Order was like a fence, and after staying in the fence for a long time, people would take it for granted that most things in the world were supposed to be like this. The air was filled with truth, kindness, and beauty, and the water that flowed out of the stream was also sweet wine. Everything in the world was supposed to be harmonious.
However, there were always some people, and there were always times when there was no order.
For example, the old belt in front of him..,
He had just killed his own "Family". Alright, those black figures, let's call them his family for the time being..
What he was asking for was just a proof of allegiance. It could also be said that he was asking for a ladder to advance.
Their ancestor was a servant kneeling under the White Bone Throne in the Netherworld Sea. Perhaps Ying Gou felt that his hands and feet were still diligent and could help him clean up the bones and other miscellaneous things, so he left him behind for the time being..
That ancestor's identity was definitely not prominent, and his life level was not too high. Otherwise, he would have been used by Ying Gou to raise the White Bone Throne a little higher, and his blood would have been used to make wine.
But even so, that servant, in that era, could be considered to be below one person and above ten thousand people.
The eunuchs and personal attendants in the ancient palace were nominally the servants of the Emperor's family. In the palace, they were servile, but once they were released, they were also the prestige of a feudal lord.
Perhaps, in the eyes of the old belt, the ancestor back then was an existence of a high status
That was also true, what lawyer an was pursuing was the status of the old belt's ancestor back then.
However, after Ying Gou's fall, the ancestor hid the White Bone Throne. If you said that he really had the intention to rebel and steal it for himself, or if he was keeping it for someone else to prevent the throne that Ying Gou valued the most from falling into the dirty hands of others, it was actually hard to say. After all, it was too long ago.
But now, the descendants of that person, which was also the old belt's clan, in order to survive and reproduce, generation after generation, they had turned themselves into such a state
To say that a demon was not a demon, to say that a human was not a human, to say that a ghost was not a ghost, this was a kind of continuation, but also a kind of torture.
The opportunity to change might be here.
But no matter how many reasons there were, whether noble or despicable
Boss Zhou would not feel that the other party was cruel and afraid just because the old belt had directly killed his family,
Because even now..,
Zhou Ze did not really believe him.
Rather than believing a stranger that he had just known for a few days..,
Zhou Ze was more willing to believe in the bag of potatoes in his shoulder bag.
This was a very simple plot. It was like a simple and honest old farmer who could not understand the changes in the stock market. However, he knew that as long as there was food in his barn, his days would be truly stable.
"Boss, this way please."
The old man wiped his tears and led Zhou Ze forward.
There was a fence at the entrance of the mountain with a memorial arch at the top and stone tablets on both sides.
The two stone tablets on the left and right were opposite each other. The person in the painting was kneeling. The painting was simple but straightforward.
You can think of it as a warning from the ancestors of this clan to their descendants to remember their identity as servants and to be loyal to their masters.
The old belt stopped in his tracks and signaled Zhou Ze to stop too.
He turned around and said,
"Boss, there is a magic array in front of us. The Life Gate is in the Zhen position. We are now facing east, which is the Northeast position."
"Formation?"
"Yes."
The old belt's two green soybean-like eyes rolled and he continued, "When I came in, they had already sensed me. Because of the special reproduction method of our clan, the connection between us can't be erased no matter what.
"According to our previous arrangements, this array formation wants to trap you. Then, we will activate the other array formations and carry out several layers of suppression and confinement."
"Arrangements?"
"Yes, according to the arrangement, my family members came over to let me kill them. It was also to win your trust so that you would let down your guard and trust me."
Zhou Ze did not comment.
The old belt stretched out his hands and leaped into the threshold. Black chains were pulled out by the old belt. He threw himself in like a stone and asked for directions, directly triggering the array formation.
At this moment, Zhou Ze was still outside the array formation.
After the array formation was activated, layers of dark light screens pressed down. Each layer was superimposed with twice the gravity
It was like a piece of white paper folded twenty-five times, it could be taller than Mount Emei. As long as the gravity could be superimposed layer by layer, no matter how strong a body was, it could only be crushed into dust.
The old belt looked very painful inside. His face was squeezed from the swollen circle to the point that it began to flatten. It was like a piece of sea surface that was squeezed hard in his hand. You could even see the juice that was squeezed out of it.
Zhou Ze's gaze looked to the northeast of the fence,
He stretched out his hand,
His fingernails grew out,
He said in a deep voice,
"Newspaper."
The murderous aura flowed from his fingertips and turned into a powerful impact force that charged in that direction.
"Buzz!"
At that position, the figure of a person who was also wearing a mask was beaten out.
He seemed to be completely immersed in controlling the array formation and was not prepared for Zhou Ze's direct attack.
The murderous aura pierced through his body and crazily devoured his main body
Logically speaking, he should not be so weak, but just like how no matter how strong an expert was, if his neck was cut with a knife, he would still be finished. In this situation, boss Zhou knew in advance and launched a sneak attack, directly ending him.
The masked man's body began to collapse,
The array formation that he had set up also stopped paralyzing.
The old belt crawled on the ground. He looked much thinner. His face was not as big as before, but it looked more three-dimensional than before.
It had changed from a big pancake face to a square face.
At this moment, boss Zhou was thinking that he should let old Xu learn this array formation after he came in. He could use it for plastic surgery for others. Perhaps he could even open a late-night plastic surgery hospital in the future.
Zhou Ze slowly walked to the old belt's side,
The old Taoist staggered to his feet again,
He pointed to the front,
In front,
It was the stairs up the mountain,
The situation was even more rugged than the old version of the stone steps on Mount Hua.
That was true. Most of the people who lived here used to float. Naturally, they would not spend too much effort to repair these stairs that were not very useful.
"There is an array formation on the stairs. First, walk on the left. After the tenth floor, you will change to the right. This way, you can avoid the pressure of this mountain on those who climb the mountain."
The old belt did not rest too much. He dragged his tired and injured body up the stairs.
Zhou Ze did not hesitate and followed the old belt up.
On the tenth floor, he changed directions to the side. Zhou Ze did not know if there was pressure from this mountain, but he did walk very easily.
As he walked..,
He reached the halfway point of the mountain,
There was a gazebo,
There was a sculpture in the gazebo,
This sculpture was wearing simple and unadorned armor, and its eyes were looking straight in the direction of the mountain.
As for the old belt, he was like a tour guide. While helping Zhou Ze explore the way, he did not forget to introduce the local intangible cultural heritage to Zhou Ze.
"After the White Bone Throne fell into the hands of our race, our race has been immersed in how to contact the Demon God suppressed in the White Bone Throne for generations. Because of the innate life level of our race, our race's own development potential is not great, so we can only rely on the power of the Demon God.
This sculpture was called 'Good Sparrow'. Its original body was an ancient ferocious beast. It had once caused chaos in hell and attempted to encroach on the order of hell. After being killed, it was placed under the White Bone Throne.
He was the first batch and could be considered the raw material when the White Bone Throne first appeared. Therefore, his resentment was also the greatest.
When our race began to try to communicate with the Demon God's soul in the White Bone Throne, it was also his first choice of response. He established a connection with our ancestor and formed a contract.
This was regarded by our race as a new era of development in our race, so we erected the sculpture here.
"This sculpture is also a spiritual imprint point for him. He can descend through this place at any time."
Just as the old belt finished speaking,
The sculpture's eyes opened,
In his eyes..,
With a hint of ridicule,
He first swept his gaze towards the old belt,
Then he looked at Zhou Ze.
"Winning hook?"
The sculpture spoke.
The old belt put his hands together and bowed to the sculpture. He said sincerely,
"Master has returned to retrieve the throne. Please make way."
"Alright, make way, make way, hehehe..."
The sculpture's laughter was very sinister, but the choice in his words was very sincere.
The old belt turned to look at Zhou Ze and reported,
"Next, he'll step aside, but he's proficient in soul techniques. After you go up, he'll use a trapping technique to confuse you, causing you to be at a loss for what to do. Meanwhile, the other people of my clan on the back mountain will summon other Demon Gods to besiege you.
This is what we have arranged previously. The threshold method is only to wear down Boss's physical body's Qi and blood. This is to wear down Boss's Soul Power, making you physically and mentally exhausted.
The way to break out of this situation is to destroy this pavilion first. "
"..." the sculpture.
Zhou Ze did not continue up the mountain. Instead, he walked to the pavilion and looked at the sculpture.
The sculpture was also staring at Zhou Ze,
"Ying Gou... Are you that weak?
I didn't expect that the you from back then would have such a day.
Last time, I lost to you. But this time, even if you destroy my spiritual imprint first, when you go up the mountain, I will let you have a taste of the pain we suffered when you suppressed us back then!
This is our fated battle,
Between you and me,
There will be a battle,
There will be a victor! "
Zhou Ze tilted his head and continued to stare at the sculpture.
The sculpture saw that Zhou Ze was not in a hurry to destroy the pavilion. Instead, he was sizing him up from head to toe, making him feel a little puzzled.
"Are you afraid, Ying Gou?"
"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be afraid too!"
"After losing your strength, do you even lose your courage?"
"You're afraid of me. Yes, you're afraid of me!"
Zhou Ze ignored the sculpture's words,
He was just talking to himself:
"The color of the armor is green. Do you have an impression?"
"The stripes are circled. Oh, right, he also has a tail behind him. Do you still not remember?"
"There's a sarcoma on his head. Do you remember?"
"His feet are very big, like a frogman. Do you still not remember?"
"Oh, right, what's his name again?"
Zhou Ze pointed at the sculpture, but he looked at the old belt.
"Liang Que," the old belt replied.
"Oh, he said his name is Liang Que. Think about it again. Think about it carefully. Really, don't be lazy. Think about it seriously."
Finally,
Zhou Ze sighed helplessly,
He looked at the sculpture,
He said very seriously:
"Sorry, it's not that I don't want to cooperate with you and give you some respect and game experience.
But he said it,
He really doesn't remember someone like you. "
"..." the sculpture.
