Chapter 18 Fair Deals
Jingjie didn't know what level the Sky Demon was, but looking at Hui Sha's size, he felt that he could crush the ten-meter-long Green Saltwater Ancient Lizard inside him with one kick, and there would definitely be no accidents.
"Lord Hui Sha, I am of very low status and strength. Why do you want to come to me?"
Thorns calmed down quickly, his mind was quick, and he had already begun to think about the causes and consequences of this incident during the conversation.
While thinking, he tried to slow down his speaking speed, showing a very scared look.
He was just taking the opportunity to delay, giving himself enough time to think about the current situation and Hui Sha's purpose.
A big boss is not so boring as to find a junior disciple to drink tea and chat for no reason.
Unless this disciple is very special and has something that can attract the heavenly demon, or help the heavenly demon, such as the Heavenly Book on his body - the Demonic Scroll.
If Hui Sha wanted to get the demon book, the correct choice would be to directly kill himself and snatch the demon book, but the other party did not do this.
Either it can't be done, or the demon book is not its true purpose.
Therefore, Jingjie is sure that Hui Sha definitely has something to ask for help from him, and the ultimate goal may not be so simple.
Thorns' thoughts gradually became clearer. He now had no ability to resist Hui Sha. The only thing he could do was to show humility, pretend to understand, and pretend to be confused.
Hui Sha slowly lowered his body and put his head close to the thorns. Only then did the thorns realize that each of the other's teeth was two or three times taller than him.
It stared at the thorn for a while, and the thorn felt that the other person's gaze seemed to penetrate his body, looking at it carefully.
From the initial uncertainty, to the certainty, and finally to the last hint of primitive greed, Hui Sha's eyes never escaped the gaze of Thorns.
Although Hui Sha is a celestial demon, when it comes to hiding facial expressions and eye emotions, no race can do it better than humans.
"You are very talented, boy. I am very optimistic about you. Practice well after joining the sect. If you encounter any difficulties, you can ask me for help."
Optimistic? Help? Haha!
Although he despised Hui Sha to the extreme in his heart, Thorns still naturally showed an expression of surprise.
"Really? Senior Tianyao?"
Hui Sha stared at the thorns, suddenly shook his hair, retracted his amiable look, and showed a fierce look.
"Are you hiding your hostility towards me? You're disguising it well. Duplicity is indeed a common manifestation of human beings.
A very keen little guy! But thinking about it, people who can possess the Book of Heaven have always been amazingly talented people."
Thorny's pupils shrank, and he tried his best to calm down his nervousness.
Hui Sha's words made it clear that his disguise was exposed, but he didn't know where his flaw was.
After carefully recalling my words and actions just now, it seems that there are no flaws. If the problem is not with myself, then it is with the opponent.
As a celestial demon, maybe Hui Sha has the ability to identify lies or sense right from wrong?
Thorns paid attention for a moment, and his voice became calm again.
"Lord Hui Sha, let's not play riddles with each other. Can you tell me the purpose of bringing me here?"
"Purpose? Aren't you very smart? You can guess it. If you guess it right, I won't kill you."
Although Thorns was most likely sure that Hui Sha was bluffing, he didn't dare to bet on this situation.
"Okay, let me guess, do you want to get the Book of Demons? No, even the Heavenly Demon would not dare to try to fuse the Book of Demons easily.
In this case, Master Hui Sha’s purpose is not to kill me here. Since he doesn’t want to kill me and is looking for me, he wants to seek help from the demon book.”
Jingji deliberately said that it was the demon book's help, not his help, in order to make Hui Sha feel more comfortable.
Thorns has always believed that a creature's pride will increase with its strength.
Hui Sha is a celestial demon. It sounds unacceptable for a celestial demon to ask a human to help, but if it is a celestial demon who needs the help of a celestial book, it sounds much more comfortable, language art.
After hearing what Jingjie said, Hui Sha raised his head slightly. From a psychological point of view, this was an expression of satisfaction, so Jingjie continued.
"On the boundary monument of the Sun and Moon Sect, I remember there is a record about the Yuezhao Lion, which was the heavenly demon that Master Qiankun defeated in Qiankun Mountain when he founded the sect.
Although I don’t know the specific level of the Sky Demon yet, I imagine that the Sky Demon is a relatively high-grade monster. Such a powerful monster must be unwilling to be trapped here as a world spirit, right?
So, Lord Hui Sha, do you want me to help you leave this place?"
After Jingjia said these words, the tension in his heart gradually calmed down, because he felt that his idea was correct.
This may seem like a risky move, but it's actually about seeking stability amid danger. As long as Hui Sha wants something, it will definitely not threaten his life.
Sure enough, after Thorns finished speaking, Hui Sha was silent for a long time.
He did not answer Thorns, but simply shrank his originally huge body until he was in the form of a white lion with a shoulder height of two meters before stopping. However, for Thorns, it was still very big.
The reason for not speaking is also very simple, because everything that Thorns speculated is correct.
Hui Sha slowly walked toward the thorns. After getting closer, the thorns saw that there were transparent chains on the limbs of the gray fiend.
Seeing this, he finally felt relieved. At least the sky demon in front of him was not the kind of monster that he could have no scruples about.
Moreover, the so-called world spirit does not seem to be a spiritual beast at all, but a monster, a heavenly monster, imprisoned here by Master Qiankun.
"I once met a person who owned the Book of Heaven. It was a very painful past. Boy, you reminded me of a lot of bad memories."
After hearing Hui Sha's words, Thorns responded immediately.
"But my arrival also gives you hope, doesn't it? Hope of getting out of this sea of misery."
Hui Sha fell silent again, seeming to be thinking about the authenticity of Thorns' words.
In fact, by this time, in addition to the huge gap in force between the two sides, Hui Sha was already at a disadvantage in terms of language and negotiations.
It has been guided by the thorns unknowingly, and it is not even aware of this.
The wisdom of living things will become more and more abundant with the course of life, but the premise is that a living thing has experienced the course of life.
And for a monster that has been trapped here for 1,700 years, most of the wisdom it has generated in its life has been erased in its long imprisonment.
"What do you want to get?"
Jingji stood still slightly, and at this moment, the aura of being the best brother in the industry returned to him again.
He looked directly into Hui Sha's eyes and moved his hands away.
