26. Punishment and Reward
Since the senior brother gave him the two sets of books "The Art of War" and "Martial Arts" hidden in the second-floor academy, Jiang Ruyun has completely changed his opinion of the senior brother Gong Yi'an.
Before, Gong Yi'an always looked high, when the master was not in Wanlingtang, he was the acting hall master, acting for Wanlingtang for all internal and external affairs, busy, but not close. Of course, this is not the most important thing, because most of the things in Wanling Hall have nothing to do with Jiang Ruyun, and the most important thing is that Jiang Ruyun has not been protected by him.
When Jiang Ruyun was diligent in reading, he didn't have any words of encouragement; when Jiang Ruyun was shivering from the cold, he didn't see that as a senior brother, he took out a thick coat and quilt to visit him; and when Jiang Ruyun was in trouble, he completely agreed with Mo Ziyu and others to punish him, and he didn't leave the slightest affection under his hands, he was beaten when he should be beaten, punished and punished, and even suspected of being an accomplice, and directly drove Jiang Ruyun out of the Taoist temple without the slightest mercy.
But this time it's a little different. Ignoring the obstruction of the sixth senior brother, he lent him the two sets of books "The Art of War" and "Martial Arts" hidden in the second-floor academy without hesitation, just this one move, in Jiang Ruyun's eyes, the senior brother completely changed into a different person. What's more, with the two sets of books "The Art of War" and "Martial Arts", Jiang Ruyun's life has opened up an unprecedented field. Moreover, through this battle against the demon queen, Jiang Ruyun used the skills he just learned to be able to fight against the thousand-year-old demon queen, which was simply something that Jiang Ruyun couldn't even think of!
The grace of dripping water is already full of overflowing pools in Jiang Zhiyun's heart.
Jiang Ruyun staggered to his feet and said, "I've seen Senior Brother!" Jiang Ruyun can fight with the Demon Queen with a non-demon body, Jiang Ruyun died without regrets, this matter can't succeed without the help of Senior Brother, Senior Brother is very gracious, Jiang Ruyun is unforgettable!"
Jiang Ruyun's words came from the bottom of his heart. At this moment, Jiang Ruyun regarded Gong Yi'an as equal to the Venerable Dian Wei, as important, if the Venerable Venerable Dian Wei gave him a key, then Gong Yi'an opened a door for him, so that he could change from an ignorant state to another Jiang Ruyun, isn't this kind thought a great favor to Jiang Ruyun who has no father, no mother, and no master care?
Gong Yi'an was taken aback.
He immediately stepped forward and helped Jiang Ruyun up: "Senior brother can't! Senior brother can't afford such a big gift! Come, sit down quickly, sit down quickly." ”
Jiang Ruyun sat down on the bed, Gong Yi'an himself sat down, looked at Jiang Ruyun carefully, and said, "Senior brother seems to be recovering well. The junior brother said that I helped the junior brother defeat the demon queen, but I was so ashamed! Although I also had hundreds of years of Taoism at that time, I could only arrest the demon queen with my hands...... After defeating the demon this time, the junior brother saved not only the senior brothers of the Ten Thousand Souls Hall, but also a little bit of the Venerable Master, the Demon Lord of the Ten Palaces! Speaking of which, I don't want you to thank me, but all of us should thank you!"
Feng Minghua echoed: "Yes, Senior Brother Nine, you are asleep these days, you may not know that the Demon Lord of the Ten Halls has already discussed, in the future, the Ten Demon Clans, when they see you, they will all have to call you 'Lord Demon Spirit', even the mounts of the Demon Lords, you can use them as you like, if you fancy any one, it will not hurt to give it to you!" Feng Minghua's voice was very high-eyebrowed, and it looked as if the title given by the Demon Lord was given to him.
"Yes! That's what it means. Gong Yi'an also nodded and smiled.
"Demon Spirit?...... My lord?" Jiang Zhiyun was taken aback.
It's a "demon spirit"!
Jiang Ruyun has heard of it, in the Demon Domain, the title of "Demon Spirit" is not an ordinary title, only those who have made extremely significant contributions to the Demon Race in the Demon Domain can obtain this title, and the reason is because the person who has been awarded this title represents the entire Demon Clan with his gestures!
In addition, in order to obtain this title, you also have to serve the public, that is, the Ten Hall Demon Lords and the Imperial Capital must agree, and if the Ten Hall Demon Lords agree, it is simply more difficult than ascending to the sky, these Demon Lords will quarrel endlessly over trivial matters on weekdays, how can they reach an agreement on issues related to status? And the title of "Demon Spirit" is higher than the title of the Demon Lord!
In addition to the status issue, the "Demon Spirit" will have another power given by the Demon Lord of the Ten Palaces, that is, the real power of the "Demon Spirit", and he will have the power to call all the resources of the Demon Clan! This right is not only the right to use materials, wealth, and troops, if there is a major external matter that needs to be obeyed by the Demon Lord, the Demon Lord must also obey the order!
This means that the demon spirit has become the supreme power holder of the demon race!
And the 6,000-year history of the demon clan in the demon domain has a history of more than 6,000 years, and no more than two people have been awarded this title! Those two people who have been awarded the title of "Demon Spirit" are one who obtained the title in the Hundred Years War against the Demon Queen, and the other is the title of Demon Spirit obtained in the process of establishing a vassal relationship with the Northern Jin Empire.
These two people are crucial to the survival of the demon race, and he Jiang Ruyun only injured the demon queen Ju Ronghua, so he got this title, which ...... Is it a pipe dream?
You know, Jiang Ruyun himself doesn't even have magic power!
Jiang Ruyun didn't say anything for a long time.
"Senior brother, don't doubt it, Minghua, take out the joint edict of the Ten Hall Demon Lords, let the ninth junior brother take a look, and he will understand. Words may be false, things will not be false. ”
Feng Minghua had already presented the edict, unfolded it in front of Jiang Ruyun, and placed it in front of him. Jiang Ruyun touched the edict and looked at it carefully, it was indeed true, it was the edict of the Demon Lord, and it was the seal of the Demon Lord of the Ten Palaces. The signature of the Venerable Master's handwriting is also impressively listed, he is an envoy of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and naturally this handwritten letter also has official effect. There are the imprints of the Ten Hall Demon Lord and the Venerable Master, and this thing can't be faked even if it wants to.
After looking at it for a while, Jiang Ruyun suddenly remembered something, raised his head and asked, "Senior brother, there is something I have to explain to you, the Venerable Master said that after I recover from my injuries, he will take me to the imperial capital with those demon disciples he selected, what is going on?...... Does the church know about this?"
Gong Yi'an nodded slightly and said the reason.
In fact, the Venerable Master had already arrived in the Demon Domain two months ago.
He didn't visit Wanling Hall for two months because Dianwei had another thing on his hands, that is, to select the demon gentleman brother he liked in the demon clan, so that he could take it to the imperial capital and send it to Xiaoyunling Academy.
It would obviously cause unnecessary trouble to let everyone know that he had already come, so he began to prepare for this before he appeared in public.
There are two main points of inspection, one is qualification, and the other is character. Qualifications ensure that this person's future development will not be limited to their own ability and cannot be improved, and character ensures that after this person is cultivated in the future, he will not be a demon who will bring disaster to the country and the people.
But Jiang Ruyun was thinking about these two points. On that day, what the Venerable Master was talking about was not to screen the future pillars of the Demon Race, but to "punish"!
Gong Yi'an laughed when he heard this: "This is just the words of the demon queen, why do you just listen to it like this? The words can be said positively, or they can be said in reverse, whether it is a punishment or a reward, that can only be known after it is implemented, before it is done, everything is just empty words and white teeth, why are you confused in this matter?"
Jiang Ruyun woke up like a dream and said with a smile: "So that's the case, junior brother is stupid." ”
However, Jiang Ruyun secretly asked in his heart: "Is this really the case?"
After chatting for a while, the senior brother left, and before leaving, he instructed the senior brothers outside the door to take care of Jiang Ruyun, and everyone happily applauded.
