Adoption brings disaster

It is said that the bird flew into the mist, and the mist actually dispersed half a meter, revealing a path covered with moss and weeds. We followed the path and entered the mountain where the Zhaixing Tower was located.

This mountain looks towering into the clouds, but it is actually not as high as imagined. After walking a little further in, you can see the top of the mountain. If you use your lightness skills, you can reach the top in about an incense stick of time.

However, this is the territory of Zhaixing Tower. Who would dare to use lightness skills to go up in such a rebellious way? Everyone walked honestly. Ada and others even kowtowed every three steps, which was really pious.

Seeing this, Xia Qing ignored it and just followed the bird obediently, circling up the mountain path.

Xia Qing walked like this for two hours, thinking that this mountain was actually no different from other mountains, except that the scenery was slightly better, the plants grew more lush, the animals were more comfortable, and some were even less afraid of people.

When we reached halfway up the mountain, the fog was even thicker, and there was something strange about it. I have practiced the White Rat Magic, so my eyesight is very good.

Outside, even in foggy weather, I can still see things clearly hundreds of meters away.

But it seemed like something in the mountains suppressed my power. Things two meters away were not very clear, and five meters away were a group of black shadows. These shadows were either still or moving, some were baring fangs and claws, and some were graceful and graceful. They looked very scary.

I thought to myself, fortunately I didn’t rashly use my Qinggong skills to rush up, otherwise I would have gotten here and been separated from the spirit bird, and I wouldn’t know what to do.

The spirit bird seemed unaffected by the fog and led the way, flying for a while and stopping for a while. Although it was always walking on a flat road, looking at the sun looming in the sky, it still felt like it was walking up the mountain.

Just as we continued to follow the spirit bird upwards, suddenly a woman in red flew past me, like a ghost demanding life. In such a foggy mountain, it was really terrifying.

I was startled and said, "You saw a red dress, and then it disappeared."

The place where the Zhaixing Tower is located is a sacred and inviolable holy place in the eyes of the old Taoist priest. How could there be such unclean things there?

The old Taoist priest thought I was crazy, otherwise he wouldn't have said he wanted to attack Zhaixing Tower, but he wouldn't say that out loud.

Instead, he smiled calmly and said, "This formation contains an illusion array. It's not surprising for the leader to see anything. Just ignore her and follow the spirit bird forward and everything will be fine."

"I didn't see a red robe, but I saw my dead brother with an arrow shot by the northern Huns in his chest, asking me why I didn't save him." Ada also saw something horrible and said in horror.

Xiao Gao Wuxin and the others also talked about what they saw and heard. The contents were different, but they were all the things that scared them the most.

But I found that there was nothing special about this red dress. It was just weird and scary, but it did not evoke the dusty past in my heart.

I always felt that there was something wrong with the red dress, and I told everyone what I thought.

The old Taoist thought I was crazy and said, "Everyone sees and hears different things. It must be an illusion. Everyone should keep their original mind and follow the spirit bird through this section. Everything will be fine."

I wanted to say more, but I heard a chirping sound. The spirit bird saw that we had stopped and was urging us to leave quickly.

Everyone was afraid and didn't dare to stop. They just followed the spirit bird up the mountain.

There are many illusions in this mountain, and all kinds of joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, worry, worry and fear come together.

Everyone in this illusion was either happy, crying or dumbfounded. I was the only one who saw nothing except the person in red clothes who had been following us.

I knew they wouldn't believe it, so I didn't tell them about this strange situation. I just kept on guard against the person in red at all times.

We followed the spirit bird like this for most of the day, experiencing all kinds of illusions and desires, and finally stopped in front of a dilapidated yard.

There is a large stone tablet in front of the yard, with the words "Zhaixing Tower" written on it. Under the tablet, there are a few chickens eating insects leisurely.

"Is this the Zhaixing Tower?" I said in disbelief as I looked at the dilapidated village in front of me.

"Immortals are naturally different from us mortals. They have long since transcended external things and no longer cling to them, so they rarely repair them. This Zhaixing Tower looks even more dilapidated than before."

The Thief Saint said this in worship, then took out a night pearl from his arms and placed it respectfully under the stone tablet, as if the night pearl was a smelly garbage that would pollute the stone tablet and the land by placing it there.

The old Taoist priest and the living Buddha also took out treasures from their arms and presented them to Zhaixing Tower. Even Ada and the others prepared treasures, and Ada and Xiao Gao also prepared one for me.

Seeing their blind worship of Zhaixing Tower, I was disgusted. I threw the treasure aside and said impatiently, "Since you are beyond the external world, why are you still giving us these treasures? Don't you think these immortals are just looking at you based on your status, showing affection if you give them treasures, but looking down on you if you don't?"

When the Living Buddha saw me say such outrageous words, he quickly said, "Immortals naturally don't need these mundane things, but offering treasures is our sincere gift. How can we compare them?"

The meaning of this is quite clear. It is my business whether to send it or not, and it is his business whether to accept it or not. The immortals will certainly look down on these mundane things, but we cannot not send them just because they don't need them. It is a matter of thought.

After hearing this, I rolled my eyes at them and said quietly, "You've probably forgotten one thing. You're not here to pay homage to the Immortal, but to follow me to attack the Star-Picking Tower. Forget about these scraps of copper, iron, gold, silver, and jewelry that I don't even care about. Even if you presented the finest treasures in the world, would that absolve you of the sin of attacking me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned again and didn't know what to say.

Only the old Heavenly Master smiled awkwardly and said, "Master Alliance Leader, you should prioritize peace when doing things. Don't keep mentioning the word 'punishment'. Who knows, once you enter the Star-Picking Tower, you might be so impressed by the immortals' demeanor that you won't even mention the word 'punishment' again."

Hearing this, I felt a little irritated and said viciously, "What immortal demeanor? They are just pretending to be gods. Today I will attack the Zhaixing Tower and let the world see their true colors."

After saying this, he looked at the figure in red that was faintly visible in the distant woods and shouted even louder, "The crusade has been decided. Anyone who disrupts the morale of our army again will be punished by military law."

I glanced at the other side of the forest and said meaningfully, "This expedition is a matter of great importance and cannot be taken lightly. If anyone makes a mistake, beware of my military punishment."

After saying that, I ignored the stunned crowd and walked straight to the gate of the yard, ready to kick the dilapidated gate.

Just as I was about to kick, a half-grown child in patched linen clothes opened the door and said with a smile, "Welcome, Martial Arts Alliance Leader. Please come this way."

Judging from his appearance, he should be a low-ranking servant in Zhaixing Tower, so I didn't make things difficult for him. I just nodded and walked in with a proud look on my face.

The three old Taoist priests following behind me nodded and bowed to the child, calling him "Immortal" over and over. It looked really funny.

The village is many times bigger than it looks from the outside, but it is full of low houses that stretch as far as the eye can see.

When the people in the house heard the noise outside, they poked their heads out and looked at me excitedly, shouting, "It's true, it's true, what the poster said is true."

I don’t know if what they are saying is true or what they are talking about, but the feeling of being treated like a monkey makes me feel very uncomfortable.

I glanced around coldly and shouted, "Shut up, everyone! I'm here to punish you. Do you surrender or not?"

I originally thought that I would encounter huge resistance. Even if there was no resistance, they would at least say a few sarcastic words to me. I even thought that the old Taoist priest and his men would suddenly turn against me, capture me, and burn me to death to show their loyalty to Zhaixing Tower.

But in fact, everyone in Zhaixing Tower was grinning, and they were all laughing happily.

After hearing my questions, they all surrendered. Not only did they surrender, they also walked out of their houses and lined the streets to welcome us.

From this scene, it seems that we are not here to attack them at all, but like a victorious general accepting the cheers of the people.

The boy who opened the door was also a little excited. He said a few words to this one and smiled at that one. Seeing that I was a little impatient, he led us forward again.

At this moment, another child pulled me back. Although the child was wearing rags of linen, he was very clean.

He looked so cute that I couldn't help but want to get close to him. The child also liked me very much and took my hand and asked me to hug him.

Of course I wouldn't hit a child, so I picked him up effortlessly.

The child kissed me on the cheek and asked innocently, "Brother, can you have children?"

This was just childish talk. I laughed out loud and said, "How can men give birth to children? Only women can give birth to children."

"It's really strange. I think you will have four children in the future, two sons and two daughters. How can you have children if you can't have children?"

The child frowned and said these unreasonable words, which made him look even more adorable.

"I can't have children, but my brother can find a sister to have children with." I explained patiently.

"No, no, brother can't ask sister to have children in the future." After hearing this, the child was so anxious that he almost cried.

I quickly patted the child and asked, "Why not? Men are supposed to be with women. That's the only way to have children."

When I said this, Xiao Tao, who had always helped me, immediately appeared in my mind. I don’t know how Xiao Tao is doing now, and whether those naughty kids have pissed him off to death.

But Xiaotao is so capable, I think she can handle the work well.

"Brother, you are a phoenix, and you will give birth to children for the dragon throne in the future. You can't find another woman." The child explained.

I don't quite understand what the child said, but children's words are innocent, so there is no need to take them too seriously.

So I just followed the child's words and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. In the future, I won't ask a sister to give birth to my child. I'll ask a dragon to give birth to his child, okay?"

After hearing this, the child smiled, kissed me and ran away. I followed the boy and continued walking forward.

Soon we arrived at a pond. We didn't know where the water in the pond came from, but we saw the water at one end flowing continuously down the mountain, but the water in the pond did not decrease at all.

There is a pavilion in the middle of the pond, not far from the shore. When I got here, it seemed that my power was no longer suppressed, and I could fly up in a moment.

I saw two people sitting in the pavilion. The boy smiled and said, "The leader and three other leaders, the tower master and the elders have been waiting for a long time. The leader wants to attack our Zhaixing Tower, and everyone except the elders has surrendered."

The boy's meaning is very clear. If you want to attack, then attack. As long as you can deal with the elders, the attack will be successful.

Ada and the others have no idea what is going on. I risked the whole world's condemnation to attack Zhaixing Tower, but Zhaixing Tower surrendered without any resistance. It was like playing house.

However, it would be best if the matter could be resolved peacefully. After all, there are only a few people going up the mountain together. As long as everyone speaks with one voice, the crusade can be easily turned into a meeting.

Of course, even if everyone came down the mountain and said they were going to attack Zhaixing Tower, neither the people in the martial arts world nor the court would recognize it. However, if it could be resolved peacefully, everyone would be happy.

I didn't waste any time and flew into the pavilion. There was a square table and four stools in the pavilion. The owner of Zhaixing Tower and the elders sat opposite each other. I also found a seat and sat down at random. The leaders of the three major sects stood respectfully behind another empty chair, and no one showed any intention of sitting down.

There was nothing on the table. The elder was holding a pear and playing with it, smelling it from time to time but not eating it.

When he saw me, he didn't play with the pear, but put it in his arms very carefully, looked at the host and said coquettishly: "I didn't expect that what you said was true. It's really strange."

Then he looked at me seriously.

I felt uncomfortable being stared at like that, and seeing his stingy look made me even more furious. I shouted to Ah Da on the shore, "Ah Da, go make some tea and get some food."

"It's our fault for not hosting you well enough," the host said with a smile. Then, with a casual wave of his hand, a pot of tea and some food appeared on the table. He said, "There's nothing else in the building, Your Highness Qianqiu, please make do with it. Please don't mind."

I didn't want to eat anything, but when I saw the elder saw me, he put the ugly pear that was covered with his saliva into his arms. I was so annoyed that I asked A Da to get some food.

Now that I have entered the Zhaixing Tower and met the owner and the elders, the next step is to ask them everything I want to know.

Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.
