Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 380 Listen to the Wind of the Old Times

The voice came suddenly and sounded familiar.

But when Zhang Ze looked back, he saw no one. The corridor where he came from was empty and no one stopped.

But before Zhang Ze could ask, the voice started again.

"You can't see me?"

This time Zhang Ze did not lose focus and listened carefully, but he still could not figure out the location.

The soft whispers echoed in the room like the clear ripples of a pond, seeming to be everywhere.

Zhang Ze suspected that he had encountered a cyber ghost, but there was no malice in the voice.

Weird.

"I am too stupid to see your true form. I hope you will reveal yourself and explain clearly."

Because he was both dead and alive, Zhang Ze no longer cared about titles. He always treated each other as his own. You called me big brother, and I called you senior. It's up to us.

Zhang Ze bowed and hid his father-in-law's sword with his sleeve.

"Alas, it's troublesome not being able to see." The ghost girl sighed and said, "Sir, don't be nervous. Please put away Cang Yuan first. That sword can't hurt me now."

Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment and thought to himself that the black sword was called Zang Yuan. Junior sister called it "Dad's sword" and "Dad's sword" every day. Zhang Ze thought that the sword had no name.

Now that his plan was seen through, Zhang Ze no longer hid. He took Zang Yuan out openly and protected him in front of himself.

"You and I cannot meet now, and I am not familiar with you. I think you probably won't believe anything I say. Well, let me think about it..." the faint voice pondered.

After a moment, the female ghost seemed to have thought of something, "Oh, right, there is something on you that can prove my identity."

Zhang Ze, "What is it?"

"Don't bother me, sir. I'll take it myself."

This time, the voice floated to Zhang Ze's ears.

Zhang Ze only felt a gust of wind around him, and in a daze, the thing he had been wearing around his waist was taken away by the female ghost.

The treasure bag hanging around his waist floated into the air, flashing with golden light, and was cracked in a moment.

Zhang Ze had just joined the Sword Sect and obtained this treasure bag from the inner chamber when he was still in the outer sect. Because it was so easy to use, he kept it with him all the time and had no intention of replacing it.

Even if there was not enough space inside later, Zhang Ze just threw a few high-level space magic tools in it like nesting dolls. He would rather open it again to take things than not keep this broken treasure bag.

It has a sense of low-key luxury, like wearing a suit under a military coat and hiding a treasure chest in a snakeskin pocket.

The treasure bag opened easily, but the invisible female ghost had no interest in the valuables inside. After searching for a while, she took out a glass concentric ball.

It was a token of trust that Bai Tao gave to Zhang Ze before his departure, and he used it to enter Baidi City.

"Ah, that's it. Don't worry, sir. I'll show up right away."

The treasure bag flew back to Zhang Ze's waist, and the glass ball fell to the ground. The heart-locking bell inside rang softly, and a white shadow revealed its true form in front of Zhang Ze.

A girl in white walked out of nothingness. She was barefoot and her nine tails fluttered behind her like fireworks in the daytime.

"White peach?" Zhang Ze said subconsciously.

"No, sir, you've got the wrong person. I'm Yu Qing."

The shadow of the demon lord Yu Qing bent down to pick up the glass concentric ball on the ground and put it on his wrist, then bowed slightly to Zhang Ze.

Although Yu Qing at this time is almost identical to Bai Tao except for the tail, a closer look reveals that their temperaments are really different.

The person in front of us captivates everyone with every frown and smile, and lives up to the title of Demon Lord.

The one at the back is just a lazy fox who is addicted to novels and has a bit of pica.

"Why are you here? Haven't you become..." Zhang Ze's mind was confused. He really didn't expect to see the fox clan's demon lord here.

The Demon Lord had said that he would boil himself into soup and scatter himself into the aurora between heaven and earth. How come he is here?

Yu Qing's pretty eyebrows curved slightly, and she chuckled softly, "Young Master, you are so smart that you can see through this matter. You guessed correctly, I have indeed transformed into the spiritual energy of this world, and what is before you now is just a wisp of longing."

"Are you dead?" Zhang Ze was stunned.

"Not really. I can change back after a while." Yu Qing's shadow took a step forward, the nine tails swaying gently behind her. She approached Zhang Ze and whispered in her ear, "But judging from your expression, you were reluctant to leave me just now?"

"No, no, I." Zhang Ze took a step back stutteringly.

It’s not that he hasn’t seen bad women before, but he has never seen a bad woman of such a high level.

"Oh, I won't tease you anymore, sir."

Yu Qing took a few steps back and put some distance between herself and Zhang Ze. The charming expression on her face disappeared in an instant, and she looked into Zhang Ze's eyes seriously.

"Since you've come here, I believe you've already recovered some of your memories. You must have many questions about the reasons and the chaos in the northern border. Please follow me, and I will personally explain them to you."

After saying that, Yu Qing turned around, hooked her beautiful tail, and signaled Zhang Ze to follow quickly.

Those who had temporarily snatched the "mouth" from the old thing looked at Yu Qing's back and whispered to Zhang Ze.

"You must stick to your original intention and resist temptation. After all, there's a saying that goes 'undress to relieve temptation'. If you lose your chastity here, you won't be able to explain yourself when you return."

Zhang Ze, "Are you illiterate? That's called undressing, not disrobing. And I don't have any chastity to lose."

No one spoke, because the old man had taken back the "mouth" again.

Following Yu Qing, Zhang Ze came to a quiet room. The interior decoration was elegant and quiet, which was very different from the strange style of other places in the dungeon.

Yuqing sat down opposite the tea table and brewed a pot of tea for Zhang Ze that had been there for who knows how long. Then she stopped keeping the story in suspense and started from the beginning.

But this head seems a little too long.

Yu Qing said, "The demon tribe from the northern border came because of you. This is absolutely true."

Zhang Ze, "?"

Yu Qing said, "Master, please don't misunderstand me. We are not your blood. What I meant was that the first group of demons who migrated to the northern border followed you."

Zhang Ze, "Ahem, please continue. I'm listening."

"Your coming to the Northern Territory was not a break with the founding emperor Xiao Qingyun, but the result of a joint discussion between you and him." Yu Qing spoke in a leisurely voice, squinting his eyes as if he was recalling the past.

"After the founding of Dongqi, the world was not at peace. Bandits were rampant, demons were cannibalistic, and evil cultivators were causing chaos. Xiao Qingyun personally appointed Tianzong, Jianzong, Fomen, and Longhushan as the four major sects of Dongqi to guard the four directions. Only then did the various places gradually settle down.

“It was a long time before the Beast Taming Sect and Medicine King Valley rose to prominence and were collectively known as the Six Sects. Back then, these two sects didn’t even exist.

"After the order was re-established, all those who followed Xiao Qingyun to conquer the world were given fiefs, but there was one family that was very difficult to deal with."

"The Liushan demon tribe?" Zhang Ze asked softly.

Yu Qing, "Exactly."

When the Xiao family rose to power, many demon tribes followed them.

Except for the fox-headed military advisor beside Zhang Ze, who is also Bai Tao's ancestor Bai Xiaosheng, who is an individual entrepreneur, most of the others belong to the Liushan demon clan headed by the old wolf king.

The Liushan demon tribe was different from other demon tribes at the time. They did not like to eat humans and were more rational. However, due to the stereotypes of the time, no one except Zhang Ze was close to them.

After the world was pacified, the Liushan demon tribe also obtained a fiefdom, which was near Mount Baideng where the alliance meeting took place that year.

I don’t know whether Xiao Qingyun did it on purpose or just randomly chose it by rolling the dice.

But the good times did not last long. For unknown reasons, the Liushan demon clan began to degenerate.

"The situation was critical at the time. Even my ancestors were in trouble. To prevent further chaos and friends from killing each other, you went to intercede with Xiao Qingyun and planned to take the Liushan demon tribe to the north for isolation to find a solution.

"Although this matter is called isolation, it is no different from self-reliance and is somewhat sensitive. However, due to your reasons, Xiao Qingyun did not hinder it. Instead, he strongly supported it and provided you with many conveniences.

"After arriving in the northern border, the degeneration of the Liushan demon clan has indeed stopped, but we don't know how to cure it completely." Yu Qing said softly.

Zhang Ze looked at Demon Lord Yu Qing, thinking about the joy of the demon tribe today, and asked, "Looking at the joy of the demon tribe today, I must have succeeded. What did I do back then?"

"Of course." Yu Qing nodded. "You spent ten years unraveling the secret of the demon race's degeneration. Did I say anything wrong?"

Yu Qing was halfway through her words when she saw Zhang Ze's strange expression, wondering what he was thinking about.

Zhang Ze came back to his senses and quickly waved his hand, saying, "It's okay, please continue. I was just expressing my feelings about how I was so amazing back then that I was able to unlock a secret of this level in just ten years."

Yuqing, "."

"It's exactly as our ancestors remembered..."

"It's because the demon race is invisible, and that's why we are easily degraded." Yu Qing continued after a moment of silence.

"Human children are like unpolished jade, their foundation determined from birth. From birth to death, it is merely a process of depiction and carving.

"But the demon race is different. Our children are born with the ability to sense energy and can learn to transform without any instruction. To use an analogy, they are like clay figurines. A light tap or a heavy blow can change their shape, and this lasts their entire lives.

"A little instigation, a change in the earth's atmosphere, knowledge we've learned, gossip, can all affect us.

"It's naturally very difficult to maintain one's true nature, so many demons choose to let nature take its course and be driven by desire. That way, regardless of what others do, at least they can live a carefree and relaxed life."

Looking at Yuqing, Zhang Ze thought of the little white man who emerged after the collapse of the Great Wall in the north.

Zhang Ze, "Those things that emerged from the Great Wall in the North."

Yu Qing, "It is the evil thoughts accumulated by my demon race, but not from the present, but from the past. The transformation of the demon race has long been completed, but there are some things that need to be dealt with slowly."

Yu Qing, "Sir, after you determined the cause of the demon race's degeneration, you began to look for a solution. After all, self-isolation is not a long-term solution." "After trying several methods, you found that although we are easily deceived by evil thoughts, we are also easily influenced by good thoughts. Especially when the demons gather together, or when the number of demons with the same views reaches a certain level, they will influence each other.

"So you thought of the Human Emperor Flag."

Yuqing, "You said that this thing is not meant to tempt people to fall into depravity. The broken flag is just an echo wall, an amplifier.

“If evil thoughts are nurtured in one’s heart, one will naturally fall into depravity even if one holds the imperial flag.

"With the light of righteousness in one's heart and the imperial flag in one's hand, one can educate the world."

Zhang Ze, "Then I was..."

Yu Qing seemed to have thought of something interesting and chuckled, "According to our ancestors, you just strolled around with that broken flagpole every day, doing your job as a county magistrate, chatting with people everywhere, guiding the construction of buildings, and guiding the farming.

"You said this is called cadres going to the countryside."

"What happened next?" Zhang Ze also laughed, thinking to himself that this was indeed something he could do.

But just strolling around with a stick will not allow you to reach this system home that has been passed down to this day, and this double yolk egg family.

Yu Qing poured another cup of tea for Zhang Ze, "Sir, you said that you couldn't live forever, and that even this life of leaning on a stick and facing the wall would eventually come to an end, so you went to find Xiao Qingyun again.

"As the founding emperor of Dongqi, he has the ability to do anything."

"With Xiao Qingyun's assistance, those demons who had not fallen too deeply and had no blood debts were sent to the northern border in large numbers. At the same time, he secretly sent spies to help you gather relevant clues about the Human Emperor Flag, so as to find a way to solve the demon scourge once and for all."

"I found a solution?" Zhang Ze asked.

"No." Yu Qing shook her head. "But the solution presented itself to me."

"Young Master, do you still remember the trip to Liang and Song?" Yu Qing asked.

"Remember, I stole a cow from Liu Daozi." Zhang Ze remembered this incident clearly.

Yu Qing didn't know how to respond for a moment. She sighed and said, "I'm not talking about this. I'm asking if you still remember the evil creature with the Nine Snakes that you encountered on your way back."

Zhang Ze thought for a while before he remembered what the monster called Jiuhui was.

That thing is the companion of the Human Emperor Flag, a tentacle monster with bared fangs and claws hiding in the fog.

The ancestor of Liang and Song, whose flag was discovered, was fostered in a lake. On the way Zhang Ze escaped from the capital of Liang and Song and returned to Baiyu County, he was trapped by the Nine Snakes for a while.

Zhang Ze suspected that the Jiuhui was a subspecies of Fuji, but when asked later, Fuji said she didn't know.

"I remember now, what's wrong?" Zhang Ze nodded.

Yu Qing, "That monster came all the way to the north to avenge you, and it nearly caused a disaster."

"To prevent the demon race from being affected by it, you brought the battlefield to this far north icy plain. You severed one of the Nine Snakes' roots, and while pursuing the remaining Nine Snakes, you discovered a natural cave."

"Shidan?" Zhang Ze asked subconsciously.

"That's right." Yu Qing nodded, "Jiuhu has disappeared, and you found several stone pills in that natural cave.

"After bringing it back, the stone pill shattered, and these star gods were born. Oh, these are the names you gave them back then, young master. You said they sounded nice."

Yuqing looked at the group behind Zhang Ze who were sticking together with the old man to form a three-yolked egg.

"With the help of the Star God, the speed of cracking the Human Emperor Flag began to accelerate. Finally, you found the magic method left by the Human Emperor in the deepest part of the Human Emperor Flag.

"The Human Emperor created all the laws of the human race and spread himself between heaven and earth. This law is recorded in the Human Emperor's flag.

“The Beast Taming Sect calls it the Soul Fusion Technique.

"With this soul fusion technique, you have come up with a permanent solution."

After Yu Qing finished speaking, she paused, giving Zhang Ze enough time to think.

Zhang Ze tilted his head to look at Tuanjie, who became mouthless again and was shaking the egg yolk.

It means it doesn't know, doesn't remember, has never heard of this, and can't remember anything.

"Please continue." Zhang Ze said to Yuqing.

Yu Qing nodded, then stretched out her hand and pointed, and the illusion of mountains and rivers was outlined by her.

A thumbnail of the entire Northern Continent appeared in front of Zhang Ze.

With the Arctic ice field as the core and the Northern Great Wall as the ring, a huge magic circle with the Northern Continent as its foundation was outlined.

Yuqing waved the map to Zhang Ze.

Zhang Ze frowned and looked at it, and found that this magic circle was interesting, as if it had a cyclical meaning.

After tilting his head and looking for a long time, he suddenly realized what was going on. He thought to himself that it was worthy of him and he was really amazing.

In his eyes, this continental magic circle was like an oversized washing machine.

Baidi City is a groove for laundry detergent, and there is laundry detergent inside.

I don't know what the laundry detergent is yet.

The veins and cities throughout the northern border are like the drum of a washing machine. They spin and spin, constantly purifying the souls of the demons and spreading the light of righteousness to them.

As for the Great Wall, it is the filter of a washing machine. Its function is to prevent the evil thoughts that have been "washed" from drifting to the human territory, and to slowly purify them.

This thing was obviously not built overnight. It seemed that in the years after his death in his previous life, the demons had been carrying out this great project to save the fate of their own clan under the command of the three demon lords.

Combined with the three cultivation paths that stabilize the demon race's mind, we have today's sunny and happy demon race, which is more cheerful the more people there are.

Yu Qing, “After your death, your research results and authority were handed over to the White Emperor.

"It was the White Emperor who led the demon race, using the Northern Continent as his base, and inherited your legacy to build this magic array to purify the demon race. He also helped the demon race deduce three stable paths."

"The original purpose of this place was simply to deduce the path of the demon race, but as time passed, it gradually became what it is today."

Zhang Ze sat across the table, stirring the thousand-year-old tea in front of him with his spiritual energy. Although what Yu Qing said did solve many of his doubts, there were still many things that Yu Qing did not explain.

Who is Baidi? Why was Baidi City destroyed? After his death, who stood before him and faced the wall to purify the demons? How did he survive? What did the founder of Longhu Mountain steal? What is the solution to the Xiao family's problems?

"Who is Baidi? Could it be that he is not dead but alive today?" Zhang Zexian picked up an important question and asked.

But unexpectedly, Yuqing shook her head.

"The White Emperor is immortal, but I don't know who he is."

"Aren't you the Demon Lord? You were also an eyewitness to what happened back then. How could you not know?" Zhang Ze was puzzled.

Yu Qing, "Sir, you have misunderstood. I have never met you. I was not a witness to what happened back then."

"What I just said is just some inherited memories."

Zhang Ze, "But aren't you immortals?"

Yu Qing laughed and said, "It's half true, half false, just some made-up stories to fool people.

"At first, it was just to scare off the villains who were spying on the northern border. Later, since everyone believed it, we might as well keep it up."

"Three demon lords, Qiangliang has long passed away, and there is no one to carry on the path of the Unborn.

"As for our clan, our ancestor Bai Xiaosheng, grateful for the young master's kindness in recognizing and nurturing us in Baiyu County, named his daughter Bai Yuqing, the first generation of the Fox Clan's Demon Lord. The subsequent generations of Fox Clan's Demon Lords all adopted her name, omitting the clan surname, and became Yuqing."

Yu Qing looked at Zhang Ze and said, "You've also met Bai Tao. Although she's a bit playful now, her potential is limitless. When I'm gone, she'll be the next Yu Qing."

"But she doesn't have a tail." Zhang Ze imagined what Bai Tao would look like when she became Yu Qing, but he couldn't imagine it after thinking for a long time.

I can only imagine her slumped in a recliner, reading a book and eating snacks.

Yuqing seemed to have the same idea as Zhang Ze. She sighed imperceptibly and skipped the topic.

Yu Qing said seriously, "There is only one true immortal in the demon race, and that is Wang Siwen, the demon lord of the Liushan Wolf Clan.

"She has lived through the chaotic Ten Kingdoms era until today. If anyone knows everything, besides the White Emperor, it's only her."

Zhang Ze frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong. He raised his hand to interrupt Yu Qing's narration, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Wait a minute, if I'm not mistaken, Baidi and Wang Siwen should be in Baidi City right now.

"Since the truth lies with them, why didn't you let me go directly, but instead summoned me here through the police?"

This is what Zhang Ze couldn't understand.

Yu Qing looked at Zhang Ze, "Sir, who do you think is the source of this chaos in the northern border?"

"Emperor Xiao Jing's hairy legs?" Zhang Ze frowned.

Yu Qing rarely showed a look of disdain, "It doesn't deserve it."

Zhang Ze, "Could it be..."

Yuqing nodded, her expression helpless and strange.

"The chaos in the northern border was all caused by Sister Wang."

"She is biting people now. Look, sir, I was bitten by her."

Yu Qing's shadow rolled up her sleeves, revealing her white forearm, showing the teeth marks that had just been drawn on it, and reported to Zhang Ze.

Zhang Ze, "?"
