Chapter 1458: The Temptation of the Ministers
Wu Kong's face was displeased, and he secretly sneered in his heart.
Loyal ministers, loyal ministers?
Usually everyone claims to be a loyal minister, but at this time, where is the loyal minister?
Just when Wu Kong was depressed, the ministers of civil and military affairs below also had their minds active.
Secretly thought: "This Black Flame Demon Phoenix, the strength is so strong, how can I deal with it?" Your Majesty asked me to wait to clean up the Black Flame Demon Phoenix, I'm afraid I will be embarrassed." This kind of thing should never come out. However, the more times like this, the more often we show ourselves to be 'loyal servants'?
"What is it if you fail to clean up the Black Flame Demon Phoenix? It's just a little face, what are you afraid of? It's not that you haven't lost face. If you are worried about disappointing Your Majesty because you can't take care of the Black Flame Demon Phoenix, then you don't have to, Your Majesty is wise and powerful, how can you not know the strength of the Black Flame Demon Phoenix?
"The key is whether you dare to fight. Would you like to fight or not. It's a matter of attitude. Whether it can be defeated or not is a matter of strength. Attitude is more important than ability. It's like loyalty is more important than being able to be a minister. Those who are capable but not loyal enough are not as capable as those who are incomparably loyal.
"At this time, if we don't express our loyalty and the fearless spirit of exploring for Your Majesty, when will we wait? As long as we can leave a good impression on Your Majesty, then ...... Even if you lose face with the Black Flame Demon Phoenix, it doesn't matter. If you can not damage the body, only suffer a small injury and retreat, and do not need to consume the treasury~~ to repair the body, then it is done, and there is no need to defeat the Black Flame Demon Phoenix to win. ”
So, I was about to move, and I planned to step forward and take the initiative to ask for help.
And some people have a different thought: "At this kind of time, it is impossible for His Majesty Wu Kong not to see the strength of the Black Flame Demon Phoenix, but he didn't ask us how to deal with the Black Flame Demon Phoenix, and he didn't say who you Aiqing could make a plan, only asked who could subdue or defeat the Black Flame Demon Phoenix, which is clear...... It's to test our loyalty and disloyalty, to test the surface of our waiting. ”
Some people even thought: "Your Majesty's move must be to let me wait to investigate and understand the situation, and use me to test the strength of the demon phoenix, and if you really think about it, you can defeat the demon phoenix." ”
These shrewd people have a good mind and can easily figure out problems, so it's simple.
One by one, they stood up and showed their fearless spirit.
"Your Majesty, this demon phoenix is arrogant, doing evil, destroying Huangzhou, and our ministers see it, and they are all different. The minister is not talented, he does not dare to say that he will win, and he does not dare to say that he will be able to defeat or subdue it, but he is willing to drive for my emperor, try the strength of this demon phoenix, and open the way for the latecomers. Please allow your majesty to go and try the depth of the black flame demon phoenix!!"
These words were uttered by a military general wearing battle armor, which made the other ministers look sideways.
"This guy can really talk, so as long as he goes out to fight, even if he can't win or even loses miserably, he will still be meritorious. Originally, His Majesty asked who could deal with the Demon Phoenix, but now he said that he was willing to test it, and the task changed from defeating or subduing the Demon Phoenix to testing the strength of the Demon Phoenix. ”
After thinking about it like this, the other ministers also expressed their attitudes, none of them said that they wanted to defeat the Black Flame Demon Phoenix, they only said that they were willing to try the depth of the Black Flame Demon Phoenix for the "Great Zhou Heavenly Emperor His Majesty Wu Kong".
Wu Kong was speechless.
I thought to myself, "You guys...... is cunning and cunning, and he really avoids the important and takes it lightly. ”
However, the strength of the Black Flame Demon Phoenix is indeed a little stronger, and it is normal for these courtiers to be unsure of defeating it. Wu Kong didn't ask them to destroy the Black Flame Demon Phoenix.
So, he nodded and said: "Everyone, Aiqing, you are enthusiastic, your fighting spirit is high, and I can't bear to touch your intentions, so ...... Well, General Lei, you go first, and try the depth of the Black Flame Demon Phoenix. ”
Wu Kong pointed to the general who spoke just now.
"Yes!!" General Na Lei saluted Wu Kong very happily and flew towards the Black Flame Demon Phoenix.
Among the courtiers, many people stared at General Na Lei with a look of envy, jealous of his good luck and being the first to easily reap the credit, and hated that he had not spoken so smoothly before and had not taken this opportunity.
However...... In the next moment, many ministers were dumbfounded.
That General Ray ...... Flying to the void in front of him, he shuttled several times, wanting to get close to the Black Flame Demon Phoenix, but he was forced to retreat sharply by the black flame heat wave in the void, and his face changed suddenly.
Many Immortal Lords gathered their strength, looked through the void, and gazed at the true spirit of General Nalei in the middle of the zero-dimensional space...... At the level of the three stages of the three realms of immortality, I can barely see it. Not to mention that there are also powerhouses in the three realms and four stages of immortality.
Many people were surprised to find that General Lei's flame of hope had actually weakened a lot. Thankfully, He quickly gathered His mind and burned the Liquid of Eternal Life, allowing the flame of hope of the True Spirit to be restored quickly.
It's just that it was quite dangerous before, and there were a lot of losses.
"Actually, he was just swept away by the black wave of fire, and he was far from getting close to the Black Flame Demon Phoenix, so he was injured like this......?
Then General Lei had a headache.
At such a time, he did not want to come forward, because not only was it impossible to win, but it was also possible that the body would not be able to be saved. It's not a pleasant thing to come forward to die like this.
The power of the Black Flame Demon Phoenix is so far away that it can still hurt him, if it is close, will it even completely extinguish the flame of hope in the true spirit? Together with the living and co-destined people, there will be problems together, and the true spirit will be suppressed? That would not be good.
However...... Wu Kong was staring at the rear, and the ministers were watching, so General Lei had to bite the bullet and continue to fly forward.
Suddenly, the black flame demon phoenix stared at this side, opened its mouth at will, and a black flame broke through the void, enveloping General Lei in an instant, and burning most of him.
The flame of hope shrouded in his body was completely extinguished, and the true spirit in the middle layer of the zero-dimensional space, the flame of hope fell sharply, and the true spirit was seriously injured.
His remaining primordial god, with a small half of the undestroyed fragment of his body, turned his head and fled back to Wu Kong and the others, and then gathered his strength to form a body again, but it was much weaker than before, and it was faintly translucent.
"Your Majesty...... The minister was ashamed. ”
This guy didn't dare to step forward again.
Even after destroying the body, Wu Kong may help it recover...... But at least we can try to find out some useful information, right? Otherwise, it is hard to say whether Wu Kong will agree. Moreover, the loss of face will be greater than it is now.
At this time, Wu Kong just nodded slightly, not committal.
I couldn't tell whether I was satisfied or angry, but I just glanced at the other courtiers.
Wu Kong didn't ask "who will step forward next", because, he knew, there would definitely be many people who flinched.
So, he directly stretched out his hand and pointed: "General Feng...... You've said before......"
"Ouch, minister...... The world ...... in the inner world"
This General Feng just wanted to say that the world in his body was rioting, causing stomach pain or something, and his breath was disordered and not suitable for fighting, but when he saw Wu Kong's cold eyes, he immediately didn't dare to say any more. But it didn't work if he didn't say it, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "The power of the world in the minister's body is surging, and I can't wait to fight for Your Majesty immediately." Before, the minister had said that he wanted to try the depth of the black flame demon phoenix, and now, please ask Your Majesty to invite the minister. The minister went to the soup and did not hesitate to do anything. ”
"Okay!!" Wu Kong praised: "I, the Great Zhou Emperor, need a loyal minister like you." ”
General Feng is overjoyed, loyal minister...... Wu Kong recognized these two words, and said them openly, so it would not be so difficult for General Feng to enter the "Wuzhong Pavilion" in the future. Even if you want to enter the "Xianchen Pavilion", I'm afraid it's not difficult.
"I don't need you to go to the soup, but I want to go to the fire, so let me see your loyalty. ”
"Yes!!"
General Feng replied stubbornly.
Flew forward, observed for a while, and flew towards the black flames scattered by the black flame demon phoenix, but as soon as it was close, it retreated, and then, flew elsewhere, approached those black flames in another place, and then quickly retreated, so rapid and retreating, and successfully retreated before being hurt. Or even though they took some damage and sucked some black flames to weaken the Flame of Hope, they didn't suffer much damage at least.
The ministers were suspicious, and some people muttered: "Dealing with errands like this, and still stealing and playing cunning in front of His Majesty Wu Kong, the Great Zhou Heavenly Emperor, this General Feng is too cowardly, right?"
But some shrewd people secretly praised: "A good General Feng, although he is cautious, he can use many temptations to test the characteristics of the black fire." How close to how far you will take damage. The corrosive effect of the overflowing black flame on the flame of hope, whether other means can be used to suppress the impact of that black power, these simple data should be able to get it back. Although it is of little significance, it is ...... It's barely possible. ”
At this moment, General Feng's body pounced and forcibly broke into the depths of the Black Flame Region, and the Black Flame Demon Phoenix turned its head to stare at him, and he quickly flew back and teleported back.
The body has been burned a lot when it goes in and out.
Returning to Wu Kong, his face was full of shame: "Your Majesty, the minister is ashamed, his strength is not good, and he failed to find out more about the Black Flame Demon Phoenix, and he can only learn some of the characteristics of its Black Flame Phoenix, which is recorded here." Worthy of His Majesty's trust. ”
The crowd looked strange.
Wu Kong took a memory crystal presented by General Nafeng, took it and browsed it, and showed it to the ministers.
When the ministers looked at it, they were speechless.
This General Feng really came back with some news tentatively, but it was all superficial information. However, according to His temptation, a firm heart can make the flame of hope more resilient to the corrosive effects of that black fire.
In addition to being the image of a flame and being more violent, the other properties are the same as those of the Kuroshio liquid, which contains all kinds of negative wills, including despair, sadness, etc., and the power of grinding people's minds and slashing people's hopes and beliefs is integrated into it.
Therefore, many methods used to deal with Kuroshio liquid can be tried here.
"General Feng has worked hard, although his strength is insufficient, but he is loyal, strategic, and not bad. Go down and rest. ”
General Feng hurriedly thanked him and retreated.
Wu Kong praised Him for his loyalty, and his resourcefulness, which is recognition. However, he said that his strength was insufficient, which made General Feng's progress likely to be hindered. Praise and depreciation, whether it is a profit or a loss, this General Feng only knows himself.
Next, Wu Kong pointed to several other treacherous people and went to test them.
One by one, strong people with different strengths and different willpower strengths were all sent out.
The power of the black flame has really been tested.
The Black Flame Demon Phoenix doesn't breathe fire when it sees anyone, it will only breathe fire when it finds that it is strong enough to threaten it, otherwise it will just stay there and absorb fire.
When Wu Kong assigned Generalissimo Zheng to go out to test it, the Black Flame Demon Phoenix finally had a different performance.
I saw its huge body, opening its mouth and making a chirping, the void cracked, and the invisible soundprints turned into tangible textures, sweeping the void, shaking the void, tearing out cracks, and then, the terrifying power spread in all directions. The huge black flame demon phoenix soared into the sky, shrinking its body, compressing and becoming smaller like a small bird, but the power contained in it was even more powerful and terrifying.
"How can it shrink and compress so small?"
Generalissimo Zheng couldn't help frowning, and his face was deep. This Black Flame Demon Phoenix is more dangerous than before, and he can't go and test it.
Wu Kong's eyes flickered, and as soon as he groaned in his heart, he had a plan.
"Zheng Dashuai and retreated, waiting for me to take action in person. ”
"What ?!!"
The ministers were shocked, the other courtiers had not really fought with the Black Flame Demon Phoenix, it was not a real temptation, at this time, Wu Kong was going to take action in person......?
Is Wu Kong sure? If he misses, this emperor's prestige will be lost, not only will Wu Kong lose face, but the entire court ministers will also lose face.
So, one by one, they came forward to dissuade them.
Wu Kong shook his head and waved his hand: "There is no need to persuade again, I have already made up my mind." ”
The ministers were anxious, but they didn't want to say more.
Wu Kong said: "This evil bird has become a climate, I am the emperor of the sky, and I have the responsibility of protecting all the people, so I should do my best to suppress this bird." However, I am in danger of the world, and I cannot easily take risks, so although I take action, I will not personally take risks. ”
The ministers were a little confused.
Just listen to Wu Kong's quick order, let many soldiers and horses set up a formation, ready to bless the powerful power to which general, and bless the hope and faith, so that the immortal artifact battle armor on their bodies is full of all kinds of hope power, and restrain the powerful power of the black tide liquid.
In this way, Wu Kong said: "I will take action to suppress and seal that evil bird in a special space, so that it cannot escape, and the great war will not cause much damage to the Great Zhou, and make it impossible to escape, however, I can't personally take risks, to defeat it, it will be up to the generals to join forces."
"After this fowl is suppressed, it has cut off contact with the negative will in the depths of the earth here, cut off contact with other black flames in Huangzhou, and lost contact with the negative forces of various nether realms and leylines. At that time, whether or not you can defeat this fowl depends on the generals. ”
Wu Kong said this, and the ministers suddenly knew what Wu Kong's idea was.
However, if Wu Kong could suppress the Black Flame Demon Phoenix and weaken its power in that mysterious space, then perhaps, it may not be impossible to fight.
"The generals are ready, and when I give the order, we will do it. ”
Wu Kong said, taking one step at a time, shuttling through the void, approaching the front of the Black Flame Demon Phoenix, and approaching the place where the black flames were filled.
