Yu Qiu threw off the quilt abruptly, threw herself on the desk, grabbed a pen and paper, and began to write furiously, forgetting to sleep.
After finishing writing a page, he frowned and read it carefully twice, then clicked his tongue lightly, threw it aside in dissatisfaction, and started to write another page from the beginning. After writing down page after page, it turned out that enough was discarded in the end. There are seven or eight out of ten. In fact, even those that have not been directly discarded may not stand the test of facts, and it would be good if only one-tenth of the last ones are usable.
But Yu Qiu was not in a hurry.
A brand new idea is just an idea, and it takes countless failures to turn an idea into reality.
However, after several hours of hard writing, the forgotten drowsiness finally came to him, and Yu Qiu fell asleep directly at his desk.
In the early morning of the next day, when the sky had just turned pale, the group of Xuanyang Sect disciples who had searched all night but found nothing suddenly came to make room rounds, causing the entire trial cultivator residence to be noisy.
When Yu Qiu was woken up, his head hurt.
He scratched his head, glanced at the few pages full of paper that he worked on yesterday, and wanted to organize them carefully, but someone knocked on his door.
Yu Qiu opened the door and looked. It was a coincidence that the person standing outside the room happened to be Xu Hong.
Xu Hong was not very interested in doing such troublesome things early in the morning, but he still maintained that unmistakable smile on his face. Only when he saw Yu Qiu for the first time, he paused abruptly.
Yu Qiu followed his gaze and looked at himself.
Well, the clothes are too casual, and there are a lot of hickey marks exposed.
Xu Hongmo read the words "Do not look at evil", glanced over silently, and explained the purpose of coming with a little embarrassment, "I'm sorry, because there are demon cultivators in Xuanyang Mountain, we need to search your room."
Yu Qiu's head was still hurting, so he retracted his neckline casually, nodded, and gave way to the door in a very understanding manner.
Holding up his sword, Xu Hong used the gems on the hilt to sweep around the room, not even under the bed, completing this task that he didn't really like with a serious attitude. Task.
Yu Qiu's eyes fell on Xu Hong's back, and he couldn't help but let out a secret sigh.
It's been a long time since such a senior brother.
Xu Hongyu searched for a while in Qiu's room, but of course he found nothing in the end, smiled apologetically at Yu Qiu, and planned to leave. But before he left, there was one thing that he was very concerned about, so much that he had to bite the bullet and ask, "Yesterday afternoon... is Junior Brother Xiao in your room?"
Yu Qiu was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a vigilant look, "Why do you ask this?"
"That's it..." Xu Hong looked at the sky and muttered, and finally left Yu Qiu's room.
Yu Qiu continued to watch him warily.
Until Xu Hong walked to the room diagonally opposite, he also knocked on the door.
Yu Qiu remembered who lived in this room, and thought that no one would respond to it now.
The result was unexpectedly that after only a moment, the door of that room was opened from the inside, and a person Yu Qiu thought he would never see easily—Gao Conghan walked out.
Yu Qiu was shocked.
Xu Hong was naturally only more astonished. He jumped back instantly, wiped out the sword on his waist, laid it across in front of him, gritted his teeth and looked at the other party, "You!"
Gao Conghan looked at him calmly, "What about me?"
Xu Hong looked at the dim gemstone on the hilt that was still like a stubborn stone, and was a little dazed.
"Fellow Taoist, what are you trying to do by pointing your sword at me?" Gao Conghan put his hands on his chest, showing dissatisfaction openly, "I don't seem to have committed anything?"
"You..." Xu Hong was clearly confused about the situation. He happened to bump into Gao Conghan yesterday, and he remembered this person's face very clearly, but the unresponsive gemstone in his hand made him wonder whether his memory had a problem.
After a long while, Xu Hong finally gritted his teeth and said, "You are a demon cultivator!"
"Demon cultivator? Are you kidding me!" Gao Conghan raised his eyebrows and sneered, "You actually said that I am a demon cultivator... What evidence do you have to prove that I am a demon cultivator?"
Xu Hong remained silent for a long while.
"Look," Gao Conghan continued to sneer, "Since you have no evidence, shouldn't you apologize to me?"
Yu Qiu watched from behind, and couldn't help but wipe off Gao Conghan's audacity.
Xu Hong squinted his eyes and looked Gao Conghan up and down for a while, then looked again at the gemstone on the hilt in his hand. After a while, he took a step back, put the sword back to his waist, and said with a slight smile, "Okay , I must have read it wrong."
Anyway... The point of this matter is not whether he really believes that he is wrong, but how he can convince others that he is indeed right.
After taking this step back, Xu Hong routinely searched Gao Cong's cold room, but he still couldn't find anything. Then he said goodbye to Gao Conghan with a smile, and walked towards Yuqiu again.
Yu Qiu narrowed his eyes with interest, but Gao Conghan's expression changed.
When Xu Hong bumped into Gao Conghan yesterday, he naturally also saw Yu Qiu who was there. It stands to reason that he should have asked Yu Qiu a long time ago, but perhaps because of the conceit of the Xuanjian sect, he didn't realize that he needed other witnesses to find a demon cultivator. Fortunately, it is not too late now.
"This junior," Xu Hong asked standing in front of Yu Qiu, "about what happened at noon yesterday, we..."
Yu Qiu was still considering whether to confess Gao Conghan directly, but Xu Hong suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking. I saw the magic gemstone on his sword hilt that had been silent all night suddenly lit up, and at the same time, each of the other Xuanyang sect members here also had a gemstone that started to flicker continuously.
"Magic repair!"
"It's that magician!"
"The devil has appeared!"
In an instant, there were exclamations one after another.
All the disciples of Xuanyang Sect flew towards the same direction.
Xu Hong was still in a daze at first, but after the captain of the Demon Killing Team gave him a dissatisfied look, he could only sigh secretly and followed.
The originally noisy residence of the trial monks suddenly became quiet again.
Gao Conghan walked towards Yu Qiu.
Yu Qiu lifted the storage bag at his waist.
Gao Conghan had no choice but to stop, and looked at him silently with those eyes.
Yu Qiu took a closer look at those eyes, um, they are dark now. He took off the storage bag from his waist, wrapped it around his hands, and then retreated into the room, leaving only one sentence, "Don't come within three feet of me."
Gao Conghan hesitated outside for only a moment, then followed closely.
As soon as he came in, Gao Conghan closed the door of Yuqiu's room tightly, and Yu Qiu also cooperatively slapped a soundproof note on the wall.
"Yu Qiu..." After closing the door, Gao Conghan walked over quickly, looking impatient.
Yu Qiu looked down at his toes silently.
Five feet, four feet, three feet, a wall of ice hit him head-on.
Gao Conghan stopped, gritted his teeth and touched the big bump on his forehead.
"Three feet away." Yu Qiu reminded.
"I..." Gao Cong was so cold that his face was blue, and he raised his foot fiercely again.
Yu Qiu took out a talisman and held it in his hand.
So Gao Conghan didn't continue to step forward with that foot in the end, but took a step back silently, "You are cruel!"
"Where is there." Yu Qiu raised a hand, letting him look at the back of his hand, reminding him of what happened yesterday, "It's just a necessary vigilance."
Then Yu Qiu stopped paying attention to his expression and asked directly, "What's going on?"
The muscles on Gao Conghan's face twitched for a long time, before he finally gritted his teeth, "You can do me a favor."
"Why help you?" Yu Qiu asked, "Are we familiar?"
Gao Conghan paused.
"You tell me what's going on first, and then I can decide whether I want to help you or not." Yu Qiu said, "And you'd better hurry up. Your... magic envoy? Or a magic puppet? In short, lure them away." That stuff, probably won’t last long. Those people will be back soon.”
Gao Conghan gritted his teeth for a while, then sighed.
"Yesterday... I'm really sorry." Gao Conghan finally chose to start from the conflict yesterday, "I wanted to get along with you slowly, like yesterday... I really didn't mean it."
"Oh." Yu Qiu nodded, waiting for him to continue.
Gao Conghan looked at him, "Are you willing to believe it?"
"It depends on what you say next."
"Okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything." Gao Conghan sighed, "I can't have too much emotional ups and downs. Once I fall into some kind of impulse, I can't control my behavior. It was like this yesterday, If I could still control myself, I would never do that to you."
"Aren't you irritable every day?" Yu Qiu smiled.
Gao Cong gave him a cold look, "That's what you thought!"
In fact, Gao Conghan has been trying to control his emotions all the time... ever since he fell into that cave.
What Gao Conghan told later was an old-fashioned story.
An orphan who had no father or mother since he was a child, was bullied and grew up, and later he suffered so much that he escaped from the original host family and the town where he had been living, and was trapped in the deep mountains and old forests. Survival seems to be a luxury. He was chased by a wild beast and rolled down the cliff. When he was desperate, he fell all the way into that cave. There is a corpse in the cave, and a parcel left beside the corpse.
Gao Conghan still does not know who the skeleton is, but this does not prevent him from understanding the value of the relics in the package at a glance, and he is convinced that this adventure is enough to change his life.
Indeed, his life was changed by it.
Inside the package is a book of exercises, a book of practice experience, and some spiritual stones. The exercises let him step into the door of the road of self-cultivation, his experience made him walk on this road smoother than most casual cultivators, and the spirit stone made him a little rich man from the very beginning.
But it didn't take long for Gao Conghan to discover that all this was not as beautiful as it seemed.
That turned out to be a magic skill.
"And it won't be ordinary magic skills." Yu Qiu said, "Ninety-nine percent of magic skills can't make a monk return to a normal person after being enchanted."
If it weren't for this, the Xuanyang sect would not be so obsessed with the magic gems, and Xu Hong would not be so easily stumped.
"Perhaps." Gao Conghan smiled wryly, "After the first 'obsession', it took me a long time to learn how to avoid it, and I succeeded for a long time. Now I am less obsessed than before. A lot, it was just like that once in two whole years, that's why I dared to get involved with the Xuanyang Sect. But... although the number of times has decreased a lot, it's actually easier than before."
If it was said that he only became possessed when his mood swings exceeded ninety at the beginning, but now he can't even exceed thirty. Even if he can maintain his mood swings at around 20 in most cases, it is not a long-term solution.
"Now, besides me, you are the only one who still knows about this." Gao Conghan gritted his teeth and said, "I have told you everything, and only you! So you have to help me..."
"No, that's not why I have to help you." Yu Qiu narrowed his eyes, raised his hand again, and showed him the back of his hand, "Although you said you didn't mean it, I'm sorry, I didn't Such a magnanimous man."
Well, first a reward, and then a compensation... Yu Qiu was thinking in his heart. Anyway, this guy in front of him is very rich, so when will he wait if he doesn't cheat at this time.
Gao Conghan stared at Yu Qiu for a while, and then took out his flying blade.
Yu Qiu gripped the talisman tightly.
Gao Conghan did not attack him, but put his right hand flat on the table, turned the flying blade upside down with his left hand, with the handle facing down, and hammered hard on one of his knuckles.
The knuckles made a jaw-dropping sound, but Gao Conghan didn't change his face, "I won't force you to forgive me, and I'm not the kind of person who doesn't want to pay for my mistakes."
Yu Qiu: "..."
Gao Conghan quickly raised the handle of the knife again, and smashed his other knuckle again.
Yu Qiu silently handed over a rejuvenation talisman, "Don't be so cruel...let's have a good talk."
