Nocturnal

Outside the door, Walnut stood up and lay on the door, barking agitatedly.

"Come down, stay here!" Li Yedu pressed the dog's head, trying to tear it off the gate, "Scratch the gate of Mochi's house and see if he doesn't beat you!"

Walnut's claws scratched desperately at the stainless steel anti-theft door twice, becoming more and more restless, and whining non-stop.Li Yedu was so troubled by it that he had a headache, his patience ran out, and he slapped him, "Speak up if you have something to say! I can't understand the dialect in the valley of your hometown!"

Walnut raised his furry dog ​​face, sobbing tearfully.

Li Yedu was helpless, "I know he's inside, but he's in a bad mood right now, probably because he doesn't really want to see people... mainly because he doesn't want to see you. Look, he didn't open the door after you barked for a long time."

Walnut gritted his teeth, and his eyes showed a fierce look.

"Okay, okay, let me take a look." Li Yedu was annoyed by him, looked left and right, took out a piece of stacked talisman paper from his pocket and shook it lightly, the talisman paper turned into a ball of green at his fingertips The smoke penetrated through the gap in the anti-theft door, leaving behind a burnt-like smell.

Walnut grinned and took two steps back.

"Oh, don't show such a disgusted expression," Li Yedu said, "Is this the smell of the cinnabar master made... the aftertaste is still good. Hey, the fragrance of peach blossoms."

Walnut circled him twice, and the dog's eyes flashed with excitement.

"Patience, patience, you are not the only one who is worried about him." Li Yedu comforted it not very sincerely.In fact, before the two of them went upstairs, he had already felt the fluctuation of spiritual power from the twelfth floor.But this wave of spiritual power was very gentle, with a sense of almost joy, which made Li Yedu feel very familiar and without malice.

This is also the reason why Walnut jumped up and down, but subconsciously he was not too anxious - he could feel that Qin Mochi's situation was safe.

"He's inside," Li Yedu shrugged his nose, "but..."

His face changed slightly.

Seeing that he was in a daze again, Walnut hurriedly pulled his trousers with his claws.

"He's fine, he's fine." Li Yedu comforted the impatient Walnut, took out his mobile phone and called Qu Zhi, asking him to answer the call for Xia Zhifei.He hasn't been in the city for long, and he doesn't understand many things, but he knows that there is a thing called "surveillance" in the city. People who slip through doors and pick locks are afraid of this. If they are not careful, they will be recorded. When the time comes, the police will know who to catch...

Xia Zhifei slowly came over to answer the phone, "Li Yedu? Do you need something from me?"

Li Yedu didn't go around in circles with him, and asked him directly, "I'm at the door of Mochi's house now, what should I do if I want to go in?"

Xia Zhifei was taken aback, "Why did you go to his house?"

"I have something to do." Li Yedu became impatient, "I knocked on the door and he wouldn't open it, and there was no sound at home. I'm afraid he's in trouble."

Xia Zhifei hesitated, "Wait a minute."

After the phone hung up, Li Yedu used his ears to pay attention to the movement in the room, and he heard the phone ring faintly.Naturally, no one answered.A moment later, his cell phone rang.An unfamiliar number, you don't need to guess to know it is Xia Zhifei.

"I called the property management of the community," Xia Zhifei was panting, as if he was running from the sound, "They have a spare key, someone will come over to open the door right away, you just wait there."

Li Yedu quickly agreed.

After hanging up the phone, I saw Walnut laying pitifully on the door, clawing at the crack of the door with two paws, as if he wanted to use his hairy paws to fight against the stainless steel anti-theft door.

Li Yedu squatted down beside him, reached out and touched his head, "The ink pool is fine, you can feel it too, right?"

Walnut shook off his hand and dodged to the side, the dog's face was full of disgust.

Li Yedu hated it.This guy was not so annoying when his spirit aperture was not opened two years ago. At most, he had a little eccentricity, such as always like to hide the old clothes left by Qin Mochi in the kennel, or hide in Mochi's yard on rainy days The old peach tree in the village refused to come out and wait.Since he started practicing, his temper has become more and more foul. Apart from Qin Mochi, there is no room for anyone else in his eyes.Everyone has a stinky expression of disgust.I don't know where I learned it from.

Li Yedu paid attention to the movement in the room, and felt that the slowly fluctuating spiritual power seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.At first he thought that something had stimulated the demon pill on Qin Mochi's body, causing the spiritual power to fluctuate.But now it looked more like a powerful spiritual force was constantly washing over Qin Mochi's meridians.

Taoism talks about three souls and seven souls.Three souls: the three souls of heaven, earth, and man, which were called Taiguang, Shuangling, and Youjing in ancient times.The seven souls are actually the seven chakras and seven energy fields of the human body mentioned in Tibetan secrets.When A Li carried Qin Mochi back to the mountain, his master once said that he lacked refreshing spirit and impaired spiritual wisdom.And the demon power itself is also a kind of energy.As for how Ali used his demon pill to make up for Qin Mochi's missing soul, and how did Qin Mochi, who was the bearer, bear the powerful spiritual power of the demon pill with his frail human body? Can't figure it out.Or you can find an opportunity to ask his master in the future.

The situation at this moment is very likely that something has aroused the demon core, and then triggered the powerful power stored in the demon core.There is no doubt that A Li's consciousness still remains in this power, and A Li's deep affection for Qin Mochi guides this force to gently wash Qin Mochi's meridians...

Li Yedu shuddered, and he suddenly realized what had happened: since the demon pill was driven into Qin Mochi's soul, it began to slowly merge with his own soul.But now, Qin Mochi's body as an ordinary human can no longer hold the rest of the power of the demon pill—Ali's demon pill is transforming Qin Mochi's body!

The elevator door slid open, and staff in property uniforms hurried over.Xia Zhifei called and said that when Qin Mochi on the twelfth floor passed out at home, they were also taken aback.Although they have no direct responsibility for this matter, it is always bad for owners to have accidents within the scope of their work.

Li Yedu and Walnut stood up quickly, and Walnut was even more anxious to rush over to grab the key and open the door by himself.

The moment the door opened, Li Yedu felt a strong force hit him in the chest. Li Yedu was caught off guard, and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.As an ordinary person, the property staff fainted directly and bumped into the shoe cabinet by the door.Walnut, however, didn't seem to feel anything, and rushed into the bedroom barking.

Li Yedu supported the decorative wall pillar at the entrance, and it took him a long time to catch his breath.The property staff just fainted, and there was no danger, so Li Yedu ignored him, closed the door, and quickly ran towards the bedroom.

The half-hidden door of the bedroom was knocked open by walnuts, and Li Yedu saw Qin Mochi lying flat on the carpet at a glance, his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and his body trembled unceasingly due to the fluctuating spiritual power around him.Beside him was a camphorwood box with the lid open, but there was nothing inside.

Li Yedu couldn't figure out what Qin Mochi was doing, did something happen while he was packing his things?

Li Yedu didn't dare to touch him easily, so he pushed Walnut aside again, preventing him from touching him.Walnut's spiritual wisdom has been activated, knowing that the situation is a bit special at this time, and he can't be willful, so he can only lie on the side far away, staring at Qin Mochi without blinking, his watery eyes are full of nervousness, as if afraid of his own negligence, Qin Mochi It will disappear again.

Li Yedu set up a protective barrier around Qin Mochi to avoid any accidents.He called Xia Zhifei again and told about Qin Mochi's situation and his own speculation.Although he is a Taoist, Xia Zhifei's job is to deal with all kinds of monsters. He knows more about the possible situations of monsters than Li Yedu, and has more experience.

Sure enough, Xia Zhifei told him, "Don't touch the ink pool, just let him lie there. Pay attention to protection. I'll be there soon."

Li Yedu hung up the phone, sat down on the carpet by the window, looked at the sleeping Qin Mochi, feeling powerless in his heart.Qin Mochi's brows were frowned, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes, as if he was experiencing something that made him sad while he was asleep.

Li Yedu looked at him like this, his chest tightened, and he felt distressed for a moment.

Of course, Qin Mochi didn't know what happened around him.He was now exerting all his strength against the force that bound him.

From the moment he fell, an inexplicable force began to surge crazily in his body, causing unbearable pain wherever he passed.At first, the power of this circulation was only a small bundle, but as the circulation intensified, it became thicker and thicker, as if the blood vessels were about to be ruptured by it.What's even more frightening is that he can clearly feel that it is precisely through this mysterious cycle that it continuously draws power from his body, and then further uses this power to promote the cycle.

This is simply the nature of eating your family's food and asking you for a meal ticket.

Qin Mochi felt very angry, but unfortunately he couldn't move and could only lie there passively being bullied.

As the power fluctuated, a misty light mist gradually appeared in front of Qin Mochi's eyes, and there was something shining in the center of the light mist, spinning continuously.

Qin Mochi has an intuition that all the changes in his body come from this, or this is the source of the monster power he hides in his body.

Demon Dan.

The demon pill is suspended in the thin mist of light, a ball the size of a fist, exuding a magnificent purple.The purple demon pill doesn't look like a solid substance, but instead looks like a dense fog condensed together. If you look closely, you can faintly see the flowing lines like flowing water, which seems to wrap it. The thin purple haze is just like blooming from inside it.And the blurred mist gave Qin Mochi an indescribable sense of familiarity.

Seems like I saw it in my sleep.In the dream, he slept curled up in the faint mist of light like a little baby, surrounded by it and nourished silently.

Qin Mochi didn't know if it was his own illusion, but he always felt that the demon pill was getting smaller little by little.And in the thinner and thinner purple fog, a vague figure gradually appeared.A beautiful figure of a sleeping woman.Qin Mochi had never met Ali before, but he had an intuition that this figure was her.

Qin Mochi suddenly had an unbelievable thought: Could it be that Ali didn't really die, but was trapped in her own demon core? !

When Qin Mochi woke up, it was already dark, and he was still lying on the carpet in front of the closet in the bedroom.With the light from outside the house, he saw that the camphorwood box containing Ali's fur was still placed where he had been before he passed out. The lid of the box was open, and the inside was empty.

Qin Mochi struggled to get up from the carpet, feeling that all the bones in his body were about to fall apart, and his head was also throbbing with pain.

There was a slight scratching sound at the door, Qin Mochi looked up, saw Walnut struggling to open the open door, and ran towards him happily.The small expression was both excited and aggrieved, Qin Mochi's heart almost melted when he saw it.He hugged Walnut's big furry head and shook it gently, "Walnut, do you miss me?"

Walnut rubbed against his face, making a coquettish moan.

The door was pushed open, and the lights came on. Li Yedu and Xia Zhifei walked in one after the other, and when they saw Qin Mochi woke up, they both showed expressions of relief.Xia Zhifei was the first to help Qin Mochi up, checked up and down, and asked worriedly, "How do you feel? Is there any discomfort?"

Li Yedu was pushed aside by him, wishing he could kick him.

Qin Mochi didn't notice Xia Zhifei's small movements, and sat down on one side of the sofa following his hand, looked left and right and asked, "Where's that fur?"

Xia Zhifei was slightly taken aback, "What fur?"

Qin Mochi pointed to the place where he lay down just now, "I fell on the fur that was placed here before I fell."

Xia Zhifei turned to look at Li Yedu, Li Yedu was also surprised, "I didn't have any fur when I came in, you just lay there, and there was an empty box next to it... The walnuts can testify."

Walnut sat beside Qin Mochi's lap, wagging his tail in a serious manner.

Qin Mochi held his head in his hands.

Xia Zhifei looked at him nervously, "What's wrong?"

Qin Mochi looked at him with a pale face, panicked, "I remembered, that fur seems...it seems to have melted on my body..."

Xia Zhifei was taken aback, "What do you mean it has melted on you?"

Li Yedu, who was standing behind him, showed a thoughtful expression.

"It's just..." Qin Mochi didn't know how to explain, "It suddenly wrapped me up, and then it melted." He stretched out his arm to show the two people, and swallowed anxiously, "...it oozes through the skin went in."

Xia Zhifei looked at his arms nervously. Qin Mochi didn't like sports very much, his body was thin, and his arms looked thinner than his own. The smooth skin covered the well-proportioned flesh and bones, and it was faintly honey-colored under the light. something wrong.Xia Zhifei rubbed his arm twice worriedly, looked at the red marks on his skin, and asked Qin Mochi worriedly, "Do you have any special feeling?"

"Yes." Qin Mochi stared at him, "You rub too hard, brother!"

Xia Zhifei laughed, let go of his arms and asked Li Yedu beside him, "What do you think?"

Li Yedu really wanted to be like Xia Zhifei, picking up Qin Mochi's arm and rubbing it well, but felt that this idea was too obscene, as if he was taking advantage of others, so he coughed uncomfortably, and looked away from Qin Mochi's exposed skin Kai, "Didn't you notice that Mochi's demonic aura is stronger?" If there were people who doubted his identity before and it was difficult to judge whether he was a human or a demon, then basically there is no need to make a special distinction now.Especially for Taoist disciples like Li Yedu, this kind of demonization is so strong that it can be seen with the naked eye.

The detector on Xia Zhifei's wrist kept vibrating slightly, and the round dial was blood red.The most central pointer is spinning around and around crazily.

This is something that has never happened in the past few years.

A tinge of fear arose in Xia Zhifei's heart for no reason.It's not because he's afraid of Qin Mochi, but because of the strange things that happened to him.His younger brother, how should he define his identity now? !

Li Yedu didn't think so much, he had guessed this situation before.He patted Qin Mochi's arm to signal him to calm down, "Don't be nervous, listen to my thoughts first."

Qin Mochi looked at him nervously.The big eyes blinked, looking very pitiful.

Li Yedu felt his fingers itch, and wished he could pounce on his head and rub it well.

"That's right," Li Yedu coughed twice, looking around and not daring to look at Qin Mochi's face, "You also know that you have Ali's demon pill in your body, I guess, this demon pill has been used for so many years Your body has almost absorbed it."

Qin Mochi nodded, they had discussed this topic before.Master Faming also said that he was born with an incomplete soul. If it weren't for Ali's demon pill, he would still be a little blind until now. Not to mention doing the work he likes, his normal life would be full of difficulties.

"To explain in common terms, demon power is also a kind of energy," Li Yedu said, "You are just an ordinary human being. Although you have been nourished by demon pills for so many years, the energy your body can bear is always limited." Having said that, Li Yedu was suddenly confused. Back then, Qin Mochi was only a child of seven or eight years old. How could such a weak body withstand Ali's demon pill?Or did something tamper with the demon core to seal most of the spiritual power?

"Brother Li?" Qin Mochi looked at him suspiciously.

"Oh," Li Yedu came back to his senses, "I guess, the sudden demon power on your body is actually because the power released by the demon core cannot be completely absorbed by you. Your current body can no longer hold the demon core to continue The power released, so Yaodan will find a way out by itself... I think, the leopard skin left by Ali has been used by Yaodan to refine your body."

Qin Mochi looked at him nervously, "What will happen?"

Li Yedu couldn't hold back, and stretched out his hand to rub his forehead, "No, it's just that your body has been modified to accommodate the remaining power of the demon core. As for the bad parts...you don't understand anything, but But with Ah Li's hundreds of years of cultivation, I'm afraid it's not safe."

Nakun also said this, saying that Qin Mochi is like a delicious snack, which can be swallowed as long as you stretch out your hand-as early as a few months ago, there were monsters who couldn't hold back and planned to attack him. If it wasn't for him and walnut Just following behind him, I'm afraid that Qin Mochi would be packed and taken home for lunch on the highway that day.It can be said that whether he can live in peace now depends largely on how deterrent the existence of the "Special Affairs Division" is to the monsters.As for Master Faming, although he gave Qin Mochi a string of Buddhist beads, but with his unconcerned manner, Qin Mochi might not be able to count on him if something happened.

"Is it a crime to conceive a bi, I understand." Qin Mochi tried to make himself look more relaxed. He thought of the strange things he encountered on the way back to the city from the suburbs years ago. At this moment, he faintly had an answer to his previous doubts.

Li Yedu patted him on the shoulder, "You can move in and live with me and senior brother."

Xia Zhifei immediately vetoed it, "No way! Could it be that Mochi will live in your house all his life?" He ignored Li Yedu's fierce eyes, put his arm around Qin Mochi's shoulder and said, "Brother has a good idea."
