old grace

Xie Qinghe dragged the Great Demon Venerable into the heart demon pool, and he himself entered the space of the Patriarch in a flash.

Although he has soaked in the Heart Demon Pool and dipped in the pool water, and has not had any adverse reactions, but the Great Demon Venerable showed his Dharma appearance and pushed him into the Heart Demon Pool with the map open, he always felt that something was inappropriate—— What if he can be trapped in the Demon Pool on the map?

Things are in a hurry and restless.Xie Qinghe was completely unsure, it was safer to go back to the Patriarch's space.

Everlasting Grass heard the sound and ran out: "Eldest brother, you came back so quickly! Eldest brother, where did you bring me delicious food?"

Xie Qinghe suddenly remembered that when he left the space, he promised to bring food to the everlasting grass.

For Everlasting Grass, Xie Qinghe only left for a few days.Xie Qinghe has experienced Li Qian and Lu Yuan's two enchantments, and he has spent more than 40 years in his years.Of course, even if he remembered the promise he made more than 40 years ago, how could he care about feeding the everlasting grass if he ran for his life in a hurry?

He searched all over his body, trying to find some snacks to coax the child, inexplicably feeling heavy in his arms, he took it out and took a look——

It turned out to be the magic awl in the hand of the Great Demon Venerable!

Xie Qinghe was in a daze.

Why does he have this magic cone?

Could it be... during the tussle, the Great Demon Venerable, who is the owner of the Demon Awl, let go first?

He slowly pushed back according to his last memory, trying to figure out what happened.

Obviously it was only a moment ago, but it is very difficult to recall.He remembered the feeling of being broken when he fell into the Demon Pool, as if hitting the water surface hard. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was the water surface or his own body that was broken...

Doubt creates demons.

Xie Qinghe's heart trembled, and he immediately strengthened his Dao heart and quickly confirmed his physical condition.

The body is intact, but the spirit is complete.Looking inside, the true essence circled around Xuanchi Zifu, but there was no abnormality.

Xie Qinghe let go of the big stone in his heart.At this moment, he casually dissociated his consciousness and scanned the void where the demon soul was placed.It is similar to the unintentional actions of ghosts and gods, seeking a meaningless peace of mind.

However, this sweep shocked him!

In the blink of an eye, he remembered everything that happened just now!

He grabbed the magic cone of the Great Demon Venerable and brought the Great Demon Venerable into the heart demon pool together.

While falling into the map world of the Inner Demon Pool, his skin was broken once, and strangely put together again.

Xie Qinghe was unprepared for this, his body was shattered and naturally lost all control, the Great Demon Venerable, who had planned ahead, seized this opportunity and took advantage of the situation to smash the magic hammer at the magic cone.

Seeing that the sharpness of the magic awl was about to pierce Xie Qinghe's heart——

Xie Qinghe issued an order from his throat: "Shoot!"

The arrogant and majestic Great Demon Venerable just flew into Xie Qinghe's body.

The Great Demon Lord stayed in the void where Xie Qinghe was supposed to enter the demon to resolve his grievances.

Heavy chains were wrapped around the huge Dharma image of the Great Demon Venerable, and the Great Demon Venerable closed his eyes tightly and fell into a deep sleep.

However, unlike Li Qian, Maruya and others that Xie Qinghe cleaned up, after the Great Demon Venerable was restrained, Xie Qinghe's consciousness only stayed here for a while, and he would have the trouble of becoming a demon immediately.Xie Qinghe immediately closed his consciousness, and got out from the nothingness.

It all happened too fast.

Xie Qinghe had to calm down and completely isolate himself from the influence of the Great Demon Venerable, so he had to temporarily abandon this part of his memory.

It wasn't until now that his mind was settled and his rationality returned, Xie Qinghe checked his body again, and then he remembered all the causes and consequences of the omitted paragraph.

He held the magic awl in his left hand, pulled out his sleeve with his right hand, and actually took out the magic hammer of the Great Demon Venerable...

Seeing these two magical weapons, Xie Qinghe was also at a loss.

There is also a large demon king locked in his body that is not easy to deal with.Why did the situation get out of hand?

and also.

master.younger brother.

Xie Qinghe's eyes were sharp, and he knew very well what the consequences of the tragedy that happened not long ago would lead to.

The palm that Shu Hanyun slapped Shangguan Shiyi was too vicious and hit the nail on the head.Xie Qinghe knew that Master's spine was broken, and Xuanchi must also be shaken.If Shangguan Shiyi was 30 years younger, he might be able to survive such a serious injury.However, he has already lived for three years, and he has entered the period of decay that should be recognized...

Unless Xie Qinghe is on the scene.

Unless Shu Hanyun did not die and came to his senses and tried his best to rescue his mentor, Shangguan Shiyi would never have survived.

Xie Qinghe had a hard time facing Master's death.

I was also afraid of seeing the dead body of my junior brother.

However, what Xie Qinghe is most afraid of is that the master is dead and the junior brother is not dead yet...

When Shangguan Shiyi fought back against Shu Hanyun, he was already seriously injured.Xie Qinghe could see very clearly that the counterattack of his teacher's serious injury was not as powerful as when he was in its heyday, and Shu Hanyun had an obvious move to relieve his force.

——If he was firmly held by Shangguan Shiyi's side, this palm could kill him.However, he flew out.

Therefore, Shu Hanyun is probably not dead yet.

The Evergreen Grass, who was completely ignorant of the inside story, looked at Xie Qinghe eagerly, hoping that the elder brother could touch some "delicious food" from his body.Xie Qinghe didn't even have a candy pill on him, but he handed out the magic cone and hammer he just got, and bullied the children: "Do you want to eat?"

Evergreen muttered angrily, seeing Xie Qinghe sitting at the door in a daze, guessed that he had escaped in, went to wash a peach silently, and said: "Elder brother, you can eat a peach and rest for a while. I'm cooking water, wait I'll make you some tea later."

Xie Qinghe took a bite of the peach and nodded: "Yes. Good."

He also knows how to eat peaches, and Everlasting Grass relieved a little, and stood up happily: "Then I'll cook!"

When he came back with the longevity grass on the tray of tea and rice, Xie Qinghe who was sitting by the door had disappeared.He entered the door and searched around, but saw no one on the left or right, and there was no one in the treasury.Everlasting Grass stomped her feet: "Oh! Why are you leaving again!"

Xie Qinghe felt very strange when he left the Patriarch's space.

No matter from which level of space, Xie Qinghe can understand that he is either in the normal release pool, or in the demon pool, or in the Pangu Villa that he has peeped in the map world of the mind demon pool.

However, after he left the space, he found himself in a wilderness.After climbing two mountains, Xie Qinghe found the official way.

Where there are official roads, there must be cities.

Xie Qinghe walked along the official road, the nearby mountains were quite familiar, and he was even more confused when he walked under the city gate.

He actually arrived at Wuxing City.

The gatekeeper didn't seem to see him at all, allowing him to walk in with a sword in his hand.After entering the city, there were many people coming and going, Xie Qinghe often attracted attention because of his elegant demeanor, and passers-by in Wuxing City seemed to be unable to see him, and walked past him casually.

Xie Qinghe tried to sit down at the tea stall near the city gate. It was not the peak time for entering and leaving the city, and the hawkers at the tea stall were not very busy, but they sat by the stove and looked around without greeting Xie Qinghe.Xie Qinghe tried to pour tea by himself, and even took a steamed bun from the steamer in front of the peddler, neither the peddler nor the guests who came to drink tea seemed to have seen what he did.

Xie Qinghe drank tea and gnawed on the steamed stuffed bun.

Tea, fragrant.

Buns, oil.

Everything he touches is real, except that everyone turns a blind eye to him.

However, this also means nothing.Xie Qinghe has the experience of becoming a demon. He has lived as Li Qian and Lu Yuan for decades, and his daily food and drinks are extremely real.In it, it is impossible to tell what is real and what is false.

The current situation left Xie Qinghe at a loss.

After eating the steamed stuffed bun, Xie Qinghe took off the magic bead on his wrist, put it on the tea table, and asked, "The old resentment devil? Show up immediately."

He also had little hope of communicating.When the old resentment Demon Venerable flew into the magic orb, he tried it out, sealed it tightly, and blocked the inside and outside.Even the real essence can't penetrate into the communication, let alone the voice?

Called again, and waited five breaths.

As soon as the five breaths passed, Xie Qinghe immediately drew his sword and slashed at the rosary that sealed the old resentful Demon Lord.

The old resentful Mozun was so scared that he hurriedly said: "I am here, I am here, I will come out immediately! Don't cut it!"

Xie Qinghe was a little surprised: "Can you hear me?"

At this time, the old resentment Demon Venerable floated out faintly, looking at Xie Qinghe with sad eyes: "I got into the magic bead to escape. Sigh, how would I know... Now that I accidentally know your secret, I think you are getting more and more angry." Won't let me go."

Xie Qinghe also admired him.The old resentment Mozun once pretended to be stupid and sweet when he was in the restaurant, talking nonsense in order to deceive Xie Qinghe, only after being exposed, he returned to his aloofness, and showed no false words to Xie Qinghe.

Well now, it's happening again.

"I have no intention of killing you."

Xie Qinghe just witnessed the tragedy of the teacher's school, and he has worked hard to stabilize his mind, and it is impossible for him to remain emotionally unaffected.

When he said that he didn't want to kill the old resentful Mozun, it wasn't a compromise, it was because he didn't want to kill him in the first place.Having experienced the lives of Li Qian and Lu Yuan, although there was also an unreasonable Maruya, Xie Qinghe did not feel the same cold and murderous spirit as Maruya in the old resentment Demon Lord.

Since the experience of Li Qian and Lu Yuan is the first, Xie Qinghe also has a little "sympathy for the same disease" towards the old resentful Mozun.

If it is possible to turn the old resentful Demon Lord into a "brick" in the mysterious pool in the form of becoming a demon to restore it to normal, Xie Qinghe thinks it is all right.

but.

If the old resentment Mozun is the same as when we first met, pretending to be crazy to Xie Qinghe, talking nonsense, deliberately delaying calculations...

The difference between killing and not killing is nothing more than a sword.

"Tell me first, where is this place?" Xie Qinghe asked.

"Even if I tell you, you still don't believe me. What's the use of asking me?" Old Resentment Mozun asked back.

——Without negotiating good conditions, the old resentment Mozun would not cooperate with Xie Qinghe.

Xie Qinghe thought for a moment, and said his plan truthfully: "I won't kill you, and I can't let you go at will."

"Then..." The Old Resentful Mozun raised his head in astonishment, a little surprised and a little absurd, "You want to save me?"

"I'm a monk, not a Shi family. How can I get you over?" Xie Qinghe knew that the old grievance might be dissatisfied, but he didn't intend to lie and coax him, "You have old grievances, I just want to live again for you. Open it, go and clear your soul to live in style, if you can't think about it..."

"I know, you are unreasonable. If I can't think about it, you will let me burn to ashes like Maruya." The old resentful Mozun said.

Having said that, the Old Resentment Mozun fell into deep thought.

"The Great Demon Venerable pushed you into the chaos between the devil's lair and the human world. This is the time boundary between humans and demons."

"People in it are full of passionate emotions, raging desires, and are most likely to be enchanted. And because the surrounding environment is the same as the real world—" the old resentment Demon Lord pointed to the passers-by on the street and the vendors hawking in the shop, "this place is originally The real world. Therefore, people do not realize that they are possessed."

"Being a man is bound by rules, laws, and sophistication, so it's rare to be free and happy. Becoming a demon is different. Do whatever you want, without fear."

"Here you can see the girl you like but can't get. Follow your heart's desire and directly snatch that girl away. No one can stop you. You can do whatever you want. You see the young man in the yamen that you never dare to offend on weekdays. Hack him to death as you like, and no one will make it difficult for you to convict you... In short, you can do all the things that you can't do or dare to do once you become a demon."

"Once a person falls into a demon and enjoys the happiness of becoming a demon, he will never be a human again."

"The Great Demon Venerable let you fall here because he wanted you to become a demon." The old resentful Demon Venerable said.

Xie Qinghe always felt a little strange that he suddenly became knowledgable.However, when the old resentful Mozun said "follow what one's heart desires" and "do whatever one wants", Xie Qinghe couldn't help but ask, "If this place has become a demon, can you still act from your heart?"

The Old Resentful Mozun couldn't help laughing: "What do you think the devil is? With one move of the hand, people will fall into the mist and obey the call at will? ——How can the heart of a child have evil thoughts? How can an innocent baby be enchanted? , must have a suspicion in the heart, just fell into the devil way."

There must be a suspicion in my heart, and I just fell into the devil's way.

These words rumbled in Xie Qinghe's ears, and he remembered the palm that Shu Hanyun slapped on the waist of his mentor.

"How can I leave this place?" Xie Qinghe asked again.

The old resentment Mozun refused to continue talking.He started talking again.

Xie Qinghe stood in front of the tea stand, the old resentful Mozun first went to pour a bowl of tea, held it in his hand and slowly approached, and said: "The lives of others are not very important after all. Live it casually, or take it seriously." I really tried my best to live it once, and the ending would be completely different.”

He offered the bowl of tea to Xie Qinghe, and offered his own conditions: "If you promise me, live a good life for me, and get rid of those old grievances that I can't forget... If I can't be turned into ashes, I will accept it." You are the master, and you will always be the messenger of the ghost, and you will be sent at will."

Xie Qinghe did not take this cup of tea.Everyone has different ideas, what can be regarded as living a life seriously and doing your best?

The Old Resentment Demon Venerable put his posture very low, and leaned against Xie Qinghe, his knees slightly bent, his hand holding the tea bowl was naturally raised, his slightly gloomy and pale face was also humbly raised, looking forward to it with incomparable meekness and longing. Looking at Xie Qinghe: "I'm not like Maruya. I just ask you to live a good life for me and walk a road I haven't seen. You don't have to do this for me right away."

The old resentful demon gave the most important price: "I can help you leave this place first."

This condition moved Xie Qinghe.After thinking for a while, Xie Qinghe said: "I can only be Xie Qinghe."

The Old Resentment Mozun took advantage of the opportunity and put the tea bowl into his hand, which meant that he agreed with Xie Qinghe's counter-offer and reached the deal.

——He doesn't mind reliving his life in Xie Qinghe's way, he just asks Xie Qinghe to be more serious about his past, be more pious and respectful.

Since he is the Demon Lord with old grievances, the most important thing in his life is to settle the old grievances.

Others... even his own life, had to be avoided.

"There is only one way to leave the heart demon pool, and that is to become a demon." The old resentful demon said.

Xie Qinghe was not satisfied: "There is no unique way in this world."

"Since I said that I will find a way to leave for you, it must satisfy you."

The old resentment Mozun has already started to use honorifics to Xie Qinghe, entering the role ahead of schedule.

"Even if a living person can be blinded by a leaf, a dead thing like the Heart Demon Pool can naturally be blinded. The Heart Demon Pool and the real world are intertwined and infiltrated from time to time. In this world, there are people falling into demons all the time. You just need to put the The fallen man is pulled into the Heart Demon Pool, and if he switches identities with him, he will be able to deceive the Heart Demon Pool and leave smoothly."

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."
