"Master," Lu Shijin kept a polite smile on the corner of his mouth, "Do you think I look very stupid and easy to deceive?"
"Not at all." Zhou Xueyuan remained expressionless, "Why do you say that?"
"Then why do you think I'll fall twice in the same place, and you'll fall for me twice?" Lu Shijin struggled to pull out his hand and hid it behind his back, "Haven't you heard the story of the wolf coming?!"
"I know that you won't believe what I say now, and it's not your fault." Zhou Xueyuan's eyes were pale, neither sad nor happy, as if he didn't care about everything in the world, he paused for a while, and said, "But if it's really like you As I said, I am the same person as the demon leader Mu Cang, and I will never allow myself to become a half-human, half-devil monster. Therefore, you must help me."
"This can't be called a monster, can it?" Although Lu Shijin was annoyed that Zhou Xueyuan lied to him, he couldn't really watch him die. He got off the bed, straightened his clothes, and tried to persuade him, "Master, Mu Cang he It was transformed by your evil thoughts, but as long as you are a human being, you will have negative emotions, you should think about how to suppress him, not die with him."
Zhou Xueyuan looked at Lu Shijin coolly, "But I still don't believe what you said, Mu Cang and I are the same person."
Lu Shijin: "???" Dare he analyze and reason for so long, is it all in vain
Zhou Xueyuan lowered his head and smoothed down his sleeves, and said casually: "Mu Cang is insidious and cunning, so he won't show up easily, but right now he is most interested in you, and he will definitely come back to you, so I can only wrong my nephew to lead him to show up for me gone."
As soon as Zhou Xueyuan finished speaking, a golden rope flew out of his sleeve and rushed straight to Lu Shijin.
Before Lu Shijin could react, he was bound up and down three times with a golden rope to form a rice dumpling.
"Zhou Xueyuan! What are you doing!" Lu Shijin is also cultivated, and ordinary grass ropes can't trap him, but this golden rope seems to be growing on his body, no matter how hard he struggles, he can't break free. I untie it! Are you crazy?"
Zhou Xueyuan was indifferent to Lu Shijin's words, "Don't struggle in vain, this is a fairy rope, even if a fairy is tied up, it can't be untied without a unique formula."
Resistance is useless, Lu Shijin also calmed down: "What do you want to do?"
Zhou Xueyuan cast a cold glance at Lu Shijin, then flung his sleeves and left, leaving only a sentence "Wait for Mu Cang to find you".
Lu Shijin was so angry that he jumped up on the spot, chasing Zhou Xueyuan's back and jumped to the door, but Zhou Xueyuan closed the door mercilessly, and incidentally added a spell on it that prevented him from opening it.
Lu Shijin was cursing inside the door: "Zhou Xueyuan! You wait for me! You will regret it if you treat me like this!"
—
Lu Shijin scolded Zhou Xueyuan at the door for two hours in a row, which made his mouth parched and exhausted.
However, Zhou Xueyuan ignored him at all.
After Lu Shijin had finished typing out all the swear words he had known all his life, he was exhausted after swearing enough, so he walked towards the bed in small steps helplessly, lay down on the bed with difficulty and closed his eyes, waiting for an unknown fate to come.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Shijin woke up, and when he opened his eyes, it was already dark, and the room was pitch black.
Just as he was about to move his body, he felt a hand pressing quietly on his leg, and his brain almost screamed out of fright.
"who!"
"It's me." The man said in a hoarse voice.
He was wearing a black robe to blend in with the night, and his breathing was light and clear, so Lu Shijin didn't notice his existence the first time he woke up.
"Twilight?"
It couldn't be anyone else but him.
Now that Mu Cang has shown up, what about Zhou Xueyuan? What about Zhou Xueyuan who agreed to protect him? !
He was sold again, wasn't he!
"When did you come?" Lu Shijin calmed down and asked calmly.
"While you were sleeping." Mu Cang slid his hand along Lu Jinjin's legs to his waist, "Who tied you up like this?"
Lu Shijin opened his eyes and said nonsense: "I tied it myself. I guessed that you were coming and wanted to play some new tricks with you. Do you like it?"
"Interesting." Mu Cang snorted, and his voice seemed to be in a good mood, "It seems that you have fallen in love with this master, right? You also use this method to please me. It happened that the Japanese seat also found a copy Let’s practice the double cultivation method with you little fox.”
Ghosts want to please you!
Lu Shijin smiled perfunctorily, and suddenly said, "Well, don't you think it's a bit dark? How about turning on the lights and we can practice before it's too late?"
Mu Cang thought about it, and thought it was right, he couldn't see the expression on Lu Shijin's face when he and him were in the dark, and it was a little less fun.
Mu Cang raised his hand and flicked his sleeves, a row of candles were lit in the thatched cottage, and the candlelight illuminated the room like daytime.
"Little fox, do you think your injury has healed in the past two days?" Mu Cang asked, looking at Lu Shijin's face.
Lu Shijin rolled his eyes, lay there and nodded with difficulty, "It seems to be better."
"That's right, your physique is a rare innate pure yin body, and the kung fu practiced by this seat belongs to the most yang, which is just complementary to you." Mu Cang raised his hand and pinched Lu Shijin's face, slightly curling his lips Jiao, "I will take you back to the Demon Realm when I finish my work. As long as you are obedient, I will never treat you badly."
Lu Shijin has been staring at Mu Cang's hand touching him, and his gaze moves with Mu Cang's movements, but Mu Cang's wrist is covered by the cuff, so he can't see if there is a red string on it.
Mu Cang: "Are you going to untie this fairy rope yourself or let it continue to tie it?"
Lu Shijin's sorrow comes from it, I want to untie it myself, but I have to have this ability!
Mu Cang said again: "Actually, it's not bad to continue to be tied up. It's also very fresh to play a different trick once in a while, but you have to suffer a little bit."
"Don't, don't, don't!" Lu Shijin quickly swayed his body from side to side, so that Mu Cang could see his resisting attitude, and he said in a hurry, "The reason why I tied myself up is to let you untie it with your own hands, don't you think , is this like unwrapping a present?"
"Unwrap the gift?" Mu Cang raised his eyebrows, and he dared not agree, "But I don't know the formula to untie your fairy rope, how can I help you untie it?"
"You know, you must know! Think about it carefully!" Lu Shijin said persuasively.
Mu Cang was puzzled for a moment, touched the fairy rope on Lu Shijin's body with his fingers, and closed his lips to read a few words silently, and something unexpected happened to him—the fairy rope really came loose!
Mu Cang untied the rope that bound the fairy, and he couldn't believe it, and looked at Lu Shijin in surprise and doubt.
Lu Shijin, who finally got his freedom, can't control this much.
He got up quickly and grabbed Mu Cang's hand, rolled up the sleeve, and clearly saw a red rope wrapped around Mu Cang's wrist, which was exactly the same as his wrist!
It really is you! Son of a bitch!
Lu Shijin raised his head and gave the inexplicable Mu Cang a hateful look, then lowered his head and bit Mu Cang's wrist forcefully, the sharp canine teeth broke the skin on the wrist, and the bloody smell quickly permeated his mouth.
But Lu Shijin still wasn't relieved, how willing he was to be teased like this, he insisted on biting off a piece of meat to vent his anger!
"What are you doing? Presumptuous!"
Mu Cang forcefully withdrew his hand from Lu Shijin's mouth, the little fox dared to bite him, relying on his favor, he dared to be lawless, right
A layer of frost formed on Mu Cang's face, he grabbed Lu Shijin's collar, and brought him in front of him, "Who gave you the guts to bite me? Don't think that you can do whatever you want because I dote on you now. Annoyed me, believe it or not..."
Lu Shijin spat on his face unconvinced, and interrupted Mu Cang's threat: "Hey, who cares about your favor! Bastard, big pig's hooves, get the hell out of here! I don't want to see you again!"
Mu Cang frowned, obviously the little fox was fine just now, why did he bite and scold at him as soon as the fairy rope was untied
Mu Cang once wondered if Lu Shijin was bewitched.
"Are you okay?" Mu Cang hesitated for a moment, then held Lu Shijin's wrist with his backhand, placed it on his pulse gate to diagnose Lu Shijin's pulse, the true energy flowed smoothly, and it didn't seem like he was insane, so why did he suddenly Change in words and deeds
"Of course I'm fine! It's you who has something to do! Are you still pretending?" Lu Shijin pushed and kicked Mu Cang, "Playing a double-sided game with me, right? Is it fun to tease me?!#%￥#%￥ …”
Mu Cang's mouth was tightly pursed, and he listened patiently to Lu Shijin's obscene words for a while, and couldn't bear it any longer, so he stood up and shouted angrily, "Enough! I see that you have lost your mind!"
"You are insane! You are epileptic and insane! You are mentally ill!" Lu Shijin got up from the bed, grabbed the fairy rope on the bed and stuffed it into Mu Cang's hands, "You are not insane, what are you? You Don’t you remember? You tied me up with this broken rope, and you’re still playing tricks on me?”
"Nonsense! When did I tie you up with a rope?" Mu Cang denied it with a grim expression.
"You still don't admit it?" Lu Shijin grabbed Mu Cang's arm, rolled up his sleeve, and held it up to his eyes, "Look for yourself, what is this?!"
"What is this? Why is there a red rope tied to my hand?" Mu Cang frowned deeply, his expression looked very puzzled, if it wasn't for his great acting skills, then he really didn't know.
But Lu Shijin had already been fooled by him twice, and decided that Zhou Xueyuan or Mu Cang was playing tricks on him. He sneered and said, "Still pretending? You tied this red rope yourself, and you tied another one for me. You forgot in the blink of an eye? You said you, if you want to pretend to be two people, you also pretend to be a little bit, such a big flaw, what else do you have to explain!"
Mu Cang: "..." Why can't he understand a single word that the little fox said
"Zhou Xueyuan, if you pretend again, it's really boring." Lu Shijin put his arms around his chest and looked at him with a sneer, "Okay, I admit, your play is good, even I was fooled by you, and fell in love with you both." It's time. Tell me, is it the first time you saw me, and you wanted to sleep with me? It seems that you are too good at cultivating the way of forgetting love. "
Mu Cang: "...what is your name?"
"Zhou Xueyuan," Lu Shijin raised his eyebrows and pushed him, "Don't think I won't recognize you if you change the color of your clothes!"
"It's ridiculous, how could this seat be Zhou Xueyuan!" Mu Cang flicked his sleeves, anger gathered between his brows.
"Then explain why you two look the same?" Lu Shijin asked.
Mu Cang snorted coldly: "The world is so big, there are no surprises, even if two people look the same, what's so strange?"
Lu Shijin heard something strange, and dared not say anything: "So you already knew that you and Zhou Xueyuan looked the same?"
"Yes." Mu Cang admitted frankly, and raised his head proudly, "Someone once mistook me for him, and I knew that Zhou Xueyuan and I looked alike. I also heard rumors that Zhou Xueyuan cut himself off thirty years ago. evil thoughts, and my birthday happens to be at that time, so I deduce that this seat is transformed by Zhou Xueyuan's evil thoughts."
Lu Shijin lowered his head and thought for a while, no wonder he was not surprised when he broke into Mu Cang's mustard seed space for the first time and mistook him for Zhou Xueyuan, because he knew that he and Zhou Xueyuan looked the same.
And Zhou Xueyuan hid from the world in Lianhua Peak, and didn't go out for a period of sixty years, so no one told him that Mu Cang looked alike to him, so he didn't know.
"Then what do you want to do on the Lotus Peak?" Lu Shijin began to feel uneasy.
Mu Cang pursed his lips coldly, the air pressure around his body suddenly dropped, the candles in the room were flickered by the gusts of wind that came from nowhere, and the room fell into a strange atmosphere.
"Zhou Xueyuan wanted to cultivate Dao, so he abandoned me, but if he can cultivate Daoguo, why can't I?" Mu Cang raised his chin with his sleeves behind his back, "There is only one Zhou Xueyuan in this world."
Lu Shijin had some eyebrows in his mind, opened his eyes slightly, and said in disbelief: "You came to Lotus Peak to kill him?"
"That's right!" Mu Cang said coldly, "As long as Zhou Xueyuan is killed, I can replace him, but I haven't met Zhou Xueyuan since I came here for a long time, otherwise, he would have been killed by me a long time ago." Yes, he must have known in advance that this seat would come looking for him, so he was afraid of this seat and deliberately avoided seeing him! Heh, the number one person on the righteous way, according to this seat, is nothing more than that."
Lu Shijin: "... Brother, have you ever thought about a question
Mu Cang looked at him sideways, "What?"
"The reason why you can't find Zhou Xueyuan's people is actually because," Lu Shijin's Adam's apple twitched, "You and him... are basically the same person?"
Mu Cang's eyebrows twitched as if he was thinking, and his expression became very subtle in an instant.
"Actually, Zhou Xueyuan is also looking for you, but just like you, he can't find you."
Lu Shijin took out a teapot and two teacups from his storage bag, and poured a glass of water for himself and Mu Cang. He drank the water first to moisten his throat after a day.
Then he continued: "He also tied me here today, the purpose is to lure you to show up, and then deal with you, but you see now, he didn't show up at all, and you are the only one who came. And the one on your wrist He also tied the red rope, so I can recognize him."
Mu Cang looked down at his wrist, he really didn't remember when such a red string was tied around his wrist.
Is it true that as the little fox said, he is Zhou Xueyuan, and Zhou Xueyuan is him
How can this be? !
Lu Shijin said helplessly: "You still don't believe it? Don't you think about it, why you will never see Zhou Xueyuan? And do you only appear at night? Never show up during the day?"
Mu Cang's face was pale, and he could faintly see his facial muscles trembling, "That's my habit... I don't like daylight, can't I?"
Lu Shijin was a little dumbfounded. After a long time, it turned out that these two people, oh no, it should be said that they were the same person. The main personality and the secondary personality didn't know the existence of the other, and they both thought they were an independent individual.
Then, the two personalities wanted to kill each other, but they couldn't find anyone.
After cultivating the path of ruthlessness, you have already cultivated into a fine point, what the hell is this called
"What is the truth, I've already told you. If you still don't believe me, then you can continue to look for Zhou Xueyuan at Lianhua Peak, but even if you spend your whole life looking for Zhou Xueyuan, you won't be able to find it. Do you understand?" Cang's last bit of luck.
Mu Cang staggered, and fell down on the bed, seemingly unable to accept this fact.
For the first time, the majestic Demon Realm Venerable showed a look of helplessness that no one had ever seen before.
When Lu Shijin saw him, he couldn't bear it, so he walked over to comfort him and said, "Don't be too sad, there's nothing wrong with being alone, just treat it as, let's treat it as a strong team. Same, right?"
"It's different! How could it be the same!" Mu Cang stared at Lu Shijin sharply, and suddenly asked, "Zhou Xueyuan tied you here to let you deal with me, right?"
The matter has come to this point, there is no need to help Zhou Xueyuan cover up, Lu Shijin pursed the corners of his mouth and nodded in admission.
"But why didn't you do it?" Mu Cang asked.
Lu Shijin spread his hands, "Because I later confirmed that you are him, of course it is impossible to do anything again."
Mu Cang pulled his lower lip slightly, and a sneer that gave people goosebumps appeared on his lips.
"So he trusts you." Mu Cang said with a dark tone and dark eyes.
"It should be regarded as trust." Lu Shijin blinked, always feeling that there was a deep meaning in Mu Cang's words, "What's wrong? Why are you asking that?"
Mu Cang suddenly stretched out his hands to hold Lu Shijin's shoulders, his eyes flickered with crazy paranoia: "Then help me get rid of him!"
Lu Shijin: "???"
He thought he had heard it wrong, and shook his head, "Aren't you mistaken? Get rid of him? That means getting rid of yourself, you two are the same person!"
Mu Cang: "I know, but as long as Zhou Xueyuan dies, this body will be mine."
Lu Shijin frowned, and asked incredulously, "Are you sure? Can it still be like this?"
Mu Cang said excitedly: "There is a story recorded in ancient books, once a scholar surnamed Li fell into the water, he was not breathing when he was rescued, his family thought he was dead, and when he was put into the coffin for burial, there was a rumor in the coffin. When the sound came, the family hurriedly opened the coffin, and Li Sheng came back to life! The strange thing is, Li Sheng did not admit that he was Li Sheng, but claimed that he was a farmer thousands of miles away from the local area. The family thought he was killed The water ghost was possessed, but countless Taoist priests were invited to exorcise the ghosts, but nothing worked. One day, a very capable alchemist wandered here. The family asked the alchemist to come to check on Li Sheng's situation, but the alchemist said that Li Sheng was not When encountering ghosts and evil spirits, Li Sheng already had two consciousnesses in his body. Li Sheng fell into the water and thought he was dead, so the consciousness belonging to Li Sheng fell asleep forever, giving another consciousness a chance to occupy the body. In fact, Li Sheng is The farmer, the farmer is Li Sheng."
After Lu Shijin heard this weird story, a chill ran down his back, and he seemed to understand what Mu Cang meant.
Mu Cang wanted him to assassinate Zhou Xueyuan, so that Zhou Xueyuan would mistakenly think that he was dead, and Zhou Xueyuan's consciousness would go dormant.
"Do you understand?" Mu Cang grabbed Lu Shijin's shoulder and shook it.
Lu Shijin shook his head: "No, no, this is too absurd. Legends are just legends. If you kill Zhou Xueyuan, you will die too? Besides, Zhou Xueyuan is my uncle, why should I kill him?"
"Then can you help Zhou Xueyuan kill me?" Mu Cang's eyes turned cold, making people shudder.
"I didn't intend to kill you either." Lu Shijin's voice dropped because of his guilty conscience.
After seeing through Lu Shijin's lies, Mu Cang sneered, let go of his shoulders, and threw up his sleeves, "Don't forget, you are already the furnace of this seat, and this seat has already branded you. If this seat If you don’t double cultivate with you within three days, you will die from exhaustion of energy and blood.”
Every monk will put a spell into his own exclusive furnace body, on the one hand, it is to make the furnace utterly devoted to him, and on the other hand, it is also to make the furnace better please himself.
Therefore, the matter of raising furnaces is despised by righteous people, and it is more common in evil cultivators and demon cultivators.
Lu Shijin: "???"
Is this person crazy? !
Fuck, you two want to play the trick of me killing myself, why are you picking me up!
I am innocent!
"I will not be lucky enough for you today. You have two days left. If after two days, Zhou Xueyuan is still alive, you can decide for yourself."
Mu Cang left the last sentence and walked out of the hut, leaving Lu Shijin dumbfounded on the spot.
God, who can tell him why he got stuck in such a weirdly developing plot
"What should I do if my husband is a genius? "
"My Husband Says "I Kill Myself" Every Day"
"My husband forced me to kill him"
"If I don't have sex with my husband, I will die"
"If I Don't Kill My Husband, I Will Die"
...
Lu · Weak and innocent · Bottom cultivator · Can't beat the boss · Today: It's too difficult for me.
—
On the second day, Lu Shijin took advantage of Lin Junchen's going out to practice, and took the initiative to go to Zhou Xueyuan's cottage to find someone.
And Zhou Xueyuan was sitting on the futon, raising his wrist, staring at a blood-stained tooth mark on his wrist in a daze.
No need to ask, he must have forgotten how the tooth marks on his hand came from.
"Master, you are back." Lu Shijin greeted him expressionlessly, "Mu Cang came last night, why did you disappear again?"
Zhou Xueyuan put down his hands and hid his wrists in his sleeves. He just opened his mouth and said "I" when he was interrupted by Lu Shijin.
"Okay, okay, you don't need to make excuses for yourself anymore, let's start with the tooth marks on your wrist," Lu Shijin sat cross-legged on the futon opposite Zhou Xueyuan, and pointed to Zhou Xueyuan's sleeve , pointing to himself again, "Well, I bit it, but the person I bit last night was Mu Cang, but today the tooth marks appeared on your hand. And I also tested it, last night Mu Cang had a tooth mark on your hand. The red string, so you two are indeed the same person, as if you were fake."
Zhou Xueyuan's complexion changed drastically: "I..."
Lu Shijin waved his hands with an impatient expression, "Don't talk, listen to me, I know this truth is hard for you to accept, but now there is a more important matter in front of us, which needs to be resolved. "
Zhou Xueyuan coughed lightly, "What?"
Lu Shijin: "Mu Cang asked me to kill you."
Zhou Xueyuan: "..."
Lu Shijin rolled his eyelids: "Don't worry, I didn't intend to kill you."
Zhou Xueyuan's face hadn't eased yet, Lu Shijin added: "But I will die if I don't kill you."
Zhou Xueyuan coughed again, as if he was irritated by Lu Shijin's half-spoken words.
Lu Shijin said: "I am now Mu Cang's cauldron. If I don't listen to him, as long as he doesn't double cultivate with me within three days, I will die. So uncle, what do you think?"
