Chapter 148: Choosing a wise leader, Daxia State Master
The time has come, Gu Yuexi asks Huowa and Shuiwa to go to the capital prison to meet Zhao Hu.
Zhao Hu was still lamenting how difficult life was when suddenly two children appeared in the cell. He was startled and looked around.
"Who are you? Where did you come from?"
He was the only one in the prison and there were jailers outside. How come no one noticed the two children who suddenly appeared?
"We are the boys serving the Golden Saint Goddess, the mountain spirit of the Golden Saint Mountain Range. The Goddess asks you if you remember what she said a year ago? If you choose to go to Qihuang Mountain and fight against the violent summer with the prince of Duke Jiang, we will take you back to Qihuang Mountain now." Huowa told him his purpose.
Zhao Hu’s memories were taken back to a year ago.
He led his troops and was trapped in the fog. It was Queen Jin who saved him. She also said that Da Xia was doomed and asked him to make a choice early. He was so loyal that how could he betray Da Xia? He did not respond at that time, but now he was trapped in prison and felt that God was playing a joke on him.
The wise emperor was blinded by the war. He ignored his loyal old ministers and the millions of suffering people behind him. He just wanted to expand the territory and listened to the advice of the national teacher, pushing the foundation of the Great Xia into the abyss.
"I..." His lips trembled.
The Fire Baby and the Water Baby waited patiently.
They had already gotten the answer from Zhao Hu's conflicted expression: Zhao Hu would choose to leave with them.
There was nothing left in this empire for him to miss.
If you want to protect the millions of people behind you, you don't have to be loyal to Daxia.
The emperor is tyrannical, he should choose another wise ruler.
"I will leave with you, but I have a request." Zhao Hu finally made up his mind to betray Da Xia. As Empress Jin Sheng said, Da Xia's fate had run out and there was no way to save it.
He would be dead if he stayed here.
Those soldiers will also be exhausted by Your Majesty.
He not only considers himself, but also the soldiers and their families.
Huowa asked: "What's your request?"
Zhao Hu bowed and said, "Two immortal children, can you take the officials and their families in prison away? They are all promising talents. If Your Majesty had not listened to the words of the Imperial Master, they would not have suffered this disaster."
He added: "If the common people persuade them, they will definitely be loyal to the Golden Saint Goddess."
Huowa nodded: "Of course!"
Mortals may not be able to rescue hundreds of people, but they can, because they are not mortals. This time, the Queen Mother also gave them a Qiankun bag, which is just enough to put them in and take them to Qihuang Mountain.
"Thank you Fairy Boy."
Huowa and Shuiwa went to other cells.
The other cells were not as quiet as the one where Zhao Hu was alone, and the crying continued for a long time.
They did not show up, but directly used the Qiankun bag to collect the people. They collected more than 300 people and there was still a lot of space left in the Qiankun bag.
The people inside screamed.
"where is this place?"
"Dad, Mom, it's so dark, I'm scared... woo woo..."
"Could it be that the Imperial Master used magic to send us to this dark place, with the intention of leaving us to fend for ourselves?"
The people inside were speculating.
Return to Zhao Hu's cell again.
Zhao Hu knew they were going to rescue people, but they came back the same way they went, with no one around them. He asked in confusion, "Xiantong, where are they?"
Shuiwa picked up the ordinary-looking Qiankun bag.
Zhao Hu was secretly shocked, it was indeed a divine method.
Such a torn sackcloth bag can actually hold hundreds of people.
"Now, let's go."
Fire Boy and Water Boy casually drew a teleportation formation.
"brush!"
Suddenly, a powerful spiritual power attacked from behind.
Huowa and Shuiwa quickly took Zhao Hu and hid away.
"Since you're here, don't leave!"
A mellow and indifferent voice was heard, followed by a flash of blue light, and a Taoist priest in Taoist robes and with sharp eyes appeared in front of him.
He looked to be in his forties, but he was lithe and walked as lightly as the wind.
The cultivation level is not low!
In the past year, Huowa and Shuiwa have carried out many missions for their master. While subduing demons and monsters, they met several mortal Taoist priests with high cultivation. Without exception, they were all upright people who subdued demons and monsters and saved all living things.
However, they felt a spiritual power from the person in front of them that was even stronger than theirs.
Half a year ago, the Queen had already raised their cultivation to the late stage of foundation building, approaching the Golden Core stage. They were already first or second-rate people in this small world. As a result, this person's cultivation was slightly lower than the Queen's. I'm afraid he is the number one master in this world.
The two kids protected Zhao Hu.
Zhao Hu was terrified: "Why is the Imperial Master here?"
"I have cast a forbidden spell here. Anyone who breaks into the cell without permission will be under my watch. Do you think they can save you?" The national master replied slowly.
He looked at the two kids with sharp eyes, his tone full of sarcasm and cruelty: "You two still want to take them away? You are dreaming."
The two kids realized it immediately.
Now we can’t fight, we can only run!
Because they couldn't win, and it might also implicate the people in the Qiankun bag and Zhao Hu.
"I didn't see anyone in the other cells. It seems that they were taken away by you. But I didn't sense their breath. Do you have some magic weapon that can reach the sky?"
He looked at the Qiankun bag in Shuiwa's hand with a determined look on his face, and said with a smile: "It's mine now!"
He teleported in front of the two kids at an extremely fast speed and raised his hand to grab the Qiankun bag. Shuiwa quickly put the Qiankun bag into his own space.
"You are the one who is wishful thinking."
Although they were preparing to escape, the two kids still took out their weapons. They put Zhao Hu into their Qiankun bag so that it would be more convenient for them to run away.
The goal failed, and the national teacher snorted coldly: "Your cultivation is not low."
But he could see that these two children were not as good as himself.
"Release them and give me the magic weapon as an apology, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless and tearing you two into pieces!"
"That's a nice thought. I'm a fairy boy serving the Golden Saint Goddess, the mountain spirit of the Golden Saint Mountain Range. I'm a fairy. Just like you, a mortal, you think you can snatch things from me?" Huowa mocked him.
The national teacher frowned and said, "Golden Saint Goddess, the mountain spirit of the Golden Saint Mountain Range? You are actually someone close to her. She is a big demon, right? Tell her that our national teacher wants to cooperate with her. As long as you help our national teacher achieve his wish, our national teacher is willing to share the eternal foundation of Great Xia with her!"
I heard that they were disciples of the Golden Saint Goddess.
The national teacher had an idea in his mind.
He decided not to kill the two kids.
That Golden Saint Goddess has a magical storage weapon, so there must be more. A hint of greed appeared in his heart.
If he could cooperate with her, I think his cultivation would be further improved.
He didn't believe that the Golden Saint Goddess was a deity. He estimated that she was just a thousand-year-old or ten-thousand-year-old demon. There were no such things as deities in this world. If there were deities, he could achieve immortality through cultivation. Unfortunately, he had been searching for thousands of years but had not found any.
But God was not too unkind to him.
Let him find a way to prolong his life.
He survived for thousands of years by this method.
The Golden Saint Goddess must be just a big demon. She is probably also looking for ways to continue her practice. The demons also yearn for wealth and glory in the human world. By exchanging Daxia’s foundation with her for practice resources, neither of them will lose out.
Shui Wa said, "The Queen is a natural deity, how could she cooperate with someone like you who has ulterior motives?"
The Imperial Master was confident: "As long as you convey the message, I don't believe she will not be tempted. This is also your only chance to survive!"
