Shi Lei was naturally unwilling to go out. He first checked his situation before asking Xu Wei.
In fact, this was also Xu Wei's doubt, because he did not feel any discomfort. The Qi and blood problems that the Kyushu Qi Master reminded him of were not flowing smoothly, and the separation of spirit and flesh did not happen at all.
Xu Wei was afraid of boiling frogs in warm water, so he warned him.
After all, according to what Yuan Hongzi said, the Kingdom of Zhongshan is similar to the Kingdom of Xuanyuan, with a territory of 420 million miles. If Shi Lei and two people go in, who knows when they can come out!
"Brother-in-law~"
Shi Lei thought for a moment and replied, "Of course I have something important to do when I go to the Kingdom of Zhongshan. I can't reveal it for the time being. Now that we are here, we have already fired the bow and there is no turning back. We can only take one step at a time."
"Do you have to go even if it costs your life?"
Xu Wei didn't ask much and only asked one sentence.
Shi Lei nodded silently.
Xu Wei didn't say any more, and asked Yuan Hongzi with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, you are also an old immortal who has been practicing for thousands of years, but you have never been to the country of Zhongshan?"
"I dare not call you an old immortal~"
"It's all wasted time, and I don't dare to leave the country until I transform..."
Listening to Xu Wei chatting with Yuan Hongzi, Shi Lei didn't say anything to ask Xu Wei to leave. He believed that Xu Wei would not leave.
"Senior~"
Shi Lei asked in his heart, "What's the matter with you?"
"The Kingdom of Zhongshan is the purpose of my coming to the Three Western Realms~"
"However, you must know that the more dangerous it is in the Kingdom of Zhongshan, the more secretly I will hide. Therefore, I will not show up unless there is something particularly urgent."
"Also, you have to remember, don't trust anyone, especially the royal family;"
"Don't believe any legends either. For example, you told me earlier about the battle between Xuanyuan Kingdom and the Mother Kingdom of Yuan Hongzi. History is always written by the victors, and the losers have no chance to write the truth."
After hearing the end, Shi Lei asked: "Then what do I need to do?"
"Becoming an Immortal Cultivator from the Kingdom of Zhongshan~"
Shi Lei smiled bitterly and asked, "Is this an impromptu idea that senior knew that Yuan Hongzi was following junior?"
"Yes~"
"Anyway, when you come to the country of Zhongshan, you will naturally encounter many things, many of which can be used as reasons. Since you meet Yuan Hongzi, you should first become an immortal cultivator."
Shi Lei felt bitter in his mouth and told Xu Wei's worries again.
"oh?"
The mysterious woman was surprised, "Is there such a thing? I don't know."
Seeing that Shi Lei was a little anxious, the mysterious woman added: "But you don't have to worry, if anything goes wrong, I will make up for your losses."
The question is, if the consequences mentioned by Xu Wei occur, what compensation can the mysterious woman give?
Shi Lei wanted to ask again, but the mysterious woman had stopped saying anything, and even Shi Lei himself could not find her traces.
Shi Lei actually understood what the mysterious woman was thinking.
She was just waiting for Shi Lei to arrive somewhere.
And she didn't tell Shi Lei where she was because she was afraid that Shi Lei would expose her secret. .
Even Shi Lei himself didn't know what the mission was, so of course it was impossible for Shi Lei to reveal the secret!
Of course, Shi Lei also got a clue from what he just said.
Royal family!
Whether it was the mysterious woman who warned Shi Lei not to trust the royal family, or whether she asked Shi Lei to become an immortal cultivator, it shows that Shi Lei's mission is related to the royal family.
What is the royal family?
In Yuan Hongzi's words, the royal family is a human race with the blood of gods. They are the rulers of various vassal states and represent the will of the Kunlun Divine Dynasty.
Of course, what the Third Realm of the West brought to Shi Lei was not only the royal family, but also immortal cultivators.
In the three realms of the West, those with the blood of gods do not need to practice and are born with supernatural powers. These are the so-called gods. The gods are the rulers of the Kunlun Dynasty;
If other living beings want to obtain magical powers, they must practice. The Kunlun Dynasty will
In addition to the gods, there are also immortal officials. Those who are not listed as Kunlun's gods are casual cultivators, and those who are named as gods are immortal cultivators. Immortal cultivators accumulate merit and can become immortal officials and immortal officials.
There is no sect within the Kunlun Dynasty, and everyone can practice regardless of human race or birds and beasts.
When a person attains the Tao, a chicken or a dog ascends to heaven. Since there are immortal officials, there will also be a family.
Therefore, all the creatures in the Kunlun Dynasty want to become immortal officials, because immortal officials not only have the skills to practice, but also have the resources to practice.
If you want to become an immortal official, the first step is to become an immortal cultivator.
Becoming an immortal cultivator is not that simple. It requires assessment, certification, and selection. The methods of each vassal state are different, or even very different.
Yuan Hongzi said on the road that the process of cultivating himself as an immortal was extremely difficult, so he was extremely shocked and desperate when he could not regain his human form in front of Shi Lei.
When the bell-shaped clouds and mist reached our eyes, no outline could be seen, only streaks of clouds covered the sky.
The clouds fell in the air in front of my head and condensed into a knot.
Yuan Hongzi stopped, looked at the "Boundary of Zhongshan Country" written on the knot, and said with a smile: "Sir, after passing this point, you will reach the Kingdom of Zhongshan."
"Then let's stop here~"
Shi Lei smiled, floated down from the turtle's back, took out a few jaspers and handed them to Yuan Hongzi, saying, "Thank you, fellow Taoist, this is my thanks."
"That~"
Yuan Hongzi hurriedly transformed into a human form, with a smile on his face, and said, "I have an unkind request. I wonder if I can tell it to you, sir?"
No need for Yuan Hongzi to say more, Shi Lei already understood what Yuan Hongzi meant. After all, Yuan Hongzi expressed his intention to follow him many times along the way.
Shi Lei was a little apprehensive, so he said bluntly: "Do you want to follow us to the Kingdom of Zhongshan, fellow Taoist?"
"Not only the country of Zhongshan~"
Yuan Hongzi hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "I am willing to follow you all my life, no matter where you go."
"I'll go~"
Shi Lei hurriedly helped Yuan Hongzi up and said, "Fellow Taoist, I'm afraid I may have misunderstood. I am not a divine king, nor do I have any divine bloodline."
"Sir~"
Yuan Hongzi looked at Shi Lei and said, "Young man claims to be knowledgeable, so he is naturally well-informed. He will not be mistaken."
"Your Excellency may not be a divine king now, but in the future you will at least be an immortal official. And when you become an immortal official, you will naturally need many subordinates. Humans like Master Xu are indispensable, and you need the loyalty of subordinates other than human beings. If you are not talented, I would like to I recommend myself."
Accept an NPC as your younger brother?
Did he trigger some plot?
Shi Lei suddenly felt that things were a little interesting.
"Stone~"
Xu Wei sent a message, "Yuan Hongzi is an indigenous immortal cultivator. He knows a lot of things. The most reassuring thing is that he has principles and conscience and is trustworthy. If he becomes your subordinate, he will at least have an internal response within the mountains and seas." No? No matter how you think about it, it’s a good deal.”
