Chapter 1: The Devil's Contract
"Practice Qi and be inferior, martial arts talent is inferior"
Listening to the evaluation, Zhou Zheng stood a little straighter. The palace was eerie and terrifying, and Zhou Zheng was very timid, but he had to come to this most terrifying place in the world. It's like being a son, the son of a prince. The conditions are good, but the martial arts are still not yet introduced. In fact, he wants to become an immortal the most, because he can live forever. But he's going to die, because today he's going to exchange with the 'demon' for the talent to improve his qi.
The 'demon' here only accepts souls, and he doesn't want to be alone at all, but loneliness has become his friend.
Looking around, I only felt that the demons on the murals around the palace were laughing at me. The hands in the white sleeves were clenched into fists, and their faces were not shown. These demonic ridicules are easier to face than the private discussions of the people.
"I'm here to improve my Qi cultivation talent, and everything I have in me can be exchanged for it. Zhou Zheng said as he looked at a pitch-black statue in the center of the hall
"Very well, you give your soul, and I will give you the talent to improve. Now you drip your own blood into the magic pool. A voice came from the black statue
Zhou An walked towards a black pool in the center of the hall, took out a dagger and cut off his left index finger. Blood dripped into the pool, and there was only a black lotus flower in the pool.
"Now any of you who want this food can start competing. The statue's cold voice said
The hall was silent, and no one answered.
"Seventy-two, didn't you say you couldn't hold on?"
"Boss, his talent is too poor, although his soul power is strong, but his strength is too slow. I don't want it, I can still hold it. ”
"Thirty-five, what about you," the statue's voice was a little gloomy
"Boss, I don't know anything about Qi training, he's not suitable for me. A voice came from a statue in the middle of the left wall
"Yes, the boss can't find the Tao except for a strong soul
At one time, dozens of voices spoke, and Zhou Zheng heard them speak for a variety of reasons.
......
Outside the palace, two people were waiting.
A man of about forty years old, dressed in a green shirt and with a righteous face. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old man, dressed in a moonlight brocade robe, holding a jade pendant, had a calm face.
"Fourth son, the third son has been in for a long time, there won't be any accidents, right?" the middle-aged man asked anxiously
The jade-holding man said calmly: "This place is sealed by the gods, and they have no choice except for the demons of our clan. ”
"However, if this matter is known to the second son. We can't escape punishment, the third prince is already cowardly, let him go to deal with the devil!"
The face of the man holding the jade changed slightly: "Doctor Wen, my father has been trapped in the royal city for three years, and my grandmother and mother are very worried. The divine envoy promised to persuade the king to let his father come back, which was a condition set by the divine envoy, and a concubine of the Zhou clan was needed to enter the demon. I was blessed by the gods and couldn't fall into demons, and my other younger brothers were still young. The second brother wants to be in charge of the family, so he can only go to Zhou An. ”
A squeaky sound was heard, and the door to the main hall opened.
Zhou Yu still remembers that scene many years later, the timid Zhou Zheng walked out of the demon hall, and then closed the door as if he had come to his own house.
Zhou walked out as usual, without glancing at the two people in front of him. Walking into the distance, the two breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the skeleton on Zhou Zheng's forehead.
The palace was built in a cave, and when the horses were far away, a huge mountain appeared above the plain. The mountain is white, like a man's hand.
Looking at the figure in front of him, Dr. Wen's heart was mixed. The third prince is very kind, but the public waiting family is too kind and suffers from disasters.
I don't know, what conditions did the fourth prince use to make the third son give up his life willingly.
......
Xihou Mansion, martial arts training ground.
Two figures were erected, and Zhou Zheng looked at his nominal brother in front of him, and his breath continued to rise. Running forward and punching, the boy with a beautiful jade hanging on his waist blocked.
"Third brother, when you arrive at the royal city. I will put Yun Xiaoniang's spiritual position in the ancestral hall, and I swear in the name of Zhou Yu. ”
"Zhou Yu, as an elder brother today, I will teach you the 'Zhou Fist' tricks again. Zhou An said in a deep voice
"Tapping"
Zhou An jumped forward and slammed his right fist into Zhou Yu's chest.
A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Zhou Yu's mouth, which flew out upside down, and his six-foot body turned and stood straight.
Looking at the desperate teenager in the distance, Dr. Wen was a little sad. Without seeing behind him, a general in armor appeared.
"Doctor Wen still has time to sigh for a long time, the lord has been in the royal city for three years. As the head of Xirong's civil servants, he came up with some ideas. ”
Doctor Wen looked at the people around him and said, "Three days later, the third prince and I will go to the royal city to present gifts to the king. With the third prince staying in the royal city, I have already bought off the favored ministers of the court. General Simon, I'm going to bother you to send an army to escort you. ”
"Is the third prince coming back as a hostage for the lord?
"The third son, I have already signed a contract with the demon......"
“...... It's unbelievable......"
An hour later
Zhou Yu fell to the ground, and Zhou An was already blue and swollen.
Walked up to Zhou Yu and kicked him in the ass.
"This kick is to return your mother for bullying my mother. ”
Seeing that Zhou Yu didn't fight back, Zhou An didn't stop moving, but just kicked his ass every time.
"This kick is to return those concubines, relying on the identity of the concubine to bully people. ”
"This kick is to be returned to me, as a younger brother, you calculate your own brother. ”
Half an hour later, Zhou Zheng fell to the ground. Zhou Yu, who had already fainted, had a blue and purple face on his face. At this time, two servants appeared and took the two sons away.
Zhou An, who was lying on the bed, closed his eyes and felt a little lonely, his mother had passed away for nine years. The master has been dead for three years, and I hope they will be in peace under the nine springs.
Squeak, the door was opened. A subordinate appeared in front of him, watching the subordinate who did not know whether he was alive or dead holding the last vase. Zhou An was a little funny, and everyone in the entire Hou Mansion looked down on him. In the past, in order to hide the clumsiness, the identity of the immortal cultivator was not revealed, but the old servant became more and more bold.
"Third son, there is no way for the villain not to bully you, the matter of taking care of the ninth lady in the past has always been hated by other ladies. The children of the villain can't get good errands, and you adults have a lot of them. This is the last time, this bottle of essence pill was bought by my own savings, and my wife used to be very good to me, so I should repay it. The old servant said with a bottle of elixir on the ground.
"Take everything away, 'get out' and don't let me see you again. ”
calmed down, Zhou An was a little aggrieved. A waiting house is so big, and there is not even a person who treats me sincerely.
Hou Ye has been detained for three years, mother, your child has signed a contract with the 'demon'. This time I will come back in exchange for the person you love, and I will not be able to come back.
The master said let me take his sword back to 'Kunlun', but where is it? It always makes me guess, but I can't guess it.
Cross your body and meditate up, and practice Qi consistently. Originally, I thought that if the master was gone, it would be wasted. I didn't expect it to be integrated into life, and I always felt uncomfortable if I didn't practice qi for a day.
Thinking of the matter of the Heart Demon Temple, an injured 'demon' will not kill himself anytime soon. There should be a way to suppress it in Wangcheng, and I heard that some immortals have done it. As the most prosperous place, the news of the royal city is definitely better than the spirit of Xijon.
Zhou An, who was just meditating with his eyes closed, didn't see a faint figure appear in front of him. The so-called heart demon contract is naturally the same mind.
