The Devil's Guide

"The so-called advantages of magic tools are nothing more than formations, talismans, and magic weapons. In the final analysis, it is the application of resources. Our application of resources is still too crude." Ao Xianzhen said.

"Well, there is indeed a gap between us and the human race in these aspects." Niu Si said.

"Not just a gap, there is simply no comparison. In the final analysis, the real resources are not these materials, but knowledge. The human race has knowledge that we cannot reach, so we can only be controlled by others while sitting on the treasure mountain." Ao Xianzhen said.

"Knowledge is also a resource?" Niu Si naturally knew the importance of knowledge. Niu Si was familiar with the saying that knowledge is power when he was in elementary school. But it was the first time he heard that knowledge is a resource.

"Haha, is there anything difficult to understand? Look at the white wild thorns below. For us, this thing is not only useless, but also has some harm to the body. We demons avoid this thing. But in the human race, this thing can not only be used as medicine to treat diseases, but also can be extracted into a variety of ingredients for refining tools, making talismans, and even practicing, etc. Every year, a large number of herbalists are willing to take risks to come here to collect these things." Ao Xianzhen pointed to a piece of white thorns below and said.

Niu Si couldn't help but nod secretly, and he admired this demon master in his heart. This person is not only powerful, but also has extraordinary knowledge.

"It can be seen that without knowledge, even if you face a treasure mountain, you don't know that this is a usable resource. If you have knowledge, these useless things will immediately become rare treasures." Ao Xianzhen said.

"That's true, but these are external things after all, and they are not as reliable as your own strength." Niu Si said.

"Haha, there is no such thing as external things. Knowledge itself is power. Can we survive without these external things? We are born between heaven and earth, and we have to coexist with these external things." Ao Xianzhen laughed.

Niu Si's heart was shocked. If someone on Earth said that knowledge is power, Niu Si would not be surprised. But in this world, it was the first time that he heard this from someone else.

"At the level of adults, the role of these external things should be very small. Why do adults care about these things?" Niu Si didn't care about Ao Ying's identity this time, and couldn't help asking.

"Haha, this is a good question. When you reach the state of transformation, the role of external things is very small. This is what most people think. But I think it's not that the role of external things is small, but that our knowledge is not enough, and we can't play the role of external things at all. Our biggest obstacle is not the lack of resources, but our ignorance." Ao Xianzhen laughed.

Niu Si's heart was shocked again. This may not mean anything to others, but it's different for Niu Si. He is also a person who is aware of his own ignorance.

In recent years, no matter where Niu Si went or what kind of difficulties he encountered, he would never let go of any books he got. It is because he knows that he is ignorant.

"Your wisdom is beyond ordinary people. Ao Ying admires you." Niu Si's words are sincere. Only when people understand their own ignorance can theyOnly knowledge can open the door to wisdom, and Ao Xianzhen has obviously reached this point.

"It is a blessing to discuss Taoism with fellow Daoist Niu. The scenery here is beautiful, and it would be good for fellow Daoist to die here." Ao Xianzhen said as he had already dug a claw into Niu Si's heart.

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you. You led me here all the way and sent them away. Obviously, you had discovered it long ago." Niu Si stretched out his hand and pointed at Ao Xianzhen's claw, and took advantage of the momentum to retreat and distance himself.

"Aren't you good at earth escape? Why don't you run away?" Ao Xianzhen said with a smile.

"Since you deliberately led me here, you obviously won't leave me a chance to earth escape. I guessed it right." Niu Si said.

"You have some knowledge. It's just a pity for Ao Ying. Is he dead?" Ao Xianzhen said.

"I appeared here, so he is naturally dead. How did you find me? I don't think I have revealed anything." Niu Si said.

"Your skill in disguise and concealment is quite extraordinary. Naturally, you didn't reveal anything. But if you say that you discovered this, it was not my credit. It was Ao Ying's credit." Ao Xianzhen said.

"Ao Ying's credit?" Niu Si couldn't help but wonder.

"No matter how useful this technique is, you can't use it all the time, especially in front of a knowledgeable cultivator like Ao Ying. Many years ago, when Ao Ying knew that you had this technique of disguise, he came to me and said that this technique was too threatening to my demon clan and asked for a way to crack it. I actually figured out some small tricks, so I felt it as soon as you appeared in front of me." Ao Xianzhen said.

"The look you gave me in the cave was also to confirm whether I was real or fake. It's ridiculous that I thought I passed the test." Niu Si said.

"Fellow Daoist Niu's skill is better than I expected. Although I had some doubts at that time, I was not completely sure, so we had this long conversation." Ao Xianzhen said slowly, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry to take action. Niu Si had no intention of running away.

"Oh, but I said something wrong." Niu Si thought about the details of the conversation carefully, and really didn't know where he went wrong.

"Fellow Daoist can be said to have been exposed from the first sentence." Ao Xianzhen laughed.

"Oh, what do you mean." Niu Si said.

"Do you know that my discussion today was made by Ao Ying at that time. So you were wrong from the first sentence. It's a pity for Ao Ying. My Fire Dragon Clan has many talents that are stronger than his, but there is only one person like him who is willing to think with his mind in all these years." Ao Xianzhen couldn't help but sigh as he said this.

"So that's how it is. I admire Ao Ying's wisdom, and I also admire the Monster King's wisdom and tactics. But I don't understand why the Monster King would do such an unwise thing as colluding with the demons." Niu Si said.

'Unwise? Haha, fellow Niu Daoist, putting aside our positions, how long do you think the monsters can survive in the human world? 'Ao Xianzhen said.

"Although there are frictions between the human and monster races now, they are relatively balanced. It may not be as pessimistic as you say, Monster King." Niu Si frowned.

"Niu Daoist"Your words are a bit against your will, right? Without equal strength, how can there be balance? It's just that the human race's high-level officials don't want to drain the pond to fish, so they deliberately left a breath to keep the demon race here. If the human race is in a bad mood one day, it's normal to come and destroy the previous wave and vent their anger." Ao Xianzhen said.

"What the demon king said is a bit exaggerated. With you, the demon king, in charge of the wilderness, how can the human cultivators dare to come just like that?" Niu Si said.

Although Ao Xianzhen's tone was a bit extreme, the facts were indeed roughly the case, and Niu Si couldn't refute it.

"Haha, fellow Niu is here. Ao Ying is the hope of my fire dragon clan, and fellow Daoist can kill him just like that." Ao Xianzhen said.
