Phaseless Demon

Lu Xuange, who had just descended from the fairy world, looked around and saw hundreds of disciples knelt down towards him in unison, their movements were uniform, and no one overstepped in the slightest.

The magic circle under everyone's feet was still faintly glowing, and pennants were planted in a circle around the magic circle in order, surrounded by colorful flowers, and the four seasons were like spring in the distance, and there seemed to be clouds and mist around the high mountains.

Such a grand welcoming ceremony did not seem to make Lu Xuange feel a little happy. The expression on his face was extremely cold. His long snow-white hair and light-colored eyes made him look like frost. Situ Luo who approached him also Feel the cold breath on his body.

Since this person ascended to the fairy world, it seems that he has completely lost his human characteristics and temperament. To put it bluntly, he is not human, but to put it bluntly, he has lost his humanity and is a cold and heartless fairy.

The extreme coldness on his body made Situ Luo, who was closest to him, terrified. He couldn't help cheering up, and still bowed: "Master, I've come from a long way, thank you for your hard work."

"Why are there so many people every time?" Lu Xuange didn't seem to like the gathering of so many disciples, "Didn't I tell you not to put on such a big show?"

Situ Luo said with a sneer, "Master, you are an immortal, so you should be treated with caution."

Lu Xuange didn't bother to think about it, and said: "Forget it, don't let the disciples gather here, let's go back to the sect."

His Excellency Lu Xuan gave the instructions to return to the sect, and he took the lead in walking towards the mountain gate.Situ Luo next to him immediately gestured to the kneeling disciples in the arena, and everyone stood up one after another, gathered together spontaneously, and walked behind Lu Xuange.

At this time, Tu Yuan, who was standing among the crowd, raised his head and looked at Lu Xuange, who was standing at the forefront.

Lu Xuange returns to the school once in a hundred years. This frequency is actually very high for monks. After all, monks have a long lifespan. Time is not a supreme wealth for them. They can be squandered wantonly, provided that your cultivation is It needs to be high enough, the higher the cultivation level, the longer the lifespan. It is said that after ascension, it is basically equivalent to having an infinite lifespan.

Such a fairy with unlimited time frequently runs to the human world. You can say that he cares too much about the sect established by him, or you can say that he is reluctant to part with the disciples and companions in the sect.

However, Tu Yuan always felt that Lu Xuange's frequent running to the lower realm was not aimed at his sect at all.

But what was he coming for?Tu Yuan didn't know.

He also didn't want to know why.

Although Lu Xuange would appear in front of the disciples of the Qinghong Sword Sect every hundred years, it would only appear once. The disciples could only see Lu Xuange during the ceremony of the descending immortal. After Lu Xuange returned to the sect, he would never appear again. He will no longer appear in front of the sect's disciples. He has no idea where he went, and no one dares to ask him where he went. No one knows when he will return to the fairy world.

So this time is his last chance.

Tu Yuan's heart beat violently, and there was a sound like a drum beating in his ears. He took a deep breath, quickened his pace, squeezed through the crowd and walked towards Lu Xuange in front of him, as if he wanted to do something. Ying Gan, who was guarding him, noticed this, and immediately stretched out his hand to grab Tu Yuan's hand, intending to stop him.

Tu Yuan looked back at Yinggan.

This glance made Yinggan stunned, he had never seen Tu Yuan have such a look in his eyes, this kind of extremely firm eyes that never give up, made Yinggan's heart that seemed to be beating not beating start beating.

Then Tu Yuan shook off Yinggan's hand, turned around and walked quickly towards Lu Xuange without looking back. He accelerated his speed, and he quickly blocked Lu Xuange and the head of the sect, Situ Luo. In front of him, Lu Xuange and Situ Luo couldn't help but stop because of his obstruction, and looked at him with cold or sharp eyes.

Naturally, there were also disciples nearby who were paying close attention to Shangxian and his own sect master. Seeing that Tu Yuan stepped forward to block the footsteps of others, a group of people suddenly burst into an uproar, showing expressions of fun to watch, and gathered spontaneously.

"My God! It's Tu Yuan, who dares to stop Shangxian, is he desperate?" Someone in the crowd whispered.

Situ Luo next to Lu Xuan Pavilion also reacted, showing an obvious displeasure expression, and said to Tu Yuan, "Tu Yuan, what are you doing?"

Tu Yuan was so nervous that he couldn't breathe smoothly, but he still forced himself to bow his head and raise his hands in a bow, and said to Situ Luo: "Master, I have something to ask for an answer from the immortal. I know I'm not qualified, so I'm afraid to answer If you go to the sect, you won't have the chance to meet Shangxian, so no matter what, I hope Shangxian can answer me today."

"Stop messing around here!" Situ Luo became even more displeased, "Don't you feel ashamed enough?"

At this time, Yinggan also squeezed through the crowd and followed up. Seeing this scene, he immediately rushed forward and grabbed Tu Yuan's arm, then he glanced at Lu Xuange and Situ Luo, and quickly knelt down and said politely to Situ Luo and Lu Xuange : "Sect master, Shangxian, my master did not intend to be rash, please calm down."

Lu Xuange looked at Yinggan, then at Tu Yuan, suddenly sneered, stopped Situ Luo, who was still wanting to say something, and said to Tu Yuan, "Which elder are you a disciple? What's your name?" ?”

Tu Yuan immediately returned respectfully: "Under the sect of Elder Tu Ling, my name is Tu Yuan."

"It turned out to be Elder Tu Ling's sect. I saw your master not long ago... in the fairy world." Lu Xuange spoke softly, and he didn't seem to be very angry at Tu Yuan's offensive behavior, which made Tu Yuan feel at ease. few.

Tu Yuan, who had settled down, immediately raised his voice, and excitedly said to Lu Xuange: "If Shangxian sees my master, please take me to say hello to his old man."

"There is no chance." Although Lu Xuange seemed to be speaking gently, his tone was quite cold: "Your master, Tu Ling, failed to improve his realm. He has already fallen into a demon and was thrown into the demon world."

This sentence made Tu Yuan dumbfounded, he raised his head tremblingly, and stared at Lu Xuange in astonishment.

Even for immortals who have already ascended, there are indeed many people who will fall into the devil's way... or rather, many immortals may fall into the devil's way.

Gods and demons have always been one family since ancient times, and all ways lead to the same goal, and all methods return to the same family. It's just that gods have the way of living, and demons have the chicness of demons. One thought becomes a god and one thought becomes a demon. It is a matter of blurred boundaries. Many monks in the world will have inner demons due to various problems, and these inner demons are also the main reason for these monks to fall into the devil's way.

It is not uncommon for a soaring immortal to fall into the evil way, but that immortal is the master Tu Yuan has always respected, which made Tu Yuan find it hard to accept for a while.

What was even more unacceptable to him was that Lu Xuange calmly told this matter in front of everyone, without taboo at all, or taking into account Tu Yuan's feelings.

Lu Xuange didn't seem to have much interest in this matter, and before Tu Yuan came back to his senses, he continued, "You stopped me, do you have any questions to ask? Don't be dazed, just say it."

Only then did Tu Yuan come back to his senses, barely restraining the turmoil in his heart, he said tremblingly: "I would like to ask Shangxian, my cultivation base has been stuck at the Nascent Soul stage and I have a feeling that my cultivation base has reached It is possible to break through the peak at any time, but it has been delayed for nearly 1000 years. I have some pointers."

Hearing the words, Lu Xuange looked Tu Yuan up and down, and said with a smile, "You have a demon, and this demon prevents you from breaking through the realm."

Tu Yuan's head was even lower, and he replied: "Shangxian, I have also realized that I have a heart demon, but I don't know how to get rid of this heart demon."

Lu Xuange didn't answer the question. He turned his head and glanced at Yinggan beside Tu Yuan, and asked Tu Yuan, "Is this your envoy?"

"Yes, he is my servant." Tu Yuan didn't want Lu Xuange's attention to turn to Yinggan beside him, which even made him take a step closer to Yinggan beside him, intending to block Lu Xuange with his body Sight.

Because Lu Xuange's gaze was too cold and sharp, Tu Yuan always felt that the eyes he was looking at Yinggan were filled with a terrifying murderous intent, which made Tu Yuan feel a sense of fear and an ominous premonition.

Sure enough, Lu Xuange uttered shocking words to Tu Yuan again, he said: "Kill this envoy, and your demons will be relieved."

Tu Yuan was stunned, and after a long time, he replied eagerly: "Shangxian, he is just a servant, how can he make me have a demon?"

"An envoy's cultivation base is higher than that of the master, and higher than that of many disciples present." Lu Xuange suddenly took a step towards Tu Yuan, stepped in front of Tu Yuan, stared at Tu Yuan, and saw Tu Yuan trembled, "A servant, you don't hesitate to block him with your body, intending to block my killing intent on him."

"He's just a tool, and he's still a dirty monster, a filthy zombie." Lu Xuange said, "You become dependent on him, have a desire to protect him, and even have a nostalgic attachment to him."

"This is your inner demon." Lu Xuange's ruthless voice filled Tu Yuan's ears, "Kill him, and your path of cultivation will continue."

Tu Yuan could hardly stop the trembling of his body.

There was complete silence around, and all the disciples watching held their breaths and shut their mouths and did not dare to say anything. Hundreds of eyes fell on Tu Yuan's body, leaving Tu Yuan's mind blank and unable to think seriously.

However, Lu Xuange's words kept echoing in his heart.

Have a nostalgia for Yingqian?

He has known this kind of thing for a long time, many years ago, but he can't remember the reason why he is attached to Yinggan. Maybe it was when he woke up one morning and saw Yinggan standing still. When he was by his side; maybe when he was thirsty and wanted to drink tea, and Ying Gan handed him a glass of water; maybe there were more and more... Because there were too many such things, Tu Yuan couldn't remember clearly.

But Tu Yuan was very clear deep in his heart. He clearly knew that it was probably the moment when this nostalgia arose that caused Tu Yuan to be deeply trapped in the inner demon all day long, and he could no longer extricate himself.

----

"How does it feel to fall in love with a zombie?"

"What? Zombie, are you crazy?"

"I'm just asking...not saying I really like zombies."

"Then let me tell you the truth, Xingluozong, you know, that sect that has accepted many female disciples, there is also a female disciple who likes monsters in their sect, who was expelled after being discovered by the master sect." The sect ran away with the monster, and then there was no news of it. Later, when someone went to investigate, it was discovered that how could the monster like human beings? If you were stewed and eaten alive, it would be a miserable death!"

"Even if there are one or two nasty monsters, it doesn't mean that all monsters are like this."

"Brother, you are so naive. It is true that there are good monsters among monsters, but what percentage of such good monsters are there? Especially zombies, they are monsters among monsters! Do you know what a zombie is? It is a living corpse, dead Bloody corpses have no emotion or humanity, bloodthirsty zombies are even worse, all living flesh and blood creatures are 'food' in their eyes, do you have any feelings for food?"

No, that's not the case.

Tu Yuan sat on the chair shaking his feet, turned his head and looked at Ying Gan who was helping him copy the scriptures before reading the case. Ying Gan sat in a very standard posture, and his posture when copying was also very standard. Every word he wrote on the paper They all imitated Tu Yuan's handwriting exquisitely, and wrote very quickly.

Tu Yuan secretly watched him for a while, but he didn't know what kind of heart it was, he suddenly asked: "Yinggan, do you want to drink human blood?"

This question made Ying Gan over there tremble, his brush was unsteady, and he drew crooked strokes on the paper.

Ying Gan raised his head and looked at Tu Yuan, his expression was very calm, showing no emotion at all.Yinggan has always been like this. He used to cry and laugh when he was still a human being, but since he became a zombie, Tu Yuan found that he hardly smiled anymore. Yinggan will always be that expressionless face. , is always that calm as water attitude.

He was too calm, so calm that he seemed not interested in anything, he would only execute Tu Yuan's orders like a machine, never express his own thoughts, and never say "no" to Tu Yuan.

This occasionally makes Tu Yuan feel a little frustrated.

Even so, Tu Yuan still felt that Yinggan probably liked him, because Yinggan treated Tu Yuan so well, better than everyone in the world treated him.

This kind of thought made Tu Yuan a little happy. He jumped off the chair, ran to Ying Gan, stretched out his arms and hugged Ying Gan's shoulders, and sat generously on Ying Gan's lap, leaning close to his face. Said to him: "Since you followed me into the sect, I have been letting you drink the blood of those raised animals. Do you want to drink human blood? If it is a zombie, you should think about it?"

Ying Gan was silent for a while, and then replied slowly: "If you want me to drink..."

Tu Yuan felt that he had guessed right. He had read the records of monster characteristics before. It said that bloodthirsty zombies like Yinggan would always be hungry if they did not drink human blood. Hungry zombies are very painful. Painful and irritable, because the blood of ordinary animals cannot satisfy them at all.

"Then drink mine!" Tu Yuan seriously suggested. He opened the collar of his clothes, revealing a large area of ​​his neck and collarbone. The blue blood vessels under his fair skin were clearly audible. The bewitching fragrance made Yinggan swallow his saliva involuntarily.

But Yinggan didn't do anything, he stood up suddenly, and pushed Tu Yuan away abruptly, Tu Yuan was pushed down by him and sat on the ground, a little dazed, looking at Yinggan in bewilderment.

"It's okay, as long as you don't inject me with the corpse poison, I'll just lose some blood." Tu Yuan thought he was worried about this.

But Yinggan stood up and looked at Tu Yuan with indifference. This was the first time he refused Tu Yuan's request, and he said, "I can't do this, because I can't help but want to kill you."

He was very serious when he said this, and he didn't mean to be joking at all.

Then he left, left the room, out of Tu Yuan's sight.

This is just an incident like a minor episode in life. It shouldn't have attracted Tu Yuan's attention, but for some reason, Tu Yuan firmly remembered the eyes that Yinggan looked at him at that time. There was indeed a strong murderous intent in it, and that kind of icy cold feeling, let Tu Yuan remember it to this day.

Then Tu Yuan couldn't help but began to wonder.

He would think, does Yinggan really like him?

He couldn't help testing this person at first, he wanted to know what the bottom line of Yinggan was, so Tu Yuan ordered him to do all kinds of excessive things, steal and rob him to be a clown, insult him, scold him, and even be cruel. Hit him, but Yinggan didn't respond at all, Yinggan has always had that expression, that... cold expression.

It's suffocatingly cold.

How can you be so calm?

Tu Yuan lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt down in front of Lu Xuange, and respectfully said to Lu Xuange: "Thank you Shangxian for your guidance, I already know where my inner demon lies, and I am really grateful to be able to listen to Shangxian's teachings today. If you have the opportunity to ascend to the Immortal Realm, you will definitely repay the Immortal in the future."

"At this point, the junior will retire."

After finishing speaking, Tu Yuan stood up, stretched out his hand and pulled Ying Gan who was also kneeling next to him to get up, wanting to take him away.

But at this time, Lu Xuange seemed to be unwilling to let go, and said, "Wait a minute."

Tu Yuan paused for a moment, turned around and bowed again: "What else does the Immortal have to say?"

Lu Xuange narrowed his eyes: "Since you already know where your inner demon lies, why don't you kill him?"

Tu Yuan bit his lower lip subconsciously, and replied slowly: "Shangxian, I will deal with him later, I will do it now, I am afraid it will dirty your eyes..."

Before Tu Yuan could finish speaking, Lu Xuange interrupted him: "I, Lu Xuange, have killed more monsters than you imagined. How could I dirty my eyes? And he has your life and death order on him, let him die It's just a matter of a moment, and the death method of extinction will not leave even ashes, why are you still hesitating?"

Tu Yuan was silent for a while, as if he couldn't think of an excuse to delay, he took a deep breath and raised his head to look at Lu Xuange, staring straight into the eyes of the other party, without the slightest intention of giving in.

"Shangxian, I don't want to kill him." Tu Yuan said, "If you say he is my heart demon, then I will undo his life and death order and let him go. As long as I am not with him, then The inner demons will also be lifted automatically."

"Ignorant boy, you are making excuses for yourself to escape." Lu Xuange suddenly reached out and pulled out the saber hanging from the waist of Situ Luo who was standing next to him. The tip of the sword flashed and pointed at Yinggan who was beside Tu Yuan, sternly Said: "You can't kill him, I will help you!"

As soon as Lu Xuange's words fell, the tip of the sword pierced directly towards Yinggan. The immortal's attack was completely beyond what Yinggan could resist now. If this sword is really hit, Yinggan will definitely die without a place to die!

Tu Yuan was frightened, so frightened that he instinctively stepped forward to block Yinggan, but Yinggan was one step ahead of him, and pushed Tu Yuan away beside him with his hand, Lu Xuange immediately pushed Yinggan away The sword pierced through the heart, and flames ignited inexplicably on the blade, and the flames began to spread to Yinggan's body, spreading along the position of the sword in his heart.

Then Lu Xuange withdrew the sword forcefully and flicked it casually, the blade was still as sharp as ever.

"My real fire will completely purify him, and he will still be completely annihilated in the end, not even ashes are left." Lu Xuange inserted the blade back into Situ Luo's scabbard, and looked at Situ Luo with a disdainful look. The pale Tu Yuan said, "And, falling in love with monsters is a big taboo for cultivators, so drive him out of the Qinghong Sword Sect."

After finishing speaking, Lu Xuange waved his long sleeves and continued to walk towards the mountain gate. Everyone behind him followed. Countless people bypassed Tu Yuan and Yinggan who was lying on the ground, and looked at them with pity or ridicule. After a while, people left in disorder, leaving only Tu Yuan and Ying Gan still in place.

Tu Yuan got up and crawled to Yinggan's side, reaching out to touch him.

But Ying Gan stopped it: "Don't touch it, the real fire will burn you."

The flame is the real fire of the immortal. The flame is extremely strong and hot, and can purify all filthy existence. It is comparable to the effect of the underworld fire, but the real fire is not used to burn the soul, but to burn like Yinggan. of monsters.

Ying Gan didn't seem to be in pain, although there was a big hole in his chest, and the flames slowly burned his body like burning paper, just like what Lu Xuange said, he would be burned clean by the flames, leaving ashes Not left.

"It's okay, I'll find a way to save you." Tu Yuan's voice was trembling when he spoke, his face was pale, but he forced himself to smile, and tried his best to reach out to support Yinggan and comfort him, but he didn't know what it was Instead of comforting himself, he said, "I will save you, I will definitely save you."

Ying Gan turned his head and looked at him. In fact, at this moment, he didn't care whether he would die or not. He stared at Tu Yuan beside him. This young man would always be the same as when he first saw him. He was so beautiful, like Ying Gan. The fire in my heart is the only fire in this dark world, so no matter how many shortcomings he has, no matter whether he is good or bad, Yinggan will accept him without hesitation.

"Are you really... as Lu Xuange said just now, are you showing affection to me?" Yinggan felt his heart was beating, even though a hole had been burned through his chest by the flames, and his heart had been melted by the flames , but he felt that his heart was beating.

And he jumped very fast, as if he had come back to life and become a human being again.

The moment Lu Xuange said that Tu Yuan had been attached to him, Yinggan felt as if he had been reborn, and he felt so ecstatic like never before.

"You want to know?" Tu Yuan grabbed his hand and smiled at him while crying: "If you want to know... If you survive, I will tell you."

Yinggan nodded, he will survive, he will survive well, He Qianjue made him a stand-in, so now it is not himself who will die in his place, but that puppet.

But he didn't have time to tell Tu Yuan this.

Because the flames on his body suddenly exploded, engulfing Yinggan all at once, Yinggan saw this, and pushed Tu Yuan away again, Tu Yuan was pushed back several steps, raised his head At that time, Yinggan had been completely swallowed by the flames, and he was burned instantly. He didn't even utter any screams, and disappeared without a sound.

On the ground where he once stood, there was only one crystal clear and round bead lying there, which was the Illusion Realm Bead.
