Even if a fisherman enters an infinite game, he still has to cast a rod

Chapter 319 The Mysterious Sinful Monk Kills the Emperor

When talking about his adopted son, Huo Hu's expression suddenly became a little strange.

It was an expression that was a mixture of confusion, sadness, and helplessness, even mixed with a bit of guilt, as if someone had been told some unspeakable secret.

But this strangeness only lasted for a moment, and he soon returned to normal.

"He's not too clingy."

Huo Hu smiled and explained, "Zi'an has been busy with other things recently, so he didn't come."

"That's it."

Jiang Yuan sensitively noticed that there seemed to be some problems between this father and son.

But seeing that Huo Hu didn't want to talk, he didn't ask any more questions and got down to business.

"Since you can open a channel in the game, can you open the channel directly to Jiang Jian? I have something to do with him." Jiang Yuan said.

"This won't work."

Huo Hu shook his head and said, "Now I can only open a small passage and sneak into the game."

He looked at Old Yu and said regretfully, "We could have opened a passage and taken you out, but Zi'an was in and out of the game too frequently some time ago, and the evil god patched the loophole, so now we can only wait until the game is over before leaving."

Jiang Yuan smiled: "It seems that little daddy has done a lot of good things during this period of time."

Huo Hu was helpless: "I hope he is just an ordinary child."

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the cold wind was blowing painfully. Huo Hu suggested: "It's not safe here, let's go to another place first."

But just as he finished his words, a flash of a knife appeared in his peripheral vision!

Bang---!

Huo Hu subconsciously raised his sword to block, thus avoiding the sudden attack.

"No! You can't go with him!" Zhong Liang picked up a spear and pointed it at Huo Hu, questioning:

"Huo Hu, what conspiracy are you and your monster son planning? Why didn't you come earlier or later? You showed up as soon as something happened in the Security Department. Are you trying to take advantage of the situation? Trick us into joining your cult!"

Huo Hu's expression froze, and he defended himself: "There is no conspiracy, the matter of Baimen Religion is with me..."

He wanted to say it had nothing to do with him.

But how could what his adopted son did have nothing to do with him? Huo Hu could only choose to remain silent.

What Zhongliang said makes sense.

Huo Zian and his Baimen sect openly poached the sect leader some time ago. Their behavior was bizarre and strange, witnessed by the whole world. Their level of evilness was quite similar to that of Jiang Yuan in the past.

But one thing is for another, Huo Hu is Yu Du's carefully selected vice-captain, and coupled with his previous experience, Jiang Yuan believes in his character, so he shrugged and said:

"Actually, I don't mind joining the Baimen Cult."

Huo Hu smiled bitterly: "Mr. Jiang, you are joking. Even if the Baimen Sect is under my control, I would not dare to let you join."

Zhong Liang: “…”

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Jiang Yuan, he looked at Yu Lao.

Yu Lao calmly asked him: "Have you ever saved my grandson?"

Zhong Liang shook his head: "No."

Yu Lao pointed at Huo Hu and said, "But he saved me before. So do you expect me to trust you, a fool, or the man who saved my grandson?"

Before this, Yu Sinian had cooperated with the First Team many times. Finally, when Yu Sinian got into trouble, Huo Hu also participated in the rescue. Although it was not successful, Old Yu had a very good impression of Huo Hu.

Zhong Liang was dumbfounded by the scolding. He was stunned for two seconds and suddenly became angry:

"Alright, alright! I'm stupid, making trouble, worrying about nothing! You guys can do whatever you want! I don't give a damn!"

If it were his army, anyone who disobeyed would have been beaten with a stick by now!

But no one here is his soldier.

General Zhong's kindness was treated as a disgrace. The more he thought about it, the more suffocated he became. He was so angry that he decided to leave with dignity and not suffer such humiliation here!

"It's okay. This matter in my family is really terrible. It's no wonder that the general doesn't believe it." Huo Hu tried to smooth things over as usual and quickly changed the topic to something useful:

"By the way, if you don't mind, I have some mango sago syrup here, which can speed up the healing of wounds."

As he spoke, he tapped his phone and took out a slender jade bottle from it, ready to heal the three people.

But when he looked up, he saw Jiang Yuan and the other two looking at him with a very strange expression.

Huo Hu felt a chill down his spine when he was stared at: "What...what happened?"

The three of them then remembered that since Huo Hu came in due to a bug and was not considered a player, his items and strength were not affected at all, so he was able to kill the leader of the guards in seconds!

How can this be Huo Hu!

This is a walking human-shaped living Bodhisattva!!!

"Brother, Brother Huo!"

Zhong Liang's expression suddenly changed. He hooked Huo Hu's shoulders and said affectionately, "From now on, you will be my close brother who will share weal and woe. Come on, give me some Yangzhi Ganlu. My back hurts so much!"

Huo Hu kindly said, "Let me help you apply it."

Zhong Liang politely declined: "How can I do that? No, no, oh, really no, I really can't do anything about Brother Huo, hahahaha!"

Jiang Yuan and Yu Lao: ...Damn it, where is your general's backbone?

But just when Huo Hu used a willow branch to get some sweet dew and was about to apply medicine to Zhong Liang --

"Catch the assassin!!!"

"Catch the assassin!!!"

"There's an assassin! Catch the assassin quickly!!!"

The shouting suddenly arose, coming from far away and getting closer.

Low horn sounds rang out rapidly from all directions of the palace.

The noise came suddenly and scared the four of them.

Realizing that they were here to arrest them, they quickly slipped away through a collapsed wall.

*

BANG---!

BANG---!

BANG---!

As night falls, it cannot cover the bustling Purple Gold City.

The four-man team found a remote palace and hid on the golden-tiled roof, taking refuge and healing their wounds.

With the support of Huo Hu's props, the injuries of the three people had already recovered by 70% to 80%, but there were guards patrolling below and they could not find a time to leave.

The huge palace was brightly lit, defenses were doubled, and guards from all over the place were searching in circles until midnight when things finally calmed down.

The four of them then came down and found a remote and narrow road where no one was, preparing to sneak into the palace at night and search for Jiang Jian.

Walking on the carpeted corridor, Jiang Yuan muttered quietly: "It was just a small palace that was blown up. Is it necessary to mobilize such a large force?"

Zhongliang complained: "Blowing up the palace is a small matter?"

Yu Lao pondered: "It is indeed strange. It is normal for people to die in the palace. Why would it cause such a big fuss? Could it be..."

"Shhh."

Huo Hu said vigilantly: "There is someone ahead."

The four of them quickly retreated, divided into two teams, and hid behind the huge incense burner beside the corridor.

The palace is lonely, dark and cold.

Even with the incense burner lit, it was still much colder than during the day.

The sad fragrant mist fell on the ground, as if it was filled with the souls of the dead who had died tragically.

After a while, an orange-yellow lantern lit up the darkness, and two slender figures slowly emerged from the end of the corridor.

They were two palace maids.

One of the young palace maids holding a lantern asked, "Sister, did something happen in the palace just now? Why did it take so long?"

The blind older maid was a little impatient: "You didn't even know about such a big incident in the palace?"

Young maid: "I have been working in the house all afternoon, I don't know anything."

"Okay, since you're pitiful, I'll tell you."

The blind maid put her hands on her hips and said proudly, relying on the information gap:

"A sinful monk attempted to assassinate your Majesty and almost chopped off his head!"

The young maid exclaimed: "What!?"

The guilty monk assassinated the emperor?

Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes. An ordinary NPC could not do such a thing. This bald...ah, no, the sinful monk was obviously played by a player.

And he's a pretty good player.

who can that be?

It’s really hard to guess.

The young palace maid quickly asked: "How could this happen? Who dares to assassinate the emperor!?"

"It's a long story."

The older palace maid said, “When His Majesty was selecting a concubine today, he heard that a saintly monk from the Southern Region was going to teach the magic, so he happily returned to Qianqing Palace.”

"I was working in the Qianqing Palace at the time, and I heard the monk tell His Majesty a lot about his experiences in reincarnation."

The young maid was curious: "What kind of news did you see?"

The older palace maid said, "The monk said that in his reincarnation, he had seen some happy and peaceful worlds where everyone was as fat as pigs, and he had also seen some cruel and horrible death zones where there was no one."

"He has seen gods and Buddhas everywhere in the heavens, and he has also been to hell to kill hungry ghosts and Asuras. He has eaten at the end of the universe, and he has also rung the bell at the beginning of time."

"He said that he had seen through everything and believed that everything in the world was just a false game."

"game?"

The young maid thought for a moment and retorted: "How is this possible? This is clearly real."

She pinched her face, making sure that she was in a real world with flesh and blood, parents who despised her, six naughty brothers, a pitifully low monthly salary, and endless hard labor. It couldn't be a game.

The older palace maid said unhappily, "How should I know? Anyway, the monk's words are so mysterious and strange."

"So His Majesty asked him, 'Since you have already comprehended everything, why are you still trapped in the cycle of reincarnation and unable to be reborn for hundreds of lifetimes?'"

“But the monk said that he was not trapped, but wanted to stay.”

The young maid was puzzled: "I want to stay? What are you going to do?"

The older maid said, "Yes, that's why His Majesty laughed and said that the monks were dishonest and had seen through everything. What was there for them to linger on?"

"The monk said that he had reincarnated a hundred times just to pursue one wish."

"What wish?"
