In fact, things were exactly as Jiang Xin thought. The person who became obsessed with people was none other than Yang Cheng, who was haunted by inner demons. But unlike the gossip that spread, he did it on purpose.
The skill of practicing Qi is related to the age, but the cultivation of mental state is not exactly the same.
As you get older and see more things, it may be of some help in cultivating your mental state, but a person's thoughts are the most important.
Take the corpse demon's method of smearing the emperor's room as an example. Even if Lao Tianshi does not use any other spells, he can rely on his hundreds of years of mental state cultivation without being affected by the three corpses at all.
However, in the original work about the development of events in the Tang Sect, there is also a unique example like Tao Tao.
The other disciples of the Tang Sect were all tortured and exhausted by the three corpses that had manifested themselves, but Tao Tao was so quiet in his thirties, which even surprised Zhang Wang and others of the older generation. Even Tu Junfang
There was a moment when the idea of ​​poaching came to mind.
Although he did not dare to take action in the end, it can be seen that Tao Tao is talented in this aspect, and this is a talent that age cannot bring.
Among the younger generation, except for those who have just started practicing Qi, there are only two or three that Yang Cheng can find, and the number of people recognized as having an excellent mentality will shrink again. In the end, Tao Tao became the third
One choice.
But a rather embarrassing thing happened. Even with the will recommendation of other Tang Sect disciples, Tao Tao still didn't think that she had any extraordinary talent in controlling the mood. She just looked at Yang Cheng calmly, a little difficult to start with:
"You may be disappointed. I don't think I have any experience in controlling my mood."
"Take your curious observation ability as an example. Ma Long does it better than me."
"So I said at the beginning that the observation method is only for reference." Yang Cheng added: "What I want to ask is how to transcend one's own thinking at a certain moment and act according to instinct. Jiang Xin and I mentioned the Tang Sect's
Observation is the expression of self-awareness.”
"But if you refer to the concept of Tai Chi's yin producing yin, maybe your Tang Sect's view may also involve the realm I just mentioned at a certain moment."
"The man named Ma Long has very strong powers of observation and can detect almost every thought and flaw in my body. But it is precisely because he has gone too deep into this that he may not be able to sense what I have just said.
That realm I’m talking about.”
"And according to what he said, you may have been involved in this realm. He said that his methods have sometimes failed on you, so you are the most likely candidate."
Hearing what Yang Cheng said, Tao Tao immediately recalled her tragic experience when she followed Ma Long to learn how to capture thoughts, and the corners of her eyes twitched.
But seeing that Yang Cheng didn't seem to know the inner cause of the matter, he couldn't get angry, so he could only nod helplessly after a long cry: "Okay, I'll show you the card, but I'm not sure what I can get.
result."
"No results are needed, just a suggestion." Yang Cheng smiled slightly, and then he released the invisible restraints on his inner demons again. The next moment, like a fierce ghost coming out of the cage, Yang Cheng's gentle Qi breath came over Tao Tao.
His surprised eyes turned violent.
However, the next moment, as if sensing Yang Cheng's thoughts, the originally arrogant inner demon Qi quickly retracted at a faster speed. Although signs of Qi's existence could still be detected, it had weakened by an unknown amount compared to just now.
times.
Sensing the changes in Yang Cheng, Tao Tao's eyes were full of doubts: "What are you doing?"
"This is my inner demon." Yang Cheng also had some helplessness on his face: "It has been following me since I was born as a teenager. Any means can only suppress it to a limited extent but cannot eliminate it."
"And once I try to practice, it will try its best to interfere with me. Just before I came here, I tried to use the power of the inner demon, but failed again at the last moment because of the inner demon, so I wanted to come to you.
.”
"But now you have also seen that it seems to have seen my inner thoughts, but it did not take the initiative to lurk in my mind. I feel that it does not want to destroy me, but is simply causing trouble for me."
After hearing Yang Cheng's explanation, the expression on Tao Tao's face became more and more strange. Even as a disciple of the Tang Sect, Tao Tao had never heard of such a special inner demon.
Ordinary inner demons will always appear suddenly at a certain moment when a person's mind is lost, causing great damage to Qi practitioners and then suddenly disappearing. How could it be so high-profile as the inner demon in Yang Cheng who relied on its own persistence to not disappear.
What's even more rare is that this inner demon has not caused irreparable damage to Yang Cheng himself or even his Qi training foundation. Instead, he has constantly acted as a stumbling block in front of Yang Cheng, which is annoying.
But because inner demons are born in people's hearts, Yang Cheng's own thoughts cannot be effectively obscured in front of the inner demons. Therefore, this inner demon can appear at just the right time to disrupt all Yang Cheng's plans.
"You..." Looking at Yang Cheng's sparse isolation of machines, Tao Tao frowned slightly, and then shook her head with some regret: "I'm afraid I won't be able to give you good help."
The moment she finished speaking, the inner demon that had been dormant rose up again, vigorously encouraging Yang Cheng's energy to rise, and spread towards Tao Tao's position bit by bit, but with Yang Cheng in front of him,
It never succeeds.
But just this action made Tao Tao's eyes twitch slightly, and she immediately had a new guess: "Have you ever thought that this thing is not actually a demon?"
"It's not the inner demon?" Yang Cheng was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "It has almost all the characteristics of the inner demon. The elders in the family have shown it to me countless times and confirmed it so many times before.
I came to the conclusion that I have inner demons.”
"Except for being more active and not actually hurting me, the other behavior is exactly the same as the inner demon."
"That's why I guessed it wasn't the inner demon." Tao Tao raised her head and glanced at Qi Qi, which had gradually retracted under the control of the inner demon: "Has this situation ever happened to you in the village?"
Yang Cheng raised his head and looked at the Qi breath spreading from his body, and then he was slightly startled: "No, except for the first moment, not even once... What do you mean..."
"This thing should be an innate ability of yours, but I don't know why it became like this." Tao Tao touched her chin: "This thing feels more like a dog to me than an inner demon."
"Because you focus on other things to make it unhappy, it makes trouble for you everywhere to attract your attention. The inner demon should be a layer of skin it wears. What does this thing look like like a dog?"
Hearing Tao Tao's words, not only Yang Cheng was a little nervous, but the originally arrogant 'inner demon' also seemed to be stunned. For a moment, he didn't know whether to shrink back or continue to be arrogant, but this very humane move made him more nervous.
This once again confirmed what Tao Tao said.
Because if it was really the inner demon that controlled the heart, this situation would never happen.
"Holy shit!" Looking at the brief stagnant Qi breath on his body, Yang Cheng was so angry that he almost broke his teeth.
In the past ten years, he has spent almost half of his time dealing with the so-called inner demons. He had to work hard to maintain Qi Qi and learn clay sculpture. As a result, until now, this 'inner demon' is not an inner demon, but a mental demon.
his own innate abilities.
He knew about innate abilities. But except for the boy's life recorded in the classics, he had never heard of this kind of innate ability that blindly made trouble for others. But now, he himself is the most typical example.
, and he was deceived for nearly ten years.
If it hadn't been for the fact that he had escaped from the care of the elders in the village these days, this bitch would have been putting on a show for who knows how many more years.
As if it sensed the irritability of Yang Cheng's inner aura, the inner demon retracted for a moment, but as if it had realized something, it became even more irritable, almost pulling out a piece of Yang Cheng's body.
Half of the Qi breath danced in the air, extremely violent.
"Hehe, hehehe..." Looking at this scene, Tao Tao felt that the world was so big and full of wonders: "Now that your problem has been solved, put this thing away quickly, it's too noisy."
As if aware of Tao Tao's unique role in this matter, the inner demon who had always only been "arguing" stopped, and then slapped Tao Tao on the face with a gust of wind.
There was a snap, and Tao Tao couldn't help but look a little confused.
The incident happened suddenly, the distance was too close, and the prelude of the inner demon's attack could not be seen. Even Tao Tao had no time to dodge the inner demon's attack. When he came back to his senses, there was only one person left in front of him.
Yang Cheng had a wry smile on his face.
After many years, she was slapped in the face again in a familiar way. Even with Tao Tao's character, it was unbearable. But the real owner had disappeared, and she couldn't target Yang Cheng, who was also a victim. She could only grit her teeth in hatred.
Take a deep breath and turn around to leave.
Seeing Tao Tao turn around and leave, Yang Cheng opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. His ability slapped others in the face. Even if it was not his intention, it was still a bit embarrassing.
And Yang Cheng's embarrassment means that the 'inner demon' is not embarrassed. On the contrary, it is very proud. Even if it has been locked up again by Yang Cheng, the fluctuations it emits can still be clearly felt.
Sighing, Yang Cheng shook his head. Before he had gone far, he saw Jiang Xin who was already standing outside watching the show. His face darkened again: "When did you come?"
"It didn't take long." Jiang Xin recalled: "It was probably when Tao Tao said you were as capable as a dog, and then your inner demon showed up to her."
"Hiss." After hearing Jiang Xin's words, Yang Cheng took a breath again: "Okay, stop talking."
"Yes." Jiang Xin nodded, and then asked again: "But you should have heard what Tao Tao just said. What are you going to do next?"
"I don't know." Yang Cheng thought for a moment, and finally shook his head: "In the village, no matter whether you have talent or not, you have grown up with clay since childhood, and most of your life's energy has been spent on clay sculptures."
"If I hadn't awakened or if I had only awakened ordinary abilities, maybe there wouldn't be so many things happening now, but now I have encountered the most difficult situation to deal with."
"After so many years, I have been suppressing it and focusing more on the craft of clay sculpture. Now even though I know that it is not a real 'inner demon', time can't save it after all."
"I will try to see if I can communicate well with this thing, but after so many years of inertia, coupled with the bad character shown by this thing, it is not that easy after all."
"But if you master it, it can be a great help to you." Jiang Xin comforted him: "If you think about it a bit, this may actually turn into a good thing."
Yang Cheng sighed: "I know, but if I do this, I'm afraid I will become more and more different from the people in the village."
"How similar are you to them now?"
Yang Cheng was silent for a moment and nodded: "Yes."
A school is a school after all. Even though the Tang Sect is a sect in the alien world, those students have only changed from ordinary language and math studies to working harder to train their bodies and cultivate their character.
What happened to Yang Cheng spread widely, but under the constraints of many teachers, most of the final impact was only verbal, as a kind of after-dinner conversation, and it was obviously unable to affect a wider range, that is, Tang Dynasty
The level of the sect master.
Jiang Xin's appearance in Tangmen obviously surprised Zhang Chulan, but after some thought, he decided not to change his previous plan for the time being, and simply sold out Quan Xing who called him to come to Tangmen.
By the way, he also dug a hole for Wang Zhenqiu, who was stalking him. He also thought about applying eye drops to Jiang Xin, but in the end he gave up the idea.
Although the intelligence collected was not comprehensive, he could also find that Jiang Xin seemed to get along well with people like Tang Clan, and the behavior of the lower levels sometimes reflected the attitude of the upper levels. In this case, caution is necessary
Yes.
Zhang Chulan actually didn't have much curiosity about the Eight Wonders. What he wanted was actually the secret of Feng Baobao, and the vague clues revealed to Zhang Chulan that what happened to Feng Baobao was closely related to Jiashenian.
When it comes to the Jiashen years, the Eight Wonders and Thirty-Six Thieves that caused a sensation in the entire alien world have become an unavoidable issue.
All of a sudden, he was involved in this big thunder that could kill people if he was not careful.
Once this thunder detonates, it will be a trivial matter for Zhang Chulan himself to be affected. If the secret of Feng Baobao's immortality is discovered, the entire alien world may once again set off an uproar.
