Chapter 19: Poison

For Zhao Shenlu's lawlessness, the Holy Sect Sect Master was really convinced.

The prestige of the Holy Sect is supreme in the entire Xiangzhou territory, and when it comes to the Holy Sect, even the devil who does all kinds of evil must restrain his madness and remain silent.

Only here is Zhao Shenlu, the Holy Sect seems to be just a joke from beginning to end. Since the first day the sect master and Zhao Shenlu met, he didn't get the slightest bit of respect from her. At the beginning, the sect master himself was still happy with Zhao Shenlu's madness of daring to break all boundaries, believing that if a person with this kind of heart can be guided well, he will definitely become a great person who leads the whole world forward.

But now he realized that his idea was too naΓ―ve.

"Don't worry, old man, I didn't take a stitch from you, I won't take anything that isn't mine. I just want to see your family background, I didn't expect you to be poorer than I expected, is the cost of exploring the ruins of the flood so high in the past few years? Do you want me to help you investigate the corruption in the middle? ”

When the sect master heard this, he smiled secretly in his heart.

Something that isn't yours you won't mess around? That's true...... Maybe it's a little credible, but who dares to bet on your Zhao Shenlu's moral level? It's true that you haven't done a big evil thing, but you have never stopped fighting a little trouble! That little girl of the Li family prescribes a strange menu for me every day in Liantian City, and the whirlpool gold sashimi can be written, I will believe you?! It's not that there is no stock in the two warehouses of Yulin and Huajiangβ€”it's true that exploring the ruins of the Flood Desolation is expensive, and the Holy Sect's two thousand years of accumulation are a little overwhelmed, but it's not that they will be exhaustedβ€”but because the Sect Master has already instructed his subordinates to transfer all the important materials.

This is also a prescient vision formed after dealing with Zhao Shenlu for many years, and now it seems that it is ...... This guy really doesn't disappoint at all!

"Now that I've seen it, and now I've caught it again, can I ask you to leave as soon as possible?"

Zhao Shenlu smiled: "So anxious to drive me away? Don't want to see what good stuff I find? ”

The Sect Master was also angry: "Isn't no matter how good things are, the Sect Master's inheritance, I need you to show it to me?" ”

"You know all about it. Old man, if I'm not mistaken, you're here looking for something related to the demons, right? ”

The sect master was stunned for a moment: "The sword spirit senior told you?" ”

Zhao Shenlu shook his head helplessly: "He can't remember to pass a message to me, once it is related to the problem of the demon clan, he will not recognize it from his six relatives." But it was precisely because he didn't even pay attention to me in the past two days that I guessed that it must have something to do with the demons. But since I woke up, I've been staring at your Holy Sect, and if you really have any problems related to the demon race, I won't be able to see it at all. So if there is a problem, it must be from the previous generation, and you are looking for the inheritance of the previous generation, isn't it just for this? ”

This series of reasoning was really flawless, and the sect master also nodded and admitted: "He did judge that the first sect master was related to the demon race, but this connection is not clear enough......

"Not clear enough?" Zhao Shenlu looked at Wang Jiu in surprise.

The Outer Heaven Divine Sword's induction of the demon race is extremely keen, pointing out that as soon as the demon sword comes out, everything related to the demon race cannot be hidden. Even if the sword world is degraded, it is difficult to imagine that there will be a relationship that makes his judgment not clear enough.

Wang Jiu said: "Things are indeed very strange, I have never seen a similar precedent before, and now I can only judge that it is related to the demon race, but it is completely impossible to assert what kind of relationship it is." ”

After that, Wang Jiu briefly stated the experience of the Golden Cloud Peak Ruins and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Regarding the Demon Clan, Zhao Shenlu naturally didn't have the heart to joke and play, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "I think those two first sect masters are likely to have received the favor of the Demon Clan, such as taking the Demon Clan's elixir, or practicing the Demon Clan's exercises. ”

"Pills and exercises...... Wang Jiu frowned, "The physique of the demon race and humans is very different, and the pills and exercises are not compatible, and they are even highly poisonous to humans. ”

Zhao Shenlu explained: "First of all, the human beings in Xiangzhou, their physique has changed compared to the Kyushu era, and their compatibility with the demon race has been improved. ”

Wang Jiu thought about it for a while and thought it made sense.

The Xiangzhou Continent is an extension of the fragments of the Zhongzhou Continent, and Zhongzhou, as the main battlefield of the decisive battle, can be said to be contaminated with the breath of the demon clan everywhere. And during the decisive battle between the Demon Emperor and the Divine Sword, the laws of the entire heaven and earth were distorted and shattered, and when they recovered later, it was not surprising that they were affected by the power of the Demon Race.

This kind of influence is subtle and ubiquitous, and it is related to the whole of heaven and earth, and it may not be possible to distinguish it with the current demon sword. Therefore, in such an environment, it is not impossible for human beings in the new era to improve their patience with the Demon Clan's exercises.

"Moreover, I think the two sect masters of the first generation are likely to have been poisoned."

"Huh?" This conclusion surprised the current sect master, who was poisoned by the demons?

Zhao Shenlu said: "My dear, do you still remember the model theory of immortal cultivators that the Ten Thousand Immortals League admired back then? ”

Of course Wang Jiu...... I don't remember.

"To put it simply, at that time, the Wan Xian League was particularly fond of promoting some unrealistic moral saints as models, and what those people did was not at all the reaction that human beings should have, and at that time, Concubine Shang also attacked very viciously saying that she would not be a model of immortal cultivators unless her brain was in water or she took the wrong medicine."

Wang Jiu corrected seriously: "The person who said this at that time was you. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You remember this kind of thing clearly, but what I mean anyway is, don't you think that the two founders of the Holy Sect are very much like taking the wrong medicine? What is the difference between this kind of person and a patient with a deviant spirit? ”

The Sect Master retorted, "Your understanding of human beings is too extreme! ”

"Extreme? I've seen a lot more people in my life than you, I've seen all kinds of people, even a very small number of people like the Nameless Sword God who are obsessed with other things, I've seen all kinds of things, but I've never seen a moral saint! That kind of idealized human being, there was no in the past, not now, and not in the future, and you think my understanding is biased, have you seen it? ”

The Sect Master shook his head, to say that he had seen it with his own eyes, he had indeed never seen someone as morally impeccable as the first Sect Master.

"Actually, strictly speaking, I've seen similar people once." Zhao Shenlu said again, "In a cult's human laboratory. At that time, the cult demon was experimenting with drugs to control human thinking, and then an unintentional by-product successfully erased all the selfishness of human beings and forced people to become moral saints. ”

"You're far-fetched." The Sect Master retorted, "Although I haven't read the experimental records at that time, the use of drugs to forcibly control people's minds must have an impact on intelligence, but the wisdom and wisdom of the first Sect Master are also well-known!" ”

Zhao Shenlu said: "Reputation? Their classic deeds, such as the creation of the Three Courtyards, the capital of Liantiancheng, and the alliance of the seven great families...... If you analyze it carefully, it should not be difficult to find that these things do not reflect the ability of operational planning, but the ability to make decisions, and they choose one of several ready-made solutions. As a sect master, you should know the difference. ”

The sect master was silent for a while, and then said, "I think that being able to find the most correct choice in a complicated situation just shows that they are highly intelligent. ”

"That's wrong, if an exam paper only has multiple-choice questions, even fools can get a perfect score by luck, and it doesn't prove that they are really intellectually superhuman. We only know what they chose at the time, but we don't know why they chose that way, even if there is no writing left in the history books. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The two sect masters are introverted and don't like to talk, so naturally there is no historical material left, what's so strange about this? ”

"It's not surprising, but it allows for a variety of explanations, such as a hypothesis now. They are not smart enough to make the right choice, on the contrary, because they are fools who always make the most unwise choice when it comes to big decisions. For example, when they subdued the first batch of loyal junior brothers with their strength, any normal person would consider using these junior brothers to create a new force with themselves and their core. But they broke up the three of them and formed three independent sects, with no intention of concentrating their forces at all. ”

The Sect Master said, "But later it turned out that this was a long-term solution, and with the Three Courtyards as a buffer, the relationship between the Seven Great Families and the Holy Sect could be balanced. ”

"That was also proved later, from the decision-making level at that time, no normal person would take the initiative to disperse forces when the situation was so delicate, and only a fool would support the three independent sects separately."

"It may also be that the two sect masters saw through the personality differences between the founders of the three courtyards and made it difficult for them to work for a long time, so they had to separate them."

"It may also be that they have social phobia and don't like to work with outsiders for a long time, so they drive those tired little brothers as far as they can. And this can also explain why they rarely recruit disciples after the establishment of the Holy Sect, and they never need to be taken care of by subordinates, and they have nothing to do with what kind of approachable and high-minded manners they have, it is just a social fear. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What kind of bullshit theory are you doing!? ”

Zhao Shenlu ignored the sect master's doubts and continued: "The same is true for the subsequent Dingdu and even the Heavenly City, they chose the one that looked the best among several plans, but was also the most difficult to achieve. And this is not because they have fully calculated the feasibility and expected benefits of Dingdu Liantian City, but purely because that plan looks better, so the two fools did not consider the difficulty of implementation at all, so they did not hesitate to choose Liantian City. At that time, some people at the meeting questioned the difficulties of Dingdu Lian Tiancheng, and they only replied with one sentence: if there is a difficulty, then overcome the difficulty. ”

"In the end, they did overcome a lot of seemingly impossible obstacles."

"I said at the beginning that if you're lucky, a fool can get a perfect score on a multiple-choice question. But that doesn't prove that they're not fools. ”
