Allowing residual thoughts to grow stronger will inevitably become a greater hidden danger in the future.
Shang Xun slowly looked at Gu Yuqi and said, "Relic."
The relics were left behind after the Buddha became a powerful monk. Except for the elders of Yunchan Temple and the presiding committee, no one has such a thing.
Gu Yuqi looked calm after knowing the solution, and nodded slightly after a moment.
Coincidentally, he happened to have one on his body. It was the golden elixir that the Buddhist cultivator had given them to deal with emergencies when they came down, and then integrated into his body to suppress the evil spirit.
Shang Xun said this precisely because he noticed the brief scene of the relic flying out and entering his body.
Tong Yan hid aside to sort out his uncontrollable emotions. He washed his face first, and then rubbed his red and swollen eyes hard from crying. He didn't stop until he felt that his eyes were no longer sore.
Guessing that he was not that embarrassed and could easily see no trace of crying, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to look for Shang and them.
Although she was sorting out her emotions on the side, her ears were not idle and she kept paying attention to their discussion on how to deal with this matter. At this time, when she learned about the Dharma, she interjected: "Sariputra, what the senior Buddhist cultivator just gave us is, wait a moment
How we act."
She said this while looking at Shang Xun. As for Gu Yuqi, she didn't want to turn away. As long as she turned around, her red and swollen eyes would definitely reveal that she had cried.
How embarrassing that is.
When she was venting, she just wanted to cry loudly in a place where no one was around, with people watching in public. As an adult, crying was really embarrassing, and she was not willing to do it even if she was beaten to death.
Just now... I couldn't hold it back.
Shang Xun looked at her and said lightly: "Just watch from the side."
Tong Yan hummed in dissatisfaction. She felt full of disgust. Should she really say that she was her master?
But she didn't refute anything. After all, she also knew that there were two Nascent Soul monks, Master and Gu Yuqi, so she really didn't need to do anything.
Gu Yuqi looked over after hearing the hum, and Tong Yan caught his gaze inadvertently. The emotions in his eyes were deep and complex. She didn't understand any of them, but she felt inexplicably depressed.
Pretending not to deliberately look away, she avoided looking at him, wondering, what was the reason for this sudden guilty conscience?
Gu Yuqi's eyes darkened, and he stared at her red and swollen eyes that he thought were not obvious. He paused for a moment and said something unexpectedly.
"Your eyes are still red."
"..." Tong Yan pursed her lips tightly and resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She tried her best to cover it up. She just didn't want others to see it and also wanted to pretend that she hadn't cried in a very embarrassing way just now.
It's good for him, he just wiped out all her false pretenses with just one sentence, and just...she was speechless.
"You..." She couldn't help but want to say something to him, but when she started to speak, she felt that she didn't want to say it anymore. After you said the word, there was nothing more to say.
Crying is also strenuous. She was tired.
Seeing that Tong Yan was getting sulky because of Gu Yuqi's words, Shang Xun found it funny for a moment. His young apprentice was a face-saving person.
He opened his mouth to correct the topic, "The relic has been integrated into your body. You need to take the lead in this matter. I will assist you and resolve this matter as soon as possible."
Gu Yuqi withdrew his gaze and said, "I know."
What happened after that, the cooperation between two people went smoothly. It was not realistic to completely purify the turbid air. What they did was to break up the gradually solidifying shadow again and delay the time before it became a hidden danger.
When everything came to an end, Shanshan, the Buddhist cultivator sent by Yunchan Temple, came.
Because I had met the master uncle in the temple before coming down, I was not surprised to see Tong Yan and his fellow Buddhist practitioners here, but I was just confused about why they were now three people.
But regardless of whether it was two or three people, he had to take them out and couldn't leave them here.
After checking the sealing formation on his own and finding that there was no problem, the Buddha led the three of them directly out of the Dragon Prison Tower.
It was midnight outside the tower when they came out, and the bright moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the ground.
Because he wanted to report to the master, the Buddhist cultivator left in a hurry as soon as he came out. At this time, there were only three of them outside the tower.
Since finding Shang Xun, Tong Yan has been following him obediently. Seeing that it was getting late, he suggested: "Master, there is an inn at the bottom of the mountain. Let's go and rest for a night before setting off."
Shang Xun naturally had no objection, nodded slightly, and walked down the mountain.
Passing by Gu Yuqi, Tong Yan paused slightly, stopped and said, "Don't be in a hurry, let's go together?"
Gu Yuqi raised his eyelids and looked at her without saying anything as he walked up the bluestone road on the tower.
Tong Yan bit her lip lightly and looked at his leaving figure without knowing what she was thinking. She stood there for a while before starting to follow him.
…
It didn't take them too much time to go down the mountain to the town to book a room. After Tong Yan finished washing, he lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
After lying hard for half an hour without feeling sleepy, the bored Tong Yan suddenly got up and sat up from the bed. After putting on his clothes haphazardly, he left the room and tiptoed outside Shang Xun's room.
He knocked twice tentatively and called out in a low voice, "Master, are you asleep?"
The volume was almost like whispering. It was funny to say that she was afraid that the loud noise would disturb the people in the house, so she would knock on the door in the middle of the night when people were resting. If she said she came to talk to someone at night, she would keep the sound very low.
, almost making the shouting inaudible to those inside.
Before she finished speaking, the people in the room responded quickly, as if they were waiting for her, "Come in."
Tong Yan was startled by the unexpected quick answer, then he opened the door softly and poked his head in, "Master, you're still awake so late~"
In the room, Shang Xun was sitting at the table, drinking tea in a leisurely manner. When he saw Tong Yan's head creeping in, he said in an unhappy tone, "Why are you hiding? If you don't come in, you'll go back to sleep."
"I won't be able to sleep if I don't go back." Tong Yan flattened his mouth, closed the door after entering, and sat down opposite Shang Xun.
She lay lazily on the table and asked the person opposite, "Master, where have you been these years."
Shang Xun paused while drinking tea, then looked at Tong Yan gently, then back at the steaming tea in his cup, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he said nothing for a long time.
In another room, when he heard the first door open, Gu Yuqi opened his eyes, his gaze focused somewhere, and all his attention was focused on the footsteps outside.
Not long after, two more doors opened and closed, and silence returned to the corridor.
There was no sound of footsteps as she entered.
Gu Yuqi suddenly tightened his fingers, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.
In the middle of the night, a man and a woman are alone in the same room. Even if they are master and apprentice, they should avoid suspicion.
What's more, that man, using the name of her master, had impure thoughts towards her. Didn't she notice at all?
He resisted the urge to break into the house and take the person out. They were master and apprentice, and their relationship was closer than his own. He had no position at all.
Gu Yuqi's brows were stern, he closed his eyes again, calmed down, hugged Yuan Shouyi, and slowly mobilized the power in the relics to adjust his breath.
Even though the relics in his body had the effect of clearing his mind and calming his energy, he still felt that there was infinite anger rising in his heart at this moment.
The most powerful thing about demonic energy is that it will invade your thoughts and influence your behavior little by little without you noticing.
Those who are close to ink are black, nothing more than that.
Gu Yuqi was not a murderer, but he had been infiltrated by this demonic energy for a long time, and the hostility in his heart had grown like overgrown weeds. As a result, his temperament sometimes became irritable and irritable, sometimes cruel and bloodthirsty.
Sometimes it is difficult for him to completely control some extreme behaviors.
If he is not adjusted and channeled in time, this will definitely become the driving force behind his complete transformation into a devil.
