Closing the holy record, Zhao Shenlu exhaled lightly, and then suddenly felt a little uncomfortable by a light cast from the window, and then realized that the time had come to the next day.

The three of them were in the room deciphering the Burning Blood Text, and before they knew it, the night had passed. The historical truth of 2,000 years ago makes people forget the time in a trance.

"That's the story, you two, what do you think?"

Zongzhu opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only shake his head, indicating that he had nothing to say.

"What about you, honey?" Zhao Shenlu asked, and at the same time his gaze was firmly locked on Wang Jiu.

Although Wang Jiu in front of him is just the true appearance of the sword spirit projected by the illusion sword technique, Wang Jiu is sincere by nature and will not hide his true thoughts because of the projection. His thoughts are clearly written on his face.

Zhao Shenlu had already read what she wanted from Wang Jiu's expression, but she had to confirm it again.

"What do you think, honey?"

Wang Jiu was silent.

It's a complex situation that has never been seen before, and he's never been good at dealing with it.

From the moment they truly possessed a perfect life, the Demon Destroyer had become an instinct engraved in the depths of their souls, above all other instincts.

After all, in the final analysis, the birth of the Outer Heaven Divine Sword was to destroy the demon clan and preserve the Kyushu Continent. In order to survive, human beings gathered the essence of the continent's resources and used them for blood sacrifice summoning. If it is only for the pursuit of the supreme realm of the so-called immortal path, human beings are reluctant to use the blood capital.

And after his birth, the situation Wang Jiu faced has always been simple and clear, the demons are in front, and the humans are behind, so he just needs to move forward.

But now the situation is complicated and a little bizarre, the founder of the civilization of this new world is his sworn enemy demon clan, and these two painting demons have been recognized by this world.

If it was during the War of Immortals and Demons, anyone who gave convenience to the demons and had a hesitant attitude towards the demons could be directly drawn to the enemy's column, and the situation at that time was such a dichotomy between life and death, and it was also simple and bright to deal with, which was very suitable for Wang Jiu, who likes to divide one sword and two points.

But now, the situation can no longer be a simple sword and two points.

How should we deal with demons? If the rules of the Kyushu era are followed, then what Wang Jiu has to do now is very simple: do his best to restore the prosperity of the sword world, let himself have the power to destroy the world as soon as possible, and then sweep the sword blade and sweep away the human civilization built in the hands of the demons.

Yes, this is a very rational judgment.

Although the current Xiangshu civilization seems to have the shadow of the Kyushu era, and it is full of vitality and promise, it seems that as long as there is enough time to accumulate, it will be able to revive the glory of human civilization...... But in the final analysis, this is due to the demon race, and considering that the formation of the Xiangzhou continent is based on the land polluted by the demons, the laws related to the demons are all over the heaven and earth, and as the sword of slaying demons, it is understandable to destroy all this.

But this is obviously impossible, because it directly goes against another instinct of the Outer Heaven Excalibur: to protect humanity. Even if today's human civilization is a polluted civilization that is no longer pure, the main part is still human beings after all.

Moreover, the current Wang Jiu is also in a stage of self-doubt.

The most direct reason why the Outer Heaven Divine Sword had a supreme position back then was that it had supreme power, but does the current Outer Heaven Divine Sword still have the same irresistible edge as it used to be? Apparently not.

Even the basic ability to identify demons is no longer absolute. The Demon Sword, which is highly trusted by him, has failed to live up to the expectations of its master many times, and even at the last moment of disintegration, he has not been able to find the demon clan that is close at hand.

Does such an Extraterrestrial Divine Sword still have the qualifications to slay demons and eliminate demons?

"My dear, you have too many concerns, and this is not something that can be decided on the spot." Zhao Shenlu was very considerate to see Wang Jiu's consideration at this time, and immediately interrupted his thinking, "Let's rest for two days before making conclusions." ”

Wang Jiu turned his head and looked at Zhao Shenlu, clearly seeing a flicker in her eyes.

"No need, no matter how difficult and complicated the question about the demon race, there is never a need to rest for two days before making conclusions."

Zhao Shenlu's smile was slightly bitter: "Yes, I was negligent." ”

In a trance, Zhao Shenlu felt that he had returned to the past, back to his life named Zhao Yueming.

During the Great War of Immortals and Demons, such a conversation once happened.

When faced with a difficult problem, the Outer Heaven Divine Sword and the Nine Immortal Venerable occasionally disagreed, the Nine Immortal Venerables, including Concubine Shang and Zhao Yueming, the two staunchest supporters, all thought that they should slow down their steps first and think about the long term, but the Outer Heaven Divine Sword insisted on forging ahead, regardless of the Longtan Tiger's Lair ahead.

And whenever such a dispute occurs, the final result must be the victory of the Outer Heaven Divine Sword.

"So, my dear, what is your conclusion?"

Wang Jiu said, "I'm going to start sharpening my sword. ”

“…… Sharpen your sword. Zhao Shenlu was slightly surprised, but quickly nodded, "What do you need?" ”

"I don't need anything, it's my duty."

After saying that, Wang Jiu turned around and left the room.

Zhao Shenlu watched the Excalibur go away behind his back and sighed slightly.

The sect master was a little confused when he heard it, and asked, "Sharpen the sword?" ”

Zhao Shenlu said: "Literally, the blade of the sword is blunt and needs to be sharpened, so he went to sharpen the sword." ”

This explanation made the sect master even more inexplicable, so he had to wait quietly for Zhao Shenlu to explain further.

"Don't worry, it's not the worst-case scenario, I thought his reaction would be a little more intense, well, if it was him in the past, we all have to be careful now."

"Be careful of what?"

"Be careful, he purifies us all." Zhao Shenlu said this, with a smile on his face, "Fortunately, it's just sharpening the sword, and the situation doesn't seem to be too bad." ”

"This ......," the sect master became more and more confused as he listened, "You mean, because the civilization of the Xiangzhou Continent was established by the demons, he wants to destroy the entire Xiangzhou civilization?" It can't be, right!? ”

"Why can't it be?" Zhao Shenlu said, "Even I had a hint of impulse just now. ”

"Hey!?" The sect master immediately stood up, "You're not sober?!" ”

"You're not in your right mind." Zhao Shenlu waved his hand and motioned for the sect master to sit down, "If I really want to kill you, I did it just now when you were not prepared, although the strength of you and I is almost the same, but I really want to kill you with all my might, you can't survive." And after you die, there will be no one in the Garden of Ten Thousand Phases who can stop me...... Forget it, anyway, it's just casual talk, dear since they have decided to sharpen their swords, it proves that the situation is not at its worst, and we are still good friends who can eat and drink together. ”

After speaking, seeing that the sect master still stood up straight, without the slightest intention of relaxing, Zhao Shenlu had no choice but to explain: "You have not participated in the Immortal Demon War, so you can't understand many of our judgments, but objectively speaking, this kind of attitude of making decisions on the spot is a must. The demons don't keep prisoners of war, but that doesn't mean they won't take advantage of human weaknesses, have you heard of demonization? Humans who have been polluted by the power of the demons,From the outside,,Basically unchanged,Still retain the form of a human being,Even retain the previous memories and thoughts,But I don't know when it will suddenly become ill.,Indiscriminate attacks on everything around you.,If you're limited in your ability to act.,Then simply self-detonate.,The power is quite amazing...... For this kind of demonic disease, until the end of the war, there is no good enough treatment, and there is not even a real meaning of healing, once infected, the best way is to raise the knife and give him a good time, otherwise it will only affect everyone else. ”

Hearing this, the sect master combined with some of the desolate fragments left in the Wanxiang Garden, and roughly understood the cruel scene that Zhao Shenlu said.

"However, demonization is only an individual situation, and if too many people are involved......"

Zhao Shenlu interrupted: "Demonic disease is an infectious disease, and the transmission channel is all known channels!" As long as the two are within 100 meters of each other, they are likely to be hit if they don't have an anti-magic treasure! And it only takes an hour or two to go from infection to becoming a full-fledged host...... So you know what kind of situation we were facing? The first urgent report informing a suspected demonic patient had just arrived, and the second informing him of the tragic news of the fall of the entire territory of a certain place followed! The difference in time between the two is less than half a day, and the delivery channels of the two urgent reports are different, resulting in the time when the letters came at the same time, and did not give us time to react at all. So, if it's you, how are you going to treat the demonized patients? ”

The sect master was speechless, in this case, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots was the only way.

"And now, in a sense, Xiangzhou Continent is a demonized patient."

"Exaggeration." The Sect Master said, "Although it is undeniable that everything in this continent is related to the Demon Race, we have not lost our human self-...... because of this."

"Every demonized patient thought so before the onset of the disease, and their behavior was indeed no different from that of a normal person. So when we cut the grass and eradicate the roots, it is as if we are slaughtering our own people. Zhao Shenlu said, an expression of extreme disgust appeared on his face, "So every time I perform this kind of task of cutting weeds and eradicating roots, I can only ask us skilled workers." ”

After hearing this, the sect master really didn't know how to explain it, the difference in knowledge and experience made him unable to truly understand some of the practices of the Kyushu era.

"However, the Sword Spirit senior thinks that the matter has not yet reached the point of no return?"

Zhao Shenlu said: "Yes, judging from his reaction just now, he didn't regard Xiangzhou Continent as a demonized patient, but he was just suspicious." And although we are merciless to the demonic disease, we are not indiscriminate after all. ”

"But what does it mean to sharpen a sword?"

"This means that when a suspected patient becomes ill, we can immediately cut down the grass and eradicate the roots." Zhao Shenlu said, "The current Outer Heaven Divine Sword has not recovered its power in its heyday, so it is necessary to sharpen the blade of the sword. ”

The sect master couldn't help but be nervous: "Could it be that he thinks that his current strength is not strong enough to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and after he sharpens it, he ......?"

Zhao Shenlu said: "Two different things, his strength is indeed not strong enough, but when it comes to demonization, you must not wait until you are fully prepared, because at that time, the opponent must have swelled to an incredible level, and there are many dreams at night, God knows what other means the demons have." Therefore, even if you don't have enough strength, you will definitely strike when it's time to strike. What's more, if the Outer Heaven Divine Sword really regarded the Xiangzhou Continent as an enemy, with his current strength, it would be enough to destroy the world...... Oh, don't believe it, when the Outer Heaven Divine Sword is necessary, it can strengthen itself by sacrificing blood to the living. Although he was still no match for some of the most powerful immortal cultivators, as long as he lurked and killed tens of thousands of people, he could quickly recover his strength in a very short time. ”

Hearing this, the sect master simply shuddered: "Kill tens of thousands of people......

"That used to be the final plan of the Great War of Immortals and Demons, although the Outer Heaven Divine Sword was invincible the moment it was born, but before the head-on battle with the Demon Emperor, none of us can guarantee that its power is enough to overwhelm the great demon who has destroyed the Ten Thousand Worlds, so when things really come to a desperate situation, it is wiser to sacrifice in exchange for victory than to give everyone their lives together. Fortunately, things didn't go that far, though. So, feel lucky, after he woke up, although he also wanted to restore the glory of the sword world, he never thought about it at the expense of humans, and he didn't think about it at all...... Otherwise, even if you kill some people who have committed the most heinous crimes, you can speed up the recovery process. But that also means that in his eyes, the inhabitants of this continent are not human beings worthy of his protection. ”

After speaking, Zhao Shenlu also stood up: "But you can't be too optimistic, the Outer Heaven Divine Sword decided to sharpen the blade, which means that he thinks that there are still risks in this world that require him to go all out." And since this risk needs to be dealt with so seriously by the Outer Heaven Divine Sword, if we are careless, we will die without a place to be buried. ”

After scaring the sect master, Zhao Shenlu left Wanxiang Garden and quickly caught up with the Outer Heaven Divine Sword that had not gone far in front.

"Honey, it's not that bad, is it? Do you already feel threatened? ”

Regarding the decision to sharpen the sword, Zhao Shenlu was actually a little surprised.

Although the discovery in the holy book is indeed somewhat earth-shattering, after all, it is also the history of 2,000 years ago, and the present peace cannot be completely denied because of the past history.

What's more, although the founder of the Holy Sect was a demon clan, those two demon clans actually didn't leave much behind.

According to the text of the second half of the Holy Order, after realizing that they have been deeply assimilated by the human world, they are indeed trying to maintain their position as demons, including compiling the Mystery Scroll, that is, the dictionary of demon scripts, and also trying to give birth to the offspring of demons in order to spread the demon bloodline.

About this, in fact, it's a new story, the process is quite exciting, but no matter how wonderful the process is, it hasn't changed the result, the bloodline of the demon race has finally been completely cut off after hundreds of years of continuation, and the demon culture hidden in the Holy Sect has also lost its practical significance.

The current Xiangzhou continent is a pure human civilization, although it is still a little immature, but it is full of vitality. In terms of the external environment, although there are countless demonic spirits and unknown other creatures in the Chaos Void, at least in the visible range, there is no concept that can threaten human civilization.

"Sharpening the sword is not because of the perception of a definite threat." Wang Jiu opened his mouth and said, "Instead, I sensed that there were indeed flaws in my body, and after falling asleep, I was no longer the same person I used to be." ”

Zhao Shenlu frowned and said, "Because of the failure of the Demon Sword, you have doubts about yourself?" Honey, you're not so vulnerable, are you? ”

Wang Jiu explained: "This is necessary caution, just imagine if it is on the battlefield of the Immortal Demon War, the Demon Sword suddenly fails, how do you want me to deal with it?" ”

Zhao Shenlu was suddenly dumbfounded, if this kind of thing really happened in actual combat, even the Nine Immortal Venerables, who had been through a hundred battles, would inevitably fall into a panic, and then return to the team to repair as soon as possible.

"But ......," Zhao Shenlu argued, "there's no need to go straight to the sword sharpening stage, right?" Once you start sharpening your sword, you can't get close to the living, and with the current Xiangzhou environment, no one can say what can be sharpened. I finally reunited with you, and I don't want to be a widow anymore. ”

For this kind of emotional demand, which is somewhat contrary to reason, Wang Jiu has also learned to take it seriously at this time, and after thinking about it, he said: "If you can't stand the loneliness, you can consider freezing yourself, and when I wake up, you can wake up again, and you can avoid the long years during the period." ”

“…… Thank you for thinking about me, but Bing Lian is still a backup plan, that is, the decision to sharpen the sword will not be reversed? ”

Wang Jiu said, "Unless you can give me a reason to withdraw." The record on the holy record directly broke my authority in identifying the demons, and now I have no way to ensure the extinction of the demons, or even ...... There is no way to ensure the death of the Demon Emperor. ”

The word Demon Emperor finally made Zhao Shenlu shudder.

"My dear, if the Demon Emperor doesn't die, it's you who dies!"

"Common sense is true, in that kind of intense battle, there is no draw, even if there is only the last breath left, we will use it to strangle the opponent, my life means the death of the Demon Emperor, but this is just an inference based on common sense, the reality does not stick to common sense, even the founder of the Holy Sect can be a demon, and it is not strange that anything happens again."

Zhao Shenlu said: "That's just a possibility, so it won't be ...... for this."

"As long as there is the slightest possibility, it is worth going all out to deal with it, this is my mission from birth." Wang Jiu said seriously, "For ordinary people, this kind of isolation is a kind of torture, but for me, this is the original daily life, on the contrary, the communication between people is more like torture." ”

“……”

"I have an intelligence index of up to 9 points, in the Kyushu Continent back then, and even in all the known worlds, there is only one person who is likely to surpass me, but this intelligence is not applied to human feelings, and I may even be inferior to Shen Qingming in dealing with human feelings."

"The sudden name makes the conversation between you and me a little joyful."

Wang Jiu didn't mean to be happy: "Forcing me to do something I'm not good at is a kind of torture, so I'd rather do what I'm good at for the risk that may occur." As long as I can regain my strength as soon as possible, even if the Demon Emperor is reborn, I can kill it again. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Shenlu really has nothing to say, but if she just lets the Heavenly Excalibur leave, go to an unknown remote area alone, and fall into a deep sleep, she is always reluctant.

"By the way, finally...... I'll tell you a joke. ”

"Jokes?" Wang Jiu finally stopped and turned his head to look at Zhao Shenlu.

Zhao Shenlu said: "Do you remember the holy record we looked at just now, some of it was skipped by me because it was not the point, and you didn't have time to read it carefully, but the content is actually very interesting." The two-headed painting demon, that is, the founder of the Holy Sect, after realizing that he had been seriously polluted by human civilization, actually had the same idea as humans: pinning his hopes on the next generation. In other words, there is a need for reproduction and reproduction, to be honest, the demon clan wants to reproduce, which is even more incredible than you, the Outer Heaven Divine Sword, want to reproduce and reproduce - so after reading this paragraph, I am more determined to combine with you, even the demon clan can do things, it makes no sense that I, the Nine Immortal Venerable who has defeated the demon race, can't do it. ”

Wang Jiu automatically skipped the irrelevant part and captured the point: "The two-headed demon clan has indeed achieved reproduction?" ”

"Yes, it took a long time to finally achieve this miracle."

It is indeed an out-and-out miracle, because the painting demons are not sexually reproducing creatures at all, they are unified through the demon brood to complete the reproduction, and they are alienated from insect eggs - this reproduction method is still designed by the demon emperor himself - that is to say, the individual who paints the demon does not have reproductive functions at all.

However, on the Xiangzhou continent where there is no demon nest, two demons who have no reproductive ability have achieved reproductive reproduction, leaving their own blood offspring.

"Speaking of which, doesn't it feel like the old king next door is a little bit of meant?" Zhao Shenlu smiled, "Now it seems that those two painting demons are really amazing, they play the role of the saints of the human world, helping the nascent civilization to stagger, and at the same time, in their busy schedules, secretly carry out many experiments, deeply understand the mysteries of human beings and themselves, and finally theoretically find a way to combine with humans and give birth to offspring, and the next problem is to find a woman who is willing to cooperate with their great plan and give birth to children for them." ”

"This step,They have been stuck until death and have not broken through,If you want to complete the plan of reproduction,Not only do women who need to cooperate have excellent physical fitness,Able to withstand complex and harsh transformation,More importantly, the spiritual fit,To accept the continuation of the demon race as a human race。 Such people can be said to be impossible to exist at all, and even if they existed, they could not be found under the conditions at that time, so they finally thought of a way that had no choice, my dear, can you guess? ”

Wang Jiu said: "Generally speaking, when the needs of reproduction cannot be met through the cooperation of others, they can only be self-reliant. ”

"Hahaha, you are really an expert on the problem of the demon race, and you guessed the truth at once, that's right, they were finally forced to be helpless, and they played male and female on their own, and completed reproduction. In fact, if you think about it, all this is simply logical, there is no gender distinction between painting demons, human men and women are the same in their eyes, and in order to perfectly disguise themselves as humans, they have already greatly transformed their physical body structure, and later added the function of continuing their descendants. So when it's helpless, as long as you adjust the sex on your body a little and copulate on your own, it's actually more suitable than copulating with human women, after all, the demons and demons who have mated their descendants have a purer bloodline...... So later recorded in the history books, the so-called hidden in the shadows, the wives of the two founders of the Holy Sect, in fact, did not exist at all, they copulated on their own, and gave birth to two demon cubs, and the offspring born in this way have been essentially different from the painting of demons, they are more like human beings, the characteristics of the demon race are firmly hidden in the depths of the bloodline, and they must be slightly awakened through special rituals - that's right, it is the eternal hope among the ten immortal arts of the Holy Sect. In addition, they are able to bond with humans in normal ways, and they no longer need to look for harsh partners. But it's a pity that the bloodline that these two demons did their best to keep was finally cut off. ”

At the end of this long list of stories, Wang Jiu finally got a little interested.

"Why?"

Zhao Shenlu pursed his lips and showed a mocking smile that was very ill-intentioned.

"Because their descendants can't find a partner."
