Chapter 741 Active and Passive
Receive gifts on the front foot and receive a knife on the back foot. This is the situation Zhang Xuezhou faces.
This kind of slap in the face has happened frequently recently, which made Zhang Xuezhou feel ominous.
This is a premonition that fortune tellers often have, but it actually happened in his life.
It is even difficult for him to go through this difficult time.
Reasoning with demons is undoubtedly a very difficult thing.
It is more difficult to change the inherent concept of a demon than to pull an ox to plow the field.
"Let's do this. You tell me who sent you to kill me. I will go back with you and talk to the other party." Zhang Xuezhou thought to himself, "If he is the venerable of the Yiji River Holy Land, I will talk to him." You also have a personal relationship, Daojun should be able to testify for me!"
"You are getting more and more boastful. One moment, Dao Lord, one moment, I am my elder brother. I have never heard that there is a person like you in Luzhou, Beiju, who can control all three holy places!"
Everyone Zhang Xuezhou said is the owner of the Holy Land.
But Jiufeng Demon King has never heard of anyone in Beiju Luzhou who is so popular and can make many holy land owners familiar with him and give him face.
Although he likes to extort benefits, he is not a demon king who makes fun of his own head.
If there is such a character, Jiufeng Demon King feels that no matter how high the price is, he will never let him take on such a hot job.
“Don’t even want me to tell you who gave me the treasure and asked me to kill you.” Jiu Feng Demon King said, “No matter what, I, Jiu Feng, have some morals and will not betray my employer!”
"You... Is it expensive for him to ask you to kill my treasure?"
It was obviously difficult for the Nine Wind Demon King to solve the problem with just one mouth. Zhang Xuezhou thought for a few seconds before continuing to ask.
"Inquiring into this matter should not violate your morals" Zhang Xuezhou asked sincerely: "He can give you this kind of treasure, which means that he has nothing to do with it. Even if I know the treasure, I I can’t guess the owner of the treasure!”
“What you said makes sense!”
Jiu Feng Demon King thought for a moment and felt that it would not matter if this matter was revealed.
"Let's put it this way, Your Majesty has a valuable treasure. That treasure can not only prolong life, but also heal serious injuries." The Nine Wind Demon King said: "He just gave me a little of that treasure!"
"Could it be that you are talking about Scrophulariaceae?"
"You also know Scrophulariaceae, it seems that you really have something to do with it!"
Jiu Feng Demon King looked slightly embarrassed, feeling sorry for Zhang Xuezhou in his heart The relationship has a little more recognition.
Zhang Xuezhou’s face was stunned.
He thought he could make a rough judgment and know who in the Holy Land wanted Hong Ku's life, but he didn't expect that the person behind the Nine Wind Demon King didn't give him any room to trace.
If we want to trace the source, we must find the Holy Land of Evil Luoschuan.
But ordinary people have no qualifications to communicate with Your Majesty at all, so naturally they cannot ask, let alone investigate.
“Of course I know about Scrophulariaceae. Demon King Feiyu gave me a Scrophulariaceae tablet twelve days ago, and then refined a pill for me to take, which allowed me to survive by chance. It is not difficult to verify these things. If you go to Xieluochuan and ask You will know as soon as you ask," Zhang Xuezhou said: "And I have also seen the Scrophulariaceae planted by Your Majesty at Duzun Peak, and I also know Lu Baibai who takes care of the Scrophulariaceae!"
Some things are rumored in the Holy Land! , everyone knows more or less.
And there are some things that not even the Nine Wind Demon King knows about.
He had previously allowed Zhang Xuezhou to quibble and chose not to believe anything. After all, Zhang Xuezhou's testimony did not count.
But after comparing it again, Jiufeng Demon King discovered that the relationship between the other party was terrifyingly hard.
Before he got the Scrophulariaceae, the other party said that he had already eaten it.
“Does Scrophulariaceae really have the effect of preserving life?” asked the Nine Wind Demon King.
“If you want to rely on eating a piece of Scrophulariaceae... you have been injured by Shi Gong Buddha and your vitality has not yet recovered. Do you want to hang your life on Scrophulariaceae?”
"You know this kind of thing?"
The Nine Wind Demon King was horrified.
If the other party took the hair of Jiuling Yuan Sheng, he would treat it as if he had picked it up, or he might have made Jiu Ling Yuan Sheng achieve hair removal through some kind of curse.
It is bragging that the other party recognizes Daojun, and the same is true for recognizing the Lord.
When the origin of Scrophulariaceae was revealed and the Demon King was involved, Jiufeng Demon King already felt bad.
When he told him about his heels and physical symptoms, Jiufeng Demon King felt that he almost stomped his feet and jumped up.
"Who are you?" Jiufeng Demon King whispered: "That person said you are a fortune teller, do you really know how to calculate everything?"
"You only know a little bit. It’s just a trail!”
Zhang Xuezhou wanted to use this to open up the topic of treatment and try to maintain peace with the Nine Wind Demon King, but he found that the Nine Wind Demon King seemed to pay more attention to the physiognomist, and even With a look of fear and hope. This made him not a weakling when facing the Nine Wind Demon King, but gradually began to have the possibility of equality.
Hei Ye hid all his facial expressions, but the demonic light in the eyes of the Nine Wind Demon King flickered back and forth, and he was obviously full of contradictions in his heart.
"You want to ask me how to cure your injury?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"You..."
The Nine Wind Demon King is both afraid and happy. What he is afraid of is that the fortune teller does have the power to reach heaven and earth, and killing the opponent will inevitably lead to all kinds of troubles.
The Jiufeng Demon King's happiness is also related to this. Instead of asking for medicine everywhere, the fortune teller in front of him may be able to point him to a clear path.
Carrying two knives, he struggled back and forth between professional ethics and seeking a more accurate way to survive.
“You want to get the answer from me, but you don’t like the reputation of your own actions?”
Zhang Xuezhou asked the question again, which made the Nine Wind Demon King subconsciously nod his head, and said no more. As decisive as before.
“Killing me is an important thing, but you have to figure out one thing.” Zhang Xuezhou corrected the other party: “The person he asked you to kill was Hong Ku, and I was just the replacement who was captured by Hong Ku. !”
“You want me to let you go?” asked the Nine Wind Demon King.
"No." Zhang Xuezhou shook his head repeatedly and said: "I just want you to know clearly that if you kill me, you have failed to complete the assigned task correctly. If you don't kill me, it is not a violation of the promise you made before. After all, your task is to kill Hong Ku. Instead of killing me!”
"Are you really not Hongku?"
"As long as you have a little more patience, you should be able to wait until the real Hongku returns to the Holy Land of Yijihe River, and my destination is to go to the Han Dynasty!"
Zhang Xuezhou pointed in the direction in which he was running to escape.
“The person who entrusted me with the task said that Hongku was riding the black and white horses of Lord White Bones...”
"Since he knows that I am riding the black and white horses of Lord White Bone, he must know that I still have the six Dingyang Stones of Lord Black Mountain on me!"
"He didn't say that!"
< br> "You can take these six Dingyang Stones to deal with the mission." Zhang Xuezhou said sincerely: "It doesn't matter if you say that I escaped or that I was beaten to ashes and annihilated. You don't even need to say that you gave him this thing. Understand my life and death!"
"This goes against the morality of my work!"
"I am just a misjudged target. He is seeking revenge against Venerable Hongku. It doesn’t matter whether you kill me or not.” Zhang Xuezhou said: “I let you complete the task, and I can also show you a clear way to heal your injuries. This is better than having your injuries worsen and die!”
"Am I going to die of illness?"
The eyes of the Nine Wind Demon King changed back and forth.
When Zhang Xuezhou touched the bag, six fist-sized Ding Yang stones were taken out and thrown out. He subconsciously caught these formation heavy stones.
Compared to life and death, his morality is indeed not that important.
And Zhang Xuezhou has repeatedly stated that he is not Hongku. If there is really a problem with the other party's identity, there is a problem with his mission itself.
"I just changed my appearance, not my whole body. Look at my body!"
When Zhang Xuezhou took off his clothes, he was no longer an old body in the eyes of the Nine Wind Demon King. It was the young man's delicate body that made him finally choose to believe it.
If Zhang Xuezhou activates his magic power, it is extremely easy for him to misjudge that he is going to cast a curse, and the risk of conflict will ignite at the first moment.
When the two sides exchanged more than ten sentences and he hesitated, the other party chose to show up and testify candidly.
The body in front of me obviously cannot be Hong Ku.
Although the other person's hair is gray and his face is old, his physical age does not lie.
The Nine Wind Demon King reached out and touched it, but Zhang Xuezhou did not choose to resist.
This allowed both sides to begin to calm down.
“The person I’m chasing in the mission is wrong. If I don’t kill him, it won’t violate my morals!” Jiufeng Demon King murmured.
"Killing the wrong talent goes against your professional ethics," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"You are right!"
The concept of the demon clan is difficult to change.
Many things Zhang Xuezhou said are not as good as the last sentence of wrongful killing.
As long as the Nine Wind Demon King believes that he is not Hongku, the matter can be solved correctly.
In the Nine Wind Demon King's knowledge, Zhang Xuezhou has the possibility of knowing how to cure his illness, which even made him abandon his identity as an active pursuer and gradually turned into a passive seeker for advice. .
