Force is not the key, since ancient times there are countless examples of how the weak overcome the strong.
Yan Dan intends to start getting to know this young Celestial Master seriously, even if it is as small as a hair. She moved to the wall of the gourd and tapped on it: "Tang Zhou?"
Tang Zhou's voice was blurred, and he hummed softly, as if he had just woken up from sleep.
This is the best time to wake him up from his sleep one minute earlier, and he will definitely catch her to go to alchemy in advance, and one minute later, she will be fully awake, and it will not be easy to talk.
Yan Dan let out a soft voice and said slowly, "Your Taoism is so brilliant, you must have a famous teacher?" If you teach such an apprentice, this master must be an extraordinary person. The kind that makes disciples complain.
"My master is a foreigner, and he's a bit weird. What are you asking about?" Tang Zhou's voice was still a little hoarse, and he answered casually.
"Your master hates us monsters?"
"It's not hate, it's hate." He said softly, "Before he became a monk, he originally had a wife and children. When he returned home from outside one day, he found that his wife and children were eaten up by demons, leaving only two bones. ."
Yan Dan wanted to cry without tears. Tang Zhou has been influenced by what kind of influence since childhood, it is already conceivable, her hope of escaping and ascending to heaven has become slim. She thought about it for a while and chose her words carefully: "However, not all demons can do evil." For example, she.
After a while, Tang Zhou said, "Maybe, but I haven't seen it before."
Yan Dan can't wait to scream, that pure and good demon is already in front of him, but he is locked in the jade gourd and cannot see the light of day. Suddenly I heard Tang Zhou continue: "Remember the spider spirit I told you about the first time I caught? I saw him pitiful at the time, so I let him out, and the first thing he made after he came out was It just turned back on me."
Yan Dan sighed, feeling that he had no hope of surviving, and said feebly, "I see. Then in your heart, do you also hate demons just like your master?"
"You have too many questions. From today onwards, you are only allowed to ask three questions a day, and I will be happy if you don't answer." Hearing the voice, he seemed to be completely awake, "If you want to convince me to let you go , don't waste your time, you're not the first to play this trick."
Yan Dan leaned against the gourd wall and couldn't help but say, "It's pitch black here, how do I know when it's dark, when it's bright, and what counts as a day?"
Tang Zhou said indifferently: "You estimate the time yourself, and it will not be overdue. Well, you have asked three questions today."
Yan Dan snorted heavily, gritted his teeth with hatred, only to listen to Tang Zhou's slow ridicule: "If you keep humming like this, be careful with your nose crooked."
Yan Dan was so angry that he thumped the ground twice, and suddenly laughed again. In any case, there is still some progress. As long as there is time, there is still hope. She can get through the more difficult situation safely, but I don't believe that this hurdle can't be overcome.
She must stay awake in this dark magic weapon, and starvation is sometimes the way to stay awake. She is not like a mortal, she will be dizzy if she doesn't eat for two or three days. Instead, she has to spend more time practicing magic, like the most mysterious tantra in the world, using this hungry method to improve her practice and hone her mind.
She constantly listened to the movement outside, feeling every road Tang Zhou walked and everyone he had come into contact with.
Locked in the magic weapon, she was basically isolated from the outside world. Except for the voice of Tang Zhou talking to her, it was quiet and there was no sound at all. In such a quiet and dark environment, it is indeed impossible to stay for long without courage and will.
But slowly, Yan Dan could vaguely hear the voices outside, which must be said to be a big surprise.
"Tang Zhou?" She sat quietly for a long time, but couldn't help but speak.
Tang Zhou seemed to sigh and said in frustration, "What do you want to say?" It's been ten days, and no demon has ever stayed in the jade gourd for that long, and now he can't help but compete with the other party .
"I want to know, do you hate us monsters very much in your heart?" This is very important, as long as the other party has half a cent of compassion, she can still be persuaded by her.
Tang Zhou turned around and said, "Why don't you ask about your companion?"
Of course she wanted to ask, but the time had not yet come. Now that she is doing everything she can do, she naturally can't let the other party guess her mind together. What's more, she just asked. According to Tang Zhou's temperament, the more angry she is, the happier she is. If she asks, it's no good.
"I can't protect myself now, why do I care about other people's life and death?"
Tang Zhou seemed to smile and said, "That's what your demon friendship is. It was a waste of that fish spirit to stop me and want you to escape."
Yan Dan didn't speak, his heart was burning like a fire, but after thinking about it, he felt that he should believe in Yu Mo's ability. If he returned to the Kuanlan Mountains and found that he had not gone back, he would definitely come out to look for her. Find a way to get out as soon as possible.
"That's because you already have prejudice in your heart, but you don't understand it at all." Yan Dan was angry, but restrained himself, "We demons are always constrained and have our own principles, even if we are evil, we will not compare You mortals are worse."
Tang Zhou did not speak.
That means that today he will no longer pay attention to himself.
Yan Dan thought about it over and over, and finally closed his eyes slowly. Just when he seemed to be awake, he was suddenly awakened by a thin sound of water. She rolled over and sat up: "Can you let me come out to get some air, just a cup of tea."
Tang Zhou responded very simply: "Okay."
Suddenly, a bright light appeared above his head, and Yan Dan's joy in his heart was beyond words. She is now bound by spells, and her body has shrunk so much that even one window looks much larger. Looking at the light coming in through the window, it was about evening. And they should be in an inn now, but the layout of the rooms is very old, and there is no noise from the busy city outside. It is a small inn in the suburbs.
"Do you think it's different from what you saw before?" Tang Zhou suddenly asked with a chuckle.
Yan Dan nodded and turned around, but seeing the water vapor in front of him, he couldn't even speak for a while: "You, you, you..."
Tang Zhou leaned back and pushed his wet black hair out of the wooden barrel, half-smiling, "What am I?"
Yan Dan immediately accused and said, "I don't want to watch you take a bath!"
Tang Zhou looked at her innocently: "You said you wanted to come out and get some air, and I didn't invite you to see it."
Yan Dan was lying on the mouth of the gourd, propped his chin in one hand, and pouted: "Okay, I'll watch from the side, you have a way to let me see it all!" Tang Zhou released his hand, and the jade gourd fell into the water with a plop. Before Yan Dan could respond, he poured two large mouthfuls of bath water in a row. He quickly held his breath, retracted into the jade gourd, and sealed a barrier on the mouth of the gourd with magic to prevent the water from pouring in.
Tang Zhou stood up, wiped off the water on his body, and draped the undershirt from the screen and draped it over his body before he picked up the jade gourd from the water: "How?"
Yan Dan only felt his stomach churn, and after coughing for a long time, he couldn't cough out anything, and said angrily, "Despicable."
Tang Zhou smiled but didn't say a word, put the jade gourd on the table, slowly tied his shirt belt, then put on his middle clothes, and finally put on his outer robe.
Yan Dan rolled his eyes and said with a slight smile, "Would you like me to beat your legs and rub your shoulders for you?"
Tang Zhou turned his head and looked at her lightly.
"If you let me out, I promise not to run away. What's more, even if I run away, you can catch me back. I won't do such a stupid thing." , so that it is better to act by chance. Jie was locked in a dark place all day long, and there was nothing he could do.
"Are you... seducing me?" He also smiled lightly, and said slowly, word by word, "Would you like to know that there was a fox demon who also used this trick in the past, and her final fate was what?"
Yan Dan listened to the tone of his words, but felt that his whole body was cold, and couldn't help shrinking: "I don't want to, I don't want to know at all."
In fact, to leave the jade gourd, she must first ensure that she is still alive. If only a trace of a small soul flew out in the end, it would be meaningless.
Tang Zhou picked up the jade gourd and plugged the mouth of the gourd with a wooden stopper: "If you are really smart, be honest and don't make crooked ideas, so that you can live a few more days and die easily."
Back to darkness again.
Yan Dan thought about it for a while and asked, "Is that fox demon born beautiful?"
Tang Zhou replied without hesitation, "It's much prettier than you."
Yan Dan accused: "You can't be tempted by such a beautiful woman, are you a man after all?"
After estimating three hours, Yan Dan vaguely heard a sound from outside. Now is the dead of night, who will come out in the middle of the night? She hurriedly pressed against the wall of the gourd, listening intently to the movement outside. There seemed to be people moving around the room, and not just one person.
The footsteps of those people were vain, and the movement between the landings was very clear in her ears. When Tang Zhou walked, he walked lightly and almost silently.
Yan Dan thought about it for a while, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth: She finally waited for the time to get out. If you guessed correctly, the inn where Tang Zhou lived was a black shop, and the food and tea he used must have sweat medicine, and now he sleeps so deeply that he doesn't even know that someone walks in.
She thought Tang Zhou was shrewd, but in fact it was nothing more than that.
Suddenly the earth shook, Yan Dan leaned and slid to the other side. I just heard someone say a rough voice outside: "This is jade, how much silver is it worth?" Another person answered: "It looks very shiny, you can open the cork to see, maybe there is some treasure inside! "
Yan Dan smiled lightly, thinking that you will open up quickly, so that I can get out as soon as possible.
Suddenly, the jade gourd was turned upside down. Yan Dan lost weight and went out through the mouth of the gourd. Seeing the green smoke curling up, she turned around, her clothes stretched out, she raised her hand to pull the blue silk, and turned her head to look at the bed. The young Tianshi really was still asleep.
The three behind them were stunned, and it took a long time for them to say, "Damn, there are monsters!" Then they slammed into the door and went out.
Yan Dan flicked his fingers, and the last person fell to the ground with a thud, unable to get up for a long time. The man was trembling all over, and with strength from nowhere, he let out a whimper and ran away.
Yan Dan was slightly dissatisfied: "Do I look so scary? They would be so frightened."
But today she was in a good mood and didn't want to care about anything.
She walked to the table, opened the lid of the teapot and smelled it, then took a bite from a piece of dessert on the plate: "It's really sweating medicine." She turned around and walked to the bedside, looking down at Tang Zhou. He slept soundly, his breath was long, his face was calm, and he looked very handsome. Yan Dan whispered to herself: "You look down on us being demons, but I want you to owe me favor." But the anger she had suffered in the past few days still had to be released. She slowly raised her hand, gathered strength, and then exerted force. He swung down, intending to slap him a few times, but before he touched his cheek, his wrist was suddenly held.
Tang Zhou suddenly opened his eyes: "What?"
Yan Danqiang calmed himself and showed a faint smile: "You have bugs on your face, I want to help you take them off."
Tang Zhou sat up slowly, still smiling: "You raised your hand so high just now, I thought you wanted to slap me."
Hope suddenly turned into disappointment, and she simply resented.
She was so angry that she almost jumped: "Let's talk about it first, I'd rather kill myself than go back to that magic weapon! Whether you want to chop it up in pieces, or take me to alchemy, just come, I'm not afraid! "
Tang Zhou took out a talisman paper from under the robe beside the pillow and stuck it on her wrist. I saw a flash of Huaguang, and the talisman paper suddenly turned into a heavy jade bracelet. He let go of his hand and said slowly, "This restriction prevents you from leaving five steps away from me."
Yan Dan stretched out her hand, and when her fingertips touched the bracelet, the bracelet would snap her fingers away. Although she escaped from the jade gourd, she was banned and had to follow Tang Zhou's side, and she didn't even have a chance to escape.
She looked at the bracelet for a while, but still didn't give up: "Five steps are too few, can you limit it to ten steps?"
"I thought three steps would be the best." Tang Zhou got out of bed and raised his hand to straighten his clothes. Suddenly, his sleeves tightened and Yan Dan pulled him. She looked sad and begged: "Even if it is twenty steps, I can't do anything. Is ten steps okay?"
He chuckled in a low voice, his eyes clear and handsome: "I really feel pity, I can't help but want to be tempted." His tone suddenly changed: "One more sentence and you will be put into the magic weapon."
Yan Dan pouted, muttered in a low voice, suddenly sat down at the table, picked up the dessert on the table and took a bite.
Tang Zhou raised his hand to hold her wrist, frowning slightly: "There is sweat in my heart at this point."
"When I'm hungry, I even eat arsenic in it," Yan Dan smiled proudly, "Not to mention the mere sweat medicine?"
Tang Zhou took the dim sum from her hand and put it back on the plate: "Not far ahead is Qingshi Town, go to town to eat."
"Qingshi Town?" She was slightly startled, "What are you doing in Qingshi Town?"
Tang Zhou didn't speak, just picked up his bag and walked out the door.
Yan Dan only felt that an invisible force was dragging her behind Tang Zhou, and the two were one after the other, exactly five steps away.
"I heard from others that a lot of things happened in Qingshi Town. Some people died in their homes for no reason, and some people were dug up, and the graves were haunted by evil spirits. Where are you going?"
Tang Zhou turned his head and smiled slightly: "I haven't seen it before, I want to see it."
After walking for a while, Yan Dan couldn't help but ask, "You didn't touch the food in the black shop before, so you didn't get fascinated by the sweat medicine, right?"
Tang Zhou avoided answering, but quickened his pace. They saw that the sky was slightly exposed and the fish belly was white, and the morning glow was bright. They could already see a bluestone town not far away.
