Phaseless Demon

Under the Qinghong Sword Sect, Elder Tu Ling has a very cherished disciple named "Tu Yuan".

It is said that Tu Yuan was selected by Elder Tu Ling from his family's Tujiazhuang, a child with spiritual roots and aptitude for cultivation.

Because he is a relative of his own, he came from the same lineage, after Elder Tu Ling brought him to the Qinghong Sword Sect, he loved Tu Yuan very much, and chose the best cultivation method for him, countless rare spiritual grass pills, Relying on these elixirs, a junior who has only cultivated for about a hundred years can be raised to the golden elixir stage,

You must know that Qinghongjian has countless disciples, but not every disciple can receive special treatment like "Tu Yuan". Many disciples have practiced for hundreds of years, but they have barely passed the foundation building period and reached consecration stage, and later, more time and energy are needed to practice and struggle.

The "Golden Core Stage" is an unattainable realm for these disciples at the grassroots level. Some disciples will not be able to reach the Golden Core Stage in their entire life, or even until their death.

However, Tu Yuan relied on his master's unprincipled favor, and his journey went smoothly. After only 260 years of practice, he became a monk of the Jindan Stage, and was known as the second genius of the Qinghong Sword Sect.

As for the first genius...it was He Qianjue, the eldest disciple of Lu Xuange, the master of Qinghong Sword Sect.

It is rumored that He Qianjue is simply a rare genius with extraordinary talent. Within 100 years after being brought to the sect by Lu Xuange, he has become a monk of the golden core stage. After 200 years, he successfully crossed the catastrophe and became a monk at the Mahayana stage, only one step away from ascending to the fairy world.

However, later, when the demon world invaded, He Qianjue gave up the best opportunity to ascend, and chose to go to the front line to resist the demon army with his master. Later, he was exposed as a spy of the demon tribe, and was sealed into the rare magic weapon "Feng Tian" by Lu Xuange himself. Mirror".

In the following 1000 years, Lu Xuange, the sect master of the Qinghong Sword Sect, had already ascended to the fairy world. It is said that he has now become a Da Luo Jinxian level immortal, but he occasionally returns from the fairy world to the Qinghong Sword Sect he established by himself, to visit the former deceased or disciple.

Compared to He Qianjue's "true genius", Tu Yuan's cultivation base, which he barely managed to accumulate by relying on elixir of spiritual herbs, seemed much less reliable.

It has been 1000 years since the invasion of the Demon Realm, and Tu Ling, who had already reached the Golden Core stage, had barely cultivated for 1000 years, but now he is still in the Nascent Soul Stage behind the Golden Core, so that many people who were at the same time as Tu Ling, Even his later disciples have already broken through the Nascent Soul and developed further, only Tu Yuan is still standing still.

Many people want to know the reason. Originally, Tu Yuan's cultivation base was basically forcibly improved by pills, just like pulling out seedlings to encourage growth. The foundation is unstable and the mood is not stable. The more you practice in the future, the harder it is to make progress. In the early years, people were favored and proud, and developed an arrogant and arrogant character. They thought that as long as they were willing to work hard, it was as simple and easy as playing to improve their level.

The more he thought about it, the more he was surpassed by those who came after him.

When he realized that he had been left far behind, Tu Yuan panicked.

The flustered Tu Yuan went to beg his master, but his master Tu Ling had already succeeded in crossing the catastrophe, and was facing the critical moment of ascension to the fairy world at any time. He was actively preparing to go to the fairy world, and didn't put too much thought on his beloved disciples.Facing Tu Yuan's request, Tu Ling only said to let him stabilize his mind, practice solidly, and consolidate his foundation, which will naturally come up over time.

Tu Yuan is used to relying on pills to improve his cultivation quickly, so how could he obediently practice according to his master's instructions? All he can think about is how to get good spiritual grass pills or heaven and earth spiritual treasures, so that he can do it overnight. Stomp on those who mock themselves.

For this reason, Tu Yuan used all kinds of means to deceive and deceive others, robbed other people of magic medicines, and even murdered people to seize treasures. He became notorious for a while, and his status in the Qinghong Sword Sect He was in dire straits, and his master Tu Ling, who had been protecting him all the time, had gone to the fairyland, and no one in the Qinghong Sword Sect was willing to protect him anymore, and he began to be in a difficult situation.

But when Yinggan first met Tu Yuan, he was clearly not such a person.

When I first met Tu Yuan, it was only about a hundred years after Tu Yuan was brought into the Qinghong Sword Sect by Tu Ling. At that time, Tu Yuan was just a young man who loved to play tricks.

……

Ying Gan came out of the office of the old man who was the director of the hospital, and stood in the corridor thinking for a while.

He learned two things from the dean about the mirror at the entrance of the hospital.

First, the mirror was indeed brought by Tu Yuan to the dean, but the dean did not know where Tu Yuan got the mirror.

Second, when Tu Yuan handed the mirror to the dean, he seemed to be in a panic, with an expression of eagerly wanting to throw this hot potato to others, and also excused that he was going to travel far away and could not take the mirror with him. So leave it to the dean as a souvenir.

Based on these two pieces of information alone, Yinggan can basically guess one or two things. I am afraid that Tu Yuan stole this mirror from the forbidden area of ​​Qinghong Sword Sect. He was thinking of something valuable that could be sold to other monks He came to buy magic treasures or spirit grass pills, but it turned out to be worthless, and the act of stealing caught the attention of some people in the Qinghong Sword Sect, so he was in a hurry, and he found a random mortal and threw it to him thing.

Decades later, this mirror has been placed in the lobby of Xikou Hospital.

The Qinghong Sword Sect didn't seem to pay much attention to this thing, no one deliberately came to look for it, and the mirror was always there.

However, Yinggan followed Zhuo's family for a long time before, and he clearly saw that there was something strange about the mirror. Yinggan wanted to check it out, but he was afraid that something bad would happen.

After thinking about it, Ying Gan finally made up his mind to go to the mirror to find out. He always wants to get the answer, and this answer can only be won by himself.

……

That night, when there was no one around in the middle of the night, Yinggan walked into the gate of Xikou Hospital again, and walked straight towards the mirror in the hospital hall. He stood in front of the mirror for a long time, but still couldn't see Find out what is so strange about this mirror. From the appearance, this mirror is clearly a huge ordinary mirror. Although there are some inexplicable powers wrapped around it, it is very weak, so weak that it can be ignored.

Yinggan stretched out his hand to touch the big mirror, it was cold and hard, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Ying Gan squinted his eyes, thought for a while, then reached out and knocked politely on the mirror.

There was no reaction at all, so Yinggan waited for a while, reached out and knocked again.

After Yinggan knocked on the mirror several times, the mirror finally responded to him. Just as he reached out to touch the mirror, the mirror turned into a pool of clear water. He found that his hand could be stretched into the mirror. His movements caused ripples on the mirror, which made Yinggan's heart, which seemed to have stopped beating for a long time, start beating. He hesitated for a moment, then stepped into the mirror.

"Why are you knocking in the middle of the night! Do you understand disturbing people's dreams!? Believe it or not, I'll beat you up?"

As soon as Yinggan came in, he saw a man with disheveled hair and only a long robe standing in front of him, and standing very close, almost face to face, the other party reached out and grabbed Yinggan's shoulder, making him Ying Gan could clearly see the blood in the man's eyes.

Ying Gan paused, and politely responded, "I'm sorry to bother you."

When He Qianjue heard the apology, he didn't ask too much. He stretched out his hand and rolled up the hair on his forehead, took a step back, and glanced at Yan Snake and Han Chan who were still sleeping soundly on the sofa.

Then he glanced at Yinggan again, and waved to him: "Come here."

Ying didn't know what to do, and he knew vaguely that he might be pulled into the mirror by the strange man in front of him, but after thinking about his purpose, he felt that it would be better to be honest and obedient, so he didn't say anything unnecessary. Obediently following behind He Qianjue, he led him to a small dark corner.

He Qianjue pulled a blanket over himself, sat face to face with Yinggan on the floor, and then began to whisper to Yinggan, He Qianjue said, "Finally, what can you do with me?"

"How do you know I'm here to look for you?" Seeing that the other party was at ease, Ying Gan obviously knew he would come.

"You have been following my Han Chan for so long during the day, and you wanted to buy Han Chan from the Zhuo family the day before yesterday, which means that you are interested in something about Han Chan. The incantation caught your attention, so what you are looking for is not Han Chan, but me." He Qianjue said a little depressed, looked at Ying Gan with dissatisfaction and said: "You can come to me if you come, you have to come in the middle of the night! Zombies don't need to sleep Is it amazing?"

Seeing that He Qianjue had already learned the identity of his zombie, Yinggan was also very surprised and stunned for a while.Can't help but take a closer look at He Qianjue. He Qianjue looks very young, but the spell and spell engraving techniques are quite sophisticated. He guessed that He Qianjue must be a senior with high qualifications, so Yinggan's attitude became respectful , bowed his head and said, "I'm very sorry, senior."

"No need to apologize, just tell me what's the matter with you." He Qianjue didn't want to listen to his nonsense, and wanted to get straight to the point.

Seeing that he was so straightforward, Ying Gan went straight to the topic and said: "Since ancient times, the production method of puppet bodies has only been in the hands of a few very clever ascetics. They also know how to control and order puppets."

"So?" He Qianjue squinted at Yingqian.

Ying Gan continued: "Senior, I know that in the puppet control spell, there is a spell called 'Life and Death Order'."

He Qianjue's head grew dizzy listening to him, and he scratched his messy hair and interrupted: "In short, in order to better control the puppet, the person who made the puppet will put a spell on the puppet, called 'Life and death order', this life and death order allows the owner of the puppet to unconditionally control the life and death of the puppet, let the puppet live if he is happy, and let the puppet die if he is not happy, because of the existence of this life and death order, the puppets fight for survival , but had to obey the various demands of the master.”

"That's right, that's it." Ying Gan said, "What I want to know is, is there a way to lift this 'Life and Death Order'?"

Hearing what Yinggan said, He Qianjue smiled thoughtfully, squinted at him and said, "You won't be given this so-called 'life and death order'?"

Hearing He Qianjue's words, Yinggan didn't answer, he bowed his head and fell silent.

The order of life and death can also be called a curse, but its main purpose is a decree used by puppet masters to control their own puppets, so it is generally impossible to cast it on living people, but unfortunately, Ying Gan He is not a living person, so if he gets the order of life and death, it will be very sad. He must serve the person who gave him this order unconditionally, otherwise he will be disintegrated and lost forever.

Yinggan said: "It is true that someone has cast this spell on me. I really want to get rid of it, so I have been looking for a way to help me break this spell. During the operation, I guessed that a monk with some ability made this doll, so I wanted to get this doll and seek some clues for myself.”

"I have another question." He Qianjue listened to Yinggan's words, thought for a while and asked aloud, "Who gave you the curse?"

Yinggan hesitated again, but felt that there was no need to hide it, so he replied honestly: "Tu Yuan, the eldest disciple of Qinghong Sword Sect Elder Tu Ling."

Yinggan's words made He Qianjue look up at Yinggan, and then said, "Go out."

One sentence shocked Yinggan: "Wait a minute... Senior... As long as you can help me lift this spell, no matter what I ask..."

"Get out." He Qianjue interrupted him with a calm tone that could not be refuted. The blood red in his eyes expanded, and his expression became unkind. He repeated in a cold voice, "Don't make me repeat it over and over again."

"May I ask why?" Yinggan didn't give up. He had been looking for a way to lift the order of life and death for hundreds of years, but there were very few people who could help him. He Qianjue in front of him was like a lifeline to him. An ordinary existence, but He Qianjue ruthlessly rejected him as soon as he opened his mouth.

He Qianjue said: "I don't want to have anything to do with the Qinghong Sword Sect. As long as there are people, demons or other ghosts who are connected with that sword sect, I won't bother."

"But I... have no choice." Yinggan didn't know what to do, he looked flustered and at a loss.

He Qianjue carefully looked at the zombie in front of him.

Ying Gan tied himself up very tightly, with black cloth wrapped around his hands and feet.Even the face under the hood, He Qianjue took a closer look and found that his face was also wrapped in the black cloth, basically he couldn't see what the facial features looked like.

He actually looked very clean, his clothes and hair felt spotless, completely different from the image He Qianjue had imagined in his mind. He Qianjue thought he would see a strange man full of stench.

He Qianjue sniffed his nose and sniffed hard. He felt that there was indeed a faint... not very pleasant smell on Yinggan, but it was very light. If he didn't get too close, he would basically not be able to smell it. Thinking of him again The identity of the zombie is clear in his heart, and he knows that this is probably unavoidable no matter what.

Because a zombie is a corpse that has become a spirit, a monster that has been turned into a corpse, and it is not considered a living thing.Since they are already corpses, no matter how much they practice, they cannot be delicious. It’s just that some zombies don’t pay much attention to this, and even take pride in it. They run around all over the world with a rotten stench, which is also very popular in the demon world. The presence.

Although zombies are actually very powerful monsters.

Yinggan's appearance gave He Qianjue a good impression, which made He Qianjue's attitude towards him a little better. Even if He Qianjue didn't want to have anything to do with the Qinghong Sword Sect, seeing Yinggan's "poor" look, He Qianjue Feeling soft-hearted again, he said, "I can help you, but there are conditions."

He Qianjue's words gave Yinggan a glimmer of hope again, and immediately knelt down and bowed his head respectfully to He Qianjue: "Senior, no matter what the conditions are, I will find a way to complete them!"

Seeing that he deserved it so quickly, He Qianjue waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I still have something to ask you."

"I would like to hear more about it." Yinggan still knelt on the ground respectfully.

He Qianjue really couldn't stand others being so respectful to him, which made him feel uncomfortable, so he reached out and grabbed Ying Gan's arm, pulled him up, and said at the same time: "I don't like it when someone treats me with such a respectful attitude. Can't talk properly?"

Yinggan straightened up, bowed his head and apologized softly: "I'm sorry, senior."

He Qianjue held his forehead in discomfort, rubbed his temples, and said, "Forget it, let me ask you a question first. When did you...become a zombie? Or, how long have you been dead?"

He Qianjue stumped Yinggan as soon as he opened his mouth, and Yinggan began to think silently. He seemed to have thought for a long time before he replied uncertainly: "Senior, I can't remember how I died. And since I realized that I have become a zombie, almost a thousand years have passed."

"That's the timing." He Qianjue guessed after hearing what he said, "I remember when the demon world invaded the human world thousands of years ago, there seemed to be some remaining zombies from Yinggou's lineage lurking in the human world to do evil. , you were probably one of the victims at that time, you were bitten to death by zombies, and you don’t remember it yourself.”

Hearing what He Qianjue said, Yinggan suddenly realized: "So it's like this..."

"The second question." He Qianjue did not stay idle, and continued to ask: "How did you get the 'life and death order' by that so-called 'Tu Yuan'?"

He Qianjue's question made Yingqian unable to help but fall into the memory.

Ying Gan said: "This matter...it's a long story..."

Yinggan was not called Yinggan before. He was an ordinary human being a thousand years ago. He was born in a poor family. The surname is Wu.
