Chapter 171 Not a Qualified Pendant

"You..."

Seeing Bai Ze instantly transform from an imposing and spirited figure into one who was both cowardly and fearful, Dong Yuefeng was helpless. He could only comfort him, saying:

"I think Pavilion Master Wei has a great personality."

"As long as you don't interrupt his romantic date with that Miss Jue, he shouldn't get angry easily."

The old man's voice paused slightly.

He saw Bai Ze's forehead dripping with cold sweat.

Dong Yuefeng seemed to realize something and widened his eyes, "Pavilion Master Wei and Miss Jue's affair?"

Bai Ze wiped away the cold sweat, "Yes, more or less. Anyway, you should be fine if you go, Old Dong, but if I were to disturb him, Wei Yuan might really pull out Xing Tian's axe and chase after me. The probability isn't high, but, but that kid could really do it."

"Haha, that's true."

The old man's mood improved, and his face even showed a hint of relief, much like an elderly person seeing a late-blooming younger generation finally getting the hang of things. He couldn't help but grin, "Then can I consider preparing a gift to send?"

"Heh... it has to be old-fashioned."

"Yes, first get a fruit basket with red dates, peanuts, longan, and lotus seeds. We often sent those back in our day, taking the homophonic meaning of 'may you have a son soon,' as a blessing, and then..."

Bai Ze rolled his eyes.

Who knew how many years it would take for those two to reach that stage.

Then, he frowned in thought.

The old man was in a happy mood. It was rare to see Bai Ze thinking again, using his rusty brain, so he asked curiously, "What are you thinking about again?" Bai Ze casually said, "I'm just wondering why the Ten Philosophers of the Military Temple appeared during the reign of Emperor Suzong of Tang."

"After all, it often takes several generations for the human race to produce a spirit capable of matching the gods. In the era of the *Shan Hai Jing*, once it was cut off, it meant hundreds of years of darkness. That's why Yu the Great divided the *Shan Hai Jing*, to create distance so that even if it was cut off, there would still be a chance to return, slowly accumulating enough true spirits over time."

"After all, you know that there are many gods. If we don't do this, the human race cannot contend with them."

"But, why is this node in the Tang Dynasty?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the Military Temple was established to preserve the remnants of their true spirits."

"The sword of Lord Wu'an was probably originally from the first Military Temple as well."

"Using the incense of the human world to forcibly maintain the true spirits of these people at a level where future generations could awaken them. This grand plan could not have been accomplished for no reason. In other words,"

"During that era, someone probably knew about the great tribulation, knew about Yu the Great's backup plan, and revealed it to the emperor. Pushing the timeline back, there are only two possibilities, Emperor Xuanzong or Empress Wu."

Bai Ze stroked his chin:

"Personally, I think it was probably a secret letter left by Empress Wu."

Dong Yuefeng was surprised, "Why? So long ago?"

Bai Ze held up a finger, "Simple."

"Because Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were in that era."

"Other idiots couldn't possibly foresee the millennium tribulation in advance."

"If Emperor Xuanzong had assistance, he wouldn't have been so depraved later on."

"Secondly, the ancient extraordinary nodes of Shenzhou, one was in the early Ming Dynasty six hundred years ago, and the other was in the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago. Plus, the Wu Zhou's luck was short-lived, almost abruptly ending. I suspect that Empress Wu learned something from Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng at the end."

"One more thing, there was a solar eclipse before the era name was changed during that time."

"That wasn't a natural phenomenon, but a man-made method of shielding the sun and stars, which could be used to conceal the heavenly secrets, probably to protect someone from being hunted down, or perhaps it was to conceal the collection of the materials needed for the Military Temple."

"I even suspect that the reason for concealing the heavenly secrets was the completion of the Military Temple's basic formation."

"And then, after a hundred years, the true spirit items of the Ten Philosophers and Jiang Taigong were collected."

"They were placed into the formation during the reign of Emperor Suzong."

"A hundred-year plan, looking to the future, doing their best, entrusting hope and the future to the next generation, isn't this the style that the people of Shenzhou like the most?"

Dong Yuefeng looked at Bai Ze, who was still unreliable and still looked like a lazy fellow.

But he suddenly sighed, "Sometimes I don't know what the real you is like."

Bai Ze shrugged his shoulders, "Don't be curious."

"I, at least, followed Xuanyuan."

"I watched him become a king, watched him become the Human Emperor, and finally watched him die."

"I really did accompany him throughout his life."

Bai Ze said softly, then paused, returning to his usual unreliable self.

He raised his chin and said triumphantly:

"Personally seeing off the thigh, this is also the basic quality of a pendant!"

"So, that potter is not a qualified pendant at all!"

Bai Ze looked at his thesis and said with regret, "Unfortunately, the difficulty of full revival is too high. We can only do it batch by batch according to Shenzhou tradition. I have already prepared the first list of true spirits to be reawakened, but it seems that I can't share it with Wei Yuan immediately."

"You decided?" The old man was shocked.

"No, strictly speaking, it was Lord Wu'an who decided. I asked him."

The old professor was surprised, "When did you and Lord Wu'an become so familiar?!"

Bai Ze raised his head and said, "Well, it's the friendship we forged after fighting."

Being beaten also counts as fighting?!

How did you fight? Using your face to strike Lord Wu'an's fist?

The old man was speechless.

Bai Ze scratched his head and said, "In short, the purpose of the first list is to maximize the strength of the famous generals, and the way to maximize this strength..." His voice paused and said, "Is to ignore them."

"Ignore them?"

"Yes, these famous generals are more unruly than the other and have their own ideas."

"In fact, even Yu the Great, Xuanyuan, or the First Emperor couldn't completely control them. There are a lot of people who are obedient, but these people are not qualified to fight with the gods."

"It's not okay for outsiders to manage insiders, and insiders? I suspect that these troublemakers would start fighting among themselves even if they died thousands of years ago and cultivated their character to become better-tempered."

Bai Ze looked at the sky speechlessly.

He seemed to have already seen Lord Wu'an of the Great Qin and Lord Wu'an of the Great Zhao fighting to the death, and Guan Yu wielding his Green Dragon Crescent Blade and laughing wildly while chasing after Lü Meng and Lu Xun. Yes, the fierceness of the Three Kingdoms period was such that even in the Tang Dynasty, which was full of martial spirit, only sixty-four generals were initially selected, and a bunch of their own people were stuffed in.

The late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era stubbornly occupied eight spots.

There were people from all factions, and even the Han Dynasty court had Huangfu Song.

Once they come together, they will definitely fight until their brains fly out.

After pondering, Bai Ze decided to throw this problem to the old Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain.

Professional problems, professional people, professional solutions.

Cheerfully forgetting the possibly tragic and extreme *shura* field that may appear in the future, Bai Ze said:

"Lord Wu'an's intention is."

"To exert the deterrent power of Yuan and His Majesty the First Emperor to attract the enemy's attention."

"In other words, from a strategic level, directly swap the high-level combat power of both sides. No one can move first. Whoever moves first is unlucky."

"Then give those famous generals some Yin soldiers and horses."

"Directly airdrop them into the realm of the Great Wilderness and the Four Seas, don't care, let them play by themselves."

"The first name on the list is Huo Qubing, the second is Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan, and Han Xin from the Ten Philosophers list. After all, there are countries and fierce beast demon souls in the Great Wilderness and the Four Seas. Throw these famous generals over there and don't care. After a while, they can pull out a large number of subordinates."

"It's faster than chickens laying eggs, no, it's faster than a sow having piglets."

"And I've studied it."

"With the style of the military immortal Han Xin, in the end, we may see a joint force in the *Shan Hai Jing* various ethnic groups' alliance mode appear, but other than fighting, his brain may not be very good in other aspects. It's a pity. If Zhuge Wuhou was thrown to him, the military immortal's shortcomings would be directly gone."

Bai Ze said cheerfully, and finally said with regret, "At this time, I feel a little regret."

"Regret?"

"Yes, why isn't Lü Fengxian there?"

Dong Yuefeng frowned and said:

"Although Lü Fengxian's command is strong, he is unfaithful and has betrayed many times."

"This person is very dangerous."

"Yes, that's why I said it was a pity."

Dong Yuefeng repeated Lü Bu's behavior style, which was directly evaluated as "ambition for rebellion" in official history. Bai Ze nodded and sighed, stroking his chin.

"So, Old Dong, that's why I regret it."

"Do you think such a backstabbing maniac and a troublemaker in troubled times, if thrown into the Great Wilderness."

"Can he resist the temptation to backstab Emperor Jun?"

Huh?!!

The old man's thoughts froze.

Backstabbing the Heavenly Emperor.

This is equivalent to a server-wide epic legend-level unique achievement, and perfectly matches his hobby.

When the opportunity to backstab the Heavenly Emperor is right in front of him.

General Lü, are you going to do it or not?

Is there even any need to consider it?!

He seemed to have already seen the man named Fengxian laughing wildly and waving his halberd, with red light bursting from his eyes.

Not going to do it?

He would have to do it once even if he died.

Dong Yuefeng stiffly raised his head and looked at Bai Ze, whose eyes were flashing with dangerous light.

His mouth twitched.

Wait, what do you want to do?

Wait, don't be impulsive.

Wait a minute...

Bai Ze, you're not a civil official too... right?

…………………

From a restaurant.

And Beelzebub, the Demon King of Hell's last thoughts.

In fact, when he saw the young man flying towards him, he didn't care.

His heart was three parts indifference, three parts mockery, and three parts nonchalance.

When he found that this strange fellow from Shenzhou opened his mouth and rushed towards him frantically, he didn't take it seriously. It wasn't until the other party directly swallowed his super-order magic as a doughnut and then accelerated in a straight line, biting down with his mouth.

Beelzebub realized the seriousness of the problem—

Crap?!!!

Are you serious?!

At this moment, Taotie, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, heroic temperament, and a hint of wild danger, was eating wildly in a restaurant. The surrounding waiters and guests looked at him, dumbfounded and speechless. The tables next to him were already full of plates.

And in front of Taotie, the black-haired, blue-eyed girl less than 1.6 meters tall clasped her hands together:

"It's okay, eat as much as you want."

"I will satisfy you."

As the most famous big fat sheep in Western mythology, crossed out, a good person.

The Lady of the Lake has the "characteristic of giving you good things as long as you help or meet certain conditions." Countless heroes have directly scammed a bunch of divine weapons and magic weapons in this way, which also means that unlike the young Daoist in those days who was poor and only had a tattered sword left.

The Lady of the Lake is a rich woman!

And the heavyweight kind!

As a rare god born from heaven and earth in Western legends, as the master of the hollow hill fairy realm, almost all the fairies in the major mythology systems come from this fairy realm, and the black-haired, elegant, and clear-eyed girl in front of her is the rotating master of the fairy realm.

There are not many people in the entire Western mythology who are richer than her.

Other gods have to cheat, deceive, or rely on chance encounters to get their divine weapons.

This spendthrift is the kind who gives away all kinds of divine weapons and magic weapons for free.

The most famous are the Sword of the King and the immortal scabbard.

When that poor Demon King of Hell realized that Taotie was serious, he had already been swallowed by this guy, but it only stimulated Taotie's appetite, so when the Lady of the Lake asked what his wish was, Taotie subconsciously replied that he wanted to eat a full meal.

Therefore, the motherly fat sheep, ah no, the great fairy, took Taotie to eat.

And very considerately asked Taotie if he had enough to eat.

If not, she still has money and can continue to buy.

Taotie sincerely expressed that it was not enough, and then quickly devoured the food.

While casually asking, "By the way, what is that Beelzebub?"

The Lady of the Lake said, "He is the Demon King of Hell, but the Whispers have a special relationship with the human world. Their main bodies can't come. Only a part of their incarnations come."

Taotie nodded, suddenly realizing, "No wonder I can't eat my fill."

The black-haired, blue-eyed girl warned, "Don't underestimate him."

"What you defeated was only a part of his incarnation. His real name is Baal. He is one of the main gods of Mesopotamia, and also the main god of Canaanite mythology and the Meccan Quraysh polytheistic religion. He is the leader of the seventy-two pillars of demons that King Solomon made friends with, the Lord of Hell commanding sixty-six legions, and for Jewish propaganda, the concept of the Demon King of Hell of Gluttony has been added."

"Very powerful."

Taotie nodded and thought, sighing, "There are so many gods?"

"Can eat my fill."

The girl almost laughed out loud.

The waiter over there walked forward wiping his cold sweat and said, "That, I'm sorry, all the food here has been eaten. Can you, can you look at the bill?" Taotie's movements froze, and he subconsciously prepared to run away.

The girl, less than 1.6 meters tall, with a beautiful face and pupils like green lake water, said:

"I don't have enough cash. Can I swipe my card?"

"Ye, yes."

The soft and delicate girl stretched out her hand.

And slapped down a stack of black cards.

"Excuse me, can you see which bank's black card can be used here?"

The first rich woman of the Western God Era!

The kind that wholesales divine weapons and magic weapons.

Then the Lady of the Lake looked at Taotie, her smile gentle and peaceful, "Are you full?"

"If you're not full, we'll go to another one."

Taotie's movements froze.

Even his parents had never been so good to him.

His defenses were broken, brothers.

Swallowing it whole, in the end, a meal directly ate up all the inventory of the most famous food street in Shu.

This is Shenzhou! Modern! Shu area!

The most famous food street!

A month's worth of inventory!

Poof, it's gone.

Taotie finally patted his stomach and murmured:

"Forget it, plus that demon god, I'm about 30% full. People should be content."

"By the way, what did you say you wanted to do? Find a heartless man?"

As Taotie, who knows sustainable development well, decided to have a good relationship with this girl who can feed him, "If you teach me that spell to summon hell demons, I will help you..."

The Lady of the Lake said, "What are you doing with that forbidden super-order magic?"

Taotie showed a shy smile like seeing a buffet.

Can summon, can summon infinitely.

Eat it and after a few months, you can summon it again.

In fact, there is no need to kill them all, and there is no need to eat their main bodies afterwards.

Sustainable development.

Taotie calculated in his heart.

At this moment, Beelzebub, who was rolling around in pain in hell, gave him one hundred and eight dislikes.

"Don't worry, tell me, I'll help you vent your anger!"

Facing Taotie's inquiry, the Lady of the Lake pursed her lips and said softly:

"He..."

"He is a very wonderful person."
