Chapter 103: Disciple Digging a Pit

Shen Xiu did not immediately respond, but sat cross-legged in front of Xu Hao, looking at him with a smile that was not a smile, and said in a strange tone:
"Xu Zhu, you are both the Eight-Part Dragon and the White Dragon Horse. Do you really not know what happened when you returned to the Western Heaven Lingshan in the nineteenth year of Zhen Guan?"
Xu Hao was speechless.
Before the celestial catastrophe, he might have had a firm grasp on the events of Journey to the West, with various opportunities to maneuver. It could even be one of his advantages!
However, when it comes to the events of Journey to the West during the celestial catastrophe, and even after the catastrophe, Xu Hao is completely clueless... Even if he wants to make something up, he can't do it in front of knowledgeable people...
Xu Hao smiled and pointed to his forehead, "I remember some things clearly, and I also remember the journey to the West clearly. But unfortunately, I don't remember the specific details of returning to the Ling Mountain in the West..."
"Well, it's better if you don't know, Xu Shi, as it's harmful to you," Shen Xiu said calmly.
"What do you mean?" Xu Hao felt like being scratched by a cat in his mind. He wanted to continue asking, but he was afraid of revealing his flaws.
However, from Shenxiu's reaction, it seems that this matter regarding the White Dragon Horse is "harmful to the Buddhist School" or maybe even a mistake, not a good thing that can be spoken of.
"Senior Master Shenxiu... Can you, um, reveal a little bit? To prevent me from making mistakes and causing any trouble..." Xu Hao whispered cautiously.
With a calm face, Shenxiu looked at Xu Hao until Xu Hao felt a chill in his heart, almost thinking that Shenxiu would not speak again.
But Shenxiu suddenly said:
"You died ... on the Western Ling Mountain, and it caused the anger of the Buddha. I can't remember anything else, I can only tell you this."
Xu Hao's mind was buzzing, but he had mentally prepared himself, so he could only force a smile and express his gratitude for this "bad news".
"Did Brother Shenxiu conceal my identity as the Dragon Slayer because of this regretful incident of death?"
"Well, Ning Long is a disciple of the Buddha, who detests evil. If he knew your identity, he would definitely confront you and engage in a fierce fight."
"That's why I have to keep it a secret from him and only you need to know. Be cautious and vigilant in the future."
Xu Haohan vaguely agreed and then whispered again:
"Then... the year-end Yulan Festival, Shengxiu Shixiong said I can attend and join... Won't that reveal my identity again?"
Shen Xiu obviously had considered this matter, and she put her palms together, saying, "When the time comes, I will surely explain to Mr. Xu how to go, so you don't need to worry."
Xu Hao forced a smile and skipped over this topic.
However, in my heart, there is a burst of sarcasm:
Red Child kills father and mother, being pursued by Bull Demon King...
White Dragon Horse mysteriously dies on the Mountain of Heavenly Spirits in the West, being blamed by Buddha...
What kind of awakened secondary self have I recruited here... Am I digging a hole for myself... I guess I won't have less trouble in the future...
Although, however... They are still two loyal disciples, and as their master, I can't just sit back and do nothing.
Can only say, take one step at a time, tread carefully...
Although Xu Hao's mind is filled with thoughts, with this conversation with Shen Xiu, he feels even more convinced that Shen Xiu is indeed a person of the Buddhist sect.
Otherwise, without the death of the White Dragon Horse in the West Heaven Mount Ling, Shenxiu could not have had such an understanding.
"Thank you, Xu donor, for coming to support Baojing Temple!" Shenxiu again clasped his hands in gratitude.
Xu Hao woke up from various thoughts and smiled:
"We help each other without being too polite. However, I just want to remind Brother Shenxiu that the Crown Prince has malicious intentions towards Baoping Temple, and there may be hidden dangers!"
Shen Xiu nodded and said, "This humble monk will not leave and will stay to guard here. With Xu as the host and Xiao Long as the nephew, we should be able to hold on. Thank you very much!"
Chitchatting for a while.
Xu Hao also couldn't stay any longer and took his leave.
After returning to the main hall of the Fengxian Division, he immediately summoned Zhang Shenjie and Fang Baiyu.
"Baiyu, how is your cultivation progressing?"
Fang Baiyu respectfully said, "Master, your disciple has already cultivated for nine hundred years, and is only one step away from advancing!"
"Hmm." Xu Hao nodded in satisfaction and said, "When I accumulate some more top-quality Heaven-Replenishing Stones, I will give you a boost and help you achieve a successful promotion."
"Thank you, Master!" Fang Baiyu expressed his gratitude and paid his respects.
Zhang Shenjie watched with envy but dared not say anything.
Xu Hao looked at his first disciple who had just started learning and smiled:
"I have already found the main body for you."
"Ah?!" Zhang Shenxie was overjoyed and couldn't believe it, with his mouth wide open.
Xu Hao seized this opportunity to immerse himself in the space of the Jade Cleansing Bottle and feel the essence of the wooden box.
As expected, after suppression, the ominous aura inside the wooden box has disappeared. However, it is unknown when it will appear again.
Sizzle~~~
With a soft sound, Xu Hao flicked his finger.
A strand of flame-like flickering, entangled with blood-red threads, fell into Zhang Shenxie's palm.
"This is the fragment of the main body weapon of your previous life's identity, the Fire Tip Spear Tassel," Xu Hao said with a smile.
Actually, without Xu Hao's reminder, Zhang Shenjie had already grasped the tassel in his hand, his face showing a look of great joy.
This strand, like a fiery blood thread in his palm, has spread up like a blazing line, forming a formidable "True Fire Spear".
"This object carries a dangerous and murderous aura!" Xu Hao continued in a low voice, "Be extremely careful when using it! If anything goes wrong or there is any danger, immediately let me suppress it! Remember, remember!"
Zhang Shenjie bowed down with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Master, for your great kindness and grace that I will never forget forever!"
Xu Hao also carefully observed Zhang Shenjie's expression and found nothing unusual. And there was no abnormal movement in the primordial spirit closely related to his Dantian.
It seems that both Zhang Shenjie and Fang Baiyu cannot recall the mistakes they made back then...
"Come forward." Xu Hao beckoned two disciples.
"Without the permission of your master, you two cannot contact your past friends and relatives. Because you two committed a major crime in your past lives! You must not easily reveal your identity, understood?"
Zhang Shenxie and Fang Baiyu were both taken aback when they saw Xu Haorui so serious, with a stern expression on his face, and they didn't dare to show any disobedience.
"We understand, Master! We will definitely follow your instructions!"
......
......
After settling two apprentices.
Xu Hao didn't have much to do, so he thought for a moment and decided to go to the Great Tang Ghost Market to see if he could sell some knowledge.
Buy the "Firepoint Spear Tassel" from Long Dragon Luo Han and completely empty his pockets...
Just do it!
Xu Hao went all the way to the Eastern District of Luozhou, entered the paper weaving shop, stepped onto the paper weaving boat, and once again passed through the dark fog, entering the canal of the ghost market.
Huh?
There are so many traders at the night market today?
Xu Hao took a look and saw quite a few suspicious figures along the road, bustling back and forth.
I've been here a few times before, but it's never been this lively tonight.
Strange... Xu Hao disembarked the ship and went searching for the familiar barefoot old shop, only to discover that the old shop was closed.
Helpless, he had no choice but to look at the adjacent shops, only to find that they were all closed.
Xu Hao felt strange and quickly caught a passing figure, politely asking, "Excuse me, why..."
Before finishing the sentence, the person shook off Xu Hao's hand and replied, "Everyone is going to Zhongyuan Bridge. Today is the 'gathering market,' and everyone is going!"
After speaking, the person hurriedly walked away.
"Set up a stall?" Xu Hao didn't hesitate and quickly ran towards the direction of the arch bridge as well.
