Chapter 0440 The Deep Pool in Memory

King Jin counts the time of his transformation into a demon every day - today is the 956th day. He is not the first batch of spirit beasts to successfully transform into a demon, but he is the most successful. He not only has the strongest physique, but also has several powerful abilities. The interval between taking the demon pill is also the longest.

But he still needs those small pills or their substitutes. He can only last for six months at most, and then his physique will gradually weaken and his abilities will also fail.

King Jin cherishes his demon power very much. It is precisely because of his abilities such as flying and breathing fire that he has become the leader of the spirit demon clan and is called "King Jin". He is the strongest among the spirit demons and also the leader. He has the obligation to find a bright path for the clan: free, be a demon for generations, and no longer rely on the demon pills given by the giant demon king.

But the road ahead is so confusing. Most spirit beasts were born and raised in Pangshan and have never seen the outside world. Even the oldest spirit demon can't tell what the world two hundred miles away looks like.

King Jin himself also urgently needs guidance. He was only six years old, and had been a demon for less than three years. When he was angry, he would soar into the sky and spit fire everywhere. Like a child, he would vent his anger on anything that came into his sight first, but he would regret it afterwards.

He could not get this kind of guidance from other spirits. The spirits respected him, but they were also afraid of him. They had also never seen the world. Their memories were only about where the grass was fresher and more delicious, and how clear the spring water was in the past.

His parents could not help King Jin. His mother died tragically during the transformation process. The little wisdom she gained was used to cry for her son. The eldest son was dead, and she could not see how long the youngest son could live.

His father was not even a spirit beast, so he was not qualified to take the demon pill. He was completely confused about what happened, and just knelt beside the mare and wailed. He only left two things for his son: reddish-brown fur and the image of a strange human.

King Jin transformed into a demon in front of his father. When he showed the appearance of a human, his father showed a look of joy and stood up from the ground. In order to maintain his father's joy, King Jin kept changing his form until the old horse was completely satisfied. Not long after that, Lao Ma died, and King Jin's human form was fixed, but he rarely showed it.

Ordinary demons were even worse. After witnessing the mass death of spirit beasts, King Jin did not trust any demons. His heart was filled with hatred. He would rather risk his life to snatch the demon pills than beg for mercy.

A year ago, King Jin met Long Mo in this nearly desperate state. The spirit demon was more accustomed to calling her "Yishi Jun". She said she was not a demon, but she was not a human either. King Jin never completely believed in her, but he learned a lot from her: how to control his own demon power freely, how to stimulate the demon pill and more demon arts, and knowledge about the whole world.

Two months ago, the not-so-solid relationship between the two sides was interrupted. The experiment of transforming spirit beasts into demons has ended. The giant demon king Qi Wu has issued an ultimatum. The spirit demons should either join the demon army and accept further transformation, or die on their own and never get the demon pills. The angry spirit monsters rushed out of their territory to attack, snatched some demon pills, and officially became enemies with the demon soldiers. From then on, they no longer welcomed Yi Shijun Long Mo.

But a few days ago, Long Mo came uninvited, holding an unconscious human woman in his arms, "She is Taoist Pangshan, you may have seen her."

There are indeed spirit monsters who remember Yang Qingyin, but it is no longer important. The spirit monsters had hoped for Pangshan's help when they were in the most painful time, but they never got any news. Now they only have resentment in their hearts, resentment towards all humans and demons.

"Taoist Pangshan never cared about the life and death of spirit beasts. Now that we have transformed into demons, why should we help a half-dead Taoist Pangshan?" King Jin refused to accept Yang Qingyin on behalf of all spirit monsters.

It has only been more than five years since the Dragon Demon transformed into a human form. He looked at King Jin and the spirit demons as if he was looking at a group of ignorant children, full of love but no respect. "Of course it is very beneficial, otherwise I would not send her here. The art of transforming into a demon is far from perfect. You have to take the demon pills again every once in a while. This is your biggest weakness, and the Giant Demon King is unwilling to help you solve this problem."

"Can she help us?" King Jin didn't quite believe it.

"The Taoism is boundless. I only know that if she succeeds in transforming into a demon, she will definitely try every possible way to solve the problem, and you don't need to ask for it at all."

The Dragon Demon's smile and words are always very convincing. King Jin agreed to accept Yang Qingyin, and reluctantly transformed into a human form.

The spirit beast grows fast, and the human-shaped King Jin is already a teenager of sixteen or seventeen years old. He stood in front of Yang Qingyin at the request of the Dragon Demon. At first, he was more interested in the Dragon Demon's complex magic, and gradually began to pay attention to the changes in the Taoist priest's expression.

Shock, confusion, joy, hatred, shyness, fear, begging...

King Jin had never seen such a rich expression on any face. This was like a magic spell. He felt a little sympathetic to the female Taoist priest from Pangshan and couldn't help asking, "She didn't just take the demon pill, right? There must be other injuries."

"Love injury." The Dragon Demon stood behind Yang Qingyin and cast spells with many magic weapons. "The Taoist priests call it 'love calamity'. It can be hidden in the heart and completely eliminated one day, but the demon pill caused the love calamity to break out early."

"Why do you have to cast the spell in front of me?"

"The Love Tribulation and Demon Transformation cannot be done at the same time. I can't stop the Demon Transformation, so I have to suspend her Love Tribulation, which means removing part of her memory. My spells are not that powerful, so I need to let her see you. Bring out those memories. Oh, you look a lot like the person she likes."

"Mu Xingqiu." King Jin whispered. He remembered this name, but he didn't have much of a good impression of it. He always felt that this Taoist priest had betrayed his father, Lao Zhuangma.

"The Taoist priests' so-called ruthlessness and abandonment of desires is just a kind of hiding, but they have invented thousands of ingenious hiding methods, which seem to have really cut off the seven emotions and six desires. Occasionally, a certain emotion will burst out suddenly, and the more hidden it is, the more it will be hidden." The deeper, the greater the rebound force. This is the so-called Tao tribulation. Among the hundreds of Tao tribulations, Yang Qingyin used magic to bury it deep in her heart. It is not easy to completely remove it, and she doesn't know if it will happen. Other dangers."

There was no worried expression on the Dragon Demon's face, and he seemed very proud of his magic. "The demon clan doesn't have to go through tribulations, so there is no magic that specifically removes memories. I figured this out myself, and it may not be like Taoism." So safe, but absolutely effective.”

Yang Qingyin was completely in her own world and could not hear the outside sounds. The expression on her face slowly turned into indifference. King Jin became more and more sympathetic to her, "You just said to 'pause' her love affair." , will she relapse?"

"No one can say for sure." The dragon demon could smile at any time and recover all kinds of demon weapons floating in the air. "King Jin, you can return to the form you like. At least she won't be there again for a while. Tortured by Qing Jie, if she can successfully transform into a demon in the next few days - Qing Jie will naturally cease to exist. "

King Jin immediately changed back to Jin Tai Pony, "Will she side with the spirit demon?"

"If successful, she will be the first Taoist priest to transform into a demon, and she has endured a painful process similar to yours. Which side do you think she will be on?"

The dragon demon left, leaving Yang Qingyin among the spirit demons.

King Jin got inspiration from the words of the dragon demon. He led a group of spirit demons to stand in front of Yang Qingyin, waited for her to wake up, and patiently told her the origins of the spirit demons and the pros and cons of the demon-changing pill.

The reaction of the female Taoist priest was better than King Jin expected. Yang Qingyin still remembered most of the things, including how she fell into the trap of the demon clan and was forced to take the demon pill, but she couldn't think about it in detail. There was a huge abyss in her memory. , no matter what she tried to remember, she would go around the edge of the abyss, but just looking into it would make her dizzy.

She can only rely on instinct and intuition to make a decision: she will continue the demon transformation process, make every effort to keep herself alive, and work with the spirit demon to find a complete solution to get rid of her dependence on the demon transformation pill.

Yang Qingyin stayed among the spirit demons. King Jin turned into a human and passed in front of her several times, but the face that once showed almost all human expressions towards him now only remained indifferent, without any emotion at all. King Jin didn't know what it was yet, but he knew that the dragon demon removed not only the memory of a person in the female Taoist priest's heart, but also the most important part of her emotions - this female Taoist priest would no longer have any love at all. Feel.

Such Yang Qingyin is a good thing for the spirit demon. She cannot recall the past in depth, so she has to devote herself to the present and study all aspects of demon transformation. The strange thing is that since the memory was removed, the pain she suffered has been greatly alleviated. Three days later, she figured out the reason, "In the past, I resisted the process of transforming into a demon, but now I voluntarily transform into a demon. The source of the pain is not the transformation." Demon, but the fear of becoming a demon.”

Yang Qingyin was right to the point. Spiritual beasts all have deep fears when they transform into monsters. The higher the death rate, the deeper the fear, and the more painful it is.

Yang Qingyin, who couldn't recall too many things, would often have a small memory pop up inexplicably. Most of them were meaningless, but some were very important. On the fifth day of her stay among the spirit demons, she remembered an important thing: "Summoning." The Taoist Priest from Shan's Alchemy Department told me that he speculated that the main ingredients of the Demon Transformation Pill are special demon pills and demon relics. Why don't we make the Demon Transformation Pill ourselves? There are a lot of improvements to it out there. As for the demonic relics, there must be many buried in the Demonic Land."

The dragon demon claimed that Yang Qingyin would be of great help to the spirit demons, and the promise finally came true. Not all spirit demons were willing to believe her. Some spirit demons who had not been successful in transforming into demons were filled with despair and were unwilling to participate in any more adventures. King Jin believed in Yang Qingyin and even regarded her as a messenger sent by the gods - he learned some legends about the ancient gods from the demon clan, and his belief in them was growing day by day.

On the nine hundred and fifty-sixth day of the successful demon transformation, the weather was sunny, but a violent storm suddenly fell after noon. King Jin took this as a mysterious revelation and decided to lead the spirit demon clan and more than a hundred demon soldier captives to the place where the demons were. Looking for the last hope.

Yang Qingyin was walking among the demons, and she felt as if there was a rope behind her. She suddenly turned around and saw endless barren mountains, with a chaotic and unclean air in the distance. She tried to think about where this feeling of being tied came from. However, he came to the deep pool in his heart.
