Dao Fruit

This is a dilapidated ancient temple located in the barren mountains. The inside and outside of the temple are full of dust, showing that it has been abandoned for a long time.

On the sacred table in the temple, there is a clay sculpture statue of a famous woman. She wears a phoenix crown on her head, a long-sleeved round-necked treasured dress, and cloud-head shoes. She is sitting on a dragon head chair, holding her hand in her left hand. A child with his right hand on his lap.

The entire statue was spotless, and the eyes were faintly glowing, particularly conspicuous in the dark temple.

However, as a scream came from the statue, a shadow flew out from it and danced in the temple.

The phantom was that of a woman, glowing with green light but extremely dim. The soul of a baby was lingering around her, emitting wavering mood swings.

"I have been careful enough. Over the years, I have almost never devoured human babies. I have only looked for those demon children to devour. After concentrating my divine power, I finally found a half-demon who was a descendant of the Taoist sect. I just attached a spiritual thought to it. This It didn’t take long for him to be discovered by other gods!”

The woman's face suddenly changed as she was thinking about it.

"No! The divine mind has been extracted! The gods in heaven have limited magical powers. Those who can extract the divine mind without damaging it are definitely not something I can deal with. You must escape!"

She muttered in her heart, decisively cutting off the connection with the divine thought, raising her hand to grab a baby soul shadow beside her, bending her fingers, and crushing it.

"Whoa whoa whoa!"

Suddenly, a loud cry came from the broken shadow of the baby, and the woman's divine body actually blended into the cry, scattered away, left the temple in a blink of an eye, and disappeared into the dark forest.

As she left, the eyes of the statue in the temple suddenly dimmed, and then with a few "crackling" sounds, it was completely shattered and turned into a pile of mud.

………………

In the inn, Qiu Yan was dining with Zheng Yun, his eyes flashing from time to time, observing the changes in Zheng Yun's aura with his spiritual eye technique. On a level that Zheng Yun cannot see. Zao Gong's spiritual thoughts were slowly pulling out a baby's shadow from his head.

The baby was fat and fat. While being pulled, it bent its arms and legs and cried loudly. Every sound burst out a storm of thoughts, making Qiu Yan's soul tremble.

"What a divine power. I don't know which god it is from. Although it is isolated by the jade pendant, if it is left unchecked, it will grow stronger sooner or later by absorbing Zheng Yun's emotions and thoughts. Why did Brother Zheng's disciples leave such a person behind?" Disaster."

This spiritual thought is hidden in Zheng Yun, making it difficult to detect easily. Even a god like the God of Sun Travel would not be discovered as long as he did not focus on Zheng Yun.

However, based on the method shown by the man in blue, Qiu Yan did not believe that the other party would miss this matter. Since he ignored it, he should have given it some thought.

But now that Zheng Yun is with him, Qiu Yan can't let it go and ignore it for a while. It wouldn't be good if the body of this spiritual thought was aware of its reality.

So, the first time he saw it, he looked through the Zao Gong statue in the inn. Use this deity's spiritual thoughts to pull it out.

Sacrifice to Zao Gong is rapidly expanding in Jiannan Road, ever since Li Gua was integrated into Fu Zhuan. The six lines turn into spiritual thoughts and reflect the incense, which is the luck of the person worshiping Zao Gong. They were all gradually modified, and in conjunction with the legal duty of protecting the family and the people, it really made people healthy. Therefore, more people noticed it and began to try to worship.

As a Taoist government, Jiannan City is full of people and well-informed, so it has begun to have a Zao Gong Temple, and some inns and restaurants have invited gods to stay. The one where Qiu Yan lives is one of them.

After Zao Gong's spiritual thought was pulled, he followed up with another roll to trap the alien spiritual thought. Unexpectedly, the baby-shaped divine thought suddenly shook!

"No! I didn't expect the other party to be so ruthless and decisive!"

Just when Qiu Yan changed his mind, the spiritual thought exploded!

fluctuation!

The fluctuations of divine power spread out in all directions, and the God of Zao who bore the brunt was shattered and torn into pieces!

He saw the shadow of the baby scattered everywhere, like a continuous drizzle, even Qiu Yan's body was stained with a few traces, causing his thoughts to beat, and the memory of his infancy emerged in his heart. He saw the smiling faces of his parents in a trance, and his thoughts slowly Indulging, freezing, and tending to stagnate!

"oh?"

Surprised in his heart, Qiu Yan's right hand was full of energy and blood, and his flesh and blood swelled. He grabbed it suddenly, and the four bookshelves in the earth soul rotated, releasing scriptures and articles, dispelling all kinds of illusions and allowing stagnant thoughts to flow again.

But the next moment, the swollen arms vibrated.

Qiu Yan's expression condensed, his mind turned, and several thoughts containing articles, together with a black mist of inner demons, were poured into that hand at the same time!

"Which god is this? It seems to be related to babies? Could it be the child-giving god of Jiannan Road? The fragments that exploded just now have the effect of rejuvenating people's thoughts. Once they are attacked, they will be like idiots. It’s no different.”

After the baby's spiritual mind explodes, the person's mind returns to youth, but the body remains unchanged, which is equivalent to an adult with only the wisdom of a baby. It can be described as cruel.

"Uncle Shi, what's wrong?"

Qiu Yan's hand was placed under the table, swelling and clenching, making it difficult for others to notice. However, Zheng Yun felt something when his spiritual thoughts exploded and spread to the surroundings. He couldn't help but ask - the broken thoughts had no effect on him. Even children, no matter how wise they are, are still pure in mind.

"Nothing, are you full?"

Xiao Zheng Yun nodded repeatedly, and Qiu Yan comforted him a few words before leading him back upstairs.

When Zheng Yun entered the room, his eyes fell on the books on the table. After getting Qiu Yan's permission, he picked up one and started reading.

When Qiu Yan saw it, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Has your father taught you how to read?"

"I haven't been taught, but I can understand the meaning of the words in the book just by looking at them."

"Oh? You actually knew it from birth! He is really talented and a good reader. No wonder Brother Zheng showed pride when he mentioned this."

Qiu Yan nodded and said no more.

When little Zheng Yun was studying, he could calm down and recover from the anxiety of leaving his father.

Qiu Yan walked aside and spread his palms.

In the palm of his hand, there was a faintly beating fragment of spiritual thought. Qi, blood, black mist, and thoughts surrounded the fragment, imprisoning it.

Just now, the moment when the infant form of spiritual energy exploded, Qiu Yan felt suspicious in his heart while being impacted. He stretched out his hand to grab it and intercepted a fragment of spiritual energy with the energy and blood in his hand. It's just that it's still difficult to completely imprison him with energy and blood alone, so he used the inner demon smoke and article ideas successively.

"There are also ways to restrain spiritual thoughts in the mortal world. Qi, blood, thoughts, etc. are one of the means. In the previous imperial examinations, the divine ways around Gongyuan were driven out by literary thoughts and human thoughts, making it difficult to penetrate deeply. However, it still involves the issue of quantity. If the gods Thoughts and divine power are abundant, no matter how much literary energy or blood energy there is, they may not be able to disperse the divine thoughts.”

Qiu Yan came to Jiannan City this time. He only focused on the imperial examination. At that time, the city was full of literary spirit, which almost suppressed the Shinto atmosphere. Now that the provincial examination has passed, the Shinto atmosphere has gradually become stronger, which is different from Qingchang County and Yuanning Prefecture where Shinto is missing.

Looking at the divine thought in his hand, Qiu Yan thought for a moment, then opened his mouth and swallowed it. As soon as the bookshelf of Na Zibu turned around, sage articles burst out, suffocating him.

Later, the Shinto fragments along with the bookshelf. They fell into the hole in the soul together and were transmitted to the divine body of the deity. Immediately, a large amount of incense and thoughts surged in and were analyzed forcefully!

"The Divine Sense exploded. The damage to the gods themselves was also great. If it was the God of Delivering Children, there was no need to be so desperate. Maybe there was something hidden, so I just wanted to check it out. The Zao Gong Sacrifice spread rapidly, and its influence continued to increase. Lu Liang was very He will soon stop him. Although he cannot touch the deity, it is still easy to hinder the sacrifice. Knowing more about the composition of other gods will also help in future confrontations. "

Later, a piece of information that surprised Qiu Yan was parsed out of the fragments of spiritual thoughts.

………………

"Huh? There is no canonization information in this divine thought. It has a similar artistic conception to my own divine power. Could it be..."

While Qiu Yan was thinking about it, the inner demon smoke in his hand suddenly sank, and then started to vibrate!

"Huh? What's going on?"

This suddenness caught him off guard, but he quickly changed his mind to calm his nerves and soon calmed down. However, the inner demon clone on the other side of the god himself felt a summons, as if there was some mysterious power. Pulling at inner demons.

"Huh?" The inner demon clone changed its mind and calmed down, causing the mysterious power to dissipate slightly.

Qiu Yan pondered for a moment, then collected the inner demon smoke in the scholar's clone hand, and sent it back to the inner demon through the hole in the soul, and then the mysterious power dissipated.

"This power of the underworld is definitely not an illusion! Speaking of which, my inner demon clone originated from the supreme leader. This demon was attracted, so it will naturally have a source. The inner demon...the inner demon...well, forget it. It’s time to come back next time.”

Thinking like this, soon, a shadow came from the window and fell into his hands.

This cloud of smoke was also a Tao inner demon. It had previously penetrated into Fang Ziyan's heart along with the article, but it did not stay for long. It didn't take long for it to return along with the mood of the people along the way, but it did not arrive until now.

"The clone of the inner demon can split a lot of smoke and seep into the gaps in the hearts of others, but there is only one dominant consciousness, but there are tens of millions of people in the world, and there are countless people who have inner demons in their hearts. The inner demons of these people are also Where did it come from?"

Qiu Yan was thinking about it when he was suddenly startled and noticed some information from the smoke in his hand.

With a faint smile, he swallowed the demon smoke in his hand and passed it back along the hole in his soul.

Not far away, little Zheng Yun was still studying. In the corner of the desk, the ginseng baby quietly crawled out and listened quietly.

Qiu Yan stood up and walked over, asking in a low voice: "Yun'er, do you want uncle to teach you how to write?"

"Okay!" Xiao Zheng Yun responded and stepped aside.

Qiu Yan smiled, knowing that the child was actually observing words and expressions, which was too premature, but he did not speak clearly. Instead, he sharpened his pen and wrote two words -

Encourage learning.

As soon as these two words fell on the paper, his energy and blood rose, and there was a vague and erratic artistic conception. In Zheng Yun's eyes, it gave him a feeling that it would fly out of the paper and fall into his heart.

This is Qiu Yan trying to incorporate the characteristics of his inner demon into his words. Then he kept writing, and a piece of "Encouraging Learning" quickly took shape in his writing. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
