Chapter 112: The Demon Head Takes Charge

  "Ah! Liang Xin suddenly exclaimed and shouted: What's wrong with Xiao Yu?"

  Kaito's "Ganseki" can harm enemies, but also backlash against its master.

  Ordinarily "evil eyes and wicked hands". Was sealed by a secret method, but this seal, only the first time is most effective, can completely suppress this evil force.

  The second time it was sealed, only 80% of the power of "Yizhi Shou" could be contained. The remaining 20% would continue to flow and slowly destroy the host's body. Now, Xiaoyu, although not yet at the end of his lifespan, has no more than a year left to live.

  Liang Xin finally understood why Xiaotang had said that when facing a master, she could only end up in mutual destruction, rather than fighting to a draw.

  After the fierce battle in Jie Ling Town, Xiao Quan was still cold and icy, but towards Liang Xin, he had lost that kind of indifference that kept people at arm's length. Who knows that they only have one year left to live, probably no one would or dare to be so reckless with themselves!

  Liang Xin's face was uncertain, constantly calculating. Shi Lin, although an ordinary person, said a sentence "Hand and eye are connected to the sky". Not exaggerating at all, even he was helpless, it can be seen that Xiao Quan's injury is serious. Speaking of saving people, he really knew a clever and mysterious great witch doctor.

  As soon as he thought of Da Si Wu's half-dead appearance, Liang Xin's heart sank. Last time, it was just a coincidence that he had an empty bottle by his side, and Da Si Wu agreed to save Qing Mo. But this time, what could he use to exchange for Xiao Yu's life?

  Liang Xin shook his head resolutely, wanting to shake off the annoyance. He had originally planned that once the trial was over, he would immediately rush to the grasslands to see Qing Mo. Whatever happened, he would wait until he saw Da Si Wu before speaking.

  Perhaps, the cold and icy black-robed Si Wu, upon seeing the chilly white-clothed Xiao Quan, had a surge of love in his heart and offered to help for free.

  "Maybe by the time we get to the grasslands, Dry Dad will have recovered from his exhaustion and beaten up Da Si Wu, then Da Si Wu will happily agree to save people." Thinking of this, Liang Xin couldn't help but laugh. Whatever it is, let's talk about it when we meet in person. As long as there's hope, there's a way to make it happen.

  Liang Xin smiled, not very nicely: "Let Xiao Yu follow me, I'll try to think of a way."

  Shilin nodded and immediately changed the subject: "Those two wandering ghosts, they know about Feng Shui, can't be kept here."

  Liang Xin was startled and shook his head: "I'll take it away, I guarantee that the Feng Shui matter won't be leaked out, let's drop it."

  Shilin seemed to have known what he would say, and smiled slightly: "Then follow you, actually, the two people who know things are very heavy, staying behind may not be a bad thing!" Not only did Tongtianyan and Zhongtu Fengshui, Zhuang Buzhou and Song Gongjian were also survivors of the Tongchuan disaster. At that time, Mr. Dongyuan's "Xianhuo" they had heard clearly.

  It's also unknown if it's the accumulation of virtue from ancestors, but in a life of confusion and uncertainty, any matter that is casually brought up will lead to pursuit and silencing by the imperial court and the cultivation of the true way!

  When it comes to Mr. Dongli's "Xianhuo", Shilin asked Liangxin: "The dozens of cases on the Xiuzhen Tao that Dongli made public, what do you think?"

  Liang Xin shook his head. Since Tongchuan was destroyed, he had been busy running around for Qingmo and two sworn brothers, and hadn't thought about this matter at all. However, due to these cases, Nanyang and Langya, he had lost a good impression of the Xiu Zhen sect's orthodoxy and heterodoxy.

  "I have no intention of slandering Lord Liang, you must understand that! However, Lord Liang's arrangement to use Xuan Hejing to provoke this calamity is somewhat biased. In the past, the war between good and evil caused the people of the Central Plains to suffer greatly. If the cultivation world were to become chaotic again now, it would be no better than the disaster of that year! The Great Flood has brought peace and prosperity to the world, and all the ordinary people ask for is to continue living in this way, please don't stir up trouble!"

  Shilin sighed again: "Lord Liang's methods are boundless, perhaps he has a way to make the monks infight without implicating the mortal world, but neither of us have such skills."

  After finishing speaking, Shi Lin's eyes were fixed on Liang Xin: "So, about the matter of Xian Huo, you must give me an explanation, only then can I be at ease."

  To be honest, Liang Xin was the first to think about this matter carefully. He was indignant about the cultivators' disregard for mortal life and death, but he also felt uneasy about Xuan He's casual killing of cultivators. After pondering for a moment, he slowly opened his mouth: "Cultivators never care about mortal life and death, what do you think?"

  "The power of cultivators far surpasses that of ordinary people, and they have eliminated worldly emotions. They don't consider ordinary people as human beings not because they look down on them, but because they no longer consider themselves as human beings either. It's like how ordinary people slaughter cows and sheep without hesitation, or step on an anthill without a second glance - it's the same principle."

  Liáng Xīn narrowed his eyes, his eyebrows furrowed: "How could you think that too?"

  "What am I supposed to think then?"

  "Communication. Because we can communicate, it's not that great." Liang Xin's face looked terrible: "If cows and sheep could speak in your hometown accent, chatting and laughing with you, if ants saw you approaching and warned you to be careful, what would you do?"

  Shilin was taken aback at first, then took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes.

  Li Xing's voice was low and solemn: "I don't have much insight, but I think that cultivators comprehending the Tao and ordinary people reading books and practicing martial arts are all considered to be making progress. Seeking immortality and cutting off worldly emotions, not considering oneself as human is also understandable. However, you can't not consider others as human! Cultivators aren't born from stone cracks, they're also born to parents, the first milk they drank was given by their mother, the first words they spoke were taught by their father, and the first book they read was pointed out by their teacher. Even if we don't consider these things, after cultivators practice the Tao, they don't need to eat or sleep anymore, but who built those 'immortal' pavilions? Who mined the copper and iron for their magical artifacts? Who wove the fabric of their clothes? Which one of the incense sticks, statues, meditation cushions, tables, chairs, and stools in the temple didn't come from the hands of ordinary craftsmen?"

  Saying that, Liang Xin paused for a moment until Shi Lin nodded before continuing: "Cultivating the truth. That's right. But after cultivating the truth, one mistakenly thinks they're superior to others, which is wrong. Severing worldly emotions can be forgiven if there are feelings involved. However, what was severed wasn't just worldly emotions, but also true emotions, and that's a grave mistake!"

  "Reality? What a fascinating phrase. Reality is that the cultivator is still in the mortal world, but he himself refuses to admit it!"

  Liang Mu nodded: "Not bad, this is indeed the truth."

  Shilin sighed, his hands behind his back and his chest puffed out, his face cold and unhidden: "So what? You want to pursue Mr. Liang's will, no matter what, and destroy the cultivation path? Even if it means the mortal world is destroyed and the whole world is in chaos!"

  But unexpectedly, Liang Xin shook his head: "It's not that either. Cultivators view ordinary people as insignificant and worthless, which is also wrong; but ordinary people treating cultivators like insects and killing them at will is also incorrect. In the end, if they can communicate with each other, then there are no cows, sheep, ants or other lowly creatures, just people!"

  After finishing, Liang Xin smiled: "It's too far-fetched, I'm going to see Qingmo, I want to think of a way to save Yu, can't take care of anything else now, Dongli Mr. 's calamity. Don't worry, he told me at the time that they moved the mountain for my family's ancestors, and my family's ancestors moved the mountain for the people of Zhongtu!"

  "What did you just say?!"

  Liáng Xīn burst out laughing: "Anyway, this matter of the fairy calamity, I still haven't thought it through. I promise you, if one day I figure it out, before doing anything, I will definitely come find you to discuss it first."

  Shi Lin didn't say anything else and called his subordinates to start arranging Liang Xin's itinerary.

  Liang Xin returned to his adoptive father and two sworn brothers, first quietly briefing them on what had happened in the grand hall. He then changed the subject, recounting everything that had happened since he left the mountain, including the details of Qing Mo's injury. Of course, he didn't dare mention that Qing Mo liked Liu Yi.

  Qu Qing's entire body was emitting a fierce aura, his eyes gleaming with a sinister light. He shook his head and let out a long sigh: "I can only hope that Da Si Wu really has the ability to save people!"

  Liu Yi An comforted: "We brothers are all serving in Duanzhou, who doesn't know that the shamans of the grasslands are mysterious? Da Si Wu agreed to take action, no problem!"

  The two sworn brothers were acquitted and reinstated to their original positions, and they also got a two-month vacation. This time, they naturally went with Liang Xin to see Qingmo together.

  A few people were chatting, and Hei Bai Wu Chang and Xiao Yu arrived. Another group, together with Liang Xin, had been fighting all the way from Tu Jizhou, and finally the remaining six deaf Qing Yi also arrived. Following Shi Lin's orders, the six Qing Yi led by Xiong Da Wei followed Liang Xin afterwards.

  Liang Xin was both surprised and delighted, while Qu Qing Shi reunited with his old comrades, of course, there were also some whispers.

  Black and white, as usual, greeted this one, asked for peace from that one, and kept making polite noises in front of everyone. Others found the two annoyingly chatty, but only Old Man Gan looked displeased, frowning and constantly scanning their faces with his eyes.

  Under the gaze of Lao Mo Tou, the two shopkeepers' smiles became increasingly stiff, and their eyes began to wander aimlessly. Suddenly, Jiang Zhan let out a cold hum, his hands shot out, and he quickly tapped a few times on their foreheads.

  Only to hear the two men simultaneously let out a blood-curdling scream, and immediately their entire bodies began to convulse, a layer of dark greenish-black color spreading visibly from their skin, in just an instant, the two people had completely transformed into a pair of deathly pale corpses!

  Liáng Xīn never thought that his adoptive father would suddenly take action and kill someone, unable to stop him, he stood there in shock.

  Liu Yì looked on, shivering with fear, and hastily squeezed to the side, trying to get away from them. With a bitter smile, he said to Jiāng àn: "Old master, have they offended you? They're going to take their lives."

  Jiang coldly smiled and shook his head: "It wasn't me who hurt them, it was that they had been accompanied by ghosts for tens of years, and were already infected with yin energy without realizing it. I just stirred up the yin energy in their bodies to see if there's still a chance to save them." He paused, then continued: "The last time I saw them at the Commander's tent, I felt something was off, but at that time, there were more pressing matters, and I didn't have time to care about them."

  He's as pale as a dead man, but his senses are still intact and he hasn't lost consciousness. His whole body is icy cold and stiff, like being frozen in an ice block. Upon hearing the words, he was so frightened that his soul flew out of his body, yet not a single word could be asked from him.

  An Qi shook his head again: "The evil energy has penetrated deeply, the disease has entered the marrow of the bones, I am unable to save him. However, Da Si Wu on the grasslands, who cultivates the funeral gate sorcery, may have a way!"

  Liang Xin heard this and became more determined, and also decided to send two more people to see a doctor!

  After a while, the big car was ready. There were three horse-drawn carriages in total. Xiao Quan rode one by himself, Hei Bai Wu Chang rode another one, and Liang Xin's father and son, along with his two brothers, rode the third one. Six deaf servants in green robes followed on horseback.

  Although there was no task at hand, the six deaf and dumb young men still moved in unison, one scouting ahead three miles away, another two miles behind cutting off any retreat, while the remaining four guarded the sides. The group set off on their journey, heading north towards the grasslands.

  After Ai Cui's situation, An Sheng furrowed his brow and sank into deep thought, remaining silent for a long time.

  Liu also chimed in from the side: "Just cut off that arm, it's better than losing your life! Losing an arm is a small price to pay!" As he spoke, he proudly swung his own severed arm.

  "Cut the crap! This girl's got the power of the evil eye, and although it's only in her left hand, its strange power can move around her whole body. Just cutting off her hand won't work!"

  Immediately, a thoughtful expression reappeared on Jiang's face: Xiao Yu's problem lies in the power of his eyes, which is fond of killing and fighting, and wants to seize everything! This force sees everything as something to be seized, even the master's body is not an exception. To cure it, we need to find a way to separate this evil force from Xiao Yu's body." As he spoke, Jiang shook his head, understanding the theory but unable to think of a practical solution that wouldn't harm Xiao Yu.

  Liu Yijian saw that everyone was silent, so he chuckled and changed the subject, chatting idly about everything under the sun. Of course, what he talked about most was how he had been captured by Guoshi and remained unyielding, fiercely denouncing the evil monk for misleading the country. According to his account, on Da Hongtai, Liang Xin didn't even need to lift a finger; with just one mouth, he could make Guoshi Qilin and Qianhuang speechless, and in front of the Yu Xiaxiu monks, he would have been able to create a new path by himself.

  The old devil head laughed loudly and patted Liang Xin's shoulder, saying: "Sit opposite me, I have something to say."

  Four people were originally sitting in pairs, but now they became three brothers sitting in a row facing the opposite bank. The sheep's horn crisp, which had been sleeping with its butt up in the old devil's arms, also rubbed its sleepy eyes and jumped over to sit in a row with the three brothers.

  "Yan finally spoke slowly: 'Liu Yi, Qu Qing Shi, you are the elder brothers of Mo Dao Er. In terms of seniority, I am considered a senior. Now, there is something that Lao Tou Zi wants to make clear to you!'"

  Liang Xin's heart was filled with joy, thinking that his adoptive father's abilities were unparalleled and astonishing. Now that he had also surpassed the two sworn brothers, it went without saying that there would be great benefits to come.

  Three brothers stood upright with a straight back, sat properly and seriously, nodded their heads in unison, indicating that they would continue to the other side.

  The old devil first glanced at Liang Xin, then looked towards Qu Qing Shi, but finally fixed his gaze on Liu Yi's face, saying in a deep voice: "Not only you three brothers, but also the little girl named Qu Qing Mo on the grassland, who grew up with Mochi and almost lost her life to save him. Her affairs will be taken care of by me. Although I haven't met her yet, she is already my Qing Mo'er!"

  Qu Qing's expression was bewildered, Liu Yi's face was also perplexed, but Liang Xin had already guessed what the old man wanted to say and was so frightened that he opened his mouth to stop him. He scolded Quan loudly: "Shut up!" His eyes were still fixed on Liu Yi: "Do you know, my Qingmo, has liked you since childhood, a small heart is all tied to your body, at the moment of death, I just want to see you!"

  Liu Yi's first reaction was: Is this said for Lao San? Why is the old man staring at me, can't he look away?

  At this time, Lao Mo Tou suddenly asked: "Liu Yi, are you married?"

  Liu Yi's mind buzzed with a sound, and he subconsciously shook his head.

  "Yao, I heard from Mo Dao that Qingmo has a gentle appearance and impressive skills. As for her identity and abilities, there's no need to mention them. Since your parents are not around and I'm your elder, I'll take charge of this matter!"

  The old devil finished speaking, smiled complacently, and pondered for a moment. He laughed even more happily.

  The three brothers were as if struck by lightning, all sitting stupidly in the hall. Liu Lao Da lost his soul, Qu Lao Er was tongue-tied, and Liang Lao San was speechless. Only Yang Jiao Cui's expression remained calm and steady, nodding slowly.

  After a moment of silence, a chill rose from Qu Qing Shi's body again. He slowly turned his head and looked at Liang Xin first: "Does Qing Mo really like Liu Yi?"

  Liāng Xīn hastily nodded: "This can't be wrong" Originally wanted to say a few more words, but felt that Second Brother's eyes

  Qu Qing Shi took a long breath and turned his gaze to Liu Yi, who was still agape, looking as if he could swallow Qu Qing Shi whole.

  After meeting Lao Er's gaze, Liu Heizi's body trembled slightly, his mouth agape, mumbling something indistinctly, which no one could understand.

  He also didn't know what to say.

  Liu Yi flipped his hands over, his left hand pressing against the back of his head and his right hand supporting his chin, only then did he manage to close his mouth. Liang Xin was stunned for a moment before understanding dawned on him - Boss had just dislocated his jaw.

  Liu Yi's expression had become so complicated that it was all mixed up, with shock, fear, surprise, and a hint of pride hidden beneath. But more than anything, he couldn't believe it. His eyes were wide open, staring at Qu Qing Shi in the same way as before. After a while, he curled up the corners of his mouth and made a smile that was even uglier than crying. In a low voice, he said: "This child... no, this girl... I had no idea what she was thinking... and I'm 15 years, 7 months, and 9 days older than her?!"

  Qu Qing's face turned cold as he sneered: "You're really quite clear about it!"

  The old devil waved his hand and continued to be overbearing, asking Liu Yi: "Where did you get so much nonsense? Just say it, do you like Qingmo?"

  Liu Yi smiled slyly: "This... if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have never thought of it. Now that you mention it, I suddenly feel very happy!" As he spoke, Liu Yi's face actually turned red, and his expression was a bit awkward. Liang Xin couldn't even dream that this expression would appear on the boss's face.

  He turned to Qu Qing Shi again: "You are Qing Mo Er's brother, what do you think?"

  Qing's face turned green with anger, he blinked twice and raised three fingers: "Firstly, Qing Mo sometimes can't be trusted because of his childish nature. Who knows what will happen when he grows up a bit more."

  Jiang nodded slightly, and Liu also became visibly tense, his mouth moving as if he wanted to argue a couple of sentences, but couldn't find the words.

  Liang Xin also felt that things were going to get worse, but Qu Qing Shi suddenly changed the subject: "So, after all, we still need one or two years of effort to see how things go." As soon as he said this, Liang Xin let out a cheer, Lao Mo Tou burst into loud laughter, and Liu Hei Zi's face was filled with gratitude that couldn't be described. But then he fiercely waved his hand, his expression like a mix of smile and tears: "What second chance? Qing Mo likes him just because!" How could she possibly like him?!

  Liáng Xīn Kě couldn't bear it anymore, stretched out his hand to hold the two sworn brothers, and burst into loud laughter, with joy overflowing from his heart and written all over his face.

  Qu Qing Shi still stared at him with those gloomy eyes, persisted for a while before shaking his head and sighing. He and Liu Yi had known each other for many years, nominally as superiors and subordinates, but long before meeting Liang Xin, the two had been close friends, trusting each other with their lives. It was just that this matter came too suddenly, and for a moment, he couldn't get around this big turn of events.

  Qu Qing Shi never thought that his sister would actually like Liu Hei Zi.

  Liu Yi was still in a daze and it wasn't until after a while that he returned to normal, carefully calling out to Qu Qing Shi: "Uncle?"

  "This 'uncle' is what the child calls him, meaning the child's uncle. Liu Yi was also a native of Yizhou, and this was the local custom."

  Qu Qing's face was like he had been hit by a hidden weapon, his eyes and mouth twitching as he glared at Liu Yi and said in a low voice: "You dare to shout again?"

  Liu also burst out laughing and stretched out his arm to hug Qu Qing Shi, shaking him vigorously.

  Jiang sat on the opposite side, and in a low voice said: "As a man with wealth and power, it's inevitable to have some bad habits. In the past I didn't care, but from now on if you wrong Qingmo, I will definitely take action!"

  Liu Yi hastily nodded and then exchanged a glance with Qu Qing Shi. The two brothers surprisingly shared a tacit smile.

  An entrust from the shore, should have been said by Qu Qing Shi, but this is what brothers are for, Qu Qing Shi understands. Liu Yi and Qing Mo may not get along in the future, but even if they don't, Liu Yi won't do anything to betray Qing Mo's trust, no need to mention it!

  The old devil had been a human being for several lifetimes, but it was the first time he had successfully played matchmaker. He was overjoyed and couldn't express his happiness in words. His old face had turned into a blooming flower, and the carriage was filled with continuous laughter. However, Liu Yi seemed distracted, answering questions irrelevantly, and his mind was clearly elsewhere.

  Qing Shi still had some resentment and looked at Liang Xin with a frown, asking in a low voice: "Don't you like Qing Mo?"

  "I like it, but not in that way," said Liang Xin, who suddenly thought of going to see Xiao Yu.

  Wanted to go, so went.

  Three carriages continued to gallop, and after greeting his sworn brother and uncle, Liang Xin's body flashed, and he had already jumped onto the rear wheel of Xiao Quan's carriage. He raised his hand and lightly knocked on the carriage a few times: "Asleep yet?" At this time, it was already late at night, but everyone didn't feel tired, and they were rushing along overnight.

  "Come in and warm up!"

  Liang Xin swiftly moved to sit across from Xiao Quan, in the carriage, a faint scent of fragrance wafted through. Xiao Quan was resting her cheek on one hand, not looking at Liang Xin but instead gazing silently out the side window: "Something's up?"

  Outside, there was only a vast expanse of darkness.

  Liang Xin could come up with twenty reasons off the top of her head, but she still shook her head and smiled, "It's nothing."

  Xiao Hai finally withdrew his gaze from outside the window, glanced at Liang Xin, and reached under his seat. Suddenly, a small wine jug appeared in his hand, which he tapped on the seal, releasing a fragrance that wafted everywhere.

  Li Xing suddenly burst out laughing: "There wasn't any in my car, this trip was a success!"

  Xiao Hai didn't respond to Liang Xin, but instead brought her lips to the wine jug, first taking a light sip, then holding the small jug with both hands, slightly tilting her head back, and drinking the good wine in one gulp after another, not leaving a single drop for Liang Xin.

  Liang Xin blinked her eyes and stared blankly from the side, wanting to say: "Let me have a taste too."

  Someone gave me advice.

  Although I'm a bit temperamental, I've always taken opinions seriously. However, when it comes to sarcastic or mocking comments, or sharp and cutting remarks, it's as if I deserve it, I asked for it, and I should just die from anger - that shouldn't be the case.

  I was unhappy when I started writing this chapter, but then I wrote about Lao Mo Tou and Bao Da Mei, and now I'm happy again, hehe, please give me monthly tickets!

  "Moving mountains will drop out of the home page list this week, it's a done deal." Although it seems impossible now, I still want to achieve good results. Not only won't I fall down, but I'll also rise up, let's see how that goes!

  Honestly, it's fine to give opinions, even if you scold me a bit, as long as it's not profanity. However, please don't be so sarcastic. I may not know whether you are noble or not, but I am certain that I will not lower myself.

  It's already 4 o'clock in the morning, and I'm still typing away.

  Typing can earn money, I have more money now, and I can let people who care about me live a good life.

  When typing, one must be meticulous, so as to do justice to those who read this book.

  That's all there is to it, as for what you said "stop pretending to be pitiful and ask for votes in the future", I can only say: go!

  I've pretended to be innocent, pretended to be sentimental, pretended to be Andy Lau, and pretended to be a post-90s kid. When chatting with brothers and sisters, I've pretended to be everything, but one thing I've never pretended is being pitiful!
