Chapter 306 Zhu Su Clan
The demons were on a grand march. Ning Mingmei and the other two mixed in with the team, slowly following the people in front of them.
"Boss, where are we going?" The vanguard followed the leading demon, serving him at his beck and call.
The leader of the late Nascent Soul demon clan is named Huo Zhao. He has red hair, a chiseled face, and a somewhat wild and handsome look. He chewed on straw and said, "Let's go to Black Wind Village! There's a gang of bandits there, and a bunch of soldiers are going to suppress them recently. If we catch up with them, we can pick up some stuff and take them away!"
"Boss, there is a road from here to the human world. Shall we go to the human world?"
The red-haired demon gave Ma Qianzu a slap on the face: "Do you think you can just go to this human world casually? It's ok if you run into the army of King Ruyang, but if you run into the Crescent Moon Cult, you will suffer the consequences."
"Hey, hey, boss, stop hitting me..."
"The Crescent Moon Cult is also evil. Who knows what kind of magic they use..."
…
"Immortal Lord, let's find a chance to escape." Wei Rong sent a message into the secret passage, "It sounds like there are a lot of people in Black Wind Village, so we can just find a chance to escape. It's normal for subordinates to run away during a war."
Ning Mingmei asked, "Now that we are here, are we going to leave in disgrace?"
?
"Don't worry, I have a way." Ning Mingmei took out a feather fan from somewhere, "It's too tiring to walk to the fairyland. I have a way to get them to carry me to the border."
? ?
"Your Majesty, we are in a very dangerous situation. Among the Thirty-Six Strategies, the best one is to run away." Wei Rong advised worriedly.
Ye Yufei touched his sleeve and said, "Don't worry. The Immortal Master has his own way."
? What can you do about it?
The demon team marched for three days and set up camp near Black Wind Village. Huo Zhao saw that the fighting in Heifeng Village was in full swing, and his eyes were hot. He sent a few people to find the soldiers and ask for an alliance, but was turned down.
“Do you think your boss is so great because he used to be a personal soldier of the Demon General? In the end, he is just a bunch of bandits like us!” Huo Zhao said angrily, “Never mind, let’s just charge forward, in the fire… in the fire…”
"Pull chestnuts from the fire."
"Yes, even if you try to get something out of the fire, you can still get something out of it!" Huo Zhao said, glancing at the side. "Wait, who are you?"
The man looked at him and smiled: "I don't know if you can get chestnuts out of the fire. But if you really rush in like you did, half of the little fortune you have saved up with great difficulty will be lost immediately."
"Wait, what do you mean?"
"The Black Wind Village is built on the water, and the buildings are connected by bamboo bridges." The man waved his fan and said, "I have a plan. I wonder if you would like to listen to it?"
…
Wei Rong felt dizzy and felt as if he had been fast-forwarded for the past few days.
In just two months, the three of them not only turned from refugees into guests of Huo Zhao, but also made rapid progress with this demon all the way towards Chaoge, the capital of the demon world. Ning Mingmei no longer had to walk, but he also had a carriage and even a brand new set of white clothes. Huo Zhao would get into the carriage as soon as he got up in the morning, chattering and discussing major plans with Ning Mingmei.
"Mr. Kong Liang, where does this plan come from?"
"I have Mr. Kong Liang, like a fish...fish that thing..."
“Like a fish in water.”
"Yes, like a fish in water! Military advisor, a man needs a military advisor to live!"
Wei Rong and Ye Yufei, who were standing by: ...
Wei Rong glanced at the team that was following him. In just two months, Huozhao's team expanded from a few hundred people to over ten thousand people. This is a very scary number for the demon world team.
Huo Zhao also transformed from a bandit who only knew how to pick up items automatically into a warlord. Now, they were invited to enter Dadu just to receive the title.
When there are few people around, Huo Zhao can be a free bandit. Now that I have more subordinates, I have no choice but to recruit them. Huo Zhao was very excited when he received the sealed book from the messenger. He never imagined that one day, he would be honored as a "Demon General" by everyone.
And all this is thanks to Mr. Kong Liang who is by my side!
Kong Liang was a hermit, and a hermit living near Baisha Village. For many years, he managed to survive in the chaotic world and did not seek fame and fortune among the princes. It was not until Baisha Village was destroyed by sandstorm that he left with two of his men to look for another place to settle down. It was on this road that I found him, and it was in the Black Wind Village. His suggestion not only earned me my first pot of gold, but also allowed me to recruit soldiers from another team, and from then on I embarked on the road to hegemony...
What is this? This is fate! This is the noble person destined for Huo Zhao!
Huo Zhao's daily schedule is now very fixed. He wakes up every morning and greets his husband. After training in the morning, I say hello to Mr. At lunch, I ate with my husband, holding the plate. Discussed the route with my husband in the afternoon. I had a second meal with my husband in the evening. This should have been a very happy life. But the closer they got to Dadu, the more nervous Huo Zhao became.
Such a rapid advancement of the team like Huo Zhao naturally attracted the attention of the demons in the demon world. By asking around, they soon learned the reason for Huo Zhao's rise - there was a military advisor in his team.
The identity of this military advisor is a mystery, but he is a descendant of the ancient demon clan (news released by Ning Mingmei), he holds a large inheritance (news released by Ning Mingmei), his cultivation seems to be golden elixir, but it is mysterious (news released by Ning Mingmei), and in addition, he seems to have some entrepreneurial ideas.
Although Kong Liang never expressed his attitude. But Huo Zhao could feel that Kong Liang obviously wanted to be a hermit more than being a military strategist. Dadu is so prosperous. What if Kong Liang went to Dadu and ran away with others? He must find a way to give Kong Liang what he wants!
So today, he lifted the curtain and entered Ning Mingmei's car again. Ning Mingmei was originally reading a book. When he saw him coming, he only raised his eyes slightly: "What are you doing coming in now?"
Huo Zhao: “This…”
Ning Mingmei: "Have you finished doing the push-ups today? Have you finished reading the book? Have you finished copying the things you wrote?"
…Huo Zhao silently crawled out and continued doing push-ups. After doing 200 push-ups, Huo Zhao ran back and said, "Military Advisor, I actually have a question."
"explain."
Huo Zhao: "Military Advisor, I have never known much about your background. If you are willing, can you..."
"It's okay to tell you." Ning Mingmei closed the book and said, "Have you heard of Zhu Sushi?"
Huo Zhao shook his head blankly.
"Is that so..." Ning Mingmei's eyes flashed with a trace of hidden pain, "Many years have passed... I didn't expect that Zhu Su's family is no longer well-known."
If someone mentioned a clan that Huo Zhao, an illiterate man, had never heard of, there was a low chance that Huo Zhao would think the other person was talking nonsense. But it was Ning Mingmei who said this, so it was different.
The demon world has a long history and has never been unified. Isn't it normal for there to be some mysterious families? It must be because I am uneducated and unlearned that I don’t know this family! Moreover, Ning Mingmei once took out two mysterious magic weapons of the demon clan, which must be the accumulation of Zhu Su's family!
Moreover, isn’t it normal that Long Aotian can pick up a military advisor from a mysterious family when he goes out? I deserve such good luck and such a legendary life! Moreover, if other people hear such a legend, wouldn't it make you look very stylish?
People always believe what they want to believe, and the same is true for demons. Moreover, the hidden pain in Kong Liang's eyes made Huo Zhao's heart feel like it was being pricked by a needle.
"Military Advisor, tell me! What happened to Zhu Su later?"
"...Forget it." Ning Mingmei shook his head slowly, "Since it's already a thing of the past...there's no need to mention it again."
"military adviser!"
"Forget it, I don't want to say anything today."
Seeing Ning Mingmei drive Huozhao out, Wei Rong and Ye Yufei sneaked into the car. Ye Yufei asked Ning Mingmei: "Xianzun, why did you reject him?"
Ning Mingmei was calm and composed: "I haven't figured out how to make it up, nor have I figured out what to cheat from the demons."
Wei Rong next to him: ...
Wei Rong felt that the three of them were making things bigger and bigger. At first they were hermits, then they pretended to have magic weapons, and later they became descendants of the ancient demon clan. Now it seems that these descendants of the ancient demon clan still have secrets.
It’s hard to imagine how the three of them would escape if their fabricated stories were exposed.
Ning Mingmei felt that he had done nothing wrong. Actually, Jiang Wu is also from the Jiang Duo family, so he is of course a descendant of the ancient demon clan. Standing in front of everyone was Huo Zhao's military advisor, the hermit of Baisha Village, the descendant of the ancient demon clan, the only descendant of Zhu Su, the owner of the artifact, the folk song writer, and Teacher Kong Liang.
Huo Zhao was very unwilling to give up. He visited Ning Mingmei three times, but Ning Mingmei was busy collecting information about the demons and was unable to make up his life story, so he only uttered a few riddle quotes every day. Finally, when Huo Zhao came to the house for the fourth time, Ning Mingmei finally revealed the scheme he had made up.
"This branch of the Zhu Su clan has long disappeared in the dust of history..." Ning Mingmei said, "This branch's cultivation is relatively low compared to the warlike clans, but it has special abilities."
"What special ability?"
"We have a secret treasure. Through the secret method, this secret treasure is repeatedly tempered to advance to the highest level, and it can achieve an effect." Ning Mingmei said, "With only one drop of blood, this secret treasure can detect what kind of disease the owner of the blood will suffer from in this life, what kind of inner demons, what kind of skills to practice, and which demon family to join is most suitable for her and can best bring out her talents."
"What?!"
"The demons have many techniques and families, and each family has its own special bloodline abilities. However, many demons are completely in the dark when it comes to choosing techniques and which family to be loyal to. They don't know what technique is best for them. Those who should have gone to the Duan family went to the Jiang family, and were in agony when practicing the Red Flame Technique. Those who should have gone to the Murong family went to the Shangguan family, and could not survive in front of the Blood Evil Pool. At the same time, demons always face various diseases in middle age and old age. Some demons do not pay attention to prevention and even die young because of this." Ning Mingmei said, "And our secret treasure only needs a drop of blood to detect everything that will happen in the future."
"So awesome?!" Huo Zhao was shocked.
"This is something that has been passed down by the Zhusu clan since ancient times." Ning Mingmei carefully stroked his blueprint, "Unfortunately, because too many materials are needed, now, I have only hammered out a semi-finished product..."
