Chapter 3679 Hongqiao

Zhou Shu smiled and said, "Two fellow Taoists, I wonder what the king wants to discuss with me?"

Xuan Ningzi hesitated, shook his head and said, "We don't know what happened. The king only asked us to inform us about the matter. If the city lord agrees, the king will naturally send an envoy to talk to the city lord."

Zhou Shu smiled and said, "No problem, I'll just ask. It seems like the matter is not trivial. Does it have anything to do with Jin Xuan?"

It’s not surprising that the Dragon Clan raises many practitioners as offerings. This is more for the sake of face, proving that the Dragon Clan can use the practitioners at will, and they don’t really believe in the practitioners. They regard them as offerings that they can rely on. These offerings He only does chores, and his status is similar to that of a half-dragon.

However, Zen practice is excluded. Zen practice has a very high status in the Dragon Kingdom. There are also special Zen temples, and the Dragon Clan treats them as national teachers.

Xuan Ningzi hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "We don't know this, and we don't dare to make random guesses. In short, the king will definitely know it when he arrives."

"good."

Zhou Shu smiled, this worshiper was really cautious.

The younger Xuan Zhenzi asked curiously, "Is the Jin Xuan that the city lord mentioned is the third prince? Some people say that he was once the city lord's disciple, is that true?"

Xuan Ningzi's face changed slightly, and she scolded, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask!"

"Nothing wrong with that."

Zhou Shu smiled and said, "Jin Xuan is indeed my disciple."

Xuan Zhenzi's eyes lit up, "Really, no wonder..." Halfway through, he looked at Xuan Ningzi and stopped talking.

Zhou Shu frowned, "Fellow Taoist Xuanzhenzi, just say what you want without any scruples. I have no intention of knowing the secrets of your sect, but if the matter is related to me and my disciples, but you conceal it, what will happen in the future?" I’m afraid you can’t escape your responsibility?”

Xuan Ningzi hesitated for a moment and said quickly, "The city lord has misunderstood. We have no intention of hiding it. Disciple, you can say whatever you want. Don't worry about me."

Xuan Zhenzi nodded, "Not long ago, the king suddenly made the third prince the official prince. Some people said it was because of the support of the Zen Temple, but some people said it was because of you, the city lord. The city lord is the founder of the Tao, and Jin Xuan has the founder of the Tao. My master’s strength and status suddenly surpassed that of other princes, which made the king make such a decision.”

Zhou Shu pondered and said, "Officially the crown prince, does that mean Jin Xuan will succeed to the throne of the Golden Dragon Kingdom in the future?"

"Yes."

Xuan Zhenzi was quite excited, "According to the past of the Golden Dragon Kingdom, after the king announces the official successor, he can stay in the position of king for at most another thousand years. In other words, Jin Xuan will be the king of the Jinlong Kingdom after a thousand years. Congratulations, City Lord Woolen cloth."

Zhou Shu laughed, "Congratulations to me? Haha, thank you."

Xuan Ningzi followed him and bowed, and said seriously, "That's true, City Lord, I think the reason why the King came to invite the City Lord is probably related to this matter, but the City Lord must not say that we told the City Lord, If the leader of the country is dissatisfied with us, it will be very troublesome."

Zhou Shu said warmly, "Don't worry, I won't say anything. I am a practitioner and will not turn towards the dragon clan."

Xuan Ningzi thanked him once, then noticed something again, his face turned red, "Could the city lord be accusing me with these words?"

Zhou Shu looked at him and said slowly, "I don't mean that. It's all personal choice. But I want to say one more thing. Since the Dragon Clan doesn't value practitioners and fellow Taoists are living on thin ice, why should they stay here?" There are so many good places in the world, whether you go to the fairy city or stay in your own realm, it is better than staying in the dragon realm, right?"

Xuan Ningzi smiled bitterly and said, "Oh, the city lord doesn't know something. Those of us who are willing to stay in the Dragon Realm and be manipulated by the Dragon Clan are not all willing."

Zhou Shu waved his hand and said, "I don't want to know the reasons for you, fellow Taoist. Just make your own decision. However, if you two are willing to go to Xianshu City, I welcome you."

Xuan Ningzi was still smiling bitterly, but Xuan Zhenzi said happily, "Is what the city lord said true?"

Zhou Shu smiled and nodded, "Of course it's true. Xianshu City welcomes practitioners, and the same goes for those from the Dragon Realm."

Xuan Zhenzi looked at Xuan Ningzi and said expectantly, "Master, are you not as good as us?"

Xuan Ningzi paused and said in a deep voice, "You talked too much today. If you have this time, why not recollect the mental skills you practiced the day before yesterday? You don't need to think about these things. You are still half a bucket full of water. Go ahead. It’s useless everywhere, it’s all trash.”

Xuan Zhenzi was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Zhou Shu smiled and said nothing, continuing to think about his own affairs.

Dozens of days passed before he knew it. Xuan Ningzi pointed to the front, "City Lord, ahead is the boundary of the Golden Dragon Kingdom. That is the Golden Seventh Realm. We have to say goodbye. It was a hard work for the City Lord on this journey. If it weren't for the City Lord's help, Speed ​​up, we can't come back so soon."

Zhou Shu seemed to be thinking, "It doesn't matter, you guys have to say goodbye. Could it be that the king is in this world?"

Xuan Ningzi said quickly, "When the city lord arrives in the realm, the country lord will know that the city lord has arrived, and will naturally send people to greet him, so there is no need for the two of us."

Xuan Zhenzi said indifferently, "We were just running errands for them, and now the mission is over."

"What nonsense!"

Xuan Ningzi scolded, raised his hand and said, "Then let's go report it first. The city lord can just wait here."

Zhou Shu stood there, and not long after, a group of people came up to him. There were probably dozens of people. The leader was also a practitioner, but he was just a Zen cultivator. Behind him were three dragons, and Xuan Ningzi and Xuan Zhenzi were also there. In the team, he just stayed at the end of the team, standing behind a row of half-dragons.

Speaking of which, this is the reason why Zhou Shu doesn't want to go to the Dragon Realm.

After the dragons were driven out of the Xuanhuang Realm, in order to understand why they lost to humans, they followed anthropology and established a kingdom. But unfortunately, they did not learn the advantages of human beings such as tolerance and openness, but they learned a lot that humans need to discard. There are many things, such as complicated etiquette, strict hierarchical system, etc. After returning, practitioners who have been to the Dragon Realm say that they feel like they have arrived in the kingdom of mortal kings, and they are restricted in everything they do, and they are not comfortable at all.

"Welcome the founder!"

Following the Zen monk's loud shout, many of his entourage took action. In the blink of an eye, a seven-color long bridge was built in the void. It was unknown how long it was, with flying clouds gathering on it, and clouds and dragons surrounding it. It was really beautiful. Everyone lined up on both sides, bowed and saluted, looking extremely solemn.

The Zen monk took two steps and saluted, "I traveled a long way to welcome the Lord Zhou on behalf of the king. I'm really sorry that I didn't go far to welcome the distinguished guests."

Zhou Shu said calmly, "Thank you all, but there is no need to go to such trouble. Just feel free to do it."

Xingyuan said solemnly, "The words of the city lord are wrong. The city lord is the only founder of the world for tens of thousands of years. When he comes to the Golden Dragon Kingdom, how can our country treat him with ordinary courtesy? This rainbow bridge will extend all the way to where the lord of the Golden Dragon Kingdom is. Hongbao Realm, City Lord, please get on your way!"

Zhou Shu hesitated, "Okay, it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Hongqiao stretches all the way to the Hongbao Realm. I'm afraid it won't cross seven or eight realms. Such waste is indeed something only the Dragon Clan can do.
