Calamity Crown

Under the morning light, the white porridge in the white porcelain bowl was glowing with a glow, and Zhang Deshou looked at Goethe seriously.

Before Goethe could speak, the young master of the Zhang family spoke again.

"I was serious."

"I can give you the position of the master of the 'Longevity Dao' as compensation."

Goethe laughed.

It seems reasonable for him, Goethe, the longevity species, to have the position of the Taoist master of the 'Longevity Dao'.

pity……

Too much trouble.

This is different from the "small fights" that he hanged on the head before. This kind of trouble that has already touched the top existence of the world in front of him, Goethe is not sensitive.

In the secret realm in front of him, most of the time, he can sit back and relax.

But in the face of the top few, you still need to be careful.

After all, apart from himself, the world in front of him has also been magically changed by the 'Mad King'.

No one knows what 'surprise' will be waiting for him after touching it.

Goethe never underestimated himself, just as he never underestimated others.

In six hundred and sixty-six years, how many amazingly talented and brilliant people will appear?

How did they explore [Baoka]?

How did you get inspired from it?

And how to innovate?

These are unknowns.

Facing the unknown, Goethe has always been cautious.

So, he smiled and took a sip of porridge.

"The porridge is good."

Goethe said so.

Looking at Goethe's appearance, the young master of the Zhang family knew that Goethe refused.

But he doesn't give up.

"'Longevity Dao' originated from the 'Qingyuan Mountain' six hundred years ago. It has a thousand-year-old secret method. Even if the emperor cut down the mountain and destroyed the temple, it still retains the core inheritance. There are also five very special [treasures] Ka], as long as Brother Mo agrees, these are all yours."

"The first [treasure card] can heal injuries."

"The second [treasure card] can get rid of diseases."

"The third [treasure card] can turn beans into soldiers."

"The fourth [treasure card] can summon warriors."

"The fifth [treasure card] can call wind and rain."

"These five [treasure cards] are combined with the inheritance of the 'Longevity Dao', which is enough to make people... immortal!"

When the word 'immortality' was said, the young master of the Zhang family stared at Goethe.

But, to his disappointment, Goethe's face didn't change at all.

Still drinking the porridge calmly.

Still sucking salted duck eggs.

Nothing has changed, nothing seems to have changed.

This disappointed the young master of the Zhang family.

He stared blankly at Goethe.

"Brother Mo, is he not tempted at all?"

"Move."

"I'm very tempted."

"But immortality does not mean immortality. Moreover, I am afraid of trouble. Brother Zhang, you have been running the 'Longevity Dao' Taoist position for many years, but now you have abandoned it like a shoe. Obviously, you are in big trouble."

Goethe picked up a sesame seed cake and said.

The young master of the Zhang family opened his mouth, and finally, it turned into a wry smile.

"There's big trouble."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't try to protect myself."

"Can you tell me in detail?"

Goethe asked.

"certainly!"

"Ten years ago, I was kidnapped by the 'Longevity Dao' monster, and my father scattered all the family wealth for me, causing the family of the rich to begin to decline—Brother Mo must know about these things."

"I don't know if brother Mo knows, but the person who kidnapped me back then was actually a member of the 'Huangcheng Division'."

Imperial City Division? !

Goethe narrowed his eyes.

The Imperial City Department is a special department of Daqian, similar to the Jinyiwei he knows.

Moreover, the structure is more complex.

In addition to the necessary personnel, there is also the saying of "Beidou" and "Nandou".

Borrow the name of the stars to do evil things.

The person who kidnapped Zhang Deshou turned out to be someone from the 'Huangcheng Secretary'?

Then, it was the government that provoked the battle between the Zhang family and the 'Longevity Dao' back then!

Goethe narrowed his eyes and thought of more.

"Just as brother Mo thought."

"Haimen is too close to the imperial capital."

"It's so close that everyone has something to think about here."

"It's so close that everyone wants to have it in their hands."

"As for the wealthy Zhang family in Haimen, the master of the 'Longevity Tao' is really eye-catching."

"It's so eye-catching, they shouldn't exist."

When the young master of the Zhang family said these words, he sighed, a layer of mist formed in his eyes, then he lowered his head and raised his sleeves to cover it up, and the voice sounded again.

"My father only guessed at first, and he didn't know this until the Taoist master of the 'Longevity' came to the door late at night."

"At the same time, the master of the 'Longevity Tao' made a proposal that my father could not refuse."

Speaking of this, the young master of the Zhang family gave a meal.

Goethe guessed it.

"The Zhang family paid for the 'Longevity Tao' to save people."

Goethe said.

"That's right."

"My father doesn't want to agree, because in this way, the Zhang family will be deemed to be ambiguous with the 'Longevity Dao' and will only be liquidated afterwards, but he is too worried about my comfort."

"He's worried that if he disposes of Wanguan's family property, he won't be able to exchange me for it."

"So, he agreed."

"Afterwards, he cooperated with the Daoist of the 'Longevity', acting on the surface and saving people secretly. Everything went smoothly until..."

An inextricable hatred appeared in the eyes of the young master of the Zhang family.

Goethe sighed.

"The Zhang family and the 'Changshengdao' have a traitor."

"right."

"The Zhang family and the 'Longevity Dao' have traitors, making the controllable situation uncontrollable."

"The killing has begun."

"Everyone is red-eyed."

"At the same time, against the Daoist of the 'Longevity', the 'Huangcheng Division' began to send out the 'Big Dipper' and 'Nandou' to directly set up a killing array."

"In the end, the 'Huangcheng Division' suffered heavy casualties, the Big Dipper withered, the Southern Dipper was completely wiped out, and the Daoist of the 'Longevity' was killed on the spot."

"And the Zhang family?"

"It has become like this now, and I have become a lonely family."

The young master of the Zhang family smiled wryly again.

Goethe finally understood why the young master of the Zhang family liked to smile wryly.

Anyone who encounters such a thing will smile wryly.

It can be said that disaster fell from the sky!

And, not once.

The young master of the Zhang family is used to it.

After smiling, the young master of the Zhang family asked again.

"How did Brother Mo know that the Zhang family and the 'Longevity Dao' are traitors?"

"Since you were kidnapped, the entire Zhang family has fallen into an irreversible crisis. Your father, as a rich man in Haimen, naturally has his own channels. He should have even noticed such a thing himself. He should give the Zhang family A retreat was left, but such a retreat obviously didn't work, obviously the Zhang family's every move was under control, even if your father wanted to retreat bravely, it would be impossible."

"As for the 'Longevity Dao', it's even simpler!"

"Ten years ago, Haimen lost twenty-two children in one day, and you were one of them. If it weren't for the cooperation of the 'Longevity Dao' people, it would be impossible to achieve this kind of perfection."

"Moreover, there should be more than one traitor to the 'Longevity Dao'."

"Otherwise, with the prudence of the Daoist of the 'Longevity', it is impossible to be ambushed at the last moment and fall directly into the killing situation."

Goethe said with certainty.

These things are obvious.

If he was a member of the 'Huangcheng Division', he would definitely do the same.

Be careful in the early stage, and you are not afraid of taking a long time.

As long as you can catch it all in one go.

However, the sky is not as good as people's calculations.

The "Imperial City Secretary" also missed a young master of the Zhang family.

This surprised Goethe.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for the "Huangcheng Secretary" to do this. Now that everything has been done so far, it will definitely be eradicated, unless it is...

Goethe narrowed his eyes.

he continued.

"You survived."

"It stands to reason that you shouldn't have survived. Even if the Daoist of the 'Longevity' saved you, you should have died."

"so……"

"You are not that Zhang Deshou at all."

"You should be the pawn prepared by the 'Huangcheng Division'."

As he spoke, Goethe looked at the young master of the Zhang family.

And the young master of the Zhang family didn't refute at all, he just nodded.

"If it's based on the facts, that's the case. Brother Mo's quick thinking is really admirable to my younger brother, but my younger brother is indeed my father's son, and he is indeed Zhang Deshou."

The young master of the Zhang family looked at Goethe and smiled.

Goethe's narrowed eyes opened instantly.

"【Treasure Card】!"

"Borrowing a dead body to return the soul?"

Goethe expressed his guess.

The young master of the Zhang family was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled wryly again.

"Brother Mo, can you react a little slower?"

"If you do this, it will make me feel very unfulfilled."

As the young master of the Zhang family spoke, he took out a card from his sleeve.

[Corpse Resurrection. Remnant (No. 71): The 'Mad King' first made such a card when he had a bad taste, but when he experienced betrayal, this card became like a life-saving straw. Come as a chance to do it again, but this card is not really completed, it is just a defective product]

(Note 1: Each use depends on the strength of the user, and it needs to consume 50-100 years of life. When the strength exceeds a hundred years of life, this card cannot be activated)

(Note 2: The user can use bloody honor instead)

(Note 3: The replaced target must die for no more than two hours. After two hours, it will fail to use)

...

Words began to appear before Goethe's eyes.

The process in my mind became clearer.

"When the Daoist of 'Longevity' went to rescue you, it naturally caused a commotion. You took advantage of the chaos to kill the double, then possessed him, and carried out a 'resurrection of the dead'..."

"wrong!"

"It should be that when the Daoist of 'Longevity' came to rescue you, you had already killed the double, and he knew your identity as the 'Huangcheng Secretary', for the sake of the Zhang family's property, and also for the sake of cheating the 'Huangcheng Secretary', He doesn't mind working with you."

"And, in order to make you more like the dead young master of the Zhang family, he used some secret methods for you."

"And the reason why you have been able to live safely as the young master of the Zhang family up to now is probably because you used the 'Longevity Taoist' Taoist 'is still alive', and the one who died back then was just a puppet or something like that, scaring the 'imperial city'. Secretary', even, in order to make the other party believe that it is true, you also told the 'deal' between you and the other party, the other party accepted you as a disciple and taught you your skills."

"And you just passed what you learned back to the 'Huangcheng Division' little by little, and temporarily stabilized the 'Huangcheng Division'."

"As for the inheritance of the 'Longevity Dao'?"

"Back then, the Taoist master of the Tao of Longevity probably felt something was wrong, so he hid the inheritance, treasure cards, and wealth in a place that only he knew."

"The appearance of the traitor made him distrust anyone, but in order to worry about the loss of the "Longevity Tao" orthodoxy, he left clues, but you obtained such clues, which gave you the capital to turn around."

The last piece of the puzzle emerged.

Goethe had a complete picture in his mind.

Some things that don't make sense make sense.

No wonder they used the inheritance of the 'Longevity' to seduce him as soon as they came up.

It turned out to have been sold once.

Already sold once, will this sell again?

Naturally, there is no heartache.

And there will be no burden.

"Brother Mo really admires me."

"Things are probably about the same as you guessed."

"The inheritance, including, and wealth of the 'Longevity Dao' were found out by my father relying on the Zhang family's information, locking the general scope, and investigating bit by bit."

"And my body comes from the 'Huangcheng Division'. Just in case, the 'Huangcheng Division' imposed various restrictions. In the early years, I relied on the so-called cheap 'Master' to untie it. Using the inheritance of the cheap 'Master' teachings in exchange for living space, but this method cannot be stable for a lifetime after all, after ten years, the Imperial City Secretary has become suspicious."

"They started testing me."

"They also suspect that the master of the 'Longevity Tao' is really dead."

"It's always been me playing tricks."

"That's why I had no choice but to summon the 'Eight Great Altar Masters of the Dao of Longevity' here, in order to divert the disaster to the east—to draw the attention of the Imperial City Secretary to the daughter of the 'Sword Immortal'."

The young master of the Zhang family stood up and cupped his fists to express his apology.

Of course, it's not empty talk.

The young master of the Zhang family pushed the [treasure card] of [Resurrecting the dead] to Goethe.

This is an apology.

"Oh, is that so?"

Goethe glanced at the young master of the Zhang family.

Immediately, the young master of the Zhang family felt as though struck by lightning.

The body trembled unconsciously.

He waved his hands in fear.

"It really is."

"It's nothing more than I want the golden cicada to get out of its shell."

"Are you relying on the ship on the pier?"

Goethe continued to ask.

"Brother Mo, do you know?"

The young master of the Zhang family was taken aback.

Unlike the previous half-truths and half-false, this time I was really a little confused.

You know, that ship was carefully prepared by him three years ago.

I think I don't know anyone.

It is also his confidence.

But now, it was discovered by a person who met for the first time.

This is really incredible.

"Brother Zhang, if you are relying on that ship to escape, I advise you not to go. As long as you go, you will be in a trap—there has long been targeted by the people of the 'Huangcheng Division'."

Goethe said.

Before, he wondered why there were so many 'foreigners' going to the pier.

And strangely, an encirclement circle was formed around a seemingly inconspicuous ship.

He didn't understand the mystery until he heard the young master of the Zhang family's words.

"It's over! It's over!"

"Death is inevitable after all!"

The young master of the Zhang family muttered to himself.

But at this time, Goethe laughed and said softly.

"How about lending me the position of Taoist Master of the Tao of Longevity?"

The young master of the Zhang family blinked.

He looked at Goethe and asked tentatively——

"Brother Mo, do you want to?"
