"It's just that I'm not as lucky as you. I came here many years earlier than you, but I still haven't made any progress.
In the early years, I worked hard for this all the time. I believed that as long as I achieved this goal, I could return to my hometown and see my family and friends again.
In order to liberate this fairy who was sealed in Gaishi Mountain, I also put in many years of hard work and established a business empire to support the expenses I spent to break the seal.
But no matter how hard I tried, no matter how all-round I developed, no matter how hard I racked my brains, facing failure again and again, I gradually became discouraged.
Over the years, I have actually gradually given up. I no longer work day and night for this, and I occasionally begin to enjoy life here.
Although it is not my home, after getting used to it, I found that this kind of life is actually not bad.
During this process, I also began to try out this world's unique practice system and achieved considerable success.
Gradually, I began to regard this place as my home. When I think about it carefully, I have actually stayed here for much longer than in my original world.
But your presence awakened my original passion.
I noticed that the seal of Gaishi Mountain was loosened and the fairy in the seal disappeared. The excitement I felt at that moment is hard for you who have only been here for a short time to understand.
So, I tried every possible means to find you.
Because I want to see the end of this mission with my own eyes and make up for the regret in my heart.
So please let me join you, let me be a witness, and see together what the end of our destiny will be! "
Watching the transformation of Dong Wang Gong from hesitant to eloquent, and listening to his inspiring speech, Scythe and the performers felt emotional, but also a little scared.
If Jiang Lu had not made an effort to break the seal of Gaishi Mountain, then the other party’s past might have been their future.
Aren’t they now beginning to follow each other’s old path of cultivation?
What's the difference?
Perhaps the only difference is that the other party has been fighting alone, while they are three companions who can trust each other.
Of course, this experience was adapted by Jiang Lu based on their real situation, in order to allow the two people who are both "destined people" to empathize with each other. Now it seems that the effect is very good.
"Don't you have any companions?" Scythe suddenly asked with some emotion.
“No.” Dong Wanggong smiled bitterly and shook his head: “I have always been alone, maybe there will be friends, family and so on in the future.”
“After this, do you plan to go back?” the performer also asked, “Back to your original world.”
Dong Wanggong opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He was lost in thought for a few seconds before he smiled and said with relief, "No, I won't go back. They...are probably no longer in this world. In fact, if it weren't for me practicing the immortal arts of this world, I would have long been a dried bone in a tomb."
His performance impressed Sickle and the performers. In front of this pig-killing dish tailor-made by Jiang Lu, even though they were wary of Dong Wanggong at the beginning, when faced with the situation that Dong Wanggong had experienced, which was similar to theirs, they gradually let down their guard and even developed a sense of identification with Dong Wanggong.
"To be honest, we almost followed in your footsteps." Scythe sighed.
"It's a blessing." Dong Wanggong smiled with a vicissitudes of life: "That period was very difficult to endure. Not everyone can survive it."
"My name is Xu Xing, what's your name?" The performer sincerely said his real name.
Dong Wanggong thought for a moment and said, "Just call me Asan."
Scythe followed closely behind and stretched out his hand: "Yang Yuanzheng."
Dong Wanggong held his hand and shook it, and everything was said without words.
However, Duke Dong did not relax just because he easily gained the approval of the two, because Jin Yao had not yet expressed her opinion.
And the most fundamental purpose of all he said and acted out was for Jin Yao. As for the sickle and the performers' attitudes, he didn't care much.
But Jin Yao obviously would not have the same feelings about the background story of Dong Wanggong as the two of them. She would only think rationally. She always followed her intuition and felt that this guy was very suspicious.
However, seeing that everyone seemed to have accepted this outsider, Jin Yao couldn't be too forceful. She could only try to get something really useful out of them instead of playing the emotional card.
"If I'm not mistaken, you have already achieved immortality, right?"
As soon as she opened her mouth, she made a heavy speculation.
But to her surprise, Dong Wanggong did not hide anything, but admitted openly: "Yes, I was lucky enough to survive the disaster, otherwise I would not have promised Brother Jiang that I could protect you all the way.
But how did you figure that out?"
"Because Jiang Lu just summoned you through a sacrificial ritual, right?" Jin Yao asked back.
"So that's how it is." Dong Wanggong suddenly realized.
Only immortals are qualified to enjoy incense and be worshipped. If people who are not immortals are worshipped, it will shorten their lifespan. Not only will they not enjoy any benefits, but if their wish power is too strong and their fate cannot suppress it, they may even die suddenly on the spot.
"You knew it a long time ago, right?" Jin Yao looked at Jiang Lu.
Jiang Lu reacted and could only scratch his head awkwardly: "Yes, it is always better to have an immortal as a bodyguard."
Jin Yao nodded and said nothing more.
But judging from her appearance, she should have accepted Dong Wanggong's companionship.
"Okay, since everyone has no objection to his joining, let's go!" Hong Yi clapped his hands and began the MVP calculation for the winner.
But this made Dong Wanggong a little confused.
"Are you going too?"
Jiang Lu took Dong Wanggong in his arms and warned him quietly not to waste his time: "If the plan changes, don't worry about it."
"Okay..." Although Dong Wanggong didn't understand the reason, he had to let it go under the pressure of Jiang Lu.
So, after Dong Wanggong wiped out the traces of the evil sacrifice to ensure that it would not be discovered by those with ulterior motives and left a handle, the few of them set off and headed towards Kunlun Mountain...
......
"No, brother-in-law, isn't it a bit cheap to go like this?"
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Kunlun Mountain is so far away. It's too tiring to walk there. I'm afraid my E'e will get tired if I ride her there. Now that there is such a convenient way, why not take advantage of it?"
Unable to stand the smell of feet in the green train carriage, Dong Wanggong and Jiang Lu came to the interface between the two carriages and squatted there to smoke.
At this time, Jiang Lu's legs had been cured by Dong Wanggong, so he could not only squat normally, but he could even deliberately stretch his legs to stop the hawkers' cries of "Beer, drinks, mineral water, peanuts, melon seeds, and eight-treasure porridge, please make way!" and buy two bags of melon seeds to start cracking.
The carriage in front of them was the carriage that provided power for the train. Jiang Lu took a look inside through the round glass window and saw a dozen shirtless muscular men, steaming all over, meditating and practicing Qigong. The spiritual energy was sent into the power unit through the pipes on their skulls.
After flicking off the ash from his cigarette, Jiang Lu said with regret, "These people, in novels, would be the high-ranking officials who bring disaster to the region and bully others. But now they can only do this kind of hard labor, and it's not easy to make money."
"What are you doing? In this era of rule of law, no matter how powerful your cultivation is, you will still be supervised by the Three Pure Ones. It's not the time when you can act tyrannically by relying on your cultivation."
Dong Wanggong stood up, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with his foot: "Isn't this good? At least there won't be fighting all day long. When gods fight, it is ordinary people who suffer in the end. Is there anything better than worrying about losing your life at any time?"
"That's right." Jiang Lu nodded in agreement, then changed the subject and sighed, "It's still four days before the next transfer. This train is so hard to endure."
"Didn't you just say that taking the train is good? Now you're complaining about it?"
Dong Wanggong complained:
"You change your attitude too quickly."
"To say it's good is just to compare it to other methods. It's just a tall one among short ones." Jiang Lu shrugged: "I just didn't expect this hard seat to be so difficult to sit on."
"Then why don't you buy a sleeper?"
"You think I don't want to buy it? Why don't you ask yourself why you only have so little money on you, you idiot!"
Upon hearing this, Dong Wanggong lowered his head in shame and said, "Mine."
Chapter 322 Anchor Jiang Lu
Yes, up to now, all of Jiang Lu’s expenses have been borne by Dong Wanggong.
If they had not stayed in the most luxurious suite in the hotel the day before, today, not to mention the sleeper berths, it would have been entirely possible for them to ride in a chariot powered by more powerful monks.
It can only be said that man’s calculation is not as good as God’s calculation.
"But I still don't understand. It's just a high-speed train, why is it called a spirited train?" Jiang Lu complained.
"Because it is driven by spiritual power, it is called the spiritual car." Dong Wanggong explained.
"Why not just call a hearse?"
"Not auspicious."
"No problem."
After smoking, the two returned to their carriage from the connection.
Although it was a small green train with hard seats in a rather shabby environment, the only good news was that the group's seats were not disrupted.
Six people just happened to occupy two three-person seats facing each other.
There were some convenience foods on the small table in the middle of the three-seater seat. These were their dry food on the train.
Jiang Lu had just returned to his seat and was thinking about finding some topics to get everyone familiar with each other as quickly as possible, but he didn't expect something in his pocket to suddenly vibrate.
He took out something from his pocket and remembered that he was carrying the latest model of road-clearing mobile phone that he had received from the Law Enforcement Bureau along with his sportswear.
Qingdao means the Three Pure Ones have their own way. Jiang Lu believes that this is a Huawei phone that belongs to the Three Pure Ones world.
The vibration was because someone called, and the caller ID showed Director Ye's phone number, which had been saved when Jiang Lu was given the phone.
Without thinking too much, Jiang Lu answered the phone.
"Wai Wai Wai Wai?"
"Is that Xiao Jiang?" Director Ye asked on the other end.
Jiang Lu thought for a moment and said, "It's not Little Jiang, it's Big Jiang."
"......" Director Ye was silent for a moment: "Stop making trouble, I'm talking to you about serious matters."
"You tell me." Jiang Lu said seriously. Although the other party hadn't said what the matter was, he could probably guess it.
As expected, Director Ye then said seriously: "The leader you arrested has escaped from prison."
"Ah?" Jiang Lu pretended to be surprised: "Then...what should I do? I'm already on my way to Kunlun Mountain."
"Don't worry, this won't affect your trip to Kunlun Mountain. Just do what you need to do and don't make it public yet."
Director Ye lowered his voice and said, "Preliminary judgment is that the earthquake earlier damaged the monitoring room, which gave him an opportunity to take advantage of. He should not be able to run far. I have already sent someone to look for him."
"So what do you mean by calling me...?"
"I want you to be more restrained when you are broadcasting live, and not be so high-profile."
Director Ye's tone revealed a little bit of annoyance:
"If this hadn't happened, you can be as high-profile as you want, but now it's like this. I'm worried that if you're too high-profile, someone will come to us to inquire about the progress of the interrogation, or even demand the release of the suspect's situation, and we won't be able to give an explanation."
