Zheng Liming's life is a life of uprightness, he focuses on magic and fried chicken, but he has no desires and desires, neither participates in various social gatherings of his peers, nor is he indifferent to fashion news, so he can't understand what it means to "put up a flag" at all.

Of course, even if he explained this matter in detail, Zheng Liming would only scoff at it, how could his careful guidance to Bai Xiao in the past few months, and the confidence in victory established under Bai Xiao's amazing feedback, be shaken by mere metaphysics?

The longer he has been in contact with Bai Xiao, the more Zheng Liming can't put down this tribal boy, as far as the demon Taoist is concerned, Bai Xiao's talent is not excellent, far less transparent than his fellow countryman Qingyue, but when it comes to Qingyue, Zheng Liming will have no way to start.

Because it is a monster that can make most of the demon Dao masters doubt their own worth, any theory is a little bit clear, and even no point can be self-taught, close her in the library overnight, she can come up with a paper that shocks the academic world, what is the use of your mentor in this case? Except for Zhu Junshen, a pedantic celestial, there is actually no one in Hongshan Academy who is qualified to be Qingyue's tutor. On the contrary, Bai Xiao, the type who must be helped by someone to establish a direction in his confusion in order to advance by leaps and bounds, is more in line with Zheng Liming's taste.

In fact, this is also the favorite of most teachers - students should be smarter, of course, but not so smart that they don't give the teacher a sense of existence at all, preferably the kind of jade that is naturally dusty and has to be wiped hard to shine.

Bai Xiao is an excellent student who makes Zheng Liming's sense of accomplishment burst like body fat, and his demonic qualifications have many fatal flaws, but once these flaws are overcome, his explosive potential is stronger than anyone else.

This type of student that is difficult to get started and has a very high ceiling is Zheng Liming's best choice as a hardcore tutor.

Corresponding to Zheng Liming's teacher-student group, another focus of attention is a completely different scene.

Also on the top floor of the academy library, in the small library separated from the great master's private study by a wall, Qing Yue was sitting on a stack of books, looking through a heavy historical book in her arms with a solemn face, and every few pages she would casually make some notes on the manuscript paper next to her - if you only look at this scene, it is just an ordinary self-study of top students, in Hongshan Academy, there are countless examples of this kind of like to sink herself into a pile of books and read hard.

However, if you shift the perspective to the girl's notes, you can clearly see that the manuscript paper spread out on the pile of books is covered with scarlet distorted patterns, and the ink pen in the girl's hand is stained with blood-like ink.

The small stacks were at times blazing hot, the heat distorting the light, sometimes cold, frost on the shelves and stacks of books, and sometimes murmuring from infinity away......

When Yuan Shi pushed the door in, he was immediately stunned by this purgatory-like scene: "You are also cursing me to death!?"

Qingyue was interrupted from her thoughts, and she reluctantly stopped writing, and the next moment all kinds of visions in the room were swept away.

Yuan Shi lightly crossed the messy pile of books, jumped to Qingyue's side, and unceremoniously examined the heavy book she was holding in her arms, as well as the manuscript paper on the side of the book, and couldn't help frowning at a glance.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

Qingyue said: "In the eyes of ordinary people, it should be death." He smiled and added, "But I'm afraid that in front of the original teacher, there is a suspicion that the class will have an axe." ”

"Tsk, it's so good at squeezing people, it should be number two, right?"

Qing Yue couldn't help laughing and said: "You said this knowing that I am the number one, right? Hmm, I want to study the content of the ancient and demon wars in addition to the official history, but unfortunately there are not many classics in this area, and the only good heterochromatic war history was snatched away by the teacher, so I can only read some marginal illustrations." However, the author of this diagram obviously knows nothing about the demonic doctrine in ancient times, and although he has a lot of archaeological historical materials in his hands, he does not know how to analyze them, so I have to deduce them myself. ”

"It's really like a teacher and a student, and the thinking circuit is exactly the same. Yuan Shi snorted, "Then do you have any conclusions now?"

Qingyue said: "I dare not say the conclusion, but there are some immature ideas...... First of all, I think Xu Bailian is absolutely suspicious. Ever since I came to the Southern Continent, he was the first person to make me feel unusually uncomfortable. ”

The original poem subconsciously asked: "What about Zheng Liming?"

Qingyue calculated for a moment and said, "Xu Bailian gives me the feeling that there are about seven Zheng Liming superimposed. ”

"Seven, then didn't you fall into the dung pit?" Yuan Shi smiled and then retracted her expression, "And then, what else do you think?"

Qingyue groaned, "Can you just find a chance to kill him?"

"Haha, we thought of this idea together, but unfortunately it is not feasible, first of all, Xu Bailian has been certified innocent by Zhou Yu, so we have no name......"

Qing Yue seriously proposed: "Let the eldest princess do it?"

"She is still playing with the spirit of the savages in southern Xinjiang...... And we can't owe such a big favor, in a sense, it's a big man who is even more unfriendly than Xu Bailian. Yuan Shi said helplessly, "Secondly, for a person who is infected by a foreign body and can come back from the dead, how do you ensure that you can kill him?"

Qing Yue thought about it again and shook her head: "That's right, the concept of death is mostly ineffective for him. “

As he spoke, he flipped through the pages of the book, but the movement of outlining the blood marks did not stop at all, and in a moment, the room became hot again.

Yuan Shi snapped his fingers angrily, suppressed the restlessness of the environment, and asked, "Don't play with fire too much, you should know how dangerous the ancient demonic doctrine is, right?"

"Well, except for the ancestors who established the orthodoxy, almost all the other people who have penetrated through it are dead. Qingyue said, "The so-called Ancient Demon Dao Doctrine is a myriad of forks in the road to death...... This is the warning that was written at the beginning of the Academy's Demon Dao Doctrine. ”

"Yes, it's one of the few textbook warnings that I can agree with - most of the other warnings are just insurance for mediocre people, but the magic is different, especially the ancient heresy, you should know that you are playing with fire, or even committing suicide from the first page of the material!"

Qingyue nodded: "I know." ”

Yuan Shi sighed again: "Although I don't really want to show off my qualifications in this area...... However, you should also know that one-third of the textbooks on the Demonic Dao Doctrine in the academy are all compiled by me, and in the field of Demonic Doctrine, even Old Man Zhu may not be much better than me. And as a veteran lover of demonic anomaly, I must warn you that you have gone too far. ”

As he spoke, Yuan Shi walked to the other side of Qingyue with light steps, and reached out to pick up a piece of manuscript paper covered with blood marks.

"This is the exorcism mark of the sage Ji Yun? tsk, worthy of the princess of the Demon Dao, the lines drawn casually are a hundred times smarter than the sage two thousand years ago, if I were Ji Yun, I would definitely go to the snow mountain to cut off the blood of your ancestors at the cost of nine deaths, and save myself two thousand years after my death...... However, since you can perfect the mutilated exorcism seal that Ji Yun painstakingly invented to this point, you should know that behind this road is a dead end. ”

Qing Yue stopped the paintbrush in his hand and said: "I know, when I saw the primordial mark, I realized that this path was impassable, the sage Ji Yun at that time tried to dig out an element from the void and become the natural enemy of the demon race, he thought too simply, the civilization of the demon race will only be larger and more prosperous than the human race, and the ecology of the demon race is far more complex than that of human beings, how can it be restrained by a certain element? No matter how much his exorcism seal develops, it will not reach his ideal state...... However, what if the target is limited to a certain type of demon race from the entire demon race?"

The original poem was stunned for a moment, and countless words and pictures quickly flashed back in her mind, which were all historical materials she had read, official history, wild history, and even gossip, and there were indeed a few stories in which Ji Yun had mentioned when he first conceived the exorcism seal, and there were also a few successful cases, although it was only the weakest invisible demon in the demon clan that was expelled, but with the beginning of success, Ji Yun ran wild on this road to death, so ......

"Can you determine the exact type of thing?"

Qingyue shook her head: "Of course not, if it is so easy to see through its identity, the first person in the world will not make a clean judgment." ”

"Then what is the point of your current efforts?"

Qing Yue didn't explain directly, but changed the topic, "The exorcism seal that the sage Ji Yun invested all his life in has now become an ancient heresy, and has even become a laughing stock for some descendants. But it is undeniable that the exorcism seal has a miraculous effect on a certain type of demon, and when he first tried his skills, he instantly vaporized the invisible demon. In the same way, during the war between humans and demons, there were thousands of Ji Yun, because of their different circumstances, they carried out research along different directions. The starting point of most of these anomalies is that a certain technology has a miraculous effect on a certain demon race by chance, so it makes the once amazing and brilliant ancestors crazy. Although the vast majority of these disagreements do not reach the end, no matter how much the sages paid for them, they can only stay at the stage of disagreement, and become insignificant passages in today's textbooks, or even negative ones...... But why do we have to go to the end? Is there no value in theories that don't go to the end? I don't think so. ”

Yuan Shi was silent for a long time when he heard this, and showed a palpitating smile: "You know what you're talking about, right?"

"These words, you can only say these words to your senior sister, if you change to a teacher, I'm afraid he won't be able to understand it well. Qingyue said: "If you compare the Demon Daoist to ...... I'm sorry I didn't think of a more appropriate metaphor for a while, in short, the cultivation of the Demon Dao is like a person who wants to make money to support his family, and the righteousness left to us by our ancestors is like an employment contract for a large company. As long as you follow the established path, you can at least have no worries about food and clothing, as for the final achievement, of course, it also depends on the right time, place and people, but at worst, you can have a stable income. And the magic theory, just like buying a lottery ticket, in most cases is lost, and the probability of winning the lottery...... So far, the luckiest people have only slightly subsidized their families with the final prize, and no one has ever won the jackpot for 2,000 years. ”

The original poem thought for a moment: "This metaphor is not bad, and it is precisely because no one has won the jackpot that they are heresies, and they can never replace the orthodox." ”

"In fact, in my opinion, there is no such thing as a jackpot at all, and all the prizes are just the final prize. Anyone who pins their hopes of getting rich on a prize ticket is an undoubted fool. ”

Yuan Shi laughed: "Your words are going to cause protests from heretists. ”

"If they have the courage to stand up to me and speak normally, they are welcome to protest...... However, the more I read the different theories, the more I felt that these things were only insignificant compared to our orthodox theories. Senior sister, you didn't study the Demon Dao Theory at that time to make a fortune, did you?"

"Ahh......h However, the reasons why you chose to study heresy are not quite the same as mine. ”

Qingyue said: "I just said that anyone who tries to make a fortune with a lottery ticket is a fool...... But suppose, what if there is a way to get an unlimited number of tickets for free? Even if the top prize is only the last prize, as long as you can receive an unlimited number of tickets for free, can you make a fortune?"

When Yuan Shi heard this, he already felt a slight tremble: "Do you want to say that you don't need any price to comprehend those demonic theories?"

"Strictly speaking, of course it can't be, it takes time to turn over a book...... It's like an unlimited number of lottery tickets, you have to get them in your hand one by one, scratch them one by one and then claim them. But as long as the process is efficient enough, making a fortune is no longer a joke. ”

After speaking, Qingyue finally put down the book in her hand, then stood up and stretched her waist: "I'm so tired, I'm finally done." ”

Yuan Shi subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

After reading it, there are at least thousands of books in the field of vision, and this Demon Dao princess may only have time to come here to read after the dinner party, in other words......

"You girl, you're just grinning at your seniors. ”

Qingyue smiled: "You will only do this to Senior Sister, because you have done the same thing." ”

"Heh, don't come to praise me, in the same time, I can see at most one-fifth of you, or even one-tenth, and it is impossible to draw a blood mark with the same degree of completion, in terms of demonic talent, you are the only genius who I have to convince too...... So, please tell me, this genius, that you have spent so long, drawn all the prize tickets, and have made a fortune?"

Speaking of which, Yuan Shi had already stood in front of Qingyue, and the two of them were almost close to each other.

Qing Yue shook her head: "No, even if I go through all the books in the collection and exhaust all my deduction ability, I can't find a way to 'make a fortune'." Although the collection of different theories of Hongshan Academy is not the first in the world...... But even if it is in Shengyuan, the result will not make any difference. ”

The original poem said: "It's only going to get worse, don't look at Shengyuan's longer history, but the cultural atmosphere of the Demon Dao over there is much more old-fashioned and old-fashioned, and the four words of the Demon Dao Doctrine are out-and-out evil and demonic foreign paths, and no matter which formal Demon Dao Academy over there will not teach the Doctrine of Alienation." ”

"Then it's no wonder that the dignified Saint Yuan Grandmaster will be directly infected and parasitized by foreign objects outside the sky, they haven't even learned the most basic prevention. ”

Yuan Shi sighed: "It's a good thing that you can think of this layer, but I have a question next: you waste all your time on Xu Bailian, the year-end test the day after tomorrow, do you plan to use beauty tricks to make Bai Xiao be captured?"

"Haha, if you really use a beauty trick, he will only become more warlike. ”

"So what the hell do you want to win!?"

"Of course, I will do my best to win every competition with Xiaobai, and there is no better opponent in this world than him. But this time, I really didn't have the confidence to win him, even if I used it all for targeted training in the past two days...... At least at this moment, the gap in strength between me and him cannot be bridged by either the deep scenery or multiple identities. As for the others, IMHO, in the competition at this level, they do not play any role at all. This is a solo contest between me and Xiaobai, and everyone else can only play supporting roles and even background boards at most. However, although I can't win, at least I'm sure I won't lose. ”

This contradictory statement made the original poem stunned for a while.

After that, the woman smiled meaningfully.

"That's right, it's a battle you can't lose. But be careful, you won't lose, but you may die. ”
