Hard to be a master

Both master and apprentice were taken aback when they heard the words.

Guan Jingxuan lost his composure rarely, and said in shock: "Demon?! How is it possible?!"

It is not uncommon for monks to have inner demons in the process of training, but under the influence of inner demons, monks will always be affected in terms of temper, making people who are usually gentle become vicious and mean, and people with strong tempers are more irritable and irritable. Demons can often be detected quickly after they are produced, and monks can also find ways to eliminate them in time.But in the past two years, Guan Jingxuan and Shen Ziliu have faced each other day and night, and they have not found anything wrong with Shen Ziliu's words and deeds. Especially after the two are together, Shen Ziliu's temper has become even better. It looks like a demon.

Ye Zhiyuan said: "His inner demon is very special, in a state of being completely suppressed, it's normal that you can't find it."

Guan Jingxuan said: "But if the heart demon can be completely suppressed, it should disappear naturally after a while."

Ye Zhiyuan said: "That's why I said that his inner demon is very special."

Hearing what Ye Zhiyuan meant, there was something hidden in it, so Guan Jingxuan invited people back to the front hall to sit down, asked Shen Ziliu to brew three cups of hot tea and served them, before saying: "I would like to hear more about it."

Ye Zhiyuan looked at Shen Ziliu, and said: "The reason why I say that Mr. Shen's heart demon is special is because it is connected to the flowers in the lotus pond, and secondly, it is believed to have been born and preserved."

Although Guan Jingxuan and Shen Ziliu were confused, their expressions became solemn.Ye Zhiyuan was not in a hurry to explain, but instead asked: "Do you know what the flower in the lotus pond is?"

Both master and apprentice shook their heads.

Ye Zhiyuan said: "It's the secret treasure of my demon clan - Zhenshi Heilian."

Guan Jingxuan has studied a lot, but he has never heard of Zhenshi Black Lotus, so he asked: "I have only heard of Mieshi Black Lotus, but I don't know what Zhenshi Black Lotus is?"

Ye Zhiyuan said: "In ancient times, the Creation Green Lotus disintegrated, and one of the lotus seeds turned into the Black Lotus, which was obtained by the Demon Ancestor. Later, the Demon Ancestor died, and the Black Lotus disappeared in the civil war of the Demon Clan—— This is a well-known history of the Mozu. But few people know that after the death of the Mozu, the Mieshi Hei Lian once moved among several major families of the Mozu. The strange thing is that the Mieshihei has been safe in the hands of the Mozu. Lian, no matter which family owns it, it will bring endless blood and light to that family."

"Despite this, the powerful power of the Mieshi Heilian was still coveted by countless demons, and the competition for it did not stop for a moment until Tianhong Demon Venerable wiped out all the forces and unified the demons. Tianhong Demon believed that the Mieshi Heilian was an ancient demon. The nature of demons is difficult to tame. Since the death of the demon ancestor, no one can fully control it. Staying in the demon clan will only bring disasters. Therefore, the other three demon venerables sealed the black lotus and sent it to Jiuyou. No one knows the exact location of Tianhong Demon Venerable."

"However, there is one more thing that even the other three Demon Venerables don't know. Before sealing the Black Lotus, Demon Lord Tianhong quietly left three lotus seeds of the Black Lotus, and two of them died soon. Withered and rotted, only one remained. After nearly a hundred years of cultivation, it finally grew into—that is Zhenshi Black Lotus."

"Although the power of the Zhenshi Black Lotus is not as powerful as that of Mieshi Black Lotus, it is still the ultimate secret treasure that is incomparable to any other magic weapon. Every time the Zhenshi Black Lotus fully blooms, it will produce a magic core, allowing the The holder has the ability to escape from the sky and the earth, and can even bring the dead back to life. Zhenshi Heilian recognized Tianhong Demon Venerable as the master, and only the blood of the Tianhong Demon Venerable can drive it. Because of this, since then Tianhong Demon Venerable The direct descendants of my family—that is, my Ye clan, have always had an unshakable position in the demon clan."

Guan Jingxuan was a little surprised. According to Ye Zhiyuan's words, the status of the Ye clan among the demon clan was equivalent to that of the royal family in the human world, but in all the books he had read about the demon clan, he had never seen such a record.

Ye Zhiyuan seemed to see the doubts in Guan Jingxuan's heart, and said: "The demons don't like the human race. Regardless of origin, as long as you are strong enough, you can win the respect of the tribe. Although my Ye clan can drive the black lotus that suppresses the world, But no one will use it easily, the price is too high. Moreover, hundreds of years ago, the Zhenshi Heilian was suddenly lost. For so many years, the Ye clan has been secretly looking for the Zhenshi Heilian, but they didn't expect it to steal all the demons. Qi, drifted to Kunlun, no wonder we couldn't find it no matter how hard we searched."

The existence of Zhenshi Heilian can be regarded as Ye's biggest secret. Ye Zhiyuan told Guan Jingxuan and Shen Ziliu so lightly, which surprised both master and apprentice.

Guan Jingxuan said: "Then Mr. Ye just said that Xiaoliu's inner demon was artificially created and connected with Zhenshi Heilian, so what's going on?"

Ye Zhiyuan said: "There are only two ways to urge the Hei Lian to break away, one is to use the demon cultivator at the level of the demon king to sacrifice his own demon spirit, and the other is to use the inner demon of a monk with powerful spiritual power to come." Nourishment. The former can push the black lotus away in a very short time, but once the demons lose their demons, it is equivalent to the destruction of the dantian of the cultivator's spiritual veins, and it is difficult to make much progress from the beginning on the road of cultivation. .”

"Although the second method can transfer the cost of urging the world-suppressing black lotus to others, it takes a very long time and is extremely uncontrollable. First of all, we must find a spiritual cultivator with strong spiritual power to turn the world-suppressing black lotus The lotus seed is near him. Secondly, plant an introduction on this immortal cultivator before he has a demon, so as to ensure that as long as he produces a demon, the demon will automatically be connected with the Zhenshi Black Lotus. Finally, we must Find a way to let his inner demon grow, the stronger the inner demon, the more nourishment the Zhenshi Black Lotus will receive, and the easier it will be to bloom."

Ye Zhiyuan took another look at Shen Ziliu, and continued: "During the investigation just now, I found that Mr. Shen's inner demons should have been eliminated in a natural state, but because someone planted an introduction, his The inner demon is connected with the township black lotus, so it has been preserved until now. Although it is in a dormant state, if in the future, it becomes obsessed or receives specific stimuli during practice, the sleeping demon will be awakened, and because of being affected by the black lotus The influence of demon energy will be more dangerous and difficult than ordinary demons."

Hearing what Ye Zhiyuan said, Guan Jingxuan was even more worried. He frowned and said, "So someone did this on purpose? But Xiaoliu came to Kunlun less than 20 years ago, and this flower was built as early as I built it. Qingmengyuan has already taken root here, right?"

Ye Zhiyuan had a relaxed look on his face, and said: "In my opinion, the person who planted the township black lotus and the person who tried to use Mr. Shen's inner demon to drive the black lotus open are not necessarily the same person."

Shen Ziliu, who had been silent all this time, finally said: "You mean, the reason why this flower appeared here should have nothing to do with me, but it just happened to be used by someone with a heart?"

Ye Zhiyuan smiled and nodded: "It can be understood in this way. And I don't know if you have noticed——"

Ye Zhiyuan cleared away the weeds around the lotus pond as he spoke, and signaled the master and apprentice to carefully look at the faint traces around the lotus pond, saying: "This lotus pond has been hidden by people with spells. Pass."
