Chapter 91

Having obtained the Demon Soul Contract Book, Gu Xiu smiled slightly.

As long as the demons write their names on it and drip their essence blood, the contract is completed.

If the Xuanyuan Tomb Three Demons were asked to write their names on it, they could be controlled.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the Xuanyuan Tomb Three Demons doing things behind their backs.

Putting away the contract book, Gu Xiu cast his gaze toward the official road leading to Chaoge City, and finally, thirty-odd miles away, he saw Wen Zhong leading the army back.

"Finally waited for the person."

Having stayed for a few days, Gu Xiu was a bit annoyed, so he withdrew his gaze and waited in the city.

Not long after, Wen Zhong's army entered Chaoge.

Jiang Ziya followed the army, riding a horse in front.

It can be seen that Wen Zhong treated him with courtesy and valued him very much.

Currently, the cultivators who have achieved immortality in the human cultivation sects basically go to the Heavenly Court to serve, enter the establishment, and mix with salaries.

The remaining disciples are also focused on cultivation and rarely participate in mortal disputes.

Although Jiang Ziya has not yet achieved the immortal path, he has also learned a few magic techniques in Kunlun over the years, and it is no problem to deal with some small demons and monsters. In the army dominated by mortals, he can be considered a rare talent.

Gu Xiu had no intention of seeing Wen Zhong, so he continued to stay in the restaurant to drink and listen to small tunes, observing the situation.

The next things were similar to Jiang Ziya's original fate.

Jiang Ziya was appointed as a lower grand official because of his merit in assisting Wen Zhong in pacifying the rebellion, and he was also a person with great abilities.

The only difference was that he was appointed as a lower grand official because of his merit in assisting Wen Zhong in killing the enemy and pacifying the rebellion, not because he burned the Jade Pipa Spirit in the main hall and showed his abilities, which led to Di Xin appointing him.

Gu Xiu sat by the window of the restaurant, with a pot of mellow wine and an exquisite wine cup on the table.

He glanced at the street outside, held the wine pot, poured it slowly, the clear wine flowed into the cup, and then brought the wine cup to his lips, raised his head slightly, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Next, let's see what Jiang Ziya wants to do after coming to Chaoge and what direction he will develop in. If he deviates from the direction, he must be fooled again."

At this time.

Jiang Mansion.

After Jiang Ziya was appointed as a lower grand official, he was bestowed a house.

Returning to the mansion, looking at the servants busy back and forth, Jiang Ziya fell into deep thought.

"Currently, the princes everywhere are rebelling, and Chaoge City is stable, but if the princes continue to rebel, the country will definitely be unstable. Since I have become a minister, I must also share the worries for the Great King."

But as soon as he thought of the content on the book scroll, saying that all this was the work of the Chan Sect, Jiang Ziya frowned.

"If it is just demons running rampant outside, with a capable person like Grand Preceptor Wen, as long as the Great King is not muddled, it is not difficult to keep the country, but if this matter is really related to the Chan Sect, starting the human calamity and promoting the Investiture of the Gods, just to eliminate the killing calamity for the Twelve Golden Immortals, then relying on the Grand Preceptor alone, it is impossible to protect the Yin Shang."

Having stayed on Kunlun Mountain for more than forty years, Jiang Ziya knew very well how terrible the means of immortals were.

Thinking that he was just a chess piece of the Chan Sect for the Investiture of the Gods, Jiang Ziya was unwilling.

Jiang Ziya had always been brooding over the hints on the book scroll.

"Saying that my sworn brother is someone else, then I will go to visit and confirm it."

Thinking of this, Jiang Ziya immediately went to Song Family Village, thirty-five miles from the South Gate of Chaoge, to visit his sworn brother Song Yiren.

According to his memory, Jiang Ziya arrived at his sworn brother's house.

He originally thought that it had been so many years since he returned, and things were already different. Perhaps Song Yiren no longer lived here, or had already moved.

But Jiang Ziya found that he was overthinking. Song Yiren's residence was the same as his memory forty years ago, unchanged.

"My sworn brother's family is wealthy, and he has quite a few industries in Chaoge. After so many years, the place where he lives is exactly the same as his memory forty years ago. It hasn't changed at all, which is surprising."

Jiang Ziya went up and knocked on the door, and a servant opened the door.

After stating his purpose, the servant went back to report.

After a while, a man of medium height, slightly fat, very rich, and kind-looking walked out.

Seeing Jiang Ziya, the other party looked at him twice: "Are you Ziya?"

Jiang Ziya looked at the person wearing a wide robe, combing a neat bun, with a jade hairpin inserted on it.

He always remembered the content on the book scroll, that the Song Yiren in front of him was not his sworn brother, and his sworn brother had passed away ten years ago.

Seeing the Song Yiren in front of him, it was the appearance in his memory forty years ago, which further verified the words in the book scroll.

But the other party was so enthusiastic, Jiang Ziya didn't want to show anything unusual, so he said: "Are you my elder brother, Song Yiren?"

Seeing that he had matched the number, Song Yiren was overjoyed.

"Ziya, it's really you. I didn't believe it when the servant said it was you. Come in quickly."

Jiang Ziya didn't think much and followed Song Yiren in.

Outside Song Mansion.

Gu Xiu had been paying attention to this scene.

Song Yiren was Jiang Ziya's sworn brother. Jiang Ziya was over seventy years old, and it was only after practicing the Dao that Jiang Ziya was so tough at this age.

Song Yiren was a mortal, but he looked younger than Jiang Ziya.

In the original fate, a person who hadn't seen each other for forty years, Jiang Ziya came to seek refuge, and he introduced shops, jobs, and marriages, which was very suspicious.

Opening his Heavenly Eye and Heavy Pupils, he intended to see what secrets Song Yiren had, but the result surprised Gu Xiu a bit.

Song Yiren was a skeleton and had already died, just a puppet forcibly resurrected by someone using supernatural powers.

Gu Xiu shook his head.

"It seems that in order to layout the Investiture of the Gods, the Chan Sect really took great pains to ensure that Jiang Ziya would not be helpless when he went down the mountain."

He also looked at the conversation between Jiang Ziya and Song Yiren.

Song Yiren originally wanted Jiang Ziya to live in the Song family and introduce him to a marriage.

Hearing that Jiang Ziya was already a lower grand official and had a house in the city, he was slightly stunned.

Kunlun Mountain.

Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun opened his eyes slightly while meditating, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

He immediately summoned the White Crane Boy and called Antarctic Immortal Weng over.

"Teacher, you summoned the disciple; is there something to order?" Antarctic Immortal Weng entered Jade Void Palace and bowed slightly.

Yuanshi Tianzun spoke indifferently: "Just now, while meditating, I suddenly felt something wrong. It seems that there is a problem with Jiang Ziya's side again. Go and see what the problem is."

"Yes, Teacher."

Antarctic Immortal Weng bowed slightly and retreated.

Out of Jade Void Palace, Weng frowned slightly.

"What's wrong with Jiang Ziya's side again? Could it be that he ran to peek at someone else bathing and was caught again?"

Antarctic Immortal Weng sighed.

"Really not letting people worry."

Just as he wanted to go to Chaoge to find Jiang Ziya, he met Huanglong Zhenren.

"Senior Brother Antarctic, seeing you frowning, could it be that something happened again? If there is anything I can help with, Senior Brother, just order it."

Huanglong Zhenren walked up with enthusiasm.

Although he was one of the Twelve Golden Immortals, Huanglong was not valued in the Chan Sect and was discriminated against everywhere.

The other Twelve Golden Immortals could get the complete inheritance of Yuanshi Tianzun.

Not only did he not get a magic treasure when he became a disciple, but even the complete inheritance was not passed on by Yuanshi Tianzun. He only symbolically passed on the Jade Pure Immortal Method to him and did not pass on the rest of the inheritance at all.

Knowing that he was a different kind and not liked, Huanglong had been working diligently to show himself, wanting to get the attention of Yuanshi Tianzun.

The arrival of the Investiture of the Gods gave him a chance, and he intended to show himself in the Investiture of the Gods to accumulate merit, so that maybe he would get the attention of Yuanshi Tianzun.

Antarctic Immortal Weng naturally knew Huanglong's thoughts and refused.

"Junior Brother Huanglong, Teacher asked me to handle some things. It's just a small matter. I'll just run it myself."

Huanglong originally wanted to say that a small matter should be found for him, but Antarctic Immortal Weng had already stepped on auspicious clouds and left.
