Chapter 4: The Son of the Demon
"Ran'er, my mother knows that you can't practice. Bai Zhi's face became more and more pale, and her eyebrows were full of guilt and distress: "It's also strange to say that my mother, if I hadn't insisted on bringing you into this Yuanling Inn back then, these things wouldn't have happened." ”
"Mother, don't misunderstand the meaning of the child!" Bai Ran heard this, and knelt down in front of Bai Zhi, his eyes were slightly red: "If it wasn't for my mother who picked me up and returned to the inn back then, how could the child have survived until now?" ”
When Bai Ran was a baby, how could a baby who was abandoned in the mountains and forests and couldn't open his eyes survive for a moment in the mountains and forests full of wild beasts? When he saw a little life about to die miserably, Bai Zhi, who had just come to the Heyang region, happened to find him.
Bai Zhi, as one of the Nine Demons of the Heavenly Desolation, has been concentrating on cultivating demonic power for thousands of years, and her relatives and sisters have already left one by one under the long river of time, or killed by the human race, or dying due to the arrival of the limit. Until now, only Bai Zhi is left to live alone in the world. Seeing this relict son in the forest, her pity suddenly rose, and she thought to herself, speaking of which, her Bai Zhi and this baby have the same fate, they are both helpless and living alone in this vast world.
Bai Zhi has been fighting with the Terran monks for many years, no matter whether she wins or loses, she has long been tired of it, and at this time, when she bumped into this poor widow, a thought suddenly flashed in her mind, why didn't she take off the demon's coat in this Heyang City and live a quiet life like an ordinary human race? Bai Zhi is already arrogant, and she doesn't like to consider the consequences of doing things.
......
In less than three days, in the eastern suburbs of Heyang City, the sign of the Yuanling Inn was erected high, Bai Zhi stood in the sunlight at the door of the inn, looking at the little baby smirking in her arms, and the corners of her beautiful mouth smiled, and she was very beautiful.
"Little one, from today onwards, please take care of me in the future. ”
In the following years, Mo Li, Mr. Yao and others also joined one after another, which led to today's Yuanling demons.
Bai Zhi listened to what Bai Ran said, and her heart couldn't help but warm, but she shook her head and said: "But after all, I personally took out the spiritual root in your body, so that you are a human race, but you can't cultivate spiritual power, and watch your children suffer from the cold eyes and ridicule of outsiders all day long, how can your mother not regret it?"
Bai Ran shook his head resolutely again: "What happened back then, the child's heart is like a mirror, if the mother is not helpless, how can she bear to take out the child's spiritual root? In the final analysis, the mother is still to save the child's life." ”
The way of cultivation of the human race is the process of absorbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth into the body and using it through refining!
And the link of absorbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth depends on the most important thing in the human race's body, the spiritual root!
This spiritual root is a spiritual thing that has been accompanied in the body of the human race since it was born, and it has an important role in communicating the spiritual power of heaven and earth and guiding absorption!
Bai Ran was picked up and raised by Bai Zhi when he was a baby, and he has lived under the care of the demons of the Yuanling Inn since he was a child.
Although the demons regard him as their own, the physique of the human race and the demon is always different.
In addition, the demons of the Yuanling Inn are all profound, and even if the overwhelming demonic aura is suppressed, it still permeates the Yuanling Inn in the slightest.
Although Bai Zhi has used means to cover up the demonic qi so that outsiders cannot detect it, the demonic qi still exists. If some Terran monks were naturally able to resist this demonic aura, but for the young Bai Ran, the impact was simply unbearable for him, and the spiritual root with the effect of absorbing spiritual power and this diffuse demonic aura were like fire and water, and they were completely incompatible.
Finally, when Bai Ran was three years old, he couldn't hold it anymore as he lived in an environment surrounded by demonic energy all day long.
The demonic qi invaded the body for many years, and the spiritual root in the body collided, and his life hung by a thread, and he was about to lose his life in an instant.
Although Bai Zhi's demonic power is monstrous, he is still helpless against the fundamental contradiction between spiritual power and demonic energy, seeing that Bai Ran is about to die in Huangquan, Mr. Yao, who has impermanent medical skills, finally said a method with great risk, that is, let Bai Zhi use demonic power to forcibly remove the spiritual root in Bai Ran's body!
As soon as this method was proposed, even the demons in the Yuanling Inn gasped, the importance of the spiritual root of the human race was no less than the demon pill in the demon body, it was an innate source thing, once lost, no one knew what the result would be.
But this spiritual root is the root cause of Bai Ran's body rejection, think about it, and only this method can save Bai Ran's life.
In a hurry, Bai Zhi had to agree, but once this method was implemented, all the spiritual roots in Bai Ran's body must be removed, and if there was a little remnant, the backlash would still exist.
Even Bai Zhi, who has demonic power, still stayed awake for three days and three nights, and finally eliminated all the spiritual roots in Bai Ran's body little by little!
Although the process was difficult, what was surprising was that Bai Ran, who had lost his spiritual root, finally survived.
Without the rejection of the spiritual root, Bai Ran gradually adapted to the demon qi, and there was no more trouble. It's just that he has permanently lost the ability to practice.
"The removal of the spiritual root in the child's body is caused by the destiny of heaven, why should the mother blame herself. Bai Ran looked at Bai Zhi softly, his eyes were full of warmth: "I have read the four characters of human determination to win heaven in the book, although God does not allow me to embark on the path of cultivation, but the child will never compromise!"
"A good person will win the day!" Uncle Tiger shouted with a smile: "The boss doesn't have to blame herself anymore, there are not a few strange things in the world, even the two incompatible things of demons and human races can live in peace and stability in this Yuan Ling Inn, who can guarantee that things that can be cultivated without spiritual roots will not happen?"
"That's it!" Gu Yun also echoed: "There are many people with excellent medical skills in the world, the people in our inn have no ability, and not necessarily other people in the world are also incapable, maybe one day when you meet a peerless miracle doctor can cure Bai Ran's physical problems!"
Bai Zhi looked at Bai Ran's face full of determination, and heard the demons' words of comfort, although she knew that there was little hope for Bai Ran's spiritual root problem, she had a sense of confidence for no reason, and immediately smiled: "Then it is even more important to run the inn well, and save enough money to hire a divine doctor in the future!"
Bai Ran knew that his mother's mood had improved, so he smiled and slowly got up, and when he got up, the bronze tripod in his arms fell to the ground, attracting the eyes of all the demons.
Bai Ran slapped his head, he only cared about comforting his mother before, but he forgot all about Jin Lian.
"Mother, there are two things in the Zhonghuang Tower, except for the Emperor Dragon Battle Sutra, it is the golden lotus in this bronze tripod. Bai Ran leaned over to pick it up and handed it to Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi received it in his hand, and saw that the golden lotus was made of something I didn't know, the whole body was crystal clear, and a little golden light was entwined in the middle, and the appearance was quite exquisite.
Bai Zhi looked at it for a long time, then frowned and said, "This golden lotus is full of spiritual energy, and it should be something held by a human monk." ”
"Could it be that a spiritual artifact is not successful?" Bai Ran asked suspiciously.
The spiritual weapon is a self-generated spiritual treasure between heaven and earth, and it is also one of the most important means for the human monks to resist the enemy.
"I don't know how many human spirit weapons I have seen in my mother's life, which of those spirit weapons is not full of spirituality. Bai Zhi shook her head and said: "This golden lotus is definitely not a spiritual weapon, although the spiritual energy is entangled, but there is no half of spirituality at all, it is just a dead thing that contains spiritual power, and this situation is generally a high-level monk who practices it casually, and this golden lotus is probably this list." ”
Feeling that this golden lotus was of no value, Bai Zhi suddenly lost interest, handed the golden lotus back to Bai Ran's hand, and walked towards the stairs with a yawn.
"Go to bed early, don't be late for morning classes in the academy tomorrow. A faint voice came from the staircase.
"Academy..."Bai Ran had a headache for no reason when he heard this.
