old grace

Demon, a kind of non-human alien that roughly only exists in ancient books.

According to legend, in ancient times, monsters coexisted.

Demons, like humans, are made of flesh and blood and are supported by heaven and earth.People have soul elves, and demons also have soul elves.

The only difference is that demons are slightly lower than humans.The demon beard transforms into a human form, unlocks human intelligence, and puts on human skin before it is qualified to cultivate immortality and enlightenment, ascend to the real world just like human beings.

In the historical records of Zhibaodong of the Hanjiang Sword Sect, there are many powerful deeds recorded by the great sect of the ancient demon sect, and they were also rampant for a while.However, monsters, like all kinds of auspicious beasts in the world, fell and disappeared in large numbers at a certain period of time. The legendary dragons and phoenixes disappeared from the world. disappeared.

"Many ancestors speculated that this part of the records might have been accidentally lost during Tszyu's time. I don't think so."

Shangguan Shiyi habitually wanted to twirl his beard when speaking.When he returned to his youth, he was also very cute. As early as when he was shaving his face, he trimmed the beard that didn't match his young face neatly, and stretched out his hand to pinch it.

It happened that Xie Qinghe handed over the teacup sensiblely, and Shangguan Shiyi took it in his hand without changing his expression, and continued: "The human world is the origin of the six realms. Immortals are the auspiciousness of human beings, ghosts are the destruction of human beings, and the six realms of heaven are all transformed by human beings. After all, gods and ghosts all come from people.”

"Only the monster race is different."

"The demon is the essence of livestock, and the heresy of beasts. Relying on the power of the heaven and the earth, it is barely shaped into a human form. It learns the language of a human being, resembling a human form, and then competes for the fate of the heaven and earth with a hypocritical human body, and it is actually equal to that of a human being."

Shangguan Shiyi held the teacup and shook his head: "Thinking that our ancestors mend the sky and rule the level of the catastrophe of demons. Since ten thousand years ago, have we ever suffered any losses? Which one is easy to get along with? From what I can see, in ancient times there must have been one After a great battle, the demon clan was defeated, the inheritance was cut off, and there will be no demon cultivators after that. Otherwise, [-] books have been lost in Zhibao Cave, so how can they just throw away all records related to demons?"

Xie Qinghe nodded, and said: "I once visited the old collection of Zhibao Cave 7000 years ago. Due to my lack of knowledge, I haven't seen many stories about demon cultivators. Zhibao Cave was burned in 900 years ago. Before, it must have little to do with this."

Shangguan Shiyi suddenly remembered that the great apprentice was often possessed by demons, and he didn't know if he had passed through a sieve through the world of thousands of years.

"So, you haven't seen records related to demon cultivators?" Shangguan Shi Yi asked.

"I only know that the ancient times ran rampant for a while, and then disappeared suddenly, and I don't know where to go." Xie Qinghe shook his head.If he knew the ins and outs of the demon cultivator, he would have come directly to Shangguan Shiyi to report the situation, so there was no need for the master and apprentice to sit and chat.

That is to say, the people who killed the demon cultivator completely in the past were absolutely dead, and would never be revived. Therefore, there is no record of dealing with the demon cultivator at all—the threat that has disappeared and does not exist. It should completely disappear in the long river of history, not worth mentioning.

Shangguan Shiyi pondered for a moment, and said: "The so-called ghost trouble has not yet shown its traces. The most urgent thing is to get rid of the ghost trouble first."

"I have asked my junior brother to check the documents from the outer sect. If there are any discrepancies in different places, I will definitely report to the sect for help. This disciple has figured out the ins and outs of the Qi-seeking Demon Flower in the past two days, and see if I can simplify it into a small technique talisman paper to carry with me." , and then send a letter to colleagues from all over the world to come to Hanshan to study the method of self-protection." Xie Qinghe replied.

Shangguan Shiyi didn't have anything to add, so he said, "Go and do your work."

When he angrily demanded Xie Qinghe's execution yesterday, Shiqin passed away after losing his temper, and did not force Xie Qinghe to act.

Xie Qinghe didn't get more guidance in the Feixian Caolu, and after returning to the observatory with a heavy heart, the junior brother was still busy and didn't come back.After Yun Chao cooked, he casually ate a couple of mouthfuls, and began to study the ghost flower that the little chubby girl had grown.

Xie Qinghe was still an ordinary monk when he sealed the demon back then, and Shangguan Shiyi told him that Shiyan Demon Flower could find the direction of the Demon Cave, so he carried the Demon Flower all the way to Longcheng. Twenty-two years have passed, and Xie Qinghe's knowledge of practice has far surpassed that of the past, and his understanding of soul and magic thoughts is the No. 22 in the world.

He is not willing to put the hope of detecting ghosts and demonic thoughts on a pot of flowers. All ghosts and demonic thoughts can be traced, why can't they be traced by magic?

In essence, the pot of magic flowers cultivated by the little fat girl is a "vessel".

Xie Qinghe is good at making utensils, how could he let others.

He witnessed with his own eyes the process of the little fat girl cultivating the ghost flower, and the soul power of Zhenlu is a commonly used thing at hand.The only thing that made Xie Qinghe unclear about the origin and attribute was the piece of moss that the little fat girl shoveled down from the reincarnation tree.

Xie Qinghe went to the space again, and stood under the reincarnation tree for a while, trying to sense consciousness with the reincarnation tree.

As before, the tree of reincarnation was silent, without any response.

——The little chubby girl can contact the tree of reincarnation, but the tree of reincarnation cannot contact Xie Qinghe, presumably not because of ignorance, but unwillingness.

The little chubby girl carefully stood not far away and looked around, Xie Qinghe stopped dawdling, bent down and tore a piece of moss from the reincarnation tree, turned and left the space.

He put the ghost flower on the table, and put the true dew and moss aside. He controlled the ghost energy on the flower stem with his fingertips, and concentrated on savoring and analyzing it.At this moment, the Hanjiang seal that he hung in the sky of the observatory sometimes trembled, sometimes heaved and contracted, and was very sensitive to spy on the escaping ghost energy.

Yun Chao was sitting on the edge of the terrace, holding a long sword in his arms, looking at the vast Hanjiang River in the distance.

The sun has set.

Yun Chao wiped away the dirt hole poked out by the scabbard with his feet, got up and went into the kitchen to make dinner.

The meal at noon was barely moved, Yun Chao steamed the meat and vegetables, the rice was steamed fragrant, and freshly cut some kimchi.After bringing it inside, Xie Qinghe was still staring at the pot of magic flowers.He put the food on the tea table on a tray, and lit all the lamps in the room.

"Master, the meal is ready." Yun Chao reminded.

Xie Qinghe hummed, and it seemed that he didn't care about eating.

Yun Chao went to the kitchen to eat, and when he entered the door, he found that Xie Qinghe was still studying the potted flower in the same posture, and the food was still on the tray, motionless.He reminded again: "Master, the rice is getting cold, can I steam it for you again?"

Xie Qinghe said perfunctorily: "No need. I'll eat it later."

Knowing that he couldn't be persuaded, Yun Chao went out and sat down on the terrace again, his eyes fell on the small slope where the observatory entered.

... When will the little master come back?Does anyone else take care of the master's meal?

Unfortunately, after waiting and waiting, Fu Chuan was too busy to touch the ground, and had no time to come back.

Yun Chao sat on the balcony with his sword in his arms for a long time. When he was tired, he lay down and looked at the stars in the sky. When he was tired of looking at the stars, he looked at Xie Qinghe's Hanjiang seal hanging in the sky. When the moon was in the middle of the sky, he got up again and went to the kitchen Open the damper of the stove, steamed the rest of the meal, and sent it steaming hot to the house, replacing the already cold dinner.

"Master, the time is coming to an end. Even if you don't rest tonight, you should at least have a meal." Seeing that Xie Qinghe turned a deaf ear to it, Yun Chao thought for a while and said, "If my little master knows that you missed a meal, I will give you a meal in the future." I'm afraid I won't be able to do things outside with peace of mind, and I'm thinking about coming back to serve meals at some point."

Xie Qinghe never expected that there would be a day when he would be held hostage by Junior Brother Yun Chaona, so he looked up at him, and finally let go temporarily.

Yun Chao immediately went to bring a basin and help him wash his hands.

Xie Qinghe got up and changed his position, picked up his rice bowl and ate two mouthfuls, just as he was about to make a quick decision, Yun Chao brought him another soup.He took two sips of soup.Yun Chao bent over to serve the dishes again.Xie Qinghe knew that he was kind, so he sat down and ate a meal with peace of mind.

After the meal, Yun Chao first served Xie Qinghe to rinse his mouth, brought tea, and then took the food dishes back to the kitchen to wash.

Xie Qinghe really wanted to stay up late to study the pot of magic flowers, so he told Yun Chao to rest by himself, Yun Chao agreed, and still sat on the balcony outside the door with his sword in his arms.His fingertips still had traces of being burned by the sky thunder, like a wounded animal licking the wound, and he unconsciously put his finger between his lips and teeth to lick it lightly, with a little daze and helplessness remaining in his heart .

Xie Qinghe's abnormal phenomenon before and after the resumption of swallowing demons, is it really normal for him to change his fate inexplicably against the sky and be reborn in this world?Yun Chao didn't know.Xie Qinghe treats him as always, without any suspicion or suspicion, but Yun Chao is very worried about his origin.

——The master has been enchanted many times, why am I so lucky?Why did you just change my life?

—Is it really a coincidence that I came into this world?

Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan were busy both up and down the mountain. The next day, Xie Qinghe's research had results first.

Yun Chao was preparing breakfast in the kitchen when he suddenly heard three strange movements: the stellar energy in the master's house, the cold river seal hanging outside the sky crazily swallowing sword energy, and Shiqin next door who should have been drowsy fell directly to the ground!

Without saying a word, Yun Chao put down the big spoon in his hand, went through the window and went to the next door.

Shi Qinlian was rolling on the ground with the quilt, and was leaning over to vomit, and what he vomited was all black, red and foul-smelling filth.

Seeing that he had vomited cleanly, Yun Zhao didn't rush to help him up, but supported him with one hand and patted his back with the other, helping him vomit.

Shi Qin coughed while spitting, his face turned red from holding back, Yun Chao patted at the right time, and the filth that he couldn't spit out was sprayed out, saving a lot of effort.

Here it is vomiting.

The Hanjiang seal hanging outside the door has gone from crazy to calm, and the wind has stopped.

Xie Qinghe has also cleaned up the dissipated demon flower and ghost aura. There are three jade talismans on the left side of the table, and four yellow paper cinnabar talismans on the right hand.

"Okay?" Yun Chao looked at Shi Qin's face, helped him back to the bed and sat down, "Sit down for a while, I'll get you some water to rinse your mouth."

There is only yesterday's leftover cold tea in the room here, Yun Chao randomly poured him a cup to rinse his mouth, Shi Qin didn't pay much attention to it.After spitting out the stinky stuff in his mouth, Shi Qin held the teacup in his hand, looked at the rising sun outside the window, and remained silent for a long time.

Yun Chao wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "Lie down a little longer. Breakfast will be served, shall we eat bean dregs and meatloaf?"

This is a very usual breakfast at the Observatory.After the soy milk is ground, the remaining bean dregs are mixed with minced meat flour, and cooked oil is used to fry it carefully on an iron plate until it is burnt, and it is served with bean porridge, vegetarian soup, or salty and sweet soy milk.Both Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan like to eat, and the observatory often cooks.

Shi Qin didn't live in the observatory for a long time, but he spent a lot of time eating.

A sentence of bean dregs meat pie reminded Shi Qin of all kinds of past events in the observatory, and for a while, ups and downs came one after another.

"Eat." Shi Qin gathered his mind and stood up supporting his newly recovered body from serious injuries, "I want to eat."

Inexplicably, the death thoughts lingering in my heart suddenly disappeared.

Xie Qinghe has already tidied up the countertops in the house, and is copying and arranging the talismans for identifying ghost energy and magic thoughts.

Ordinary people's practice of talisman is just based on the scriptures and learned from their ancestors. Xie Qinghe's understanding of practice has reached the point where he knows why. In his opinion, any mysterious and mysterious magic can deconstruct its root and inner, and can find ghost energy The magic flower is also a truth.

At this moment, the ghost flower has been dismantled by him into talisman and Taoism that can be used, and it is only waiting to be taught to his disciples and spread all over the world.

Yun Chao came in with breakfast and asked, "Master, do you want to eat inside?"

Xie Qinghe finished writing the last word, washed his hands and went out, stretched his muscles rarely, and said, "Shi Qin woke up?"

Yun Chao signaled outside the door: "I vomited out a lot of dirty things, ate tea, cakes, and two bowls of porridge. I'll come in and see you when the master is free."

"Come in." Xie Qinghe ordered.

Both doors were open, Xie Qinghe didn't deliberately whisper when he spoke, Shi Qin heard the order outside the door, and walked in quickly.

Before Shiqin bowed his knees to see him, Xie Qinghe indicated the seat in front of him: "Eat something if you're not full, and have a cup of tea when you're full. I have something to ask you."

Shi Qin was familiar with his uncompromising temper, so he sat down at the dining table obediently, and Yun Chao poured him a cup of tea. A saucer of soy sauce was passed over.

——It's too familiar to get along with each other.Shi Qin knew Xie Qinghe's eating habits clearly.

"Don't want to die?" Xie Qinghe asked.

Shi Qin lowered his head in shame: "If the real master of the sect pardons the sinners, I would like to serve the sect with the rest of my life and pay for my previous crimes."

"You know your position in the outer sect these years, you know it yourself. I single-handedly promoted you, and the younger brother trusted you. At this time, something went wrong. Is it because I don't know people or the younger brother is incompetent? Whatever you do, I will protect you." Xie Qinghe said.

This so-called "feeling" is naturally still based on Yan Buqian's affection.

Shi Qin said in a low voice, "Disciple is ashamed."

"It's good that you survived and didn't feel sad and begged to die." Xie Qinghe said.

This made Shi Qin feel even more ashamed, stood up and bowed to salute: "Elder brother is merciful and merciful, the sinner is ashamed."

"Thinking about it, you also know that the current situation is not good. When the sect is employing people, I am afraid that there will be more troubles--only the Star Observation Tower and Feixian Caolu know about your affairs, and you have to keep your mouth shut. Besides...you There is no need to blame yourself too deeply. Demons are also confused. Since you have been deceived by demons, how can you not fall? Becoming a demon is like being wounded. After healing the wound, you are still your own person." Xie Qinghe said.

Shi Qin originally thought that even if he was lucky enough to survive, he would be severely punished by the sect, and at worst would be scorned by Xie Qinghe.

Unexpectedly, Xie Qinghe had obtained his confession, and he was still gentle and kind to him, without any harshness.This made Shi Qin feel very complicated, bowed his head and said: "Yes, yes. The disciple obeys."

"There is a talisman I wrote in the house. You wear a jade talisman on your body, it can drive away evil spirits and resist demons." Xie Qinghe said.

Shi Qin knew that this was a blatant test, to check whether the evil thoughts on his body were cleared.With a promise, he went in and found Xie Qinghe's writing desk. He hesitated for a moment when he saw the jade talisman, but finally held it in the palm of his hand and put it on his waist.

After going out, he showed the jade talisman to Xie Qinghe for inspection: "Brother."

Xie Qinghe nodded: "I hope you don't think I'm too offensive." As soon as he finished speaking, a sword energy flew into the jade talisman.

This sword energy follows the jade talisman day and night, once Shi Qin takes off the jade talisman, Xie Qinghe will know it immediately.

Shi Qin said sincerely: "Student, how dare you not know what is good and what is bad. Senior brother used the jade talisman to protect the disciple, and the disciple will remember it in his heart and never dare to forget it."

He is an unlucky guy who was captured by Liku and fell into the ghost realm. Even he doesn't know how, when and where he fell into the devil.

Xie Qinghe bestowed the jade talisman first and then the sword qi, which can be said to be well-intentioned, and protected him so tightly, how could he resent that Xie Qinghe didn't trust him - he didn't even trust himself, and just needed someone to support him.

"It seems that your injury is almost healed. If you don't go to the outer door for a few days, you will be suspicious. You should go to work earlier." Xie Qinghe ordered.

Shi Qin promised, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Shall I go alone?"

"Shall I send someone to detain you again?" Xie Qinghe asked back.

Shi Qin was really shocked by Xie Qinghe's generosity.

After he caused such a big incident and fell into the ghost realm, he had all kinds of resentment towards the sect, and even thought of killing Li Nanfeng to silence his words.

Xie Qinghe still ignored the previous suspicions and told him to go to the outer door to watch things as usual.In the past two years, he has been extremely powerful in the outer sect, is the elder brother really so indifferent and unguarded?

"Go." Xie Qinghe stood up and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him, "I'm watching you, don't be afraid."

Xie Qinghe is not arrogant and confident, nor does he trust Shi Qin's willpower so much.It's just that over the years, he has been in and out of demons, danced with demons and sympathized with them, and has come into contact with too many demons. No one in this world knows what a fallen demon is better than him.

If it weren't for the gap in the heart, how could the evil thought be so easy to take advantage of it?

Shi Qin was overly sad at the beginning, and lost his faith in the rivers and lakes, and just now he was burdened by the pain of leaving, and fell into the ghost world unintentionally.

Now the evil thoughts in his body have been completely eliminated by Xie Qinghe, and his body has returned to normal under the nourishment of Tianlei Huashui. In addition to the normal life in Hanshan these years, he has a good career, a future, and the support of his teachers and friends, and his heart is righteous If it is full, it will be difficult for the magic thoughts to harass.

——Even if the demonic thoughts try to harass him, it is impossible to quickly erode his will and make him fall into the demon instantly.The devil's lair is gone, the big devil and the little devil are all eaten by Xie Qinghe, how can there be a powerful demon in this world who can forcibly snatch people's skins and force them to become demons?

Of course, there really is such a "devil master" who is not afraid of death, who dares to catch the disciples of the Hanjiang Sword Sect and squeeze him desperately...

Xie Qinghe didn't mind having a home delivery before going down the mountain to hunt.

Just after Shi Qin thanked him again and again, when he was about to go out, Xie Qinghe suddenly said: "Let junior brother come back, I have something to explain."
