Chapter 32: Strength and Weakness
The little monster Xu Shengjie didn't know how long he had fainted, and when he woke up, he saw Li Hong's face full of murder.
Xu Shengjie was frightened, and the meager arrogance he had cultivated in the past ten years disappeared in an instant, and in a blink of an eye, he turned back into the little monster who was good at flattery. With a roll of his eyes, he had a general idea of the situation in front of him. "I survived because of those last words...... This person wants to know the relationship between the sect leader and [Wushan]......"
"I'm going to make good use of that...... I can't die ......"
Still thinking nonsense, he suddenly heard someone shouting angrily, 'Not yet?', Xu Shengjie immediately turned over and got up, stumbling to the place where the sound came from.
When they saw it, in addition to the young monk and the beautiful female monk from before, there were two more women beside them, and a young man with a somewhat infatuated face.
Li Hong didn't kill Xu Shengjie, not only because of Xu Shengjie's last words before he fainted, but also because there was a strange flame-shaped pattern on the little monster's forehead.
Li Hong became interested in Xu Shengjie, not only because he could speak well, but he tried to enter the sea of knowledge of the little monster to investigate, but was blocked by the flame, although his spell was still brave and took out a lot of useful information, but the flame that can block his spell must have a lot to do with the leader of the Body God Sect, so Li Hong decided to leave Xu Shengjie in order to fight with the sect leader.
Li Hong looked at Xu Shengjie, his face was expressionless, and he said coldly: "Do you know why you are still alive?"
Xu Shengjie's head kept clicking like pounding garlic: "What the immortal wants to know, even if he tells him, the little one must know everything." ”
Li Hong suddenly smiled, although the information hidden in the sea of little monsters was vague and unclear, but his immediate thoughts were clearly seen by himself. Li Hong's experience is the best way to understand a truth: on some occasions, it is better not to ask questions directly, but it is often better to ask them in reverse, sideways, or even around the corner.
When Xu Shengjie saw Li Hongxiao, he was even more frightened, trembling all over, but he didn't know what to say.
After waiting for a few breaths, Li Hong asked, "Are you loyal to the Sect Master of the Body God Sect or the [Holy Fire Sect]?"
Xu Shengjie thought for a moment and replied cautiously: "Before meeting the immortals, he was naturally loyal...... It's hard to say right now......"
"Oh? Why?"
"Because the first I want to live, and the second after seeing the demeanor of the immortals, the villain immediately admires it, and the previous sect leader is like the difference between mud and clouds compared to the immortals...... "Xu Shengjie's usual style of speaking is frank and sycophant, so the first half is the truth, and the second half is against his heart."
Li Hongyi raised his hand: "Come here!"
Xu Shengjie was covered in cold sweat, but he didn't dare not go, he walked closer with trepidation, and was about to kneel down again, but he was knocked down by Li Hong's palm, and his whole body was like an electric shock, and he was in pain.
But it didn't last long, and after only a few moments, the sensation of the electric shock disappeared. I heard Li Hong say: "Since you want to live and admire me, then I will give you a chance to be my entourage in the future." I have just placed a [Loyalty Talisman] in your body, but whenever you say a lie or have the slightest dissent, the charm will be activated immediately, like an electric shock. Remember, this talisman can only be used twelve times of electric shock, if it exceeds this limit, the talisman will burst immediately, and what will happen to you, I don't need to say it!"
Xu Shengjie was so distressed when he heard this, he sighed one after another that his luck was not good! and in his heart, he scolded the demon king who had detained him for a bloody. However, fear is fear, Xu Shengjie still wants to try the power of this talisman, a total of twelve times, how can he know if it is true or false if he doesn't try?
Li Hong's spell couldn't break Xu Shengjie's sea of knowledge, so it was impossible for him to really attack automatically. Li Hong's move was naturally to deceive Xu Shengjie as a deterrent. Since it's a shock, you have to let this little monster know that it's powerful. Li Hong glanced at Duanmu Youlan beside him, and signaled that he was going to teach the little monster a lesson now.
The tacit understanding between Duanmu Youlan and Li Hong became deeper and deeper, and she smiled faintly at the moment, and she asked questions.
"Where are you from?"
"Returning to the fairy, the villain was born in [Wudao Plain]"
"Oh?" Duanmu Youlan didn't say the next word, and an electric shock immediately slapped on Xu Shengjie's body. Xu Shengjie screamed and fainted again.
By the time the little monster woke up again, the surrounding scene had changed drastically, and there were seven more Taoist priests around him, three of whom were wearing the same robes, and the other four were wearing the same robes.
"You've already wasted a talisman, it seems that you don't know how to tell the truth yet!" Li Hong was still expressionless, looking unfathomable.
Xu Shengjie's face turned pale, and he didn't know how he triggered the talisman. It was Duanmu Youlan who gave him a hint: "Are you really from [Wudao Yuan]?"
Xu Shengjie immediately broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, he was indeed not from [Wudaoyuan], and it was only more than a hundred years ago that he mixed into [Wudaoyuan], but he loved vanity and constantly hypnotized himself, and as a result, he subconsciously regarded himself as a monster born and raised in [Wudaoyuan].
"A lie that I didn't even realize myself, this spell can recognize?" Xu Shengjie was really startled.
"Let me ask you again, why did the Body God Sect change its name to the Holy Fire Sect?" this time it was Li Hong's question.
"I don't know. ”
"Then why did you join the Body God Cult?"
"The little ones want to achieve a great cause, they want to soar, the demon kings in the [Wudao Yuan] don't have this ambition and strength, only the Divine Sect is determined to be in the world!"
"What a 'ambition in the world'! is to incite mortals to make trouble?" Li Hong sneered.
Xu Shengjie thought about it and didn't know whether to answer truthfully, but after hesitating for a moment, he still said the sect leader's original words: "The sect leader said that the problem of the Dao Sect is that the eyes are high and the hands are low, and they always only look at the sky. But it is difficult to climb to the sky, and it is easy to step on the ground, rather than pursuing the ascension of nine deaths and a lifetime, it is better to manage the world well...... The mortals that the Daomen look down on have infinite potential that we can't imagine......" After Xu Shengjie finished speaking, he glanced at Li Hong and the Taoist priests behind him, and no one seemed to be angry, so he added: "Although I don't completely agree, but since mortals worship me as a god, I have no opinion......"
Whoo Qin couldn't help but say: "Mortals even worship a little monster like you, blind and ignorant, if you don't practice and don't seek truth, what potential do you have?"
Xu Shengjie replied again: "The sect leader said, 'Blindness can be pure, and pure is power. Mortals worship all beings who are stronger than them, whether they are 108,000 miles stronger or only a little stronger. The sect leader also said, 'The Daomen will only conquer the strong, but they don't know how to entrap the weak, but the weak will not always be weak, and the strong will not be strong forever......
When Li Hong heard this, he was silent, and the image of the Sect Leader of the Body God Sect that he wanted to know became more plump in his mind.
