Chapter 1838: Shocking Change
Chapter 1838: The shocking change
gave me ten ancestral god destinies. Knowing my path of two-in-one and returning to zero, I am guaranteed to be an ancestral god.
The final goal
is to just get all the remaining hatred? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey, Brother Mozu, or is the remaining hatred more important than the fate of the ten ancestral gods combined?
Xu Xiaoshou was a little confused about this question, so he asked, “What is the empty hatred?”
“This is another price.” The Demon Ancestor did not answer.
“Will you tell me or not?!” Xu Xiaoshou was really ready to turn around and leave.
He was serious now.
What the Demon Ancestor said was beyond his understanding.
He felt that he had fallen into a trap. No matter which choice he made, he would definitely suffer a loss. It was impossible that the Demon Ancestor was really a great ancestor and chose to suffer a loss for himself, right?
“Empty hatred is the Time Ancestor?”
Seeing that the Demon Ancestor remained silent for a long time, Xu Xiaoshou couldn’t help but ask.
He admitted that his appetite had been whetted. He could have just left, but it would have been unpleasant.
The Demon Ancestor nodded.
Xu Xiaoshou was surprised, but thought to himself, as expected.
The Demon Ancestor continued to shake his head.
Xu Xiaoshou immediately felt that this guy had the same character as Dao Qiongcang, and scolded him: “If you want to fart, just let it out. Don’t hold it in at the last step, or you’ll hurt yourself!”
The Demon Ancestor paid no attention to the obscene words of the lost little lamb and chuckled, “I can’t bear to mislead you, let alone deceive you.”
That’s true!
Xu Xiaoshou was amused.
Just like what this guy said before, there is not a single lie.
He didn’t wait any longer and turned around to push the door and leave. He had chosen all of the three options before, but now he chose none of them, because just the additional information from the Demon Ancestor made his trip worthwhile.
“Are you really leaving?”
The Demon Ancestor’s smiling face was still fixed on the stone statue, lingering without dispersing.
He was so good at fishing that he allowed Xu Xiaoshou to push open the door of the stone hall and cut through the barrier constructed by the power of the Holy Ancestor. At the moment when his figure was about to disappear, he slowly spoke:
“I am left with only empty hatred, and you are also trapped…”
Xu Xiaoshou stopped suddenly. He was very familiar with these words. They were the unfinished words of Tianzu on the Void Island.
He then spent a long time with Kong Yuhen and Ba Zun’an, but could not figure it out.
After all, they are all descendants, and they don’t know what happened in Tianzu’s era and what kind of relationship there was between him and Kong Yuhen of that era.
I am afraid that no one in the world can answer this question.
But the Holy Ancestor is the number one ancestor in the world and has lived the longest. If he wants to know, he may really know what happened later and fill in the half of the unfinished sentence.
Xu Xiaoshou took a deep breath and turned around with difficulty.
He said nothing, but stared at the hideous face on the stone statue of the Demon Ancestor with burning eyes.
He made up his mind that as long as the Demon Ancestor said even a word of nonsense… no, even the word “waste”, he would just leave.
After all, whatever comes out of His mouth may be false.
This time, the Demon Ancestor did not stop, but sighed quietly:
“You are left with only empty hatred, and you are also trapped in this mountain.”
Mountain?
Xu Xiaoshou held back his pace to return to the stone hall and asked from a distance, “Mountain, what is that?”
“A mountain is a mountain.”
With a snap, Xu Xiaoshou turned around and left.
Bye bye, go play charades with the air. I’ll introduce you to a friend when I have the chance!
Who would have thought that the words of the Demon Ancestor would echo faintly from behind:
“Mountains can also represent hatred, love, unwillingness, fanaticism, the prejudices of the human heart, and the myriad avenues of truth.”
After a pause, and after countless high-pitched and intense images flashed by, the words of the Demon Ancestor returned to calm, and the illusions around him disappeared.
“But a mountain is still a mountain. It cannot be moved, it cannot be crossed, it cannot be climbed.”
Xu Xiaoshou’s feet felt like they were filled with lead, as if he was being pressed down by a mountain in his heart.
People have seven emotions and six desires, so they have mountains. It is impossible to truly disregard gods and Buddhas. At most, it is only relative.
But if we seek the truth to the end, if we empty out and destroy this “mountain”, are we still human beings?
“Xu Xiaoshou, this is my greatest sincerity.”
“There is only so much I can say about Shi Zu. You have to figure out the rest yourself. There is no point in saying more.”
The words of the Demon Ancestor rang softly in his ears, and Xu Xiaoshou subconsciously took a step and returned to the stone hall.
He suddenly woke up, it was the devil’s voice that was bewitching him.
But he did not choose to stop. He followed the magic sound back to the hall, leaned against the door of the hall, and said lightly,
“I want to have nothing but hatred.”
“What?” The Demon Ancestor was surprised and didn’t understand what Xu Xiaoshou said.
“I say!” Xu Xiaoshou said in a heavier tone, “Since this is an equal exchange, I will also help you collect the fate of the ten great ancestral gods and make you return to zero. As a deal, you will help me collect all the remaining hatreds in the long river of time, and after confirming that there is nothing missing, hand it over to me.”
The only regret left is that I am not the ancestor of time.
But if all the remaining hatreds in the long river of time were gathered together, would they be equal to the Time Ancestor?
Xu Xiaoshou stared at the face of the Demon Ancestor with his eyes slightly closed, not missing any subtle changes in his facial expressions.
The Demon Ancestor thought for a moment and said with a smile:
“Can.”
This is tantamount to implicitly acknowledging that all remaining hatreds are equal to the fate of the ten ancestral gods, plus two in one, and one back to zero.
Or even beyond that?
But the Demon Ancestor had his own thoughts. He thought he could accept this “lack” and then get it back from himself from somewhere else?
“So, you choose ‘medium’?”
The Demon Ancestor smiled, and this time his smile was so sincere, lacking the mysteriousness that he had deliberately pretended before.
Xu Xiaoshou had been holding it in until now, and when the Demon Ancestor couldn’t help himself, he turned it on and off in seconds and used the “Mind Deprivation”.
‘A wise choice.’
He heard more than just this clear voice.
There were also various obscure thoughts that flashed through the Demon Ancestor’s consciousness at that moment.
Consciousness is difficult to express clearly.
In the past, Xu Xiaoshou had rarely used “Mind Deprivation” and was not proficient in its use. But now, using it with the Yi Dao disk, he has learned to summarize:
‘The choice of equal exchange is indeed a fatal temptation that any ascetic cannot refuse.’
‘Compared to the essence of the Great Dao given by the Demon Ancestor, the freedom that ambitious people like the Eight Lords seek is nothing compared to the great one.’
‘Is this the reason why the Demon Ancestor was so sure that he would trade with him and eventually give up the Eight Lords?’
Such thoughts were like smoke and fog, and could not be expressed in straightforward words. When the “mind deprivation” was finally cut off, Xu Xiaoshou vaguely heard a sarcastic voice in his heart:
“Playing house…”
Indeed, looking at the Holy Slaves and the Holy Temple from the height of the Demon Ancestor is like playing house.
When He was planning the Ten Ancestors and the Time Ancestor, the Eight Zun’an, Kui Leihan and others were either holy slaves or imprisoned themselves, and they were still looking for a way to “return to zero” directly.
Little do they know that this approach simply doesn’t work.
The Demon Ancestor said “mountain”. In his eyes, he was the mountain, and all the people under the mountain, including the Eight Lords and Xu Xiaoshou…
This mountain cannot be moved, cannot be climbed, and is unreachable!
“You have a lot of clever tricks and some tricks.”
The Demon Ancestor could no longer laugh. As sensitive as he was, he knew immediately what Xu Xiaoshou had done behind his back.
But He did not pursue the matter, and said generously: “But because of this, you can be more certain that what I just said is not false, so tell me your answer.”
“No!”
Xu Xiaoshou smiled but shook his head firmly.
He never mentioned the mind reading just now, and just laughed it off, generously letting himself off: “It’s just the middle choice, I’m a greedy person, I also want to hear the best choice.”
“superior……”
The Demon Ancestor had given a choice earlier, but now he was not very willing to talk about it. It was obvious that he was leaning towards a fair trade in the middle:
“Go ahead, you don’t want to hear it.”
“Whether you are happy or not, look at me, not you. You are not a fish, so how can you know the joy of a fish?” Xu Xiaoshou smiled and shook his head, “Let’s talk about the price first.”
The next best option is five hundred years.
The best choice is a fair trade.
If you look at it this way, Xu Xiaoshou feels that by doing this, he might be able to get it for free, and he likes getting it for free.
“The price is just a promise from you.”
“What promise?”
“Responsible.”
“?”
Xu Xiaoshou was stunned for a moment. If you continue to chat like this, I will misunderstand you!
“Brother Mozu, you’d better explain it clearly. Some things are not suitable to be ambiguous…”
“Shang, for the sake of secret, this ancestor will tell you a secret.”
“What secret?”
“After listening, it means that the selection is complete. The middle and lower choices will disappear. Of course, after listening to the secrets, it also means that you have entered the ‘responsible’ stage.” The Demon Ancestor smiled, “Did you listen?”
“…”
Xu Xiaoshou was silent for a moment.
I have to say that from the beginning till now, the Demon Ancestor has not behaved like a devil, but more like a fair contractor.
Although, the content of the contract He gave was indeed a bit like that of the devil.
“How to be responsible, what kind of promises, can you at least tell me the price first?” Xu Xiaoshou said.
“You can understand it as a favor.”
The Demon Ancestor condensed into an image, gracefully fell to the ground, and returned to his plain and simple state. He actually spoke in a tone of equal communication, slowly saying:
“At any time, any place, anyone, when this Ancestor needs you, you must take action once.”
Xu Xiaoshou subconsciously wanted to refuse, as there were too many traps in this statement.
The Demon Ancestor said, “I won’t let you be embarrassed, I won’t let you make a choice, and I won’t let you cross the bottom line.”
“…”
Xu Xiaoshou fell silent again. Doesn’t this mean that he can use these three reasons to directly refuse at any time?
Isn’t that equivalent to freeloading?
But in this world, are there really pies falling from the sky, or are they thrown by the Demon Ancestor?
Free things are the most expensive.
Xu Xiaoshou has always understood this truth.
This did not stop him from making his choice, and he became even more curious: “Any hints?”
Xu Xiaoshou was so greedy that he even laughed at himself. “Just like the additional information just now, the top choice also has one or two additional ones?”
After listening to the additional content, I will leave!
I will not choose any of the following: low, medium, or high.
The main purpose is to get something for free. I will leave after I have taken all the wool from you. I will come back and kill and eat the mutton when I become stronger.
But the Demon Ancestor didn’t seem to mind being taken advantage of by Xu Xiaoshou from beginning to end.
This time, He stared straight at the lost little lamb in front of him. He slowly stretched out his hand, bent a finger, tapped the side of his head, and said quietly:
“Everyone has secrets…”
…
“Crack!”
The former site of Guizhe.
The ghost Buddha’s forehead suddenly spurted out blood, as if it had been cracked by someone’s fingers.
“laugh……”
Hot blood gushed out, producing heat in the heavy snow. At the same time, a “puff” sound was heard, burning it all away.
The ghost Buddha was shocked.
Wound repair.
It was abnormal just now, like an illusion, but in fact nothing happened.
…
A small town at the foot of Qingyuan Mountain.
Quilehan in the blacksmith shop suddenly stood up, grabbed his cloak, and stepped quickly into the snow.
“You stay in the shop and watch. I’m going out for a while. If something happens, call your uncle. If he doesn’t save you, I’ll kill him.”
Bang!
The sledgehammer fell to the ground.
Cao Erzhu’s heart sank, and he shouted at the tiny black shadow outside the door, “Dad, where are you going?”
The snow was howling heavily and no reply could be heard.
The wind was howling and Cao Erzhu rushed out of the shop. He felt that every tree and grass was an enemy. He actually had a palpitating feeling that the whole world was watching him.
“Eye……”
I couldn’t see anything, but it seemed as if countless pairs of eyes had grown in the sky and on the ground, and were staring at me in all directions.
——It looks like it wants to eat me!
“Dad!”
Cao Erzhu shouted loudly, thunder exploded under his feet, and he was about to rush towards his father.
At this moment, a clear voice came from the corner of the street outside the shop, as if suppressing some emotion:
“…Luo Shitou.”
Cao Erzhu stopped suddenly.
It’s impossible for outsiders to know my nickname!
This is something he has used since he was a child to deal with strangers. Apart from his father and himself, there is no way that anyone else could know about it!
“who?”
Cao Erzhu turned his head away.
But the person I saw was not any stranger I had seen before, and certainly not an acquaintance.
It was a little girl in white, very pretty, and looked…
The face looks familiar?
Cao Erzhu couldn’t remember where he had seen her before, “Who are you?”
The girl came over, looked in the direction where her father disappeared, and asked instead of answering, “Where is he going?”
Usually in this situation, Cao Erzhu would go back to the shop and lock the door.
But he felt surprisingly close to this girl. He was always very good at judging people. He could tell a good person from a bad person, or someone like the immortal Mei, at a glance.
He walked forward, looked down at the little girl who was not even as tall as his chest, looked familiar and friendly, and said in a deep voice:
“He is my father.”
Now, he is no longer afraid of anyone or any unexpected situation, let alone someone knowing that he is the son of Quilehan. What will Quilehan do?
She doesn’t seem to have any ill intentions…
“Is he going to find someone?”
The girl in white didn’t care about Cao Erzhu’s irrelevant answer. She had a little hope in her eyes: “Did he tell you that he was looking for someone who is about my age and looks a bit like me…”
“What do you want to say?”
The girl paused and looked up at him: “Is he going to find me?”
After hearing this, Cao Erzhu was overwhelmed. Why did my father go to find you? This was too weird. And where did you come from?
If you feel something.
Cao Erzhu turned his head and looked towards the street.
In the distance stood a slender figure in red. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a man. He waved and said hello:
“Hello, little brother, you are so strong~”
Cao Erzhu’s scalp tingled and he stared at the little girl in front of him, “Who are you?”
The girl in white had disappointment in her eyes and walked past him, but hesitated and did not go into the blacksmith shop.
She sighed in disappointment, turned around and went back to the man in the red dress and left.
But the man in the red skirt walked a few steps, suddenly turned around, waved and shouted:
“Hey! Luo Shitou! You don’t even have any impression of ‘Luolelei’?”
