Volume 1 Qingyang Mountain Chapter 31 Make the best use of it
Perhaps Su Huaixin thought that no one would enter the courtyard, so he did not restore the broken doors and windows, but kept the appearance of the contracted beast rushing out that day.
From the walls to the doors and windows, and then under the wooden boards. The formation is under the house.
The group of people went down the stone stairs. At the corner, the ever-burning lamp illuminated the entire basement. Su Huaixin was holding a long sword and pointing it at the iron cage in front of him.
The Jiuyuan sword came out, and the long sword in Su Huaixin's hand fell with a crisp sound. There was a dark monster locked in the iron cage in front of him.
Perhaps he was frightened, and the demonized beast suddenly grew several times larger and rushed towards him fiercely.
At this moment, countless chains appeared in the cage, binding the monster tightly and preventing it from moving.
"I didn't expect you to come so quickly." Su Huaixin held the cage to steady himself, his voice was weak, and his face was as pale as a crumpled white paper.
After not seeing him for a day, he turned out to have aged thirty years.
Jiuyuan pulled back his sheath, and Su Yi walked up to him and said, "Do you think you are guilty of letting the contracted beast hurt people?"
The voice was gentle and unquestionable, and seemed to have some compassion.
Pity for what? For those who were hurt like Fang Man? Or Su Huaixin? Or the contracted beast in front of me?
Su Huaixin didn't seem to hear Su Yi's voice. He clung to the iron cage with his hands as dry as wood and muttered to himself:
"Ah Zhao! My Ah Zhao has never hurt anyone or been contaminated with demonic energy. How could he suddenly become demonized? He has always been carrying that magic weapon and has clearly isolated all demonic energy. How could he become demonized?"
He doesn't seem to know why the contracted beast became demonized.
Seeing this situation, Su Yi gave up the interrogation, split the wall on the side with his sword, and forced a door through the wall to get out.
Behind the wall is a clean room. Fang Man is lying in a wooden barrel full of blood. His left arm is short and soft as if it is boneless. It is clearly newly grown. His face is bloodless and his breath is almost non-existent.
That appearance is not much different from death.
Fang Yuan's legs went weak and he knelt down in front of the barrel. His tears couldn't stop falling and he shouted: "Brother!"
When he came, he imagined how his brother had come here all these years. He probably cut off the flesh and bled, because the demonized monster must eat human flesh and blood to survive.
Every time he thinks about this, he will hate, his eyes are bloodshot with hatred, why there are monsters in this world, why Su Huaixin doesn't kill the monster, why he chooses his brother, and why he tortures his brother like this!
But in the end, he hated himself again and again, but he only hated himself.
He stood in the village every evening, looking at the barrier, hoping that his brother would come back.
But his brother was clearly right in front of him, right in the place he passed by every day, yet he had been looking for him for seven whole years!
Su Yi stepped forward to check his pulse, said: "There is still hope," and began to treat him.
The smell of blood spread through the broken wall into the iron cage, and Azhao, who was bound by the iron chains, began to feel restless.
Saving people was not within the scope of Hua Ruxue's consideration. She took the butterfly demon out of the clean room and stood guard in front of the iron cage. Seeing that A Zhao was tightly trapped, she felt relieved. So why did the seventh-level demon beast
Will it be demonized?
So she asked Su Huaixin: "Why did Ah Zhao become a demon?"
She always felt that the demonic energy surrounding Azhao was very familiar, a bit like the black mist on the Hangao vines. In short, it was different from the demonic beast she saw yesterday.
Su Huaixin turned around with difficulty, opening his cloudy eyes wide, as if trying to figure out who she was.
Suddenly, Su Huaixin went crazy, his face changed drastically, and he shouted hysterically: "It's all Su Huaiqian's fault! It's all his fault! If it weren't for him, the Life Extension Pill would be mine!"
"With the Life Extension Pill, you will have the opportunity to continue practicing and make breakthroughs! You will not die!"
"That longevity pill was supposed to be mine!"
"I am still two thousand short of merit, but I have collected fifty thousand merit! With fifty thousand merit, my soul will not be scattered after death."
Merits are extremely important to monks. Fifty thousand merits can ensure that one's soul will not be disintegrated after death, so that not even a body can be left behind. Only one hundred thousand merits can lead to the thunder disaster of ascension.
But Su Huaixin's words still did not explain the reason why Azhao became a demon.
Just like what he said just now, Azhao has not killed anyone, and he has always been carrying a magic weapon to isolate the demonic energy. He is still a level seven monster, which does not meet the conditions for demonization of a monster at all. How can he become a demon?
"I'm sorry, Azhao. I can't help it. If I die, you will die too."
His tone suddenly weakened, revealing a nostalgic and expectant look, and a drop of turbid liquid flowed from the corner of his eye.
"Ah Zhao! Ah Zhao! Are we still as good as before?"
"We left Qingyang Mountain and lived in your favorite cave. We planted a row of green pears. Your favorite green pears are crisp and sweet. Do you still remember them?"
Su Huaixin staggered closer to the big bird called A Zhao. It was wrapped in demonic energy, only showing a pair of scarlet, irrational eyes, and its original appearance could no longer be seen.
It stretched its wings, trying to break free of the chains on its body. If it broke free of the chains, no one in the entire Qingyang Mountain would be able to escape, not to mention a few of them.
Hua Ruxue turned to look at Su Yi. Su Yi was still healing Fang Man. He seemed not worried at all that Ah Zhao would escape. Su Ye Fang Yuan was standing by.
Su Zhi clenched his fists, and there was struggle, confusion, and sorrow and regret in his eyes. He seemed to have seen what would happen next, or had seen it before.
The butterfly demon turned around and didn't look at Ah Zhao, while the silver snake looked excited, as if the scene in front of him was some rare happy event.
Why isn't everyone afraid?
The next moment, there was a crunching sound of bones being bitten into pieces not far away, and Su Huaixin was half swallowed by Ah Zhao.
As she got closer, she could clearly see how many teeth in Azhao's mouth were as sharp as the tips of knives and were polished neatly by food. As the flesh and blood was swallowed into her belly, the demonic aura in Azhao's body seemed to weaken a little, but there was something in his eyes.
The longing was replaced by unspeakable madness.
Not surprisingly, Ah Zhao became stronger. He gently shook his wings, and the chains on both sides were as crumbly as tofu.
Hua Ruxue took a few steps back to protect Su Yi and others behind her. Perhaps due to their influence, facing such a dangerous Azhao, she actually didn't have the slightest fear in her heart.
Immediately afterwards, Ah Zhao broke free from the cage and shouted to the sky. The sharp sound stimulated her mind and almost penetrated her ears.
After a breath, he retracted his wings, as if he had completed his mission, closed his eyes, and fell to the ground, his huge body shrinking into a ball.
After the demonic energy dissipated, she saw clearly that it was a colorful munia with a green back.
It turns out that there are only two endings for a contracted beast to become a demon. One is to be killed by the contractor; the other is to die together with the contractor.
The butterfly demon said that the only way for monsters to become demons is to die, which is true. Even if there are no monks to kill them, they will die because they can't eat flesh and blood for a long time.
If the contracted beast becomes demonized, it will only lead to death.
Su Huaixin did not tell the reason why Azhao became demonized, nor did he say why he did not kill Azhao. Isn't the monk's responsibility to kill demons and protect the world? But he injured many people for the demonized contracted beast.
People will always be soft-hearted and kind, and these emotions will make them feel deeply conflicted and forget their original purpose.
There is no such thing as kindness and kindness in the world of monsters. Death is just a rare and common thing. Sacrifice of the few to preserve the majority is their way of survival.
If it were her, she would definitely kill Azhao without hesitation. On the one hand, it would prevent her from being killed by Azhao if her cultivation level deteriorated, and on the other hand, it would prevent Azhao from hurting other people.
"Little Butterfly, do you know why Azhao turned into a demon?" Hua Ruxue asked.
The butterfly demon flew up from her shoulder, stopped above Ah Zhao, and sprinkled a lot of golden pollen to cover him. After doing this, he slowly said:
"For monks, merit is extremely important. Merit can only be obtained by killing monsters. Killing a seventh-level monster can get 200 merit, but killing a seventh-level monster can get 2,000 merit."
"Two hundred, two thousand. There is such a big difference between a monster and a demon beast." Xiao Shitou mentioned merit last night. She had just learned about the existence of merit, but she didn't expect that demons and demons were not the same at all.
"How capable are monsters? Monsters below the third level are not even qualified to leave Qingyang Mountain. When they come out, they are dead souls in the claws of the monsters. Killing monsters below the second level does not even count for merit. It is for this reason that many monks
They fatten us monsters before killing them."
What does "fatten them and then kill them?" mean? It can't be what she thinks!
"Well, it's just what you think. Regarding the killing and keeping of monsters, they have been divided into two factions since ancient times. One is our Qingyang Su clan, which is friendly to monsters and eliminates evil monsters. The other is the Sushang Ying clan, who has done its best to eliminate evil. Since we have been fighting monsters
After the beast's contract appeared, another faction emerged - the demon making full use of it, headed by the Chang Ying Yun clan."
"Using everything to its fullest use?" Hua Ruxue froze on the spot. It turned out that in addition to Qingyang Su's good demon friends, the evil demon exterminator and the Su Shang Ying clan's evil demon extermination, there was actually a third demon who made his best use.
use.
Combined with what the butterfly demon said just now, "fatten it before killing it", she probably understood that this was to raise the monster beast to a large size and fatten it up, and then kill it.
"Yes! Chang Yingyun's reputation in the monk world has always been very bad. I heard that they have a magic weapon that can temporarily store evil energy. The evil energy is useless to people and can only demonize monsters. They rely on this magic weapon.
, demonize your contracted beast, and then kill it to gain the most merit."
The butterfly demon said it easily, this is not a secret, it is something that all monks know, and most monsters also know it.
"So, in order to obtain two thousand merits, Su Huaixin used Chang Yingyun's magic weapon to demonize Azhao."
No wonder Su Yi, Su Zhi and the others were only shocked for a moment when they heard that the seventh-level monster was demonized, and they quickly accepted this fact.
They knew that the seventh-level monsters could be demonized through Chang Ying Yun's magic weapon. The news that shocked them at that time was that the elders of Qingyang Su's clan actually disobeyed them and turned to Chang Ying Yun's clan.
"Don't worry, the Qingyang Su family is different from those people and will not treat us like that! I know my master best!"
As he spoke, the butterfly demon flapped its wings and flew towards Su Ye, landing on the tip of his nose. He whispered something unknown, causing Su Ye to snort coldly and turn around.
Hua Ruxue's eyes unconsciously stayed on Su Yi, remembering the twinkling light in his eyes when he talked about the Wuwei Sword and the ancestors of the Su family.
He should be like that ancestor. Make friends with good demons and get rid of evil demons. This chapter has been completed!
