Jiang Yao wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he felt a warm and soft air flow slowly spread along his chest towards the inside of his body, and after a while, it dissipated again.

"Three ribs, seven wounds, huh...... The price of this 'trial' is relatively small, it seems that they are still polite to you, and the treatment is very timely. Nine Teeth smiled and withdrew his hand. "However, the physical scars can still be healed, but the mental damage will not heal so quickly, and I am afraid they did not expect that your power would get out of control and almost cause irreparable consequences. ”

Get out of hand......

Jiang Yao remembered his previous appearance of not being a human or a ghost, and he still had palpitations in his heart.

What's wrong with me? What's wrong with that inexplicable voice? And what's called "trial...... Could it be ......?!

"You'd better explain this to me. Now, Jiang Yao has guessed seven or eight points in his heart, and his eyes looking at Jiuya are also more dissatisfied.

"Hehe, don't worry, you'll know all the answers soon. Facing the thorns in Jiang Yao's words, Jiuya didn't seem to mind.

"Come with me. ”

-------------------------------

"Bang...... Snap ......"

The footsteps of the three reverberated through the large, classical hall. Jiang Yao looked at Jiuya who was walking in front of him, and then glanced at Yunlan behind him, this feeling of being watched back and forth made him very uncomfortable.

"Where are you taking me?"

"Go meet the leader here. ”

"Isn't there going to be another 'trial' this time?"

"Don't worry, it won't. Jiuya turned around and said with a smile on his face. "When you get there, the guy will explain everything to you. ”

"......" Jiang Yao looked at Jiuya's seemingly harmless beautiful face, and lost his temper for a while, so he could only continue to move forward while observing the surroundings.

This seems to be a conference hall, the decoration of the hall is simple and exquisite, although the overall structure has the charm of Shanghai, but some details are everywhere reflecting the characteristics of Chinese civilization, two completely different styles can be combined so appropriately, but also reflect the extraordinary skills of the designer.

Jiang Yao turned to the sides again, and found that there were still many murals painted around the hall, Jiang Yao stopped and looked twice, and found that those murals were actually flowing like a movie, and the main content of them seemed to be recording a war.

"It was the War of the Ancients. As if seeing Jiang Yao's doubts, Jiuya explained. "I should have told you about the war? These murals are a posterity record of this event. ”

"Is there a war between humans and demons...... Eh, it seems that there are some non-human guys in the human camp?" Jiang Yao stared at the image on the mural, and keenly noticed that among the people who were fighting against the demon beasts, there were still many spirits floating in the battle to assist people in battle, which was especially conspicuous on the portrait.

"The ones you see are Shikigami who have made a contract with humans. Nine Teeth said. "In fact, during the ancient wars, not all demons supported Chiyou to start a war, and some demons and even immortals were on the side of humans and lent their power to humans. In battle, people can use the virtual image of the summoning god, or even directly borrow the demon power of the demon god to arm themselves in battle, and these people who have formed a contract to fight with the demon gods are the predecessors of today's "Spirit Divine Messenger". ”

"'Spirit Divine Envoy'? then she ...... too"

Jiang Yao couldn't help but move his gaze to Yunlan on the side, and the latter obviously understood what Jiang Yao was thinking, and replied directly:

"Naturally, I also have a contract [Shikigami], which is a necessary ability for every 'Spirit Divine Envoy'. ”

Yunlan said.

"To borrow the power of the demon god, you must have a certain physique, ordinary people can't do it, and according to the five elements of the human being, you can only borrow the power of the demon god with the same or symbiotic attributes, and at the same time, there will be a limit to the number of gods, but you can also develop your own attributes through cultivation and increase the number of gods. As for arming oneself directly with demonic power through the method of [Soul Infusion], then you need to cultivate to a higher level, otherwise the human body will collapse because it can't withstand that powerful power. ”

"For now, manipulating the [Shikigami] virtual image to fight is a common combat method used by the Spirit Divine Envoys, and the blue-haired girl you met earlier in the 'Trial' is named Qing Yu, who is also a Spirit Imperial Divine Envoy, and it is the Shikigami Avatar she summoned that attacks you. Nine Teeth added.

"Although I don't know what the meaning of this 'trial' you are doing, I was almost killed, okay?" As soon as he mentioned this incident, Jiang Yao began to be angry again.

"You can rest assured of this, they are reluctant to kill you, after all, there are not many people in modern society who have the ability to borrow the power of demon gods, not to mention that you are still 'special'. Jiuya looked at Jiang Yao and said meaningfully.

"Over the years, Lingyutai has been looking for talents who are suitable to become the 'Lingyu Divine Envoy', and has worked hard to recruit people to work for Lingyutai. The "Spirit Divine Envoy" is divided into five classes according to strength, with the highest five stars being the senior Divine Envoy at the leader level, and the lowest one star being the junior newcomer. Of course, Lingyutai will also be reviewed every year, and the star rating will be adjusted according to the actual strength. ”

Jiang Yao subconsciously glanced at Yunlan again, only to find that there seemed to be three five-pointed stars engraved in the chic diamond-shaped crystal on her neckline, and the other Spirit Divine Envoys I had seen before also had similar crystals on their chests, which seemed to be a sign to distinguish the level of the 'Spirit Divine Envoy'.

"Of course, there is still a certain amount of 'trial' to become a 'Spirit Divine Envoy', but the content of the 'trial' varies from person to person and is designated by the leader himself. Nine Teeth said.

"Wait...... Hearing you say this, it seems that I am the kind of person who can borrow the power of the demon god, and I was forced by you to carry out the so-called 'trial'?" When Jiang Yao heard this, his heart suddenly became clear, and his face became a little ugly. "But did I say I wanted to become a 'Spirit Divine Envoy'?

"Hehe...... I didn't come up with the idea of 'trial', when you meet the leader of the Spirit Imperial Stage, you can question him in person. Jiuya laughed and shook the pot easily.

"You ......" Jiang Yao just wanted to say something, but then he noticed Yun Lan's murderous eyes, and he could only swallow the slander that came to his mouth.

The three of them continued to walk, and Jiang Yao, who knew his situation, was in a mixed mood, looking at Jiuya's unfathomable appearance, Jiang Yao always felt that the other party still had something to hide from him.

Speechless all the way.

The huge council chamber finally came to an end, and after passing through the last arch, a huge iron door suddenly appeared in front of the three of them.

"Hello, Lord Nine Fangs. The two guards on both sides of the iron gate immediately saluted respectfully after seeing Jiuya and his party. "The leader will be here later, please go in and wait a while. ”

"Okay. Jiuya nodded, and then looked at Yunlan. "I'll just take him in, thank you. ”

After speaking, Jiuya led Jiang Yao alone and stepped into the iron gate.

"Squeak-"

The heavy iron door slowly opened, and you were greeted by a small and exquisite conference hall. The tables and chairs in the hall were neat but seemed empty, and the decoration around it was similar to that of the council chamber, with dynamic murals still flowing on the walls, but the content was very different from the previous ones.

"The frescoes here record the ...... Doesn't it seem like an ancient war?"

Without the pressure of Yunlan's "murderous gaze", Jiang Yao was finally able to speak again and asked at a dynamic mural not far away.

Unlike the imposing war murals in the council chamber, the picture in this mural is quite subtle, only to see a group of people attacking a young monster, as if hunting.

"That's ...... In the siege of the "fierce beast" - gluttony. Nine Teeth stared at the bloody picture and sighed softly.

"Gluttony, is it the gluttony that is called the 'Four Fierce Beasts' of the ancient times together with Han Qi, Qiqi, and Chaos?" Jiang Yao said in surprise. "But, wasn't he already killed by Yi in the Ancient War?"

"It is true that the 'Four Fierce Beasts' were killed in the Ancient War, but this does not mean that the 'Four Fierce Beasts' have 'died', or that they cannot die at all. Nine Teeth looked away and shook his head.

"The ancient beast was assembled by the aura of heaven and earth, and it did not have three souls and seven spirits, so it did not enter the reincarnation, and every time the physical body was destroyed, it would reassemble somewhere in heaven and earth, starting from the juvenile body and re-growing and inheriting the memories of the previous generation. It is precisely because of this characteristic that even after the end of the ancient war, every certain number of years, the reborn "Four Fierce Beasts" will cause chaos, which has become a continuous nightmare for human beings for a long time. Later, people began to actively search for young beasts, killing them before they were yet to grow, which is what you see. ”

“…… In other words, the fierce beasts can only be surrounded and killed by people for the rest of their lives, and they cannot be redeemed......" Jiang Yao looked at the young demon beast covered in blood in the mural, and his mood suddenly became a little complicated.

"However, this bloody slaughter is no longer the case, because people have found a better solution to the beast's rebellion. Jiuya looked at Jiang Yao's expression and said suddenly.

"What's the solution?"

"Tame. Nine Teeth gave the answer.

"After negotiations, the Spirit Imperial Platform and the Demon God Mansion reached a consensus that instead of consuming manpower and material resources to fall into the cycle of constantly chasing and killing the four fierce beasts, it is better to find a way to domesticate them and become companions of humans. ”

"Domesticating the 'Four Fierce Beasts' in ancient times, can this kind of thing really be done?" Jiang Yao questioned.

"Oh, it's not easy, but it can still be done. In the process of domestication, in order to keep the beasts from posing a threat to humans, they first pulled out their 'claws'. ”

Jiuya said, pointing to another mural, only to see that there seemed to be a ritual going on on that mural, and a demon beast was trapped in the circle and roared.

"People sealed the demonic power of the fierce beast, forcing the demon beast itself to be unusable, but at the same time, they longed for the powerful 'power of the fierce beast' in the body of the fierce beast to be used by people, so they tried to use the method of [injecting spirits] to infuse the demonic power of the fierce beast into the spirit and divine envoy, so as to drive the powerful 'power of the fierce beast' during the period. ”

"That'...... The result?"

"Of course, the result is a failure, and it also takes the lives of many spirit envoys, because no one can accept the power of such a ferocious attribute, once forcibly integrated, it will be torn apart, except for ...... A certain category of 'special populations'. Jiuya turned his head and glanced at Jiang Yao.

"As I introduced just now, ordinary people have fixed attributes of the five elements, such as wood attributes, fire attributes, etc., and the power of the demon god that can be borrowed must also be the same as their own attributes or coexist. However, there is a 'colorless attribute' person in the world, who can not only be inherently compatible with all the five element attributes, but also can accommodate the 'fierce attribute' demonic power beyond the five elements, that is, the 'power of the fierce beast'. And there has not been a single case of such a person in these hundred years...... Until you show up. ”

"Me!?" Jiang Yao didn't react for a while. "You're saying I'm a 'colorless' person, right?"

"Hehe, I'm sure of that. ”

An unfamiliar voice sounded coldly from his side, startling Jiang Yao, and he realized that there was suddenly a strange middle-aged man in a dark blue uniform beside him.

"Who ......!?" Jiang Yao reflexively dodged and distanced himself from the man, but saw that the middle-aged man in a straight uniform looked at him with some amusement, and reached out to support the monocle on his face.

"I heard, you're looking for me?" the middle-aged man looked at Jiang Yao with a vigilant face and said with a smile.

"When we first met, I was the current leader of the 'Spirit Imperial Terrace', Lu Jingyi. ”
