It’s too dangerous to seize the direct descendant, so I choose to be the leader of the Demon Cult

Chapter 125: Do some people really think that there is only one divine chrysalis?

The magic altar.

The quiet underground palace returned to its usual tranquility.

Since the disappearance of the Demon King, this place has been relatively lonely most of the time. Only the few times when the god's chrysalis moved, the place became a little livelier.

But now, the fragments of the God's Chrysalis have become so dim that the light is almost invisible.

There are only a few mysterious lines left, flickering and extinguishing slowly, sealing the contents inside.

"Ink girl!"

Huangfu Song stared at the dim fragments of the divine chrysalis, with a slightly anxious look on his face: "Can the divine chrysalis like this still respond to the Holy Lord?"

Shui Mo shook his head and said: "No! Lord Shengjun didn't want us to look for him. He just wanted to prevent the seal from being destroyed. He poured more power of the soul into it, so he could sense it a little. Now that the power of the soul has been exhausted, even if The reincarnation of the Holy Lord is standing in front of us, so we may not be able to react to it, right?"

Huangfu Song frowned: "Then how can we determine whether that person is the Holy King?"

Shui Mo pointed at the fragments of the divine chrysalis and said: "The solution to the magic circle above is in the soul of the Holy Lord. When the time is right, it will be revived in his memory."

"But I remember that the Holy Lord is not good at formations."

"Who said that if you want to break the formation, you have to be proficient in the formation?"

"So, only the Holy Lord can solve this formation?"

"This……"

Shui Mo was a little hesitant because she wasn't sure of the answer, but she wasn't worried: "The Holy Lord certainly has his reasons for doing this. What's more, I still have it here..."

talking.

She activated the magic power in her body.

From the palms of the two palms, black and white mist spewed out.

The two mist blended together like ink. When they were completely blended together, the mist-like mana actually became transparent.

After the air mass becomes transparent, it can no longer block the view.

There was only an undetectable thread floating in the huge air ball.

Huangfusong's eyes lit up: "This is..."

"God's cocoon silk!"

Shui Mo glanced at the pupa fragments: "The god pupa is not an entity, but a bondage from the depths of the spirit. Before the fifth molt, it may be difficult for even the owner of the god pupa to detect its existence.

However, in the last battle between Shengjun and Xiang Tiange, both his physical body and soul suffered heavy losses.

Because Xiang Tiange's words attacked his heart, the god's chrysalis tore a hole from the outside to the inside.

After that, I helped the Holy Lord heal his wounds, and I was also repairing this hole.

At that time, I already knew that the Holy Lord had the power of reincarnation, so I took the opportunity to extract a piece of it and sealed it with my magic power so that it would not lose its divinity like this fragment.

As long as it is released, it will be slowly drawn into the divine chrysalis because of this trace of divinity.

In other words.

As long as you can narrow down the number of candidates to less than two people, you can stick this divine cocoon silk to the forehead of one of them to determine who is the real holy king. "

Huangfu Song was immediately delighted: "Wonderful!"

He finally let go of his heart.

On the one hand, there is this cocoon thread used for identification, which gives me confidence.

Unless besides the Holy Lord, there is another person who has awakened the talent of the God Chrysalis, and happens to be among the objects of suspicion.

otherwise.

This method is sure to find the true sage.

However, the talent of God Chrysalis is the top talent for cultivating demons.

Do some people really think there is a second divine chrysalis in this world?

This method is very stable!

On the other hand, Shui Mo is willing to tell himself this because he has enough trust.

Although ink painting also cares about chaos, he had no choice but to choose to cooperate with himself.

But that's enough.

He has already taken the lead, so why should the other guardians compete with him?
Shui Mo withdrew the black and white mana and asked in a deep voice: "How is the situation now?"

"Hold on!"

Huangfu Song half-closed his eyes, and his soul began to vibrate, resonating with the soul mist that was unknown how far away it was.

Then, his face became extremely ugly: "The opening date of the God of War Tower has been advanced by half a year!"

"what!?"

Shui Mo also widened his eyes and looked increasingly anxious.

Huangfu Song said in a deep voice: "How about... use the Bliss Gu in advance? The Bliss Dream comes from the depths of the soul, and we can reduce the scope as quickly as possible!"

"inappropriate!"

Shui Mo's face looked a little ugly: "The Dream of Paradise is so terrifying! Even if you got the Paradise Gu, you chose to seal it away and didn't dare to use it easily. If you use it on the Holy Lord, if you use it on his soul..."

Blissful dream.

Able to respond to people's deepest desires.

In dreams, you can easily get what you want most.

That feeling is the bliss of the world.

And this kind of bliss can be obtained without having to pay anything.

The Holy Lord once said.

All living beings are humble, and their life is a process of seeking pleasure. This kind of pleasure can be the lowest level of physical pleasure, or it can be the eternal hegemony of princes and generals.

Everything they do is to get these pleasures.

When bliss can be obtained without any cost or effort.

Then this person's will will be worn away at an extremely fast speed.

The first record about the Paradise Gu was before Dayu, when the owner of the Paradise Gu easily captured the enterprising leader of a wealthy clan by relying on the Paradise Dream, turning the entire clan into a puppet of the Paradise Gu.

of course……

The master of Bliss Gu is also the puppet of Bliss Gu.

One person and one Gu, each other is father and son.

I don’t know if Gu can leave people.

Anyway, people can't leave Gu.

Huangfu Song was a little impatient: "The consequences of using the Bliss Dream only once are far from serious. Besides, the Holy Lord is a born strong man. How could it be possible just because of a Bliss Dream..."

"you need to know!"

Shui Mo interrupted coldly: "Lord Shengjun is different from the past. He has stripped away almost all his memories. No matter how determined he is, he is still just an ordinary person!"

Huangfusong heard her cold tone and knew that she was really angry. Although he still didn't agree with her idea, all the initiative was now in her hands, so he couldn't refute it.

Shui Mo looked worried, and walked around the altar enshrining the fragments of the god's pupa for a few weeks before whispering: "But the situation is indeed urgent now, and it is not easy to use the Bliss Gu quietly.

Otherwise, three months!

If we still can't make up our minds within three months, then we'll use the Bliss Gu! "

Huangfusong finally showed a smile: "Okay!"

Shui Mo sighed softly and turned to look at the fragments of the pupa, with a trace of warmth in his eyes: "How is the situation now?"

Although the identity of the Holy Lord is still far from certain.

But she still wanted to know what that man was doing now.

Huangfusong took a deep breath and said: "More than 100 people who passed the government examination but did not join the government chose to stay in Linge as minor officials. There should be many people who will stay in office for three years, waiting for each government to recruit after the reduction of personnel.

Several of the civilian government officials who have entered the government are also on the list and are under close surveillance by our people.

After a few months, some people should be eliminated.

The Tenth Prince's Mansion has taken on a mission on the Hanling Waterway, which requires searching and rescuing civilians to hunt down water monsters. The difficulty should be quite high.

Do you need me to take action? "

Shui Mo shook his head: "Just let nature take its course. The power within the sect cannot be used to avoid being noticed by the court. As for Zhang Dayong's identity, you can use it as you wish."

"it is good!"

Huangfu Song nodded, sat cross-legged on the futon, and meditated quietly in front of the fragments of the divine chrysalis.

Ever since Zhang Dayong was taken away, his body has been at the main altar.

Let Shui Mo see that he can treat Shengjun with the attitude of serving his own father.

Whether it's getting first-hand information.

Or let the Holy Lord be more trustworthy after he returns to his throne.

are very important things.

……

Outside Linge City.

Five horses headed west.

Hanling Waterway is the destination for the five people from the Ten Princes' Palace.

This task is a C-level task. After completion, there will be a reward of fifteen merit points.

The rewards are generous and the difficulty is also high.

Zhao Ci made the decision based on everyone's strengths, and everyone had no objections.

It is said that a few days ago, a boatload of children from a mountain town in Hanling County were sent to the county town to take the college examination. They disappeared on the Hanling waterway. It was suspected that they were related to the water monster.The task requires cooperating with the local government to capture the water demon and recover [-]% of these children or corpses. Completing the former can earn ten points of merit, while the latter can earn five points.

It may not seem difficult just to read the text, but in fact it is not simple at all.

Although Hanling County is less than a hundred miles west of Linge, the terrain is completely different. The entire county is on the mountain, and transportation is very inconvenient. You can only climb the mountain on foot. Fortunately, there is a large river running through the mountain, so it is much more convenient to travel by water. .

However, because in the mountains, the Hanling waterway is winding and the rivers are of different widths. The water flow will be more rapid in the narrow places. In addition, there are rumors of water monsters causing trouble, so accidents are easy to happen.

but.

The local government has found the wreckage of the ship, but no bodies have been found downstream. It is speculated that some of these people should have escaped by taking the mountain road again. However, this section is a veritable wild mountain with complex terrain and poisonous insects and miasma, making it difficult to search and rescue.

Now, the whole town is looking forward to their return.

It's a good opportunity to brush up on comprehension points.

"When the time comes, we will act as planned immediately."

"Yaozi, your teacher is a sentinel. You are the best at detecting and tracing people here. I leave the task of finding people to you."

"Old Mo, you are good at detoxifying. Follow me to find someone. Be careful not to get separated."

"Dayong, there are many wild beasts in the forest, please protect them both."

The three of them responded "yes" in unison.

This missing person team is set up very reasonably.

Xiao Shenke was very agile, and in one-on-one combat, he ranked fourth among the ten people in the Ten Prince's Palaces. However, when he encountered a fierce beast, it was difficult to protect him.

Bringing Yang Mo to fight against the miasma of poisonous insects, Zhang Dayong, a gunman, is also a good hand in dealing with wild beasts in the forest.

Zhao Ci glanced at Zhang Dayong and was not very afraid of him.

This man was captured by Huangfu Song and was indeed a dangerous person.

But now is far from the time for him to take action.

Before that, he could only work hard and keep a healthy distance from himself.

That being the case.

No need to be white.

Ask him to work hard.

The three people have complementary attributes, so it is quite promising to bring those children or corpses out.

As for himself and Feng Kucha, they can just assist the local government in capturing the water demon.

I have a lot of talisman papers that I can use.

And... there is Feng Kucha.

Zhao Ci glanced at Feng Kucha and saw that he was holding a petite girl in his arms and riding his horse with a look on his face.

This girl looks pretty good.

It's just that the forearms are covered with thick scales.

There are also a few green cuticles on the forehead.

Several joints were locked, and connected to small chains, they gathered into one, and the other end was held in Feng Kucha's hand.

Crocodile girl!
It was rented by Feng Kucha from the Demon Slayer Division.

Originally I just practiced for happiness.

But he never thought that he would just be chosen for this task, and the crocodile girl was a water demon who was eager to make meritorious deeds to help herself escape the crime.exactly.

Feng Kucha has the supreme level demon control token in the Demon Slaying Division.

This thing is not easy to criticize. Except for the top demon hunters from the Demon Slaying Department and the Punishment Department, there are only a few people in Linge who can own it.

However, Brother Kucha was the unlucky guy who came to Beijing to act as a hostage on his behalf. Feng Ji, the head of the family, at least in terms of his behavior, very much wanted to compensate this illegitimate son.

As soon as he saw Brother Kucha's eccentric behavior, he immediately used his connections to get him a token.

I originally thought it could only meet his needs.

He didn't expect it to be able to meet his needs.

But Zhao Ci felt a little unsure and grinned: "Old Feng! Can you do this?"

Feng Kucha laughed loudly: "Don't worry! Our Green Calyx is not only very easy to use, but also very easy to use. Anyway, don't worry, we, Old Feng, are definitely not the ones holding us back in the Tenth Prince's Palace, right? Little Green Calyx." ?”

As he said that, he squeezed the crocodile girl's waist.

It was this slender waist that made him roll over on the water bed that night and he was in a state of ecstasy.

Zhao Ci: "..."

Zhang Dayong: "Do it!"

Xiao Shenke: "Fuck!"

Yang Mo glanced at Feng Kucha faintly, his eyes a little dark.

Although he knew that the "one who doesn't hold back" Feng Kucha said was not aimed at anyone.

But this sentence was very harsh in his ears.

Shake his head.

Get rid of distracting thoughts.

Continue riding the horse westward.

……

One hundred miles doesn't mean it's close.

It's not that far.

Around dusk and sunset, everyone had arrived at their destination.

This place is in a small town in the upper reaches of the county.

Because the transportation area where the crime occurred is inconvenient, it is difficult to drive there on horseback. It is best to go directly upstream and go directly down the river from the Hanling Waterway to the crime scene.

The officials from Hanling County who came to contact him were also on standby here early.

Seeing Zhao Ci and others showing their tokens, their attitude suddenly became extremely enthusiastic.

"I've met His Highness the Tenth Prince! I've met all the government officials! I've finally welcomed you. It's getting late today. I've prepared good guest rooms in the town. The conditions in Hanling County are a bit shabby. Please..."

"No need to stay, let's go directly!"

Zhao Ci waved his hand to interrupt.

The clerk was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

Zhao Ci shook his head: "Now the life and death of those children are uncertain. One more day of losing contact means one more day of danger. We should take action as soon as possible. How can there be any reason to rest in the town for a night?"

The clerk quickly said: "Your Highness! It has been raining upstream recently, and the river water is faster than usual. It may be unsafe to sail at night."

As soon as this word comes out.

Everyone has different expressions on their faces.

But neither of them spoke, just waiting for Zhao Ci to make a decision.

Zhao Ci thought for a moment and pointed to the boat in the river: "Aren't they also boating?"

"Can……"

The clerk was a little hesitant, with real worry on his face.

[Chen Hui’s current wish]: His Highness is a good person and I hope they can be safe.Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +10, Peace Talisman X1.

The behavior at first was a little flattering.

But it is also a last resort.

This small official from Hanling County still has some sincerity.

Zhao Ci patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry! I will be responsible for anything that happens. We are not bad at water. Even if we fall into the water, we can float to a safe place."

He wasn't particularly worried.

If the danger really reaches a certain level, it will be impossible for anyone to sail on the ship. Moreover, the tool kits he prepared for everyone contain many self-rescue items, and he also has safety charms in stock. The risk will definitely still exist, but try to get some The search and rescue time is totally worth it.

This petty official named Chen Hui must be just afraid that he will not be able to shoulder his responsibilities.

"it is good!"

The clerk gritted his teeth and said: "I will invite the best boatman in the town to ensure the safety of His Highness. Please wait a moment, I will be back soon."

After speaking, he left quickly.

Yang Mo looked at Zhao Ci with complicated eyes, feeling a little surprised that he could make such a decision.

From the moment he left home, the words Yang Fang said have been echoing in his mind.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that the significance of the existence of waste is indeed not that great.

But seeing how Zhao Ci was fighting for time, it felt like that might not be the case.

In the mission, it was only said that [-]% of the missing children would be found.

Both living people and corpses count.

In other words.

Those children who are alive and dead will not affect the achievements of the Ten Princes' Palace. To a certain extent, the dead are even easier to find.

But Zhao Ci still chose this way.

"What dad said is not right!"

Yang Mo gritted his teeth and abandoned the views Yang Fang had instilled in him.

Zhang Dayong stayed there quietly, not saying anything, just thinking in his heart.

Such a thankless act of putting oneself in danger to rescue the weak.

How could Lord Shengjun do this?

Although Shui Mo said that the current Shengjun was a brand new person, Huangfu Song didn't think so at all.

He is a demon cultivator and has mastered many soul-related spells. He knows that the soul is hard to change. Even if the Holy Lord has no memory, he cannot become a completely opposite person, right?

The former holy king looked down on him from all directions.

Not to mention the lives of these ants, even the masters in the Holy Cult may not be able to take a fancy to them.

Ants.

To die is to die.

Because even if you are alive, it cannot be useful!
This tenth prince, thanks to the fact that he lives in the royal family and is full of benevolence towards women, does he deserve the surname Zhao?
The probability that this kid is a Saint King is very small.

On the contrary, Yang Mo has more value in continuing to observe.

However, he is not in a hurry to make a judgment. Now he only needs to record the signs, and it will not be too late to make a judgment when the records are sufficient.

About a quarter of an hour passed.

Chen Hui came over with a boatman with strong arms, took everyone directly onto a boat that could accommodate 20 people, and took advantage of the night to drift downstream.

The river flow is indeed not slow, but it is not particularly fast either.The boatman looked at ease, singing folk songs while steering the boat.

Along the way, Zhao Ci listened to Chen Hui talk a lot about the Hanling Waterway.

Linge is adjacent to water on both sides. One side is the Grand Canal, which has been in operation for many years, and the other is the Hanling Waterway.

The former is well repaired and is operated by the government, so it is relatively safe. Although the shipping tax is quite high, some large businesses will choose the Grand Canal to transport goods.

However, some people can't afford the shipping tax, so they will take the risk and take the Hanling Waterway. Although the Cao Gang will collect protection fees in various names, it is still much less than the shipping tax.

There are many accidents on Hanling Waterway, but not many merchant ships that pay protection fees to Caobang have accidents.

Most of the people who got into trouble were private sailing crews. They didn't have much money in their pockets and often had conflicts with the Cao Gang.

From time to time, boat capsizing accidents occur.

People will die, but not too many.

The matter has been handled privately for many years. The government suspected that the water monster was causing trouble and wanted to hire the Cao Gang, who were good at water skills, to go into the water to capture the monster. However, the cooperation between the two parties was poor every time.

So it ended later.

But this time, what was missing was a boatload of children who were going to take the college examination. Even if they had not yet achieved the title of scholar, they were still considered to be the disciples of the future emperor.

The Hanling County government cannot bear this responsibility, and it has nothing to do with the Cao Gang's hob meat, so it can only submit this task to the clan government. Even if these children of the rich clan are not high in cultivation, their methods are not comparable to those of ordinary people. of.

"Whoa!"

Chen Hui sighed: "I heard that, except for the government-run canals, the waterways in other places are pretty much the same. There are too many nonsense things."

Hear this.

Feng Kucha turned his head away and continued to play with the crocodile girl's waist, pretending not to hear what Chen Hui said.

Zhao Ci: "..."

The water flow is quite fast.

After about an hour, Chen Hui reminded everyone that it was almost here.

The stars and moon are very bright in the mountains, and the view is surprisingly good.

From a distance, Zhao Ci saw the wreckage of many ships lying on the slope of the mountain wall in front of him.

The waterway winds in the mountains, and the river in front suddenly shrinks twice because of the terrain.

He smacked his lips and said, "The water flow here is accelerating, and there are turns. No wonder accidents are prone to happen."

"But those boatmen are also good people."

Chen Hui wanted to speak downwards, but he opened his mouth and swallowed the words.

Due to the current and turns, the boatman's expression became a little more solemn. He did not dare to anchor at the narrowest point, so he moved towards the shore in advance, and almost safely anchored the boat on a thick and diagonal protrusion from the mountain wall. On the tree trunk.

He said apologetically: "Your Highness! There is no way to dock at that place. If you want to go, you can only rely on these hooks."

"Ok!"

Zhao Ci did not embarrass him. After all, the terrain was really painful. It might not be difficult to sail the ship over. Parking at the Ship Graveyard was basically a dream.

It is also not easy to use a hook to get over, because the only places where you can borrow strength are the trees on the mountain wall. If you want to get over, your feet must be hanging in the air the whole way, which requires a lot of arm strength. As for rescuing people, it is even more idiotic.

Chen Hui looked a little solemn: "Your Highness! I will take you there."

"it is good!"

The group used hooks and ropes, like gibbons, to swing toward the scene of the incident.

The process is quite difficult, after all, the hook rope is not that easy to use.

But Haolai landed smoothly.

Feng Kucha, on the other hand, rode the crocodile girl and swam over leisurely.

Although he was almost wet, he looked quite comfortable and even a little interesting.

After arriving, Zhao Ci felt how painful it was here.

It looks like an open space, but it's actually quite cramped, with more than 20 people able to squeeze into it.

If you can stand here, you can wait for rescue.

But here, most people fall into the water. The temperature in the mountain stream is very low. In addition, the mountain wind makes it easy to lose temperature. It is also difficult to leave dry food. In addition, because of the trees, the viewing angle is blocked and it is inconvenient to call for help. Waiting for rescue is almost like waiting to die. .

The only way to survive is to rely on a crack in the mountain. Climb up three or two feet to the mountain, and seek food and a chance of survival from the mountain road.

It's just that this place is a barren mountain, with a lot of poisonous insects and miasma. In addition, the terrain is complicated. Even the petty officials and mountain people dare not wander around, and there are very few people who can get out.

Chen Hui saw that everyone had completed their inspection and said, "Your Highness, shall we go back to the ship? We will discuss countermeasures when the people from the government and the Cao Gang arrive tomorrow."

"No need!"

This time it was Yang Mo who spoke first: "We came here just to search for people in the mountains. There is no point in waiting for people to come here. If we find them a few hours earlier, they will have a little more hope. Be cautious and brave, let's set off!"

Zhang Dayong: "..."

He was puzzled.

Zhao Ci is a holy mother.

Yang Mo is also a holy mother.

Find the Holy King among the two Holy Mothers.

Isn't this making things difficult for someone like me?

wrong!

This is making things difficult for someone like me, Huangfu!
