Some people are like a chisel. After only seeing one or two sides, they will have a deep impression on each other's mind. Even if they meet again after many years, the feelings at that time are still vivid in their minds. Time is like a bowstring, and after being pulled apart, it returns to its original position, and nothing has changed.√∟
Zhou Qi, the leader of the Wangshan Ban Secretary Department, is such a kind of person.
Mu Xingqiu's impression of him was always associated with the flying nebula seeds. In the guest room on the cliff of Wangshan, this Taoist priest of the Notes introduced him to the wonders of the seeds and translated the magic text on the scroll into human language. It was this way that Mu Xingqiu learned the Dharma of the Demon Lord.
Suddenly, Zhou Qi, who had a long beard and a belly, appeared in front of Mu Xingqiu again, and there was still a strange scene around him.
More than fifty little demons were embedded on the wall of the cave. What bound them was not ropes, but clusters of transparent mucus. All the little demons looked sleeping soundly, without any wounds on their bodies. Mu Xingqiu saw Feifei, who was embedded on the top of the cave, and his small body was curled up in the mucus, sleeping soundly.
The bald man couldn't see all this. He jumped quietly from the flea's back to Mu Xingqiu's shoulders, guarding him around him. He could hear countless monsters crawling back quietly along the cave wall.
Mu Xingqiu could see that monkey-like monsters were slowly crawling over the cave wall in groups, not launching an attack, but guarding the little monsters in groups, as if they were their children, and their food was extremely precious and no outsiders were allowed to approach.
But they were afraid of light, so they stared at Mu Xingqiu with their brown eyes. Since their fur color was almost no different from the cave wall, they looked like a group of brown beetles lying there.
"There are 341 in total, two of them died in your hands just now." Zhou Qi raised his head and said, his interest in monsters is stronger than that in the little demons.
"What is this?" Mu Xingqiu asked.
"The monkey."
"The earth monkey... seems not like this." Mu Xingqiu knew that his knowledge was far inferior to the head of the Wangshan Ban Secretary Department. But he had seen pictures of the earth monkeys in the book, which were only six or seven inches long. Digging holes and eating insects makes a living. It is not so much a monkey, but rather a mouse. Although they rarely come to the ground, they do not explode when they see light.
"This is a ground monkey that has just transformed into a demon, but their transformation into a demon is incomplete and can be called the 'first demon'."
"I do not understand……"
"It's not surprising. Few people can understand what's going on here." Zhou Qi paused. "Zuo Liuying and Yi Shijun must understand."
Zhou Qi withdrew his gaze from the monkey looking up at Mu Xingqiu, "There is a saying about the origin of the demon clan, saying that they are all descendants of ancient strange beasts. It seems that there is a little reason, but these monkeys prove that the demon clan is actually not descendants, but a group of lucky people who benefit from it. The Qianlong died in the era of the demon clan, and part of its power formed a poisonous fog. Some of it also penetrated into the surrounding land. These monkeys benefited from generation to generation, and grew bigger and gradually became what they are today."
"But they are not monsters yet."
"No. I can only guess what's next. The fire of the hidden dragon killed most monkeys, but some luck survived, just the ones you see now. Without the infiltration of the keel bones, they won't last long, and Zuo Liuying appeared."
"Zuo Liuying has already spit out the inner alchemy of the God-influenced realm, and the fire of the hidden dragon was ignited because of this." Mu Xingqiu reminded.
"The inner alchemy can be spit out. I don't know how to see it. These monkeys have already obtained enough demon power and can transform into demons with just a little help. Even Zuo Liuying, who is inhaling the breath, can do it."
"But... why?" Mu Xingqiu couldn't see any benefit in doing this. Even if these monkeys transformed into demons, they were not a powerful race, and they were unable to see the light, which was even more useless.
"These monkeys can no longer satisfy their appetite after becoming first demons. They are looking for more and more delicious food."
"Corpsy." Mu Xingqiu understood a little.
"The arrangement of the Douzhuan Star Movement Array requires a large number of demon corpses. Some demonic power remains in the corpses. This is a rare delicacy for the first demon. They can not only eat it, but also store it in large quantities." Zhou Qi pointed to the little demon on the cave wall. "Zuo Liuying knew that he could not stop the Douzhuan Star Movement Array now, so he left such a move."
Zuo Liuying still made plans in advance as always. Mu Xingqiu couldn't help laughing, "But you still discovered this place."
"I have to thank Yi Shijun who intervened."
"oh?"
"This group of first monsters is not very capable, but they are good at ground escape. This is not magic, but their instinct. After digging a hole, they can be buried quickly, and there are almost no traces. Zuo Liuying sealed all the entrances and exits of the Hidden Dragon Cave, making it difficult for outsiders to discover the dragon cave. The monkeys can freely dig holes and go in and out, stealing the demon corpses on the ground - if the Douzhuan Star Movement Array is arranged according to the plan. I don't know how Yi Shijun discovered this place, but he felt that these first monsters were not powerful enough, and he might just be dissatisfied with Zuo Liuying, so he decided to give these earth monkeys some help to put their own marks."
"It turns out that Yi Shijun is still in the Ice City. He created that wall that can enter but not exit, and then lured the little demons into it..." Mu Xingqiu couldn't say it anymore. Yi Shijun himself was a demon of all souls and often helped the demon clan. However, in his eyes, it was the most natural thing to sacrifice the demon clan. Sacrifice of dozens of little demons to create hundreds of new demons was a cost-effective deal for him. "It's so strange that Yi Shijun can still use demon magic here."
"Yi Shijun has some ability. He found a small loophole in the Douzhuan Star Movement Array." Zhou Qi did not explain in detail what the loophole was, "But he himself also revealed his flaws. Of course I can do it if the little demons can enter the dragon cave."
Mu Xingqiu sighed. There was something he had not asked for, and Zhou Qi had not mentioned it for a long time. Perhaps this was not a question at all, "When did you become a demon?"
Zhou Qi's beard is black, thick and soft, and flashes slightly in the dark, as if it had been carefully taken care of, but he did not have the habit of stroking his beards. He carried his hands on his back and looked up at the ground monkey and the trapped little demon on the cave wall. "The flesh and blood of the living demon can probably make the ground monkey transform into a demon step further. I am looking forward to seeing this scene. Yi Shijun knows more about the history of the demon clan than the Taoist dynasty. He probably thinks that the demon clan turns into a pure demon by devouring each other. Maybe he is right. He wants the ground monkey to swallow more, and this will also damage the pivot position of the Douzhuan Star Movement Array."
The monkeys have not yet begun to swallow the little monsters. They obviously have their own habits and have to wait until the prey is the most delicious before they can sip.
Zhou Qi's eyes slowly moved, he raised his right arm and pointed his palm at a ground monkey on the cave wall. The ground monkey screamed at him, and suddenly it seemed like he was strangled by a rope. His voice became dull and he stopped screaming for a while and fell to the ground.
The monkey nearby caught it, it was not a kind of friendship. It was hunger.
More than a dozen monkeys rushed up, and I snatched the corpses and shared them with them. The other monkeys who had no chance to snatch food all started to scream.
The dragon cave suddenly became very lively, and the bald man could only hear the sound, and moved twice uneasy on Mu Xingqiu's shoulder.
"Look, the monkeys who have eaten the same kind will become bigger. They use saliva to force out the hidden demon power in the little demon body. After they eat it, they will become more hungry. At that time, they will rush out of the ground regardless of everything to find other food, and the flesh and blood will appear bland and tasteless. They will specifically absorb demon power, leaving behind a bunch of useless demon corpses. They can take advantage of the night to absorb the demon power of thousands of demon clans in one night. It is a huge and unacceptable loss for the Douzhuan Star Movement Array."
Zuo Liuying's plan is to compete with the Dou Zhuang Xingshi Formation for the demon corpse. Yi Shijun's plan is more radical, and he wants to compete for the living demon.
Mu Xingqiu imagined the scene like that: the monkeys quietly emerged from the ground while night. They sucked the demonic power of the demon clan. The monsters did not know their existence at all, and would think that this was Bingkui's spell. So they strengthened their vigilance against the sky, but gave the underground monsters more opportunities...
"You haven't told you when you were deviled." Mu Xingqiu asked.
Zhou Qiping slowly turned his arm to Mu Xingqiu. He really left a loophole in the Fighting Star Movement Formation so that he could cast spells. Although he was exploited by Yi Shijun once, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages for him.
Mu Xingqiu was ready to face the battle and held the handle of the whip with his right hand. Even when he could still cast spells, he was not an opponent of the fourth level of Taoist priest of the God of Mind, but he did not have the idea of giving up or waiting to die in his head.
There are no bald people and fleas, either.
The three of them had a deep understanding and took action almost at the same time: the bald man jumped high and rushed over from the air. He had been listening to the sound and could already determine the position of the other party; the fleas used force to jump and attacked from the side; Mu Xingqiu was like an arrow from the string, and the whip in his hand stabbed at the target like a spear.
They are all fast enough and quick enough, but unfortunately their enemy is a Shintoku, and a Shintoku who can cast spells.
Zhou Qi's arm was not moving at all, and a very slight muffled sound came from the cave, like a flower bud suddenly blooming in the night.
Mu Xingqiu, bald and fleas all stopped in the air, as if they were also wrapped in mucus.
The monkeys on the cave wall were terrified, all curled up in a ball and shivered, but none of them escaped.
Zhou Qi showed a smile on his face, looking a little tired, "When will I be deviled? I want to ask yourself, Mu Xingqiu, when did you bring the Demon Lord Dharma?"
Mu Xingqiu already understood. When Zhou Qi cast a spell, he understood that the Taoist priests used not the Taoist magic spell at all, but the magic master's righteousness. It was much more powerful and more variable than the spells issued by Mu Xingqiu with straw hats and bald men.
"The method of rooting." Mu Xingqiu said gritting his teeth. Not only was his body fixed, but he was also very difficult to speak.
"Who said no? I translated that magic text and gave it to you, but the words were imprinted in my mind. I thought I could block the influence of magic text, but I was impressed by it. It was like the purest lake in the world, but I was covered in dust. I had to jump in and restore my clean body."
The power of the Demon Lord’s Dharma is hidden in the scroll, and the text is just a description of the magic, but for a Shintoshi, this is enough to allow him to practice successfully on his own.
Zhou Qi withdrew his arm and his body slowly rose up. "Zuo Liuying and Yi Shijun have arranged their own plans for the Earth Monkey. Now let me join the last plan: Taoist priests, demon clans, spirit beasts, all three are there. I want to turn the Earth Monkey into my warriors. They will be a powerful supplement to Bingkui. Mu Xingqiu, you once owe me a favor, and now it's time to repay it."
