Chapter 23: The Unsung Hero
In the face of Wang Jiu's confident posture, Rao was as resourceful as Zhao Shenlu, and for a while he also felt that the mouse pulled the turtle and had no way to start.
Fortunately, this kind of bitterness has long been accustomed to it, and in the Kyushu era, she has repeatedly hit a wall in front of the Outer Heaven Divine Sword, so she is not very discouraged, and after bidding farewell to Wang Jiu, she began to seriously consider how to make him give up the position of sect master.
Zhao Shenlu, who has an intelligence index of 8 points, has the brainpower to do everything in one step, and quickly thought of a way.
——
"Light tea, good evening."
Shen Qingming was full of excitement, and immediately pulled out the short knife of the talisman, first aimed at Zhao Shenlu, and then considering the difference in combat power between the two sides, he simply aimed at himself, and said sharply: "What do you want to do?" Be careful, I call Ah Jiu to help! ”
Zhao Shenlu sneered: "I really want to be bad for you, even if my dear comes over, I can only collect your body, put away the knife, I'm here to help you." ”
Shen Qingming's hand holding the knife clenched tighter: "Help me free or help me reincarnate?" ”
“…… Can't you look at life more optimistically and positively? ”
Shen Qingming: "If you are me, can you be optimistic?" ”
"If I looked like you, I would have killed myself...... Of course, I'm mainly referring to the figure, objectively your face is not bad. ”
"What the hell are you doing here!?"
Zhao Shenlu said: "Come to help you, aren't you against him being the sect master?" I'm on your side this time. ”
Shen Qingming was surprised, and only after a long time did he smile and say, "Because after he takes office, he really wants to attack you?" ”
“…… You've been a little too much of a fool lately. Zhao Shenlu shook his head, "Don't be busy gloating, if he can do it to me, he can naturally do it to you." ”
Shen Qingming sneered: "Me? I'm not as lawless as someone who offends the whole world, why did Ah Jiu attack me? ”
"For the survival of the fittest, to raise the average level of human intelligence."
"Get out of here!"
Zhao Shenlu said: "Don't be in a hurry to get angry, calm down and think about it carefully, if you really let that guy who has no human flavor take over this kind of work, he will definitely ride on the inhuman road." I'm going to lose a lot of money, and you're not going to be much better! ”
"I haven't done anything bad, what bad results can I have? If he wants to build an ideal society, I will only be like a fish in water. ”
"In that ideal society, there is everything, but not him. Are you okay with that? ”
Shen Qingming was silent for a moment.
Zhao Shenlu said: "If your feelings for him are only at this level, then it is purely superfluous for me to look for you today, and I will leave." ”
Shen Qingming immediately said, "Wait, count me in, let's stop him from taking over as the sect master...... You must have already had an idea before you came to me, right? ”
"Well, I've come up with a solution, but I need your help to make it happen."
"Tell me about it."
"You go to him with this knife and tell him that if he wants to take over as the sect master, you will die to show him."
The earth-shattering idea of "......" made Shen Qingming completely shocked.
"I'm not kidding, it's the best chance of success right now. While he has not yet taken over as the sect master, he still retains his humanity and threatens his life, it is possible for him to submit. When he takes over as the sect master and switches to the sect master mode, a mere human life will not be in his eyes. ”
"Then why didn't you kill yourself!"
Zhao Shenlu said: "He is not stupid, of course he knows that I can't really commit suicide." ”
"Am I possible?! I'm not stupid! ”
"But in his opinion, you are mildly retarded, and it is not unusual to do anything, so only your threats have an effect."
"You, you ......" Shen Qingming was so angry that she couldn't find a way to refute the other party's logic for a while.
"But this is too despicable, although I don't support him as the sect master, but in fact, Ah Jiu is very interested in the work of the sect master. It's too despicable to threaten him with his life to give up his preferences by relying on their friendship......"
Zhao Shenlu sneered: "No wonder some people say that Our Lady grew up with mental retardation. When did you still have the heart to have this kind of compassion? What's wrong with meanness? During the Great War of Immortals and Demons, in order to fight against the demons, we have all used many despicable tactics, and even your family's Outer Heaven Sword Spirit is one of the most despicable tacticians! If we all follow the call of Our Lady to value peace, and fight against the claws of the demons with flowers and smiles, the human race will be wiped out a hundred times sooner! ”
Shen Qingming was sprayed with dog blood and inexplicable, she felt sorry for Wang Jiu, and she was actually formed a murderer of human civilization?
But Zhao Shenlu's words have some truth, in front of the overall situation, the details such as persistent means are indeed too stupid.
"That'...... I'm going to try it? ”
Zhao Shenlu said: "Go ahead, go ahead, I will cheer for you." ”
——
Ten minutes later, Shen Qingming came back with a sad face.
Zhao Shenlu knew the result as soon as she saw that expression, covered her face and said, "I know that I shouldn't ask you to be a little girl with the temperament of a loser." ”
Shen Qingming said angrily: "At least I tried it!" What else would you do besides say cool things?! ”
Zhao Shenlu asked, "How did you try?" ”
"I went up to him and told him that I was firmly against him taking over as lord of the city, and that if he insisted on going his own way, I would die for him."
"Hmm, although the twist of the line is a little blunt, the meaning should be very clear, what did he say?"
“…… He said that as a mount, I did not have the authority to judge myself, and then showed me the terms of the master-slave contract and deprived me of the ability to judge myself. ”
Shen Qingming said as she slid the short knife towards her neck with all her might, but the moment the blade touched her body, the muscles in her arm automatically froze.
"Look, I don't have the ability to kill myself. So you better think differently, like you kill yourself! ”
Zhao Shenlu pondered for a while and said, "That's right, you might as well change your mind - although he forbade you to commit suicide, he shouldn't have forbade you to self-harm, after all, you still have to practice immovable hegemony." So you can get yourself seriously injured and dying first......"
"To hell with you!"
Zhao Shenlu saw that the other party's resistance was very resolute, so he had to reluctantly give up this tactic for the time being, and said instead: "Okay, okay, since you are so uncooperative, let's give up this road for the time being, completely change our thinking, and find a way from the sect master's old man." ”
Shen Qingming was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you planning to let him give up his plan to pass on the throne?" ”
"In the final analysis, there are only two ways to stop him from taking over as the sect master...... Is there any good way to stop the old man's succession? ”
Shen Qingming frowned, and said in her heart, "You are asking me this question?" I didn't even know the Holy Sect Master before, how could I possibly know how to get him to twist his mind?
While thinking, Shen Qingming responded casually: "Why don't you threaten him with your life, if he is ...... Well, if he could retract the idea of succession, you would kill yourself to show him, and he would definitely agree. ”
Zhao Shenlu cut off: "You little girl's mouth is a lot more vicious." But your words really inspire me......"
——
Zhao Shenlu, as a wise man who did everything he could, quickly drew up a full set of plans, and found the current sect master in Wanxiang Garden as soon as possible.
"Good evening, old man!"
The greeting outside the door successfully woke up the Holy Sect Sect Master, who rarely slept once.
"What are you crazy about in the middle of the night?!"
Zhao Shenlu said: "You are so old, be careful not to wake up after sleeping for a long time." ”
"I'm not a 300-year-old uncle, I'm still early in the period of exhaustion, and if I hadn't worked overtime to deal with so much mess you caused me, I wouldn't have had to sleep at all...... Say, what's the matter with me? ”
Zhao Shenlu said: "Regarding the matter of passing on the Heavenly Outer Divine Sword, I hope you can think about it again. ”
The sect master was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said, "I was indeed thinking about it, I originally wanted to pass on the throne immediately, but when I thought of your personal relationship with him, I had to hesitate for a moment. ”
"If an heir can't make you fall in love with him at a glance and have emotions that he can't must, that's not appropriate, you should give up decisively and replace him! You're all getting old, please be an independent and delicate sect master! ”
"You're talking about women getting married, aren't you!?"
Zhao Shenlu said: "Is there any difference? It's all one-on-one, it's all once in a lifetime, and it's all two people who are not related by blood to directly conclude a close blood relationship, what do you say is the difference!? ”
Speaking of which, Zhao Shenlu gritted his teeth instead.
The sect master asked, "Jealous?" ”
"Nonsense! Why else would I stop you? Zhao Shenlu said, "In short, I think this matter is inappropriate, and I suggest you give up." ”
"Why?"
Zhao Shenlu said: "If you have a high-sounding reason, he has sacrificed everything in order to save human civilization, and now he has finally been resurrected by chance, why do you have to carry such a hard burden and run for mankind for decades?" Wouldn't humans be able to take care of themselves without him? ”
Hearing this, the sect master sighed: "This is indeed the truth, the kindness of the predecessor of the sword spirit to the human race is like the sea, but I want to consider his threat first with the heart of a villain, and I am embarrassed to think about it." Fortunately, the Sword Spirit senior himself seems to be interested in this matter, which makes me feel a little less uneasy. ”
"His interest stems from his ignorance of human society, and you take advantage of his ignorance to trick him into carrying a heavy responsibility, isn't it too despicable?"
The sect master nodded: "It's really despicable to think about it like this, but I won't treat the sword spirit senior as a child who has no ideas and no responsibilities, he himself is interested in this matter, and he should know the weight he needs to carry." Moreover, you came to me so eagerly, is it because the sword spirit senior plans to make an example of you and take you after taking office? ”
Zhao Shenlu narrowed his eyes and looked at the sect master seriously.
"It's surprising that you still have such brainpower."
"When have you ever paid serious attention to me? I ask you, what's my name? ”
“…… Suzerain? ”
"That's my position! I'm asking for names! ”
"So, old man?"
