“It’s not a curse.” Qin Yao took one look at it and said decisively.

Zhong Kui breathed a sigh of relief, and the pain that penetrated his soul seemed to be lighter.

He said that even if Zhang Daoxian was not a good person, he would not be so vicious.

 “I dare to ask Daoist Master Qin, what is going on with me?”

"Do you still remember the question you asked me?" Qin Yao asked.

Zhong Kui was stunned: "Which question?"

“The body of a **** is still a body of a demon.” Qin Yao reminded him, and then said: “Zhong Kui, you became a demon long before you could transform.”

 “How is that possible?!” Zhong Kui didn’t believe it.

"When we entered the city, the charlatan we met was a good man. If you don't believe what I say, you can go to him to see if you are still alive." Qin Yao said calmly.

 “You mean Du Ping?” Zhong Kui asked.

Qin Yao nodded slightly: "It seems that he was called by this name. That's how you called him at that time."

“I’m going to find him right now.” Zhong Kui put on his bamboo hat and stood up and said.

"Wait a minute." Qin Yao called him, and a white light suddenly emerged from his palm and penetrated into the other person's body.

As the white light entered his body, Zhong Kui felt as if he had been soaked in a hot spring, and all pain and fatigue disappeared instantly.

After a while, the white light disappeared, the dark veins on his face gradually receded, and his whole person felt relaxed.

“Am I okay?” Zhong Kui asked in surprise as he stretched out his hand to touch his face.

"Treating the symptoms but not the root cause." Qin Yao shook his head and said, "Go ahead. Before you completely believe in me, I can only do so much for you."

Zhong Kui was both ashamed and grateful. He cupped his fists and saluted, then strode away.

 Fifteen of an hour later.

Zhong Kui hurriedly arrived at a medicine house. Du Ping, who was reading medical books, saw his figure and stood up quickly, calling: "Brother."

“Take a look for me.” Zhong Kui waved his hand for him to sit down, and he strode to the desk, sat down opposite him, and put his hand on the desk with a bang.

 “What are you looking at?” Du Ping looked confused.

Zhong Kui was silent for a moment and said, "See if I'm still alive."

Du Ping laughed and touched the other person's pulse: "Brother, you are really good at joking. You are standing in front of me. Your life...is gone!!"

As he spoke, he jumped up suddenly as if a switch had been touched under his feet, with a look of horror on his face.

Zhong Kui remained silent.

“Big, big, big brother, what’s going on?” Du Ping kept swallowing his saliva and asked in panic.

"Don't ask, and don't tell anyone." Zhong Kui stood up and strode outside.

It happened that at this time, a young and beautiful girl walked in. When she saw him, she immediately smiled and said: "Brother."

Zhong Kui forced a smile on his face and touched her hair: "Brother, go ahead and get busy."

 After saying that, he left in a hurry without waiting for her to say anything else.

Zhong Ling was confused. He raised his head and asked Du Ping, "Brother is here to see you?"

Du Ping's face turned pale and he stammered: "He just asked me briefly about some pharmacological knowledge, saying it was to investigate the case..."

In the blink of an eye, Zhong Kui returned to Uncle Jiu’s room, but he was speechless.

“Can you believe us now?” Qin Yao asked proactively.

Zhong Kui nodded: "Du Ping said that my life is gone, but I can't understand it. I obviously have breathing, heartbeat, and temperature, so why is my life gone?"

Qin Yao: "Didn't I tell you everything? You have become a demon, and demons also have breathing, heartbeat, and temperature."

Zhong Kui was silent for a long time and said slowly: "I don't remember how I came back. I only know that Zhang Daoxian brought me back.

 After returning, he secured an official position in the Protectorate for me and taught me the skills of slaying demons. Until not long ago, he allowed me to enter the demon world...

  In other words, the meaning of my existence is to help him steal the demon spirit? ! "

 Chin Yao was noncommittal.

Zhong Kui’s cheeks twitched slightly, but he did not say the more **** reality of the second half of the sentence.

Since the meaning of his existence is to steal the demon spirit, then when the demon spirit is stolen, he has no value.

In this case, Zhang Daoxian also transformed him into that ghostly look, which was obviously a waste utilization.

“Can you please give me some advice, Taoist Priest, where should I go?” After a while, Zhong Kui knelt down on the ground and kowtowed heavily.

Qin Yao stretched out his hands to help him up, and said in a solemn voice: "There are two ways, one is to find a place to hide now, and hide until the end of this calamity.

 The consequences are either to be reborn, or to be destroyed along with the Hudu under the attack of demons.

Another way is to take the initiative, go to Xue Qing, and ask her to take you to the Demon World to find the Demon King, and propose to the Demon King a fusion and symbiosis to gain the initiative. "

Zhong Kui looked stunned, his brain shutting down.

After a long time, he gradually cleared his thoughts and said puzzledly: "I can understand living with the devil and fighting for the initiative. But why should the devil live with me?"

Qin Yao pursed his lips and said, "Because you really have potential in your body."

Zhong Kui:"???"

“To put it simply, the power of the Demon King can fully unleash your potential, so that when the two of you are combined, the effect of one plus one is greater than two.”

Qin Yao said: "When you two fight alone, no one is Zhang Daoxian's opponent, but together, you have the ability to kill the immortal."

Zhong Kui scratched his head: "I still don't understand, what is the relationship between the two?"

Qin Yao said quietly: "I suspect that the demon spirit is now in Zhang Daoxian's hands, forcing him to a critical moment of life and death, or that the demon spirit will appear after killing him."

Zhong Kui:"…"

 At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind...

If the demon spirit is not stolen twice, then the demon spirit can only be put into the demon suppression tower under the witness of heaven and all the people.

 After the demon spirit is stolen for the second time, it can be transferred from the Demon Suppression Tower to Zhang Daoxian's pocket.

 Zhang Daoxian has always said that in Hudu City, only masters Lin and Qin have the strength to kill Qilin and take away the demon spirit. But when Zhong Kui looked at it now, Zhang Daoxian's strength and probability seemed to be greater!

"still have a question."

Later, Zhong Kui said solemnly: "Zhang Daoxian has sealed the entire Hudu city. Only entry is allowed but no exit is allowed. How can I get out?"

Qin Yao smiled and said: "Since I have given you these two roads, it means that there is a way to help you leave. This seal is an insurmountable chasm for ordinary people, but for me, it is just a door. , just open it.”

Zhong Kui nodded silently: "Let me think about it..."

Qin Yao waved his hand: "Make a decision as soon as possible. Today is already the fifth day. There is not much time left for you and the devil."

Zhong Kui took a deep breath, bowed, and then strode away.

 That night.

Zhong Kui came to a small courtyard overgrown with weeds. Looking at the slightly shabby courtyard, scenes and memories of Xueer kept flashing in his mind.

At that time, he thought that he would gain eternal happiness after winning the lottery, but who knew that he would be at the peak of happiness at that time.     “Xue’er.”

  Taking out Xue'er's portrait from his pocket and hanging it on the wall, Zhong Kui murmured softly, his eyes gradually turning red.

 “What are you crying for?” The temperature in the room suddenly dropped a few degrees, and the beauty in the painting opened her thin lips.

Zhong Kui slowly raised his head, with no trace of surprise on his face, as if he knew she was here from the beginning: "Take me to the devil world..."

Xue Qing was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears on his face: "I can't go back. A barrier has been set up in Hudu City. You can only enter, but not leave."

Zhong Kui raised his hand to cover the cold back of her hand, his eyes determined: "Follow me, someone can take us out of the capital!"

 The sixth day when the demon disappeared.

Zhang Daoxian, with disheveled hair, sallow complexion, and a sense of dejection all over his body, returned to the Protector's Mansion, took a closer look, turned around and asked a guard, "Where is Zhong Kui?"

The guard shook his head: "Reply to the immortal, I don't know."

"I don't know..." Zhang Daoxian frowned slightly, walked to Uncle Jiu's door, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

 “Zhang Xianren.” Uncle Jiu opened the door and called.

“Does Taoist Lin know where Zhong Kui has gone?” Zhang Daoxian asked bluntly.

Uncle Jiu: "I haven't heard of it, and he didn't tell me. What's wrong, Zhang Xianren?"

Zhang Daoxian paused for a moment and said, "Zhong Kui is hiding something from us. I suspect it has something to do with the devil world."

Then you are right to suspect it.

Uncle Jiu slandered, but said solemnly: "You can't, right? He was taught by you, how could he have an affair with the demon world?"

 Zhang Daoxian: “…”

There is no way to talk about this topic.

"Where's Taoist Qin? He's not in the Protector's Mansion either?" Zhang Daoxian asked in a deep voice, turning to look at the next room.

"He said he was going to buy something. He just left." Uncle Jiu said without changing his expression: "If you are looking for him, you can go to the street and have a look."

Zhang Daoxian thought deeply: "I'm not going. I'll wait for them to come back at the Protector's Mansion. Whether it's Zhong Kui or Qin Yao, at this critical moment, you can't not come back at night, right?"

Uncle Jiu heard the mystery in his words and smiled: "I will definitely come back."

Zhang Daoxian nodded, waved goodbye, and turned around to go to the courtroom opposite the gate.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and it was already noon. Zhang Daoxian, who was sitting in the courtroom, became increasingly impatient.

The unsheathed sword is the most intimidating, and the demon world without troops is also the most oppressive to him.

 Under the influence of this oppressive force, his heart could not help but be impetuous, and any waiting would be torture for him.

 “Master Zhong.”

 “Master Zhong.”

 “Brother Zhong…”

After a long time, when he began to pace around the hall to relieve his mood, calls suddenly reached his ears, which lifted his spirits.

 “Zhong Kui, come to the court!”

In the courtyard, the bearded Zhong Kui raised his head following the sound, clenched the long knife in his hand, strode towards the court, stopped at the door and worshiped: "Immortal."

 Zhang Daoxian waved to him: "Come on, come in."

Zhong Kui stepped through the door and stared at his feet, as if he didn't dare to look directly at the immortal's eyes.

 “Raise your head.” Zhang Daoxian said in a deep voice.

Zhong Kui slowly raised his head and asked, "What are the immortal's orders?"

"Where have you been?" Zhang Daoxian suddenly burst out with a strong aura, which made Zhong Kui's breathing quicken slightly.

"I'm going to look for those Loulan women. There must be something wrong with them."

 “Have you found it?” Zhang Daoxian said solemnly.

Zhong Kui shook his head: "I don't know where they are hiding. I haven't found anything yet."

Zhang Daoxian waved, and Zhong Kui flew into the air, his neck automatically pressed into his palm: "Tomorrow is the last day, and tonight must be the most dangerous moment. Zhong Kui, my patience has been exhausted, you Why are you provoking me at this time?"

 “I didn’t.” Zhong Kui struggled to say.

"you have not?"

Zhang Dao ”

"This thing is..." Zhong Kui said with difficulty, holding the handle of the knife with his right hand. As soon as he started speaking, he pulled out the long knife with his palm and stabbed it into Zhang Daoxian's body with a pop.

Zhang Daoxian suddenly widened his eyes and looked at his chest in disbelief.

What he couldn't accept even more was that not only was his immortal body pierced by the blade, but the demonic energy from the blade even crazily poured into his body, constantly destroying the balance of the immortal energy in his immortal body.

                            ification.

Zhang Daoxian hit Zhong Kui on the chest with his palm, knocking away the long knife that had penetrated his body.

Zhong Kui turned around in mid-air, his body suddenly transformed into the image of a red devil, and his feet hit the ground heavily.

 “You are not Zhong Kui!” Zhang Daoxian roared.

 “I am Zhong Kui.”

The red devil's body suddenly burned with bursts of flames. He reached out and touched the long knife, and the long knife suddenly turned into a fire knife: "Zhang Daoxian, it's time to settle the accounts between us."

"There is also an account between us." Before Zhong Kui finished speaking, a demonic figure suddenly appeared behind Zhong Kui. It was the demon king from the demon world.

"How could you two..." Zhang Daoxian was so shocked that his soul trembled and he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Kill!" Unfortunately, Zhong Kui didn't give him any explanation. He brandished his long knife and charged towards him at high speed.

Zhang Daoxian dragged his injured body to fight with him. The sound of fierce fighting soon attracted countless onlookers.

 But in the face of a battle of this level, those ordinary warriors didn’t even dare to get close!

Dozens of rounds later, Zhang Daoxian, whose wounds kept opening, became afraid and was about to abandon Zhong Kui and run away. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of Uncle Jiu coming towards him from the corner of his eye, and hurriedly said: "Taoist Master Lin, help me slay the demon."

Uncle Jiu summoned the Purple Ying Sword with a solemn expression. The human sword merged into one and rushed towards the battlefield at high speed.

It's just that while he was flying, his aim was deflected at the last moment. The fairy sword shining with purple light penetrated deeply into Zhang Daoxian's body and nailed him to the wall.

 “You, you guys!”

Zhang Daoxian watched Zhong Kui come to Uncle Jiu's side, his face full of shock and fear.

 “Poof!”

Zhong Kui still didn't talk nonsense at all. The long knife turned into black light and slashed hard at the immortal's neck. The blade penetrated three inches into the bone, but it failed to cut off the head.

“Ah ah ah...” Zhang Daoxian looked up to the sky and roared, and his soul suddenly left his body.

Uncle Jiu flipped his hands and took out a golden talisman and threw it on the soul in front of him.

 With a "boom", the talisman and the soul exploded together, and smoke and dust flew everywhere in an instant... (End of this chapter)
