Chapter 292 Are you Zong Er?
After saying goodbye to a few people, Li Hao took Zhuhuo Shen and Xi Yan with him and headed to the Wang family in Yunzhou.
Along the way, I chased the wind and the moon, crossing mountains, rivers and lakes. Even though I was traveling in a straight line, I had to cross six or seven major states in the middle, a distance of nearly a million miles.
But this time, Li Hao had no intention of experiencing the customs and sightseeing along the way. He was just on his way in a hurry.
The God of Candlefire flew all the way, with four hoofs of fireworks piercing the sky. One day later, they arrived at the boundary of Yunzhou.
In Yunzhou, there are many forces and martial arts sects, but the Wang family is behind them. Since the imperial capital deprived them of the military power of Zhenguan, the Wang family's hands and feet have been deeply involved in these martial arts forces, and the sects are used as cover to train troops. If there is a demon that invades Yunzhou. On that day, you will see the monolithic Yunzhou.
Those Jianghu sects who seemed to be stragglers produced armors and weapons that were sophisticated enough to make the demons retreat.
In this regard, it is unclear whether the old man in the imperial capital turned a blind eye.
The God of Candlefire descended and landed outside the Wang family's general's house.
This splendid and majestic Divine General's Mansion is located in the center of Yunzhou City. It seems to be an absolute hegemon. The five words "Amaterasu Divine General's Mansion" are written on it. The golden light is bright and intimidating.
Seeing the demonic aura emanating from the Candlefire God, the guards outside the God's Mansion were startled, but they soon realized what was happening and quickly went in to report.
When the news came out, the palace of General Tianzhao suddenly erupted in shock.
General Haotian, who was millions of miles away, actually came to Yunzhou!
Everyone is extremely curious about this young general who has caused countless turmoils recently. He is too young. He has made great achievements at the age of sixteen, has fought countless battles, and has accomplished the feats that countless military generals dream of.
Just hearing its name makes people feel excited and curious.
The young man's whole body was already filled with a layer of mythical color.
"Really or not, that General Haotian actually came to our Wang family?"
"I heard from my father that he has never seen that general in the court. He has countless honors, but he has never been to the court!"
"Why did he come to us?"
"I heard that I came here for the Minghe River."
"Mian He? That's interesting. Are you here to learn from our Wang family? Are you also interested in the treasures in the treasure house of merit?"
"Well, who wouldn't be greedy for the treasure house of merit and virtue? If it weren't for the treasure house of merit and virtue, I wouldn't even know that there is such a thing as an extreme state in martial arts."
"Let's go and see you soon."
Many of the younger generations of the Wang family were also excited.
Today, Dayu has turned from prosperity to decline, from security to chaos, and the name of Haotian has emerged. In just two years, it has been mentioned so many times that they, the proud young masters of the Divine General's Mansion, have also accepted it. He felt so proud and was extremely curious about the young man.
If the gap between them was not that big, they might be able to compete with each other, but the gap between them and that young man was so huge. Even their grandfathers, uncles and other people who they usually respected were far different from each other in front of that young man, so that their peers Everyone had lost all intention of competing with that young man.
At the same time, the head of the Wang family, Wang Yongzhi, who looked to be in his forties, had already led many of his own generation and powerful people from the Wang family to greet him outside the house.
Although this battle was a bit grand, Wang Yongzhi was a man with a keen mind. From this Buddhist incident, he could see that the young man was not simple, even terrifying, and was not someone the Wang family could be proud of.
Soon, at the door of the General's Mansion, everyone saw the young man sitting on the back of the Candle God covered in flames.
They saw that the young man was fair and handsome, with dark eyes that were as penetrating as bright jade. However, he was not as arrogant and arrogant as they imagined. Instead, he was restrained and deep, with a feeling of loneliness and elegance like sitting alone on the top of an empty mountain.
Wang Yongzhi's eyes became solemn, but a smile appeared on his face, and he cupped his hands and said: "Your Excellency must be General Haotian. I have never met him, but I have admired his name for a long time and it is like thunder in my ears!"
"Master Wang?"
Li Hao saw that the other party was standing in the middle to show respect, so he jumped off the back of the majestic and sturdy miniature prototype of the Candlefire God and gave a slight salute.
When the Candle Fire God waited for him to jump down, he turned into a ball of flame and walked out of the fire like a young man, standing behind Li Hao with cold eyes.
Next to Wang Yongzhi, the two old men from the Wang family had serious eyes and a chill in their hearts.
Although there had been rumors for a long time, I was still shocked when I saw with my own eyes that the master of the Taixu Realm was surrendered so obediently by Li Hao.
Since the battle in Liangzhou, this master of the Taixu Realm has revealed his strength, but he still exists in the Half-Way Realm.
He was one of the top combat powers in the palaces of all the great generals, but now he was being sat on his crotch by that young man, using him as a mount.
"I've met General Haotian."
Many powerful people in the Wang family also bowed their hands to Li Hao and were extremely polite.
After all, in terms of merit and title, although they are a lot older, they are several heads shorter than this young man.
"General Haotian, please."
Wang Yongzhi warmly invited Li Hao, and everyone else also showed a humble smile that was rare in the past.
Although they were surprised when they first learned that Li Hao had killed the Buddha, it was not enough to make them so humble and flattering. However, as the matter developed, second-hand detailed information was passed back, and a secret report came from the undercover agent who was placed among the Buddhist disciples. , the Buddha Lord was suspected to have been killed by Li Hao after being promoted to the realm of hearing the Tao.
This news is a bit horrifying.
After all, the strength originally displayed by Lord Buddha was always in the Taiping Dao realm.
Although this could intimidate all parties, compared with the Wang family's many years of savings and the fact that there were a group of Wang family monsters who entered the Immortal Sect thousands of years ago, although they were polite to the Buddha Lord, they were not in awe.
There is also a member of the Wang family in the Taiping Dao realm.
All the great generals' mansions basically have trump cards that can fight against the Taiping Dao realm.
Except for Li Tianzong, who fell in Longcheng decades ago, Li Muchiu rose up later. Although he was only in the half-step realm, he could still fight hard in the Tao realm with the Tao realm of Invincible Fist.
If you include those monsters from the Immortal Sect, they will definitely not be far behind if they return in the future.
But it's different in the Wen Dao realm. This person is already considered the strongest person under the saint.
The real person from the Qian Dao Palace made the demons from all directions dare not act rashly, because the power he displayed on the surface was already in the Hearing Dao realm.
And no one has ever seen him attack with all his strength. No one knows how many hidden abilities he has.
Now, Li Hao can kill the Buddha, and his own strength is extremely terrifying. His Majesty also issued an edict to favor him, exposing all kinds of royal background. The reason behind this is even more frightening to think about, and he is in awe of this young man.
Arrive at the main hall of the Wang Family Hall.
Li Hao exchanged a few pleasantries and asked impatiently: "Master Wang, you said earlier that you had found the soul of Mr. Feng Boping?"
Hearing Li Haotian's name for Feng Boping, Wang Yongzhi thought about how the other party killed the Buddha in anger and said with emotion: "General Haotian, don't worry, your majesty has already told me that the thief Sheng’s soul may be incomplete and his obsession is not deep, and he is currently trapped in a river of death at the level of the underworld.”
"When we found it, we had already asked my second uncle Wang Zhendong to try to pass the customs in person."
Underworld level?
Li Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was not at the Youdu level.
I had passed Dragon City Minghe before, but I almost died.
Even if he now has the strength of the Taiping Dao realm, he can't say that he is sure that he can pass other Youdu-level Minghe. After all, the rules of each Youdu-level Minghe are different.
Although Dao Domain can suppress the rules, even if you ignore the rules of Youdu-level Minghe, if you can't find a way, you can only destroy Minghe instead of clearing the level.
"Can you let me try it too?"
Li Hao asked.
Although the Netherworld-level Death River is relatively easy, clearing the level and suppressing it are two different things. What matters is the method.
Although Li Hao is not sure about passing the level, he might be able to do it after trying a few more times.
As long as the Ming River is not destroyed and disappears, repeated attempts can be made to conquer it.
"you?"
Hearing Li Hao's words, Wang Yongzhi was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, but as expected, he smiled and said:
"General Haotian, don't you trust our Wang family? Don't worry, we will never pretend. Although the Thief Saint has a bad reputation, our Wang family does not hate him. After all, he has helped us solve many deaths in the past. "
"Um?"
Li Hao looked at his calm smile and was slightly startled. He suddenly remembered that he had seen Feng Lao's merits when he first entered Minghe and checked the merit list.
Over 3,000 points, more than 30 people ranked.
And the Sword Master in the Sword Cottage was only eighty or ninety years old. He killed Mianhe at that time, but there was no reward. It was purely for love.
"Do you know his name?"
Li Hao said in surprise.
"Don't leave a trace, right? As the saying goes, thieves don't steal, thieves don't leave names, thieves don't leave names, saints don't leave traces, we already knew it was him."
Wang Yongzhi smiled, and then sighed softly: "Good and evil can't be explained clearly in a few words. Although the Thief Saint also visited our Wang family, but he stole it, we can only admit that we can't take care of it well. By the way, He also dug out some moths, hehe, I don’t care about anything else. Anyway, if he can be ranked in the top fifty on the merit list, our Wang family will respect him as a man. "
Li Hao glanced at him, but he didn't expect that the head of the Wang family was open-minded.
Immediately, I thought of the original list of merits and deeds. Among the top thirty, there were nearly twenty people named Wang.
This is an important task entrusted by the imperial court, and it is also the wall of merit of the Wang family.
"But it's good now. Those sword masters and sword masters have all killed the first fifty. Once the treasure house of merit comes out, Minghe is not a disaster, but a treasure, haha."
Wang Yongzhi laughed, but there was a bit of sarcasm in his eyes.
In the past, when there was no treasure house of merit, those names of sword masters and sword masters were basically ranked at the bottom, and some were not even on the list at all.
Cleaning up the dead river? If you have this time, you might as well meditate and practice.
Even if he had to take action, he would go to the border to slay demons.
It's also a hard job, but you can also get meritorious service and a title by slaying demons.
The Minghe River is mysterious and complicated, and there are no good things to say about it. It’s not known what kind of accidents will happen inside.
Killing demons is much easier.
In the past, the Wang family personally came to visit these powerful people, hoping that they could help share some of the pressure of high-level Qianhe. They were rewarded with heavy treasures, but no one was willing to pay attention. Even if they were, it would be a lion's mouth, making them gnash their teeth.
Now it's the other way around.
It is precisely because they have received countless cold looks and supercilious glances that they have no prejudice against the Thieving Saint.
Reputation can deceive people, but actions cannot.
Everyone has their own story.
Unless the turmoil at that time calms down, we will know that the treasure house of merit will be opened in the future and will be released in advance.
But this is not even possible.
After all, it takes one hundred thousand merits to open the treasure house of merits. Even the Wang family, who have studied the dead river for hundreds of years, don't know.
"With my second uncle taking action, General Haotian can rest assured that if it doesn't work once, it can be done two or three times. Now these Qianhe will not use means of destruction."
Wang Yongzhi said to Li Hao.
If you destroy it, it will disappear. The merit of clearing the customs is a hundred times. Now the Ming River, large and small, has become a scarce resource. In the past, no one asked for help to destroy the Ming River. Now, it is a crime to secretly destroy the Ming River. This is the change of the times.
"It's okay. There is strength in numbers. I can try it too."
Li Hao said that the Dead River can corrode the soul, and the longer it stays in it, the more dangerous it becomes. Li Hao is worried that if he delays rescuing Feng Lao's soul for too long, he will also face the risk of dissipating.
"General Haotian, this Minghe is not like slaying demons. It doesn't necessarily mean you can pass it because of your high level. It mostly depends on your experience and brains."
Next to him, an old man said calmly.
He is Wang Zhenping, one of the elders of the Wang family, and the father of Wang Xiangru.
He remembered all the things his daughter had said back to her parents' family, and coupled with the complaints from his grandchildren, he didn't have a good impression of the young man in front of him.
However, he also knows that this young man is not what he used to be. He is extremely powerful and has great military exploits, so he will not take the initiative to cause trouble.
What I said now is also true, and there is no fault in it.
"Yes, General Haotian, although you are powerful, the Minghe River is very dangerous."
After hearing this, the others also began to persuade him, but their expressions were sincere.
Although he is extremely powerful, he is still too young after all. Dying in the river and killing demons are two different things, and they are much more difficult than marching and fighting.
"It doesn't matter, let General Haotian try it. Has General Haotian crossed the Ming River before?"
Wang Yongzhi shook his head and did not stop him. He could see that Li Hao had deep feelings for the thief saint, otherwise he would not have killed the Buddha in anger. He knew that he could not persuade him. After all, he would go all the way. There was no way he was here to greet them.
"I've entered once or twice." Li Hao said.
"General Haotian is also kind-hearted."
Wang Yongzhi couldn't help but smile and had a good impression of Li Hao:
"Before entering the Ming River, I still need to make it clear to General Haotian about the situation of the Ming River. You should understand it first."
"good."
Li Hao nodded. The Wang family has been studying Minghe for hundreds of years, and their understanding of Minghe is always better than his.
Wang Yongzhi didn't hesitate. Naturally, it was impossible to explain the secrets of Mianhe in one breath. He only told some of the more obscure details and rules to prevent Li Hao from causing unknown dangers inside.
After finishing speaking, he took Li Hao out of the main hall of the hall.
Seeing that Li Hao insisted on doing this, the others did not try to persuade him. After all, it was not a bad thing to go and learn more. Besides, Minghe had merits and virtues. His majesty would surely give the general the resources of Minghe in the future.
That merit can be exchanged for extreme cultivation and various states of mind in the treasure house of merit, which is very precious.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel envious, regretful and sighing in their hearts.
If he relied on the things in the treasure house of merit, this young man would probably have to leap even higher.
As Li Hao followed Wang Yongzhi and others out of the main hall of the hall, many of the younger generations of the Wang family gathered outside became lively.
Some people looked down from a high altitude with their souls and looked at it curiously.
"That's General Haotian? He looks so relaxed talking to the family master and the others."
"Yes, Grandpa Zhenping is here too. He is not afraid at all. My legs tremble in front of Grandpa Zhenping."
"Bastard, you think General Haotian is just like us? I'm afraid you don't know that a strong man like Grandpa Zhenping is not strong enough to kill him."
"Hush, Grandpa Zhenping is staring at you."
"Miss, look, that's General Haotian, one of the two people you most want to see, and now you finally meet him."
Outside the crowd, a woman who looked like clear frost and soft mist looked quietly, with the maid beside her holding an umbrella for her.
"General Haotian is so young. I wonder what Mr. Zhong Er looks like. He must be a bad old man, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense. You haven't seen it before." The woman frowned and scolded lightly.
The maid smiled, but was not afraid. She was obviously used to playing with her young lady.
Not long after, Wang Yongzhi and others took Li Hao to a secret place in the Tianzhao Divine General's Mansion. The many young Wang family members who were watching from a distance outside were also isolated in the distance and did not approach rashly. This is the Wang family. This important place should not be set foot lightly.
In front of you is a mountain, which seems to be hollowed out and extremely empty and vast.
The mountain covered the ground like a pointed cap, and a beam of light shone down from the top of the mountain and landed on a dark sculpture.
"This is Ksitigarbha Buddha."
Wang Yongzhi brought Li Hao here and said: "This strange object was brought out from a place in the Ming River by a long-standing ancestor of my Wang family. Later, we studied and explored its wonderful use. As long as the clay from the Landlord Temple outside the Ming River is used, If it is fed into the mouth of Ksitigarbha Buddha, it will be directly connected to the Death River through Ksitigarbha Buddha.”
"That is to say, from here we can enter all the Ming Rivers under the jurisdiction of our royal family."
Although this Ksitigarbha Buddha is strange and strange, it is not a big secret and has been reported to His Majesty a long time ago.
Li Hao was a little surprised. He had long thought that the origin of Mianhe was extremely mysterious, but he didn't expect that there was such a strange object.
"If General Haotian had crossed the Minghe River first, he must have been on the Minghe River roster, right?"
Wang Yongzhi smiled at Li Hao and said: "You only need to enter from here. Select the Ming River you want to enter. There will be a map of the Ming River on it. I will tell you which one it is."
Li Hao nodded, and then followed Wang Yongzhi's instructions and came to stand in front of the half-human-tall Ksitigarbha Buddha.
Ksitigarbha Buddha looks kind-hearted, but in the light and shadow, there is something strange about it, and his narrowed eyes seem to be sneering.
Golden light appeared in Li Hao's palm, and the Death River gold paper flew out.
Then, Ksitigarbha Buddha's body also glowed with golden light, and a booklet flew out, turning the pages continuously.
Li Hao's gold paper was attracted and folded into the book. Not long after, his identity seemed to be confirmed, and the gold paper flew out of the book and returned to Li Hao.
Wang Yongzhi could see clearly from the side that the golden paper floating in front of Li Hao recorded Li Hao's death information.
Name, as well as the merits and deeds of the deceased, events, etc.
When he saw the two simple fonts on the gold paper, Wang Yongzhi was stunned and was shocked: "Are you Chong Er?!"
