Peerless Taoist

Zhou Hao was a scholar from the True Sect Era. He had been the editor of the Hanlin Academy, the head of the Ministry of Rites, the general of the Pingliang Pass, and so on. When he returned to his hometown, he would teach, and his disciples were as numerous as clouds.    

He was first a civil servant, then a general, and had experienced countless hardships.    

Zhou Hao's reputation on Dingan Star was extremely high.    

Although the wealthy merchants had many hatchet men, they really didn't dare to use force on Zhou Hao.    

"You are the one who built the building for War God's sacrifice this time?" Seeing the rich merchant come over, Zhou Hao angrily shouted.    

The rich merchant smiled and said, "I am. Old mister Zhou, you are not teaching in the academy, why did you come here?"    

"The academy taught the holy and virtuous books. Now that there are traitors openly appearing in front of me, how can I sit by and do nothing!" Although Zhou Hao was old, his voice was abnormally loud and clear.    

The wealthy merchant frowned. "Old Mister Zhou, what do you mean?"    

"The Tang invaded Great Yu's territory. He is our enemy, so why is he worshipping the gods of the Tang here?" Zhou Hao shouted angrily.    

The rich merchant said, "The divine ability does not differentiate between the realms. Sir, your mind is too rotten. We should be tolerant of them."    

Zhou Hao retorted: "Although this old man is old, my heart is not old If you cultivate the Tang Dynasty Cultivation Methods, this old man will not object. Even if you are wearing a Tang suit, I will not say anything. "    

" But, do you know what the War God Sacrificial Ritual is? "    

"After every war, the Tang army will set up the War God's Altar to comfort the dead soldiers. This is a ritual for the enemy. Let me ask you, what right do you have to hold such a ritual in Great Yu's territory? "    

Zhou Hao disapproved. "That just means that Great Tang treats its soldiers seriously, and it is worth us reflecting and learning from them."    

"You!"    

Zhou Hao trembled in anger. "Bastard! Don't tell me you don't know that the Tang Army slaughtered Fan City? You want to hold a sacrificial ceremony for the enemy gods on the land where our soldiers are buried?"    

Speaking up to this point, Zhou Hao's face suddenly turned red and he fainted from anger.    

The disciples beside him turned pale with fright and hurriedly went up to support Zhou Hao.    

But the rich merchant sneered and said, "This is what makes you anxious? Just like that?"    

Under the furious gazes of the academy's disciples, he swaggered away.    

However, right at this time, a wave of chaos once again appeared in the distant crowd.    

"What's going on now?!" The merchant was furious and shouted loudly.    

A servant ran over in a hurry, his face pale. "Master... it's bad, the Tang army is charging over!"    

"What!?" The rich merchant was shocked.    

Didn't the Tang army retreat?    

Why would they come at this time?    

Before he could react, a group of Tang soldiers rushed into the crowd and separated the crowd.    

Countless Tang warships appeared in everyone's sight.    

Everyone panicked. The streets were suddenly crowded and trampled. They could no longer care about the God of War Altar and ran for their lives.    

Groups of Tang soldiers appeared on the streets.    

The expression of the rich merchant changed, but he quickly recovered.    

He jogged all the way to the Tang Army camp, knelt on the ground, and shouted, "Welcome the King's Army!"    

A young Taoist priest walked out of the Tang army.    

He was Li Mi, who Lu Yu had been chasing!    

Li Mi's face was pale. He looked at the rich merchant and asked, "Are you in charge here?"    

The rich merchant quickly bowed and said, "Yes, I am."    

"Where is your Star Lord? Take me to see him." Li Mi said in a deep voice.    

The merchant smiled flatteringly: "The Star Lord is in my residence, if I hear that the King's Mentor has arrived, I will definitely be overjoyed"    

"You... are a Tang?" Li Mi frowned.    

The merchant raised his head and solemnly said, "This lowly one is not a Tang, but I wear Tang clothes every day and learn Tang etiquette. I have long since become a Tang spiritually! General, rest assured. As long as the Imperial Advisor needs it, I will tell him everything! "
