Chapter 17: Reaching Consensus

The big demon king said: "Little ghost, the transaction is very simple, I will help you improve your strength, you let me fuse your soul body!"

Zhang Mo didn't know what the other party's intention was to fuse his soul body, and he didn't dare to rashly agree to the other party, so he said: "No! If my soul body is fused by you, I still have a life?"

The Great Demon King thought that he could deceive Zhang Mo's consent, but the other party's reaction was so strong that he thought that his intentions had been discovered, so he had to say: "My divine consciousness does not merge with your soul body, so it is always okay for my divine consciousness to be stored in your sea of consciousness, right?" You can't refuse, if my divine sense can't be stored in your sea of consciousness space, I can't improve your strength." ”

Zhang Mo didn't know what the harm of the other party depositing his divine consciousness in his own sea of consciousness, but the other party gave in, and he couldn't continue to insist, so he said: "Dasha, force, you can store your divine consciousness in my sea of consciousness, but I can't trust you yet, so you must make a blood oath that you will never devour my soul body, let alone occupy my body." ”

Seeing Zhang Mo making such an unreasonable request, the Great Demon King was immediately silent.

Zhang Mo said: "Big fool, since you don't want to, then I will fight you to the end, even if I die, I will not agree to you to deposit in my sea of knowledge space." ”

The Great Demon King knew that there would be no result from continuing to fight, and he had used thunder and lightning to forcibly separate his divine consciousness from the Regent, and if it took a long time, his primordial spirit would completely dissipate.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Great Demon King said, "Little ghost, I agree to your proposal. But you can't call me stupid again, or I'll be in a hurry with you!"

Zhang Mo saw that the other party relented again, and immediately said: "Don't worry, the Great Demon King, I will never call you stupid in the future! How about calling you a big red ball?"

The Great Demon King was really speechless, and reminded: "Little ghost, I have a name, you can listen to me, my name is Tongtian Daoren!"

Zhang Mocai didn't care whether the other party was called a Tongtian Daoist or a Tongdi Daoist, and urged: "Old man, you should make a blood oath first!"

Tongtian Dao people were helpless, so they had to make a blood oath according to Zhang Mo's request: "I, Tongtian Dao people, swear here, from now on, to store in Zhang Mo's sea of knowledge space, never devour his soul body, nor take away his body, if there is a violation, heaven and earth will be destroyed!"

After the oath was completed, a faint red light flew out from the top of Zhang Mo's head, and then flew towards the void.

After Zhang Mo saw that Tongtian made an oath, he would no longer forcibly devour his divine body, and immediately relaxed his vigilance against the other party, and the pain from his head dissipated.

Seeing that Zhang Mo no longer roared in pain, the Nine Great Demon Kings dragged him back to the shore.

"Master, what happened just now?" Bai Mei couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay, I'm worried about you. Before, I forcibly refined the Regency and was counterattacked, so I had a splitting headache. In the future, you should be careful and never touch it. This stick is not simple, it may be an evil thing, I was too reckless before, so I got started, and from now on, I will definitely not try it easily. Zhang Mo didn't tell the truth, but the Nine Great Demon Kings were indeed convinced.

After all, these demon kings had never seen such a big battle, and it was impossible to verify whether Zhang Mo's words were true or false.

The sudden change caused a brief turmoil, but the villagers near Xiling did not react much, after all, Xiling has changed greatly, and no one dares to inspect Xiling deeply.

There is a forbidden place in the imperial city of Hezhou, the distant capital of the state of Chen, which is called Sun Moon Lake, with this lake as the center, and the range of ten miles is a forbidden area, and it is forbidden to enter without royal approval.

In the center of the Sun Moon Lake there is a small island, and on the island there is a tower called Honghu Pagoda.

I saw a middle-aged man in a yellow robe hurriedly walking along the stone bridge to the Honghu Tower, at the entrance of the tower, two guards saw that the people did not dare to stop them, and opened the bronze door to let the yellow-robed man enter it.

The yellow-robed man walked straight into the Honghu Pagoda, and then came to the Buddha statue in the ancestral hall. In front of the Buddha statue, an old man in a gray monk's uniform kept knocking on the wooden fish.

The yellow-robed man bowed to the old man and said, "Father, the spiritual power in Changzhou is surging, maybe someone breaks through the Dou Ling Realm, or it may be a treasure in the world!"

The old man stopped knocking on the wooden fish, and after a little contemplation, he responded: "Pei'er, whether someone breaks through the Dou Ling Realm or the treasure is in the world, don't force it, all cause and effect are doomed, just let it be!"

The man in the yellow robe replied: "Obey my father's orders! It's just that there are still a few months before the national conscription period, Xiuwen, this girl has to go to Changzhou, I can't persuade me, or you should persuade me! ”

The old man smiled and said, "Xiuwen has grown up, I can't control her, let her go! ”

"Yes, father, I have left beforehand!" said the yellow-robed man bowed again, and then turned to leave.

The old man is the old emperor Chen Yan of the retired Chen State, he has abdicated for many years and has long faded out of the field of vision of the common people, so the people of the Chen State think that he is dead, but in fact he is still alive and well.

You must know that in the Linglong Continent, whether it is the Chen State, the Qin State, the Yun State, or the Yue State, the old emperors after the abdication generally no longer meet the world, and their lives and deaths will not be notified to their respective subjects, which makes the common people of all countries accustomed to it.

Now the emperor of Chen Guo is Chen Pei, who is the yellow-robed man who stepped into the Honghu Pagoda before. He looked like he was in his forties, but his real age was sixty-five.

The men of the Chen royal family married relatively late, which made Chen Pei's eldest child still less than twenty years old after he sat on the throne, and the youngest child was only a few years old.

Xiuwen in Chen Pei's mouth is one of all his children, the most unruly of all princesses, and Chen Yan's favorite granddaughter, who is only twelve years old this year. Chen Xiuwen is slim and slim, because she has been pampered since she was a child, which makes her personality biased towards men, and she likes to compete with her brother and brother for everything.

Xiuwen's brothers didn't dare to provoke this sister, with Chen Yan, the old emperor, covering, no matter what she did right or wrong, the last punishment was always these princes who competed with her. For a long time, no prince was willing to play with Xiuwen.

Not long ago, Xiuwen heard that there were violent spiritual power fluctuations in Changzhou, and several brothers planned to go to Changzhou to see what was going on. As soon as Xiuwen heard that there was something interesting, he immediately asked the emperor's father to go to Changzhou to inspect and investigate the cause of spiritual power fluctuations.

Chen Pei did not agree immediately, and only after meeting the old emperor did he agree to Xiuwen's request.

Xiuwen took a maid and got into a carriage and headed towards Changzhou, and there were many guards accompanying him.

......

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Zhang Mo completed the training task of the iron pillar, and he planned to return to Zhangjiabao to hand over the task.

"Bai Mei, Dana, Yi Gang, Chijia, Spotted Tiger, Qingjiao, Ran Yong, the seven of you are waiting in the debasement to be on standby, Bei Sha, Thorn Flower, you follow me back to Zhangjiabao!" Zhang Mo ordered loudly.

"It's the master!" the Nine Demon Kings commanded.

Now the nine demon kings have all stepped into the second-order demon beasts, and their combat power far exceeds before. Especially the three demons of Baimei, Dana, and Beisha, they are infinitely close to the third-order demon beasts, and they are already invincible existences in Xiling, and only by going out can they continue to improve their realm.

Then Zhang Mo sat on Beisha's back, and then flew into the sky. After leaving Xiling, Zhang Mo jumped off Beisha's back and returned to the ground.

"Beisha, Thorn Flower, this is the whistle I made, when you hear the whistle, come to see me!" Zhang Mo finished speaking, and began to whistle, so that the second demon remembered the signal he summoned.

"Master, we remember!" replied Beshach and Thorn Flower at the same time, and then broke through the air. They flew into the sky, and then observed Zhang Mo's path from high altitude.

As second-order demon beasts, they can fly in the sky for a long time, like suspended clouds, and the humans below are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, even if they see it, it is too high, and they are not surprised.

Zhang Mo returned to the thatched hut where he and Tie Zhu lived before, and saw that there was nothing to take away, so he walked directly to Zhangjiabao.

Ten years ago he came to Xiling on horseback, and now he has to walk back. Of course, if he wants, he can fly with a stick.

An hour passed, and Zhang Mo saw Zhangjiabao from a distance.

Knock knock knock......

Hearing the sound of gongs and drums coming from Zhangjiabao, Zhang Mo breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, if it's one day late, I'll be late." ”

Zhang Mo knew that this was the beginning of the annual spiritual vein test, and he returned to the village with a homemade straw hat, and everyone in the village rushed to the ancestral hall, but no one found out that he had returned to the village.

Zhang Mo shook his head helplessly, and had no choice but to go to the ancestral hall.

The Zhang family ancestral hall has existed for I don't know how many years, since Zhang Mo remembers, he has been to the ancestral hall twice, and if you count this time, it should be the third time.

The huge Zhangjia ancestral hall is full of people today, young and old. The village chief is still Zhang Yuan, and there is another person beside him, this person looks like a scholar, he is Zhang Mo's eldest brother Zhang Qian, after so many years, he has passed the assessment and become the deputy governor of Yongning County, Changzhou, which can be described as a success, which makes Zhang Yuan continue to serve as the village chief and no one dares to object.

"Zhang Jing, the four products of the fighter!"

"Zhang Cai, the second rank of the fighter!"

"Zhang Fei, fighter Sanpin!"

"Zhang Yong, the second rank of the fighter!"

......

Half an hour has passed, and all the young men in the village have completed the test, except for Zhang Mo, of course.

"Now I announce that this spiritual vein test has been completed, and Zhang Jing, Zhang Cai, Zhang Fei, and Zhang Yong will go to the Changzhou military camp to report after the New Year. Zhang Yuan said loudly.

Just as everyone was about to break up, suddenly a voice sounded.

"Wait, and me!"

When everyone heard the sound, they saw a young man wearing a straw hat at the entrance of the ancestral hall with his hands crossed on his chest, looking like a second-rate child.

"Young man, who are you? This is our Zhangjiabao spiritual vein test, which village are you from? Are you here to make trouble?" an old man couldn't stand it, and asked rhetorically.

I saw that the visitor let go of his arm, and then reached out to uncover the straw hat on his head, revealing his original appearance.

The person who came was Zhang Mo, but none of these people around him recognized him. However, Zhang Qian in the center of the ancestral hall recognized him and said excitedly: "He is Zhang Mo, my third brother!"

Zhang Mo grinned, then spread his hands and walked towards the eldest brother.

"Big brother, how did you recognize me?" Zhang Mo asked as he looked at the other party with some puzzlement.

"Haha, it's really your third brother! I guessed just now, I didn't expect you to be alive! Great, we all thought you were ....... all these years" Zhang Qian wanted to speak and stopped, but the excitement in his heart was indescribable.

"Think I'm dead? Big brother, my life is big, it's not so easy to die. By the way, what about mother?" Zhang Mo only saw his father and eldest brother present before, but he didn't see his mother, and asked with some longing in his heart.

Without waiting for Zhang Qian to answer, Zhang Yuan said: "Mo'er, I'll answer you." ”

"There was a beast tide in Xiling a year ago, and we all thought you were dead, so we never told your mother. Later, when your mother heard the news of your death out of nowhere, she spent the whole day and the night, and soon became blind from crying. Now that she's staying at home, she can't go anywhere, and she doesn't want to go. Now that you're back, your mother must be overjoyed. Go, I'll take you to see your mother now. ”
