Chapter Twenty-Four: Removing the Demons

"Senior brother. What is the inner demon?"

Zhang Feiyang flipped through the entire "Qi Refining Technique" and didn't find two words, and when he saw that someone mentioned these two words for the first time, he naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity to ask, so he pulled the senior brother to ask again and again.

Seeing Zhang Feiyang's face full of worry and anxiety, the senior brother didn't hide his secrets, and explained to Zhang Feiyang in 1510: "The demon is ......."

It turns out that the so-called inner demon is actually the product of the mutation of the immortal cultivator's heart after being seriously affected by the external environment.

To put it simply, the heart demon is the heart of an immortal cultivator, but it is like spoiled food.

When this person has a demon, it will naturally become difficult to cultivate immortals.

And this thing is still unique to immortal cultivators.

Because, when cultivating immortals, they need to guide the hidden aura in their bodies out, and through the cultivation of aura, they can achieve the purpose of going to heaven and earth and asking immortals.

In this way, the aura in the body of the immortal cultivator is like a pool of spring water that will not be exhausted, and it is constantly filled in the body all the time, although it can nourish the cultivator's body well, but at the same time, once the cultivator's heart is affected by worldly things, the heart of the immortal cultivator begins to waver, and even indulges in worldly things, the aura will become a hotbed for the cultivation and growth of the inner demon.

After the inner demons appeared, they would create all kinds of illusions that affected the feelings of the immortal cultivators themselves.

They will gradually devour the aura in the body of the immortal cultivator, and the more they devour, the stronger the illusion they create, making it more difficult for the immortal cultivator to break free.

When the aura in the body is devoured, the inner demon will begin to devour the consciousness of the immortal cultivator.

Once the inner demon successfully devours the consciousness of the immortal cultivator, the original immortal cultivator will completely turn into a walking corpse that can only hunt and kill immortal cultivators.

Because, in order to meet the requirement of continuing to devour the aura, the heart demon will replace the original owner, manipulate this body, and take the initiative to attack the immortal cultivator.

But this is actually tantamount to self-destruction of realization.

A walking corpse that has long been devoid of aura in its body can neither control the magic weapon, nor can it use the magic power that requires aura to use, and its strength is obvious, far inferior to a real immortal cultivator.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, as an immortal cultivator, no one would want to have demons.

But this is actually an unavoidable topic for any immortal cultivator.

Only mortals can ignore their demons.

They don't have an aura channeling from their bodies, so they don't need to worry about suddenly turning into a walking dead one day.

However, if you look at it from another angle, the demon is actually a kind of chance, or a fortune.

The sooner or later the appearance of the heart demon will directly determine whether this immortal cultivator's future path of immortal cultivation will soon come to an end, and there is still a great prospect to go further.

It's like a mortal notion.

The older a person is, the less likely it is to change their mindset.

And the younger you are, the easier it is to quickly correct your wrong ideas, set things right in time, and find yourself in the right direction and path.

The same goes for demons.

The higher the cultivation level, the more dangerous it is when the demons appear, the easier it is to slump and fall, making hundreds or even hundreds of thousands of years of hard work fall short.

The earlier the appearance of the heart demon, the lower the realm, although it is already difficult for the immortal cultivator himself to eliminate the heart demon, but in the future on the road of cultivating immortals, he will no longer worry about when the influence of the heart demon will suddenly appear.

"That's probably all I know about demons. Senior Brother Zhang, is there anything else you'd like to ask?"

This sentence brought Zhang Feiyang back to reality from his long-term thoughts.

He shook his head, bowed gratefully to the senior brother in front of him, and turned around and went back to his hut.

That night, in order to fight against the demons, Zhang Feiyang was ready and put a rope around the beam around his neck to prevent himself from leaving the bed.

In this way, once the demon strikes again and he is asked to do something out of the ordinary, he will have a strong feeling of discomfort and suffocation because of the rope around his neck, and he will have to stay where he is and continue to meditate cross-legged.

However, when he woke up the next morning, he found that he had not been able to stay in bed.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that there were herbs in all directions, and then he looked back, the first thing that caught his eye was a small door, Zhang Feiyang looked up and looked at the sky again, and saw the dark clouds covering the top, lightning and thunder, it seemed that it was going to rain in a while, and he actually came to the courtyard outside the house unconsciously.

I only heard a loud "click" explode in the air, a lightning bolt fell, and when I landed, a loud noise spread throughout the valley, and a pouring rain really poured down.

The rain soaked Zhang Feiyang's clothes.

Zhang Feiyang didn't feel that his body was cold, thinking that this was the result of his inner demons, but he didn't know last night, seeing that his inner demons were getting more and more serious, he felt cold in his heart, and ran back to the house, too late to take off his clothes, he first meditated cross-legged to check the strength of the aura in his body.

"Sure enough. Senior brother is right. The heart demon will devour the aura, and it has already begun to devour my aura. Last night alone, I lost one-tenth of my aura, and it would take me at least a month of cultivation to replenish so much. ”

Zhang Fei raised his brows, stood up, paced back and forth in the hut, and pondered, not even realizing when the clothes on his body had dried out.

His expression was colorful, sometimes nervous, sometimes excited, sometimes disappointed, and sometimes full of unwillingness.

After two or three full meals, he heard someone knocking on the door outside and coming in, and an enthusiastic senior sister brought him dinner, and Zhang Feiyang returned to reality from his long contemplation.

But now that the situation of the demons in his heart is 100,000 urgent, how can he be in the mood to eat?

After taking the meal, thanking the senior sister, and just closing the door, Zhang Feiyang pondered for a moment and made a difficult decision.

Early the next morning, after getting up, seeing that his person was still lying on the bed, the aura in his body was still reduced, it seemed that there was a demon in his heart last night, Zhang Feiyang didn't dare to delay any longer, went to the kitchen of the alchemy department and took a bunch of sweet potatoes and radishes, filled a whole sack, and secretly left the alchemy department, and came to the cave where Xiang Dong died.

Because, Xiang Dong's matter is still under Huodan's investigation, although it has been discovered by people from other ministries, but no department has started to build a new house here for the time being.

After Zhang Feiyang arrived at the cave, he saw that the surroundings were still as remote, quiet, and uninhabited as before, so he breathed a sigh of relief and decisively walked into the cave and began to meditate and cultivate.

In order to completely get rid of the demons, Zhang Feiyang has guessed the generation of demons to some extent.

I'm afraid it has something to do with the fact that I peeked into what Huo Dan and the female senior sister did that night, and the fragrant picture is estimated not to be addicted to it.

Who made him a 17-year-old boy?

It is the age of the flesh and blood.

But that's the biggest problem.

If he is still a mortal, he has fantasies and expectations about this kind of thing between men and women, and naturally there is no problem.

Because this is also a kind of happiness that heaven and earth bestow on mortals.

But he was no longer mortal.

Zhang Feiyang didn't know if Huo Dan and that female senior sister would have the same demons as him if they did that kind of thing, but he at least knew that he had already produced them.

In order to keep the heart of cultivating immortals firmly, it is naturally the only way to choose a remote place away from the sea of people, and to eliminate the demons little by little by relying on Qing cultivation.

Among the six parts of the outer disciples of the Firefox Sect, Zhang Feiyang felt that the only place that could allow him to cultivate was here.

Still, he underestimated the role of demons.

What Zhang Feiyang didn't expect was that the demon seemed to feel the danger, as soon as he entered the cave, the cave disappeared, the rugged and difficult mountain road disappeared, even the flowers and green trees were gone, and only the women who were unclothed, charming and laughing were left in all directions.

They sat on the edge of a hot spring in groups of three or five, waving and winking at Zhang Feiyang.

Some bold people, even more jumping, like elves, jumped lightly to Zhang Feiyang's side, grabbed his hand, and wanted to drag him to the hot spring.

The air was full of warm breath.

You can also feel a clear skin-to-skin touch on your hands.

Is this really an illusion?

Why is it exactly the same as the real thing?

Zhang Feiyang was dumbfounded, stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be moved.

It was at this heart-beating moment that his aura was missing a lot.

Zhang Feiyang smiled slightly, closed his eyes, turned his back, covered his ears with his hands, and walked forward step by step, away from the bliss of the world behind.

Accidentally tripped over a stone, he didn't say a word, got up, and continued walking.

There was a thud.

Because of the deviation in direction, he hit his head on the stone wall, his nose was about to break, and he couldn't help grinning in pain, but he still didn't say a word, touched the stone wall with one hand, and moved forward slowly.

Just like this, all the way, all the way, all the way, and then continue to fall all the way, after more than a hundred steps, suddenly felt a strong chill under his feet, Zhang Feiyang finally opened his eyes, looked back, what hot springs and beauties have disappeared cleanly, at this time, there is only one young man in front of him who is exactly the same as himself, but this young man's face is hideous, his expression is rich, sometimes resentful, sometimes vicious, sometimes regretful, sometimes painful, as if he is suffering endless pain.

After a while, seeing that Zhang Feiyang's lower body had been completely covered with ice, and only the upper body protected by the fire fox skin could still move, the young man suddenly burst into tears and begged Zhang Feiyang for mercy: "Why do you have to kill me? I and you are one." Isn't it good for us to coexist? Don't kill me. I promise to be obedient in the future. Never use your body again. ”

Zhang Feiyang didn't believe his nonsense, snorted coldly, closed his eyes, ignored it anymore, quietly maintained a state of meditation, sank his mind into his body, and cultivated according to the description of "Qi Refining Technique", and replenished the lost aura little by little.

With a terrible scream rang out from inside the cave.

Three days later, the fake Zhang Feiyang transformed by Zhang Feiyang's inner demon disappeared and was completely removed from Zhang Feiyang's heart.

Feeling that the aura in his body had recovered most of it, Zhang Feiyang finally breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the cave, and rushed back to the alchemy department.

Fortunately, in the past three days, Huo Dan did not come over because of something, and he did not do anything to expose his motive for killing Zhang Feiyang.

But the more this is the case, the more worried Zhang Feiyang is in his heart.

He felt that Hodan's patience should be about to fail, if he found that he could continue to delay in the state of a dying man, it was estimated that it would not be long before Hodan couldn't help but come and assassinate him himself.

And he still has no way to assassinate Hodan, especially the stone in Hodan's hand, which should be a magic weapon, not only can it glow, but the light emitted is so powerful.

Zhang Feiyang simulated the situation of another head-on conflict between himself and Hodan hundreds of times in his mind, but he still couldn't see any chance of winning.

"What to do? If I can't find a way to deal with that stone, the next time I run into Hodan, I'll die. ”

Zhang Feiyang sighed, couldn't help but be a little depressed, took a sip of water, and was about to continue thinking about it again, when suddenly, his heart moved, and his eyes suddenly looked at the clear water in the cup.

He stared at his own reflection in the water without blinking and looked at the work of half a burnt incense, and finally smiled, had a countermeasure, drank the water in the cup in one gulp, strode out of the door, and just out of the gate, he continued to bow his waist, held up his heavy steps, and rushed to the residence of the medicine collection department with a cough in a few steps.

He remembered that Zhou Zhou Xian was in the medicine collection department, hoping that this only friend he had in the Fire Fox Sect could do a small favor.
