The Jiao Demon King was imprisoned in the frontline camp.
It's not quite accurate to say that he was imprisoned. He was just restricted from going out and put some restraints on him.
When Zhou Zheng saw him, the Demon King looked like a downcast middle-aged uncle with little magic power, with chains around his neck and shackles on his hands.
When he saw Zhou Zheng, a sarcastic smile flashed across his lips, as if he was asking Zhou Zheng:
Is this what you call living?
Zhou Zheng pulled up a chair and sat in front of the Jiao Demon King.
Zhou Zheng made a gesture, Chou Niu and Wu Ma stepped forward and put away the chains on Demon King Jiao's body, giving him temporary freedom.
"It's time to talk about how to handle your affairs."
Zhou Zheng got straight to the point.
The Jiao Demon King said calmly: "The matter is now over. It is up to the emperor to deal with it however he wants. I also believed your lies and felt that after the last battle, even if you won't accept me, you will still give me a place to stand."
"Thinking too much."
Zhou Zheng said seriously:
"You are a famous demon saint, and you are stained with karma. Even if it is not as deep as other golden immortal demons, you still have it.
“I am rather disgusted with the Buddhist rhetoric of ‘putting down the butcher’s knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot’, using any means necessary to recruit combat power, which is unfair to believers who are wholeheartedly doing good but are ignored.
"So the way to deal with you must be to punish first, punish first, and then give you a chance to survive."
Chou Niu and Wu Ma each smiled.
The Jiao Demon King stared at Zhou Zheng in front of him with some thoughts in his eyes.
He whispered: "Why do I feel like the emperor has changed every time I see him? He seems to have become more stable and calmer."
"Really? I took that as a compliment."
Zhou Zheng's eyes flickered slightly and he smiled and said:
"It's okay to tell you that I am participating in the nine trials set by Laojun. Each trial lasts three hours in this world, but in fact I will go through three to five years of practice.
"Now that the situation is quite serious, Laojun can only trick us like this."
"Cheating?" Demon King Jiao considered these two words, "What does this mean?"
"It refers to cheating, that is, abnormal means, or some cheating devices outside the rules."
"I see."
The Demon King nodded and then fell silent.
He stared at the texture of the table in front of him with some loss, his eyes sometimes losing focus and sometimes feeling a little bored.
Trapped in prison, like a puppet;
Losing the dragon ball is like losing a soul.
The two god generals frowned secretly and already had their magical powers at hand. If the Demon King suddenly made a move, they could suppress it at any time.
"Do you feel confused?"
Zhou Zheng asked with a smile.
The Jiao Demon King sighed: "Suddenly I feel a lot more relaxed. This life may be like this, but I don't have to hide anymore... The emperor said that he would give me a way to survive."
Zhou Zheng leaned on the back of his chair, his shoulders slumped.
He looked at the Jiao Demon King and said slowly:
"After Laojun's trial is over, I will step out of the Blue Star and officially start wrestling with the Queen Mother and confront the Jietian Sect and the Monster Clan. The Blue Star will later become the headquarters of the Futian Alliance.
"But there is still some time left, about three to five years.
"I'm worried that after I leave, the Futian Alliance's defense strength on this star will inevitably be reduced, and the demons will be waiting for opportunities to retaliate.
"So I need a guardian."
"Me?" Demon King Jiao was a little in disbelief, "You want me to protect this star?"
"This star's disaster originated from you," Zhou Zheng's eyes sparkled a little brightly, "You went to guard this place and wait for the civilization here to gradually recover. Aren't you going to repay the cause and effect?"
The Demon King smiled bitterly and said, "You trust me so much?"
"Of course I don't trust it."
Zhou Zheng's answer was so decisive that King Jiao Mo didn't know how to complain.
Zhou Zheng said calmly: "I will impose enough restrictions on you to temporarily integrate you with the guardian array. At the same time, I will always keep an eye on you. If you guard this place for a thousand years, I will give you your freedom."
There was obviously some movement in Jiao Demon King's eyes, but he had already noticed it.
Unknowingly, he had no room to negotiate conditions, and everything was controlled by the young emperor in front of him.
Zhou Zheng looked at him with a smile.
"And before that, you still need to pass my test."
"Test?" Demon King Jiao shook his head, "I don't understand."
Zhou Zheng took out a ring from his coat pocket, slowly put it on his right index finger, rubbed it gently with his thumb, and a crystal ball flew out of it and floated in front of the Jiao Demon King.
Zhou Zheng said: "Every creature has a dark side. Human nature, animal nature, and divinity are intertwined to form a complete creature. I want to touch your dark side and see your true face."
The Jiao Demon King frowned.
Zhou Zheng said calmly: "I learned this little trick during Laojun's trial. It is a shortcut to tempering my heart. In exchange, you can also get a glimpse of my dark side."
"I'm not very interested in the sexual intercourse of you humanoid creatures," said the Jiao Demon King quite seriously.
There were several black lines hanging on Zhou Zheng's forehead.
The Jiao Demon King quickly pressed down the crystal ball and said, "I will obey the emperor's orders."
"Relax your mind," Zhou Zheng said slowly, "I see what you see, you hear what I hear... Don't worry, my dark side was all before the age of twenty, and there is nothing romantic about it."
"what a pity."
The Jiao Demon King smiled and shook his head, closing his eyes at the same time as Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng frowned slightly, he could not see into the inner world of the Jiao Demon King; however, Zhou Zheng was not in a hurry, but first revealed the shadows in the corners of his own heart.
This is not because he wants to influence the Demon King himself, but it is a necessary condition for the use of this magical power.
Zhou Zheng is the one who actively casts spells and can selectively reveal some memories that may resonate with the Jiao Demon King.
He has used it many times in the trial of the sixth calamity, and every time he broke the opponent's Taoist heart.
It's just that the Tao of the two realms is slightly different, and Zhou Zheng doesn't know if this magical power can be used smoothly now.
If the experiment with Jiao Demon King is successful, this will be Zhou Zheng's biggest 'mind-catching' weapon from now on. When he meets a character like Kui Mulang again, he won't have to go through the process of drinking, chatting, talking, and playing music.
Just one ball and it's done.
Zhou Zheng also gave this magical power learned from another world a good name.
[Compare your heart to your heart].
After a moment, the crystal ball glowed with light blue, and Zhou Zheng felt a door opened in front of him. The Demon King stood behind the door and bowed to Zhou Zheng.
"Emperor please."
Zhou Zheng cupped his hands and "moved forward" with his hands behind his back. Their immortal and demonic consciousnesses entered the illusion created in the crystal ball together.
The foundation of the illusion is the memory that the Demon King does not want to touch.
…
In the cracks of the coral stone, inside the cave wrapped in the Qiankun formation, a small dragon broke out of its shell. It had two wings on its ribs and two claws on its snake tail. It seemed that the only difference between it and a real dragon was the dragon's horns on its forehead and two hind claws, and those other things.
Larger, harder scales.
But the words it has heard the most since childhood are...
'You are just a dragon, don't dream about the real dragon.'
The father of the Jiao Demon King is the Jiao Dragon Guard of the West Sea Dragon Palace.
Its life as a dragon has been determined from the moment it was born. It will continue to practice and move forward to develop its own potential. After becoming a true immortal-level combat power, it will join the dragon guard of the West Sea Dragon Palace.
When he was a boy, the ignorant Jiao Demon King always heard this sentence, but he still kept working hard.
It wants to be a dragon.
It is not a dragon that is bullied by a dragon, nor is it a dragon that can bully all creatures in the sea except dragons at will.
But a dragon who is free, has a long life, and can enjoy the reverence of all creatures in the sea.
But fate seems to be a well-written story.
It practiced together with its brothers and sisters, and gradually gained the ability to swim in the sea. The dragon's bloodline gave him powerful strength and sharp claws.
Born as a dragon, it has a hint of pride.
But soon, because he was still pretty after transforming into a human, he was spotted by a female dragon and brought back to the cave to be raised. He had fine clothes and fine food every day, and enjoyed the service of the Clam Girl. The only thing the ignorant Jiao Demon King had to do was,
Just go and wipe the female dragon's back when she's taking a bath.
This time, the Jiao Demon King was about to reach adulthood, during which he spent decades in a halo of boredom.
At that time, the Jiao Demon King did not know what he had lost.
The female dragon replaced him with a new little dragon, which was also a delicate little dragon, and he was driven out of the cave by the mother dragon.
When I returned home, I learned the news that my father had died in battle, and saw my mother who was still living peacefully, and the Dragon Guard who was called by her mother.
'Every adult dragon must become a personal guard of the dragon clan.'
This is the excuse given by Jiaolongwei.
Then another sentence.
'Don't dream about turning into a real dragon, just be a bodyguard peacefully, and you will enjoy endless glory and wealth.'
The Jiao Demon King agreed in a daze.
For the next thousand years, he struggled in the Dragon Guard.
Although the dragons around him kept warning him not to dream of transforming into a dragon, as it would kill him, the Demon King looked at the rules that clearly stated, 'As long as you accumulate military exploits, you can get the essence and blood of the true dragon', and he commanded the dragons.
The generals of the Wei are all transformed into dragons.
How could he not be moved?
The Dragon Demon King began to rise to prominence, and he gained meritorious service in several battles to suppress the rebellion of the Sea Clan.
The journey towards the goal of transforming into a dragon has not been smooth sailing.
The Jiao Demon King met the first woman whose heart beat with his heart. She was the dragon girl of the dragon tribe that he was responsible for protecting. She was a beautiful woman who was pointed out by other dragon girls and called a slut.
He was immersed in her beauty, and as long as there was no war mission, he would never leave her side.
The Jiao Demon King also saw the corrupt life of this dragon girl.
She has as many as seven or eight lovers, most of whom are ordinary dragon men, and even elders of the dragon tribe. They indulge in singing and dancing every day, and are drunk and dreamy.
'This is the Dragon Clan, they can do this.'
The Dragon Demon King comforted himself with this, and finally made up his mind to get rid of the thoughts in his heart. But what he didn't expect was that the young female dragon pulled him into the pool after being drunk.
The water in the pool surged, and he enjoyed happiness.
But after Dragon Girl sobered up the next day, she pierced the Jiao Demon King's heart with her sword, with unconcealed disdain and disgust on her face.
She was dirty.
This is what she said.
The Jiao Demon King didn't know how he survived. When he opened his eyes, he was already in a trench covered with corpses. The water pressure made it difficult for him to move because of his weakness, and he found his father's body among the corpses.
There, through some inscriptions and the remnant soul of the dragon that died here, the Demon King learned the truth about the so-called dragon transformation.
After the Dragon Guard Rebellion broke out in ancient times, the Dragon Clan set a rule that the number of dragons transformed into dragons could not exceed half of the Dragon Clan's own population.
Most of the dragons who longed to transform into dragons and worked hard to accumulate military exploits ended up here.
The executioners are dragons transformed into dragons.
The Jiao Demon King lurked there for hundreds of years, witnessed the whereabouts of the dragon corpses more than ten times, searched for their remnant souls, absorbed the remaining spiritual power of their corpses, and finally escaped to the vast world beyond Wubu Continent.
He took refuge in an old demon king, and after a long period of hard work, he rose to prominence among the demon clan.
The Seven Saints sworn sworn sworn sworn followers and proclaimed themselves Over the Sea.
His reputation reached its peak, and countless dragons came to seek refuge with him. The Dragon Clan also intended to choose the Dragon Girl of the Dragon King Jiang He to marry him, in order to consolidate the Dragon Clan's influence.
What makes Jiao Demon King himself feel a little strange is that he does not hate the Dragon Clan. He will miss that crazy night in the years to come.
Unfortunately, the demon clan underwent a drastic change later on, and the demons were sealed in Journey to the West.
The Jiao Demon King became the most dazzling 'star' in the family, and was entrusted by his grandfather to take charge of the broken Ancestral Dragon Ball. From then on, he began to hide.
…
After Zhou Zheng stepped through these illusions, his expression was very complicated.
Turning around, he saw that the Dragon Demon King was still looking at the back of the female dragon in the illusion, not knowing how to evaluate it for a moment.
However, are ordinary dragons so chaotic?
It’s not easy for your own little fish to get out of the mud without getting stained.
He raised his hand and patted the Jiao Demon King on the shoulder. He didn't know how to evaluate it, so he could only say:
"Although during the period of the Jiao Demon King, you fought with the immortals and went to war with the human kingdom, you did have karma and killed many people, but you can still be regarded as each being his own master.
"I will give you the opportunity to wash away these sins slowly from now on.
"Go back, I understand you now."
Zhou Zheng turned around to leave, but the Demon King grabbed Zhou Zheng's arm with his backhand and whispered: "Where is the Emperor's?"
"What?"
"The dark side of the Emperor?"
"As for me," Zhou Zheng said with a bitter smile, "I have been in this life for more than twenty years, not counting the time during the trial. I can't compare with you on the dark side."
The Jiao Demon King looked at Zhou Zheng with complicated eyes: "Shouldn't gaining trust be mutual? I have shown my worst side, shouldn't the emperor express his feelings?"
"Look, you can see it by walking forward."
Zhou Zheng shook his head.
To be honest, the grievances he suffered as a child were really incomparable to those of the Jiao Demon King.
At least he was not molested by an old witch, nor did he fall in love with a Neptune. In the end, he was stabbed to death by his beloved Neptune. He was obviously a slave of desire who never refused, but he said that marrying him would dirty his body.
It hurts, it hurts too much.
The phantoms transformed by the two people's immortal knowledge and demonic thoughts continue to move forward in the illusion.
They seemed to have flipped over, walking from night to day, and the background became a steel city guarded by protective shields.
In a somewhat wet alley after the rain, a boy who was blocked in a corner by a group of teenagers was struggling desperately. He curled up to avoid punches and kicks, but he was treated like a tortoise turned over, being grabbed by his legs and turned.
His back rubbed against the ground.
No one came to rescue or help. Those who stood by to join in the fun just watched for a while and then left.
After the teenagers left, the boy slowly got up, packed his schoolbag, picked up the steel pail that had fallen into the puddle, and limped toward the end of the alley.
This is a situation that almost every child who grows up in an orphanage will experience to some extent.
The boy did not complain after he returned. He continued to eat, do homework, and sleep in the dormitory as usual, listening to the people on the sidelines discussing how to fight with those people.
Similar scenes kept passing by.
Gradually, the boy becomes a teenager in this daily life, and there is more resistance in the picture, and the confrontation seems to become more intense.
The girl named Yanzi began to appear beside him frequently, and the two of them talked more.
"Why are you fighting with them? Why don't you just ask the teacher?"
"Solve your own affairs by yourself."
"Okay, what do you want to do in the future? I don't seem to see any hope of getting ahead. Children who grow up in normal families have no future. The only opportunities are those that are occupied by richer families."
"This is originally a city for rich people," the young man curled his lips indifferently.
The picture of the fantasy world rotates.
The thin figure stood on the ring, facing his peers who were about the same size as him. Surrounded by people holding tickets and shouting wildly, there were two thin beasts inside the rope.
He started making money, started training constantly, and started enjoying the ring.
He moved forward step by step, punching down the big boys who had pushed him down, staining their delicate clothes with mud.
From the third year of junior high school to the second year of high school, that is the happiest period of time for a teenager.
Although it was a bit difficult in the ring, he felt that he had control of his destiny.
The picture suddenly became dark, as if the sun had set.
The dean died on the bed board in the attic, and the swallow's back disappeared into the sunset in the cemetery. The boy packed his schoolbag and walked into the classroom in confusion.
The illusion is divided into two levels.
The boy with the bandage on his fist was huddled in the corner, his eyes unfocused, sitting quietly in the darkness.
The young man who has grown up gradually blends into the surrounding environment with a smile and lives in the bright sunshine.
Walk out of university, go into a factory, and live a relaxed life.
The young man's figure gradually became blurred, and he seemed to be sinking.
The screen suddenly shakes.
In the middle of the night, a beautiful girl is sleeping in the bedroom, and the room is messed up by snacks.
The young man who kept laughing searched for information everywhere, constantly looking for something, until a friend invitation popped up.
The avatar of the husky, the video opened by the plug-in, the little gray dog opposite...
In the darkness, the young man slowly raised his head, his eyes that seemed to be covered by dust gradually became a little more fiery.
In the light, there was an impulse in the young man's heart, and he said earnestly: "Can I join you?"
The young man grinned with a sneer.
After closing the video, the young man covered his forehead, slumped in the gaming chair, and didn't speak for a long time.
The young man stared at him quietly in the darkness with a bit of a sneer.
'This is a rich man's world.'
'This is the world of practitioners.'
The fantasy came to an abrupt end.
"That's it," Zhou Zheng shrugged, "My dark side came from childhood, and was later sealed by myself. Too many things have happened, and I don't seem to have the right to complain."
"Oh, this."
The Jiao Demon King looked at Zhou Zheng's profile.
Snapped.
The snap of fingers suddenly brought the Demon King back to reality.
Only then did the Jiao Demon King realize that the crystal ball had been put away by the young emperor. The emperor had also stood up and looked at him with a smile.
"Let's make some preparations. I will ask two heavenly masters to take action and trap you in the star-protecting formation."
After saying this, Zhou Zheng nodded slightly, with a bit of a smile in his eyes, turned around and left the tent.
The Jiao Demon King wanted to say something, but there was a slight fluctuation in his eyes, as if he saw the young man covered in scars. He opened the tent door and walked into the sunshine, but stood in the shadow blocked by the figure in front.
The Jiao Demon King's Adam's apple trembled a few times.
"You're lucky," the ugly cow god said in a loud voice.
The Jiao Demon King leaned on the back of the chair. For some reason, he only felt his fingers trembling slightly.
