Chapter 180: Parting Ways
Qi Dezhong and Hou Yafu were talking at the bottom of the slope, and Daoist Shu Ke stayed alone in the cave for a while before he came out, took off his robe and wrapped a bunch of things, and bowed to Qi Dezhong, revealing the contents of his robe. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What are you doing?" Qi Dezhong turned sideways to avoid asking.
Shu Ke didn't raise his head: "The poor Dao is obsessed, and today he was ordered by the immortal master to see Lang Lang Qingtian, and begged to pursue the immortal master's subordinates, these are the gifts of the poor Dao apprentice." ”
Qi Dezhong looked down, among the scattered things on the ground, except for a few bottles and cans containing aged elixir, the most special thing was an egg-sized bead, which was as good as glass, and it was round and full of color.
"This is-Xuanqi Demon Pill?" Qi Dezhong was curious at first, then puzzled, and secretly said in his heart: "The demon body is dead, and the vitality is gone, the Xuanqi Demon Pill is just a thing that is a fake combination of divine energy, and it has no substance, it should be accompanied by the vitality and dispersion between heaven and earth, even if it can survive in the world, it is not such a substantial pearl." ”
"Don't dare to deceive the immortal master, the original body of the poor road is a golden-tailed rat, and the initiate Bayetta is a brocade rat. Shu Ke explained: "We occasionally had the opportunity to be psychics, and we met in the mountains and practiced together for decades, and finally cultivated into a human ......."
As Qi Dezhong guessed, Shu Ke and Bayetta have practiced in the mountains for many years and helped each other. But later, the two met a cultivator who walked the rivers and lakes, and there was a dispute over a strange flower.
Cultivators may not all be reasonable and polite, some rely on a little bit of cultivation for mana to bully others, Shuke and Bayetta are both rat demons, they have always been timid, in fact, if the cultivation was higher than the other party at that time, but they were forced to flee in despair by that cultivator.
Bayetta always felt unwilling to think about it afterwards, and often mentioned to Shu Ke that he wanted to take revenge on the cultivator, but Shu Ke had to dissuade him with gentle words, not to mention that the two demons were not good at fighting, and the hidden breath spell that he pondered was only conducive to walking in the world on weekdays.
As a result, Bayeta began to evolve the Hidden Dao Method, using the means of constricting the aura on the external spirit qi, absorbing the power that did not belong to him, trying to improve the mana of cultivation.
At that time, the two demons did not have a deep understanding of the rights and wrongs of good and evil in the human world, and Shu Ke only vaguely felt that this method was inappropriate, and did not follow Bayeta's requirements to practice together. Bayeta didn't force it at first, but after experiencing the taste of absorbing the vitality qi machine to increase mana, Bayeta was out of control.
In fact, the ordinary trees and beasts in the Taihang Mountains do not have much vitality at all, and the trees that seem to grow vigorously can really be used by the Bayeux Tower.
In the end, when Bayeta descended the mountain and entered the world, it was found that the fetus in the womb of a pregnant woman and the baby that had just been born were the most vigorous, and if they could absorb the biogenes of these objects, they would definitely be able to greatly replenish their own mana.
In doing so, in fact, he is already an evil demon, not to mention violating the laws of the world, and in the cultivation world, it is also a demon and evil that everyone can condemn.
Bayeda didn't dare to blatantly go down the mountain to rob the baby at first, but after several times in a row, the wind in the countryside below the mountain became tighter, and Shuke also found out that the wrong way was wrong, and took advantage of Bayesta's time to block in front of the door of the other party's cave on the way to perform the exercises.
The two initiates have become suspicious at this point, Shu Ke doesn't want to provoke right and wrong, he just wants to experience the colorful Vientiane in the world, even if the cultivation is not high, but it is not difficult to live a good life in the world, why bother to make the chickens and dogs in the countryside under the mountain restless?
Under repeated questioning and persuasion, Bayetta was furious, he thought that Shuke had broken off the friendship of fellow practitioners by not accompanying him to practice the new method, and now he was even more unqualified to question his own actions.
Shuke, of course, remembers, and Bayetta says that she wants to take revenge, and if Shuk still has a hint of friendship, the two will go together to find revenge from their enemies, and it will not be too late to part ways after that.
In fact, Bayetta was already thinking about how to deal with Shuke at that time, but he couldn't move easily at the juncture of his work, and he just relied on his sharp teeth to stabilize Shuke.
Unexpectedly, Shu Ke didn't intend to take revenge at all, the two had been practicing together for so many years, could Shu Ke not understand what Bayeda was thinking? When Shuke wanted to turn around and retreat and cast a spell to seal the cave, Bayetta immediately took action.
It's a pity that Shuke was more prepared, as early as the day when Bayetta left the cave, he turned back to his original body and carved out the entire limestone slope into dense and invisible tiny cracks, as long as he used a small means, he could collapse the mountain rock and bury the cave.
In this short fight, Shu Ke was seriously injured by the mana of his fellow initiator Baye Pagoda, but the other party was buried by countless crumbling mountain rocks, and even most of the cave mansion was destroyed.
Bayeta was already halfway through the exercise, and if he suddenly cast a spell, he would also be injured, and he was desperate to burn the jade to attack Shuke, and in that case, he buried countless mountains and rocks, and still deserved to die.
Shuke was seriously injured by this blow and had to turn back into his original form of a gold-tailed rat to recuperate in the mountains.
But it didn't take long for several cultivators to come to the western foot of Taihang Mountain, and they obviously heard the news of the murder of pregnant women and babies in nearby villages, and realized that there were demons at work, so they came to Taihang Mountain to look for demons after a search.
Shu Ke was naturally frightened, even though it was not himself who did the wrongdoing, but as an outlier, in the face of cultivators who had the intention to kill demons, he was often at a loss for words, and fled for his life in fear.
After stopping and slowly recovering into a body of change, Shu Ke planned never to return to the place in the Taihang Mountains that made his heart cold. Later, he came to the imperial capital of Yujing City, devoted himself to the Xuanyi view as an ordinary Taoist, and since then he has concentrated on Huangbai smelting and cooking furnaces, and has not heard anything outside the window.
Different from the Bayeta Tower, Shu Ke's Tibetan Dao method was practiced almost instinctively in the later years, and in the decades he spent in the Xuanyi Temple, not only the master who cultivated the mana, and the imperial capital who came and went could not see through it, but even the existence of Shu Ke became vague and shallow, as if this person had been integrated into the scenery of the Xuanyi Temple, even if the human emperor changed and the Tianwang Sect was grandly founded, it could not expose Shu Ke's Xingzang.
If it weren't for the moment when he stopped outside Qi Dezhong's mansion and made the owner of the mansion suddenly feel it, I'm afraid the two would have passed by without realizing it.
When Shu Ke saw Qi Dezhong for the first time, he was impressed by his bearing, and took out his newly refined gunpowder as a matter of course, and talked obsessively about his various experiences, but he didn't expect to be led by Qi Dezhong's words to lead him to the most secret and unwanted to look back on the past in his life.
After listening to Shu Ke's detailed description, Qi Dezhong also had some experience, and he said: "At this moment, you are no longer the golden-tailed rat of the past, and only by reliving the past can you be reborn and transformed...... This is the place where your cultivation begins, so you can retreat here and survive the tribulations. (To be continued.) )
