Phaseless Demon

"What do you mean!?" Zhu Zhi panicked.

"What do you mean?" He Qianjue lowered his head slightly and smiled unpredictablely, "It's what you mean in your heart."

When hearing what He Qianjue said, Zhu Zhi immediately thought of his parents. Both of Zhu Zhi's parents were doctors. They died in a car accident in his year. They were driving on the road around the mountain, because Brake failure and other reasons rushed out of the road and fell directly down the cliff. Even people and cars were reduced to ashes in the explosion and flames.

Back then, the police classified it as an accident. Although Zhu Zhi and his sister were heartbroken, life is always full of worries. The world is unpredictable and life and death are normal. After Zhu Zhi came out, he looked away, but today However, this eccentric named He Qianjue overturned the "truth" that Zhu Zhi had always thought, turning the world upside down.

"You mean... are you saying that my parents didn't die in an accident?" Zhu Zhi couldn't help clenching his fists, he wanted to hear what tricks this guy named He Qianjue could concoct, "If that's the case, then Tell me... how did they die!?"

"Before I tell you the cause of your parents' death, let me tell you a story." Facing Zhu Zhi's questioning, He Qianjue took his time and started his own trick. .”

So next, He Qianjue told Zhu Zhi and Han Chan in He Qianjue's arms the story of the woodcutter and the snake that he had told Zhuo Qianqian.

A story with strong mystery.

"In fact, there are two versions of the story of the snake, one is the human version, and the other is the version circulated among the demon race." He Qianjue unconsciously reached out and stroked the head and ears of the little rabbit in his arms, and the rabbit was trembling in his arms After shaking his body and shaking his ears, He Qianjue said, "The version I told you before was passed down among humans, so in the eyes of the monster race, what is going on with this matter?"

Zhu Zhi didn't speak, but knelt down opposite He Qianjue and listened carefully to his story, as if he had already been attracted by He Qianjue's story.

He Qianjue continued: "The story is very simple. We just need to go back to the beginning of the story and think carefully. The first time the woodcutter met Yan Snake in the forest, Yan Snake was injured."

"Injured?" The cicada in He Qianjue's arms suddenly uttered a sound. As soon as he uttered the sound, Zhu Zhi, who was listening to the story carefully, jumped. His gaze involuntarily moved to the little rabbit in He Qianjue's arms. Zhu Zhi said in astonishment : "It can talk! This toy can talk!"

"I'm not a toy, I'm Han Chan!" Han Chan lay in He Qianjue's hand, put her claws on He Qianjue's fingers, and shouted at Zhu Zhi who was opposite.

He Qianjue reached out to touch Han Chan's rabbit ears to comfort him: "Be quiet, listen to me."

The two of them shut down their voices, quieted down and stopped talking, and continued to listen to He Qianjue's narration. He Qianjue said: "At that time, Yan Snake hadn't transformed into a human body. His body was a very huge black snake. It is said that his body has The bucket is so thick, about seven or eight meters in length... that is about the size of a thousand years ago, and it should be even bigger now."

"Yan Snake is a boa constrictor, non-venomous. Although it is huge, it is actually very agile. It is good at catching prey in an instant and then strangling it to death before swallowing it. He is a very powerful monster. Most people or animals cannot harm him, but he can make him Only other monsters are injured."

Zhu Zhi seemed to have realized something, he clapped his hands suddenly and said, "You mean, there are other monsters in the forest?"

"Yes, that's right." He Qianjue nodded slightly, "Snakes are snakes, cold-blooded animals. This kind of creature is actually quite hungry. It is enough for ordinary snakes to eat food once a week, and it is enough for a month without food. Not necessarily starving to death, not to mention that Yan Snake is a monster, assuming he has inedia, it is even less likely to starve to death. How can it be possible that the woodcutter brings him some small animals or meat every two days or even every day? Next, will you choose to devour other humans?"

When He Qianjue said this, Zhu Zhi suddenly realized, and said in surprise: "Then...the monster that eats people in that mountain forest is not a snake, but another one!?"

"Yes...but I don't know what kind of monster it is, and it hasn't been mentioned in the version circulated among our monster clan."

He Qianjue said: "The monster and Yan Snake probably fought each other for some reason. They were both wounded, and neither of them could do anything to win the other, but Yan Snake was saved by the woodcutter. Eat. However, the other monster does not have this treatment, what should he do when he is hungry? He can only choose to eat people."

"But the monster is very smart, I guess it should have a certain ability to imitate the sound, he will learn the skill of talking snake, use special language and sound to attract people passing by... His appearance may also have a certain degree of snake That's why it was mistaken for a giant snake."

"The woodcutter didn't know about the fight between Yan Snake and another monster. Without knowing it, he heard these horrible rumors, and naturally thought it was Yan Snake who did it. When he went up the mountain with an ax to find Yan Snake, He found the wrong monster."

"Looked for the wrong monster?" Zhu Zhi was completely caught up in the story He Qianjue told, "You mean that what he saw was not the snake but another one?"

He Qianjue nodded, "That's right, maybe the monster attracted the woodcutter with a voice similar to that of the snake, and the woodcutter saw the monster that might be similar to the snake, and maybe he also regarded the monster as a monster. Talking about the snake, unsuspectingly approached a real monster, saying that the snake sensed the danger of the woodcutter, and quickly crawled over to save him."

When He Qianjue said this, he stopped talking. He lowered his head and fell into silence, while Zhu Zhi, who was already fascinated by the listening, hurriedly asked: "And then? Then what happened?"

"Then?" He Qianjue shook his head, "I don't know either, it will be clearer if you ask the person involved."

"I don't understand, do you mean to ask me to ask Yan Snake?" Zhu Zhi said strangely.

"The master your sister Zhu Shuyi recognizes is Yan Snake. If you ask him, you might get an answer faster."

Thinking that the master his sister recognized was actually a snake, Zhu Zhi got goosebumps all over his body, and thinking that He Qianjue in front of him might also be some kind of monster. "I still don't understand, what does this story have to do with how my parents died?"

"Of course it has something to do with it." He Qianjue said, tilting his head, "You and your sister are descendants of the woodcutter, don't you understand?"

When Zhu Zhi heard this, he was a little confused: "Huh?"

He Qianjue continued: "Although I don't know who won and who lost the battle between the monster and Yan Snake in the end, but since the story of the human version of Yan Snake and the woodcutter has spread, it means that Yan Snake has successfully escaped from the hands of the monster. The woodcutter protected the woodcutter, so that the woodcutter survived, and in the future he could marry and have children. One generation after another, he told the story of himself and Yan Snake to the descendants, but he didn't know that the spread of this kind of story would give him and bring disaster to future generations.”

At this time, Han Chan, who had been listening to the story silently, said: "It is estimated that the food in his mouth was robbed by Yan Snake, and he was seriously injured and beaten. Revenge, by the way, extended the object of hatred to the people Yan Snake cherishes, such as the woodcutter and his descendants, who tried every means to eat you. So in order to protect the descendants of your benefactor, Yan Snake has followed you Zhu from generation to generation. Home."

"Yes." He Qianjue also said, "He almost spent his whole life protecting your family."

Zhu Zhi understood, his eyes widened in surprise, and he took a breath: "Then the cause of my parents' death..."

"Maybe it was caused by that monster's revenge. I'm afraid Yan Snake missed his hand and failed to protect your parents, so he immediately accepted your sister as his apprentice and kept him by his side all the time." He Qianjue said, squinting his eyes and laughing again Got up, stared at Zhu Zhi and said, "But I'm very surprised, Yan Snake didn't accept you as his apprentice, why...were you not there at that time?"

Zhu Zhi seemed to have figured it out, rubbed his chin and thought, "No, because shortly after my parents died, I immediately went to study in the United States...so that Yan Snake has no chance to accept me as an apprentice."

"So that's it... Forget it, let's not talk about these things for now, I have to remind you of an important thing." He Qianjue still stared at Zhu Zhi, as if there was something interesting on him, staring intently: " Seeing that your face is not good, and Yintang is black, there must be bloody disasters in the near future."

Zhu Zhi stared at He Qianjue strangely: "Do you monsters also read faces?"

He Qianjue said: "I'm not a pure monster. I've learned the spells of ascetics before, and I know a little bit about physiognomy. Your luck is not going to be very good recently. Maybe that monster will come to you and you in the near future. My sister’s troubles, your sister has the personal protection of Yan Snake, you are different, you will probably become the focus of the monster’s attention.”

Zhu Zhi was startled, and asked He Qianjue, "Can I really trust you?"

"You'd better not trust me too much." He Qianjue still smiled slyly, "It's better to trust that snake than trust me."

"But..." He Qianjue suddenly moved closer to Zhu Zhi as he was talking, he was too close, his beautiful face was enlarged in Zhu Zhi's sight, and the blood in his eyes made Zhu Zhi unable to hold back his emotions He took a breath, and then heard He Qianjue say: "I have a once-for-all solution, which can make Yan Snake and that monster... separate from your Zhu family forever, so that there will be no more monsters coming to trouble you Now, from now on, the descendants of you and your sister will not have the tragedy like your parents."

When Zhu Zhi heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he hesitated, "Is there really such a way?"

"Of course there is." He Qianjue spoke with obvious temptation, and he smiled, "You just need to make a deal with me."

----

Afterwards, He Qianjue and Zhu Zhi did make a deal. Basically, He Qianjue wanted the Yan Snake. He could think of a way for Zhu Zhi to make Yan Snake and another monster hurt each other again, and then Zhu Zhi went to kill the monster. Just bring Yan Snake here and let He Qianjue deal with it.

What he said was very simple, but Zhu Zhi listened to the ups and downs in his heart and asked repeatedly: "Is this really going to work?"

"You can go back and think about it, or try to find out what your sister thinks, but don't tell her about me just yet." He Qianjue said, "After you think about it, come back to this mirror and find me."

Zhu Zhi couldn't accept such a large amount of information for a while, and he was still in a state of bewilderment. After hearing He Qianjue's words, he would just nod foolishly.

"Sir, are you really sure to accept a thousand-year-old monster?" After He Qianjue sent Zhu Zhi's soul out of the mirror, Han Chan, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't help but rolled in He Qianjue's arms, "Sir, you can't get out of this mirror, because you don't have aura, and your strength is quite weak. Even if I go out to absorb some for you every day, you probably won't be able to deal with that big black snake!"

He Qianjue looked at him tenderly: "Are you worried about me?"

Han Chan looked quite worried, and pulled He Qianjue's clothes, "Of course I'm worried about you, I'm terribly worried, okay!?"

"Ah! What a good boy!" He Qianjue lifted up the rabbit doll in his hand, rubbed his cheek with a smile, "It's so cute!"

Han Chan suddenly had black lines all over his head.

"I'm serious!" Han Chan patted He Qianjue's nose with her soft cotton paws, "Don't act like a spoiled child to me, you are so old, you are more like a child than me!"

He Qianjue pinched his rabbit ears, with a happy expression on his face: "It really is the right choice to put you on such a cute little puppet!"

There were more black lines on Han Chan's head.

Han Chan was very reconciled, and started beating He Qianjue's face frantically with his cotton paws. He Qianjue had nothing to do with him, and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, let's be serious."

"What on earth are you thinking!?" Han Chan continued to ask.

He Qianjue couldn't help recalling, recalling the Yan Snake he saw when Zhu Shuyi brought Yan Snake to the hospital, He Qianjue said: "He is very weak."

After hearing this, Han Chan was slightly taken aback, but then heard He Qianjue continue: "I knew him the first time I saw him."

"His thousands of years of Taoism are probably destroyed, and he still has to rely on this kind of talisman." He Qianjue took out the talisman that Zhu Zhi failed to take away, and held it in his hand, "It must be to protect the Zhu family for generations. Fighting back and forth with that monster, old wounds are not healed and new wounds are added, if the fight continues like this, it is estimated that neither side will end well."

After hearing He Qianjue's words, Han Chan stared blankly at He Qianjue for a while, and after a while, he tentatively said, "Sir, are you... actually wanting to save that snake."

This time it was He Qianjue's turn to be stunned, and looked down at Han Chan: "Why do you think so?"

Han Chan laughed, "Because you saved me!"

He Qianjue laughed and said, "I treat you like a laborer, why do you think I saved you?"

"When I left Zhuo Qianqian's body, I'm afraid I only had a few days to live. You taught me the way of cultivation and gave me a chance to survive. If it didn't save me, what is it?" Han Chan hugged He Qianjue, Lying in his arms, "It's very kind, sir."

He Qianjue thought for a while, then squeezed Han Chan's rabbit ears: "You are so innocent..."

After finishing speaking, he hugged Han Chan and continued to rub: "But I like it!"

……

The matter about Yan Snake can be left aside for the time being. Anyway, there is still a lot of time. Now He Qianjue and Han Chan are facing another important problem.

It's the ghost of the murderer floating around outside.

The murderer also tried to attack Zhu Zhi before, but Zhu Zhi was very witty and let go of the talisman in time, so that he escaped the catastrophe.

There is a big difference between a demon talisman and a Tao talisman. The demon power is usually attached to the monster talisman. If a monster uses this kind of talisman paper, it will not have much impact. However, if humans use it, the demon power will erode the human body. Kind of talisman paper is a double-edged sword, harming others and harming oneself.

He Qianjue had also seen Zhu Shuyi, and Zhu Shuyi probably used these talisman papers a lot, so she had a demonic aura over time.Probably the Yan Snake himself knew this, and specially gave Zhu Shuyi some protection, so when she used the talisman paper, she didn't suffer any serious injuries.

When Han Chan went out, she moved her cotton rabbit body, looking for a secluded place outside to absorb spiritual energy. There is not much spiritual energy in the hospital, but it can still be absorbed well. In addition, there are many ghosts here, Yin energy Prosperity is also a good place for Shadow Ghost to practice, so it didn't take him long to learn how to absorb spiritual energy, even though the amount of spiritual energy absorbed was so small that He Qianjue couldn't bear to look directly at it.

Although the amount was small, Han Chan still worked very hard, trying to give He Qianjue all the absorbed spiritual energy, but He Qianjue shook his head and said, "No hurry, you can use spiritual energy to strengthen your foundation first, then go ahead."

Unable to bring effective help to He Qianjue, Han Chan felt that he was useless and looked a little frustrated, probably because he was depressed, so He Qianjue changed his style of painting, pinching his ears, paws and cotton body every day, using his cheeks Rubbing back and forth and shouting "cute", it made Han Chan feel amused and helpless, but... I was still inexplicably happy.

Back to the matter of the murderer's ghost, He Qianjue told Han Chan a way to kill the ghost.

"You should absorb more spiritual energy these few days." He Qianjue waved the talisman paper he just got from Zhu Zhi in front of Han Chan, "With this talisman paper, it will be much easier to destroy that evil spirit .”

"How to do it?" Han Chan asked.

Obviously there was no one else in the mirror space except them, but He Qianjue still leaned closer to Han Chan, and whispered with a guilty conscience: "Go to the blood plasma room of the hospital and steal a bag of blood. Your puppet body now has a zipper on the back. , you can hide the blood bag in your body."

"What's the use of stealing that?" Han Chan asked, tilting the rabbit's head.

He Qianjue shook the talisman paper in his hand and said, "It can be used as cinnabar to rewrite the spell on this talisman paper. After I write the spell, I will use the spiritual power you collected to enchant the talisman paper. You Take the talisman and stick it on the murderer, and he will be out of his wits."

"It's so simple." Han Chan looked at the yellow talisman paper in He Qianjue's hand in surprise.

He Qianjue's words contained deep meaning. He said, "Of course, both life and soul are existences that can be easily killed."

"Then can I steal the blood bag now?" Han Chan asked again.

He Qianjue nodded, visually inspected the results of two days of spiritual energy collected by Han Chan, and said, "Although it's a bit small, it's not a big deal, plus the demonic power already on this talisman... well, go and steal it." Bar."

Han Chan nodded, jumped out of He Qianjue's arms, bounced towards the mirror, and jumped out with a whoosh.

He has completely adapted to the body of the puppet, and He Qianjue also used Han Chan's spiritual power to write a spell on his puppet body, which will greatly reduce other people's attention to this puppet Power, so Han Chan can control the puppet's body to run around outside, and no one will notice this amazing scene.

Of course, there might be a surveillance camera to capture it, so He Qianjue specially reminded Han Chan to try to find some shelter or avoid the camera.

Afterwards, Han Chan climbed onto a trolley of a nurse, and used the trolley to enter the plasma room of the hospital, which was filled with all kinds of frozen plasma. He carefully identified the labels on the blood bags, and tried to choose the one with the larger quantity. For the rare blood type, he knew that the blood plasma in the hospital was used to save people, and one bag was used instead of one bag. If you use the blood bag of the rare blood type, it might bring disaster to some patients.

After touching the blood bag, Han Chan hid the blood bag in her cotton body, climbed back into the nurse's trolley, followed the nurse downstairs, bounced and rolled back into the mirror, and then It went well, too. He Qianjue used blood to rewrite the spell on the talisman paper, and then enchanted Han Chan with a pitiful bit of spiritual power, and then handed the written talisman paper to Han Chan.

"The next time you see the murderer, you can stick the talisman on it. You can also wait for the ghost official to come on the seventh day. The ghost official's soul-calling bell will also have some influence on the murderer. Those affected by the soul-calling bell He is the most defenseless moment, and it is also a good choice to post at that time, if it is later, he will turn into a ghost because of the strong yin energy on his body, and start attacking other ghosts."

……

When He Qianjue and Han Chan acted for the murderer's ghost, Zhu Zhi had already returned to his body. When he woke up, he was in the emergency room of the hospital. Heart that stops beating.

Seeing him open his eyes, the colleague shouted with fear and joy, "Zhu Zhi! My God! You're awake!"

Zhu Zhi sat up directly from the operating table, looked around, and saw that the two emergency doctor colleagues he was familiar with asked, "What's going on?"

"You fainted in the hospital lobby just now, your breathing and heartbeat stopped, you scared us to death!"

Zhu Zhi didn't speak. He touched his chest and muttered to himself after a long time: "It's not a dream...it's real."

After the two doctors confirmed that he was safe and sound, they originally wanted him to undergo a series of physical examinations, but Zhu Zhi walked out of the door of the emergency room. The director of the hospital was waiting outside at this time. Seeing Zhu Zhi, he said: " Zhu Zhi, ask for leave immediately and go home to rest for a few days, you almost died of shock just now, do you know that?"

Zhu Zhi just wanted what he wanted, and he was about to leave the hospital and go back to his sister.

This time, he must have a good talk with his sister about the Yan Snake. Although he learned from He Qianjue that Yan Snake is not a treacherous and evil person, monsters are monsters after all, how can they be entangled with humans? Zhu Zhi was worried that his sister would be hurt, so he made some nonsense with the director of the hospital, and left in the name of going home to rest.
