Mei Siren stood up suddenly, knocked over the wooden bench, and pointed at Xu Xiaoshou, who was oozing with demonic energy:
"What's wrong with him?"
Beside the wooden door, the eight acquaintances were still leaning there, motionless.
Kong Yuhen was helpless: "Something happened, the demonic energy is lingering around him, he has been targeted, and sure enough..."
He also looked at the eight acquaintances, shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said nothing.
If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?
They have said that this time is not suitable for a head-on collision with the Demon Ancestor. Do you really think that Xu Xiaoshou can transcend?
"What happened?"
Mei Siren was anxious. Both Ba and Kong could see it, but he couldn't.
I hate myself for being incompetent, like a blind man, and also hate myself for being incompetent, not even being able to help Xu Xiaoshou.
Kongyuhen's attainments in the way of time were obviously much higher than those present.
With a wave of his hand, a space-time scene appeared in front of the three of them.
In the picture, Xu Xiaoshou is sitting on a futon, pious and respectful, and the divine light of the stone statue of the Holy Ancestor is blooming, constantly giving out light balls.
"This is……"
When the people of Meisi looked at this extremely harmonious picture, all they felt was good, and no evil thoughts arose in their hearts.
Good thing!
It looks like a great thing!
The Holy Ancestor is so kind, and Xu Xiaoshou is so cute, just like a good teacher and a good student in the classroom...
"No, isn't he seeing the Demon Ancestor?" Mei Siren suddenly woke up.
With one more touch of his hand, the time and space scene changed.
The stone statue of the Holy Ancestor turned into a black stone sculpture filled with demonic aura. Xu Xiaoshou had a flattering look on his face and behaved in an unsightly manner, taking, taking, and taking again...
"The Demon Ancestor is on top!"
"The Demon Ancestor bless you!"
"Mozu, you are a good ancestor..."
The people of Meisi were stunned.
This picture is more harmonious, after all, this is what suits Xu Xiaoshou.
But the bad thing is that as time goes by, the more Xu Xiaoshou takes, the more demonic energy leaks out of Xu Xiaoshou's body with his eyes crossed and his eyes closed.
"Does it matter?" Mei Siren was keenly aware of something.
"Of course it does matter." Kong Yuhen nodded, "How can you take the things of the Demon Ancestor for nothing? Even if you think you can resist the temptation at first, you will gradually sink under its confusing demonic voice in the end."
The title "Demon Ancestor" certainly contains the word "ancestor". To put it bluntly, its essence is the obsession of the Holy Ancestor and the inner demons.
It may be more accurate to describe it as "devil".
The way of the Holy Ancestor created today's spirit refining world, representing divinity and holiness.
His obsession, the demon ancestor transformed from his inner demon, is naturally the source of all evil in the spirit refining world and the embodiment of all extreme desires.
"Guidance..."
The Meisi people know the guidance, so they are naturally worried that the more Xu Xiaoshou takes, the deeper he will sink.
In the end, he may even be guided by demonic desires and become a pawn of the Demonic Ancestor.
But there's no point in being anxious.
Meisi knew how much he weighed, and could not interfere with Xu Xiaoshou's actions in the long river of time. He set his sights on the Eight Masters...
Instead, he calmed down!
If the final outcome is really as he imagined, why would the Eight Masters be so calm and calm?
This is exactly what Kong Yuhen is confused about.
Bazun knew that he would protect Xu Xiaoshou, but now he stood by and did not stop him. He was also guided by the Demon Ancestor?
Two eyes fell on him. Bazun knew that he could not speak, so he asked:
"Who is the best guide in this world?"
Mei Si was slightly startled, then lowered his head, thoughtfully.
Among the things in this world, the one with the strongest guiding power is the Blood World Pearl.
Among the Taoists in the world, the one who has cultivated the most perfect way of guidance is undoubtedly the Great Emperor of the Seven Trees, also known as the spirit of the Blood Tree.
These thinking scopes are all under the ten ancestors.
As for the Blood World Pearl and the Blood Tree, both were used by Chou Yin in their previous lives. Therefore, if we want to decide who is the best guide in this world, even if we tie up all the ten ancestors, there is no doubt that Chou Yin!
Ba Zunzun spoke slowly: "Cui Yin is good at guidance, but when dealing with Xu Xiaoshou, he rarely uses guidance, and more often uses magic. Why?"
Meisi people suddenly realized.
He also had communication with Xu Xiaoshou about the relics of the gods.
Even Xu Xiaoshou can resist the guidance of Sui Yin. Although the guidance of Demon Ancestor is also strong, how can Xu Xiaoshou fall for it?
"The great way to transform one's mind..."
Mei Si people murmured, knowing that Xu Xiaoshou could withstand the guidance of anyone from the top to the bottom of the Tenth Ancestor just by relying on this method.
He immediately understood why Bazun didn't stop him and chose to watch the show on the sidelines.
He also smiled and turned his gaze to Kong Yuhen.
I'm afraid the old student is so outstanding, I'm afraid it's surprising to you, right?
Kong Yuhen shook his head: "Demon Ancestor's guidance is certainly not as good as that of Sui Yin. During the Relics of Gods, Sui Yin has just awakened. There is no blood world pearl and no blood tree. Not to mention that Demon Ancestor is not good at guidance and is good at corroding people's hearts."
That's right!
The people of Meisi nodded their heads and turned their eyes to the Eight Masters.
Ba Zunzhen was too lazy to argue with Kong Yuhen, and said calmly: "The human heart is easy to change, but the human heart is also the most difficult to change. If Xu Xiaoshou can be corrupted so easily, there will be no need for him to continue cultivating his way."
…
"hey-hey……"
Xu Xiaoshou smiled foolishly.
His way is indeed both good and evil. As long as the general direction is correct, he has always been a "non-conformist" person in the process.
No, after just a short while of informality, he already had two more Ancestral God Fate Patterns in his hand, and an Origin True Stone: Heaven.
The three major divine objects are, theoretically, enough for him to create three ancestral gods.
The generosity of Demon Ancestor is breathtaking. Xu Xiaoshou dared to say that no one in the world is as generous as him.
"Good ancestor, good ancestor!"
People are so generous, why not respond with a smile on their face and a compliment on their lips?
Privately, Xu Xiaoshou knew it well.
All that the Demon Ancestor can give are things that have been eliminated by him.
If these things fall into the hands of others, they can certainly become fatal temptations, and you will do whatever you want to do to them.
After all, Gu Lao spent half his life just seeking a semi-saint status, and it was difficult for him to achieve his wish until his death.
Xu Xiaoshou likes these things. He is a bit of a collector, but he also despises them.
He would not make a contract according to the destiny of the ancestral god.
Among these three items, the only one that is somewhat useful is the Origin True Jie.
He is also interested in the incarnation of the Heavenly Ancestor. After all, he is still a descendant of the Heavenly Ancestor.
He will definitely agree to become the Heavenly Ancestor, right?
But Demon Ancestor said he wanted to cooperate, but in the end he gave him an incarnation of Heavenly Ancestor that could not be realized yet. On the surface, he got a lot, but in fact he got nothing.
You can't fool me, Xu Xiaoshou!
"The third wish..."
Xu Xiaoshou frowned and thought, but in the end he couldn't think of a reason, so he simply said with a confused look on his face:
"As long as a person lives, it is really difficult to distinguish the original heart, the fate of the ancestors and gods, and the true source. I have obtained it, but I still feel dissatisfied. Even if I really want to think about it, I still don't know what I want. I don't know the ancestor, can you give me some advice?"
The Demon Ancestor is at the head, and the demonic energy is thick.
This "Holy Ancestor" can only be called out by someone with a thicker skin than the city wall.
Greed is never-ending.
The ultimate form of greed is naturally not what I want and you satisfy me.
It's that I can't think of what I want, but you can still come up with something that I want and am satisfied with.
This is the greatest sincerity in seeking cooperation!
Of course, whether or not they will cooperate in the end is another matter of opinion...
Xu Xiaoshou knew both himself and the Demon Ancestor thoroughly, and knew that the things he gave him had bad intentions.
But to say that he completely rejects the Demon Ancestor is a bit absolute.
If he could control the evil spirit, control the evil spirit, control the medicine ancestor, and protect his junior sister until she escaped from this situation, Xu Xiaoshou would not mind taking risks.
He often does similar things.
He later learned a lot about the way of checks and balances from Dao Qiongcang.
"The lost little lamb..."
Demon Ancestor closed his eyes slightly, as if thinking, and murmured softly before returning to the stone statue, completely integrating with it.
The stone statues are a bit more vivid.
But the mark with the word "囧" on his chest suddenly disappeared.
Xu Xiaoshou watched this change, still maintaining piety and respect, as if he couldn't see anything unusual.
"Old slut, who are you..."
It can be clearly detected, and the mark with the word "囧" cannot be seen just based on the intention of the Demon Ancestor.
Perhaps this is the reason why Demon Ancestor seeks cooperation with others even though he has become one.
His condition seemed beautiful.
Maybe compared with Sui Yin, it is better because of its richer background.
"Lost little lamb." Among the stone statues, Demon Ancestor seemed to have finished thinking and finally spoke, "Even if you don't know what you want or want, I will give you three choices: upper, middle, and lower. You can choose one of them and be satisfied.
Your wish."
Only children make choices!
Xu Xiaoshou's eyes lit up: "Holy Ancestor, I will choose both."
"Choose one of the three." The stone statue said firmly.
"I know what my wish is. My last wish is to get all of the three options, not just one of them." Xu Xiaoshou refused to give up.
"Choose one of three!"
"All right."
Listening to that unquestionable tone, Xu Xiaoshou also knew that he was too greedy, "Then tell me which three they are, so I can choose."
Demon Ancestor did not say it clearly, but just said: "The bottom is the object, the middle is the Tao, and the top is the secret. Choose one of the three, and the price you need to pay is different."
cost?
Xu Xiaoshou was stunned. There was no such thing before. "Wish, do you still need to pay a price?"
"All wishes are essentially equivalent exchanges."
"Then I don't want it anymore." Xu Xiaoshou accepted it and took the Ancestral God Fate and the True Origin Stone, intending to leave.
The stone statue of Demon Ancestor was actually unmoved.
It seems that even if it ends at this moment, it doesn't matter if He gave me destiny and heavenly words for free.
Don’t say it yet!
If this was playing hard to get, Xu Xiaoshou wanted to be fooled. He was suddenly curious about what the price would be.
"No……"
"Don't look back..."
All deals with the devil are ruined step by step.
Xu Xiaoshou knew who he was talking to and dealing with. He had a strong balance in his heart and knew that there were some bottom lines that he could never cross.
He walked to the door of the palace, suddenly stopped, turned around and grinned:
"Your Demon Ancestor actually knows that my bottom line is low enough!"
…
"Why can't you see it suddenly?"
In Ancient and Modern Wangyou Tower, Meisi people pointed at the suddenly blurred time and space scene, and this time they were really panicking.
At the critical moment, Qian Yuhen was not shown?
Xu Xiaoshou didn't even reveal what choice he made in the end. It's hard to say whether this was intentional or not.
Thinking about it again, he tried every possible means to get Xu Xiaoshou to go on the long river of time, euphemistically saying that he was looking for the time node where the War Ancestor was, but in the end he cooked the person and fed it to the Demon Ancestor's mouth...
"It's just the two of them who cooperated, right?"
The Mei Si people closed their eyes and looked at the eight acquaintances with twinkling eyes.
What he meant was that this was the end, he had to give Kong Yuhen a good beating and bring Xu Xiaoshou back.
If it continues, the two sides, or even three parties, may really have to break up and fight to the death!
"I didn't do it." Kong Yuhen naturally noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere for the first time and pointed at the time and space screen:
"Xu Xiaoshou has already sunk."
"If he were not willing and actively cooperated, the Demon Ancestor alone would not be able to blur my space-time picture on the long river of time."
This is said lightly, but it is also arrogant.
Ba Zunzun didn't care. He pondered for a moment, looked at the Meisi people, and finally said the same thing:
"Look again."
…
"What are the three choices that require us to talk behind closed doors?"
Xu Xiaoshou was naturally aware that the image of himself here could be seen over there by Kong Yuhen.
Of course he also knew the consequences of closing the door.
It's nothing more than that after he returned, even if there was no transaction with the Demon Ancestor, in the eyes of outsiders, something had happened to them.
But just like Xu Xiaoshou believed in the eight acquaintances.
He also firmly believed that Ba Zunzun had watched him come like this all the way and would not give up on him easily after meeting the Demon Ancestor.
Trust is mutual.
The Demon Ancestor wanted to provoke or even intervene in the relationship between him and the Eight Masters, but he thought lightly - this relationship is so strong that there is no way to get in!
"Choose one of the three, take your pick."
On top of the stone statue of the Demon Ancestor, a face with a subtle smile slowly appeared. It seemed that everything in front of it was foreshadowing and was staged for others to see. This moment is the key.
"The price must be clearly stated."
Since he chose to talk behind closed doors, Xu Xiaoshou stopped pretending and kept saying "The Holy Ancestor is on top".
Trading is OK.
To be clear, both parties are essentially equal, so I don’t respect you.
"The prices for top, middle and bottom are different."
"I said, make it clear!" Xu Xiaoshou lost his temper and said, "Everything!"
Demon Ancestor was slightly surprised, and became even more interested in the lost little lamb who suddenly became hardened.
He originally meant not to say it, but now he chose to say it:
"The next choice is to sign a demon ancestor contract with me. You will be used by me for five hundred years. After five hundred years, you will be free."
Is this next?
Is this price too harsh?
Xu Xiaoshou was very happy: "It's only been two years since I debuted. If I meet you, you want me for five hundred years? Five hundred years, I can beat you five hundred times!"
Demon Ancestor smiled and said nothing.
Xu Xiaoshou chuckled and said, "What can I get from giving you five hundred years, Lord Demon Ancestor?"
"You will gain the power of divinity and demonic nature, and to the end of your cultivation, you will be able to become a god and your ancestor at the very least, reaching the current state of your ancestor."
"Skip." Xu Xiaoshou suppressed his smile and was not interested in any of this, "What about winning? What is winning? You won't want me for a thousand or ten thousand years, right?"
No matter what choice you make, the price is the same.
In fact, in the middle and upper levels, Xu Xiaoshou didn’t want to hear it anymore.
He already understood the intention of the Demon Ancestor, which was to close the door, make some fooling around with him, and then there would be a rift between himself and the Eight Masters after he went out. His purpose would be considered accomplished.
The subtle smile of Demon Ancestor at this moment really sounded like a demon's smile, but what he was thinking was completely different from Xu Xiaoshou's, and he said:
"The best choice, equal exchange."
"I can tell you the way of 'returning two to one', and when you have made enough contributions, I will also tell you the way of 'returning one to zero'."
Just when Xu Xiaoshou was about to taunt, "You are just a one, you know nothing about one but zero", Demon Ancestor interrupted him with a chuckle:
"Don't doubt what I said right now."
"Xu Xiaoshou, if you miss this opportunity, I will never mention this matter again in the future."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Demon Ancestor continued to speak and continued to interrupt him: "For this reason, I can also tell you a secret, which can be regarded as...payment in advance."
The last two words that emphasized the tone made Xu Xiaoshou stunned and didn't understand what he meant.
If you pay in advance, you pay in advance. What’s wrong?
Don’t give up… Xu Xiaoshou sneered: “Tell me.”
"Ten Ancestors, ten Ancestral God Fate Patterns, have you ever thought about why there was an extra God-Slaying Officer Ran Ming, and you got the Ancestral God Fate Patterns?" Demon Ancestor asked without saying anything.
"speak!"
"Because Shizu does not have the fate of the ancestor god, his existence is essentially zero."
Xu Xiaoshou was stunned.
The matter was bigger than he realized.
He was a little unclear whether Demon Ancestor was joking or telling the truth.
"Keep talking!"
"The road to return to zero lies in the fate of the ten great ancestors. If you choose the 'winner choice' and complete the two-in-one journey, I will be responsible for gathering the ten fates for you to help you return to zero."
Wow!
You are so generous, Brother Mozu!
You gave me such a big secret for nothing?
Xu Xiaoshou disagreed and replied: "What about me, what do I need to pay for this, and what do you want to get from me?"
"Exchange of equal value..."
Demon Ancestor's expression was indifferent, with only the corners of his eyes and mouth showing a slight smile from beginning to end: "You are responsible for collecting all the spare hatred in the long river of time for me, and after confirming that there are no gaps, finally hand them all over to me.
