Chapter 6: Devouring (Part 3)
Su E was stunned, a touch of panic and helplessness flashed in her eyes, and she lowered her head. After a while, he nodded heavily, like a cat being trained.
"You heal first. Li Ye's heart softened, and his tone softened. After speaking, he stood up and took a deep look at Dongtian, and then walked towards the corpse of the demon.
Before Qishan that day, Wu You blocked the Zhuxian Sword for him, and his body was destroyed, although Li Ye didn't say anything, but that incident touched him deep into the bone marrow. Seeing Su Emei also making her own mind today, going to fight with the demon, Li Ye couldn't help but think of Wu You, and his heart was a little blocked.
Embarking on the path of a monk comes with countless challenges and dangers, as well as countless difficulties and choices. Li Ye is not a little boy who has nothing to do, and he will not have thoughts like "I'm not strong enough, I'm strong enough to make my woman safe and secure under my wing". The world is so big, there are always some beings who are stronger in cultivation, and everyone has their own way to go.
Even if you are a husband and wife, you can't be together all the time, and you have challenges and difficulties that you can only face and solve by yourself. Becoming strong is the only way, and on the way to becoming stronger, the most impossible thing is blood and grinding. To be a comrade who fights side by side for a lifetime, that is the Taoist couple.
Contrary to Li Ye's expectations, there was no magic weapon pill on the demon, and it didn't seem to have anything valuable, but the pair of horns were not ordinary at first glance.
Li Ye took Lu Gujian and slashed it, and with the grade of Lu Gujian, he couldn't leave any scars on the horns. As a medium for demons to cast spells, the main function of the horn is still spell buff, and in this sense, it shouldn't have any hardness.
Li Ye picked up the horns and returned to Su Emei and sat down. When the other party was healing, he quietly thought about some things.
The first big demon caused him so much trouble, and he didn't know how strong the existence behind him would be, Li Ye suddenly felt that Qizhou was much more terrifying than he imagined, and the strength of the demon clan was far beyond imagination, even if the other party didn't come over to those great sages.
But in the entire Pinglu, or in the entire Tang Dynasty, there is no one in the mortal world, and the strength is stronger than Li Ye, and no one can solve the challenge in front of him except himself.
After two hours, Su Emei finished healing, and her injuries had recovered to seventy-seven eighty-eight. She saw the two horns that Li Ye placed in front of her feet at random, and her eyes lit up: "This is the horns of the demon?"
Li Ye nodded: "When the demon turns into a beast, the cow has a snake tail and two horns, and when it turns into a human form, it uses the cow's head as a magic weapon. After I cut off one of his hands and left him without a bull's horn, his domain and magic power dropped a lot. So I suspect that his cultivation is inseparable from this pair of horns. ”
Su E glanced at Li Ye, it was a look of admiration and admiration, and she said slowly: "If I remember correctly, the domain and magic of the demon are all tied to this pair of horns, and if he has no horns, it is equivalent to a mortal without weapons." Now that you've got these horns, there's a good chance you've learned all the demon's domain spells. ”
Li Ye hadn't thought about this, he didn't know much about the demon clan, and when he heard Su Emei's words, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Can it still be like this?"
The demon's spell itself is not surprising, combined with his terrifying realm, the demon's realm is extinguished, the vegetation and trees in the area are destroyed, and even the stagnant water has to evaporate. It also has a suppressive effect on the monk's aura and magic attacks, and if Li Ye can use the realm of the demon by mastering the form of magic, it will definitely be a big killer.
However, after trying twice, Li Ye was a little disappointed, "It's useless, I can't sense the aura in the horns." ”
Su Emei kindly reminded: "If you want to use the magic weapon of the demon clan, you must first sacrifice and practice." ”
Li Ye's old face turned red, he had just forgotten to drip blood to refine, no wonder he didn't react. I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when I was reminded of this, but fortunately, Li Ye was a man in two lives, and his skin was not ordinarily thick, so he didn't bother much, so he hurriedly dripped.
This time, when Li Ye entered the aura again, he had an induction, and a cloud of smoke also erupted from the horns, but it was only the size of a flower, which was very different from the demon. Li Ye was not angry, and tried patiently for a long time, but in the end, only smoke the size of winter melon was sprayed, and it was tangible and godless, and there was no effect of extinguishing vitality at all.
Putting down the horns, Li Ye sighed: "It seems that the things of the demon clan, it is not so simple for us to use them. When I used the horn just now, I always felt that there was a layer of separation between me and it, and I couldn't communicate smoothly, so I couldn't control it at all. ”
Su E smiled and said, "Don't worry, there will be time to explore in the future." The things of the demon clan have been inherited, and it is indeed not easy to use them, but if they can be mastered, they are sharp weapons. ”
Li Ye nodded, there is only this way at the moment.
"What to do with the corpse of the demon?" Su Emei suddenly asked.
"Bury it. Li Ye thought about it and said, you can't storm the corpse wilderness, and the people will probably panic when they see it. The low-level monks of the demon clan who chased and killed Shen Beiwang before died and disappeared, but the demon did not, it is estimated that the cultivation is strong, and the general prohibition is useless to him.
When Li Ye and Su Emei got up to bury the demon, Shen Beiwang finally ran back. Just now, Li Ye started a war with the demon, and took care of Shen Beiwang's low cultivation and couldn't withstand the erosion of the demon realm, so Li Ye sent him out with aura. It's just that the situation was urgent at that time, and Li Ye just threw it away, and he didn't know which deep mountain and old forest he threw him into, so he only ran back now.
The three of them came to the edge of the pit, and before burying the demon, Su Emei suddenly frowned, and asked Li Ye to wait for a while, and she fell into the pit herself. After observing the demon for a while, he finally squatted down and put his hand on the other's chest.
This time, Li Ye felt that something was wrong. The remaining aura in the demon's body, or demonic qi, kept converging towards her chest, and then flowed into her meridians through Su Emei's palm. In Li Ye's perception, Su Emei's aura increased rapidly. By the time she stopped, although the demon's corpse had not changed, Su Emei's cultivation power had increased greatly.
Li Ye suddenly thought of a possibility, and was suddenly dumbfounded: "Can you absorb his cultivation power?"
Su Emei flew up to the edge of the pit and looked at Li Ye nodding seriously, she herself felt strange: "When I saw the corpse of the demon just now, I felt very strange, as if something was attracting me...... I hadn't thought about absorbing the power of a monk's cultivation before. Even if I absorbed the power of his cultivation, I couldn't tell why. ”
Li Ye sighed and admired: "Your luck is a bit against the sky." ”
Speaking of this, Li Ye paused, and looked Su E's eyebrows up and down suspiciously: "Could it be, not only the demon, but also the cultivation power of the demon clan monks, you can absorb it, right?
Su Emei said with a blank face: "This ...... Probably not?" Thinking about it seriously, she also had some heart palpitations, and she couldn't help but shudder.
Li Ye did not continue to discuss this issue with Su Emei. It's pointless to guess, the next time I meet the big demon, I will know that if that's really the case, Li Ye will be jealous of Su Emei. Devouring the cultivation power of other monks, this shortcut to speed up cultivation, everyone will be jealous.
The key is that Su Emei herself is the reincarnation of an immortal, because of the two small fish raised by Chu Nan, because of the continuous awakening of immortal power, the progress of cultivation is very fast, and now with the ability to absorb the cultivation of the great demon, it is very likely that the realm of Li Ye will improve even faster than Li Ye in the future.
After burying the demon, Li Ye and Su Emei parted ways with Shen Beiwang. On the occasion of parting, Li Ye said to Shen Beiwang: "You have meritorious service in protecting the village this time, you would rather die than give in, and you have not insulted the prestige of the Pinglu Army, and after you go back, you will find Liu Dazheng directly, and follow him in the future." ”
Shen Beiwang was overjoyed, this was on the road to the broad road, and hurriedly bowed down to thank him.
It's just that when he raised his head again, Li Ye and Su Emei had disappeared.
The two flew into mid-air, and Su Emei asked Li Ye, "Where are you going next?"
The demon clan occupies a lot of places in the five states of Pinglu, especially Taoist temples and mountains, and it looks like they want to establish a base area. Li Ye only knew that the demon clan had the greatest influence in Qizhou, and he didn't know that this time the leader of the demon clan, the Holy Son, was in Huabuzhu Mountain, so he didn't know where he was going this time, so he could only check while walking.
"If you knew this was the case, you should have asked the demons where their base camp was. ”
"It's useless to ask, looking at the demon's unyielding posture, just like Shen Beiwang, it is impossible to ask anything from his mouth. ”
"Well, when the demon lost a hand, he didn't have a chance to escape, but he didn't even try. ”
The two soon came to the territory of Qizhou, although they didn't know where the base camp of the demon clan was, Li Ye was not a headless fly, at least he had the information of the Tsing Yi Yamen and the Quanzhen Temple, and knew where the demon plague was more serious, and it would always be wrong to go to these places.
Entering Qizhou, Li Ye went directly to Jishui. Liu Zhiyan's Changhe Gang has recently suffered heavy losses due to the demon plague, and several of their cargo fleets have been attacked by water demons, not only losing valuable goods, but also losing a lot of monks.
Now not only the fleets of the Changhe Gang have all stayed at the port docks, not daring to walk down the river, but also many large caravans' cargo ships.
The commercial exchanges between Pinglu and the Central Plains have been basically suspended, and countless money and property are being lost every day, and more importantly, the lack of certain necessary materials will lead to the rise of prices in Pinglu. This has seriously threatened the basic order of Pinglu, Liu Zhiyan is asking for help from the Tsing Yi Yamen, and Qizhou Assassin Shi is also asking for help from the Jiedu Embassy.
Li Ye came to the place where the helmsman of the Changhe Gang outside Qizhou City was located, and saw Liu Zhiyan from a distance, who he had not met for a long time.
Although the cargo ship is no longer in the water, Liu Zhiyan is not idle, taking advantage of this opportunity, she organized the river gang to repair and maintain the large and small cargo ships. Some boatmen who can't let go for a few days all year round, Liu Zhiyan also gave them a few days to rest.
In the vast dockyard, Liu Zhiyan was inspecting the newly built big ship.
Over the years, the Changhe Gang has been developing continuously and has begun to get involved in the canal transportation on a large scale, and there is a great demand for ships. It's just that the cargo ships that were planned to expand their power can only be used to make up for the losses now, and the water monsters have destroyed many ships.
"Big boss, are we postponing the plan to build a new ship? Now that the water demon problem is so serious, the fleet will not be able to get into the water for a while. One of the dockyard stewards said worriedly.
Liu Zhiyan's attitude was clear: "Don't wait. The demon trouble won't last long, and Jishui will soon restore order. ”
In the face of Liu Zhiyan's firm words, the steward had little confidence, and he sighed: "Last time, the Tsing Yi Yamen sent a monk over, saying that he wanted to get rid of the water demon, but he was a great master of the seventh layer of Qi training, and he never returned...... The big boss, even the monks who practice qi at a high level, can't help the water demon, what kind of master can the Tsing Yi Yamen invite to solve the demon trouble? The situation is difficult, how should the big boss be cautious......
Liu Zhiyan frowned slightly, stopped, turned to look at the steward, and said: "Don't forget, Pinglu is the Pinglu of His Royal Highness King An, don't say it's a demon, even if the immortals come, they can't make trouble!"
The steward hurriedly bowed his head and said yes, Liu Zhiyan was deeply powerful in the Changhe Gang, and when he was a little angry, he was also stunned. However, although the steward didn't dare to refute on his face, he still didn't care in his heart, and it was a good thing to have confidence, but he had to be sensible, the water demon was obviously very powerful, and mortals had no problem at all-how long had it been since I had seen a demon in this world? This Pinglu had only been stable for a few years, but I was afraid that it would be chaotic again......
