Chapter 87: Bull demon Lao Huang, a human-demon hybrid? (4K)

Professional matters require professionals. Brother Zhinan is a professional among professionals in this regard. If there are some anatomical problems, only Brother Zhinan can do it.

Then Lu Chen turned to look for Senior Brother Zhinan, and went to Qiao Yan with Huizhi and the other two.

Before they reached Qiao Yan's cabin, Lu Chen and the other two heard "bang bang" sounds, like the sounds of fighting. The surrounding trees seemed to be shaken, and the leaves intertwined and rustled.

The three of them looked at each other and accelerated immediately, so fast that they almost pulled out a phantom.

But after seeing the scene, the three of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I saw Qiao Yan wrestling with a bull demon in front of me, but there was no evil or murderous aura coming from either of them.

The bull demon had transformed into a human form, but with a bull's head and cloth clothes, he looked quite strange.

The vibrating sound that the three people just heard was the result of the two people using too much force in wrestling, and the effect caused by you throwing me and me throwing you back.

However, even though they were wrestling, neither of them tried to kill each other; it just looked like they were struggling.

Suddenly, Qiao Yan exerted force, tilted his body, and with a sudden and clever pull, he threw the bull demon out, making it fall headfirst.

"Hahaha! That's great! Lao Huang, are you coming again?"

Qiao Yan pinched his waist and laughed loudly. The bull demon, who was thrown to the ground with dirt flying everywhere, climbed up again with a gurgle and said unconvincedly: "Come on, come on! I was careless just now and was swept by you... Oh? Immortal!"

Suddenly, the bull demon saw Huizhi and the other two. Especially when he saw Huizhi, his eyes widened larger than bells and were filled with fear.

However, Huizhi left such a deep impression on him that killing monsters was just like stringing candied haws with a long sword.

Qiao Yan also noticed the three people and looked delighted: "Senior Brother Huizhi, Senior Brother Zhinan, Ruchen, you are here."

Qiao Yan was very happy. The three of them never came together in the past, especially Ruchen, who hadn't come for several months.

"Senior Brother Huizhi said he caught a bull demon at your place, so I came to take a look. What are you doing?"

Lu Chen looked at the man and the monster curiously.

Judging from the way they are now, they seem to be getting along well?
But why was it that the bull demon’s demonic aura was only sealed, but there was not even any restraint on his body?
Lu Chen turned to look at Hui Zhi, who explained, "Brother Guangyuan has observed this bull demon using the Qi-reading technique. He has no bloody evil spirits and has never harmed anyone. So I promised him that I would not harm his life. If he cooperates well, I will set him free in the future. He was originally restrained."

Qiao Yan nodded repeatedly and said hurriedly, "Old Huang is an honest ox. He used to be a farming ox. After the old master died, the new master disliked him because he was too old and wanted to kill him privately to sell his meat, so he ran away. However, he never had the intention to harm anyone. He was driven by the tiger demon because he was weak. But even so, Old Huang never really harmed anyone. Instead, he rescued some people because of his identity as a demon. I felt sorry for him, so I untied him."

Lao Huang?

This name is the name of a domesticated cow...

Lu Chen nodded. If the bull demon Lao Huang was not lying, then it would be normal for him to receive such preferential treatment.

only……

Lu Chen and his senior brother Zhinan next to him exchanged a glance, and everything was said without words.

In that case... let's put off the autopsy and the like for later?
Both of them understood what the other meant.

What Lu Chen and Zhi Nan first thought of was to find a demon tribe to study the body structure of the bull demon, and it would be best if they could dissect it for a more detailed study.

For this reason, Senior Brother Zhinan even brought his weapons with him.

But seeing how Qiao Yan treated the bull demon Lao Huang, he couldn't put it into action.

Zhinan looked at the bull demon Lao Huang with pity in his eyes. Lao Huang just felt a chill on his back. Why did he feel that this old man was even more terrifying than the immortal with the sword?
"Come on, let's talk."

Huizhi waved his hand, and several people went into the house and sat down.

"Old Huang, right? Tell me about your method of cultivation."

Zhinan gave the bull demon a gentle smile and went straight to the point.

However, Lao Huang couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end when he saw Zhinan's smile. He always felt a sense of life and death crisis. For the sake of his own life as a demon, he quickly repeated his method of cultivation and even thoughtfully translated many professional terms used by the demon clan.

"Unlike humans, he is dominated by the energy of Taiyin."

Zhinan studied the latter path for a while.

"Yes, most of us demons gain wisdom by absorbing the Emperor's Sap, which only appears once every sixty years."

Old Huang nodded repeatedly: "The king said that the Emperor's juice is the rich essence of Taiyin."

"On the night of Gengshen, when the moon is bright, the emperor will flow."

Huizhi added: "The cultivation method of the demon race is somewhat similar to Taiyin Refining Form?"

Zhinan shook his head: "The Taiyin Form Refining requires the most Yin Qi, without any form. Only when you practice to the highest depths, you may be able to produce Yang from Yin. The demon race needs not only the essence of the Taiyin but also the essence of the sun. Some ancient demon races also focus on the sun's Qi."

"Our king once said..."

Old Huang shrank his neck and said timidly: "It is said that our demon race practices cultivation, and we practice specific demon veins."

"Demon vein?"

Even the well-informed Huizhi had never heard of such remarks before, not to mention Zhinan and Lu Chen. He could not help but urge, "Tell me in detail, what is a demon vein?"

Seeing this, the bull demon Lao Huang said, "Demon veins are actually similar to spirituality and tools, but they are just another way of cultivation. We demons have specific demon veins, and each population is different, so after cultivation, the innate magical powers born are also different. The human race does not have demon veins, so there are no innate magical powers, and they need to be learned and cultivated later."

"Talented magical powers..."

Zhinan frowned: "Who said that humans don't have innate magical powers? There are many talented geniuses in our human race who can also give birth to magical powers."

As far as he knew, there were many human beings who could be born with innate supernatural powers.

Huizhi also nodded. He also knew about the magical powers of many human geniuses from ancient books.

For example, doesn’t the Erlang Shen Zhenjun of Guanjiangkou have innate supernatural powers?

The so-called supernatural powers are the upgrading of spells, except that supernatural powers do not consume mana, but consume the power of supernatural powers.

The power of magical power is very strong. If you master a powerful magical power, you don't have to worry about protecting the way. The realm of cultivation only represents the level of cultivation, and it may not fully represent the combat power. In terms of combat power for protecting the way, it is necessary to comprehensively consider multiple aspects such as spells, magic tools, and magical powers.

"No, you pure human race don't have magical powers."

Old Huang shook his head. “Our king said that the geniuses born with innate magical powers in your human race are basically hybrids of demons and monsters, or hybrids of humans and immortals. At the very least, they are some people whose ancestors practiced magical powers. When the magical powers are practiced to the extreme, they can be passed down through the bloodline. As for us, the demon race, we are born with demon veins, so we naturally have magical powers.”

"Most of the demon race's demon veins are hidden in the flesh. When the demon race cultivates, they nurture their magical powers. When the magical powers are amplified, the demon veins become stronger, and naturally the flesh becomes stronger. However, the demon veins have their own characteristics, and they are most likely to affect our demon race's intelligence. Therefore, the more talented the demon race is, the more extreme they are likely to be, and they need to practice some methods of Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism to nurture their minds."

Lu Chen listened thoughtfully beside him.

If you think about it carefully, what Mr. Huang said does make sense, at least the logic is self-consistent.

"Demon veins...divine power."

Huizhi and Zhinan were both silent. According to Lao Huang, the human race really did not have any innate magical powers, at least the purebred humans did not.

The bloodline of Erlang Shen Zhenjun can directly reach the head of heaven - the Jade Emperor!

It’s a pure second generation immortal!
As for other ancient human races who were born with innate supernatural powers, they seemed to be descendants of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of ancient times.

There is no need to elaborate on the Taoism of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors; none of them had low cultivation.

Lu Chen suddenly said: "I heard that there are people in Northern Juluzhou who can practice the way of demons? Why is that? We can't say that all the people in Northern Juluzhou are mixed-blooded, human-demon or human-immortal, right?"

Old Huang said without hesitation: "That is the credit of the ancient witch text. Our king came from Northern Juluzhou. It was difficult for the human race to survive in Northern Juluzhou, so they realized from the ancient witch text that the method of using witch text to replace the demon veins, and the human race engraved these ancient witch texts on their bodies, which was equivalent to planting an acquired demon vein in the body. Therefore, the human race in Northern Juluzhou can practice the demon power of our demon race. However, it seems that those human races cannot leave Northern Juluzhou. The king said that those human races seem to have very few immortality, and most of them died halfway, just to pursue strength to improve."

After listening to this, several people looked at each other, but they couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Ancient witchcraft?

They knew about the ancient witch language, and after Zhenkun died, a book containing ancient witch language was found among his personal belongings!
"If that's the case, it makes sense."

Huizhi couldn't help but sigh.

“It’s worth studying.”

Zhinan thought with the mentality that everything can be studied, and then asked Qiao Yan: "Qiao Yan, I just saw you wrestling, and there was magic power flowing in your body. Can you use the magic power now?"

Qiao Yan nodded and waved his hand casually, emitting a visible magical power: "Old Huang gave me his cultivation method. I practiced it for a while and found that I can use some of my magical power."

Old Huang nodded: "Qiao Yan's ancestors must have been wealthy, with great cultivators, or they may be human-demon hybrids, human-immortal hybrids, etc., with hidden demon veins in their bodies. Although they are not as perfect as our demon race, they can be used. However, they may not be able to practice too deeply because the demon veins in his body are incomplete and need to be supplemented."

Several people looked at each other, this is... what a coincidence!

"Senior Brother Qiao Yan really turned a disaster into a blessing."

Lu Chen sincerely congratulated Qiao Yan and wished him to be able to practice again.

Qiao Yan smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "The demon veins in my body are incomplete and cannot be repaired. At most, I can suppress a part of it and use a part of it. It is impossible to make further progress."

After all, several generations of ancestors can be confirmed to be human. After everyone has combined, even if there is blood of the demon race or even the immortal race, it has been diluted to a very small extent. Therefore, it is extremely normal for the demon bloodline to be incomplete.

"Can the innate demon veins be made up for by acquired means?"

Zhi Nan said: "If it is possible, we can give it a try."

"OK."

Old Huang nodded: "For many immortals, reshaping the body is a piece of cake, let alone a mere demon vein?"

"You old cow know a lot." Huizhi said.

Old Huang said embarrassedly: "My king is of high birth, and I also have some luck."

"You were just lucky enough to be caught by me?"

Huizhi, however, was somewhat hesitant about the high status of his king.

Old Huang, however, was somewhat unconvinced, and wanted to say that the one who came to cause trouble this time was just an ordinary small leader under the king.

However, they did not argue too much. After all, even if you told them how powerful the king was, they might not know.

"Qiao Yan, what do you think?"

Huizhi was not in the mood to discuss with an old cow, so he looked at Qiao Yan.

Qiao Yan was a little disappointed: "Brother, the ancient witch writing is hard to find. Except for the Northern Julu Continent, there is no place that has it passed down."

He couldn't go to Uttarakuru, so where could he find the ancient witchcraft?
Lu Chen and the other two laughed when they heard this, and Hui Zhi said mysteriously, "Ancient witch writing? Who said there is none?"

Lu Chen nodded: "Now it just depends on whether Senior Brother wants to do it."

Qiao Yan was stunned by Huizhi's words: "I don't remember the ancestor talking about ancient witch writing?"

The ancestors sometimes talked about some divine patterns of heaven and earth, such as Taoist texts, dragon and phoenix seals, ancient witch scripts, etc. However, apart from Taoist texts, other texts were only mentioned in a few words or even in passing.

Zhinan smiled and said, "This is a coincidence. You just need to think about whether you want to use the ancient witch script to make up for the demon veins in your body. If you want, we will give it to you."

The ancient witchcraft books left by Zhenkun contain many ancient witchcraft characters. All you need to do is copy them down and give them to Qiao Yan.

Of course, the danger is also extremely great. After all, they have no idea of ​​the ancient witch script's method of making up for the demon veins, so they can only explore it slowly.

If any of these were not done properly, it might cause irreversible damage to Qiao Yan's body.

In addition, the ancient witch script is against the harmony of nature. If it can be compensated by the state of being mixed with human immortals, it is possible to achieve immortality. However, if it is compensated by being similar to the human demon cultivators in Beijuluzhou, I am afraid that disasters will continue.

Then, Huizhi told Qiao Yan about the dangers involved.

After Qiao Yan pondered for a long time, his expression became firm: "I live here in a hut and cut wood for a living, just so that I can seek the great way one day. Since there is a way, I will take it."

He looked at Lu Chen and said, "I think there is a good saying: The sky may be high, but the road is ahead. Although it is full of dangers and thorns, if you don't take a walk, how can you know that you can't reach the sky!?"
