The atmosphere in the valley was a little oppressive.
Li Changshou looked at the figures in front of him and felt that he was facing a bloody history of the human race.
The Great Daoist Master was sitting by the river and grilling fish. Ling 'e and Youqin Genya stood behind Li Changshou. At that moment, they frowned and looked at the hundreds of figures standing by the river.
Those figures could not be considered living beings.
There were no auras fluctuations on their bodies. Their eyes were lifeless and motionless, as if they were statues.
However, they were indeed living beings.
At that moment, they were still alive. Most of them had more or less injuries on their bodies. Half of them were missing limbs. There seemed to be a sleeping ferocious beast hidden under the ancient armor.
"Senior Brother, they are …"
"Human."
Master Xuandu stood up with the grilled fish in his hand. He smiled and gestured. A man and a woman walked out of the hundred-odd people.
The man was nearly ten feet tall, and his entire body was covered in dark muscles. The armor on his body seemed to have fused with his body.
The woman was a little petite and exquisite. There was a scar on her cheek, but the feeling she gave off was still gentle.
The two of them raised their right hands and placed them on their hearts. They knelt on one knee and said in unison,
"Greetings, Lord."
Behind them, the hundred-odd figures stood quietly. They were indeed more like clay sculptures.
Ling 'e subconsciously hid behind Li Changshou. Youqin Genya stared at those figures and was a little lost in thought.
"Ah …"
The Great Daoist Master sighed. "It's a little troublesome to communicate with them. I spent a few months talking to each of them once.
They are all willing to return to the Primordial World to listen to your orders and kill the demons who escaped in ancient times.
Junior Brother, use them well. "
Li Changshou remained silent, which was abnormal.
Ling 'e asked softly, "Senior Great Daoist Master, where did these seniors come from?"
"Xuandu City." The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, "In ancient times, the war in Xuandu City was once tense. The Human Emperor sent this group of soldiers to assist in the defense of Xuandu City.
Now that the situation in Xuandu City was stable, the Dao soldiers were enough to protect it.
They are also bored there. They might as well go back to the Primordial World to fight the demons. "
"I can handle the demons today," said Li Changshou. "Senior Brother, let these seniors return to Xuandu City to recuperate."
"Yes," the man and woman answered with their heads bowed. They stood up and walked back to the line, standing as still as before.
Master Xuandu asked curiously,
"Why? Do you know how strong they are?
Although there were only one hundred and eight of them, they were all human elites who had survived since the ancient times.
Back then, the strongest army of the Human Race that defeated the Demon Court and broke the Heavenly Cycle Formation was their predecessor. "
Li Changshou smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Martial Brother, how can I order them around?"
"So that's what you're worried about. Come over and take a seat." Master Xuandu smiled and greeted, "Commanders, please come over."
At that moment, the group of people sat beside the bonfire. Ling 'e volunteered to take the wooden stick that was used to roast fish. Youqin Genya went to the stream to catch more spiritual fish.
The man and the woman sat upright and still, their eyebrows lowered and their eyes drooping.
Li Changshou sat opposite the two of them and casually changed the topic.
"Senior Brother, what kind of war can there be in Xuandu City?"
Master Xuandu said slowly, "It's a small matter. It's just some otherworldly demons wandering around the Chaos Sea.
When the world was created, some Connate Godfiends who escaped from the Pangu God's Axe also created some living beings.
Most of these living beings were murderous and coveted the Primordial World. Fortunately, the power of the Heavenly Dao enveloped the trichiliocosm of the Primordial World, preventing them from invading.
However, the Heavenly Dao is incomplete. It is impossible for there to be no loopholes. Therefore, the Dao Ancestor took action back then and established Xuandu City. He took the initiative to expose the loopholes in the Heavenly Dao and used Xuandu City to block the path of those living beings to enter the Primordial World.
At the end of the ancient Great Magi-Demon War, both the Magi and demons were injured. The power of living beings in the world fell to the lowest point. The operation of the Heavenly Dao was affected. The otherworldly demons caused trouble and Xuandu City was lively for a while … "
Ling 'e praised softly, "There are really otherworldly demons."
"Tsk." The Great Daoist Master shook his head. "Those fellows don't look stable. They're very ugly. They're not as handsome as your senior brother."
Ling 'e smiled and said, "That can't be compared."
"Hahaha." Li Changshou laughed and looked at the two commanders. He took out a tea set from his sleeve and brewed six cups of tea. He used his immortal power to carry them to the few of them.
"Senior, please."
"Thank you," the tall man said in a low voice. Beneath his long hair, his square face was calm.
The woman held the hot tea with both hands and lowered her head to take a sip. Her gaze changed slightly.
"It's delicious."
"It's good that you like it, Senior," Li Changshou said warmly.
The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, "Junior Brother, do you know why the two of them are commanders?
Actually, it's not because of their strength, but because only the two of them can still communicate with others normally. They have retained their emotions and desires. They are not much different from us.
However, the two of them are also the most miserable …
Communicate with them more. "
Li Changshou nodded slowly. He naturally knew that the Great Daoist Master was persuading him to leave that power behind.
At that moment, he hesitated and remained silent again.
Ling 'e once again acted as a little expert to liven up the atmosphere. She asked softly, "Great Daoist Master, are these seniors from the ancient human race?"
"Yes." Master Xuandu's gaze was a little distant. He held his teacup and looked at the clouds in the sky.
They sat on a rock that was not tall and listened to the Great Daoist Master tell the story of the past …
"The human race was created by the Goddess Nuwa. They were born with a Connate Dao Body. They were born weak and good at cultivation. They were similar to the Dao.
At that time, the human race was just one of the ten thousand races in the world. Due to Nuwa becoming a Saint, most of the races avoided the human race, allowing the human race to reproduce and live. The human race's footprints were all over the plains and mountains of the South Continent.
However, disaster followed.
Due to the fact that the souls of the human race were similar to the Dao, the Demon Master, Kun Peng, offered it to the East Emperor Taiyi. He used the soul of the human race to refine a secret treasure. In order to completely defeat the Magi, the demons began to massacre the human race, capture their souls, and refine the Magi-Slaying Divine Weapons.
The human race was killed to the point that not a single one of them survived. The demons still refused to stop and wanted to kill them all … "
The history of the human race began to become blurry. It seemed that the later generations of the human race had deliberately blurred the story there.
The Great Daoist Master was a witness and participant in history. He knew the whole picture.
"… Although Teacher and the Goddess Nuwa joined forces and protected the last human race, the human race has already written their hatred in their bones."
Master Xuandu said calmly, "The humans who survived the calamity hated the demons to the extreme.
"After the calamity, the humans who survived hated the demons to the extreme. They risked everything to increase their cultivation, even deviating from the right path of cultivation, turning themselves into demons.
Although the Saint had taken action to protect the human race, the human race was at its weakest at that time. The demons were afraid of leaving behind a calamity and wanted to get rid of the humans quickly …
That was the most difficult period for the human race. That's why they existed. "
Li Changshou said, "A hundred thousand Demon Soldiers broke through the sky."
Lan Ling 'e pursed her lips and carefully handed a grilled fish to the female commander who was closest to her.
"Senior …"
The latter shook her head gently and smiled at Ling'E. She continued to sit upright.
The Great Daoist Master casually took the roasted fish and smiled. "Give it to me. Don't waste it."
Ling'E hurriedly handed the roasted fish over.
Youqin Genya asked, "A hundred thousand Demon Soldiers … Can you tell me in detail?"
Li Changshou sighed and explained, "Entering the Demonic Dao is to turn one's obsession into the Dao Realm.
They can obtain the Dao Realm in a short period of time and obtain the improvement of the Dao Realm in a short period of time. However, it is very easy for one's Dao heart to collapse and lose control.
In order to obtain power in a short period of time and not let themselves lose control, these seniors first became demons and used secret techniques to increase their Dao Realm. Then, they severed their Dao hearts and sealed their emotions and senses, cutting off all perception of the outside world.
They locked their souls in their bodies and only used special secret techniques to distinguish between enemies and allies. They transformed into Demon Soldiers and obeyed the orders of the Human Emperor to protect the human race. "
The Great Daoist Master clicked his tongue in wonder. "As expected of my junior brother. You even know such secrets!"
"I've read about this on a piece of sheepskin …"
Li Changshou sighed and said, "I originally thought that it was just a rumor. However, after I went to the Fire Cloud Cave to visit the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and learned about Senior Suiren, I realized that the human Demon Soldiers really exist.
The lifespans of mortals are too short. The Primordial World is too long. Too much history has been lost in the long years … "
"Junior Brother, do you know that after the Demon Court was destroyed, there were only 3,623 of them left?"
Master Xuandu said, "I brought them to Xuandu City. After so many years, those with limited lifespans have already passed away.
The remaining ones …
Junior Brother, bring them to kill demons.
Letting them escape from the battlefield with dignity is the best thing we can do for them. "
Li Changshou asked, "Senior Brother, is there no way to help them recover their senses?"
The Great Daoist Master frowned and said, "That would be too cruel to them."
"If we don't ask them, how do we know what they are thinking?"
Li Changshou pondered for a while. His eyes flickered. At that moment, he had an idea.
"They are the heroes of the ancient human race. They should not fight in the current era.
Senior Brother, I'll bring them to Anshui City and see if I can help them regain their emotions and desires in a hundred years.
If they want to be free, they don't have to be sad on the battlefield. They can't lack the dignity and respect that the ancestors of the human race should have.
They have protected the human race until today. They can't still stand in front of the human race today …
I don't think that makes sense. "
The Great Daoist Master looked surprised. He asked curiously, "You've thought of a solution just like that?"
"I have some ideas …"
Li Changshou said two words. The Great Daoist Master was stunned at first. Then, he clapped and laughed. He praised Li Changshou for being smart.
Ling 'e blinked …
Little Grief?
Why do I feel that I don't understand my senior brother enough?
…
When the two teachers and brothers were discussing that matter, the two commanders of the Demon Soldiers remained silent.
However, they looked at Li Changshou with gratitude in their eyes.
Seeing that Li Changshou had no intention of using the hundred-odd ancient humans to fight, the Great Daoist Master did not persuade him.
Speaking of which, the Great Daoist Master was a little depressed.
He personally went to Xuandu City and "invited" the 108 ancient human Demon Soldiers back. Not only did he not manage to become Li Changshou's "demon-fighting divine weapons", but he also found more work for Li Changshou …
As his senior brother, the Great Daoist Master felt a little embarrassed.
Hence, the Great Daoist Master took the initiative to ask about the demons' rebellion against the heavens. If the Celestial Court was too pressured, he, as an old man, would take action and interfere …
Li Changshou reported his current "battle results" truthfully. The Great Daoist Master laughed.
On the other hand, Ling 'e and Youqin Genya had strange expressions when they heard about the various methods of the Celestial Court.
Ling 'e naturally felt a little disdainful. After all, the methods of the Toilet Temple were too dirty in various senses …
Youqin Genya said, "What does marriage have to do with the battle? The demons deserve to die. We'll just defeat them fair and square.
Isn't that too unscrupulous? "
Li Changshou and the Great Daoist Master looked at each other and laughed.
The Great Daoist Master said, "Sometimes, unscrupulous means are not derogatory."
"Junior Sister Youqin," Li Changshou said seriously. "In the Celestial Court, 90% of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals are humans. Today, the human race is the main body in the world. The Celestial Court can also be considered a Celestial Court that protects the human race.
I don't care about the life and death of these demons who openly oppose the heavens, let alone their marriage.
Effectively reducing the enemy's strength, dissolving the enemy's morale, and increasing the enemy's internal conflicts are to protect our own Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.
Of course, I do not hate those who are kind to the human race. There are also people who are full of evil among the human race. However, the demons who are rebelling against the heavens have really been persecuted by the Celestial Court?
The Celestial Court has only been established for a few years. These demons who are rebelling against the heavens only feel threatened and are afraid.
The Celestial Court is supported because the Heavenly Dao is fair. The Celestial Court acts according to the Heavenly Dao. The stronger the Celestial Court is, the sooner the evil and good in the world will reach balance. "
Youqin Genya fell into deep thought.
Ling 'e muttered softly, "Senior Brother, Senior Sister Youqin is not criticizing you. Don't be angry …"
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Don't worry. Do you think I don't know Junior Sister Youqin's personality? The Celestial Court needs a talent like Junior Sister Youqin. "
Ling 'e pursed her lips slightly. She was still calling him Genya just now!
"Yes." Youqin Genya lowered her head and answered. However, she did not let go of her insistence on that matter.
The Great Daoist Master watched quietly from the side and thought of something. His smile did not stop.
If Junior Sister Yun Xiao were to join the discussion, he wondered what would happen …
Li Changshou was worried about the "expert" behind the demons. While the Great Daoist Master was there, he asked directly,
"Senior Brother, I keep feeling that someone is guiding Lu Ya behind the scenes."
It's not that I can't stand Lu Ya.
I just feel that if Daoist Lu Ya has such foresight, the demons would definitely not be in their current state. "
"It's a small matter. Let me calculate."
The Great Daoist Master pinched his fingers and deduced. Soon, he exclaimed softly.
Li Changshou hurriedly asked, "Red Hydrangea?"
"It's not the Goddess who did it. The other party actually has the ability to erase the heavenly secrets!"
The Great Daoist Master squinted slightly and raised his hand to invite the Taiji Painting over. He held it in his palm and closed his eyes to focus.
This time, he spent a full moment. The Dao runes of the Taiji Painting kept circulating …
Finally, the Great Daoist Master said softly,
"Bai Ze."
Li Changshou was slightly stunned. Then, he looked enlightened. "No wonder. So it's this ancient demon general.
A demon general who can survive the Great Magi-Demon War is definitely not easy to deal with!
Senior Brother, we can't let this Bai Ze live.
Senior Brother, can I trouble you to get rid of this Bai Ze as soon as possible? If he helps Lu Ya again, the Celestial Court will be in trouble. "
"Alright," the Great Daoist Master said. "I didn't expect Bai Ze to take the initiative to enter the calamity this time.
I'll go and find trouble with him now!
However, Bai Ze is also considered a Connate Auspicious Beast. He has the ability to seek luck and avoid calamity. I'll have to spend some effort and time. "
Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, "Perhaps I can use his mystical ability to seek luck and avoid calamity to reverse Yin and Yang and lure him into a trap."
"Oh? Interesting. Tell me in detail. "
At that moment, the senior and junior brothers began to study … a hundred ways to persecute auspicious beasts by the bonfire by the river.
A hundred ways were naturally an exaggeration. Li Changshou only provided the Great Daoist Master with seven or eight ideas. According to the Great Daoist Master's understanding of Bai Ze, he found a few possible weaknesses of Bai Ze.
For example, auspicious beasts that were good at deduction and had intrinsic mystical abilities to protect their lives had always been smooth sailing. They might believe too much in their own thoughts.
He discussed with Li Changshou from noon until dusk. The Great Daoist Master could not wait to meet Bai Ze. He brought two grilled fish to eat on the way and broke the universe and disappeared.
Before the Great Daoist Master left, he left two jade talismans for Li Changshou. They recorded the method to refine Demonic Weapons.
In order to let Li Changshou find the method to restore the seven emotions and six senses of the Demonic Soldiers.
In front of Ling 'e and Genya, Li Changshou took out a paper effigy. The paper effigy rode a cloud and left with the 108 puppet-like Demonic Soldiers.
They did not say a word during the entire process. At that moment, they only recognized Li Changshou's orders.
What kind of terrifying power was that?
Their cultivation level was the starting point of longevity. They were absolutely obedient and did not know what fear and retreat were. They were good at joint attacks and used their immortal powers in the most reasonable manner. Moreover, they each had several numinous treasures …
The Great Daoist Master had handed them over to Li Changshou to command because he wanted them to perish together with the experts of the demon race in the North Continent and give the Demonic Soldiers a home.
That thought was not wrong, but Li Changshou was more inclined to let them make their own choices …
Now that the human race was in a peaceful era, the Celestial Court was enough to suppress the demons. Why did they need the spirits of the human race to be heroic?
I believe they also want to see how magnificent the prosperity that they have risked their lives for is …
Li Changshou thought about the placement of the Demonic Soldiers again and again. He decided to bring them to Anshui City and let them live in the mortal world for a while.
He was prepared to think of a way to try when the situation of the demons at the border of the North Continent was more stable.
He did not know if the Lady of Earth's Seven Emotions Resonance could help them return to normal …
However, before Li Changshou could arrive at Anshui City with the Demonic Soldiers, Ling 'e rushed to the Pill Chamber. She held a jade token that was wrapped in more than ten layers of immortal power in her hand.
"Senior Brother!
Someone at the sect sent this jade token. The disciples of the sect said! "
Li Changshou shifted his attention back and asked, "What did they say?"
"It was left behind by a Daoist who calls himself Ze Bai. He said that he wanted to give it to you, Senior Brother!"
Li Changshou was stunned.
Ze Bai … Bai Ze?
If it was really him, the ancient demon general could not be left alive!
