Chapter 984 Tathagata's Curse
Senior Brother Tathagata revealed a lot of information, but guarded the most important part and did not say it.
Li Shaojun needs to find Wuchao if he wants to obtain the secret place where his ancestor lived in seclusion, and the same goes for Zhang Xuezhou if he wants to obtain information about the secret place of Yin and Yang.
"You and Wuchao are both suspected of fighting against the imperial court, and we are also trying to fight against the imperial court by helping you. The risks are too high!"
After thinking for more than ten seconds, Zhang Xuezhou responded.
"The current benefits are not enough to balance the risks," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"Yes, you are right," Li Shaojun quickly agreed: "You are so clueless about these things. Even if we get accurate information, it will be of no use. It is too difficult to achieve!"
The two of them tacitly put pressure on Brother Tathagata.
But things are exactly as they said. Even if Brother Tathagata tells Zhang Xuezhou the secret, or asks Wu Chao to assist Li Shaojun, there are too many uncertainties in it, and it is extremely difficult to obtain real benefits.
"Why don't you think about the real benefits?" Zhang Xuezhou said: "As for this Holy Land of Yin and Yang, Li Shaojun's ancestor, we can just talk about it!"
"Yes, it's fine just chatting like this, but it's impossible to pay for it," Li Shaojun shouted.
"Master, you are just talking empty words now. We are taking the risk of being noticed by guests from the Huainan Palace to drive you away from here," Zhang Xuezhou said.
Zhang Xuezhou and Li Shaojun sang together, and Rong Tianding nodded repeatedly. He glanced at Senior Brother Tathagata from time to time, indicating that in the eyes of a fair person like himself, Senior Brother Tathagata was unkind.
“It’s not completely empty talk, at least my staff is bitten by your insect.” Senior Brother Tathagata sighed: “If you bite it any more, it will become a piece of rotten wood that cannot be used!”
“How can a person like you argue with a bug?” Zhang Xuezhou said: “If this bug hadn’t flown out to find food, we would have run away on horseback!”
"Master, please don't say that you are repaying a bug." Li Shaojun echoed: "No matter how much this little thing chews on the wood, it will be useless. I will kill it with one slap!"
"Yes! It makes sense." Rong Tianding whispered in agreement.
The four people were riding two horses, and the speed was not too fast, so communication was not a problem.
Zhang Xuezhou was also lucky that it was dark at this time, otherwise he would have run as far as he could to avoid being tainted by the Huainan Palace.
As he continued to move, he could still see little bits of fire in the mountains and forests in the distance.
If the other party was not a hunter, the person near the fire was most likely a senior monk from the Huainan Palace.
"Master, if you have something to say, please tell us earlier, lest we notice the risk and run away." Zhang Xuezhou whispered: "Don't talk about finding someone for you, even if we can take you to escape, it is considered a risky activity. It's already Very loyal!”
“That’s right, I am so loyal!” I took you underground before, and after taking a big risk, I gained nothing." Li Shaojun said depressedly: "What do you think the kind of news you told me is of use?"
If not? With Zhang Xuezhou, he was almost still wandering around in the empty talk of Senior Brother Tathagata.
When Zhang Xuezhou spoke repeatedly, he realized that his ability to ask for money was not as good as the other party's.
Brother Tathagata unknowingly manipulated him, but Zhang Xuezhou was unwilling to be manipulated and worked in vain, and repeatedly fought back.
Li Shaojun realized this kind of thing belatedly. As a master of Tai Chi, Senior Brother Tathagata must also know.
Even though Zhang Xuezhou is inferior to Senior Brother Tathagata in this aspect, they are the ones who currently have the advantage, not Senior Brother Tathagata who was injured and lost his junior brother.
“I have been led by this kind of person for so long!”
Li Shaojun thought about it for a long time. He even suspected that his lack of IQ caused him to lose the initiative.
It was obvious that he had taken the initiative, but he was ignorant and let Brother Tathagata lead the way.
"Donor, you..."
While Li Shaojun was undergoing deep self-reflection, he heard Brother Tathagata speaking to Zhang Xuezhou in a low voice, with a slight sense of strangeness in his voice.
This made him raise his head, and Zhang Xuezhou then spoke up and scolded him.
Li Shaojun felt his body sway, and then he rolled off the horse and landed on the ground.
"Well, you thief monk, you failed to ask for help, and you actually used a method to confuse our minds!" Zhang Xuezhou's scolding made Li Shaojun come back to his senses. He ignored the pain and quickly rolled away a few steps away, using his magic skills. The power gathered on the tip of his toes, and whenever anything unusual happened, he would fly into the air and escape.
“Donor, the young monk lost his etiquette in a hurry!”
Li Shaojun rolled to the ground, and Brother Tathagata was not much better.
Compared with Li Shaojun's preparation to escape, Brother Tathagata chose to surrender directly in pain.
This is his extremely secretive method, which can induce others to a certain extent. Those with weak cultivation can even obey his words and induce any abnormality in a short period of time.
This non-violent method was almost silent when released, but in a short period of time, it was noticed by Zhang Xuezhou and even destroyed.
The backlash caused by breaking the law made Brother Tathagata feel as if his head had been hammered hard.
But regardless of the pain in his body and head, he quickly chose to apologize.
"Send me out of this realm, away from the great monks nearby, and I will immediately tell you about the secret land of Yin and Yang!"
He could no longer care about Wuchao at this moment. Whenever Zhang Xuezhou yelled or Zhang Xuezhou ran away on horseback, he would be unlucky.
If he had the strength to subdue Zhang Xuezhou, Li Shaojun and others before, now he has a headache and will definitely lose strength in a short time.
“I have been to the Holy Land of Xieluochuan, the Holy Land of Yiji River, the Secret Land of Immortal Court, and the Holy Land of Kunlun. I have even walked through your Lingshan Mountain. I even met you "Our great leader," Zhang Xuezhou said, "You really don't shed tears until you see the coffin. I really don't care about the Holy Land of Yin and Yang!"
“The leader once said that the Holy Land of Yin and Yang was tampered with by Emperor Qin, making it extremely dangerous and difficult to enter. It is possible that only the emperor followed Emperor Qin’s example and held a Zen ceremony in Mount Tai to be able to enter. That Holy Land has not been entered for hundreds of years. You must be full of spiritual energy and abundant opportunities!”
Seeing Zhang Xuezhou, Rong Tianding, and Li Shaojun leaving together, Senior Brother Tathagata didn't mention anything else and quickly spit out the relevant information.
If Zhang Xuezhou had no desire, the other party would definitely turn around and leave without saying a word at all.
For Zhang Xuezhou to speak again and again, Brother Tathagata knew very well that the other party was still hanging on to him.
But it is indeed no longer his home court, and it will be difficult for him to influence Zhang Xuezhou like he did with Li Shaojun.
He couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart.
The more you calculate, the more you will lose.
Had he spoken earlier about the opportunity, perhaps Zhang Xuezhou would have sent him out of this territory out of kindness.
But now, not only was he unable to get these people to help find Wuchao, he also had to pay other prices for leaving here.
Senior Brother Tathagata looked at the staff and felt that the staff in his hand was not safe and would definitely be asked by Zhang Xuezhou to feed the worms.
He reluctantly raised his hand and slightly raised the dragon-subduing wooden staff, waiting for Zhang Xuezhou to speak.
"I want the kind of spell you just used against my soul!"
What Brother Tathagata never expected was that Zhang Xuezhou did not directly ask for the staff, but pointed at the spell he used.
This made Brother Tathagata feel cold.
Yizhehe Holy Land is good at cursing and killing, but the Western religion also has cursing, and the level of cursing is not low.
"I was lucky enough to escape from your curse, but I can't guard against you every time. Only by knowing your curse can I get along with you with confidence!"
Zhang Xuezhou flicked his sleeve, and the demon in his sleeve was immediately tied to the portrait of Saint Kong. Even if he wanted to interrupt, he couldn't say a word.
Zhang Xuezhou must say that Brother Tathagata's incantation is too silent, and it is difficult to detect the impact.
If the painting demon hadn’t reminded him, he wouldn’t have even known that he had been cursed.
