Chapter 257 This Inner Demon, That Inner Demon
Chapter 257 This Inner Demon, That Inner Demon
Li Fuyi saw his eyes flickering, as if he was hiding something, and slapped the wooden table in the pavilion.
He almost spilled the ground ginseng powder, and received a stern glare from Qiao Qian.
"What are you suddenly going crazy for?!"
"This spiritual ginseng took several days to prepare, using nearly a hundred herbs. If you sprinkle it, your master will have to wait a few more days."
Li Fuyi's hand shrank, but since it concerned the safety of his master, he was eager to know what Qiao Qianan was hiding.
Still staring at Qiao Qianan: "What are you hiding from me?!"
Qiao Qianan was not to be outdone and retorted: "What did I hide from you? Nonsense!"
"You're not my patient, so why should I hide it from you?!"
Li Fuyi pursed her lips, which made Qiao Qianan's hair stand on end.
I had no choice but to say it out loud: "I have a guess, but don't get excited when I tell you."
Li Fuyi gritted her teeth and said, "You say."
"Is it possible that your master... is..." Qiao Qianan didn't want to lean on that, but now that everything else has been ruled out, there is really nothing he can do.
"What is it?" Li Fuyi only hated that Qiao Qianan was hesitant and awkward in his words, which was a waste of time.
Qiao Qianan was being urged to hurry up, and he blurted out two words: "Inner demon."
In an instant, the tense atmosphere between the two of them suddenly froze.
Jianli brushed his clothes, clenched his fists, and his face turned pale. Qiao Qianan sighed, "It's not certain yet. It's just my guess. Although I've said it, what do you think?"
Li Fuyi clenched and unclenched his fists, recalling his master's symptoms these days...
The master in the nightmare was extremely frightened and his temperament changed drastically. However, after waking up, he had no memory of anything, as if nothing had happened.
He even didn't notice that his own immortal veins were secretly damaged.
It would have been fine if it hadn't been mentioned, but after Qiao Qianan mentioned it, the symptoms became about 70% true.
When it comes to medical skills in the Piaomiao world, there are only a few people who have reached the pinnacle of mastery. Excluding those old monsters who have lived in seclusion, Qiao Qianan is already the top figure among these masters.
Although he spoke harshly to himself these days, he was very diligent and responsible in dealing with his master's affairs.
Whenever the master had a nightmare, he would stay by his bedside all night long, just like himself, and try every possible way to solve the problem.
What's more, he could also see that Qiao Qianan's feelings towards Senior Sister Lin Moran seemed to have changed.
Even for the sake of his senior sister, he would never joke about his master's Anhui.
But the matter of inner demons is extremely serious for any practitioner.
At the very least, there will be no progress and all efforts will be in vain. At the worst, the body will die and the soul will return to dust.
Although the master had very strict requirements for his fellow senior sisters and brothers, he was not as competitive as others in terms of cultivation. He was more open-minded and went with the flow, acting according to the situation.
Even during those years when he hadn't made any progress and couldn't see the way forward, the master never brought up his realm or cultivation level.
Now that this thought suddenly popped up in his mind, for a moment he was unsure whether he should think in that direction.
Thinking of those things that he had forgotten in the corner of his memory, he suddenly had some frightening and very resistant thoughts in his mind.
Could it be... that Master's inner demons were triggered by excessive worrying due to the events of his past, and now that he had been brought here to escape the world?!
Shaking their heads, the master and disciple got rid of the ominous thought.
"Master Qiao, this... seems a bit like the early stages of the inner demon, where the inner demon is born and hides, without self-examination."
"Mr. Li can start from this direction and find out the truth during the next nightmare." Having said this, he paused for a moment.
Ask Qiao Qianan for advice: "If it is really... Master Qiao, is there any way?"
Qiao Qianan's shoulders slumped, and he frowned, "If the inner demon can be cured by medical skills, how could the great masters of the past be willing to perish..."
He laughed bitterly at himself and said, "Then my Medicine Immortal Mansion has long been the largest sect in the Misty World, and it is still very popular."
……
Because they were concerned about Mo Zheng's illness, the two ignored Mo Zheng who happened to be in the back mountain.
Mo Zheng was also shocked when he heard this, but then he thought, he was transported from a book and is not a native of the place.
With Tongzi by his side, there's no way he would have any inner demons, right?
While he was in a state of confusion, he randomly found a direction and flew away, while he hurriedly asked Tongzi for clarification:
(Tongzi, Tongzi!)
"Hey, Fanfan, what's wrong?" Tongzi said, and Mo Zheng realized belatedly that the lively Tongzi seemed a little too calm recently.
Unlike before, when I would often take the initiative to approach him to joke around and share trivial things.
(Do I have a demon in my heart? I just listened to Li Fuyi and Qiao Qianan discussing this. I've fainted three times in this month.)
Tongzi's source program stagnated, did the host still discover it?
[That...isn't considered an inner demon?]
But before Mo Zheng could completely relax, it suddenly said: [To be honest, it seems that it is barely... almost.]
(ah?!)
[Hey hey... Fanfan, don't be anxious, just listen to what I'm saying!]
Tongzi thought about it and decided to reveal the secret that he had spent three sets of protective shields to keep for these days.
Mo Zheng prepared himself mentally and took a few deep breaths. (Okay, go ahead. I'm listening.)
"You probably don't remember that you once asked me to erase the memory of Li Fuyi's revenge on you..." Tongzi said, while closely observing Mo Zheng's reaction. (P.S. Little Orange's friendly reminder, the plot of Chapter 46 is here~)
Mo Zheng suddenly realized, (If you don’t tell me… I really don’t seem to remember it.)
Even if I try hard to recall, my memory seems so vague that I can only roughly remember that such an incident happened, but I really can't remember any specific details.
Since Tongzi mentioned it now, could it be that the nightmares and amnesia he had recently had something to do with this?
(Is there something wrong with this erased memory?)
Tongzi nodded repeatedly, [Yes!]
[Ever since the hero won a great victory and defeated the conspiracy of the ghost domain in the ethereal world... and then formed a bond with you, Fanfan...] Tongzi said bala la.
Mo Zheng was confused and didn't understand what was said, but he seemed to have heard something.
But he still had some guesses: (You mean he stayed here too long?)
(Or is it that the existence of my partner has slowed him down, causing trouble in this little world?)
Tongzi glanced at the Tiandao module, which flickered slightly and almost unnoticeably, and decided to sell it!
[I also think this is possible. This stinking Heavenly Dao just can't bear to see you live a peaceful life.]
[The current situation is that either you break through the realm and follow Li Fuyi to ascend to the next realm; or...] Either you die in the Misty Realm, leaving Li Fuyi with nothing to worry about.
Tongzi didn't say the rest of the sentence because he felt that the Heavenly Dao needed to be punished. When Li Fuyi's memory was restored and Fanfan was gone again, wouldn't he go crazy?
[In short, if I want to upgrade, I must look inward and understand myself. I'm afraid this memory can no longer be hidden.] Tongzi did have a sealed backup, but those dark moments were not very pleasant memories.
She asked Mo Zheng cautiously: "But those things are... painful. If you really think about them, can you bear it?"
