Chapter 40 (9)
Xuan Shuang waved her hand and said, "Okay, do you think I don't understand what it is? Humph, I like being someone else's master so much!"
Hehehe, he said, "You only see the surface phenomenon, but never analyze the essence. Oh, how can a good leader not understand it so much? Mosquitoes and flies are not the same, but they are similar in size, just like a few gangsters killing in a mess. The outcome is unpredictable. Although the two crickets are different in size, they belong to the same type. If either side can work harder, it is not impossible to have a companion. But in another case, what if a cricket deals with a wolf dog? What about a person? Even if a cricket fights a cricket, he can't fight a lie.
You have no objection to the child lying on the hospital bed? That's because no matter how hard a cricket works, it is a cricket after all, and its ability is limited and it will never be able to break through. As a human, you can cross the limit of a cricket without any effort. Therefore, the battle between humans and crickets is disdainful in your eyes. The difference between humans and demons is just like this, but the weight occupied by humans is slightly reversed. Now you know, demons are demons, and mortals can never overcome them. No matter how hard you work, it doesn't work. You can't be his opponent."
When Li Yijie heard his words, a strong sense of injustice arose in his heart and said, "If human power is destined to be unable to defeat the demon, why should you let me give you the opportunity to fight? Do you have a way?"
Xuan Shuang smiled and said, "I just explained to you that if you want to surpass creatures of different races, there are only two ways. One is to become a similar species, and the other is to practice harder and enter a more powerful race. The highest level is naturally a god. But if ordinary people want to become gods, it is simply a dream. Even if you practice cultivation first, you will have to have a few hundred years, and you still have to have a deep opportunity. When you reach a certain stage of cultivation, you will be able to ascend to an immortal after a few major heavenly tribulations. It is still unknown whether you can become a god after another thousand years. Maybe you can live as long as he is, but at that time, I am afraid that the ground would have been ruined into a wasteland. Therefore, this first path is completely unreachable..."
Li Yijie felt a stern and suddenly guessed what he might say. Sure enough, Xuan Shuang said: "There are two fastest ways for mortals to become demons. One is to destroy their bodies, bring sacrifices and worship them. After being tempered by the heavenly fire, they can be transformed into form monsters from now on. But this one is easy to say, but it is not easy to start with it. If the obsession is not firm enough and cannot retain the soul, they can only end up in the heavenly fire. Besides, even if the conditions are met, the Mauna Luoya Volcano just exploded last month and will not be there again in the short term. You do not have the most poisonous seven evil spirits, and it is difficult to obtain enough evil spirits that linger on the whole body. You don't know that sacred love can corrode the flesh and blood together, but its toxicity can also become a protective film, so that the soul will not collapse and disappear.
The second type is to directly make the blood of the demon flow in the body, and to the Demon Blood Cave in the snowy mountains in the northwest. With internal force, the ventilation pool, Qimen, Taiyuan, and Yongquan are used to discharge the blood from the acupoints. When the blood is about to dry up, then jump into the blood pool and soak it, absorb the blood with internal force to nourish itself. When the transformation is completed and fully integrated, mortals can also have the power of demons. However, the demons formed in this way are usually the lowest level of monsters, with no consciousness at all, and only the instinct of killing, and can often only be slaves to real monsters. This is all the gains of my previous experience in following him and inquiring from many sources. Originally, I thought the saying of becoming a demon was nonsense and didn't take it seriously at all. But since he could become a demon, perhaps these legends have some basis to follow. Alas, if I force me again, maybe one day I will..."
Li Yijie was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly jumped up from the bed and said, "No, you are still young, and once you become a demon, you will be ruined in your life. Don't you think about how painful it would be if you were impulsive, your relatives around you, those who care about you and love you..."
Xuan Shuang said coldly: "President Li, please don't talk to yourself, can you succeed? When did I say I want to become a demon? Since you know how to persuade me, it's better to associate yourself first. If the truth you say is completely opposite to your own actions, it means you don't even believe it yourself. Since that's the case, why should you convince others? Another point is that I have no relatives now, I am just a poor person who is not loved by anyone, and you don't have to preach to me with those words."
Li Yijie wiped his forehead and said, "I'm sorry. But what's the point of telling me this?" Xuan Shuang said, "Since he can't become a demon, he naturally has to find a few scapegoats. Yes, if one can't beat him, we will create a hundred, and he will be exhausted. In order to avoid these new monsters harming people, before taking shape, give everyone a bottle of limited-time poison. After they are defeated, they will die themselves, and they will not leave any waste in the world."
Li Yijie took it for granted, and was very worried about it, saying, "It's great, how can I let others be a scapegoat? This... this is not..."
Xuanshuang said impatiently: "'It is against the duty of chivalrousness', right? If you want to say that your chivalrousness is really annoying, this is not OK, that is not OK. But I tell you, it is not a question of voluntary sacrifice at the moment. When the Seven Evil Demons take over the Central Plains, everyone will die, and they will die worthless. But if the method I mentioned can be successful, they will finally die a little meaning. Giving small profits and achieving great benefits should always be consistent with your chivalrousness, right?"
Li Yijie thought that what he said had some truth, but how should he explain this kind of thing to everyone? He hesitated and said, "This... please let me think about it again." Xuan Shuang said, "Okay, you will tell me then. There is not much time, hurry up."
At this moment, my thoughts were like a kaleidoscope. This side was flashy and turned into another scene. In the devastated battlefield, Jiang Liechen's arrogant back stood not far away and said coldly: "Three months, I will give you three months. In order to be fair, even if you practice hard within these three months, I will not cause trouble for you and all my relatives. But after three months, you must make me happy!"
The hint of the last sentence is very obvious. After becoming a demon, he will compete with him and get the pleasure of meeting his opponent in the battle. If he is a mortal, he will not even bother to kill.
After hesitating for a few days, he talked about the swaying balance, after adding chips such as morality, conscience, and responsibility, he immediately fell heavily, which was destined to the situation in the future. No matter how he struggled and retreated, this path was ultimately unavoidable. Perhaps for some people, they were born to be unable to live for themselves. When they made up their minds, a stone that was inseparable from their hearts finally fell.
With the interweaving light and shadow, the picture returned to the familiar room in front of me. What I saw was Nangong Xue’s anxious face. I could only pretend to be relaxed and smiled, held Nangong Xue’s shoulders, and said, “How could that be? You are thinking too much. We are mortal enemies with the Demon Sect. What our Wulin Alliance wants to attack this time is also the demons who are beyond the reach of the Demon Sect. How could they learn their kung fu? Xueer, don’t worry about me.”
Nangong Xue was so anxious that she was crying and said, "But... how can you not worry about your appearance? And... What do you mean by those strange words you said in the lobby before? Maybe others have not noticed it yet, but I am childhood sweethearts and you must not hide what you are thinking. You never exaggerate. Unless you have serious thoughts, you will never say such words. Alas, you probably have to blame me for being too worried, but your expression, tone of speaking, and the meaning in your words, gives me the feeling... as if you are explaining your funeral! I don't know what you want to do, but then you say something like the sky falls and you bear it alone..."
Li Yijie sighed inwardly that his junior sister's observation was indeed subtle, but fortunately, she had sufficient excuses and said, "Thought care is confusing. You think, with my skill, even if I want to die with the Seven Evil Demons, I am not qualified to sacrifice myself. What else should I have to sacrifice myself? I promise you that I will come back alive, okay? Xueer, I am already confused, don't add to my troubles, okay? Stay here with peace of mind and wait for me to come back. I have promised everyone that I will do it. Could it be that you think I will escape at the last minute?"
Nangong Xue shook her head and said, "No, it's not that reason. But I suddenly had an extremely ominous premonition, as if you took this step and would be the first time you would be to join the business forever. As long as you leave, you will never look back, and I will lose you forever... Besides, you know that the situation is urgent. If the Seven Evil Demons come to the Wulin League to cause trouble while you are away, then what should we do?" She never wanted to ask for help from others, but at this time, in order to keep her senior brother, she had no choice but to use this move.
Li Yijie said: "You don't have to worry about this. Within three months, he promised not to cause trouble for us. Regardless of good and evil, no matter whether it is a human being, as long as he is a person with a few names, what he said in person cannot ignore it."
Nangong Xue frowned. She was sensitive and had some clues. She said, "What did you give birth to after three months? Did you hide it from me and do anything with him?"
Li Yijie smiled bitterly in secret and said, "You can say that. I promised him to fight life and death with him in three months. Don't worry, this battle will come sooner or later, and we are not at a loss. He also promised that during this period, let me concentrate on practicing martial arts, and he will no longer provoke." He wished he could worship all the gods he knew in his mind, but Nangong Xue was far less likely to fool as he thought (perhaps because he had not worshipped the gods) and asked coldly: "Where is the conditions?"
Li Yijie said: "The condition is... he said that in three months, he would make him happy."
Nangong Xue also hesitated and said, "How could he... suddenly become so easy to talk about? Is there another conspiracy?" Li Yijie said in his heart, "If you drag it on, you won't be able to leave. You have to fight." His tone became a little cold out of thin air, and said, "Even if there is, there is no way. As the leader of the martial arts world, you are not qualified to choose your own life, and you cannot decide whether to do something or not based on your personal wishes. This is what you taught me, do you still remember?" He turned around and left.
Nangong Xue's heart seemed to be crushed by someone and she cried, "This...is what I said like this damn thing? Senior brother, I'm sorry..." This is not surprising. Anyone can speak well when teaching others a lesson, but if it were personal experience, they would be at a loss.
