Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

"Change your way of life?"

Mu Qingxue looked at Shen Lang with a half-smile:

"How do you want to change your life?"

Shen Lang has a serious face:
"Master Mu, today's Shenzhangtang, to be honest, already exists against the trend of the times. Today's trend is a torrential flow. The emperor is brutal and licentious, the officials are corrupt and corrupt, and the nobles and wealthy families are lavish. When the royal family went to the temple, they only treated the common people as leeks, and no one cared about the life and death of the common people. The whole world is turbid and I am alone, which is very annoying."

Mu Qingxue clasped her hands, sat upright, with her back straight:
"Then what do you think we should do? Integrate into the trend, go with the tide?"

"Of course not." Shen Lang's eyes were piercing: "If you don't break it, you can't stand it. If you break it, you can stand it. With my reputation among the people, as long as Lord Yan raises his arms, there will be followers like clouds..."

Mu Qingxue chuckled lightly:
"I have long felt that you are not a rebellious person, but a person growing on your rebellious bone."

Shen Lang said seriously:
"Lord Mu, what you said is unfair. I am not rebelling against it. If the monarch is wise, the people are prosperous, and the sea is clear and the river is calm, how can I be rebellious? I just feel that the current emperor is desolate. Well, the royal family doesn't have a good thing either. In terms of cruelty, Bailong and Qiankun are probably even higher than the emperor.

"After all, the Black Lotus Demon Nest and the adventures I have experienced in the Yifu Mansion are all related to Bailong and Qiankun. The royal family takes the lead and follows others. Can the common people have a good life?"

Mu Qingxue said leisurely:

"But you know, since ancient times, when dynasties changed and heroes competed for hegemony, it was always the top power who decided whether one side could rise. People's hearts are important, but they are not important.

"No matter how popular the people are, if there are not enough and strong top experts, nothing will happen.

"Emperor Taizu was able to sweep away the heroes and rule the East, not because he was so kind and caring for the people, but because he was unparalleled in martial arts and invincible in the world. There are also many top-ranking powerhouses such as Qiankun Daoist who follow him."

Shen Lang clapped his hands:
"Isn't that a coincidence? Lord Yan is also the leader of the contemporary heroes and number one in the world. He also has the virtuous helper Wanfa Daoist. He also has you, Yan Tutou, and Wu Tutou, three top-ranking third-rank powerhouses under his command...

"Although Venerable Liuli has a problem and loses a strong pillar of righteousness, the killing arhat who does not deal with the real people of the royal family can also be drawn as an ally. Overseas, there is also the Dragon King of the Seven Seas who has worked in Nanyang for many years. Hiss... such a calculation, I Fang has a great chance of winning!"

Yan Tianying, Wanfa Daoist, Killing Arhat, Qihai Dragon King, Dongtu's former nine first-rank, there are four here.

And what about the royal family?

Just Bailong and Qiankun.Even if Daoist Wulei really had a secret appointment with Bailong, there were only three of them.

It's okay for Yan Tianying to stand up to two, right?
Wouldn't it be an easy task for Daoist Wanfa, Shasheng Arhat, and Dragon King of the Seven Seas to fight together?
The more Shen Lang thought about it, the more he felt that the chances of winning were great, and he had already begun to figure out what kind of political system to adopt after replacing Chu.

While thinking about it, Mu Qingxue said quietly:
"Do you think that our side has a great advantage?"

Shen Lang was startled, and nodded without hesitation:

"I think the advantage is not great, but absolute."

Mu Qingxue said:

"You're not a majestic Bodhisattva, are you?"

Shen Lang said:
"Even if Dawei joins Bailong and Qiankun, Master Yan will not treat him like a joke..."

Mu Qingxue sighed:
"Then have you ever thought...if Bailong and Qiankun collude with Dawei, at the last moment, they may launch a large-scale blood sacrifice, sacrifice a city or even several cities, summon the incarnation of the devil Buddha, and burn everything together?"

"This……"

Shen Lang frowned, but he really didn't think about this possibility - the rebellion story in his mind really didn't have such a situation.The only one with a touch of fantasy is Liu Xiu's Great Stonefall Technique.

But after Mu Qingxue mentioned it, he realized that the historical process of this world has never been controlled by ordinary people, and when calculating the power comparison between the two sides, one cannot just look at the number of strong people on the surface.

Because in this world, there is still a hellish place like "Star Abyss".

With the ruthlessness and selfishness of the royal family, it is absolutely necessary for Bailong and Qiankun to sacrifice thousands of people and summon the demon Buddha to come.

Mu Qingxue said again:
"This is only the last resort. Even if this method is not used, the strength of the Great Chu royal family is not as simple as it appears on the surface. The two great weapons that Emperor Taizu relied on to run rampant in the world, the Nine Suns Sword and the Battle Soul Banner, even if they only In the hands of the emperor, he can also display the power of the second rank. But the emperor is just a fake fourth rank made of spirit pills.

"The power of these two great soldiers would be even more incredible if they were driven by a real person. And the background of the royal family is not only that. In the magic cave, the monster that resembles the overlord 'Li Jin', you think the most It is possible, whose arrangement is it?"

Shen Lang was silent for a while, then slowly said:
"Master Qiankun?"

Mu Qingxue nodded:
"That's right. Although there is no name 'Li Jin' in the history books, if that heroic overlord really existed, then only Daoist Qiankun, who has lived from the end of the previous dynasty to the present, has the ability to learn from the official history books. Among them, delete his name."

Shen Lang frowned, and said slowly:
"Do you suspect that that monster is also the 'underground' of Daoist Qiankun?"

Mu Qingxue looked solemn:
"Before Guo Kai, the one who discovered the devil's lair might have been Qiankun Daoist. The monster that resembled Li Jin might have been arranged by Qiankun Daoist.

"Because of temperament, the overlords who fought for hegemony in troubled times were basically warriors, and Taoist monks basically only served as military advisers and assistant ministers unless there was a cult.

"And first-rank martial artists have a characteristic. That is, even if the primordial spirit is destroyed, as long as their physical body is not deliberately destroyed, their physical body can continue to survive for many years.

"Of course, that kind of situation is just a living dead, and because there is no primordial spirit, they are already dead in essence. They are easily eroded by the ghostly breath and become powerful and terrifying zombies. Therefore, no one dares to keep the body of a first-rank warrior easily.

"But Daoist Qiankun may have mastered some kind of secret technique. He can borrow the magic power of Xingyuan in the magic cave to transform Li Jin, who has been out of his wits, into the monster in the lava river...

"If this conjecture is true, the real Qiankun, who has always been low-key and not as ostentatious as Bailong, is probably more terrifying than Bailong."

Although there is no solid evidence, as a criminal investigation department, Shenzhutang originally wanted to speculate on all possibilities, make bold assumptions, and carefully verify.

As for Mu Qingxue's conjecture, there is a very strong support point, that is Venerable Liuli does not lie, at least she never lied before she became the "Witch of Six Desires".

Since she said that in the last years of the previous dynasty, there was a heroic overlord "Li Jin", then such a person should really have existed in history.

However, up to now, the majestic overlord of one party is actually unknown in the history books. This must be because his name and deeds have been deleted from the history books many years ago.

The only one who can do this is the Daoist Qiankun who is older than Dachu, whose power and strength stand at the apex of Dachu.

With such a support point, Mu Qingxue's speculation is no longer groundless speculation.

The giant monster in the lava river is probably really arranged by Daoist Qiankun, and it is the "foundation" controlled by him!
"Realist Qiankun has lived for more than 150 years, from the end of the previous dynasty to the present, and the top powerhouses of his time have withered one after another, and he is the only one who is still alive.

"How many secrets this kind of existence has mastered and how deep it has been hidden, I am afraid that no one in the world today knows. Apart from the giant monster in the devil's lair, does he have other similar arrangements? No one knows. "

Mu Qingxue looked at Shen Lang, and said leisurely:

"Do you still feel that the advantage is great, and the odds are mine?"

Because Shen Lang had two confrontations with Bailong sect's disciples, he had always regarded Master Bailong as his great enemy.As for Qiankun, it's just a matter of jealousy.

But now after Mu Qingxue's analysis, Shen Lang realized that he had never had a direct conflict with him, and he usually acted in a low-key manner. It is a truly unfathomable big boss.

Even an ordinary person, as long as he lives long enough and his status is high enough, he may grasp countless secrets and hide countless trump cards, not to mention Qiankun, who has always been at the apex of the power of the Great Chu, and has lived from troubled times to the present day.

Now the "underground" of Qiankun has faintly revealed the tip of the iceberg.

And just this corner alone is enough to make people startled—the strength of the giant monster in the lava river should not be underestimated.

It is still sleeping, and it can suppress Mu Qingxue with only one tentacle.

After Venerable Liuli came, he could only make him sleep again, but could not purify him.

It can be seen from this that the giant monster, at least with the strength of its physical body, can make a first-rank Daoist helpless.

Having said that, being able to sleep in the lava river itself shows how tyrannical his physical body is.

Seeing Shen Lang's resentment, Mu Qingxue smiled again and said:

"If you feel unwilling, just work hard to practice. You are the first genius who can practice both martial arts and martial arts. If you can master both martial arts and martial arts in the future, maybe..."

Mu Qingxue stopped talking and didn't continue talking.

Shen Lang was silent for a while, then smiled:
"Speaking of which, it's a good thing that the monster in the lava river was exposed. When Lord Yan comes back, tell him about it, and then ask Venerable Liuli to find out where the devil's lair is, then we'll have a lot of fun. No matter how strong the monster is, , can it still withstand Master Yan's fist?"

Mu Qingxue is not as optimistic as he is about this:

"Master Yan is back, and Qian Kun is of course back. If he finds that there is a trace of a real person casting spells in the magic cave, he will probably transfer the monster. You know, Qian Kun is a master of arrays who is proficient in space teleportation. Senior Liu Li is in poor health. , can’t be dispatched, and in terms of speed of action, no one in the world can match Daoist Qiankun.”

……

Yan Tianying and Wanfa Zhenren returned to the capital at dusk.

Yan Tianying's condition is fine, nothing abnormal can be seen.

Master Wanfa looked a little tired, and his face was a little pale.

It can make a first-rank Daoist person look pale and tired. It is obvious that the demon tide that erupted in Yunding Demon Palace this time is very dangerous.

Just after returning, before taking a breath, Yan Tianying received the report from Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue.

Master Wanfa learned that his best friend was infected by demons and wandered on the edge of falling demons. He couldn't take a break immediately. He took two verses written by Shen Lang to visit Fa Liuli's secret realm of heaven and earth. By the way, he also wanted to inquire about the The specific location of the devil's cave.

Yan Tianying stayed in the yamen, listening to Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue's statement about "Li Jin".

"Li Jin..."

After hearing Mu Qingxue's conjecture, Yan Tianying frowned and recalled for a while before slowly saying:

"I've heard of the name Li Jin before.

"When I was young, I heard a story told by a long-lived old man in the village. It said that in the last years of the early period, there was a heroic overlord named Li Jin who defeated the great ancestor of Great Chu three times in the early days of his establishment.

"The worst time was when Taizu was beaten until his entire army was wiped out, and he fled in panic with only a hundred remnants...

"However, after the disastrous defeat of the Emperor Taizu, he got a blessing in disguise. When he was fleeing for his life, he strayed into a mysterious secret realm and obtained the two divine weapons, the Nine Suns Sword and the Battle Soul Banner.

"Taizu and the hundreds of remnant soldiers under his command recuperated in the secret realm for a year, and their strength improved greatly. After they came out, they defeated Li Jin's forces in the first battle. After that, they soared into the sky, and their rising momentum was unstoppable."

Hearing this, Shen Lang couldn't help but wonder:
"Li Jin was Taizu's formidable opponent in the early stage, and the experience of Taizu's final victory over him is also quite legendary, and even has a sense of 'destiny is favored'. Then such a story should be written in the history books to praise Taizu. The ancestor's indomitable and unyielding destiny, why did the history books not record Li Jin's deeds?"

Yan Tianying shook his head:

"I didn't know why. When I was a child, I just took it as a story and listened to it. After all, there are no books! But I didn't think...the story might be true, so Li Jin might actually be a real person."

Having said that, his expression gradually became a little dignified:

"A heroic overlord who once defeated the Taizu three times, but did not leave his name in the history books... The monster in the lava river, with facial features and appearance exactly like Li Jin... It seems that there is a deep plan hidden in it. The planner, indeed It is possible that it is Daoist Qiankun."

As soon as I said this, there was a ring of bells on the outside of the door, and there was a faint scent of fragrance, but it was Wanfa Daoist who came back.

Yan Tianying hurriedly stood up to greet him:
"How is Liuli?"

Master Wanfa shook his head:
"It's not good. I didn't see her, and I only talked to her through the screen, but even if I only heard her voice... I was actually affected."

After a pause, he looked at Shen Lang again:
"You are very good, Liu Li asked me to tell you that those two verses were very helpful to her, and asked me to thank you on her behalf."

Shen Lang was also unhappy, and only said:
"Don't dare. His lord has done a lot of favors to his disciples, and I should do my best to repay them."

Master Wanfa nodded slightly, looking at Shen Lang just like a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she looks more satisfied——

Although Mu Qingxue is not her disciple, she and Yan Tianying have the essence of master and apprentice.And Qin Qing is her first disciple.

This boy Shen Lang, in front of her and Yan Tianying, worshiped the world with Mu Qingxue, and made an appointment with Qin Qing, so to Master Wanfa, Shen Lang is really her son-in-law.

And this son-in-law is not only talented, but also extremely talented. He is also very reliable in his work, calm, cautious and courageous.

The most important thing is that a first-rank Daoist is in trouble, and with his current cultivation, he can actually help.

With such a good son-in-law, Master Wan Fa felt that in the future, even if he and Yan Tianying were transcended and ascended to immortality, even if Qin Qing, the successor of the mantle, was a little unreliable, Wan Fa's sect could be passed on safely under Shen Lang's care. go down.

At this time, Yan Tianying asked again:
"Can you find out the exact location of that devil's lair?"

Master Wanfa nodded and said:
"Of course. It's deep underground among the southwest mountains. Speaking of which, it's only a thousand miles away from my Wanfamen Mountain Gate."

Thinking that there is a cave where a large number of monsters from the star abyss are hidden in the underground only a thousand miles away from his mountain gate, and there is a big monster sleeping there, and Master Wanfa is in a very bad mood.

If this has not been noticed, and one day the monsters in the magic cave surge out, wouldn't the Wanfamen Mountain Gate be the first to bear the brunt?

The distance of more than a thousand miles is not a safe distance for Xingyuan monsters, especially for the big monsters that can't even purify them with magic glass.

"Let's go immediately and meet that monster for a while!"

Yan Tianying acted resolutely, and immediately walked out of the study, and wanted to go to the gate of Wanfa Gate with Daoist Wanfa through the teleportation array, and then go to the magic cave.

Speaking of which, the Demon Cave is so close to Wanfamen Mountain Gate, although it is a serious threat to Wanfamen in the long run, it is convenient for Yan Tianying and Wanfa Daoist to go there right now.

Of course Mu Qingxue and Shen Lang wanted to follow, but Yan Tianying raised his hand to stop them:
"You were newly married last night, and you started to investigate the case before dawn today. You have also gone through a lot of dangers, and you are still staying in the yamen to rest. Don't worry, if the monster is still there, you will definitely die."

Mu Qingxue also knew that she still couldn't get in the way of first-rank fights, let alone Shen Lang.

Immediately, the two had no choice but to stop and watch Yan Tianying and Master Wanfa leave.

"What shall we do next?"

"It's time for dinner, let's go to the dining hall to eat first."

"Okay. By the way, how about I eat it for you?"

"..."

Mu Qingxue didn't speak, just put her arms around her chest, narrowed her eyes and looked at Shen Lang, her eyes were a little dangerous.

"Master Mu, what expression do you have? Can you stop thinking in the wrong direction? I mean you are away on a business trip and haven't eaten my ramen for a long time. I plan to go to the canteen kitchen and make you a ramen personally..."

Mu Qingxue snorted lightly:
"When you were in the cave in the morning, you had the nerve to say that I wanted to be crooked for the good things you did yourself?"

Shen Lang muttered:

"We are all serious couples, isn't that the way of a serious couple? Besides, I also ate you..."

"Don't say it!"

Mu Qingxue covered Shen Lang's mouth, her pretty face flushed, and she breathed a sigh of relief after she made sure that the partition wall had no ears.He glared at Shen Lang angrily again:
"Don't say such things in public in the future!"

"Okay, okay, I'll only talk about it in my private room from now on... well, I won't say anything anywhere, I'll talk less and do more, right?"

Just as Shen Lang teased Mu Qingxue from time to time, blushing, while walking with her to the dining hall kitchen.

In the underground grotto deep in the southwest mountains.

Above the ground, a white light flashed, and a circular magic circle composed of countless runes and rituals unfolded out of thin air.

After a while, a tall figure emerged from the magic circle.

He looked like a middle-aged man with a majestic face, a mustache, a red robe with gold trim, and a bun.

He came to the lava river, took out a scarlet orb the size of a fist, and threw it into the lava river.

The crimson orb fell into the lava river, but did not sink, but floated on the surface of the river, slowly rotating, exuding terrifying suction, swallowing the heat of the lava like a black hole.

As the heat was continuously absorbed by the orb, the red magma quickly turned gray and dark, and solidified into rock, while the orb became brighter and brighter, and soon changed from red to white, like a small sun.

A moment later, an angry roar suddenly came from the bottom of the lava river.

A huge tentacle with red flames burning all over its body, covered with eye-shaped scarlet patterns, slammed open the frozen river surface, carrying a splash of magma, like a collapsed giant pillar, ruthlessly smashed towards the orb.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man raised his hand towards Baozhu blankly, and Baozhu buzzed, sending out an invisible wave.

The invisible wave swept over the tentacle, and the huge tentacle immediately froze in the air as if it had been immobilized.

After that, the middle-aged man made a formula with both hands, quickly formed a seal, and muttered words in his mouth.

The scarlet orb then spun rapidly, exuding stronger suction.

The huge tentacles fixed in mid-air were pulled by the suction, and slowly reached towards the orb.

Soon, the top of the tentacles touched the orb, and then merged into it strangely.

A huge tentacle with a length of more than [-] feet, which is as thick as two people hugging at its thickest part, was actually sucked in by a fist-sized orb!

Not only that, when this tentacle was sucked in, more tentacles opened up the solidified lava river one after another, and were sucked in by the orb.

After the dozens of tentacles were all sucked in, the 20-meter-tall half-body of the giant was also dragged out of the lava river by hanging upside down, and thrown into the orb.

However, the volume of the orb that absorbed such a large monster did not change at all, it was still only the size of a fist.

When the whole monster was absorbed, the middle-aged man raised his hand again, and the blazing orb flew back into his palm.

The middle-aged man held the orb in his hand, squinted his eyes, and stared at the orb that was shining brightly.

I saw a sea of ​​blazing flames inside the orb.

There was another crimson monster with a human upper body and dozens of tentacles on the lower body, swimming slowly in the sea of ​​flames.

"The Red Demon God of the Five Demon Gods...Unfortunately, even with the help of the magic power of Xingyuan, under the pressure of the law of heaven and earth, it is impossible to refine a real demon god in the mortal world..."

The middle-aged man sighed softly and looked around the grotto:

"In order to plot against a small second-rank martial artist and a mere fifth-rank Daoist cultivator, they actually took advantage of my absence to abolish such a treasure land like me... If it wasn't for the gray grandson, it would still be useful..."

Before he finished speaking, he seemed to have sensed something, and a circular magic circle formed by countless runes and rituals spread out under the middle-aged man's feet, followed by a flash of his figure, and disappeared without a trace.

The middle-aged man had just disappeared not long ago.

On the dome of the grotto, a huge hole exploded with a bang, and two figures descended from the sky and landed lightly.

It was Yan Tianying and Master Wanfa.

Master Wanfa held a compass in his hand, looked down at the compass and said:

"This is it! It really has a very strong power of the star abyss! Compared with the outer area of ​​Yunding Demon Palace, it is only a little inferior. Although there are laws of heaven and earth to balance it, if the power of the star abyss is allowed to erode, this place may change. Become a demon cave embedded in the human world, and become an outpost for monsters from the Star Abyss to invade the human world!"

Yan Tianying looked around and said:
"Compared to the threat of Genting Demon Palace?"

Master Wanfa said:
"The current threat is mediocre, far less than that of Yunding Demon Palace. The powerful Star Abyss demons cannot enter this place. The demons that enter this place are also restricted by the laws of the world, and cannot leave for the time being. But the future is uncertain."

Yan Tianying asked:
"Can't you completely cut off the erosion of the star abyss?"

Master Wanfa frowned and shook his head:

"I'm afraid it won't work. This is a naturally formed 'spectacle' that cannot be stopped by humans. The power of the star abyss and the law of heaven and earth have reached a delicate balance here, so that even the seal cannot be laid, and there is no key node that can set up a seal..."

Yan Tianying sighed:
"Since that's the case... I have to trouble Yuzhen to come and clean it up after a while, so as not to give the demon a chance to grow stronger."

Master Wanfa nodded:
"Okay. It just so happens that this place is closer to my mountain gate. I will set up a formation to monitor this place at any time to guard against the formation of a big demon."

"Thanks a lot."

"Heh, with a man like you, it doesn't matter if you don't want to work hard."

Yan Tianying was ashamed, but also smiled gratefully, and lightly shook Daoist Wanfa's catkin. Although he didn't say anything touching, everything was said in silence.

After a while of silence, Yan Tianying looked at the lava river again, but saw that the lava river had already solidified, and the surface of the river was covered with magma rock layers with pores, and there were many huge cracks. rock formations.

"It seems that we are still one step late."

Yan Tianying walked to the river, closed his eyes to feel the residual energy here for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were already very serious:
"It's no wonder that Liuli can't purify it. Judging from the aura left by that monster, its physique is slightly better than that of a first-rank warrior!"

Daoist Wanfa said in surprise:
"Stronger than you physically?"

Yan Tianying said:

"Slightly stronger."

Master Wanfa solemnly said:
"If it's really Qiankun's fault...then we have to re-evaluate Qiankun's strength. There may be more than one monster like this. After all, in the age of heroes fighting for hegemony, there are as many monsters as there are first-rank monsters killed by Chu Taizu himself. Two great masters, three great masters."

Yan Tianying smiled faintly:
"I've never underestimated Qiankun. Who dares to underestimate his old monster who is older than Da Chu? But if the monster in the lava river was really forged by Qiankun with the overlord Li Jin, then It's missing one of the most important things."

"what?"

"Will. No matter how strong that overlord Li Jin was before he was alive, and how powerful a monster he became later, as long as he is controlled by others, he will no longer have his own martial arts will. For us warriors, martial arts will, More important than physical fitness."

Yan Tianying's tone exuded strong confidence:

"This is the human world. Even if the monster's physique is slightly better than mine, it will never be able to reach the level of an earth immortal, god, or demon god. And as long as it is still in the human world, without martial arts will, it cannot be my opponent. "

Master Wanfa smiled sweetly:
"If you let the juniors see your arrogant and crazy attitude now, I'm afraid they will laugh at you."

Yan Tianying held her hand:

"I will only occasionally show off in front of you. Everyone says I am old-fashioned, but who hasn't been a chasing boy?"

……

The yamen of Shenchuitang, the kitchen of the canteen.

Shen Lang was kneading noodles with water inside, ready to make ramen, when Gu Hongye suddenly poked his head in and said with a smile:
"Master Shen, help me make a pound of ramen too!"

Shen Lang smiled and said, "Just a catty for dinner?"

Gu Hongye touched her belly:
"Since I was promoted to the middle stage of the fourth rank, my appetite has suddenly decreased a lot. If it weren't for Master Shen, your noodles are delicious, I still wouldn't be able to eat a catty."

When a warrior advances to the fourth rank, he can absorb the aura of heaven and earth into his body and condense his true energy.

Before that, warriors condensed their internal strength, all of which were extracted from their own blood.

Human body qi and blood, of course, cannot be created out of nothing, there must be enough energy to support it.

And warriors in the realm of internal strength can't directly absorb the aura of heaven and earth, so even if there are various tonics and even elixir to replenish energy, their appetites are all like rice buckets.

Until the fourth rank, to be precise, until the middle stage of the fourth rank when the "true qi seeds" turn into "true qi vortexes", they can breathe in the heaven and earth aura at any time during their daily breathing, and can use the heaven and earth aura to replace part of the blood. At this time, the appetite will gradually decrease.

Responding to Gu Hongye's request, Shen Lang was about to meet up some more, when Bai Shishi also poked her head from the door:
"Master Shen, I want Erjin Ramen."

"Understood, you go outside and wait first, don't make trouble here."

"okay."

Bai Shishi retracted her head quickly, and went to the dining hall with Gu Hongye, and saw Mu Qingxue sitting in a corner of the dining hall, hugging a snow-white kitten and pawing comfortably.

Of course, Bai Shishi and Gu Hongye had met Mu Qingxue long ago, otherwise they would not have known that Shen Lang was making ramen in the back kitchen, so they walked over without any notice and sat opposite her.

Gu Hongye looked at the little white cat in Mu Qingxue's arms, and said:

"Master Mu, I seem to have seen this kitten somewhere."

"This is Shen Lang's cat."

"Oh, let me tell you, I saw it at Shen Butou's house. Master Mu, do you like cats?"

"Ah."

"Then why don't you have a cat at home?"

"Maybe I'm too mighty and domineering, all the cats are afraid of me. Only Shen Lang's cat is not afraid of me."

"Haha...Master Mu really likes to joke."

Gu Hongye and Mu Qingxue lived diagonally across from each other, went shopping and drank wine together, spent dinner and supper at Shen Lang's house together, practiced swordsmanship under Mu Qingxue's guidance, and worshiped heaven and earth together last night. Treating himself and Mu Qingxue as a family, it is no different when talking and laughing.

Although Bai Shishi also worshiped the heaven and the earth together, she only heard of Mu Qingxue by name but never met her in person, and she only formally met her until yesterday, so she was a little cautious and didn't have much to say.

Mu Qingxue was cold on the surface, but actually very soft on the inside. Seeing Bai Shishi's reserved appearance when she wanted to speak but couldn't get in, she took the initiative to say to her:
"Shishi also likes kittens?"

"Uh, well, I like spiders better..."

It's not because she likes spiders because she was a spider mother walker. Bai Shishi really liked spiders since she was a child.

Not only she is like this, but all the seven spider sisters are like this.

The reason why they were chosen by the spider mother, enlightened by the demon in their dreams, and became the spider mother walkers, apart from being impregnated with the demonic energy remaining in the Luling Mansion for many years when they were pregnant, and born with special physiques, this hobby is different from ordinary girls. , is also an important reason.

"Like spiders?" Gu Hongye asked in surprise, "Aren't spiders scary? I was quite afraid of spiders when I was young."

Bai Shishi smiled and said, "It's okay. Spiders are actually very cute. They can also help us catch bugs. They are beneficial insects."

Gu Hongye shook her head again and again:
"Anyway, I can't accept it."

Mu Qingxue didn't like spiders too much.

But thinking about the little spider that was always dancing on Shen Lang's shoulder in the dream, with a handful of silvery white hairs on top of its head, Mu Qingxue had to admit that individual spiders are still kind of cute—even though that little spider The truth of the spider is the terrifying and ferocious Star Abyss Demon God.

Gu Hongye said again:
"Speaking of which, Shen Lang's family also raised a little rabbit. It's a little bigger than a palm. It squats quietly under the eaves every day to eat vegetables. It's cute even if it doesn't jump or make trouble."

rabbit?

Bai Shishi shivered, and almost instinctively made a defensive movement of hugging her chest——Shen Lang's seemingly harmless little white rabbit left a heavy psychological shadow on her.

Gu Hongye, a chatterbox, continued to mutter:

"There is also Shen Lang's Dao Bing Xiaogu, a very special little skeleton with great swordsmanship. Before I left Beijing for a business trip, I sparred with it every day, and my swordsmanship improved by leaps and bounds... If it wasn't for this experience, I would have Master Mu. Point out, when I went out of Beijing to catch the flower picker, I really couldn't break through and kill the thief."

If she couldn't kill the thief, she wouldn't be able to get the secret book of the strange door that opened the door to her new world—it wasn't a secret book of the evil door, it was a serious secret book of dual cultivation of the strange door, and it was only because some people had a dark mind that they read it. It has become the evil skill of collecting yin and nourishing yang.

When used by serious people, it is a dual cultivation method that is beneficial to both parties.

Even females are beneficial. Although female cultivation does not increase the power, they can enjoy life, right?
It's a pity that although Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue didn't summon her last night, even though she had already paid her respects, her miraculous skill was useless so far.

And hearing Gu Hongye mention "Little Skull", Bai Shishi couldn't help shivering again.

That little skull was even more unkind, beat her up, almost picked her hamstring, and grabbed her by one foot, dragging her backwards to run across the wilderness.In the underground altar of Tianxiang Club, a ghost story was told, which killed the spider sisters enough.

Therefore, Bai Shishi also has a very heavy psychological shadow on Xiaokulou.

Seeing Gu Hongye relishing the story of her practicing sword with the little skull, Bai Shishixin said that these sisters are really simple, and they don't know anything about the little monster raised by Shen Lang's family...

But having said that, she already lives next door to Shen Lang, but she still doesn't know how terrifying the little monsters in Shen Lang's family are, so Bai Shishi feels that she should be closer to Shen Lang.

At least I was not only beaten by Shen Lang, but also saved by him, right?
At this time, Mu Qingxue asked Bai Shishi again:
"Do you have any clues about the fourth grade of poetry?"

"I can perceive the inspirations of heaven and earth, but I don't dare to receive them into my body for the time being..."

Bai Shishi is born with a special physique, and it is not a problem for her to perceive the inspiration of the world.

Of course, without the help of the demon god now, it is an extremely difficult hurdle to receive and guide the inspiration into the body.

Mu Qingxue said:

"Don't worry. Being able to perceive the heaven and earth intelligence by yourself relatively easily means that you have the talent of the fourth rank, and you already have the foundation for getting started with the fourth rank. Now that you are not sure, you should first perceive and contact the heaven and earth intelligence many times, and gradually become familiar with it. Personality. Wait until you are sure, and then formally try.”

Bai Shishi nodded gratefully:

"Thank you, Master Mu, for your enlightenment."

Just as he was speaking, Shen Lang came over with a huge tray.

On the tray, there are four bowls of different sizes.

The biggest one, which is similar to the small pot, is naturally Bai Shishi's two catties of noodles.

The two medium-sized ones are a pound of noodles from Shen Lang and Gu Hongye.

The smallest one is Mu Qingxue's three liang noodles.

"Here comes the face, make way!"

"Thank you, Master Shen!" Gu Hongye took his bowl of noodles and thanked her with a smile.

"Master Shen is so kind!" Bai Shishi also took her bowl of noodles and said with a sweet smile.

Shen Lang put the bowls and chopsticks in front of Mu Qingxue, and said with a smile:
"It's a pity that there is no chili. Otherwise, make some spicy oil and pour it on the noodles...the taste, I guarantee you can't get enough of it."

"What's chili?" Gu Hongye asked clearly while slurping the noodles.

"A flavoring plant."

"Like onions, garlic, ginger, and leeks, grow out of the soil?"

"No, the chili plant can probably grow this tall. It has small white flowers and small green fruits at the beginning. The fruits grow slowly and will turn into red fruits when they mature. It looks like this..."

Shen Lang dipped some noodle soup with his chopsticks, and drew a chili on the table.

"I haven't seen it before." Gu Hongye shook his head.

"I haven't seen it either." Bai Shishi also said she didn't know.

Mu Qingxue said, "I seem to have seen this kind of fruit somewhere..."

After thinking for a while, he said:

"By the way, I went to Wanfamen Mountain Gate with Lord Yan last summer, and saw some fruits in the wild slopes outside the mountain gate. But they were pale yellow, not so big, only a small knuckle It’s so long. The second junior sister Chu Lu told me that this fruit is poisonous. Although the poison won’t kill anyone, it will make your tongue feel like it’s on fire.

Shen Lang's eyes lit up:
"This is chili pepper! It turns out that there are chili peppers in the mountains in the southwest! Mr. Mu, next time we go to Wanfamen together, you take me to find that kind of fruit. I will transplant and cultivate them to reduce their spiciness. Come down and it will be delicious!"

The spiciness of wild chili is probably poisonous, and normal people can't eat it.But there are little rabbits, and it is absolutely no problem to cultivate them into delicious peppers with moderate spiciness.

"Okay, if we go to Wanfamen together next time, I will take you to find Chili."

To end this topic, for some purpose, Gu Hongye showed off a trick for Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue.

She shoved a noodle into her mouth, closed her mouth, her pink cheeks fluttered for a while, then stuck out her tongue, and saw a bow made of noodles hanging on the tip of her tongue.

Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue were momentarily stunned by this delicate work, not understanding how she did it.

Seeing the stunned looks of the two, Gu Hongye couldn't help raising her eyebrows, "How about it, I have a good tongue, right?"

Mu Qingxue praised from the bottom of her heart: "Amazing!"

Shen Lang also sighed: "Admiration!"

Gu Hongye said solemnly: "There are more powerful techniques, and I will let you try them when I have a chance."

The simple Mu Qingxue nodded with a smile: "Okay."

Shen Lang felt something was wrong, and felt that there was something in Gu Hongye's words.

Bai Shishi, who had been instilled with a lot of unhealthy knowledge by "Jade Spider" Yue Linger, saw through Gu Hongye's intentions at a glance, and murmured to herself:
Gu Hongye looks heroic and a little arrogant, but she is also a charming servant girl!
Sure enough, people can't be seen!
But her skills are worth learning a thing or two...
