Chapter 518: Between the Palms
Who likes Demon Seed the most?
There is no doubt that the demon likes the demon seed the most, Xu Xingkong's words made everyone's hearts sink slightly, if Xu Xingkong's guess is true, everyone knows what it means, if there is a demon who has mastered this difficult demon seed technique, it will definitely be a disaster.
Demons can be said to be cultivators who have evolved in the wrong direction, including youkai, and even some powerful demons in historical records are born from youkai.
And after the demons become demons, their personalities are very extreme, they have a strong mentality of destroying the world, and they have a strong hatred mentality towards normal cultivators, but although the demons grow rapidly, the harm has not been too great, because the more powerful they are, the more they are from extinction.
So what demons care about most is not their individual strength, but the number, if the number of demons is out of control and breaks a certain threshold, then the total amount of demons will grow explosively, and even the worst may be that the intelligent creatures of the entire earth will become demons, and then everyone will be destroyed together.
It is impossible for a demon to have a direct descendant.
Therefore, it has always been the mission of cultivators to eliminate infected demons and treat ordinary people who have been given demon seeds, but if there is a demon seed that cannot be eliminated, then things will not be fun.
Of course, this kind of thinking is only the worst case, judging from the actual results, the other party must have a limit on the distribution of demon seeds, maybe the number of demon seeds is limited, maybe it is some other reason, so they give priority to finding babies with cultivation potential, if they can spread the demon seeds at will, the number of victims will never be only so small.
This may be the only good news for the Tao so far.
According to Xu Xingkong's knowledge, the demon has its own organization, but there is no unified organization, and all the demon organizations belong to the illegal organizations that have been severely cracked down, and these organizations have always been very secretive, so it is impossible to start from this direction, and the only way is to see if you can find any clues from the victims.
In addition, although Xu Xingkong speculated that this matter might be directed at him, but this was just a possibility, or someone was taking advantage of the situation to take advantage of the situation, Xu Xingkong never believed that those illegal demon organizations would really obey the orders of some traditional forces, and they were just using each other.
Therefore, taking this opportunity to suppress his own reputation, taking the opportunity to reap benefits, etc., are all small problems, Xu Xingkong doesn't care much, Xu Xingkong is more concerned about whether this mysterious demon organization will use himself as a whetstone, and what Xu Xingkong cares about more is whether this new demon species that makes the government helpless has something to do with his innovative theory.
However, there is no point in speculating here, so Xu Xingkong readily agreed to Zhang Chaodong's invitation.
The group quickly set off by car, and when they arrived on the street, Xu Xingkong noticed that the atmosphere on the street was a little abnormal, and Zhang Chaodong immediately explained.
It turned out that in order to hunt down the murderers of the demon seed, the government had issued a first-level martial law order, and all cultivators and demon clans who were not registered and had someone to guarantee had found out and arrested them immediately, and those who resisted could be killed on the spot.
As soon as this order came out, the number of cultivators and demon clans on the street immediately decreased, everyone stayed at home honestly to avoid trouble, and whoever had nothing to do was still running around the street, in case they were found fault by the government personnel patrolling the streets for no reason, and they didn't know who to talk to.
What made Xu Xingkong realize that it was the groups of demon hunters who could be seen patrolling in battle formations on the street from time to time, as well as their murderous state, this atmosphere was no different from the battlefield.
Fortunately, these guys are wearing spiritual weapons that hide their aura, so they won't affect ordinary people.
The car turned left and right, and Xu Xingkong found that he had arrived at the hospital he had been to, and it was even more coincidental that he met several juniors in charge of He Yan's security at the entrance of the hospital's inpatient department.
When Zhang Chaodong took Xu Xingkong and the three of them to the corridor of the ward dedicated to isolating the victims, he saw Miao Zhizhen and Murong Xian standing at the entrance of the corridor.
Xu Xingkong didn't say anything, after all, this is someone's territory, besides, he knows that the status of the real person in the government is definitely not low, maybe the person is in charge of this matter, so it is reasonable to appear here, as for Murong Xian, Xu Xingkong should not be able to see it.
Miao Zhi Zhenren took the initiative to step forward and warmly greeted Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaofeng, and then took over Zhang Chaodong's position, guiding Xu Xingkong and others to walk inward, it seems that Miao Zhi Zhenren is really the person in charge of this matter.
Murong Xian followed behind without saying a word, according to common sense, she should walk behind Zhang Chaodong, but because Lin Xiaofeng was a woman, Zhang Chaodong gave up his place and let Murong Xian and Lin Xiaofeng go side by side.
Murong Xian and Lin Xiaofeng silently saluted, Lin Xiaofeng just nodded lightly and ignored her, Murong Xian secretly paid attention to Lin Xiaofeng, and found that Lin Xiaofeng was just wearing very ordinary jeans and shirts, but standing beside her, even if she was wearing handmade fashion clothes, with careful grooming, she still looked like a girl who served people, and people were really incomparable.
No one paid attention to Murong Xian's thoughts, and everyone followed the real person into a ward, where in addition to the patient lying on the bed and falling asleep, there was also a doctor in a white coat and two old men with gray hair.
When they saw someone coming in, they all stepped back and gave way to the bedside.
These people obviously knew Xu Xingkong's identity, and no one said anything inappropriate, but the eyes that looked at Xu Xingkong were a little complicated, obviously, they were still a little dissatisfied in their hearts, and even some expected that Xu Xingkong would not be able to solve this matter, in that case, the responsibility on them would be much smaller, but it would be bad news for the entire cultivation circle, so they were quite conflicted in their hearts for a while.
It seemed a little crowded that so many people came in the ward at once, but no one wanted to go out now, Xu Xingkong did not force the scene to be cleared, but calmly told Miao Zhizhen:
"You hypnotized the patient?"
"Yes, we found that the patient received the demon seed for about twenty hours, and all the uncomfortable symptoms disappeared, except for the occasional nightmare, they did not feel unwell, in order to facilitate the treatment, we carried out the necessary treatment for all the victims, so that they consciously stayed in the hospital. ”
The hypnosis that Xu Xingkong asked did not refer to the matter of falling asleep, but that Xu Xingkong found that the pregnant woman in the hospital bed had obvious spell retention in her brain, which was the result of soul transfer retention, so he asked specifically.
Obviously, in order to get these pregnant women to cooperate with the hospital, they cast a spell on the victims, making them mistakenly believe that they were unwell, and they all voluntarily stayed in the hospital to wait for treatment.
Xu Xingkong nodded, walked to the side of the pregnant woman's bed near the head, bent down and looked down at the pregnant woman's head, and then reached out and pressed it on the patient's eyebrows.
In fact, most of the people present could see the slight Yuan Ling Ripple Technique continuously emitted from Xu Xingkong's palm, but in addition to knowing that Xu Xingkong was casting the Yuan Spirit Ripple Technique, they didn't know more details, and they all thought that Xu Xingkong was doing a preliminary investigation.
Who knew that after about a minute, Xu Xingkong suddenly put away his hand and said:
"Alright, let's go out and talk. ”
Everyone present was stunned, except for Lin Xiaofeng, who was stunned for a moment and immediately opened his mouth to confirm:
"Elder Xu has already finished the examination?"
Xu Xingkong nodded, then raised his hand and exposed his palm upwards to everyone, and everyone realized that there was a small enchantment in Xu Xingkong's palm, probably only the size of a broad bean, as for what was in the enchantment, although everyone had some guesses, they couldn't believe their guesses.
Miao Zhi Zhenren and the others looked at each other and seemed to be a little embarrassed to speak, but the head of the Xuan Dao directly asked:
"Xingkong, is this the demon seed?"
Xu Xingkong nodded as a matter of course:
"That's right, it's the demon seed, this patient is fine, let's find a place to talk about it, and this matter should not be publicized. ”
Miao Zhi Zhenren nodded knowingly, and said to Xu Xingkong with a lot of heart:
"Elder Xu, please come with the poor Dao, let's find a quiet room to talk. ”
As the real people who went out, including Zhang Chaodong, Chu Xuandao and Lin Xiaofeng, as for the others, including Murong Xian, they could only stand in place, staring at each other with a tangled and shocked face, and the things that made them anxious were solved in front of Xu Xingkong in front of Xu Xingkong, this gap was really shocking.
Murong Xian, who had always been above the top, was a little discouraged, but soon she was full of fighting spirit again, the more powerful Xu Xingkong was, the more she wanted to get close to him, if she could learn something from him, it would be enough to be used for life, Murong Xian clenched her fists vigorously to cheer herself up.
The quiet room was carefully arranged by the real person who knew that there were several layers of isolation barriers, even so, Xu Xingkong wanted to arrange it with his own hands, but considering the face of the real person, Xu Xingkong still endured it.
After coming to the quiet room and sitting down around a conference table, Xu Xingkong had already put the demon seed that was originally trapped by a temporary enchantment into a multi-faceted crystal, this crystal was actually constructed by a multi-layer enchantment, and the crystalline body formed after adsorbing and reconstructing the carbon element in the air, this thing can actually be regarded as a simple spirit weapon, but the function of this spirit weapon is to trap the internal spirit structure.
The crystal gurgled and rolled towards the real person, the real person quickly pinched it carefully, held it in front of him and looked at it carefully for a while, and the real person handed over the crystal to the Xuan Dao person opposite, and the Xuan Dao person also studied it for a while, and then handed it to Zhang Chaodong, Zhang Chaodong glanced at Lin Xiaofeng after reading it, and Lin Xiaofeng, who was sitting next to Xu Xingkong, did not seem to intend to take over the crystal.
At this time, the real man said:
"Elder Xu, Poor Dao doesn't question your abilities, but are you sure that the entire demon seed has been eliminated?"
"Yes, you can check it out, but before we do that, it's better to talk about the demon seed and what's next. ”
Miao Zhi Zhenren looked at Xu Xingkong strangely:
"Elder Xu, do you mean there is something wrong with this demon seed?"
"To be precise, it's about the Demon Seed, so let's put it this way, I don't want the information about the Demon Seed that I told you about today to leak out. ”
Xu Xingkong's expression was very serious, but everyone present understood his request as soon as they heard it.
For a cultivator, the most important thing is the mirror, that is, the accurate reflection and awareness of one's own state, only by accurately knowing one's state and problems, can one improve oneself more efficiently, and the same is true for the maker of the demon seed, if Xu Xingkong's analysis of the demon seed reaches the ears of the demon seed maker, then he may quickly create a more powerful demon seed.
