Chapter 492: Fifteenth Floor of Heavenly Prison
Because of Caowa's damn crow's mouth attribute, I had to ask Taishang Laojun beside me to help me. Fortunately, Taishang Laojun is also a powerful person and has some tricks for this kind of thing.
"The crow's mouth you mentioned is actually a side effect of the ability to speak the spirit. Mainly because the ability to speak the spirit involves the law of cause and effect, so there will definitely be some unpredictable situations. However, this kind of thing is not uncontrollable. " Taishang Laojun said.
I asked very humbly: "I don't know how to control it?"
"Wait for me." Taishang Laojun said, looking around, and then suddenly pointed at the stone where I had just broken off a corner. "Here, do me a favor and flatten this thing. I want to use it."
I nodded and went over without saying a word. I instantly pulled out Eternity and swept it gently, and then retracted it instantly. The entire layer of the stone on the opposite side flew out with a bang, leaving a very flat surface.
Taishang Laojun looked at the surface and nodded, then began to take out things from his body. At first I didn't know what he was going to do, but I knew it when I saw the brush. This is about drawing a talisman!
Taoist talismans are a very useful auxiliary tool, similar to Western magic scrolls. However, magic scrolls are mostly disposable, while talismans can sometimes be reused. As a Taoist being, Taishang Laojun is of course very good at drawing talismans.
Taishang Laojun here prepared things and started to draw the talismans, but he did not use ordinary talisman, but a kind of golden paper that I had never seen before, and then dipped some unknown things into it with a brush. The mixed liquid, which looked a bit like blood, began to draw symbols.
Of course, Laojun on the Ethernet did not have to work hard to draw the talisman. From the beginning to the end, it only took less than five seconds. The speed was amazing. The symbols on the talisman were also super simple. I think kindergarten children should see it several times. It can also be copied. However, it’s just this little thing that doesn’t look like much. I believe its effect is absolutely perfect.
Sure enough, after Taishang Laojun finished painting, he directly picked it up and blew it twice, and then handed it to me. And while starting to draw the second picture, he said: "Put this thing on his forehead. Although it can't completely suppress his crow's mouth, as long as he says something bad, the power will be automatically halved. And, when he speaks next time When something good happens, the half of the lost power will be superimposed, which means that the power of his speech spirit is increased in disguise."
"So good?" I said, holding the talisman in surprise.
Taishang Laojun smiled and handed the second piece he had just finished into my hand. Then he said: "Is this considered good? Then you are too underestimated my talisman. But let me explain to you first, this thing cannot touch water, especially dirty water. Any unclean things can only be touched once , this talisman will be ineffective immediately. Also, the energy on this talisman is limited, and you need to take it out after a while to replenish the energy."
"Then how can I replenish it?"
"Use your magic or divine power, any energy will do anyway. Just input it directly. But you must take it off first when inputting. I give you two to use interchangeably when charging."
"Is it strong enough to hold the thing? It won't fall off suddenly during the battle, right?"
"It's not too strong. After all, it's just gold paper, but it has energy protection on it. As long as it's not directly attacked, it shouldn't fall off by itself. Oh, and one more thing, after this thing is attached Only the person who sticks it can tear it off. If someone pulls it down, it will become very tight. Although it is not impossible to take it off, it may be torn off with the skin."
"Okay. Got it. Thank you, Laojun." After I said that, I turned around and slipped Cao Wati up, and then slapped the talisman on his forehead. I put the grass baby down again and took a look, then I nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, it looks like a little zombie!"
Cao Wa angrily lifted up the talisman in front of him and said, "But what if I fall down while walking with this thing hanging in front of me?"
"You don't have to worry about this." I said directly: "As long as you don't cheat us, it will be no problem if I summon someone to be your mount in the future."
"That's what you said."
"I said it, don't worry. I promise I won't embarrass you in the future. And you don't have to keep this thing with you. I will tear this thing off for you when you return to our guild."
"Aren't you afraid that I will make you unlucky again?" Cao Wa asked.
I said with a smile: "You underestimate our Frost Rose Alliance too much, right? Don't worry, there are two people in our guild who are dedicated to defeating you. I will let you live with them from now on, and I will make sure everything is fine."
In fact, the existence of the two restrained grass babies I mentioned is auspicious and wishful. The luck value attribute of these two foodies is infinite. To make them unlucky, you must have incredible strength. Anyway, as far as I can see, no one can really hurt them both yet. Even the only punishment I, the president, can give them is to make them lose weight. After all, luck is too high. Even if you want to beat or scold me, don’t dare! If you attack them, some natural disaster will definitely occur to interrupt your attack, and you will definitely be the unlucky one in the end. I haven't forgotten the last time that the mages who cast spells to hit them with meteors and fire showers were killed by my own bolide. Therefore, even if I want to punish them now, I can only reduce the food rations and make them Achieve it with more exercise. After all, this is not considered damage and will not trigger a lucky counterattack.
After getting rid of Cao Wa's crow's mouth, we successfully reached the periphery of the fifteenth floor of the prison. Unlike the fourteen-story prison above, the prison here finally looks a bit like a prison cell.
There are still the same two guarding ghost generals outside this fifteen-story prison. They let us in after we got the papers. But Caowa didn't appear on the list, so he had to wait outside. In order to prevent him from running around, I could only release the king to accompany him here, and I walked into the prison here with Taishang Laojun.
The gate of the fifteenth floor of the heavenly prison is a stone gate with a thousand-pound gate. This is more formal than the fourteenth floor. After entering, it is not a place like a courtyard resort, but directly a place like an ancient yamen lobby. There is a high platform in front of the door, with a seat set up on it, and on both sides. There are many torture instruments and sticks, which really look similar to those in government offices.
Although this place looked like a place where prisoners were interrogated, it had obviously been unused for a long time, although no dust was visible. But the things inside are very old, and they are basically organized together, and they don't look like they will be used frequently.
After bypassing the lobby, you can see a courtyard wall. A gate is opened on the courtyard wall. After passing through, there is a large courtyard. Saying it is very big may be a bit wrong, because this yard basically cannot be called big anymore. Comparing a football field to this is like comparing a street park to ** Square. The area of this place is simply large enough to hold military exercises. and. Not only is this place super large, it also has a variety of sports equipment. Although they are all ancient items, they really feel like a military training ground.
There is a row of houses on both sides of this huge yard. The houses are all two-story, but it is unknown how big they are inside. Considering the design of the fourteen-story prison, the house here probably also uses compressed space, so the area inside is difficult to determine.
When we came in, the square was not empty, but there were about seven or eight people sitting or standing there exercising. There were also two people who were obviously ghosts on the ground on one side. I don't know the stick. what are you doing.
As soon as Taishang Laojun and I appeared, we attracted the attention of everyone here. Those who were exercising suddenly stopped. The ghosts on the other side also stopped immediately, but when they saw Taishang Laojun next to me, they immediately put down their sticks and ran over.
"I don't know what the Supreme Lord is doing, but I missed the welcome from afar. Please forgive me." Two ghost messengers rushed to us and immediately knelt down on one knee to salute.
Taishang Laojun was not someone who liked to put on airs, so he waved his hand to let them get up, and then asked: "Are all the demon kings here still there?"
"Hui Taishang Laojun, seventeen people of the Demon King are being held in prison on the fifteenth level. They are all here."
Taishang Laojun nodded and said: "Go and ask them to gather in the square. I have something to tell them today."
"Yes." The two ghosts immediately separated after receiving the order. One of them ran to the houses on both sides to call someone, and the seven or eight demon kings in the square were immediately summoned together.
It's different from the sloppy state of the demon kings on the fourteenth floor. Although the demon kings on the fifteenth floor also stand quite loosely, you can't feel the slightest lack of laxity on them. In other words, they don't have that loose and lazy atmosphere at all, but instead give people a sharp feeling. These seven or eight demon kings stood there, like seven or eight magical weapons, and they were the kind of magical weapons that were not unsheathed. Although their sharp edges were not exposed, you only need to take a look to understand that this thing only needs one shot. Unsheathing is bound to be the result of five steps of blood splattering.
Such a terrifying aura shows that these guys are definitely much more powerful than the demon kings on the fourteenth floor, even though they are only one level apart. But the balance of power is absolutely worlds apart.
Although the venue here is very large, the speed of the ghost is not slow. Soon all the doors on both sides were opened, and then they saw demon kings coming out of their rooms one after another and coming to the square here. , and quickly gathered in the area in front of us.
After these demon kings arrived here, they didn't all stand there honestly. Although these guys are ancient demons who absorb pure spiritual energy and are not contaminated with turbid energy, they are still demons after all, so their temperament is very different from that of heavenly soldiers and generals. As soon as those guys arrived, they stood apart. Some of them stood there with their arms folded and watched, while others used stone locks for practice as stools to sit on or lean on. Anyway, they were in various positions. All. However, even though these people seem to be very undisciplined, their aura reminds others all the time that they are very difficult to mess with.
After all these guys had arrived, Taishang Laojun said: "Dear demon kings, you have been locked up in this heavenly prison for many years. Even if you had any unpleasantness before, it is time to let it go. . Coincidentally, President Ziri came to Heaven today to contact us, hoping to ask us for some powerful gods to help them expand their territory, but you also know that our divine positions in Heaven are fixed and cannot be moved. Therefore, Yu The emperor has thought of you."
"Are you planning to let us out?" One of the demon kings, who was leaning on a wooden stake, asked.
When I heard the voice, I immediately turned my eyes and found that it was a young-looking demon king. Of course, everyone here is a monster. So the appearance can only be a reference. There is a doll waiting for us outside that is nearly 10,000 years old. How old do you think the young people here are?
After asking, the other party seemed to feel my gaze, and immediately moved his gaze to me. After looking me up and down, he suddenly nodded slightly to me, as if to say hello. This move made me unable to react, mainly because the behavior of these guys before seemed quite arrogant, but he suddenly greeted me. This is a bit strange.
I was wondering over there when Taishang Laojun suddenly started talking to these guys about this pick. And because he wanted to listen to what Taishang Laojun said, the demon king also moved his eyes away.
I waited nearby for Taishang Laojun to explain all the details before Taishang Laojun let me come to the front. At this time, all seventeen pairs of eyes over there were focused on me.
The young demon king who spoke before said, "You seem to be very strong, why do you still need people like us?"
"No matter how powerful a person is, he is still just one person. Besides, is there anyone who thinks that his power is too strong? Besides, we have experts here, and others are not without them. To be honest, just Before coming this time, our Frost Rose Alliance guild city had just been invaded. The other party's power has extended to our doorstep, how can we not retaliate?"
"Are you just planning to take revenge or do you want to kill the other party completely?" asked another demon king.
I looked at the demon king and said: "Revenge is only the first step, but my ultimate goal is to gradually encroach on the opponent's territory and finally completely eliminate them."
"The ambition is good." The demon king who asked the question said: "If you need anything, just ask. As long as you can let me go out to fight, I will be satisfied."
After the demon king over there finished speaking, a ghost servant next to me immediately came up and said: "That demon king is a war maniac and likes to fight. If he doesn't fight for a day, he will feel uncomfortable all over."
After hearing this, I smiled and nodded, then glanced at the demon kings around me, and then said: "Although there are only seventeen people on your side, I only have five quotas this time, and one of them has been used up. I plan to reserve a spot on the sixteenth floor, which means that I can only choose three people from among you to go out with me. I don’t know if you want me to choose people, or do you want to arrange the order yourself? "
To be honest, according to the current situation, what I should do most is to choose the individuals I need based on the strength and ability characteristics of these demon kings. But these are demon kings and will become members of the Chaos and Order God Clan in the future. In other words, these are high-level talents. Of course, these extraordinary resources cannot be treated simply. Even if you pay people wages, whether your employees will work hard for you still depends on whether you treat these employees well or not. Therefore, without affecting my majesty, I am very polite to the gods in my guild. Not because I'm afraid of them, or because I can't control them, but because I hope they can truly identify with our guild, become an elite force in our guild, and even fight for us.
The seventeen demons here are all demon kings, and all of them are very powerful demon kings. Those who can be detained here are not ordinary people. Any one of them will play a huge role in our guild. And I discovered that gods born from demons actually have more advantages in action than orthodox gods.
The system seems to have set the characters of those demon-type gods, and their behavior is often very impulsive. Just look at Peacock and Starfire. Peacock's body is an ancient Peacock King, and she was born as a demon, so she is often very proactive in fighting, and she dares to do some projects even if there are system restrictions. On the contrary, although Xinghuo is from the Gao Tianyuan Protoss and belongs to the ghost and deity system, she has stayed in Buddhism for a long time and has always appeared in the image of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Therefore, her behavior is biased towards the righteous gods and her own thinking is relatively open-minded. , can quickly think of some solutions to problems, but she herself is a little cautious in combat. She mostly follows Peacock to perform auxiliary and remote support tasks, and rarely takes the initiative to rush forward.
If an ordinary guild builds its own guild protoss, both of these two protoss will definitely be needed. Because one is an action group, like a military attache, and the other is an ideological group, like a civil servant, the combination of the two can form a stable and complete divine force. However, the situation in our guild is slightly different. Because according to the system settings, the Guild God Clan was supposed to be a service guild. But it exists higher than the guild, a bit similar to a court. It serves ordinary people. But their functions are higher than ordinary people. However, our guild is relatively strong due to the relationship between Wei Na and me, and my own strength, so the Chaos and Order God Clan is actually more like a subordinate organization of our Frost Rose Alliance. Although the status of these gods is still very high, But Hongyue and I and the other guild leaders can mobilize the actions of the Chaos and Order Protoss. This would be impossible in other guilds.
Precisely because the Gods of Chaos and Order can be commanded by us at will, they do not need a complete command system, which means they do not need a decision-making layer. For this reason, the Chaos and Order Protoss need a large number of gods who can directly participate in actions. The gods of the demon system are obviously higher than the regular gods in terms of mobility. For example, the limited number of genuine gods in our guild are actually used by us as action personnel, but in fact, in a god clan, these gods should all exist as decision-makers.
Based on this situation, these demons will become very useful beings once they join our guild. Their mobility will far exceed those of the gods in the Chaos and Order Clan.
In fact, the Chaos and Order Gods have just completed the framework that a regular Gods should have, and there are not many gods who can be assigned to take action.
Veena is the main god. Peacock and Starfire are the guardians, and they are personal guards. In fact, the three of them should not move around at all, but because the Chaos and Order God Clan only has so many people, they can only be sent out frequently. As for Hades's Hades side, although there are many people. But their main job is to take care of things in Hades. Of course, the most important thing is to secretly operate the power of faith. So I don’t dare to use the gods in the underworld casually.
After removing these high-level gods, there are actually only a few members of the Chaos and Order God Clan left. So now these bogeymen make perfect sense to us.
It's because these guys mean so much to us that I'm so polite to them. And because we ourselves need the power of action, no matter which one of these monsters comes to our side, it will be a very useful existence, so it doesn't make much sense to choose or not. Might as well sell a favor.
When I said this, the demon kings over there did not immediately get together and start discussing. Instead, they stopped one by one and looked at me and you. I don’t know what they were communicating with their eyes. However, in this situation, It didn't last long.
After a brief exchange of breaths and eye contact, the young demon king who was the first to speak suddenly asked: "Are we really allowed to choose at will?"
I nodded and confirmed: "There are only three places, you can arrange them as you like. Moreover, I will get six more places in half a month, and there will be one more place every half month, so you will be able to go out sooner or later."
After hearing this, the demon king first looked at the medicine kings behind him, and then suddenly looked at the demon over there that the ghost messenger said before was a war maniac and said: "Duolong. You are one of them."
"Hahaha, I knew you would give me a spot. How about it? Should I give the second one to my little sister?"
The young demon king over there nodded and shouted to the other side: "Little sister, the second spot is given to you."
"Thank you, brother." A female demon king who looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old immediately bowed and thanked the demon king.
"The last spot should be given to Duojie!" the demon king finally said.
It seems that this young demon king should be the boss here. Although he communicated with his eyes before speaking, he didn't actually say anything. Therefore, his current decision should be made by himself, and the demon kings around him did not. Debate and let him choose like this shows that he must have unparalleled prestige here.
Originally, I thought the quota had been decided, but the demon king who was named over there suddenly said excitedly: "I think this quota should be given to someone else. Boss, don't take care of me anymore. Anyway, I He doesn't have a few more days to live." The guy who spoke was a dry old man who looked to be in his sixties. He was as thin as a mummy, which was very scary. Moreover, this guy's face shape is also very strange. He doesn't look like a human being, but it gives people an alternative feeling. In addition, this guy also has big buck teeth that are all sticking out, making him look quite ugly.
To be honest, the appearance of the demon was basically chosen by myself. This guy is like this, either because he is not good at studying or there must be other reasons. However, the people here are all super demon kings, so this kind of thing will definitely not happen if they are not good at their studies. Then there is only one explanation, and that is to say that the appearance of this guy is his own deliberate choice.
"You bastard." The demon king over there, who was regarded as the eldest brother, turned around and cursed, then stood up and said angrily: "It's rare for us people to survive until now. Now we finally have a chance to go out. Are you planning to die?" In this place? Where was your persistence?"
"But if I'm like this now, what will happen if I go out? I might as well give my place to you."
"There will be places available soon, and we are not the only ones who can go out. Brother Duojie, why are you so stubborn?" The Demon King, who looked like the little girl who was named before, also started to persuade.
Seeing them like this, I was also very confused, and then I thought about it and asked: "I wonder what happened to this Demon King? Why doesn't he want this place?"
When Duojie heard what I said, he immediately looked at me and said, "Thank you, President Ziri, for helping us gain freedom, but I know my own body and I don't have long left to live. You wasted a quota to pick me up." Going out is just bringing out a dead person. It’s not worth it! So, I think you should leave your spot to others!"
"Are you injured?" I looked at this guy named Duojie in surprise and asked.
Before Duojie could answer, the little girl Demon King over there rushed to say: "Brother Dorje is injured, and he cannot absorb spiritual energy in this place, so he can only rely on his own demon elixir to suppress the damage. If it weren't for us These brothers and sisters took turns to help him use his skills to suppress it, and they couldn't survive now. However, as time goes by, our strength is getting weaker and weaker, so the demon elixir of the knotty brother has begun to crack. And the eldest brother's own cultivation The ability is quite special. This ability requires strength to suppress, otherwise it will harm your body. But you also know that we are now..."
"But won't you be able to get spiritual energy if you go out? Why don't you want to go out?"
That Duojie sighed and said: "This is all fate! If you could have come hundreds of years earlier, it would be nothing. But now... Unless you use an inexhaustible large amount of high-level spiritual energy or other energy to I add, otherwise it will be too late!”
"Inexhaustible?" I was suddenly stunned when I heard this word, because our guild seems to have it. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
