Chapter 56 Mom and Dad, I'm Poisoned
When Chi Yu heard this, he felt that something was wrong. It seemed like a sting operation.
But for sting operation, you have to stay nearby and watch to catch them in the act. If they run away, by the time you go back, the food will have already been eaten.
Chi Yu didn't say anything else and went straight to the restaurant, bypassing Senior Brother Xuan Ji.
Xie Xiyi stood there and watched him run away. Xiaoqiu came over from the side and said to him, "Your Highness, why did you leave that demon behind in the first place?"
Xiaoqiu felt that he knew his prince quite well. He was very nice to his own people, but too cold to outsiders. Because of this, he could not use many methods, because Buddhist methods require a righteous mind and right thoughts to be used.
When he learned that it was the demon left behind by his own prince, he found it incomprehensible because it was not something he would do.
Xie Xiyi said calmly, "No reason."
It was simply because Long Aotian was too decisive at the time, and Xie Xiyi wanted him to slow down, that was all.
Of course, there was also a small reason. The demon had never seen blood. With half human blood, it was still somewhat pure. If Long Aotian forced himself to kill it, he would inevitably fall into regret in the future, which would also hinder his practice.
But it was he who asked the demon to stay, and it was also he who wanted to kill it now.
Of course, Xie Xiyi could sense the reason for his change of mood.
"Go back." Xie Xiyi said.
*
Chi Yu rushed back to the restaurant, but Wu Yunsu was not in the prince's room, so he went downstairs to ask the waiter.
The waiter was deeply impressed. Chi Yu spoke directly, "The customer entrusted the girl to the kitchen back then. She should be playing in the kitchen now."
Chi Yu rushed to the kitchen and saw Wu Yunsu sitting in the yard, holding a piece of cake in his hand, looking at it with a frown, but not eating.
When they saw him coming, their eyes lit up, they threw away the bread, opened their arms to him, and asked him to embrace them.
The uncle from the kitchen came out with some cakes. Seeing the cake dropped on the ground, he quickly ran over, bent down to pick it up, blew on it, put it in his mouth and bit it, then handed the cake in his hand to Wu Yunsu, "This is delicious, dear, eat this."
Wu Yunsu quickly glanced at Chi Yu, then reached out to take it and took a bite. The uncle laughed and said, "This is soft, isn't it delicious?"
Chi Yu walked over, picked it up, and taught it, "Say thank you."
Wu Yunsu said obediently, "Thank you."
His voice was still as sweet as ever, and the uncle smiled happily, "You're welcome, you're welcome."
He didn't doubt that Chi Yu and the child were not a family. They looked very similar, so how could they not be a family?
Chi Yu noticed that the uncle's arm was wrapped in gauze, and the gauze was still oozing blood. He asked nervously, "Did it hurt you?"
The uncle laughed and said, "No, no, how could a little girl like her hurt me? My apprentice cut me with a knife, and the child felt sorry for me when she saw it, and licked the wound for me."
Chi Yu: "..."
Does he feel sorry for you?
He wants to eat you.
He lowered his head to look at Wu Yunsu, who rested her head on his shoulder, avoiding his death stare.
Chi Yu couldn't help but laugh. After saying goodbye to the uncle, he lowered his voice and said to Wu Yunsu, "Wu Yunsu, since you also recognize me as your father, then I have to make it clear to you that you cannot eat humans or raw meat. If I catch you doing that once, I will kill you."
Although he said so, Wu Yunsu was not afraid.
What he was afraid of was the man he called Senior Brother Xuan Ji. He looked young, but he knew everything in his heart. Xuan Ji was the mortal who had deliberately injured him. The look he gave him before leaving was full of meaning.
Wu Yunsu understood that he wanted to make a mistake.
This is just a preliminary test. If he gets the chance, he will definitely find a way to kill him.
Wu Yunsu didn't quite understand. If she hated him, why did she keep him in the first place?
His mind was full of thoughts, but he didn't show it on his face. He answered obediently, "I don't want to eat, Dad. I'll be obedient."
Chi Yu: Ouch.
So cute.
Apart from anything else, Wu Yunsuhua's face was truly beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Such a beautiful child was naturally lovable.
Chi Yu actually didn't think it would follow the path of a demon. Five hundred years later, Wu Yunsu's whole body was full of spiritual energy, and it was clear that he was a human cultivator.
Therefore, he felt that Wu Yunsu could still walk on the right path, but human desires were sometimes difficult to curb, let alone demons whose nature was difficult to change?
Therefore, Chi Yu did not agree with Brother Xuan Ji's practice of sting enforcement.
Human nature cannot stand the test, so can demons stand the test?
Although Chi Yu didn't say it out loud, he could imagine what Senior Brother Xuan Ji would say - he would definitely say: If you can't even resist this little temptation, how can you turn to cultivating humanity?
Thinking of this, Chi Yu couldn't help but laugh, feeling that he now knew Senior Brother Xuan Ji very well.
Senior Brother Xuan Ji was the sun that he could reach, but Xie Xiyi was too far away.
In the original novel, Xie Xiyi is described as gentle as jade, meticulous and considerate in every way, which is more consistent with the current Senior Brother Xuan Ji.
As for this, he didn't want to think too much about it. He had too many things to think about, and this didn't even take priority.
Cultivation itself also requires a clear mind without distractions. Complex thoughts will interfere with cultivation.
Therefore, Chi Yu no longer thought about Xie Xiyi. Now he only had his senior brother Xuan Ji.
*
The next day, Chi Yu took some time to get up and tie Wu Yunsu's long hair into two small buns on the left and right, exactly the same as Nezha's hairstyle. He couldn't help but use some ribbons to tie two bows for him.
Wu Yunsu let him dress up as he pleased, not getting angry at all. Chi Yu simply got some red paint and dotted his forehead with cinnabar red.
After the treatment, she couldn't help but praise: "It looks so beautiful! How can I be so skillful? I can dress you up like a fairy from heaven."
Chi Yu took out the mercury mirror and showed it to Wu Yunsu. "How is it? Does it look good?"
Wu Yunsu looked left and right and said in a childish voice, "Dad looks good."
Chi Yu was stunned, then laughed, "You're so sweet?"
He put away the mirror and carried the person out. The skirt was quite long, which could cover Wu Yunsu's insect body tightly, and only its delicate upper body could be seen.
Chi Yu reached out to knock on Xie Xiyi's door. Just as he knocked, Xiaoqiu poked his head out from the side and said, "Brother Aotian, His Highness went out early this morning."
Chi Yu was struck by a bolt from the blue. "What? Senior Brother Xuan Ji went out? Where did he go? Why didn't he tell me?"
As he spoke, he opened the system panel. He rarely looked at the system panel anymore and didn't want to develop a dependence on it.
When I opened it, I found that Senior Brother Xuan Ji had not walked far, just across the street.
His emotions calmed down and he said, "I was so scared. I thought he had left us."
Seeing his attitude, Xiaoqiu seemed to know where the prince had gone. Thinking of the secrets he had, he did not ask any more questions and only said, "How could the prince abandon us? Brother Aotian, how could you have such an idea?"
Chi Yu: "...your Highness has a criminal record."
Xiaoqiu remembered, "Oh, yes, His Highness only plays like this occasionally, most of the time he is very reliable."
They arrived downstairs and ordered breakfast for the table. Just as they were about to eat, they heard the people next to them chatting, "The head of the Demon Suppression Division returned to the court today. His Majesty personally hosted a banquet for him. I heard he hunted a demonic dragon and brought it back."
"Dragon? Really? Aren't dragons something that only exists in storybooks?"
"You are so ignorant. The world is in chaos right now. There are more than just dragons. There are even auspicious beasts like the Qilin. But I overheard the officials in the Demon Suppression Division calling those auspicious beasts spirit beasts. The chief monk uses these spirit beasts as mounts."
"When will they be back? I'll go check it out."
"I heard that the head of the Demon Suppression Division has never changed. He is already a centenarian, yet he remains incredibly agile. I'm afraid he obtained some immortality secret from a demon and presented it to Your Majesty, thus keeping Your Majesty eternally young."
Xiaoqiu couldn't help but say, "The demon race can indeed live for a long time, but if mortals can also live that long, they can only sign a symbiotic contract to share their lifespans. But if the demon race dies, the mortals will not survive."
His nagging voice attracted the attention of the onlookers, "...Hey, you know a lot, kid."
Xiaoqiu said: "Of course, I am also well-read."
Someone asked, "Then how do you say the demon race signs this symbiotic contract?"
The ball said, "It requires the heart blood of both the demon race and the mortal race. However, the demon race's heart blood is extremely strong and most mortals cannot withstand it. They will have to risk their lives to successfully complete the contract."
"Impossible! How could our Majesty sign a symbiotic contract with a monster? Where did you read that story from, kid? You actually said it so seriously, aren't you afraid of making a fool of yourself?"
"Exactly, what's this symbiotic contract? If you don't know, you might think I'm reading some strange storybook."
Chi Yu quickly covered Xiaoqiu's mouth and said, "Alright, alright, there's no need to explain science to them. They are just mortals."
However, he said with some worry: "Xiaoqiu, you have to practice quickly. The lifespan of a Qi Refining Stage Great Perfection is only 200 years. If you keep slacking off, we will soon be in the same boat."
Xiaoqiu pried his hand apart and whispered, "Brother Aotian, don't worry. Our family has a special technique. You can reach the Golden Core stage by practicing it casually."
He continued to tell Chi Yu like a big sieve: "My brothers and sisters are also at the Golden Core stage, and the worst one has also reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Cultivation is not that difficult for us."
Chi Yu covered his mouth again, "Okay, stop talking, this is your family's secret, don't tell it."
Xiaoqiu said: "It doesn't matter, because it's Brother Aotian, so I said it."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion around him. "Open the city gate! The people from the Demon Suppression Division are back!"
"Wow, it really is a dragon! A dragon! A demon dragon! It's so huge!"
Suddenly, several people ran in from outside and tried to pull their friends and family who were still eating. "What are you eating? Stop eating! Go grab a seat! There's a huge monster!"
"Come with me quickly, I've got someone to take a seat so we can see the demon dragon up close!"
Most of the people in the restaurant ran away. Some took the opportunity to eat and free meals and ran away. The boss couldn't call them back, so he cried and cursed.
Chi Yu pulled out a large piece of gold from his low-level storage bag—a piece he had shoveled off the floor of Paradise Palace. He tossed the gold into the boss's arms and said generously, "No need to change. I'll pay them."
The boss was shocked and expressed his gratitude repeatedly. He cried with joy while holding the huge piece of gold.
Xiaoqiu couldn't help but sigh, "Morning mushrooms don't know the new moon and full moon, and cicadas don't know the spring and autumn. They will never know that in the world of cultivation, no one would want this kind of thing even if it rotted on the ground."
Chi Yu laughed and said, "You are not a fish, how can you understand the joy of a fish? If you are content, you will always be happy. People like us who practice cultivation, seeking the Tao, longevity, and ascension to the immortal world, are always chasing, always running around for resources for cultivation. Perhaps we are not as happy as ordinary people. Everyone has his or her own pursuits. However, the way of heaven is to take from the surplus and give to the deficiency; the way of man is to take from the deficiency and serve the surplus. [1] We transfer the gold and silver that the cultivation world has no use for to those who need it in the world, which can also be regarded as a kind of practice and merit."
Xiaoqiu was thoughtful. "That makes sense. No wonder there are so many scrap metals in your storage bag, Brother Aotian."
Chi Yu: "..."
It's an exaggeration to say that the little ball is just scrap metal.
They followed the crowd to the street. The streets of this city were beautifully planned and wide enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people. At this time, the wide street in the middle was made free by the crowd, and a team of black-clad soldiers came in from the distant city gate. They were wearing uniform black armor, and all of them were thin, with heroic looks and very imposing.
The leader should be the chief of the Demon Suppression Division who was chatting with the mortals in the restaurant. He was riding a... uh, a Moonlight Thousand Miles White?
Let’s not talk about this for now. The head of the Demon Suppression Division gave Chi Yu a bad feeling.
This person was dressed in black clothes and a black robe. He was very tall, wearing a black mask on his head, his long hair was tied into a long braid, and he wore huge thin gold hoop earrings on his ears, which made a crisp sound when they collided with the leather armor on his body.
Chi Yu didn't know why he had this feeling. He couldn't help but extend his spiritual sense and groped over carefully. As soon as he touched the other person's body, his spiritual sense sent a sharp pain. The pain made his whole body go limp and he almost fell to the ground.
At this moment, a strong arm reached out and held him up. Xie Xiyi's voice rang out, "What were you doing just now?"
Chi Yu was sweating profusely from the pain. He grabbed Xie Xiyi's arm with one hand to steady himself. He couldn't hold Wu Yunsu in his arms anymore and he fell down. Xiaoqiu caught him with his quick eyes and hands.
Chi Yu answered with some difficulty: "Spiritual consciousness, it hurts."
Xie Xiyi said, "Stretch it out."
Chi Yu slowly extended his consciousness that had retracted due to the pain, and it was soon wrapped up by Xie Xiyi's warm consciousness, and the pain was instantly relieved a lot.
"It's a poisonous intention." Xie Xiyi said.
"Poison? What is it?" Chi Yu finally recovered.
Xie Xiyi said: "This thing is used to prevent cultivators from peeping. If you touch it, you will be poisoned. If you don't detoxify, your spiritual consciousness will gradually atrophy."
Chi Yu: "..."
"Didn't I tell you not to use your spiritual sense casually?" Xie Xiyi asked in a somewhat stern tone.
Chi Yu said dryly, "I can't stop eating because of choking. If I don't use it when there's danger, I'll never grow up."
Xie Xiyi's tone softened a bit, "Don't be so anxious."
He glanced at the slowly approaching team and said, "Who did you bump into?"
Chi Yu said, "The one riding Yue Zhao."
Xie Xiyi said: "We need to find him to detoxify."
The surroundings began to boil over. "It really is a dragon! It's a dragon! It looks exactly like the picture!"
"Not necessarily. The painting is colorful. Why is this one so black?"
"A demon dragon, this must be a demon dragon."
Behind the leading soldier was a convoy made of long wooden planks. On top of it was a dead black demonic dragon. It was enormous, with black hair on its back, a ferocious head, and wide-open eyes. Black blood trickled through the planks onto the floor tiles. Some civilians couldn't help but grab a jar to catch the blood, but the guarding soldiers stopped them with swords and shouted, "The demon's blood is poisonous. Don't touch it."
Only then did the people retreat unwillingly.
Chi Yu stared with eyes wide open, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It really is a dragon! This is the first time I've seen a dragon."
Xiaoqiu said, "I heard that there are descendants of the dragon race in Wanqiong Continent, so most of the spirit beasts in Wanqiong Continent have the blood of dragon and phoenix. But this one is obviously not a true dragon, it is just a demon beast with some dragon blood."
Chi Yu turned his head and looked at Xie Xiyi: "Senior Brother Xuanji, take a look at the chief monk, is there something wrong with him?"
Xie Xiyi asked in return: "What do you think is wrong with him?"
Chi Yu said, "It makes me feel very uncomfortable, the kind that makes my hair stand on end."
Xie Xiyi said: "He is not a demon, he is a demon."
Chi Yu was stunned. "Demon tribe?"
This is the first time I've seen you in such a long time.
Chi Yu asked: "What is the prototype?"
Xie Xiyi said, "Dragon."
Chi Yu: "..."
Chi Yu felt like his CPU was about to burn out, and asked in surprise, "Is he a dragon?"
Xie Xiyi said, "It's just a demon dragon with some real dragon blood mixed in. If he cultivates well and is tempered by heavenly thunder, he might actually be able to return to his ancestral form and become a real dragon."
Chi Yu: "No, no, no, what I mean is, he is a demon, or a dragon, and then he works like a slave for mortals?"
Xiaoqiu touched his chin and said, "That's normal. Look, isn't this demon also our prisoner?"
Wu Yunsu called out in a soft voice, "Dad."
Chi Yu: "..."
Shui Chiyu didn't dare to speak up, so he just pretended to be deaf and dumb and said, "Brother Xuanji, let's go find him to detoxify him."
There were too many people around, and Chi Yu and his group had a hard time squeezing out, their hair was a lot messier.
Fortunately, when they arrived at the Demon Suppression Bureau's office, the people did not dare to get close. They just watched from a distance as these people cut up the demon dragon on the spot and transported it into the office.
Some people refused to listen and still secretly used jars and shovels to shovel away the dragon blood that had seeped into the soil along with the soil.
Chi Yu asked Xie Xiyi: "Is this blood poisonous?"
Xie Xiyi said, "The blood of monsters has a great tonic effect on mortals, but most mortals are too weak to absorb it."
Chi Yu thought, let it be.
It is also an opportunity for mortals.
As Chi Yu and his group approached the mansion, they were naturally stopped. It was Xiaoqiu who showed a jade pass. The leader's attitude immediately changed when he saw it. He said to them, "Please wait a moment. I will go and ask the chief monk for instructions."
After saying that, he walked in.
They waited for a while, and the man came out quickly and said to them, "The abbot invites you all."
Chi Yu and his companions entered the gate and were led by a soldier. After many twists and turns, they were finally brought to a meeting hall.
The man inside had already sat in the main seat, and his attendant prepared tea and waited on the side.
"Sit down," the man said.
He was rather nonchalant, as if he didn't take them seriously.
Chi Yu looked at him carefully. At this time, the head of the Demon Suppression Division had taken off his mask. He had a very handsome face with strong and beautiful features, red lips, and black pupils with a hint of gorgeous red, like contrasting eyes. The beautiful face and the huge gold ring on his ear formed a very shocking contrast.
Perhaps he had been staring at his face for too long, and the consciousness that had been covering the wound with Xie Xiyi was suddenly released. The pain came over him, and Chi Yu screamed in pain.
When he screamed for the third time, his consciousness was once again wrapped up by Xie Xiyi, and the pain stopped instantly.
Chi Yu looked at Xie Xiyi with tears in her eyes. Xie Xiyi looked away expressionlessly and said to the abbot calmly, "Senior, my junior brother was ignorant and offended you with his spiritual sense. As a result, he was poisoned by his mind. I would be grateful to you for detoxifying my junior brother."
The chief monk said calmly, "They say a smiling face makes things easier to handle. But you're begging me with a stern face, and you still want me to do something for you?"
Chi Yu opened his mouth to say something, but Xie Xiyi silenced him. He raised the corner of his lips, his golden eyes sharp, and said, "You used poison to murder my junior brother, and I haven't even settled the score with you yet, but you're acting so arrogantly. No need to say anything, let's fight."
After saying that, Xie Xiyi drew out his sword.
Chi Yu: "..."
Little Ball: “…”
The first seat: “…”
He almost slipped off his seat and said in disbelief, "I'm at the Nascent Soul stage, and you're only at the Golden Core stage. You want to fight me? Are you sure?"
Xie Xiyi said calmly: "It's just a Nascent Soul. The chance of victory is in my hands. What is there to be afraid of?"
The first seat: “…”
How could he possibly fight him!
He realized that the monk in front of him was very unruly and not someone he could easily get along with, nor could he be made an enemy.
Therefore, his attitude softened. "Wait a minute, detoxification is easy to discuss. I hold no hostility towards you. Gentleman, put away your sword. As you can see, I am serving mortals, doing my job. Protecting the Yu Dynasty is my lifelong pursuit, so I will not easily start a war with you."
Chi Yu: “Mmm.”
Xie Xiyi released his restraints. Chi Yu breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously, "You are a demon. Why did you become the head of the Demon Suppression Division in the Mortal Dynasty?"
The chief was shocked, "You actually know that I am a demon?"
Chi Yu said, "My Senior Brother Xuan Ji said so."
A trace of fear appeared on the chief's beautiful face, but quickly disappeared. Who was this person's origin and how could he see through his true identity at a glance?
Fortunately, they didn't fight in a fit of rage. Losing is not a big deal, but if every brick and tile of the city was damaged, that person would inevitably be worried.
The abbot said, "I will help you get rid of the poison, but there is a condition..."
Meeting Xie Xiyi's sharp golden eyes, the chief spoke much faster in an instant, "Don't worry, it's not something difficult to accomplish. I hope you can give me a Lihuo Secret Leaf——"
Xie Xiyi: "No need to say more, come and fight."
"..." The First Seat said: "The Secret Fire Leaf is a bit expensive, but the Nine-Transformation Yin-Yang Flower is also acceptable."
A flash of sword light passed by, and the screen that the chief monk stretched out his hand turned into powder.
The first seat: “…”
The chief monk said, "At the very least, I'll have a piece of Phantom Spirit Grass—boy, you have to give me some respect, I'm in the Nascent Soul Realm!"
His beautiful face was strangely angry.
Xie Xiyi said, "Detoxify him, immediately, right now."
The chief monk said stubbornly: "Phantom Spirit True Grass!"
Xie Xiyi suddenly laughed, "I have something better than this, but I need you to exchange it for something else. - Now detoxify him."
The chief's eyes flickered, "You can't lie to me."
Xie Xiyi: "Three, two..."
The abbot immediately strode over, grabbed Chi Yu, pried open his mouth, and poured a pile of ashes into it. "Swallow it, and it will be relieved," he said.
Chi Yu held the ash in his mouth and looked at Xie Xiyi first.
Xie Xiyi felt very pleased with his trusting look. The corners of his lips curled up and he said, "It's the antidote."
Chi Yu then swallowed it.
Xie Xiyi released his consciousness, and the burning area no longer hurt. Instead, it felt cool and comfortable.
The chief looked at Xie Xiyi, "Do you know what I want?"
Xie Xiyi said, "The Secret Fire Leaf, Yin-Yang Flower, and Huanling True Grass are all ingredients for the Longevity Pill. Do you think I don't know what you want?"
The chief's eyes, with contrasting colors, were particularly bright. "Do you have the elixir of immortality?"
Xie Xiyi said: "I don't have it."
The light in the abbot's eyes immediately went out, and an expression of anger appeared on his beautiful face. "You lied to me?"
Xie Xiyi said, "I told you that you have to bring something in exchange."
The chief looked at him doubtfully, took a few steps back, and sat back down. "What do you have?"
Xie Xiyi said: "Spiritual roots."
The chief was stunned for a moment, then said, "Impossible."
Xie Xiyi raised the corner of his lips. "The elixir of immortality can only extend one's lifespan by 500 years at most. But if one has spiritual roots and cultivates to the Golden Elixir stage, one can extend one's lifespan by 800 years. - Of course, if you don't believe it, forget it."
Seeing his confident attitude, the chief monk couldn't help but waver again. He asked as if to confirm, "Can you really make mortals grow spiritual roots?"
Xie Xiyi: "Yes."
The chief thought for a moment and replied, "If it's true, I'm willing to exchange... my poison sac for it."
Xie Xiyi raised the corner of his lips, "Deal."
The chief monk: "...No, wait a minute, don't you want to know what a poison sac is?"
Xie Xiyi said in a pleasant voice, "I don't need to ask. This is your most precious thing. Besides, you are also troubled by this, aren't you?"
The chief was stunned and smiled bitterly. He took off the leather gloves on his hands and placed his snow-white hands on the table. The table immediately melted into a pool of turbid liquid.
Only then did Chi Yu notice that the man was wrapped up completely without a single piece of skin showing.
The chief monk said, "Indeed, this has troubled me for many years. My body is filled with poison, all caused by this poison sac. But at the same time, it is also my most precious treasure. With it, I can also poison and kill my natural enemies when they are young."
Xie Xiyi said: "I want this poison sac."
Chi Yu couldn't help but pull at his sleeve and asked, "Senior Brother Xuanji, what do you want this for?"
Xie Xiyi looked down at him, raised the corner of his lip and said, "You lack an effective means of attack. This Nascent Soul Stage poisonous dragon's venom sac is just right for you."
The chief monk: “…Hey.” How did he become a poisonous dragon?
No, this guy even knows his prototype? Horrible.
Chi Yu's pupils trembled when he heard this. "For me?"
Xie Xiyi: "Yeah."
Chi Yu: "..."
