Chapter 22: Demonization
Just as Lin Yun was about to settle down, the two of them touched his tent.
These two are the two brothers Liang Cheng and Liang Yao. Under the care of "master" Yu Xiao'er, the two quickly regained their senses, and the wounds were also rubbed with elixir.
Liang Yao's palms and knees were wrapped in muslin, and Liang Cheng looked even more miserable, his whole body was bandaged, but both of them looked radiant.
Lin Yun had long been aware of the arrival of the two brothers, both of whom were wounded, especially Liang Cheng, who was a little seriously injured, and his body was also big, and the footsteps were too heavy.
But Lin Yun didn't open his eyes and talk to the two brothers, the two of them just came to thank him, Lin Yun was one of the evil ones in Anbei City, and he was able to deal with it calmly when others scolded him, and it made him feel quite embarrassed to thank him.
However, Lin Yun still listened carefully to the movements of the two, and it was not wrong to be careful when going out. In case these two brothers suddenly go berserk again, they won't know how they died when the time comes.
Who knew that after the two brothers touched Lin Yun's tent, they found that Lin Yun seemed to have entered a state of concentration, not only did not leave, but also protected Lin Yun from left to right.
Lin Yun waited for a pillar of incense, but the two brothers still had no intention of leaving.
In desperation, Lin Yun had no choice but to open his eyes and pretend to be surprised, "Hey, two big brothers, why are you here?"
Liang Cheng saw that Lin Yun had woken up, smiled honestly, and said, "Benefactor, we are mainly here to thank you, and the lives of our two brothers were saved by our benefactor--"
Sure enough, Lin Yun sighed and said, "The two elder brothers will see the outside world when they say this, what kind of benefactor is not benefactor, yesterday I strayed into the forest, or the two elder brothers pointed me out." β
Liang Cheng said: "Our two brothers have no father or mother since they were children, and I haven't read many books, but I still understand the truth of gratitude and retribution, and I will go to the soup for my benefactor in the future!"
Liang Yao also nodded incessantly, and his fair face was covered with a faint flush because of excitement.
Seeing that if he didn't agree, the two of them wouldn't leave, Lin Yun rolled his eyes in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, if I have any trouble in the future, I will definitely trouble my brother." β
Lin Yun didn't know, because of this trivial promise, in exchange for the two subordinates and brothers who trusted him the most in the future. Of course, this is all for later, so I won't mention it for the time being.
At this time, the two Lin Yun nodded and glanced at each other, both with inquiring eyes.
Immediately, Liang Cheng sighed and said to Liang Yao, "There is nothing to hide from my benefactor, I am stupid, brother, you can say it." β
Liang Yao nodded, saw Lin Yun's puzzled gaze, and explained: "Actually, there is one more thing for our two brothers to find a benefactor today, we want to trouble the benefactor. β
This made Lin Yun interested, these two brothers are honest, what will trouble him?
"Don't call me a benefactor, just call me Lin Yun. Tell me something. Lin Yundao.
"It's a long storyβ" Liang Yao looked up at the top of the tent, as if caught in a memory, "Our two brothers have lived in Syracuse since we were children, and because of poverty, naturally we can't afford to go to school, so we just beg for a living in Syracuse. β
Lin Yun held his chin with his right hand and listened patiently, he knew that a good story would definitely be foreshadowed, so he didn't rush.
"Not to mention cultivation, those monks are like immortals to our two brothers. During that time, we lived like rats crossing the street......" Liang Yao smiled bitterly and continued: "Until one day, my brother risked his life to steal a book of exercisesββ"
"It was just the most ordinary Ice Vein Exercise, but it was precisely because of this exercise that the two brothers changed their lives and stepped into the path of cultivation. β
Lin Yun was thoughtful, he had been clothed and fed since he was a child, and he didn't know much about the lives of some poor people, so he didn't expect it to be so hard. If they hadn't stolen this exercise, wouldn't the two brothers have starved to death by now?
Liang Yao continued: "Maybe it's because the exercises are too basic, or maybe the qualifications of the two of us are too dull, we have been practicing hard for nearly ten years before we can come into contact with the third level of qi training, and if we want to go further, it's not easy to talk about." Liang Yao sighed, and Liang Cheng was also gloomy.
Compared with the two of them, Lin Yun is indeed blessed. The top-level exercises, the best masters, and the super sparring partner allowed Lin Yun to cultivate from no foundation to the third level of qi cultivation in a few months.
"No matter how hard we try, we can't break through the bottleneck. That's when I came out to travel, hoping to have some adventures outside and help us break through. β
"But adventure is not for everyone, it needs chance, and one day we came to Chiyan Mountain. Maybe it's because God doesn't die that we finally find an opportunity to break through. β
Seeing that Liang Yao was a little sad, Lin Yun never interrupted him, just listened to him quietly and continued to speak sentence by sentence.
"When we first arrived at Chiyan Mountain, we couldn't even climb halfway up the mountain, and the mountain was very weird. Normally, the higher you climb the peak, the colder it gets, but the higher you go up the Red Flame Mountain, the hotter it gets. It took a lot of effort for us to climb to the top of the mountain. Later, we picked this upβ" Liang Yao gestured to Liang Cheng.
The two brothers each took out a red stone, which was no more than the size of a finger's belly, and lay quietly in the palm of their hand, emitting a faint red light from time to time.
Liang Yao continued: "We went up the mountain and found nothing, but when we were about to go down, we found these two stones. At first, I just thought it was good-looking, and I took it as a souvenir, but later I realized that things were not so simple. β
The two of them smiled bitterly and sighed again, making Lin Yun extremely curious, what kind of power can this little stone have against the sky?
Liang Cheng said, "I'll talk about the rest." These two stones do have magical powers, and our two brothers have been trapped in the second layer of Qi training for so many years, and the night they first picked up the stones, they broke through the third layer of Qi training. Now, a month has passed, and we have even come across the bottleneck of the fourth layer of Qi training. β
Lin Yun swallowed his saliva, this stone is so godly? Mo Zixun once taught him a truth, there is no free lunch in the world. Since he can quickly increase his strength, he must pay a price, just like his cold poison. Because of his cold poison, his cultivation can improve by leaps and bounds.
Lin Yun asked uncertainly, "There should be any side effects, right?"
The two nodded, "Benefactor, look." Liang Cheng lifted his clothes, revealing the injured location to Lin Yun.
It was Lin Yun's turn to be surprised, Liang Cheng's injuries were actually all healed, and he didn't even leave a scar.
Liang Cheng said astringently: "I think the two of us may have been affected by this stone. After speaking, Liang Cheng stretched out his hands, and the nails of his hands became longer at the same time, and the originally transparent nails turned pale cyan, just like the demon beast that Lin Yun defeated with the Ice Dragon Break.
"This -ββ" Lin Yun felt very incredible, Liang Cheng was originally a physical cultivator. The so-called physical cultivation is to specialize in physical arts, and it is rare to practice spells. It can be a headache for many monks who specialize in spells. Now that Liang Cheng has this ability, his melee ability has increased greatly, and Lin Yun can't even imagine how miserable it would be to be scratched by that claw.
"Benefactor, things are far from that simple. Liang Yao also lifted his clothes, "After I woke up today, I found this-" Liang Yao silently used his mana, and his abdomen began to emit a faint blue light.
"I didn't know what it was, but combined with the knowledge of the demon beast that the benefactor told us, I think this is Neidan. Liang Yao's words were amazing.
Could it be that these two people have turned into demon beasts? Lin Yun thought in his heart, there is no reason, how can people become demon beasts.
Liang Cheng had a straight temperament, and when he saw Lin Yun thinking, he asked bluntly, "Benefactor, have we really become demon beasts?"
After thinking for a while, Lin Yun spoke: "This kind of thing is unheard of, but it did happen--as for turning into a demon beast, I don't think it should be." Lin Yun wanted to comfort the two of them first, and then go back and ask the teacher to do so.
Unexpectedly, Liang Yao shook his head and said, "Benefactor, I have observed, this demon beast in the lost forest is slowly losing its mind. But as far as I can see, the benefactor doesn't seem to show any signs of losing his mind, which is enough to conclude that this special power will only make the monster lose his mind. β
After Liang Yao said this, Lin Yun remembered something. At that time, the three of them were near the Formation Eye, and the Formation Eye was undoubtedly the strongest position of special strength, but Lin Yun was not affected in the slightest, and the two brothers suddenly lost their minds. Could it really be that the two brothers have already transformed into demon beasts, as they expected?
After making a trade-off, Lin Yun decided to stabilize the two of them first, and then slowly think of a way in the future, "Two elder brothers, my cultivation days are short, and I don't know much about many mysteries in my cultivation, let me go back and ask the master to give you an answer, you have settled in Hail Snow City during this time, and I will tell you as soon as I have news." β
Hearing Lin Yun say this, the two of them looked a little fixed, who is Lin Yun's master? That is the future patron saint of Snow City, the next generation of the Mo family, in the eyes of many civilians, the Mo family is omnipotent.
"Trouble the benefactor, my two brothers have nothing to repay, so they have to make cattle and horses for the benefactor, and swear to follow the benefactor to the death!" Liang Cheng and Liang Yao knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lin Yun.
Lin Yun felt a little weird, he had always been a somewhat selfish person, but since he was rescued by Mo Bing'er that time, he has been subtly changed.
Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black. Although his personality cannot be completely changed, Lin Yun is still young, and he unconsciously imitates the people around him, such as Mo Zixun, who is usually indifferent and cold in battle, the unscrupulous Jian Er, and the kind Mo Bing'er, and Lin Beize, who values love and righteousness.
Now that he has a friend, Lin Yun is a little moved, he is no longer the waste young master trapped in Anbei City.
"Okay, two brothers, don't do this, I'm just doing my best. If there is nothing else to do, the two elder brothers will go back and rest first, and I will also practice for a while. Lin Yun said politely.
The two glanced at each other, didn't say anything more, and silently withdrew.
Seeing the two of them out of the tent, Lin Yun smiled, and several faces appeared in front of him, the kind father, the stinky Ken'er, and his most trusted master. and, Mo Bing'er's cute face with a fluttering red face.
"I'm coming!" Lin Yun smiled.
