Demon King’s Repayment

Yuan Xiang'er and his party stayed at the inn for one night, and got up early the next day, packed up and prepared to go north.

Walking out of the gate of the inn, outside the door, the BMW scented car and the flags were so obvious, and two rows of freshly dressed and decorated attendants waited respectfully there.

Yun Xuan, who had fought a fight halfway before, stood at the forefront of the team, with a white robe and a crown and a jade belt carved with fur.

"Look, it's True Person Yun Xuan."

"True Person Yun Xuan, where, where?"

"Today I was able to meet the real person Yun Xuan. How lucky, today must be a good day."

Pedestrians on the road looked sideways, and the guests in the wine shop opened the windows one by one, sticking out their heads, all excited, regardless of gender.

When Yun Xuan saw Yuan Xiang'er coming out, his face was a little unnatural, but he quickly stabilized his momentum, and politely stepped forward to give a courtesy among his peers.

"This fellow Taoist, I am hereby invited by my family teacher to invite him to see him in Xianle Palace."

Yuan Xiang'er was just pretending to be stupid, not really ignorant of the world. She still heard the name of Dongxuan Sect and Master Miaodao, although she didn't understand why the Master of the National Normal University invited herself to the Dongxuan Sect. Xianle Palace.But since they were politely invited, of course she also politely declined.

She replied with a polite: "It is a great honor for me to be invited by the Master of the National Normal University. It's a pity that we have to hurry up and ask fellow Taoists to pass it on. When we come back to Kyoto, we will definitely come to visit the teacher."

Yun Xuan's complexion changed. In his mind, the respected master was like a human being, and even the emperor treated him respectfully and respectfully.He couldn't believe that someone in Kyoto would dare not respond to Master's call.

But somehow he still remembered the master's explanation, suppressed his anger, approached Yuan Xianger and whispered, "Master said, he is an old friend of Yu Yao, so I want to see you."

Yuan Xianger raised her head instantly.

...

Inside Xianle Palace,

The palace where the real master Miaodao lives is high, and from there you can see the whole of Kyoto.

Madam Miaodao was blindfolded and dressed in a robe, standing by the window, seeming to look at the splendid scenery of the world with those invisible eyes.

"Do you think it is Kunpeng's Pisces formation?" He turned his head from the window and asked.

Not far behind him, stood two tall apostles.One is pale complexion, long hair reaching the ground, and heavy chains running through his body. It was Dushuo who had fought with Nanhe not long ago.

Another person has a corner on his forehead, and his bronze skin is covered with weird red lines, named Haohan.

Du Shuo snorted softly, did not speak, but did not deny either.

"When I heard Yunxuan mention it, I thought he had read it wrong when he was young." Miaodao Zhenren sat back in his seat, raised his sleeves and flicked the white jade plate in front of him. The smoke on the white jade plate dispersed and appeared. A vast and calm sea surface.

"Unexpectedly, he left this life-saving skill to a human child." Miao Dao lowered his head and stared at the sea, as if talking to himself softly, "Perhaps, Kunpeng really likes humans."

"Do you feel guilty now?" Du Shuo mocked, "Even a person like you sometimes feels sorry."

"Du Shuo." Haohan's pale golden pupils turned, and shook his head disapprovingly, "Don't talk to the master like this. You can ask for trouble."

Miao Dao didn't seem to have heard it, but quietly faced the white jade plate in front of him. The sea water that appeared on the white jade plate was always blue, and under the sapphire surface there was an unknown world.

After watching Miaodao for a long time, his expression was a bit lonely, "I was born a human, how can I not feel guilty. It is a pity that Dadao is ruthless. In order to pursue the way of my generation, I have to give up too many things."

He flicked his sleeves, "Go, that child is here, go and help me bring her in."

Yuan Xianger came to the Xianle Palace in a carriage, and saw layers of temples painted and carved with buildings, pearls and greens; fragrant lanterns, flags and umbrellas, and fairy music fluttering.Sure enough, there is a style of national religion.

The palace where the true monarch Miaodao is located is the highest, and he walked up the steps along the old cypresses of Cangsong and came to a square paved with purple stones. Around the square are the gods of Meng Zhang, the soldiers of supervision, the gods of Lingguang and the gods of Zhiming , The half-human stone statues of the four gods like Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu.

Behind the square, the pine trees stand, and there is a magnificent palace in between.

On the steps outside the Vermilion Gate, there was a demon with a pale face, thin lips and black eyes, and a shackle.

"Let's go, follow me in, he wants to see you." Du Shuo glanced at Yuan Xiang'er lightly, and turned around to enter first.

Nan He grabbed Yuan Xiang'er and shook his head in disapproval, "Don't go, I feel there is a very powerful existence inside, and we are not his opponents."

Yuan Xiang'er squeezed his hand: "This is the first time I have heard from Master. I really want to go. Besides, I don't think if they want to harm us, they don't need to bring us here. Couldn't he come out?"

Nan He hesitated for a moment, released his hand and walked in with Yuan Xiang'er. When passing through the door, the air seemed to freeze for a while, making a small sound.Yuan Xiang'er went in, but Nan He and Wu Yuan were blocked by the door.

When Yuan Xiang'er looked back, the door was so misty that the scene outside the door was no longer visible.

Wu Yuan's anxious voice sounded in her mind, "Axiang, Axiang, how are you? We can't get in, we are blocked outside, and these people are too cunning."

"Without the permission of the national teacher, no monster can enter." Du Shuo stopped and waited for her, his eyes were cold and not warm, "Don't worry, if you really want to deal with you, you can't commit these methods."

Yuan Xianger thought for a while, and said to Wu Yuan, "I'm fine, you and Nan He can wait outside."

She followed Du Shuo and walked down a long corridor, and walked to the tall red lacquered pillars on both sides. The pillar bases at the foot of the pillars are unusually auspicious patterns common in humans, but are carved with lifelike monsters. .

Along the way, those demons or fangs and claws chased human beings and swallowed them, or they were pressed under the red pillar and could not turn over.The light and shadow of the sun came in from the gap between the red pillars, casting a light and dark spot on the ground.

With bare feet, Du Shuo walked slowly in front of Yuan Xianger, the thick shackles on his ankles making a cold sound all the way.

Yuan Xiang'er looked at the iron chain that had penetrated her body and couldn't help asking, "Does it hurt if you are like this?"

Du Shuo turned half of his pale face and turned his thin eyebrows.

"When humans put a nose ring on a cow to drive them to plow, do they consider whether it hurts or not? When putting a bridle on a horse and letting them pull a cart, do they consider whether it hurts or not? As a servant, I don’t care whether it hurts or not."

Yuan Xiang'er looked at his slender and cold eyebrows, suddenly felt very similar to a person.

She remembered what Wu Yuan had said,

When our demons first transformed into form, they would often change according to the similar appearance of the people closest to and favorite.Since then, this appearance has been fixed in its original form.

"Please wait a minute," Yuan Xianger asked. "Do you know a girl named A Qing."

The clanging footsteps suddenly stopped.The back with long hair and the ground didn't look back, paused for a moment, and then walked again.

Yuan Xianger knew that he might guess right.

"Aqing is very worried about you. She has been living in this city for so many years," Yuan Xianger quickened her pace and said softly next to him, "She often plays the piano, and I hope you can hear her. I don’t know if you have heard it all these years."

Yuan Xianger knew that she might not be able to do anything right now, but now that she met, she at least conveyed Ah Qing’s feelings, saving her playing the pipa in this Kyoto for decades, and this apostle in the deep palace might No way to know.

Du Shuo didn't say a word. There was no change in his expression on his cold face. He took Yuan Xiang'er outside of a side hall for resting and living, and suddenly whispered before pushing the door open.

"He is not a good person, don't come here again."

Yuan Xianger stepped into the hall. The light in the hall was not particularly bright. There was a low couch by the window. On the futon on the couch was sitting slantingly on the futon, wearing a mountain sleeves sleeves, a crown, and a print on his face. A mage with tantric runes and blue satin.He faced a huge white jade plate that was standing beside him, and didn't raise his face until Yuan Xianger entered the hall.

Behind him is a burly and sturdy monster with sharp horns, golden pupils, and dark red runes flowing on the knotted muscles.

Yuan Xiang'er knew that this was the legendary Miao Dao real person. After she stood still, she held the younger generation with her crossbow.

"Sit down, I and your master Yu Yao are friends. You don't need to be restrained, you just want to see the deceased after you come here." Miao Dao Zhenren raised his arm slightly, his skin is fair, his figure is thin, a little bit thin. The appearance of a weak and gentle manner does not have the momentum of Megatron as the leader of the world's largest school.

When his words fell, a child brought the futon, the desk was placed in front of Yuan Xianger, and a cup of fragrant tea was also offered.

Yuan Xianger sat down on the futon, "How do you know that I am Master's apprentice?"

Miao Dao Zhenren laughed, "My apprentice Yun Xuan said, at a young age, you will be able to be more eloquent and refer to the empty book charms. The randomness of spellcasting is almost in the same line as Mr. Nature. It is not his apprentice or can be. Who? As far as I know, he doesn't have a daughter. What's more, he left you the Pisces formation that protects your life."

"Then you... know where my master has gone?"

This is what Yuan Xianger wants to know most, and why she is willing to venture in here.

The smile on Miaodao's face stagnated, and after a while he said softly, "Since he doesn't want to tell you and his wife. How can I go against his wish and be such a villain."

He stopped Yuan Xiang'er's continued questioning, "I have a friendship with Yu Yao, and they are considered your elders. Since he has left, if there are things that are unclear when you are practicing in the future, you may be short of something. Find me."

Then he raised his hand, and another boy entered, and placed a nanmu tray in front of Yuan Xiang'er.There are several beautiful jade neatly placed on the tray, the blocks are transparent and light, bright and gentle, and abundant aura lingers in it.

"This is a welcome gift."

Yuan Xiang'er had to stand up and thanked, "If it comes to doubts about practice, the juniors do have some confusion."

Miao Dao nodded for her to continue.

Yuan Xiang'er took out a few pieces of thin paper from her arms, and they were scattered and painted with a magic circle.

"I want to change the magic circle of the contract apostle. It has been out of reach and it is difficult to succeed." Yuan Xianger said as he looked at the awe-inspiring national teacher.

She could see from the attitudes of the Dongxuan cultists towards demons that this national teacher might be very unfriendly towards demons, but she still wanted to test his reaction.

"Oh, at such a young age, you want to change the magic circle? You know, it is not easy to change the magic circle. Many people specialize in the magic circle for a lifetime, and they cannot change the magic circle or research A new magic circle.” Miao Dao was a little curious, "Tell me, how do you want to change that circle? Is it to increase the ease of contract success, or to strengthen the control of the monsters after the contract is concluded."

"I want to eliminate the role of control and punishment, leaving only the effect of communication and mutual perception. Let this formation become an equal contract." Yuan Xianger clearly stated her request.

Not only was Miao Dao stunned, even Hao Han standing behind him and Du Shuo standing at the door couldn't help but glance sideways at Yuan Xiang'er.

"But, without the effect of restraint and control, what use can this contract be?" Miao Dao asked puzzledly.

"There is no control and torture, as well as communication and keeping together. The relationship between us and demons does not necessarily consist of suppressing and enslaving each other, but sometimes we can get along like friends." Yuan Xianger glanced at Du Shuo outside the door, "Unprovoked imprisonment Isn’t it a barbaric and cruel way to torture those who have wisdom and emotions like us?"

Madam Miaodao showed a look that couldn't help being handsome, he almost turned his head and covered his face for a while before he could hold back without laughing on the spot.

"You child, your idea is too naive."

Yuan Xiang'er didn't show his timidity because of his exaggerated ridicule, but looked at him calmly.She held a junior courtesy to Miao Dao, but she didn't actually think she was younger than him.Correspondingly, after just two short contacts, she was very dissatisfied with Dong Xuanjiao's unprovoked behavior of looting and killing demons.

"Okay, you draw the circle for me to see, and I will help you change it. After you change it, you will immediately know that there is no restraint to your apostle who cannot move you at all."

Miao Dao really is like an elder who is accommodating a stubborn child, his tone is not approval but indulgence.

Yuan Xiang'er dipped his finger in the cup of tea, and drew the magic circle she had conceived for a long time on the desk.

A trace of spiritual energy flowed along her fingertips, and even a national teacher who couldn't see things could experience the appearance of the formation through perception.

"Huh, this magic circle?" He slowly sat up on the body that had been tilted on the couch.

It turned out that she was the one who saw the two contracts before.I originally thought that Yu Yao was a monster, so he could live in harmony with his apostle.Unexpectedly, this little girl could do it. She is indeed Yu Yao's apprentice, and she has exactly the same temperament and habits as that one.

Yuan Xiang'er finished drawing the magic circle, pointed at a key point, and looked up at him, "No matter how I modify it, it's still so a little uncomfortable. I really want to change this circle. Please ask seniors for advice. "

Miao Dao slowly got up from the low couch and walked to Yuan Xiang'er.

"Yuan Xiang'er, you may have been by your master's side since you were young, and you have never seen the cruelty of demons."

He led Yuan Xiang'er to the side of the main hall, where a long roll of ancient murals were painted on the walls. The painter's pen is strong, and all the scenery and creatures in the scroll are drawn vividly.

The dim sunlight hits it, like a scene in another time and space.

There were huge and terrifying monsters. They spewed flames and floods wantonly, landslides and ground cracked, and human homes were destroyed as a result. Ant-like humans were struggling under the claws of demons. In the corner of the picture scroll, countless practiced magic techniques. The capable people and strangers, holding treasures, are fighting desperately against demons and contending with each other.

The real person Miaodao paced slowly in front of the mural, and gently touched the mural with his fingers, "In the age when you were not born, people and monsters lived together, and the world was difficult. As far as monsters are concerned, we humans are like ants and can be killed indiscriminately. Existence. Just like today, bless my human race, keep away from the spiritual world, and the world is no longer the world of demons, so that my generation can live and work in peace and enjoy the prosperity of the world."

"You actually want to get along with those monsters on an equal footing?" He reached out and pulled Haohan's long hair behind him, pulled his head down, and turned his face, sharp corners, vertical pupils, and sharp teeth." Such monsters were once the natural enemies of our human beings. You actually think they can become friends?"

"My master is also a demon, why do you call him your friend? Did you all lie to me?" Yuan Xianger interrupted him, "So you think it's time for us to torture, abuse and bully the demon? No matter the good or the bad, Eliminate them all? Obviously most of them have a peaceful personality and get along well, so they have to kill each other and forge blood and blood feuds between the two clans, which will never be understood?"

Miao Dao turned his face to Yuan Xiang'er and looked down at Yuan Xiang'er. His face was covered with blue silk cloth. Yuan Xiang'er could only see the runes on the silk cloth, but couldn't see his expression clearly.

She knew that this lofty national teacher might not be able to hear such rebuttals, but she didn't want to back down. This was already her most polite way of saying.

After a while, Miao Dao raised his finger and shook it slightly towards the formation Yuan Xianger drew. A little light fell on the formation on the table. That Yuan Xianger painted countless times and it was difficult to transform the successful formation formation. At that moment it started to run freely.

"Well, for Yu Yao's sake, I point you this way. You should treat these cruel and terrifying things as friends, and I hope you will not regret it in the future."

There was a loud bang in the distance, and the roof and walls of this room followed the rustling downwards to drop dust.

"Someone tried to break the formation, but the four-like god-like magic formation could not stop it." Haohan looked up at the sky, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

Yuan Xianger suddenly felt that a talisman in her arms was hot and hot. She stretched out her hand and took a look at it. It was a communication talisman that she had left to Nan He and only had one function.

Yuan Xiang'er picked up the talisman. The spiritual power on the talisman was circulating at a high speed, and it was almost burning with heat, during which there were intermittent shouts of Nanhe.

"Xiang...Axiang...Where are you?"

Two circular gaps were opened in the sky outside the main hall, and what fell inside were no longer thin stars, but flaming meteorites with long tails.The huge meteorite carrying the hunting fierce light, smashed down at the formation protecting the palace.

"This is the living area of ​​the national teacher. There is a magic circle that isolates all foreign objects from communicating with each other. Your apostle and your little wolf can't contact you. You are crazy." Standing outside the hall, Du Shuo looked With the fireball falling from the sky, he reminded.

"Wh, what? I can't receive communications here?" Yuan Xiang'er only remembered. It had been a long time since he had contacted Wuyuan and had not received any news from Wuyuan.

She didn't even bother to say hello to Miaodao real person, and ran out with her skirt hem.

I ran all the way and got in touch with Wuyuan, "Wuyuan, Wuyuan, I'm fine, this is out, don’t worry."

Wu Yuan's crying and chirping voice immediately came in my mind, "Axiang, woo, why are you replying? Nan Ge and I are almost dying of anxiety."

Yuan Xianger rushed out of the gate out of breath. The flat square outside the gate was already in a mess. The four stone statues standing at the four corners destroyed one.Haohan squatted on the top of another stone statue, with a golden tiger tail revealing behind his back. The dark red lines on his body were all flowing, and he was staring at Nanhe with a little bloodthirsty excitement.

And Nanhe, Yuan Xianger has never seen such a Nanhe.

Violent, ruthless, murderous, desperate.

He wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth with a grim face, and was about to rush towards Hao Han.

"Xiao Nan!"

Yuan Xianger stopped him in time.

"I'm fine, Nanhe, I have nothing to do." Yuan Xianger ran down the steps outside the gate and ran all the way towards Nanhe, "I'm out."

Then she fell into a hot embrace.A pair of powerful arms bound him.

"It's fine, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I will go in and pick you up." Nan He's voice said in his ear.

The arm surrounding him trembled slightly, he himself was afraid, but he called her not to be afraid.

"We will make a bond, Axiang, immediately. So that I can find you anytime."

His hot breath was buried on Yuan Xiang'er's shoulders.

Yuan Xiang'er stretched out her hand to gently comfort his back, "Okay, the contract will be concluded immediately. I finally learned to give you an equal contract."
