Chapter 242: Zuo Envoy is diligent, and Zhou Zheng makes a clever calculation
Zhou Zheng soon discovered that he was worrying too much.
When Zuo Shi entered the scene, he didn't even look at him at all, and his immortal consciousness fell on his paper Taoist body.
In fact, in order to increase its own power, Dapeng Bird temporarily recruited a large number of masters who had come to visit him before and had not yet left this world, and piled up hundreds of monsters.
What Dapeng pursues is momentum.
At this moment, Zhou Zheng was among the big demons, and it could be said that he was inconspicuous.
Dapeng went behind the screen again, not knowing what advice the 'counselor' inside would give him.
Zhou Zheng, on the other hand, closed his eyes and concentrated, returning his mind to his own body, and listened to the old man's mutterings with Di.
Soon, Zhou Zheng concentrated on this place, listening to the wisps of 'regional' sounds.
"The Zuojie of the Jietian Sect came here to express his displeasure to King Peng?"
"Not necessarily. The Jietian Sect probably has no good intentions. King Peng is right. The Jietian Sect is still based on the old ministers of the Heavenly Court. Just like the Futian Alliance, the two of them have different opinions and are essentially a family.
"
"I used to say that King Peng was brave and foolhardy, but now that I have seen him, I know how dark the hearts of those who spread rumors are."
"Peng Wang has the appearance of a great emperor."
Zhou Zheng nodded while listening.
It’s also absolutely amazing.
These monsters can actually be fooled by the roc.
Zhou Zheng suddenly thought of the difference between humans and demons that he had heard Mu Zha talk about. One of Mu Zha's theories was quite interesting.
Although people have different qualifications, when it comes to IQ, overall they are relatively average, with a high upper limit and a lower lower limit.
As for the demon race, most of them have spiritual wisdom. After transforming, they have to specialize in cultivating their minds. This has a high upper limit but no lower limit.
This is the core factor why the demon race is gradually replaced by the human race as the protagonist of the world.
Of course, Hui'an Xingzhe's conclusion is somewhat arbitrary.
In Zhou Zheng's view, the most stable thing for people is not only the lower limit of IQ, but also reproduction.
Education begins with burial and flourishes with marriage.
At this time.
When——when——
Two golden gongs sounded, indicating the arrival of the guests.
Hundreds of big and small demons in the hall were sitting at the same time, each with a tense expression. They did not want to offend the demon masters of the Jietian Sect, so they deliberately sat at the back, looking down at the desk at this moment.
Avoid the common occurrence of ‘look at you’.
Outside the palace, a row of female fairies in cloaks lowered their heads, all moved forward, and stood in a neat row in front of the palace door, each holding a sword and concentrating, exuding momentum.
Although it was not able to overwhelm the hundreds of demons in the arena, it could still be considered to have stabilized the territory outside the palace.
A beam of golden light fell from the sky.
In the golden light, Zuo Shi, who was dressed as white as snow, stood with his hands behind his back, looking around the hall with a smile, and his eyes were quite lively.
Zhou Zheng looked at Zuo Shi naturally, without any intention of fighting or hostility in his heart, but simply looking at him.
This guy seems to be a little stronger than when he last appeared.
It should be the path of human cultivation? It seems to focus on improving the Tao realm.
But at this moment, the Dapeng bird had not come out from behind the screen, and the Zuo ambassador was standing outside the hall slightly embarrassed, with no one coming forward to receive him.
After waiting for a while, the roc strolled out from behind the screen.
Zhou Zheng laughed secretly as he watched.
Got it.
Dapeng Bird's noble temperament is now firmly established.
"Who is coming?"
The roc sat on the throne on the high platform with its arms spread out, looking down at the ring in its hand, its voice somewhat disdainful.
Zuo Shi's face looked a little grim.
At this moment, even if he wanted to express his kindness directly, he could not show any groveling. This was related to the prestige of the Jietian Sect.
Although in the past two years, the Jietian Sect has been humiliated by Emperor Qinghua.
A female immortal stepped forward and said firmly: "Zuo Shi, the headmaster of Jie Tian Sect, is here."
"Zuo Shi?"
The roc's sitting posture became more relaxed. The bird's face was shrouded in golden light and soon transformed into a human face.
No way, bird faces are always not as expressive as human faces.
Dapeng smiled disdainfully: "The right envoy has been fucked to death, so how can the left envoy have the nerve to go out and jump around?"
"You!" The fairy was furious.
"No rudeness."
Zuo Shi raised his hand and said something, moved forward with a smile, cupped his hand towards the roc, and said with a smile:
"The right envoy was careless for a moment and fell into the scheme of Taishang Laojun and Emperor Ziwei, and became the ladder for Emperor Qinghua to become famous. This is also a failure that our Jietian Sect has to admit.
"I came to see King Peng today because I have something important to discuss. I also know that King Peng was dissatisfied with the previous Immortal Meeting, so I am here to apologize to King Peng."
After saying this, Zuo Shi arched his hands forward.
Dapeng Bird's expression became much more relaxed, and many of the demons in the palace were also impressed by Zuo Shi's charm.
Zhou Zheng felt his conscience and judged that this Zuo Shi was only a little inferior to him in terms of appearance, and he was a type that was very popular with female seductresses.
"Is it important?"
Dapengniao said calmly: "Why, now that Jie Tianjiao knows that it can't defeat Emperor Qinghua, it wants to win over me? Why not go find those wine bags and rice bags?"
When Zhou Zheng heard this, he secretly felt bad.
There is still the possibility of easing the relationship between the Dapeng Bird and the Jietian Sect.
Zuo Shi smiled and said: "Everyone in the world knows that the golden-winged roc has unparalleled speed, so we have longed for it."
As he spoke, he crossed the threshold and walked slowly forward from the hall.
It was as if a beam of searchlight light shone on Zuo Shi, making him the most eye-catching presence in the scene.
Zuo Shi said loudly:
"Although I, the Jietian Sect, admired King Peng's extreme speed before, we were still wary of it. In addition, there were evil people who interfered with it, which made us mistakenly believe that King Peng would follow the Buddhist Guanyin Master and join the Futian Alliance. This is right.
King Peng was a bit scornful.
"Now we know the ambition of King Peng, and what a hero he is. He is actually the mainstay of the contemporary demon clan.
"Therefore, when I heard that King Peng was here, I rushed across the stars and across the moon to get here, just to witness the grace of King Peng and to have a drink and talk with him."
"a ha ha ha!"
The Dapeng bird raised its head and laughed, clapped its hands and shouted: "Okay! Come here! Move the chair to Zuo Envoy, serve the table, and serve the good wine and food! Don't say that I neglected the guests!"
The group of demons below who were a little nervous suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as you can't fight.
They were really afraid that the two sides would start a fight if they disagreed. Although they were considered dominant in their respective areas, here, they were completely the property of their children and grandchildren, so it would be difficult for them to fight without being affected.
At that moment, the Yu tribe's waiter hurried forward, moved tables and cushions, and brought good wine and tea.
The Zuo Shi's position was arranged at the top of the guest seats on the left, but still under the high platform.
The Dapeng bird was smiling broadly at this moment, its eyes were filled with pride, and it even took a special look at the expressions of the monsters below.
After Zuo Shi took his seat, he waved gently at the door, and the group of cloaked fairies retreated and formed two lines outside.
"Prince Peng, let me toast you."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say," Dapeng said, holding the wine bottle and drinking it down in one gulp, feeling proud.
However, the roc obviously maintained some sense and was not smoked by Zuo Shi's rainbow fart.
He said: "Zuo Envoy doesn't have to say nice things. Emperor Qinghua has obtained the demon refining pot. I'm afraid you are more anxious than anyone else. It's better for you and me to speak quickly. I dare to ask Zuo Envoy to come, but in order for me to deal with Qing Hua."
Emperor Hua Zhou Zheng?"
Zuo Shi smiled freely, nodded first, and then shook his head.
The Zuo envoy said: "I came here for three purposes, and inviting King Peng to come out is only one of them."
Zhou Zheng laughed secretly after hearing this.
Here we go, Zuo Shi's words finally arrived.
If Zhou Zheng's guess is correct, I'm afraid there are two other purposes. One is to formally make friends with King Peng, and the other is to give gifts to King Peng.
This is generally said for old silver coins.
Just listen to Dapeng Bird say: "Oh? What are the other two purposes?"
"The second is that I want to formally meet with King Peng and make a good friendship; the third is that I accidentally got a phoenix golden feather dress, and I hereby send it to King Peng for tasting."
After saying that, Zuo Shi waved his big hand, and a feather coat shining with colorful rays of light slowly flew around in the hall, just like a spiritual bird spreading its wings, dazzling everyone who saw it.
The bird was very happy when he saw it.
He did feel a breath of the phoenix divine bird. Although it was very light, there were definitely real phoenix feathers in the feathers.
When the feather coat fell, Dapeng caught it with both hands, stood up and looked at it again and again, laughing non-stop.
"Zuo Shi is determined."
In the audience, Zhou Zheng silently looked at the guqin he had given him and was buried in the pile of gifts.
That's why he spent the spiritual stones.
Although it only cost a few.
Now Zhou Zheng is indeed a little worried. The Zuo Shi arrived too suddenly, and he had no preparation for this before. Moreover, Zuo Shi kept his posture very low while ensuring the face of Jie Tian Sect.
Judging from the expression on the Dapeng bird at this moment.
He felt that he was respected by the Jietian Sect.
This is a bit fatal.
Zhou Zheng's paper Taoist sat there, carefully considering what he should do to put a fire between Dapengniao and Zuo Shi.
He subconsciously glanced at the screen in the corner.
Now, it is easy to figure out the thoughts of the roc, but it is really troublesome to figure out the thoughts of the hidden master.
Is there any method that can be used?
Or, are you looking for loopholes in Zuo Shi's words?
So how to fight back?
Zhou Zheng's mind was spinning so fast that the paper Taoist was almost burning up.
Soon, a flash of inspiration flashed through Zhou Zheng's heart.
He began to look at the group of monster masters below who had become decorations. Listening to the whispers coming from their "area", he already had an idea of how to deal with it.
"Everyone, why do I feel that Prince Peng is being deceived by this envoy?"
He took the initiative to join the group chat of these monster masters.
…
On the high platform, Dapengniao and Zuo Shi started chatting again, and the topic revolved around the Demon Refining Pot.
Zuo Shi tried to get Dapeng to accept this logic:
The demon refining pot is the nemesis of the demon clan. The Qinghua Emperor who holds the demon refining pot has essentially become the mortal enemy of the demon clan. Referring to the experience of the Heavenly Court in controlling demons, once the Futian Alliance has a comprehensive advantage, it will inevitably help others and destroy the demons.
.
This actually sounds very reasonable.
Zuo Shi said:
"When Emperor Qinghua was weak in strength and power, he could propose the establishment of a demon world to win over the demon clan. How could he take the demon clan into his eyes after he became strong and fully risen?
"How difficult is it to establish a world? How much pressure do you have to bear from the human immortals?
"Their roots are not in the demon clan."
Dapeng thinks this is very reasonable.
Zuo Shi said again:
"Although we, the Jietian Sect, want to create a new order, we have made a promise to the outside world three hundred years ago that all spirits will be treated equally and that the Jietian Sect will be free to come and go.
"This is also the main reason why most of the demon ancestors are willing to cooperate with us.
"What King Peng doesn't know is that many masters of the demon clan are actually afraid that King Peng will really enter the Jietian Sect. They are jealous, and even more jealous.
"The Jietian Sect is actually open-minded and tolerant. We act in full accordance with the rules set by the leader. The deputy leaders are not ranked by their strength, but by their contribution to the sect."
The roc raised its eyebrows slightly.
He said: "What Zuo Shi means is that giving me the position of elder is reasonable and reasonable for you?"
"Unreasonable, but reasonable."
"How do you say this?"
"It's unreasonable, because your strength, King Peng, is more than enough to be the deputy leader."
Zuo Shi smiled and said:
"The two envoys on my left and right are responsible for handling the complicated affairs within the church.
"But it is reasonable because King Peng has not made any contribution to the Jietian Sect before, nor has he surrendered to any marshal from heaven. If he directly gives King Peng the position of deputy leader, wouldn't it mean that those who have worked hard and accumulated
The meritorious old man is not convinced?
"King Peng, you are the overlord of one party and you have countless subordinates. You should know how important these two rules are.
"But you left too quickly and didn't even give us a chance to explain. You didn't go to the Immortals Conference at that time, which made us feel that you were directly defecting to the Futian Alliance.
"Now I know that the traitor has a plan, the traitor has a plan!"
The Dapeng bird looked thoughtful and nodded constantly.
He looked down at the group of demons.
In fact, Dapengniao was already a little shaken in his heart. He thought about softening his attitude and formally making friends with Zuo Shi.
Isn't this also a way?
But Dapengniao had scolded the Jietian Sect for several months before, and had gathered so many guests here. If he easily agreed to help the Jietian Sect, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
not to mention……
Dapeng looked at the screen, but there was always no sound from that side, and he was a little unsure.
Suddenly I heard a younger demon clan member among the group of demons below say something: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that the Jietian Sect has evil intentions and is no different from the Futian Alliance?"
The roc bird glared at this guy.
He was just about to say that this young demon has no eyesight, when suddenly he heard another demon clan speaking in a deep voice below:
"Your Majesty, you should think more about it. They are obviously anxious, so they came to seek your help."
"That is, our demon clan can find a way on its own without relying on the Futian Alliance or the Jietian Sect."
The masters of the demon clan, who had been muttering for a long time, all started talking one after another at this moment.
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"They just want to use you, Your Majesty, to fight against the Demon Refining Pot!"
"Your Majesty, if you can defeat the Demon Refining Pot, why not worry about not being able to compete with Jie Tian Sect and Fu Tian Alliance in the future?"
Zhou Zheng, who was now disguised as a tree demon with a paper manikin, also took the opportunity to say a few words.
He doesn't take the initiative to set the rhythm, but just echoes the sounds around him.
In fact, Zhou Zheng also discovered the ‘ingredients’ of these monster masters.
The disagreement between the Dapeng Bird and the Jie Tian Sect is not a secret in the Three Realms; most of the demon masters who have come here to pay homage to the Dapeng Bird these days are actually dissatisfied with the Jie Tian Sect.
Those demon masters who are friendly to the Jietian Sect, before Zuo Shi appears, even if they don't hide when they encounter a roc, they still have to consider whether they will displease the Jietian Sect before coming to visit them.
Therefore, he just blended in with the communication with the monsters and secretly set the rhythm.
This moment happens to be when the rhythm breaks out.
What is the weakness of the roc?
Good face.
And what kind of monster is sitting below?
There are some respectable monster clans in the nearby realms.
His Zuo Envoy could put down his face to curry favor with Dapeng, but Dapeng couldn't let go of his face and directly submitted an imperial edict to the Jietian Sect.
Dapeng's expression gradually changed, he sat there and thought carefully for a while, then turned to look at Zuo Shi.
The roc bird also remembered her teachings.
Yes, you are valuable as long as you don't take sides.
Once you choose a side, your voice will no longer be heard in the Three Realms.
He picked up the feather coat on the side, pushed it back to Zuo Shi, and said calmly:
"I accept the kindness of Ambassador Zuo, but Jie Tian taught me to humiliate me first. I can't just agree to go out. Behind me are not only the descendants of the Feng Clan and the Yu Clan, old and young, but also the backbone of the E Yao Clan.
."
After saying this, Dapeng waved his hand.
Zuo Shi nodded with a smile and looked down at the group of monsters below, his expression slightly gloomy.
