Chapter 73 The Unkillable Young Demon
Lin Dujiao should be the only one who can solve the doubts, but Xiaoqiu is not in a hurry to see him.
In the next few days, Xiaoqiu practiced the Female Ancestor Bone Forging Fist in Banyuelin every night. Her face was fierce and her posture was crazy, as if she was fighting some enemy. In this way, if the young demon appeared again, the fight would not be It seemed too sudden.
Nothing in Yangshen Peak can escape the surveillance of the Tujiao. Xiaoqiu's only way to cover up is to turn the accident into an ordinary thing.
Some disciples had seen Xiao Qiu practicing boxing, and they were all frightened by this ferocious fighting style. However, they remembered that they had been taught that after condensing energy into elixirs and learning spells, the effect of close combat would be minimal, so they I was just curious, and gradually became accustomed to it. In the eyes of ordinary disciples, Mu Xingqiu was always a little special.
On the night of the seventh day, Xiaoqiu practiced boxing even more crazily.
When the moon rises at night, the young devil indeed appears again. It undoubtedly likes to appear once every seven days. Just like the last time, a stream of light blue smoke came out from the left nostril, absorbed the air, and quickly took shape.
The first action of the young devil was to stick out its tongue at Xiaoqiu and make a grimace - it was already a grimace, so it looked even uglier. Then it pounced on Xiaoqiu and hit her.
There was no one to disturb this fight. Xiaoqiu tried his best to pour all his hatred, fear and anger into his boxing skills. He finally understood why the successor of Nian Xin Ke taught him this boxing set, which was to let him kill him with his own hands. The little devil hiding in the body.
After fifty moves, Xiaoqiu fell to the ground and gasped, never wanting to move again. He had exhausted all his energy. This was more difficult than climbing the Ancestor Peak.
The young demon's energy is not endless. There are red spots on the light blue skin, floating feebly in the air, like a strange-shaped feather.
The more she looked at that little ugly face, the stronger Xiaoqiu's anger became. She couldn't help but feel evil and thought about bringing her own dagger next time.
I don’t know if the young demon can guess the thoughts of human beings. It made an occasional click in its mouth, and I don’t know what it meant. After regaining a little strength, it did not continue to fight Xiaoqiu, but floated away into the distance.
Xiaoqiu stared at it, hoping that this scourge would float all the way out of Yangshen Peak.
Unexpectedly, the little devil flew no more than a foot away and could no longer move forward. It seemed as if there was an invisible barrier in front of it. It shrugged its little shoulders and made a clicking sound louder and faster. It tried. It still couldn't pass for a while, and soon it tried in another direction, but the result was still the same. It clicked louder a few times, and then changed another direction...
It turns out that it can only move within one foot of me!
Xiaoqiu thought it was interesting, so she jumped up and retreated in one direction. As expected, the young demon followed him involuntarily. It screamed even more urgently, but to no avail. It couldn't stay even an inch away from Xiaoqiu.
Xiaoqiu turned around and walked deep into the forest. He was going to find Lin Dujiao. The clicking sound behind him continued all the way. When he was about to reach the door of the house, the sound suddenly disappeared. Xiaoqiu turned around and saw that the young devil had disappeared.
Before Xiaoqiu could knock on the door, the door opened automatically. First, there was a round belly, and then there was a broad, red face full of smiles. He looked up and down at Xiaoqiu, who was soaked in sweat. "You don't look like an open-minded person now." Disciple.
Lin Sa waved his hand and motioned for Xiaoqiu to go for a walk together outside.
The night was already very dark, and the stars and moon were not particularly bright. Xiaoqiu had long been accustomed to this, and felt that the scenery was very clear. He followed it for a while, but felt that his mind was in chaos.
"Zuo Liuying's imaginary wife,
Is it true that no one can see it? "Xiao Qiu hates lying and beating around the bush, but he doesn't dare to tell the truth. He understands Dao Tong's attitude towards demon species very well. Even if Lin Dujiao is ten times more kind than he is now, it's better to keep some words in his heart.
But she didn't know how long this secret could be hidden. Xiao Qiu guessed that on the first day he entered the Forbidden Secret Department, Zuo Liuying would probably use his mind control technique to go through all the thoughts and memories in his heart.
There are no secrets in front of the head of the Forbidden Secret Section.
"Except for that demonic tribulation, no one has seen it. I was still practicing in the Forbidden Secret Department at the time. I saw him at least once a day and never found anything unusual." Lin Sa glanced at Xiaoqiu and smiled with sympathy and understanding, " Are you afraid that the leader will be difficult to get along with? Don’t worry, he is just cold on the surface, but he is actually ruthless in his heart.”
Lin Sa laughed several times and found that Xiaoqiu didn't respond. He stopped laughing and said, "Zuo Liuying started practicing when he was still in his mother's womb. His whole body and mind are devoted to Taoism. He doesn't have the emotions of ordinary people and doesn't know how to do it." He likes you, but he doesn’t hate you either. As long as your practice goes smoothly, he won’t say another word about you.”
Dujiao had a little misunderstanding, but this was a good foreshadowing for Xiaoqiu's next question, "Since Zuo Liuying is ruthless, why did he still imagine a wife?"
Lin Sa was silent for a while, stopped under a big tree, patted the trunk, and several leaves slowly fell, "No one knows what Zuo Liuying really thinks. I can only guess that he probably feels lonely. Bar."
"Lonely? Taoist priests who focus on the spiritual realm will also be lonely."
"The seven emotions and six desires are not warts on the human body. You can cut them off and they will disappear. They follow you like a shadow, never leaving. Of course, ascetics can cut off the seven emotions and cut off the six desires, but you have to experience them before you can cut them off."
"Yes, that's it. If you have never been in love, how can you prove that the sword of wisdom can cut off love? Zuo Liuying has never experienced mortal or Taoist fate. He has not even experienced all the life that a normal person should have. He does not need But I guess that’s what makes him feel lonely.”
Xiao Qiu was speechless. Zuo Liuying's situation was completely different from his. He was Xiao Qiu's brother in Yelin Town. He had run, fought, been angry, and been happy. He also had a group of friends he liked very much. He never knew what loneliness was. Even if he hated the demon species very much, he would not fantasize about one.
"Thank you, Lin Dujiao. I feel much more at ease." Xiao Qiu did not ask any more.
"Your boxing skills are good." Lin Dujiao also noticed the changes in the female ancestor's bone-forging fist.
"If boxing skills affect practice, I won't practice."
"Why not practice?" Lin Sa asked in surprise, and then smiled: "Boxing skills have no direct benefits for practice, but they are not bad either. It's good to be strong after all. Don't be as fat as me, and don't be as weak as Zuo Liuying. Sometimes he came over with two female servants, and I couldn't tell who was a man and who was a woman."
Lin Sa laughed happily, showing little respect for the chief seat. Xiao Qiu laughed with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
He couldn't find the answer, so he had to find a way to get rid of the young demon himself.
In the days that the young demon appeared, Xiao Qiu used a dagger to stab the young demon's chest, but it was not affected at all. It even kicked Xiao Qiu's chin hard. It didn't feel any pain at all, and no blood flowed out of its body.
He tried to escape, shuttling through the woods like the wind, and the young demon was forced to follow him ten feet away. The clacking sound was like two blacksmiths taking turns to hammer a newly-made sword. In the end, they were all exhausted. Xiao Qiu lay on the ground gasping for breath, and the young demon disappeared with a puff.
In the end, he only had the fight left, but the reason for doing so had nothing to do with killing the young demon - it turned out that it was unkillable - it was purely an instinctive reaction of not admitting defeat. The young demon appeared once every seven days, either trying to escape the ten-foot range, or jumping up and down to provoke him.
The only thing that comforted Xiao Qiu was that no one except him could see or hear the young demon. Although its hands and feet were as hard as iron bars and hurt him to the bone, it never left any scars. Xiao Qiu felt that he had suffered serious injuries on his face several times, but it turned out to be a false alarm.
Days passed, and Xiao Qiu could no longer remember how many times the young demon appeared. The time of fighting the young demon seemed to pass very quickly, and the time for the selection of disciples for the ten subjects of Pangshan was suddenly approaching.
On October 15, the selection of disciples will be held in the Sizu Hall. For the three-year disciples, this day is crucial: more than 40 outstanding people will be selected by each department. Some of them are still a little short of the three-field. After entering the department, they will get through the last hurdle as soon as possible with the help of their senior brothers and sisters; some disciples who are slow in progress but still have the possibility of advancement will continue to stay in Yangshen Peak for examination, which may take up to four or five years; as for those disciples who have not made progress for too long, they will either voluntarily leave Pangshan and return to their hometown to live an ordinary life, or go to Zhiyong Institute to learn a so-called skill and serve Pangshan Taoism in other ways, where they still have a glimmer of hope, ww． ashsh can continue to practice and wait for the favor of Laozufeng Taiyuan one day.
This day is especially important to Xiaoqiu. His fear of Zuo Liuying is getting stronger and stronger. If there is still one person in Pangshan who can find the young demon, it will not be the Dujiao, the Liuguang Baojian, or even the Grandmaster Ning Qiwei, but it must be the head of the Forbidden Secret Department.
In some aspects, the young demon is too similar to Zuo Liuying's imagined wife.
Since that conversation, Fangfang has found a lot of books about demons, but they have little to do with Xiaoqiu's situation, and he can't explain it too clearly. In the end, he can only persuade Fangfang to concentrate on her practice and not to worry about it anymore.
Fangfang has already opened up the upper Dantian Niwan Palace, but she has not yet passed the heavenly tribulation. Such progress can rank in the top ten among all disciples. If nothing unexpected happens, she will be selected by a certain subject in the first round. Her first choice is not the Five Elements subject, but the Sutra Recitation subject.
"I don't like fighting, even Taoist fights." She explained to Xiaoqiu helplessly, "I like to recite scriptures, it can bring me peace, and I can also read a lot of books."
Fangfang's choice has another reason. In this year's selection order, the Five Elements subject ranks second. If they can't get Mu Xingqiu, they will definitely choose Shen Ji. If Fangfang wants to enter the Five Elements subject, she will have to wait until the second round or even later.
Xiao Qiu once wanted to refuse to enter the Forbidden Secrets Department to avoid Zuo Liuying, but every time he saw Lin Sa's happy smile, he kept his words to himself. In the end, he could only comfort himself: Zuo Liuying might not be able to see the existence of the young demon at a glance. As long as he didn't use mind control, he might still be able to escape this disaster.
