Chapter 501 The Holy Tower Returns
After the urban planet, Wang Zhifan immediately rushed to the Fengxuelou world, which was the fantasy world where the Wuji Sect was located, and landed in his own territory, Hutou Town.
He did not immediately rush to the Fengxue Building, the base camp in the east of the town, but observed whether his subordinates had conscientiously implemented the arrangements he made last time.
It turned out that Lao Hetou, Wu Xun, Yang Qingqing and others were quite efficient, and a big sign at the entrance of the town had been hung up.
At this moment, it is noon.
Under the clear sky, on the not-so-impressive one-foot-tall city gate, above the originally stingy three-character wooden sign of "Hutou Town", there has been a larger signboard with a calm and majestic word on it. The official script reads: Hometown of Humanities Hutou Tianzun.
This caused many passersby nearby to stop and look up, and some even pointed and commented.
"This young man, I think you are a local. Do you know the meaning of the newly added eight-character plaque on it?"
"Old man, this is the newly added Tianzun plaque in Fengxue Tower. It is said to be installed to commemorate the arrival of Tianzun Holy Tower a few days ago."
"Tianzun? Holy Tower?"
"Haha, daddy, you look like you just came from out of town.
This Tianzun is a deity worshiped by a new sect in the town. The recent arrival ceremony of the holy tower they held has caused quite a stir in the town! At least three thousand people said they had seen the Holy Tower with their own eyes!
It's a pity that I slept too hard that night, and by the time I found out, the holy tower in the sky had disappeared..."
"I see... This is the first time in my entire life that I have heard of such strange and wonderful things..."
Listening to the discussions of some tourists near the city gate, and noticing the curious glances of many visitors from out of town towards the new plaque, Wang Zhifan, who used invisible clothes to transform into a swordsman in green, couldn't help but nodded his head and thought to himself:
"Yes, yes, this plaque is not in vain, it has somewhat expanded the popularity of this deity!
However, we still need to add more firepower to make the title of the hometown of Tianzun in Hutou Town real and create a real sensation..."
Thinking in his mind, he walked to an uninhabited corner without leaving a trace and entered the invisible state. Through the power of faith, he contacted the leader of his sect in this base town, the fanatical believer village girl Liu Erya.
Compared to the desolate situation in which he once set up a street stall to preach on the streets of Pingwucheng, Liu Erya is now different from what he used to be, and he has gained a lot of the temperament of a sect leader.
At this moment, she was seen wearing simple cloth, sitting cross-legged in a high-gate courtyard beside the street, telling the story of Tianzun's kindness.
Hundreds of believers gathered around her, extending from the courtyard to outside the courtyard gate.
Further away on the streets or rooftops, there are some uninvited bodyguards secretly guarding them. They are the surveillance personnel arranged by Fengxue Tower.
"Everyone, the Heavenly Lord we believe in is extremely kind and great. He does not ask for sacrifices or rewards. As long as you show your sincerity, you can seek His protection in times of crisis..."
Liu Erya was speaking with enthusiasm and piety.
Suddenly, she, who had long been extremely proficient in these words, stopped, and her voice was interrupted.
But her expression became more pious, and she suddenly began to pray silently.
"What happened? The leader suddenly stopped preaching?"
"Isn't it time for prayer lessons?"
"Keep your voice down! Based on my last experience, the leader may have received an oracle from the Heavenly Lord!"
"What? Don't say anything! Don't disturb the leader!"
…
Seeing this, everyone in the compound quickly realized something after a brief period of confusion. Each one of them imitated Liu Erya, the leader of the Tianzun Sect, and began to pray. Even the Fengxue Tower personnel who were monitoring outside were on alert.
Finally, after a few breaths, the leader Liu Erya stopped praying silently, glanced at the hundreds of believers in front of him and said with extremely pious expressions:
"Everyone! I have just received the order from the Heavenly Envoy. Within half an hour at most, the Holy Tower will come here for the second time! Please be prepared to enter the tower to accept the test!"
As soon as she announced the news, the believers below who had just imitated her in praying silently were stunned, and then their expressions became fanatical. It could be said that they were gearing up and beaming with joy.
"Great! We can witness the miracles of Tianzun again!"
"Tianzun is so great! I never thought that I would be able to witness the arrival of our sect's holy tower so soon!"
"Your Majesty, God! I, the tiger-headed old man, will definitely pass the test this time!"
…
Amidst the cheers, not only the courtyard where everyone gathered became lively, but also some visible or hidden figures on the street outside the courtyard reacted and quickly conveyed this amazing news to different directions.
The first is the third floor of a nearby restaurant.
The young man in luxurious clothes, protected by many strong warriors around him, was drinking a small drink while looking expressionlessly at the poor performance of the local dancers on the high platform in front of him.
Suddenly one of his men walked up to him and whispered something in a low voice.
"Oh? I heard about the strange news about the Holy Tower here on the road yesterday. When I came here for a visit today, I happened to encounter the Holy Tower coming back to the world again? Interesting! Interesting!"
The richly clothed young man's expression became curious and doubtful as he spoke, clearly suspecting that this coincidence might be a conspiracy against him.
After all, his identity is extraordinary, and there are many people who want to kill him, otherwise there would be no need to have so many guards around him at all times.
"Master Marquis, if the so-called holy tower really appears, please let me explore it on behalf of the Marquis!
The villain will definitely catch the pretender and bring him before the Marquis to be punished! "
A tall and strong middle-aged guard leader with bright eyes came to the noble young man and bowed to ask for orders, as if he didn't want the noble young man to have some troublesome thoughts.
"Hehe... Ah Qiang, do you think that I am the one who is easily fooled?
It's just a tower, it's not worth it for me to investigate it personally!
Also, this is not my country, we are all strangers, there is no such thing as arresting people and waiting for punishment."
The noble young man shook his head helplessly and scolded his loyal guards slightly.
But anyone with a discerning eye could see that he had developed a strong interest in the upcoming arrival of the Holy Tower.
On the other side, in a dense forest outside Hutou Town, a man with excellent Qinggong quietly walked through the forest and came under a big tree.
He first observed the surroundings to confirm that there was no one else, then suddenly jumped onto the tree trunk and clapped his hands three times on a branch that was not special, causing the birds on the branch to fly away in surprise.
After a few breaths, a masked graceful figure slowly emerged from the depths of the dense forest. It seemed that she was a young woman who did not want to show her true face, and she had a strange and powerful aura.
"Lady Yaoji, I have received reliable information that the rumored Tianzun Holy Tower will descend on Hutou Town within half an hour."
The man who was good at Qinggong kung fu knelt down and leaned forward as soon as he saw the masked woman appear, respectfully reporting the important information he had obtained to the woman in front of him.
The masked woman raised her eyebrows and replied coldly:
"It's only been a few days since the Holy Tower descended again... and in the same place... I guess this Tianzun Church is closely related to the local sect Fengxue Tower...
Go back and continue to monitor, remember not to reveal your identity!
You must know that our sect has lost a lot of manpower in this area recently.
Now is the time to use people, you have to hold on a little longer."
The woman's words were emotionless, but the man kneeling in front of her was grateful and bowed his head repeatedly in response:
"Thank you for your concern, Lady Yaoji! I will definitely live up to your trust!"
Before the man knelt down and kowtowed to express his loyalty, the masked woman in front of him had disappeared without a trace, as if her appearance just now was just an illusion.
The sight returned to Hutou Town and Wang Zhifan.
At this time, he had already passed through the not-so-large urban area of Hutou Town, and after confirming that the order in the city was basically stable, he arrived at the entrance of Fengxue Tower on the low mountain in the east.
He just told the fanatic village girl Liu Erya that the Holy Pagoda was about to come again, in fact, to make a big news, to thoroughly establish the name of Hutou Town as the hometown of Tianzun, so as to further promote the reputation of Hutou Town and promote its future development.
And now he returned to Fengxue Tower to show his face and reduce the possibility of others linking Tianzun to him, even if this idea seems a bit redundant at present.
When he stepped into the lobby on the first floor of Fengxue Tower, he happened to see the guardians Wu Xun and Yang Qingqing coming down from the upstairs, discussing the important news they had just received.
"Junior sister, the disciple who was following said that the leader announced that the Holy Pagoda would come again within half an hour. Is there anything strange about this? Is Tianzun really so free?"
Wu Xun didn't seem to believe this information. He hesitated and touched his chin with one hand and muttered to the junior sister beside him.
"I also think that the Holy Pagoda came a little too quickly... and it was too coincidental. It's only been a day since the headmaster announced that this town is the hometown of the Heavenly Lord."
The expression on the face of the tall Yang Qingqing also showed that she was a little puzzled, but she continued:
"It doesn't matter. If the Holy Pagoda really comes again, it must be a good thing for us. If it doesn't come, it means..."
Before she finished her words, she suddenly noticed a tall figure stepping in from the door on the first floor in front. It was her headmaster Wang Zhifan who mysteriously disappeared every day, so she hurriedly greeted him and saluted:
"Hello, headmaster!"
"Hello, headmaster!"
Wu Xun on the side also hurriedly saluted and said hello to Wang Zhifan.
Like his junior sister, after some close contact, he felt that this peer in front of him with outstanding strength was unfathomable and maintained respect for him in his heart.
"Haha, no need to be polite, but what were you two discussing just now? It sounds like something good happened?"
Wang Zhifan then approached the two people, showing an interested look on his face, acting like he had just rushed back from another place.
This was a link he deliberately created in order to allow himself to join the event of the Holy Tower's arrival, thereby reducing the possibility of being suspected.
As expected, the two guardians were very cooperative in the face of his questions, and immediately told him about the news that the Holy Tower was about to return from the Tianzun Church in the town.
After all, they could only cooperate. The news that the Holy Tower was about to return, which was about to spread throughout Hutou Town, could not be concealed from the returning head. Lying would do them no good but harm.
"The Holy Tower in the rumors is coming to our Hutou Town again? I guess I came back just in time!
You two, let's go see the Holy Tower together later. This time I must find out the truth!"
Wang Zhifan showed his curiosity and excitement just right. He didn't act too hard to lose his status as the head of the sect, but also showed his curiosity as a young man. Wu Xun and Yang Qingqing in front of him didn't doubt it at all, thinking that he really came back by chance and encountered this big event.
Afterwards, they continued to discuss and planned to bring some other backbones in the building with them.
For example, Lao Hetou, who has a hostile attitude towards the Holy Tower.
However, he is currently checking accounts in the warehouse and may not have this time.
When Wang Zhifan and other people in Fengxuelou were ready to welcome the arrival of the Holy Tower, in addition to the mysterious noble man in the restaurant mentioned earlier and the suspected demon cult personnel outside the town, there were also more people in the town who were worried about the return of the Holy Tower. Full of expectations.
These include hundreds of believers around Liu Erya, a village girl who is a fanatical believer, tens of thousands of residents in the town who like to watch the excitement, some tourists from surrounding areas who visited Hutou Town because of the recent publicity, and people who heard about the holy pagoda elsewhere. People from other places who come here specifically to inquire can be improved.
All of these people were surprised and excited by the news of the Holy Tower's imminent return, thinking it was a great opportunity to see for themselves whether the rumors were true or not.
Some good people even sent messages to flying pigeons outside the town as soon as they got the news, inviting more people to come and watch the grand event.
It can be said that the entire Hutou Town has reached a peak of population concentration, and more and more people are coming, making this small town with a low reputation and an average population suddenly become crowded.
This situation was obviously beyond Wang Zhifan's expectations.
He originally just wanted to add fire to the title of the hometown of Wen Hutou Tianzun, but he never thought that the residents of this world were too enthusiastic and the fire was a little too big.
In fact, this is because Wang Zhifan underestimated the influence of the Holy Tower advent event in the surrounding area.
You know, the last time he placed the holy tower in Hutou Town was at night, without any news being spread in advance, and it attracted thousands of townspeople to watch.
Now that he has chosen to hold the Holy Tower Ceremony at noon with bright sunshine, or if the name of the Holy Tower is initially announced and attracts some tourists to Hutou Town, it will naturally increase the total number of viewers of this event by at least an order of magnitude.
At this moment, Wang Zhifan, together with Wu Xun, Yang Qingqing, and Lao Hetou, appeared on the roof next to the main street of Hutou Town.
On the street below them, there was an almost crowded and noisy scene, which brought many hidden dangers to public security management.
Therefore, they showed up here to personally suppress the situation, so as to avoid any trouble caused by too many people in their territory.
"Look! Our Hutou Town is still too small, with only tens of thousands of people crowded like this!
We must find a way to raise money to expand the town as soon as possible, such as taking advantage of the hometown of Tianzun in this town to attract investment..."
At the last moment before releasing the Holy Tower, Wang Zhifan suggested to the three key people around him. (End of chapter)
