Exorcism

King Jin counts the time it takes for him to transform into a demon every day—today is the nine hundred and fifty-sixth day. He is not the first spiritual beast to successfully transform into a demon, but he is the most successful. Not only does he have the strongest body, but also the most successful one. He has gained several powerful abilities, and the interval between taking the demon pills is also the longest.

But he still needs those little pills or their substitutes. He can last for six months at most, and then his body will gradually weaken and his abilities will fail.

King Jin cherishes his demon power very much. It is precisely because of his ability to fly and breathe fire that he has become the leader of the spirit demon clan. He is called "King Jin". He is the strongest among the spirit demons and the leader. It is the duty to find a bright path for the tribe: freedom, being a monster for generations, and no longer relying on the monster transformation pills given by the giant monster king.

But the road ahead is so confusing. Most of the spirit beasts were born and grew up in Pangshan and have never seen the outside world. Even the oldest spirit monsters cannot tell what the world is two hundred miles away. What does it look like.

King Jin himself was in desperate need of guidance. He is only six years old and has been a demon for less than three years. When he is angry, he will rise into the sky and spit fire everywhere. Like a child, he will get angry at whatever first comes into his sight, but he will regret it later.

He couldn't get this kind of guidance from other spirit monsters. The spirit monsters respected him and were afraid of him. They also had never seen the world. Their only memories were where the grass was more delicious and how clear the spring water was in the past. matter.

The parents were even less able to help King Jin. The mother died tragically during the process of transforming into a demon, and the little wisdom she gained was used to shed tears for her son. The eldest son was already dead, and she couldn't see how long her younger son could live.

The father was not even a spiritual beast and was not qualified to take the Demon Transformation Pill. He was at a loss to understand everything that happened. He just knelt down beside the mare and whined. He only left two things for his son: maroon fur and a The image of a strange human being.

King Jin transformed into a demon in front of his father. When he showed his human appearance, his father looked delighted and stood up from the ground. In order to maintain his father's joy, King Jin kept changing his form until Lao Ma was completely satisfied. Lao Ma died not long after, and King Jin's human form was fixed, but he rarely appeared.

Ordinary monsters were even less capable. After seeing a large number of spiritual beasts die, King Jin did not believe in any monsters, and his heart was full of hatred. He would rather risk his life to snatch the monster pills than bow his head to beg.

A year ago, King Jin met the dragon demon in this almost desperate state, and the spirit demon was more accustomed to calling her "Mr. Yishi". She said that she was not a demon, but she was not a human either. King Jin never fully believed her, but he learned a lot from her: how to control his own demon power freely, learn how to activate demon pills and more demon skills. skills, and knowledge about the entire world.

Two months ago, the not-so-strong relationship broke down. The experiment on the transformation of spirit beasts into demons has ended, and the giant demon king Qi Wushang has issued an ultimatum. The spirit monsters can either join the army of demons and accept further transformations, or they can fend for themselves and never get the demon transformation pills. The angry spirit demon rushed out of the territory to attack, grabbed some demon-transforming pills, and officially became the enemy of the demon soldiers. From then on, the dragon demon of the different history was no longer welcome.

But a few days ago, the dragon demon came uninvited, holding an unconscious human woman in his arms, "She is Pangshan Taoist priest, you may have seen her."

There are indeed spirit demons who remember Yang Qingyin, but it doesn't matter anymore. The spirit demons once hoped for Pang Shan's rescue when they were in the most painful time, but they never got any news. Now they only have resentment in their hearts, towards all humans and monsters. resentment.

"Taoist Pangshan has never cared about the life and death of spirit beasts. Now that we have turned into demons, why should we help a Taoist Pangshan who is half dead?" King Jin refused to accept Yang Qingyin on behalf of all the spirit monsters.

It had only been more than five years since the Dragon Demon had transformed into a human form. He looked at King Jin and the spirit monsters with eyes that were like looking at a group of ignorant children, full of affection but no respect. "Of course it's very beneficial, otherwise I wouldn't do it." Send her here. The art of transforming demons is far from perfect. You have to take the demon transforming pills again every once in a while. This is your biggest weakness, and the Giant Demon King is not willing to help you solve this problem."

"Can she help us?" King Jin didn't believe it.

"The law is boundless. I only know that if she succeeds in transforming into a demon, she will definitely try her best to solve the problem, and you won't need to ask for help at all."

The Dragon Demon's smile and words were always very convincing. King Jin agreed to accept Yang Qingyin and reluctantly changed into a human form.

Spiritual beasts grow very fast, and King Jin in human form is already a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old. He stood in front of Yang Qingyin at the request of the dragon demon. At first, he was more interested in the dragon demon's complex sorcery, and gradually began to pay attention to the female Taoist priest. Changes in expression.

Shock, confusion, joy, hatred, shyness, fear, begging...

King Jin had never seen such rich expressions on any face. It was like a magic spell in itself. He felt a little sympathy for the Pangshan female Taoist priest and couldn't help but ask: "She didn't just take the chemical..." Yaomaru? There must be other injuries.”

"Sentiment injury." The dragon demon stood behind Yang Qingyin and used many demonic weapons to cast spells. "Taoist priests call it 'emotional calamity'. It could have been hidden in the heart and one day completely eradicated. But the demon pill can let the emotion be eliminated." The calamity struck early."

"Why do you have to cast spells in front of me?"

"The love tribulation and demon transformation cannot be performed at the same time. I can't stop the demon transformation, so I have to suspend her love tribulation, which means removing part of her memory. My spells are not that powerful, so I need to let her see you. Bring out those memories. Oh, you look a lot like the person she likes."

"Mu Xingqiu." King Jin whispered. He remembered this name, but he didn't have much of a good impression of it. He always felt that this Taoist priest had betrayed his father, Lao Zhuangma.

"The Taoist priests' so-called ruthlessness and abandonment of desires is just a kind of hiding, but they have invented thousands of clever hiding methods, which seem to have really cut off the seven emotions and six desires. Occasionally, a certain emotion will burst out suddenly, and the more hidden it is, the more it will be hidden." The deeper, the stronger the rebound. This is the so-called Tao tribulation. Among the hundreds of Tao tribulations, Yang Qingyin used magic to bury it deep in her heart. It is not easy to completely remove it, and she doesn't know if it will happen. Other dangers."

There was no worried expression on the Dragon Demon's face, and he seemed very proud of his magic. "The demon clan doesn't have to go through tribulations, so there is no magic that specifically removes memories. I figured this out myself, and it may not be like Taoism." So safe, but absolutely effective.”

Yang Qingyin was completely in her own world and could not hear the outside sounds. The expression on her face slowly turned into indifference. King Jin became more and more sympathetic to her, "You just said to 'pause' her love affair." , will she relapse?"

"No one can say for sure." The dragon demon could smile at any time and recover all kinds of demon weapons floating in the air. "King Jin, you can return to the form you like. At least she won't be there again for a while. Tortured by Qing Jie, if she can successfully transform into a demon in the next few days - Qing Jie will naturally cease to exist. "

King Jin immediately changed back to Jin Tai Pony, "Will she side with the spirit demon?"

"If successful, she will be the first Taoist priest to transform into a demon, and she has endured a painful process similar to yours. Which side do you think she will be on?"

The dragon demon left, leaving Yang Qingyin among the spirit demons.

King Jin got inspiration from the words of the dragon demon. He led a group of spirit demons to stand in front of Yang Qingyin, waited for her to wake up, and patiently told her the origins of the spirit demons and the pros and cons of the demon-changing pill.

The reaction of the female Taoist priest was better than King Jin expected. Yang Qingyin still remembered most of the things, including how she fell into the trap of the demon clan and was forced to take the demon pill, but she couldn't think about it in detail. There was a huge abyss in her memory. , no matter what she tried to remember, she would go around the edge of the abyss, but just looking into it would make her dizzy.

She can only rely on instinct and intuition to make a decision: she will continue the demon transformation process, make every effort to keep herself alive, and work with the spirit demon to find a complete solution to get rid of her dependence on the demon transformation pill.

Yang Qingyin stayed among the spirit demons. King Jin turned into a human and passed in front of her several times, but the face that once showed almost all human expressions towards him now only remained indifferent, without any emotion at all. King Jin didn't know what it was yet, but he knew that the dragon demon removed not only the memory of a person in the female Taoist priest's heart, but also the most important part of her emotions - this female Taoist priest would no longer have any love at all. Feel.

Such Yang Qingyin is a good thing for the spirit demon. She cannot recall the past in depth, so she has to devote herself to the present and study all aspects of demon transformation. The strange thing is that since the memory was removed, the pain she suffered has been greatly alleviated. Three days later, she figured out the reason, "In the past, I resisted the process of transforming into a demon, but now I voluntarily transform into a demon. The source of the pain is not the transformation." Demon, but the fear of becoming a demon.”

Yang Qingyin was right to the point. Spiritual beasts all have deep fears when they transform into monsters. The higher the death rate, the deeper the fear, and the more painful it is.

Yang Qingyin, who couldn't recall too many things, would often have a small piece of memory pop up inexplicably. Most of them were meaningless, but some were very important. On the fifth day of her stay among the spirit demons, she remembered an important thing: "Summoning." The Taoist Priest from Shan's Alchemy Department told me that he speculated that the main ingredients of the Demon Transformation Pill are special demon pills and demon relics. Why don't we make the Demon Transformation Pill ourselves? There are plenty of improvements to it out there. As for the demonic relics, there must be many buried in the Demonic Land."

The dragon demon claimed that Yang Qingyin would be of great help to the spirit demons, and the promise finally came true. Not all spirit demons were willing to believe her. Some spirit demons who had not been successful in transforming into demons were filled with despair and were unwilling to participate in any more adventures. King Jin believed in Yang Qingyin and even regarded her as a messenger sent by the gods - he learned some legends about the ancient gods from the demon clan, and his belief in them was growing day by day.

On the nine hundred and fifty-sixth day of the successful demon transformation, the weather was sunny, but a violent storm suddenly fell after noon. King Jin took this as a mysterious revelation and decided to lead the spirit demon clan and more than a hundred demon soldier captives to the place where the demons were. Looking for the last hope.

Yang Qingyin was walking among the demons, and she felt like there was a rope behind her. She suddenly turned around and saw endless barren mountains, and the unclean air of chaos in the distance. She tried to think about where this feeling of being tied came from. However, he came to the deep pool in his heart.
