08 Heart Beads
"Old man Xuankong! The donor doesn't have to worry about his appearance, the appearance of mortals is just empty skin, so why should he care about these external things. "Xuankong hopes that this person who is occupied by demons can abandon distracting thoughts and calm down.
"Master Xuankong, if the demons in this body cannot be exorcized, what will be the final consequences?" Du Ju held his breath, wanting to hear his end.
"Not only the body, but even the soul will be invaded by demons, and in the end, the donor may become a demon forever and cannot be recovered."
There was a 'buzz' sound in his brain, and he felt like he had been struck by lightning, and his brain began to be chaotic, his dilated pupils showed his fear and uneasiness, he took a step back, and said in a trembling voice: "You, what did you say?" ”
"What an injustice." He took out a box from his sleeve, and then opened the box, and there was a white bead with a cold light inside, he took out the white bead, and said: "This Buddha bead is called the heart protection bead, as long as the donor takes it, if one day the demon in the body is revived again, then this pill can protect the soul of the donor from being infected by the demon, and can also protect the human nature of the donor." ”
"Keeping the soul? Will my body still be taken over by demons? The monarch of Chiyan City in this main hall, since he has been devoured by demons, how can you tell this lord to tolerate it? Du Ju felt angry and scared when he thought about it.
"The body dissipates, the soul is immortal, as long as there is a breath remaining, it may not be impossible to repeat the original appearance, but it depends on the donor's own creation." Thinking of this, Xuankong couldn't help but be a little worried, "It's just that now the donor is possessed by the demon spirit and can't move around easily, and the mana of the old man can only temporarily suppress the demon spirit in the donor's body, but after a long time, or the demon caster will spell the demon spirit again, I am afraid that the donor will not be able to prevent the evil spirit from invading the body by his own strength, or stay in the temple and concentrate on cultivating the Buddha together, presumably relying on the Buddha may be able to clear the demon spirit in the body." ”
"Let the lord stay in this kind of place, do you know that now that Chiyan City has been usurped by traitors, if the lord does not return to the city, will he not let this city fall into the hands of treacherous people." Du Ju thought of Kongjing's anger, and the anger in his heart increased.
"And what will the benefactor do?"
A simple question was dumbfounded, yes, now that his face is ruined, and he is possessed by demons, how can the people of Chiyan City trust a city lord who is possessed by demons, not to mention, the government is controlled by Kong Jing, and the military power is also controlled by him, even if he finds those loyal ministers now, I am afraid that they will not believe that they are the lord of a city, and even if they step out of this temple, they may be killed by Kong Jing, and in the end it will be empty.
"So what should the Lord do? How can the Lord let go of the rebel? ”
"The donor will understand that your letting go is a blessing to Chiyan City, only your return will calm everything, if you step into the city again, I am afraid that it will set off a bigger storm, and it will still be the hopeless creatures of Chiyan City who will suffer."
"What should I do, according to the master? Let the owner live here for the rest of his life? Du Ju thought that he would devote himself to cultivating Buddha for the rest of his life, and his heart was full of anger.
"What's the difference where you are, it's just that the donor's mood is different, Chiyancheng should let the young people take care of it, for the donor yourself, why don't you let go of those obsessions?"
"Young people? My son? Du Ju felt guilty when he thought of Xuanming, and he didn't know if he was safe and sound now, or if he was killed by Kongjing, but judging from Chao Ya's protection of himself, Xuanming should be fine. He saw that he was heartbroken, but he didn't dare to face it, just saying that he had been cruel to him in the past ten years was enough to make him hate himself, not to mention that he was like this now, and how could he let himself see him again, it seemed that he really had to hide in the world, and he sighed: "Then I will disturb the master Qingxiu, but a person like me who is possessed by demons is afraid that this place will be muddy." ”
"The donor can think like this, even if he is possessed by a demon spirit, he will not make this pure place turbid, but please take this heart protection bead."
Du Ju took the cold bead there, swallowed it down, and suddenly felt a cramping pain in his heart, as if there were two forces fighting fiercely in his body, he roared out loud in pain, his weak will was a little chaotic, and he fainted again.
When Xuankong saw the fainting Duju, he immediately sighed, he helped him up and put him on the bed, then sat aside, closed his eyes and meditated, and began to recite the scriptures.
The outside of the temple is quiet and elegant, with birds singing and insects singing, so comfortable. All this place is like a fairyland, but there is a powerful evil aura, this suppressed evil aura is ready to move, and the tranquility and serenity are eroded and contaminated by evil desires, as if to destroy this realm, licking the smell of fresh blood. However, the suppressed soul cannot be freed from the shackles, and can only hide, waiting for the opportunity to be reborn.
...............
The city was silent.
All the palace people and courtiers felt strange, since the city lord was brought back by General Kong Jing, no one had seen him honored again, and I heard Kong Jing say that the city lord was frightened to the point that his condition worsened, and he needed to recuperate in peace and not let outsiders disturb him.
All the officials in the city court were in an uproar when they heard this, and the officials with high sensitivity had already sniffed out that the city court would undergo major changes, worried that the city was seriously ill, and they were afraid that the city court would have a new master, and the city lord had no heirs, and the only young master died of illness on the way to exile ten years ago.
But Yuyao Chengfu was somehow ordered by the lord to imprison the city government, and now it is obvious that General Kongjing is the most likely to be in charge of the city court, not to mention that he is deeply favored by the city lord and holds the military power, and many subordinates in the city are ordered by him, so it is understandable that he will become the next city lord, but what is the condition of the city lord, but all the courtiers have not seen it with their own eyes, and they can't help but have some doubts. Because every time the courtiers wanted to go to the 'Yuehua Pavilion' to meet the city lord, they were stopped by Kong Jing's subordinates and were not allowed to meet him, so until now, the city lord's condition could not be known, and he could only speculate out of thin air.
Some of those who knew how to see the wind and steer took refuge in Kongjing at this time, hoping that one day he would be able to promote himself if he became the lord of the city, while some were still in a wait-and-see attitude, watching the development of the situation, and some of the remaining old ministers said that they would also support the city lord, but the people were weak, and Kongjing began to detain them in large numbers on charges of rebellion or intrusion on the lord's retreat.
Chiyan City fell into a state of gloom.
In the general's mansion, Kong Jing has been staying in the dark room, where the dark room is specially built by himself to cast spells, the room is dark and damp, and there are some dark things such as skeletons, giant snakes, and poisonous scorpions on display. And now he is holding a poisonous scorpion in his hand, the venom of the scorpion tail does not stop dripping, dripping into a square box like a heart, the heart is dark black, with the increase of the venom drop by drop, the color gradually darkens, but the heart seems to be protected by some white light, dark blood can not infect the heart.
