Chapter 4 Demonic Qi
After Jiuhua's entry competition ended, the elders of each hall took in a few apprentices, except Dong Yan.
He sat silently in the upper seat, finished the competition, and left without saying a word.
"Master has not found a suitable student." Qi Feng glanced at his back, turned around and said to Jiang Shuo, "Master, let's go back too."
Jiang Shuo frowned, looking puzzled.
If Dong Yan was not the disciple accepted this time, when was that disciple accepted?
Jiang Shuo felt a headache. If only he could have read the original novel of "Royal World", at least he didn't have to guess the plot here.
"Let's go back first." Jiang Shuo temporarily gave up thinking about this matter, remembering that there is still something to do tomorrow: "It's very late now."
After a few days of observation and insinuation, Jiang Shuo understood that although his cultivation level is not very good now, he is not an idler in the sect.
As Dong Yan's Taoist partner, he needs to represent Dong Yan in some occasions that he is too lazy to go to. Even if he doesn't do anything, he can stand there to support the situation.
"Tomorrow, I will go to the lower realm to purify demons. Yu Pu and I will go with my wife." Qi Feng seemed to be vaguely aware of Jiang Shuo's worry, and smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, the people in the lower realm like you very much."
Helping the unarmed common people in the lower world to eliminate demons is something that all sects in the cultivation world will do. Jiuhua also has a monthly routine task, which Qifeng and other disciples are already very familiar with.
"Since Yin Sui was expelled," Qi Feng Yujian brought Jiang Shuo back to the small courtyard of Qutai, and said, "the number of demons rampant in the lower realm has decreased a lot. This time we only received a few simple tasks, Mrs. Just follow us and have a look."
Three quarters of ugly time, the lower realm.
Yin Sui coughed out a mouthful of blood, staggered to the door of a house, and knocked hard twice.
The wound on the shoulder was still bleeding, and the broken clothes were sticking to the flesh, and it was painful to pull even a little movement, Yin Sui took two low breaths, and the brows were full of hostility.
This broken body has such a poor ability to endure pain.
"Who? It's in the middle of the night." The lights in the room were turned on, and someone fumbled out of the yard, rubbing his eyes while cautiously opening half of the door: "You... hey!"
He was startled by Yin Sui, who was covered in blood, and subconsciously raised his hand to close the door.
"Uncle," Yin Sui stretched out his hand, propped half of the door, squeezed out a smile, and said in a gentle tone, "I was robbed and injured by thieves, can I stay with you..."
"Get out, get out!" The man didn't want to listen to him at all, and hurried to push the door, but found that it couldn't be closed—the hand that Yin Sui was holding was too strong.
"Please, please, I have children at home." Seeing that the door could not be closed, the middle-aged man with an ordinary face changed his expression and begged, "You... look like this, you will scare the children if you go in. Can you find someone to make room for you?"
Yin Sui was still smiling, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "I won't go into the house, you bring me some water, and I'll rest in your courtyard and leave at dawn."
The man still didn't want him to go in: "If you don't enter the house, there will be a bloody smell. If the official is not here—"
His words suddenly disappeared in his throat, Yin Sui grabbed his neck with one hand, tightened it tightly, and asked with a smile: "Are you going to stop me?"
The middle-aged man made a ho-ho sound from his throat, and he started to roll his eyes. Yin Sui easily pinched the man who was a head and a half taller than him, stepped into the yard, and did not forget to close the door with his backhand.
Then he casually threw the man by the well in the yard, and the middle-aged man fell to the ground on his back, his neck was covered in bruises, he coughed a few times vigorously, and passed out after rolling his eyes.
"Erhei's father, who is that outside?"
Yin Sui heard movement in the room again, frowned impatiently, and simply squeezed a sleeping formula, and the people inside fell to the ground with a plop and did not move.
People in the lower realms are like this, they are so fragile that they can't even arouse Yin Sui's desire to kill.
He walked into the yard calmly, first went into the house and found a set of clothes that barely fit, then went to the well to fetch water to wash the blood stains on his body, and put on new clothes.
Afterwards, Yin Sui picked up the two children who were sleeping soundly, threw them all at the foot of the bed, sat on the bed and began to apply the medicine.
Yin Sui kept the medicine with him all the time, in a small celadon bottle warmed by tentacles. Yin Sui looked at the medicine bottle over and over for a while, and couldn't help but think of the first time he saw Jiang Shuo, he ordered someone to send him this wound. drug scene.
It's a pity that Jiuhua's disciple can't be done.Yin Suibai thought boredly, it's better to find a place to practice in seclusion, kill Jiuhua, that dog thief named Dongyan, and then snatch Jiang Shuo here.
As for what to do after grabbing it, Yin Sui hasn't figured it out yet.
In his previous life, he had seen other demon cultivators humiliate good-looking male monks or female monks, and he looked down upon those low-level methods.
To be honest, Yin Sui is not interested in bullying men and women, bullying and teasing. He only desires endless power, but there are always so-called righteous people who see him as an eyesore and want to come from thousands of miles away. Kill him.
When Jiang Shuo was snatched back... Yin Sui suddenly thought that he could teach him to kill.
Jiang Shuo looked like someone who couldn't lift a sword, weak and gentle, if his temper was too soft, he would definitely be bullied.Jiang Shuo will be happy when Yin Sui teaches him how to kill.
Yin Sui also became happy, and hummed a little tune to prescribe medicine to himself. He held the small medicine bottle in his hand and carefully poured out some powder, not wanting to waste any of it.
The medicine is Jiuhua's best medicine, and Yin Sui's injury stopped bleeding quickly, he wrapped his shoulders indiscriminately, and didn't want to stay here any longer, so he went out before dawn, turning briskly, Squeeze into the bustling crowds of the morning market.
"A commoner said that an evil spirit broke into his house last night, strangled him unconscious, ransacked the house and escaped."
Jiang Shuo sat on the main seat, rubbing his temples with a slight headache, while listening to Qi Feng's report on the situation in Guatou Town.
"Is there any gain after inspection?" Jiang Shuo asked.
Qi Feng shook his head: "There is no remaining evil spirit, evil spirit, or ghost spirit in that room, but there are quite a lot of mottled blood. It is guessed that thieves entered the house to rob."
"This should be reported to the county government." Jiang Shuo was thinking about his thoughts last night, and he didn't sleep well. Now he is very sleepy and has to brace himself. "What valuables are missing? Send a disciple to take them to report to the official." .”
Qifeng was silent for a while, with a strange expression: "I lost a set of clean men's clothes, and the rest are fine."
Jiang Shuo: "..."
Yu Pu next to him couldn't help it anymore, and said, "Brother, let's discuss something we can do."
Qifeng coughed and felt that she was making a big fuss, so she put the family's report aside and picked up another page.
"After investigation, there are still three unprocessed tasks."
"One is Li Butcher's house in the east. Recently, the livestock kept in captivity always died violently in the middle of the night. When Butcher Li went to watch the night, he saw the big pigs and piglets crashing into the wall at the same time, as if there were ghosts."
"Secondly, the family surnamed Zhang in the south. The daughter-in-law who had been with him for half a year died just last month. Recently, Uncle Zhang has frequent nightmares, and he has become abnormal. He said that the daughter-in-law wanted to ask him for her life."
"The last thing," Qifeng paused for a moment, her tone sank, "it's a bit tricky. On the north side of Guatou Mountain near Guatou Town, there is a mass grave. During the plague a few years ago, the dead were thrown away. On the other side, there are some dead people whose origins are unknown, and they were all sent there together."
"According to the disciples of Jiuhua who went to investigate, there seemed to be many low-intelligence demons wandering around in the mass grave, as if they were looking for something. Several households on Guatou Mountain were eroded by the demonic energy, and they all suffered from strange diseases one after another. The disease must be dealt with as soon as possible."
Jiang Shuo really didn't expect that, as the number one sect in the cultivation world, he had to help the people in the lower realms catch pigs and dogs.
The piglets in Butcher Li's house were very lively, but the smell was too indescribable. Jiang Shuo stood outside the pigsty and listened to Butcher Li's story about how the pigs went crazy in the middle of the night.
Yu Pu concentrated on using the talisman to explore the pigsty. Qifeng on the other side was the first to notice Jiang Shuo's strangeness. He took a few steps closer and asked softly, "Is your wife unwell?"
Jiang Shuo lowered his eyes and said nothing, Qi Feng's eyes were sharp, and he saw the teardrops on the slender eyelashes—Jiang Shuo was a little nauseous, and the tears were forced out.
Before transmigrating into the book, Jiang Shuo had always been a character who could endure hardships. He used to spend days and nights squatting in the ruins excavation site to complete the restoration work, but he liked to be clean, and he still couldn't stand the smell of the pigsty.
Qifeng stared at the tears for a while, seeing that Jiang Shuo was really uncomfortable, so she thought about it, pinched a protective cover to keep the dirty air out, and opened her own sachet for Jiang Shuo to wear around her waist .
"If Master is uncomfortable," he said in a gentle voice, "you can go back to the inn to rest early, as long as we are here."
Jiang Shuo shook his head.
"Since we've come, there's no reason to leave at will." Jiang Shuo took a few breaths, feeling much better, and said, "Let's see if you find anything."
Yup did find something in the pigsty.
On the talisman paper there are traces of demonic aura, but it is relatively weak, presumably it should be a little demon that has not yet fully formed.
After retreating from the others, Qi Feng set up a simple magic circle in the pigsty, and easily caught the little pig demon mixed in with a group of pigs.
When Butcher Li came to see it, he was surprised and angry: "This piglet has been raised by my family for several years. No matter how much I eat it, it will not grow up. I also keep it because it is spiritual. If I knew it was a ghost, it would be better to kill it." Save trouble!"
Jiang Shuo ordered people to wrap up the little pig demon with a net, and was going to take him back to Jiuhua to teach him a lesson.The group comforted Butcher Li for a while, and then went to Zhang's family where his daughter-in-law had just died.
Practitioners can basically notice Uncle Zhang's strange disease. Jiang Shuo stopped Qi Feng who was about to make the formula, and said in a low voice, "Let me try."
Qifeng looked a little surprised, but stopped.
Jiang Shuo recalled Yu Pu's previous method of detecting evil spirits in a small area of Li Tuhu's house, tentatively concentrating on a trick.
He has an excellent memory, and he has memorized the formula twice a few days before departure, and adjusted the method of casting the spell according to Yu Pu's behavior. Soon, the light red light lit up, Jiang Shuo put down his hand, and saw the ghost at a glance. The most intense place.
It was the bed that Uncle Zhang was lying on.
The fellow Jiuhua disciples all had strange expressions on their faces.
I have heard the description of the people in Zhang's mansion before, and I preliminarily judged that Uncle Zhang's daughter-in-law should have turned into a grieving ghost and lingered in the mansion, which caused so many abnormalities.
But the place with the strongest ghost aura must be the place the ghost loved or hated the most, but no matter which one it is, it looks a little...
Ordinary people can't see the magic circle and ghost energy, so the butler of Zhang's mansion asked anxiously: "The immortals of Jiuhua, what's the matter?"
Jiang Shuo glanced at the haggard and tired Uncle Zhang on the bed, and said, "There are grieving ghosts in your house."
The manager was startled, and hurriedly said: "Then please hurry up and cast a spell to expel the ghost, our master is almost haunted to death by this ghost, what a crime..."
Jiang Shuo frowned, did not answer his words, but asked, "How did Mrs. Liu die?"
Mrs. Liu was the new daughter-in-law of this mansion who passed away half a month ago. Jiang Shuo looked through the official records and said that she died of a sudden illness.
But the housekeeper of the Zhang family obviously hesitated, and he hesitated: "Just... contracted the wind and cold, and died after a few days, that woman's constitution is too weak..."
Jiang Shuo asked again, "Where is Mr. Zhang married by Mrs. Liu?"
The housekeeper dodged his eyes and said, "Don't ask the immortals... The eldest son of our mansion is naturally dull. Even if he is lucky enough to meet a few immortals, he doesn't know anything..."
At this moment, even the stubborn Yu Pu reacted and clenched his fists.
The Zhang family, with a large family business, married a beautiful new daughter-in-law to the mentally handicapped eldest son, but the new daughter-in-law died of a sudden illness half a month later. To follow Uncle Zhang, he was in a trance, his face was yellow and emaciated.
Liu's death has something to do with Uncle Zhang.
The butler was still begging them to cast spells to expel ghosts, but Jiang Shuo remained silent.
There was a bit of disgust in Qifeng's eyes, and the disciples were a little too angry to speak out. Yu Pu clenched his fists and was about to step forward to question him when Jiang Shuo stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Master..." He subconsciously looked at Jiang Shuo.
Jiang Shuo said calmly: "We can drive away ghosts. Pray for a phoenix and set up an array."
The housekeeper knelt down and kowtowed a few times in gratitude, and said repeatedly: "The gods and Bodhisattvas have a heart, we will never forget your great kindness..."
Although Qi Feng didn't understand what he meant, he always listened to Jiang Shuo's words.
It is very simple to exorcise a grieving ghost without any mana. After Jiang Shuo confirmed that there is no ghost energy left in the Zhang mansion, he led a few disciples out of the gate of the Zhang mansion.
As soon as he went out, Yu Pu said angrily: "Master, he obviously...why did you—"
"Exorcising ghosts is something that every sect must do," Jiang Shuo interrupted him lightly, with a soft voice, "Although the grieving ghost has no magic power, there is no guarantee that she will not become a ghost after stalking Uncle Zhang to death. harm one side."
Yu Pu was very unwilling: "But we just let that mansion go?"
At this moment, Qifeng suddenly asked: "Master, where are you going?"
"Government." Jiang Shuo said calmly, "Go and meet the magistrate of this place."
Jiuhua can make up his mind about exorcising ghosts, but when it comes to coercion, rape and murder, he can ask the government to come forward.Although the Zhang family has some money, it is not a big boss in the local area. If Jiuhua puts pressure on it, he believes that the government will soon find out the truth and give the Liu family justice.
"By the way, please ask the master of the temple to reassure Liu's soul." Jiang Shuo thought of something again, and said, "She turned into a grieving ghost, and now she has been dispelled. It may be difficult to re-enter reincarnation, so I have to ask someone to lead the way."
Yu Pu agreed and sent someone to arrange this matter.
Qi Feng stared at Jiang Shuo for a moment, until Jiang Shuo raised his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qifeng said in a low voice: "Master seems to have changed a lot."
Jiang Shuo was quiet for a moment, then said calmly, "Has it become bad?"
Qifeng shook his head, then laughed: "No, this disciple prefers the current teacher's wife."
The last thing to be solved is the mass grave on the north side of Guatou Mountain.
The road was a little rough, Jiuhua and his party simply hid their figures, and used the magic of shrinking the ground to an inch to go directly to the edge of the mass grave.
Jiang Shuo raised his eyes and saw that this mass grave had been abandoned for several years. The corpses thrown into it during the plague had all been turned into mud. When he looked over, he could only see overgrown weeds and withered bones looming among them. .
And the all-pervasive cold and devilish energy that can be felt without trying to form a circle.
Yu Pu frowned: "This demonic energy seems to be more serious than what was reported before."
The group of people did not talk nonsense, and immediately dispersed, with Qifeng as the center, set up a large formation, covering the entire range of five miles.
Jiang Shuo watched their movements, silently memorizing the steps, while distractedly scanning the monsters gradually revealing themselves under the magic circle.
Monster is a general term, and it is mostly used to describe souls that have not yet completed cultivation in human form. Monsters usually do not have spells, but they have primitive aggression. If they smell delicious prey, they will pounce on it and will stare at it. torn and chewed food.
- like now.
Qi Feng was the first to notice something strange. He got close to Jiang Shuo and immediately said, "Master, you step back...they seem to be chasing something."
Covered by the faint light of the magic circle, the monsters revealed their blurry black figures, and when they flitted past in the air, there would even be a gust of wind, blowing the broken hair on Jiang Shuo's temples, and hanging down his cheeks, slender Itchy.
Groups of black air wandered at an extremely fast speed, and after a while, they seemed to find the exact direction, gathered together and swept towards the northwest corner.
Yu Pu's face changed: "Let's go there quickly! Maybe the people strayed into this place..."
The speed of the monster's predation was too fast. Jiang Shuo and the others were a little slower. When they arrived at the place, they found that the ominous black energy was entrenched next to a boy in coarse clothes, greedily sucking the essence from his body. There is even a few wisps of devilish energy trying to penetrate into his dantian.
——Yin Sui simply wanted to strangle these unintelligent monsters to death.
He followed Jiang Shuo and others all the way to this place. He wanted to find a place to sit for a while, but he was stuck with dirt.
Yin Sui naturally knew why these monsters came.
From the day he was reborn, there has been an indelible trace of demon energy in this mass grave.
Those unformed monsters came following the smell, trying to find the root cause, slaughter and annex Yin Sui, so that they could strengthen their own strength, and if they were lucky, they could also cultivate for decades to transform into a human form, reaching the sky in one step.
They searched for a long time but couldn't find them, but Yin Sui delivered them to the door today.
If it was in the previous life, this kind of monster Yin Sui would not pay attention to it at all, it is to the extent that a few of them can be crushed to death by stretching out their legs.
But now this body looks too weak. Weakness is a big taboo in front of monsters. They don't have the intention to treat their own kind, and only have the appetite to bite the prey in front of them clean.
Impatiently, Yin Sui waved away a few of them, noticing that there was a fool inside, and dared to drill into his spirit core.
Yin Sui sneered, and simply let go, allowing those monsters to penetrate into his spiritual core, and in the blink of an eye, the cloud of black energy disappeared completely.
After moving his fingers, Yin Sui felt a little disgusted by the buffs these dirty things brought him.
Not only was it annoying, but there was almost no change after swallowing it. Yin Sui was so irritable that he was about to stand up and change places when he suddenly heard footsteps not far away.
"Master, we'll be there soon." He heard the voice of the Jiuhua disciple named Yu Pu.
Yin Sui thought for a short time before lying on the ground on his side.
When Jiang Shuo arrived, he saw the boy curled up in pain, as if he was trying to protect his dantian, but a fierce monster was entwined around him, but a moment later, the boy turned pale and spit out a mouthful of blood.
The accompanying Jiuhua disciples set up magic circles one after another, and it took a little effort to isolate the group of demonic energy.
Qi Feng led people to put those monsters into the magic weapon, while Jiang Shuo stood there for a while, and walked a few steps closer to the boy.
"Why is it you?" Yu Pu followed Jiang Shuo and looked at Yin Sui's face, very surprised.
Jiang Shuo was also a little surprised.
There was no trace of blood on Yin Sui's face, and the wound on his shoulder burst open again, staining a large area of his clothes red.
Jiang Shuo wanted to check on his situation, but was stopped by Yu Pu, and said in a serious tone: "Master, this person's whereabouts are a mystery, it's better to be careful."
Jiang Shuo thought it made sense, so he stood still and asked Yin Sui, "Why did you appear here?"
Yin Sui fell on the edge of the overgrown pit with mud all over his body. He stared at Jiang Shuo for a while and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm following you."
Yu Pu's expression became more vigilant.
"Why do monsters haunt you?" Yu Pu glared at him, "You have so much devilish energy?"
There are generally only two possibilities for being entangled by monsters. One is because like attracts like, monsters will spontaneously look for weaker ones of the same kind, and after annexation, they can strengthen their own strength;
And Yin Sui...
Yu Pu thought of Dong Yan's comment, and he was not sure.
The boy took up both possibilities.
"I really want to worship Jiuhua." Yin Sui supported his body, looked at Jiang Shuo with those black and white eyes, and said in a weak voice, "The devilish energy on the spiritual core...I will find a way to get rid of it. "
Jiang Shuo frowned, thinking of a possibility: "Is it because your spiritual core was corroded by monsters that it became infected with demon energy?"
If it is because of practicing forbidden techniques, it will at least show some external characteristics, such as the spells used, changes in the spiritual core, and so on.
But Jiang Shuo recalled the situation on the day of Dabi, and he couldn't find any traces of the young man's cultivation.Even Dong Yan can only be sure that the young man has been contaminated with demonic energy only after the Mo Lingshi has passed the test.
That demonic energy seemed to be produced from within out of thin air.
When Yin Sui heard Jiang Shuo's question, he didn't answer immediately.
He was silent for a long time, slowly raised his hand to wipe away the sporadic blood on the corner of his lips, and said with a pale face, "It's my poor cultivation that allows the monster to take advantage of it."
This is an admission.
After Qifeng brought people to subdue the monster, he also returned to Jiang Shuo. He looked at Yin Sui's appearance, and said to Jiang Shuo: "Master, we can go back. Master has already sent a message that this person will not be allowed to enter Jiuzhou." Hua's mountain gate."
Yin Sui half-prostrated on the ground, upon hearing this, a trace of murderous intent flashed uncontrollably in his black eyes.
This thing called Qifeng...
But Jiang Shuo suddenly asked: "You don't have a sect, what about your family?"
Yin Sui closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "...all dead."
Jiang Shuo looked at him silently.
Born with pure spiritual roots, no father, no mother, no sect, miserable life experience, firm and pure heart, and wholeheartedly want to worship Jiuhua.This should obviously be...
Qi Feng: "Master?"
"Take him back and deal with it later." Jiang Shuo opened his mouth and made a decision: "The pure fire root will attract monsters to entangle him. If there is no shelter, he will die soon."
"As for Dongyan, I will explain myself." Jiang Shuo said.
Yin Sui looked excited and moved, a slight blush appeared on the young man's pale cheeks, he couldn't help but look at Jiang Shuo and smiled, and was about to stick to him cautiously.
"Master... respect." He called softly.
"I'm not your master," Jiang Shuo said coldly, "I'm just taking you back to Jiuhua for a while. As for what happens next, I need to ask Dong Yan what he means."
This young man is like the only one in "Yu Tian Xia" who did not die at the hands of Yin Sui, the last disciple Dong Yan accepted, and the only one who broke the situation five years later.
But further confirmation is needed, Jiang Shuo thought.
He is not a reckless person, and the development of the plot in the original book is vague and confusing. It is impossible to easily identify this young man as that disciple.
Jiang Shuo remembered something again, he asked Yin Sui: "What's your name?"
A group of people have already packed their things and are preparing to go back to Jiuhua with Yujian.
Yin Sui heard him speak, took a few steps closer, stared at Jiang Shuo, his jet-black eyes were as clear as a pool of spring water, filled with a very soft light, he blinked and said, "En."
Jiang Shuo: "Huh?"
Yin Sui opened his mouth and said, "My name is—"
As soon as the words came out, Jiang Shuo suddenly saw a figure fall in front of him. Before everyone had time to react, Yin Sui turned pale and fell right into Jiang Shuo's arms.
The moment before the false dizziness turned into real dizziness, Yin Sui thought,
……bumped into.
Jiang Shuo didn't push him away.
The author has something to say:
After studying the character description carefully, I suddenly felt that Yin Zai...may be considered a little mad dog attack at present.
