Chapter 388: Raised in captivity and made subject of research
While Pei Anzhu was explaining to the python demon, the drone in mid-air did not leave.
So, everything she said was heard by the people in front of the screen.
Whether it was Officer Du and Shen Yueran on the ship, or the leaders in the central city conference room, they were all moved by Pei Anzhu's spirit of making decisions before taking action and risking his own life.
Although the plan to undercover the island had many possibilities in advance, the appearance of this python demon was unexpected by everyone.
No one would have thought that this small island, in addition to being the home of a mysterious totem cult organization, also hides a very powerful and cruel demon.
No one knew it before being summoned by Zi Er and Zi San.
More importantly, the opponent has always been referred to as "secret weapon". Even Shen Yueran guessed the weapon formation talisman and even guessed that the secret weapon might be a person, but he could not guess that it was a big demon.
So, the appearance of the python demon can be said to have disrupted Pei Anzhu's plan.
But Pei Anzhu has never been one to back down when encountering difficulties. She also knows that the monster has appeared, and if it cannot be solved this time, it will cause endless trouble.
So, she almost gave up everything to fight this python monster.
She has her own plan, but she cannot tell Shen Yueran openly because this python demon is not an idiot. It has lived for so many years, experienced two worlds, and has rich fighting experience.
If Pei Anzhu really gave Shen Yueran some hints, or told the Abnormality Bureau directly about her plan, then there would be no way the demon slaying could succeed this time.
So, she could only gamble, bet with all her might.
Bet on the importance of Yi Tiao Bureau and Officer Du to her ability and character, and bet on Shen Yueran's understanding and trust in her.
Fortunately, she won the bet.
At the last second, at the most critical moment, she took out her trump card, and Officer Du instinctively stopped firing the weapon, giving her a chance to fight back.
This plan is very risky and bold.
As long as the leaders and Officer Du have a little less trust in her and feel that she can't handle it and fire their weapons early, then she will die with the big demon.
There is a ship approaching slowly not far away. It is a ship from the Extraordinary Bureau.
Officer Du and Shen Yueran came to pick her up in person. Looking at the big python under her body, Officer Du had a headache:
“It’s so big that we can’t transport it back.”
“Even if there is such a big ship that can transport it, it will be difficult to hide it from the public on land, unless it is cut into sections and put in boxes. But we want to keep it alive, and it is of great research value.”
Shen Yueran, this clever little guy, started to offer his tricks again:
“Look at it. It’s round, thick, and has a black body. Does it look like a round pipe? Cover the head and tail and disguise it as a pipe. As long as it doesn’t open its mouth, can you hide it?”
Police Officer Du’s eyes lit up, this was a solution.
It was Pei Anzhu who asked:
“Is there a place to keep such a big snake in captivity?”
"Yes, there are plenty of places." Officer Du nodded, "The leader just said that you can go to the military base in Area U. It is close to the mountains and forests. It is a good place to raise it in the forest. There is a base nearby. There are enough weapons and manpower. If anything happens, It can be strangled immediately."
Seeing that they had already thought of a solution in just a few words, Pei Anzhu nodded:
“Okay, in that case, I’ll leave it to you.”
"It has lost its demon elixir, and all its cultivation has disappeared, leaving only a huge body. After a while, its memory will disappear with the passage of time, its language function will degrade, and the inheritance of those cultivation will slowly Forgot and gradually turned into an ordinary giant snake."
“At that time, you don’t need to be alarmed and surprised, it will just change back to its original appearance.”
Just as people lose their cultivation and become mortals, and demons lose their demon elixir, the same is true.
Officer Du expressed his understanding, and then ordered his men to contact the people on the shore and prepare a special transportation route to avoid arousing suspicion and panic among the people as much as possible.
Subsequently, he asked Pei Anzhu:
“Master Pei, you have worked hard in this battle. We have seen all the process through drone filming. In order to deal with this big monster, you also spent all your cultivation.”
"What the leader means is that you have done too much and I don't know what to reward you. I will promise you three conditions. As long as it is within the country's capacity, it does not violate law, morality, public order and good customs, and it does not harm the interests of the country and others. , you can mention whatever conditions you want.”
After hearing this, Pei Anzhu nodded and said:
“I’ve written down the three conditions. Don’t worry, even if I do make conditions, it won’t be difficult.”
At this moment, the leaders in the Central City conference room heard this and breathed a sigh of relief.
Pei Anzhu is too powerful, and her contribution is indeed too great. She has given too much gold, silver, and real estate, but nothing can compare with her contribution to destroying the big demon.
So, we can only show the greatest sincerity and let her make conditions within the allowable range.
After discussing the business matters, Shen Yueran rushed over, hugged Pei Anzhu, and said with a smile:
"It's finally over. You scared me to death. When I saw that broken snake sucking away your cultivation, I really thought there was nothing you could do and you were just waiting there to die! You even cried for a long time. field!"
"Okay, I'm fine." Pei Anzhu hugged Shen Yueran back, and then asked in surprise, as if he felt something, "Did you introduce Qi into your body? When did it happen?"
“Not long ago, you lifted the curse of the big demon, and I had an epiphany on the spot.” Shen Yueran raised her chin proudly.
“Awesome! Success in one attempt, extraordinary talent!” Pei Anzhu praised.
"Hehe, I also think I'm very powerful." Shen Yueran smiled, "Xiaozhu, now that the big demon has been solved, and the mysterious totem organization has been solved, is there no danger in the Dragon Kingdom? I have already decided, since The curse is gone, then I will officially worship you as my teacher, learn Shu Yunguan’s techniques, and become the successor to the revitalization of Xuanmen!”
Officer Du laughed after hearing this, and the leaders in front of the screen also laughed.
I didn’t expect Shen Yueran, a rich young lady, to have such great ambitions, but this is a good thing. After the curse is broken, there will be more and more powerful young people in the Dragon Kingdom.
No matter what monsters we encounter in the future, more people will be able to deal with them, and Pei Anzhu will not have to be exhausted and face danger alone every time.
But just when everyone was thinking about the future, Pei Anzhu suddenly shook his head:
“This matter is not over yet.”
The smile on Shen Yueran's face froze, and she said in surprise:
"Why is it not finished? The island is gone, everything on the island is destroyed, the so-called 'adult' was killed by you, the big demon is dead, and the curse is broken. Is there anything else that remains unfinished?"
Pei Anzhu glanced at the python and did not answer. He only said:
"I'm a little tired and want to rest. I'll tell you more about it when I get back to the Abnormality Bureau."
After hearing this, Officer Du quickly invited Pei Anzhu to the boat and asked her to clean up the room and prepare hot water and food so that she could have a good rest after washing and eating.
Subsequently, the ship began to return.
More people and boats stayed here, cooperating with each other to prepare to transport the giant python back.
Although the python is still very lethal, no one is afraid because Pei Anzhu left them enough amulets before leaving, and she placed a ban on the python so that it cannot attack humans.
So, the giant python can only be manipulated by others and will not pose a threat to the comrades in the alien bureau.
In addition to the comrades who transported the boa constrictor, some people from the Alien Bureau also stayed on the spot, focusing on the place where the island disappeared, searching outwards, trying to fish out something.
Even though they knew that this island and everything on it had long since sunk to the bottom of the sea due to the battle between Pei Anzhu and the python, they still held on to some hope in case anything useful could be salvaged.
The study of metaphysics has just begun in Longguo, and nothing can be let go.
***
Pei Anzhu experienced a big battle and his physical and spiritual energy was excessively exhausted, so he slept very deeply this night.
When she was sleeping, Shen Yueran held the little fox and stood guard outside the door of her room, always guarding her safety, for fear that some fish might slip through the net on the island and come out to take advantage of others.
Pei Anzhu was still awake when the ship was anchored at the coastal port.
Officer Du asked the others to get off the boat and return to the strange police station first, while he and Shen Yueran stayed on the boat, waiting for Pei Anzhu. It was not until two days later that Pei Anzhu woke up.
Exhausting one's own cultivation to deal with the enemy is never the orthodox way.
So, even if Pei Anzhu is a cultivator, she no longer needs to fall asleep and can use trance instead of sleep, but this time she still had a good sleep seriously.
After waking up, she went to the Strange Bureau with Officer Du and Shen Yueran.
Bureau Guo, who went to Central City, has returned. Previously, Bureau Guo and other leaders were watching Pei Anzhu fighting the python demon in the conference room of Central City.
He saw Pei Anzhu, walked up to her, patted her on the shoulder and said:
“Your contribution will never be forgotten by the motherland and the people. Thank you for your hard work.”
After speaking, he gave Pei Anzhu a military salute.
Pei Anzhu also returned the salute and said:
“I know that everyone is very concerned about this matter, and the leaders are still waiting for the results. Let’s not waste time. Find a conference room and I will explain the rest of the matter clearly.”
Minister Wen Tao will arrange it soon.
Not long after, everyone was seated in the conference room. The people attending the meeting in the Yi Tiao Bureau were:
Bureau Guo, Officer Du, Minister Wen Tao, Minister Zhong Peipei, Pei Anzhu, Shen Yueran, Little Fox, and some assistants who took meeting minutes.
At the same time, video equipment was used in the conference room and was connected to the conference room in the central city. In this way, the leaders could hear what Pei Anzhu said immediately.
After everyone was seated, Pei Anzhu nodded slightly to the leaders in the video and then spoke:
"I want to inform you of something now. I said before that the matter of the mysterious totem organization is not over yet. That is because the real messenger behind the scenes is not dead yet."
After the words fell, everyone’s expressions suddenly changed. Officer Du, as the official representative, spoke to Pei Anzhu:
"How could this happen? Didn't you already kill him? Although we never saw your fight with that person, when you rushed to save Miss Shen, you told the python demon yourself that you killed its owner. Pei Anzhu nodded and said:
"I did say that, but I said it deliberately in order to break the python demon's psychological defense."
"That man is not dead. There are two reasons why I am so sure."
"First of all, that person is an evil cultivator, and he can be considered a type of monk. You should have heard it from the conversation between me and the python demon. We are both cultivators of immortality."
“When a person who cultivates immortality reaches a certain state, he can separate his body and soul. That evil cultivator is in the Nascent Soul stage. Although he was injured, his state is correct.”
"The reason why the Yuanying stage is called Yuanying is because after cultivating to this stage, a small baby shape will appear inside the Dantian. This baby looks exactly like our body, but it is a smaller version. At the critical moment, This little baby can be regarded as another physical body of us cultivators."
“In other words, after being killed by someone, as long as the Nascent Soul is immortal and the soul is still there, it is possible to start over.”
"In addition, even if the Nascent Soul is destroyed, if the soul is still there, it can still find opportunities to seize other people's bodies and survive with the help of other people's bodies, and that evil cultivator is the latter type."
“He was seriously injured, and his Nascent Soul had long been broken, so I was able to cut off his body with one knife. But just when I was about to destroy his soul, I found that his soul had disappeared.”
"I am 100% sure that I did not succeed in destroying his soul. Then there is only one reason why he disappeared, that is, he ran away. He should have arranged other back-ups on that island. Maybe it was very secretive, or maybe I didn't I had seen it before, so I didn’t notice it immediately, giving him a chance to escape.”
"The second reason why I concluded that he is not dead is because of the python demon."
“It is a demon, and it is that person’s demon pet. As a demon pet, you need to sign a contract with a human being. There are many types of contracts, such as equality contracts, master-servant contracts, life and death contracts, etc.”
"What kind of contract is signed depends on the owner. The demon pet is not qualified to know. Even if the owner deceives it and obviously signs a life-and-death contract, but falsely claims that it is an equal contract, there is no problem."
"When I was fighting the boa constrictor, I found that it signed a life-and-death contract with the evil cultivator. That means that if the master dies, the demon pet will never survive. But after the person's soul disappeared, the demon pet did not die. , and it’s still very powerful, which only means that that person is still alive.”
“The boa constrictor was probably deceived, thinking that he was signing an equal contract, so after learning that his master was dead, he was obsessed with revenge, so he became more and more courageous as he fought.”
"Earlier in the sea area, the reason why I was half-sentence and not finished is because I didn't want to tell the matter in front of the boa constrictor. If the boa constrictor knew that its owner was still alive, I'm afraid it would cause a lot of trouble."
After Pei Anzhu finished his explanation, the conference rooms on both sides fell into silence.
After a long time, Officer Du spoke again:
"According to what Master Pei said, that person escaped, but the world is so big, we have no way of knowing where he escaped to, and we can't find him at all. What should we do?"
“Is it possible that we should let him hide in the dark, gather a group of fans, and continue to do those evil things?”
If this is really the case, then the matter is very serious.
So, everyone looked at Pei Anzhu, trying to hear an answer that wasn't too bad from her mouth.
Pei Anzhu did not disappoint everyone's hopes. She said:
“Can be found.”
“Just like I can trace the other party to the blood contract through the blood contract signed by Zhou Boping, I can also trace the whereabouts of its owner through the contract between the boa constrictor and its owner.”
“It’s just that…”
Pei Anzhu stopped mid-sentence, which made everyone's hearts twitch.
“Just what?” Minister Wen Tao asked anxiously.
At this time, Shen Yueran seemed to have thought of something, and her face turned pale for a moment:
“Is it because you don’t have enough cultivation?”
With one word from her, everyone understood.
The last time Pei Anzhu used the tracking technique, she had already entered the stage of becoming a god. She had a premonition that no one in this world would be her opponent, so she dared to use her own blood to track.
But now, her cultivation has regressed and she has fallen to the Qi refining stage, which is the same level as Shen Yueran.
With such a level of cultivation, can she still use the tracking technique? Even if she could cast it, how far could she track it?
In the past, when she was in the divine transformation stage, she could release her spiritual consciousness and chase her from Shuyunguan to an island far away from the southern sea of Dragon Kingdom. But now, she is afraid that she cannot even get out of Yuncheng.
"Is there any way?" Officer Du looked at Pei Anzhu and asked, "I remember when I first met you, your cultivation level was not that high. It seems that after killing demons and demons and accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, you It has only gradually improved. So, can I think that...as long as you continue to live broadcast and help people solve their problems, you can return to your previous cultivation level?"
Pei Anzhu shook his head and smiled bitterly:
“Although this is a solution, it is too slow.”
"You know how many things I have experienced since I have never cultivated before reaching the stage of becoming a god. In the process, I have rescued countless humans or innocent souls."
“Not to mention whether I will encounter a big case now that I start live broadcasting. Even if I do, it will still be too slow.”
The conference rooms on both sides suddenly became sad. At this time, the big leader said:
“I have watched Master Pei fight a few times recently, and I have come to understand Master Pei’s style. He never fights in uncertain battles. Now that Master Pei has proposed the tracking technique, it proves that there is still a way to restore your cultivation, right?”
As expected of a great leader, he sees problems to the point.
Pei Anzhu finally nodded:
“Yes, there is a way to improve it.”
"It is recorded in Shu Yunguan's classics that suitable elixirs can forcibly improve a person's cultivation, build a foundation and advance to the golden elixir, and the golden elixir can advance to Yuanying. As long as enough elixirs are taken, the effect is suitable. , maybe it can restore my cultivation to its previous state."
After hearing this, Shen Yueran immediately stood up uncontrollably:
“Xiaozhu, you are crazy!”
Just based on her attitude, everyone knew that using pills to improve one's cultivation was not a good idea.
“Is there any problem?” Officer Du asked.
Shen Yueran spoke directly:
"I have also read Shu Yunguan's classics. It is indeed possible to use elixirs to improve your cultivation, but for those who use elixirs, their path to immortality will be ruined in this life!"
"Not to mention, the cultivation level improved by using elixirs is not as solid as what you have cultivated yourself. Even if you forcibly improve your level, it will be illusory and ethereal. Even if you return to the **** transformation stage, it will not be the same as your previous level. Something happened.”
“What’s more, using elixirs will have side effects. In the process of upgrading, it is easy for the effects of the medicine to riot, colliding with the meridians in the body, and finally unable to bear it, the body explodes and dies.”
"So, this method is fast, but monks who really want to go a long way will not use this method! Xiaozhu, you are only in the Qi Refining stage now. If you want to forcibly advance to the God Transformation stage, I am afraid that your meridians will If you can’t stand the effects of those medicines, you will die!”
In a word, Pei Anzhu said that the method of using elixirs to improve cultivation is to bet on herself, betting that she will not die, and betting that she can succeed.
The most important thing is that even if you succeed, you will eventually die.
She is using her own life to deal with the person who hides behind the Dragon Kingdom and steals luck and life span.
Pei Anzhu walked to Shen Yueran, patted her shoulder comfortingly, and asked her to sit down. Then he looked at everyone and spoke slowly:
“Someone has to do things, and the Dragon Kingdom Xuanmen inheritance has been cut off for many years. In the current situation, I am the only one available.”
"What's more, I've always been very lucky, and I've won several bets, haven't I? Didn't I also bet when I fought against the python demon before? I bet on your trust in me, and on the python demon's underestimation and carelessness. Didn’t he win too?”
"more importantly…"
After Pei Anzhu said this, he looked at Shen Yueran and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if to persuade her:
"More importantly, I was once in the God Transformation stage, and my meridians once contained more spiritual power and have been broadened. Even if I am forced to use elixirs to accumulate them, the risk of me exploding and dying will be very small. "
“Little Moon, don’t worry about me.”
Shen Yueran heard these obviously comforting words, but did not calm down. Instead, she burst into tears:
“You are always like this! You always rush ahead alone! In the past, when your cultivation level was low, when you encountered a bear demon, you would fight it by yourself. Later, when your cultivation level increased, you would fight it by yourself when you encounter a bear demon.”
"Do you really think of yourself as a god? You are also a mortal body, and you will be injured and in pain!"
“This time, you have already exhausted your cultivation to capture the python demon. Why do you still use such extreme methods to track down that person’s whereabouts?”
“The Dragon Kingdom is in danger, but the Dragon Kingdom is everyone’s Dragon Kingdom, not yours alone!”
“You have put yourself in danger over and over again, walked through danger, and protected those who don’t know anything, but people on the Internet are still scolding you. The live broadcast is a script, an act, and a gimmick!”
Shen Yueran is the daughter of the Shenshi Group. It can be said that her life has been smooth sailing for the past twenty years, so she has developed an open-minded and tolerant character.
She doesn't mind sacrificing herself for others, and she doesn't mind giving, but she doesn't want to see Pei Anzhu wandering on the edge of life and death again and again.
Especially, this time, I have just escaped from death!
Shen Yueran will never forget that when she was on the ship, the leaders ordered the use of lethal weapons, and she will never forget that Officer Du counted down in front of her.
At that time, it was a critical moment.
Just one second, just one second, Pei Anzhu will be buried in the sea.
And everyone here today is on a safe boat, on a safe shore, in a safe conference room, and is heavily protected by people. Not even the slightest bit of wind or sun has exposed them, and even the oily skin has not been broken.
Shen Yueran just felt it was unfair. Why should Pei Anzhu do everything?
Everyone present was ashamed by Shen Yueran's words, and they all lowered their heads in unison. Officer Du was even embarrassed. It was obvious that he also remembered the scene on the boat.
Pei Anzhu felt soft in his heart after listening to Shen Yueran's words, and his eyes were a little moist.
She won’t cry.
But she was still moved by this precious feeling, which traveled across time and space and came from another world. In this strange world, Shen Yueran was the only one who truly cared about her safety.
