"Not for this. Li Xiao shook his head, glanced at Xiaoshan, who was already lying on the ground, shaking Erlang's legs, and sighed: "Old ghost, I think that Xiaoshan's cultivation of a demon body so quickly may not be all good for it." ”

The old ghost glanced at Li Xiao strangely, thought about it, and then said hesitantly: "Are you worried that it is still too young?"

"I knew you'd understand. Li Xiao said: "Watching Xiaoshan jump around like a little monkey all day long, I want it to grow up quickly, and now I see that it is about to cultivate into a demon body, and I am a little relieved, after all, its heart is still a child." Alas, this feeling is really strange, Xiaoshan, you come here. ”

Xiaoshan jumped up with a snort, and a somersault fell on the old ghost's shoulder, looked at Li Xiao, and then looked at the old ghost, and said strangely: "Hey, what are you two doing, why do you look sad?"

Li Xiao sat up straight and said solemnly: "Xiaoshan, the demon clan, except that each person has his own life and different talents. There are only two ways to increase demonic power, one is to absorb the essence of heaven and earth by instinct over the years, and the mana grows with age. One is to devour humans or other demon races and absorb their natal true elements. But since we met, and you have been with me, I have never let you eat a single person for two hundred years, do you know why?"

The hill was lying on the old ghost's shoulder, and was pulling his beard one by one, and it pulled and then let go, and then again, and then again. The muscles of the old ghost's face loosened and tightened with its movements. Xiaoshan was having a lot of fun, and said absentmindedly: "I know! I'm young, you're afraid that I'll have a bad stomach." ”

"That's what I coaxed you, how can the monster's stomach be so squeamish. Li Xiao smiled bitterly: "Last time I bought you a KFC, you ate it with a plate." The box of blocks I bought for you to play with last time, I forgot to make it clear, and you also ate it. And the two electric transformers from the previous time, which you also ate. Over the years, you don't know how much you've eaten cups, plates, dishes, towels, toothbrushes, and other messy things, and how many times have you ever broken your stomach? Not to mention that the youkai clan are born to feed on people, how can eating people eat bad stomachs? Only you, a little fool, believe my nonsense. ”

Xiao Shan Zhen finally let go of the old ghost's beard, and looked at Li Xiao with wide eyes, if it was in normal times, it should have already made a tiger jump, viciously helping Li Xiao make the latest hairstyle. But now Li Xiao's expression is very different from his usual grinning appearance, so that the naughty little mountain can't make trouble, it tilts its little head, looks at Li Xiao pitifully, and says aggrievedly: "Then why are you coaxing me?"

"I don't let you eat people, in fact, there is a reason, now that your demon body is about to grow up, you can be regarded as an adult, and I don't plan to hide it from you anymore. Li Xiao pondered for a while, and said: "Old ghost, you are also well-read, you should know the reason for this better than me, you can say it to Xiaoshan! Hey, old ghost, talking about serious things! What are you doing with your eyebrows?" The old ghost grinned, wrinkled his nostrils, and half of his face kept twitching, Li Xiao suddenly saw it, and was almost startled by his strange appearance.

"Do you think I want to do this?" said the old ghost with a sad face, "I didn't just know that you were talking about business, so I didn't dare to interrupt!"

Although the old ghost is a yin spirit, he has successfully condensed and refined the ghost body, and although his body is purely an empty shell compared to a normal human, as far as he is concerned, the various feelings are no different. Xiao Shan Yan pulled his beard one by one, the old ghost saw Li Xiao talking about business, he had just been flattened by Xiao Shan, and his heart palpitations had not disappeared, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it, after half a day, the muscles of half of his face were suddenly jumping, and they were almost out of his control, how could there be anything good?

"Xiaoshan, you sit honestly, don't mess around, you're about to become an adult, we have to make some things clear to you. Looking at Li Xiao's rare serious appearance, Xiaoshan also gave a rare hum, and obediently sat up straight on the old ghost's shoulder.

"The demon clan is born with blood food, cannibalism of essence and blood, and the life of people, blood food is the most common way to increase mana, since ancient times, it is better than that. The old ghost rubbed his cheeks, his expression became stern, and he said slowly: "Heaven and earth circulate, the world is surging, life and death are born, and there is reincarnation." The human world is endless, and it is precisely because of the way of reincarnation. The demon clan feeds on people, and although it is natural to do so, the humans buried in the mouth of the demon clan are often not even allowed to regenerate their souls. Therefore, demons and ghosts cannibalize people, although they have to show their appetite and gradually increase their demonic power, but they have disturbed the avenue of reincarnation of heaven and earth, and have created invisible karma. The stronger the demonic power, the deeper the karma, and finally the curse comes, and the end will be extremely miserable. ”

Xiao Shan rolled his small eyes and said in surprise: "Could it be that our monsters who have cultivated to become demon immortals can't resist karma?"

The old ghost smiled bitterly: "If a monster is riddled with karma, he will never want to cultivate into a demon immortal, even if he cultivates for 10,000 years, he will always be a monster." As soon as the karma is completed, the demon is born in the heart, and it is not something that can be resisted by demonic power at all. Therefore, if the demons do not attack, there is nothing, and once they attack, they will be out of control, so it is called the curse of heaven. ”

Xiaoshan didn't understand what he heard, thought about it, and said, "If the demon attacked, what would be the end?"

"The soul is scattered, and there is no form and spirit!"

Li Xiao said: "You understand, right? For so many years, I didn't let you eat people, because I was worried that you would be entangled in karma and inadvertently planted demons in your heart. ”

Xiaoshan looked at Li Xiao with wide eyes, and said aggrievedly: "But before, you didn't let me eat people, because I was young and worried that I would lose my stomach." You also said that when I grow up, I can eat as many people as I want, and you have been lying to me all along?"

Li Xiao smacked his lips helplessly and said, "I lied to you, but I'm also for your good!"

Xiaoshan was not happy, grabbed the old ghost's beard, and said dissatisfiedly: "I don't do it, why can other monsters eat it, I can't eat it?"

When the old ghost saw that Xiaoshan couldn't get along with his beard again, he hurriedly grabbed the root of his beard, and competed with Xiaoshan like a tug-of-war, and said in his mouth: "Xiaoshan, don't make trouble, listen to me tell you." Once the demon clan is riddled with karma, it will leave an imprint in the life element, which will never be erased, although they will not feel it, but people with advanced Taoism will notice the difference from afar. You have been adrift in human society for hundreds of years and have been able to live at ease, except for the fact that the magic is now declining and there are few cultivators in the crowd, the two of you have no karma, which is also one of the important reasons. Your eldest brother won't let you eat people, it's really for your good!"

Li Xiao said with a smile: "Xiaoshan, you will soon cultivate into a demon body, and then you can also shape a human body like me, live in the crowd, and don't have to stay in this basement from time to time." Fuck, you little bastard, you don't have to suspect me secretly spending time outside drinking and drinking in the future. If you want to, you can do this kind of thing. There's a lot more delicious than people out there, why do you always want to eat people?"

"Whew!" Xiao Shan was happy when he heard this, and with a strange scream, he jumped from the old ghost's shoulder to Li Xiao's head, and then jumped back from Li Xiao's head to the old ghost's shoulder. Dancing happily, when it finally quieted down, Li Xiao and the old ghost couldn't help but shake their heads at each other, and at the same time gave each other a sympathetic look at each other's non-mainstream explosive hairstyles.

"Xiaoshan, you are an adult, I can't control you everything, and I can't watch you all the time. Li Xiao said, his face gradually became serious, and said, "Maybe you will find the same kind, and you will also know other monsters." I don't care if you like to play outside, who you know, what you do. But there's one thing you have to remember, you can't eat people like other monsters, you know?"

Xiao Shanzhen was squatting on the table, his eyes were rolling around, and he didn't know what he was thinking, when he heard Li Xiao's words, he waved his little paw impatiently, and said, "I know!

"Xiaoshan, I mean seriously. Seeing Xiao Shan's perfunctory look, Li Xiao's face sank, and he said in a deep voice: "Xiao Shan, if I find out that you dare to eat people, our feelings will be written off, and you will be without me as a big brother from now on." ”

When Xiao Shanzhen, who was fantasizing about a better life as an adult, heard this, his two chaotic eyes suddenly froze, and he was stunned for a moment, before he turned his head and muttered, "What do you mean?"

It stared at Li Xiao blankly for a moment, then suddenly jumped up with a snort, raised its little paws and grabbed Li Xiao's head and face, and shouted: "When did I say that I ate people, what do you mean by that? What is a write-off? You say you say, you explain it to me clearly." ”

Li Xiao waved his hand, and with a "snap", Xiao Shan shot back and stuck to the wall. Li Xiao said with a calm face: "Don't think I'm joking with you, you're about to be an adult, I don't have the heart to talk nonsense with you, what I said is true! ”

Xiao Shanzhen slid down from the wall, looked at Li Xiao fixedly for a moment, his eyes were red, and he suddenly cried. Immediately after that, he scurried around, only to hear the "bang" of the heavy ironwood gate, and Xiao Shanzhen had already crashed open the gate and rushed out.

Li Xiao looked at the shaking gate in a daze, and only reacted after a while, and jumped to his feet angrily and scolded: "Look at it, look at what this looks like, this little bastard, just say it and run away." ”

The old ghost looked at the door, then at Li Xiao, sighed, and said, "I didn't say you, you did something wrong this time? How can you talk to Xiaoshan in such a strict tone?

Li Xiao exhaled angrily: "What's wrong with me? Didn't you see that I was talking about the right thing? If I wasn't serious, how could it go to my heart?"

"The question is, when are you going to be the eldest brother?" the old ghost said with a smile: "You are used to playing with it, how can it accept it if you teach it such a stern tone all of a sudden?"

Li Xiao widened his eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you talking about, old ghost! When did I not take it seriously?" Li Xiao said, scratching his head a little weakly, remembering that in addition to being in front of outsiders, facing the old ghost and Xiaoshan, he seemed to be not serious. It's a bit of a failure to see himself! This big brother has no prestige.
