i want to be by your side

I was walking aimlessly in Xiao's house and passed by Yeyin's room.Seeing that the candle was still burning inside, I was a little surprised: It's so late, isn't Yin'er still asleep?So he walked over and knocked on the door.

"Zhi—" the door opened, and Yeyin put on some clothes and came out to open the door.The hair still looks wet, it should be just after taking a shower.

"Aunt Qing?" She seemed a little surprised by my late-night visit.

"Are you still asleep?" I asked casually, and when I entered, I saw an open book on the table inside. "reading a book?"

"Well, some literati miscellaneous notes." Ye Yin said.

As time goes by, the candlelight flickers and jumps from time to time.After Yeyin finished that sentence, I didn't speak, nor did she.The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Finally, Ye Yin was the first to break the silence.She said: "About my mother... I asked Qing Lan about it. She killed demons and took out demon pills. This is the most normal thing among demon masters. When I urgently needed a demon pill, she only gave me this answer."

"Also, I have already asked her to help me to find out which demon exorcist has just come from Yin Dynasty recently, but... I don't think we should have too much hope for this." She said, "In case that person still stays In the Yin Dynasty, or did not come to Xiqi, went to other places..."

I listened to her quietly, and when I got to the end, I started to speak incoherently.It seemed that the matter of Bell had a great impact on her.

I was about to comfort her, but suddenly I heard her ask: "Mother, when will she wake up?"

"Soon." I said, "Taohuajian is full of spiritual energy. Your mother is not seriously injured. The main reason is the coma caused by the overdraft of demon power. I guess she will wake up in a few days, and then I can ask her about the specific situation." .”

"Yeah." Yeyin paused for a moment, and suddenly a tangled look appeared on her face.

"what happened?"

She subconsciously shook her head, then hesitated for a moment, and said, "Aunt Qing, I want to get back my demon pill."

I looked at her seriously for a long time, and kept confirming to her: "Have you really thought about it? Have you thought about the consequences?"

The consequence of what I said is of course that I can't control the demon power in my body.According to Ling Dang, when Yaozun gave birth to Yeyin, she was not safe.One moment he was still fighting with others, and the next second Yeyin was born. Where can he be stable?Yeyin inherited her mother's powerful demon power after birth, but because she was a baby, she had not yet formed her own consciousness and could not control this demon power, so she had to seal it layer by layer.And as Yeyin grew older, the demon power in her body became stronger and stronger. The demon power often leaked out, and from time to time, something would suddenly be destroyed. Finally, when she was four years old, she broke through the seal. Whether human or livestock, they all vomited blood and fell into a coma at the same time.It was under my full control that I avoided casualties.The price I paid for this was that the restaurant I had been running for many years was destroyed by her.

Years of hard work went to waste overnight.

So for a period of time, I just left the two of them to live in the deep mountains and old forests. They lived there for about a few years. After the restaurant was built, I picked them up again.During the period of living in the deep mountains, at the beginning, because of the influence of the demon power, Xiao Yeyin had a high fever almost every day, and she was unconscious. If it was an ordinary person, she would have died long ago, but the demon power in her body was stubbornly hanging on her. tone.

I saw it in my eyes and was anxious in my heart, but what can I do?Seal it again?But it can't cure the root cause after all, the more it is sealed now, the more it will rebound in the future.After a few years, when the seal can no longer seal the demon power, it will be the time of Yeyin's death, not just comatose like now.

For this reason, I visited a lot of experienced old monsters, and finally found a method that can maintain the human form and take out the demon core. Taking the demon core out of Yeyin's body can make her recover after losing the demon core. Can continue to maintain human form.

Yeyin has always known about the past, Lingdang and I did not shy away from her. Fortunately, Yeyin is also very sensible and has not grown into that kind of stubborn and extreme character. Did not show too much emotion.

Although Ling Dang and I have been teaching Yeyin how to absorb and use the huge demon power in her demon core these years, Yeyin is also very diligent and has made great progress, but after all, it is only a little faster than ordinary monsters.To completely control this demon pill, it will be impossible within a hundred years.

But now, I only see determination in her eyes.

"Always relying on others makes me feel uneasy. In contrast, the most real thing is my own strength." She said.

"Xiao Qinglan, are you ready to say something?" I asked, "It can be seen that she is sincere to you. However, although she seems to have let go of some prejudice against Yao now, if she finds that she likes you Monster... that's impossible to tell!"

"If I insist on leaving, she can't stay even if she wants to." Yeyin said, "Although I know her intentions, I'm not sure about the future, but the only thing I can be sure of is that I really don't have that much for her now." Kindness. So Aunt Qing, you don't have to worry."

worry about what?Are you worried that you will fall into it, that I will find out and kill Xiao Qinglan?If it weren't for the latter sentence, I might be able to relax a little bit, but now you have emphasized this sentence, which shows that you may have a subconscious affection that you can't even detect, subconsciously want to escape, want to Avoid this person.

Should I be thankful that she hasn't noticed this quietly budding affection for me yet?Before I could make a move, I strangled myself in the cradle.My heart was suddenly blocked.To be honest, I don't want Yeyin to be with a human being in the end, because life is at stake, and Yin'er is still young and has a long way to go.But I am not qualified to say that, because I also fell in love with human beings.After a hundred years, I will take Jinrui's coffin and sleep in the ground; but I don't want Yeyin to make the same choice as me.

Because she is still young.

"Whenever you decide to say goodbye to her, come and inform Aunt Qing. Aunt Qing will take you to a place and give you something." I finally said this, said good night to Yeyin, and left the room .

In the end, Bai Yanmo still didn't come back, she just let her crow fly back to send a letter saying that she had some clues now and might not come back in the next few days.I ignited the demon fire and lit the letter paper, watching the crow gradually melt into the distant night.

I don't know much about Bai Yanmo. I only know that she is looking for a fox demon because of what the other party said before leaving.She entered the palace with her master a hundred years ago, and has been serving as a demon guard in the palace ever since.It was also at that time that she met her in the dungeon of the palace.

In short, the process of the two demons getting to know each other was tortuous, and finally the fox demon escaped from the dungeon and left the palace.Before leaving, she said to Bai Yanmo: "If one day you leave the palace and don't know where to go, then come to me."

There is no time, no place, and only this very ethereal sentence remains.Although Bai Yanmo didn't talk much, once she was sure about one thing, nothing could stop her.So in the end she chose to go to her.

I meditated all night on the roof, and after dawn, the little demon An Qi from Yuan Jian rushed to Shazhen and waited patiently in front of Xiao's mansion.

Where is this little demon?When I saw it, I couldn't help being speechless, the pure blood of the Black Eagle lineage, no matter how weak it is, is comparable to the strength of any one of the palace demon guards.But it's still a little bit worse than me.

I lay down on the roof and looked down at him while estimating his strength.

After a while, Zheng Rentao came over, handed him a talisman, and then entered Xiao's house one after another.I watched them enter Yuan Jian's room, and saw Zheng Rentao back out and guard the door.

I hesitated for a while, but finally I hid myself and walked around to the roof over there to eavesdrop.As a result, just as I lifted the last tile to look inside, a sharp black feather pierced me head-on.

I blew lightly on it, and the feather instantly burned in mid-air, and was burned to ashes before it hit me.Looking inside again, I met Yuan Jian's relieved and helpless eyes.On the other hand, An Qi looked at me vigilantly as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

"Qing'er, come down and listen with me." Yuan Jian said, "You don't need to do this in the future, just come in."

"Yeah!" I happily ran down from the roof, pushed open the door and walked in, sat down beside Yuan Jian, put the hand closest to me into her palm and played with it.

"An Qi, keep talking." Yuan Jian squeezed my hand, signaling me not to make trouble.

The black eagle monster named An Qi glanced at me before continuing to report what he just said.

"...That's all." He finally said, and then presented something else. "This is the tortoise shell of the magic fortune teller. I also found it in the old Taoist's room."

Yuan Jian took the tortoise shell and looked at it carefully, and I also leaned over to take a look. It was indeed the handwriting of the old tortoise, but the tortoise shell looks quite old, but I don’t know how many years ago it was calculated. Guess what, the only breath of fate above has been worn away by time.

The so-called breath of fate actually refers to the future breath left on the turtle shell. After all, it is considered a matter of the future, and it should also have some illusory breath traces related to fate left on it.

Then, Zheng Rentao was called in to discuss things together.In this regard, I couldn't continue to stay cheeky, so I found an excuse to come out, and after wandering aimlessly in the street for a few laps, one of the string of white bells around my waist suddenly rang.

I paused, turned suddenly as if I couldn't control my body, and then walked quickly into the deserted alley, feeling happy inside.

The man in black, who had no clue, now finally has a clue.

After leaving the sight of the crowd, I quickly flew towards Taohuajian.Not for anything else, just because Bell, who had been in a coma for a long time, finally woke up.Due to the loss of the demon pill, the bell can only be a cat now, but this queen cat looks sleepy now, lying listlessly on the bed.

When Bell saw me, she shook her tail a few times and then put it down again.I stepped forward to carefully inspect all parts of her body, and found that her injuries were recovering well, and I can probably guess what the reason for her lack of energy is.

"Can you feel where the demon pill is?" I asked.

Bell shook his head, but stuck out his claws and carved something on the edge of the bed.

"This is..." I couldn't help frowning when I saw the pattern she carved. "Yin-Yang Curse Seal?"

It feels like it, but it doesn't look like it.

I tried to identify it again, and there were more patterns than the normal Yin-Yang curse prints, not just a simple Yang fish and a Yin fish connected end to end and then formed into a circle.It is said to be like the Yin-Yang Curse Seal, but when the bell is drawn, the whole pattern looks more like an eye, um, an eye with double pupils.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw this eye, but in the next second I had to become serious.Because this eye with double pupils is the symbol of the exorcising master of the Tong family, which is so mysterious among all the exorcising master families.It is said that every generation of the Tong Family Patriarch has double pupils.

This is not the most important thing.I still remember that An Qi said just now that his tortoise shell was found in the home of a widowed old Taoist priest, and the old Taoist priest was also surnamed Tong.Is this a coincidence?

I suddenly had an ominous premonition that there must be something wrong with the turtle shell that An Qi brought back!
