Chapter Eighty-Eight: Witch Xuanyu
"Let's talk about it, Yu'er, how did you end up in this step? How did you turn to cultivating magic skills and become a demon who everyone shouts and beats!"
Under a hidden sand dune, the three monks of the Zhou family and the witch with the child were in the same room, and the faces of the four of them were very strange.
Zhou Minghan looked at the witch who took off her veil with complicated eyes, and looked at the pretty face that he hadn't seen for decades, and his voice trembled a little.
Who would have thought that this witch who practiced the authentic Blood Demon Sect exercises was Zhou Xuanyu, the elder of the Zhou family, who disappeared when the Baisha River Oasis was attacked by sand bandits a few years ago.
This woman, who has been judged to have fallen by the Zhou family, not only did not fall, but succeeded in building the foundation, but became a demon monk who everyone shouted and beaten!
"Woo woo, my granddaughter didn't expect that she would be able to see her grandfather, eldest brother, and Yang'er in her life!"
Zhou Xuanyu, whose face was restored to the age of thirty or forty, looked at the closest relatives of the three clans with a trembling body, and the tears in her beautiful eyes couldn't help but overflow.
Hearing her crying full of grievances and sadness, Zhou Minghan's hard-hearted heart instantly softened, and he couldn't help but hug her head and comfort her softly: "Don't cry, don't cry, Yu'er doesn't cry, grandpa is here, no matter what you become, grandpa won't blame you!"
At this moment, he is no longer the immortal master who wants to kill demons and demons, but just an ordinary grandfather who feels sorry for his granddaughter.
"No, grandpa, it's Yu'er who is not filial, it's Yu'er who can't stand the temptation to be confused by the devil and fall into the devil's way, Yu'er has disgraced the family, Yu'er is sorry for your teachings, Yu'er is sorry for the dead elders and eldest brother for their love, Yu'er regrets it!"
Zhou Xuanyu looked up at Zhou Minghan's old face with tears in her eyes, and her tears were like a river bursting the embankment, instantly wetting her face.
Then there was no need for Zhou Minghan and Zhou Yang's father and son to ask again, she cried and told her experience over the years.
It turned out that in the battle of Jinxia Mountain that day, although she finally used the "flying talisman" given by Zhou Minghan to fly out of the range of Jinxia Mountain, she was still found by the Zhuji sand bandits who were chasing.
At that time, the Zhuji Sand Bandit saw all kinds of spirit runes on her body and guessed her identity as a talisman maker, so he decided to take her captive back and slowly torture her talisman making skills.
Unexpectedly, after the Zhuji Sand Bandit knocked her unconscious and brought her back to the small oasis where she was hiding, the old demon of Blood Moro suddenly appeared and forcibly took her and some other captured Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer Cultivators away.
This old demon took these ninth-level Qi cultivators into his cave mansion to help them build a foundation as a temptation, lured them to turn to demonic skills, and promised that as long as they cultivated demonic skills, he would no longer restrict their freedom, let alone harm them again.
Zhou Xuanyu and some monks were too obsessed with building a foundation to resist this temptation, and agreed to the conditions of Blood Moro and began to practice demonic skills.
At that time, there were more than ten people who turned to demonic skills, but only three people succeeded in the end, and Zhou Xuanyu was one of them.
After the three of them completed the transformation of the magic skills, Blood Moro really did not break his promise, not only distributed a "Earth Yuan Spirit Milk" that could restore the vitality of their bodies, but also gave each of them a "Blood Yuan Treasure Pill" that could increase the success rate of building a foundation by three percent.
Relying on these spiritual elixirs gifted by Blood Moro, Zhou Xuanyu and one of the monks successfully passed the three levels of foundation building and became a demon path foundation building monk.
After they became foundation building monks, Admiral Bloody Mo Rome accepted them as his own disciples, taught them the authentic "Blood Demon Skill", and also gave them two third-order magic weapons for free.
Among them, Zhou Xuanyu regained her youthful appearance after building the foundation, and became a rare female foundation-building monk, so she was accepted as a concubine by Blood Moro, and even gave birth to a daughter for her.
This time, after the ancestor of the Chen family performed the "Ten Thousand Miles Soul Chasing Technique" and took Zhou Yang and others to find the hiding place of Blood Moro, Blood Moro knew that it was difficult to be good today, so he gave Zhou Xuanyu a third-order "Breath Hiding Technique" spirit rune in advance, helping her to restrain her breath and mix in those sand bandits during the Qi training period, so that she could take her daughter to escape from the oasis while the chaos and join him separately.
Unexpectedly, not long after Zhou Xuanyu escaped from the oasis, he met the Huang family patriarch chasing and killing the fleeing Qi cultivation monks, and finally was forced to have no choice but to expose the cultivation to escape, and later met the three members of the Zhou family.
"Grandpa, Yu'er is willing to fall into the devil's way, and it's not a pity to die!"
"But this child is innocent, she is only three years old, and she has never practiced any magic skills!"
"Yu'er, please take in this child, she also has your blood in her, and she is also a member of my Zhou family!"
Zhou Xuanyu said that in the end, he suddenly knelt on the ground, and held the sleeping child in his hand high to Zhou Minghan with tears on his face.
Just like what she herself said, it is not a pity for the demon monk to die, since she began to practice demon skills, she is destined to be impossible to return to the Zhou family, and the Zhou family does not dare to take her in again, otherwise the entire Zhou family, from monks to mortals, will be wiped out by the entire clan involved.
But the child in her hand, the Zhou family, can be adopted, as long as no one knows that the child's parents are demon cultivators, the Zhou family can find a pair of secular mortals for the child to recognize as adoptive parents, and even if someone investigates the child's life history, the most they can find out is that the child's adoptive parents picked her up from the mountain.
Of course, there are still dangers in doing this, for example, Zhou Yang's father and son also know the news, if they accidentally leak their mouths one day, or someone uses a spell such as "Asking the Heart" on them, this secret will not be able to be concealed at that time.
In short, this matter is very dangerous, once it is exposed, there is a danger of extinction, and Zhou Minghan loves this granddaughter again, so he will hesitate at this time.
He could kill the patriarch of the Huang family without hesitation for the sake of his granddaughter, but let him risk the extinction of the clan to adopt the daughter of a demon in the Purple Mansion Period, which made it difficult for him.
"Xiao Jiu, Xuan Hao, what do you think?"
He didn't pick up the child in Zhou Xuanyu's hands, but looked at Zhou Yang's father and son with flickering eyes, and his face was full of hesitation.
"This ......" Zhou Xuanhao and Zhou Yang, father and son, glanced at each other, and they both felt very uncomfortable.
Zhou Minghan's worries are also their worries, as family decision-makers, when they make such decisions related to the safety of the family, they obviously can't just rely on personal feelings to decide.
"Godmother, does this child have a spiritual root? What kind of attribute is the spiritual root? I heard that the descendants of the Demon Dao monks, maybe because of their parents' cultivation of demonic skills, the spiritual root attribute is likely to be naturally biased towards the attributes of their demonic skills!"
Zhou Yang looked at his stepmother Zhou Xuanyu with solemn eyes, and suddenly asked a question that made everyone look stunned.
This question, at first glance, has nothing to do with what they are going to decide now, but among the few people present, which one is not a human spirit who has lived for many years?
After being stunned for a moment, several people immediately understood what he meant, and then Zhou Minghan and Zhou Xuanhao's faces also became solemn.
What Zhou Yang said is actually very reasonable.
The Demon Dao Exercises are very compatible with each other, and basically except for a few monks with special physiques who are born with the opposite of the Demon Skill and it is difficult to cultivate, nine out of ten monks can transfer to a certain kind of Demon Skill.
And the descendants of these monks who practice demonic skills, if they have spiritual roots, the spiritual root attributes may be affected and deflected, and become alienated attributes that fit the demonic skills.
Taking the Blood Demon Sect as an example, the most suitable for this demonic skill are the Blood Spirit Root and the Dark Spirit Root, and the spirit roots of these two attributes will not appear in normal people at all under normal circumstances.
And the monks who have these alienated spiritual roots can basically only practice the relevant magic skills, and if they practice other immortal dao exercises, they will do half the work, and it will be difficult to achieve anything in their lives.
The most important thing is that these monks who have alienated spiritual roots, after they start to practice, their mana will naturally have the characteristics of alienated spiritual roots, and when the time comes, everyone will know that this person has alienated spiritual roots and is the descendant of demonic demons.
If the child in Zhou Xuanyu's hands really had the qualification of alienating the spiritual root, then the Zhou family would definitely not dare to adopt her, because it would be self-defeating.
"No, Yao'er, she is a medium-grade spiritual root with the dual attributes of spiritual root and fire, and she has absolutely nothing to do with the alienated spiritual root, grandpa, you can test it yourself. Zhou Xuanyu also knew the subconscious meaning of Zhou Yang's words, she shook her head desperately with tears on her pretty face, and handed the child in her hand again.
Zhou Minghan didn't refuse again this time, he took the little girl who had been hit by the "Sleeping Technique" into his hand, and directly used the "Spiritual Detection Technique" to detect the girl's spiritual root.
The results proved that Zhou Xuanyu was indeed not lying, under the effect of "Spiritual Detection", the girl's body rose with a blue and red two-color spiritual light of seven feet and seven feet, and it was indeed a medium-grade spiritual root with the attributes of the spiritual root of wood and fire.
When Zhou Minghan saw this scene, his eyes couldn't help showing a hint of relaxation, and he was greatly relieved in his heart, and then he turned his gaze to Zhou Yang and asked, "Xiao Jiu, what do you think?"
"Since there is no alienation spiritual root, then of course our Zhou family has to accept this child, the godmother is right, since she has the blood of our Zhou family, we should adopt her in a reasonable way. ”
Zhou Yang agreed without any hesitation this time, and his tone was very firm.
He said so, and of course Zhou Xuanhao would not object, so that the matter was almost certain.
When Zhou Xuanyu heard his words, his pretty face suddenly showed ecstasy, and he cried with joy and bowed to the three of them again and again to thank him: "Thank you grandpa, thank you big brother, thank you Xiaojiu, your great kindness, Yu'er can only repay it in the next life!"
"Godmother, what are you doing here?"
Zhou Yang's face was shocked, and he hurriedly helped Zhou Xuanyu up, shocked by her words.
"Hehe, Xiao Jiu, don't you still understand? If the godmother is alive, how can the demon of Blood Moro let go of the godmother and the Zhou family? You don't know, the godmother, I have the [Soul Burning Blood Curse] he planted, and with this, he can find me even if he is thousands of miles away, and he can even cast a decree through the air to burn my whole body's essence blood and soul together. ”
"Besides, no matter how much hard I have to do it, godmother, it is an irrefutable fact that I practice demonic skills, as a demonic monk, if I am alive and recognized, wouldn't I have to implicate the entire Zhou family to bury me with me?"
Zhou Xuanyu smiled miserably, but he had already seen through his life and death.
"Yu'er, you...... Hey!" Zhou Minghan's mouth moved, and in the end he could only hold back a long sigh and didn't say anything.
And when Zhou Yang heard Zhou Xuanyu say this, his face was also bitter, and he didn't know how to answer.
