Tian Xiaoding, Liang Nanguang, and Tan Litong stayed overnight in Wuji City.
In the middle of the night, I was suddenly awakened by the noise outside. When I came out, I saw that an old couple claimed that the baby they picked up was a monster.
So, Xiao Ding and Liang Nanguang came to the old couple's home.
However, the two of them saw that what they saw lying under the quilt on the bed was not a deer, but a fat, white and fat boy.
At this time, the child was sleeping very soundly. He even seemed to be dreaming about sucking milk in his sleep. His little mouth moved and his saliva even flowed onto the pillow.
The old couple who followed behind also saw the child lying on the bed, and then said to Xiao Ding and the other two, "That's right, this child turned into a deer..."
Xiao Ding nodded, then opened his eyes and looked carefully at the child on the bed. Sure enough, he found that the child's body was actually a deer.
But, how can such a small monster transform into a human being?
Xiao Ding used the Sky Eye Technique to look at the cultivation level of this little deer monster again, and saw that it had only inherited the physique of the monster beast and had not yet begun to practice.
However, Xiao Ding saw huge energy in its dantian. These are all liquid demonic energies, all of which are now sealed in the deer demon's body. The capacity of these demonic energies, according to Xiao Ding's visual estimation, may reach the level of a ninth-order demonic beast.
No wonder this deer demon can transform into a human being. There is enough demon energy in its body to support its transformation.
However, these evil spirits were condensed into a liquid state and artificially sealed in its Dantian. Otherwise, with the little deer's physical body at this time, it would simply not be able to withstand so much demonic energy in his body.
If the demonic energy in its Dantian is released now, not all of it, but only a small part, then its body will explode and die because it cannot hold so much demonic energy.
Seeing this, Xiao Ding remembered the dream the old couple had. It seems that the dream must be true.
The reason why so much demonic energy was sealed in the body of this little deer demon must be that his mother transferred her lifelong skills into the body of the little deer and sealed it before she died. Then she used magic to transform her into a human being and sent her to the door of the old couple, hoping that the old couple could help her raise their children.
From this point of view, the little deer demon's mother must have reached level nine or above in cultivation before she died. Anyone who can kill her must be a powerful opponent.
Although Xiao Ding had clearly seen that there was a deer demon lying on the bed, he had no intention of killing the deer demon. On the contrary, he felt that this deer demon lost its mother when he was born, and he was even a little pitiful.
So, he turned around and said to the old couple: "This child is indeed a deer demon, but the dream you had is indeed true. He lost his mother when he was born and became an orphan. He suddenly appeared in his original form at night , because the evil spirit in his body is sealed and sometimes cannot support him to transform into a human being. However, you don’t have to worry, the deer is a very docile animal, it eats grass but not meat, so you don’t have to worry that it will hurt you. "
"Ah? Is this true?" The old couple was a little frightened.
Xiao Ding continued: "Yes, it is still young at the moment, just like a human child. It doesn't understand anything now. What it will become when it grows up depends on how you teach it. You If you teach it to do good things, it will do good things when it grows up; if you teach it to do bad things, it will do bad things when it grows up."
"Ah! Young man, do you mean to let us keep him?" the old couple asked in confusion.
Xiao Ding nodded and said, "Yes, just raise him as your son. When he grows up, he will treat you as his biological parents and will provide for you two until you die."
"But what if it turns into a deer again?" the old couple worriedly asked. In fact, they had raised the child for two months and had already fallen in love with the child, and they were unwilling to give up.
Xiao Ding replied confidently: "Two old men, you don't have to worry, I'll cast some spells on him, and it won't show its original shape in the future."
When the old couple heard this, they cheered and said, "That's great, young man. If you can prevent it from turning into a fawn again, we would be willing to raise it as a son."
"Don't worry about this, I can certainly do it." Xiao Ding affirmed.
After saying that, he took two steps forward, came to the bed, reached out to lift the quilt covering the child, put his hand on the child's chest, secretly circulated his spiritual power into the child's body, and explored the sealing position of its Dantian. , used spiritual power to attack the seal slightly, causing the seal to loosen slightly, and then Xiaoding immediately withdrew his spiritual power.
His purpose in doing this was to loosen the seal a little so that more demonic energy could leak out to support the power of the deer demon's transformation.
The child is still young now and does not need much demonic power, but as the child grows older, more and more demonic energy will be needed in his body to maintain his transformation. If the demonic energy is not enough, it will immediately transform. Return to original shape.
Therefore, Xiao Ding is not worried that if too much demonic energy escapes from its body, it will harm the child's body.
What's more, this deer demon is the descendant of a high-level demon beast. As long as he grows up a little more, he will automatically learn to practice. This is a skill born in his bones, just like eating and drinking, it is an innate instinct.
When it reaches adulthood, all the seals in its body will slowly be unlocked. By then, he will become a rare master of the younger generation.
Of course, Xiao Ding did not tell the old couple these things. After all, they were not cultivators. Even if he told them, they would not understand. So I simply didn’t say anything.
Xiao Ding only told them to teach their children well so that they would not get into trouble in the future.
In Xiao Ding's opinion, deer are very docile by nature. If they are taught intentionally from a young age, then even if they grow up, they will not go astray.
When the old couple saw Xiao Ding gesticulating on the child's body for a while, they thought Xiao Ding was helping to do the trick. In addition, they already liked this child very much, and now they know that it is a deer demon, but as long as it is still a child, the old couple can accept it. Especially after listening to Xiao Ding's words, the two of them also feel that as long as they If you teach carefully, even monsters will not do evil things.
In addition, there is Liang Nanguang next to Xiao Ding, who is from Wuji Sect. People in Wuji City all know that the people of Wuji Sect are very talented and are the best at slaying demons. Since he said there was no problem, then there must be no problem.
Seeing that the old couple agreed to continue raising the deer demon child, Xiao Ding felt relieved. After he and Liang Nanguang comforted the old couple for a few more words, they left their room. When I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I saw a lot of people still surrounding the courtyard, stretching their necks and looking into the courtyard, but they seemed cautious and did not dare to take a step into the courtyard.
It seems that these people are afraid that there are real goblins in the yard. What if they step into the yard and are discovered by the goblin, which will be detrimental to them?
Xiao Ding and Liang Nanguang immediately shouted to these people: "Let's all disperse. There are no monsters. It's just the old couple who were too old to see it wrong. Go back, go back!"
When the onlookers saw what Xiao Ding and Liang Nanguang said, they no longer doubted it. After all, in everyone's eyes, Liang Nanguang is a disciple of Wuji Sect, and he will not deceive everyone.
The two returned to the inn and met Tan Litong waiting for them.
Tan Litong didn't go out, so she would naturally ask Xiao Ding and the others about the situation.
Liang Nanguang narrated what happened to her nonstop.
After hearing this, Tan Litong also sighed with emotion. She also felt sorry for the little deer demon's mother, and at the same time she felt sorry for the little deer demon's life experience.
After struggling in the middle of the night and taking care of an insignificant matter, Xiao Ding also felt a little helpless.
The three of them returned to their respective rooms and continued to rest.
This time nothing else happened.
After sleeping until dawn, the three of them had breakfast, paid the bill, and left the inn.
This time, there was nothing they wanted to buy. So the three of them made a plan and headed out of the city.
After leaving Wuji City, the three of them told each other their next goals. Naturally, Xiao Ding planned to continue venturing into the mountains and would not give up until he found the earth-stricken turtle inside Soul Burial Mountain.
Liang Nanguang and the other two planned to return to Wuji Sect first. They came out to look for spiritual plants this time to exchange spiritual plants for spiritual stones. Therefore, their goal had been achieved and there was no need to go to Soul Burial Mountain anymore.
Xiao Ding used the Feiyun Shuttle to carry Liang Nanguang and Tan Litong almost half the way.
Liang Nanguang called Xiao Ding to stop, saying that the Wuji Gate was nearby, and they planned to fly back with their swords for the rest of the journey.
Xiao Ding did not stop him. He cupped his fists and said, "Brother Liang, Junior Sister Tan, take care. If I go to Soul Burial Mountain and survive, I will return to Liutai Mountain. If you two are free in the future, I will Just go to Liutai Mountain and find me. Don’t worry, I promised you the Foundation Establishment Pill. It’s just a matter of time. Anyway, you two won’t be able to reach the Great Perfection of Qi training for a while. After I reach the seventh level of Qi training, I will definitely Those who know how to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill will naturally not lose your share when the time comes."
Liang Nanguang and Tan Litong also returned the courtesy to Xiao Ding, and said with sincerity: "Brother Tian, we say goodbye this time. I don't know when we will see each other again next time. Brother Tian, you don't have to worry about the two of us. Of course we won't encounter any danger in the sect. But Brother Tian, you have to be more careful when entering the depths of Soul Burial Mountain this time. Don't take it lightly. Brother Tian, we are all waiting for you. Where is the Foundation Building Pill, you must leave Soul Burial Mountain alive, hahaha!"
Xiao Ding nodded in agreement, and Liang and Tan repeatedly expressed their gratitude to Xiao Ding for his rescue and all the help. Then the three of them said goodbye to each other, and Liang and Tan flew towards the Wuji Gate with their swords.
Xiao Ding, on the other hand, drove the Feiyun Shuttle to continue southward, towards Soul Burial Mountain...
