Hu Xiaoyue's expression changed again, becoming a little uncertain.
she asked with a frown.
"Xiao Wu, what do you mean?"
"That's what I mean, Sister Hu, I'm afraid you can't touch me. Because..."
While speaking, I stretched out my right hand and spread my palm.
call!
A gentle breeze rose from the palm of my hand.
A piece of yellow talisman also fluttered out of his sleeve.
Driven by this gentle breeze, it flew around the palm of my hand.
"Sister Hu, the energy released from your body. I secretly thought that your cultivation level was far inferior to mine. Therefore, your hope was in vain."
The moment Hu Xiaoyue saw this scene, her eyes suddenly widened.
Everyone was a little confused.
Especially, now I have not restrained my aura, but have completely released it!
After she felt my energy, she staggered back a few steps as if struck by lightning.
"You...you are...you are also...a practitioner? Moreover, you can also use spells."
Hu Xiaoyue uttered a sentence with difficulty.
I nodded.
"bingo!"
"Then what you did just now was..."
She looked a little confused and didn't seem to understand.
I laughed.
"It's just a joke to liven up the atmosphere. And if I don't act, how can you take the initiative to confess everything? How about it, my acting skills are not bad!"
I winked at her.
"hateful!"
Hu Xiaoyue gave a sweet shout, turned around and ran away.
I waved my right hand.
Whoosh!
A charm flew towards her back like an arrow.
Hu Xiaoyue turned around helplessly.
The right hand that was surrounded by purple-red smoke just now was grabbed forward.
boom!
The spell exploded into a cloud of sparks, sending ripples through the air. Her right hand became stiff from elbow to elbow.
The one I played was a [Fixing Talisman] - but because Hu Xiaoyue is also a practitioner, she can resist the effect of the spell.
But because of the difference in cultivation, there was still a trace of residual spell power that temporarily restrained her arms, making her stiff and unable to move.
With just this little test, I had a rough idea of Hu Xiaoyue's level of cultivation.
Assuming she used nine points of strength to resist just now... Judging from the people I know, she should be slightly weaker than Niu Bi and slightly stronger than Yuan Fei.
Somewhere in between.
"Damn it! Why are you pestering me?"
She looked at her right arm that seemed to be petrified, feeling shocked and angry.
I sneered.
"You are an evil cultivator, and I am a righteous cultivator. Isn't it natural for me to fight with you?"
"I bother!"
Hu Xiaoyue spit and also sneered.
"I have never seen a true practitioner who had two girlfriends when he was still a high school student. Aren't all true practitioners the kind of people who talk about benevolence, justice and morality?"
I:"……"
"Don't talk nonsense! Hey! That's just my good friend."
At the same time, play a spell again.
Hu Xiaoyue quickly dodged over, opened her mouth and spit out a purple-red smoke column, attacking me.
As soon as I thought about it, a surge of energy poured into the golden compass in my pocket.
Buzz!
A golden compass appeared in front of me like a round shield. While turning slowly, it easily blocked Hu Xiaoyue's smoke pillar attack.
That's right!
Recently, I have gradually discovered more wonderful uses of the [Golden Compass] Master gave me.
It turns out that in addition to being a Feng Shui compass, it also has the function of a defensive magic weapon - this was the inspiration given to me by Lao Cao when he told me about the time when his master Cao Yunfeng met his master in western Hunan!
In Lao Cao's story, when the master was fighting with the Xiangxi Corpse King, there was a situation where the shadow of the golden compass turned into a shield to block spell attacks.
I guessed that it might be the effect of this [Golden Compass].
really!
After reading through the practice experience books that Master left for me, I found the practice method of this little technique.
Today is the first time I use it in actual combat...
The giant rotating golden compass not only blocked Hu Xiaoyue's smoke column attack, but I also reached out and pushed forward hard.
Buzz...Phew!
It flew forward like a solid golden circular wall. Hu Xiaoyue was unable to dodge and could only resist with one hand.
"Blood evil hand!"
The palm of her left hand suddenly turned blood red, and her nails suddenly swelled, flashing with a faint cold light. There is no doubt that if you are caught, you will die immediately. There is even more purple-red smoke surrounding it.
clang! ! !
Hu Xiaoyue's palm collided with the shadow of the golden compass.
Click.
The shadow of the golden compass shattered.
And she let out a shrill scream of "ah" and fell back to the ground. His palms rested on the ground and trembled, and a stream of blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth like an earthworm.
Almost at the same time, I raised my hand to play a spell again, flew over and stuck it on her chest.
She immediately became unable to move her entire body and kept holding her hands on the ground. What I played was still a [Fixing Talisman].
Hu Xiaoyue looked at me with resentment.
"I have no grievances with you, so why are you so entangled? Just now you said that I walked the line between life and death. Does that mean you won't kill me? Then why fight with me?"
I said seriously.
"Anyway, judging from the energy you radiate, you are cold, evil, and murderous. It's obviously not a legitimate way. If I don't kill you, I can't let you go!"
Hu Xiaoyue was stunned and frowned.
"Then what do you want to do? Are you going to ruin my magic skills? Then I absolutely disagree! I would rather die than give up this skill."
I shook my head.
"I thought so at the beginning, but then gave up on this plan. My master said that now is the Age of Ending Dharma, spiritual energy is exhausted, and a large number of secret techniques are lost. The path of cultivation is more than ten times more difficult than in ancient times."
"Every person who can cultivate Qi Sense in modern times can become a famous strongman in ancient times. As long as they are not extremely evil and cruel, or they are really displeasing to me. Otherwise, I won't kill them if I can." If it is not abolished, it will not be abolished.”
After saying that, I looked directly into Hu Xiaoyue's eyes - I had secretly used the "witnessing" method in Tai Chi to shock her mind and spoke solemnly.
"Now, tell me, how many people have you killed? What crimes did they commit? Why did you become an evil cultivator? Tell me all about it. These are related to my verdict against you."
"this……"
Hu Xiaoyue seemed to hesitate for a while. Then he looked at me, his eyes became decisive, as if he had made a decision.
"Okay! I confess. I will tell you everything about myself. If you go back on your word and want to kill me or destroy my cultivation, I will admit it."
So, Hu Xiaoyue told her story.
She is from a remote town in southeastern Chongqing. Her family was poor since she was a child, and her father died early. Her mother had no financial resources, so she had to remarry to a local middle-aged man who owned a small shop.
In the beginning, as a stepfather, this man was pretty good to the mother and daughter.
But gradually, his evil and lewd nature was revealed.
Not only did she frequently beat Hu Xiaoyue's mother with domestic violence, she even often touched Hu Xiaoyue, who had just entered junior high school!
The mother and daughter depended on others and could only endure it.
When Hu Xiao was on the third day of the lunar month, she was already so beautiful that her neighbors all said she was pretty.
Once, this man got drunk late at night. He actually rushed into her bedroom and wanted to give her to her directly...
It’s simply heartbreaking!
Hu Xiaoyue's mother rushed forward to stop him, but he smashed her head with a beer bottle and screamed miserably.
In extreme panic, Hu Xiaoyue ran out of the house without risking her life!
The town was small, with a population of only a few thousand.
So Hu Xiaoyue quickly ran out of the town and went directly to the foot of the mountain outside the town...
But what I didn't expect was that this beast actually caught up with me!
While running, he yelled, saying that if she and her mother eat his food and use his, they must obey him and take his orders. How can a middle-aged woman who is old and lusty be better than a young girl who is as beautiful as a flower?
Hu Xiaoyue was frightened and could only rush into the mountains. Running around in the woods on the mountain at night.
But as a little girl, how could her physical strength compare to that of a person in their prime of forties or fifties?
After running for a while, Hu Xiaoyue accidentally tripped over a vine root and fell to the ground, and was caught up by this beast.
Panting, he rushed over and tore Hu Xiaoyue's clothes frantically while laughing crazily and saying, "How can your mother allow me to raise you?" I’ll just wait until you grow up to be more convenient...
Hu Xiaoyue cried bitterly and begged, but it had no effect.
At this critical moment, she was already hopeless.
A hand suddenly reached out from behind her stepfather. From back to front, it penetrated directly into his chest!
By the moonlight, Hu Xiaoyue could see the sharp purple-red fingernails with drops of blood. It was only half a foot away from his face.
Then he jerked back and pulled.
The beast let out a shrill scream and collapsed to the ground. died.
At the moment of death, the huge wound that originally penetrated the body disappeared.
Standing behind him was a middle-aged woman wearing a long linen skirt. She was holding a beating, steaming heart in her hand!
She has average appearance, neither beautiful nor ugly, but she looks a little pale under the moonlight.
She looked at Hu Xiaoyue and laughed. Then she put the bloody heart in her mouth - her mouth suddenly became very big - and swallowed it whole!
To be honest, if ordinary people saw this scene, they would probably be scared to death on the spot.
But Hu Xiaoyue just stared blankly as if she had lost her soul.
"Hey, hey, little girl, go back."
The middle-aged woman smiled coquettishly at her and ignored her. Turn around and prepare to walk deeper into the woods.
Hu Xiaoyue suddenly moved, rolled and crawled over, blocking the middle-aged woman's way. Then he knelt on the ground and began to kowtow crazily.
I hit my forehead and it bled.
"Please accept me as your disciple, please accept me as your disciple..."
She just kowtowed and kept repeating this sentence.
The middle-aged female evil cultivator did not expect that the little girl she rescued would be so bold and tenacious - just like the hard-growing roadside weeds!
So, she accepted Hu Xiaoyue as her apprentice.
From then on, Hu Xiaoyue dropped out of school and embarked on the path of spiritual practice. Every night, she would go to the mountains to practice with her master...
Her master said that her lineage is a secret folk dharma lineage, which mainly cultivates the techniques of both hands. After you have achieved success in practice, your hands will be like sneaky claws!
Not only are they hard and sharp, but they also contain various types of poisons.
But there is a drawback, that is, you have to eat the hearts of living creatures to assist your own practice. So Hu Xiaoyue usually chooses to capture various large beasts in the mountains and forests to devour their hearts...
Fortunately, this area in southeastern Chongqing is relatively primitive. Not to mention it is very far away from the main city, and there are many mountains, deep valleys and virgin forests.
There are still a lot of various large beasts, which can fully meet Hu Xiaoyue's needs for cultivating the heart of living creatures.
As for secular matters, her bastard stepfather was treated as missing, so her mother naturally inherited the small shop.
So this can support the mother and son - in fact, mainly herself. After all, Hu Xiaoyue spends most of her time practicing in the mountains with her master.
Another six or seven years passed.
Hu Xiaoyue's mother died of illness, and her master was an evil cultivator who would eat people's hearts from time to time. He was targeted by some folk dharma lineage who claimed to be upright monks.
A violent conflict broke out between the two sides!
Master Hu Xiaoyue died in the battle, but none of the three enemies ran away - they were all dragged to death by the master.
According to Hu Xiaoyue, her master, like herself, usually only eats the hearts of wild beasts unless absolutely necessary.
Those three guys just wanted to rob them of the secret cultivation method of their lineage, and they deliberately came to cause trouble under the banner of "subduing demons and eliminating demons".
Of course, I have no interest in identifying whether this statement is true or false - anyway, both sides of the fight were dead at the beginning. What's more, it has nothing to do with me!
In short, Hu Xiaoyue's mother and master passed away successively.
She became completely alone.
After much thought, I decided to leave the local area and go to the city to explore.
Anyway, I have already achieved success in cultivation, so I don’t have to worry about any dangerous situations...
So, Hu Xiaoyue, who was in her early twenties, came to Yucheng City and started working in various places to make a living. So far, another five years have passed.
During these five years, Hu Xiaoyue discovered that there are all kinds of people in big cities, with many good and bad people, and they are far more complicated than in her hometown.
In particular, Hu Xiaoyue had been violated by her stepfather since she was a child, and she had a natural hatred for such men.
She came up with an idea - since there are so many bad people, she would look for men who had done bad things, kill them, and devour their hearts!
In this way, you can vent your anger, eliminate harm for the people, and improve your cultivation.
Kill three birds with one stone.
Because the practice method of their lineage, assisted by devouring the hearts of living people, will progress faster than the hearts of animals!
"In the five years since I came to the main city, I have killed a total of thirteen bad men. According to my investigation, they all raped at least two women from good families or used violence to coerce women into engaging in unfair transactions. Of course, Their hearts have also allowed me to improve my cultivation faster. But I didn’t expect that I would still be vulnerable in front of a core disciple of a truly famous sect like you..."
Speaking of this, Hu Xiaoyue's tone seemed a little frustrated.
I felt a little helpless.
Why are you being regarded as a disciple of a famous sect again?
Can’t the casual cultivators of the folk dharma lineage be so powerful!
Of course, I don’t need to say anything more to her now.
Ahem...
I cleared my throat.
"Is what you just said true? The people you killed were all evil people!"
"Of course! I swear that."
Hu Xiaoyue said solemnly.
I shook my sleeves gently.
A dim-colored talisman slipped out of the cuff, cracked inch by inch as it floated in the air, and turned into dust and ashes.
She had a stern expression.
I explained with a smile.
"A special spell called the [Truth Talisman] - as the name suggests, when the spell takes effect, if the person you are talking to tells a lie, it will be broken immediately. If he did not lie, it will be broken after confirming that the conversation is over. , faded and turned into powder.”
Um?
Hu Xiaoyue was a little surprised.
"There is such a talisman? Your famous sect has indeed many secret methods. The talisman sect is indeed the most powerful now."
I waved my hand.
"Don't worry about my identity. Now, I'm going to make the final judgment on you!"
My expression suddenly became serious.
A nervous look suddenly flashed across Hu Xiaoyue's face - she was obviously still a little scared.
