"It's not a curse." Qin Yao took a look after arriving and said decisively.
Zhong Kui breathed a sigh of relief, and the pain that penetrated his soul seemed to be lighter.
He said that even if Zhang Daoxian was not a good person, he was not that vicious.
"May I ask Daoist Master Qin, what exactly is going on with me?"
"Do you still remember the question you asked me?" Qin Yao asked.
Zhong Kui was stunned: "Which question?"
"The divine body is still the devil's body." Qin Yao reminded him, and then said: "Zhong Kui, you became a devil long before you could transform."
"How is that possible?!" Zhong Kui didn't believe it.
"When we entered the city, the charlatan we met had some good deeds. If you don't believe what I say, you can go to him to see if you are still alive." Qin Yao said calmly.
"You mean Du Ping?" Zhong Kui asked.
Qin Yao nodded slightly: "It seems that he was called by this name. That's how you called him at that time."
"I'll go find him right now." Zhong Kui put on his bamboo hat and stood up and said.
"Wait a minute." Qin Yao stopped him, and a white light suddenly emerged from his palm and penetrated into the other person's body.
As the white light entered his body, Zhong Kui felt as if he had been soaked in a hot spring, and all pain and fatigue disappeared instantly.
After a while, the white light disappeared, the dark veins on his face gradually receded, and his whole person felt relaxed.
"Am I okay?" Zhong Kui asked in surprise as he reached out and touched his face.
"Treating the symptoms but not the root cause." Qin Yao shook his head and said, "Go ahead. Before you completely believe in me, I can only do so much for you."
Zhong Kui was both ashamed and grateful. He cupped his fists and saluted, then strode away.
A quarter of an hour later.
Zhong Kui hurriedly arrived at a medicine house. Du Ping, who was reading medical books, saw his figure and stood up quickly, calling: "Brother."
"Take a look for me." Zhong Kui waved his hand for him to sit down, and he strode to the desk, sat down opposite him, and put his hand on the desk with a bang.
"What are you looking at?" Du Ping looked confused.
Zhong Kui was silent for a moment and said, "See if I'm still alive."
Du Ping burst out laughing and put his finger on the opponent's pulse: "Brother, you are really good at joking. You are standing in front of me, your life... your life is gone!!!"
As he spoke, he jumped up suddenly as if a switch had been touched under his feet, with a look of horror on his face.
Zhong Kui remained silent.
"Big, big, big brother, what's going on?" Du Ping kept swallowing his saliva and asked in panic.
"Don't ask, and don't tell anyone." Zhong Kui stood up and strode out.
It happened that at this time, a young and beautiful girl walked in. When she saw him, she immediately smiled and said: "Brother."
Zhong Kui forced a smile on his face and touched her hair: "Brother, go ahead and get busy."
After that, without waiting for her to say anything else, she left in a hurry.
Zhong Ling was confused, raised his head and asked Du Ping: "Brother is here to see you?"
Du Ping turned pale and stammered: "I just asked me some pharmacological knowledge, saying it was to investigate the case..."
In the blink of an eye, Zhong Kui returned to Uncle Jiu's room and opened his mouth but was speechless.
"Can you trust us now?" Qin Yao asked proactively.
Zhong Kui nodded: "Du Ping said that my life is gone, but I can't understand. I obviously have breathing, heartbeat, and temperature, so why is my life gone?"
Qin Yao: "Didn't I tell you everything? You have become a demon, and demons also have breathing, heartbeat, and temperature."
Zhong Kui was silent for a long time and said slowly: "I don't remember how I came back. I only know that Zhang Daoxian brought me back.
After he came back, he secured an official position in the Protectorate for me and taught me the skills of slaying demons. Until not long ago, he let me enter the demon world...
In other words, the meaning of my existence is to help him steal the demon spirit?!"
Qin Yao did not comment.
Zhong Kui's cheeks twitched slightly, but he did not say the more bloody reality in the second half of the sentence.
Since the meaning of his existence is to steal the demon spirit, then when the demon spirit is stolen, he has no value.
In this case, Zhang Daoxian also transformed him into that ghostly look, which was obviously using waste.
"Please, Taoist Priest, give me advice on where to go?" After a while, Zhong Kui knelt down on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
Qin Yao stretched out his hands to help him up, and said in a solemn voice: "There are two ways, one is to find a place to hide now, and hide until the end of this calamity.
The consequences are either to regain a new life, or to be destroyed along with Hudu under the attack of demons.
The other way is to take the initiative, go to Xue Qing, let her take you to the devil world to find the devil, propose to the devil a fusion and symbiosis, and strive for the initiative."
Zhong Kui looked stunned, his brain shutting down.
After a long time, he gradually cleared up his thoughts and said puzzledly: "I can understand living with the devil and fighting for the initiative. But why should the devil live with me?"
Qin Yao pursed his lips and said, "Because you really have potential in your body."
Zhong Kui:"???"
"To put it simply, the power of the Demon King can fully unleash your potential, so that when the two of you are combined, you can have an effect of one plus one greater than two."
Qin Yao said: "When you two fight alone, no one is Zhang Daoxian's opponent, but together, you have the ability to kill the immortal."
Zhong Kui scratched his head: "I still don't understand, what is the relationship between the two?"
Qin Yao said faintly: "I suspect that the demon spirit is now in Zhang Daoxian's hands, forcing him to a critical moment of life and death, or that the demon spirit will appear after killing him."
Zhong Kui:"……"
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind...
If the demon spirit is not stolen twice, then the demon spirit can only be put into the Demon Suppression Tower under the witness of heaven and all the people.
After the demon spirit is stolen for the second time, it can be transferred from the Demon Suppression Tower to Zhang Daoxian's pocket.
Zhang Dao
"still have a question."
Later, Zhong Kui said solemnly: "Zhang Daoxian has sealed the entire capital city. Only people are allowed in, but not allowed out. How can I get out?"
Qin Yao smiled and said: "Since I have given you these two roads, it means that there is a way to help you leave. This seal is an insurmountable chasm for ordinary people, but for me, it is just a door. , just open it.”
Zhong Kui nodded silently: "Let me think about it..."
Qin Yao waved his hand: "Make a decision as soon as possible. Today is already the fifth day. There is not much time left for you and the devil."
Zhong Kui took a deep breath, bowed, and then strode away.
That night.
Zhong Kui came to a small courtyard overgrown with weeds. Looking at the slightly shabby courtyard, scenes of memories with Xueer kept flashing in his mind.
At that time, he thought he would gain eternal happiness after winning the lottery, but who knew that he would already be at the pinnacle of happiness at that time.
"Xue'er."
He took out Xue'er's portrait from his pocket and hung it on the wall. Zhong Kui murmured softly, his eyes gradually turning red.
"Why are you crying?" The temperature in the room suddenly dropped a few degrees, and the beauty in the painting lightly opened her thin lips.
Zhong Kui slowly raised his head, with no trace of surprise on his face, as if he knew she was here from the beginning: "Take me to the devil world..."
Xue Qing was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears on his face: "I can't go back. The city of Hudu has been placed under a barrier. You can only enter, but not leave."
Zhong Kui raised his hand to cover the back of her cold hand, his eyes determined: "Follow me, someone can take us out of Hudu!"
The sixth day when the demon disappeared.
Zhang Daoxian, with disheveled hair, a sallow complexion, and a sense of dejection all over his body, returned to the Duhu Mansion, took a closer look, turned around and asked a guard, "Where is Zhong Kui?"
The guard shook his head: "Reply to the immortal, I don't know."
"I don't know..." Zhang Daoxian frowned slightly, walked to Uncle Jiu's door, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Xianren Zhang." Uncle Jiu opened the door and called.
"Does Taoist Lin know where Zhong Kui has gone?" Zhang Daoxian asked bluntly.
Uncle Jiu: "I haven't heard of it, and he didn't tell me. What's wrong, Zhang Xianren?"
Zhang Daoxian paused slightly and said, "Zhong Kui is hiding something from us, and I suspect it has something to do with the devil world."
Then you are right to doubt it.
Uncle Jiu slandered, but said solemnly: "You can't, right? He was taught by you, how could he have an affair with the demon world?"
Zhang Daoxian: "..."
This topic can no longer be discussed.
"Where's Taoist Master Qin? He's not in the Protector's Mansion either?" Zhang Daoxian asked in a deep voice, turning to look at the next room.
"He said he was going to buy something, and he just left." Uncle Jiu said without changing his face: "If you want to find him, you can go to the street and have a look."
Zhang Dao
Uncle Jiu heard the mystery in his words and smiled: "I will definitely come back."
Zhang Daoxian nodded, waved goodbye, and turned around to go to the courtroom opposite the gate.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and it was already noon. Zhang Daoxian, who was sitting in the courtroom, became increasingly impatient.
An unsheathed sword is the most intimidating, and the demon world without troops brings the greatest sense of oppression to him.
Under the influence of this oppressive force, his heart could not help but be impetuous, and any waiting would be torture for him.
"Lord Zhong."
"Lord Zhong."
"Brother Zhong..."
After a long time, when he couldn't help but pace around the hall to relieve his mood, calls suddenly reached his ears, which lifted his spirits.
"Zhong Kui, come to the court!"
In the courtyard, the bearded Zhong Kui raised his head following the sound, clenched the long knife in his hand, strode towards the court, stopped at the door and worshiped: "Immortal."
Zhang Daoxian waved to him: "Come on, come in."
Zhong Kui stepped through the door and stared at his feet, as if he didn't dare to look directly at the immortal's gaze.
"Raise your head." Zhang Daoxian said in a deep voice.
Zhong Kui slowly raised his head and asked, "What are the immortal's orders?"
"Where have you been?" Zhang Daoxian suddenly burst out with a powerful aura, which made Zhong Kui's breathing quicken slightly.
"I'm going to look for those Loulan women. There must be something wrong with them."
"Have you found it?" Zhang Daoxian said solemnly.
Zhong Kui shook his head: "I don't know where they are hiding. I haven't found anything yet."
Zhang Daoxian waved, and Zhong Kui's body flew into the air, his neck automatically pressed into his palm: "Tomorrow is the last day, and tonight must be the most dangerous moment. Zhong Kui, my patience has been exhausted, you Why are you still provoking me at this time?"
"I didn't." Zhong Kui struggled to say.
"you have not?"
Zhang Dao .”
"This thing is..." Zhong Kui said with difficulty, holding the handle of the knife with his right hand. As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled out the long knife with his palm and stabbed it into Zhang Daoxian's body with a pop.
Zhang Daoxian suddenly widened his eyes and looked at his chest in disbelief.
What was even more unacceptable to him was that not only was his immortal body penetrated by the blade, but the demonic energy from the blade was even crazily injected into his body, constantly destroying the balance of the immortal energy in his immortal body.
"Bang."
Zhang Daoxian hit Zhong Kui on the chest with his palm, knocking away the long knife that had penetrated his body.
Zhong Kui turned around in mid-air, his body suddenly transformed into the image of a red devil, and his feet hit the ground heavily.
"You are not Zhong Kui!" Zhang Daoxian roared.
"I am Zhong Kui."
The red devil's body suddenly burned with bursts of flames. He reached out and touched the long knife, and the long knife suddenly turned into a fire knife: "Zhang Daoxian, it's time to settle the accounts between us."
"Also, the account between us." Before Zhong Kui finished speaking, a phantom of a demon god suddenly appeared behind Zhong Kui. It was the demon king from the demon world.
"How could you two..." Zhang Daoxian was so shocked that his soul trembled and he couldn't believe his eyes.
"Kill!" Unfortunately, Zhong Kui didn't give him the slightest explanation. He brandished his long sword and charged towards him at top speed.
Zhang Daoxian dragged his injured body to fight with him, and the sound of fierce fighting soon attracted countless onlookers.
But in the face of this level of battle, those ordinary warriors didn't even dare to get close!
After dozens of rounds, Zhang Daoxian, whose wounds kept opening, grew fearful and was about to abandon Zhong Kui and run away. He suddenly caught a glimpse of Uncle Jiu coming towards him from the corner of his eye and hurriedly said: "Taoist Master Lin, help me slay the demon."
Uncle Jiu summoned the Purple Ying Sword with a solemn expression. The human sword merged into one and rushed towards the battlefield at high speed.
But while he was flying, his aim shifted at the last moment, and the fairy sword shining with purple light penetrated deeply into Zhang Daoxian's body and nailed him to the wall.
"You, you guys!"
Zhang Daoxian watched Zhong Kui come to Uncle Jiu's side, his face full of shock and fear.
"puff!"
Zhong Kui still didn't talk nonsense at all. The long knife turned into black light and slashed hard at the immortal's neck. The blade penetrated three inches into the bone, but it failed to cut off the head.
"Ahhhh..." Zhang Daoxian looked up to the sky and roared, and his soul suddenly left his body.
Uncle Jiu took out a golden talisman from his hands and threw it on the soul in front of him.
With a "boom", the talisman and the soul exploded together, and smoke and dust flew everywhere in an instant...
