I feed the worms with my body, I am the evil demon

After coming back to his senses, Xu Ziqi found Gu Xiu sitting cross-legged, eyes full of red bloodshot eyes staring at him.

Just like the expression on the boy's face when he dragged his scarred body into the cave.

Xu Ziqi, whose soul was almost collapsed at that time, saw Gu Xiu ecstatic, and he tested his spiritual root.

The three spiritual roots are wood, fire and earth.

It is much stronger than his own spiritual root. Even among those large sects, it is still a medium-level talent.

This made Xu Ziqi go crazy. He wanted to take care of Xiu, but he couldn't bear it. Although he was a casual cultivator, he had an innocent heart since the beginning of his cultivation.

He absolutely cannot do such a demonic practice.

But when he thought of his son's tragic death, how unfair the world was, and how he ended up like this, endless hatred swallowed up his conscience, and it was the only time in his life that he had such evil thoughts.

Just when Xu Ziqi was about to forcefully use the body seizing technique that he had accidentally obtained. Only then did he realize that the boy was full of evil energy, and his spiritual roots were manifested, with strange evil insects clinging to them. He couldn't see the roots, but his spiritual consciousness sent extremely dangerous and evil signals.

As a result, Xu Ziqi, whose soul was already unstable, gave up the idea of ​​seizing the body. He was too seriously injured and in order to keep his soul alive, he was willing to use the corpse as a restraint to become an earthbound spirit. He also accepted Gu Xiu as his disciple and explained it to him. In the world of cultivating immortals, I give them all my money.

Just so that one day when Gu Xiudao succeeds, he can help him kill the dog emperor of Anguo.

Gu Xiu was extremely intelligent, and it only took him a few months to master the magic techniques that Xu Ziqi needed several years to master.

It took Xu Ziqi seventy or eighty years to refine Qi to build the foundation, but Gu Xiu only took one year to reach the fifth level of Qi refining.

But for some unknown reason, after reaching the fifth level of Qi Refining, Gu Xiu's cultivation declined instead of advancing. Only later did he discover that it was the evil insect that was causing trouble.

In order to prevent the evil insects from devouring his spiritual energy, Gu Xiu tried several methods. Eventually, he found something that could replace the aura.

That is - blood food.

And human blood is the best.

Gu Xiu ignored Xu Ziqi's dissuasion and started trying to kill someone for the first time. The man was a drunkard who often bullied him in the town.

After being lured up the mountain and into the cave by Gu Xiu, Xu Ziqi witnessed him cutting off the drunkard's head piece by piece.

It was frighteningly calm. Gu Xiu, who was killing someone for the first time, had no fluctuation in his expression. He seemed to be a born killer.

From then on, whenever evil insects wanted to suck up cultivation, Gu Xiu would kill people.

But his cultivation has always remained at the second level, with no improvement at all.

Now, the aura on Gu Xiu's body was obviously at the third level of Qi Refining.

He had clearly massacred the entire town. Xu Ziqi couldn't calm down for a long time, thinking that Gu Xiu still had a trace of conscience left.

Looking at it now, he has completely lost his humanity and become a true evil cultivator.

"Master, what are you thinking about?" Gu Xiu tilted his head and grinned.

Xu Ziqi's soul trembled slightly. Gu Xiu's eyes were so evil that just meeting their eyes made his soul feel cold.

"My child, outside is the world of the Righteous Alliance. Once they discover you, you will be doomed to death. You will not be able to look back after taking this step." Xu Ziqi was heartbroken. He really didn't want to see Gu Xiu become a person who only knows killing. The devil.

"Disciple! You will lose yourself."

"Hehe, cultivating immortals is inherently trembling, like facing an abyss or walking on thin ice. Isn't this what you taught me, master?" Gu Xiu grabbed the ankles of the cross-legged person with both hands and swayed like a child.

"Whether it's the right path or the evil one, isn't it all about achieving the goal? As for the process, is it important? It's not important hehe! As long as I can improve my cultivation, I will never look back on this path, and I will die without regrets."

Seeing that Xu Ziqi was speechless, Gu Xiu laughed happily. He shook his head and his eyes were full of longing.

"On the day when my master took me to experience the splendor of the world of immortality, I secretly swore that I would become an immortal. I would be respected by millions of people; I would live forever, have magical power reaching the sky, and build mountains with spiritual stones. I would like this. All living beings in the world come to worship me.

"For this reason, I won't hesitate even if my body is shattered into pieces and my soul falls into the Nine Netherworld forever, unable to be reincarnated!!

"My way is the immortal way!"

Gu Xiu's eyes were firm and he spoke louder and crazier.

Xu Ziqi was speechless and could only sigh helplessly.

"Crazy, crazy, forget it. You have your own way. I won't say anything more as a teacher. You can't stay for a long time and run away for your life."

Hearing this, Gu Xiu put away his smile and looked solemn. He stood up and came to Xu Ziqi's soul. He knelt on his knees and pressed his head heavily against the stone ground.

Xu Ziqi's soul body was sitting cross-legged, nodding slightly, and there seemed to be a smile on his face that could not be seen clearly.

"Master, I have nothing to ask for. I just ask you to look for my wife and daughter after you go out. I sent them away hastily. I was still worried about them. Please arrange them for me. As for Emperor Anguo, I will wait until you have achieved enlightenment." I don’t want you to take any chances as a teacher.”

Gu Xiu fell to the ground and said in a hoarse voice, "Master, don't worry, my apprentice will definitely find his wife and younger sister. As for Emperor Anguo, one day my apprentice will personally take off his head."

"Okay, okay, now I feel relieved as a teacher."

"You must remember that you must not expose your spiritual roots during this trip. Once the evil insects on your spiritual roots are exposed, all the righteous monks will not be able to tolerate you, and even the demonic cultivators will not be able to tolerate you."

Gu Xiu raised his head and nodded slightly.

"In addition, you must practice the Qi Condensation Technique diligently, and you must not kill anyone again in the near future. Your evil spirit is too strong now, and even a monk can know your origin without using the Heavenly Eye Technique.

"You should always recite the Calming Mantra to eliminate the evil spirits in your body. I have almost used up all the spiritual stones that are my escape magic weapon. Apart from the low-level magic sword and a few pieces of spiritual stones, only the low-level earth magic circle is the most valuable.

"After you find your wife, you can ask her for the storage bag. Half of my belongings over the years are there. Talk less and watch more when you go out, and don't cause trouble easily. The rest is up to you."

Xu Ziqi's words were serious and sincere. After all, he personally brought this child to the path of cultivating immortality. He was really worried and warned him again and again.

Gu Xiu nodded again and kowtowed three times.

"Please remember this, disciple, does the master still have any teachings?"

Xu Ziqi smiled and shook his head. The next moment, his soul trembled and the smile on his face froze. It was difficult to express all his emotions and could only turn into a helpless sigh.

"Disciple, do you want to eat even as a master?"

At some point, Gu Xiu stood up, his long hair disheveled, and black insect patterns appeared on his naked upper body. The skinny body became much stronger, the muscles were bunched up, the insect patterns all over the body shone with black and red light, and the palm-sized insect wheels on the abdomen began to disperse.

Red gas continued to spray out of his mouth and nose. Gu Xiu's face was filled with tears, but he smiled brightly. Grabbing Xu Ziqi's soul with one hand, dense insects swam from his abdomen to his right arm.

"Swallow the soul! Do you really want to become an immortal by eating it?" Xu Ziqi's voice trembled. He didn't know what consequences he would have for the world of immortality by teaching such a guy.

"Forget it, I won't care about the flood after I die. Remember your promise."

Xu Ziqi's soul was swallowed up by the insects gathered in Gu Xiu's palm.

The black hair danced wildly, and wisps of red light danced between Gu Xiu's pores. Suddenly, the noisy and shrill chirping of cicadas filled his soul, Gu Xiu's face twisted, and fragments of memories kept flashing through his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Ah!!!! Master!!!"

Gu Xiu was half-kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down his face, clenching his fists and beating the ground frantically.

There is no one good to him in this world, no more!

Those were Xu Ziqi's memory fragments, which emerged one after another in Gu Xiu's sea of ​​consciousness.

The immature shepherd boy reading a book sitting on the back of an ox, the cautious young man who was rejected by the Immortal Sect, the ignorant young man who met his master for the first time, the cheerful young man who succeeded in refining his Qi, the haggard middle-aged man whose heart is as gray as dead, the old man who is full of old age, and the old man who is full of anger.

The scenes were like dots of candlelight swaying in the wind and rain, extinguished in an instant.

After a long time, Gu Xiu raised his bruised hands, he smiled, and the magic power in his body began to circulate.

After driving the bug back to its original position, Gu Xiu stood up and made the seal, a ball of blazing flames blazing in his hand.

"Master, don't worry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, with a flick of his finger, the flames burned the corpse and the haystack together.

The blazing flames were so hot that the corpses and haystacks turned into ashes in just a few breaths.

Gu Xiu took out a large black robe from his storage bag and put it on his body. A burst of energy burst out from his sleeves, and the energy carried the ashes and flew out of the cave and scattered them all over the sky.

Boom! !

The thunder snake as thick as the mouth of a bowl shines in the dark night, and the radiant power of heaven shocks all things.

Shrouded in thick black clouds, it rained heavily.

Gu Xiu walked out of the cave and raised his head, letting the big raindrops hit his face. He closed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"What a timely rain.

"Master, let's go!"

…

A heavy rain continued all night.

After the heavy rain, the sky was clear, and a ray of blue light passed through like a shooting star, dividing the surging white clouds in two.

Qingguang, who had already escaped, suddenly turned around and looked back for some unknown reason. When he hovered over Yanlai Town, Qingguang visibly paused.

Then it fell straight down.

In the center of Li's ancestral hall, the blue light dissipated instantly after falling to the ground, revealing a cold young man wearing blue and white attire.

The young man tilted his head slightly, his ponytail flying, and a green long sword fell steadily into the scabbard behind his back.

He looked around and frowned gradually. He saw that the whole ancestral hall was covered with corpses inside and outside. A heavy rain washed away the blood, and the swollen and pale heads were rolled everywhere.

The long sword on his back was unsheathed again and fell at his feet. The young man spread out his spiritual consciousness and flew around the entire town. When he landed again, his brows almost formed a frown.

Taking a few deep breaths, he quickly took out a jade slip from the storage bag. As the young man's mana poured into it, the jade slip "buzzed" and swayed with a faint halo.

Seeing this, the young man considered his words and said solemnly: "Respectfully, Xiao Luo, a disciple of Xunshou Hall, our ancestor, today Xunshou passed by a thousand and two hundred miles north of Anguo, and found a town with evil spirits lingering there. After careful inspection, , the town has a total of 1,600 All twenty-four people were massacred. This trace was similar to the evil cultivator's method, and the disciples had little knowledge. They went to the Zongfa Hall to have a clear look at the map of this place. Xiao Luo, a disciple of Xunshou Hall, reported it - Xia August Renyin. "Chen Shi Er Burn."

Putting away the jade slips, Xiao Luo made a hand with his hands and chanted the Taoist Rebirth Mantra, but was horrified to find that it didn't work. Looking at the heads and corpses everywhere, he couldn't help but feel a chill, and suddenly stepped on his sword and flew away.

————

At the same time, a hundred miles away on the official road, in a remote corner of a roadside tea shop, Gu Xiu lowered his head and drank tea.

Along the way, he continued to use the Qi Condensation Technique to minimize his own aura. Under the meditation spell over and over again, his originally evil aura changed completely. He was no different from an ordinary person, except that his pale face looked like he was in trouble. A serious disease.

When Gu Xiu walked out of Yanlai Town for the first time, he discovered that Anguo was very big. According to the map annotations given by Xu Ziqi, he could walk about three hundred miles further and reach the border of Anguo.

There is a city there, and it is said that a heavy army was stationed there in the early years to deter bandits outside the border.

The northern part of Anguo is mostly poor and bad, and the northern border outside Saibei City is a continuous mountain forest, which is a natural barrier. Bandits have been causing trouble for many years.

The heavy army was originally used to resist bandits, but after the new emperor of Anguo ascended the throne, Zhao State launched a war to pry open the southern border, and the new emperor hurriedly withdrew the heavy troops guarding Saibei City.

Since then, Saibei City was seized by the giant bandits outside the city. When the two countries ceased fighting, Anguo was unable to send heavy troops to suppress the bandits, so it had to pinch its nose and appoint the giant bandit as the lord of Saibei City.

After that, Saibei City became a place where many Jianghu refugees fled.

And Xu Ziqi's wife and daughter were hiding in Saibei City.

This trip, Gu Xiu not only wanted to go to Saibei City, his goal was the deep mountains that stretched for thousands of miles outside Saibei City.

There is a mountain called Heimo, which is the largest gathering place for immortal cultivation families and independent cultivators near Anguo.

The opportunity of cultivating immortals is accompanied by dangers. Gu Xiu had to be careful to guard against the righteous cultivators in the Anguo territory all year round.

But it was different in Heimo Mountain. Heimo Mountain was a place that the righteous sects were unwilling to intervene in. There were all kinds of people in it and it was a place where danger and opportunities coexisted.

As for Xu Ziqi's wife and daughter, Gu Xiu would certainly take care of them, but he had to be cautious. He told him in detail about the murder of Xu Ziqi's son.

Since Xu Ziqi had alarmed the sect cultivators, her wife and daughter might have been found long ago.

Since he promised Xu Ziqi, he would definitely keep his promise, not only for the storage bag in the hands of his master's wife, after all, he respected this master who had been with him for less than two years.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiu grinned, raised his head and drank the tea and hurried on his way.

Gu Xiu deliberately avoided the crowded roads along the way and took the mountain paths.

The path of cultivating immortals is to refine qi, build foundation, form elixir, Yuanying, and transform into spirit.

Gu Xiu wanted to personally visit the immortal world that Xu Ziqi mentioned. Now he was only at the third level of Qi Refining. He believed that his achievements would be higher than Xu Ziqi's, but now he had to be humble. As for the so-called good and evil, in his eyes, anything that could improve his cultivation was the righteous way of heaven and earth.

Crossing mountains and ridges all the way...
