Chapter 2 People’s hearts are like ghosts, everyone has their own thoughts
[A complete demon spirit has the potential to elevate a person to the strongest position in the world.]
"What is a complete demon spirit?"
[According to the rules of this world, when a demon spirit absorbs the souls of all the people in Hudu, it can evolve into a complete demon spirit.]
"Is there no divine punishment in this world?"
[The life and death of the people in a city are like the withering of grass in this world. God will not be angry because the grass on the mountain withers. How can there be punishment from heaven? 】
Qin Yao was silent for a moment and said: "Then if I use tricks to swallow demon spirits in this world and become the strongest person in this world, what will happen after I return to Uncle Jiu's world?"
[Probably because the rules of the world are different, there may be a catastrophe, ten deaths and no life. 】
Qin Yao: "..."
"The complete demon spirit can make a tiny little immortal become the supreme being of the three realms. So, what about the incomplete version of the demon spirit, can it help me become an immortal?"
[The system cannot be sure, but there is a high chance that it is sure.]
Qin Yao breathed out lightly and said, "Then choose this world."
He is now a Five-Coin Heavenly Master, and is still five small realms away from the Immortal Realm.
If you choose a normal universe, you may not be able to break through a small realm after experiencing one story. Even if you get lucky, one story can save the resources to break through to the first level. It will still take four stories to cultivate to the Nine-Coin Heavenly Master.
the point.
Relatively speaking, it is much easier to become an immortal by choosing the incomplete world of Zhong Kui to conquer the demons and taking advantage of the current situation where the rules of heaven are chaotic and unable to be self-consistent.
After all, breaking through four small realms in a row and becoming an immortal is much more reliable than the story setting where a complete demon spirit can control the three realms.
[The current system in the world requires 650 filial piety points. Do you want to carry the system?] When he made the decision, the light talisman suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.
Qin Yao was stunned and said in astonishment: "You need so many?"
This is the first time he has seen a handling fee of more than 600. Even those who had 500 before had corresponding preferential policies. After the policy is implemented, it will only be over 300.
[The incomplete universe is full of dangers, the rules are weird, and the risk of carrying the system is extremely high...] The system gives an explanation.
Qin Yao hesitated for a moment, but after all, he did not dare to gamble with his own life and said: "Bring the system on."
[Transaction in progress...]
[The fee for this transaction is 650 points, and your remaining filial piety balance is 11,338 points.]
Looking at the light talisman flashing in front of his eyes, Qin Yao was moved in his heart and asked: "If I add all the remaining filial piety values to my practice, what state can I achieve?"
[It is estimated that he can advance to the level of Qiqian Celestial Master.]
"Is 5,600 points of filial piety worth one level?" Qin Yao murmured to himself, then silently gave up the idea.
You can rely on [Devil Spirit] to advance your cultivation level. The greater role of filial piety is to make the impossible possible and save lives at critical moments.
Especially, after going to a incomplete universe.
[Can I use filial piety points to add points to the service? 】
"Do not use."
[The system senses the existence of "bonds". Do you want to use the bond function for team cooperation? 】
"Yes!" Qin Yao said decisively.
Although his current combat power has surpassed Uncle Jiu, Uncle Jiu can still bring him an infinite sense of security when taking risks...
Different universe.
During the Tang Dynasty, Hudu was the middle ground between the human and demon worlds. The ancestors built Hudu City here, and the imperial court sent troops to guard it to prevent demons who escaped from the demon world from entering the human world and causing harm to the people.
God helps Hudu to resist demons. Every ten years, an immortal will be rotated to guard Hudu, train demon-slayers, and protect all people.
Now that the ten-year period has come, the immortal Zhang Daoxian volunteered to come down to earth to guard the capital to ensure peace in the world.
It's just that after this kind-faced immortal with a black beard and beautiful beard came down to earth, the first thing he did was not go to the Protector's Mansion to take charge.
Instead, he found the weakest point between the human world and the demon world, cut through time and space with a sword, escaped into the demon world, found the demon king, and told him that human Yang soul can make the demon spirits of the demon world grow rapidly, and then the demon world will usher in a new life.
In the main hall, the demon god covered in flames did not understand his motives and asked him bluntly.
Zhang Daoxianxu and Wei Snake, with their clever tongue, deceived the devil for the time being, and then the devil arranged for the demon to quietly leave the devil's world to test the truth of what the other party said.
It turned out that what the other party said was true. Yang soul can really help demons grow and benefit all demons.
Immediately, demons attacked Hudu, and Zhang Daoxian came out of the blue to defeat the demons and win the respect of the whole city.
The next day, Zhang Daoxian left the capital, brought a scholar from the capital, and sent him to the Duhu Mansion.
Three years later, with his help, the scholar obtained the rank of Captain and took charge of the Protectorate.
This person's name is Zhong Kui.
This year, it’s the eighth day of July.
Zhang Daoxian took Zhong Kui into the demon world and gave him a task to steal the demon spirit from the demon world.
At that time, Zhong Kui had no idea that a demon followed the door left by him and Zhang Daoxian, escaped from the demon world into the human world, and appeared in the fields.
Fortunately, just as the demons were killing the civilians, two beams of white light fell from the sky and landed in front of the demons...
"Roar!"
Dozens of monsters that looked like tigers and leopards roared in a low voice and gradually surrounded the two white lights, ready to move.
Qin Yao raised his head and looked at Uncle Jiu, nodded tacitly, and summoned the purple and green swords together. The two sword lights crisscrossed each other and swept forward. Dozens of demons were instantly torn apart, and blood mist floated.
"Master, come with me."
Returning the sword to its sheath, Qin Yao opened his eyebrows and looked in all directions. He soon found the portal through which demons broke into the human world, and drew out his sword to kill several monsters that tried to climb out of the portal.
"I'll seal it."
Uncle Jiu took out a golden talisman from his hand. After infusing it with mana, he flew towards the golden door shining with light.
The talisman paper is attached to the golden door, and the passage gradually closes at a slow speed.
Not long after, when there was only a gap left in the portal, a golden light suddenly flew out from it.
Uncle Jiu subconsciously raised the Purple Ying Sword, but Qin Yao grabbed his wrist and said solemnly: "Master, you are not a demon!"
"Who are you monks? You almost ruined my life!" Zhang Daoxian showed up with Zhong Kui and scolded him seriously.
"Did you open this portal?"
Qin Yao pointed at the gradually disappearing door of time and space, and shouted in a deep voice: "Do you know that if my master and disciple hadn't passed by here, the monsters running out of the door would have started killing people in the world."
Zhang Daoxian's eyes narrowed and his tone softened slightly: "Who are you?"
The same question, but said in a different tone, gives people a completely different feeling.
Qin Yao silently adjusted his attitude and was no longer rigid: "We are demon slayers walking in the world, who are you, and why do we want to open the door to humans and demons?"
Zhang Dao
"What's in the box?" Qin Yao asked knowingly.
"It's a demon spirit from the demon world." Zhang Daoxian said: "On the seventh day after the demon spirit leaves the demon world, the demon world will wither like a flower. By then, all the demons will die, and the capital and even the world will be able to enjoy eternal peace."
Qin Yao glanced at the wooden box held tightly in Zhong Kui's arms, and said in a solemn voice: "That is a world, and it will die so easily?"
Zhang Dao
, one more person can give you more strength, let alone two people with high magic power."
Qin Yao pondered for a moment, turned around and asked, "What do you think, Master?"
Uncle Jiu nodded and said, "It is our duty as demon-slayers to resist demons and protect the world."
Zhang Daoxian laughed, raised his hand and said: "Let's go, I will take you into the city!"
Afterwards, the four of them stepped into Hudu City together, and saw pedestrians going north and south, and merchants hawking loudly, creating a lively and noisy street scene.
"Demon elixir wine... demon elixir wine."
"Baozi, Baozi."
"The meteorite iron magic weapon has hair as shaved as mud. Come and take a look."
"Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang."
Amidst countless noises, a young man in white clothes with tied hair held a flagpole with the words Soul Protector hanging on it, shouting loudly: "Those who come from the south and those who go from the north, people have three souls and seven souls.
There is no life without life, there is no prosperity without soul, life soul is the foundation of the seven souls..."
"Du Ping." Zhong Kui shouted as he watched this guy explain it to everyone.
The young man in white looked up and waved at him: "Brother."
"Come here." Zhong Kui waved.
"I'm busy. Let's talk about it tonight if you have anything to do." Du Ping responded loudly.
Zhong Kui had no choice but to see the three people next to him looking at him, so he took the initiative to explain: "He is my sister's friend. He is a charlatan. He has some medical skills."
Everyone nodded and then, under his leadership, walked into the Protectorate's Mansion one after another.
"Immortal."
"grown ups."
Along the way, all the personnel in the Duhufu greeted Zhang Daoxian first, and then Zhong Kui, thus reflecting the dignity of both parties.
"Please sit down, please sit down..." In a blink of an eye, Zhong Kui led the three of them to a main hall and gave up the main seat to Zhang Daoxian without hesitation.
"Zhong Kui, in the name of the Protectorate, inform the people of the city to gather at the Demon Suppression Tower in the evening. In front of all of them, I will hand over the demon spirit to the unicorn in the Demon Suppression Tower to boost the morale of the people in the city.
, defend the capital for seven days." Zhang Daoxian ordered.
When Zhong Kui heard the order, he immediately stood up from his chair, clasped his fists and said, "Immortal, I'll go right away."
"Go." Zhang Daoxian waved his hand.
Zhong Kui put down his arms and turned around to leave. Zhang Daoxian then looked at Uncle Jiu: "I'll be looking after you for the next seven days."
Uncle Jiu said in a deep voice: "We will do our best."
Zhang Dao
Hearing what he said, Qin Yao inexplicably remembered the sentence "I am with you" said by this guy in the original work.
To be honest, there's nothing serious about it.
Even a little boring!
Zhang Daoxian regarded this pair of masters and apprentices who suddenly appeared as pawns to protect the capital, so he enthusiastically arranged a room for them and prepared various daily necessities.
After finishing all this work, the time came to dusk, and Zhang Daoxian warmly invited them to participate in the [Sealing of Spirits] conference later.
Qin Yao and Jiu Shu agreed wholeheartedly. However, after Zhang Daoxian left to prepare the speech, the master and the apprentice almost lost their smiles at the same time.
"Is this Taoist Immortal a good guy or a bad guy?" Uncle Jiu called Qin Yao to his room, raised his hand to set up a soundproof barrier, and asked in a solemn voice.
Qin Yao asked: "Master, do you think he is a good person or a bad person?"
Uncle Jiu paused for a moment: "He has an immortal demeanor, a kind face, and kind eyes. He looks like a good person."
Qin Yao breathed out softly and sighed: "He is a selfish person."
Taking the lives of all the people in Hudu to achieve one's own path is so bad that it will bleed.
However, in the current world view, there is no reincarnation of cause and effect, no reward for good and evil. God truly treats everyone equally and does not regard human beings as children of fate.
In this case, the people of this city are considered a fool. If Zhang Daoxian succeeds, then he will be a saint, not a bad guy.
Based on this, Qin Yao could only evaluate him as a selfish person.
Uncle Jiu was silent for a moment and then said: "What does he want to do, and what do you want to do?"
Only by understanding these two issues can he know what he should do in the future.
Qin Yao first told Zhang Daoxian's plan, and then his own goal.
Uncle Jiu knew this and asked, "When are you going to take action?"
Qin Yao: "After the demon world loses its demon spirit, it will definitely attack the heaven. Therefore, the heaven will definitely pay attention to this matter, so that Zhang Daoxian will go to the heaven to explain. I am ready to take action after he leaves Hudu and goes to the heaven."
Uncle Jiu thought for a while and said, "I think you can do it earlier."
Qin Yao's heart moved slightly: "How long will it be in advance?"
"Now put Xiang Liu into the Demon Suppressing Tower, and wait until Zhang Daoxian hands the demon spirit to Qilin. After Qilin returns to the Demon Suppressing Tower, immediately start to snatch the demon spirit."
Uncle Jiu said: "Because if I were Zhang Daoxian, I would never have thought that something bad would happen at this point in time. On the contrary, I would pay special attention to the period when I left, and would definitely arrange lower layers of barriers, even
Use the method of fake departure to fish for law enforcement."
Qin Yao thought for a moment, took out a three-pointed two-edged knife from his ear, and asked: "Did you hear everything?"
"I heard it." The three-pointed two-edged sword suddenly turned into a mini version of the hydra monster, crawling on the ground: "The key is how strong the unicorn is. If it is much stronger than me, this plan will not be implemented at all."
Qin Yao recalled the original work and said with certainty: "There must be no fairyland."
"That's easy to handle." Xiang Liu said confidently: "As long as it's not a fairyland, I can kill it in a sneak attack."
Qin Yao didn't say let him keep his hand.
Under such circumstances, being soft-hearted for a moment will only harm their master and disciple.
"Go ahead and be careful. Even if things don't work out, you have to take care of your own life first."
Xiang Liu nodded in response and left quietly.
evening.
The sun and the moon shine together.
All the people of Hudu gathered in front of the Demon Suppression Tower by the river, talking among themselves and making noise.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a celestial light descended from the sky and transformed into Zhang Daoxian. The crowd immediately shouted for the immortal and knelt down like rice in the wind. There was no more noise in the audience.
Zhang Daoxian stood in front of the Demon Suppression Tower, looking at this scene with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but fantasize in his heart:
What kind of grand scene would it be if there were gods and Buddhas all over the sky kneeling at their feet?
