At the gate of Zhutian Tower, Shen Gongbao looked at the mortals coming in and out, and the pride and smiles on those people's faces. He felt even more inferior in his heart. You must know that he is also a heavenly monk after all, but these mortals have something he lacks. thing, that is confidence and pride.
Slightly lowering the bamboo hat on his head, Shen Gongbao sat down at the corner not far from the entrance of Zhutian Tower.
He kept observing for the whole day, and soon he discovered that he couldn't sense anything above the sixth floor. Obviously, this was most likely the dojo of the mysterious quasi-sage.
At this moment, an old woman carrying a backpack and a little girl passed by Shen Gongbao, and then the old man stopped.
"Grandma, what's wrong?" the little girl asked.
"Young man." The old man looked at Shen Gongbao and said.
"..." Shen Gongbao raised his head in confusion.
The old man didn't seem to be afraid when he saw Shen Gongbao's weird appearance. Even the little girl beside him didn't feel afraid, but looked at him curiously.
"I've seen you here since I passed by here in the morning. Have you encountered any difficulties?" The old man smiled kindly.
Shen Gongbao looked at the old man in front of him blankly, and his heart trembled when he heard the other person's gentle and caring words.
"Young people, cheer up. There are people recruiting workers at the palace gate. You can go and try. There are many things to say. You are guaranteed three meals a day, and you will be paid at the end of each month." The old man took out a folded folded book from his arms. The neatly arranged handkerchief was opened layer by layer, and the trembling hands seemed to be peeling away Shen Gongbao's cold heart.
Soon, some money came out of it. The amount was not large, and it was probably the expenses of a family of three in Chaoge City for a day.
"Grandma..." the little girl exclaimed.
"You don't have much money, take these. I saw you have been sitting all day, and I'm afraid you haven't eaten yet. Let's buy some cakes with it." The old man's trembling hand took out half of the money from the handkerchief and handed it to Shen Gongbao. .
Shen Gongbao stretched out his hand blankly, and several large coins fell into his hand.
When he came to his senses, the old woman had already led her granddaughter away.
"Grandma, you worked hard to get this money from selling shoes, why should you give it to him?"
"Niuniu, grandma taught you to be kind to others. That man looked really pitiful. He must have been wronged. Grandma saw the injury on his face. Hey, it reminded me of your dead father."
The conversation between the two was overheard by Shen Gongbao. His heart thumped for the first time. The surrounding sounds seemed to disappear at this moment. Only the old man and the child's leaving figures were in his eyes. At this moment, he felt the feeling from behind. Warmth that I have never felt before.
"Why?" Shen Gongbao looked at the few big coins in his hand and murmured. He didn't understand why this mortal would lend a helping hand to him when he was already in such a difficult situation.
"Why?" Shen Gongbao asked himself again.
Shen Gongbao raised his head and looked at the sky, a tear falling from the corner of his eye. The originally turbid world in his eyes seemed to become clear at this moment.
He carefully put the five large coins into his arms, wiped his eyes, and his eyes became firm. Then he stood up and walked towards Zhutian Tower step by step. He wanted to fight for his future.
Above Zhutian Tower, Li Daoyi and others were drinking tea and chatting. Suddenly Li Daoyi sensed something.
"Why is this guy here?" Li Daoyi asked in confusion.
"Huh?" Several people looked at Li Daoyi at the same time, and then they also sensed it.
"Hey, it's that kid from last time." Kunpeng said in surprise.
Immediately after Li Dao waved his hand, Shen Gongbao, who had just stepped onto the steps below, felt that the surrounding scenery changed and he appeared in a spacious and unfamiliar house.
When he came back to his senses and looked around, when he saw Li Daoyi and others, his legs softened and he knelt down.
"Junior Shen Gongbao pays homage to all seniors." Shen Gongbao buried his head deeply.
Everyone said nothing, but looked at this little fairy curiously.
Shen Gongbao waited for a long time, but when no one spoke, he raised his head secretly. First he saw Li Daoyi, Zhen Yuanzi and Kunpeng whom he had met last time, and then his pupils shrank sharply.
"Tongtian Saint..." Shen Gongbao shouted in fear. He actually saw the leader of Tongtian Cult, and his heart suddenly felt cold, and he quickly lowered his head.
"Interesting, are you a member of the Chan Cult? You are ostracized by your fellow disciples and have nowhere to go, right?" Tongtian's voice came. The moment Shen Gongbao appeared, he had already figured out the whole story.
"Disciple has seen the saint." Shen Gongbao said quickly.
"Are you here to see me?" Li Daoyi asked.
"I...I..." Shen Gongbao's mind was full of confusion at this time, and he couldn't say a word he had originally planned. When he thought that Tongtian was here, how could he dare to say it.
"Hahaha, what are you afraid of? You have the guts to come in, are you still afraid of my senior brother Yuanshi?" Tongtian laughed.
Hearing this, Shen Gongbao took a deep breath, yes, he is already here, there is nothing to worry about.
"The junior wants to stay and work for the senior." Shen Gongbao said as he bowed to Li Dao one by one.
"Haha, you are a little fairy, but you are very courageous. You must know that you are betraying the master." Kunpeng laughed.
"Senior is laughing. Although I say that I have become a disciple of the Chan Cult, I have not learned any of the Chan Cult techniques over the years, nor have I received any favors from them. I have made no progress in my cultivation for decades. I am unwilling to accept it. Since then, The last time I saw this senior, I was yearning for him and hoped that he would come true." After saying this, Shen Gongbao kowtowed heavily.
"A good bird chooses a tree to roost on, fellow Taoist, although this person has low qualifications, he is really pitiful. Since he is destined, why not..." At this time, Zhen Yuanzi said. He saw Shen Gongbao's dilemma.
Looking at Shen Gongbao in front of him, Li Daoyi was thinking a lot. He actually had plans for this person before, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually come to his door so quickly.
"The injuries on your body were caused by Taiyi?" Li Daoyi asked.
"Yes, this junior collided with Senior Brother Taiyi." Shen Gongbao said ashamedly.
Li Dao nodded, and instantly understood that Shen Gongbao was probably trying to flatter him but got slapped on the horse. How could Master Taiyi like him like this?
"Want to take revenge?" Li Daoyi asked.
Shen Gongbao suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Daoyi.
"I..." Shen Gongbao opened his mouth.
"Follow your own heart." Li Daoyi reminded.
Shen Gongbao's mind immediately recalled Master Taiyi's disdainful look after he injured himself, and a trace of ferocity suddenly appeared on his face.
"Think, I want to kill that guy." Shen Gongbao shouted.
"Okay, you have some backbone."
Li Dao nodded.
"Wen Zhong."
"exist."
Wen Zhong came over from behind.
"Find him a place to stay in the city. I will make my own arrangements afterwards." Li Daoyi said.
"Yes." Wen Zhong said quickly.
"Okay, just let him go. Don't worry about revenge. I will have other plans for you afterwards." Li Daoyi then said to Shen Gongbao.
"Yes, thank you senior." Shen Gongbao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
After the two left, Tongtian asked.
"Fellow Taoist, you seem to be very optimistic about that kid just now?"
"Do you think he is just a young monk?"
Everyone nodded.
"Hahaha, you are underestimating him. This person is an indispensable part of becoming a god. Countless immortals will die because of his mouth, even quasi-sages." Li Daoyi said.
"What?" Everyone was shocked.
"Shen Gongbao? I understand. Yes, what Fellow Daoist Li said is true. That man just now is truly remarkable. He has a strong eloquence and is extremely good at persuading others." Wutian in Bai Yi beside him also thought of some of Shen Gongbao's deeds.
In the backyard of Zhutian Tower, Wen Zhong's carriage drove the two of them away slowly.
"You kid, you're lucky to be appreciated by your seniors," Wen Zhong said.
"Yes, um, Senior Brother Wen, I have a favor to ask of you." Shen Gongbao said.
"Whatever happened, tell me, don't tell anyone, we are all our own people now." Wen Zhong said with a smile.
"I want to find two, an old woman and a little girl." Shen Gongbao said.
"Oh?" Wen Zhong was suddenly confused.
Then Shen Gongbao told what happened before.
"Hey, brother, do you see? This is a mortal. Although he is humble, he is still kind. Don't worry, I understand what you mean. I will find him for you tomorrow." Wen Zhong patted Shen Gongbao on the shoulder and said.
"Thank you, Brother Dao." Shen Gongbao said gratefully.
The next day, a brand new Shen Gongbao appeared in front of a low cabin. The little girl who opened the door looked at the visitor timidly.
"You...who are you looking for?" the little girl asked.
"Niuniu..." Shen Gongbao called the little girl.
"Ah, how do you know my name?"
"We met yesterday, don't you remember?"
"Yesterday?" The little girl looked at Shen Gongbao and then shook her head.
"Niuniu, who is it?" At this time, the old woman also walked out of the room.
When Shen Gongbao saw this, he quickly stepped forward and knelt down facing the old man.
"Ah, what are you doing?" The old man was startled.
Shen Gongbao quickly took out the big coins from his arms. The old man recognized them at a glance and looked at Shen Gongbao again.
"It's you, you're the young man yesterday." The old man exclaimed.
"It's true that there is love and justice." In Zhutian Tower, a huge mirror floated in front of him, and inside it was the scene that had just happened. Li Daoyi nodded with satisfaction.
Then the picture in the mirror turned, and a figure appeared inside, it was Yin Suzhi with a big belly, and next to her was Li Jing, who was carefully peeling the fruit.
"We owe the king a favor. You must repay it well in the future, otherwise I will never forgive you." Yin Suzhi said.
"Yes, yes, of course I will remember it. Hey, I never thought I would leave Chentangguan and be transferred back to Chaoge." Li Jing said.
"You should have come back a long time ago. How can a good man cower in this place? It's great now. Jin Zha and Muzha can still go to the palace and study with the prince. What's the future of staying in Chentangguan?"
"But, I have already sent a letter to the master before, asking my two children to worship in Kunlun..." Li Jing said in a low voice.
"What? You... why didn't you discuss such a big matter with me, you bastard." Yin Suzhi said angrily.
"Interesting, I almost forgot about this." Li Daoyi looked at this scene and immediately laughed. He didn't think of it. Jin Zha and Mu Zha had indeed worshiped the Chan Cult, and they were two twelve golden immortals. disciple.
