Legend of the Demon Emperor of Kyushu

Chapter 25 The Demon Way (2)

"How is it possible? There is a family of sayings, like Taoism, which divides Taoism into three realms of meditation, pure heart, and ice heart; in Buddhism, it is divided into three realms: the ultimate law, the pure law, and the supreme law. And like Yuling The spirit beasts of the messenger have their own characteristics, so it is difficult to distinguish the level."

"Isn't there a unified standard of measurement?"

"One standard..." The big demon eye pondered for a while, and said: "There is one, 15 years ago, the emperor of the Song Dynasty gathered troops from six states to fight against the wilderness, and summoned most of the world's demon extermination masters, a gathering of hundreds of schools, a huge number .

In order to command and deploy this force efficiently and rationally, the demon extermination division privately divided them into six ranks. This matter was revealed after the war.

According to this standard, Xue Yi and Baichengshuang can be ranked in the third rank, Lian Hongye and the old man Yuanji are in the second rank, and the northern border of Leizhou can be ranked in the first rank, probably only Yin Changqin, the former lord of Yi State , I heard that he was in the Great Barren State 15 years ago, with a piece of "Tianshan Companion", he just played the piano demon to death. "

Ye Ziqi was startled when he heard the words, and thought: Isn't that the one who was called "the hero" by General Lian Hongye at the Leizhou Conference 15 years ago in the story?
"Then—how many ranks can I rank in?" Ye Ziqi couldn't help asking.

"Heh." The old demon sneered, "Throwing you into the Great Barren State, how long can you live? Those are all people who lead the army alone. With you, killing seven horse thieves will cost you your life. Six You can't even step on the threshold of luxury."

"Tsk."

"I'll stop here with you for the gossip, let's get down to business, and then talk about witchcraft. How many can you use now?"

"There are three. The first one I learned was the 'Iron Erosion Technique' that I used when I defeated Gu Feng a year ago. It can make weapons rot. When performing the technique, I buried my sword in a pile of rotten the second one is the 'civet cat hiding technique', I used it when I was hiding from wolves in the mountains; I also know a 'leaf tearing technique', others, even if I have learned it, I don't need it it is good."

"Oh?" the big-eyed demon said: "So, all the spells you know use leaves as a medium. Why? Is it because there is a 'leaf' in your name?"

It turns out that the old demon can tell jokes.

"Probably because I used to make leaf bookmarks with my heart every year, and I had more contact with it." Ye Ziqi said.

"Make a bookmark?"

"My grandfather taught me the little spells that are commonly used in the library management industry. In spring, soak the fresh leaves in a large bowl of water, burn incense in front of the bowl, chant a mantra, and take it out after three days. , this kind of leaves are green and evergreen, and they will not rot for a year. In fact, they stole a little spring from heaven and earth. I have been making many of these "evergreen leaves" every year since I was five or six years old, and put them in paper books Use it as a bookmark."

"Although it's a small trick, it's still a practice. No wonder you use it proficiently." The big-eyed demon said: "As the so-called 'one leaf blocks the eyes', there are many powerful illusions that use leaves as the medium, and the five elements belong to wood. You should learn this department." Right. Young leaves are hard to find in winter, so come to the inland sea.”

"What are you doing in the inner sea? You haven't dispelled the anger just now, you want to let me in and beat me up?"

"You bastard! I am as knowledgeable as you are!"

Ye Ziqi then closed his eyes, and as soon as he reached the inner sea, a wooden bookcase appeared in front of him.The style is the same as in the Ye Family Bookstore.Ye Ziqi picked out the books inside and flipped through them: "Kyushu Scenery", "Ancient Records of the Cold God", "Songguo Shen Yizhi"... Even these books are familiar, and he couldn't help but wonder: "This is——"

"These are a few books I rescued from your burnt-down library. Some of them contain bookmarks you made. You pick out a few, hold them tight, and open your eyes."

Ye Ziqi acted according to his words, and when he opened his eyes again, there were a few green leaves on his hands, which really made him come out from the inner sea.

"Old demon head, let's discuss it again, let me uncover the two golden tiles..."

"Take care of the dantian, let your luck go for a week, and finally release the qi from the Shixuan acupoint to manipulate the leaves in your hand."

Ye Ziqi shut up and practiced demon skills.Half an hour later, after finishing his work and opening his eyes, he opened his ten fingers and released the demon power from the ten points on his finger. Under the guidance of the old demon head, he carefully extended the demon power to the leaves on the table. The invisible snake twisted and picked up the blade.

The leaves trembled slightly.

Ye Ziqi's whole body trembled.

"Don't be distracted!"

"Yes--"

Ye Ziqi carefully exercised his demon power again, holding his breath and staring at the small leaf.

"Why don't you slap it up? Keep your hands away."

"Yes--"

Candle shadows flicker in the lantern.

It was as if the shadows of the past had reappeared.

"Grandpa, what are you doing?"

"It's magic, my good grandson."

"Grandpa, teach me."

"Okay, teach my precious grandson."

"Grandson, be careful and wash the leaves clean."

"When the spell is spoken, that is mana. Grandson, close your eyes and think about it in your heart. Every word, every word, falls into the bowl, and then spring will fall into the bowl."

"If the leaves are not made into bookmarks, they can only be green for one season; if they are made into bookmarks, they can be green for a whole year. Grandpa is an old leaf, but my grandson will make a bookmark in the future, and it will be green all year round. Go to a good book."

"Grandpa, I don't understand."

"Haha. Xiao Qi, when grandpa saves enough money in the future, he will send me, Xiao Qi, to a famous family in a big city to learn from those old scholars. My grandson is very talented, he can understand all kinds of books, he should do it The good leaves that make bookmarks must scare those old pedants!"

"Grandpa, what am I going to learn from the old scholar?"

"Learning spells, you see, it's like making bookmarks. After you learn spells, you can make many things out of leaves. You can also make them fly and jump, just like a little field mouse."

"Are the spells so powerful?"

"Haha, yes, grandson, tell grandpa, do you want to learn?"

"Want to learn!"

"Haha, good, grandpa must let his grandson learn!"

"..."

I want to learn.

I want to learn.

The leaves on the table suddenly "stand up".

The two leaves are leaning on the table, like two "legs", walking on the table, walking, and suddenly dancing.

"Okay! The demon power has been mastered, boy, when you master it well, you can learn more advanced magic arts-boy, why are you crying?"

"No."

"This demon body only has such a big eye, can you still see?"

"It's because of us humans, monsters like you won't understand."

Ye Zi danced on the table, moving faster and more flexibly, as if ten invisible lines were connecting Ye Ye and Ye Ziqi's fingers, connecting the past and the future.
