Chapter 20: A Great Man from Heaven

"Old man, you are just emotional, unwilling to face up to the objective reality. What the two founders did, if you really want to explain it with wisdom and wisdom, their intelligence index is probably even higher than that of the business girl back then! But if you look at it from a different perspective, if it's just because they're stupid enough, things are easier to explain. ”

"You're just messing around, and if you make the right choice because you're stupid and not smart enough, what's the difference between being smart and stupid?"

"The difference is that when there are too many smart people, stupid people come out on top, and vice versa. When the Holy Sect was founded, it was at the end of the Dark Ages, when the world had been divided for a long time, and the flames were stretching and the people's hearts were exhausted. However, this excessive calculation and shrewdness have not made human civilization better, but have formed a huge quagmire that people are deep in. At that time, everyone was disgusted with this environment in their hearts. And at this time, two fools who ignore all the rules can naturally stand out and win everyone's support. Although I have always looked down on fools, I also admit that in those days, only fools could work miracles. ”

“…… So at the end of the day, would you rather tout the Holy Sect that you have always looked down upon, but also prove that our two ancestors were fools? ”

"To be precise, an unfortunate victim of the demon poison."

"It's not all the same!"

Just when Zhao Shenlu insisted on proving that the two founders of the Holy Sect were mentally retarded patients who had been poisoned by the demon race, Wang Jiu had already discovered the source of the demon clan's aura through the demon sword again.

Right at the bottom of that secluded lake, there is an insignificant demon aura hidden.

And when Zhao Shenlu saw Wang Jiu's reaction, he temporarily put aside the verbal dispute with the Holy Sect Master, and said: "There is no basis for empty words, it is indeed difficult to win people's trust based on hypotheses alone, but I have evidence, I have found traces of the demon clan here." ”

Hearing this, without waiting for the sect master to speak, Wang Jiu turned into a white light without hesitation and flew into the lake.

The water is clear and quiet, but it is as heavy and sticky as glue, and every minute of diving down is doubly elastic resistance. Like a transparent shield full of elasticity, it protects the underwater cavern.

However, this small mechanism could neither stop Zhao Shenlu, nor of course it could stop the Outer Heaven Divine Sword, the pure white divine sword crossed the lake like a bamboo, and came to the door of a cave.

"It's ...... The relics of the first suzerain. ”

Behind him, the Holy Sect Master's mood was slightly complicated, and then he stretched out his hand to open the stone door of the cave.

After a rumbling sound, the stone gate opened inward, and a gentle repulsion blocked the flow of water at the bottom of the lake, but it did not prevent Wang Jiu and the others from entering.

The space behind the door is not very large, about the size of an ordinary bedroom, and there are three display cases in it, and the exhibits on them are also sparse.

"The two founders left very little behind, and there is no written material in it, so ......"

Before he finished speaking, the sect master shook his head and closed his mouth.

Because Wang Jiu and Zhao Shenlu had completely left him aside and immersed themselves in their own world.

Wang Jiu walked to a display case, looked at a cyan teapot with a slightly unique shape, and asked, "Is this the evidence you found?" ”

Zhao Shenlu said: "Yes, looking at the reflux design of the spout part, is it very similar to the filter of the standard kettle commonly used by the Demon Pioneers?" ”

Wang Jiu took a serious look and said, "Although the shape is very different from the Demon Kettle, the design concept does have something in common......

"Sure enough." Zhao Shenlu nodded, "They must have gotten the inheritance of the Demon Clan!" “

Hearing this, the sect master had to interrupt: "Wait, your conclusion is too arbitrary, just a teapot to conclude that they are related to the demon race?" The spout structure of this teapot is not unique, I have seen similar results in other places other than the original Sect Master, and in practice, the filtration effect is really good when drinking certain tea leaves......"

"It has nothing to do with good or bad, it doesn't mean that what comes from the demon race is necessarily a bad thing, as a strong civilization that has almost wiped out human civilization, the demon race must have a lot of strengths worth learning from. Especially in terms of military supplies, it is a condensation of the ingenuity of countless sages of the demon race, and their military kettle design is one of them. I used to study it back then. ”

"Since you have also researched, how can you conclude that they have obtained the inheritance of the demon race, not your inheritance?"

"Because if it were our heritage, this technique would not have been used in teapots. The purpose of the demon filter is to allow the demon vanguard to adapt to the environment of the world and find drinkable water anytime and anywhere. But for humans who have not invaded the Chaos Ten Thousand Worlds, our water source is not so complicated, so there is no need for this kind of filter at all, the correct use of this technology is to use it on the Spirit Gathering Array to improve the efficiency of gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Only when you get the demon kettle directly, and you lack the ability to process the technology, you will use the filter on the teapot like a cat. This usage is too wasteful for humans, so until now, such filters are rare, and if you trace back to the source of history, the oldest application case is here, as a precedent, what's wrong with doubting that he got the demon legacy? ”

This series of reasoning made the Holy Sect Sect Master nod his head and admit it.

"In addition, there is this Dan furnace, although it has been transformed, but the core obviously has traces of demon technology, in my opinion, it is more like it was repaired from the fragments of the demon furnace, and it has extremely high efficiency when refining some dangerous materials, but it should no longer be applicable in the current Xiangzhou environment."

Zhao Shenlu said and sighed.

"In the three display cases, there are a few similar things, whether there is a relationship with the demon clan, you probably don't believe it when I say it, just ask him."

Wang Jiu directly gave a positive reply: "Although there is no direct connection, the indirect connection is very close, and it is certain that most of the supplies here are more or less influenced by the demon race...... Your suspicion is indeed partially confirmed, and it is likely that they have got the inheritance of the demons. ”

"Hah, I knew it!" Zhao Shenlu said excitedly, "How can there be such a flawless saint in the world, he must have taken the wrong medicine!" ”

The sect master also gave up resistance at this time and no longer argued: "Well, no matter how complicated and absurd the historical causes are, the result is good after all, the two founders ended the dark age of mankind and established the glorious Xiangzhou civilization. Do you want to deny the historical value of the Holy Sect because they were poisoned? Overthrow the current order? ”

Speaking of which, the sect master was still a little nervous, although Zhao Shenlu didn't look like the kind of big devil who was interested in destroying the world, but she at least definitely had the ability. A great monk who had cultivated to the Heavenly Collapse Realm and fought bloody battles with the demons, and now he has received the help of the Heavenly Divine Sword, in fact, there is no one to control it.

If you make a simple calculation, even if the Holy Sect Sect Master and the leaders of the three academies work together, they will at most temporarily repel the pair, but with the passage of time, the opponent's strength will far surpass that of today's Xiangzhou people, and at that time......

At this time, Zhao Shenlu said: "Why should I overthrow the current order? Was it fun to be a chief in a primitive society? If I had such a desire for power, I should have expanded greatly when I was in charge of Golden Jade City, and I might not be completely sure of the scale of Heavenly City and Heavenly Crafts, and it would be more than enough to annex Qingyun City. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Shenlu also sighed: "I knew that I shouldn't have been lazy that day, if I really swallowed Qingyun City, the person who awakened the Heavenly Divine Sword must be me." ”

The sect master questioned: "With your temperament, even if you swallow Qingyun City, you may not be able to go deep into the vegetable market to buy a white sword. ”

Zhao Shenlu said: "With my temperament, the first thing I will do after swallowing Qingyun City is to send the entire Li family to Feiyan Mountain to mine. Without that little girl making trouble, with the fate between us, it was only a matter of time before we met. ”

This meticulous reasoning is completely irrefutable.

At this time, Wang Jiu had also finished reading the entire contents of the three showcases, although he still had doubts about all this in his heart, but he also admitted that if he thought rationally, the conjecture proposed by Zhao Shenlu was already the most reasonable and most likely.

The remains of the first generation of suzerains are pure-blooded humans, but they themselves have a constant relationship with the demons, and their daily use is often accompanied by the style of the demons, and their temperament does have symptoms of taking the wrong medicine.

In this way, the truth of the matter seems to be clear at a glance, two humans with extraordinary talents in the dark ages inadvertently excavated the remnants of the demon heritage during the Immortal and Demon War, due to the great degradation of knowledge at that time, they were ignorant of the danger of the demon heritage, swallowed the potentially fatal pill, and then gained power, lost their humanity, and finally became the legendary saint.

Even to the Outer Sword, this is a story full of irony, but the history of mankind itself seems to him to be a satirical joke.

So, let's just accept this hypothesis for now.

The Sect Master finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Sword Spirit Senior, can you completely rule out the suspicion of the Holy Sect now?" ”

Wang Jiu said: "Matters related to the demon clan, except for myself, no one will completely rule out suspicion, the infiltration of the demon clan is pervasive, and it is impossible to prevent it, even Zhao Shenlu must be regularly inspected by the Demon Sword." But I will not let this suspicion interfere with normal work life, so while the Holy Father is still suspicious, I will not take any action because of it, unless a new problem is discovered. ”

"Then about the matter of inheriting the sect master...... the old man said this, suddenly glanced at Zhao Shenlu, and changed his words, "Can you delay it for a while?" ”
