Inner Demons

Chapter 41: twins

Views:

The two were talking, when suddenly there was a loud noise outside.

Xing Yusheng frowned tightly, and told Mu Changting to rest at ease, and he opened the door to go out to see what happened.

Who doesn't know that the current Demon Lord has a quiet temperament, loud noises have always been forbidden in the Demon Palace, and no one has ever dared to openly disobey orders.

The young man stood sternly in the middle of the open space, raised his long sword and swung it wildly, trying to push back the monsters surrounding him, with a trembling voice: "Go away! Go away! Be careful if you come closer, I will chop you into mincemeat!"

Mo Li stood aside, jumping up and down anxiously, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, and he was persuading him earnestly, "Zilan, put down your sword, they won't hurt you!"

Gu Zilan's face was pale, but he still scolded relentlessly: "I don't believe it, you monsters are the most insidious and cunning! If you are sensible, let me go quickly, otherwise the head of the Pure Heart Sect will not let you go!"

With such a bad temper, it was Gu Zilan himself at first glance.

Xing Yusheng stood and watched for a long while, then stretched out his hand lightly, Gu Zilan felt a cold fragrance of plum blossoms coming from the tip of his nose, and he suddenly became dizzy, closed his eyes, and fell down with a plop .

Mo Li let out a low cry in shock, hurried over to push Gu Zilan, and looked up at Xing Yusheng resentfully.

Xing Yusheng was helpless by his daring and daring appearance, and explained lightly: "He's fine, he just fainted, drag him back to his room and watch carefully."

The foolish Li Li regarded the current "Gu Zilan" as his former good friend Gu Zilan, even if the other person's personality changed drastically, he never noticed anything wrong.

When Mu Changting's soul was attached to Gu Zilan's body before, he even thought that Mu Changting was a ghoul.

As a monster, Li Li's life was too simple.

After listening to Xing Yusheng's narration of what happened just now, Mu Changting couldn't help laughing and said, "Fools are lucky to be stupid, and it's a blessing that Mo Li can live in Changsi City with your protection."

Xing Yusheng's eyes fell on the bright and flying smile on Mu Changting's face for a long time, and even his expression gradually softened, and he replied with a low "um".

Mu Changting thought for a while and said in a low voice, "Since Gu Zilan is awake, how do you plan to deal with him?"

Xing Yusheng asked back: "What do you want to do?"

Mu Changting pondered: "The less people know about my resurrection, the better, otherwise the impact will be great, and the first one will be affected is the Pure Heart Sect, and people all over the world will discuss it, which is not conducive to the subsequent investigation into the manipulation of the corpse. However, since Gu Zilan has already woken up, he must return to the Pure Heart Sect, firstly, his spiritual power is low and he cannot protect himself in the Demon Realm, and secondly, if he disappears for too long, someone will be anxious."

Amused by this idea, Mu Changting smiled, and said, "My headache is... Gu Zilan lost his memory after being possessed by the soul, and returned to the Pure Heart Sect, sooner or later he will show his feet."

Xing Yusheng instantly understood what he meant: "I know what to do."

Mu Changting looked up at him, and when the two looked at each other, they seemed to silently confirm whether their thoughts were the same in each other's eyes.

This kind of feeling is a little subtle, just like when they were young and slayed demons together, they knew how to cooperate with each other almost without words. That kind of rare tacit understanding is really nostalgic.

Mu Changting turned his eyes back, and looked down at his hands on the quilt.

The atmosphere was silent for a while, Xing Yusheng sat for a while, then got up silently and went out to find Gu Zilan.

Their idea is very simple. There is a trick in the devil world, called the Fascination Dafa, which can reverse and tamper with people's memories.

Now they only need to hypnotize Gu Zilan, fill in all the things that happened to him since he was possessed by the soul, and make him believe that these things are what he has experienced before, and everything will be safe.

No one would know that Gu Zilan had been possessed by a soul, and Mu Changting would naturally act in a low-key manner to ensure that the resurrection of the former head of the Qingxin Sect was in a vague state of speciousness.

In this way, the Demon Realm can maintain a balance with Xing Yusheng because they believe in the existence of Mu Changting, while the Immortal Realm will believe that this matter is purely false because of Gu Zilan's confession.

After all, in Gu Zilan's memory, he was indeed "threatened" by the Demon Lord and stayed behind to pretend to be the head of Mu.

Xing Yusheng pointed his index finger between Gu Zilan's eyebrows, and the devilish energy penetrated into Gu Zilan's consciousness as if consciously, circled around and quickly retreated out.

Xing Yusheng withdrew his hand, and after waiting for a while, Gu Zilan slowly opened his eyes, his eyes glazed over.

Xing Yusheng said lightly: "Look at my eyes."

Gu Zilan raised his head to look at him slowly, his light-colored golden eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had fallen into a fog, and the whole world was spinning.

A cold voice whispered next to his ear: "Remember, you wanted to steal back the body of the previous master to claim credit, but you failed repeatedly. The demon master saw through your tricks, so he used his tricks and forced you to stay and pretend to be the master Mu. "

Gu Zilan repeated Xing Yusheng's words in a murmur, nodded heavily and said, "Yes, I remember clearly."

Xing Yusheng flicked his sleeve, Gu Zilan fell down again and fell into a deep sleep.

Afterwards, Xing Yusheng sent someone to send Gu Zilan out of the Demon Realm, and secretly protected him back to the Pure Heart Sect.

After Mu Changting's health improved, Xing Yusheng carefully diagnosed him and made sure that he was really fine, then he agreed to take him to the Qin family's land.

Speaking of which, the Qin family gained fame in the Jianghu by virtue of the name of alchemy.

Most of the alchemists of the Qin family are extremely talented, they can think what ordinary people can't think, and they can try what ordinary people can't try, so many rare elixirs are from their hands.

Maybe God is jealous of their talents, the blood of the Qin family is all weak and weak people without exception, they can't save themselves if they save others, no one can live to be 28 years old.

Mu Changting followed Xing Yusheng's sword and landed in a deep mountain forest where the Qin family was located. Before going out, he deliberately changed his face. At this time, his face was ordinary, except for his clear and bright eyes.

Xing Yusheng glanced at him, paused, looked again, and frowned.

Mu Changting was baffled by him, touched his face in wonder, and said, "Why is this expression? Is my face not low-key enough?"

Xing Yusheng frowned and said, "It's too ugly."

Mu Changting was speechless: "...you said this before you left the house, can you change the word?"

Xing Yusheng gave a "hmm" and said concisely: "Ugly."

Mu Changting: "..."

Picky ghost, do you care what I look like? It's not your house...

Mu Changting gave him a disdainful look, didn't bother to talk to him anymore, and walked briskly like flying up the mountain.

Withered and yellow leaves covered the entire mountain forest thickly, occasionally a few deer played in the forest, and they were not afraid when they saw people coming, they just looked at them quietly and turned their heads away again.

They chose to land a little farther cautiously, also in order to reduce the risk. They did not expect that walking in the mountains and forests, looking at the mountains, waters and fallen leaves, would be interesting.

Climbing to the top of the mountain, a once glorious but now dilapidated Qin family mansion appeared at the end of the narrow path.

The plaque in front of the door was covered with cobwebs, and it had not been cleaned for some time. Mu Changting was not sure if there was anyone inside, so he knocked on the door tentatively and yelled twice, but no one answered.

It's true to think about it, the Qin family is now scattered all over the world, and Xing Yusheng spent a lot of time when he sent people to investigate. How could they still live here now

Mu Changting pushed open the door, and the dust flew all over the sky in an instant, making people cough.

He told Xing Yusheng to take a look separately, and walked around the house separately.

But no matter when Mu Changting turned his head, he always seemed to find that Xing Yusheng was within his line of sight, watching him so closely. I don't know if he did it on purpose

Mu Changting casually picked up a book on the bookcase and flipped through it. When he turned around, he saw white shadows flying in front of him.

He frowned, and before he took two steps to check it, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a sound coming from the front, but the picture was very blurry, and it seemed to be urging him to follow the sound and walk forward.

Xing Yusheng looked at Mu Changting with straight eyes, and looked forward without blinking, as if being controlled by something to move forward.

Xing Yusheng called his name, but Mu Changting couldn't hear him at all, and walked straight to the Fuzhong Garden before stopping.

Xing Yusheng looked solemn, stretched out his hand to grab Mu Changting's wrist, and was about to pull him away, when the two lights and shadows suddenly changed rapidly, and when they opened their eyes again, they were standing in the crowded Qin Mansion.

This place seems to be a memory of the past, many people come and go in the mansion, looking in a hurry.

When Mu Changting saw the little girl walking in with a plate of fruit and put it in the gazebo, he turned sideways to avoid it, but she walked faster and bumped into Mu Changting.

The expected collision did not come, and the little maid went straight through their bodies.

Mu Changting was stunned, then laughed: "It seems that we have fallen into other people's memories."

Xing Yusheng squinted his eyes, staring closely at the two pink and jade-carved children who were sitting in the corner of the gazebo, who were laughing and having fun. He whispered: "You didn't realize that these are a pair of twins."

Mu Changting nodded, and said with a smile, "Well, the one on the left should be my elder brother, and the one on the right is always given way."

The two children, about seven or eight years old, were having fun when a young servant walked over quickly and whispered into the ear of the boy on the left, "Master, please go to the alchemy room."

When the child heard this, his hands froze, and he seemed to suppress his fear, and said uncomfortably, "Do you know what foster father asked me for?"

The boy shook his head, straightened up and waited aside, with an indifferent expression.

The child took a deep breath and was about to stand up, but another child grabbed him, and his already pale face was even more bloodless now: "Brother!"

The child patted his head, smiled and comforted him: "It's okay, I'll be back soon."

The child asked the servant to take good care of his sick brother, then got up and walked towards the alchemy room.

Mu Changting and Xing Yusheng looked at each other, and they quickly followed.

The child stopped at the door of the alchemy room, knocked on the door anxiously, and a weak and hoarse voice sounded from inside: "Is it Fei Qiong? Come in."

Qin Feiqiong, is this Qin Feiqiong? Mu Changting opened his eyes curiously.

He called the head of the Qin family his adoptive father, so neither he nor his younger brother are the real Qin family.

When Qin Feiqiong walked into the house, the head of the Qin family was lowering his head and shaking the herbs on the table.

Mu Changting looked at his appearance, but at the age of twenty-four or five, his complexion had already shown the paleness of a dying person. It seemed that the rumors were true, and the patriarch should not live long.

Xing Yusheng suddenly said: "According to the time calculation, this person should be Qin Xuan, a well-known alchemist at that time."

Mu Changting was surprised and said, "It's that Qin Xuan who pursued the ultimate in life and claimed to refine the elixir of immortality, but ended up depressed?"

Xing Yusheng nodded and said in a low voice, "It should be him."

Xing Yusheng was born in an aristocratic family, so he knew a little about the secrets of this aristocratic family. At this time, he deduced the identity of the head of the Qin family, but Xing Yusheng had some bad thoughts in his heart.

Xing Yusheng's usual indifferent eyes fell on Qin Feiqiong, and suddenly he felt a sense of sympathy.

At this time, Qin Feiqiong was standing nervously at the door, not even daring to move into the house, and said in a pitiful whisper, "Father, what do you want me to do?"

Qin Xuan raised his head and glanced at him while fiddling with the medicinal materials, and then he threw all the medicinal materials into a wooden bucket behind the screen, and said in a normal way: "Come here, take off your clothes and go in and sit down."

Qin Feiqiong pressed against the door in fear, her feet were weak.

Qin Xuan looked back at him, and suddenly smiled coldly: "Why? How many times have you soaked in the potion, and you are still far from becoming a medicine man who is invulnerable to all poisons. When you asked me to save your brother, you said it so affectionately Sincerely, I am willing to dedicate everything, to be an ox and a horse, huh? How can I test medicine without a medicine man, how can I refine the elixir of immortality? Are you asking your adoptive father to be a short-lived ghost?" He suddenly shouted furiously, " Come here! Don't force me to catch you! If you don't obey me, the next medicine man will be your younger brother!"

Qin Feiqiong immediately said: "Father don't want it! I, I just obey."

Qin Feiqiong seemed to be very afraid of Qin Xuan, and took off his clothes in threes and fives, and he gritted his teeth tremblingly and climbed into the barrel. The wooden barrel was full of pitch-black potion, and when Qin Feiqiong dipped it in, she felt her skin was corroded, and every inch of her was crying out in pain.

Mu Changting's expression is unbearable, sometimes he really doesn't know why human nature can be so ugly and complicated.

Qin Xuan was obsessed with refining the immortality pill because he was afraid of death, and Qin Feiqiong unfortunately became a victim of his refining medicine, but this is still a child.

Mu Changting couldn't help but said, "Why did Qin Xuan choose him alone? He's so young."

Xing Yusheng shook his head and sighed lowly: "I heard that medicine masters have very high requirements on those who are refined. They must be physically strong and have the roots of martial arts. It is better to start refining from childhood, so it is easier to succeed."

Qin Feiqiong was sweating from the pain. In the scenes that Mu Changting and Xing Yusheng saw, such days would happen almost every other day.

In addition to refining medicine, Qin Feiqiong was forced to practice martial arts so that her body could become stronger and adapt to being a medicine man.

When he was taking care of his younger brother, it was the time when he had the most smiles on his face, but recently he always sneaked into a dog hole at the back door of the Qin residence in the middle of the night, chatting happily with people outside the outer wall.

Judging by the voice, the person outside should be a child who is slightly older than Qin Feiqiong. Qin Feiqiong called him "Brother Jun". This young man named "Brother Jun" seems to have known each other before Qin Feiqiong entered the Qin family.

"Brother Jun" has traveled a lot in all over the world, and he will always share with Qin Feiqiong where he has been and where he has been for a while, and what fate and so on.

Qin Feiqiong listened to these fresh stories with bright eyes, showing longing and longing.

But whenever "Brother Jun" asked him about his life here, he would just share with him the details of his relaxed and happy life, never mentioning his own plight, as if he was very afraid of embarrassing the people in front of him.

As time went by, the process of being a medicine man became more and more difficult. He was often so painful that his face turned pale and he couldn't even walk. He was very worried that if he continued like this, one day he would be unable to hold on and die here.

But if he died, there was no guarantee that Qin Xuan would not take his younger brother under the knife. This almost became the reason for Qin Feiqiong to persevere, and it also became the thing he was most afraid of.

On this day, he finally made up his mind and said to "Brother Jun", "I want you to take my brother out of here."
