Xianmen does not ask about the mundane

Seeing this, Qiu Yan paused, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.

Fighting with Du Yuehua for so long just now consumed a lot of his physical strength, and he ran for so long in the forest with Zhu Lingxuan on his back just now, he was already sweating profusely, and his physical strength was not much left.

Facing this group of living dead in front of him, if he was still in his prime, he might be able to escape with all his strength, but now that Zhu Lingyuan is exhausted and seriously injured, it is really difficult to move.

After hesitating for a moment, Chou Yan heard a sound behind him, and when he turned around, he found that the living dead had also chased him, and with a glaring black aura, he suddenly formed a front and back attack with the black shadow in front of him.

He stood in it and watched the undead approaching quickly, his brain was running fast, and he couldn't find a way to get the two of them out.

Zhu Lingyu knew that he was in a dilemma and didn't want to drag him down, so he was struggling to come down.Qiu Yan didn't know what was going on in his mind, so he quickly raised his hand to stabilize the man's back.

Zhu Lingyu was powerless to struggle, so she could only lean into his ear and said, "These things are coming for me, you put me down and escape by yourself. Although I have no strength to move, the spiritual power in my body can still help you Resisting one or two is enough for you to escape."

"No, your spirit veins have been damaged, and you absolutely can't make another move. Just rest on my back and suppress your spirit power so that you don't get sucked back. I will take you out."

Qiu Yan turned his head and said in a firm tone, but seeing the encirclement getting smaller and smaller, his brows were already wrinkled enough to kill mosquitoes, and he didn't know whether these words were comforting Zhu Lingyu, or lying to himself .

Zhu Lingyu thought that he wanted to suppress the spiritual power, but the spiritual vein was damaged, and the spiritual power was completely out of his control.Immediately, he felt a fishy throat, swallowed the blood forcefully, gritted his teeth and said: "Don't be self-willed, you...you can barely escape by yourself, take me with you, you will definitely die."

"It was you who rescued me on Mount Li, so what if I give this life back to you."

"Stupid or not, you survived by your own life. I went there...just happened to pick you up. There is no such thing as saving your life."

"If you hadn't been protecting me every night on Mount Li, I'm afraid I would have been eaten by a beast without knowing it. I am homeless, and you brought me back to Xuanqing Mountain. How could I have left you? At worst, I would have died in Here, you will not be alone on the road to Huangquan."

After hearing this, Zhu Lingyou leaned on his shoulder and smiled helplessly.

This junior brother really didn't love him for nothing.

"It's my fault this time, I brought you here with conceit, you..."

Before Zhu Lingyu could continue to say something, he suddenly let out a muffled snort.Knowing that those living corpses were approaching with resentment and had already begun to affect his body, Qiu Yan couldn't help but said worriedly: "Shut up. I told you, I will definitely take you out."

As soon as the words fell, a living corpse rushed forward.With Zhu Lingyu on his back, Qiu Yan couldn't use his sword, so he could only lift his foot and kick it away.Followed by another person, he managed to dodge sideways.

These living dead rushed towards him one by one. Although they were not as quick and agile as the ones they encountered in the deep forest before, they would only attack people unconsciously. It was not difficult to deal with, but it was inevitable that Qiu Yan would be a little scared when he carried Zhu Lingyuan on his back. For those who are afraid, if one is accidentally caught with a wound, those grievances will immediately take advantage of it.

He deliberately approached the edge of the forest while evading, but he couldn't use a sword, couldn't knock down the living dead with a single blow, so he could only let them stage wheel battles tirelessly, consuming his energy frequently.As long as he couldn't dodge, he would rather send himself up than let those living dead touch Zhu Lingyu.

Those grievances kept penetrating into his internal organs from the wound, and it didn't take long for him to gradually feel that his reaction was not as good as before, and his skills were getting slower and slower.

At this time, he had just committed himself to dodge a person, and was so exhausted that he couldn't help resting on his knees for a while, but he didn't expect a living corpse to rush towards him immediately.He was invaded by resentment, and most of his five senses had already been lost. He couldn't react for a while. Seeing the man's hand, which was full of black air, reach out to Zhu Lingyu, who was already unconscious on his back, he felt anxious and tensed all the muscles in his body. But how can also stand up.

For a moment, he felt as if he had returned to the time when he came down from Lishan Mountain and returned to the capital.At that time, he obviously only wanted to be a leisurely prince for the rest of his life. If the monarch had something to do, he would help him with peace of mind, and if the monarch had nothing to do, he would be a carefree person. It collapsed overnight, but there was nothing he could do, except being forced to accept it.

Now he finally let go of everything in the capital, and came to Xuanqing Mountain to meet these good teachers and helpful friends as Qiu Yan, and met Zhu Lingyu, a senior brother who treated him better than his own brother.But this kind of life has only lasted for three years so far, is it going to end again today because of his incompetence?

Qiu Yan once again felt deeply powerless in the short few days when he went down the mountain.He felt that his self-righteous indifference on the mountain before was like a joke, he couldn't do anything without strength, and he was no different from himself who abandoned his mentor and was forced to flee three years ago.

Back then it was because he didn't want to fight, but now it's different, he has someone he wants to protect, he must have power!

At this moment, he suddenly heard someone calling his name continuously, and the voice became more and more clear, and finally seemed to explode directly from his head.

"Chou Yan...Chou Yan...stand up, you have to protect him...Chou Yan...get up...stand up for me !"

Qiu Yan's whole body trembled, and suddenly he felt something seep out from his chest and spread to his whole body. Immediately afterwards, he felt the exhaustion all over his body was swept away, and immediately after that, a strong fluctuation of spiritual power suddenly erupted in his body.

The spiritual power was blue and turbulent, burning like a flame. Those living corpses that rushed forward were repelled by the flame in an instant, and flew a few meters away.

He was startled, but he didn't have time to think about what was going on, so he hurried down the mountain with his back on his back.

When Qiu Yan went to Cao's compound for help, Zhu Lingyu was already unconscious.The second son of the Cao family saw that he went up to the back mountain in the morning, but he didn't expect to come back in the afternoon covered in injuries. He thought that something really happened in the back mountain, which made the two immortals so embarrassed, so he hurriedly took him away. Welcoming them in, they were sent to the room to be taken care of by good students, and then they invited a doctor to treat their wounds.

Since Qiu Yan suddenly burst out with spiritual power, the resentment in his body has been cleared away by himself, so there are only some skin wounds on his body that were caught by the living corpses. After the doctor cleaned up the wounds for him and then bandaged them, he will be fine.

And Zhu Lingyu's injuries were mostly internal injuries caused by the backlash of the spirit veins, and also affected by the infection of resentment, so the doctor couldn't help.So Qiu Yan avoided the crowd, and he helped the boss of the Cao family get rid of the grievances in his body just as Zhu Lingyou did when he exorcised evil spirits for the boss of the Cao family.As for the injury caused by the backlash of the spirit vein, he can only wait for him to slowly repair it.

Zhu Lingyu fell into a coma and slept for more than two days before waking up.When he woke up, he saw Qiu Yan was reading a book with his head bent on his elbows on the table beside the bed. Whenever he made a movement, the other party immediately noticed it. After putting down the book, he came over to help him sit up, and went to the side to pour a glass of water for him. he.After he finished drinking, he took the cup and put it back on the table, sat down by the bed again, and asked, "How is senior brother feeling now?"

Zhu Lingyu moved his muscles and bones a little, and found that apart from a little sluggishness in his spiritual power, he didn't have any other ailments.He recalled the experience before falling asleep, how could he not know how he was able to come back completely, and hurriedly grabbed his wrist and said: "I have nothing wrong with you, how about you, are you not injured?"

Qiu Yan said: "I'm fine, it's just some skin trauma, it's almost healed."

Zhu Lingyu was worried, and supported his arm to look up and down, and felt his pulse to confirm that he was fine before saying: "That's good, then how did we escape?"

Qiu Yan told him in detail what happened after that.

After hearing this, Zhu Lingyu couldn't help but frowned: "You are too reckless, if you don't enter the Tao, will you die there with me?"

Qiu Yan didn't answer his question, but looked at him fixedly and said, "Anyway, I won't abandon Senior Brother."

Zhu Lingyu was blinded by these eyes, so he was discouraged, and habitually reached out to touch his head. He almost couldn't reach it when he was half lying down, so Qiu Yan leaned closer and lowered his head to touch him.

Seeing his appearance, Zhu Lingyu smiled helplessly.

"By the way, brother, why didn't I suffer backlash when I used my spiritual power to repel those living dead?" Qiu Yan asked.

Zhu Lingyu thought for a moment and said: "I think those living dead people could not bear the heavy resentment and fell into demons directly. They are no longer mortals. It seems that the results of Du Yuehua's experiment this time are not satisfactory. As a mortal It is against the heavens to carry grievances on one's body, but he still wants to use grievances to control the living, which is really detrimental to Yin. Speaking of which, what happened to those living dead? They won't escape, right?"

Qiu Yan shook his head and said, "I didn't feel relieved and went back to look at it, and found that the living dead were gone, and there was no strange incident in the city."

Zhu Lingyu was silent for a moment and said: "It seems that Du Yuehua didn't give up, and he turned back and took the living dead away. But I thought I was about to explain it to you, but I didn't expect you to enter the Tao at a critical moment , it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. Then you already have spiritual power now?"

"Well, look." After saying that, Qiu Yan stretched out his right hand and spread out his palm, and before he saw how to move his palm, a blue spiritual flame burned, but the flame fluctuated from time to time, bright and dark, showing that he was still alive. Failed to fully grasp this power.

Seeing this, the gloom on Zhu Lingyu's face immediately swept away: "Could it be that you are really a genius, you are the first one to have such a powerful spiritual power just after entering Taoism."

Qiu Yan didn't feel happy when he received such praise. Instead, he remembered the person who kept calling him in his mind when he entered Taoism. He also inexplicably thought of the dream he had on Lishan Mountain at that time, and he always felt that there might be some connection between the two. , so he hesitated for a moment before asking: "Brother, what kind of person is Qi Zuo...?"

Zhu Lingyu was taken aback for a moment: "Why are you asking this? Is it because you didn't kill Du Yuehua, do you feel guilty? Ayan, this matter has nothing to do with you in the first place. There is no need for any psychological burden."

Qiu Yan always had doubts in his heart, but he was silent for a while, and after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything, "Yeah" and then asked Zhu Lingyou's previous words: "Then what is the demon you mentioned just now?"

"People who control resentment are evil cultivators, and those who are controlled by resentment are demons. Although anyone who is deeply resentful and has no self-consciousness is called a demon, this is actually just a general term. The real demon refers to Immortals cultivate into demons."

"Immortal cultivating to become a demon?"

"Well, the experience of resentment magnifies the malice in people's hearts and attacks the most vulnerable part of people's hearts, which may cause demons. Once demons appear, monks will always be in torment in their hearts. If one day they cannot restrain themselves The inner demon will become a demon at a thought. You must know that the physical fitness of a monk is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Once he really falls into a demon, the consequences will be unimaginable, and he will definitely not be as easy to deal with as those living corpses before."

"Then has there ever been a fairy cultivating to become a demon before?"

"As far as I know, there is not. It is not so easy for general resentment to cross the hurdle of one's own spiritual power to invade the heart of a monk. Moreover, even if it invades the heart, monks who can enter the Tao are usually firm in heart, and it is not so easy to let go. Create demons."

Qiu Yan nodded thoughtfully.

Afterwards, the two rested at Cao's house for a few days, and when Zhu Lingyu's spirit veins were almost healed, they went to several wells in the east and south of the city to do water purification formations, and observed for a few days to confirm that the people in the city were indeed It's all right now, so I bid farewell to everyone in the Cao family.

Everyone in the Cao family thanked them all the way to the gate. Many people in the city heard about the two immortals and came to thank them. They immediately surrounded the gate of the Cao family.

"I'm really thankful to the two immortals for this. If it weren't for you, we ordinary people wouldn't know what to do!" An old woman said, her son drank Zhu Lingyu's blood in the medical center that day. Come on.

Mrs. Cao immediately continued: "Yes. I didn't really believe it when the person told me that there was an immortal on Xuanqing Mountain who could heal my husband, but the dead horse sent a letter as a living horse doctor. I didn't expect that we would welcome two living gods to Quyang City."

Both of them were taken aback when they heard that.

The Xuanqing Mountain Sect has indeed been protecting the common people from evil spirits, but as a sect of cultivating immortals, the disciples of the sect have always kept a low profile. Except for a few towns at the foot of Xuanqing Mountain, few people in other places know that there is indeed such a sect on Xuanqing Mountain .Moreover, the Xuanqing Mountain Sect usually senses a surge of resentment somewhere on the astrolabe in the mountain, and sends people down the mountain to get rid of the evil spirits. The number of times this kind of people really go down the mountain after receiving a letter for help is very small.

Therefore, they have been puzzled ever since they received the distress letter, how could someone write to Xuanqing Mountain from such a far away to ask for help, and how did the person who wrote the letter know that someone on Xuanqing Mountain could save their lives.Now that Mrs. Cao said this, I naturally became suspicious.

Zhu Lingyu immediately asked Mrs. Cao: "Who did you say told you that the Xuanqing Mountain Sect can save people?"

Mrs. Cao stammered when she saw him suddenly asking herself such a serious question: "Eh? Ah, I, I don't know. My husband suddenly fell ill that day, and I was in a hurry to find the doctor. I just ran out Then I ran into a Taoist fortune teller who stopped me and said he knew who could save my husband."

Qiu Yan then asked: "What does that person look like?"

Mrs. Cao thought about it for a while, and said: "The man was dressed in black, and he called himself a Taoist priest, but he didn't look like a Taoist priest at all. I don't believe he didn't care what he looked like for a while, but the man is very tall. High, more than eight feet."

The two looked at each other, nodded tacitly, bid farewell to everyone and walked towards the mass grave in the back mountain.

So far, the cause and effect of this incident have become very clear.

Ever since Du Yuehua was expelled from the Xuanqing Mountain Sect, he had been holding grudges in his heart, and wanted to wait for an opportunity to take revenge on everyone in the Xuanqing Mountain Sect, so he had been devoting himself to studying spells, trying to control the resentment and let the resentment attach to people for a short time. Limit weaknesses to counter them.

If Du Yuehua wanted to control his resentment, he would naturally look for places where the resentment arose.In the first time in Lishan, it is very likely that he wanted to use the resentment of the flood in Weizhou to experiment, and he didn't want to be discovered by Qi Yu who was passing by. This was his first attempt.

But resentment is too aggressive after all, and it will inevitably have an impact on the human body if it sticks to the human body for a long time.If things go on like this, if one day I can't control it, resentment will enter the body and become a complete evil cultivator.

When Zhu Lingxuan fought against Du Yuehua for the first time, he found that there was still a trace of resentment in his body. It was very likely that he had begun to lose control and was slowly becoming an evil cultivator.

And once he becomes an evil cultivator, not only will he have no advantage against the people in the upper immortal sect, but he may even be hunted down by the major immortal sect families.Therefore, he has been lurking in the dark since then, and began to think about how to use resentment to control the living, and let these living dead who are full of resentment become his weapons.

It wasn't until three years later that he finally made progress.So he deliberately released the boss of the Cao family as a bait, and told them the existence of the Xuanqing Mountain Sect, and asked the Cao family to write letters for help, leading them down the mountain to come here.

It's just that he didn't expect that Zhu Lingyu and Chou Yan, who hadn't entered the Tao, would come this time, and his "results" this time were not satisfactory. The living dead were forced to become completely dead by resentment within a short time. .It's also fortunate that these two people came this time. If it were another disciple, it would very likely fall into his hands.

But no matter what, Du Yuehua's purpose is very clear, that is to take revenge on the disciples of the Xuanqing Mountain Sect, and arresting the common people in the city is also for his experiment, there is absolutely no need for him to attack other people in the city.

Therefore, the people in the south and west of the city were not infected with resentment by Du Yuehua on purpose, but because Du Yuehua destroyed the amulet of the Mass Burial Mound in the Back Mountain, causing the mass burial mound's resentment to start raging again.

The doctor of Jimin Medical Center said before that the patients appeared after the rain, so in fact, the rain came down from Meishan Mountain, was polluted by resentment after passing through the mass graves, then infiltrated into the underground river, and entered through the well water. It is only in the mouths of people that so many people infected with resentment suddenly appear.

While exchanging their speculations and reasoning about this matter, the two arrived at the mass grave in the back mountain.

"I didn't expect this tattered talisman to be useful. It seems that there are some folk Taoists with real skills." Zhu Lingyu said.

The two worked together to set up the formation again.

"Just thinking about it this way, senior brother probably died for me at the time." Zhu Lingyou said with emotion, "If I had reached Weizhou first, I would have been the one who met Du Yuehua and was shot off the cliff by his palm."

Zhu Lingyu stood in the morning light, watching the summer sun slowly rise through the branches and leaves in the forest, his eyes were a little bit astringent by the morning light.

Standing beside him, Qiu Yan felt the silence of the forest at the beginning of the morning together, recalled the voice that appeared in his mind that day, and said after a long time: "If senior brother Qi Zuo knew the ending like this, he would have chosen to protect you as well. Bar."

Zhu Lingyu's heart was shaken. After three years, after three years of hard work, he finally couldn't help the red eyes.

"Ah."

Yeah, he's always been that way.
