Lord of the Tricks

Chapter 111 The Devil Walks the Right Way, the Black Tapir is Destroyed (8k)

The devil's penetration into the world is far deeper than people imagined, especially in the aspect of concealment, but it beats the human monks by several blocks.

According to Lou Huai, there are roughly ten types of monsters. In fact, if you subdivide them a little bit, there are more than 20 types.

The status of the demon among the demons is very high, the full name is Hehuazi, the demon, he is one of the few demons who dare to show up in public, and even specifically destroy the Taoism of the strong.

This is the absolute natural enemy of human ascetics, even most of the time, when an ascetic faces a demon, it is like a devil facing a hungry ghost, with absolute talent restraint.

And Heavenly Demon actually prefers to destroy ascetics.

In the eyes of Heavenly Demon, monks below the ninth rank are one species, while those above the ninth rank are another species.

And ascetics are the same species as those of the ninth level and above, except that the ascetics are in their infancy.

Nipping threats in their infancy is a universal rule in any world.

The status of ascetics is high enough, not only because of their knowledge, but also those terrible researches, and more importantly, there are existing examples.

Nearly half of the existing ninth-level powerhouses are former ascetics who entered the Tao.

Think again how many monks there are?
Too many to count.

And how many monks are there?

The number of those who are regarded as cultivators can now be accurate to ten digits, with an error of at most one or twenty.

And the ninth-order powerhouse born between the two is basically split in half.

With such an exaggerated ratio, any devil whose IQ is higher than the mentally retarded stage will know which one is easy to attack.

If Yu Ziqing was the devil, he would definitely catch the ascetic and bite him to death.

Now that I have seen a special demon like Yin Demon who planted the seeds of Yin Demon indiscriminately among mortals, Yu Ziqing can probably understand why those ascetics who are only mortals want to have a bottle of rain in their hands. Self-defense.

They are all the key targets of the devil. If they don't know about the thief, they are naturally hard to guard against. The probability of problems is high, which is quite normal.

I heard that there are many evil spirits in the abyss, and there are also many demon bosses. When they become stronger in the future, they will have to counterattack and enter the abyss.

Now that we know where the human race lives, there are hidden demons, and there may be more other demons, and those demons and the demon king.

Then Yu Ziqing is not in a hurry, there will definitely be a supply of elixir in the future, it's just the difficulty of obtaining it, and how much it will benefit him.

That yin demon is at best a home-cooked dish, a dish.

The real promotion depends on Zi Zai Tian, ​​one person is a big table of hard dishes, the kind that he can't finish a meal.

To be honest, without Lou Huai, these things might really have been hidden forever.

Yu Ziqing was also puzzled, why this guy insisted on turning his back on the dark and turning to the bright, and then brought in the identity of Lou Huai, and Yu Ziqing probably understood a little bit.

And he felt that he had a misunderstanding in his thinking, the devil has never had any such thing as national righteousness.

At most, they are of the same type, and Mu Qiang cuddled together to provide himself with a living space.

As for the demons, I am me, and other demons are other demons. If they meet by chance, everyone may fight first, and kill one first.

Not to mention, in Lou Huai's opinion, the relationship between Yin Mo and the like, may be farther than the relationship between him and the human race.

Regardless of how much he dislikes Lin Fu, if Lin Fu and him are in danger, this guy will definitely stand back to back with Lin Fu.

The logic was straightened out, and Yu Ziqing's trust in Lou Huai increased slightly.

Absolute trust like trusting them is simply impossible now.

On the surface, it seemed that he accepted it, but in fact, it was only because Yu Ziqing was not afraid of Lou Huai's superiority.

If this guy is rebellious, he's just a piece of cake.

His name was given by Yu Ziqing.

And it's just a name.

According to the tradition of the human race, a name and a surname are considered complete. Foreign races ask for grants, monster races ask for titles, and the names given are also in accordance with the rules of the human race.

Lou Huai was just a first name, Yu Ziqing still had her surname in her hands.

Anyway, let's take a walk and see, at least for now, Lou Huai's value is very high, and it doesn't seem like a rebellion.

Yu Ziqing is slightly better than Lin Fu who still doesn't understand at all, and that's only slightly better, he also doesn't understand.

After solving a yin demon, Yu Ziqing continued to stay in this small town for a month.

He wanted to take another look.

For a month, in the entire city, there was not a single case of infantile night terrors or loss of soul to death. At most, some babies were frightened by other things and recovered quickly.

The doctors in charge of the pharmacy have all discovered that this year's babies are less sick than in previous years.

Everyone just thinks that this year's situation may be better than previous years, which is a good thing for the population to flourish.

Under this ancient background, the infant mortality rate is not so high, and some babies who were harmed by Yin demons are mixed in, and they are not very eye-catching.

Lou Huai said that the Yin Demon would not intentionally kill people, but if a baby lost its soul due to fright, the Yin Demon would be very willing to devour those pure and uncondensed souls.

A month later, Yu Ziqing sighed secretly.

No one noticed what happened a month ago, even if it spread throughout the city.

At midnight that night, more than half of the people in the city who had fallen asleep were awakened by nightmares within a short period of time. After waking up, they didn't even remember what nightmares they had. I don't remember the content of the nightmare at all, I only remember waking up from the nightmare.

For such an obviously abnormal thing, the local county magistrate only sent a few second-level monks to walk around the city, holding a low-level magic weapon, to look for any evil spirits.

After not finding it, let it go, and even report it.

If he reported it, in a month's time, there would definitely be experts from above to investigate.

The population of this small city is 300,000. In one night, 200,000 people woke up from a nightmare at the same time, which is not a trivial matter.

After thinking about it, Yu Ziqing still felt that this matter could not pass like this.

He can't fight alone by himself, he has to make the Dali court pay attention to some things.

On the one hand, he couldn't clearly know the abnormal situation, but he still watched and said nothing. This time it was only 200,000 people who woke up from the nightmare at the same time, so the next time it might be 200,000 people who lost their souls and died at the same time.

On the other hand, it is impossible for him to be like this all the time, he should go find the devil himself.

So, he sent a letter to Faber.

He didn't mention Yin Mo, he just said that Lou Huai had arrived, and he asked Lou Huai to follow him, and asked him to check what happened in the small town under his feet a month ago.

Lou Huai's identity can't be mentioned, and it's better not to mention the Yin Demon. He doesn't know how many demons are still lurking, so they can't be alerted.

We can only give them a well-known clue, but as long as an unsolved mystery reaches the ears of those ascetics in Lihuoyuan, it is hard to believe that all of them will be able to bear it.

Yu Ziqing also believed that as long as those guys wanted to dig deep, they would definitely be able to dig something out.

Lin Fu received the news, and when he saw the word Lou Huai, he knew who it was.

Then he said to investigate this matter, he also went to ask someone, someone from the Gu family was in that small town a month ago.

Hearing about waking up from the nightmare, and thinking about Lou Huai, Lin Fu thought about it, and went to see the prince anyway.

Yu Ziqing didn't make it clear, but he had scruples. This kind of puzzle is obviously for the prince.

When they arrived at the East Palace, Lin Fu passed on the news, and the prince asked someone to ask casually. After a while, information appeared in the hands of the prince.

"In one night, more than 20 people were awakened by nightmares almost at the same time, and they didn't remember any nightmares after waking up, but is there something evil?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the local county magistrate has already checked. The city is full of people. There have been no epidemics or catastrophes recently. The yang energy is strong, there is no evil spirit, and there are no monsters. There are no problems at all."

The prince frowned slightly as he looked at the newly sent documents.

The county magistrate didn't report it, because nothing special has changed up to now.

But for a person with the prince's status and strength, there must be something affecting it, and no one can find the slightest clue, which is too abnormal.

"Your Highness, I also found out that Qing Ziyu stayed in this small town for a month before leaving after waking up from a nightmare."

The crown prince did not say that this news was actually sent by Qing Ziyu.

"Go, send this information to my master."

A moment later, in a room in the Lihuoyuan, an old man was fiddling with a broken copper tripod. He rubbed the runes on it one by one, trying to piece together and restore some of the broken runes. come out.

After receiving the news from the crown prince, the old man didn't take it seriously, looked at it, and then ordered casually.

"It's interesting, Xiaohu. Since the prince said it, you should go there and check it out."

"Okay, Mr. Lingyou."

Outside the door, a great monk guarding here nodded and disappeared instantly.

A few days later, when Wen Lingyou was still studying those ancient runes, Wang Xiaohu appeared outside the door.

"Mr. Lingyou, I'm back."

"Oh, so fast, did you find anything?"

"No, there is no trace of evil, demonic, evil, or even evil. The city is full of people and people. I have checked hundreds of thousands of people, and there is nothing unusual.

But more than a month ago, starting at 200,000:[-] midnight, in less than a quarter of an hour, at least [-] people were awakened by nightmares, and it was indeed true. "

Wen Lingyou put down the shards of the copper tripod in his hand, turned around, looked at the first-hand investigation information obtained by Wang Xiaohu, and slowly frowned.

"Xiao Hu, you also practice God, right?"

"That's right, the Qi-refining Transformation Realm, and God-refining can barely reach the seventh-order Yang God Realm."

"If you can't find the slightest abnormality, then there is really an abnormal situation."

After thinking for a while, Wen Lingyou asked again.

"Has this incident been recorded in the county annals?"

"I checked and it has been credited."

"Okay, I remember that the county annals of each county will be sent to the imperial capital every three years. You will go for nearly a hundred years, no, bring all the county annals within a thousand years.

Then go find some people, just those people in the Lingzhi courtyard, who don't do business every day, let them move around and check the county records together.

Find out all similar situations for me. "

After Wen Lingyou gave an order, he ignored it for the time being.

A few days ago, the dean of Lingzhi Academy complained to him several times that the students in the academy are becoming more and more useless, and they can't even shit like pigs.

Later, in a fit of anger, he got a seven-day heartbroken grass that was basically exactly the same as Yudao, and threw it in the Yudao field.

At first it was just a moment of anger, but later it became a test for students, to see if anyone can recognize the students of Lingzhi Academy.

Unexpectedly, when the wave of jade rice was ready to be harvested, no one found out, but the head of the hospital was very angry.

He personally mixed the seven-day heartbroken grass with the jade rice, and cooked it into more than ten large pots of porridge. Within a day, he poisoned thousands of people.

For seven consecutive days, the students of the entire Lingzhi Institute were either in the toilet or on their way to the toilet.

But after this matter was spread out, those students could only hold their noses and bear it, because the difference between the seven-day heart-broken grass and the jade rice was explained as a case, and the seven-day heart-broken grass planted was also Planted on the edge of the paddy field, as obvious as possible.

No one has discovered this, it can only show that they are useless, poisoned and think that they are not good at learning.

If it was outside, they might not have the chance to learn the lesson and still not die.

Wen Lingyou also rescued those poor students and let them relax.

Originally, it was just that the head of the school was a little angry, so he took a small test that was at best a prank at random, and found that the students even lost their knowledge, so it wasn't that he was angry, but that he was very angry, very angry.

At night, a large group of students flipped through books in class, and after finishing one book, they continued to flip through.

Thousands of people can be used to squeeze, and it is very fast to find.

In just a few days, more than [-] county chronicles were placed on Wen Lingyou's desk.

"In the 23rd year of Wenji, on the third day of August, in Kaiyuan County, at the second quarter of the ugly hour, 3000 people in the county woke up from a nightmare at the same time."

"In the 280th year of Wenji, on the third day of the first lunar month, in Linlin County, at the hour of Yin, 500 people woke up from a nightmare at the same time."

"In the third year of Wenji 660, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, in Jitun County, at a quarter of a hour, 300 people woke up from a nightmare at the same time, and all of them were dripping with cold sweat."

……

In the county chronicles, there are a total of 33 records, all of which are similar to this time.

But the one with the largest number is more than 3000 people. If you put it in a large county with a population of one million people and 100,000 people in the city, there will be no bad consequences.

Unlike this time, in a small town of 300,000 people, 200,000 people woke up from the nightmare together.

According to the records of those county chronicles, there were five counties where this kind of thing happened twice, and nothing was found in the end, so nothing happened.

Once it was judged as poisoning, because that season happened to be the season when local mushrooms were eaten, and there were many poisoners.

Wen Lingyou sorted out all the information, came to the map, and took a look at it. The distribution is very wide, almost all over Dali, and there are more in the east.

It happened twice, both in the East.

It is a coincidence in one place, but it is not a coincidence if you look at it in the whole Dali.

Originally, it was just a random check, but the more I checked Wen Lingyou, the more he understood that this matter was not simple, there must be something wrong.

"Xiaohu, come with me to Kaiyuan County, which happens to be not very far away, let's go there and have a look."

……

"Brother, I know, that's about it, maybe it's because I'm too weak, I have less inheritance, and there may be more in the future."

In the abyss of despair, Lou Huai told Yu Ziqing everything he knew about the devil.

"The way you are now, is it a demon or an incarnation? Can't you practice on your own?"

"Yes, I can. I'm an incarnation that can condense the body, but I'm also a demon, and I can practice on my own. It's just that I don't really want to practice the way of demons."

"You are a demon alone, if you don't practice the way of magic, what are you cultivating?" Yu Ziqing was delighted.

"Ah, actually, I want to be like big brother. I'm a monster, so I don't have to choose, but Xiudao, I can choose." Lou Huai hinted crazily there.

"You want to practice physical training? You don't even have a physical body, what kind of physical training do you want?"

"no……"

"Hungry ghost way?" Yu Ziqing looked Lou Huai up and down, then shook his head: "Don't think about it, it's not that I don't teach you, but you can't cultivate at all."

He doesn't have any Dharma in his hands, so where can he get the Hungry Ghost Dao Dharma that is suitable for humans and demons?

Are you crazy, a devil, practicing the method of hungry ghosts that feed on devils?Did you eat yourself first?
This is like a creature that was born in magma, and its flesh and blood are made of magma. If it turns to practice the ice escape, it will [-]% refine itself to death first.

Or for ordinary human monks, becoming a demon means cultivating, and that is courting death.

This is innately determined, there is no choice at all.

After thinking about it, Yu Ziqing thought of the Baiyang Sacred Canon. The revised Baiyang Sacred Canon is a serious and righteous way, vast and bright, and impartial.

Moreover, he has personally seen the birth of the revised Baiyang Canon, and he understands the true meaning and charm of it very well. If Yu Ziqing wants to refine Qi in the future, if there is no suitable method, he will choose this one.

Now pass it to Lou Huai, let him try first.

Anyway, isn't he going to walk the right way, the way of hungry ghosts is the right way, and this White Sun Sacred Code is also the right way, in which there are both Qi and God refinements.

If Lou Huai made a contribution to the human race, it would not be considered a disservice to that senior. I believe that senior is definitely not a person who only cares about family background.

He placed one hand between Lou Huai's eyebrows, first taught Lou Huai the content of the first three levels of refining qi and refining gods, and asked him to try it first.

If it doesn't work, let him practice magic.

The normal practice of the magic way can be regarded as the right way.

Lou Huai didn't have any regrets, and he was very happy to thank you, as long as it was given by Yu Ziqing, he would be happy.

Although there are already many methods in his head, all of which are copied from Lin Fu, there are very few things Lin Fu knows that he doesn't know.

Only when Lin Fu entered the imperial city, did he not dare to peep, so he could only wrap himself up tightly and hide.

He naturally knows all the tricks that Lin Fu knows.

But he still wants to be with Yu Ziqing.

Not to mention that Yu Ziqing's offer is obviously better, the meanings contained in it are completely different.

Yu Ziqing always felt it was weird for a human devil to practice a method that could not be more upright, but Lou Huai insisted on it, so let him try.

Anyway, the method is impartial, Lou Huai is a human incarnation, and should be able to practice.

……

Wen Lingyou came to Kaiyuan County. This large county has more than 80 people in the city alone. It covers a very large area, because it is not very far from the imperial capital, but it is an important transportation route, and the merchants are extremely developed.

Wen Lingyou took Wang Xiaohu and found a random inn to stay.

One of them professed to be self-proclaimed and concealed his aura, and the other hadn't really entered the Tao. After living here for a few days, he sold a shop next to a small street and opened a small medical clinic.

He is like an ordinary old doctor, waiting for patients to come to his door every day, even if there is no guest except for the neighbor next door.

Half a month passed in a flash, Wen Lingyou was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and waited quietly.

I fell asleep like a mortal every day, and never took Bigu Dan or the like again, everything was like an ordinary mortal.

At night, Wen Lingyou felt sleepy, so he went to his room to rest, while Wang Xiaohu stayed in his room, always vigilant.

At midnight, from a perspective that ordinary people cannot see, a thin black mist began to slowly spread from a corner of the county seat.

Wang Xiaohu didn't notice anything, only one family, the baby who had just woken up, saw the black mist, felt the uncomfortable breath, and cried loudly in fright.

After the black mist enveloped Wen Lingyou's room, the sleeping Wen Lingyou appeared in the Yin Mo's domain.

On Wen Lingyou's neck, a sharp claw pendant engraved with runes shone slightly.

On Wen Lingyou's neck in the Yin Demon Realm, the sharp claw pendant emitted a faint light, and the brilliance changed, and a spirit beast shaped like a pangolin with a long nose and long tail appeared.

The spirit beast transformed by the brilliance sat on Wen Lingyou's chest, looking around vigilantly.

On the street outside, the Yin Demon dragging the cart tirelessly planted seeds one after another.

When it came to the place where Wen Lingyou was, a long arm passed through the house and came here.

The radiant spirit beast immediately jumped up and bit the Yin Mo's hand, forcing the Yin Mo to retreat.

Yin Mo turned his head to look, and found the pendant hanging on Wen Lingyou's neck, and immediately withdrew his hand with a sullen expression.

Looking at his hand that was bitten out with a gap, the wound could not heal for a long time, and the power continued to escape. Yin Mo immediately stretched out a few arms, and forcibly tore off his injured hand and threw it on the ground.

In an instant, I saw that arm wither rapidly, turning into fly ash and dissipating.

"These stinky rats are all dead, leaving something behind, it's still so disgusting."

Yin Demon continued to plant seeds, but this time, he started to add private goods.

When some people's seeds were conceived, they turned into the appearance of a mouse, and the Yin Demon quietly changed it a bit, so that it was blurred, and at first glance it was the appearance of the spirit beast it had just seen.

The next day, when the sun rose, Wen Lingyou opened his eyes.

He sat up, touched the pendant hanging on his chest, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Xiaohu, what's going on tonight?"

"Sir, I didn't find anything unusual." After Wang Xiaohu replied, he looked at Wen Lingyou's hand: "Sir, is something wrong?"

Wen Lingyou handed the pendant to Wang Xiaohu.

"This black tapir amulet has been activated."

"Sir, I think we should go back." Wang Xiaohu looked serious, and stood up and saluted.

Wen Lingyou took the talisman, stroked it lightly, with a dignified expression.

"There is indeed something, but I don't know what it is, it must not be a black tapir.

Back then, the black tapir clan, who devoured them in their dreams, was discovered by a head of the Langya Courtyard, and it was announced to the world that the black tapirs would all be extinct within a mere hundred years.

Now this talisman, if it encounters a black tapir, it will definitely not trigger protection.

The things recorded in those county chronicles must have nothing to do with the black tapir. "

Black tapirs have been extinct for thousands of years.

For thousands of years, there is no record, and the only thing left is some nightmare amulets made with its sharp claws.

And this talisman, in fact, has been proven very early on, it has no effect on the black tapir, and it cannot be prevented at all.

Wen Lingyou continued to check the information and information, and the inspection was almost done. He thought about it for a moment, wrote a letter and sent it out.

Not long after, the prince received the letter.

"Your Highness, does Qing Ziyu from Jinlan Mountain know about waking up from a nightmare?"

The prince laughed. She never mentioned that his master still dug out Qing Ziyu from the information.

Ever since Yu Ziqing used some method to summon millions of hungry ghosts in the cave of mourning last time, Yu Ziqing's whereabouts have been followed all the time.

Wherever he goes, it means that millions of hungry ghosts may also be there.

These people seem to be indifferent on the surface, but in reality, how could they not care.

But they can't say that you people from Jinlan Mountain can't come to my Dali land boundary, and Yu Ziqing didn't deliberately hide his whereabouts.

After thinking about it for a while, she gave up the idea of ​​making a decision for Wen Lingyou, but only gave a definite answer, and even told where Yu Ziqing was now.

A few days later, Wang Xiaohu descended from the sky and very politely handed over the invitation.

"Master Qing, my husband is here to invite you."

Yu Ziqing opened the letter and read, Lihuoyuan Wen Lingyou, please tell me.

Of course he knew who Wen Lingyou was, a head of the Lihuo Academy, the teacher of Prince Dali, and a serious figure.

Even he knew who Wang Xiaohu was. Wen Lingyou's Dao protector, the eighth-level peak monk, was only one step away from the ninth level. A strong ninth order.

Yu Ziqing did not expect that the news he gave casually would alarm such a big boss.

The importance is very high.

Responding to this matter, Yu Ziqing glanced at it without any trace, and followed Lou Huai obediently behind him with an honest face.

After this guy started to practice the Baiyang Sacred Code, he stood in front of Wang Xiaohu face to face, but Wang Xiaohu didn't even notice.

The devil's innate concealment ability is really the Tianke human race.

Follow Wang Xiaohu all the way to Kaiyuan County.

"My junior, Qing Ziyu, met Mr. Ling You."

"I'm sorry, I invited Master Qing here in a hurry. There are really some things. The old man is thirsty for knowledge and wants to ask Master Qing for advice."

"You are being polite, sir. You are very knowledgeable, and you have learned from the past and the present. The younger generation is not a learner, so you should not give pointers."

"The old man didn't go around in circles anymore. Two days ago, after the old man fell asleep, the black tapir amulet on his body was triggered, blocking something unknown, and Xiaohu didn't notice it either."

Yu Ziqing instantly understood that there was also a yin demon here.

"Black tapir?" Yu Ziqing had never heard of it.

"It is recorded in the classics that there used to be a kind of strange beast that completely disappeared thousands of years ago. It has the ability to dream and devour it, which is extremely troublesome."

Yu Ziqing was secretly sorry.

This thing can stop the Yin Demon, but it is a pity that it is extinct.

Before, he was thinking, if no one can find the Yin Demon all the time, if the Yin Demon is allowed to wreak havoc, no matter how low the seeds planted by the Yin Demon, no matter how low the germination rate is, there will be a sufficient base and a long enough time , the people who have accumulated and the seeds have fully grown are definitely not a small number.

It turns out that before, there were still things that could stop the Yin Demon.

"First I would like to ask, have you ever given alms to hungry ghosts to get rid of evil thoughts in your heart?"

The two nodded together.

There is no magic thought to hide.

He can't do this, let the demon bosses know that he found out the news, although he will definitely not be able to hide the fact that he killed a Yin demon in the future, so the people from Dali must rush forward.

Later, Dali must come to ask him for help. He cannot beg Dali to help others eliminate the devil. This order cannot be messed up.

"Trouble Senior Wang, cover it up."

After a while, Yu Ziqing said.

"The thing I encountered is called Yin Demon..."

Yu Ziqing briefly introduced Yin Mo, and then changed the subject.

"Yin Demon, it's fine for seniors to know about it, and it's easy to avoid it, even if they fall asleep, their lives won't be in danger.

What the junior wants to know is how the black tapir became extinct, does the senior know? "

Wen Lingyou's face sank like water, and his expression was very bad.

He just heard Yu Ziqing talk about Yin Demon, and he thought of many things.

"The black tapir was extinct thousands of years ago.

At that time, it was a monk in Langya Yuan who discovered the black tapir. He said that the black tapir devoured his dreams, leaving a vacancy in his spiritual altar.

Afterwards, the hunting of black tapirs began, and more than 100 years later, there was no trace of black tapirs.

Today, thousands of years have passed, and there is no trace of the black tapir.

What they left behind were only some black tapir amulets that were once considered invulnerable to black tapirs. "

"Is the senior who initiated the strangling of the black tapir back then still alive?" Yu Ziqing asked.

"After the black tapir was wiped out, he went mad, burned himself to death in flames, and disappeared." Wen Lingyou's face became even uglier.

The moment he knew about Yin Demon, he speculated that what happened back then was a conspiracy.

The ascetic who initiated the strangling of the black tapir may have been controlled by the devil, and then he took advantage of the situation in Langya Court to further fuel the flames, and with the help of the human race, he wiped out the black tapir family.

From then on, the Yin Demon has no natural enemies, and naturally has no scruples in acting.
