Chapter 19: Darkness is Great (Catching Bugs)

Luo Binghe said: "If you frequently change hosts while parasitizing others' dreams, your soul will be damaged and weakened during the wandering. But if you can live in a fixed host for a long time, you can conserve your energy and stabilize your soul."

He paused and said, "Could it be that the time has come for the Dream Demon Senior to die, so he had no choice but to choose me as a host to train?"

After being exposed by him, the nightmare demon neither denied nor got angry, but admitted it openly: "Not bad! I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable and know this."

Luo Binghe didn't intend to tell him that what he just said was just his blind guess.

Seeing that he looked calm, the Dream Demon could not figure out what this kid was thinking, so he continued, "But don't think that you have to be my host. There are thousands of talented demons, and who wouldn't kneel down and beg for this honor? But you, you should think carefully about whether you can miss this opportunity."

In fact, his soul had been gradually weakening over the years. It had been living in the magic weapon and was doing well there. It would have been full of energy again after a hundred or eighty years of meditation. However, Sha Hualing, who was unaware of the truth, used the magic weapon as a weapon and used it on Luo Binghe. He no longer had the strength to find the next host.

But when he was at his wit's end, he actually discovered that this new resident had a powerful force hidden in his body and mind. He was so overjoyed that how could he let him go?

He had made up his mind. No matter how Luo Binghe refused, he would persuade him to learn the magic from him, so that his body and consciousness would be more suitable for his residence, by using soft and hard persuasion, threats and inducements.

The Dream Demon said: "I will give you some time to think it over carefully. Otherwise, I can trap you and your master's consciousness in a dream forever. I can still do that!"

Luo Binghe raised his head suddenly, and at that moment, the nightmare demon was frightened by the cold light that flashed in the eyes of this young man.

Luo Binghe's previous calmness and humility disappeared completely, and his voice was cold: "You are negotiating with me now, and you can say anything. But if you hurt Master, I will not forgive you!"

Meng Mo was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. He was shocked that he was frightened by the momentum of a small mortal cultivator. He had been in the three realms for a hundred years, and even in the tough battle that damaged his body, he had never been overwhelmed by others in terms of momentum.

Of course, he doesn't know that this kind of aura is called the aura of kingship (exclusive to the protagonist)!

A burst of laughter suddenly broke out in the cave.

"You are really interesting, kid!"

After the old voice finished speaking, Luo Binghe suddenly felt his limbs become heavy, and the surrounding scenery spun around and fell into darkness.

Luo Binghe woke up from the woodshed, and broke out in a cold sweat, his vest soaked.

At the same time, Shen Qingqiu also sat up from the bed, feeling dizzy.

After taking dozens of deep breaths, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.

It's simply horrific!

Why? In the original work, Ning the baby was also thrown into a dream by a nightmare demon. Why did the dream woven for her contain warm childhood memories, with mom and dad helping her pick flowers and ride horses? Why did he, when it was his turn, be surrounded by fist-sized man-eating bees, run wildly in a narrow tomb passage, and be chased by a huge fireball!

The scariest thing was that at the end of the dream within a dream, the nightmare weaved for him the thing he feared the most!

In the dark and damp dungeon, he was hung by a ring around his waist, suspended in midair, unable to feel his limbs. He opened his mouth but could not make a sound, and he cried helplessly. His whole body was burning with pain.

I don't know how long I was in the dream before I heard the stone door opening outside the dungeon. Unhurried footsteps approached, and a human figure was projected on the ground in front of me.

The hem of the inky black robe was embroidered with gorgeous yet simple patterns in silver thread. The cold pressure emanating from that man was more suffocating than the airtight darkness in the dungeon.

Shen Qingqiu couldn't see the man's face clearly, but he knew exactly who that man was!

The Nightmare was indeed a character from the legend of the demon clan. This dream was so real that even the damp and rotten smell in the air seemed to still be at the tip of his nose, making him nauseous.

Shen Qingqiu reluctantly sat for a while, then really rolled off the bed and started vomiting.

Ding Dong. The system popped up a reminder at this time: [Congratulations on completing the "Nightmare's Boundary" plot line! The system rewards you with a coolness of 500! Please continue to encourage! ]

Shen Qingqiu exploded: "Damn it, when you threatened to deduct the satisfaction points, why didn't you also set it at 500? Is it really good to have more penalties and less rewards? And I took an extra dream-within-a-dream plot line, why don't you give me extra salary for this? System, don't play dead, let's sign a new contract!"

At this moment, someone burst open the door of the bamboo house like a gust of wind and rushed in.

"Master!"

As soon as he heard the voice, he knew who it was. Shen Qingqiu rolled his eyes in pain. He really didn't want to see this person's face now! There was already a shadow!

As expected, Luo Binghe had already fallen beside him and asked nervously, "Master, how are you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Actually it's OK! It would be better if you could stay away from me, Luo Ge!

Shen Qingqiu turned away feebly and stood up: "Master, everything is fine..."

Luo Binghe originally wanted to help him, but his hand was pushed away naturally, and he could not help but be stunned.

Shen Qingqiu didn't pay attention to his little emotions. He straightened his clothes and made sure that wearing only his shirt would not damage his image. Then he asked, "Did the nightmare embarrass you later?"

What's the point of making things difficult for me? The dream demon was kneeling and licking Luo Binghe. Shen Qingqiu knew it very well, but he still asked even though he knew it. Luo Binghe hesitated for a moment and replied, "The demon elder seemed to have run out of spiritual power, and then the disciple was expelled from the dream. Master, you didn't encounter anything in your dream, right?"

Shen Qingqiu said arrogantly: "Even if something happened, can't your teacher stand up for what happened?"

Sorry_(:3)∠)_Actually he really can't let it go!

He still had the shadow from before. Luo Binghe was so close to him that he felt goosebumps all over his body and his eyes began to dodge unnaturally. Luo Binghe didn't know why. Seeing his strange expression and evasive eyes, he felt anxious and worried. He wanted to turn his head around and ask him face to face what was going on.

Fortunately, Shen Qingqiu adjusted his mentality very quickly, and still remembered what he should do as a teacher. The next moment, he reached out and grabbed Luo Binghe's wrist, which surprised the latter slightly.

Shen Qingqiu said sternly: "The invasion of demons from the demon world is not for fun. Binghe, relax, and let your master investigate. This dream demon cannot be tolerated."

Seeing that his master was willing to look him in the face again, Luo Binghe felt relieved and said obediently, "Yes."

His heart was about to hang in the air. What if Shen Qingqiu found the dream demon, and the latter revealed that he had a demon sealed in his body...

Fortunately, although Shen Qingqiu examined him very diligently, he found nothing abnormal. Naturally, he couldn't find anything. The Dream Demon's skills and reputation of several hundred years are not exaggerated. But he had to go through the motions.

Shen Qingqiu's investigation was fruitless, so he still reminded Luo Binghe to report to him immediately if anything happened.

Luo Binghe asked: "Master, are all the demons...unforgivable and should be killed?"

Even if Shen Qingqiu didn't look at his expression, he knew that Luo Binghe must be struggling with the distinction between humans and demons and the incoherence of good and evil. It was time for him to teach him a lesson again.

Shen Qingqiu thought for a moment and said, "That's not the case. Just like people are divided into good and bad people, demons are naturally divided into good and bad. We only see the demon world persecuting the human race, but maybe in some corner, humans have also harmed innocent demons. Many times, it is just racial prejudice that makes the gap between the two sides deeper and deeper."

For example, the truth behind the persecution of Luo Binghe's parents was that two young people of different races wanted to have a romance, but they accidentally made it too high-profile, causing panic among everyone.

This is a truth that is as old as time. It is a point that is repeatedly mentioned in modern costume dramas, martial arts dramas, and fairy tale dramas. However, in this world where humans and demons have a deep hatred for each other and have fought countless battles since ancient times, it is an extremely original and even unpopular point of view.

It was the first time that Luo Binghe heard a master-level figure say this. He listened in a daze, his heart pounding wildly. He tried to calm himself down and said, "Master, what you mean is that even if it is closely related to the devil, it is not necessarily evil, right?"

Seeing that he was waiting for his answer with a bit of expectation and a bit of nervousness, Shen Qingqiu smiled and said, "As long as you don't deliberately do evil and are dedicated to the good, then we can be friends. The division of evil and not evil has never been based on race. Moreover, the demon race is naturally full of spiritual power, far superior to the human race. For this point, the master admires and envies them very much. If their power can be used well and used for the right path, wouldn't it be a good thing for this natural creature?"

The demons' natural talent in practicing magic is absolutely overwhelming that of the human world. Different races have different energy systems. Humans rely on spiritual energy, while demons rely on magic energy. Shen Qingqiu guessed that they are actually the same thing, just with different colors and flavors. I don't know if the feng shui of the demon world is good or what, but most demons are full of magic energy when they are born. At the age of three, they can tear a living person apart with their bare hands, and at the age of eight, they can split mountains and crack rocks... cough cough, it's a bit exaggerated.

However, the truth is that many people with mediocre qualifications, after practicing for decades, are only at the level of a baby. Many more people are like a dried-up pond, with zero spiritual power... It couldn't be more cruel. If it weren't for the fact that humans like to have more children and the small population of demons, the human world would have long been a colony of the demon world... They only bully them because they have strict family planning.

After hearing these words, Luo Binghe's eyes gradually brightened up, sparkling.

Although he was devoted to the right path at this time, he was not a pedantic person. Since he could not get rid of it, he might as well make good use of it.

Besides, he had to become stronger!

Strong enough to protect Master from anyone. Strong enough to never let Master get hurt again.

The system sent a prompt: [Make the protagonist determined to learn the magic of the demon clan, the fun level +50! ]

The pleasure level is only 50... Luo Binghe's strength increased at least tenfold after learning the magic from Meng Mo. From then on, he was successful in picking up girls and killing monsters for a long time. And you tell me that the pleasure level is only 50?

Shen Qingqiu no longer wanted to bargain with the system. It was a pleasant surprise anyway. He had only wanted to experience the pleasure of saying this kind of lines. After all, there were too many dramas with such a wise or prophetic character who used this kind of lines to elevate the theme.

After this earth-shattering ordeal, Shen Qingqiu did not sleep all night, with dark circles under his eyes. He waved his hand and said, "It's late at night. If there's nothing else to do, go down and have a rest." Luo Binghe obediently took his leave.

But he had only taken a few steps when he heard Shen Qingqiu calling from behind: "Come back."
