Xu Jingming was sitting in the small courtyard when he suddenly heard a "dong dong dong" knock on the door.
"Master." A voice came from outside.
Xu Jingming then stood up, went to pull the wooden bolt, and opened the courtyard door. Outside the door was a man with a slight hunchback. His hair was disheveled. His eyes looked at the surroundings through the disheveled hair, making the surroundings seem cold.
A few points.
But when he looked at Xu Jingming, his eyes were much warmer.
"Young Master." The hunchbacked old servant shouted. "Seventh Uncle." Xu Jingming said.
The closest person to Chen Qi in this world is the old servant ‘Uncle Qi’. Uncle Qi’s full name is ‘Wu Qi’. He is the housekeeper brought by Chen Qi’s mother from her natal family! He is loyal and has been with us for so many years.
He has been serving this young master Chen Qi.
If it weren't for Wu Qi, Chen Qi's life in the Chen family would probably be much more difficult.
"Master, there is something I have to tell you." The hunchbacked old servant Wu Qi said solemnly.
"What's the matter?" Xu Jingming asked.
"I often go to visit Miss's grave, remove weeds, and repair and maintain the cemetery." Wu Qi's eyes were cold, "But I discovered that yesterday the Chen family actually sent someone to dig out Miss's coffin and prepare to move the grave."
"Moving the tomb?" Xu Jingming's face changed slightly. He felt that the obsession in his mind immediately became much stronger, even a little crazy.
"The Wu family caused a big trouble. The Chen family was afraid of being implicated, so they tried their best to distance themselves from each other." Wu Qi nodded, "But I didn't expect that the Chen family would be so ruthless. The young lady has been dead for more than ten years, and they actually
Even the graves have to be moved."
"Young master, don't worry. In the past two days, I have asked the master to re-select the treasure land so that the young lady can be buried in peace." Wu Qi said.
"Thanks to Uncle Qi."
Xu Jingming felt the surging obsession in his mind. "Is this the remaining obsession in the body after coming to the world of demon-slaying?" Xu Jingming learned before coming in that the world of demon-slaying was originally created to hone and improve 'spiritual awareness', so
The original body that comes to be possessed will still have obsessions.
"Chen Qi's obsession is..."
Xu Jingming felt very clearly, "Get ahead! Be famous! Make his father and the Chen family regret it! If you beg him to go back, he will never go back again."
You can't act against your 'obsession'. The more you violate it, the more serious the backlash from your obsession will be, and it's normal for you to eventually become schizophrenic and go crazy.
Fortunately...this obsession is not difficult.
It is impossible for him to please the Chen family. Just knowing everything now makes Xu Jingming dislike the Chen family. In order to fulfill his obsession, he will do things beautifully.
Once your mind is firm, your obsessions will immediately become calmer and calmer.
"Uncle Qi." Xu Jingming said, "Today Chen Shi'an gave me one hundred taels of silver, forcing me to leave the Chen family and let me go out to fend for myself."
"Just one hundred taels?" Wu Qi couldn't help but said. Xu Jingming nodded.
Wu Qi gritted her teeth and said: "The dowry that the young lady brought, as well as the silver taels earned for the Chen family over the years, have all become the Chen family's! The eight thousand taels of silver that the young lady left for you before she died, your father Chen Shi'an said in front of the young lady
He also swore that he would give it to you when you turn eighteen, but he keeps delaying it, and now he gives you a hundred taels and lets you go out and fend for yourself?"
Wu Qi is so angry.
Not worth it for the lady!
"I don't want these one hundred taels." Xu Jingming said, "Let's pack up and leave the Chen family today."
Wu Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Okay, young master, no matter where you go, the old servant will always follow you. And the young lady also realized Chen Shi'an's nature back then, so she hid five thousand taels of silver with me! I have been giving you
The young master has kept it well."
Xu Jingming was slightly startled.
Did Chen Qi's mother, who died, actually retain a hand? "Before I got married, I only met Chen Shi'an twice. She looked good and had a good reputation. Who would have thought that it was all Chen Shi'an's disguise." Wu Qi shook her head,
"Well, now that we leave the Chen family, whether we are in Bai County or going to other places, with this money and old servants, the young master will definitely be able to live a good life."
"Okay." Xu Jingming nodded, "Pack your things first." "You also need to bring some of the lady's belongings with you," Wu Qi said.
Soon, after packing some simple clothes and other items, Xu Jingming and Wu Qi left together.
Xu Jingming and Wu Qi passed through the courtyard gates and walked along the corridors. On the way to some courtyard guards, the maids saw Xu Jingming and Wu Qi carrying packages, and they were a little confused.
When walking to the front yard.
"Chen Qi!" An angry shout sounded.
Xu Jingming turned around and saw a young man with an arrogant look on his face, accompanied by some subordinates. He pointed at Xu Jingming and shouted: "You and your old servant are carrying packages, are you planning to leave?"
Are you opening the Chen family?"
Xu Jingming didn't say much and continued walking out. "Stop!"
The young man shouted coldly, "You two are carrying packages secretly. Who knows if you have stolen my Chen family's belongings? Someone, check their packages!"
"Chen Shuwen." Xu Jingming looked at him, "It's too much."
"I'm afraid that the Chen family's belongings will be stolen by you. Go ahead and check their packages." The young man ordered. As the grandson of the patriarch, Chen Shuwen has much more power in the Chen family than Chen Qi.
As soon as he gave the order, the nursing staff immediately came forward to take action by force.
"roll!"
The hunchbacked old servant "Wu Qi" who had been standing behind Xu Jingming suddenly stepped forward. With a shout, the sword at his waist was unsheathed and disappeared in a flash! The five nursing staff who were approaching flew away.
go.
These nurses fell to the ground, vomiting blood, and were filled with disbelief. They could not stop them just now.
If you block it, the back of the knife will be swept across their chests, and they will fly out.
Chen Shuwen couldn't believe it: "Why is this old servant so powerful?"
Xu Jingming watched this scene and thought to himself: "Wu Qi's sword skills must be considered to be at the top level. The actual combat bonus is estimated to be about 30 times." His eyes were so vicious that he judged the strength of this sword.
"You old hunchback..." Chen Shuwen couldn't believe it. At this time, Chen Shi'an finally arrived after receiving the news.
Wu Qi glanced at Chen Shuwen and Chen Shi'an indifferently, and said: "Next time I draw a sword, it won't be the back of the sword."
This frightened the five nursing staff.
Yes, if I had used the blade just now, all five of them would have been dead.
"Second uncle." Chen Shuwen gritted his teeth and said, "Look, Chen Qi and his old servant were sneaking out of the Chen family with packages on their backs. I asked people to check their packages, and this old hunchback actually injured several nursing staff.
"
Chen Shian narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xu Jingming: "Chen Qi, I just slapped you, you have to leave today
Already?
"The one hundred taels of silver you gave is in the house." Xu Jingming said.
"You don't want a hundred taels?" Chen Shi'an said with a smile, "You have some backbone! Wu Qi, when you followed my wife to the Chen family, you have been my Chen family's servant for so many years! How could you leave without my permission?"
Chen Shian was also secretly surprised.
After all these years, you haven't discovered that Wu Qi is so powerful?
"Servant of the Chen family?" Wu Qi sneered, "Does the Chen family have a deed of prostitution for me? When the young lady got married, she tore up my deed of prostitution with her own hands. On the first day I came to the Chen family, I
He is free! He has never been a servant of your Chen family."
"Chen Qi, after you leave the Chen family, you will no longer be part of the Chen family." Chen Shuwen shouted, "Don't use the name of the Chen family to deceive you outside."
"Chen family?" Xu Jingming glanced around, "I'll make it clear here today. From now on, my... surname will no longer be Chen! I have nothing to do with your Chen family anymore."
After saying that, Xu Jingming took Wu Qi and walked out the door, and no one from the nursing home dared to stop him.
Chen Shuwen and Chen Shian watched the two of them leave.
"Second uncle, what a disaster. "Chen Shu is right again. Chen Qi really left the Chen family obediently."
"I am also doing this for my family."
Chen Shi'an shook his head, "For the sake of the family, of course I have to give up this son. Just pretend that I never gave birth to this son." He turned around and left.
Soon, Chen Shi'an arrived at Chen Qi's residence. "Huh?"
Chen Shi'an saw a bag of silver placed on the table in the room, "You really didn't take away the one hundred taels of silver? You are as stubborn as his mother! This one hundred taels is enough for me to drink flower wine several times."
As he spoke, he hummed a tune, picked up a bag of silver and left.
"Wu Qi, that hunchback, has such strength?" The old patriarch of the Chen family frowned slightly when he heard the news, "It's a pity, it's a pity.
It cannot be used by my Chen family. That little girl from the Wu family actually tore up Wu Qi’s contract of prostitution a long time ago. She really doesn’t care about my Chen family!"
The old patriarch of the Chen family had cold eyes.
"Dad." Chen Shuwen said, "What should we do next?"
"The news has been released to the outside world that Chen Qi has run away from home! Anyone who publicly declares to have severed ties with the Chen family is no longer named Chen." The old patriarch of the Chen family said, "He is the one who wants to cut ties with the Chen family. We have removed him from the family tree, which is what we should do."
Already."
"Originally, we had to go through a lot of trouble to draw up a family tree, but now we have figured it out." The old patriarch of the Chen family smiled softly.
Chen Shuwen nodded.
fire fire*fire fire*
Bai County, a secluded residential house.
"Master, I usually go out and stay here occasionally." Wu Qi unlocked and opened the door, "Although it's not big, it's still clean. Master, I'll settle for now. After a day or two, I'll
Let’s rent a bigger place.”
"No, I think it's fine."
Xu Jingming looked at it and was quite satisfied.
And he didn't plan to stay in Bai County for a long time. He also wanted to go to the Qi family in Cheng'an Prefecture City to find the demon-slayer 'Qi Xiao'. This was something Senior Brother Chitong asked him to help with, and he even paid the reward.
Naturally, he had to get it done as soon as possible.
"The young master has grown up." Wu Qi was quite happy to see his young master's appearance. He was also worried that the young master would be too stimulated. "Young master, please rest first. I will buy some food and come back."
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Uncle Qi." Xu Jingming said.
Wu Qi, because he was a little beggar adopted by the Wu family, his exact age is unknown, but he should be about the same age as Chen Qi's mother, because he was only a teenager when he first entered the Wu family.
By estimation, he is around forty years old.
"You're around forty years old, and you've obviously seen a lot of vicissitudes of life." Xu Jingming secretly said, then entered the house and placed the many items in the package.
Night falls.
Xu Jingming rested in the main room.
"It's time to practice the secret method of subduing demons." Xu Jingming sat cross-legged on the bed.
In the world of demon-suppressing, countless mortals are just soil, and the most powerful ones are demon-suppressing humans and demons.
Demons are born due to human obsession, attracting the demonic energy of heaven and earth. As long as the obsession does not dissipate, the demon will never die! So even if the demon's body is defeated, everything seems to be annihilated. But the demon still needs to be destroyed.
Obsession', the process of destroying obsession is the spiritual refining of demons'.
Or, the mind of the person who subdues the demon is stronger, completely destroying the demon's obsession, and causing the demon to dissipate.
Or, the demon is more powerful, the demon refining fails, and the person who subdues the demon is mentally traumatized!
"So in the world of demon-slaying, it is very dangerous to conquer demons." Xu Jingming thought, "If he is not strong enough and is killed, then it will cost another 100 million to re-establish an account."
Dying once is worth 100 million cosmic coins. "Even for an eighth-level starry sky being, the price of dying once will be very distressing." Xu Jingming thought, "Even if you defeat the devil, you will be defeated by the devil when you are refining it."
If the obsession is defeated... then the soul will be hurt, and the consequences will be more serious! Like Brother Chitong, who has the inheritance of the Yuanchu Star Conjecture, spiritual awareness
Injury requires five years of recuperation, and injuries to the mind and consciousness of ordinary eighth-level starry sky beings are usually more severe."
Every eighth-level starry sky life has a strong ability to make money!
It's just that most of their time needs to be spent on the 'evolution path' or the affairs of their hometown civilization, and the time and energy they can really use to make money is limited.
So they felt a little distressed about the 100 million universe coins.
Of course, every eighth-level life in the starry sky is not willing to encounter such trouble as "injury to the soul and consciousness". This is much greater than the price of "100 million cosmic coins".
"There are two steps to defeating a demon."
"First, kill the demon head-on. Second, refine the demon with your mind and destroy the demon's obsession. These two steps are more difficult and dangerous than the last." Xu Jingming thought, "But first, you must have the strength to conquer the demon."
"Senior Brother Chitong passed down the thirty-two secret techniques. Among them, two are based on the "Yuanchu Star Conjecture Light Chapter", namely "The Great Sun Conquering Demons" and "The Demon Refining Scroll of Ten Thousand Stars".
"I originally had a deep understanding of "The Light Chapter", and the one that most closely matches my understanding is "The Demon Refining Scroll of Ten Thousand Stars"."
Xu Jingming nodded slightly.
"Then in the world of subduing demons, I will use the "Ten Thousand Stars Demon Refining Scroll" as the core method."
Closing his eyes, Xu Jingming began to use his spiritual power to slowly spread to the roof, touching the moonlight above the nine heavens. "Using his mind to leverage the power of the twelfth yin, and then through the transformation of the tens of thousands of stars in the body, he cultivated the lunar power and cast it."
Foundation.”
Xu Jingming thought to himself, "This is very similar to using the mind to leverage the source power of the universe in reality! It's just that compared to the power of the moon and the source power of the universe... there is a huge difference."
Over time, the power of the mind induces wisps of Taiyin power to enter the body, which are transformed layer by layer in the body, and finally turn into Taiyin mana!
When a drop of cold Taiyin mana was born, Xu Jingming's absorption of Taiyin power suddenly increased.
On the roof, the rays of the sun continued to fly through the roof tiles, into the house, and poured into Xu Jingming's body.
In the courtyard.
Wu Qi was sitting at the stone table. Suddenly he sensed something and saw a layer of brilliant moonlight on the roof. The moonlight was as rich as water and was constantly penetrating the roof tiles.
"This is..." Wu Qi trembled, extremely surprised, "Inspire the power of heaven and earth and cultivate the magical power?"
"Master, is the master practicing the secret technique of subduing demons?" Wu Qi could not suppress his excitement.
"Miss, have you seen it? The young master has obtained a secret and became a demon-slayer." Wu Qi had tears in his eyes.
