23. You are my faith
The man who had been invaded by the demonic qi suddenly returned to normal, and everyone present was very surprised. The clergy ordered a bowl of blessing water to be brought and drunk. This water of blessing can detect the presence of demonic energy in the human body. A small amount of demonic energy can be directly removed, but if there is too much demonic energy, severe pain will occur.
However, the water of blessing had no effect on the royal apostles.
The man drank the water of prayer, and his face was full of relief. The clergy looked at each other, and although they had doubts in their hearts, they still announced that the demonic energy in the man's body had been removed.
The man's family wept with joy and thanked the clergy.
Clergy: Actually, they're also confused......
Shang Ke's body stiffened, and he couldn't let his teeth chatter. Absorbing demonic energy was like eating dark food, and it was a sour feeling, enough for him to "reminisce" for several days.
Kasiu stared at Shang Ke thoughtfully, was he dazzled just now? The demonic energy on that man's body seems to have flowed to Shang Ke?
"Daddy?" Sensing Shang Ke's abnormality, Plop pulled his hair in confusion.
"It's fine." These two words are almost squeezed out of his teeth.
"Let's go, there's nothing to see." You Yi ran over, pushed one with one hand, and took Monk Kaxiu out.
Shang Ke was pushed by him and stumbled and almost fell. Kasiu hurriedly held him up, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Vidora couldn't help but whisper sarcastically: "As a man, the body is too bad." β
Although the sound was small, several people heard it because of the proximity.
Shang Ke was silent, with a face hidden in his hood and no expression visible. Kaxiu and You Yi didn't have much to say, and left the Temple of Light together.
Shang Ke walked very slowly, often the three of them walked far away, and he was still dangling slowly behind. It's not that he doesn't want to go fast, but the demonic qi he absorbed just now made the demonic qi in his body, which was originally quite peaceful, start surging again, "teasing" his will from time to time, "stimulating" his body, making him sore, numb and painful.
Shang Ke had to thank the system again for allowing him to experience that inhuman torture in the first world, allowing him to practice the ability to carry abuse.
This is really a fact that is inherently introverted.
At this time, Shang Ke noticed that there were several junior apostles who had been wandering around them since just now. If it were an ordinary person, Shang Ke might not feel it, but to him, the aura of a low-level apostle was as conspicuous as a ghost fire in the night.
He was upset, and someone came to touch his moldy head.
The coercion on Shang Ke's body belonging to the king-level apostle was suddenly released, majestic, and pressing, and the meaning was one word to sum up: Get out!
The junior apostles were shocked at the same time, looking around with panicked expressions, and did not find any trace of the "big boss", but they also understood that this area had been marked by a big boss, so they didn't dare to stay longer, turned around, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Kasiu's footsteps paused, strange, just now I obviously felt that someone was following, why did he disappear in the blink of an eye?
Several people lost their interest in shopping, and returned to the hotel after buying all their belongings.
Teacher Ghosn took the bounty back and divided it among his students. Shang Ke really got a share, although there were only thirty gold coins, it was enough for him to live with Puff for a while.
The next day, several people set off for the imperial capital.
The events of that day in the Temple of Light left a question in Cassiu's mind. So along the way, Cassiu paid special attention to Shang Ke's every move.
Soon, he gradually noticed something strange. Shang Ke's body is not thin, but his body is extremely poor, and he will show fatigue when he takes a few more steps. This kind of body is not as good as even ordinary people, but he looks neither sick nor injured, his body is well-proportioned, and his texture is clear, and he has obviously been practiced. It's just that for some unknown reason, his reaction actions always seem a little sluggish.
Regardless of this, Shang Ke is indeed a very good person to get along with. He was gentle and ingenious, and he only laughed at Vidora's sarcasm from time to time.
After a few days of covert observation, Cassius had already given up. It wasn't until this day that they happened to meet a person who had been invaded by demonic energy, and the doubts in his heart were finally confirmed.
Shang Ke crouched beside the intruder, put his hand on him, and then saw wisps of demonic energy slowly being sucked into his body.
A hint of shock flashed in Kasiu's eyes, but there was no abnormality on his face. When all the demonic qi was sucked away, the intruder also returned to normal, exactly the same as the man he met in the Temple of Light that day.
Cassius never knew that there were other ways in the world besides the power of faith to heal the invading person, and at the expense of himself.
After Shang Ke finished absorbing the demonic qi, his originally dark eyes became even darker, his face was white and transparent, but his lips were extremely red, revealing a bewitching beauty.
As if sensing Cassiu's gaze, he pulled his hood down to cover most of his face, revealing only two red lips.
Ka Xiu's pupils shrank, and he finally knew why Shang Ke had suddenly become so weak that day, because he had endured the pain of demonic qi for others.
Cassius thought it was crazy. As we all know, the invasion of demonic energy into the body brings not only the pain of **, but also the torture of will and the test of faith. If you are not careful, you will be swallowed up by darkness and become a slave to the devil's tree. No one wants to introduce demonic energy into their body, because everyone has their own weaknesses and dark sides, and no one can guarantee that their will and faith will not waver in the slightest in the torment of pain.
But Shang Ke did, and I'm afraid it has been for a long time.
Because Kaxiu couldn't feel the demonic qi on his body, there was only one possibility, that is, the demonic qi he had absorbed had completely precipitated and reached the king level.
Could it be that he is an apostle of the devil? Kasiu's face changed slightly, and then he quickly dismissed his thoughts. If he is really a devil's apostle, how can he secretly help others get rid of the demonic energy? Moreover, every time he saves someone, he will appear in a state of weakness for a period of time, which is obviously the result of a fierce battle between will and demonic energy.
The reason why Shang Ke's body is poor is not because his body is not good, but because he has a large amount of demonic energy imprisoned in his body. On the contrary, he has a super willpower and strong faith that ordinary people cannot imagine.
Cassius looked at Puff again, confirming his conjecture even more. Puff and Shang Ke live together, not only is there not a trace of demonic energy on her body, on the contrary, she also has a very pure power of faith.
No devil apostle would leave a believer with the potential to cause harm to him, even his own loved ones. The devil apostles, especially the royal apostles, have completely abandoned conscience and feelings from the day they fell.
"Daddy." Looking at the weak Shang Ke, he didn't know how to express his worries, so he could only tug on his sleeve tightly.
"It's fine." Shang Ke touched her head and smiled, "Come, feed Dad a little fruit." β
Puff quickly took out a pearl-sized wild fruit from his pocket, tiptoed, stretched out his arm and tried to hand it to Shang Ke's mouth.
Shang Ke bent down slightly, took a bite of the wild fruit into his mouth, and praised: "It's so sweet." β
A happy smile immediately appeared on Puff's face.
Seeing this, Kasiu's eyes couldn't help but soften. Then, he caught a glimpse of Shang Ke's slightly trembling fingers and beads of sweat across his chin, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he quietly walked behind him, held his waist, and said softly, "Sit down and rest for a while." β
"Still resting?" Vidora said dissatisfiedly, "We've been delayed for a long time because of him." β
"Vidora, Shang Ke is not in good health, and he should take care of it more." You Yi took a cavity.
"Take care? I'm not as squeamish as he is. Vidora glared at Shang Ke with disdain.
Durroux and Fred also have a lot of criticism about Shang Ke. Although he is really good, his physique is like this, and he really doesn't look like a man.
The cold-faced beauty Amy didn't have much of it, but just took a deep look at Shang Ke a few times.
"Hurry up, don't delay the trip for me." Shang Ke took the pounce and smiled at everyone.
In the next two days, everyone met several people who were invaded by demonic qi one after another, Cheng DΓΉ was light and severe, but without exception, Quan was still cured.
With each heal, he weakened a little.
Every time Cassius thought he was about to fall, he miraculously persevered. Despite trembling, it did not waver. With stumbling steps, he always followed behind everyone unswervingly.
Cassiu has never admired anyone in his life, but Shang Ke's tenacity really moved him.
"Ah, it's finally back!" Vidora looked at the Imperial Capital City in front of her and couldn't help but cheer.
The others also had relieved smiles on their faces.
Teacher Ghosn said, "You go back to school with me to sign in, and then you have three days off. β
"Yay!"
Several people walked towards Guangsong Academy with high spirits, and met several groups of students who had returned to school one after another on the way.
Shang Ke also followed them into the academy, and the original owner had a very deep memory of this academy, from which "his" best times and most frustrating experiences came from.
"Shang Ke, you and Plop will wait for me in the garden for a while, and I'll check in and come back." After Cathew finished speaking, he walked into the teaching area.
Shang Ke sat on a bench in the garden, teaching flutter and weaving flower rope while waiting for Kaxiu.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion not far away.
"Look, it's Lord Tiro!" A girl shouted in a voice that couldn't hide her excitement, "Ahhh β
Hearing the name of "Tiluo", Shang Ke raised his head and followed the prestige. I saw a tall man striding towards the school, he had short blond hair as bright as the sun, red eyes like a blood-stained ghost moon, wearing a neat power suit, his body was strong, his body was full of strength, his slender legs were stepping on a pair of black boots, he walked in the wind, and the hem of his clothes fluttered and rose with his movements.
This is a man who can be the center of attention for others anywhere.
Tiluo passed in front of Shang Ke's eyes without squinting, bringing a gust of wind that blew his hood and a few strands of black hair exposed outside it.
Shang Ke noticed that there was a black mole on the palm of his right hand.
