In the Xia Dynasty Palace, in a large but nameless garden, a group of masters were drinking wine, admiring the moon, and chatting about the world.
Of course, Tao Shushan is also included, or rather, Tao Shushan is the protagonist among the masters.
Tao Shushan received good hospitality from the Xia Dynasty.
Even if the transaction regarding the rare objects did not go very smoothly, the two parties could still be considered harmonious and prosperous.
Especially Tao Shushan himself was left in the palace.
Not everyone could stay in this place. Xia Chao treated him so well, on the one hand, to show how much he valued him, and on the other hand, of course, because he could look at him better in this way.
Except for Gu Dan and a few others, all the other grandmasters of the Xia Dynasty gathered around Tao Shushan and basically ate and lived with him.
It is simply impossible to do something stupid under the noses of so many masters.
Of course, this is not a prison sentence after all, and the rest of the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations can still move about 'freely'.
The Chamber of Commerce of All Nations is not a small one. Since they have to travel a long distance, various supplies and transactions must still exist. They cannot use rare treasures as food, let alone eat clouds and drink dew.
Of course, the Xia Dynasty cannot afford the supplies needed by the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations, but in order not to show an aggressive attitude, it is better to be more liberal and let him go. After all, if the Grandmaster stays here, how much trouble can he cause? Woolen cloth?
It was already dark at this time, but the moonlight was getting brighter and brighter.
In a pavilion in the garden, several masters were sitting around a stone table. There were no candles or lanterns around them. From the perspective of the masters, anything other than complete darkness was nothing.
"The bright moon is bright and clear, and the stars are receding. The moonlight is so beautiful tonight that even the stars have to stay out of the way."
Zou Dan held the flask and poured himself a glass of wine. Under the moonlight, the ripples of the wine also showed silvery waves, one wave after another, and finally hit the wall and returned, forming a small whirlpool.
After staring at the contents in the cup for a moment, Zou Dan drank it all in one gulp, and then said: "The news of the fairy court on earth, is it not a bright moon blooming in the human world? Even the master will be eclipsed, and you and I are in this world. Where should we go from here?”
Grandmasters will basically never talk about age or seniority. Unless they have had a good relationship before, otherwise they are all friends with equals. There is no need to be restrained. No one can overpower the other, so there is no need to worry about anything when talking. .
"Brother Zou's words are very much in line with my wishes."
As the saying goes, one knows the elegant meaning after hearing a string song. As soon as Zou Dan opened his mouth, Zhuang Sheng already knew what he meant. He immediately took over Zou Dan's words and said, "But there is something wrong with this statement.
No matter how the moonlight shines, those who are closer will always be stained with more light and can see more clearly. Although those of us are lucky enough to be exposed to some moonlight, how can we compare with our friends who have rushed from the land of the bright moon? "
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Tao Shushan.
The bright moon is the fairy court, and the stars are the masters.
When the bright moon shines, the stars lose their color.
Naturally, he wanted to know whether Haoyue was a guiding light in the darkness.
"Ha ha."
Tao Shushan chuckled twice. Since they were elegant, he naturally opened his mouth and said, "The bright moon is naturally full of light. However, all things are ignorant. Even if they are lucky enough to be illuminated by the moonlight, they are still groggy, confused, and everything is silent." "
He pointed in all directions. Apart from this pavilion, there was no one to be seen, and there was no sound of roosters crowing or dogs barking - this was the palace of the Xia Dynasty!
Everything seemed so quiet and ethereal, with only the voices of a few people floating around, gradually disappearing in the wind.
"The road to immortality is difficult, but knowing the end point, how many people can climb up?"
Tao Shushan shrugged slightly, with a look of loneliness on his face, "Even if you see the same thing under the same sky, everyone's perception is different. I look at the bright moon, but there is only the bright moon. If the bright moon What if it gets darker too?"
There were clouds floating in the sky, covering the moonlight.
The bright moonlight disappeared in an instant.
"oh?"
This time, Qing Pingzi's heart moved and he asked, "Could it be that there is also a problem in the Immortal Court?"
"It's not a big deal."
Tao Shushan said: "Without him, shallow water cannot raise dragons. There are five sources of spiritual energy, but after all, the time in this world is short. You and I are lucky enough to see the bright light, but in the end we cannot see the true appearance of the bright moon.
Even if one day, the moonlight can condense into a full moon, we have returned to the land of darkness and do nothing! "
This sentence is said sincerely.
If you just rely on aura to break through the realms, to what extent do you have the talent to be a monster?
The vast majority of people spend their entire lives just taking a few steps on the path to immortality.
"Being able to see the bright light is already a blessing in this life. Being able to have the opportunity to bathe in the bright light, what else can you ask for?"
"What I'm afraid of is seeing the light but not being able to take a step forward."
The two masters, who had been sitting in the corner, pouring themselves a drink and never said anything, spoke together, with sour faces.
It takes ten years to reach the Buzhou Mountains.
Ten years!
Their deadline is no longer allowed.
Although they live at the same time, although they are the same master, although they drink together at this time, and although they see hope together, they have no future.
A traveler walking in the desert finally learned the news about the oasis. Unfortunately, he was destined not to reach it until his death.
Compared to people who still have the opportunity to climb, the two of them are more than miserable.
Once the two of them opened their mouths, it was really difficult to continue talking about this topic.
After all, the more beautiful and sublime the immortal way is, the more regret it will make them.
Talking about these things in front of the two of them was like taking a knife to the heart.
There are times when a grandmaster is powerless!
Tao Shushan said tactfully: "The world is huge, and any strange thing can happen. Who could have thought at the beginning that Zhoushan Mountain, connected to the sky and the earth, would be crushed by a meteor falling from the sky, and instead it would become a fairy in the world?"
As long as you are alive, there is always a chance. "
This chicken soup is pretty good, but the two grandmasters didn't even mention it with any interest.
Miracles are called miracles because they are difficult to happen.
You can't secretly pray for another night star to fall on the Xia Dynasty, right?
I'm afraid I won't be torn alive right away.
"Yes, there is always a chance to live, but there are always people who can't wait to die."
While he was talking, a voice floated from the distance.
The dark clouds were pushed away by the wind, and the man stepped on the dark ground. Every time he took a step forward, the moonlight spread forward an inch. The silver moon was bright and the moonlight filled the sky, as if it was paved for him.
Dressed in green clothes and falling into the world, the bright moon in the sky has become a foil.
But what he said was not very auspicious.
All the grandmasters looked at him. After seeing Gu Dan, the grandmasters of the Xia Dynasty all chose to remain silent.
Because Gu Dan was holding two people in his hands and walking towards here step by step, his cold eyes fell on Tao Shushan, and his cold voice contained unforgivable murderous intent.
Behind Gu Dan, Qin Lisheng, who was covered in blood, and Xun Ke, who had a hole in his chest, also gradually walked over.
When he saw these three people, Tao Shushan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth even though he hid it well. Then he looked at the two people in Gu Dan's hands with feigned surprise and asked curiously: "How dare any little thief dare to Breaking into the Xia Dynasty Palace at night?"
"This is no small thief."
Gu Dan threw the two corpses to the ground casually, "After all, whoever dares to dig up Mo Qiu and Ji Lao's graves, how can they be little thieves?"
"What?!"
As soon as these words came out, the Xia Dynasty grandmasters who were still calm in the pavilion jumped up one after another, and their expressions changed drastically.
If he hadn't had many years of qi-nurturing skills, he would probably be shocked.
Who thinks that the nine tribes are living a good life and want to add some soil to their graves? !
How hard it must have been to dig Mo Qiu and Ji Lao's graves at the same time?
You dig Lao Ji and you can barely understand that there are really a lot of funerary objects in there.
But you dare to dig in Moqiu?
You're tired of living, aren't you?
The man who forced all four countries to surrender hurriedly and the emperor abdicated the throne last time is still here!
Even if he doesn't need to take action, the Mo family is not easy to mess with!
"Is this happening?"
Tao Shushan's face was full of surprise. He didn't seem to be hypocritical at all. It seemed that everything really had nothing to do with him. "I wonder where the thief is so bold?"
"Master Tao, it's time now, so there's no need to pretend anymore, right?"
Gu Dan was not interested in chirping and playing tricks with him, and simply said: "How many melting talismans do you still have? You might as well take them out and let me learn more about them."
Hearing the words "Rongzongfu", Tao Shushan's eyes narrowed, but his expression remained unchanged. He just shouted: "It's unfair! I am here, how can this matter have anything to do with me? All the masters can do whatever they want. certificate!
If you have doubts about our Chamber of Commerce of All Nations, I can also summon all the members of the Chamber of Commerce for your inspection. If there is one person missing, I will ask for your question! "
He said it simply and neatly, but he was not surprised at all changes.
However, this is the home court of Xia Dynasty.
The grand masters of the Xia Dynasty, no matter whether they were close to him or not, now deeply understood that it would be useless no matter how good the immortal way was if they offended another person miserably.
They simply surrounded Tao Shushan, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he could not fly without wings.
Even if they are both Grandmasters and surrounded by so many Grandmasters, there is only one word for death.
"What do you mean by this?"
Tao Shushan's expression changed at this time, but his face was still full of grievance and disbelief, "Could it be that the Xia Dynasty thought that our Chamber of Commerce of All Nations had countless treasures, so it wanted to plunder it? Although we are in business, we are good to others, but We can’t just let him get beaten up and suffer!”
"At this time, you still want to support yourself? There are so many living spiritual materials, don't you want them?"
Gu Dan asked coldly.
It wasn't until the word "spiritual material" came out of his mouth that Tao Shushan was finally sure.
The two dead masters of the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations have revealed everything!
In order to deceive others, the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations secretly used spiritual materials to replace the skeletons of their masters. Even if an outsider overheard, they would only mistakenly think they were looking for rare treasures.
This time, Tao Shushan finally put away his false expression, his face suddenly turned cold, and he no longer had the smiley and kind look before, and he said fiercely: "How dare the two of them speak out, so they are not afraid of future generations in the family?" There is no way to survive!”
"Death is not scary. What's scary is that you can't die even if you want to."
Gu Dan raised his brows slightly and said, "Your Excellency's mouth seems to be tougher than the two of them. I wonder if it will be the same later."
"Now that the news has been revealed, I admit defeat."
Tao Shushan said coldly: "How about I give each of you a rare treasure, plus a map to the Buzhou Mountains, and let us leave?"
"ha."
Even Gu Dan laughed angrily at Tao Shushan's shamelessness.
The grave was digged, but after the incident was revealed, he still wanted to buy his life.
I really want you to take advantage of any good thing!
"Should I say that you are wishful thinking, or should I say that you are insane? Or does the businessman really think that anything can be traded?"
Gu Dan said.
"snort."
Tao Shushan snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and the Shang token appeared in his right hand. He flicked his left hand again, and held five Melting Zong Talisman together.
After the two things were revealed, Tao Shushan seemed to have great confidence, and even his back was straight, as if he had found a supporter, "You killed my two masters of the Wanguo Chamber of Commerce, I can forget the blame and am willing to apologize. If If you don’t know what to do, the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations is not someone to be trifled with!”
Perhaps to verify what he said, the aura that he had stirred up once again rose up on the token with the word "Shang".
The aura of surpassing the master enveloped him, making the faces of the masters surrounding him turn slightly pale.
Just because this time, the aura on it seemed extremely aggressive.
Like a pack of wolves meeting a tiger!
Even the power of the Grandmaster, which they had always trusted, seemed a little small in front of that power.
That was a power far away from the realm, and it was no longer a weight that the Grandmaster could bear.
What's more, this is the palace of the Xia Dynasty, so it's really not suitable for a big fight.
However, it is not the turn of these masters to express their opinions here.
Faced with Tao Shushan's coercion, Gu Dan moved forward without saying a word.
"You, don't be ungrateful!"
Tao Shushan frowned.
He was unwilling to activate the power in the token unless it was absolutely necessary.
However, Gu Dan ignored him at all and just walked towards him simply and unhurriedly.
"Two rare treasures for each grandmaster. This is my bottom line. Don't be aggressive!"
Tao Shushan gritted his teeth and said.
Gu Dan looked at him without any fluctuation in his eyes, as if he were looking at a dead person.
Perhaps it was because he had done so much trading of dead people that Tao Shushan felt that everything could be traded.
When the distance between the two people was less than ten steps, Tao Shushan cursed angrily: "I don't know what is good or bad!"
In his left hand, a Melting Sect Talisman burned instantly.
A beam of light struck Gu Dan's front door at a speed that even a master could not match.
However, before it could reach Gu Dan, a white shield with green light blocked it all.
Like boiling water touching solid ice, a stinging sound was heard instantly.
But it didn't last long at all, and everything disappeared again.
The zhenqi shield blocking Gu Dan's body looked unscathed.
The Rong Zong Talisman, which specializes in destroying the Grandmaster's body-protecting Qi, is as ridiculous as trying to lift Mount Tai with a small stick in front of Gu Dan's Qi.
After condensing the five internal organs, Gu Dan has devoted himself to practicing for nearly forty years. He is no longer something that ordinary masters can imagine.
He just didn't break through again, he didn't stay where he was.
"How can it be?!"
Tao Shushan's face changed drastically after witnessing the "invalidation" of the Rong Zong Talisman with his own eyes.
He was even more surprised than when Gu Dan revealed the true face of the World Chamber of Commerce.
The Melting Talisman is a weapon specially designed to deal with the Grandmaster!
The Chamber of Commerce of All Nations has traveled to so many countries, and has secretly killed many masters with this object, and it has never failed!
Even if the Grandmaster's life is not taken immediately, his combat power will be greatly damaged.
Tao Shushan had never seen a being like this, who was like a gentle breeze blowing on his face, taking a blow from the Rong Zong Talisman like a normal person.
He even couldn't help but wonder if his Rong Zong Talisman was a fake or defective product.
"If only to this extent."
Gu Dan said: "Now you have killed yourself and found a happy ending."
"Go to hell!"
Tao Shushan still refuses to give up. He is also a master. His advantage is that he has the Rong Zong Talisman and the Shang Character Token in his hand. Once the Rong Zong Talisman fails, it means that a big help is missing, which will bring disaster and disaster.
At that moment, two more melting sect talismans spontaneously ignited without wind. Tao Shushan's eyes widened, refusing to miss anything.
The familiar five-color beam bloomed and hit the zhenqi shield in front of Gu Dan.
A tooth-piercing hiss sounded in the air, like poison corroding the ground.
This time Tao Shushan saw clearly that the Melting Zong Talisman was not ineffective. It did pry open some of Gu Dan's true energy, but that little bit of true energy collapsed, and there was still a long way to go before breaking the true energy shield. What a huge distance!
As for the special effect of disrupting the opponent's true energy movement, it is even more nonsense. If the defense is not broken, how can it disrupt the true energy movement?
This unprecedented and unimagined scene completely shattered his illusions.
If you walk too much at night, you will always bump into ghosts!
In an instant, Gu Dan was only five steps away from him.
This distance is within reach for the Grandmaster.
At that moment, Tao Shushan's right hand could not help but tighten the Shang token in his hand, and said in a cold voice: "If you dare to take another step forward, I will let you see the power above the master!"
Faced with his threat, Gu Dan didn't even hesitate at all. He took a step forward and walked forward.
Suddenly, the Shang token in Tao Shushan's hand became full of aura!
The pressure, which is enough to make the Grand Master feel ashamed, is about to come out!
