Chapter 440: The Deep Pool in Memory
King Jin counts the time he transformed into demons every day - today is the 956th day. He is not the first spiritual beast to successfully transform into demons, but he is the most successful. He not only gained the strongest body, but also gained several powerful abilities, and the interval between taking the demon-making pill was the longest.
But he still needs those small pills or their substitutes. He can last for at most six months, and then his physique will gradually weaken and his ability will also become exhausted.
King Jin cherishes his demonic power extremely. It is precisely through the ability of flying, fire spitting, etc. that he was able to become the leader of the Spirit Demon Clan and was called "King Jin". He is the strongest among the Spirit Demons and is also the leader. He has the obligation to find a bright path for the clan: free and free, be a demon for generations, and no longer rely on the demon-making pills that the Giant Demon King gave.
But the future is so confused. Most spirit beasts were born and raised in Pangshan. They had never seen the outside world. Even the oldest spirit monster could not tell what the world was like two hundred miles away.
King Jin himself also urgently needed guidance. He was only six years old and had been transformed into a demon for less than three years. When he was angry, he would soar into the sky and spit out fire everywhere, and he would take his anger on anything that first came into sight like a child, but then he was extremely regretful.
He could not get this kind of guidance from other spirit demons. The spirit demons respected him and were afraid of him. They also had never seen the world. In their memory, there was only the grass that was more delicious and the clearer spring water in the past.
The parents couldn't help King Jin. The mother died tragically in the process of transforming demons. The little wisdom she gained was used to cry to her son. The eldest son was dead, and she couldn't see how long her younger son could live.
My father was not even a spirit beast and was not qualified to take the demon-making pill. He was confused about everything that happened, and just knelt beside the mare and whined. He only left two things for his son: the maroon fur and the image of a strange human.
King Jin turned into a demon in front of his father. When he showed a human appearance, his father showed a happy look and stood up from the ground. In order to maintain his father's joy, King Jin kept changing his shape until Lao Ma was completely satisfied. Not long after that, Lao Ma died, and King Jin's human form was fixed, but he rarely showed it.
The ordinary demon clan is even worse. After seeing the death of a large number of spirit beasts, King Jin did not believe in any demon clan and his heart was full of hatred. He would rather risk his life to rob the demon-making pill than bow his head and beg.
A year ago, King Jin met the dragon demon in such a state of near despair. The spirit demon was more accustomed to calling her "Yi Shijun". She said that she was not a demon clan, but she was not considered a human. King Jin never completely believed in her, but she learned a lot from her: freely control her demon power, learn how to inspire demon pills and more magical techniques, as well as knowledge about the entire world.
Two months ago, the unsolid relationship between the two sides was interrupted. The experiment on the transformation of spirit beasts into demons was over. The giant demon king Qi Wushang issued an ultimatum. The spirit demon either joined the demon army and accepted further transformation. Or died on its own and could never get the transformation of demons again. The angry spirit demon rushed out of the territory to launch an attack, grabbed some transformation of demons, and officially became enemies with the demon soldiers. Since then, the Yishijun Dragon Demon has no longer been welcomed.
But a few days ago, the dragon demon came uninvited, holding a coma human woman in her arms. "She is Taoist Pangshan, you may have seen her."
There are indeed spiritual demons who remember Yang Qingyin, but it doesn't matter anymore. The spiritual demons once looked forward to Pang Shan's help in the most painful time, but never received any news. Now they are only left with resentment, resentment towards all humans and demons.
"The Taoist Pangshan Taoist has never cared about the life or death of the spirit beast. Now we have transformed into demons. Why should we help a half-dead Taoist Pangshan Taoist?" King Jin refused to accept Yang Qingyin on behalf of all the spirit monsters.
It has only been more than five years since the Dragon Demon turned into a human form by himself. His eyes looked at King Jin and the Spirit Demons, but he looked at a group of ignorant children, full of love, but no respect. "Of course it is very beneficial, otherwise I would not send her here. The magic technique of transforming demons is far from perfect. You have to take the demon-making pill again every once in a while. This is your biggest weakness, and the giant demon king is unwilling to help you solve this problem."
"Can she help us?" King Jin didn't believe it very much.
"The Taoist Dharma is boundless. I only know that if she succeeds in transforming into a demon, she will definitely try her best to solve the problem. You don't have to ask for it."
The smile and words of the dragon demon were always very convincing. King Jin agreed to accept Yang Qingyin, and reluctantly changed his human form.
The spirit beast grows fast, and the human-shaped King Jin is already a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old. He stood in front of Yang Qingyin at the request of the Dragon Demon. At first, he was more interested in the Dragon Demon's complex magic, and gradually began to pay attention to the changes in the expression of the female Taoist priest.
Shock, doubt, joy, hatred, shy, fear, begging...
King Jin had never seen such a rich expression on any face. It was like a spell. He felt a little sympathetic to the female Taoist priest Pangshan and couldn't help asking: "She didn't just take the demon-making pill, right? There must be other injuries."
"Love hurt." The dragon demon stood behind Yang Qingyin and used many demon weapons to cast spells continuously. "The Taoists called it the 'love disaster'. It could have been completely cut in their hearts one day. It can be transformed into a demon pill to make the love disaster happen early."
"Why have to cast spells in front of me?"
"The love disaster and the demon transformation cannot be carried out at the same time. I can't stop the demon transformation, so I have to suspend her love disaster, that is, to remove part of her memory. My spell is not that powerful, so I need to let her see you and lure those memories out. Oh, you look very similar to the person she likes."
"Mu Xingqiu." King Jin whispered. He remembered this name, but he didn't have much good impression of it. He always felt that the Taoist priest had betrayed his father's old jujube horse.
"The so-called ruthlessness and abandonment of desires by Taoists is just a kind of hiding, but they invented thousands of clever hidden methods, which seem to really cut off the seven emotions and six desires. Occasionally, some emotion suddenly burst out. The deeper it hides, the greater the power of rebounding. This is the so-called Taoist tribulation. A hundred kinds of Taoist tribulations are the most difficult. Yang Qingyin used magic to bury it in the deepest part of his heart. It is not easy to completely remove it, and he doesn't know if there will be other dangers."
Long Mo had no worry expression on his face, and he seemed to be very proud of his magic. "The demon race does not have to overcome disasters, so there is no magic trick specifically to remove memories. This is something I realized by myself. It may not be as safe as Taoism. But it is absolutely effective."
Yang Qingyin was completely in her own world and could not hear the sounds outside. The expression on her face slowly turned into indifference, but King Jin felt more and more sympathy for her. "You just said 'suspended' her love disaster, will she relapse?"
"No one can tell." The dragon demon could smile at any time and recycle all kinds of demonic weapons floating in the air. "King Jin, you can restore your favorite form. At least for a period of time, she will not be tortured by the love disaster again. If she can transform into a demon successfully in the next few days, the love disaster will naturally no longer exist."
King Jin immediately changed back to the appearance of a brocade-tailed horse. "Will she stand on the side of the spirit demon?"
"If she succeeds, she will be the first Taoist priest to transform into a demon, and has endured a painful process similar to you. Which side do you think she will stand on?"
The dragon demon left and left Yang Qingyin among the spirit demon.
King Jin got inspiration from the words of the Dragon Demon. He led a group of spirit demons to stand in front of Yang Qingyin, waited for her to wake up, and patiently told her the origin of the spirit demon and the pros and cons of the demon-making pill.
The female Taoist priest's reaction was better than King Jin expected. Yang Qingyin still remembered most of the things, including how she fell into the trap of the demon clan and was forced to take the demon pill, but she couldn't think about it carefully. There was a huge abyss in her memory. No matter what she tried to recall, she would go around the edge of the abyss, but just looking inside would make her dizzy.
She could only make decisions based on her instinct and intuition: she would continue to carry out the process of transforming demons and make every effort to make herself survive. She would also work with the spirit demon to find a thorough solution to get rid of her dependence on the transforming demons.
Yang Qingyin stayed among the spirit demons, and King Jin turned into a human form several times and passed by her. But the face that once made almost all human expressions towards him was now only cold and no more disturbances. King Jin didn't know what it was, but he knew that the dragon demon removed not only the memory of a person in the heart of the female Taoist priest, but also the most important part of her emotions - this female Taoist priest no longer had any feeling of love.
Yang Qingyin is a good thing for the spirit demon. She could not recall the past deeply, so she had to devote herself to the present and study all aspects of the demon transformation. Strangely, since she removed the memory, the pain she suffered has greatly reduced. Three days later, she figured out the reason, "I used to resist the process of transforming into a demon, but now I voluntarily transform into a demon. The source of pain is not transforming into a demon, but the fear of transforming into a demon."
Yang Qingyin said that the spirit beasts all had deep fear when transforming into demons. The higher the mortality rate, the deeper the fear and the greater the pain.
Yang Qingyin, who could not recall too many things, often had a small memory popping up inexplicably. Most of them were meaningless, but some were very important. On the fifth day of staying among the spirit demons, she remembered an important thing: "The Taoist priest of Zhaoshan's elixir told me that he speculated that the main components of the demon-making pill were special demon pills and demon-stricken relics. Why don't we make the demon-making pills ourselves? We can also improve it. There are a large number of demon pills outside. As for the demon-stricken relics, there must be a lot of demon-stricken places."
The dragon demon claimed that Yang Qingyin would be of great help to the spirit demon, and the promise was finally fulfilled. Not all spirit demons were willing to believe her. Some spirit demons who were not very successful in transforming demons were filled with despair and were unwilling to participate in any adventures. King Jin believed in Yang Qingyin and even regarded her as an envoy sent by the gods. He learned some legends of the ancient gods from the demon clan, and his belief in it was increasing day by day.
On the 956th day of the successful transformation of demons, the weather was clear on that day, but after noon, a storm suddenly fell. King Jin used this as a mysterious revelation and decided to lead the spiritual demon clan and more than a hundred demon soldiers to the place of the demons to find the last hope.
Yang Qingyin walked among the demons and felt a rope behind her in a trance. She suddenly turned around and saw endless barren mountains, and the chaotic unclean aura was filled with the distance. She tried to think about where this feeling of ties came from, but she walked around in front of the deep pool in her heart.
