Chapter 4 The Old Demon Head(1/2)
Chapter 4 Old Demon Head
Gu Feng looked at Ye Ziqi quietly and agreed, "Yeah, okay."
After a while, he said again: "Did you use magic on yourself in the library?"
Ye Ziqi could understand the secret of the demon book and never hid it from Gu Feng.
"Yes." Ye Ziqi said in a tired tone: "But after I used the magic, I lost consciousness. I don't know what happened next."
"Then let me tell you." Gu Feng nodded and told in detail how Ye Ziqi's body grew stronger and turned into a giant-like monster, how he killed seven horse thieves and then passed out again.
Tell Ye Ziqi to listen.
"...After you fainted, your body returned to normal, and I carried you from the town. We killed all the horse thieves nearby, and no one came after them. We were lucky.
Now we are at the back mountain of Beishan, and it has been four hours since you passed out."
"So that's it." Ye Ziqi nodded. He remembered that at that time, he was like in a dream, and couldn't help but want to kill everyone he saw. Fortunately, he was able to recognize Gu Feng.
After a long silence, Gu Feng picked up a piece of rabbit meat that he had already roasted, threw it to Ye Ziqi, and said:
"You haven't eaten all day."
Ye Ziqi picked up the rabbit meat and started chewing it. After finishing the chewing, he fell into deep thought silently.
He wanted to take advantage of the memory of the day to recall this genocide over and over again and carve hatred into his bones.
Gu Feng couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Ye Ziqi acting like this. Ye Ziqi was actually a bit of a spoiled person. The Ye family was a wealthy family in the town, and Ye Ziqi was the most favored Ye eldest son of this generation.
But now Ye Ziqi is experiencing the pain of bereavement, and his injuries have not yet healed. He eats such unpalatable game without seasoning, but he doesn't say a word, let alone like when practicing sword practice every day.
He complained that he was tired. Maybe this disaster really made him grow up.
And he himself had experienced this kind of thing a year ago.
Was it because of his father's secret blessing that he was able to survive this disaster?
"I'll go find some more firewood." Gu Feng stood up and said, "Don't let the fire go out. I only brought two firewood sticks with me."
Ye Ziqi nodded, and after Gu Feng left, he opened his blood-stained clothes and looked at himself carefully by the firelight.
There was some pain in his arms and legs, but he didn't dare to check it in front of Gu Feng just now because he touched a deep scar and the bleeding stopped. No matter how you think about it, the recovery speed is too fast.
Already.
Thinking that his prayer to the mythical ancestor of all demons, the Demon of Heaven, had worked, Ye Ziqi felt that it was hard to tell whether his body was still a human body.
"I almost couldn't come back from the hell gate, kid." A slightly older voice suddenly sounded.
Ye Ziqi was shocked, stood up in panic, and shouted: "Who? Come out!"
"No need to shout to the sky. Have you forgotten my voice, boy?"
Ye Ziqi's heart sank, and he remembered that he had heard this sound today. In the sea of fire in the library, when the demon-sealed book opened a demonic eye towards him, this sound was made.
"You are... that monster in the library! Where are you?"
"My home was burned down by you, and now it lives in your body. So you don't have to shout loudly, kid."
"Don't talk like a kid!" Ye Ziqi heard that the monster said that he was living in his body. He immediately thought of the word "seize the body" and became very afraid. He suppressed the fear in his heart and said forcefully:
"How old are you, and you just call me kid? If you really have a background, tell me your name."
"Hmph, kid, I am old enough to be your grandpa, so you can call me Demon Grandpa."
"Old demon leader, stop showing off your power. In fact, you are the demon envoy sent by the sky demon to help me kill those horse thieves, right?"
"You bastard! How dare you call me——"
"Okay!" Ye Ziqi interrupted loudly:
"I sacrificed my body to the Heavenly Demon to seek Dharma, and I knew that this would be the result. Since the Heavenly Demon has helped me kill the horse thief, and now you want to take my body, I have nothing to say.
But we made an agreement first. If you want to use my body, you must avenge me on the Qianzhou Horse Thief. Even if you can't avenge it, at least you must not hurt Gu Feng. Otherwise, even if I only have a trace of my soul left in this body , I will definitely fight with you to the death!"
After Ye Ziqi finished speaking, he was panting and sweating. He knew that since he had been possessed by a monster, it would only take a moment for his life and body to be taken away again, so he held on to the determination to die and first He left his last words behind.
The voice in the body was silent for a long time before replying: "Young boy, I don't know any heavenly demons. If you want to know my identity, just close your eyes. I'm talking to you in the inner sea. I'll let you roar again." If you go down, you will have to attract wild beasts!"
Ye Ziqi was choked up after hearing the words, tried to calm down and closed his eyes.
His eyes fell into darkness, and a slender eye like golden glass slowly opened in the darkness.
"It's really you...what kind of monster are you?"
The golden eyeballs opened and closed and made a sound:
"Listen up, kid. I am not a demon envoy sent by some heavenly demon. I was originally a great demon from the North Continent. When the demon body was weak in the past, I was sealed in the Demon Sealing Book by Dayu and his group. From then on, I followed the demon. The book has been turned over and over, and after hundreds of years of being destroyed by spells, the body has been completely destroyed. Although the demonic power is still there, it cannot escape.
Today you set fire to the library. I thought I would finally be destroyed along with the books and freed from this world.
I never thought that you were willing to fall into the demon body. At that time, your mind was so excited that your inner door opened wide, and I took advantage of the gap to enter your body.
This process is difficult to control, and a lot of my demonic power spilled into your meridians, which is why you later used your demonic power to deal with the horse thieves..."
"Okay, no need to talk nonsense." Ye Ziqi cut off loudly: "In short, you just want to take my body, right?"
The big-eyed demon narrowed his eyes and circled around him, saying: "Your body, with thin arms and thin legs, is quite strong. It's not impossible to make do with it..."
Ye Ziqi opened his eyes silently and looked around to see if there was any hard stone. He suddenly thought that if he knocked himself to death now, he could effectively prevent the demon eye from using his body to harm others, thereby protecting Gu Feng.
"Wait a minute! Boy! Cough, cough..." Demon Eye said urgently: "I have just escaped from the seal, my demon power has not been restored, and it is not stable in your body, so I can't take away your body. "
"Are you serious?" Ye Ziqi asked excitedly.
"Of course. And I also think you are quite interesting. There has never been a human being who has opened the way to become a demon at such a young age like you. It would be a pity to let you die all of a sudden. I will live with you as one body. , before the demonic power is fully restored, there is no harm in going together to see the scenery of Kyushu in this world."
After hearing this, Ye Ziqi fell into silence again and was speechless for a long time.
According to the records in the monster book, although monsters are ferocious and cruel, they are often upright and will not lie. If they say they won't take away their bodies, they probably won't kill them.
Although "Demon Eye"'s tone was plain, for him, it was a narrow escape from death!
Before he could calm down his excitement, Yaoyan said again: "Young boy, please remember, you must travel to all corners of Kyushu in the future and let me see what I want to see. I will save you for nothing."
It’s a matter of your body. If you continue to be like a scholar and be confined to a room, I will find it boring. I may one day have to take advantage of your body and go out in person."
Ye Ziqi replied: "What do you mean, you treat my body like an inn and live here for free, and you also treat me like a carriage driver to drag you around?"
"That's right, kid. He's savvy and has a clear self-positioning."
"Go to hell, old monster!" Ye Ziqi said angrily: "Who wants to make you a cow or a horse for free? Since you are a big monster and you live here, you can't pay me some rent? Help me to ask the horse thief
Revenge?"
"Boy, do you want benefits from a monster?" Monster Eye suddenly said without emotion.
Ye Ziqi's heart tightened, and then he realized, yes, he was so lucky to have survived the catastrophe that he felt a little carried away.
Humans and monsters have different paths. Throughout the ages, how many people who have benefited from monsters have ended up well? What's more, how can such a bloody feud be passed on to others?
Ye Ziqi finally calmed down and said softly: "Pretend I didn't say anything."
"Hmph, it's not that cheap to borrow my power. But I can give you a warning. I saw you in the library before, and you learned a lot of little magic tricks that were not good enough, but you are not a demon.
, and if you don’t have demonic power, then your efforts will naturally be in vain.”
When Ye Ziqi heard this, his whole body was shocked and he asked: "Can it be that now I...can use magic?"
"Although you have not lost your heart, your body has begun to turn into a demon. As long as you haven't forgotten all the spells and spells, I am still willing to lend you a little bit of demon power and use a few small magic spells, so it won't be a problem."
Ye Ziqi immediately opened his eyes, knowing that this was no small matter, and couldn't wait to start the experiment. He gently recited a mantra towards the burning fire in front of him.
The fire immediately became smaller.
"Haha, it's not bad. A wild beast is running towards here. Do you know what method to use?"
Hearing the old demon leader's reminder, Ye Ziqi's expression tightened, and he immediately picked up two leaves from the ground and recited a spell in a low voice.
Then, Gu Feng strode out from the bushes, his face as serious as daytime.
"Climb the tree!" Gu Feng shouted sharply: "Wolf!"
The sound of countless churning leaves rang out, and in the darkness behind Gu Feng, the unsuppressible gasps of wild beasts could indeed be heard.
It's the fishy smell, it's the drum-like footsteps, it's the jumping shadows, it's the pairs of shining eyes.
But Ye Ziqi raised his foot and swept out the fire, shouting: "Don't move!"
Just as he said that, Ye Ziqi suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed it directly on the top of Gu Feng's head.
It turned out that he put a leaf on the top of Gu Feng's head. There was even a leaf on his own head.
"Ouch!" With a soft roar, the outline of the first wolf jumped out from behind him. The corners of Gu Feng's eyes twitched, but he didn't move again after all.
Then the second item popped up immediately.
Jumping down from rocks, tree roots, and grass, a dozen wolves came running from the same direction. Their roars were low, but they ran extremely fast.
Because there is no light, I can only see a dozen outlines. When I get closer, I can see a little bit of gray fur.
Ye Ziqi still pressed Gu Feng's head, and the two of them stood there in a strange posture.
The wolves came running, passed by the two people, and then ran forward without stopping.
