Chapter 210 Do you refer to the same species as primates?
As the saying goes, "the devil also has a way", once Chonglou, who is the supreme ruler of the devil world, agrees to this matter, he will not easily go back on his word.
Master Qingwei swayed his whisk lightly, slapped his head towards the Chonglou, and said calmly, "Send the Demon Venerable."
Chonglou's eyes swept over Qingwei, as if looking at an ant.
He agreed to Qingwei only because he wanted to restore Fei Peng's reincarnation to his strength as soon as possible, and it had nothing to do with saving the common people. If the old Taoist didn't know how to advance or retreat, and still looked like he had a chance to win, he would block him with this matter without hesitation. Squeeze each other to death, let the group of monks in the world know
Except for Fei Peng, he would never allow anyone to pretend to be in front of him.
Looking at Daoist Qingwei's lowered body, Chong Lou snorted coldly, his figure dissipated with the demon energy, and the dark clouded sky also became clear again.
The moon is bright and the stars are thin, and the clouds are as thin as fog.
On the other side of Shushan, Zhou Ji, Yuanshen, Jingming and other four elders flew down from the top of the tower, and stood firmly under the tower, guarding against evil spirits from fleeing. Xiang Zhou Ji frowned, looking quite defensive.
"Changqing, what are you doing? This is Brother Zhou Ji, Daoist Zhou, an old friend of the previous head, a distinguished guest of the Shushan School, please don't be rude." Elder Yuanshen's attitude changed a hundred and eighty degrees. He reprimanded Xu Changqing with a face, then laughed heartily, and thanked Zhou Ji, "If brother Zhou Dao hadn't dealt with a large number of monsters in the tower over the years, the top of the monster-locking tower was broken this time, just the escaped monster would be a big deal." Trouble."
After finishing speaking, the elder Yuanshen gave a long salute, and several elders beside him, as well as Xu Changqing who didn't know where he was, and the disciples of Shushan around quickly followed suit.
Seeing the situation, Zhou Ji hurriedly helped Elder Yuanshen and several other elders up. He already had a guess in his heart as to why this reckless and irritable sword-wielding elder became so enthusiastic.
Thinking back to when he first went up the mountain more than ten years ago, the elder Yuanshen and others only noticed the evil spirit emanating from him, and never fought against him. The orthodox Taoist method of cultivation.
He has strong mana, immortality, and grand righteousness. Naturally, he changed the prejudice of the elders of Yuanshen against him, and won the approval of these old stubborn and old antiques.
During the conversation, Elder Yuanshen introduced Xu Changqing to Zhou Ji. Xu Changqing slapped his head and said he was a senior. Zhou Ji also recalled the little Taoist boy he had seen back then, and then nodded and saluted him. Light and shadow flew from the clouds and fell in front of everyone.
"It's been seventeen years since Daoist Zhou's demeanor is still the same. It's really gratifying to be out of the cage now." Daoist Qingwei saw Zhou Ji in the crowd before he landed, glanced at the magic sword behind him, and said with a smile, " Presumably, this is the person that Brother Dao would rather go into the tower to look for at the risk of being unable to leave."
Not mentioning the seventeen years, Zhou Ji might not be so angry. Hearing Taoist Qingwei mention this matter, Zhou Ji felt quite dissatisfied.
The Demon Locking Tower is dark and closed, like a claustrophobic little black room. In such an environment, he has retreated in it for seventeen years. Even with nightshade beside him, he still feels quite depressed, let alone staying in the tower alone for six hundred years. nightshade?
Although he was dissatisfied emotionally, his rationality kept reminding him that if the people in Shushan hadn’t brought the magic sword into the demon lock tower, once nightshade fell into the hands of the demon king, the consequences would be more terrible than six hundred years of confinement.
Noticing Zhou Ji's uncertain face, the disciple Chang Yin next to him sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and quickly changed the subject, "The Demon Zunlou has always disdained to fight with the world, why did it suddenly break into the Demon Locking Tower, seize the Demon Suppressing Sword, and mess with me?" Shushan?"
"Alas~ the Demon Lord is coming, and no one can stop them." Daoist Qingwei sighed, "Over the years, Shushan has tried its best to maintain the peace between Shushan and the world, but unexpectedly, the Demon Lord's arrival will break everything in an instant. up.
Maybe this is destiny? "
Master Qingwei turned to look at Chang Yin and Xu Changqing, and said in a deep voice, "There is one more important matter for you to handle right now."
Chang Yin and Xu Changqing looked at each other, lowered their eyebrows and obeyed.
"Chang Yin, as the most outstanding intelligence officer among the second-generation disciples, you stay on the mountain to monitor the Demon Locking Tower, and contact the elders immediately if there is any change."
Chang Yin cupped his fists and saluted, "Disciple obeys orders."
Daoist Qingwei looked at Xu Changqing, "Changqing, you go down the mountain to find a man, his name is Jingtian."
"Sedum from Yuzhou City? That ignorant little bastard?" Chang Yin said in a voiceless voice. Seeing several elders looking at him, he quickly explained, "I checked the records of the human world. I haven't made any contributions, but I have made many mistakes, big and small, and in terms of primates in the human world, they only belong to the middle and lower class."
"Primates?" Zhou Ji frowned slightly when he heard this, and glanced at Chang Yin with a bit of coldness in his eyes. "Is that the word used by Shushan disciples to refer to the same clan?"
Shu Mountain.
Shu Mountain.
This is true whether it is Xianyi or Xiansan.
Maybe it’s because so many people call him ‘immortal’ and ‘immortal’ that he really regards himself as a transcendent existence.
Low above, overlooking all living beings.
When Chang Yin came here, he even made a division with the human race, calling the same race "primates".
Chang Yin's scalp was numb from Zhou Ji's look, and his back felt cold, a little puzzled and aggrieved.
He didn't feel that what he said was wrong. Since he stepped into the door of practice, he has never regarded Sedum or ordinary mortals like Sedum as his own family. This is the common thought of some monks, but he has no intention Just say it.
"Eight hundred years ago, Nine Heavens Xuannv personally said in Kunlun Tianguang, 'If you want to cultivate the way of immortality, you must first cultivate the way of humanity. It is called 'primate' because of your sense of superiority as a monk, or because you yourself think so, but no matter what the reason is, I don't like your arrogance."
"If you want to cultivate the way of immortality, you must first cultivate the way of humanity. If you can't achieve the way of humanity, how can you become a fairy?"
Everyone at the scene was shocked when they heard this sentence. Xu Changqing seemed to have a feeling in his heart, but he couldn't figure it out. Chang Yin, who was reprimanded by Zhou Ji, also broke out in cold sweat, like a basin of cold water poured on the top of his head, and instantly sobered up come over.
"Senior taught me that Chang Yin knew he was wrong." Chang Yin gave a salute and said solemnly.
"What's the use of just knowing what's wrong? There's no empathy in the world, only by experiencing it yourself." Zhou Ji turned to look at Qingwei, who hesitated for a moment, then changed the subject: "After three hundred days, it will be There is a catastrophe in the world, since Brother Dao is the man of destiny, can you cooperate with Shushan to help the world overcome this catastrophe?"
During the magic sword, Solanum nigrum lay on Zhou Ji's back and eavesdropped on everyone's conversation. She couldn't help but wondered, "Has the Empress Jiutianxuan said this? I was there at the time, why don't I remember it at all?"
Zhou Ji glanced at the Demon Locking Tower behind him with a complex expression, and then at the Shushan people present. He didn't want to act emotionally, nor did he want to be a rational monster. For Shushan and the magic sword, the matter between him and Solanum nigrum seemed to be the same. It's a mess, since you can't sort it out, don't think about it anymore.
At present, although the Demon Locking Tower has been broken by a heavy building, but because he has wiped out most of the monsters in the seventeen years in the Demon Locking Tower, so that almost no monsters have escaped from it, and it is unnecessary to stay in Shushan now.
Coupled with Chang Yin's attitude towards the human race just now, Zhou Ji was even more dissatisfied.
This phrase "primate" used to be quite funny when I watched the drama, but now it is so harsh to hear it with my own ears.
He didn't want to listen to Qingwei's orders, and he didn't want to be kidnapped morally in the name of common people, so he bowed to Qingwei and the others, and directly rejected them.
Master Qingwei originally wanted to speak out to persuade him to stay, but after a moment of hesitation, he dismissed the idea.
On the way down the mountain, a long red dress floated out from the magic sword, and the toes lightly tapped on Zhou Ji's shoulders, circling around him like a frightened bird, sitting on a branch not far away, with his calves swinging lightly, Looking down at Zhou Ji, "Hey, what happened to you just now? I haven't seen you lose your temper like this before?"
Zhou Ji looked up subconsciously, then quickly turned to look elsewhere, "I'm restrained enough, if you know who the 'low-middle primate' he is talking about, you will definitely be even more angry."
"What do you mean?" Hongkui didn't notice Zhou Ji's dodging gaze, followed his gaze, and saw the Shu Mountain in the distance looming in the clouds and mist, and said impatiently, "Speak clearly, don't play tricks."
"Sedum is the elder brother you have been looking for for more than a thousand years." Zhou Ji said quietly.
As soon as the voice fell, the jade feet that were drooping and swinging under the branches suddenly stopped, and a flaming red light suddenly rose, bright red like fire, instantly illuminating the entire forest.
Hong Kui got up, and the howling wind whizzed past Zhou Ji, puffing up his sleeves and ruffling his hair.
Red light flashed in the strong wind, Zhou Ji took a step forward, grabbed the tail of the red light on the edge of the cliff, and pulled back the red sunflower that flew halfway.
Feeling the familiar heat coming from the toes, Hongkui was flustered, kicked her legs wildly, and hurried back to the tree, she said with embarrassment: "Hey! What are you doing!"
"What are you doing?" When Hongkui kicked, Zhou Ji let go of his palm, took a step back, and looked at Hongkui helplessly.
"You wait for me!" Hongkui's face was full of shame and anger, a touch of blue rose from the corner of her skirt and quickly spread all over her body, Hongkui's original shame and anger turned into confusion.
"Brother Zhou Ji? Is the red sunflower coming out again?" Solanum nigrum fell from the branch, looked around suspiciously, and said embarrassedly, "Did she cause you trouble? If something makes you angry, I will wait for you." She apologizes to you."
"No, I made her angry." Zhou Ji shook his head with a wry smile, and told Solanum nigrum what happened just now.
Solanum nigrum didn't know the existence of red sunflower at first, but during the seventeen years in Suoyao Tower, after several exchanges between Zhou Ji, Hongkui and Solanum nigrum, they finally introduced the two to each other.
And Solanum nigrum finally knew that there was always another person by her side silently protecting and accompanying her. Even though they couldn't see each other or communicate, they could still maintain their relationship through Zhou Ji as a transfer and the exchange of letters. Certainly connected.
Different from Hong Kui's focus, when Lan Kui heard that Sedum was the brother she had been looking for for so many years, she was full of joy, excitedly floated around Zhou Ji, pulled his cuff and said, "Then brother Where is it now? Let's go find him quickly, shall we?"
Zhou Ji pressed her shoulders helplessly, pressed her to the ground, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, he should be in Yuzhou City right now, and we'll go find him when the sky is bright."
Lan Kui nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice, the corner of her mouth could not restrain a smile, her eyes were full of anticipation and joy.
The bright moon hangs high, and the night is like water.
"It's almost dawn, and I'm going to see my brother soon."
Solanum nigrum squatted by the bonfire, looking at the slowly sinking moon, thinking about the reunion of brothers and sisters after a thousand years of waiting, this last night seemed extraordinarily long.
As the moon sets, the sun has not yet risen, and the sky and earth return to darkness.
Even after staying in the Demon Locking Tower for so long, she still hasn't gotten used to the gloom and darkness.
Solanum nigrum subconsciously glanced at Zhou Ji, and didn't calm down until he saw the cross-legged figure adjusting his breath behind the firelight, waiting for the arrival of dawn.
However, when her originally happy and excited mood calmed down, a question that she had never thought of before suddenly flashed deep in her heart.
After she finds her brother, will brother Zhou Ji leave?
The flame flickered, Solanum nigrum opened its mouth, wanting to ask Zhou Ji, just as she opened her mouth, a fish-belly white appeared from the sky, the sun rose, and a cluster of light illuminating the darkness shone on Zhou Ji's face, I saw him slowly Opening his eyes, he looked at Solanum nigrum suspiciously, as if asking why she was staring at him.
The four eyes met, and at the moment when their eyes met, for some reason, Solanum nigrum suddenly panicked, and subconsciously wanted to escape, the corners of the skirt also glowed red, and the panic-stricken gaze turned into full of astonishment and amazed.
"Hmm." Hong Kui hesitated a few times, spat on Lan Kui inwardly, raised her chin pretending to be stubborn, and quietly looked away from Zhou Ji, "Hey! Didn't you say that it was dawn?" Do you want to take her to see your brother? Why are you still sitting still? "
Zhou Ji shook his head and smiled lightly, got up and brushed off his sleeves, put the magic sword behind him, stretched out his hand to Hongkui who was squatting on the ground, "Then let's go?"
Subconsciously, Hongkui wanted to touch Zhou Ji's palm, but she didn't realize it until she stretched it halfway. She couldn't help turning her head and snorting coldly. Her figure turned into a streamer and escaped into the magic sword, and a slightly flustered voice came, "I'm tired from walking, I'm going to rest in the magic sword for a while."
"We haven't left yet!"
Zhou Ji poked the blade of the sword, and the surface of the magic sword glowed with sky blue fluorescence.
"Brother Zhou Ji~ Are we going to find brother?"
