Adoption brings disaster

The scene of my reunion with the elder poster was quite funny.

For some reason, the host and the elder looked exactly the same as when I first met them. They stood there calmly and composedly, like wealthy old men living in the mountains.

Not only were they dressed appropriately, but even the dust on their bodies was gone, as if they had not participated in the one-sided massacre by the woman in red at all.

But I was like a refugee, with wounds all over my body. Although they were not serious, they were scary to look at.

Not to mention the clothes, it was natural for others to mistake me for the leader of the Beggars' Sect, so I looked at the two people in front of me in disbelief.

Seeing that I was a little surprised, the two of them also explained with a smile: "As long as we, the people of God, are under the glory of God, we are immortal and pure and spotless."

The elder said this with great pride, and his tone unconsciously became high.

"Is it really glorious? The Star-Picking Tower that I can't leave, the various delicacies of the world that I can't taste, and the thousand-year life without mercy or complaints. Is this a blessing or a curse? I'm afraid it's hard to say." I thought about what the woman in red told me, and said tentatively sarcastically.

I guess I touched a sore spot for the elder, as he immediately flew into a rage, cursing, "How dare you! How dare you meddle with God's gift?"

I remained calm, chuckled, and said, "You're angry. It seems I was right."

The elder wanted to say something, but I didn't give him the chance. I looked at the three sect leaders lying under the white cloth and continued, "Blessing or curse, it has nothing to do with me. Now you should fulfill your promise and tell me about that matter."

"Just because you just spoke ill of God, you are no longer qualified to get an answer to that matter." The elder said with an arrogant look, like a superior.

Since I dared to reveal my cards, I must have some means to control Zhaixing Tower. I sneered, "Let me think about it. Since you are God's people, beings superior to all living beings, an ant like me has to curry favor with you, right?"

The elder saw my unfriendly look, and although he didn't know what I was going to do, he felt nervous. But he couldn't show his fear, so he could only pretend to be calm and said, "What do you want to do? Don't think I'm afraid of you. As long as I give the order, you will have no place in Beishang."

I ignored the elder's threats and said with a smile, "Of course I believe it, but I'm not doing anything special. I just wanted to treat the two immortals well. The immortals work very hard to protect the world. I took the two immortals for a walk down the mountain to show my appreciation. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Seeing that they both looked unhappy, I realized that what the red-dressed woman said was true. I laughed and said, "It seems I was right again. You don't go down the mountain, not because you don't want to, but because you can't stay down there for too long."

I already had the capital to negotiate with them, so naturally I didn't bother wasting time. With a cold face, I threatened directly, "Since you know about that incident, I think you know that I'm different from others. I won't blindly worship you pathetic creatures. If I really get angry and capture you, I will definitely find a way to kill you. And don't worry, no one will know."

"Zhaixinglou is a company of its word. Since we've promised to tell you about that matter, we will definitely not break the contract. The elder is just teasing you, don't take it to heart."

Maybe my eyes were too terrifying, or maybe it was because they were not sure whether I would really do that, but the poster quickly admitted his mistake and even spoke in a very kind tone.

The host took the initiative to give in, and I had no interest in being unreasonable. I just said lightly: "I really want to express my feelings, and the rest is just a joke. I think the elder is tolerant and will not mind it."

"Hahahaha, the leader is a man who has made great contributions to the world. We naturally won't care about such a mere joke." The host also said with a smile.

I also wanted to know the story quickly, so I didn't say anything more. I just said, "Okay, stop joking around and tell me the story."

The poster didn't say much, but quickly took out a note from his pocket and handed it to me.

I took the note and looked at it. It clearly said: "Four Sacred Fruits Fell into the Dark River and Returned."

I roughly understood what these eight words meant, so I stopped arguing and turned to leave.

Seeing that I was about to leave, the host kindly reminded me, "I really don't know the use of the Four Sacred Fruits, but I have also calculated that there is a method in the capital to get the Four Sacred Fruits. Given the leader's intelligence, I think he will know the meaning of these four words when he returns to the capital."

The host was showing goodwill, so I didn't want to hit someone who was smiling. I nodded to express my gratitude, then glanced at the elder with a slanted eye and said meaningfully, "If the Four Sacred Fruits are not used to subdue evil spirits, then they must have other uses."

The elder was still a little upset because I had spoken ill of God, but upon hearing me say this, he said, "So what? The evil demon has been destroyed, so how the Four Sacred Fruits are used is no longer important."

"Haha, haven't you gods told you that this kind of treasure that gathers the luck of heaven and earth will disappear if its owner dies." I said with a sneer.

The elder didn't understand the meaning of my words for a moment, and said with his neck stiff, "So?"

I sneered and said, "So you must take good care of me and protect me. If the luck of heaven and earth dissipates by a little, it will be reduced by a little. If anything happens to me, you will be the sinners of this world."

The Zhaixing Tower has been a high and mighty existence for thousands of years. Not to mention being threatened by someone like me, it has never even been threatened by someone with a slightly harsher tone.

Seeing my threatening look, they all looked like a smug villain, their faces flushed with anger.

But the Four Sacred Fruits were still in my body, and I also had ways to control them. They couldn't do anything to me, so they had to slam the door shut to avoid seeing me getting angry.

After hearing this, the elder was so angry that his hands and feet were shaking, but he couldn't do anything to me. He glared at me fiercely and then gritted his teeth and went into a room, without making any sound.

"What are your plans next, leader?" The host did not seem unhappy at all, and asked kindly like a kind old man.

I'm a soft-hearted person, and seeing the host so kind, I didn't want to say anything harsh to hurt him, but I still looked unhappy. I said, "I don't have any plans, but I have to go down the mountain first and then figure it out. Besides, I'm not a good person, so I can't stay here forever. If I defile the precious land of your Zhaixing Tower, I can't afford to pay for it."

After hearing this, the host also said: "The King of Zhenbei has passed away. The coffin will be transported to the capital in five days. The leader of the alliance must return to the capital to pay his respects."

Oh my god, I almost forgot such an important thing, but the road to Beijing is long, and I’m afraid it will be difficult to go back in five days.

The host seemed to see my concerns and suggested, "There's a secret passage in the building, like an underground river. It takes two or three hours to get to the outside of Tianjin City. From Tianjin City to the capital, it's only a day's journey. We won't miss the funeral of the King of Zhenbei."

Seeing that the OP had arranged everything so well, I couldn't help but be tempted, but I had just threatened them, and I was still a little afraid that they would cheat me.

So, pretending to be joking, he said, "The host has made such thorough arrangements, could there be some other plan?"

Seeing that I was suspicious of him, the host didn't get angry, but just smiled and said, "Of course there is no calculation, but this journey will not be peaceful. After all, the King of Zhenbei is gone, and those evil people are fearless, so they will naturally come out to do evil."

I was thinking about what the OP said. What Zhaixinglou said must be true. So it seems that I have no choice but to accept the OP's suggestion. Otherwise, I would have to walk such a long distance and I don't know how much trouble would arise.

"I don't think you would dare to harm me," I said.

"The elder may have a bit of a strange temper, but he definitely doesn't mean to harm you. Please trust us," the host said humbly. "It's just that the road ahead is a bit dangerous. Although the leader can escape unscathed, it's still better to be careful to avoid unnecessary suffering."

Success makes people arrogant, and arrogance makes people conceited. I couldn't listen to any of this now, so I said nonchalantly, "I remember that Zhaixing Tower is known for its meticulous planning. Even if you said it was dangerous and I was careful, what's the point? You also said I could escape unscathed, so why should I be careful?"

This is the truth. The host was speechless for a moment after hearing this. After a long while, he said, "Don't you respect heaven and earth, and don't believe in ghosts and gods in your world?"

This was so out of place that I didn't understand what it meant for a moment. I said, "Huh? What do you mean by that?"

The poster explained, "Do you know how those destined people reacted after they knew that I had killed the evil demon? They cried bitterly and begged God to protect them. As God's messengers, we dare not offend these destined people at all."

I understood what the original poster meant, looked at him sincerely, and said, "Do you think the God you serve is truly perfect?"

The host had served the gods for thousands of years and was extremely devout to them. Upon hearing Xia Qing's question, he immediately replied with certainty, "Of course. This is our belief."

I chuckled and said, "Since God is perfect, he won't bless me just because I don't ask him for help. Or, he will bless me just because I try to please you. If that's the case, then what's the difference between God and ordinary people?"

The poster was stunned by my question again. He couldn't answer for a while and fell into deep thought.

I didn't give the poster much time to think, and continued, "As for faith, I have it too, but not in God, but this."

I took out the silver bills from my arms and threw them into the air. The wind blew the silver bills everywhere.

A banknote floated into the host's arms. He took it in his hand and asked suspiciously, "Banknote?"

"Yes, my faith is money." I now say this with conviction and humility, like a devout believer. "Money is my only faith. I am willing to fight for money my whole life, even at the cost of my life. I only hope that money will be moved by me and give me countless money."

I can finally say this with confidence and openness. I really feel that my life has been elevated.

As teachers for so many years, we have been asked to maintain poverty. We are paid less than 3,000 yuan a month, but are asked to do work worth more than 30,000 yuan. If you have any complaints, it means that there is a problem with your teaching ethics and you are not worthy of being a teacher.

For so many years, my dream has always been to stop being a teacher after I have money.

There is really endless material to do, endless classes to attend, endless anger to endure, and endless chicken soup to drink. I love education and I love children, but these should not be the reasons for my poverty, nor are they the reasons for everyone to trample me in the mud.

The host didn't understand why I was so obsessed with money. He continued to ask, "But as far as I know, you are not a person who is extravagant. What do you need so much money for?"

"You can choose not to spend money, but you can't live without it." It's useless to talk to someone who doesn't understand. I didn't explain and said, "Forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you. Just send me away quickly."

The OP really didn't understand, nor did he want to understand, so he could only smile bitterly and say, "Is it really right to leave the future of this world to you?"

I listened and chuckled, "It was your God who sent me to this world, so are you questioning your God?"

The OP has always had unwavering faith in God's decision. Even when I wanted to attack Zhaixing Tower, they never doubted God's decision.

But this question made the poster silent. He did not answer the question, but quietly and silently took me to a cave as if with doubt.

The host didn't want to talk to me anymore. He pointed at the cave and said, "You go in through this cave. There's a slope. Slide down and you'll get there."

I feel like the poster must be very annoyed with me right now. The tone of his voice is full of disgust, and he can't wait for me to get out.

But it doesn't matter. I already know how to go back anyway. When I return to the capital and deal with all the things, I will carry a big bag of gold, silver and jewelry and go back to my original world to live a good life, a life of luxury with endless money.

I was happy in my heart, but secretly thought that I just didn't know how the Four Sacred Fruits would fall. This still requires careful study.

Seeing that I wasn't going in, the host took it as a sign of worry and continued, "Wu Xin Wu De and the other two have already gone. I think they've arrived by now and should be ready to pick you up. Don't be afraid, it'll be quick."

This sounds strange, like a scumbag seducing a decent woman, but it's not that serious. I didn't bother to dwell on the important matters and walked straight into the cave, heading towards the slope the OP mentioned.

This slope is like riding a roller coaster. You slide down and fly up in the bottomless cave. It is fun and exciting.

I was also on this interesting roller coaster, going down towards Tianjin.

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