Home of the Brave

As the saying goes, "Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to draft water", the Musayi people live on Tianzhao Peak, and naturally take advantage of it. Not to mention anything else, just the cells used for the security detention of the security team were solved with local materials-a large row of caves were dug out on the leeward mountain wall, and the caves were covered with hay, and the outside was thick with wrists. The wooden fence is an ideal cell for prisoners.

This kind of purely natural cell can be large or small. The large one can hold dozens of people, and the small one has a single room. Dai Yang was stuffed into a medium-sized cell. I heard that there were still a few unlucky guys who were thrown in for "obstructing public order" in the cell, but he was expelled from Musa the day before he came in, so he was alone in guarding the huge space. Case. Being kept in an unmanned cell, apart from the number of ants lying on the ground, he could only stare at the birds outside the fence in a daze. After two days and two nights, Dai Yang, who was really bored and panicked, finally couldn't help it. Broke out.

"Medusa, come out and chat with me."

Following his call, the figure of Snake Ji emerged from nothingness.

Medusa's body is asleep in the soul hiding, and the soul is with the servant, so he knows what happened to Dai Yang well. After being called out, Medusa did not speak, but glanced at the cell with cold eyes, and then sighed heavily. "... You, I'm not a toy for you to pass the time? Just come and go, what do you think of me?"

"What's the matter? You have nothing else to do anyway?" Dai Yang cheekily ignored the demon's complaint, and patted the open space next to him affectionately. "Come, sit here."

"Yeah..." Medusa looked at Dai Yang helplessly, although she was unwilling to look, she still slowly nudged it, and sat down next to Dai Yang, but looked at the wooden fence at the entrance of the cave. "Isn't a hindrance of that level just like paper? If you want to, you can go out anytime, but you are suppressing yourself to endure loneliness here... I don't understand, do you like this kind of place? ?"

"Who would like a place where birds don't lay eggs? If I could get out, I would have gone out long ago!" Dai Yang complained. "Every day there is only clean water and bread, and the mouth fades to the taste of birds, although it is not bad to spend money...Ah, I don't know how they dispose of the carriage and the goods, it is caused by those bastards! Damn it, sooner or later this loss will be recovered from them!"

Medusa calmly listened to Dai Yang's complaint, and then pointed out. "... You didn't answer my question, why can't you go out?"

"This, how should I explain it to you..." Dai Yang scratched his head in annoyance. Human society has many customary rules, but for demons living freely, these rules are probably incomprehensible, right? Dai Yang scratched his head and thought for a long time before he could barely find a suitable analogy. "Uh, let's put it this way, although the fence itself does not constitute an obstacle to me, it is a symbol of a certain rule. I cannot break that rule, so I have to accept the restraint of this fence."

"...Rules?" Medusa showed interest. "Who made that rule? What penalties are for violating it?"

"It wasn't by anyone...it should be said that it was an agreement that people gradually formed during the long time of living together, or the consensus was more correct." Dai Yang thought while explaining. "Look, it's like this Saari city, where there are thousands of people living here, there are men and women, old and young, everyone has different pursuits from others, and lives a life different from others... …If all people live their lives as they want, what would the chaos look like? But because people obey a certain default rule, a society composed of countless different individuals can operate in an orderly manner like this NS."

"...In other words, is it the benefit of the rules to maintain the stable order of your society?" Dai Yang's words caused Medusa to fall into contemplation.

"But, there are guys who don't follow the rules, right?"

"Well, there is indeed such a guy." Dai Yang nodded and admitted. "But the price of breaking the rules will be squeezed out by society."

"It's like you do now?" Medusa looked at someone in prison.

"This...this is an accident! I didn't break the rules. It was the woman who provoked the dispute first. I was only implicated by the innocent." Dai Yang advocated.

"But in the end she was at large, and you are in jail?" Medusa seemed to be quite dissatisfied with this, and pointed out sharply. "You said it nicely, but the'rules' you are talking about are, in the final analysis, made by the strong... You obviously have the power to make rules, but you are willing to be subject to such unreasonable restraints. I just can't understand this. "

"I can't understand, then what do you think I should do? Break the fence and go out to fight with the security team? Then ransack Sari City and conquer the Ice Vein Mountains by the way?" Dai Yang said jokingly. "Do you think I will do this kind of troublesome thing? And the current rules are not bad, as long as you can guarantee such a stable life, it doesn't matter if you occasionally feel wronged..."

"Is that so..." Medusa looked at Dai Yang thoughtfully. "It's really interesting, Ru Mingming has the power to break the rules, but he has set himself rules to obey the rules..."

"What... obey the rules of the rules?" Dai Yang showed a confused expression.

"What I mean is that what you choose to obey is not the kind of universal social law you said, but the rules you made yourself, and only you abide by..." Medusa's gaze is not good intentions. Still malicious, but from the tone of voice, it seemed to have met Dai Yang again. "If this is also self-willed, then in essence, you are probably a more arbitrary guy than the dragon clan..."

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Dai Yang became more confused as he listened.

"Well, I was talking..." Medusa smiled and said in a cat-like voice: "My master may be a more willful guy than I thought."

※※※

Just as Medusa, as a demon, cannot understand the common sense of human society, as a human, Dai Yang can also find it difficult to figure out the ideas of the demon. However, the conceptual difference between the two can be said to be an excellent material for small talk. In this way, Dai Yang and Medusa chatted unhurriedly in the cave. After a while, they stretched out, moved their stiff muscles and bones, and put their eyes on the swaying tail of the snake demon.

"...Hey, let me lean the tail down."

Dai Yang tucked Snake Ji's elastic tail behind him, leaned back on it like the back of a sofa, and stretched his limbs comfortably.

"You, you..." Seeing the man fiddling with her body as it should be, Medusa bit her lip, showing an expression that she wanted to be angry but didn't know where to start. She stared at the cheeky man in annoyance, then shrugged her shoulders again, sighing like giving up. "You really are an arbitrary guy..."

"What does it matter? There are no outsiders." Dai Yang patted Snake Ji's tail, and suddenly remembered another question. "Speaking of it, do you know what was going on at that time? It was when I almost fought with Karan Birdman that day..." Dai Yang recounted the situation at the time, and Medusa showed a pensive expression after listening. .

"Did you draw out the potential power of the body by stimulating internal energy? I have never heard of such combat skills... However, the existence of the demon will indeed inhibit the power of the servant. What you said cannot condense internal energy, you think it should be This is the reason." Medusa, who said this, couldn't help shaking her head and sighing. "But compared to this kind of thing, what surprised me more is that I haven't noticed it so far, and I have reminded you like this..."

"Hey, who is all right to delve into that kind of thing? It can't bring a penny of income." Dai Yang retorted naturally.

"But did you still encounter problems?" Medusa looked at him coldly.

"...So, am I asking you for advice?" Dai Yang smiled bitterly and scratched his head. "It doesn't matter if you can't condense your inner strength, but what happened to the weird power that emerged in the end?"

Dai Yang mentioned the fierce violence that suddenly came out when he used his twelve success force to press Dantian. That power was completely different from the internal energy he had cultivated. It rushed out of the dantian and rammed through the meridians like a wild horse, causing his internal energy to collapse and his blood flow-if every time he raises his Qi in the future, With this kind of result, wouldn't the inner strength of more than ten years of cultivation be abolished? Thinking of such serious consequences, even someone who is concerned about deficits can't help but feel a strong sense of crisis.

"Don't worry, it's just that you accidentally induced a demon." Medusa revealed the truth in a calm tone.

"Monster...monsterous?"

"Yes." Medusa nodded. "The demon will indeed consume the vitality of the host, but on the other hand, the host can also use the power of the demon... to drive the demon of the demon and use the power of the demon. For the demon, this is what they can do. The real purpose of the demon. Basically, no one will waste their energy to raise the useless demon."

"But, evil spirit is the power of evil spirits, right? I'm a mortal."

"Yes, a'mortal' with two superior demons as lowly demons." Medusa pursed her lips and looked at someone with a mocking look. "The life pill is the source of the power of the demon. There is the life pill of me and Xiruda in your body. It is not surprising that you can elicit the demon energy. As for you cannot use the power called'inner strength', I guess it should be It is mutually exclusive with the evil spirit."

"...You mean, I can't use my inner strength anymore?" Dai Yang showed a toothache.

"You, no matter whether you have internal energy or demon energy, in the final analysis, it is the power derived from your life essence. From this perspective, your power has not disappeared, but it has been transformed into demon energy. The form exists." Medusa patiently explained to Dai Yang. As a superior demon, her understanding and comprehension of power can be said to far surpass that of someone who neglects to practice.

"The demon energy is the foundation of the demon energy, which can produce ever-changing effects depending on the way it is used. Among them, the monarch-level demon can compete with the highest level of dragons. Since you successfully elicit the demon energy, it is also equivalent to breaking the lower position. The power limit of race is a dream chance for mortals who desire to gain power."
