Chapter 190 Life Mentor
Dog Elder nodded slightly, maintaining a squatting posture, and looked at the Demon Eye sealed in the tree, saying, "The person you wanted to see has arrived. I hope you can fulfill your promise."
Demon Eye Heavenly King looked at Zhang Yuanqing, raised the corner of his mouth, his face full of pleasure: "I want to talk to Yuanshi Tianzun alone."
Dog Elder shook his head: "You know it's meaningless." In the zoo, plants were his eyes and ears.
Demon Eye Heavenly King grinned: "This one just doesn't like having miscellaneous fish around when talking."
Miscellaneous fish Fu Qingyang raised his eyebrows.
Dog Elder pondered slightly, looked at Zhang Yuanqing, and said, "No matter what he says, you must not take off the band on his forehead."
Zhang Yuanqing asked with some concern: "The bewitching demon's eyes can also release skills."
"Don't worry, his abilities are sealed, and he is no different from ordinary people." After Dog Elder finished speaking, he left with Fu Qingyang.
In the prison cell, only Zhang Yuanqing and Demon Eye were left. The Demon Eye Heavenly King, who only showed his upper body and head, smiled and said: "We meet again, Yuanshi Tianzun!"
"In fact, I don't want to see you again." Zhang Yuanqing said expressionlessly, his tone low: "Say what you have to say, Demon Eye Heavenly King, although I don't think we have anything to talk about."
Demon Eye Heavenly King maintained a bright smile: "At first, I just wanted to wipe out you this ant to avenge Li Xianzong. Li Xianzong, although cruel and belligerent, and bloodthirsty, he had a merit that I appreciated. Compared with most bewitching demons, his bottom line was slightly higher."
"So I planned to cultivate him into a capable assistant to help me cleanse the world, but you killed him. Of course, you were acting on behalf of Heaven, and I don't deny that."
"Can we skip the nonsense and get straight to the point..." Zhang Yuanqing complained inwardly.
Demon Eye Heavenly King continued: "You know I have rules when killing people, and I never kill innocent people, so after coming to Songhai, I ordered people to investigate your criminal record. Unfortunately, you have never done anything that triggered the law, no corruption, no abuse of power, no rape of women, no killing of the innocent. I really can't find a reason to kill you."
"...Zhang Yuanqing couldn't hold back and reminded him: "Heavenly King, do you think there might be a possibility that I just haven't had time to do these things yet?"
Demon Eye Heavenly King nodded: "My subordinates reminded me, but how do you explain the Copper Sparrow Tower case? Your gains and risks in this case are not proportional. What prompted you to destroy the Copper Sparrow Tower at the risk of your life?" Don't answer me, just ask your own heart."
Zhang Yuanqing was speechless and said helplessly: "You wanted me to see you, what exactly do you want to say? What do you want to do?"
Demon Eye Heavenly King answered irrelevantly and sighed: "My life has been very unsuccessful. I struggled to survive as a child, and my life was like grass. When I was young, I was furious at those corrupt officials and succumbed to those evil men who bullied the weak."
"After I became a bewitching demon, I faced the very people I hated the most. Sometimes I endured them very hard, but I couldn't do anything about it."
"I want to cleanse the world of evil, to stop killing with killing, to control violence with violence. The orderly people say I am extreme, a madman, and deserve to die. People in the evil camp say I have a brain problem."
"Isn't that so..." Zhang Yuanqing listened silently.
"I finally found a Li Xianzong, who can be regarded as a companion. Until I understood you..." Demon Eye Heavenly King's eyes suddenly became hot, and he said, "Yuanshi Tianzun, there are many people who abide by the law, but few are willing to risk their lives for morality, and you are the only one I have seen who is willing to risk their lives for morality, has this ability, and has great potential."
"Yuanshi Tianzun, follow me and cleanse the world together. This world is sick, and it needs treatment."
"You came all the way here in the middle of the night just to try to win me over?" Hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing felt absurd and felt that this was something the Demon Eye Society would do.
He wanted to mock the other party as a lunatic, but looking at the Demon Eye's excited expression, serious eyes, and the zeal of a martyr when talking about cleansing the world, Zhang Yuanqing was silent.
Such a person may be a lunatic, or deserve to die, but should not be mocked. Zhang Yuanqing thought for a while and said, "Demon Eye Heavenly King, my philosophy is different from yours. My grandfather once said that nine out of ten officials are corrupt, and the remaining one is greedy enough. Officials, those in the system, those who open companies, those who are leaders in big companies... Anyone who has power in their hands, who wouldn't be greedy? Who wouldn't seek personal gain?"
"Greed is human nature, and not being greedy goes against human nature. The saints in this world only exist on the Internet, and in reality, everyone wants all the benefits in the world to belong to them."
"So, we must face human nature and those dark sides. While punishing evil and promoting good, we must also learn to live in harmony with the world."
"Your philosophy is too extreme. Is the world you idealize cleaning the world? No, it's slaughtering the entire human race."
"So what?" Demon Eye stared at him.
"So I can't be on the same path as you." Zhang Yuanqing said in a deep voice.
Demon Eye Heavenly King was silent. After a long time, he opened his mouth slowly: "I understand your thoughts. Then, Yuanshi Tianzun, I want to curse you. One day, when you see the darkness of human nature, when your grievances cannot be redressed, when justice is forced by power, when the weak are reduced to lambs, I curse you to become like me."
In the low voice, Zhang Yuanqing felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if an invisible hand had grabbed his heart fiercely.
"Hiss, hiss!"
At that moment, two vines sprang over, entangled Zhang Yuanqing, and emitted a soft but strong emerald green halo.
A few seconds later, the vines retracted, and from the trunk of the camphor tree came Dog Elder's solemn voice: "No curse, no bewitchment, Demon Eye, what did you do?"
Demon Eye smiled brightly: "I didn't do anything. My words are only useful to people with the same ideas." He looked deeply at Zhang Yuanqing, grinned, and said: "My purpose has been achieved. Yuanshi Tianzun, you will eventually walk the same path as me."
"Damn it!" Zhang Yuanqing summoned the Subduing Demon Pestle without saying a word and stabbed it hard into his thigh.
A blazing golden light burst out, and his pupils lit up with a bright golden light.
The next moment, the golden light dissipated, and Zhang Yuanqing looked puzzled. Dog Elder was right, he was not cursed or bewitched. His body and soul were not affected by any external negative influences. Demon Eye's words seemed to be just ordinary declarations, without practical significance.
But why does my heart hurt? Zhang Yuanqing muttered to himself.
"Don't play these little tricks," Dog Elder's slightly displeased voice came: "Demon Eye, you should fulfill your promise."
"Of course!" Demon Eye raised the corner of his mouth, his face full of pleasure: "This one keeps his word, and I will tell you what I know about the Chu family's extermination case."
After a pause, he said: "The ones who led the cult members to destroy the Chu family were Extermination and Ghost Blade. They were under the order of Shura."
"It's actually Shura?" Dog Elder's tone became stunned, "Why did Shura want to destroy the Chu family?"
Shura was the strongest evil professional, and he was also touted by the evil profession as the number one The Way of the Extraordinary. This person had been living in seclusion for many years and rarely appeared. Although the Chu family was a The Way of the Extraordinary family, it was completely unreasonable for Shura to name and destroy the Chu family.
Demon Eye "Hey" said: "Of course it was the Night Rose who wanted to destroy the Chu family. The real purpose of the Night Rose was to seize the rule-type item of the Chu family. Its role, I don't need to say more."
Dog Elder was silent for a long time and asked: "Resurrection... Who does the Night Rose want to resurrect?"
Without waiting for Demon Eye to reply, Dog Elder understood: "Resurrect the leader of the Night Rose..." He understood. No wonder Demon Eye said that the Night Rose had no leader before the Chu family was exterminated.
The Night Rose at that time was not strong enough to destroy the Chu family, so they conspired with the Military God Sect. However, if this was the case, the Night Rose only needed to contact the Heavenly King level high-level. How would Shura manage these things? Not to mention personally issuing orders.
"Would Shura care about these trivial matters?" Dog Elder asked puzzled.
Demon Eye Heavenly King said: "This is not a trivial matter. You must know that the leader of the Night Rose is a Night Wanderer, Dog thing, with your identity and authority, you should know the prophecy of the Light Compass, at least you have heard of it. I don't know the prophecy of the Light Compass, I can only tell you that the great protector of the Night Rose reached a certain agreement with Shura."
"Shura placed his bet on the leader of the Night Rose."
The prophecy of the Light Compass? Zhang Yuanqing looked ignorant and calm on the surface, but his heart was stormy.
The last time he heard the prophecy of the Light Compass was in the audio of the Demon Lord, from the mysterious Void professional.
The prophecy of the Light Compass involves the Night Rose and Shura? Even Shura, who is known as the strongest evil organization, cares so much... Shura destroyed the Chu family to help the Night Rose resurrect their leader, which is also equivalent to investing in the Night Rose... And the Association of Beauty, the mysterious powerhouse of the Void professional, also invested in the Demon Lord....
I don't know what mysterious secrets are hidden in the Night Wanderer profession... Zhang Yuanqing's mind was full of thoughts and various ideas flashed through his mind.
The prison cell fell into a long silence. Just as Zhang Yuanqing thought Dog Elder had fallen asleep, Dog Elder's voice came from the tree trunk: "I understand, Yuanshi, you leave first."
Phew... Zhang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief. Instead of leaving immediately, he said, "Elder, I feel that Demon Eye's words are strange. This trip was a loss. I apply for compensation."
"But you were not cursed and bewitched... Forget it, what do you want?" Dog Elder was not in the mood to argue at this time.
"I want to tell the information to Zhi Sha Palace Master."
"Okay!"
Zhang Yuanqing turned around and left happily.
Pushing open the door of the prison cell, Fu Qingyang stood under the street light on the side of the road, his posture straight and his expression expressionless, truly standing like a pine tree. Seeing him come out, Fu Qingyang nodded slightly and turned to leave.
Zhang Yuanqing followed suit and told Fu Qingyang word for word what Demon Eye had said just now. Fu Qingyang slowed down and listened very carefully. After he finished speaking, he said in a deep voice: "Without Dog Elder's permission, you so easily told me such important information?"
Zhang Yuanqing looked serious: "Once a White Tiger Guard, always a White Tiger Guard. This subordinate is the person of Battalion Commander in life and the ghost of Battalion Commander in death."
Fu Qingyang glanced at him: "Not to that extent!" Then he added: "But I am very satisfied with this awareness. Well, the specification of the house allocated to you will be increased by five million."
"So rich. Then I have a house specification of twenty-five million..." Zhang Yuanqing's mood suddenly brightened.
Fu Qingyang murmured in a low voice: "The prophecy of the Light Compass..."
Zhang Yuanqing's ears perked up and asked, "Does Battalion Commander know?"
Fu Qingyang retracted his thoughts and thought for a few seconds:
"I don't know, but what you said today reminded me of an old event when I was a child. About twenty years ago, the marshal of the White Tiger Corps died in an accident. During that time, the elders of the Fu family were quite panicked, fearing that the influence of the White Tiger Corps would decline and become a second-rate force."
"I once accidentally heard about the 'Light Compass', but at that time I was ignorant and didn't take it to heart."
"Oh, I know about this. The marshal of the White Tiger Corps died in that riot, and the Five Elements Alliance was established because of this..." Zhang Yuanqing failed to inquire about the contents of the prophecy from Fu Qingyang, which was quite disappointing.
More than ten minutes later, the two left the fork in the road, returned to the main road, and walked towards the entrance of the zoo.
Just as the two were about to walk out of the gate of the zoo, Zhang Yuanqing's spine turned cold, and the sense of being watched that descended in the dark came again.
"This feeling again, who is spying on me?" Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but speed up his pace.
"You finally came to see me..."
In his ear, the ethereal whisper echoed again.
"It's that voice again!" While speeding up his pace, Zhang Yuanqing said in a low voice: "Battalion Commander, do you hear any sound?"
"No!" Fu Qingyang looked ahead with a cold face, "Remember what I said, don't pay attention to it." Saying that, the always confident Fu Qingyang also quickened his pace, as if he wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
The whisper continued:
"You finally came to see me, Zhang Zizhen."
Zhang Yuanqing's body stiffened and he stopped abruptly.
Zhang Zizhen is his father's name!
