Qin Fan still looked a little surprised at Yun Hongce's proactive expression of cooperation.
He understands a certain trait of smart people, which is an unwillingness to admit defeat.
It is also because of the support of this spirit that these counselors and strategists can quickly come up with good strategies to break the situation in dangerous situations.
But today's Chiluo Demon Kingdom has not yet encountered some kind of crisis that is about to destroy it, and its power is at its peak, so Yun Hongce can definitely use this to gain some say.
Even if Qin Fan single-handedly led the situation to this point, the guessed information he allowed Yun Hongce to see has not yet been completely transformed into a sharp blade hanging above the Chiluo Demon Kingdom. Therefore, the opponent actually
You can argue with reason first.
Qin Fan even thought about how to convince him further.
But Yun Hongce's unexpected compromise made all his long-prepared words useless.
And soon Qin Fan also figured out the reason. The other party really cared about the Chiluo Demon Kingdom and the lives of those demons, so he would not bet on the risks and pros and cons that would appear in the future. He would only take the worst possible chance.
to analyze.
So at this time, bowing to the ghost market for help is undoubtedly the best choice.
Then Qin Fan sighed lightly and said:
"I now somewhat believe that the persona you created is your true personality, Red Emperor, you are very lucky."
Yun Hongce frowned slightly and said:
"Ghost Lord, you should know that time is not on our side, so let's stop with some emotions here. Today is the second day that Tianzhihen appears. Before those explorers from the outer world can sort out the situation in the mountain and sea world, we must take a preemptive strike.
.
So, how do you need the Demonic Kingdom to cooperate next?"
"Are you sure that I already have the draft in mind?" Qin Fan chuckled, then took out a chessboard and placed it on the table between the two of them. "You are a little confused. These nineteen tricks can help you."
Stabilize your mind.
Besides, I also want to see the strength of the great scribe among the demons."
"Do you know that I followed the literary path? Logically speaking, I should not have been exposed." Yun Hongce picked up a sunspot, and at Qin Fan's signal, he dropped it on the corner. At this moment, his heart was indeed
It became quiet.
Without waiting for Qin Fan's explanation, he had already thought of the answer.
"My only flaw was that during the battle at the border, I used my literary spirit to cover up my traces. So I should have carefully cleaned the battlefield afterwards. Was it Shopkeeper Xia who discovered this clue?"
"Yes, of course there is another point. Your demon bloodline is not pure enough. If you follow the path of some demonic skills, your progress will definitely be too slow. But in that battle, neither 'Rain' nor 'Wind'
I sense some threat in you that is no less than the Shadow of the Dead God.
That’s why ‘Yu’ went back to investigate after sending you to the ghost market.”
Qin Fan's eyes rested on the small silver horn on Yun Hongce's forehead. Compared with other orthodox demons, this small horn was too inconspicuous. The length of the opposite horns of the Red Emperor was exaggerated and terrifying.
During this period of time, members of the Ghost Market sneaked into the Far West Demon Realm to investigate, and Qin Fan already knew that this was a standard for measuring the purity of demon blood.
In addition, this well-known military advisor's daily hobby is to collect ancient scrolls and ancient books, so it is easy to guess that he followed the path of literature, and the way of being a minister is also a kind of practice in this system.
There are also limitations along the way in this literary world. Those who serve as ministers cannot be respected, otherwise they will suffer backlash.
This can easily explain a flaw, that is, even though the Red Emperor may have been vaguely aware that Yun Hongce had too much power, he did not check or balance it, or was worried that the other party would threaten his life.
After all, if Yun Hongce was truly self-reliant, he himself would be useless.
For a group like the Demons, who are supreme in power, even if you have enough wisdom to turn the tide, you cannot be so weak that you cannot even beat a child.
"But based on the cultural heritage of the demon clan, this road for you should be very difficult."
Yun Hongce nodded slightly and said:
"Reading can enlighten the mind, reading can make sense, and reading can cure stupidity. As the brain of the Chiluo Demon Kingdom, I must accept the collision of those cultural ideas, so that I can find a way out for the demons.
The concept of great unification is what was recorded in the ancient scrolls I found in an abandoned secret realm, and this is how the Red Demon Kingdom was created.
But it's a pity that the demons don't pay much attention to books. Most of them are literate just to understand the demonic techniques, but few people study the hidden meaning of a line of words. This also leads to some ancient books being treated as garbage.
The same littering.
This situation did not improve until the Demon Kingdom was established."
"Oh? According to you, this situation is worse than I expected. So you can step into the sky because you adhere to the way of being a minister?" Qin Fan looked at the other party and asked after dropping a white piece.
Yun Hongce nodded and replied:
"I have accumulated a lot of literary talent through reading before. After the Demon Kingdom was established, I really broke through the shackles."
"Then will you follow the royal path or the domineering path?"
"What is kingly way? What is domineering?" Yun Hongce raised his head and looked at Qin Fan in confusion.
Qin Fan was slightly surprised and said:
"It's really an accident that you can cultivate to this point."
After Qin Fan learned that Hua Lianxing had turned to the literary world, he found a large number of books on the literary system through the factions in the court, as well as the libraries of the Yuan family and the Xie family.
The division of realms inside is still very interesting.
Those who cannot read the resonance of heaven and earth are collectively called scribes.
However, due to the accumulation of literary energy in the body, the performance of the strength is also extremely different.
Reaching the realm of Bailihong, the master of the Wen Sheng Temple, is a great scribe, which can also be called the celestial realm. However, compared to a warrior who adds the power of heaven and earth to his moves, this great scribe has a better understanding of the rules.
High, the combat power displayed is also more difficult.
However, this weakness is also more obvious. The great scribe is more fragile than the magic mage, and his means of self-protection are much less than that of the magic mage.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this moment, Yun Hongce's speed of making moves was much slower, and he smiled bitterly and said:
“Being able to accumulate cultural energy and cultivate spiritual power in my body was only achieved through my own exploration based on the information recorded in some fragments of ancient books.
As for the way of being a minister you mentioned, I only knew how to break through it in an ancient book given by His Majesty the Red Emperor.
As for the difference between the kingly way and the domineering way, I have never heard of it before. The information recorded in that book only tells how I should abide by the way of being a minister, as well as some of the taboos, and some methods of using literary style.
After reaching the level of Great Scribes, I first realized the mastery of rules and the mobilization of the power of heaven and earth."
"You are a genius." Qin Fan said with some emotion. The other party basically crossed the river by feeling the stones based on some fragments of articles, and then with a little luck, he successfully embarked on the path of literature.
And to be able to cultivate to the level of a great scribe is already a miracle.
"After this conversation, I will increase your authority level in the Ghost City. The 20th to 29th floors of this Underworld Tower will be the library of my Ghost City. Then you can read some books on your own without spending any money.
Books you can read by donating points.”
"Thank you." Yun Hongce stood up and bowed solemnly.
"Let me first explain to you the difference between kingliness and hegemony." Qin Fan motioned Yun Hongce to sit down, then twisted a white coin in his hand and said, "If a minister of kingship is at odds with his ministers, he will choose a tactful way to persuade the monarch.
Or the monarch is helpless, and the overbearing minister means that no matter what the monarch's will is, the monarch must listen to himself, and if he doesn't listen, he must force the monarch to act according to his wishes.
I didn't know before that this kingly and domineering influence would have on the scribes themselves, but I have collected some information in the past two days and learned that this is the key to the next step for the great scribes.
And depending on your own knowledge, and by reading the books in my ghost city later, you may be able to accumulate a lot of your own literary talent, and there is a certain probability of a direct breakthrough.
So you need to think carefully now."
Yun Hongce was silent.
He seemed to be thinking, but actually he was trying to figure out Qin Fan's intentions.
The two of them seemed to be playing chess to calm their minds at the moment, but they didn't say a word of nonsense. The previous foreshadowing was also to guide themselves to think about the next step.
Then he quickly guessed Qin Fan's thoughts.
"If I break through, my strength will surpass His Majesty the Red Emperor in one fell swoop. This royal minister is likely to limit his own hands and feet, and will also arouse His Majesty's fear due to the improvement of my realm, thus leading to the cooperation between our Demon Kingdom and the Ghost City.
Some gaps occur.
And if I become a domineering minister, I will go against my own will. But the advantage of doing this is that the alliance between the Demon Kingdom and the Ghost City will not cause unnecessary trouble in the future.
And with my methods, I can avoid internal friction in advance, but this will wrong His Majesty the Red Emperor, because he has to become a puppet."
"Isn't he now?" Qin Fan chuckled, "And don't forget, there are still some hidden dangers within your Demon Kingdom. As far as I know, this Demon Kingdom was established not long ago because there was no concept of a unified country before.
, this has also led to some old ministers of the forces being ready to seek opportunities for restoration."
"Ghost Lord, can you state your purpose clearly?"
"I just want to get to know you better, so I remind you of this decision that you will have to face sooner or later." After Qin Fan made a move, he shook his head slightly and said, "This game is over, and your mood seems to be even more chaotic.
"
Yun Hongce looked at the chessboard blankly, he had indeed lost.
In the middle of saying this, his mind was no longer on the chessboard.
Immediately, Qin Fan put away the chessboard and chess pot in front of him.
"Let's talk business."
"Now?" If Yun Hongce was in the most stable state of mind when he first played chess, then the time would be the most suitable to discuss business matters. But now, compared to before, when he was struggling with how to bow to Qin Fan, his state of mind was even more serious.
Oops.
"Well, first of all, I need you to help me rescue someone."
"Rescue?"
"Ah Da of the Demon Sect, after the battle at the border, he found that he was being secretly monitored and his movements were also subject to some restrictions."
Qin Fan's expression under the mask was a little gloomy.
After the Demon Sect's name disappeared from the alliances that confirmed the power panel, he immediately contacted Ada.
But the result was just as he and Yun Hongce said, Ada had been placed under house arrest.
As for Jiuda Mo, according to what Ah Da said, his cultivation speed in the Demon Sect has been rapid, and his ideology has become more and more consistent with the concepts of the Demon Sect.
And Qin Fan's previous life-saving grace was no longer important compared to the so-called righteousness.
Of course, Jiu Bodhidharma has not openly turned against him, but Ah Da has noticed that he can no longer be the same as before, favoring the ghost market.
Even because of the emergence of Ashoka, he had some more complaints and opinions in private regarding the dispute over the belief in Buddhism.
Qin Fan was not too surprised by this.
After all, after helping Wang Chongyang and Jiu Bodhidharma, who were golden corpses, to unblock them, their first thoughts when they escaped were to repay their kindness, but they had no intention of loyalty. This shows that at the beginning, each Buddha knew their own intentions.
A target cannot be bound to a force just because of so-called favor.
In the battle at the top of the Sword Mountain, Jiu Damo also contributed a lot, including later cooperating with Ah Da to coerce Zhishan to unblock the Demon Suppressing Tower. This kind of kindness was almost cleared up.
Later, when the battle of faith was involved, it made him realize that he and Gui Shi were not on the same journey. Therefore, after joining the Demon Sect, which he recognized more, it was very reasonable for Jiu Bodhidharma to take advantage of the situation and end his relationship with Gui Shi.
Then if they meet on the battlefield later, they will definitely be killed.
Now Qin Fan just pretends that he doesn't exist, and is only thinking about how to get Ah Da out.
Compared to Jiu Bodhisattva, Ah Da's goal was very pure. At the beginning, it was to prove that demons like himself were not aliens, but later he discovered that the entire tantric sect was alien, but he was exposed too early.
In this case, his obsession has long been resolved.
Helping the Demon Sect come into being was a way of repaying the debt of being taught by the Tantric Sect before. He stayed there since then because the alliance between the Demon Sect and the Ghost City needed a person like him.
And in his heart, he has long wanted to return to Wuyou Villa. After all, he knows where his real home is.
In the end, after finally receiving Qin Fan's order, he was put under house arrest by the Golden Demons from the Demon Sect. Now he really felt that enough was enough.
After hearing what Qin Fan said, Yun Hongce fell into thinking again. Even though his mood was a bit chaotic, he still discovered some problems.
"Is the existence of the Demon Sect reasonable?"
"Um?"
"I mean those people outside the world. What do they think of this demon sect who is dedicated to Buddha?"
"Anyone who worships Buddha can become a Buddha. According to my current understanding of Tianwai, there are no racial distinctions in the Buddhist Kingdom of Ten Thousand Frontiers. Everything depends on sincerity and belief in the Buddha's Dharma."
"The Buddhist Kingdom of Ten Thousand Borders?"
"The extraterrestrial forces behind Buddha Earth." Qin Fan paused and said, "They are the top forces."
"So those of us who are demons who are banned in the Demonic Territory in the Far West, including the existence of the Demon Sect, may actually be the targets that the Wanjiang Buddhist Kingdom wants to convert. No, the Demon Sect now has more Buddhist sects than ordinary temples.
Apparently, they have succeeded.
Therefore, we, the Red Devil, will be in danger next!"
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Help you save people and destroy the Demon Sect at the same time!"
