Chapter 402: Night Demon
It didn't take long for Liu Shangang to come over, he looked at me, then at the sigil on the ground, and after a long time asked me, "Is this it?" ”
I let out a sigh of relief and nodded, "It should be done." ”
Liang Houzai came over again and asked me what I had just done, and I finished telling me some of my analysis of this gossip map, and that blocking the Kun position is blocking the vitality of the night demon.
Liu Shangang blinked at the direction and said, "You won't be weak when you urge Fantian Yin now?" When did it become so powerful? ”
I smiled at him: "This special training is still very effective. ”
Liu Shangang wanted to say something, but Liang Houzai stopped him and asked me first: "But in the end, we still haven't awakened the consciousness of the leader's daughter, and when the spirit of the rune disappears, it seems that the night demon will still come out, right?" ”
Just now, he was only concerned about sealing the life of the night demon, but he forgot the most important thing.
The consciousness of the leader's daughter, this is the biggest key to suppressing the night demon, but now......
Worried and confused, I turned my gaze to the stone platform.
After pondering for a moment, I asked Liang Houzai, "If you were a night demon and the last ray of life was sealed, what would you do?" ”
Liang Houzai: "The trapped beast is still fighting, fighting to the death." ”
After saying these eight words, he was silent for a while, and then said to me: "I think that the demon pestle left by the Fan people is to prevent the night demon from breaking away from the seal when the night demon is fully awake, but now, the demon pestle seems to be almost unable to suppress it." ”
As he said this, he kept staring at the crack in the ground.
At this time, I was thinking, maybe as long as the life of the night demon is sealed, the consciousness of the leader's daughter will be awakened, and maybe, as long as the light of the kun position is bright enough, the night demon buried deep in the ground can also see the mural floating on our heads.
But I'm also well aware that there's never a fluke in something like this.
As I thought about this, I felt a rapid jolt underground.
The tremor was fleeting, but several of us had become very nervous, hunched over one by one, staring at the cracks in the ground.
At the moment of the shock, we all saw the debris near the rift jump.
A few seconds later, there was another tremor from below the ground, this time much stronger and more persistent than the last, and I watched as the soil under the stone platform rose slightly, and the cracks in the ground widened for a moment.
I held my breath and tried my best to suppress the tension and fear in my heart.
The tremor was gone again, but we knew it would still happen, and when it reappeared, the fragile stone platform might be completely overturned.
I held the Fantian Seal in one hand, and pulled out the green steel sword with the other, Liang Houzai took out the spirit talisman, and Liu Shangang took out a black donkey's hoof from his backpack.
Time passed minute by minute, and the tremor was not felt again for a long time.
Liu Shangang suddenly thought of something, quickly took out some cotton wool from his backpack, and threw it to me and Liang Houzai, and then I saw that he plugged his ears with cotton wool.
I was so nervous just now that I forgot for a moment that there had been a sharp howling sound here, and if the long howl resumed, we were so close to the source of the sound, and there was no protection measure, the eardrum would definitely not be saved.
I put down the Qinggang Sword and blocked my ears as fast as I could, and when I picked it up again, I couldn't hear anything except the sound of my own breathing.
At that moment, the strongest tremor ever heard from underground, and I could feel a strong force rushing up from the ground, slamming into the bottom of the stone platform.
At this moment, the earth near the stone platform was arched high, and the crumble flew sideways, and wisps of black smoke poured out of the cracks in the soil.
The smoke was mixed with a large amount of yin qi, as well as an incomparably strong resentment and violence, and the combination of these three qi fields had a huge effect on me, and at that moment, I almost felt hopeless.
That despair was the despair of my whole life, and in the middle of that thought, I suddenly felt as if I had never really lived once, growing up, just wandering away from the world like the walking dead.
Fortunately, I still maintained the last trace of sobriety, and quickly recited the Three Corpses Recipe silently, forcibly returning my mind to a normal state.
Liang Houzai next to me looked over, I saw his depressed expression, I immediately slapped him on the back with a green steel sword, he turned his head to look at me, I pointed to the raised stone platform with a green steel sword, Liang Houzai was a little more sober, he nodded at me, and recited the mantra to stabilize his mind, because his ears were blocked, I don't know what he was reading.
While the stone platform had not been overturned, I ran to Liu Shangang again, and slapped him on the shoulder, this palm I used a lot of strength, he was still a confused look just now, and now he covered his shoulders, revealing a grinning expression, through the cotton, I could hear him crying out in pain.
Seeing that he was back to normal, I quickly took out a piece of Shouyang candy from my backpack and stuffed it into his mouth.
Shouyang candy couldn't help him stabilize his mind, but the strong bitter smell that gushed out of his stomach could at least remind him of his current situation.
The impact of the night demon failed to overturn the stone platform for the time being, and when the shock disappeared, the demon pestle exuded a strong spiritual rhyme, and the cracks on the ground slowly narrowed.
But soon, the night demon launched another attack, even if the ear was stuffed with cotton wool, but the night demon's terrible long howl still reached my ears, and it was still the same piercing.
In the long whistle, a violent shock came from the ground, and then a loud "bang" was heard, and the heavy stone platform was completely overturned. The earth shattered, and the Demon Slaying Pestle flew into the air, spinning continuously, and a milky white thing rushed out of the ground, and behind it, there was a series of billowing black smoke, like a giant black snake, obscuring the golden light that gathered from all directions.
By the bright light, I could clearly recognize the milky white thing as a mask, Sensitivity had said that the Night Demon's mask was made of stone, and the surface was very rough, I couldn't see the lines on the mask, I didn't know if its surface was as rough as Sensitivity said, I could only see a pair of red eyes and a red mouth on the mask, red as blood.
The mask was facing me at this point, and the red eyes drawn on it couldn't move, but I could feel it looking down at me right now.
The night demon also seems to know that it was I who urged the Fantian Seal just now, cutting off its last ray of life.
And I also know very well that the person who is staring at me now is the Daredevil himself, and that mask is just a fake face of it.
I complained that Master let me enter the night mound alone, complained about why Liu Shangang didn't bring enough rations when he came in, complained that Master had taken away my childhood and made me unable to go to school and live normally like other children, why Master didn't give me the secret book earlier, if I could study for a few more years, maybe I would be able to cope with the current situation, complained that my practice career in the past few years was too hard and tiring, and Master was too harsh and strict. It made me lose interest in the practice of magic early on.
Although there was always a voice in my head that kept complaining about this and that, I still relied on the Three Corpses Technique to forcibly retain some sobriety.
I keep reminding myself that all resentment is an illusion, and of all human emotions, resentment is the most unreal and the most detached from the heart.
From a very young age, my master told me that when a person starts to get used to complaining, it is not far from being doomed. Because resentment is actually a distorted heart, full of vanity and illusion.
Resentment and hatred are originally two concepts, hatred is caused by the heart, and resentment is an emotion that is completely generated by external forces. Master said that a person who is accustomed to resentment is often a person who thinks that he is incapable of change, and they have given up hope before they act, because strong resentment brings despair, but this despair is also false, because hope is still there, but you don't see it.
But resentment is a very powerful thing, and it can easily control a person's inner world, because resentment is often present in the most vulnerable places in the heart.
I was distracted by these things while I was carrying the Three Corpses Formula.
This is surprisingly effective. When I realized that all the complaints in my heart were fake, my state of mind naturally calmed down.
When the night demon affected my mind, my mind seemed to have some connection with its consciousness, and it could sense that I was gradually freed from its influence, and I could feel its doubts.
After the doubts, there was a fierce killing intent.
As soon as I felt this killing intent, I immediately retreated a few steps, and I saw a black smoke whizzing past where I had just stood, and I could feel the biting chill emanating from it more than a meter away from the smoke.
At this time, I suddenly remembered the people who were frozen outside the stone gate, and if I was touched by this smoke, I guess I would have ended up like that.
One hit missed, and the night demon immediately became angry in his heart, and I not only slackened, but immediately pulled Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang back.
Liu Shangang's torch had fallen to the ground at this time, and I didn't have time to pick it up, so I just struggled to pull them back.
At this point, the Daredevil's influence on me was cut off, and the connection between consciousness was suddenly broken, and I couldn't figure out what it was trying to do.
Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang also recovered from their state of confusion at this time.
Liang Houzai rubbed his temples, looked at the torch that fell to the ground, and couldn't help frowning.
Before I could understand why he was frowning, I suddenly saw the flame on the torch flicker, and it burned more and more, until it finally formed a thick tongue of fire and attacked us.
The tongue of fire swept over our heads, and the three of us leaned down to dodge at the same time, and then we saw the tongue of fire bend in mid-air and roll towards us.
I could feel the burning heat on the tongue of fire for several meters, and if I were to be touched by this kind of fire, it would be almost the same as being doused with molten steel.
The three of us immediately curled up and rolled on the spot, staggering to avoid the second attack of the tongues of fire.
But before we got up, the tongue of fire rolled over again, the seal of Fantian was urged by me, and the vitality of the night demon was also blocked by me, so it took extra care of me, this time the tongue of fire gave up Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai, and pounced directly on me.
