Chapter 263 Conversation
Han Yueshan followed his senior sister farther and farther, until they were far away from Jianshan and even close to Jiancheng.
He suddenly stopped and said, "Senior Sister?"
Tao Zi heard the caution in his voice, glanced at the empty surroundings, turned around and said, "It's okay here too."
Seeing her casually using the soundproofing device, Han Yueshan frowned and asked, "Senior Sister, what's going on?"
Tao Zi did not answer the question, but asked: "What did you notice?"
He looked at his senior sister and said without hesitation, "When I saw her just now, I thought of someone."
Tao Zi asked, "Who?"
"The strange monk in Xulan Palace."
She smiled and asked, "Do you think so, Senior Sister?"
Han Yueshan shook his head without hesitation and said, "It's just a resemblance."
"picture……"
He continued in an uncertain tone, "Or rather, one step away."
His words surprised Tao Zi: "Yueshan, you are so sensitive."
Han Yue's heart sank, and he looked at his senior sister intently.
The senior sister smiled slightly and looked towards the empty air on the right, where the inner demon was smiling at her.
"Yueshan, you should know that Senior Sister's past is not very good."
"I guessed it." Han Yueshan glanced to the right and said cautiously, "Senior Sister, what's there?"
Tao Zi answered very calmly: "My inner demon."
He froze in place, and after perhaps less than three seconds, he anxiously said, "I'll go find the Flower Monk."
"Being kind is useless." Tao Zi stopped his junior brother who was about to leave, and said calmly, "You don't have to worry. My inner demon is almost as bad as a piece of trash. I will recover after a while."
The smile on the inner demon's face twisted slightly.
Tao Zi ignored the roar of the inner demon beside her ear and said, "Yue Shan, you are very sensitive to demons."
Han Yueshan said in confusion, "Senior Sister, what's wrong? Isn't the most important thing right now your inner demon?"
She smiled and said gently, "Then go find the Flower Monk when you get back. Do it quietly and don't let anyone else know."
"Why?"
Tao Zi said jokingly, "There's something wrong with my inner demon, and I can't let others know. Yueshan, you're the first one to know so far."
She didn't think of telling Yue Qingya and the others. After all, there was no need. This inner demon could only be solved by herself. Telling others would only cause trouble.
If Han Yueshan hadn't been sensitive enough, she would have remained silent.
Han Yueshan suddenly felt a sense of mission and nodded frantically: "Senior Sister, don't worry, I will absolutely keep the secret."
Tao Zi said: "Of course I believe you, let's leave it at that for now, otherwise Xi Jing and the others will worry."
He hummed seriously.
Seeing Tao Zi about to leave, Han Yueshan suddenly realized a problem and asked, "Senior Sister, why did you suddenly have a demon in your heart?"
Tao Zi paused, looked at him, and said calmly, "I just discovered one thing—those noble men who used to stand on the high ground of morality and righteousness and accuse me are nothing more than that."
Han Yueshan looked at her in astonishment, then followed her and whispered, "I don't know why they blamed you, Senior Sister, but I don't think you need to take their words to heart."
"Um?"
He continued seriously, "Senior Sister, you're really good. Those people just don't understand you, so they say nonsense."
Tao Zi's eyes were gentle. She raised her hand and patted Han Yueshan's head, saying, "Well, Senior Sister doesn't take their words to heart. She just thinks they are ridiculous."
The two of them were walking back, but they met Xi Jing and others on the road.
"Senior Sister, Senior Brother, how are you guys? The competition up there is almost over, and you haven't come back yet."
Xi Jing stole a glance at Tao Zi. She actually wanted to ask how her senior sister was doing, but she didn't dare to say it too clearly.
Han Yueshan said nonchalantly: "We chatted for a while, it's okay, let's go."
Zhao Xuesong took a deep breath and nodded repeatedly.
After they walked back to Jiancheng, Han Yueshan said, "You two should accompany Senior Sister back to the inn first. Senior Brother still has things to do."
Xi Jing and Zhao Xue nodded and said, "Okay."
Tao Zi closed the door under their worried gazes.
The inner demon was still whinning, and the little fox was still at my cousin's place and hadn't come back. It was the only demon making noise in the whole room.
Tao Zi said coldly: "You are so noisy."
Seeing that she ignored him, the inner demon's anger soared to the highest point: "Who are you calling a waste? Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Call my inner demon a waste."
"How am I useless?"
After the inner demon cursed angrily, Tao Zi's mood strangely improved.
She casually took out the puppet and asked her inner demon with a smile, "Do you know what secret it holds?"
"How should I know?"
She took out another necklace: "Do you know where the third necklace is?"
"How could I possibly know?"
Tao Zi extended the bracelet and said, "Do you know where the right path for me is?"
The inner demon said bluntly: "Possessed by the devil."
She ignored the answer and said, "Look, you're really useless. You don't know anything."
The more violent her inner demons were, the better her mood became.
At nightfall, Hua Monk arrived, his expression solemn: "Fellow Daoist Tao, Junior Brother Han said he had something important to tell me. What's the matter?"
Tao Zi smiled and said soothingly, "It's nothing. I just need Fellow Daoist Hua to teach me some Demon-Slaying Heart Sutras. I don't need any unique Heart Sutras, just the common Heart Sutras known to all Buddhist practitioners. Is that okay?"
The Flower Monk touched his shiny head and said, "Another demon?"
She looked at him and said, "Again?"
"Yes, a demon also appeared in the Cheng family and was discovered by Senior Cheng. The Cheng family suspected that it was possessed by a demon, so they asked me to recite sutras many times, but it was of no use. It's really strange."
Tao Zi guessed: "In the Cheng family, is that person of high status?"
The flower monk looked at her in surprise and asked, "How did you know that, fellow Taoist?"
She smiled casually and said, "If you weren't of such a high status, you wouldn't have concealed this matter and used An Ran as a pretext to detain you."
"So that's how it is." He touched his head again and said, "Luckily Yueshan arrived at the right time—that person was sent to the Sword Sect, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come here."
Tao Zi was about to speak when Han Yueshan, standing beside her, became anxious and said, "Why are you saying all this? You haven't even said whether you can teach me or not."
"Of course, Fellow Daoist Tao doesn't need those high-level Heart Sutras, so there's nothing I can't teach you."
The sooner the better, the later. Hua Seng immediately started teaching Tao Zi, and she learned patiently.
The inner demon looked at her mockingly, attacking her from time to time: "Tao Zi, you actually think these Heart Sutras can be of any use to me?"
She ignored the nonsense and thanked the flower monk.
Han Yueshan was listening on the side, wanting to speak but hesitant, but seeing that his senior sister's condition seemed to have improved, he fell silent.
Mo Yu next door opened his eyes silently, turned his head to look in the direction of Tao Zi, sighed slightly, and the extremely low sound dissipated in the room, no one knew.
"Is it a blessing or a curse to be possessed by inner demons?"
