Zhao Lei looked at the large group of busy people under the city wall and grinned.
Seeing the smile on Zhao Lei's face, even Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't help but feel a little creepy.
How sinister and sinister do you have to be in your heart to smile like this?
As expected, what Zhao Lei said next subverted her views.
Zhao Lei suddenly took out a few broken pieces of silver: "Do you know what these are, fellow Taoist?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned slightly and nodded.
Isn't this the currency that mortals use to trade?
What's so special?
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Lei put away the broken silver and took out a few newly developed banknotes. These banknotes have been processed by magic and are difficult for ordinary people to copy.
Zhao Lei held the banknotes and continued: "What if I say that in the near future, I will use these papers to replace silver?"
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva heard this and was confused.
Even if these papers are used instead of money, what does it have to do with her?
What does it have to do with going west?
Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed inwardly and felt a little tired: "Fellow Taoist, I really can't think of what these things have to do with you enslaving mortals. Please tell me clearly."
Zhao Lei put away the banknotes, smiled knowingly, waved his hand, and gestured to Guanyin Bodhisattva to look at the people in the city: "Fellow Taoist, how do you think I, the people of the Divine Tiger Country, live?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at the people below the city: "To be honest with you fellow Taoist, during the long years of my practice, the people of the Shenhu Kingdom are indeed the happiest people I have ever seen."
Zhao Lei burst out laughing: "Hahahaha, what you said is wrong. If this is the case, then what you see is just the surface. Moreover, this is only my first step."
"surface?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva is still in the clouds.
surface?
first step?
Zhao Lei nodded and put his hands behind his back: "Yes, what you saw, fellow Taoist, were ordinary people living with smiles on their faces. This seemed very happy, but this was also the first step I used to confuse them. Fellow Taoist, why not Try to see through to the essence? What are mortals really doing?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned and looked at the people below the city again.
He saw vendors on the street drinking.
There is a waiter in a store attracting customers.
Someone is waiting for customers.
There are vendors congratulating each other, being polite, etc.
Her frown slowly relaxed, and she suddenly discovered something! That is, most people are actually working! Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Zhao Lei with big eyes, as if he wanted to ask whether her guess was correct: "They are all here..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhao Lei nodded and said: "Yes, don't look at the happy faces of these mortals. In fact, they are all working hard and trying to find money. And the reason why they are happy is because I gave them hope. Let them have a path to a happy life.”
Now, Guanyin Bodhisattva was even more confused.
It is not good?
After all, in this world, it is already good to have enough food, not to mention living a happier life?
Zhao Lei didn't let her wait too long, and suddenly smiled politely: "But is the road to a happy life really that easy to lead to?"
Seeing Zhao Lei's treacherous smile, Guanyin Bodhisattva was a little suffocated.
Zhao Lei continued with a smile: "My first step is to give them hope. And the second step is to make the people truly realize how out of reach this happy life is!
If they want to pursue a better and higher-quality life, they must keep working and making money!
Fellow Taoist, take a look there. "
The direction Zhao Lei pointed was a site where houses were being built.
Zhao Lei led the puzzled Guanyin Bodhisattva, looked at the land, and continued: "Those are the latest cement houses launched by me. Whether they are beautiful or practical, the quality is several times higher than the current houses! The price is also It’s doubled several times!
This king will make the people of the entire Shenhu Kingdom form a concept, that is, only by living in such a good cement house can one be considered a superior person! Only then will people respect you!
And as time goes by, the price of these cement houses will only get higher and higher!
If ordinary people want to get this kind of cement house, they can only spend their whole life working and making money!
And all I have to pay is the same land and the same building materials!
Fellow Taoist, please look there again. "
What Zhao Lei showed Guanyin Bodhisattva this time was a clothing store selling clothes.
However, the ones sold in clothing stores are obviously no longer the styles of this era. The fabrics have to be used even more, and the word "Guchi" is sewn on the fabric.
"Before the establishment of the Shenhu Kingdom, the people's pursuit was just to dress warmly. But now? Now it's not just about dressing warmly! I also want everyone to form a concept, that is, to dress well and wear warm clothes. Demei!
We want everyone to fundamentally think that it would be a shame and conspicuous thing to go out without wearing such clothes!
And what does this king need to pay?
Less fabric and just two words sewn on! The price can be increased countless times! "
"Hahahahahaha! And this kind of consumption concept will soon spread throughout the Divine Tiger Kingdom! It will make the mortals have endless desires! In order to pursue a better life, the mortals will have to work hard to make money for this king. !
In the end, even to marry a wife and have children, mortals have to prepare a large amount of wealth to do it!
Hahahahaha!
And what does this king need to pay for?
Just some randomly printed banknotes! Hahahahaha! Fellow Taoist, you say, isn’t this the best way to enslave mortals? ! As long as enough banknotes are given, in the end, mortals will even dare to kill gods for these worthless banknotes! Fellow Taoist, would you still doubt that I am not enslaving them? "
The words fell.
The surrounding environment suddenly darkened as if in response to the atmosphere created by Zhao Lei.
Then thousands of light bulbs in the Divine Tiger Kingdom lit up at the same time!
It was also the first time for Guanyin Bodhisattva to see such a gorgeous scene.
Her expression became a little wonderful.
Zhao Lei on the side continued to introduce: "These are also gadgets made by my king. It's ridiculous. These mortals thought that I created these gadgets to provide them with lighting at night and improve their abilities." The quality of life. As everyone knows, I want everyone to work for me without interruption for twelve hours from now on!
Hahahahaha!
I want everyone to realize that what 007 is is a blessing! "
Although Guanyin Bodhisattva was extremely shocked by Zhao Lei's remarks, he still subconsciously asked: "Zero...zero seven?"
Zhao Lei looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva with a playful look on his face: "I work from Chou hour to noon every day, seven days a week, all year round! I have to let these stupid mortals know that they have this opportunity to work hard for me. The blessings they have cultivated over several lifetimes, hahahahahaha!"
Hear this.
Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't help but take a breath!
Just imagine, if the Buddha told her to let her take care of the mortal world for twelve hours a day without interruption, and give her a little merit as a reward every month, for thousands of years, she would feel overwhelmed just thinking about it!
After Guanyin Bodhisattva heard Zhao Lei's full plan, she was so shocked that she couldn't help but feel chills running down her back.
Zhao Lei has now been engraved in her mind with various labels such as cunning, cunning, and scheming.
And came to a conclusion.
This boy is so terrifying!
hiss---! ! !
Zhao Lei wiped away the tears that made him cry, then calmed down his emotions, and said to Guanyin Bodhisattva with a kind face: "So, fellow Taoist, my great wish to benefit the people has no conflict with your journey to the west, fellow Taoist. Although on the surface, I am benefiting all people, in reality, I am enslaving them.
When the westward travelers come to my kingdom, fellow Taoist, you only need to tell them the truth and let them come forward to rescue the people. By then, Taoist friends will be able to reap a large amount of merit. What do you think? "
Guanyin Bodhisattva took a deep breath.
Ease your shocked emotions a little.
It has to be said that Zhao Lei's plan is comprehensive.
It would not affect her great ambitions, but it could also perfectly help her plan her journey to the west. She really couldn't find any reason to reject Zhao Lei.
After thinking for a moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva regained his calm expression and clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, I would like to thank my fellow Taoist here first."
Zhao Lei also nodded with satisfaction: "Good~"
After understanding the problems of the Divine Tiger Kingdom, Guanyin Bodhisattva sat on her lotus and flew back to Chaoyin Cave in Mount Luojia, Putuo, South China Sea.
Zhao Lei, on his side, summoned the Long Live Fox King, Jade Faced Fox, White Deer and Black Sheep to the palace hall to discuss important matters...
…
royal palace.
In the main hall.
After receiving the summons from Zhao Lei.
Long Live the Fox King, the Jade-faced Fox, the White Deer and the Black Sheep rushed to the main hall in a hurry.
As soon as he stepped into the hall, Long Live Fox King strode towards Zhao Lei in a hurry.
Zhao Lei also stepped forward to greet everyone.
"Wonderful son-in-law! My good son-in-law! How is it? Has Guanyin Bodhisattva left? How is your situation? Has our plan been exposed?"
Long Live the Fox King asked a lot of questions in a eloquent manner.
Zhao Lei didn't know how to answer him, so he could only hold Long Live Fox King's arms and conscientiously comfort him: "Father, don't worry, it's okay. I'll take care of everything."
Long Live the Fox King was stunned.
Even Zhao Lei's cultivation is still very poor.
But Zhao Lei's series of actions after he came out of seclusion, plus his current performance, made the Long Live Fox King instantly feel at ease.
Long Live Fox King Lao Huai gave a comforting smile and then nodded.
Zhao Lei crossed the Long Live Fox King and came to the jade-faced fox.
Look at each other for a moment.
The two sides hugged each other fiercely.
He didn't say anything, but tears flowed from the corners of the jade-faced fox's eyes.
During this time, I was really worried about her.
After hugging her for a while, Zhao Lei let go of her.
The two-meter-tall Zhao Lei wiped the tears from the face of the 1.7-meter-tall jade-faced fox.
At this moment, they are truly a talented man and a beautiful woman, and they are a perfect match.
While wiping his tears, Zhao Lei said with a magnetic voice: "Don't worry, it's okay. I have everything."
The jade-faced fox smiled and nodded.
I was so moved.
Then, past the jade-faced fox, we came to the white deer and black sheep.
"Brother!"
"Brother!"
Without saying anything, Zhao Lei gave each of the two brothers a bear hug.
After letting go of the two people, Zhao Lei looked up and down at the two people with great satisfaction.
During this year of seclusion, White Deer and Black Sheep have also successfully entered the realm of refining Qi. Coupled with the bonus of the Five Thunder Zhengfa, they can be regarded as top-notch existences among the little demons.
"Very good! You two really did not disappoint me, eldest brother!"
After receiving Zhao Lei's approval, White Deer and Black Sheep also said excitedly.
After a little relaxation.
The party finally got down to business.
Zhao Lei told several people present about what happened and his journey to the west, which made several people's reactions repeatedly shocked: "This is what happened. Remember, only a few of us here know about this matter. Absolutely It can’t be revealed!”
Regarding matters related to the overall situation of the Three Realms, Long Live Fox King and others had to nod cautiously.
After agreeing, Long Live the Fox King was filled with emotion again.
He also didn't expect that all the top figures in the three realms would have this attitude.
But it's right to think about it. These top figures have lived for so many Yuanhui, so why do they care about everything?
As for heading west...
In fact, the fact that the world will be destroyed when the Yuanhui ends is not a secret to beings like him, but he did not expect that Guanyin Bodhisattva would be the lucky one selected by those top beings.
I didn’t expect that the other party had laid out the plan so many years ago.
Even the Monkey King is one of their pawns.
No wonder that monkey was able to escape unharmed when he made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace...
After sighing with emotion, Long Live the Fox King looked at Zhao Lei again, his face full of complex expressions. He was very pleased that Zhao Lei, his son-in-law, was very filial and determined to keep him alive.
He felt guilty too.
Because extending his life would cause a lot of trouble.
He is an old guy who has lived for nearly 10,000 years and still brings trouble to the younger generations. He really feels a little sorry.
He began to consider whether to sacrifice himself in exchange for a happy life for Zhao Lei and his daughter.
Long Live the Fox King thought here.
Zhao Lei seemed to have noticed the thoughts of the Long Live Fox King from the side, and interrupted directly: "Father, you don't have to think too much. There is no need to think about what is and is not. The grievances accumulated by those gods and gods for so long are definitely not my father's. You can save it with just one life.
Since they chose to put pressure on Taishang Laojun.
That means your death doesn't actually matter to them.
All they care about is whether their goals will succeed.
Therefore, even if you, my father, choose to sacrifice, as long as your goal is not achieved, those gods and gods will not let you and Yu'er go.
The only thing we can do is to fight them to the end! "
Long Live the Fox King was stunned.
Originally he wanted to say something, but he also understood that what Zhao Lei said made sense.
He no longer refused Zhao Lei's kindness.
But he soon became worried again.
Can their family be able to compete with the immortals and gods?
Zhao Lei seemed to see what he was thinking and comforted him again: "Father, don't worry. With my current qualifications, it can be said that the entire Three Realms are incomparable. As long as you give me a certain amount of time, no one in the Three Realms will be my opponent anymore." . I will definitely be able to protect our family."
Seeing Zhao Lei so determined.
Long Live the Fox King could only nod his head and stop trying to persuade...
