Chapter 239: The Demon Race’s Past
When he saw this book, Lu Sen was a little surprised, but he didn't feel too strange in his heart.
Good and evil are never isolated, they always appear in pairs.
Because this world itself is what is called dynamic balance.
As long as there are sects of practice that follow the right path, there will naturally be those that take the wrong path.
It is true that the Tianji Sect and Lu Sen are not on good terms, but they just have different stances on doing things from Lu Sen. When it comes to cultivation, they follow the path of Tanghuang, and this has to be acknowledged.
But the person who wrote this exercise book is not a good person at first glance, and can even be said to be anti-human.
Lu Sen casually flipped through it and found that it was indeed an evil martial art as he had imagined.
Because everyone has spiritual energy, the only difference is the amount. This technique teaches people how to peel off the spiritual energy of another person and transfer it to themselves, and then turn the person into a living corpse to be driven.
It's cruel, but from a 'research' perspective, it's also very meaningful.
Lu Sen closed the book and said, "Master Lin, where did you get this book?"
This thing is not something that ordinary people should come into contact with.
To be honest, Lu Sen was surprised.
The pursuit of "power" by the world's people should be universal, especially in this world where there are "gongfa" and people with special abilities.
If Lu Sen were an ordinary person, he might not be able to maintain the mentality and try to practice it if he got this martial arts book.
Lu Sen really couldn't guarantee it.
Seeing Lu Sen's expression change , Master Lin sat down. The cynical old naughty boy look just now disappeared, replaced by the kind of arrogance that is unique to scholars: "Master Lu, is what is written in this evil book true?"
"I don't know!" Lu Sen shook his head slightly: "I don't know much about this aspect, so I can't tell whether it's true or not, but I guess... it should be true."
Master Lin also understood what Master Lu Sen meant. He was silent for a while, and then said, "A few years ago, I had a disciple that I was very optimistic about. He lived in another place and came to Hangzhou to study. One day, he returned to his hometown for a festival. I thought it was just a short separation between teacher and student, but after a while, I heard that he disappeared. He suddenly died suddenly, and his whole family died tragically. I was extremely sad, so I went to his house. At that time, his whole family had been buried by the neighbors. According to the local county government, this was a very strange thing. The dead were all torn into pieces by five horses, and there were traces of being eaten by wild beasts. Finally, a lot of human flesh was found in the stomach of my student!"
Hearing this, Lu Sen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
This is no longer tragic, but weird.
Master Lin sighed and said, "The local county government couldn't find any useful clues either, and we don't want to, nor dare to, continue investigating."
This is natural... At that time, feudal thinking was still quite serious, and most people didn't want to get involved when encountering such weird things.
There are not many officials in the world like Bao Zheng, who try their best to get to the bottom of every case.
Lu Sen also sat down and placed the evil black book on the table.
Master Lin closed his drooping eyelids gently. "When I arrived at my student's home, there were still dried black bloodstains in the house. At that time, outsiders dared not enter the house. He had no other relatives in the area, so I helped him deal with the aftermath. I thought of collecting the debris in the house and selling the furniture, and sending the proceeds to his distant relatives. Then I found this book on his bookshelf."
Having said that, Master Lin rubbed his forehead and looked very uncomfortable.
Lu Sen's eyes fell on the evil book, and he asked again: "Since you know that this book is an evil book, why didn't Master Lin burn it?"
"It can't be burned." Master Lin shook his head helplessly: "This should be a divine object. It won't go bad if thrown into the stove, and it won't break if soaked in water. I was afraid that the book would fall into the hands of someone with bad intentions, so I hid it in the secret compartment of the bookshelf. I have kept it there for several years." Master Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly: "To be honest with Master Lu, I haven't had a good night's sleep in the past few years. I always dream that this evil book will be discovered by my family or outsiders, and cause another bloody incident."
At this time, Mr. Lin's face was full of fatigue, but of course he also felt relieved after handing over the book.
Lu Sen could imagine that Master Lin was worried every day, fearing that the book would be discovered by other people.
Maybe he himself will have to resist the temptation to learn the "magic" above.
Lu Sen was somewhat impressed. He asked, "Then why did Master Lin want to give this book to me? Aren't you afraid..."
"When I first heard about Master Lu, I was worried, fearing that a cultivator like you would also know this kind of evil magic." Master Lin stroked his white beard, "But Master Lu's magical powers are extremely mysterious. Not to mention that the Immortal Rice can save countless lives and help the people, which is a great act of kindness. Just the golden boat hanging above Hangzhou City is a shining object. I can tell at a glance that you are a righteous person. It is much better to give this book to you than to have it in my hands. I estimate that I will not live for many years, and I will not be able to hide this book by then. If this book falls into the hands of my relatives, it will probably be a disaster to destroy the whole family."
Lu Sen understood what Master Lin meant.
He put the evil book into his backpack and said with a smile, "Then I will put the book away and make sure no one else finds it. As for Master Lin, you said that you don't have much time left to live, that may not be true."
As he spoke, Lu Sen placed a piece of rainbow silk on the table.
The peaches in the house have borne fruit but are not ripe yet and cannot be eaten, so rainbow silk is still the only means to increase the life span of others.
"A rare book in exchange for a piece of satin." Lu Sen clasped his fists and said with a smile, "I got the upper hand in this deal."
Master Lin shook his head: "I am unworthy of this rainbow silk."
Giving the book to Lu Sen was like throwing away a hot potato. Mr. Lin knew very well that he was getting a great deal in this matter.
However, Lu Sen has a different opinion.
For him, he should be able to find some techniques on how to use spiritual energy in this so-called evil book.
'Strength and skills' have no good or evil attributes, it depends on how you use them.
Lu Sen did not take back the rainbow silk, but clasped his fists, then turned around and left.
Master Lin was chasing after him, holding a rainbow silk scarf in his hand, and shouting, “Wait, Master Lu, wait a minute!”
But Lu Sen ignored him, went out to the yard, released the flying vehicle directly, and flew away with a whoosh.
Master Lin looked up at the sky while holding the rainbow silk, and could only sigh sadly.
At this time, the entire Lin Mansion had been alarmed, and several women and children rushed out in robes, asking what had happened.
Among them, a mature beauty walked up to Master , bowed gracefully, and asked, "Aunt, what happened?"
"Why are you willing to come out now?" Master Lin said helplessly while holding the rainbow silk: "Master Lu has already left."
The mature beauty's face changed, and she said sadly: "Aunt, I am a member of the Lin family in life and a ghost of the Lin family in death. Don't keep thinking about driving me away."
"Lang'er has been gone for more than three years. You can find a good family to marry while you are still young and beautiful." Old Master Lin continued to persuade: "We in the Song Dynasty do not discriminate against remarriage. Look at Empress Liu, she was also a remarried woman. She was favored by the nobles and finally became the mother of the country. If you stay in our Lin family, you will only end up alone. The most difficult thing is that you and Lang'er don't even have a child. In your old age, it is inevitable that you will be sad and miserable."
Mr. Lin really cares about his eldest daughter-in-law and wants what's best for her.
The mature beauty shook her head slightly: "If there is nothing else, the daughter-in-law will go back to sleep, and please go to bed early, old man."
"Wait." Seeing that he could not persuade her, Master Lin stuffed the rainbow silk in his hand into her hands and said, "Take it and make some clothes for yourself and the kids at home."
"This... this is rainbow silk. Why doesn't Grandpa eat it to prolong his life!" The mature beauty looked at the beautiful rainbow silk in her hand, her eyes full of light.
Women all like this kind of radiant things.
Master Lin snorted, "I am a man, why should I bother with these trivial matters? This is the job of you women, don't bother me."
After saying this, Master Lin flicked his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, turned around and walked away.
The mature beauty was holding the rainbow silk, feeling quite helpless.
Back to Lu Sen, after he flew back to the cave, he found Lu Xianxian directly.
Lu Xianxian was playing with Lu Jingjing and others just now. There was a little sweat on her forehead, and her body exuded a strange fragrance that only a fox spirit could have, which was quite pleasant.
She sat down in front of Lu Sen, wiped her cheek with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "My dear, when will you find me?"
Lu Sen took out the black evil book from the system backpack and placed it in front of the other party.
Lu Xianxian looked at the cover, flipped through the pages for a while, then closed the book and said, "Where did you find this book, my dear? "
"An old man gave it to me."
"I never thought that I would be able to see the Wansheng Sect's skills three hundred years later." Lu Xianxian put the book back on the table. She felt nostalgic at first, then smiled bitterly: "As for the story behind this book, I guess my husband will be very unhappy to hear it."
"can say?"
"Yes." Lu Xianxian looked at Lu Sen with a smile: "But this matter needs to be talked about while drinking to be meaningful. My dear, wait a minute, I'll go get some fruit wine."
The fruit trees at home grew fruits very quickly, and several people could not finish eating them all. Some were given to the family servants, and the rest were used to make wine.
After a while, Lu Xianxian came over carrying a jar of peach wine. When she walked, her waist and feet swayed like willow catkins in the spring breeze, which was very beautiful.
The jar is placed on the table, opened, and the fragrance fills the air.
Lu Xianxian poured a glass for Lu Sen and herself, then sat down, took a sip, and slowly began to tell the story.
It turns out that in addition to the Qingqiu Fox, there were many other monster tribes in the Central Plains. Although it is not clear why so many monster tribes would inexplicably run to Japan.
But this did not affect the situation where demons appeared from time to time in the Central Plains hundreds of years ago.
The 'living environment' of the monsters in the Central Plains was not very good. Even the nine-tailed fox, which was once auspicious beast, became a vicious beast and a demon later on, not to mention other less famous monsters.
In the eyes of most sects in the Central Plains, killing monsters is a way to increase one's merits. Moreover, monsters are full of treasures, and their blood, flesh, and fur are all the essence.
So what can we say about the monsters in the Central Plains... They are either chopped up and used as tools for training, or they are refined into pills.
Life was extremely hard.
A slightly better one is the Qingqiu fox, which was once a auspicious beast, but it is not much better either.
It was in this extremely miserable situation for the demon clan that a demon beast stood up. It was originally a Kun, and later turned into a Dapeng bird.
He single-handedly established the only cultivation sect of the demon race at that time, the Wansheng Sect.
"Demon" is what humans call them, and the real monsters call themselves "saints".
The All Saints Sect came into being for the purpose of uniting and saving the demon race, and their philosophy is to counter the human practitioners on an equal footing.
The human race uses us demons to make elixirs, so we will use human practitioners as food.
In fact, demons generally have no interest in ordinary people, because the latter have almost no spiritual energy in their bodies, and to demons, they taste weird and unpalatable.
Only those humans who have practiced cultivation are edible in their eyes.
It was in this atmosphere of confrontation that the means of stripping human practitioners of their spiritual energy and turning them into zombies emerged.
The purpose of turning human practitioners into zombies is to "preserve" the food ingredients so that they can be kept for a long period of time while maintaining a fresh and delicious taste.
At that time, human cultivators and demons were fighting fiercely, but they were fighting in secret. On the surface, the world was still peaceful.
The demons were also very restrained and did not expand the battlefield to ordinary humans.
But the demons were ultimately no match for humans, and the Wansheng Sect was eventually destroyed by a coalition of human sects.
Before being exterminated, the last few demons of the Wansheng Sect translated their own skills into human language, and used the leather of their dead comrades to make books, which they then distributed everywhere.
Hearing this, Lu Sen was a little curious: "What's the point of doing this?"
"My dear, you should know that the skills of the demon race and the human race are not interchangeable." Lu Xianxian pointed to her chest and said, "Although I am in human form now, my meridians are very different from those of humans. Under normal circumstances, if a human race practices the skills of the demon race, they will only end up going astray."
Lu Xianxian said with great admiration: "The leader of the Wansheng Sect, the Great Sage Kunpeng, is extremely talented. The technique he created can slowly turn all those who practice this technique into his own people. His original intention was that even if the human race exterminated all of his own people, as long as this technique still existed for one day and someone was willing to practice it, a new saint race would appear."
Lu Sen raised his eyebrows: "So powerful?"
"But that requires sufficient spiritual energy." Lu Xianxian explained: "Under the current circumstances, practicing the secret technique of sacrificing corpses can only transform yourself into a beast, not into spirituality."
Lu Sen now understood why Master Lin’s disciples had human flesh in their stomachs, because they had turned into wild beasts.
"I heard that this technique has been confiscated and hidden by Shushan and other sects." Lu Xianxian gently stroked the surface of the book: "I didn't expect that there are still some that have escaped and are still in the world."
She personally admires the Great Sage Kunpeng, but the human race is just too ridiculously strong... The demon race has never truly won a single victory from ancient times to the present, so Kunpeng is naturally no match for them.
Not to mention that now that the spiritual energy is exhausted, a very strange practitioner like Lu Sen has appeared.
She reminisced about the bloody storm of the past, and then said, "Actually, you can practice the 'Bewitching Heart Chapter'. It won't change your racial identity, but will bring you many benefits!"
Lu Sen asked: "What do you think?"
"The Heart-confusing Chapter is a technique provided by my Qingqiu Fox Clan, and then improved by Great Sage Kunpeng." Lu Xianxian's face flushed slightly: "In fact, it is the demon clan's dual cultivation method, which is much more powerful than the one you are practicing now."
