Chapter 1837 Closing the Door

Chapter 1837 Door
slam!
Mei Siren stood up suddenly, knocked over the wooden bench, and pointed at Xu Xiaoshou, who was oozing with demonic energy:

“What’s wrong with him?”

Beside the wooden door, the eight statues were still leaning there, motionless.

Kong Yuhen was helpless: “Something happened, he is haunted by evil spirits, he has been targeted, as expected…”

He also looked at the Eight Zun’an, shrugged, and spread his hands, saying everything.

If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?
I have already said that this time is not suitable for a direct confrontation with the Demon Ancestor. Do you really think Xu Xiaoshou can escape?
“What happened?”

Mei Siren became anxious. Ba and Kong could see it, but he couldn’t.

He hated himself for being incompetent, like a blind man, and he also hated himself for being incompetent and unable to even help Xu Xiaoshou.

Kong Yuhen’s attainments in the way of time were obviously much higher than those of anyone present.

With a wave of his hand, a picture of time and space appeared in front of the three people.

In the picture, Xu Xiaoshou is sitting on a cushion, pious and respectful. The divine light of the stone statue of the Holy Ancestor is blooming, and it continuously bestows balls of light.

“This is……”

Mei Siren looked at this extremely harmonious picture and got nothing but good feelings, without a single evil thought in his mind.

Good thing!

It looked like a great thing!
The Holy Ancestor was so kind, and Xu Xiaoshou was so cute, just like a good teacher and a good student in the classroom…

“No, wasn’t he meeting the Demon Ancestor?” Mei Siren suddenly woke up.

With another wipe of his hand, the picture of time and space changed.

The stone statue of the Holy Ancestor turned into a black stone sculpture with a demonic aura. Xu Xiaoshou took, took, and took again with a flattering look on his face and in an unsightly manner…

“Demon Ancestor is above!”

“Demon Ancestor bless you!”

“Mozu, you are a good ancestor…”

Mei Siren was dumbfounded.

The picture is more harmonious. After all, this is what suits Xu Xiaoshou.

But the bad thing was that as time went on, the more Xu Xiaoshou took, the more demonic energy seeped out of Xu Xiaoshou, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

“Is it related?” Mei Siren keenly noticed something.

“Of course it is related.” Kong Yuhen nodded, “How can you take the things of the Demon Ancestor for free? Even if you think you can resist the temptation at the beginning, you will eventually sink under his bewitching magic sound.”

The title of Demon Ancestor certainly contains the word “Ancestor” in it, but to put it bluntly, its essence is the obsession and inner demons of the Holy Ancestor.

It might be more accurate to describe it as a “devil”.

The way of the Holy Ancestor created the current world of spiritual refining, which represents divinity and holiness.

The Demon Ancestor, who was transformed by his obsession and inner demons, is naturally the source of all evil in the spiritual world and the embodiment of all extreme desires.

“Guide…”

Mei Siren knew the instructions, so he was naturally worried that the more Xu Xiaoshou took, the deeper he would fall into trouble.

In the end, one might even be guided and assimilated by the devil’s desires and become a pawn of the Demon Ancestor.

But there’s no use getting anxious.

Mei Siren knew his own limitations and could not interfere with Xu Xiaoshou’s actions in the long river of time. He turned his attention to the eight masters…

Instead, I calmed down!

If the final outcome is really as he imagined, why are the Eight Lords so calm and composed?

This is exactly what Kong Yuhen is also confused about.

Ba Zun’an said he would protect Xu Xiaoshou, but now he stood by and watched without stopping. Was he also guided by the Demon Ancestor?
Two eyes fell on him. Ba Zun’an knew he had to speak up. He asked:
“Who is the best at guidance in this world?”

Mei Siren was startled for a moment, then lowered his head, as if thinking about something.

Among all the things in the world today, the one with the strongest guiding power is the Blood World Pearl.

Among the cultivators of the Tao today, the one who has achieved the highest level of guidance is the Seven Trees Emperor, also known as the Spirit of the Blood Tree.

The scope of these thoughts is below that of the Ten Ancestors.

The Blood World Pearl and the Blood Tree were both used by Sui Yin in their previous lives. Therefore, if we talk about who is the best at guidance in the world today, even if all ten ancestors are tied up, it is undoubtedly Sui Yin!

Ba Zun An spoke slowly: “Sui Yin is good at guidance, but when dealing with Xu Xiaoshou, he rarely used guidance, and mostly used magic. Why?”

Mei Siren suddenly realized.

He also communicated with Xu Xiaoshou about the matter of God’s relics.

Xu Xiaoshou could even resist the guidance of Suyin. The guidance of the Demon Ancestor was certainly strong, so how could Xu Xiaoshou be affected?
“The Great Way of Transcendence…”

Mei Siren murmured, knowing that Xu Xiaoshou could resist the guidance of anyone among the Ten Ancestors just by relying on this method.

He immediately understood why Ba Zun’an did not stop it but chose to watch the show from the side.

He also smiled and turned his gaze towards Kong Yuhen.

My old student is so good, I am afraid you are surprised, right?
Kong Yuhen shook his head: “The guidance of the Demon Ancestor is certainly not as good as that of the Suyin. During the period of the God’s Relics, the Suyin was just beginning to revive. There is no blood in the world pearl, no blood in the tree, not to mention that the Demon Ancestor is not good at guidance, but is good at corrupting people’s hearts.”

That’s right!
Mei Siren nodded and turned his gaze to the eight masters.

Ba Zun An was too lazy to argue with Kong Yuhen and said calmly: “People’s hearts are easy to change, but they are also the hardest to change. If Xu Xiaoshou could be corrupted so easily, there would be no need for him to continue to cultivate his Tao.”

…

“hey-hey……”

Xu Xiaoshou smiled foolishly.

His path is indeed both good and evil. As long as the general direction is not wrong, he has always been a “not fussy” person in the process.

Look, after just a short while of not paying attention to trivial matters, he already has two more ancestral god destiny pieces and a true tablet of the origin: Heaven.

Theoretically, the three divine objects are enough for him to create three ancestral gods.

The generosity of the Demon Ancestor is astonishing. Xu Xiaoshou dares to say that no one in the world is as generous as him.

“Good ancestor, good ancestor!”

Since they were so generous, why not just smile and praise them?
Privately, Xu Xiaoshou knew it well.

What the Demon Ancestor can give are things that have been eliminated by him.

If these things fall into the hands of others, they can certainly become a fatal temptation, and people are willing to die for them.

After all, Mr. Gu spent half his life just trying to achieve the status of a semi-saint, but he was unable to achieve his wish until his death.

Xu Xiaoshou likes these things. He has a bit of a collecting habit, but he also looks down on them.

He will not make a contract with the ancestral god.

Among these three items, the only one that is somewhat useful is the True Tablet of Origin.

He was also interested in the incarnation of the Heavenly Ancestor. After all, he was still a descendant of the Heavenly Ancestor.

If I become the Heavenly Ancestor, He will definitely agree, right?

But the Demon Ancestor said he wanted to cooperate, and in the end he only gave him an incarnation of the Heavenly Ancestor that cannot be realized at present. On the surface, it seemed that he had gained a lot, but in fact, he had nothing.

You can’t fool me, Xu Xiaoshou, like this!

“The third wish…”

Xu Xiaoshou frowned and thought, but in the end he couldn’t figure it out, so he just said with a confused look on his face:

“It is difficult for a person to identify his true heart during his lifetime. I have obtained the destiny of the ancestor god and the true tablet of the origin, but I still feel unsatisfied. However, if I really think about it, I still don’t know what I want. I wonder if the Holy Ancestor can give me some guidance?”

The Demon Ancestor is in charge, and the demonic energy is sinister.

Only someone with a face thicker than a city wall can call out “Holy Ancestor”.

Greed has no end.

The ultimate greed is naturally not that I want something and you satisfy me.

It’s that I can’t think of what I want, but you can still give me what I want and that satisfies me.

This is the greatest sincerity in seeking cooperation!
Of course, whether there will be cooperation in the end is another matter…

Xu Xiaoshou knew both himself and the Demon Ancestor inside out, and knew that the things he gave were not well-intentioned.

But to say that we completely reject the Demon Ancestor would be a bit absolute.

If he could control the devil and subdue the evil spirit, and arrest the Medicine Ancestor, and protect his junior sister until she could escape from this situation, Xu Xiaoshou would not mind taking the risk.

He often does similar things.

He later learned a lot about the way of checks and balances from Dao Qiongcang.

“The lost little lamb…”

The Demon Ancestor closed his eyes slightly, as if thinking, and murmured softly as he returned to the stone statue, completely merging with it.

The stone statue became more vivid.

But the brand of the word “囧” on his chest suddenly disappeared.

Xu Xiaoshou watched these changes and remained pious and respectful, as if he didn’t see anything unusual.

“Saucy old Taoist, who on earth are you…”

It can be clearly perceived that the mark of the word “囧” cannot be seen based on the Demon Ancestor’s intention alone.

Perhaps this is why the Demon Ancestor would seek to cooperate with others even though he is clearly two in one.

His condition seemed good.

Compared with Suyin, it may have the advantage of having a stronger foundation.

“Little lost lamb.” The Demon Ancestor in the stone statue seemed to have finished thinking and finally spoke, “Even if you don’t know what you want, I will give you three choices: best, middle, and worst. You can choose one to fulfill your wish.”

Only children make choices!

Xu Xiaoshou’s eyes lit up: “Holy Ancestor, I choose both.”

“Choose one of three.” The statue said firmly.

“I know what my wish is. My last wish is to get all of the three options, not just one of them.” Xu Xiaoshou insisted.

“Choose one of three!”

“All right.”

Hearing that unquestionable tone, Xu Xiaoshou also realized that he was too greedy, “Then tell me which three specifically, so I can choose.”

The Demon Ancestor did not say it explicitly, but only said: “The lower part is the material, the middle part is the way, and the upper part is the secret. If you choose one of the three, the price you need to pay is different.”

cost?

Xu Xiaoshou was stunned. There was no such thing before. “Wishes require a price?”

“All wishes are essentially equal exchanges.”

“Then I don’t want it.” Xu Xiaoshou decided to quit while he was ahead, and planned to leave with the Ancestral God’s Fate and the Origin Tablet.

The stone statue of the Demon Ancestor was unexpectedly unmoved.

It seemed that even if it ended at this moment, it would not matter to Him who had given His fate and destiny in vain.

Don’t tell me!
If this was a tactic of playing hard to get, Xu Xiaoshou was a little tempted to be fooled. He suddenly became curious about what the price was.

“No……”

“Don’t look back…”

The deal with the devil is a step-by-step fall.

Xu Xiaoshou knew who he was talking to and who he was doing business with. He had a scale in his heart and knew that there were some bottom lines that must not be crossed.

He walked to the entrance of the palace, suddenly stopped, turned around and grinned:
“You are really amazing, Demon Ancestor, you actually know that my bottom line is low enough!”

…

“Why did you suddenly disappear?”

In the Ancient and Modern Forget-Your-Sorrows Tower, Mei Siren pointed at the time and space picture that suddenly blurred. This time he was really panicked.

At the critical moment, Kong Yuhen was not shown?
Even the final choice made by Xu Xiaoshou was not shown. It is hard to justify that this was not intentional.

Considering how he had done everything he could to get Xu Xiaoshou to step into the long river of time, under the pretext of finding the time node where Zhan Zu was, he ended up cooking the person and feeding him to Mo Zu…

“So they are working together, right?”

Mei Siren’s eyes opened and closed, his gaze flickered, as he looked towards the eight masters.

What he meant was that this was the end, Kong Yuhen had to be beaten up and Xu Xiaoshou had to be brought back.

If this continues, the two or even three parties may really tear each other apart and fight to the death!
“It wasn’t me.” Kong Yuhen naturally noticed that the atmosphere was wrong at the first time and pointed at the time and space screen:

“Xu Xiaoshou has already fallen.”

“If he is not willing and actively cooperates, the Demon Ancestor alone cannot blur my time and space picture in the long river of time.”

This is said lightly, but it is also very arrogant.

Ba Zun’an didn’t care. He pondered for a moment, looked at Mei Siren, and finally said the same thing:

“Let’s take another look.”

…

“What on earth is this three-choice thing that needs to be discussed behind closed doors?”

Xu Xiaoshou could naturally clearly realize that the scene he was seeing here could be seen by Kong Yuhen over there.

Of course he also knew the consequences of closing the door.

It was nothing more than that after he returned, even if he had not made any deal with the Demon Ancestor, in the eyes of outsiders, something had already happened between them.

But just as Xu Xiaoshou believed in Ba Zun’an.

He also firmly believed that Ba Zunan had watched him grow like this all the way and would not give up on him easily after meeting the Demon Ancestor.

Trust is mutual.

The Demon Ancestor wanted to sow discord, or even interfere in the relationship between him and the Eight Lords, but he thought it was easy – this relationship was too rigid, there was no way for him to get in!

“Choose one of the three. Pick it.”

A face with a subtle smile slowly appeared on the stone statue of the Demon Ancestor, as if everything before was just a prelude, performed for others, and this moment was the key.

“The price, please tell me clearly.”

Since they chose to talk behind closed doors, Xu Xiaoshou stopped pretending and stopped saying “Holy Ancestor” all the time.

Trading is OK.

To be frank, both parties are essentially equal, so I will not respect you.

“The prices are different for high, middle and low levels.”

“I say, explain it clearly!” Xu Xiaoshou gave him a bad look, “Everything!”

The Demon Ancestor seemed a little surprised and became more interested in this lost little lamb who suddenly became tough.

He originally intended not to speak, but now chose to speak:

“The next best option is to sign a Demon Ancestor Contract with me and serve me for five hundred years. After five hundred years, I will return you to freedom.”

Is this a price?
Isn’t this price a bit too harsh?
Xu Xiaoshou was so angry that he laughed: “I have been in the industry for only two years. It takes me five hundred years to meet you? Five hundred years, I can beat five hundred of you!”

The Demon Ancestor smiled but said nothing.

Xu Xiaoshou also laughed harmlessly: “What can I get if I give you five hundred years, Master Demon Ancestor?”

“You will gain divine and demonic power. When you cultivate to the end, you can at least be deified and called an ancestor, and reach the level I am at now.”

“Skip it.” Xu Xiaoshou’s smile faded away, and he was not interested in these things at all. “What is the middle? What is the middle? It won’t take me a thousand or ten thousand years, right?”

The price is the same for the next choice.

In fact, in the middle and the end, Xu Xiaoshou didn’t want to listen anymore.

He already knew the Demon Ancestor’s intention, which was to close the door, say a few words to fool people, and create a rift between himself and the Eight Lords after he went out. Then his goal would be achieved.

The Demon Ancestor’s subtle smile at this moment really had some of the meaning of a devil’s smile, but his thoughts and concerns were completely different from Xu Xiaoshou’s. He said:

“The best choice, equal exchange.”

“I can tell you the way of ‘two in one’. When you have made enough contributions, I will also tell you the way of ‘one back to zero’.”

Just as Xu Xiaoshou was about to open his mouth to mock him, “You are just a one, you know nothing about zeroing down to zero,” the Demon Ancestor chuckled and interrupted him,
“Don’t doubt what I am saying now.”

“Xu Xiaoshou, if you miss this opportunity, I will not mention this matter again in the future.”

He just opened his mouth when the Demon Ancestor continued to speak, interrupting him: “For this, I can also tell you a secret, as an advance payment.”

The last two words with an emphasis on tone made Xu Xiaoshou stunned. He didn’t understand what He meant.

Just pay in advance, what’s wrong with that?

It would be a waste if you don’t want it…Xu Xiaoshou sneered: “Speak.”

“Ten ancestors, ten ancestral god destinies, have you ever thought about why there is an extra priest-slayer Ran Ming, and why the ancestral god destinies were obtained by you?” The Demon Ancestor asked instead of answering.

“speak!”

“Because Shi Zu does not have the fate of an ancestor god, his existence is zero.”

Xu Xiaoshou was stunned.

The matter was serious, beyond his understanding.

He was a little unclear whether the Demon Ancestor was joking or telling the truth.

“Keep talking!”

“The path to zero is in the fate of the ten great ancestral gods. If you choose the ‘middle choice’ and complete the two-in-one, this ancestor will be responsible for gathering the ten great fates for you and help you return to zero.”

Wow!

You are so generous, Brother Mozu!
You gave me such a big secret for free?

Xu Xiaoshou didn’t take it seriously and responded with a chuckle: “What about me? What do I need to pay for this, and what do you want to get from me?”

“Equivalent exchange…”

The Demon Ancestor had a calm expression, with only the corners of his eyes and mouth showing a slight smile from beginning to end: “You will be responsible for collecting all the remaining hatreds in the long river of time for me. After confirming that there is nothing missing, you should hand them all over to me.”
