Chapter 298: Transforming Monsters, Tai Sui's Skin
As the sun rises, the sunset shines, and the frost on the leaves of thousands of years old trees reflects mottled spots.
On the third day after the Battle of Snow Mountain, the three brothers finally woke up. There was no absolute winner in that battle. Although the demon star Tai Sui, who fell from the sky, died, the "demon star" that appeared from the world made a comeback.
After this battle, all the three brothers were seriously injured, especially Li Hanshan. Fortunately, he was determined and did not swallow his heart by the demonic energy and blood. This was also a little comfort to him by fate.
Early in the morning, Liu Bolun, who woke up from his fainting, was like Shisheng before. He ignored his broken leg bones and had to see Li Hanshan. Seeing that the two members of the alliance who could not persuade him, he helped him and limped to the outside of the wooden house.
"Hanshan!" Liu Bolun pushed open the door and shouted anxiously.
He was naturally worried about Li Hanshan's situation. He had to know that Tai Sui was not a joke. It was because Liu Bolun had experienced it personally that he was so scared at this time. When he pushed them away anxiously, he found that the bonfire in the house was booming, and Li Hanshan, with a haggard face, was sitting next to the fire, drinking the freshly cooked porridge with Shisheng.
Seeing that Liu Bolun was coming, the two looked up and grinned with him. Just like this, Liu Bolun felt extremely comforted, as if a mountain pressed on his heart collapsed. It was great. Brothers are fine, it’s fine if it’s fine!
Because, now they really have no way to face any separation from life and death.
"You boy." Liu Bolun wiped the corners of his eyes, then choked and cursed: "It's really his grandma's life."
After saying that, he was helped over and sat beside the two of them, saying to Li Hanshan: "It's so good. Even the Tai Sui demonic aura cannot do anything to you. What does Tai Sui meat taste like? Have you tasted salty?"
"It hurts, it hurts." Li Hanshan grinned and avoided Liu Bolun's big hand, then tucked the monk's robe he draped on him again. Then he said to him: "It's just not delicious anyway, drunk, are you okay? I think your injury is quite serious."
"It can be cured by applying this little bit of injury." Liu Bolun said to Li Hanshan: "It's you, I just heard that you made a big fuss last night, how did you handle it in the end?"
When he asked this, Shisheng and Naokong in the room laughed and cried. However, Li Hanshan's expression was very calm, and he said lightly: "Tai Sui has grown a demonic energy in my body, and I have left it in my dream."
Li Hanshan sucked nearly 60% of the demonic energy of Tai Sui. Not only that, in order not to give it a chance to breathe, Li Hanshan also devoured most of his flesh and blood. These demonic energy and demonic blood are not something that a person can bear. It is also thanks to Li Hanshan being a double apocalypse. We have also introduced before that he was born with more life in his brain than ordinary people. So when the Tai Sui demonic energy eroded his body, the two apocalypse forces in his body subconsciously began to resist. After merging with the demonic energy, the nightmare formed.
If Li Hanshan is controlled by a dream, his mind will always linger in the dream. Not only that, when he wakes up, he will be controlled by the inner demon and become a new generation of Tai Sui demon star. But Li Hanshan finally survived this level. At that critical moment in the dream, he finally recognized his "Tao", and his spiritual power was unprecedentedly powerful. It was with this determination that Li Hanshan turned the world in one fell swoop, turning the power of Tai Sui in his body into himself and counterattacked, which sealed the breeding of "heart demon" in his dream.
But everything has its pros and cons. Although Li Hanshan successfully sealed the inner demon and most of the demonic energy into his heart dream, he was always a mortal body. How could he not rest and fall asleep in his life? But from that moment on, as long as Li Hanshan fell asleep, he would face the situation of fighting with his own inner demon.
And once he loses, the Tai Sui inner demon will reoccupy his body. In a sense, it is an endless battle until he dies.
After learning about this, the faces of several people looked very heavy. However, Li Hanshan didn't take this to heart. He only smiled, then carried Shisheng and Liu Bolun's shoulders and said with a smile: "Well, this is the best result for me. Anyway, I often have weird dreams, so just treat it as a pastime in my dreams. If I can defeat it once, I can defeat it all the time. Do you believe it?"
He was quite open-minded. Seeing that he was in a good mood, everyone's hearts calmed down a little. Liu Bolun looked at Li Hanshan carefully, and then said to him with some confusion: "Why do you feel like you have changed after a sleep? You didn't have this personality before. I said, are you Li Hanshan?"
Of course, Li Hanshan smiled bitterly and said, "If I were Tai Sui, I would have eaten you two long ago."
"I didn't mean that." Liu Bolun blinked, and Li Hanshan sighed softly: "I understand, I haven't changed, I just thought about something after going through that dream."
"I'll think it's okay." Nankong, who was standing beside him, couldn't help laughing at this time. After Li Hanshan woke up, the seventeen monks were resting elsewhere due to serious internal injuries, and Nankong stayed. Seeing that the three brothers were having a good chat, he smiled and said, "My master said that the most feared person in his life is that he can't think it's right. The reason why many eminent monks and masters have achieved success is because they have been enlightened. However, Hanshan, I have seen you so energetic for the first time. Now you are like this, I'm sure you're better than Chen Daxia..."
Before he finished speaking, he was shocked and cursed in his heart: Damn, why don’t I open the pot?
He already knew that Chen Tunan sacrificed himself to defend the right path, and there was no need to say much about Chen Tunan's relationship with the three brothers. Now that he was saying the wrong words, how sad should the three brothers be?
Sure enough, after hearing the three words "Chen Daxia", Shisheng and Liu Bolun's faces changed. Even though they saved their lives now, what followed would be the fate of fighting to the death with "Chen Tunan".
Especially Li Hanshan, among the few, he and Chen Tunan have the deepest relationship. Isn’t it too cruel to let him fight with his most respected brother?
And just then, Li Hanshan smiled softly, and then said calmly: "It's okay, Master Nankong, don't worry. I'm fine."
Li Hanshan already knew what Chen Tunan had happened. From his dream, he had an answer. He said softly: "I believe that the senior brother will never be defeated by the Tai Sui and the old thief Qiao. I believe that from the past to now, and then in the future, we will unconditionally believe that the senior brother is not dead. He is fighting the evil man now, so we must also keep up with his footsteps as soon as possible. I believe that we will definitely defeat the evil thief in the end and end this chaotic world."
This is Li Hanshan's persistence. After listening to Li Hanshan's words, Liu Bolun's sadness faded away but his passion gradually emerged. Shisheng was very glad that Li Hanshan could think so, because this was what he thought in his heart. He would never forget that evening. The eldest brother sacrificed himself for them, and he vowed to save the brother!
“I believe it too.”
“I believe it too.”
After saying this, the three brothers looked at each other, and then they cheered up again and vowed to truly defeat the source of this troubled world. At that moment, this chaotic world officially entered the countdown.
Everything has gradually become clear, and what the three of them have to face next is the real, final confrontation between good and evil.
They believed they could do it, so the three of them smiled again. After eating porridge, they filled their stomachs. After chatting for a while, they suddenly heard Xiaobai's voice coming from outside the door: "Brother Shisheng, you're full, there's still porridge and rice in the stove. Well, your clothes are torn. All the spare clothes are used up. Sister Zhiyuan and I sewed a few more pieces for you, and then outside the door, come out and take them."
After hearing this, Shisheng and others realized that they were all wearing clothes, especially Li Hanshan, who was wearing a monk's robe, but it was still Nankong took off his body. Logically speaking, they also prepared a lot of clothes for him when they came to the north this time, but now there is not a single one left. Who is the culprit?
Liu Bolun smiled awkwardly. For him, even if he prepares more clothes, it is useless, because he can't help but want to bare his shirt as soon as he tries to do it. This move made the White Donkey Lady cheap, but it gave Xiaobai and Zhiyuan a headache. It is said that although the few people are awake now, the injuries on their bodies cannot be underestimated. Now they are at the weakest time. They can't help much, so they can only do their best to warm the three of them.
Now, before Zaisheng and the others woke up, Zhiyuan went out with a short sword, hit many jackals and beasts in the forest, peeled off their fur, and asked Xiaobai to make a few robes to cover the bodies of several people.
Everyone was naked, so Xiaobai was embarrassed to come in. A famous monk held the robes into the house and touched the soft robes. Shisheng felt warm in his heart. He thought that he wanted to bring the two of them, but he failed to take good care of them along the way, which made Shisheng feel guilty. Wait a little longer, when everything is over, we will fly away together and live the light and peaceful days.
At that time, Shisheng was stunned at the robe in his hand, and Liu Bolun had already put it on his body, praising it warmly, and asked whether he wanted to wear it. Nankong heard it and called Amitabha Buddha. He was also a high monk now, and his murderous aura on his body was greatly reduced. Just as the few people were joking, Li Hanshan suddenly exclaimed!
At the same time, a blue-green light flashed, covering the house with a strange tone. Everyone was shocked and looked back in a hurry, but saw the naked Li Hanshan with a terrified face and his mouth was open and he was looking at it. Not far away was the leather robe.
It turned out that Li Hanshan took the leather robe and wanted to put it on his body, but as soon as he tried to force it, he pulled the wound under his left rib. The crystalline substances on Li Hanshan's body had already weathered as he woke up, leaving only two pieces, like scars sticking to his left rib. As soon as Li Hanshan put on his robe, a piece of crystal fell off his hand.
As soon as it landed, the jade-like leather actually emitted light, and a corner of the leather robe was just on the jade. When the two things came into contact with each other, a strange change occurred! Li Hanshan only felt a demonic aura emitted from his robe. He was shocked and hurriedly threw the robe out.
The robe fell to the ground, and the corner of the clothes began to squirm at a speed visible to the naked eye! A dark purple sarcoma the size of a palm arched from the corner of the clothes, and the sarcoma looked a bit like a human face!
What happened? What was going on? The sarcoma was actually a demonic energy? A monster was born on the robe?!
Not to mention the size of the demonic aura, everyone was shocked after seeing this incredible thing. Shisheng suddenly remembered what they had encountered when they first met Tai Sui in the Northern Kingdom Palace, so he hurriedly said: "Hanshan! That piece of skin! Your piece of skin can produce monsters!"
That’s right, Li Hanshan was eroded by the demonic energy of Tai Sui, and what is left at the wound is the same as Tai Sui. Looking back on the changes in Tai Sui during the previous battle, I think this should be the appearance of Tai Sui’s body. This piece of Tai Sui’s skin and flesh can breed evil and evil!!
Li Hanshan also thought of this, but at this moment, the sarcoma that had expanded to the size of a washbasin suddenly swelled. Pus splashed everywhere, and a child with a light purple color curled up in it. The child first trembled, then his body grew bigger and bigger, and made a loud cry!
"Monster!!" Nankong was shocked. Although the child had just been born, he was a real little monster! Seeing that there was a monster in the house, Nankong hurriedly took out the demon-subduing pestle from the side. Because all the people were unable to move, Nankong had to throw the demon-subduing pestle towards Hanshan: "Hanshan! Eliminate demons!!"
This sudden change made everyone feel helpless, and Li Hanshan subconsciously took the demon-subduing pestle, and then instinctively attacked the little demon!
But his hand was raised above his head, and he couldn't tremble while he couldn't do anything.
Seeing that he was frozen there, he hurriedly shouted: "Hanshan, what's wrong with you! How can you not remove the evil spirits that are born from Tai Sui!"
Yes, this little monster is born from the flesh of Tai Sui. They have also seen the power of this monster, but why, why can't Li Hanshan take action now?
"I know too." Looking at the little demon, Li Hanshan suddenly felt sad. Then he said tremblingly: "But, but it has never done anything bad. What's the difference between it and a human child? How can I kill it!?"
When a person is born, he is good. When he is born, he has no concept of good and evil. Therefore, there are no absolute bad people in this world. There are only good people who have become bad due to environment or other factors. People are like this, but what about monsters? As Li Hanshan said, although this little guy is a monster, it was born because of Li Hanshan. Can they only kill it with the idea of "race"?
How can a person become a person if he does not do good? How can a demon be called a demon if he does not do evil?
With a clang, the demon-subduing pestle fell to the ground. Li Hanshan sighed, and Naokong was about to speak, but Shisheng waved his hand at him. After so many years, how could they not tell the difference between people and monsters? Looking back on the scene of Ma Cheng back then, Chen Tunan's tears were still in front of him, so Shisheng sighed lightly and said, "Forget it, if you kill it, then what's the difference between us and the evil one?"
"How can I deal with it if I don't kill it?" Nankong said with a laugh and crying: "Do you have to raise it? Oh my God, if my master knew that I raised monsters, they would definitely beat me to death. No, it would be light. They would definitely punish me to copy scriptures three hundred times, three hundred times! It would be better to beat me…………………………”
"What are you thinking about here?" Liu Bolun said speechlessly: "I didn't ask you to raise it, and we don't need to raise it. Judging from the growth of this little ghost, I'm worried that I'll run faster than us in just two days. Just teach it to be a human being, no, it's the principle of being a demon."
That's it.
Li Hanshan looked at them, Shisheng and Liu Bolun smiled at him, Li Hanshan nodded gratefully, and at this moment, the little monster had grown to the same age as a six or seven-year-old child. After crying enough, it got up and looked at the few people in fear. Li Hanshan whispered to it: "Don't be afraid, can you understand what I said?"
The little monster nodded, then said dumbly: "Who are you? Who am I?"
It was indeed a piece of white paper, so Li Hanshan said, "It doesn't matter who I am, but what I want to say to you next is something very important to you. Well, first, give you a name first... Shisheng, where are we now?"
"Under the snow-capped mountain, there is an old forest next to the Yehu Village." Shisheng said: "The house was too far away before, so everyone has built several wooden houses here."
"Jianhu Village, Yanhu Village." Li Hanshan muttered about this village while looking at the fur coat. The piece of leather that gave birth to this little monster happened to be a fox skin, so Li Hanshan said to the little monster: "From today, you can call it 'ye fox', fox', do you understand?"
Li Hanshan is indeed not good at naming, but the little monster transformed from fox fur seems to like this name very much. After getting the name, it stepped forward intimately and gently rubbed Li Hanshan's legs with his face. Li Hanshan touched the little monster and secretly swears in his heart: I must teach it the correct truth so that it can become a good monster.
So, during the days of recuperation, Li Hanshan, Shisheng and others took this opportunity to instill some ideas in the chamber pot. This idea is very simple, and in summary, it is: You can live in peace and not harm others.
As long as you can live happily, you cannot harm other existences.
This is also the principle of being a human being. Xiaoyehu learned it very quickly, and within ten days, he was already the same as a normal mortal in every move. He was very pleased with this. If all the monsters in this world could do this, then the difference between humans and monsters would be useless. How good would it be?
Although everyone liked this Xiaoyehu very much. As the injuries of several people gradually healed, they still had to face the battle they had to face, so the time for separation came.
Before leaving, Li Hanshan patted Xiaoyehu's shoulder and said to it: "From now on, you will have to live here by yourself, remember what I said. If it is necessary, don't harm other lives, especially people. If you hurt someone, you will definitely cause a lot of trouble. Do you understand?"
Xiaoye Fox nodded with tears in his eyes, and saw its expression showing strength in its forbearance. Li Hanshan felt very sad. This child was very sensible. In the past half month, they had become its relatives. Now that they left, the little guy had to face the world of ice and snow alone. It was unique, and the unique price was loneliness. How could he not understand this principle? But it did not mean to stop a few people from leaving.
But the soft-hearted Li Hanshan felt the more he felt more and more reluctant. Until the end, he sighed, took out the two pieces of Tai Sui skin in his arms, took one and placed it on Yehu's hand, and told it: "Remember, you can only use it again, don't get dirt. Do you understand, do you understand, child?"
He finally couldn't bear to be alone in the night fox, so he left a piece of Tai Sui skin for it. He did this as a poison, but he believed that this child would not disappoint him.
Xiao Yehu took the Tai Sui skin with both hands and nodded heavily to Li Hanshan with tears in his eyes. At this time, the righteous alliances were ready, so Li Hanshan had to bear it, touched Xiao Yehu's head, and then turned around and left.
Shisheng and the others set out on the road again, and looking at their far away backs, the strong Xiaoyehu couldn't help but shed tears.
Let me say something else outside the topic. Since then, Xiaoyehu has indeed remembered Li Hanshan's instructions. The Taisui skin has only been used once. But it happened that the Nighthun that was born from the fox skin was actually a female. Since then, these two chamber pots depend on each other. Due to their special physique, if they want to reproduce, they must parasitize their children on monkeys. For monsters like Yehu, this is really helpless. In this way, they migrate to a warm place in the south. Through reproduction, the monster clan, which is breeding from the Taisui skin, has become stronger. In ancient times, ghost legends such as "savages" and "mountain charms" often appeared in the mountains and forests. Some of these legends refer to their clan.
The Night Fox clan abides by the promises of his ancestors and only moves in the mountains and forests to feed, which does not harm human lives. But ironically, they do not harm people, but are indirectly harmed by people. In ancient times, there were many monkeys in the forests. Later, due to climate and man-made factors, there were fewer and fewer monkeys in the mountains and forests of their clan. The Night Fox clan was facing a catastrophe. In the end, there was no way. Some Night Fox clan had to parasitize their fetus on humans, which was a tragedy. Because of this, due to the political influence of later generations, they were chased by many "Yin and Yang Mr.", even though the last group of Night Fox fled back to their hometown in the north, they did not escape the end of extinction.
This was exactly what Li Hanshan said when he parted, but Li Hanshan could never have imagined this.
When they left, the sun had just risen. The direction they were moving was the east where the sun was rising. Now Qiao Zi has obtained the power of Tai Sui and Chen Tunan's body. The old thief may not be able to digest such great favors for a while. However, this old thief is perfectly compatible with the malicious intention of Tai Sui. The demonic power that can be used is obvious to everyone. I am afraid that in their current state, they will not be able to fight against that old man at all. Therefore, there is only one urgent task in front of them, which is to send people to investigate the whereabouts of the old thief and use all their means to find the last Three Treasures in the chaotic world.
Perhaps only by finding the last magic weapon can you obtain the true power of these magic weapons as described in the prophecy.
But where is the Hunyuan Two Realms Pen? Is the answer to this mystery still lies in Qingshuang?
