Chapter 21 Which adult doesn’t have a casual romance? “Look at me…
"Look at me... Please, look at me. "
There were thunder and lightning outside the tent, strong winds and heavy rain. Just by listening to the sound, one could feel the horror of the power of nature.
It was late autumn, and there shouldn't be such thunderstorms. Moreover, this thunder was not normal thunder, but very strange
. It reminded people of the day when a bowl-sized thunderbolt came down and struck a certain "big monster" on the head. If the gods violated the rules of heaven, there would be warnings from heaven. If the warnings were not heeded, heaven would punish them.
However, Langfeng Pavilion had been abandoned, and no matter the warnings or heavenly punishments, they were all in vain. In his ears, there were only panting sounds with crying voices, and begging.
He kept asking him to look at him, and Gao Chaoshi stared at his eyes and shed tears, as if he was very happy, but also as if he was unwilling. Chu Yan didn't understand, and couldn't tell for a moment whether he liked or hated it.
But Chu Yan really liked this moment, he thought, It turns out that this is what it feels like to have your possessiveness satisfied.
Xi Che looked at the swaying shadows of the trees above the tent, and his mind would always involuntarily have some disturbing images: seeing two branches entangled was like seeing two entangled figures; seeing the tent swaying like water waves in the wind, he thought of his chest rising and falling due to rapid breathing...
Xi Che suddenly raised his hands to cover his ears, buried his face in the pillow, and tried to deceive himself to escape reality.
He couldn't treat it as a dream.
This state had actually lasted for a long time, Many times he wanted to sleep but couldn't feel sleepy at all. Xi Che just felt his heart was in a mess and very lost. It's not that he blamed Chu Qi, but in the process he sometimes felt that he was somewhat similar to Chu Yan.
Especially his eyes.
I believe Chu Qi also noticed this. Xi Che stared at his eyes and asked him if he thought of someone.
Xi Che took a deep breath. This was probably the highest level of self-deception. He could associate two people together in this way.
Of course, he is so old and doesn't have a strong concept of chastity. He won't do anything if he slept with a stranger because of an accident, nor will he want to jump into a well just because he slept with someone who is not Chu Yan.
He just felt unhappy.
"But didn't you have a great time last night? "
After a whole night of "treatment", I finally got in touch with the white tiger. I didn't expect that the first sentence he said to me was this.
Xi Che tried his luck and warned himself not to bother with a beast.
But the white tiger refused to give in and appeared beside Xi Che in the image of a tiger: "I've said it, he is much better than the one in the sky. At least he can help you solve your physiological problems when you are in estrus. "
He is very proud now. Only one night has passed, and the white tiger has grown a lot compared to its previous appearance as a kitten. Now the whole body of the white tiger is as long as the forearm of an adult. The voice is no longer like that of a child. The thin black hair on the forehead has gradually revealed the word "king", which vaguely shows the style of a king. How to describe it... A cub is also a tiger. He used to look like a kitten, but now he finally looks like a "tiger".
Although he can only be regarded as a little tiger.
Xi Che stared at him for a long time, reached out to stroke his hair and rub his ears: "What's wrong with you? "
The white tiger obediently let him knead it and licked its paws: "It's the ability of a succubus, didn't you take the essence of that big monster last night? "
...
You are the one who is doing the essence-collecting. Your whole family is doing the essence-collecting!
Xi Che frowned and said, "It's obviously because he transferred spiritual power to me, and it was absorbed by my body that you became like this. It has nothing to do with the fact that we slept together. "
But Baihu said: "But this is indeed the ability of the succubus. How do you know that she didn't take his essence? "
Xi Che couldn't argue with him, so he simply closed his eyes and ignored him. Bai Hu only knew how to bicker with him all day long. If he really went toe-to-toe with him, he would have been pissed off long ago.
But Xi Che actually had his doubts about this. Last night, during that process... he did feel pleasure beyond the physical level.
Maybe he really absorbed Chu Qi's cultivation into his own by accident.
Besides, in a world with spiritual power, cultivation is more precious than real gold and silver. Regardless of whether he obtained Chu Qi's cultivation through the method of collecting and replenishing, he did get it.
Xi Che was speechless now.
Just as he was regretting, he felt a dull pain in his forearm. Xi Che looked down at his arm in confusion and found that it was covered with bruises and purple spots. He knew that there were such marks on other parts of his body. It would be strange if Chu Qi was so strong. Xi Che silently pulled the quilt tightly, covering himself tightly, out of sight, out of mind.
Suddenly, someone unzipped the tent, lifted the door curtain and walked in. Xi Che glanced at the entrance and met Chu Yan's eyes. The latter's always cold face showed a faint smile for the first time: "You're awake. "
Xi Che was hiding under the quilt, feeling autistic. He didn't know what expression to use to face him, so he curled up there and didn't move.
Chu Yan didn't care about these details. He walked into the tent and closed the zipper of the entrance: "Are you hungry? Eat something. "
Only then did Xi Che notice that he was holding two plastic lunch boxes in his hands, the same kind of lunch boxes that the villagers used to deliver meals to them. Judging from his dusty appearance, he must have gone into the village early in the morning to get
the food. Xi Che frowned and said nothing, while Bai Hu pretended to comment, "Wow, what thoughtful food. If you want to replenish your body in the future, look for this kind of person. " "
……roll. "
Bai Hu might have said this on purpose, which made him feel even more sorry for Chu Qi. But Xi Che was a man who cared about his reputation. Even though he guessed Bai Hu's trick, he still couldn't help but be fooled. Xi Che got up and said "thank you" in an awkward voice.
Chu Yan was happy to see that he was willing to pay attention to him. He took his lunch box and sat next to Xi Che. He also knew that in the situation last night, he was indeed suspected of taking advantage of others, which made him unhappy. However, Chu Yan did not regret it privately. This opportunity was fleeting. If he couldn't get his heart, he could get his body - oh, it couldn't be considered a body. He was not his original body now. He was such a failure.
But at least on the surface, his excuse was fair and square.
The aroma of food wafted over, and Xi Che's His stomach started to growl. He was indeed hungry. He had been running outside all night yesterday. He fell into a land of bones and was attacked by the necromancy. He had digested the roasted rabbit long ago. So he stopped being polite and picked up the lunch box to eat the porridge.
Chu Yan sat next to Xi Che and watched him. He didn't need to eat. He just watched him eat.
It was quite interesting to just watch him.
When Xi Che lowered his head to drink the porridge, a slender white neck was exposed. There were also some blue and red marks on it, which formed a sharp contrast with his fair skin. Chu Yan couldn't take his eyes away. Then the more he looked at him, the more he felt that his Asa was adorable. When he lowered his head to swallow, his Adam's apple slid up and down. It seemed that there was a naughty little monster hidden under his skin, which made people want to touch it...
"what you do? ”
Xi Che was eating when he suddenly felt that the person next to him seemed to be doing something. He turned his head reflexively and saw Chu Yan reaching out his hand towards him, as if trying to strangle him. Xi Che stared at him with a very stern expression, as if to say that if he dared to do anything wrong, he would definitely be beaten to death.
Chu Yan reacted very quickly, and lightly wiped the corner of his mouth with his finger as if nothing had happened: "Something got on it."
Xi Che resisted this ambiguous atmosphere and hid aside.
He was not stupid and knew what the man in front of him was thinking. He simply felt that if they slept together, their relationship would become unusual and closer than others, or in other words, he hoped that they would be closer than before.
It's just a dream.
Xi Che thought grimly, staring at Chu Yan with cold eyes - at most he would only feel grateful to this monster for absorbing his cultivation, and anything else was probably just him thinking too much.
However, some things are better to be said openly.
Xi Che tried hard to swallow the porridge in his mouth and looked at Chu Yan seriously: "I must make it clear to you, what happened last night... just pretend it never happened, and you are not allowed to leak a word to anyone. If I hear any gossip from other people, I will not forgive you."
He said this just to express his quick temper. Whether in terms of physical strength, stamina or cultivation, his current body is not as good as Chu Qigao. How could he have the ability to cause trouble for others. But he still had to make his attitude clear. He didn't want to argue with him because of what happened that night.
...Yes, he is a human being at heart, and a very open modern human being! It's just a fleeting romance, what's there to be fussy about? Even if he looks somewhat like Chu Yan, he's just a substitute at best. He had a terrible accident last night. It was like walking on the road at night and encountering ghosts. He was afraid that Chu Qi had some misunderstanding. If he kept pestering him, it would be too troublesome.
Chu Yan's face turned slightly cold when he heard this: "I know, you said you have someone in your heart."
Before Xi Che could nod his approval, Baihu jumped up and down, shaking his head and sighing: "Oh! Idiot, idiot, you know he has someone in his heart, but you don't know that the person in his heart doesn't have him! Why don't you go ahead! If you go ahead, you will be in the upper position!"
He had just tasted Chu Qi's skills, and he was so happy that he felt comfortable all over. He wished that Xi Che could fight with Chu Qi for another three hundred rounds so that he could regain his former glory as soon as possible.
The white tiger raised its front legs and rested on Xiche, muttering in his ear: "You are so immoral, you should be responsible for others. Listen to what you are saying, the child is so sad... you beast."
The white tiger sometimes whispered like a devil, calling a powerful monster "child"? He must be at least a thousand years old, what kind of kid is he...
Xi Che was very disdainful in his heart, but when he saw Chu Yan's expression, he felt that he was really a bit ruthless, so he tried to comfort him: "You should know that I am not an ordinary person, I am a succubus."
Chu Yan suddenly interrupted: "Me too."
"..." Not what? Not human?
Xi Che was choked for a moment, and continued: "But... you are a demon at least, and your strength is not weak. I am different from you, I am a succubus, the lowest level of demon! Don't you realize that your cultivation was suppressed by me... by me..."
He said "by me" for a long time and couldn't say those two words. He slapped his thigh in a hurry: "In short, succubus can't practice like you demons. They can only seize other people's cultivation in this way. Haven't you ever suspected that I actually have bad intentions towards you? You will not end well if you get close to me, understand?"
Chu Yan sneered disdainfully: "That little bit of cultivation."
The current Asa's cultivation is far different from his, and it can't even be simply described as the difference between heaven and earth. This time when he came down to the world, he also deliberately suppressed his cultivation, otherwise, I am afraid that the human world will not be able to accommodate him.
As long as Asa is willing, he can support him for the rest of his life.
His arrogance was written all over his eyes and eyebrows. Xi Che didn't know what to say. He stared at Chu Yan for a long time and made a helpless conclusion: "In short, we are not suitable to be together."
Chu Yan lowered his eyes and said nothing, but he knew in his heart that these were all his excuses.
Xi Che was at a loss for words, and Chu Yan didn't know what he was thinking, so the two of them fell silent. After a long time, Chu Yan suddenly asked, "Will you participate in the inheritance ceremony of the God of Bright Light?"
Xi Che didn't understand why he asked this, so he answered truthfully, "Yes. Most of the people who come to participate in the demon hunting operation want to become the inheritor of the God of Bright Light. I'm here now, how can I not participate."
Hearing this, Chu Yan's expression finally looked better: "Why do you want to participate?"
"Why...it doesn't hurt me."
He muttered to himself, but thought of the pain in his heart.
When he first learned about this, he just wanted to see what was wrong with Chu Yan that made him look for an heir. He is already the greatest god in the world, with numerous followers. How could he find a successor whose cultivation and divine nature can match his in such a short period of time? If you need it for an emergency, there's no need to do it so early.
Chu Yan, this bastard...
Xi Che couldn't help but add: "I must meet Mingzhao Shen."
Chu Yan was stunned and asked subconsciously: "What do you want to see him for?"
Xi Che suddenly came to his senses and looked away with an unfriendly face: "This is none of your business."
Chu Yan was used to his attitude towards him, but when he heard Xi Che say in person that he wanted to see him, he was happy in his heart. He said: "I must go."
Xi Che ignored him.
It's really incomprehensible. What does it have to do with him whether I go or not?
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside. Xi Che immediately looked towards the door vigilantly. It was still stormy outside, but more obvious than the sound of wind and rain were screams and cries, and those sounds were getting closer and closer to the tent.
Xi Che hurriedly put down the lunch box in his hand and walked out of the tent, and Chu Yan immediately followed.
In Chu Yan's eyes, his Asa is now like a fragile bumper car. Although it is not very strong, it always likes to rush around. He must follow him.
There is a phrase called "a person with a strong addiction to being a bad player", which is very suitable to describe him now.
The two men walked out of the tent one after the other. The cold raindrops fell so densely that it was impossible to open their eyes. But the human students were very energetic. Most of them were screaming and running for their lives. A small number of them were brave enough to stop and chant spells. They chopped off the heads of several obviously abnormal humanoid monsters or beat them into pieces.
Then those who were brave enough also vomited while leaning against the wall.
It turned out that the "demons" were launching a surprise attack.
Xi Che and Chu Yan quickly entered the battle circle. Groups of "demons" rushed out from the surroundings one after another, but their movements were slow and not very flexible, like zombies. Xi Che looked at them for a while and felt that they looked familiar. A light bulb went off in his head and he finally remembered - they were indeed exactly the same as the "people" that appeared in the cave in Bi Yuan's memory when they attacked the village.
However, these monsters are covered with black hair, and at first glance, they look like alienated demons. But unlike the demons, they have no horns and no thick tails.
Xi Che couldn't help but think of the corpses in the land of bones.
Suddenly, a monster pounced on a student, opened its mouth wide and bit his neck. The student was so frightened that he stood there motionless. Xi Che hurriedly chanted a spell and shouted, "Stick!"
The monster's head looked like it was boiled, with large bubbles bulging under the skin and its skull and entire face distorted. Soon, it exploded in front of the student, and its internal organs and brains spilled all over the floor.
The good men and women who followed the God of Bright Light had never seen such a scene before. They usually hunted demons with fancy spells like "light sword" and "destruction". After having their faces sprayed with brains, they were almost scared crazy.
Chu Yan was not to be outdone. He actually released a large-scale killing spell, killing several of them with one strike. He was very dissatisfied with the student who had lost his fighting ability: "He dares to participate in the demon hunting operation with his fancy moves."
However, Xi Che misunderstood Chu Qi's dissatisfaction, thinking that he was as indignant as the talented scholars in ancient times who were not appreciated for their talents. To be honest, in terms of Taoism and magic, Chu Qi can crush everyone present. If the selection is based solely on strength, he would naturally be the most suitable person to be the successor of the God of Bright Light.
Too bad he's not human.
This is a secret known to all three realms. The Nine Netherworld Divine Realm has the closest relationship with the human world. Humans are also the most favored race among all living beings by the gods, because they are numerous and sincere enough when serving the gods. The gods need believers to expand their influence, so the relationship between humans and the gods is a mutually beneficial one.
The demons are cold and neutral, the monsters are rebellious and cruel, neither of them is liked by the gods. Even if the inheritor is not a god, it is absolutely impossible for him to come from these two groups.
Xi Che couldn't help but think of his own situation. No matter in his previous life or this life, he had become a demon and stood in opposition to Chu Yan.
Xi Che didn't say much, but walked up to help the student who had fallen to the ground up, and asked: "Student, why didn't you dodge just now? Were you scared?"
These monsters looked ferocious, but they were actually slow in movement. Xi Che noticed that when this student was pounced on, he stood stiffly in place and did not dodge. Even if he has no combat experience, he should have the instinct to escape. This is really strange.
At this time, the student's classmates also came over, and after hearing Xi Che's words, they asked: "Yes, I saw it too. What happened to you just now?"
The student shook his head with a pale face: "No, these demons have strange abilities. When it opened its mouth and barked at me, I felt numb all over, my hands and feet were out of control, and I couldn't move..."
This... is so weird.
The cold rain quickly washed away the blood on the ground. Xi Che looked around, but did not see any students' bodies. Instead, the ground was littered with monsters' body parts. These students are so incompetent, how come they all survived?
Xi Che picked up a thick branch, walked to the body that was blown to pieces, squatted down and took a closer look. The head and stomach of the corpse were no longer intact, being filled with rotten flesh, but some clues could still be seen below the waist. Xi Che used a branch to turn the corpse over.
The corpse had been blown into pieces from the waist up. When it was turned over, the flesh was scattered all over the ground. A fishy smell immediately hit him in the face. Xi Che subconsciously covered his nose with his hands.
But even though it had become like this, Xi Che had also seen the clue. There was actually a strange pattern on the lower back of the body that had been blown to pieces. Although only half of it was left, it could be seen that its complete shape should be a colorful tiger.
Xi Che stared at the tattoo with all kinds of colors on his face. Chu Yan also saw the mutilated tiger at a glance and understood everything in his mind.
How could he not recognize Asa's magic weapon?
Back when he was in Fengzao Mansion, Asa liked to secretly study those forbidden spells. Although he knew that he was mostly just out of curiosity, he did come up with some incredible things later.
Neither of them spoke, but the student hesitated and said, "I seem to have seen this pattern... in a book."
Everyone present turned to look at him. The student was weak and suddenly became the focus of attention. He felt very uncomfortable and stammered, "I, I don't remember it very clearly, and I'm not sure."
Xi Che was afraid that he would cause unnecessary trouble by telling this, so he stood up and said, "My two classmates, we have been attacked here. We don't know what the situation is in the village. Please go to the village and report to the teaching teacher first. Leave this to us."
Xi Che and Chu Yan showed off their skills in front of them, and the two students subconsciously had a "powerful" impression of them. Besides, the two students didn't want to stay in this place anymore, so after thanking Xi Che and Chu Yan, they hurried to the village.
After the two men left, Xi Che checked the lower backs of the other monster corpses and found that each of them had the same pattern on their bodies.
The rain hit Xi Che's face and dripped down his hair. His scalp was painful and his body was cold. Even though he was wearing a waterproof and cold-proof coat, it seemed as if the cold rain penetrated his inside.
Although Xi Che had no expression on his face at this time, he was very angry in his heart - he had been dead for so many years, and there were still people doing evil things under his name.
In fact, that was the case back then. After leaving Jiuyou, Xiche became a professional scapegoat. No matter who did what heinous evil thing, it would eventually be blamed on "Azas". He became synonymous with "evil".
Xi Che had no way to explain these things, and no one would believe him even if he did. They even developed a twisted worship of him, believing that there were some things that only a devil like him could do.
The rumors pushed him further and further away from everyone and everything in the God Realm. At the beginning, he was clearly just trying to draw a line between himself and Jiuyou, but later on, they became opposites.
It was clear that he didn't want to do anything to the God Realm.
The only thing Xi Che was thankful for was that after leaving the God Realm, he never saw Chu Yan again. Even if they passed by each other, he would take the initiative to avoid him.
People in the world judge others by their prejudices. If they saw that he was in contact with Chu Yan, they would definitely think that Chu Yan was the same kind of person as him. For the sake of momentary pleasure, he made Chu Yan unacceptable in the three realms, which was really not worth it.
The more Xi Che thought about it, the angrier he became - damn it, he must find out who is behind this!
Chu Yan noticed that Xi Che looked strange and walked forward: “Do you think this tattoo is unusual?”
Xi Che glanced at him, thought he was smart, and simply told him the truth: “The tattoos on their bodies are the same as the pattern of a tiger talisman called Da Chi. It is a magic weapon, and its owner is Azas, the sinner who provoked the war between gods and demons two hundred years ago... two hundred years ago.”
Chu Yan felt heartbroken when he heard him call himself a sinner, and he felt even more sad when he saw the desolate look on Xi Che's face. He silently reached out and held one of Xi Che's hands, trying to comfort him.
Xi Che tried to break free from his hand as if by reflex, but Chu Yan held it tightly: "Let's find a place where we can shelter from the rain to talk about what's next."
Xi Che nodded, but still pulled his hand out of Chu Yan's palm and walked towards the tent without saying a word.
The attack just now frightened the students who were camping at the foot of the mountain. They no longer lived in a tent in groups of three, but instead squeezed into a small tent with five or six people. The power of the group could soothe their emotions a little and make them feel safe.
After returning to his tent with Chu Yan, Xi Che sat down, frowned and sighed: "Before, in the field of bones, I performed a ritual to summon the souls, which actually awakened all the bones and caused them to pounce on me for my blood. At first, I thought it was because I was incapable and insisted on using this technique, which led to the backlash, but later I found that it was not the case. Someone must have used the soul summoning technique on those bones."
Chu Yan nodded, and Xi Che continued: "And this person's method is very crude. Those corpses turned into bones, but they still have inertia to this technique. It is because of the crudeness of the technique that they cannot accurately obey orders and mistakenly think that my soul summoning technique is the command that has been used on them."
It seems that the person who used this technique did not know how to use the orthodox technique of summoning spirits. He must have heard some incomplete fragments from somewhere and used them accordingly, resulting in this situation.
Could it be Jin Lingzi who did it? He did teach him a lot of magic spells back then, but the spell of summoning spirits was quite special, so Xi Che naturally had concerns and never taught it to anyone. Could it be that he found some fragments among his own belongings and caused so many troubles?
"Do you now suspect that the monsters that attacked the students, like those white bones, have been cast under the spell of soul-sentence-sentencing? Moreover, the birth of those monsters is related to Asa."
Xi Che looked at Chu Yan in surprise: "Why do you call him that... call him the Victorious Demon King?"
Chu Yan was silent for a moment: "It's convenient to call him that."
He called him so affectionately, could it be that the guy in front of him is also his potential admirer? No wonder he wasn't shaken at all when he heard that he was a demon.
However, Xi Che's current identity was not very upright, so he had no right to question others, and continued: "I can't clarify the relationship between tattoos, bones and corpses for the time being. There is only one thing that is certain, those who attacked us are not demons, they... should be humans, and I don't know why they became like that."
Chu Yan added calmly: "And they are dead humans."
"Did you feel it too?"
Chu Yan nodded: "I couldn't hear their breathing when I was very close."
Xi Che bit his lip and said hesitantly: "They are obviously dead, but they can still move freely. I can only think of zombies."
Chu Yan thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Impossible. Hanba, Houqing, and Yinggou were killed one by one as early as the era of the ancestor gods. How could there be such evil things as zombies in the world. Moreover, those monsters are much weaker than zombies."
The powerful zombie ancestors mentioned by Chu Yan also exist in this world. But that was a long, long time ago, and it had already become a legend even before Xi Che was born. In theory, the first batch of zombies could only be cultivated by these people who were infected with turbid air themselves, and then they could be passed down from generation to generation, so there was nothing wrong with what he said.
"Have you forgotten the corpse that bit me in the bone field that day?"
Xi Che hesitated, but decided to tell the truth: "We can't rule out the possibility that there is some evil magic in this world... that can create a zombie like that."
For example, he himself once created one by accident.
He had just remembered this incident, which happened a long time ago... Although he destroyed it quickly and never touched that magic again, Xi Che could not help but think about it when he found the pattern of the Great Edict on the corpse.
This technique is called "resurrection". The reason why Xi Che studied this technique was because a subordinate named Jin Lingzi came to him and asked him to resurrect his mother.
That’s right, it was the person sitting in the wheelchair who appeared in Bi Yuan’s memory, Jin Lingzi.
At that time, Xi Che had just arrived in the demon world, but his exquisite art of summoning spirits was already known to many people. Jin Lingzi heard the rumor from somewhere and mistakenly believed that he could resurrect the dead, so she came to ask for help.
In fact, the art of summoning spirits can only share the memories of the deceased and convey the wishes of the deceased to the living. It is not that magical, and it cannot bring people back to life.
Jin Lingzi felt that Xi Che was his only hope, so he knelt in front of the Palace of Prince Shen for five days and five nights, holding his mother's body, and begged Xi Che finally.
Think about it! There was a man kneeling at the door of his house holding a dead body! How scary!
Moreover, Jin Lingzi's experience was so sad that Xi Che couldn't help but feel soft-hearted towards this sixteen-year-old child.
Jin Lingzi suddenly became famous in the demon world in the past year. It is said that he is ruthless and extremely talented. Despite his young age, he has a strong character and is not afraid even when facing many powerful demons.
Jin Lingzi is the child of a human and a demon. His birth was an accident, and he has lived with his human mother since then. When Jin Lingzi was fifteen years old, his father from the demon clan learned of his existence and descended to the human world to snatch him away from his mother.
The incident resulted in the death of Jin Lingzi's mother.
Jin Lingzi secretly preserved his mother's body, and then spent a year killing his demon father. In order to kill his father, Jin Lingzi turned into a real demon and could no longer return to the human world to live. From then on, he wandered in the demon world. Hearing that Xi Che was skilled in the art of summoning spirits, he came to ask him to resurrect his mother.
Xi Che had never tried to resurrect a person before, but he promised to try to study it. At that time, he was also very curious and wanted to know whether there was a way to resurrect someone in this world.
The conclusion is, it is impossible.
Even God cannot reverse life and death.
Xi Che tried every possible means and finally succeeded in waking up Jin Lingzi's mother. However, she was no longer a living person, but a mindless monster, a walking corpse. She could not recognize her son, would no longer call him by his nickname gently, and would only bite people randomly.
Resurrecting a person in this way will not bring happiness to anyone, but will only make their loved ones more miserable.
Jin Lingzi was unable to kill his mother, so Xi Che killed the "zombie" on his behalf and solemnly stated that he was not allowed to use the resurrection technique again.
Jin Lingzi agreed, and from then on, he followed Xi Che and became his subordinate.
Xi Che thought about the reasons for his failure. There was a great possibility that it was because the soul he summoned was not complete. After all, his mother had been dead for a year at that time, and the soul should have been consumed a long time ago. Her body was forcibly "resurrected", but without a soul to support it, she became a walking corpse monster.
Based on Xi Che's experience in using the art of summoning spirits, it is actually very difficult to summon a relatively complete soul. People who have cultivated during their lifetime may be better off, as their souls are not easy to dissipate. But for ordinary people, once they die, their souls will be like consumables, becoming shallower and shallower over time.
If there is one person in this world who understands "resurrection" and "condemning the soul", it must be Jin Lingzi.
Now, all clues point to him.
But why did he do these things? Moreover, he had clearly taught Jin Lingzi how to summon spirits and how to summon souls, so why were the techniques he used so crude?
Chu Yan heard something behind Xi Che's words and stopped asking. He knew that Xi Che usually did some extraordinary things and guessed that he might have studied similar techniques before.
Then it is very likely that this matter is really related to him. Given Asa's personality, he will probably handle this matter to the end.
"No matter what, the situation is very dangerous now. We don't know who is behind this, nor do we know how he made zombies... With so many students, it's too unsafe to stay here. Let's retreat first."
Although Xi Che is not a teaching teacher and is even just an inconspicuous student now, he has the awareness to stand up and take responsibility when he knows there is danger here.
Maybe it’s because I’m used to being a decision maker.
Chu Yan understood what he said and naturally agreed. He immediately walked out of the tent and organized the students to gather together. These students were all from Yujing College, that is, followers of Mingzhao Tianshen. It was his responsibility to lead them to a safe place.
Xi Che also followed them out. The rain had stopped, so they called out the students who were still hiding in the tents and asked them to gather in the open space outside.
However, this matter did not go smoothly. Everyone else was fine, as they were already scared out of their wits. Someone told them what to do next, so they naturally had to obey.
But among the students who went on this expedition, there was this idiot Rong Shi.
This was Rong Shi's first time to come along to hunt demons. He had wanted to show off his skills and bring honor to his father, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing right away. He was so scared that he wanted to run away immediately.
But his timidity doesn't mean he is weak. Rong Shi is just a cowardly, trouble-making idiot. When Rong Shi saw that the person who came out to take charge of the situation was Xi Che, the annoying guy whom he usually looked down upon, he immediately forgot about being timid and just wanted to cause trouble.
He brought Luo Qing and several of his younger brothers to sing a different tune from Xi Che: "Why should we listen to you? Who do you think you are?"
Xi Che was speechless about this man. He was as childish as an elementary school student, but his hatefulness index far exceeded that of an elementary school student, making people want to beat him to death.
"What's going on?"
Chu Yan heard the noise and walked over with a frown. When Rong Shi saw him, he immediately mocked him, "Oh, you actually found such an ugly freak as your backer."
Chu Yan came to the human world and disguised his appearance in order not to attract attention. Compared with Luo Qing, the typical scumbag beside Rong Shi, he was naturally inconspicuous, but he was by no means ugly.
Che couldn't help but twitch his lips - what is this guy talking about? He was born with dignity and will die with dignity, all based on his own abilities, why does he need a backer? ! Also, why do I hear a sense of comparison in this idiot's tone? What the hell is there to compare with? Who wants to compare with him?
Rong Shi ignored the two of them, raised his arms, and shouted to everyone: "I advise you not to follow him casually. This sissy is not very powerful in school. How can he protect everyone's safety? He might be taken away by monsters halfway. It is better for you to follow me and wait for the instructor here."
Although Rong Shi is unreliable and likes to stir up trouble, it is undeniable that what he said is indeed somewhat inspiring. It is impossible for the students to really abandon their teachers and leave. They have to wait for the teachers to come back. Besides, Xi Che is indeed inconspicuous in school on weekdays. He may burst out once in a while, but that is not strength.
As a result, many students who were preparing to leave with him began to back out.
Rong Shi proudly raised his eyebrows at Xi Che to demonstrate to him, and the few lackeys behind him also followed suit, as if they wanted to take the opportunity to push Xi Che forward.
Seeing this, Chu Yan took a small step forward, blocking Xi Che behind him, and without saying a word, he stared at those guys who wanted to get close to Xi Che. Although Chu Yan's appearance had changed, his temperament as the God of Light could not be concealed at all. His pair of phoenix eyes were intimidating without him even being angry, and when he stared at people, he was scary even without saying a word.
Xi Che smiled indifferently: "We don't require you to follow us, we just tell you the possible risks. The responsibility lies with you, it's up to you to decide whether to go or stay."
Just as everyone was hesitating, someone suddenly ran over from a distance, shouting Xi Che's name in panic as he ran.
The classmate who Xi Che arranged to go to the village to inform the police has returned.
Because Xi Che had saved their lives, the two students had long recognized him. They ran over and ignored Rong Shi and others. They grabbed Xi Che and shouted breathlessly: "Big, big things have happened!"
The two students looked frightened. Xi Che frowned and held one of them's arm, comforting him: "Don't be anxious, talk slowly."
The student said in a crying voice: "We went to the village, and it was empty. The teaching teachers, students, and villagers were all gone!"
When everyone heard the news, they were immediately in an uproar, and even the few people who had followed Rong Shi to make trouble at the beginning turned their attention here.
"What do you mean? What do you mean missing?"
The student was obviously frightened and couldn't speak for a long time. It was another student who went with him to add the next words: "After we entered the village, we wanted to find the teaching teacher to report the situation. However, we searched the entire village, let alone the teaching teacher, there was not even a living thing in the village. Some people still had warm meals on the table in their homes, but the people were gone. The leashes tied to the dogs were still there, but the dogs were gone. But because it had rained, the soil on the ground was wet and soft, and footprints were left behind. We followed the footprints to find people. Who knew..."
When he said this, his face did not look good: "The footprints are in clusters, and all facing in the same direction, as if many people were walking in a line... The direction was towards the mountain. Inexplicably, thick fog rose up behind us, and we two almost got lost. We finally found our way back."
Everyone looked at each other after hearing his weird description. Xi Che also found it weird. It was obvious that Chu Qi had gone to the village in the morning to bring back food, but now everyone is gone?
He glanced at Chu Qi, who nodded as if he had the same idea as him and said, "When I went there this morning, everything was normal in the village."
Xi Che sighed and looked back at the students who were initially shaken by Rong Shi's words: "Students, now our teaching teacher is also missing. There is no need for you to wait here any longer. Let's go back together. No matter what, our safety is the most important thing at this point."
He was telling the truth. If there weren't so many students here today, Xi Che might have stayed to find out the truth, but with so many people still here, he decided to go back to school first.
Seeing this, everyone naturally had no objection and went back to their tents to pack their luggage and prepare to return.
Rong Shi was so frightened by this sudden change that he dared not speak. He just stood there stupidly. Xi Che glanced at him: "Do you want to wait for the instructor here, or go back with us?"
"I...you don't have to care about my business!"
Xi Che suddenly smiled: "But your men seem to be planning to go back with you. If you want to stay and enjoy the scenery of the mountain village, that's fine. Have fun."
Rong Shi looked back hurriedly when he heard that, but saw that his men were running faster than rabbits and were busy packing up. Rong Shi was so angry that he jumped up and kicked them in the butt: "Useless things!"
Xi Che shook his head, his expression helpless - he would not argue with Rong Shi. Although this man was hateful, he was nothing compared to the person who caused the strange phenomenon here. That person was the real villain.
Often, after being a god for a long time, one's mind and personality will change, and this change is often long-term.
Gods are tolerant of creatures whose power is far inferior to their own and will not fuss over trivial matters. Although Xi Che's power is no longer comparable to what it used to be, he still retains the habits from his time as a god.
This is not Xi Che's personal behavior, but all gods have this kind of character.
This is divinity, generosity, and disdain. Xi Che used to mock it as "arrogant tolerance."
Xi Che also turned and walked towards his tent. Chu Yan followed him and stared at Xi Che for a long while, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved up - he was indeed still the same as before, without changing at all.
