Du Shuo remained silent, and the silence was his resistance.
Miao Dao looked at the monster lying in front of him.
The demon's dark eyes looked at him coldly, obviously injured so badly that he couldn't even get up, but there was still no weakness or surrender in his eyes.
This kind of eyes made him feel very uncomfortable. He remembered himself when he was young, fell into the mud, and looked at the huge nine-tailed fox demon in front of him with such eyes. At that time, he was weak and powerless. , In the face of such a powerful existence, he can only watch his companions die one by one, helpless.
Since then, being weak in his heart is an original sin.
He would never let himself fall into that situation again.
Now the big demons have split into the spiritual world and left this world, and human beings have gradually become the masters of this world. The once feared and powerful demons are being swept away by humans one by one because of their scarcity.
"Now, I'm the strong one, and you are just a poor bastard who is powerless to resist." Miaodao looked down at Du Shuo, "The weak must look like the weak, and if you don't say anything, I will let you know that you disobey me. fate."
He stretched out two thin fingers, and the slender fingers overlapped and twisted into a strange gesture. The runes on the chains on Du Shuo's body lit up, with scarlet blood, and twisted slowly and strangely.
Du Shuo's expressionless face finally changed, and an uncontrollable painful guttural sound came from his throat.
"Speak." True Monarch Miaodao cruelly waited for the answer he wanted.
The blue veins burst out on the forehead of the demon lying on the ground, his fingers grabbed the cracks of the bricks on the ground to support his body, and the blood-stained red iron chain swam in and out of his body, but the answer was a low roar.
There was no joy or anger on the face of the national teacher. His fingers stretched into his sleeves and slowly pulled out a purple talisman. As soon as the purple talisman came out, it had not even been sacrificed in the air, and the room was already intertwined and dazzling. The silver lightning flashed, and the electric bar slammed on Du Shuo Chiguo's back, pulling his whole body back to the floor tiles, making a dull sound.
A strong and powerful palm appeared out of thin air and suddenly grabbed the wrist of the national teacher holding the talisman.
Hao Han's tall figure appeared beside the National Teacher. He held the National Teacher's slender wrist and frowned, "Master, be merciful. Du Shuo can't hold it anymore."
Miao Dao turned his face to the apostle beside him, "Today, are you even planning to rebel against me?"
"No, I don't mean to rebel against you. My clan advocates power. From the day you defeated me, you have been the object of my worship." Hao Han looked at the face of the national teacher, and slowly released his hand, He knelt down in front of him, "Master, it's just a weak fox. In order to survive, it has been in the human classroom for many years to make a living, and it has not found any evil deeds that hurt people. Why do you need to be so angry? Carefully hurt the body."
Master Miaodao sat down with the table, his voice sarcastic, "Without this physical body that has held up for so many years, the contract will be terminated naturally, isn't it right in your arms?"
Saying this in his mouth, he finally put away the talisman.
"What's the matter with you coming in?"
"Back to the master, the little girl who came here last time came back from outside the fortress. She passed by the capital and came to see her, and she is waiting outside the gate at the moment."
"Oh, I came back after finishing my work so soon. I can't see that that little girl still knows how to come to visit, so she knows the etiquette. Let her come in." Miaodao waved his sleeves, and Du Shuo's figure was motionless on the ground. It started to get smaller, and was finally pulled by the murals and submerged into the murals. Somewhere in the murals where the ink and wash paintings were made, there was a little man who was wearing chains and crawling on the ground.
Yuan Xianger and Nan He came to the square where the Sifang statues were erected.
At this point, Nanhe was blocked by the barrier, so he couldn't get in.
"Don't be afraid."
"Don't be afraid."
Two almost identical words sounded at the same time.
Yuan Xiang'er laughed dumbly and reached out to hold Nan He's palm. Compared to his own hand, that palm is both wider and warmer. Give her peace of mind.
In Yuan Xianger's impression, Nan He still looked like a young wolf, and he should hold him, protect him, and comfort his fear. I don't know when it started, the little wolf has really become the man in front of him.
Long legs, bee waist, lean and powerful.
He was standing in front of him at this moment, reliable and powerful, his eyes were firm, and he wanted to protect himself.
"Don't be afraid when you go in." Nan He looked at her, and there was a real starlight in his eyes, "If you encounter anything, call me through the contract. I will definitely be able to rush in."
"Well, I call you."
It feels so good to be protected. It is a lifetime of luck to have someone who can trust and protect each other.
This time, it was no longer Du Shuo who came to welcome Yuan Xianger, but a strange-looking old man. He was wearing a coat with brown feathers. After saying, "Come with me." He hunched his back, dragged his long coat, and led the way in front of him without saying a word.
Yuan Xianger was walking in the long corridor that she walked through last time, and she kept chatting with Nan He through the apostle contract in her heart.
"The last time I entered the house, I broke contact with Wu Yuan. It seems that there is only a magic circle in the house that blocks spiritual communication."
"Um."
"After I go in, although I can't talk to you, if I am in danger, you can still detect it, so don't worry too much."
"Um."
"Under normal circumstances, I won't have a conflict with the national teacher. I just want to explore Du Shuo's situation, and then I will act by chance."
"it is good."
If it wasn't for communication with her mind, how could Yuan Xianger know how many uncontrollable worries lie beneath these short words.
"Anan, do you know that demons are stronger than humans, but why are humans gradually becoming the masters of this world?"
"Why?"
"Because we humans don't just rely on force to solve all problems. Sometimes we can use various methods, such as negotiation, strategy, or deception, when our strength is beyond our reach. All in all, there is not only one way to solve it. Seed." She had already walked to the familiar door.
The old man who led the way stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, then stood there with his hands down, without saying a word.
When I came last time, Dusu was standing in this position.
"Miao Dao is not a good person, don't come here again after you go back."
That's what Du Shuo said at the time.
"I'm in, Nanhe." Yuan Xianger said the last sentence in her mind, then lifted her foot and walked through the barrier into the house.
Miao Dao was still sitting in the original position, he raised his hand, and a banshee with a human face and snake body swam over to watch tea for Yuan Xianger.
"Is the trip outside the Great Wall going well?" Miao Dao above the main seat said warmly.
Yuan Xianger looked up at this man. The last time they met, he regarded himself as a friend of his master, taught formations, and gifted Lingyu. Although they differed greatly in concept, Yuan Xianger still regarded him as a senior in Taoism.
Now, knowing about his indiscriminate killing and brutality, Yuan Xianger only hated this person in her heart. She played with her spirit, showed her business negotiation literacy back then, and laughed, so as not to let the enemy see the slightest clue.
"It was a little unexpected, but it was a success in the end." Yuan Xianger even held the beef jerky purchased outside the Great Wall as a gift, and told the story of her northwest party.
"This is a special product, brought here to give you a taste."
Although it was not a valuable thing, Miao Dao seemed a little happy, and motioned to Hao Han, who was behind him, to take it.
"It's just a trivial matter for mortals, and it's worth your time and travel. You should do more important things that can make a name for yourself at your age, so as to leave prestige and establish a reputation in the world. ."
"Since I have learned magic from Master, there is always a place where I can use it. No matter how big or small it is, it's a good thing to feel happy."
"You child, it's interesting to speak, and you have the same breath as your master." There was a rare smile on the corner of Miao Dao's mouth.
"Otherwise, how could he be my master's apprentice? Master was very keen to help 'people' back then. He worked tirelessly to solve problems for the neighbors. I don't know how many people he helped."
Miao Dao's smile stopped, "Yu Yao has always been like this."
"Yeah," Yuan Xianger said, "Master, although he is a monster, he likes humans very much. Otherwise, he would not have accepted me as his apprentice, and left his Pisces array to me."
Miao Dao pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Yuan Xianger quietly looked at this powerful national teacher. He has been famous for a long time, but now he still looks smooth and well-proportioned. Except for being thinner, he is almost the same as a young man. It can be seen that he has achieved little in Taoism. The first glimpse of heaven, and the practice of longevity and long-term vision.
"Pisces array." Miao Dao read this word, remembered something in his heart, pondered for a moment, and said to Yuan Xiang'er, "I have a business, and there is no suitable person to do it. Thinking about it now, you are the most suitable person."
"National teacher, you are the master of the senior, what can I do for the junior?"
"In Tianlang Mountain, there is a blue dragon that returns to its nest every sixty years. This year coincides with his return. This dragon has a water spirit bead, which can go into the deep sea. I want to use this bead."
"The ability of the predecessors, if you want to go into the water, just pinch a water avoidance trick. Why do you need to toss like that, the dragon's mouth grabs food, it's not a joke."
"You live inland, but you don't know that at the bottom of the sea, there are also mountains and rivers, abyss and canyons. The depths are tens of thousands of miles away. Even us cultivators, if we go unprepared, we will also It was instantly crushed into minced meat. Therefore, the only way to find the water spirit pearl is to find it."
"Why do you go to such a deep seabed?"
"You don't have to know this, you just need to know that this pearl is very important to me. If you can help me get this pearl, no matter what you want, I can give it to you."
Yuan Xianger was overjoyed. This is an opportunity. When the other party also has something to ask for, the negotiation will be easier. She suppressed the emotions in her heart, and did not show the slightest on her face, but shook her head again and again,
"I won't go no matter how much you give me, that's the Dragon Cave. The National Teacher is afraid that he will go back without success, right? My little life is not enough for others to stick between their teeth."
"No, you are different, you are Yu Yao's apprentice, the dragon is the king of the water clan and Kunpeng is the best. Even if you offend one or two, he will never take your life. Besides, you have the support of the Pisces array, so you can There is something, you can always run for your life. If I give you more magic weapons and spiritual treasures, I will succeed."
Yuan Xianger secretly complained about being a wonderful person. Dragon Cave, the lair of the ancient demons, how could it be as easy as he said. This man doesn't care about the lives of others for what he wants.
She pretended to be unaware of the matter, tilted her head naively and thought about it, and finally reluctantly said, "Since it's not difficult, then I'll try it out. I just want to ask the national teacher before I go. The adults are asking for something."
Miao Dao showed a happy expression, "But it doesn't matter, as long as you get back the water spirit beads for me, I will give you whatever you want."
"That's it," Yuan Xiang'er said with a full smile, "Look, there are so many powerful apostles around you, which makes people very enviable. But there are only two or three kittens and puppies around me. If I go to the dragon cave to fight, one is very powerful. Nothing. It's really inconvenient."
"So I want you to lend me Du Shuo." Yuan Xiang'er said with a smile.
When Miao Dao heard this, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant. He put his hands into his sleeves, leaned back on the back of the chair slowly, and waited for a while before slowly opening his mouth.
"There are so many of my apostles, why do you only want to cross the Shuo?" The voice was soft and soft, cold, and could not hear any joy or anger.
But Yuan Xianger's back inexplicably got goosebumps, she took a breath and stabilized her mood. I suspect that as long as one of my words is not answered correctly, the national teacher who claims to be his friend's friend will turn his face and refuse to recognize him.
This is what she has learned through negotiation in the workplace. The more vicious the other party is, the more stable she is, because she doesn't think she should be afraid of such people.
"Damn, I've only seen the skills of the apostles around you. I only saw Duan Shuo. When I fought against Du Shuo at the time, my team with the underage wolf in my family was not his opponent. I thought he was very powerful." Yuan Xianger Say 'frankly and sincerely' without any stagnation.
Miao Dao squinted her eyes and 'looked' at the girl in front of her. The girl's voice sounded innocent. Her whole body's spiritual power was in the perception of Miao Dao's closed vision. .
He thought about it a few times, thinking that Du Shuo had only met Yuan Xianger once or twice, and he was still under the watchful eyes of himself and his apprentice. In any case, there should be no friendship.
And Yuan Xianger did go outside the Great Wall, so it should be impossible for him to know about the capture of the nine-tailed fox.
Maybe it's really just a coincidence.
Miao Dao slightly relaxed the vigilance he had just raised.
"Du Shuo can't. Except for Du Shuo and Hao Han, you can choose any of my other apostles."
"Senior, you are not very authentic, and you said that you can ask for whatever you want. You told me to go to such a dangerous place as the Dragon Cave, and even the more powerful apostles refused to lend me one. Go back and get some kittens and dogs to fool me. I'm sorry." Yuan Xianger stood up and patted her skirt unhappily, "Then I'm not going."
Miao said, "I will choose another two powerful people to help you."
"I don't, I have to cross the plastic. I can't tell whether the others are powerful or not. They are all more powerful than me." Yuan Xianger directly hit the bar, "I think about it, as long as I cross the Shuo. If you don't give it, you can't go. ,that's it."
This opportunity is very good, can be a little stronger. When she first came, she did not expect to encounter such an opportunity. If he grasped it, he might be able to save Du Shuo's life, or at least hope to suspend his death.
The negotiation with the national teacher was very delicate. She quietly tried to touch the bottom line of Miaodao again and again, and finally saw that Miaodao really cared about that water spirit bead. So by being young, stick to your position.
Miao said that he had been in a high position for many years, and no one dared to talk to him like this.
Can only frown, "Don't be petty."
"Where am I being petty, senior. I used to ask my master for something, and the master always agreed quickly and never said I was petty."
"Master, it's just a loan, what's the point. The water spirit pearl is a big deal, and that insignificant little fox is handed over to us to track down." Hao Han bent down and whispered in the ear of the national teacher.
The national teacher was agitated for a while, waved his sleeves, and a figure covered in blood fell from the mural.
"It's not because I don't want to borrow it. He is injured and has difficulty moving. You can't even stand up. I'm afraid he won't be able to help you."
When he said these words, Du Shuo, who heard everything in the mural, stretched out his hands to support the ground, and stood up little by little. When his voice fell, the long-haired demon had already stood still in silence. shape.
Miao Dao pinched his brows, and had to take out three talismans from his sleeves, "This is the magic talisman that controls the soul-soothing lock on his body. If he doesn't obey, you can drive this talisman, which can make him feel like he has entered an endless hell."
"Okay, I will definitely use it well." Yuan Xiang'er took the talisman from him, and a small hand of Bai Shengsheng continued to spread in front of Miao Dao's eyes.
"Master National Teacher, what other spiritual talisman tools should be given. I'm going to the Dragon Cave. Anyway, give me some life-saving props."
Miao said: "..."
Yuan Xianger walked on the corridor outside the house holding the Soul Lock, followed by intermittent footsteps, the iron cable in her hand was sticky and greasy, Yuan Xianger looked back, Dusu walked very slowly, but the footsteps never stopped. The pale face was covered in cold sweat, and a row of shocking footprints fell on the ground behind him.
"Can you go? What is your body? Make it smaller, shall I take you with me?" Yuan Xianger couldn't help saying.
"Don't talk, first... go out." Du Shuo shook his head slightly.
