Chapter 136 The Immortal Binding Rope Displays Its Power, Deng Jiu Gong Takes Command!
After Shen Gongbao defected from the Chan Sect, he switched allegiance to the Jie Sect. With his silver tongue, he thrived in the Jie Sect.
Shen Gongbao's cultivation level did not reach the Xuanxian realm; he only reached the Tianxian realm. After joining the Jiejiao sect, he began to call on his friends and invite the sect's disciples to come down the mountain to face the tribulation.
Hanzhi Fairy and Caiyun Fairy were lured down the mountain by Shen Gongbao to fight against the disciples of the Chan Sect.
Shen Gongbao and Jiang Ziya were both chosen by Heaven to bestow titles upon the gods. One was in the open, and the other was in the shadows. Only through their combined efforts could the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods be accomplished.
The secrets of this matter were predetermined, for it is the will of Heaven!
After Grand Tutor Wen's death, Shen Gongbao arrived in Chaoge.
With his silver tongue, Shen Gongbao successfully fooled Emperor Xin, and then transformed himself into the Grand Preceptor of the Shang Dynasty, taking over Wen Zhong's job.
Now that Shen Gongbao has arrived, Deng Jiugong dares not be negligent. A moment later, a messenger led Shen Gongbao inside, and Deng Jiugong, along with his family, hurriedly went to pay his respects.
"The Imperial Advisor has arrived; I have failed to greet you properly!"
"Please forgive me, please forgive me!"
Deng Jiugong bowed, his family members stood beside him, and not far away, Kong Xuan stood alone and proud.
"You're too kind, General!"
"I am but a recluse in the mountains; why should we, as monks, concern ourselves with such empty formalities!"
Shen Gongbao was eloquent and charming, and his interactions with people were like a gentle spring breeze. He was a very shrewd and diplomatic person, and he was extremely good at dealing with people. He would never dare to be hostile to Deng Jiugong.
"Has the Imperial Preceptor come here with any secret orders?"
Deng Jiugong looked at Shen Gongbao, thinking that Emperor Xin had issued a secret order and sent Shen Gongbao to deliver the message.
"The old general has misunderstood!"
"His Majesty's secret order has already been issued."
"The court intends to appoint the old general as the Grand Marshal to lead the campaign against Zhou, in charge of all military and political affairs!"
"I have come here today to recommend a worthy candidate to the general, so that he may assist in this important matter!"
As the saying goes, you can't make a sale by rushing things.
But times have changed, and Shen Gongbao's move was undoubtedly a timely help for Deng Jiugong.
"The Imperial Advisor's righteousness is truly admirable!"
"Whom has the Imperial Advisor recommended?"
Deng Jiugong said that he knew Shen Gongbao had a wide circle of friends and was a figure of immortality. If he could get Shen Gongbao's help, he could look forward to conquering Zhou in the future!
"I have a junior disciple who has been cultivating in seclusion in the mountains for over a hundred years. He possesses considerable Taoist skills and has also mastered martial arts. I believe he is quite capable of great use!"
"I heard that the old general is in command, so I recommended him to him, hoping to secure a future for him."
Shen Gongbao immediately spoke up and named the person who had come.
"So he's the Imperial Advisor's nephew!"
"I wonder what kind of Taoist arts he knows, what kind of supernatural powers he can use, and what kind of martial arts he is proficient in?"
After hearing this, Deng Jiugong realized that Shen Gongbao had recommended someone with connections, and he didn't know what kind of martial arts skills Tu Xingsun possessed.
Adhering to the principle of "better to have none than to have something bad," Deng Jiu made it clear that he didn't want to take in a burden.
"My nephew is proficient in the Five Elements Escape Techniques, especially the method of traveling on land, which allows him to travel over a thousand miles a day."
"Moreover, he is also proficient in staff fighting; with his skills, he would be more than qualified to be a scout."
Shen Gongbao immediately spoke up, saying that intelligence work is of paramount importance in battles between two armies, and with such an extraordinary person, there would be no shortage of intelligence personnel in the future.
"I never knew such an extraordinary person existed in this world!"
"Since it is the Imperial Advisor who pleaded for this, then I will take him in and make him a scout in the army!"
Deng Jiugong relented, and out of respect for Shen Gongbao, he still did not turn away Tu Xingsun.
"Old General!"
"Don't underestimate my nephew!"
"My nephew is incredibly powerful. He also possesses a rare celestial treasure that allows him to capture people and objects."
"However, he is quite ugly and short, making him rather unattractive. If he were to lend his full support, I believe the Western Zhou region would surely be able to be successfully pacified!"
Shen Gongbao praised Tu Xingsun to the skies, and upon hearing that Tu Xingsun possessed a priceless treasure, Deng Jiugong's expression immediately changed, and even his smile became exceptionally sincere.
"I see!"
"Where is your nephew?"
Deng Jiugong's expression changed drastically, and he asked eagerly. He was completely different from before.
"Ahem!"
"Nephew, why aren't you coming out?"
Shen Gongbao immediately spoke, and a wisp of green smoke appeared beside Deng Chanyu, from which a short figure emerged, startling Deng Chanyu. Cola Novels, your portable library, contains more than ten thousand volumes.
"What a beautiful young lady!"
Tu Xingsun had been lurking underground and had caught a glimpse of plenty of spring scenery, which is why he transformed into a pervert.
"Is this short fellow the Imperial Advisor's nephew?"
Tu Xingsun's actions were bold and frivolous, and he was oblivious to his own lewd expression, which immediately angered several people.
"Nephew, nephew!"
"Hurry up and come over to pay your respects, lest you be impolite and offend the lady; that would be unseemly!"
Shen Gongbao couldn't help but rub his forehead. He never expected Tu Xingsun to be such a person, truly hopeless. This time, he had completely lost face.
"You shorty, how utterly rude!"
As Deng Jiugong's eldest son, Deng Xiu immediately stood in front of Deng Chanyu and reprimanded Tu Xingsun.
"A tiny boy?"
"A tiny boy?"
"How dare you insult me?"
Tu Xingsun hated it when people talked about his height. Suddenly, a yellow light flashed in his hand, and a rope covered with Taoist talismans appeared, binding Deng Xiu tightly so that he could not move.
"Damn it, what kind of magic weapon is this now?"
Deng Xiu was tied up, and then she started to struggle again.
But the more Deng Xiu struggled, the tighter the rope binding her became. After struggling for a while, she was so tightly bound that she kept groaning!
"No, no, you mustn't!"
"Your Excellency, please put in a good word for me and persuade this young hero to release my son!"
Upon seeing this scene, Deng Jiugong also became anxious.
"You lecherous scoundrel, how utterly rude!"
"Let my brother go right now!"
Deng Chanyu parted her red lips slightly and immediately summoned the five-colored stones again, as if she were ready to fight at the slightest provocation.
"what?"
"So it's my brother-in-law!"
Tu Xingsun then realized the enormity of his mistake. He quickly retrieved the Immortal Binding Rope and put on a forced smile.
"Who's your brother-in-law?!"
Deng Xiu suffered a great loss and said angrily.
This Immortal Rope is incredibly versatile and is a rare and precious treasure of the immortals, ranking among the acquired spiritual treasures.
Once this rope is activated, it can grab people and objects, controlled by the loosening and tightening spells, and can be used at will.
Deng Xiu suffered greatly from this. After he was released, he felt weak and powerless, and he was unable to move.
"Nephew/Grandson!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Shen Gongbao pulled Tu Xingsun aside and finally managed to fool Deng Jiugong, but he didn't want to ruin things.
Tu Xingsun angered everyone as soon as he arrived, and Shen Gongbao was also afraid that Deng Jiugong would not accept Tu Xingsun.
"Uncle-Master!"
"Are you making fun of me?"
"Before we came down the mountain, you said you wanted to find me a marriage partner. How can they deny it?"
Tu Xingsun pointed at Deng Jiugong and spoke.
"Nephew/Grandson!"
"Haste makes waste."
"Since this is your first meeting, how could Deng Jiugong easily agree to marry his daughter to you? He has no connection with you whatsoever, so he'll have to put you to the test."
"I mentioned it on the mountain: Deng Chanyu is incredibly beautiful, more charming than any flower, comparable to a celestial maiden. Many men have come to propose marriage to Deng Jiugong!"
"Now that you've joined the army, if you achieve great merit and gain General Deng's favor, he might be so pleased that he'll marry Deng Chanyu to you!"
"Being near the water tower, you get the moon first; don't let my efforts go to waste, you must persevere."
"When a family has a daughter, many families will seek her out. After a new son-in-law comes to live with the family, the father-in-law will observe him for several years!"
"You mustn't ruin this important matter of your marriage!"
Shen Gongbao's words were a mix of cajoling and threats, both enticing and intimidating, which terrified Tu Xingsun, whose facial expressions kept changing.
"I see!"
"If it weren't for my martial uncle's reminder, I would have almost ruined everything. So these were all tests for me?"
Tu Xingsun firmly believed this; he and Deng Chanyu were destined for each other, and he fell in love at first sight.
Now, Tu Xingsun only wants to perform well in front of Deng Jiugong so that he can win the heart of the beauty as soon as possible.
"You little dwarf, you actually have some skill!"
Deng Chanyu looked at Tu Xingsun. Tu Xingsun was short and ugly, but upon closer inspection, he had a somewhat simple and unrestrained manner.
Because Deng Chanyu and Tu Xingsun were a match made in heaven, Deng Chanyu did not look down on Tu Xingsun. On the contrary, she became very interested in his supernatural abilities.
