Chapter 728: Chapter 318: The Second Passage
“Don’t you want to improve the living conditions of your Fox Clan and enhance your social status? Then you must learn to manipulate public opinion. As for how to do it and what specific things to do with it… I can’t tell you now.”
“When can you tell then?”
“When you pay a hefty sum for knowledge.” Zhou Xuan slyly smiled: “Equivalent exchange is a manifestation of civilization, and knowledge also needs to be paid for.”
“How much does the Great Scholar need?”
“About this? Let think about it when I return, but money, I don’t need. As for food, how much can I eat with one mouth? The price I need is very high, King Xishan, you need to consider carefully.”
Zhou Xuan said.
“Of course, of course… When the Young Master… Great Scholar has thought it through, directly tell , and I will surely pay that… um… knowledge fee in full.”
“Not a problem, not a problem.”
Zhou Xuan clasped his fists and responded.
The conversation between him and King Xishan ended, and at the God Sacrifice Platform, it was the turn of Shi Family Village’s ritual.
There are sixteen Yin Halls, but only one God Sacrifice Platform, so naturally, they take turns.
The sacrifice from Shi Family Village was Ah Wang.
Ah Wang, in the stone chamber, had been disassembled into pieces by the tribe, similar to a mass of shredded at, but the tribe didn’t know, a section of intestine was missing from the mass.
And this section of intestine, under the urging of the Bone God’s Index Finger, activated the Star Law’s “Star Transformation Technique”, transforming into flickering dots of light, which were blown out by the mountain wind swirling in Gangfeng Cave.
Zhou Xuan was also a person of the third realm of the Star Law, knowing the thod of “Star Transformation”, he released Perception, tracked the location of the “Ah Wang light” and left the cave.
Outside the cave, still under the watch of the four Day Patrol Deities, Ah Wang descended through the light point and beca a complete, lively person again.
The Star Transformation Technique can transform the body into starlight, as long as one speck of starlight escapes, you can live again.
“High Priest.” Ah Wang bowed to Zhou Xuan.
“You did well. Seeing how many of the tribe shed tears for your sacrifice at Shi Family Village, I knew you didn’t show any folly.”
“Bone God’s Index Finger, incredibly magical.”
“You better not return for now, Xia Jin.”
Zhou Xuan beckoned to Xia Jin and other lanterns, seven incense sticks’ “Exorcism”, Xia Jin, descended from the lantern.
The mission of Exorcism is to slay the demon clans causing chaos in the State, under the jurisdiction of Sun Traveling God.
“Lord Shu.” Xia Jin didn’t know that Li Chengfeng had already beco “Zhou Xuan”.
“Keep an eye on him, don’t let others find him.” Zhou Xuan pointed to Ah Wang and spoke to Xia Jin.
“Understood.”
Xia Jin flung out a black cloth, palm-sized. When flying in the air, it beca a black umbrella, covering Ah Wang. Unless soone forcibly lifted the umbrella to look inside, they couldn’t see who was under it.
If soone forcefully lifted it? Xia Jin might draw his bow and shoot them directly.
After finishing all this, Zhou Xuan stepped onto the path back to the cave.
As he walked to the winding mountain path of the cave, Li Chengfeng seized the mont when no one was around, then asked: “Young Master, you really want to guide the rise of the Fox Clan?”
“Yes.”
“If the Fox Clan rises, our Human Clan will suffer.”
“Don’t worry, my guidance is a gentle thod, the Human Clan won’t suffer, wait…” Zhou Xuan perceived sothing, and stopped talking.
Suddenly, spatial cracks appeared, and the Painter erged, hurriedly saying: “Young Master, don’t fall into King Xishan’s trap, his ambitions are huge.”
“How can you draw him in without great ambitions?”
Zhou Xuan said.
“He wears a red top, why draw him?”
The Painter said confidently.
King Xishan was granted a red cap by the Capital Mansion, given a decree, only then beca the Lord of the Shadow Hall in Mingjiang Prefecture.
That red top tightly secures him like a dog leash, he can’t break free.
“You really think he can’t break free?”
Zhou Xuan said: “King Xishan, such figures, are very cautious… these days… probably accepted promises from Gong Zheng, that dog leash is almost breaking.”
“But he still ca to Gangfeng Cave.”
“He’s just hesitating.” Zhou Xuan said: “In his hesitation, he stands in the position of Mingjiang Prefecture, however, observing his attitude towards you all, this hesitation is still ongoing, I use the hope of Fox Clan’s prosperity to sever his indecisiveness.”
He paused, then said: “Besides, the red top King Xishan wears, is a chain that the Capital Mansion used to bind him. With such high incense offerings, King Xishan shouldn’t be controlled by the Capital Mansion, he will stand firmly on our side.”
“Will the Fox Clan cause chaos in the future…”
“Rest assured, I have my asures.” Zhou Xuan said with a smile.
The Painter asked again: “Let’s not talk about the Fox Clan matters, Young Master, have you thought of how to deal with the Heavenly Ghosts Sharing thod?”
“No.”
“If that’s the case, why not pause the ritual and stop Gong Zheng from descending into the human world, becoming a disaster for humanity.”
The Painter further sought whether to halt the altar.
“No rush, there’s still ti, still can think.” Zhou Xuan said.
“There’s not much ti left, once four more Yin Halls complete their rituals, the Joint Blood Sacrifice ends.”
“Ti is abundant, just wait, Old Hua, follow my instructions.” Zhou Xuan said.
“Oh…”
The Painter thought for a mont, still nodded in agreent.
…
Resuming his place, Zhou Xuan continued to boldly observe the Blood Sacrifice, showing no sign of intending to figure out how to crack the “Heavenly Ghosts Sharing thod”.
The Painter grew evidently impatient.
More anxious than the Painter was King Xishan.
King Xishan remained calm most of the ritual, but now was restless, pacing in so corner, and conversed with the Fox Slave.
Through the conversation, his expression beca increasingly firm, then he approached Zhou Xuan, smiling, shook hands with Zhou Xuan, and said: “Listening to the Great Scholar today felt enlightening, like a sudden awakening, in the coming days, I must visit your residence and chat.”
“Not a problem, not a problem.”
Zhou Xuan responded without changing his expression, even though he clearly perceived King Xishan’s middle finger writing in the palm of his hand.
The words he wrote were clearly five characters “Buddha Country, Seeking Wave Monk”.
“Oh, it turns out the net I cast is ant to capture Seeking Wave Monk.”
Zhou Xuan gazed at the God Sacrifice Platform, murmuring to himself…
