Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Chen Zhao tried his strength and found that this weight was almost his limit, and he couldn't lift it with one hand.

Drink——

Chen Zhao pulled hard and the barbell was lifted up.

Gaia's eyes almost popped out.

At this moment, Chen Zhao was really a humanoid monster in her eyes.

Chen Zhao could only lift this four-ton barbell to his chest, and could not lift it above his head like a regular weightlifter.

Boom——

Chen Zhao dropped the barbell, and the strength of his left arm was obviously worse than that of his right arm.

Of course, Chen Zhao's power is already strong enough under normal circumstances.

"Now I doubt whether you are human or not."

"It's just that he won't be a normal person anyway."

"Is it possible for me to reach this level of power?"

Chen Zhao thought for a while and replied: "My situation is quite special, but it is still possible to surpass your current limit."

"How much does it cost?"

"How about training Tago well?"

"I am only responsible for his skills. You are definitely more professional than me in terms of physical fitness and strength."

"Then after a while, after his rehabilitation is completed, you and he will receive my physical training together."

Gaia nodded. Chen Zhao was able to agree to her request because of friendship.

Therefore, she would not push too far. After sitting in Chen Zhao's home for more than an hour and visiting Chen Zhao's home, Gaia got up and left.

Chen Zhao had no plans to move the fitness equipment left behind by Gaia into his home.

If this thing hits the ground, it will cause great damage to the structure of the house.

So Chen Zhao planned to leave it outside. After exercising for half an hour, Chen Zhao began to pack it up, rinse it, put on casual clothes, and prepare to go out.

Chen Zhao has always paid attention to appearance. Every time he goes out, whether it is for work or to visit friends, he will tidy himself up.

Today's itinerary is to go to the Cylon family first. Yesterday Cylon called and said that his father's situation might have changed.

So Chen Zhao needed to go and take a look. When he arrived at the Sailon family's manor, the atmosphere here was still heavy.

After all, it was the Mafia, but Chen Zhao was also a regular customer here, so after a brief inspection, he was brought into the manor.

"Mr. Chen." Saion came to Chen Zhao and shook hands with Chen Zhao.

Because Chen Zhao has fully proven his ability in the past few months.

Originally, his father was judged to have only three months to live, but Chen Zhao has extended this number.

Therefore, he also received Cylon's affirmation and trust. Regarding his father's situation, he would inform Chen Zhao as soon as possible.

"Mr. Cylon, how is your father's condition?"

"I don't know the specific situation. The servant responsible for taking care of my father said that my father's cheeks kept twitching."

"When did it start?"

"It started yesterday."

Sailon led Chen Zhao to Old Sailon's bedroom. Old Sailon was sitting in a wheelchair as usual, with two servants beside him.

Cylon waved his hand and asked the two servants to leave.

Chen Zhao stepped forward to check Old Saion's pulse, heartbeat, and tongue coating, and then asked: "What has Old Saion eaten in the past few days?"

"You mean my father was poisoned?"

"No, this is a normal inquiry."

"Every day there is a bottle of nutrient solution, and then minced meat and wheat porridge, every day."

"Anything else?"

"There should be no more."

"Check the servants next to your father, or the kitchen."

"Is it true that you are still poisoned?"

"It's just a trace amount of the toxin from Lycoris sphaerum." Chen Zhao said.

Safflower Lycoris also has a very famous name, Bianhuahua.

Of course, in reality the flower of the other shore does not have the magical effect of attracting the other shore.

And it can be used as medicine in itself, and it also has a certain degree of toxicity.

It has a wide range of branches, and its main origin is Southeast Asia. It is not a rare plant.

The other shore flower is not very toxic, but of course, if you take it in excess, or if you have a physical condition like the old Cylon, it is still very easy to be life-threatening.

The person who poisoned the poison was very careful, and the old Cylon only showed mild symptoms of poisoning.

After Chen Zhao gave Old Cylon some antidote to neutralize the toxin, he explained a few words to Cylon.

"Mr. Cylon, this is originally your family matter. I don't want to get involved, but I ask you to investigate it thoroughly before handling it instead of killing all the people involved."

Sailon looked at Chen Zhao in surprise, and after pondering for half a minute, he nodded: "Okay."

…

Chen Zhao came to Ethan's hotel, said hello to Ethan, and then went straight to Li Qing's room.

"Sister Qing, I'm here to take a look at your body."

"Mr. Chen, my health is much better. You don't have to come to see me every day."

"It's okay, I'm free anyway."

Li Qing looked at Chen Zhao, observed half of the salary, and said: "Mr. Chen, I see that you look very good today, your eyebrows are light, and the gloom of the past few days has suddenly disappeared, but what big trouble has been solved?"

Chen Zhao smiled, and Li Qing's eyes were as vicious as ever.

"That thing is solved."

"Mr. Chen solved it alone?"

"No, I still have a few friends."

"Mr. Chen is indeed very powerful... By the way, has Mr. Chen read the classics of my Tsing Yi Sect?"

"Watched some."

"Is there anything you don't understand?"

Chen Zhao explained what he didn't understand one by one, and Li Qing also answered Chen Zhao's questions one by one.

Tsing Yi Sect is not a big sect in the Central Plains, but to this day, Tsing Yi Sect has experienced several ups and downs.

The Tsing Yi Sect's spells are small and precise. There are no grand or powerful spells. Most of them are used for single combat, and there are some auxiliary spells mixed in.

This is also related to the founder of Qingyi Sect, Xiang Liu Qingyi. This Xiang Liu is not the legendary fierce god Xiang Liu, but a figure from the late Tang Dynasty.

In the beginning, Xiang Liu was a successor of the Mai sect. He was extremely talented and received the true inheritance of Mai.

Later, he went down the mountain and traveled around the world, becoming famous for his medical skills and helping the world.

Due to frequent wars at that time, the people in the Central Plains were in dire straits, so they later established their own sect and took the name Qingyi.

Xiangliu was the Taoist name given to him by the master of the Mayi Sect. To show respect for the Mayi Sect, the name Xiangliu was retained.

Later generations have always called the founder of Qingyi Sect as Xiang Liu Qingyi.

Xiang Liu Qingyi is good at medical books, so many of Qingyi Sect's techniques are related to medical skills.

In addition, it also includes the techniques of the Mai Sect, so it also has a way to subjugate demons.

The Mayi Sect is actually a branch of the Maoshan Sect, the holy land of Taoism in the Central Plains. Although Xiangliu Qingyi is an independent sect, it has never claimed to break away from the Mayi Sect. Therefore, the Qingyi Sect, the Mayi Sect, and even Maoshan have always been inseparable.

Even from Li Qing's words, Chen Zhao could tell that Li Qing guessed that the founder of Qingyi Sect, Xiang Liu Qingyi, was inspired by the Mayi Sect or the Maoshan Sect.

As for the reason, it has nothing to do with the present anyway, so at most it is just a chat after dinner.

He and Li Qing are not historians, and they insist on clarifying things that happened more than a thousand years ago.
