Chapter 3358 Draw Inferences From One Instance
"So that's what happened."
Qi Bai and Cai Lin were in awe after listening to the whole process, and saluted Zhou Shu and others together.
Zhou Shu cupped his hands and said, "No need to be polite, please hurry up and return to the city. I have something to explain to the city lord."
"Okay, I'll lead the way."
Qi Bai and Cai Lin flew to the front respectfully, not daring to neglect at all.
Don’t mention it all the way.
The news has long been known in Jiaodou City, and there are sounds of joy everywhere. The city lord personally goes out to welcome Zhou Shu and others into the city. After everyone has finished the ceremony, there is another grand banquet. After several hours, Zhou Shu goes to the city lord Go to the house.
Jing Tianshan was a little hesitant, "Senior brother, do I want to go too?"
Zhou Shu nodded, "Of course, you have done no less than me, so you should get the reward you deserve."
Jing Tianshan thought for a while, "But I don't want anything."
Zhou Shu glanced at her and said, "You don't have it, and Cihang Sect doesn't have it either?"
"ah?"
Jing Tianshan was startled, "Senior brother means... this is not good. Both the master and the sect leader have said that the identity of Cihang Sect disciples must not be revealed if they are not trustworthy people. Gladiator City is not a fairy city, and the city lord cannot be told these things." .”
Zhou Shu said calmly, "Without Cihang Sect, Gladiatorial City will be gone. He must know this. You don't have to worry about trouble. I will handle it."
Jing Tianshan thought for a while, then nodded gently, "Okay, senior brother."
After entering the city lord's palace, Ding Zhi stepped back and took two steps closer. He suddenly bowed and saluted, "Thank you two fellow Taoists!"
Jing Tianshan paused and returned the courtesy, "City Lord, you are too polite."
Zhou Shu cupped his hands and said slowly, "City Lord, Fellow Taoist Zhuge didn't speak clearly enough outside. There are some things he didn't say. You don't have to be in a hurry to thank me."
Ding Zhi's expression changed slightly, "Is there no Ghost Emperor? Or will the Dead Realm expand?"
"of course not."
Zhou Shu shook his head, "There is indeed a Ghost Emperor. He was also severely damaged and will not expand the Death Domain for at least fifty years."
Ding Zhi stroked his beard and said with a smile, "That's enough. Fellow Taoist doesn't have to say anything about other things. Everyone has their own secrets. How could I not know that Fellow Taoist Zhuge's words were flashy and he ignored many important points? What? But it doesn’t matter, I only know that as long as the Ghost Emperor doesn’t come to Gladiator City, I can’t thank you enough."
Zhou Shu seemed thoughtful, "Fellow Taoist is really open-minded."
Ding Zhi said slowly, "I told fellow Taoist before that as long as I can delay the Death Realm for twenty years, I will be grateful. Now that fellow Taoist has found out the reason and stopped the expansion of the Ghost Emperor, it is already perfect." Once the goal is achieved, I will never shirk the responsibility, and I will definitely do what I promised before."
He glanced at the two of them and said with a smile, "All the belongings I have collected over the past tens of thousands of years are inside. You two can take a look now."
Zhou Shu laughed, "So this is what the city lord was referring to, haha."
"Ah, do fellow Taoists have any other requests?"
Ding Zhi's face changed slightly, and then he stroked his beard and said, "It doesn't matter. With the merits of several fellow Taoists, it is reasonable to ask for more. However, Fellow Daoist Zhou already has a Xianshu City, so he should look down on my Gladiator City. ? Could it be that Fellow Daoist Jing has some request?"
Seeing Ding Zhi glance over, Jing Tianshan paused and turned to Zhou Shu, as if asking for help.
She didn't refuse directly because she was afraid that Zhou Shu really wanted something, so it was obviously not good for her to refuse.
Zhou Shu waved his hand, the misunderstanding getting deeper and deeper, "It's not about remuneration."
Ding Zhi seemed to understand something, raised his hand and said, "Fellow Taoist, please tell me."
Zhou Shu said slowly, "First, the Ghost Emperor was only injured and did not disappear. He is still in the Dead Realm and may expand again. Although I don't think this possibility is high, it is still possible after all, that is He said that Gladiator City may still be in danger, fellow Taoists still need to be prepared, and cannot be despised because of this and relax the surveillance of the dead zone."
Ding Zhi pondered for a few breaths and was not too disappointed. "It is basically impossible to eliminate something like the Ghost Emperor. It is good that fellow Taoist can temporarily stop it this time. I will not and cannot force more," he looked at Zhou Shu He glanced at it and said in a deep voice, "And when he comes next time, Gladiator City may not be what it is now."
Zhou Shu smiled and raised his hand, "It seems that the city lord is very confident that he will become a quasi-sage during this period. I would like to congratulate you first."
Ding Zhi did not deny it, "It all depends on two fellow Taoists."
Zhou Shu nodded and said no more about this point. Although he felt that becoming a quasi-sage would not be of much use in defending the Gladiator City, the city lord had this confidence, and he could not deny it. Besides, would the Ghost Emperor still be able to do it? Continuing to expand is also a doubt. He is just a reminder. There is no need to go into too much depth.
Ding Zhi said sincerely, "Anyway, thank you fellow Taoist. Now I still think about Gladiator City."
Zhou Shu paused for a moment and continued, "The second thing is that this time we were lucky enough to defeat the Ghost Emperor. In addition to the Wuji Talisman given by the city lord, the bigger reason is my and her background. To put it simply, we cultivate Xi's mentality and so on are just right to restrain the Ghost Emperor."
Ding Zhi said solemnly, "I know this. Both of them are founders of the Tao and are indispensable and the most respected practitioners in the world."
Zhou Shu said calmly, "The power of creation and annihilation cancel each other out and cannot be restrained, especially when dealing with the Ghost Emperor. The Ghost Emperor is also a combination of vitality and death. Not only can the power of creation not injure him severely, , and possibly help him with treatment.”
"Ah, is there such a thing?"
Ding Zhi was shocked for a moment, but soon realized something, "Those two fellow Taoists are..."
"Disciple Cihang, I am the lord of Xianshu City and the inheritor of the way of compassion, and so is she."
Zhou Shu finished speaking calmly, and then looked at Ding Zhi's reaction.
Ding Zhi was shocked at first, then heavy, and finally calmed down while stroking his long beard, but he didn't even notice that several strands of his beard were pulled off by him and fluttered down, indicating that his heart was far less peaceful than it seemed.
After a while, he looked at Jing Tianshan and said slowly, "Fellow Daoist Jing, I was disrespectful in the past. I'm sorry."
Jing Tianshan said warmly, "The city lord doesn't need to worry about it. I hid it first. The city lord has been very good to me."
"It turns out that Cihang Sect has been in Gladiator City for a long time, but I only found out later, haha."
Ding Zhi smiled and looked like he was sighing, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, do you have any requirements when you say this? I will try my best to fulfill it."
Zhou Shu said with a peaceful smile, "City Lord, I don't have any requirements. I just want to tell the City Lord clearly that the best way to completely solve the problem of the Ghost Emperor and the Dead Realm is the power of compassion. Most other methods are unreliable. "
"I see."
Ding Zhi seemed to have some realization, "Fellow Taoist hopes to publicize this through me, so that everyone in the fairy city will know that Cihang Sect and the power of compassion are an indispensable part of the heavens. Only by opposing the fairy world, can we Only by supporting Cihang Sect, Gladiator City and the fairy cities around the Dead Realm can maintain stability."
Zhou Shu was surprised, "Fellow Taoist's understanding is too high. You can draw inferences from one example, but you are wrong. This is not my requirement."
