Don't mess with the little apprentice sister! She is greedy and immoral

"How could he know? After all, Yunniang even gave up her demon pill for him."

"!" This was somewhat beyond Qin Zhen's expectations.

You know, such an action is tantamount to humans abandoning their own hearts.

Although some of the words sounded a bit unkind, Qin Zhen still asked the question in her heart: "How did she survive after giving up the demon pill?"

If abandoning the demon pill can turn one into a human, and except for the loss of one's own cultivation and demonic energy, there will be no other impact, then why was the demon clan so miserable when they were persecuted by the demon clan?

Lao He was silent for a few breaths, then he replied in a low voice: "She begged me."

"What did I ask you for?"

"Please ask Fairy Liyun for a spell."

"A spell that can allow her to live as a human? That price must be high."

The usual fate of a demon who loses its demon pill is to lose all its cultivation and turn into its original form without intelligence. Then it will die within just a few years.

Lao He's lips trembled, but no sound came out.

This time, Qin Zhen rarely urged him to hurry up.

Sure enough, Lao He soon gave the answer -

"The price is a demon pill that you must dissect when you are awake, and... a lifetime of pain."

"A lifetime of pain? What do you mean?"

"First it's your eyesight, then your hands, legs, internal organs, and finally your heart. As long as you live one day, you will feel pain everywhere in your body. It's like there's an invisible blunt knife, cutting your body and then taking it away."

Lao He spoke these words with great pain, as if all the things that had happened before were right before his eyes.

"Even so, she is going to go to that person?"

"Yes."

"Won't you stop it?"

"Do you think I didn't try to stop her? After I learned the price of the talisman from Li Yun, I packed up and sent Li Yun away overnight! I was afraid that she would go to Li Yun to ask for the talisman!"

Lao He was probably very angry, and he was jumping up and down when he said this.

"But she succeeded. Did Fairy Li Yun agree?"

"When I went to ask her, Li Yun had already made it clear that she would not give me this kind of spell, because she didn't like people who humiliated themselves. If I dared to ask her for this spell, she would kill my daughter and me on the spot. After all, it's better to suffer a short pain than a long one, and it will be easier for everyone."

Qin Zhen: “…”

How should I put it? Qin Zhen was not surprised at all after hearing this.

This statement is really in the style of Fairy Li Yun.

Even though she might have been more lively and domineering back then, the things in her bones remained unchanged.

"Then how did your daughter Yunniang succeed?" Qin Zhen was puzzled.

Lao He frowned: "I don't know."

"You don't know? You haven't checked it in all these years?"

"How could I not check?" Lao He retorted without even thinking, "But that's the weirdest thing, I can't find anything."

"When you saw your daughter again, had she already used the spell?"

Old He shook his head.

"...Speak human language." Qin Zhen always felt that the clues were scattered and messy, without any focus, and she was a little annoyed.

Knowing that Qin Zhen was getting impatient, Lao He simply quickened his pace and said, "I don't even know if it was a talisman. Li Yun mentioned before that this kind of talisman can only work if it is placed on the position of the demon pill, but I didn't find any talismans on her. If it was that thing, I would definitely risk my life on the spot to destroy the talisman."

"What kind of magic or spell is that?" Qin Zhen frowned.

"That shouldn't be the case. I didn't sense any spells or incantations at that time."

"When I rushed to Yunniang's place, she had already dissected her demon pill. There was no one in the courtyard, but the demon pill was missing."

"I stopped Yunniang's bleeding, and she slowly woke up. But the moment she opened her eyes, two lines of blood and tears fell from them. Her eyes, which had been sparkling with light, suddenly turned into a white film, and she could no longer see."

"The courtyard we are in now is the courtyard where Yunniang lived at that time. I have not moved a single blade of grass or tree. The place where you are standing now is the place where Yunniang fell down that year."

After Lao He finished speaking, Qin Zhen lowered her head and looked at the ground beneath her feet.

No, it's not accurate to say it's the ground.

The yard was covered with a thick layer of white sand, covering a wide area. Except for a beautiful pool in the corner of the yard, the rest of the yard was covered with this fine, white sand.

This is not ordinary sea sand, but moonlight sand, a defensive magic weapon.

This kind of sand, no matter what it is, will definitely leave traces and smells behind, and these traces and smells can only be removed after half a month.

And when the people or things approaching have malicious intentions, the sand grains will emit a silver-white light full of Zen, expelling the malicious things.

If Qin Zhen remembered correctly, this seemed to be a fragment of a magic weapon forged by Ku Ji, a Buddhist disciple of Lingshui Temple - a drop in the ocean.

When the Buddhist disciple was sparring with the ancestor, the magic weapon was broken, but the Buddhist disciple was not angry, and gave the fragments to many people on the spot.

Qin Zhen had been particularly interested in this magical weapon in her previous life, not because of anything else, but because -

This thing has a very magical function, which is a bit similar to "infinite proliferation", or in more common terms: replication.

For example, the moonlight sand in this yard looks huge, abundant and thick, but in fact there is only a small handful of real moonlight sand. It is only because the fragments of the magic weapon are buried in it that the magic weapon copied the moonlight sand and piled it up in the entire yard.

This is why, although Qin Zhen had seen so many magical weapons in her previous life, she was particularly impressed by this one. It was because it was too novel.

But now is not the time to think about this.

The important thing is——

"After talking for so long, you still haven't told me why you think Yun Ya is the murderer of the missing woman."

To be honest, Qin Zhen's patience has really run out.

When Qin Zhen reminded Lao He of this, he realized that he had not mentioned this matter yet, and he became even more anxious.

It's not that he didn't want to say it on purpose, it's because he felt that the things he said might just be clues, so he couldn't grasp the key points from them.

"Although I broke off relations with Yunniang in anger because she treated herself so badly in order to marry Yunya, ignored my advice and insisted on doing so, even threatening to commit suicide, she is my daughter after all. I still often use the power of my bloodline to confirm whether she is okay."

"So you know she's still alive? But Yunya said she died of illness?"

"not only that."
