Chapter Eighty-Seven: Epiphany
Qiao Xi drank a glass of wine and calmed down, then raised his eyes to look at Ibaraki, thinking about the vocabulary very seriously.
"Now, Ibaraki, I thought we should be friends."
Ibaraki bit down on his snack and aimed at him, a smile on his face.
"Nature."
- If another person/youkai dared to talk to him like this, he would have been killed a long time ago.
Well, except for the wine swallow.
Qiao Xi was choked by the rightfully arrogant look on his face, his eyebrows moved, and he said, "So we are still going to Kyoto?" β
Ibaraki's eyes widened slightly, and he didn't think that his next question would be this, so he slowed down for half a beat before replying, "Go!" The country is so poor! β
Qiao Xi nodded.
"Oh, that's good."
Then there was a silence.
Ibaraki stared at Qiao Xi leisurely eating snacks and drinking peach blossom wine, for a long time, and couldn't help but say, "Don't you have anything to say?" β
Qiao Xi blinked and tilted his head to look at Ibaraki: "I just finished speaking." β
Ibaraki: "......"
He paused and said, "Didn't you just say we need to talk?" β
Qiao Xi nodded very naturally: "Yes, so didn't you talk about it just now?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Ibaraki began to ponder, what exactly had he just missed?
From the beginning to the end of the so-called conversation, Qiao Xi said three sentences, except for the nonsense "That's good" at the end, and only the first two sentences expressed the message......
- So, when did they talk about it?
Ibaraki looked at Qiao Xi's face and stopped talking.
Qiao Xi was not blind, he was stared at by Ibaraki's penetrating gaze, and he could naturally feel it, but he ate the snack very seriously, and ignored the past.
He knew Ibaraki's doubts, and the previous conversation was really not a conversation.
Qiao Xi felt the aroma of cherry blossoms gradually blooming on the tip of her tongue, and her heart was extremely calm.
He was just opening his mouth for a moment, and suddenly he felt that there was nothing to talk about.
He and Ibaraki are friends, and that's a fact that both of them have identified, so that's enough.
Ibaraki is a big youkai. With his own way of surviving, there was no way he could have made Ibaraki change his centuries-old habits because of his own preferences - he had no way of being responsible for the consequences of such a request.
The youkai knew Ibaraki's way of doing thingsβand it was Ibaraki's strength and arrogance that they felt adored and in awe.
If Ibaraki had changed his personality one day, he would have thought it would be strange.
Qiao Xi bent her eyes and hooked the corners of her lips.
Hawkers, strong, proud, keen on challenges and doing things, and treating others as nothing, this is the Ibaraki he recognizes.
Originally, when he recognized Ibaraki at the beginning, he was like this, what qualifications or positions did he have to ask him to make a change?
Thinking like this, Qiao Xi's smile became more and more gentle, and when he drank the cherry blossom wine in his cup, a powerful and soft demonic aura that did not have any negative feelings at all suddenly erupted from around him.
Ibaraki looked up in astonishment, looking at Qiao Xi, who was gradually shrouded in green mist, and was simply stunned when he felt the demonic power on his body increasing little by little.
But then, his eyes flickered slightly, and he looked into the distance with a frown.
The surrounding woods were already in a commotion.
The two of them were on the top of a certain hill not far from the human city, and there were quite a few of them living in the general human gathering place.
Most of them are attracted by human desires, and the youkai who can be attracted by human evil thoughts and desires are inherently unscrupulous.
And now, those greedy youkai have set their eyes on this mountain.
In the feeling of the monster, the current Qiao Xi is like a super tonic, full of gentle and powerful demonic aura, if you can keep these aura, even if it is an ordinary monster, you can become a big monster like Qingxing Lantern.
Ibaraki looked at Qiao Xi, who had formed a large green cocoon at this time, and suddenly grinned.
- Ahh
Ibaraki's golden pupils streaked across a striking light, and black swirls gradually formed beneath his feet.
"Qiao Xisan, let me show you today, my Ibaraki boy's most proud attack - Rashomon!"
As the last syllable in Ibaraki's mouth settled, the black whirlpool under his feet spun faster and faster, and gradually, a large, black door emerged from the whirlpool.
At the entrance was a sea of dry bones and a blood-stained sky.
The youkai who was first dazed by Qiao Xi's aura screamed and was dragged into the door by the ghost claws that came out of the door, and was silent.
β¦β¦
When Qiao Xi opened his eyes again, he only felt that the air was filled with terrifying blood, and in the next second, an arrogant and arrogant voice laughed, accompanied by screams.
ββ¦β¦β
He subconsciously turned his head to follow the sound and looked over, a little confused.
Ibaraki is surrounded by surging demonic power, different from Qiao Xi's peace, Ibaraki's demonic aura is extremely aggressive, and people can't help but be on guard from afar.
Qiao Xi glanced around, and quickly sorted out the situation in front of him.
He had a dispute with Ibaraki because of the issue of three views, and then he figured it out again, but he suddenly had an epiphany by accident.
- Epiphany is a special form of cultivation in his cultivation.
It is said that "after a lot of tribulation, enlightenment is instantaneous", and it is said that "all delusions are destroyed in an instant".
Epiphany, in general, represents a sudden change or leap in thinking.
And Qiao Xi's epiphany as a monster made his demonic power grow amazingly in a short period of time, and the growth rate of his body could not keep up with the growth rate of demonic power, so a part of the rich aura overflowed, thus attracting some monsters.
His gaze fell on Ibaraki, who was unilaterally slaughtering a group of youkai, and he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.
Hey, this guy looks pretty excited!
He squinted his eyes and counted the time.
- Yes, it seemed like only a moment had passed in his senses, but in fact three days had passed.
Qiao Xi glanced at the distance, some human onmyoji sneakily disguised themselves and mixed in with the monsters on the periphery, afraid that they wanted to wait for an opportunity to take advantage of it.
He let out a somewhat impatient "tsk".
- There are always such guys in the human race.
If you are greedy, you don't even want your life.
He thought, and with a thought, he took back all the demonic energy that had spread all over the mountains.
So the youkai who were fighting all over the mountains suddenly found that the object of their robbery was gone, and after a period of stunnedness, the whole mountain was boiling.
