Chapter 167

  No mention of Fa Hai traveling the world, arrived at Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang to hang a plaque, only talking about Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian. Xu Xian was young and vigorous, opened the Group Treasure Meeting in the Three Emperors' meeting, originally Xu Xian's family had always been ordinary civilians, where did they get the treasured items that could be displayed? Coincidentally, Xiao Qing was a good thing, also an old thief, so he stole several precious items from a government official's home in Hangzhou and gave them to Xu Xian to display his treasures.

  This Xian didn't know what was going on, this local treasure appeared locally, isn't that directly telling people "The treasure is mine, I stole it!"

  Then the East Window case broke out, and Xu Xian was taken into custody by the government. Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing had to rush around to rescue Xu Xian. Originally, according to Xiaoqing's personality, it would be "directly rob the prison, rescue Xu Xian and leave! See who dares to make things difficult for my sister!", but she was stopped by Bai Suzhen, "Sister, if we go on like this, things will get bigger and bigger! Moreover, officials are not our fellow practitioners, they can't enter the mountain to learn Taoism."

  Finally spent a lot of money to bribe, and Xu Xian was sentenced to exile - still exiled on this road. The place of exile is not far away, just to Suzhou City.

  Bo Fu is currently lingering in Bianjing, spending his nights in brothels and taverns, and his days watching fortune tellers, gamblers, and fighters, coming and going from the green buildings and gambling houses. Although Bo Fu is dissolute, he has never given up on the matter of Bai Niangniang, always paying attention to Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen's life, "Anyway, I have plenty of time, repaying kindness is a good thing, let that Bai Niangniang follow Xu Xian for a few days as a divine couple... Hmm? So it seems that I am indeed a good demon after all."

  He sometimes went out of Bianjing to tread the green, and on this day he came idle and bored, watching the passersby on the roadside. As he watched, Bo Fu's eyebrows furrowed: "I always feel like something is off? What is it?" He began to think.

  "Right! I remember! As a high-class person who throws away thousands of gold, it's too humiliating to enter and leave on foot. I should go find a mount!" With that thought, Bo Fu immediately went to the Bianjing Mule and Horse Market to buy a horse.

  The Northern Song Dynasty lost the sixteen states of Yan and Yun, where horses were raised, so the price of horses in the Northern Song Dynasty was high, and good horses were rare. Ba Fu didn't care - he was a great demon after all, and one horse couldn't stump him.

  "Boss! How much is this horse?"

  "Four hundred taels. This official, this horse is a good ride."

  "This short and ugly horse actually costs 400 taels! The Northern Song is indeed a tragedy." Bo Fu thought to himself as he tossed out a large piece of gold to pay the price. He led the horse to the outskirts of Bianjing City, flipped his hand to take out a marble-sized pellet and stuffed it into the horse's mouth, then pointed at the horse's forehead with one finger, while his other hand swept away the array that had been set up to seal off any aura from leaking out.

  This horse was originally only about four feet tall, similar to a large mule, and according to later classification, it could only be used as a draft horse or workhorse, and couldn't be ridden. However, during the Northern Song dynasty, horses were scarce, and ordinary people could only buy this type of horse. Larger horses were all military horses, and their prices were exorbitant.

  Now that Bo Fu had fed it elixir and used his demonic powers to forcibly open up its meridians, he was essentially transforming this horse into a demon. Bo Fu's abilities were extraordinary, but with just a hint of demonic power infused into the horse, it immediately underwent a huge transformation: its originally mottled coat began to turn black and shiny, its mane grew wildly, and in an instant, it had grown long enough to spread out on both sides and cover half of its neck. However, the demonic energy coursing through its body made its mane seem like black flames that stood on end and danced about.

  The horse's body began to emit loud cracking sounds as its bones snapped and reformed, and a thick, wild aura began to emanate from it. Its body grew larger and larger, finally reaching a height of six feet at the shoulder. Its coat was glossy black, and its eyes gleamed with intelligence, but had turned a deep red.

  The horse's body emitted a heavy, demonic aura that surpassed even that of Xiao Qing in his prime - Bo Fu's single thread of demonic energy had saved this demon horse thousands of years of bitter cultivation. Bo Fu patted the horse's head, and it immediately retracted its aura, seeming like an ordinary horse once again. However, it spoke in a human voice: "Thank you, sir, for transforming me!"

  "A certain family will have you as their mount in this life, after I leave, the five lakes and four seas are yours to roam freely."

  "The old master wants the little demon to be his mount, it's the little demon's good fortune! How dare he not obey!"

  Ba Fu's body in this world was still the same as it was in his original world, but he had grown to be about 1.9 meters tall, which made him look quite suitable riding on this large horse. Ba Fu saw that the original horse equipment were no longer usable, so he casually took out some materials and melted them with his Samadhi True Fire to forge a new set of horse equipment. The horse demon had already known when Ba Fu pointed at it that this old man was a top-notch great demon, so seeing him casually emit Samadhi True Fire didn't surprise it one bit.

  Bo Fu put on the horse's harness and mounted it, starting to return to Bianjing City. Before entering the city gate, people on the road who saw this horse were stunned.

  "Is there really such a great horse in the world?! I'm afraid even if it were a golden horse as tall as myself, it would still be impossible to exchange!"

  The little soldier at the gate was stunned, and many people in the doorway had already heard the news and rushed over to see, including several men wearing official uniforms and military clothes.

  "This fellow, I'll give you 50,000 coins! Are you willing to sell this horse to me?" a man shouted.

  As soon as someone spoke up, someone immediately called out a price: "Sixty thousand taels! I'll give sixty thousand taels!"

  "Eighty thousand yen!"

  "Ten thousand taels! Please let your esteemed family's stallion mate with our humble household's mare!"

  The matter even shocked the Kaifeng government, and the officials dispersed the crowd. Bo Fu didn't respond, but looked at it as if something was not quite right. "Ah! I forgot, this tall horse would be said to be 'not a minister's ride...' and other nonsense. Although I don't care about being an official in the Song Dynasty, coming straight out is ultimately not interesting." He patted the horse's neck, and the black horse let out a long whinny, its four hooves stirring up the wind. With one turn of its body, it ran out of the Bianjing city gate. The people behind couldn't react in time, and when they came to their senses, all they could see was a trail of smoke.

  The black horse ran to Zhenjiang in just one day and night, the demon horse was not an ordinary thousand-mile horse, a distance of several thousand miles could be reached in just one day and night. If Bo Yu didn't restrain the demon horse, "I want to see the scenery! Run slower!" I estimate it would take only a few hours to reach Zhenjiang.

  "Jinshan Temple?! It seems that the White-bearded Fahai is indeed here." Baifu let the horse demon transform back into its original useless form, and thought to himself as he looked at the temple sign.

  He walked into the temple and looked around, "Master Fahai, Master Fahai. The abbot is calling you!" A little monk ran over and shouted.

  "What? Isn't Fahai the abbot of Jinshan Temple?" Bo Fu turned his head to look.

  "I'm going!! Isn't this Zhao Wenzhuo!!! He's Fa Hai?! Hong Jun, your moral integrity is all over the floor! Hahaha, this makes the Legend of the White Snake interesting!!!"

  Bo Fu looked at Fa Hai and was extremely surprised, "Look at Fa Hai's magical powers...... Oh oh oh! His cultivation is only that of a Luohan fruit, far inferior to Guanyin and Dizang, but...... his Buddha power and combat strength? Very good, a monk who can really fight! Alright, now we have an action-packed blockbuster to watch! I won't be bored anymore!"

  At the same time in Liao State, Empress Dowager Xiao decided to launch a war against Northern Song, "Our great Liao should conquer the Southern Dynasty! Force them to increase annual tribute!"

  "General Xiao Tian Suo once received a special transmission from an extraordinary person, having the 'Tian Men Zhen' method to conquer Song! He should be the commander-in-chief for this expedition!"

  The Liao State mobilized 300,000 troops to march south, and the Song Dynasty was in a state of chaos. At this time, in the southern city of Suzhou, Xu Xian had been exiled here and decided to resume his old career - opening a pharmacy.
