The real young master is also the real devil

Zhou family

Gaodu County, Qingshan Town.

In the wine shop, several monks wearing cassocks and holding spirit swords were talking in low voices:

"Have you heard? The Zhou family has captured Daoist Yao Ling!"

"Brother Zhao is serious? Why didn't I hear the slightest rumor?"

"Of course it's true, Yuanzhuwu's large array is activated, just to prevent him from escaping!"

"Then how do you think the Zhou family will treat him this week?"

"I don't think so. Daoist Yao Ling is the master of the Primordial Mystery Realm no matter what. Besides, he took revenge on so many people but missed the Zhou family. Obviously, he still has friendship."

"Brother Zhao is right."

A few meters away, the few people who heard the movement here looked at each other, checked out and left the restaurant.

The old man in the head looked serious, but the young man behind him looked anxious: "Third Master Uncle, do you think their news is true?"

Third Master Uncle: "We have been inquiring for so long and there is no news of Zhilin. We follow the clues to get here, and we are [-]% sure."

These people were the third uncle Shi and the few remaining disciples of the Shi family. Since Shi Zhilin went to Tianshan, they lost contact.Within two days, everyone knew that Shi Zhilin killed his master, and rumors that he could defeat a hundred with one enemy, and a hundred families of the immortal sect could not stop him alone. They rushed to the foot of Tianshan Mountain, but failed. I found Shi Zhilin.

It has been more than a month since then, and they still had no news of Zhilin, until a few days ago when they heard that Zhilin had appeared in Qingshan Town, they followed the clues and rushed over.

A little disciple said: "I don't believe it, the young master is talented and talented, how could that mob of the Zhou family catch him!"

Another disciple also nodded: "The young master has so many life-saving spiritual weapons and the secret realm of primordial Meng, there is no way he will be caught, no matter how bad he is, he can't be caught if he opens the secret realm and hides in!"

The disciple walking beside the third uncle did not speak. Like the third uncle, he also felt that Shi Zhilin was probably taken away by the Zhou family.

"Third Master Uncle." The eldest disciple said: "The Zhou family's great formation has not been opened for a thousand years. Once it is opened, even the ancestors of the tribulation period will not be able to trespass. How can we get in?"

The third uncle looked worried, sighed and said, "I'll think of a way."

On the other side, in the darkroom of Yuanzhuwu.

The boy with messy black hair was trapped in a space by the formation. He couldn't see his fingers when he opened his eyes, and he could only hear the sound of water droplets falling.

With a creak, the door of the secret room was twisted and pushed open, and a young man in green clothes appeared in the room, but the young man in the formation still sat expressionlessly, as if he didn't know anyone was coming.

Seeing Shi Zhilin sitting quietly with his head bowed, Zhou Yun smiled coldly: "Unexpectedly, you also have today."

Hearing the voice, the boy raised his head: "Who is with you."

Zhou Yun saw that his face remained unchanged, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and he quickly suppressed it, and said to the people on the side: "Brother Yun Fang, you have also seen that Shi Qian has lost all his spiritual power, and it is difficult to move. There is no way to escape from being imprisoned here, and my father and I have no objection if you want him, but you have to agree to the conditions we talked about before."

Yun Fang's voice was hoarse: "Did you hurt him?"

Zhou Yun smiled: "I finally caught it, can't I vent my anger? Besides, I only suffered some flesh wounds to him. My father planned to use him to sacrifice my family's banner. In his hands, he has long since lost his bones."

Yun Fang was silent for a long time, Zhou Yun was suspicious: "Brother Yun Fang?"

Yun Fang: "Have you heard the rumors from the outside world?"

It took Zhou Yun a while to answer: "I heard." After a pause, he asked: "Brother Yun Fang, do you think the rumors are true?"

Yun Fang: "Whether it's true or not, you won't know until you try it."

Zhou Yun was curious: "How to try?"

Yun Fang only said: "Tell Uncle Zhou, I agree to his deal."

After the two finished speaking, the door of the secret room opened again, and just as they were about to go out, the young man's hoarse voice sounded: "What are the rumors outside?"

Both of them paused, Yun Fang didn't speak, Zhou Yun smiled maliciously: "His Royal Highness is a thousand nobles, and he was born as a first-class master. I thought God was unfair, why is it so good?" It’s all taken up by you, now that I think about it, I just feel that everything needs to be balanced, and the same goes for gains and losses, your current fate is already doomed.”

Yun Fang said coldly, "Don't talk to him too much."

Zhou Yun choked, shut his mouth unexpectedly, and flung his sleeves out of the secret room first.

Yun Fang was half a step behind, turned his head to look at Shi Zhilin, and left too.

The door of the secret room was closed again, and in the darkness, Shi Zhilin's eyes fell precisely on the spot under his feet, without moving his brows, he picked up the hidden jade slip.

Yun Qi's slightly crying voice appeared in his consciousness: "Brother Zhilin, if you endure for a few more days, I will definitely rescue you."

Shi Zhilin's eyebrows moved slightly, and Zhou Yun said that the man who had lost his spiritual power effortlessly crushed and annihilated the jade slips bit by bit.When he closed his eyes again, he was distracted and appeared in the Black Bamboo Fort in Yuanzhuwu.

Ever since he remembered the origin of the semi-celestial artifact that Patriarch Zhou had brought out that he had never heard of before, Shi Zhilin had an idea.This semi-immortal artifact may not be well-known in Kyushu, but Shi Zhilin, who was born in the Shi family, has seen it in ancient books recording immortal artifacts.

This celestial artifact is called Qingying Banner. It is said that it was once the magic weapon of Daoist Yuanhua. When he ascended, he resisted the catastrophe. The former immortal was downgraded to a semi-immortal weapon after being injured in the battle between immortals and demons. Later, he disappeared from the world's sight with the seclusion of Yuanhua Daochang's lineage.

The Qingying Banner can be regarded as a dual-purpose offensive and defensive artifact. It can be used as the eye of the formation to increase the level of the formation, so that the attack formation can be derived from various methods, and it can also be embedded in the defensive spirit to strengthen the defense. Equivalent to the effect of a spirit shield.

However, apart from this, few people know that Qingyingqi has another ability, which is "backtracking".

Different from the retrospective mirror that travels back in time in the illusion, Qingyingqi's retrospective can truly retrospect the things in reality, as long as it is a living thing, it can go back.

But Shi Zhilin prefers to call this "deprivation".

For example, for a blooming flower, the Qingying Banner can bring the flower back to the budding state before it bloomed, but the flower will also pay a price for it, and will never bloom again.And a person who has achieved success in cultivation will no longer be able to cultivate after going back to the ordinary body through the Qingying Banner.

The Zhou family has exhausted all their tricks, what they want is not the status of the head of the family or the supreme honor, but what he wants is real power, so he has been dormant for several years, usually gentle and gentle, but he will publicly reprimand his only son Zhou Yun for not practicing. Because he values ​​innate ability more than anyone else, and he himself has killed countless lives for the advancement of his natal magic weapon.

That being the case, Shi Zhilin wants to let him have a try, to become a mortal overnight from the powerful person he has longed for for many years.

A few days ago, he drove Shi'an away from Vientiane Valley in order to be caught by the Zhou family. The enchantment and formation of Yuanzhuwu itself are not difficult to understand. It is rare that the Zhou family has been hiding it. It is not a big deal. Open big array.

This large array is distributed in a star-like manner, covering the Zhou family's direct disciples and the residence of the Patriarch and Young Master. If something major happens, it can protect the core blood and roots of the Zhou family.At that time, Zhilin discovered this formation, but he didn't find a way to break it, and he never saw this formation in any ancient book.

Later, when he thought over and over again about how to set up the array, he remembered the Big Dipper Array that he had discussed with an old Taoist who traveled around when he was young. There were only two semi-immortal artifacts, and this formation could not be activated at all, so it was gradually lost. It could not even be found on the fragments of ancient books. However, in retrospect now, it is very similar to the terrain of Yuanzhuwu.

With the Big Dipper Array and the Half Immortal Artifact Qingying Banner as the eye of the array, an idea came to Shi Zhilin's mind.

It's just that this formation is inside the Zhou family, and the Big Dipper formation depends on the layout of mountains, rivers and geomantic omens, and it must be judged based on the topography of Yuanzhuwu. Shi Zhilin couldn't find the formation eye for a while, so he had to be caught by the Zhou family again.After infiltrating the Zhou family, he pretended to be trapped in the formation in the secret room, but in fact he used another distracted primordial spirit to come out of his body to find the eye of the formation.

At this moment, Shi Zhilin has already figured out six parts of the Big Dipper Array, as long as he figured out the last and most important one, his plan will be successful.

Shi Zhilin hid himself and explored in the bamboo forest of the Zhou family, carefully observing every unusual place, just when he felt that there was something strange about a stone, he suddenly heard the sound of conversation coming from a distance, he stopped and hid to the tree.

Not far away, several disciples wearing robes of the direct line came over and chatted as they walked:

"Master asked us to put so many top-grade spirit stones under this tree every day. Why?"

"Who knows? I can only see that the spirit stone is gone in an instant, and my heart aches."

"There's nothing to be distressed about. It's Master's spirit stone, not yours."

"I have rarely obtained a top-quality spirit stone in ten years, why can't I feel distressed?"

"Little family."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, one of them quickly changed the subject: "Hey, by the way, have you guys heard the recent rumors from the outside world?"

"What rumor?"

"What else is there, which one of the rumors outside is not about Yao Ling Daojun?"

"Yes, but what rumors are you talking about?"

Shi Zhilin, who was hiding in the tree, also took his patrolling gaze back and looked under the tree.

I saw the disciple looking around furtively, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the Grandmist Secret Realm liked Shi Qian because he was born with a body of glass and no scale, and the Grand Meng Secret Realm couldn't be changed because the secret realm was hidden in his bones. Among them, as long as the skin is peeled and the bones are removed, perhaps the secret realm can change hands.”

"Hey... this is too... nonsense!"

"Who doesn't know that this sounds unreliable? But what a treasure the Primordial Secret Realm is, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, wouldn't the person who catches him want to give it a try?"

"Then our Patriarch won't also...?"

"Who knows?"

Several people were talking with their heads together, when a voice came in from the other side: "Didn't I ask you to release the spirit stone? What are you doing there!"

Several people dispersed immediately after calling senior brother, put down the Lingshi and ran away.The elder brother only looked at it from a distance, and left without noticing anything unusual.

When Shi Zhilin came down from the tree, his eyes only stayed on those top-quality spirit stones for a moment, and then moved away quickly.

Patriarch Zhou was very cautious, it was impossible to place the Qingying Banner in such a place, and he would not blatantly ask his disciples to release the spirit stones.

Shi Zhilin went back to the stone that he thought was strange, observed it, and solved the blindfold in front of him.

As soon as I entered, I saw the sky was bright, a flag was floating in the air, and a round of false moonlight was shining on it. It turned out to be a small secret place inside.

……

On the other side, Patriarch Zhou was talking with Yun Fang.

Patriarch Zhou Zhou: "I wonder if my nephew has heard the latest rumors?"

Yun Fang: "Rumors about the Mystic Realm of Primordial Meng and the Wugou Body of Glass?"

Patriarch Zhou: "Exactly."

Yun Fang: "Uncle Zhou believes it?"

Patriarch Zhou: "The rumors can spread so far, there must be some truths and some falsehoods. Uncle thinks, three points are true and seven points are false."

Yun Fang: "Where does Uncle Zhou think the truth is?"

Patriarch Zhou smiled: "Liu Li Wushou Body."

Yun Fang sneered: "The Liuli Wugou Body is a divine bone in the legend, and Shi Qiangen's bones are born of ordinary people no matter how good they are, how is that possible."

Patriarch Zhou said meaningfully: "Everyone knows that Xiaoyaozi prophesied Shi Qian's eight-year-old foundation building, but they don't know what Xiaoyaozi said in full..."

Everyone in Kyushu knows that Shi Zhilin was weak at birth and had no aura at all, and he remained so even when he was three years old.On the contrary, Emperor Zhao liked this nephew very much. It happened that he also had no children, so he often took Shi Qian to the palace to teach him. At that time, everyone in Kyushu almost agreed that Shi Qian was the next heir. The six arts of a gentleman, what he learns more is the way of being a king.

However, no one expected that on the day of Shi Zhilin's eighth birthday, the sky was full of colorful clouds, and a vision was born. The holy light fell into the courtyard.

When everyone was worried, they saw the rays of light spread out, and Mr. Xiaolang slowly opened his eyes under the shroud of the holy light. The light in his eyes was shining brightly, as bright as the sun and the moon, like a fairy child descending into the world, just in time for Xiaoyaozi to travel to Jinling , Said: This son's root bone, once he ascends, he will surely attain the status of a god.

From that day on, Shi Zhilin broke through the foundation building in one fell swoop and became famous all over the world.

But what no one knows is that, besides this, Xiaoyaozi also said that Shi Zhilin is the body of glass without scale, and it is a unique spiritual root. It is difficult to produce one bone in ten thousand years, and things will be reversed at the extreme. Since Shi Qian has a great opportunity, it is naturally impossible to be without flaws. There are two flaws in him.

One is that no one can see through his roots before the age of eight, and because the spiritual energy is automatically attached, the mortal body who has not yet entered the Tao is prone to illness and death. Fortunately, he was born in a family of Zhongming Dingshi and was closely protected since childhood Take care, this difficulty is over.

The second is that this kind of root is born with natural nourishment, like the treasures of heaven and earth, it contains all things, and if the aura follows him, the world will also chase him. Only when you are strong can you gain a foothold in the world.

After Xiaoyaozi said this, he flew up.

The Shi family also concealed Shi Qian's special roots, and only said that he had a special spiritual root to the outside world. The Shi family was worried that his cultivation would go wrong, so they had been suppressing his cultivation before, and wanted him to lay a good foundation. They didn't accumulate until the age of eight. , to build a foundation in one fell swoop.

Because of this, Emperor Zhao and the Shi family protected Shi Zhilin very closely. Except for the imperial city and Jinling, he was almost not allowed to go to other places. Every time he went out, there were many guards and hidden guards, and they did not dare to relax at all.

……

Yun Fang's eyes flickered, and his tone was indeed suspicious: "Since the Shi family has kept it a secret, how did Patriarch Zhou know?"

Patriarch Zhou said with a smile: "There is no impenetrable wall in the world, not to mention that the Shi family is extinct, our people will naturally turn the entire floating pavilion inside and out."

Yun Fang: "Can Uncle Yun ensure that this news is true?"

Patriarch Zhou said firmly: "Very."

Yun Fang stood up abruptly: "Where is Shi Qian now?"

Patriarch Zhou said in no hurry: "My nephew, don't be impatient. Originally, Uncle Zhou could have kept this matter from you. Now that I tell you, he wants to cooperate with you more honestly."

Yun Fang barely held back: "What do you mean?"

Patriarch Zhou smiled, and when he was about to speak, his face changed suddenly, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

At the same time, Shi Zhilin half-kneeled on the ground, holding the Qingying Banner tightly with a pale face, allowing the blood in his palm to be absorbed by it.

The real backtracking time is not so simple, the longer the backtracking time, the more supplies are needed, and to activate the Qingying Banner to deprive the Zhou family of everyone's cultivation, it needs to go back thousands of years at least. I can't bear it, but fortunately, Shi's has more treasures of heaven and earth, but without Shi's, there are still people from the Mysterious Realm of Primordial Meng.

It's just that at this moment, he has already drained all the spiritual power of Shi's magic tools and spiritual weapons, and what is now drawn by the Qingying Banner is the spiritual power in his blood, and it is also the spiritual power of the Hongmeng Secret Realm, and it is precisely because of the Hongmeng In the secret realm, he dared to plan like this.

When Patriarch Zhou arrived, Shi Zhilin had no trace of blood on his face, and his skin was almost transparent.

"Shi Qian, do you know what you are doing? Put down the Qingying flag!"

For the first time, Patriarch Zhou's expression changed drastically. He pointed at Shi Zhilin but dared not take a step forward, because the Qingying Banner had been activated, and besides the person who activated it, other people who approached it would also be absorbed by the aura.

Shi Zhilin's face turned pale, but his eyes were clear and calm, "Patriarch Zhou, I would like to thank you for not daring to feed a tiger with your body. The Qingying Banner has not yet recognized its owner, otherwise I would not be able to manipulate it so easily."

Patriarch Zhou's face was extremely ugly: "What are you going to do?"

Feeling the regressing cultivation base and rapidly weakening body, Shi Zhilin hooked his lips happily: "What do you think?"

Patriarch Zhou couldn't believe it: "Are you crazy? You've already been distracted, and you'll be able to reach Mahayana after you cross the catastrophe. With your cultivation base, you can definitely rise to the top, but for... for revenge, my Zhou family doesn't want your own fairyland?"

Shi Zhilin smiled: "Dengxian Road is boring alone, and Huangquan Road is the same, so I want to be lively and lively, and I will invite you and the Zhou family to accompany me. What does Patriarch Zhou think?"

Frightened by his serious expression, Patriarch Zhou stepped back half a step, leaning on the wall: "You're crazy..." After finishing speaking, he quickly fled outside.

"go."

Shi Zhilin's voice was very soft, and it was indeed thunderous when it fell on Patriarch Zhou's ears. He saw the Qingying flag, which was still stained with his blood, flying towards him, and it only hovered over his head for a moment, which caused his cultivation to regress a lot.

Patriarch Zhou's face turned pale in an instant, his legs softened and he fell to the ground.

Zhou Yun and the disciples of the Zhou family who came here after hearing the news shouted loudly when they saw Patriarch Zhou like this: "Father/Master!"

Patriarch Zhou immediately said: "Leave me alone! Run!"

Zhou Yun paused, "Father?"

"Run!"

Patriarch Zhou used all his aura and threw the defensive magic weapon on his body towards Zhou Yun, "You know where to go! Take them away!"

Zhou Yun took a deep look at Patriarch Zhou, turned around and ran away.

When Shi Zhilin saw this scene, he didn't chase after him. His main goal was Patriarch Zhou. He would turn his attention to others only when his cultivation level was gone.

Patriarch Zhou knew Qingyingqi's ability best, sitting on his knees on the ground, feeling the rapidly regressing cultivation in his body, and getting older and older.

Shi Zhilin also watched all this silently.

It took only half a stick of incense for Master Zhou to change from a middle-aged man to a fashionable old man, and when he spoke again, his voice was hoarse and vicissitudes of life: "I will use all my cultivation to pay for the crime, Shi Qian, please, please let Yuner go!" .”

Shi Zhilin caught the Qingying flag that was back in his hand, and said calmly: "If you ask me, I will agree?"

Patriarch Zhou shook his head tremblingly, and said, "I'll tell you to poison the person who poisoned your uncle, in exchange."

Shi Zhilin paused, "Who?"

Patriarch Zhou: "Mr. Yun." When he saw Zhilin's expression remained unchanged, he said, "At this moment, I don't need to lie to you. Mrs. Yun is the person who made the poison, but whoever did it depends on who is sitting now. On that throne."

Shi Zhilin was stunned, but he didn't think it was a surprise.

Master Zhou saw his expression, and after reacting for two seconds, he suddenly smiled: "That's right, you can see through even the plans of Yun's and mine, and you designed us even more meticulously, so how could you not guess who made it?" What about poisoning Emperor Zhao?" He stopped laughing, as if he had seen through the time, and said, "A country cannot be without a king for a day, you don't want to be emperor, and you don't want to change the Zhao dynasty, so let your uncle be killed." People continue to sit on the throne, right? Hahahahahahaha... Shi Zhilin, Shi Zhilin, I thought you valued your family, but it turned out that it was only for yourself!"

Shi Zhilin didn't argue, just said: "Since it's something I've already guessed, it's not an exchange."

Patriarch Zhou was furious: "What do you want?"

Shi Zhilin decided to take a look at him, "I know you have been inquiring about the news of various families, including Tianshan, if you want to keep your son, you can exchange with me the formation of Tianshan Infinity Palace."

Patriarch Zhou was stunned: "How do you know I'm researching..." He knew he was slipping the tongue, and then said: "The Tianshan formation is far better than my Zhou family's formation. I haven't studied it thoroughly."

"It's okay, just give me as much as you want."

Patriarch Zhou thought for a moment and agreed.

When Shi Zhilin left with the Qingying flag, Patriarch Zhou was already very old, and even his breathing became weak, probably because he was not reconciled, and before he died, he still said: "You can do this for your Shi Shi's revenge. , your uncle Zhao Di has been raising you for many years, but you let his enemy go free, Zhao Di's underground spirits don't know how much they regret raising your nephew hahahahaha..."

Shi Zhilin paused, glanced to the north, and left without looking back.

The new emperor has a vested interest, and Shi Zhilin stayed in the palace for so long, how could he not find out who killed the first emperor, but the person who knows him best in this world, apart from his elder brother, is his uncle, when he was going to expose the new emperor When Emperor Sin avenged his uncle, the eunuch in front of his uncle gave him an imperial edict.

His uncle and him, except for the day of canonization, never issued any imperial decree to him.

The imperial decree that day was also very brief, like a letter from home, asking him if he was well, reminding him that the sky is cool and adding clothes, not to practice too hard, asking him to listen to his brother and sister-in-law, and caring about whether he has a wife he likes , only wrote in the last sentence: The new emperor has a lack of virtue, but he is brave and resourceful, and he is worthy of great responsibility.
