Chapter 14

Chu Jinglan had used up all his energy at the hands of his mother and Xiao Mo. He was exhausted both physically and mentally, and returned to his room weak and exhausted.

I thought he should take a rest, but I didn't expect that the King of Rolls would be the King of Rolls. He meditated on the spot, and even the system was stunned.

System: “Wow, that’s pretty cool.”

Xiao Mo nodded: "It feels like a senior high school student who is sick and does exercises."

The sky was gradually getting dark. Xiao Mo saw Chu Jinglan's face gradually getting calmer while meditating, so he asked the system, "He is also good at regulating his breathing for recovery, right?"

The system affirmed: “Of course.”

"Okay, there's nothing for us to do here." Xiao Mo, "Let's go back to the Sea of ​​Consciousness to practice the Heart Technique."

The system was stunned for a moment: "Hey, at this time every day, shouldn't you go to the second banyan tree outside the courtyard to enjoy the breeze, look at the red birds on the branches, take a walk along the flowerbed, and then go back to sleep early?"

The retired old man's leisurely life is just like this.

"That was before I didn't have to practice. Now my vacation is over."

Xiao Mo had no regrets about the lost vacation: "I have retained human sleeping habits, but my inner demon body does not need to sleep, and I do not have to worry about sudden death. It is so convenient. I have already made a plan. From now on, I will practice the mind method every night and practice the music theory method during the day, so that I can have a baby as soon as possible and cultivate the human form as soon as possible."

System: ...Excuse me, I almost forgot that this host who has been salty for a long time after traveling through the book was also a king of volume.

It would be great if he could pay more attention to Chu Jinglan and also take the mission into consideration QAQ!

It would be a waste of the inner demon's identity if he didn't play the game of taking possession of others and fight with the original body for the shell!

The inner demon mist disappeared from the air. After he left, Chu Jinglan opened his eyes in surprise and looked towards the place where the inner demon disappeared.

The inner demon did not take advantage of his weakness to do anything harmful to him.

Chu Jinglan's eyes darkened gradually, and no one knew what he was thinking about. Then he slowly closed his eyes and continued to regulate his breathing.

Xiao Mo returned to the sea of ​​consciousness, and the black mist ball fell to the ground and turned into a handsome young man. He took out the "Magic Sound Book" and began to recite the first level of the heart method silently.

The technique of the Magic Sound Book is magic sound, and the heart method is called Confuse Heart, which is tailor-made for inner demons. Even if other demon cultivators want to practice, they have to consider whether they will have a nervous breakdown before learning to bewitch people's hearts. However, inner demons are naturally good at manipulating people's hearts because of their racial advantages, and do not have such troubles.

After Xiao Mo memorized the first chapter of the Heart Sutra, he began to meditate under the peach tree in his own courtyard.

When the inner demon has no physical body, the consciousness is the body, and the body is the consciousness. The soul wanders around the universe, and the mind is confused. The way of the inner demon is also a mysterious door.

Xiao Mo was immersed in the wonderful door of concentration. Outside the small courtyard, the black mist in the sea of ​​consciousness, which had been peaceful and quiet, suddenly became active when Xiao Mo was practicing.

The thick black mist moved slowly at an extremely slow speed. There were one or two strands of mist that were almost invisible to the naked eye and floated around Xiao Mo. It should have been a very strange scene, but the black mist gently wrapped around Xiao Mo and melted into him.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the space Xiao Mo opened up in his sea of ​​consciousness seems to have grown a little bit.

Xiao Mo knew that he had entered a strange state. He seemed to be floating in the air, but the aura around him was like water, smooth yet with a slight resistance. He felt that when he raised his hand to touch it, a warm current instantly flowed through his body, making him feel lazy and numb.

His mind landed on the anchor, examining himself and external objects clearly and vaguely. The black thread extended between himself and the world, connecting, restraining, and also an inseparable rope.

Xiao Mo's consciousness floated in this strange state for a long time. When he opened his eyes, a whole night had passed.

The system greeted him: "Good morning, host!"

Xiao Mo felt relaxed and happy: "Good morning."

He stood up, without any numbness in his legs, and his movements were very smooth. Xiao Mo could clearly feel his own changes. He nodded with satisfaction, and then became a little worried: "I seem to have become lighter again. When the mission is completed and I turn back into a human, I won't lose the habit of walking, right?"

"Unless a cultivator has a special skill, most of them walk lightly, so you don't have to worry," the system said, "but host, you look even more evil."

When Xiao Mo heard this, he immediately went to the small pond in the yard and took a picture of himself.

Just as the system said, the red lotus between his eyebrows seemed to be more vivid and gorgeous. His eyes were still the same eyes, but they made people feel more beautiful.

If we start from the stereotype, it cannot be said that Xiao Mo's aura has nothing to do with the noble and upright people, but it can be said that he is not like them at all.

Xiao Mo touched the corner of his eye and asked, "Is this what happens when you practice magic?"

"No, there are also some that become uglier." The system was responsible for exaggerating, "Of course, it's better to become prettier!"

Seeing himself going further and further down the path of evil, Xiao Mo comforted himself: "It doesn't matter. Even if I cultivate into a human form, outsiders will only see a face similar to Chu Jinglan. After completing the mission and regaining my identity, I will stop being a demon cultivator."

Xiao Xinmo looks evil, what does he have to do with Xiao Mo?

Xiao Mo stretched his waist and touched the leaves of the peach tree. His peach and pear trees were only in shape but not capable of blooming and bearing fruit. Even if he asked, he would have to wait until Chu Jinglan Yuanying and the sun rose and the moon set in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Xiao Mo asked the system: "What time is it now?"

The inner demon should be able to control the actions of the main body at any time, but there are still limitations for Xiao Mo now.

If he wanted to see what Chu Jinglan saw at that moment, he had to step out of the courtyard, through the black fog, and go to Chu Jinglan's territory in the sea of ​​consciousness to see what was happening outside. When he was too lazy to pass by, Xiao Mo would ask the system what time it was outside.

The system also has an alarm function, reporting the time. It is already the morning practice time for Chu Jinglan.

Xiao Mo nodded and turned to walk into the attic. The system missed the plot yesterday and didn't know that Xiao Mo decided not to disturb Chu Jinglan when he was practicing, so it asked in confusion: "Host, aren't you going out?"

"I have decided to stagger my time with Chu Jinglan. I won't run out to play the flute while he is training." Xiao Mo said as he opened the Magic Sound Book. "But time cannot be wasted. I will memorize all the spells that follow first."

System: “…Wow.”

The system looked at Chu Jinglan, who was overseas and got up on time to practice even though he was in so much pain yesterday that he couldn't walk steadily. It then looked at Xiao Mo, who was domestic and didn't miss any spare time to recite the text seriously.

The system sighed, humans are so curry.

Fortunately, he is a system, so it’s great that he doesn’t have to be a human.

In addition to memorizing the mental method, you also have to comprehend and experience it yourself. If you only memorize a few lines, that would be too fast. However, the mental method and exercises will slow down your reading speed, focus your eyes on each word, and chew it carefully.

Xiao Mo was so absorbed in reading that he forgot everything else. When he closed the book, he came to his senses and checked the system time.

It’s already past Chu Jinglan’s lunch time!

People in China can build houses and decorate them, but trees cannot even bear fruit. So food can look different, but it only has the outside and no inside. It is all cold and has no fragrance or taste. If Xiao Mo wants to smell the steaming food, he can only go outside.

He always misses breakfast every day and lunch. Of the three meals a day, the only one he can smell is dinner!

But Chu Jinglan would only prepare a sumptuous dinner when she was deliberately trying to annoy him. The rest of the time he would just have some light porridge and side dishes.

Xiao Mo's mood suddenly fell.

He sighed and put the secret book away. Now in the world of cultivation, he could only use short-term goals to give himself some expectations in life and make life more meaningful. For example, cultivation was for the human form and warm sunshine. For another example, the happiest thing every day was to smell the food at mealtime.

After all, the primary and ultimate goal of every inner demon is to give up its true self. He doesn't have this need, so he can only find some other fun to prevent himself from becoming a stagnant pool of water.

Today's happiness is gone just like that.

Xiao Mo was melancholy and his happiness was gone, but he had to continue his cultivation. He took out his flute and prepared to go outside to practice the music.

Look at it brightly, the time missed is not too much. What if Chu Jinglan hasn’t finished eating today?

...Well, that's impossible.

Chu Jinglan would only deliberately slow down when eating in front of him.

Xiao Mo was preparing to go out with his flute in a melancholy mood, when the system's surprised voice sounded: "Host, Chu Jinglan has entered the sea of ​​consciousness again!"

Xiao Mo paused. In fact, there was no need for the system to remind him. When Chu Jinglan entered the sea of ​​consciousness this time, Xiao Mo had already sensed it vaguely.

The changes brought about by cultivation are gradually manifesting. Xiao Mo, a man with golden elixir cultivation but only using one tenth or one twelfth of his inner demon, has finally reached the strength that a golden elixir peak should have.

Ever since he was driven away by Xiao Mo in the Sea of ​​Consciousness last time, Chu Jinglan realized that with the current strength of his consciousness, he would be completely powerless against his inner demons in the Sea of ​​Consciousness, so he never entered again.

What kind of wind is blowing today? Why did it bring him here?

Xiao Mo thought about it, then changed direction while holding the flute, pushed away the dark mist and walked towards Chu Jinglan's territory. He also gave Chu Jinglan's territory a name: Yuehu Community.

And his own territory is called: Oriental Garden.

This name is very 21st century, and it’s true. Xiao Mo owned a house at a young age, before graduating from university. Although the house number can only be written as "Unnamed Road, Southeast Corner of Chu Jinglanshi Sea, Xiuzhen World", it is a three-story independent building with a yard, so you can tell that it is a mansion!

When Xiao Mo emerged from the black mist, his eyes met Chu Jinglan's across a lake.

Chu Jinglan's eyes seemed to be roaming around just now, but they stopped after Xiao Mo appeared.

He frowned slightly as he looked at Xiao Mo's increasingly evil temperament. The face of the inner demon that looked like his own was going further and further down the evil path, and it seemed that he could not be stopped.

Chu Jinglan prepared himself mentally before he could take his eyes off the face of his inner demon.

Xiao Mo tapped the flute lightly in his palm: "Rare guest, why do you want to enter the Sea of ​​Consciousness?"

Chu Jinglan said indifferently: "This is my sea of ​​consciousness."

The original body comes to the sea of ​​consciousness, and can come and go as it pleases. Do I need to report to my inner demons?

Chu Jinglan was as calm as a rock in front of his inner demon. The inner demon didn't even refute him and nodded: "That's right."

Xiao Mo also introduced it to him: "You should be able to sense that this area is your territory. I call it Yuehu Community." Xiao Mo pointed to the black fog not far away with his flute, "I live behind it."

Yuehu Community? It sounds a bit strange. Chu Jinglan silently read the name and felt that it was not a good choice.

Following Xiao Mo's words, he looked at the thick black fog without making any comments. After Xiao Mo finished speaking, he glanced at him indifferently, and then his figure gradually faded, and then slowly disappeared in the sea of ​​consciousness.

This is out.

Xiao Mo:?

I went to the sea of ​​knowledge and did nothing, I didn't even quarrel with him, I just said a few words and left? ?

Xiao Mo was completely confused by Chu Jinglan: "System, what do you think he came in for?"

The system doesn't know either: "Host, I think he is the same as you, both of us are hard to figure out."

Okay.

No matter what Chu Jinglan suddenly wanted to do, he proceeded according to the original plan. Xiao Mo came out of the sea of ​​consciousness, and his slender figure turned into a round ball. However, what attracted his attention more than the light was the fragrance floating in the air.

Xiao Mo was stunned.

However, there was still steaming food on Chu Jinglan's table. Judging from the size of the food, Chu Jinglan had just started eating.

Xiao Mo walked around the table in surprise and asked Chu Jinglan, "Why are you eating so late today?"

Chu Jinglan paused for a moment, but only for half a second, and continued to reach for the plate as if nothing had happened: "You've practiced too much."

"oh."

Xiao Mo had no doubts. Compared to this, the happiness that he thought he had lost suddenly returned, and he was doubly surprised! He happily did two and a half somersaults above the table, and couldn't wait to enjoy today's delicious meal.

Chu Jinglan looked at the inner demon's obviously happy expression, lowered his eyes and said nothing.

The system was surprised: "I paid attention to Chu Jinglan's schedule this morning, and I didn't see him practicing too much?"

Xiao Mo: “Hmm?”

"It was just that when it was time for dinner, he looked around and then seemed to be lost in thought, thinking about some complicated problem."

The reason why the system judged that Chu Jinglan was thinking about a complex problem was because his micro-expressions changed a lot at the time. According to the system's analysis, there were entanglements, struggles, etc., and it was obvious at first glance that it was definitely not a simple matter.

Xiao Mo followed the system's words and analyzed: "It is estimated that he spent too much time thinking about the problem, so he was late for dinner. Thinking about problems is also a way to cultivate one's mind and wisdom, so it makes sense."

Xiao Mo sniffed the aroma of the food, feeling very happy and in a very good mood. He joked, "It's impossible that he noticed that I was not here and was waiting for me to have dinner together, right?"

The system highly approves of the host: "Yeah, that's impossible, hahaha!"

Haha, the system just discovered something.

Well, if that's true, then the mystery of why Chu Jinglan appeared in the Sea of ​​Consciousness is solved!

You see, at mealtime I found that the Inner Demon who was always punctual was not there, so I felt strange and went into the Sea of ​​Consciousness to see what the Inner Demon was doing. I saw that the Inner Demon was still the same, so I didn’t say much and went straight out of the Sea of ​​Consciousness.

The logical chain is complete.

But that's impossible. Even though Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan quarrel less, that's just because Xiao Mo has let it go. From Chu Jinglan's perspective, Xiao Mo is a demon in his heart that will fight him to the death in the future. Vigilance and disgust are his normal attitudes.

The system came to the correct conclusion: It’s just a coincidence!

The author has something to say:

Xiao Mo: Impossible.

System: That’s right, it’s impossible, absolutely impossible!

Chu Jinglan: ...
