On the way to find Shen Yuan, Qi Xiu thought a lot, his thoughts were like a mess, he couldn't think of anything, and when he saw Shen Yuan, his turbulent heart unexpectedly calmed down.
Qi Xiuping retreated from the surrounding people, leaving him and Shen Yuan alone.
"You..." Qi Xiu was about to say something, but suddenly saw Shen Yuan make a move.
He had no cultivation, Qi Xiu could easily dodge his sword edge, but he deliberately restrained his conditioned reflex, and the white blade pierced into his chest, bringing out warm blood.
Shen Yuan's hand was whiter than a sword, and his expression was gloomy.
"I'm sorry," Qi Xiu sighed, ignoring the pain in his chest, and held Shen Yuan's hand, "I was also..."
Qi Xiu wanted to explain to Shen Yuan, but she didn't know where to start, even if the reason was perfect, it sounded like an excuse.
Qi Xiu can understand Shen Yuan, being a good son of heaven, his dantian was ruined and his cultivation base was inexplicably destroyed, and he came to the devil world as a forbidden servant.Although Shen Yuan concealed it very well, he could still tell that he had been in a bad mood because of his cultivation. Before the matter on this side was resolved, he was forcibly insulted on the other side. It would be a hurdle for anyone.
"What's your reason? Haven't compiled it yet?" Shen Yuan looked at him coldly, with sarcasm.He raised his hand, and the long sword came out, bringing out two or three drops of blood.
The devil world focused on body cultivation, and Shen Yuan really didn't target the vital point, Qi Xiu's injuries healed up in a short time.
"I don't know if you have heard of the forbidden area of the demons before..." Qi Xiu said hesitantly.
A long time ago, in the battle of artifacts, the fairy world and the demon world each won one. All along, both sides have not figured out the usage of the artifacts and have always been afraid of the artifacts in the hands of the other party, so that a delicate peace has been reached.
Shen Yuan has seen the artifact of the fairy world before, so he won't mention it yet.The magical artifacts obtained by the demon world in the past look strange, like a broken mirror. Several generations of demon masters have not figured out its operating principle. If you get closer, you may be killed by the mirror's backlash. This is the change of the master of the demon world. frequent reasons.Later, a demon lord felt that this thing was evil and caused many harms, so he simply threw it into the pool of blood, and it was gradually forgotten by people.
It wasn't until the previous demon lord—that is, Qi Xiu's father—turned it out again.He unexpectedly discovered that as long as he held the fragments of the fallen artifact from the previous demon masters, he could get close to it and avoid being attacked to a great extent, but he still couldn't really get close to the mirror.
There are layers of barriers around the mirror, and with the fragments, they can only get closer to the mirror than ordinary people.
The shards of the mirror assimilated the human breath, but if you go forward, you will still be backlashed.Only by truly allowing the bloodline to be assimilated by the artifact.The demon master realized that no one had tried this method yet, and the risk was extremely high. He hesitated again and again, and actually fused the fragments of the mirror into Qi Xiu's heart.
"...that heart-eating mirror will be backlashed even if you get close to it, making people's blood go backwards. Once it is fused into the blood, the consequences can be imagined." Qi Xiu sighed, the wound on his heart had completely healed, Not a single scar remained.
"Then what happened later? You..."
Everything after that is no longer under human control.
Qi Xiu's father's obsession with the Heart-Eating Mirror is immeasurable. He uses Qi Xiu's heart to nourish blood, and orders him to bleed every month so that he can smear his whole body to hide from the enchantment. In the end, he gets lost in the eye of the formation and dies. in.
Qi Xiu succeeded to the throne and became the new Demon Lord.
He didn't want to touch the Mirror of Devourer again, but things backfired.
Only he can see what is reflected in the heart-eating mirror. Through this mirror, he can see what is in anyone's heart, and the sky is high and the earth is far and wide.At the same time, the backlash from the Heart-Eating Mirror gradually reflected on him.At the beginning, Qi Xiu would experience severe pain in his tendons and veins, and his blood would go retrograde every time. Later, this time became longer and longer, gradually affecting his xinxing. Usually unimaginable.
For example, the wrongdoing towards Shen Yuan.
"I didn't think carefully about this matter, but if I didn't forcefully mobilize the exercises, it wouldn't be..." Qi Xiu paused, picked up the long sword on the ground and handed it to Shen Yuan, "I won't guard against you, as long as you calm down .”
Shen Yuan looked at the sword in his hand for two or three seconds, thoughtful.Things like this in the Demon Realm can definitely be regarded as Xinmi, and Qi Xiu told him like this is enough to show sincerity, but there are still two things that cannot be explained clearly.
He originally thought that he was the only one who would always feel inexplicably familiar with Qi Xiu, but he didn't want Qi Xiu to be the same to him. Could it be that they really had some relationship in their previous life?
And then.
Shen wished that Qi Xiu hadn't completely lost his sanity at the beginning, and he still had two parts of sobriety, but suddenly, as if his soul had reached an incomparable fit, he completely accepted Qi Xiu from body to heart, as if he had been drugged by someone. .
Shen Yuan turned his sword away and looked directly into Qi Xiu's eyes: "Take me to see, you demons are against the forbidden area."
The demons originally had no forbidden area, but because of some changes in the Heart-Eating Mirror, they set up a forbidden area to suppress them for fear of hurting people.
Qi Xiu didn't agree immediately.
Ever since he opened the seal on the Heart-Eating Mirror, he began to behave autonomously. Even he couldn't figure it out, so he had no choice but to lock it in the blood pool and set a restriction.He rashly brought Shen Yuan over there, he was afraid of hurting Shen Yuan.
"I'm afraid it won't work," Qi Xiu said, "I'm not sure if it will attack you yet."
Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows, just about to explode.
Qi Xiu said: "I'll take you there after your tendons have been mended and your cultivation has recovered. It's safer."
Shen Yuan ignored the Heart-Eating Mirror in amazement: "Can my cultivation be restored?"
Since ancient times, there have been many people like him, but I have never heard of anyone who can recover.
Qi Xiu nodded: "This is exactly the second thing I want to tell you. Ling Zhuo is preparing to hold the election of the young head. He also announced that you have been brutally killed by evildoers from the demon world, and he intends to avenge you."
This is really a thief shouting catch a thief.
Shen Yuan was upset by his operation: "What can you do?"
Qi Xiu hesitated for a while: "In your current situation, it is not difficult to connect the tendons of your hands and hamstrings, but the damage to the dantian is more troublesome. You should have heard that in the magic world, we do not have dantians, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is stored in the tendons. The veins have a repairing effect on the body."
Shen Yuan understood: "You want me to practice the exercises of the devil world?"
Qi Xiu didn't speak.After all, Shen Yuan is a well-behaved young head, and he disagrees with this kind of practice that can be regarded as a party and demon world evildoer.
Qi Xiu said: "Other than that, I have nothing else to do, and I heard that Ling Zhuo's young master was elected to join forces with several elders and heads of various factions, and the day was chosen on the day when Zhihe's master left the customs. One day, the purpose is to use the power of the crowd to force him to submit."
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth: "How sure are you?"
Qi Xiu said truthfully: "Only [-]%."
After all, this method has never been tried before.
I can only gamble.
Shen Yuan nodded, gritted his teeth and agreed.
Talking about these exhausting, he sat back on the bed again, a little tired.Qi Xiu, who was out of control before, was tossed hard, as if he was broken in the middle by someone, and there was no place in his body that was comfortable, and he had exhausted his remaining strength by forcing himself to chat with Qi Xiu.
Qi Xiu had a different thought in his heart.
His eyes were dim, he glanced at Shen Yuan's waist, his Adam's apple rolled up and down.Shen Yuan has a slender waist and long legs, the shape of the waist dimples on both sides is beautiful, and the waist is flexible, so he couldn't help pinching it hard when he held it.
"Why are you still here?" How could Shen Yuan not feel such fiery eyes, he couldn't help but look at Qi Xiu, and reminded him.
"One more thing..." Qi Xiu restrained his gaze reservedly, "You have practiced spiritual energy to build alchemy since childhood, even if the dantian is abolished, there are still some scattered spiritual energy wandering in the veins. I'm afraid it will cause discomfort."
This is a reminder to Shen Yuan that there were some people who built alchemy before to make up for their congenital deficiencies and wanted to practice the skills of the demon world to improve their body and prolong their lifespan. Halfway through the practice, they exploded and died due to the collision of energy pulses.
Shen Yuan asked: "Do you have a solution?"
"There is a way."
Qi Xiu turned his eyes away, his Adam's apple rolled up and down: "Double, double cultivation."
Shen Yuan reflexively sat down for a while before he could swear, when he heard Qi Xiu explaining to him nervously.
After yesterday's incident, Qi Xiu realized that the reason why Shen Yuan can alleviate his backlash is related to his special constitution. When their yin and yang are in harmony, Shen Yuan will automatically export the energy of the heart-eating mirror in his body that is in conflict with the original breath.
Conversely, he can also help Shen Yuan to sort out the demonic aura wandering in his body, and then export it out after the goal is achieved.
Shen Yuan didn't speak for a moment, Qi Xiu didn't force him, he just said to let him think about it and planned to go out.
The moment he closed the door, Shen Yuan stopped him: "Wait."
He was surprisingly calm, his eyes seemed to be looking at Qi Xiu but not him.
"It's just dual cultivation." Shen Yuan said, "We each get what we need."
Things have come to this, they have done what they should do and should not do, Shen Yuan is not a hypocritical person, and he can clearly distinguish the priorities.
"When will it start?" Shen Yuan asked.
Qi Xiu didn't expect him to figure it out so quickly, Shen Yuan's attitude was frank and calm, which made him look awkward.
"Let's go, in a few days," Qi Xiu said, "you should have a good rest first."
***
There is a lot of wind and sand at the enchantment, and the ten-mile radius is the default gray zone, where fish and dragons are mixed, and if you go further, it will be the sites of those famous and decent families.Qi Xiu took the elixir to restrain his breath, and pulled the brim of his hat even lower.
Originally Qi Xiu's plan was to take the birds of the Demon Realm, but Shen Yuan felt that this was too risky and would easily cause riots. After discussing, they decided to go to the teleportation formations that Changya set up in various places. Just in time for Ling Zhuo's young leader to be promoted.
The scene was very lively, Ling Zhuo made a big show, and after hypocritically bowing to another senior brother who came to challenge but was not as skilled as him, he faintly assumed the style of the young master: "Is there any other senior brother who wants to come up to challenge?" , Ling is waiting here."
Shen Yuan looked around, and there were people sitting around. For 4 years, Kunlun was not good at cultivation, and it gradually declined. However, it was still ranked among the five sects due to the exquisite magic tools.
Kunlun only sent two elders to sit on the lower seat, and Zhihe sat on the upper seat, but it was obvious that his complexion was not good. The six elders of Changya were second only to Zhihe, but this...
Shen Yuan squinted his eyes, the first position on Zhihe's right was the seat of the young master, and the old man second only to this position was not from their long life, he was dressed plainly, with the emblem on his chest It is the pattern of going to Luan.
At this moment, the old man was staring at Ling Zhuo on the competition stage.
Ling Zhuo stood there for a while and no one came up to the stage. He cupped his hands and was about to say something to end the competition when he suddenly heard "Wait a minute" from the audience.
The voice line is the familiar arrogance.
Ling Zhuo froze slightly.
Before Shen Yuan came to the stage, Qi Xiu repeatedly urged: "You promised, you won't do anything today."
Shen Yuan pushed his hand away calmly: "Troublesome."
Hearing the sound, Zhi He looked over and gripped the handle of the seat tightly.The crowd was in a commotion, and words like "Shen Yuan" and "Come back" pierced Ling Zhuo's ears from time to time.
Damn it!How did he come back!How is he still alive? !That group of trash from the devil world can't even be dealt with by a cripple?
Ling Zhuo subconsciously glanced at the elders' bench, and the old man shook his head invisibly.
"Senior brother is quite imposing when I'm not around," Shen Yuan smiled, "Usually I don't see senior brother being so good at writing and martial arts."
"Junior Brother, you are back," Ling Zhuo reluctantly pulled the corners of his lips, "You don't even know how worried the elders and I were during your absence. After we heard that you were assassinated by the evildoers from the demon world, we all planned to..."
"Brother, how did you know that I was assassinated by evildoers from the devil world?" Shen Yuan asked.
"Listen, I heard... I heard..." Ling Zhuo was slightly embarrassed.
Shen Yuan's body has not fully recovered yet, and his dantian has begun to repair, but it is not enough to fight Ling Zhuo with a sword.Fortunately, Ling Zhuo didn't seem to have the idea of competing with him, which made Shen Yuan heave a sigh of relief.
"Since Yuan'er is back, let's end this competition." Zhihe stood up, his voice was diffused by spiritual energy, and everyone present could hear him clearly.
Damn it!Ling Zhuoyue became anxious.
"It's not fair! Young sect leader must have both ability and political integrity. I only know that Senior Brother Ling is a kind-hearted man, so I don't know his wish!" someone shouted, and the scene went in an uncontrollable direction.
Several inner disciples also spoke out in the riot, expressing that they also want to have the chance to fight for the position of young master.
Zhihe has been obsessed with cultivation these years, and spends his free time on Shen Yuan, a young apprentice. Chang Ya's affairs are almost left to the elders. Shen Yuan is also like him. Therefore, almost all the disciples in the sect know that there is a young sect leader whose martial arts are unrivaled and noble, most of them are in awe of him, and some think that he is pretending to be noble.
The elders obviously had problems, rolled their eyes, and said grandly in front of Zhi He, on the surface they wanted to give the disciples a chance, but each had their own calculations in their hearts.
"It seems that Senior Brother Ling is indeed more popular than me." Shen Yuan smiled, and was not annoyed in the face of many doubts, Ling Zhuo pretended to be ashamed, but actually gave Shen Yuan an apology.
"In that case, let's try again." Shen Yuan said.
Generally, the head of the young sect is appointed by the head of the sect, and there are also many sects who select candidates through promotion.The selection of the real young head is very strict, with six rounds of civil and military, and a person with both ability and integrity must be selected to be the young head.
Zhi He originally wanted to say something, after being the head of the sect for so many years, his temper has really worn down a lot, but he couldn't bear to bully his disciple like this, so Shen wished to give him a look to signal him to be calm and not to be impatient.
Half a month after the time was finalized, the selection of the real young master was much larger than the scale of today's small fights. Ling Zhuo gritted his teeth, his eyes were almost crazy, and he stared at Shen Yuan's leaving back.
***
Shen Yuan came down from the stage and was called away by Zhi He without any accident.
Zhihe asked Shen Yuan to wait in the meeting hall on the west side of his attic, but he disappeared.
Shen Yuan was so bored that he tore at the green plants beside him.
After half an hour, Zhi He came back, Shen Yuan thought that he was going to deal with the selection of the young head, but when he saw that the corners of Zhi He's clothes were a little messy and his breath was not stable, he knew that he had made a move.
With whom?Shen Yuan frowned, and with his master's cultivation, he could count on one hand the opponents who could make him lose his breath.
"Tell me about your business." Zhi He took a seat on the upper seat and asked Shen Yuan.
***
"So you suspect that there is someone behind Ling Zhuo?" Zhi He raised his eyebrows after hearing this.
"Yes," Shen Yuan nodded, "Ling Zhuo probably didn't expect the effect of the drug to pass so quickly. On the day I was kidnapped, I listened to the conversation of the two servants. The road was very quiet. , Qi—the Lord of the Demon Realm also told me that an elder from some sect made this deal with him, and that person's aura is about to ascend, and you..."
Shen Yuan hesitated: "On par."
Zhihe's face was gloomy, and he didn't speak for a long time, he was handsome, he looked a little like a man and a woman, and he was well-trained, so he couldn't tell his age at all.
Shen wished to wait for him to make a decision.
"According to what you said in advance, let's not startle the snake. The purpose of this person's collusion with Ling Zhuo is obviously for me to be the head of Chang Ya. After half a month, he will show his feet," Zhi He said solemnly. Look, "Compared to this matter... you have a close relationship with the Lord of the Demon Realm?"
Unexpectedly, when Qi Xiu was asked, Shen Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and took out the excuse he had prepared: "Although the Lord of the Demon Realm is stubborn, he is not as good as the rumors from the outside world. I was able to come back all the way, thanks to him..."
"Then your restoration of Dantian is also related to him?" Zhihe asked.
Just now, regarding the matter of double cultivation with Qi Xiu, Shen Yuan briefly mentioned it, only saying that the Lord of the Demon Realm found a strange prescription and used the practice of the Demon Realm Kung Fu to restore the damaged tendons.
"Yes." Shen Yuan heard that Zhi He's tone was wrong, and took a sneak peek, but saw that his face was quite ugly.
The teacup turned into powder in Zhi He's hands, and Zhi He saw the demonic energy in his disciple that he couldn't hide in the morning, and he told his disciples not to contact the demon world, so he still had a headwind perpetrators.
Thinking of Shen Yuan's dantian again, Zhihe softened his heart. After all, he is the disciple he loves the most and has high hopes for. Still not broken: "Go down and have a good rest."
Shen Yuan heaved a sigh of relief and saluted.
The moment he stepped out of the door, he heard Zhi He say: "I don't care what kind of relationship you have with the Lord of the Demon Realm, as long as it's time to break it off, the Demon Realm is used to smooth talk, so don't be fooled."
After Shen Yuan answered, Zhi He breathed a sigh of relief, the gloomy look between his brows could not be concealed.
Lord of the Demon Realm...friend of a gentleman...
There was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, people in the devil world are always cunning, Yuan'er is pure in heart, the old road he walked can't let Shen Yuan walk again.
After much tossing and turning, it was already night, no matter where, the moon is the same round, listening to Shen Yuan's words, reminded Zhi He of the past.
He went to the mortal world to experience calamities, loved that person all his life, was deceived, and foolishly put a river lantern on the river bank every year, praying for him to be safe and smooth in the next life, but it turned out that all he missed was the time when the Lord of the Demon Realm was at leisure. A farce for boredom to pass the time.
Zhi He will never let Shen Yuan go back to his old ways.
On the other side, Huaying rescued Qi Xiu, helped him walk for a while, and let go only after making sure that Zhihe would not catch up again.
"I said you can really do it, there are a lot of things waiting for you to decide in the devil world, and you came here to be beaten." Huaying took a grass in her mouth and squinted at Qi Xiu.
Qi Xiu's skills are considered outstanding in this generation, but when confronted with Zhihe, he can't get any benefits, thanks to Huaying's timely arrival today.
But... Qi Xiu glanced at Huaying. He always knew that Huaying was good at skills and his skills were unfathomable, but he never thought that he would have the power to fight Zhihe.
"What are you looking at, little bastard!" Huaying pinched Qi Xiu's head guiltily, then turned her head and continued to meditate.
Why is it so similar?The temperament is similar, the tone is similar, the appearance is also similar...
"Then I'll go first, thank you senior!" Qi Xiu made a bow, raised his foot and left.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Huaying asked.
"Look for Shen Yuan!" Qi Xiu looked puzzled, "Didn't I just tell you to help me pay more attention to the affairs of the devil world, and you kept nodding your head."
"Who ordered..." Huaying came back to her senses, just as she was about to explain that she was just in a daze, and her promise didn't count, when she saw Qi Xiu running away like a sore boy.
Breathing out a foul breath, Huaying was a little depressed. After being the Lord of the Demon Realm for so many years, he has to worry about these juniors after retirement. He is really dedicated.
*
It is not difficult to get into Chang Ya, but it is not easy to get close to Shen Yuan.Qi Xiu crossed the sea without telling the truth, and worked as a sweeper in Changya, but he never got close to the inner courtyard, so he was willing to cooperate with him, and took him away with an excuse.
Because of this, many people thought that Senior Brother Shen was still obsessed with masculinity during the war, and he had a bad reputation.
Afterwards, Qi Xiu talked about it.
Shen Yuan was lazily lying in his arms, with his eyelids half drooping, and curled his fingers around the end of his hair: "The mouth grows on them, so it won't hinder us anyway, let him talk."
"You have a good temper." Qi Xiu said.
"It's not a good temper. I can do this when I stop them, but they will say that I am trying to cover up."
"People who gossip like this behind their backs will be thrown out to feed gluttons in our demon world." Qi Xiu put his chin on Shen Yuan's shoulder and said into his ear.
Shen Yuan was ticklish, and conditioned to shrink back: "Do you still have gluttonous beasts in the demon world?"
Most of the ancient gods and beasts are extinct, and Shen Yuan has always heard about Taotie, but he has never seen its appearance.
"It's not real Taotie, it's just a wolf breed mixed with Taotie's blood."
There are many examples of monsters cultivating human form in the Demon Realm, not only in the Demon Realm, there is an elder in Luan next door who is a gold-digging rat cultivating adulthood. When Shen Yuan was young, he wondered if he would transform his bedroom into a gold-digging rat's favorite cavernous.
"What about you? What is your prototype?" Shen Yuan suddenly asked curiously.
Qi Xiu suddenly stopped talking, he avoided Shen Yuan's eyes, and faltered to fool him.
Shen Yuan didn't agree with him, and narrowed his eyes, becoming more and more curious.
There was no other way, Qi Xiu had no choice but to confess.
His original body was a white fox with six tails. Legend has it that his ancestors were the divine beast nine-tailed white fox, but no one in his family has ever cultivated to nine tails.
Qi Xiu has always disliked that his original body is not powerful and domineering enough, not as frightening as a dragon and a tiger, so he rarely shows his original body to others.
Unless sometimes out of control, the ears and tail will be exposed.
Shen Yuan rubbed his chin, and suddenly remembered that he was in the teahouse that day, his consciousness was already blurred, he saw Qi Xiu grow a pair of fox ears, and he was still shaking.
He thought he was dazed.
Shen Yuan has always had no resistance to furry creatures, so he proposed to see Qi Xiu's original body.
Qi Xiu was not very happy, but he couldn't hold back his wish. In the end, the two each took a step back, and Qi Xiu let out his ears and tail.
Suddenly, Shen Yuan's eyes lit up, and he got up from Qi Xiu's arms, without the appearance of hanging himself just now.
He touched Qi Xiu's tail first, which made his cheeks blush, and he let go only after his breath was unsteady, and then pinched his ears again.
so cute!It's so cute!
Qi Xiu shark me!
"Don't touch it..." Qi Xiu's breathing became disordered, and he tilted his head back, but suddenly Shen Yuan held his cheek and kissed him deeply at the corner of his mouth.
"Little cutie!" Shen Yuan's eyes brightened.
There was no reaction on Qi Xiu's face, his eyes flickered, but the tail behind his back was up and down, looking very useful.
Disgusting honesty!
The world is so cute!
Shen Yuan's sudden enthusiasm obviously put Qi Xiu in a good mood. After many experiences, he found that every time he showed his ears and tail at critical moments, Shen Yuan would be more excited than usual, which made Qi Xiu relatively indifferent to his original body. So contradicted.
Also... a little secretly happy.
While huddling around under Zhihe's nose, committing crimes against the wind, the two speeded up their practice until five days before the promotion, the dantian had already repaired the basics, only two or three cracks remained.
Shen Yuan had already formed an alchemy before, and the spiritual energy was stored in the dantian. As long as the dantian was restored, although his strength could not be compared with when it was at its peak, it was still more than enough to deal with Ling Zhuo.
It's not that Ling Zhuo's talent is bad, it's just that he has been so scheming for so many years that he has lost his original intention of cultivating the Tao.
But behind him there are still unknown people backing him up. Shen Yuan is a little worried.
Under pressure, Shen Yuan remembered what Qi Xiu mentioned earlier, after his heart melted into pieces, the speed of his practice doubled directly.
Shen Yuan intends to try his luck at Heart-eating Mirror.
He discussed with Qi Xiu and planned to wait until dark before acting.
"Don't you have a waist card for Changya's mountain-protecting needle? Why did you wait until dark?" Qi Xiu couldn't help asking while packing his things.
Shen Yuan glanced at him: "Are you stupid? There are still five days until the election. If I use the waist card, the master will definitely find out my whereabouts. He doesn't like my association with people from the devil world. If he finds out... ..."
Shen Yuan thought about the consequences, rubbed his arms, Zhihe usually treats him well without principles, but when he has something to do with the demons, Zhihe's attitude is extremely firm.
Shen Yuan thought of the little fox that was thrown away by Zhihe again, he told Qi Xiu about it, and teased him: "4 years ago, I ignored my master for three months because of that little fox, if This time we went out and was discovered by him, and you turned into a prototype, Master will definitely think that your foxes in the demon world are spirits and can seduce people's souls."
Qi Xiu pinched his face: "Dare you say I'm a vixen? You're not small."
Vixen?It's quite appropriate.
Shen wished to have fun.
"Let me tell you a secret." After the joke, Qi Xiu still planned to tell Shen Yuan the truth, "Actually, the fox you saved 4 years ago..."
Shen Yuan's eyes widened: "No way?"
It's not a coincidence, Qi Xiu happened to have fused the fragments of the Heart-eating Mirror in his heart at that time, and the domineering energy in it made him uncontrollable for a time, and he couldn't even maintain the prototype. His father was already crazy at that time, he just wanted to untie The use of the artifact unifies the two worlds, regardless of his life or death.
It just so happened that at that time I heard the rumor that the third artifact had landed. I don't know where it came from. It said that the three artifacts restrained each other.
Qi Xiu went to the secret realm with the mentality of being a dead horse as a living horse doctor, but he didn't see any magic weapon, and he fell into a coma on the way due to backlash, and was picked up by Shen Yuan.
It was also that time that Qi Xiu tried many times and confirmed that Shen Yuan's physique could really alleviate his backlash.
Shen Yuan only thought of him as an ordinary demon fox, loved him very much, and wanted to bring him back to Changya.
Qi Xiu's condition was serious at that time, and the clearest memory is the way Zhi He sneaked him away from Shen Yuan, and Shen Yuan calling him "Master".
Later, when he found Shen Yuan, Qi Xiu wasted a lot of time, he found out from Zhihe's apprentices, he gritted his teeth for a while, annoyed that Zhihe had too many apprentices.
Shen Yuan was reminded by Qi Xiu, and finally remembered: "I remember, Master picked me up outside the secret place, and I picked you up on the way back to Changya with Master."
"Your memory is really..." Qi Xiu shook his head.
Shen Yuan is not convinced: "I have a good memory, but 4 years ago, when the secret realm was born, there were 99 thunderclaps. Master said that I lost my memory because I was too close to the secret realm and was injured by the thunder." .”
Qi Xiu has always followed him, begging for mercy with a smile, and pinching his ear bones affectionately to show comfort.
*
When the two returned to the Demon Realm, their style was still the same as before. Shen Yuan had been with the Lord of the Demon Realm for a long time, and Ai Wu and Wu Di felt that the followers of the Demon Realm didn't seem so annoying anymore.
Also... so cute.
Qi Xiu took Shen Yuan to the forbidden area.
The blood pool exuded a lingering stench, Shen Yuan frowned uncomfortably, and followed behind Qi Xiu.
The heart-eating mirror was in the deepest part of the forbidden area, and after walking about 300 meters, Qi Xiu stopped.
Shen Yuan tugged at his sleeve obediently, and asked doubtfully, "Why did it stop?"
"The enchantment of the Heart-Eating Mirror is ahead, be careful." Qi Xiu said.
Shen Yuan nodded, he was always sensible when it comes to serious matters, he interlocked his fingers with Qi Xiu, walked in his footsteps, restrained his aura as much as possible, and let himself be enveloped by Qi Xiu's aura.
There are nine layers of barriers in total, the further you go to the back, the more Shen Yuan feels the strong pressure.
Qi Xiu himself was at most standing on the periphery of the ninth floor, unable to get close to the mirror, he had to take care of Shen Yuan, his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and his lips turned white.
His lips were slightly raised, and his smile was a little frivolous, and he was slightly pale at the moment.
Shen Yuan knew that the pressure he was under was far greater than his own, and his heart moved slightly.
He had to admit, he seemed a little distressed.
Qi Xiu stopped and exhaled.
He couldn't guarantee Shen Yuan's safety if he was going forward.
Turning around, he was about to ask Shen Yuan if he had any special feelings, when suddenly the barrier changed.
A force rushed towards Shen Yuan, Qi Xiu couldn't stop it, so he could only protect him as much as possible, and was thrown half a meter away by the barrier, but Shen Yuan was pushed by this force, directly breaking through the ninth knot boundary.
Standing in front of the heart-eating mirror.
Qi Xiu: "..." What the hell?
Shen Yuan himself was also surprised. He looked directly at the mirror, feeling surprisingly familiar. He raised his hand uncontrollably and pressed it against the mirror. The Heart-Eating Mirror automatically recognized its master. Core stuff.
A moment of tiny, black... eyeballs.
Like a kind of bird, before Shen Yuan could think about it, the mirror forcibly brought Shen Yuan into the illusion.
That was the legendary battle of the prehistoric.
In the legend, the prehistoric world, the chaos of the heaven and the earth, the beginning of all things, the wind bird and green luan, the flying snake and flying dragon, and the nine-tailed fox.
There is also a tree.
Shen Yuan recognized the sacred tree, and it was written in the book that he read when he was a child. In the era of chaos, during the battle between the gods of the fairy world and the evil spirits of the wild, it was the power of this sacred tree that was used to cleanse away the evil spirits.
The screen turned, and it was a god sitting under the tree, his wounds were hideous, and he was shrouded in a dark evil spirit, and the divine tree absorbed all the evil breath.
Under the pressure of the barrier, Qi Xiu retreated two meters. He saw Shen Yuan standing in front of the mirror as if he had lost his soul. It had been five days. Seeing that the election was about to begin, Shen Yuan had no intention of waking up at all. No matter how you call it, there is no response.
Qi Xiu secretly regretted bringing Shen Yuan here, clutching the wound on his body that was backlashed by the barrier, he walked deep into the barrier again, trying to bring Shen Yuan out.
Just when he was about to hit the mirror with all his strength, Shen Yuan's eyes rolled and gradually became clear.
The heart-eating mirror took the initiative to recognize the master, and shrunk into Shen Yuan's palm.
The barrier disappeared, Shen Yuan returned to reality, blinked, unable to turn around.
"How are you?" Qi Xiu hugged his shoulders, his eyelashes trembling, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, why is your face so ugly," Shen Yuan asked Qi Xiu, suddenly remembered something, his face changed, "What time is it now?"
"You have been in a daze for five days, and there is still a quarter of an hour before the selection will begin!" Qi Xiu said, dodging Shen Yuan's hand reaching for his wound, "I'm fine, you hurry over Bar!"
Fifteen minutes, from the Demon Realm to Changya, seems to be an impossible task.
Fortunately, Shen Yuan didn't have any gray hair in the past five days, and his dantian has been repaired, and it is running vigorously to send spiritual energy to the whole body.
Shen Yuan hesitated for a while, then nodded at Qi Xiu.
There is a large formation at the boundary marker of the Demon Realm, from the Demon Realm to the foot of Changya Mountain. Because of the long distance, it needs a lot of spiritual support.
Shen Yuan and Qi Xiubing went back to Changya in two ways.
Qi Xiu would not be able to use the big array, he was full of demon energy, once he used it, he would be discovered by Zhihe, and he rode on a bird unique to the demon world, and by the time he arrived, two hours had passed.
It was the last martial arts test.
In the previous rounds of written examinations, questions were drawn from various tricky angles of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, art and labor. Ling Zhuo relied on the person behind him, and Shen Yuan each won and lost, and they were evenly divided.
Shen Yuan puts a long line to catch big fish, and has a scene with Zhihe.
When Qi Xiu arrived, the two were fighting hard.Ling Zhuo's strength is far inferior to Shen Yuan's, but for some reason today, his strength has increased dramatically, his eyes are bloodshot, and he looks faintly insane.
Shen Yuan sees the tricks and breaks the tricks, and fights steadily.
Watching Ling Zhuo keep attacking and gaining the upper hand, those who know how to do it can see at a glance that Ling Zhuo didn't take advantage of it at all, and he was obviously exhausted.
Are you going to lose? !
no!Ling Zhuo is bound to win the position of young master!He has worked so hard for this position for so long, it can only be his!
Seeing that Ling Zhuo was about to fall, a stream of air with dark energy pierced through the air at a tricky angle, heading straight for Shen Yuan's gate of life.
Qi Xiu was startled, just as he was about to make a move, there was a spirit that was faster than him.
In an instant, like an undercurrent from the bottom of a lake surging to the surface, the elders couldn't sit still.
Following the direction An Jin came from, it was the elder who went to Luan.
In the tens of thousands of years since Jin Jian became an elder, there were very few times when the gutter turned over. His original body was a gold digger. For this reason, he was often ridiculed. Many people said behind his back that his original body was unworthy. An in-stream play pet in the devil world.
He was not reconciled, and found a lot of opportunities with his natural ability. Gradually, this kind of voice lessened, and everyone wanted to curry favor with him. They changed their previous expressions, and every sentence they said was better than one sentence, which made Jin Jian very happy. Useful.
Until he stepped half a foot into the gate of heaven, his cultivation base was on par with Zhihe.
He always felt that something was missing, unable to break through the limit.Although his cultivation was comparable to Zhihe's, he was 10,000+ years older than Zhihe. Jin Jian couldn't afford to wait. Flesh and blood in exchange for a secret.
——As long as you have three artifacts, you can open up the way to the sky.
There is also the whereabouts of the third artifact.
Zhihe never thought that the elders who went to Luan would have their idea of Changya, let alone
Qi Xiuping retreated from the surrounding people, leaving him and Shen Yuan alone.
"You..." Qi Xiu was about to say something, but suddenly saw Shen Yuan make a move.
He had no cultivation, Qi Xiu could easily dodge his sword edge, but he deliberately restrained his conditioned reflex, and the white blade pierced into his chest, bringing out warm blood.
Shen Yuan's hand was whiter than a sword, and his expression was gloomy.
"I'm sorry," Qi Xiu sighed, ignoring the pain in his chest, and held Shen Yuan's hand, "I was also..."
Qi Xiu wanted to explain to Shen Yuan, but she didn't know where to start, even if the reason was perfect, it sounded like an excuse.
Qi Xiu can understand Shen Yuan, being a good son of heaven, his dantian was ruined and his cultivation base was inexplicably destroyed, and he came to the devil world as a forbidden servant.Although Shen Yuan concealed it very well, he could still tell that he had been in a bad mood because of his cultivation. Before the matter on this side was resolved, he was forcibly insulted on the other side. It would be a hurdle for anyone.
"What's your reason? Haven't compiled it yet?" Shen Yuan looked at him coldly, with sarcasm.He raised his hand, and the long sword came out, bringing out two or three drops of blood.
The devil world focused on body cultivation, and Shen Yuan really didn't target the vital point, Qi Xiu's injuries healed up in a short time.
"I don't know if you have heard of the forbidden area of the demons before..." Qi Xiu said hesitantly.
A long time ago, in the battle of artifacts, the fairy world and the demon world each won one. All along, both sides have not figured out the usage of the artifacts and have always been afraid of the artifacts in the hands of the other party, so that a delicate peace has been reached.
Shen Yuan has seen the artifact of the fairy world before, so he won't mention it yet.The magical artifacts obtained by the demon world in the past look strange, like a broken mirror. Several generations of demon masters have not figured out its operating principle. If you get closer, you may be killed by the mirror's backlash. This is the change of the master of the demon world. frequent reasons.Later, a demon lord felt that this thing was evil and caused many harms, so he simply threw it into the pool of blood, and it was gradually forgotten by people.
It wasn't until the previous demon lord—that is, Qi Xiu's father—turned it out again.He unexpectedly discovered that as long as he held the fragments of the fallen artifact from the previous demon masters, he could get close to it and avoid being attacked to a great extent, but he still couldn't really get close to the mirror.
There are layers of barriers around the mirror, and with the fragments, they can only get closer to the mirror than ordinary people.
The shards of the mirror assimilated the human breath, but if you go forward, you will still be backlashed.Only by truly allowing the bloodline to be assimilated by the artifact.The demon master realized that no one had tried this method yet, and the risk was extremely high. He hesitated again and again, and actually fused the fragments of the mirror into Qi Xiu's heart.
"...that heart-eating mirror will be backlashed even if you get close to it, making people's blood go backwards. Once it is fused into the blood, the consequences can be imagined." Qi Xiu sighed, the wound on his heart had completely healed, Not a single scar remained.
"Then what happened later? You..."
Everything after that is no longer under human control.
Qi Xiu's father's obsession with the Heart-Eating Mirror is immeasurable. He uses Qi Xiu's heart to nourish blood, and orders him to bleed every month so that he can smear his whole body to hide from the enchantment. In the end, he gets lost in the eye of the formation and dies. in.
Qi Xiu succeeded to the throne and became the new Demon Lord.
He didn't want to touch the Mirror of Devourer again, but things backfired.
Only he can see what is reflected in the heart-eating mirror. Through this mirror, he can see what is in anyone's heart, and the sky is high and the earth is far and wide.At the same time, the backlash from the Heart-Eating Mirror gradually reflected on him.At the beginning, Qi Xiu would experience severe pain in his tendons and veins, and his blood would go retrograde every time. Later, this time became longer and longer, gradually affecting his xinxing. Usually unimaginable.
For example, the wrongdoing towards Shen Yuan.
"I didn't think carefully about this matter, but if I didn't forcefully mobilize the exercises, it wouldn't be..." Qi Xiu paused, picked up the long sword on the ground and handed it to Shen Yuan, "I won't guard against you, as long as you calm down .”
Shen Yuan looked at the sword in his hand for two or three seconds, thoughtful.Things like this in the Demon Realm can definitely be regarded as Xinmi, and Qi Xiu told him like this is enough to show sincerity, but there are still two things that cannot be explained clearly.
He originally thought that he was the only one who would always feel inexplicably familiar with Qi Xiu, but he didn't want Qi Xiu to be the same to him. Could it be that they really had some relationship in their previous life?
And then.
Shen wished that Qi Xiu hadn't completely lost his sanity at the beginning, and he still had two parts of sobriety, but suddenly, as if his soul had reached an incomparable fit, he completely accepted Qi Xiu from body to heart, as if he had been drugged by someone. .
Shen Yuan turned his sword away and looked directly into Qi Xiu's eyes: "Take me to see, you demons are against the forbidden area."
The demons originally had no forbidden area, but because of some changes in the Heart-Eating Mirror, they set up a forbidden area to suppress them for fear of hurting people.
Qi Xiu didn't agree immediately.
Ever since he opened the seal on the Heart-Eating Mirror, he began to behave autonomously. Even he couldn't figure it out, so he had no choice but to lock it in the blood pool and set a restriction.He rashly brought Shen Yuan over there, he was afraid of hurting Shen Yuan.
"I'm afraid it won't work," Qi Xiu said, "I'm not sure if it will attack you yet."
Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows, just about to explode.
Qi Xiu said: "I'll take you there after your tendons have been mended and your cultivation has recovered. It's safer."
Shen Yuan ignored the Heart-Eating Mirror in amazement: "Can my cultivation be restored?"
Since ancient times, there have been many people like him, but I have never heard of anyone who can recover.
Qi Xiu nodded: "This is exactly the second thing I want to tell you. Ling Zhuo is preparing to hold the election of the young head. He also announced that you have been brutally killed by evildoers from the demon world, and he intends to avenge you."
This is really a thief shouting catch a thief.
Shen Yuan was upset by his operation: "What can you do?"
Qi Xiu hesitated for a while: "In your current situation, it is not difficult to connect the tendons of your hands and hamstrings, but the damage to the dantian is more troublesome. You should have heard that in the magic world, we do not have dantians, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is stored in the tendons. The veins have a repairing effect on the body."
Shen Yuan understood: "You want me to practice the exercises of the devil world?"
Qi Xiu didn't speak.After all, Shen Yuan is a well-behaved young head, and he disagrees with this kind of practice that can be regarded as a party and demon world evildoer.
Qi Xiu said: "Other than that, I have nothing else to do, and I heard that Ling Zhuo's young master was elected to join forces with several elders and heads of various factions, and the day was chosen on the day when Zhihe's master left the customs. One day, the purpose is to use the power of the crowd to force him to submit."
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth: "How sure are you?"
Qi Xiu said truthfully: "Only [-]%."
After all, this method has never been tried before.
I can only gamble.
Shen Yuan nodded, gritted his teeth and agreed.
Talking about these exhausting, he sat back on the bed again, a little tired.Qi Xiu, who was out of control before, was tossed hard, as if he was broken in the middle by someone, and there was no place in his body that was comfortable, and he had exhausted his remaining strength by forcing himself to chat with Qi Xiu.
Qi Xiu had a different thought in his heart.
His eyes were dim, he glanced at Shen Yuan's waist, his Adam's apple rolled up and down.Shen Yuan has a slender waist and long legs, the shape of the waist dimples on both sides is beautiful, and the waist is flexible, so he couldn't help pinching it hard when he held it.
"Why are you still here?" How could Shen Yuan not feel such fiery eyes, he couldn't help but look at Qi Xiu, and reminded him.
"One more thing..." Qi Xiu restrained his gaze reservedly, "You have practiced spiritual energy to build alchemy since childhood, even if the dantian is abolished, there are still some scattered spiritual energy wandering in the veins. I'm afraid it will cause discomfort."
This is a reminder to Shen Yuan that there were some people who built alchemy before to make up for their congenital deficiencies and wanted to practice the skills of the demon world to improve their body and prolong their lifespan. Halfway through the practice, they exploded and died due to the collision of energy pulses.
Shen Yuan asked: "Do you have a solution?"
"There is a way."
Qi Xiu turned his eyes away, his Adam's apple rolled up and down: "Double, double cultivation."
Shen Yuan reflexively sat down for a while before he could swear, when he heard Qi Xiu explaining to him nervously.
After yesterday's incident, Qi Xiu realized that the reason why Shen Yuan can alleviate his backlash is related to his special constitution. When their yin and yang are in harmony, Shen Yuan will automatically export the energy of the heart-eating mirror in his body that is in conflict with the original breath.
Conversely, he can also help Shen Yuan to sort out the demonic aura wandering in his body, and then export it out after the goal is achieved.
Shen Yuan didn't speak for a moment, Qi Xiu didn't force him, he just said to let him think about it and planned to go out.
The moment he closed the door, Shen Yuan stopped him: "Wait."
He was surprisingly calm, his eyes seemed to be looking at Qi Xiu but not him.
"It's just dual cultivation." Shen Yuan said, "We each get what we need."
Things have come to this, they have done what they should do and should not do, Shen Yuan is not a hypocritical person, and he can clearly distinguish the priorities.
"When will it start?" Shen Yuan asked.
Qi Xiu didn't expect him to figure it out so quickly, Shen Yuan's attitude was frank and calm, which made him look awkward.
"Let's go, in a few days," Qi Xiu said, "you should have a good rest first."
***
There is a lot of wind and sand at the enchantment, and the ten-mile radius is the default gray zone, where fish and dragons are mixed, and if you go further, it will be the sites of those famous and decent families.Qi Xiu took the elixir to restrain his breath, and pulled the brim of his hat even lower.
Originally Qi Xiu's plan was to take the birds of the Demon Realm, but Shen Yuan felt that this was too risky and would easily cause riots. After discussing, they decided to go to the teleportation formations that Changya set up in various places. Just in time for Ling Zhuo's young leader to be promoted.
The scene was very lively, Ling Zhuo made a big show, and after hypocritically bowing to another senior brother who came to challenge but was not as skilled as him, he faintly assumed the style of the young master: "Is there any other senior brother who wants to come up to challenge?" , Ling is waiting here."
Shen Yuan looked around, and there were people sitting around. For 4 years, Kunlun was not good at cultivation, and it gradually declined. However, it was still ranked among the five sects due to the exquisite magic tools.
Kunlun only sent two elders to sit on the lower seat, and Zhihe sat on the upper seat, but it was obvious that his complexion was not good. The six elders of Changya were second only to Zhihe, but this...
Shen Yuan squinted his eyes, the first position on Zhihe's right was the seat of the young master, and the old man second only to this position was not from their long life, he was dressed plainly, with the emblem on his chest It is the pattern of going to Luan.
At this moment, the old man was staring at Ling Zhuo on the competition stage.
Ling Zhuo stood there for a while and no one came up to the stage. He cupped his hands and was about to say something to end the competition when he suddenly heard "Wait a minute" from the audience.
The voice line is the familiar arrogance.
Ling Zhuo froze slightly.
Before Shen Yuan came to the stage, Qi Xiu repeatedly urged: "You promised, you won't do anything today."
Shen Yuan pushed his hand away calmly: "Troublesome."
Hearing the sound, Zhi He looked over and gripped the handle of the seat tightly.The crowd was in a commotion, and words like "Shen Yuan" and "Come back" pierced Ling Zhuo's ears from time to time.
Damn it!How did he come back!How is he still alive? !That group of trash from the devil world can't even be dealt with by a cripple?
Ling Zhuo subconsciously glanced at the elders' bench, and the old man shook his head invisibly.
"Senior brother is quite imposing when I'm not around," Shen Yuan smiled, "Usually I don't see senior brother being so good at writing and martial arts."
"Junior Brother, you are back," Ling Zhuo reluctantly pulled the corners of his lips, "You don't even know how worried the elders and I were during your absence. After we heard that you were assassinated by the evildoers from the demon world, we all planned to..."
"Brother, how did you know that I was assassinated by evildoers from the devil world?" Shen Yuan asked.
"Listen, I heard... I heard..." Ling Zhuo was slightly embarrassed.
Shen Yuan's body has not fully recovered yet, and his dantian has begun to repair, but it is not enough to fight Ling Zhuo with a sword.Fortunately, Ling Zhuo didn't seem to have the idea of competing with him, which made Shen Yuan heave a sigh of relief.
"Since Yuan'er is back, let's end this competition." Zhihe stood up, his voice was diffused by spiritual energy, and everyone present could hear him clearly.
Damn it!Ling Zhuoyue became anxious.
"It's not fair! Young sect leader must have both ability and political integrity. I only know that Senior Brother Ling is a kind-hearted man, so I don't know his wish!" someone shouted, and the scene went in an uncontrollable direction.
Several inner disciples also spoke out in the riot, expressing that they also want to have the chance to fight for the position of young master.
Zhihe has been obsessed with cultivation these years, and spends his free time on Shen Yuan, a young apprentice. Chang Ya's affairs are almost left to the elders. Shen Yuan is also like him. Therefore, almost all the disciples in the sect know that there is a young sect leader whose martial arts are unrivaled and noble, most of them are in awe of him, and some think that he is pretending to be noble.
The elders obviously had problems, rolled their eyes, and said grandly in front of Zhi He, on the surface they wanted to give the disciples a chance, but each had their own calculations in their hearts.
"It seems that Senior Brother Ling is indeed more popular than me." Shen Yuan smiled, and was not annoyed in the face of many doubts, Ling Zhuo pretended to be ashamed, but actually gave Shen Yuan an apology.
"In that case, let's try again." Shen Yuan said.
Generally, the head of the young sect is appointed by the head of the sect, and there are also many sects who select candidates through promotion.The selection of the real young head is very strict, with six rounds of civil and military, and a person with both ability and integrity must be selected to be the young head.
Zhi He originally wanted to say something, after being the head of the sect for so many years, his temper has really worn down a lot, but he couldn't bear to bully his disciple like this, so Shen wished to give him a look to signal him to be calm and not to be impatient.
Half a month after the time was finalized, the selection of the real young master was much larger than the scale of today's small fights. Ling Zhuo gritted his teeth, his eyes were almost crazy, and he stared at Shen Yuan's leaving back.
***
Shen Yuan came down from the stage and was called away by Zhi He without any accident.
Zhihe asked Shen Yuan to wait in the meeting hall on the west side of his attic, but he disappeared.
Shen Yuan was so bored that he tore at the green plants beside him.
After half an hour, Zhi He came back, Shen Yuan thought that he was going to deal with the selection of the young head, but when he saw that the corners of Zhi He's clothes were a little messy and his breath was not stable, he knew that he had made a move.
With whom?Shen Yuan frowned, and with his master's cultivation, he could count on one hand the opponents who could make him lose his breath.
"Tell me about your business." Zhi He took a seat on the upper seat and asked Shen Yuan.
***
"So you suspect that there is someone behind Ling Zhuo?" Zhi He raised his eyebrows after hearing this.
"Yes," Shen Yuan nodded, "Ling Zhuo probably didn't expect the effect of the drug to pass so quickly. On the day I was kidnapped, I listened to the conversation of the two servants. The road was very quiet. , Qi—the Lord of the Demon Realm also told me that an elder from some sect made this deal with him, and that person's aura is about to ascend, and you..."
Shen Yuan hesitated: "On par."
Zhihe's face was gloomy, and he didn't speak for a long time, he was handsome, he looked a little like a man and a woman, and he was well-trained, so he couldn't tell his age at all.
Shen wished to wait for him to make a decision.
"According to what you said in advance, let's not startle the snake. The purpose of this person's collusion with Ling Zhuo is obviously for me to be the head of Chang Ya. After half a month, he will show his feet," Zhi He said solemnly. Look, "Compared to this matter... you have a close relationship with the Lord of the Demon Realm?"
Unexpectedly, when Qi Xiu was asked, Shen Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and took out the excuse he had prepared: "Although the Lord of the Demon Realm is stubborn, he is not as good as the rumors from the outside world. I was able to come back all the way, thanks to him..."
"Then your restoration of Dantian is also related to him?" Zhihe asked.
Just now, regarding the matter of double cultivation with Qi Xiu, Shen Yuan briefly mentioned it, only saying that the Lord of the Demon Realm found a strange prescription and used the practice of the Demon Realm Kung Fu to restore the damaged tendons.
"Yes." Shen Yuan heard that Zhi He's tone was wrong, and took a sneak peek, but saw that his face was quite ugly.
The teacup turned into powder in Zhi He's hands, and Zhi He saw the demonic energy in his disciple that he couldn't hide in the morning, and he told his disciples not to contact the demon world, so he still had a headwind perpetrators.
Thinking of Shen Yuan's dantian again, Zhihe softened his heart. After all, he is the disciple he loves the most and has high hopes for. Still not broken: "Go down and have a good rest."
Shen Yuan heaved a sigh of relief and saluted.
The moment he stepped out of the door, he heard Zhi He say: "I don't care what kind of relationship you have with the Lord of the Demon Realm, as long as it's time to break it off, the Demon Realm is used to smooth talk, so don't be fooled."
After Shen Yuan answered, Zhi He breathed a sigh of relief, the gloomy look between his brows could not be concealed.
Lord of the Demon Realm...friend of a gentleman...
There was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, people in the devil world are always cunning, Yuan'er is pure in heart, the old road he walked can't let Shen Yuan walk again.
After much tossing and turning, it was already night, no matter where, the moon is the same round, listening to Shen Yuan's words, reminded Zhi He of the past.
He went to the mortal world to experience calamities, loved that person all his life, was deceived, and foolishly put a river lantern on the river bank every year, praying for him to be safe and smooth in the next life, but it turned out that all he missed was the time when the Lord of the Demon Realm was at leisure. A farce for boredom to pass the time.
Zhi He will never let Shen Yuan go back to his old ways.
On the other side, Huaying rescued Qi Xiu, helped him walk for a while, and let go only after making sure that Zhihe would not catch up again.
"I said you can really do it, there are a lot of things waiting for you to decide in the devil world, and you came here to be beaten." Huaying took a grass in her mouth and squinted at Qi Xiu.
Qi Xiu's skills are considered outstanding in this generation, but when confronted with Zhihe, he can't get any benefits, thanks to Huaying's timely arrival today.
But... Qi Xiu glanced at Huaying. He always knew that Huaying was good at skills and his skills were unfathomable, but he never thought that he would have the power to fight Zhihe.
"What are you looking at, little bastard!" Huaying pinched Qi Xiu's head guiltily, then turned her head and continued to meditate.
Why is it so similar?The temperament is similar, the tone is similar, the appearance is also similar...
"Then I'll go first, thank you senior!" Qi Xiu made a bow, raised his foot and left.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Huaying asked.
"Look for Shen Yuan!" Qi Xiu looked puzzled, "Didn't I just tell you to help me pay more attention to the affairs of the devil world, and you kept nodding your head."
"Who ordered..." Huaying came back to her senses, just as she was about to explain that she was just in a daze, and her promise didn't count, when she saw Qi Xiu running away like a sore boy.
Breathing out a foul breath, Huaying was a little depressed. After being the Lord of the Demon Realm for so many years, he has to worry about these juniors after retirement. He is really dedicated.
*
It is not difficult to get into Chang Ya, but it is not easy to get close to Shen Yuan.Qi Xiu crossed the sea without telling the truth, and worked as a sweeper in Changya, but he never got close to the inner courtyard, so he was willing to cooperate with him, and took him away with an excuse.
Because of this, many people thought that Senior Brother Shen was still obsessed with masculinity during the war, and he had a bad reputation.
Afterwards, Qi Xiu talked about it.
Shen Yuan was lazily lying in his arms, with his eyelids half drooping, and curled his fingers around the end of his hair: "The mouth grows on them, so it won't hinder us anyway, let him talk."
"You have a good temper." Qi Xiu said.
"It's not a good temper. I can do this when I stop them, but they will say that I am trying to cover up."
"People who gossip like this behind their backs will be thrown out to feed gluttons in our demon world." Qi Xiu put his chin on Shen Yuan's shoulder and said into his ear.
Shen Yuan was ticklish, and conditioned to shrink back: "Do you still have gluttonous beasts in the demon world?"
Most of the ancient gods and beasts are extinct, and Shen Yuan has always heard about Taotie, but he has never seen its appearance.
"It's not real Taotie, it's just a wolf breed mixed with Taotie's blood."
There are many examples of monsters cultivating human form in the Demon Realm, not only in the Demon Realm, there is an elder in Luan next door who is a gold-digging rat cultivating adulthood. When Shen Yuan was young, he wondered if he would transform his bedroom into a gold-digging rat's favorite cavernous.
"What about you? What is your prototype?" Shen Yuan suddenly asked curiously.
Qi Xiu suddenly stopped talking, he avoided Shen Yuan's eyes, and faltered to fool him.
Shen Yuan didn't agree with him, and narrowed his eyes, becoming more and more curious.
There was no other way, Qi Xiu had no choice but to confess.
His original body was a white fox with six tails. Legend has it that his ancestors were the divine beast nine-tailed white fox, but no one in his family has ever cultivated to nine tails.
Qi Xiu has always disliked that his original body is not powerful and domineering enough, not as frightening as a dragon and a tiger, so he rarely shows his original body to others.
Unless sometimes out of control, the ears and tail will be exposed.
Shen Yuan rubbed his chin, and suddenly remembered that he was in the teahouse that day, his consciousness was already blurred, he saw Qi Xiu grow a pair of fox ears, and he was still shaking.
He thought he was dazed.
Shen Yuan has always had no resistance to furry creatures, so he proposed to see Qi Xiu's original body.
Qi Xiu was not very happy, but he couldn't hold back his wish. In the end, the two each took a step back, and Qi Xiu let out his ears and tail.
Suddenly, Shen Yuan's eyes lit up, and he got up from Qi Xiu's arms, without the appearance of hanging himself just now.
He touched Qi Xiu's tail first, which made his cheeks blush, and he let go only after his breath was unsteady, and then pinched his ears again.
so cute!It's so cute!
Qi Xiu shark me!
"Don't touch it..." Qi Xiu's breathing became disordered, and he tilted his head back, but suddenly Shen Yuan held his cheek and kissed him deeply at the corner of his mouth.
"Little cutie!" Shen Yuan's eyes brightened.
There was no reaction on Qi Xiu's face, his eyes flickered, but the tail behind his back was up and down, looking very useful.
Disgusting honesty!
The world is so cute!
Shen Yuan's sudden enthusiasm obviously put Qi Xiu in a good mood. After many experiences, he found that every time he showed his ears and tail at critical moments, Shen Yuan would be more excited than usual, which made Qi Xiu relatively indifferent to his original body. So contradicted.
Also... a little secretly happy.
While huddling around under Zhihe's nose, committing crimes against the wind, the two speeded up their practice until five days before the promotion, the dantian had already repaired the basics, only two or three cracks remained.
Shen Yuan had already formed an alchemy before, and the spiritual energy was stored in the dantian. As long as the dantian was restored, although his strength could not be compared with when it was at its peak, it was still more than enough to deal with Ling Zhuo.
It's not that Ling Zhuo's talent is bad, it's just that he has been so scheming for so many years that he has lost his original intention of cultivating the Tao.
But behind him there are still unknown people backing him up. Shen Yuan is a little worried.
Under pressure, Shen Yuan remembered what Qi Xiu mentioned earlier, after his heart melted into pieces, the speed of his practice doubled directly.
Shen Yuan intends to try his luck at Heart-eating Mirror.
He discussed with Qi Xiu and planned to wait until dark before acting.
"Don't you have a waist card for Changya's mountain-protecting needle? Why did you wait until dark?" Qi Xiu couldn't help asking while packing his things.
Shen Yuan glanced at him: "Are you stupid? There are still five days until the election. If I use the waist card, the master will definitely find out my whereabouts. He doesn't like my association with people from the devil world. If he finds out... ..."
Shen Yuan thought about the consequences, rubbed his arms, Zhihe usually treats him well without principles, but when he has something to do with the demons, Zhihe's attitude is extremely firm.
Shen Yuan thought of the little fox that was thrown away by Zhihe again, he told Qi Xiu about it, and teased him: "4 years ago, I ignored my master for three months because of that little fox, if This time we went out and was discovered by him, and you turned into a prototype, Master will definitely think that your foxes in the demon world are spirits and can seduce people's souls."
Qi Xiu pinched his face: "Dare you say I'm a vixen? You're not small."
Vixen?It's quite appropriate.
Shen wished to have fun.
"Let me tell you a secret." After the joke, Qi Xiu still planned to tell Shen Yuan the truth, "Actually, the fox you saved 4 years ago..."
Shen Yuan's eyes widened: "No way?"
It's not a coincidence, Qi Xiu happened to have fused the fragments of the Heart-eating Mirror in his heart at that time, and the domineering energy in it made him uncontrollable for a time, and he couldn't even maintain the prototype. His father was already crazy at that time, he just wanted to untie The use of the artifact unifies the two worlds, regardless of his life or death.
It just so happened that at that time I heard the rumor that the third artifact had landed. I don't know where it came from. It said that the three artifacts restrained each other.
Qi Xiu went to the secret realm with the mentality of being a dead horse as a living horse doctor, but he didn't see any magic weapon, and he fell into a coma on the way due to backlash, and was picked up by Shen Yuan.
It was also that time that Qi Xiu tried many times and confirmed that Shen Yuan's physique could really alleviate his backlash.
Shen Yuan only thought of him as an ordinary demon fox, loved him very much, and wanted to bring him back to Changya.
Qi Xiu's condition was serious at that time, and the clearest memory is the way Zhi He sneaked him away from Shen Yuan, and Shen Yuan calling him "Master".
Later, when he found Shen Yuan, Qi Xiu wasted a lot of time, he found out from Zhihe's apprentices, he gritted his teeth for a while, annoyed that Zhihe had too many apprentices.
Shen Yuan was reminded by Qi Xiu, and finally remembered: "I remember, Master picked me up outside the secret place, and I picked you up on the way back to Changya with Master."
"Your memory is really..." Qi Xiu shook his head.
Shen Yuan is not convinced: "I have a good memory, but 4 years ago, when the secret realm was born, there were 99 thunderclaps. Master said that I lost my memory because I was too close to the secret realm and was injured by the thunder." .”
Qi Xiu has always followed him, begging for mercy with a smile, and pinching his ear bones affectionately to show comfort.
*
When the two returned to the Demon Realm, their style was still the same as before. Shen Yuan had been with the Lord of the Demon Realm for a long time, and Ai Wu and Wu Di felt that the followers of the Demon Realm didn't seem so annoying anymore.
Also... so cute.
Qi Xiu took Shen Yuan to the forbidden area.
The blood pool exuded a lingering stench, Shen Yuan frowned uncomfortably, and followed behind Qi Xiu.
The heart-eating mirror was in the deepest part of the forbidden area, and after walking about 300 meters, Qi Xiu stopped.
Shen Yuan tugged at his sleeve obediently, and asked doubtfully, "Why did it stop?"
"The enchantment of the Heart-Eating Mirror is ahead, be careful." Qi Xiu said.
Shen Yuan nodded, he was always sensible when it comes to serious matters, he interlocked his fingers with Qi Xiu, walked in his footsteps, restrained his aura as much as possible, and let himself be enveloped by Qi Xiu's aura.
There are nine layers of barriers in total, the further you go to the back, the more Shen Yuan feels the strong pressure.
Qi Xiu himself was at most standing on the periphery of the ninth floor, unable to get close to the mirror, he had to take care of Shen Yuan, his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and his lips turned white.
His lips were slightly raised, and his smile was a little frivolous, and he was slightly pale at the moment.
Shen Yuan knew that the pressure he was under was far greater than his own, and his heart moved slightly.
He had to admit, he seemed a little distressed.
Qi Xiu stopped and exhaled.
He couldn't guarantee Shen Yuan's safety if he was going forward.
Turning around, he was about to ask Shen Yuan if he had any special feelings, when suddenly the barrier changed.
A force rushed towards Shen Yuan, Qi Xiu couldn't stop it, so he could only protect him as much as possible, and was thrown half a meter away by the barrier, but Shen Yuan was pushed by this force, directly breaking through the ninth knot boundary.
Standing in front of the heart-eating mirror.
Qi Xiu: "..." What the hell?
Shen Yuan himself was also surprised. He looked directly at the mirror, feeling surprisingly familiar. He raised his hand uncontrollably and pressed it against the mirror. The Heart-Eating Mirror automatically recognized its master. Core stuff.
A moment of tiny, black... eyeballs.
Like a kind of bird, before Shen Yuan could think about it, the mirror forcibly brought Shen Yuan into the illusion.
That was the legendary battle of the prehistoric.
In the legend, the prehistoric world, the chaos of the heaven and the earth, the beginning of all things, the wind bird and green luan, the flying snake and flying dragon, and the nine-tailed fox.
There is also a tree.
Shen Yuan recognized the sacred tree, and it was written in the book that he read when he was a child. In the era of chaos, during the battle between the gods of the fairy world and the evil spirits of the wild, it was the power of this sacred tree that was used to cleanse away the evil spirits.
The screen turned, and it was a god sitting under the tree, his wounds were hideous, and he was shrouded in a dark evil spirit, and the divine tree absorbed all the evil breath.
Under the pressure of the barrier, Qi Xiu retreated two meters. He saw Shen Yuan standing in front of the mirror as if he had lost his soul. It had been five days. Seeing that the election was about to begin, Shen Yuan had no intention of waking up at all. No matter how you call it, there is no response.
Qi Xiu secretly regretted bringing Shen Yuan here, clutching the wound on his body that was backlashed by the barrier, he walked deep into the barrier again, trying to bring Shen Yuan out.
Just when he was about to hit the mirror with all his strength, Shen Yuan's eyes rolled and gradually became clear.
The heart-eating mirror took the initiative to recognize the master, and shrunk into Shen Yuan's palm.
The barrier disappeared, Shen Yuan returned to reality, blinked, unable to turn around.
"How are you?" Qi Xiu hugged his shoulders, his eyelashes trembling, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, why is your face so ugly," Shen Yuan asked Qi Xiu, suddenly remembered something, his face changed, "What time is it now?"
"You have been in a daze for five days, and there is still a quarter of an hour before the selection will begin!" Qi Xiu said, dodging Shen Yuan's hand reaching for his wound, "I'm fine, you hurry over Bar!"
Fifteen minutes, from the Demon Realm to Changya, seems to be an impossible task.
Fortunately, Shen Yuan didn't have any gray hair in the past five days, and his dantian has been repaired, and it is running vigorously to send spiritual energy to the whole body.
Shen Yuan hesitated for a while, then nodded at Qi Xiu.
There is a large formation at the boundary marker of the Demon Realm, from the Demon Realm to the foot of Changya Mountain. Because of the long distance, it needs a lot of spiritual support.
Shen Yuan and Qi Xiubing went back to Changya in two ways.
Qi Xiu would not be able to use the big array, he was full of demon energy, once he used it, he would be discovered by Zhihe, and he rode on a bird unique to the demon world, and by the time he arrived, two hours had passed.
It was the last martial arts test.
In the previous rounds of written examinations, questions were drawn from various tricky angles of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, art and labor. Ling Zhuo relied on the person behind him, and Shen Yuan each won and lost, and they were evenly divided.
Shen Yuan puts a long line to catch big fish, and has a scene with Zhihe.
When Qi Xiu arrived, the two were fighting hard.Ling Zhuo's strength is far inferior to Shen Yuan's, but for some reason today, his strength has increased dramatically, his eyes are bloodshot, and he looks faintly insane.
Shen Yuan sees the tricks and breaks the tricks, and fights steadily.
Watching Ling Zhuo keep attacking and gaining the upper hand, those who know how to do it can see at a glance that Ling Zhuo didn't take advantage of it at all, and he was obviously exhausted.
Are you going to lose? !
no!Ling Zhuo is bound to win the position of young master!He has worked so hard for this position for so long, it can only be his!
Seeing that Ling Zhuo was about to fall, a stream of air with dark energy pierced through the air at a tricky angle, heading straight for Shen Yuan's gate of life.
Qi Xiu was startled, just as he was about to make a move, there was a spirit that was faster than him.
In an instant, like an undercurrent from the bottom of a lake surging to the surface, the elders couldn't sit still.
Following the direction An Jin came from, it was the elder who went to Luan.
In the tens of thousands of years since Jin Jian became an elder, there were very few times when the gutter turned over. His original body was a gold digger. For this reason, he was often ridiculed. Many people said behind his back that his original body was unworthy. An in-stream play pet in the devil world.
He was not reconciled, and found a lot of opportunities with his natural ability. Gradually, this kind of voice lessened, and everyone wanted to curry favor with him. They changed their previous expressions, and every sentence they said was better than one sentence, which made Jin Jian very happy. Useful.
Until he stepped half a foot into the gate of heaven, his cultivation base was on par with Zhihe.
He always felt that something was missing, unable to break through the limit.Although his cultivation was comparable to Zhihe's, he was 10,000+ years older than Zhihe. Jin Jian couldn't afford to wait. Flesh and blood in exchange for a secret.
——As long as you have three artifacts, you can open up the way to the sky.
There is also the whereabouts of the third artifact.
Zhihe never thought that the elders who went to Luan would have their idea of Changya, let alone
