"I don't think you can't get it." Li Jinglong supported the wall, adjusted his inner breath, stood up reluctantly, and said to Yang Guozhong.
"If you can't get it, you can't get it." Yang Guozhong spread his hands and said calmly, "I tried it once before and failed. Now it is sealed by your heart lamp. Unless Hong Jun voluntarily turns into a demon, there is no way. But I already have three demon seeds, and I can become a demon without relying on King Peacock Daming's god-devil unity, so what's the point if I tell you the truth?"
"Two." Li Jinglong said in a deep voice.
"That's right." Yang Guozhong's complexion changed, and he said coldly, "I have not yet settled the matter with you for destroying my own soul in Dunhuang, which I cultivated with so much painstaking efforts."
Li Jinglong laughed instead, and said: "Yang Xiangguo, or... Your Majesty the Demon King, this is interesting. I didn't look for you, but you relied on me first?"
Yang Guozhong flicked his sleeves and said, "Either I give up all three heart demons and give away this little friend next to you for nothing, and help him become a demon, how about?"
Li Jinglong's face changed immediately, and Yang Guozhong said: "With your strength, it is a fluke to be able to seal the nightmare of the three thousand worlds. If you come again, your heart lamp will be completely destroyed. Young people, it is important to have confidence in yourself." That's fine, but don't get too arrogant."
Li Jinglong said in a deep voice: "The soul that has been released will eventually be taken back one day. What business do you want to do?"
Yang Guozhong was silent for a long time, and looked at Li Jinglong. After a long time, there was a little appreciation in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Yadanhou, you are much smarter than I imagined."
"The second heart demon is on your body." Li Jinglong said calmly, "Am I guessing right?"
Yang Guozhong didn't answer, Hong Jun quickly cut to a point, and said in a low voice: "What Lu Xu once had was the nightmare of the Three Thousand Worlds, so what is it about you?"
Yang Guozhong's expression changed instantly, and Li Jinglong knew that Hong Jun's words had hit the point. The three souls of the black dragon prison had each turned into a demon, and the first one borrowed Lu Xu's spirit of the white deer to absorb the nightmares of the world. The second one is on his own body, the resentment and pain absorbed by the world must have a source.
And the third one, as expected, was on An Lushan's body!
Yang Guozhong naturally wouldn't talk to him about how to refine the inner demon, he just said: "Go get the third inner demon back for me."
"On An Lushan's body?" Li Jinglong said slowly, finally grasping Yang Guozhong's vital point in his heart.
"Exactly." Yang Guozhong nodded politely and replied, "Ten years ago, I used three souls to transform into three demons, and I gave one of them to this fellow. I used the magic weapon to cut off my connection with the third soul, and absorbed the world for my own use. As time passed, it became more and more uncontrollable, and someone needed to kill him to release the inner demon trapped in An Lushan's body."
Li Jinglong glanced at Hong Jun, and Hong Jun felt that this situation was simply absurd. He was clearly here to kill Xi Prison, so it's fine if he couldn't kill him, but now Xi Prison entrusts them with work
Li Jinglong said: "For the exorcist, you should know that whether it is a demon or a prison, you are all targets to be eradicated. Yang Xiang, where did you get the confidence to think that I will do this with you?" Buy or sell?"
Yang Guozhong smiled and said: "Yadan Hou, forgive me, this time I was also forced to come forward by you. If you hadn't messed around in the emperor's mausoleum case, why would I have such a risk?"
Li Jinglong said seriously: "This is too flattering of me. An Lushan wants to find a reason to deal with you, so what does he have to do with the Exorcist?"
"I came to see you in person that day, and I thought you could understand." Yang Guozhong said coldly, "With your strength, it's no problem to trap a Gu ape with everyone..."
Hongjun: "!!!"
Seeing that he was exposed, Li Jinglong simply stopped playing the game, and said seriously: "That's right, because of this, I was able to drive you to nowhere, so I came forward to clean up and solve it myself."
"You don't know." Yang Guozhong suddenly moved a little closer, and his power became stronger, and he said word by word, "If I want to kill someone, I have to find a reason. I won't kill people who vote for me." But in An Lushan's hit, there is only destruction and killing, now you and I have nowhere to go, we must join hands to eradicate him."
"This is your own mistake." Li Jinglong said.
Yang Guozhong narrowed his eyes, looked at Li Jinglong, and finally said: "Yes, so what?"
Li Jinglong said in a deep voice: "I can retrieve the third demon soul for you, but you must also know what conditions I will put forward."
Yang Guozhong looked at Li Jinglong unpredictablely.
"Why do you want to become a demon?" Hong Jun asked suddenly, "My father resisted so much that it even made me and my mother... but you..."
"So I changed my mind." Yang Guozhong said in a deep voice.
Li Jinglong: "..."
Hong Jun's breathing became short of breath, and he saw Yang Guozhong pacing slowly in the high wall again, and said seriously: "I can't agree to your conditions, Li Jinglong. But if you ask for the price and pay back the money, I can wait for you for another hundred year."
As he said that, he looked at Hong Jun, and Hong Jun instantly understood... Yang Guozhong was willing to wait until they died!
For a big monster like Xie prison with a lifespan of thousands or even thousands of years, a hundred years in the world is probably only ten or a few years of human life.
"What if I live a hundred years?" Hong Jun said coldly.
"You won't." Yang Guozhong stared at Hongjun, showing a meaningful smile, "The offspring of monsters and mortals live as long as mortals. This is destined by the heavens. You cannot have both supernatural powers and wisdom."
"Perhaps I don't have to wait until a hundred years. As for what arrangement you want to leave behind, you can do whatever you want. It's not impossible to postpone this doomed war."
Li Jinglong glanced at Hong Jun, and Hong Jun felt inexplicably relieved. In fact, even he himself doesn't know how long he can live, and Chongming never told him, but he has thought about this question more than once.
A hundred years later, Li Jinglong is no longer in this world, and the past grievances may no longer be important by then. But it is foreseeable that after the death of Hong Jun and Li Jinglong, Yang Guozhong will come to take away his demon seed.
"You must leave Chang'an." Li Jinglong said in a deep voice.
"It's inevitable." Yang Guozhong said in a deep voice, "After all... your emperor has reached the end of his life, and Chang'an is no longer my era. After his death, I will take Yuhuan away."
Hong Jun was very suspicious that Yang Guozhong was willing to give up everything he had already obtained? There are only two possibilities, one: he is deceiving them; two: if he can't get back the demon in An Lushan, Yang Guozhong himself won't live long.
Hong Jun wanted to speak again, but Li Jinglong put his hand on his shoulder and pondered for a moment.
"You don't have much time to think about it," Yang Guozhong said.
Li Jinglong said slowly: "I just nodded like this today, I'm afraid that after I die, I won't be able to explain to the mortal souls who died under your hands."
"This is war." Yang Guozhong scrutinized Li Jinglong and said, "It's not Yadan Hou who is murderous and jealous. Humans and demons have been at war for a long time, long before you and I were alive. How many demons have died at the hands of mortals?"
Hong Jun always felt that Yang Guozhong was lying to them, but he couldn't find any flaws. In the end, Li Jinglong finally said softly: "Deal."
"I'll give you twenty days." Yang Guozhong flicked his sleeves immediately, and all the surrounding walls were removed, "During the period, the Exorcist seized you, and your identity is a wanted fugitive." Then, he turned his head again and looked at Li Jinglong: "An Lushan There is a magic weapon that protects the inner demon in my body, as long as I remove that magic weapon, I can successfully recall the third soul, don't act rashly, Li Jinglong, you can't destroy it."
At the same time, Yang Guozhong drew a spell casually, which was exactly the spell that the Exorcist had studied. Suddenly, with a "buzz", Li Jinglong and Hong Jun were teleported away at the same time!
Li Jinglong appeared in the street in the back alley of the Exorcist Division, but Hong Jun's figure disappeared.
"Where's Hong Jun? Hong Jun!" Li Jinglong shouted instantly.
Yang Guozhong's voice sounded in the alley, and he replied: "Don't worry, I won't take him as a hostage, and I will release him in half an hour."
Hong Jun only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and found himself in a luxurious courtyard with cherry blossoms flying in the courtyard, but Li Jinglong was gone. When he stood up and looked around, he saw Yang Guozhong walking towards him slowly, and immediately said angrily: "Li Jinglong Woolen cloth?!"
"Let's talk." Yang Guozhong said calmly, his voice was no longer aggressive, as if he was just an ordinary family friend, "If you are willing to leave, I will send you away now."
Hong Jun took a deep breath, Yang Guozhong came to the garden, sat down, put his hands on his knees, and yelled, a housekeeper came over after a while, and Yang Guozhong ordered someone to serve snacks, which were Hong Jun's favorite cakes on weekdays, and there was even a pot of tea .
"Do you still remember your father?" Yang Guozhong said.
Hong Jun's mood is extremely complicated at the moment. He once reiterated the order given to him, which is to kill Xie Prison, so that the Feng Clan can re-enter Chang'an. But I also gradually realized that in front of Xie Prison, even if Li Jinglong was added, I was no match for him at all.
Regardless of that, after he came to Chang'an, he gradually discovered that many things were not as simple as he once thought. There is no longer the idea that black is black and white is white.
"You're lying to us." Hong Jun said coldly, "All you want all this time is just the demon seeds in my body."
"Nonsense." Yang Guozhong said, "Could it be possible that I still help Li Jinglong punish the evil, promote the good, eliminate demons and defend the morality?"
Hong Jun shook his head slowly: "I won't be fooled by you..."
"When you were young." Yang Guozhong said, "I persuaded your father to hand you over to me. Do you think I was the one who hunted you and your mother everywhere?"
Hongjun: "..."
"You are different from them." Yang Guozhong frowned deeply, looked at Hongjun, and said, "You are the son of Kong Xuan, the adopted son of Chongming and Qingxiong, half of your blood is a demon, Kong Hongjun. Why are you so persistent? Seeing me, don't you have the slightest sense of intimacy? As the king of the world's monster clan, in front of you, I can't compare to old Li Longji?"
Hong Jun was speechless for a moment, Yang Guozhong motioned him to have a snack again, and said: "I want to poison you, I have already done so, how much minzhimin ointment have you taken?"
Hong Jun thought about it, but he still didn't move, and replied: "I don't eat, not because I am afraid that you will poison me, but because I don't eat the enemy's food."
"There are no permanent enemies in the world, only temporary friends." Yang Guozhong looked at Hongjun with interest, and said, "It seems that Phoenix and Golden Winged Roc really never taught you these things, and they protected you very well."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Hong Jun narrowed his eyes, thinking that Yang Guozhong must have a plan for separating himself from Li Jinglong.
"I just want to see you." Yang Guozhong said seriously, "Let's find out what kind of person you have grown up to be. After all, your father promised you to worship me as a teacher..."
Hong Jun couldn't believe it: "What?!"
"Otherwise, why did your parents live in Chang'an before your parents died?" Yang Guozhong said slowly, "It's a pity that ten years ago I missed the plan and didn't guard against the arrangements left by Di Renjie, and even fell short. Now it seems that you have been taught by them to be extremely stubborn , this master-student relationship cannot continue."
Hong Jun almost wavered in front of Yang Guozhong. There were still many doubts about what happened back then, and what Yang Guozhong entered was exactly what he hadn't figured out. But when Yang Guozhong saw him again later, he never mentioned this matter .
Yang Guozhong said again: "Ten years ago, the technique of transforming the three souls into demons was exactly what your father Kong Xuan proposed. Otherwise, why would I bother?"
Hong Jun suddenly opened his eyes wide and said, "That's my father..."
Yang Guozhong nodded slowly, and said: "Heavenly demons recur for thousands of years, and the demon seeds will absorb the hostile energy that has not entered the world and turn them into demons. The nightmare of the three thousand worlds is one of them; the persistence of loneliness, suffering and sorrow is the other. Two, anger and resentment of unjust death is the third. All kinds of hostility come from this.”
Hong Jun instantly remembered the resentment released when he burned the fox, purified the flying mastiff, and when he strangled the snow girl and the god of plague with demonic energy in Dunhuang.
"So on An Lushan..."
"Angry and unwilling to die unjustly." Yang Guozhong said slowly, "You have to know that it is very uncomfortable for an old man who has lived for more than a thousand years to bear so much pain, unlike you who have a heart lamp guarding you. thing."
Hong Jun: "Don't say it's to save my life, I won't believe it, Xie Prison, why do you want to become a demon?"
Yang Guozhong stared at Hongjun quietly, and asked: "Of course not for you, but for myself, Hongjun, have you experienced the pain of being locked up under a tower for nearly a thousand years?"
Hong Jun was silent for a moment.
"There is no future, and there is no passage of time." Yang Guozhong said slowly, "In the endless darkness and void, you can only feel that the seal around you and yourself cannot move. You will have no future, only Keep chewing on my past, that's all the Terrans have done to me..."
Yang Guozhong looked at Hongjun's expression, smiled slowly, and said: "Your companion Qiu Yongsi is still searching for my whereabouts and wants to lock me back."
"Before that, you committed a serious crime!" Hong Jun said.
"I'm just living my own life in the Yangtze River." Yang Guozhong said, "People eat fish and shrimp in the water, but I eat people on the shore. What's the crime?"
Hong Jun was dizzy for a while, feeling that he couldn't argue with Yang Guozhong at all.
"I know you can't accept the truth for a while." Yang Guozhong said, "Let's put the words here first, apprentice."
"I'm not your apprentice!" Hong Jun said angrily.
Yang Guozhong said: "One day you will change your mind and recognize this so-called ugliness in the world. Before that..."
He leaned slightly, faced Hong Jun, and said seriously: "Go back and think about it carefully, and come to me when you figure it out. Hong Jun, Yuan Kun can't save you, only I can."
