For the magician table [system]

"Pfft." Lin Mo spat out a mouthful of sand, looked around, and asked, "What is this place?"

"The entrance between the human world and the demon world." Zhu Xiaojiu's voice was muffled. Lin Mo looked back and found that he buried his face in his hands and was drooping his head dejectedly.

Master must be very disappointed with me now.he thought desperately.Just now, for the sake of himself, the master made a solemn oath and gave up the way...

Zhu Xiaojiu didn't know what to say, he knew he should tell the truth about what happened, but the source of everything was so ashamed to speak, Zhu Xiaojiu really didn't know what to say.

He could only lower his head even harder, and remained silent without saying a word.

Time passed quietly, Lin Mo thoughtfully didn't ask any questions, but just accompanied him quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Xiaojiu finally cleared up her thoughts.

Silence will not help solve the problem, but will make it worse.No matter how embarrassing it is, you should tell everything.

"I..." Zhu Xiaojiu plucked up his courage, and he slowly raised his head: "Uh... what is Master looking at?"

"Oh, 2 minutes, wait for me to finish this paragraph." Lin Mo finished speaking habitually, and suddenly realized who he was talking to, and raised his head reluctantly: "Aren't you going to think about it for a while?"

"I just thought about it for a while, is Master so impatient?" Zhu Xiaojiu couldn't help blurting out sourly, "I think Master is more interested in this jade slip than in me..."

Lin Mo just smiled and said nothing.

In fact, Zhu Xiaojiu didn't "think about it a little bit", the two of them had already stayed at the entrance for a long time.Lin Mo was very worried at first that there would be pursuers attacking, but after waiting left and right, there was no one there. Zhu Xiaojiu kept still in such a contemplative posture. He waited for a long time and felt a little bored, so he took I read the Jade Slips—I can’t help it, seeing the wonderful things being interrupted suddenly, it feels so heart-scratching!

However, since the apprentice raised his opinion, Lin Mo put away the novel in a good manner.

Of course, he still cared about Zhu Xiaojiu after all, not to mention that Zhu Xiaojiu finally expressed his willingness to communicate. Feeling the responsibility of being a teacher, Lin Mo thought about it carefully and decided to ask questions himself.

"What happened? How did you become so..." Lin Mo tried his best to choose the words that would least irritate him, "...ugly?"

"Am I just ugly now?" Zhu Xiaojiu said dissatisfiedly, "Master, I've gone mad!"

I don't think I've gone mad, but I've taken the wrong medicine.Lin Mo secretly thought.

Of course, he would not say such a suspected attack on Zhu Xiaojiu's IQ so bluntly.

"Did you eat something strange?" Lin Mo looked at him suspiciously.

Is this the kind of virtue that I have in your heart, Master?Zhu Xiaojiu was a little angry just now, but after thinking about it, the reason for her accident was not very honorable, it seemed that it could also be attributed to "eating something strange", so she had to respond sullenly.

"The thing is like this, after Master ignores me..."

"Wait, when did I ignore you?" Lin Mo looked at him inexplicably.

Zhu Xiaojiu's eyes darkened, is Master planning to treat everything as if it didn't happen?

"Master." He looked straight at Lin Mo earnestly, "Just now on Hulu Mountain, I said every word from my heart. Since I chose to speak out, I have already decided to bear considerable consequences. Therefore, Master, there is no need to pretend I don't know, I, I..."

What is this kid talking about? Did he say anything important just now?

Lin Mo thought about it carefully, Zhu Xiaojiu had indeed called her own name directly after being enchanted, and couldn't help being furious: "It turns out that you kid has such an evil intention!"

"Master..."

Although Lin Mo's reaction had been predicted long ago, Zhu Xiaojiu still felt a slight pain in his heart when he saw the person who had protected him behind him just now glaring at him.

"I..." He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he couldn't, because now he was completely overwhelmed by sad emotions, even breathing was extremely difficult, and he didn't have any leeway.

Seeing that Zhu Xiaojiu was so shocked, Lin Mo's heart softened immediately, and he couldn't help coaxing him softly: "Okay, for the sake of the first time, I will forgive you as a teacher." You. As long as you don’t commit any more crimes in the future, respect your teacher a little more..."

"No." Hearing this sentence, Zhu Xiaojiu's reaction was extremely fierce, and he said firmly with firm eyes: "Only this, Xiaojiu can't do it."

Lin Mo was taken aback by his serious expression, and thought to himself that this kid actually wants to call me by my name so much, is it necessary to be so persistent?

But after thinking about it, although one day is a teacher and a lifetime is a father, but the life of a cultivator is indeed too long.Lin Mo is not a person who sticks to one address, as long as the respect remains unchanged, since he wants to call it that way, let him call it that way.

Sighing, Lin Mo said in a low voice: "Since you insist on this... then it's up to you. But, don't get carried away by it."

--what? !

Zhu Xiaojiu's eyes widened in disbelief, and the sudden surprise fell from the sky. This huge shock made him unable to believe his ears for a moment, and even his breathing trembled: "Master...you agreed?"

"That's right." The expression on Zhu Xiaojiu's face is really cute now, even the ferocious tattoos can't hide the little animal's eyes of surprise and satisfaction like eating food.While he was squatting on the ground, Lin Mo took advantage of his height and quickly reached out to pat his head comfortingly: "Since you have this idea, being a teacher is not a stubborn person, as long as the due respect is still there, the rest will be fine." Come with you."

In an instant, the frenzy of joy drowned everything, Zhu Xiaojiu could not hear any sound except Lin Mo's breathing in his ears, and could not see other scenery except Lin Mo's figure in his eyes.In the whole heart, in the whole world, there is only one Lin Mo, his joy arises because of him, and his life is also radiant because of him.

Nodding vigorously, Zhu Xiaojiu's eyes became moist unconsciously.He felt that he should say some sweet love words and talk about some bright future at this time - but he really lacked the corresponding experience and talent.

Therefore, Zhu Xiaojiu had no choice but to use the most sincere voice, amidst subtle embarrassment and joy, to slowly make the firmest and shortest promise in her life: "Yes, Master."

"Just call me Lin Mo." Lin Mo didn't expect that one of his answers would make Zhu Xiaojiu so happy, and the haze in his heart also eased a little. He looked at him with a soft smile and said softly: "I promise you La."

Zhu Xiaojiu responded again, he lowered his head again, and when he raised it again, even Lin Mo could feel a different aura gradually appearing on him.

If Zhu Xiaojiu was still a childish boy just a moment ago, now he has fully grown into a responsible young man.

Sure enough, the name is very important.Lin Mo nodded secretly. It is really difficult for a little kid who only calls him Shizun to grow up. It's just that he changed his name, and his whole spirit is different!This experience is worth promoting!

Before he could spread out further, Zhu Xiaojiu had already started talking calmly.

"You mean, when you drank the tea of ​​Menghai, you already expected such consequences?"

Zhu Xiaojiu shook her head: "No, I didn't realize the strangeness until I saw the master in my dream."

Lin Mo suspected that he was secretly blaming himself for the way he usually treated him, so he pretended not to know the way he treated him, so he pretended to be ignorant: "Then you just follow the plan? But I don't understand, how did you ensure that you can maintain your own consciousness?"

"Well... After I entered the gate, I found that the inside was quite familiar, much like the box that Master gave me." Zhu Xiaojiu recalled, "At that time, I had a vague premonition in my heart. I was about to open a certain box. It was an extremely terrifying thing, so I quietly hid a part of my consciousness around Zhu Wujun."

"You used this part of your consciousness to compete with the consciousness of the demon, and you still won?" Lin Mo became more and more incredible as he heard it, "And Zhu Wujun didn't do anything wrong?"

Zhu Xiaojiu smiled and said: "The demon seed has swallowed my consciousness, and Zhu Wujun will also be scattered. He dare not do anything at this time. As for the consciousness of the demon seed..."

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Xiaojiu said uncertainly: "It seems that there have been two forces fighting in the demon seed for a long time. When I entered, they seemed to have lost both."

"Maybe this is the conflict between the original consciousness of the demon species and the evil thoughts from outside." Lin Mo couldn't help being afraid for a while when he thought of this episode. If either party is too powerful, it will swallow the other party to strengthen itself. vitality.

And this delicate balance, is this kid doing it on purpose, or is it really just a coincidence from heaven?

For some reason, thinking of these two words, Lin Mo felt restless.He shook his head vigorously, shaking off complicated thoughts, and asked again: "Since you have already controlled the demon seed, why did you become like this? Even razed the Hulu faction to the ground?"

"That's the Xiaojiu faction!" Zhu Xiaojiu first corrected her carefully, and then answered Lin Mo's question embarrassingly: "This is the aftereffect of the overflow of the power of the demon seed. I don't want to become like this. It's not good, I was confused by the residual consciousness of the demon for a while, and I just felt sullen in my heart, so..."

"Yuan Lai and the others must be very sad after they go back." Lin Mo murmured, "I don't know if someone will embarrass them, we really should inform them."

But Zhu Xiaojiu didn't take it seriously: "I've already passed the induction to my junior brother, he will understand! Besides, if the situation is not good, they can also hide in the realm of destruction, and nothing will happen."

Lin Mo has been worried for a long time, so he will not be relieved by his short words, but his mood has improved, but he feels more guilty towards them.

Under the situation just now, Lin Mo's only thought was to escape as soon as possible.And the way he came up with was to use an oath to gain the trust of others, and then escape when the other party was careless.

Lin Mo doesn't need to fool everyone, nor does he need to delay for too long, he just needs to take a breath.As long as others have even a slight hesitation because they mistakenly think that he is going to change the place to kill the killer, Zhu Xiaojiu can take advantage of this time to quickly escape into the void.

Cultivator Nascent Soul's understanding of space is already very good. As long as the traces are dealt with properly, it will be difficult for anyone to catch up. Of course, whether Zhu Xiaojiu is still a Nascent Soul is another question.

In fact, thinking about it now, this plan is very risky.If Lin Mo was given enough time to think about it, he might not be able to think of a better way, but Lin Mo still chose such a way that would cause hidden dangers to himself, and the things contained in it shocked even himself.

"Master...Lin Mo, can I ask you a question?" After a while, Zhu Xiaojiu said cautiously.

Lin Mo looked at him slightly surprised: "What?"

"At that time, how were you sure, I, I..." Zhu Xiaojiu blushed a little and couldn't continue.

In fact, at that time, he should have told Lin Mo the truth immediately, but due to the trance caused by the residual consciousness of the demon species, and the stubbornness that could not be explained clearly, he chose to keep silent.

At that time, Zhu Xiaojiu was really discouraged, and he even thought to himself, since the master didn't accept him, then it's okay for him to die.

However, under such circumstances, Lin Mo still chose to believe him.

"I'm your master." Lin Mo smiled, "If it's so easy to be swallowed up by something else, how could it be Zhu Xiaojiu whom my master knew?"
