Chapter 34: Fighting for Independence

This cute little girl seems harmless at the moment, but who knows what her true abilities are? Anyway, I have a lot of magic pet positions, and I don’t care about wasting one more. Now this little girl happens to be in an extremely weak state, so it will be easier to subdue her. I carefully cut my finger and dropped a drop of blood on her head. Who knew that as soon as the blood touched her forehead, it immediately disappeared with green smoke.

"Autonomous defense?" I looked back at Vina.

Weina frowned and said, "You shouldn't! Just wait a moment." As she said that, Weina put her hands on both sides of the little girl's temples. "Try again."

I put a drop of blood on it again, and the blood evaporated as quickly as before, leaving nothing behind.

Wei Na said: "It turns out this thing is causing trouble." She suddenly turned the little girl over, and then lifted up the little girl's skirt. There was a big, fluffy tail on her little butt. Pulling helplessly. Vina pressed the hair on her tail upwards, and we all noticed that there was a metal ring at the base of her tail. This ring is exactly the same as the previous sealing ring, except that it is not connected to a chain, so we didn't know there was a ring here before.

Now that you know the reason, it's easier to handle. After removing this little thing, I once again dripped a drop of blood onto the little girl's forehead. This time the blood seeped in instantly like it was dripping on a sponge. However, after the blood seeped in, a red V-shaped mark suddenly appeared on the little girl's forehead.

"What the hell is this?" I have collected so many magic pets, and I have never seen such a mark on anyone's head.

"It's the mark of resistance." Wei Na was very knowledgeable. "She was resisting the magic pet contract. The contract was 'forced' out of her body, but she still completed it, so it left such a mark."

"What's the impact of being 'forced' outside the body? I can already see her attributes here."

"It probably won't have any impact. It's just that the magic pet contract will become very loose, and you may not be able to fully command it."

"Isn't that just like Xiaochun before?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaochun immediately protested: "Am I very disobedient?"

"What do you think?"

Ling smiled and said: "Originally Xiaochun was the most naughty. Now there is another one who is more troublesome. It seems that there will be more trouble in the future."

I thought for a moment and said, "You input some magic power into her first, and I'll take a look at her attributes."

After listening to my words, Wei Na and Ling immediately started to help the little girl input the magic power, while I checked the attributes. This little girl’s race is an orc, but her name says Ancestral Orc. I can’t figure out what the difference is between this Ancestral Orc and ordinary orcs. In terms of specific attributes, the system has given some progress bars, but there are no specific numbers. By comparing the numerical bars with other familiars, it can be roughly judged that this girl is an agile melee power, and her attack power and speed are very good. height of. It might be a good helper in a real fight. In terms of special attributes, I didn't find anything. The system actually left a row of greetings for me at this location. All attributes were hidden and I couldn't see any of them. After searching for a long time, I only found out that this girl has pretty good fighting ability.

Close the properties and check, the little girl has woken up and is sitting on the bed looking around. Vina was inputting magic power behind her. She looked at each of our faces, then looked down at her clothes, and 'touched' them a few times out of curiosity.

Wei Na withdrew her staff and said, "Okay. Part of the basic power has been input, and she should be able to fully recover soon with her self-recovery ability."

The kitten looked back at Weina, then suddenly jumped out of the bed, threw herself into Weina's arms, and hung her whole body around Weina's neck. Veena was startled by her. He thought she was going to attack him. The little guy rubbed his head against Weina's face, leaving Weina stunned and completely at a loss.

I walked over and joked about Wei Na: "You really have a motherly nature! I didn't expect that my demon pet would be the closest to you!"

Wei Na laughed awkwardly. She wanted to pull the little guy off, but she couldn't. In the end, I had no choice but to grab the little guy's arm and say, "Come down, I can't hold you anymore!"

Unexpectedly, the little guy was really obedient and let go immediately. However, as soon as she landed, she jumped like a monkey onto the super-large bed in the special space for Vina in the back, and then jumped up on it like a trampoline, and let out a string of silver-like laughter from her mouth.

"Phew!" Wei Na turned around and sat down. "This girl is too energetic!"

Xiao Chun said with some worry: "She is so excited before her strength has fully recovered. What should she do if her strength fully recovers?"

Ling nodded and said, "I think I understand why the Statue of Liberty locked her up like that."

I reluctantly walked to the bed and waved to the girl: "Kitten, come here." Kitten was her name. Because she was adopted directly as a magic pet, I did not change her previous name.

The kitten stopped and tilted his head to look at me, as if he was thinking about something. Just a few seconds later, a happy smile suddenly appeared on her face, and then she ran to my side in two steps, jumped on my body, and took me two steps back. As a result, this caused her to laugh happily.

Fortunately, I still have some strength. I simply held her legs with one hand and let her sit on my arm. She seemed happy with the position. It has become much calmer, but those big eyes are still looking everywhere. After looking at the situation in the room for a long time, she suddenly turned her attention to me. After looking at it for a while, she suddenly smiled happily and hugged my head. "dad!"

"Wow!" Boom. I lost my balance and fell to the ground, and there was a snicker all around.

Ling quickly ran over and pulled me up. "Are you OK?"

I shook my head to show that I was fine, then took the kitten's little hand and asked her, "Why did you call me daddy?"

The little cat put a finger on the corner of his mouth and asked a little aggrievedly: "Isn't that right?"

"This...should be called Master, not Dad!"

"Aren't they all the same?" the little girl asked doubtfully.

"Of course it's a lot worse. I...forget it! You can call me whatever you want!" I was completely helpless. Although this girl is so young, she has already learned the tearful eyes attack method. If I object again, I will probably It has to become a fountain.

After hearing my agreement, the little girl immediately hugged my head happily and shouted: "Dad, I want to go out to play!"

"You can play. But you have to be obedient."

"Yeah. Kittens are the most obedient."

I said to Wei Na and the others: "Okay, since the kitten is fine, you go back to the Phoenix Dragon Space first. I'm going to meet Mr. Peacock Pluto."

"Okay. Call us if you need anything." Ling quickly returned to Fenglong Space with his demon pets, while Wei Na stayed behind to manage the affairs of the temple.

I left the temple and found Ling'er who was still waiting. She couldn't wait any longer and came up to me immediately when she saw me. "Have you untied it?"

I smiled and pulled the kitten out from behind. "Kitten, thank you sister quickly. Your ability to save me is due to my sister's contribution."

"Yes. Thank you, sister." Kitty immediately replied sweetly. "Thank you sister for rescuing me."

"It's so cute." Ling'er touched the little girl's head.

I interrupted them and said, "I'm free now. Should I go see His Highness right away?"

"Oh, I forgot about it."

faint! He Zhe, isn't she in a hurry? I haven't gone with her to see the Great Wheel Pluto until now!

"So we...?"

"Leave immediately."

The kitten grabbed me and asked, "Dad, where are we going? I'm going too."

Ling'er was startled, pointed at me and asked, "What did she call you?"

I shrugged helplessly: "If she insists on calling her that, I can't help it. It's okay to have more daughters anyway. Don't you think she's cute?"

Ling'er nodded and said nothing more, but took me to prepare to meet the Great Wheel Pluto. With my flying birds as a means of transportation, the speed on the road is not slow. Linger helped me point in the direction. We soon saw a mountainous area ahead, which seemed to be quite large.

I asked in confusion: "Why did His Highness the Great Wheel Pluto come here? Shouldn't this area be the territory of the demon clan?"

"You'll know this when you see the Great Wheel Pluto." Ling'er still had some brains when talking about serious matters, and he didn't fully show that childlike mentality.

"I really don't know what you are doing." I shook my head helplessly and let the bird continue to fly forward. The kitten looked around excitedly with its eyes wide open, probably because it had never flown so high and so fast before.

The mountainous area ahead is not large. I'm very surprised to meet here. As I got closer, I suddenly found that there was a heavy fog covering the mountain, and I couldn't see anything. Patting the flying bird beneath him: "Be careful to slow down and don't hit anything."

"Understood." Asuka gradually slowed down. But we quickly rushed into the fog. Strange to say. The fog looked very big, but as soon as we entered, our eyes suddenly lit up. The fog disappeared and the mountainous area disappeared.

"This is……?"

Ling'er smiled proudly and said: "The most advanced illusion among peacock illusions - dream space. A completely fictitious mana space that no one can enter except those with permission."

"Is this done by His Highness the Great Wheel Pluto?"

"That's right." Ling'er is now back to her proud little peacock state: "My mother and I arranged this together, isn't it awesome?"

"It's really amazing. If only I had such space-making ability."

"Don't think about it." Ling'er said: "Even we spent hundreds of years of cultivation to create such a large space, but this is a permanent space and will not disappear."

"That means this thing doesn't need to be supported all the time, right?"

"That's pretty much what it means!"

"What are you doing with such a big space?"

"Go and ask them." Ling'er pointed forward. I immediately noticed a large group of people standing in front of me.

The flying bird slowed down and slowly hovered in front of the opponent. The kitten and I jumped down, while Ling'er landed directly behind a beautiful woman. I knew a lot about the group of people opposite, but I just couldn't figure out what they were doing together.

"You are finally here." Shui Xu, the leader of the four guardians of the demon clan, came out and greeted: "We have been waiting for you for a long time. Come, follow us to the Tianyao Palace."

I was confused. However, he still followed Shuixu and the others into the majestic hall behind them. I had already seen the situation here just now in heaven. This place is a large piece of flat land, and it seems that a huge building complex is being built. This hall is the center of the complex. And it's finished. Buildings elsewhere are still under construction. It will probably take some time to finish everything. In fact, even this building is not completely completed, and many places inside still maintain the original color of the wood. There was no time to paint, and the plaque on the door was not hung, only a hook was left there.

When we entered the main hall, Maharaja Pluto waved his hand back. All the irrelevant people in the hall withdrew, and there were still about twenty people left, including the four guardians and Ling'er, as well as some people who looked very strong.

Shuixu, who is familiar with me, stood up. "Okay, now that everyone is here, let me introduce you first. Everyone knows President Ziri, so let's introduce the people on our side." Shui Xu first stretched out his hand to gesture to the Great Wheel Pluto. Over there: "This is...!"

I put out my hand to stop him. "His Royal Highness the Great Wheel Pluto, I know him."

"That's good." Shui Xu began to introduce again: "This is the Heavenly Lion King. He is the co-leader of the lion clan in the world."

I nodded to him, and he nodded too.

Shuixu introduced the next person. "This is His Highness the Qilin King." The person being introduced looked like an extremely handsome young man, but it could be seen from his eyes that this guy was the kind of guy with a lot of substance.

Shuxu continued to introduce the next person: "This is...!"

"Your Highness the Dragon King?" I smiled and bowed with one hand on my chest. "We have met more than once." This guy is Xiao Longnu's father. How can I not recognize him?

The old guy nodded. His expression was very serious, and he didn't know what he meant.

Following Shuixu, I introduced many people to me. They were all very powerful guys, but there was one special situation. That is, they are all masters who have cultivated living things or non-living things other than humans. For example, Pluto, the Great Wheel, although he is a god who also has a place in the Lingshan Mountain, he was a peacock before and is not considered a human being. There are also the Dragon King and Qilin King, who are obviously aliens. As for the Stone Demon King and the like behind them, they are not even living creatures. However, there is a guy in armor here who is very noteworthy, because Shui Xu introduced that this guy is the Demon King. But I don’t know why the protector, who has always been with the demon king, didn’t show up.

After introducing the people present, Shuixu returned to his seat, and a chair was brought behind me. After I sat down, the kitten sat on my lap and looked around, seeming to find these people very interesting. But I told her not to cause trouble before, so she behaved relatively calmly.

"I wonder why you summoned me here urgently?"

The Great Wheel Pluto spoke first: "I believe that with President Ziri's intelligence, he should have guessed something after hearing the names of us people, right?"

I nodded without hesitation.

Dalun Pluto continued: "That's easy to handle. Since everyone knows it well, I will be more direct. We people want to establish a demon court to compete with the heavenly court. Now we need your support and help. I don't know Zi Are President Ri and your Frost Rose Alliance willing to help with this?"

"I'm just a small guild leader. How can I help with such a big thing?" I knew it was up to me. After a long time, these guys wanted to rebel. Rebellion is a capital crime in human society, and the same is true among the gods. I don’t want to die in the dark. It's not that I'm afraid of anything, I just don't want to bear a few big enemies for nothing. Of course, if the benefits are sufficient, that's no problem.

The Great Wheel Pluto revealed a sneer that chilled people to the bone. "So President Ziri doesn't intend to help?"

Shui Xu saw that something was not right in the atmosphere and quickly came out to smooth things over. "It's not that President Ziri can't explain it! We just need to discuss a better way to come up with it. President Ziri should be able to contribute to us. Of course, we won't let President Ziri If I work with you, my efforts will be in vain, and we will not be stingy in remuneration."

I smiled. Shuixu is much smoother than Pluto. People who are too strong are often not easy to get along with, because these people are usually guys who don't know how to advance or retreat. The Great Wheel Pluto is not even afraid of the Great Sun Tathagata, and of course he is even more arrogant when talking to a little guy like me. I guess if Ling'er hadn't been standing behind her and pulling me, I might have been killed by her.

The Dragon King suddenly said: "Zi Ri. We haven't known each other for a while. I know your level. We don't need your personal fighting power, but the power of your guild to help us. You are sure about this. It can help, it just depends on whether you are willing to contribute."

"Wrong." I said resolutely: "No one knows my strength, because I don't know it myself. In addition, does His Highness the Dragon King want my guild to help you as a vanguard?"

"Of course I didn't mean it."

"Then what do you mean? Using the big to bully the small? Do you think that a guild like ours is easy to bully?"

The Stone Demon King slapped his palm on the armrest of his seat, destroying half of the armrest. "Ziri. I'm warning you, don't treat us like soft-legged shrimps. We won't care about your strength. I..."

"Hahahaha!" I laughed suddenly. "Joke, joke!"

"Why are you laughing?" Pluto asked me with a frown.

"Originally I wanted to help you, but now it seems that it is better for me to protect myself."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that it is impossible for you to compete with the Heavenly Court. If you become a king or a bandit, you can only be a bandit because you lack the basic elements to become a king."

"What basic elements?" Stone Demon King asked excitedly.

"Connotation."

Even Ling'er got angry when he heard what I said. "Are you calling us meaningless?"

"I'm not scolding you, I'm just stating the facts." I stood up from my seat. "Fortunately, some of you have worked with spiritual beings in heaven for a period of time. You haven't learned any of their good things, and you have learned all their bad habits. Do you want to be independent? Or should you just live under someone else's roof? Eat. Don’t think about the world! Rotten wood cannot be carved!"

After I finished speaking, I immediately turned and walked towards the door. The figure of the Qilin King flashed in front of me. "You can't leave."

I 'touched' the ring on my hand, and in a flash of light I had disappeared. The next second I had appeared in the teleportation array of Rock City. Hongyue was just about to send the message back to Essinger, and happened to see me appear. She said in confusion: "Didn't you just follow Pluto to see Pluto? Why are you here?"

"Forget it. Forget about the whole group of Adou who can't be helped. If they can still be saved, they will come to me again. If they can't be saved, they will probably send people to attack me. But if they do that, I will make them regret it. For life.”

"You are the worst." Hongyue walked up to the teleportation array and pushed me down. "Get out of the way, I'm going to the floating island in the New World. The living treasures you recovered have recently synthesized several powerful combat creatures. Rose said to take a few back to study whether they can be sold."

"Then you go." Watching Red Moon teleport away, I went to find Rose and talked about the money-making plan for a while, and then also received several players from American guilds. These Americans are relatively friendly Americans. They want to do business with us, so they came to negotiate with us. It happened that I had nothing to do, so I just let me do the negotiation.

We were halfway through our conversation when there was a knock on the door. "Come in."

After the door was pushed open, a player from our guild walked in. He whispered in my ear: "Rose wants me to tell you that Immovable Pluto and Shuixu have reached Isengard."

I nodded. "Got it." He turned to the American players nonchalantly and said, "Let's continue."

I didn't take the news seriously at all and continued chatting with the Americans. It wasn't until I sent them away after the conversation that I wandered around and found the rose. Rose laughed immediately when she saw me. "You are really bad!"

"Don't you have the same idea as me?"

The kitten climbed on my shoulder to look at us, and then asked in confusion: "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand you?"

Rose smiled and rubbed the little girl's head: "You will understand when you grow up." After speaking, Rose said to me: "How long do you plan to let them wait?"

"That depends on how you make them wait."

Rose said proudly: "Am I going to make a mistake? Don't worry, I didn't let anyone entertain them. I didn't even give him water, so I threw him into a broken room and let them wait, and evacuated everyone at the door. Let them Just wait!"

"Yes. Yes, you are indeed my good wife." I hugged the rose and kissed her. "They don't have the patience anyway. It would be better if we grind a little longer. Let them wait."

"Ziri...!" Ling'er's voice suddenly appeared behind me. Listening to that voice, you can tell that she is quite angry now.

I turned around and looked at her nonchalantly. "Hey, isn't this His Highness Fudo Pluto? He is not planning independent things in your dream space. How come you have time to visit me?"

"You know what I'm here for." Ling'er glared at me and said angrily.

"Eh? I know? Why can't I remember?"

"you……!"

"Calm down. Calm down." Shui Xu arrived in time and grabbed Ling'er who was about to take action. "President Ziri. I know those guys made you unhappy today, but they are like that. Can you please look at it for my sake...?"

"Just because I know they have always been like that, that's why I don't help." I put away my joking expression and said to Shuixu very seriously: "If we can't smooth out their edges this time, Then even if they establish the Demon Court, they will definitely fall even worse. In addition, I am not one of your people, we are just a cooperative relationship. It’s okay to give you a hand usually. Can I just do this kind of thing of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan? "

"But……!"

"Okay, you go back." I said very seriously: "Even if they ask you to come and lobby again, don't come. I won't go back."

"That……!"

I held out a finger: "One of them dies. As long as one of the guys here dies today, if they still want me, you can come to me again. Of course, you have to make a deal with them before you come. If It’s still the same as before and I still won’t help them. If they can’t pass this level, they will be nothing.”

Ling'er looked at me and Shuixu in confusion: "What are you talking about?"

I looked at her and said, "You can't have your own demon court before you understand what we said today."

"you……!"

Shuixu pulled Ling'er and said, "Your Highness, Prince of the Underworld, let's go! Don't be embarrassed here!"

"What? Am I embarrassed? Where am I embarrassed? Have you made it clear?" Ling'er's voice gradually faded away, and Shuixu finally pulled her away.

Rose smiled and looked at me and said, "You are so cruel!"

I smiled bitterly and shook my head. "A bunch of old kids, just like playing house, they think they can build a demon court to compete with the heavenly court. They won't understand what I say unless I hurt them. Let's deal with our affairs first."

Rose quickly changed her mind. "Our affairs are now mainly focused on rb and the United States. The battle on rb's side has always been big battles without small battles. But generally speaking, the pioneering spirit of our Chinese players is pretty good. Currently, the entire Kyushu and Shikoku Islands are occupied by Chinese players. Now, the actual control areas of rb players are only Honshu Island, Hokkaido Island and some nearby small islands. The situation in the United States seems to be more serious, but in fact it is just that the Americans can’t lose face, so it’s no big deal. In addition, Shadow Exports from planets and red planets seem to have stabilized. Our guild took the lead in contacting our own guilds to set up defense circles for all exports in China. As long as there are not too many people, it should be fine. "

"What can I do?"

"Your job is to win over the Rainbow Alliance as soon as possible. In the previous battle, the Rainbow Alliance completely fell to the Gunslinger, but since they have provided us with the information to rescue Wei Na, it means that they have already repaired the relationship with us. I have an idea. I think sometimes we can't push people too hard. If they make the first step of testing, should we give corresponding signals?"

"I understand, you don't have to worry about this." I also understand what Rose means, and it's not too troublesome to deal with. "Oh, by the way. Is there anything our guild needs to buy?"

"There are too many things to buy. What do you mean?" I was about to explain. Rose suddenly said: "Oh, I understand what you mean. What a good idea. Like this. You go to them to buy some rainbow stones. This thing It can be used for decoration. The hardness is not bad. The most important thing is that only the Rainbow Alliance has rainbow stones. If you want to repair the relationship with Yusina, use this."

"learn."

Vina was captured, and the Rainbow Alliance provided us with intelligence, which made the rescue plan successfully implemented. Then I have to show a certain friendly attitude so that they can continue with the next repair action. And buying things is a good way to repair relationships. The fact that we are purchasing items from the Rainbow Alliance means that at least we are no longer in a hostile relationship. As long as Yusina is not too stupid, she should understand what we mean.

Of course, I don’t need to contact you specifically about this matter. Besides, on the surface, we are still in a hostile state. If I get to the Rainbow Alliance, it will be difficult for both sides to talk. I sent a smarter player and several NPCs to go out to purchase rainbow stones, and I returned to Essinger. No matter how you look at it, those monsters are not reassuring to exist. These guys used to be dependent on others. They are simply not rich and don't know how much money they have. They think that as long as they are strong, they can support a religious force. In fact, that is not the case at all.

Whether it is Heavenly Court or Lingshan, these two forces are religious forces with political overtones. And politics is a product of compromise and oppression. The core of politics is interest relations, not force. Among the Great Wheel Pluto and those monsters, only Shuixu understands what political relations are, and the others are all reckless heroes. I believe these people want to set up a mountain king and let them set up the Demon Court to fight against the Heaven Court. That is unthinkable. This is like a bandit, and you give him an invincible army. Let him overthrow the current king and become the king himself, but in the end he will be overthrown by others because he does not know how to govern the country.

Parents mainly preach to their children, telling them not to play with fire and not to 'touch' electricity. But these monsters are not my children, so I don’t bother to care about them because it’s so hard to teach them. When they are burned, electrocuted and beaten, they will understand it themselves without me having to explain.

It was a rare occasion for me to return to Essinger to sit in charge, and it was the first time that I sat in the guild for several consecutive days to deal with various matters. It seems that this is the first time that the guild has been established for so long that I have really sat down to deal with the guild affairs. Now I know that Rose and their work is actually quite arduous. The kitten has become familiar with the environment in the past few days and no longer pesters me because she found a better toy. Jixiang Ruyi is now the kitten's big plush toy. I enjoy being together all day long, but this girl is so energetic that I can't hold her back.

The peaceful days only lasted for three days before something happened. I had known for a long time that those monsters were going to cause trouble, and sure enough, it was here. Erlang Shen came very early in the morning, followed by two old men with white beards. I don’t know who they were.

I started to say politely from afar: "Why did Brother Yang remember to come to me? Could it be that the Jade Emperor is looking for me again?" I am already familiar with everyone in Heaven anyway. In heaven, I basically treat NPCs who can speak earthly languages ​​as brothers. If you call your brothers and sisters more diligently, they will always treat you better. People do not blame. Be sweet and don't brag, this is my philosophy of life.

Erlangshen laughed immediately when he saw me: "You are more accurate than me in calculating. You are really right. It is indeed the Jade Emperor who passed down the fortune to you."

"Then let's leave right away? Don't keep the Jade Emperor waiting."

"please."

He followed Erlang Shen and flew to heaven, and asked by the way: "Brother Yang! I wonder if the Jade Emperor is looking for me this time because of those monsters? Reveal some of the inside story first, so I can answer it later!" "

Erlang Shendao: "Actually, I don't know much. I heard that the demons are doing something to the demon court and want to compete with our heavenly court. Recently, several groups of our magic soldiers were attacked halfway, and many people died. The Tuo Tower King and The three boys from his family all went out to catch monsters, and they did kill a lot of monsters. But for some reason, the monsters seemed to have become more powerful this time. Many monsters that had not been seen before appeared, and we also suffered a bit. . The Jade Emperor is probably going to use your connections to find out what happened. It would be much easier for us if you knew this information."

I nodded: "Of course I have some information. You also know that I am the middleman! Of course intelligence is the key."

"What? Do you really know?" Erlang Shen became excited upon hearing this. "Then you hurry up and reveal something to me first. I can then lead the troops to exterminate some monsters and get some credit! You don't know, now that the Jade Emperor has let go, which god will be able to destroy a large number of monsters?" There is a big reward. After I get promoted, I can take care of you more in heaven, right?"

This guy is not stupid, but what he said is indeed true. I nodded and said: "Of course. Big brother, come here." I taught Erlang Shen for a while, and he nodded his head while listening.

As soon as I entered Nantianmen, Erlangshen said to me immediately: "That... Ziri! Look, you know the road behind this, am I...?"

I immediately understood what he meant and said politely: "It doesn't matter, brother, hurry up and get rid of the demon. I know the road behind, I will just go there myself. Brother, please remember what I just said!"

"That's that." Erlang Shen answered and ran out.

I shook my head helplessly and turned around to enter the Nantian Gate. I nodded and said hello to the gods I knew along the way, and soon arrived at the edge of the lotus pond. The matter that the Jade Emperor wanted to talk to me about was not something that could be discussed in public, so it was not in the Lingxiao Hall, but by the lotus pond.

When I arrived, the Jade Emperor was explaining something to a group of people. When he saw me appearing, he immediately sped up and said a few words to wave those people away. I walked to the Jade Emperor and saluted.

The Jade Emperor asked in confusion: "I asked Zhenjun Erlang to pick you up, why are you here alone?"

"Zhenjun sent me to the door and left first. It seemed that the battle on the front line was tense, and he was anxious to direct the battle on the front line. I wonder why the Jade Emperor called me here?"

"Stop pretending to me. You don't have any information about me. Why are you asking me? Tell me, how much do you know about this incident?"

This Jade Emperor is really shrewd. But I already knew that he must have sent someone to monitor me, so I didn't care. Besides, the advantage of being a middleman is that I can freely contact people from any force without being suspected. If people from heaven mix with demons secretly, they will definitely be treated as traitors, but it doesn't matter to me. I'm just a middleman. It's weird if I don't have contact with them.

I smiled and said to the Jade Emperor: "Actually, I don't know much about what happened this time. The demons seemed to have contacted the non-human monks in Lingshan and Heavenly Court to form a demon court. Originally, they planned to recruit me. , but I sternly rejected it. I am loyal to Heaven. How could I help the demon!"

The Jade Emperor smiled and said: "I believe you when you say you reject them. I don't believe you when you say you rejected them for the sake of heaven. It was you who brought about the first alliance between heaven and demon land. Do you think I can't know who you are? Don't. When it comes to those scenes, it’s just the two of us, so let’s be direct. Do you know how much power the demon has this time?”

"I don't know about this. When I came into contact one day, I only saw the leader. It seems that many people have been poached from Lingshan and Tianting. The strange thing is that the Buddhist sect in Lingshan didn't say anything. But according to me Look, Buddhism probably encountered some problems, and even this alliance of demons and demons was caused by Buddhism. As for their military strength, although I didn’t see it. But since they can find so many bosses, their family background is probably It’s all there.”

"You said there is something wrong with Buddhism?" The Jade Emperor seemed to be more energetic. He asked me seriously: "What do you think? Tell me?"

In fact, compared to the petty troubles of demons, what the Jade Emperor is really afraid of is Buddhism. If Buddhism can be killed, the demons will be nothing. So I said that when something went wrong in Buddhism, the Jade Emperor was more nervous than anyone else, because he saw a very important opportunity.

I knew the Jade Emperor was very concerned about this. "Actually, the Jade Emperor himself should be able to think of it."

"Can I think of it?" The Jade Emperor pondered for a moment. "You'd better tell me what you think first, and I'll take it as a reference."

"Okay then. Buddhism is not our Chinese religious force. Speaking of which, their birthplace should be India, but they have developed better here."

"Of course I know this, but what does this have to do with the demon rebellion?"

"It has a lot to do with it. Demons have existed in our land of China for more than a day or two. Why didn't the Demon Court be established before?" After a pause, the Jade Emperor thought about my words, and then continued: "I didn't think of setting up the Demon Court. Method is one reason. Another reason is power. The power of demons has always been inferior to that of me, the righteous people. Therefore, it is impossible to form a force like the Heavenly Court. The demons can still survive in the cracks when they are scattered around the world. But once they form the Demon Court, they will have to They faced us head-on, so in the past when they had no power, even if they thought of forming a demon court, they would not do it."

The Jade Emperor asked: "Does that mean they have this power now?"

"Yes." I said seriously: "Power will not appear for no reason, and ideas will not come out by themselves. Based on the conditions of a demon alone, I would not think of such a thing as establishing a demon court, nor do I have the power to establish a demon court. But they still established the Demon Court. This shows that something happened that we don’t know about, and this incident gave the demons such ideas and such power."

The Jade Emperor nodded to express his approval of my inference. I continued: "This can be related to the issue of Buddhism. I saw the Tianshi King when they were looking for me this time."

"You mean the number one lion king under Buddhism?" the Jade Emperor asked in surprise.

I nodded. "Not only him, I also saw two more ruthless ones."

"who?"

"The Immovable Pluto and the Great Wheel Pluto."

"What?" Jade Emperor jumped up from his seat. This news is so shocking. The Great Chakra Pluto and the Great Sun Tathagata are on the same level. If Shu Dalun Pluto leaves Buddhism, it would be almost equivalent to someone like the Queen Mother running away in heaven. This is simply unimaginable. And speaking of it, the power of this Great Wheel Pluto is different from that of Heaven. The centralization of power in the Heavenly Court is very good. Except for a few loose immortals and overseas immortals who are not directly under the Heavenly Court, there are only a few extraordinary masters such as Leader Hong Jun and Yuanshi Tianzun who refuse to listen. But Buddhism is different. In Buddhism, Tathagata only has a series of troops under his command, and the other forces are also in chaos. The Great Wheel Pluto almost rules the Peacock Clan. In addition to the Immovable Pluto, she also has a bunch of masters, almost all of whom are her direct descendants. Don't listen to Tathagata's command at all. For this reason, it would be fine if someone from heaven ran away, but it would be very serious if someone ran away from Buddhism, especially a strong man with many subordinates like the Great Wheel Pluto.

I said to the Jade Emperor: "The Great Wheel Pluto is a front-line figure in Buddhism. I don't need to tell you how powerful she is. The Jade Emperor should also know. What's more, her subordinates are all direct descendants and don't listen to the Tathagata's orders at all. They can use them however they want." Use. People like this have left Buddhism. Isn’t that evidence that something is wrong with Buddhism?”

The Jade Emperor said: "Is this how you infer that something happened in Buddhism?"

I nodded: "The Great Wheel Pluto is powerful. Once united with the demons, the demons will be able to compete with the heavens. This is the courage of the demons. At the same time, although the Great Wheel Plutos are trained by peacocks, they are still in Buddhism. The overlords of one side know the ruling institutions like Heaven very well, and only they can come up with such a method. So I say that the main reason for this demon rebellion is still with Buddhism."

"You mean that Buddhism deliberately harms us?"

"That's not possible." I shook my head: "Tathagata is not so bold yet. The Great Wheel Pluto has always been at odds with Tathagata in Buddhism. Even if she is allowed to lie, she probably won't listen to Tathagata, so this It can be ruled out.”

"Then what do you think happened within Buddhism?"

"A crisis of faith."

"Crisis of faith?" The Jade Emperor was stunned for a moment.

"Actually, it's very simple. Buddhism originally developed very well in our Middle-Earth, but then I messed with it. Heaven and the demons joined forces to drive out their influence. In this way, the number of Buddhist believers will be greatly reduced. In addition, Although Buddhism was originally a religion in India, the largest sect in India is not Buddhism. It is Hinduism. Buddhism’s sphere of influence in China has been weakened. It has no roots in the country, so they do not have enough followers. As a religion . It is terrible that there are not enough believers. Due to the loose system of Buddhism itself and the crisis of faith, it is natural that the restraint of the Buddha on these subordinates is not enough. Overlords like the Great Wheel Pluto take their subordinates to find another company. It’s easy to understand how to establish a portal.”

"As you said, isn't Buddhism about to disintegrate?" the Jade Emperor asked excitedly.

"It won't be disintegrated. I'm afraid it's inevitable to break the muscles and bones." I said to the Jade Emperor: "Actually, we used the power of demons to squeeze Buddhism out of the Middle Earth, which already damaged its roots. But at that time, they still had The power of counterattack. Now it is probably the Tathagata who has done something that hurts unity. This has caused the mythical beasts and the like in the Buddhist forces to rebel against Buddhism."

After hearing my words, the Jade Emperor began to meditate, his eyes suddenly murderous, and sometimes confused. I didn't care about him, I found a place to sit down, and took all the food and drinks from Jade Emperor's side. I never meet these great people empty-handed. These super NPCs usually have several kinds of top-quality food or drinks, and the Jade Emperor is certainly no exception. Among the things on the table now are "Sakai Jade Liquid", "Purple Jade Grapes" and "Fairy Fruit". Sakai Tam'ye' is a sweet wine that tastes similar to rice wine, but has a sweeter texture. The degree is not high. In addition to being delicious, this product can also increase the speed of magic recovery. It is simply a super tonic. If you don’t drink it, it’s useless. The purple jade grape also tastes good, much more delicious than real grapes, and it can also increase the upper limit of endurance, which is also a rare good thing. Finally, this fairy fruit is the most useful to me. This thing adds physical defense. Eating one adds ten points, and it can be stacked infinitely. So every time I go to heaven, I always eat and pack it, and I can take as many as I can carry with me.

By the time the Jade Emperor figured things out, I had already sorted out everything on the table. It's a pity that there are no fairy sisters nearby, otherwise I would have asked them to get a few more plates. Of course the Jade Emperor didn't care about these little things and didn't even look at the fruit cores on the table. "Zi Ri! According to what you said, Buddhism probably doesn't have any team members anymore. On the contrary, the demons have a large number of helpers, and they are quite powerful!"

I laughed. I knew this guy was dark, but I didn't expect him to be so dark. He said that Buddhism has no team, and said that demons are difficult to deal with. The meaning is obvious - he wants to deal with Buddhism. They say that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and a rotten ship has three pounds of nails. Buddhism has such a big foundation and has stood on our land of China for so many years. There can always be a lot of good things. It turned out that they were very strong and had so many things in their hands that it didn't matter. Now that his strength is gone and he still has a bunch of good things in his hand, how could the Jade Emperor just watch and not do anything?

I smiled and said to him: "I understand what the Jade Emperor means, but what does the Jade Emperor mean by telling me?"

The Jade Emperor smiled evilly. "You also know that we have always had a good relationship with Buddhism. Suddenly...this...you also know. So...? Do you understand?"

Although the Jade Emperor told me clearly. But I understand the consciousness. He Zhe just wants the treasure, but doesn't want to fall into the trap of burning bridges. It's really boring. But this is exactly what I want. "Since the Jade Emperor has such an idea, it's okay for us to do an outsourcing mission!"

"What is outsourcing?" The Jade Emperor didn't know much about our new term.

"Is this outsourcing... it's your job, but if you don't want to do it for various reasons, then the entire job will be dispatched and other groups or individuals will complete it for you. Of course, this will be charged."

"Oh, I understand." Jade Emperor said quickly: "Then I will outsource this matter to your guild. What do you think?"

"I want to protect you, but even if this Buddhism is no longer good, it still has some power. Especially the Great Sun Tathagata, that guy's strength...?"

The Jade Emperor stretched out his hand to stop me from continuing: "I will lend you the Sifang Guard for a few days, and then you can return it to me after the task is completed."

Aren't there four people guarding the four sides: Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu? If the four of them came together, the Great Sun Tathagata would still be able to do the job. It's really tempting to think about it. "Um... just these four people probably can't do it, right? Buddhism is not just Guang Tathagata. Those ancient Buddhas and Arhats are also very strong! Our guild says that it is the best on the land, but we have to fight against the gods. , it seems that there are not many people who can take action!"

The Jade Emperor frowned, rolled his eyes for a long time, and suddenly said: "Do you know the sacred beast that protects the country?"

"Is the Jade Emperor talking about the Bi Ling, the white jade unicorn, and the golden dragon?"

"It's good that you know. I remember that your guild can choose one of them to be the guardian beast. It seems that you haven't moved yet?"

"I really want to move, but unfortunately I can't! We chose Biling, but his body needs to recover and there is no way to use it!"

The Jade Emperor said: "I know three treasures. The first is the Water of Rebirth, the second is the Tears of Kindness, and the third is the Golden Dragon Reverse Scale. If you can get these three things, you can resurrect them all." . Since Biling is your guild beast, he will naturally be at your disposal. Since you saved the other two, it shouldn't be a problem to ask them to help you with something, right?"

"Sounds good, but these three things probably won't be too easy to get, right?"

"Then will you take it or not?"

"Of course. How can you let go of such a valuable thing. Jade Emperor, if you know the information about the three treasures, please tell me immediately."

"The information is here, go back and read it yourself." The Jade Emperor gave me a large scroll. Looking at the size, I knew that the mission was absolutely abnormal. Even the mission description was so long. After handing over the scroll, the Jade Emperor continued: "As for the reward for helping me deal with Buddhism...! It's up to you to do it."

I thought for a while and said, "I may need to go back and discuss this. After all, the matter is a bit big and I can't make the final decision alone."

"It doesn't matter, you can discuss it slowly. Or you can get those three things first and then come back to talk to me. Anyway, I have been waiting for so many years, and I am not in a hurry at this moment."

The evil deal between me and the Jade Emperor was roughly settled, and I took the scroll back to Isengard like a whirlwind. As soon as I entered the city, I took out the Ring of Love and informed Rose: "All the backbones are gathered together to discuss important matters."
