Ao Shang's face could not help but darken slightly.
As an old antique who has survived since the days of heavenly rule, no one understands the power of the Golden Wheel of Merit better than him.
Zhang Ke's move is clearly a reverse threat.
But Ao Shang really couldn't ignore this threat. Zhang Ke's strength was obvious.
Once such a person cannot be completely killed, no matter who in the world offends him, he will probably not be able to sleep peacefully in the future.
It seems that death can no longer threaten this person, so we can only find another way.
Thinking of this, Ao Shang raised his head and laughed.
He waved his hands casually and said:
"Little friend Ruyi, don't do this. Although heaven is not here, there are laws between heaven and earth.
Even I don’t dare to act recklessly, I’m just joking with you.”
As he spoke, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed with his thoughts, and the big waves of the Wei River that were about to break out of the "Wind Ski Mountain" also receded.
Just for a moment, peace returned to heaven and earth.
If it weren't for the scenes of floods raging everywhere in the Suguang Plain, the previous scene would have been like a dream.
Zhang Ke was greatly relieved. He didn't want to die unless he had to.
With a thought in his mind, he hid the 'Golden Wheel of Merit', and when he saw Qing Yi's complacent eyes filled with surprise, he couldn't help but laugh.
Speaking of which, he really didn't take this 'Golden Wheel of Merit' seriously when it was being condensed.
But he never expected that his biggest external deterrent now is this light wheel that seems to be meaningless for improving his strength.
It was once to destroy the Dao Lord, and now it is another time to face the Dragon Clan Dao Lord.
Ao Shang turned around and sat down in front of the desk. Zhang Ke sat beside him silently.
He had a hunch that this matter might not be settled so easily.
Sure enough, as soon as the two sat down, Ao Shang said:
"I got a treasure recently. I haven't been in the world for many years. I would like to ask my little friend to help me taste it."
As he said that, he raised his palm slightly, Qing Yi glanced at Zhang Ke, but hesitated and made no move.
Ao Shang's face darkened and he shouted:
"Bring it!"
Qing Yi had no choice but to take out a golden wrist bell from his sleeve.
This is a wrist bell wrapped around the foot, woven from several different gold threads, with three small emerald-colored bells the size of little fingers hanging on it that are particularly eye-catching.
Zhang Ke just swept away his mind, stood up suddenly, and shouted in shock and anger:
"How dare you do this?"
He was most familiar with this object. It was the object worn on Shan Qianhui's feet. In the past, when the two of them enjoyed the pleasure of fish and water, this object was quite entertaining. How could he not recognize it.
Ao Shang smiled slowly and said:
"Little friend, don't be anxious. Little friend Shan is currently a guest in my Dragon Palace. I will not neglect it if I have many children and grandchildren accompanying me."
Dragon nature is inherently lustful, and the threat in Ao Shang's words is self-evident.
Zhang Ke looked at Ao Shang, then at Qing Yi, and sneered:
"So this is the dragon clan that is famous for its nobility?
Haha! I’ve learned a lot!”
Qing Yi's face turned red with embarrassment, and she lowered her head and did not dare to look at Zhang Ke.
Zhang Ke sat down slowly and pondered for a while. He turned the palm of his right hand over and a golden bamboo cage was held in his palm.
Place it gently on the table and press the top of the bamboo cage with one finger.
In the cage, a krait curled up in a ball, dying.
Previously, the [Golden Bamboo Cage] was placed in the natal talisman by Zhang Ke, and even Ao Shang had no way of knowing the whereabouts of Diao Pan'er.
At this moment, there is no barrier, and the resonance of the original bloodline instantly resonates with each other.
"Shua——!"
The krait in the cage suddenly raised its head and was very excited when it saw the scene outside the cage.
His body trembled, and he wanted to move, but the shadow cast by the golden strips completely immobilized him. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't move even half a step, and he screamed urgently.
Ao Shang glanced at the krait in the cage, and his anger rose in his heart.
A dignified descendant of the dragon clan is now locked and trapped in this cage like an animal. It really loses the dignity of the dragon clan.
"Haha! My little friend, now..."
Zhang Ke interrupted Ao Shang's words.
"No rush! I don't know something. How did Lord Dao know that I would be here today?"
As early as when he was wandering in the void, Zhang Ke used divination methods such as 'Ziwei Dou Shu', 'Plum Blossom Easy Count', 'Six Yao Shu Shu' and other divination methods to interfere with the secrets of heaven. He would not be subject to others' calculations and investigations.
Being blocked in the tea shop by Qing Yi this time really made him a little uneasy.
Ao Shang smiled and said:
"I have a great wish treasure. You can make a wish on it and get some kind of information.
Through the interception of the long river of time, I can know anything I want to know in advance."
The reason why he explained to Zhang Ke was not just to clear up confusion, but to create another kind of threat.
Zhang Ke breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
The treasures of cause and effect are the most mysterious, but they also have their own rules and restrictions, so it will not be easy to use them.
Even though Ao Shang was a Dao Lord, he probably paid a heavy price for this.
This is indeed true. In order to show Ruyi's movements, Ao Shang even had his life span cut off for hundreds of years.
But that great wish treasure was temporarily borrowed by Ao Shang from a demon clan.
This demon tribe's name is the 'Green Bamboo Great Sage'. He was trained as a demon by a green bamboo snake and is now the demon ancestor.
The relationship between the Great Sage Qingzhu and Diao Paner is unusual.
The reason why Madam Mi Shen has the word "Madam" in her name is because she had already become a Taoist companion with the Great Sage Qingzhu before she was banned.
You must know that the Great Sage Qingzhu at that time was only a great demon in the Yuanshen realm.
Two banshees actually formed a Taoist couple, which was unprecedented and caused an uproar in the entire demon clan.
When Diao Pan'er's mother found a snake, the Dragon Clan was extremely angry. Unexpectedly, her daughter went so far that she even ignored her gender and directly found someone of the same sex as her Taoist companion.
For this reason, the Dragon Clan felt ashamed.
Expelled Diao Pan'er from the Dragon Clan and left him to fend for himself.
Later, Qingzhu discovered that Diao Paner liked to devour humans. After many attempts to dissuade him failed, the two demons broke up.
However, although the two demons broke up, Diao Pan'er always considered herself to be the wife of the Great Sage Qingzhu.
A month ago, Ao Shang, who lived in the Wei River, suddenly felt an impulse. After a little calculation, he learned that Diao Pan'er had encountered a catastrophe.
But he tried every possible means to figure out Diao Pan'er's whereabouts but could not find it.
In desperation, he went to find the Great Sage Qingzhu and begged her for help.
Seeing a past friendship, the Great Sage Qingzhu lent the great wish treasure [Ruyi Mirror of Reflection] to Ao Shang for use.
And Ao Shang paid the price of losing his longevity to see Zhang Kehui appear here today in the long river of time.
The situation here is very complicated, and Ao Shang is not prepared to explain it to Zhang Ke one by one.
After listening to Ao Shang's account, Zhang Ke nodded slightly, but did not release the krait.
Suddenly he said:
"Before, Mr. Dao told this junior a story about Madam Mi Shen, so this junior should also tell a story!"
Ao Shang frowned, but still smiled and said:
"Okay! I'm all ears then."
Zhang Ke opened his eyes full of white shadows and said slowly:
"Three hundred years ago, when I was traveling, I was suddenly captured by a big snake in an inn.
The big snake placed the junior and numerous human beings in a bamboo basket.
Eat one person each morning and evening.
And this process lasted for thirty-three days."
Ao Shang's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect that Zhang Ke actually had a personal grudge with Diao Pan'er. Now he was in trouble.
Just listen to Zhang Ke continue:
"During those thirty-three days, the juniors will have to go through a test of life and death every day.
In order to survive, the younger generation abandoned their dignity and committed various ugly acts.
Rolling in feces and urine, crawling and walking like a snake, the list goes on and on.
In order not to be chosen and eaten by the big snake.
During this period, the big snake poured countless medicines into the bamboo basket, and the junior's eyes and ears were damaged at that time..."
Qing Yi listened with rapt attention and couldn't help but look into Zhang Kebai's eyes.
"... Later, it was the two ancestors of the junior sect who blocked the big snake and rescued me with the determination to hurt both sides."
Madam Mi Shen in the golden bamboo cage also listened quietly. At this moment, she finally understood who the person in front of her was.
The innate Qi of the Southern Sect Ruyi Zhenjun Zhang Ke!
The person I have been most afraid of in the past hundred years.
Just listen to Zhang Ke continue:
“Although the junior was rescued at that time, he was actually very desperate.
Because of those thirty-three days of torture, a huge shadow was cast in this junior's heart.
I can't concentrate, so I can't practice meditation. Once I fall asleep, I dream of being bitten by a big snake and chewed up like sugar cane.
As a practitioner in the Xiantian realm, you cannot see, hear, or practice, which also means the path is cut off.
If it were Dao Lord, would he let that big snake go when given the chance?"
Ao Shang sighed and said:
"Won't!"
Zhang Ke smiled "haha" and turned to look at the krait in the cage.
The white eyes without any emotion made Madam Mi Shen's heart tremble.
For the first time, I regretted my actions.
She regretted that she should not have let Zhang Ke go in the first place. If she had eaten him in one bite with serious injuries, she would not have fallen into his hands today.
Zhang Ke seemed to feel the regret of Madam Mi Shen.
He turned his head and said word by word:
"Do you know, Mr. Dao, why I didn't kill Madam Mi Shen in revenge when I caught her?"
Ao Shang shook his head and said nothing.
Qing Yi looked at Zhang Ke with some sympathy and put himself in his shoes. If he had suffered such a hardship, he would not easily let go of the person who hurt him.
Zhang Ke did not tell the answer directly, but said to Ao Shang:
"Master Dao, this junior has now reached the realm of Yuanshen. If you want to continue to improve, there must be no obstacles in your mind.
Madam Mi Shen is the demonic barrier in the heart of this junior. If this junior lets her go so easily today, the future path may be cut off.
We are all practitioners, and we should know what kind of hatred it is to block the way!"
Ao Shang waved his hand and said:
"Okay, I understand what you mean.
You don't want to let Pan'er go, even if it costs Shan Qianhui's life.
right?"
Zhang Ke shook his head and said:
"No, Qian Hui's life is the most important, but the path of the younger generation is also very important.
It's better to compromise.
The younger generation changed Madam Mi Shen into the appearance of an ordinary snake, and then found thirty-three snakes and put them together.
Then the junior randomly selected thirty-three of them and ate them in front of Daojun.
If Mrs. Mi Shen can escape this disaster in the end, it will be her luck, and I will hand her back to Lord Dao.
I wonder what your wishes are?"
Qing Yi couldn't help but shake her head.
How is this possible, not being selected thirty-three times in a row, unless God is blessing me.
Even the krait in the golden bamboo cage shook its head desperately, obviously not even it thought that it could escape the selection.
Ao Shang frowned and said:
"Isn't this too harsh?"
Zhang Ke smiled slightly.
"It's not harsh. This is how the junior survived. Since the junior can do it, others should be able to do it too."
"this..."
Ao Shang couldn't help but be speechless by Zhang Ke's words.
