Twelve Trials from Scratch

Soreness, weakness in limbs, splitting headache... Physical discomfort, coldness in breathing, depression in an enemy city, loneliness of missing loved ones, loneliness of being alone, fear of facing illness, despair of no future... …At that moment, he was under so much pressure that he almost suffocated, and even thought of committing suicide, and he was about to take action.

But at that moment, that annoying spirit who talked nonsense all day long and came to tease me whether he wanted it or not suddenly came back.That idiot was beaten up to be seriously injured on purpose, and then he asked the Taoist master for leave and came back to accompany him.

"Seeing you look so empty, lonely, and cold that you want to die, I asked for leave and came back to accompany you. How about it, are you so moved that you want to give me your body, my friend."

Daohe still remembers clearly until now, when the guy was covered in bandages and bloodstains, but he smiled smugly and said these words.

That day, because he was seriously injured, that guy didn't have the energy to take care of his own patient, and occasionally even turned it around, asking his own patient to take care of him.And he was still running the train in a mess, talking nonsense all over the place, and all kinds of trivial thoughts came out, which made him very annoying, but at least... the loneliness and loneliness were driven away by that guy's long-winded.

Since then, he has had the only friend in this enemy camp.

"Is it coming so soon..."

While thoughts were flying, the familiar small courtyard appeared in Daohe's eyes.

Although he slowed down intentionally or unintentionally, Dao City is not big, and the end point will naturally be reached soon, but he... still hasn't made up his mind.

"I don't know if that guy is back..."

Standing in front of the courtyard and hesitating for a moment, Daohe took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and finally stepped forward and walked in.

……

Time continued to move forward, back to the time when Su Qi left Danyuan Palace.

"Recently, my mind has been a little drifting..."

Walking on the road outside Danyuan Palace, Su Qi was reflecting.

After talking with Doen himself, he found that the Doen in this world is very different from the one he knew from the original manga.In the original book, Dao Yuan didn't trust anyone before he was defeated. His heart seemed firm, but in fact he was fragile. However, Dao Yuan in this world has a truly solid idea and reason to support him.

Compared with a real evolved world, the information in a comic is too little and too one-sided after all, so it is normal for the characters to be different. However, when he met Dao Run and Li Bailong for the first time, he felt It is obviously not objective enough to rashly evaluate characters that have not been seen in this world based on the one-sided impressions obtained in the comics.

"In the world of Inuyasha, I have just arrived and am cautious, but I haven't made this kind of mistake yet, so... because I successfully killed Naraku, purified the jade of the four souls, and obtained supernormal power from the system, so my mentality drifted, and breeding Arrogant?"

He has self-examined, self-analyzed, and his somewhat impetuous mentality has gradually settled down since he came to this world.

"Mr. Lu Xun once said, 'I examine myself three times a day'. This sentence really makes sense. I should learn from it in the future and set aside a period of time every day for quiet thinking and self-reflection."

Su Qi took a deep breath and set a commandment for himself in his heart.At the same time as the thought fell, I suddenly felt my mind tremble, and my consciousness was clear. The spiritual bottleneck that had been loosened a little before was shaken again, as if it had been softened a little by relaxation.

"Huh? This kind of feeling... Do I want to follow the path of enlightenment to sublimate my soul?"

He reacted, combined with the previous communication with the little grass consciousness, and the loosening of the bottleneck, he had a vague guess in his mind.

Su Qi has always believed that the power of the soul is the only extraordinary power that will not be restricted by the system and can pass through other worlds, so it must be very important.But ever since he fought against thousands of demon souls in the Jade of Four Souls and raised Fudoguan to the highest level, he has been unable to find a way to continue to improve his soul power. Until now, he finally has some clues , The corner of the mouth can't help but raise a smile.

"Not bad, good things happen today, maybe it's my lucky day."

Maintaining a relaxed and happy mood, Su Qi took a leisurely stroll back to the small courtyard. As soon as he walked outside the door of the wing room where he lived, the faint smile on his face quickly disappeared, and his expression sank.

Strange, why did Daohe's mood swings become so chaotic, painful, resentful, and... guilt?Wait, guilty?Why feel guilty?The most likely target of guilt...will it be me?

With some doubts, Su Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, and walked into the wing secretly.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Daohe was sitting at the table, playing with the gourd containing Bigu Dan in his hand, his face was gloomy, his eyes flickered, he seemed distracted, he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Yo, Daohe, your emperor is back."

Su Qi smiled slightly, with actor-level acting skills, he casually raised his hand to say hello.

Daohe froze slightly, calmed down for a moment, glanced at him expressionlessly, and said in a sticky tone: "Yes, we easily defeated Master Daolian, the emperor who reigns at the top of all soul boys has finally returned, Do you need a little one to kneel down to greet you?"

"Xiao Hezi is free of courtesy, just go and make a pot of tea for me."

He lifted the kettle at hand and put it forward, said angrily: "Is there any tea you want, but there is still half a kettle of boiling water left, your majesty, you can forcefully make it."

"It's outrageous." Su Qi walked to the table and sat down, poured himself a glass from the kettle, and said, "You don't look like a slave, be careful, someone will drag you out of the Meridian Gate to continue."

Daohe rolled his eyes, and said in a strange way: "My lord, this is the Taoist City, not the Forbidden City, and there is no such thing as the Meridian Gate."

Su Qi didn't speak. He picked up the water glass and paused for a while. He didn't feel any abnormal fluctuations in the other party's mood, so he poured cool boiling water into his mouth and let out a comfortable breath.

Then he put down the cup, looked at the gourd in Daohe's hand, his eyes moved slightly, and said with a smile: "Daohe, why don't you let go of the gourd containing Bigu Dan? Are you hungry before noon? Could it be that you just made it?" What kind of strenuous exercise, nutrition can't keep up?"

After finishing speaking, he shrugged his nose, frowned slightly, and said with a strange expression: "Hey... so, there seems to be a smell of heather in the air. My friend, to be honest, you are not taking advantage of my absence Have you rushed secretly? What is the material for casting the spell? Take it out and let me be healthy."

"Nonsense!" Daohe glared at him and threw the gourd over. "I understand that it is impossible to spit out ivory from your mouth! Here, if you want a gourd, I will give it to you, don't give it to me any more." I'm talking nonsense and disgusting people."

Su Qi took it casually, glanced at him, unscrewed the lid and poured out a Bigu Pill, and immediately felt the other person's mood fluctuate violently.

Chapter 15 To be a human being, the most important thing is tolerance

It happened to be that one!

Looking at the Bigu Pill in Su Qi's hand, Dao and his pupils shrank, and his heart suddenly became nervous.

He carved a shallow scratch on the Three Corpse Gu God Pill, and most people would not notice it without careful observation, but he knew this in advance, and at a glance he found that the one in Su Qi's hand happened to be the Three Corpse Gu God Dan.

In order to prevent Su Qi from noticing that the Bigu Pill in the gourd had suddenly decreased too much and found something abnormal, when he put the medicine before, he referred to the original amount and deliberately left a few in the gourd. He didn't expect Su Qi to be too "lucky" ", won the big prize for the first time.

But at this moment, noticing the sudden change in Daohe's mood swings, Su Qi immediately became vigilant, but calmly, he glanced at the Bigu Pill in his hand as if nothing had happened, and keenly found a thin and shallow scratch.

The inner surface of the gourd is smooth, and the surface of the general Bigu Pill is also as smooth as jade, there will be no such scratches at all, and coupled with the emotional fluctuations just now, there is probably something wrong with this Bigu Pill... Poison?But why poison me?There shouldn't be any serious animosity between us...

He was a little puzzled in his heart, looked at the opposite side and deliberately looked away, looked out of the window, tried his best not to show any strange eyes, his thoughts turned sharply, and suddenly said: "Speaking of which, I played several games in a row this morning. A little hungry."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the medicine pill and sent it to his mouth in an unhurried manner.

idiot!Haven't had anything for lunch yet!

Daohe seemed to be looking out of the window, but he had been secretly watching Su Qi from the corner of his eye. He saw him suddenly put the Three Corpse Gu God Pill into his mouth, and clenched the palm on his right knee under the table , I was shocked, nervous, angry, and entangled, and my emotions were complicated.

wrong!Why am I angry with him?I should be happy!I'm glad that idiot got caught easily and didn't notice my abnormality!As long as he takes the medicine, I won't be exposed, I won't be killed, my parents and sister can live well outside, and the price he has to pay is a little freedom, this is the best choice!

So my choice is correct!I have to!I can only do this!I have no other choice!Just a little freedom, just a little freedom, am I the same?

Am I also driven, controlled, manipulated like a puppet, and used like a tool, living a life without freedom every day?Although this kind of life is full of pain and fear, but... as long as I can live, I can accept it. As long as I can live, it is better than anything else. Compared with being assassinated by those people in the future, I am saving him by doing this, right?Even if he knew the truth, he would definitely think so, right?So I did nothing wrong!Just let him take that pill!just let him...

"Daohe, what are you doing?"

The arm holding the pill was grabbed by the other hand and stopped in front of the mouth.Su Qi looked at him with a strange face and got up suddenly, grabbing his hand, as if he didn't understand why.

what did I do?

Only then did the latter react, and the chaotic eyes returned to clarity.

He remembered.Just now, when my mind was full of random thoughts and distracting thoughts, I didn't know why, but I made a sudden move by accident, preventing Su Qi from swallowing the three corpses Gu pill at the last moment.

Am I an idiot! ?Why should I do this! ?What should I do now?With that guy being more and more clever recently, he will definitely find out that my behavior is abnormal, and then... I will die!

In an instant, all kinds of unfavorable follow-up deduction exploded in his mind, and he froze in place, as if falling into an ice cave.

Su Qi's eyes flashed, but he didn't seem to notice anything unusual. He raised his head slightly, and said with a puzzled expression: "My friend, do you want this Bigu Pill? If you want it, you can just talk, don't you say you want it?" How do I know that you really want it? Although you look at me sincerely, you still have to tell me what you want. It’s impossible for you to say you want it and I won’t give it to you. You say you don’t want it I want to give it to you, everyone is reasonable! Do you really want it? Then you can take it, don’t you really want it? Don’t you really want it when you’re so hungry?”

"..."

After a strange silence and staring at each other, Dao and Tan grabbed the three corpses Gu pill in Su Qi's hand expressionlessly, and deliberately said in a flat voice: "Yes, I'm suddenly hungry, so this pill The bigu pill will belong to me first."

"Are you so hungry and thirsty?" At this point, Su Qi looked around, with an expression like an underground transaction, and whispered: "Daohe, to be honest, have you paid too much social security recently? , Really can’t keep up with nutrition? Don’t worry, this is a problem that ordinary teenagers will encounter, and I won’t laugh at you.”

"Fuck off!"

After the buffer just now, Dao He finally calmed down and resumed his usual rhythm.While speaking, he put away the three corpse Gu god pill.

"Oh, young people are just thin-skinned and too shy." Su Qi shook his head, and said again: "But aren't you hungry? Why did you take the Bigu Pill back? Don't you want to eat it?"

"I was so disgusted by your words that I suddenly lost my appetite. I want to eat later, can't I?"

"Okay, okay, of course, but my friend, looking at your face, it seems that there is something unhappy in your heart, why don't you tell me to make me happy... Ah no, do you care about it?"

"Okay." Dao He rolled his eyes at him, "The guy who lives in the same room as me is very annoying, so annoying that I want to kill him, what do you think should I do?"

"Hey, the most important thing to be a human being is tolerance. I think you should choose to forgive him."

"But I just want to be quiet right now."

"Who is Jingjing?"

He didn't speak any more, just stared at Su Qi quietly.

The latter sighed softly, "Okay, okay, I won't be the light bulb for you and Miss Jing Jing, I'll shut up."

After finishing speaking, he stuffed the gourd, put it on the table, stood up, and went straight out.

The critical moment is over...

Standing in the yard, basking in the sun, Su Qi thought about the Tao and the motives behind his abnormal behavior.

According to the emotional changes I perceive, it is obviously not his intention to do so, so apart from feelings, it is profit.But as far as I know, he really has no interest in becoming a psychic king or a Taoist patriarch, so there should be no conflict of interest between us, so... is it a factor other than Tao itself?

His emotional changes only started after I showed my talent and strength, so in reverse deduction, who doesn't want me to be so good?The other Taoists that Dao Shuo guy mentioned?No, even if they want to deal with me, they should wait for Dao Lian to cool down first, otherwise there will be more unfavorable variables.

Dowland, the woman who was clearly displeased with my actions?No, she shouldn't be able to do this, and she has no contact with such an inconspicuous Taoist lower class like Daohe on weekdays. Today, she is basically with Daoyuan and Daozhen, and it is difficult to arrange her in such a short time. all right.

Other soul boys who are jealous of me?That's even more impossible.They have neither the strength nor the incentive to take such a big risk.So excluding other options, the person who is most likely to do this...

Reminiscent of the test and conversation that had just passed in the Danyuan Palace, a name suddenly appeared in Su Qi's mind - Xuanzhendao.

Taoism had a precedent of being sabotaged by Xuanzhendao's undercover agents before, otherwise Daozhen would not have attached so much importance to the identification of spies, so even if there are Xuanzhendao's eyes in the current Taoist school, it is not impossible .And if someone from Xuanzhen Dao is fully capable and motivated to target me, I just didn't expect it to come so soon, such a coincidence...

For the time being, the imaginary enemy is scheduled to be Xuanzhen Dao and break into the second and fifth sons of Taoism, and he begins to think about countermeasures.

First of all, without definite clues and evidence, it is difficult to get high-level Taoists to help, unless you hand over the suspected opponent's offline Tao He, of course not; Take the initiative to confess, even if he forces a showdown, he can deny it, and there is probably something in the other party's hands; so, how to find clues?

Su Qi's thoughts turned, and soon he thought of a person, a person who inexplicably harbored murderous intentions towards him - the master of Kanli Hall, Dao Shuo.

Try to find that guy first, and if it doesn't work, think of other ways.But Dao Shuo is also a high-ranking Taoist after all. To deal with him in Dao City, we should try to keep the noise as small as possible, so we should wait until night to act...

After confirming his goal, he relaxed, found a place to sit in the yard, and began to study the application of witchcraft and spiritual power.

……

That night, when Dao and the other soul boys were in evening class, Su Qi, who was specially approved by Dao Yuan not to practice together, quietly went out.

"It's about to sneak in again..."

In a nearby dark alley, with a thought in his mind, the small Taoist robe on his body became a set of small black night clothes—before, he had already changed his clothes into the one that could be changed with one click. Pretend to be a strange thing.

"It's a pity that one-click dressing can't disguise the body shape."

While covering his face with a black triangle scarf, Su Qi told himself to be careful later.Because with his current body shape, once someone finds out and checks who didn't attend evening class, his identity will basically be completely exposed.

But he wasn't too worried.After all, with the help of the pseudo-Sky Eye, coupled with his previous infiltration experience, he can now be said to be a skilled infiltration master (referring to serious infiltration).
