Chapter 12 Chapter Eleven Mutation

Zhang Xiaofan looked at the bead for a while, his breathing gradually calmed down, but he didn't see anything except the color and brightness, so he had to put it back on his chest.He looked at Tian Linger who was beside him, and saw that she was still unconscious, but her face had gradually turned red, and her condition was much better. He picked up the amber scarlet silk and took a closer look. This was the first time he looked at this treasure so closely, but he felt soft and comfortable to the touch. The posture, a burst of envy in my heart. He looked at it for a while, followed Tian Linger's gestures, and called out: "Get up!"

Amber Scarlet Silk was like a dead snake, ignoring her and not moving. "Chichi Chichi", but the gray monkey on the side covered its belly with its hands, fell to the ground, and laughed endlessly. Zhang Xiaofan glared at it, but just now when he went through hardships with this monkey, he felt a bit of kindness, the previous bit of hostility disappeared.He stuck out his tongue at the monkey and made a grimace, ignored it, put Amber Scarlet Ling beside Tian Linger, and then looked at the water pool in the open space. It was a small pool with a small area and no source. It was probably formed by an underground spring.The water in the pool is emerald green, and you can’t tell how deep it is from here. There is a gap on the west side of the pool, and the water flows out from there, converging into a small stream, winding away.

In the middle of the pool, there is a pile of rocks of different sizes and shapes, with a small part exposed on the water.Among the chaotic rocks, a short black stick was stuck obliquely, protruding a foot above the water surface, the rest was submerged in the water, the whole body was black, and it was hard to see what material it was, very ugly. Zhang Xiaofan didn't take it seriously, he just felt that this place is weird, it's better to leave early, but even though Tian Linger beside him has calmed down, she is still unconscious, no matter how much she screams, she can't wake up.In contrast, that gray monkey was extremely energetic, scratching its ears and cheeks, scratching itches and catching lice, and couldn't calm down for a moment. One for Zhang Xiaofan, then he sat down on the ground and ate with relish.

Zhang Xiaofan picked up the wild fruit and took a bite, but felt the taste was sweet and juicy, he couldn't help but whet his appetite.He went up the mountain in the early morning and chased all the way. It was almost noon now, and he was already hungry without a drop of water.He ate one in three mouthfuls, and was about to pick up the second one when he suddenly shook his head and gently placed it beside Tian Linger. After eating the wild fruit, Zhang Xiaofan felt less hungry, and his energy improved a lot.He stood up and stretched his waist, looked around, but saw dense old trees and gurgling streams, the scenery was quite beautiful, who knew it would be so strange.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly felt a heat in his chest, and only heard a few muffled "Ka Ka Ka" sounds for a moment, as if something was shattered.He was taken aback, and quickly took out the bead from his chest. He was startled, and saw that the whole bead was full of green light, and the green energy inside was like a wolf like a tiger. It is getting darker and darker, and it seems that it will not be able to resist it. How did Zhang Xiaofan know that this seemingly ordinary bead is actually the most dangerous thing known all over the world - "Blood-devouring Bead".The origin of this bead is unknown, but it has strange characteristics. It eats the essence and blood of living creatures. If any living thing gets close to it, it will be sucked by this "blood-eating bead" and die in a short while, leaving only a skin. Terrifying evil.

More than a thousand years ago, this bead was obtained by the elder of the Demon Cult, the black-hearted old man. Because of his ability to absorb essence and erode blood, he refined it into a magic weapon. One of the Four Treasures.After the death of the black-hearted old man, the bead disappeared and has never been seen since. By chance, the divine monk Puzhi of Tianyin Temple accidentally discovered this evil bead in the Great Western Swamp 30 years ago. At that time, within a radius of ten miles, there were many bones and no living things. The heart of universal wisdom and compassion was greatly moved, so he put it away with the great method of Buddhism. Afterwards, he used the Buddhist secret method of subduing demons every day and night to deter evil forces. Hanging it on a string, using its pure energy to resist the evil thoughts of devouring blood, finally suppressed this evil spirit, bound it tightly in the beads, and could not see the sun under layers of Buddha's power.

Unexpectedly, in the Battle of Caomiao Village, Puzhi was severely injured by the mysterious man in black, and almost ran out of fuel. "The Bead" was determined to win, and after taking the "Three-Day Death Pill", he could only prolong his life for three days. On a second thought, he took the risk and handed the Blood-devouring Bead to Zhang Xiaofan, and told him not to show it to others. Kong then threw himself off the cliffs of the ravine, although he might hurt some more innocent creatures, but it was far better than falling into the hands of that monster. It's just that Pu Zhi never expected that Zhang Xiaofan thought of his kindness, and actually kept this murderous thing as a souvenir.This "Blood-devouring Orb" was not suppressed by Universal Wisdom's Buddhist Dafa, and without the pure energy of the Emerald Prayer Bead to resist, the ominous energy began to gradually erode the restriction.

However, Tianyin Temple's great method of subduing demons is not easy. Although the heavy restrictions have lost their masters, they have been loyal to their duties, and have deterred this fierce spirit for three full years.It's just that as time goes by, he can't resist after all, gradually unable to do what he wants, and today, he is about to be broken out by the blood-devouring bead and cause harm to the world. Although Zhang Xiaofan didn't know about these many twists and turns, but he felt something bad in his heart.During the Battle of Caomiao, when Puzhi was fighting against the man in black, the mantra of the word "卐" appeared many times. Although he was young, he already remembered it deeply.Seeing that the situation on the mantra on the bead is getting more and more critical, he felt anxious, and with a cruel heart, he clenched his palms tightly to grab the bead, moved his little bit of superficial "Dafan Prajna", and poured it into the bead.

The two are of the same origin, the "卐" mantra on the blood-devouring bead actually brightened a lot, but before Zhang Xiaofan could smile, it dimmed again in an instant, and at the same time, a cold air invaded his body Inside the body, half of Zhang Xiaofan's body became numb for a moment. The gray monkey next to him suddenly saw Zhang Xiaofan's face showing pain, his face was blushing, "Zhizhi" cried twice, quite anxious.But Zhang Xiaofan didn't care about it anymore, he just felt that all the essence and blood in his body flowed backwards, all flowing towards the strange bead on his right hand.And the Dafan Prajna in his body collapsed at the touch of a touch, and he was no match for the cold air. At this moment, the meridians all over his body were convulsed and painful, and the pain was unbearable.

He couldn't bear it anymore, staggered a few steps, backed away, suddenly his whole body trembled again, a familiar feeling of nausea returned, and rushed straight to the internal organs, but he accidentally strayed into the open space again In the middle, but at this moment, there is no longer the heating to resist. The gray monkey was in a panic, screaming "Zhi Zhi Zhi Zhi" non-stop, but no matter what, it didn't dare to take another step into the open space. Zhang Xiaofan lost his soul, he didn't know what to do, but he felt cold and hot in his body, like ten thousand ants gnawing on him, he felt nauseous, but he had nothing to vomit, life would be worse than death.His consciousness gradually blurred, he stumbled forward, but he didn't know that he was going in the wrong direction, he only felt that every ounce of strength in his body was gradually disappearing.

His whole body was shaking, his hands and feet were weak, his feet were limp, and he was already sitting on the ground paralyzed.At this time, he had already reached the edge of the pool, and with the last of his energy, he brought up the Taiji Xuanqing Dao, managed to attract some spiritual energy from the heavens and the earth into his body, and then transformed into Dafan Prajna in his body, which relieved the pain a little, but only for a moment. Afterwards, it has vanished into nothingness, Zhang Xiaofan can't care about so much at this time, try his best to do what he can, every point he can relax is a point. It's just that the icy cold air was too powerful, and there was a strange feeling of nausea, which almost turned his internal organs over and rushed straight to his forehead.Stars flashed in front of his eyes, his breathing was disordered, suddenly there was a sweetness in his throat, and with a sound of "Wow", a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he almost passed out. At this moment, only a muffled sound was heard, and in an instant, it seemed as if the sky had darkened. The blood-devouring bead shone with blue light, and the whole bead turned blue, and a dim golden light flashed. Completely shattered, Zhang Xiaofan's whole body was immediately enveloped in blue energy, like a bloodthirsty demon, reborn again. However, the strange thing was not over yet, and almost at the same time that the green spirit regained its freedom, there was a loud noise, which came from the middle of the pool, and suddenly the wind and clouds surged, and the gravel in the pool shot out to the surroundings, making a loud bang.The water in the Green Pool burst into waves and swirled around the center, forming a big vortex.And in the vortex, in the cracks of the water, something slowly rose, black air was rising, it was the black short stick, about two feet long, neither metal nor iron, a fierce aura rushed towards his face. Zhang Xiaofan yelled and fell backwards, the blood-devouring bead seemed to stick to his palm, he couldn't shake it off, he could faintly see a faint blood from Zhang Xiaofan's body slowly pouring into the bead. With a whistling sound, amidst the sound of water waves, the black short stick shot out suddenly, rushing towards the blood-devouring bead that was flickering with blue light, a moment later there was a loud noise, the two big and fierce things collided, Zhang Xiaofan was like Suffering from the huge earthquake, his whole body was lifted more than a foot high, and the space under him was also punched into a big hole by this force. Zhang Xiaofan fell back to the ground, bleeding from seven orifices, dizzy, but the pain in his body seemed to be a little lighter.He only felt blood red in front of his eyes, but his eyes were bleeding. He wiped his eyes vigorously with his hand, only to see that strange black stick hit the blood-devouring bead, and the black air was like a continuous strand, attacking forward.But the Blood-devouring Orb seemed to have spirituality, knew it was the enemy, withdrew its youthful energy to resist with all its strength, the two sides were at loggerheads, the cold air and nausea on Zhang Xiaofan's body gradually receded. Zhang Xiaofan was panting, terrified, he shook his hands subconsciously, but those two strange things seemed to be part of his palms, they couldn't shake them off, black and blue, still fighting endlessly. Zhang Xiaofan was afraid in his heart, he just wanted to get as far away from these two monsters as possible, he tried his best to get up, before he took a step, he felt dizzy, his whole body was shaking, his feet were weak, He tilted his body and fell to the ground again.The green bead and black stick in front of him were entangled with each other, and they fought extremely happily, but the black air was steaming, and it seemed that they had the upper hand. Only a moment later, he saw the black air invading aggressively, the green light retreated steadily, he seemed powerless to resist, at this moment, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his palm, upon seeing it, his heart almost jumped out of his mouth.However, in the palm of his hand, around the area where the blood-devouring beads were attached, bright red blood seeped out of his skin, flowing continuously, gradually converging into a big drop of blood. Zhang Xiaofan's whole body trembled, his face lost all blood, correspondingly, the blood-devouring beads were bathed in the blood droplets, immediately glowing bright blue, he counterattacked vigorously, not only turned the situation back, but also gradually overwhelmed the black energy. As more and more blood oozed from his hands, Zhang Xiaofan gradually lost consciousness.The bright red blood flowed up, and gradually flowed to the joint between the short black stick and the blood-devouring bead, and stopped flowing, despite the blue light and black energy fighting non-stop, after a while, it seeped in here, and gradually The part where the top of the stick touched the bead was slowly dyed red. A faint smell of blood wafted in the air. As time went by, the red became deeper and deeper, until it was almost vivid, but for some reason, the blue light and black energy of the original struggle dimmed, and from the original repulsive fighting, it gradually turned into fusion. trend. I don't know how long it took, this strange change finally came to an end, the black stick green beads completely lost their brilliance, merged with each other, with a "click", fell from the unconscious Zhang Xiaofan's hand, and fell to the ground. ※※※ "Xiaofan! Xiaofan! Junior brother!..." A series of anxious calls echoed in Zhang Xiaofan's ears. His mind was in turmoil, and he felt a severe pain in his head, as if it took all his strength to even open his eyes.Tian Linger's panicked face seemed to be far away, but it gradually became clear in front of his eyes. He moved his lips and called out in a low voice: "Senior Sister." Tian Linger was overjoyed and said: "Xiaofan, are you awake?" Zhang Xiaofan forced a smile, said: "I'm fine, Senior Sister." Tian Linger helped him to sit up, Zhang Xiaofan looked at his palm at first glance, but saw that the skin on the palm of his right hand was not damaged at all, there was no abnormality at all except for some paleness.He was stunned for a while, but he clearly remembered that there was a large amount of blood gushing out of his palm just now, why there was not even a trace of it? Could it be a nightmare? "Xiao Fan." Seeing him sitting up, Tian Ling'er was in a daze, looking out of his mind, she felt a little worried, and pushed him. Zhang Xiaofan woke up startled, was about to tell her about the strange thing just now, but for a moment he didn't know where to start, he felt that the matter was too weird, even he was also in doubt, stunned for a moment, finally said: "No, it's nothing, Senior Sister. " Only then did Tian Linger feel relieved, when she woke up, she saw that it was already late, she was lying under a big pine tree, but her junior brother was lying on the open space far away, unconscious.She was frightened in her heart, and hurried to Zhang Xiaofan's side, luckily she woke him up after a while. At this time Tian Ling'er looked around, said to Zhang Xiaofan: "Junior Brother, there seems to be something strange here, we'd better leave here as soon as possible, and I'll ask my mother to come over tomorrow to have a look." Zhang Xiaofan nodded, was about to get up, suddenly his whole body was in severe pain, dizzy, if it wasn't for Tian Linger's quick support, he would almost fall down again. Tian Ling'er saw that his face was extremely pale, not even a trace of blood could be seen, she was really worried, and then carefully lifted him up, Zhang Xiaofan collected himself, looked at his body again, no wounds were found, and said: "Senior sister, I'm just a little dizzy, nothing serious." Tian Linger took a closer look, it was indeed the case, nodded and said: "Then let's go back quickly, it's getting dark, I'm afraid father, mother and senior brothers are all worried." Zhang Xiaofan said: "Yes." Tian Ling'er took a deep breath, checked her whole body and there was nothing abnormal, she wondered why she fainted for no reason.Then with a gesture, "Amber Scarlet Silk" rushed out from the place where the red light flashed with a whistling sound. Tian Linger and Zhang Xiaofan were just about to go up, when they suddenly heard a "squeak" sound at the side, the two turned their heads to look, but it was the gray-haired monkey standing beside them at some point, smiling openly at them, dragging their hands It was a short black stick about a foot long, made of unknown material. ※※※ In front of the Shoujing Hall on the Big Bamboo Peak, Tian Buyi paced back and forth, frowning tightly, with a slightly anxious look on his face.Early this morning, my daughter went to the back mountain to cut bamboo and play with the ineffective seventh apprentice, and no one came back until it was dark.Suru went out to search early in the morning, and now he sent out all the disciples one after another, but they were nowhere to be seen on the Big Bamboo Peak, surrounded by undulating mountains and dense forests, looking for two people is like looking for a needle in a haystack. He was anxious, suddenly there was a piercing sound in the air, Tian Buyi looked up, but it was Suru who came back with two little ghosts.Looking at the appearance of Tian Linger and the two of them, there is no serious problem, but there is a gray monkey lying on Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder, I don't know where it came from. Tian Buyi finally felt relieved, but the anger on his face did not fade at all.Zhang Xiaofan looked at Master twice, his heart was trembling, he didn't dare to move, he lowered his head to his chest, but that gray monkey was very naughty, he reached into Zhang Xiaofan's hair and scratched it, as if he wanted to find something from there Only lice come. Tian Linger put away the amber scarlet silk, and from the corner of her eye, she saw her father standing in front of the hall with an angry expression on his face, his eyes rolled a few times, his smile was like a flower, he was so innocent and cute, he jumped up and down beside Tian Buyi, and pulled his hand. Hand said: "Father, we are back." Tian Buyi snorted and said, "Where did you go?" Tian Linger smiled and said: "Xiaofan was bullied by a monkey when he was chopping bamboo, I will catch it to help Xiaofan vent his anger, hey, it's that monkey." Saying that, he pointed in Zhang Xiaofan's direction. The gray monkey on Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder was startled, yelled "Zhi Zhi" twice, made a gesture of anger, then scratched its head, and then turned its attention to Zhang Xiaofan's hair. Tian Linger made a grimace at it, then briefly talked about the chase all the way, and then said: "...After chasing to the valley, I suddenly felt sick, and passed out for some reason. When I woke up, I saw Xiaofan also He fell to the ground, unconscious. Fortunately, none of us were injured, and when we were about to come back, I saw that monkey seemed to be very attached to Xiaofan, so I brought it back too." Tian Buyi frowned, turned to his wife, and said, "What's going on?" Suru shook her head and said: "When I found the two of them in the back mountain, I went down to check, and there was nothing unusual. I think it's probably because Ling'er didn't practice enough, and forced to take Xiaofan and the two of them on the amber vermilion ride together." Ling walked against the sky, and finally lost her strength." Tian Linger coquettishly said: "Mother, what nonsense you say, I can't practice enough. Xiaofan, don't you think so?" Zhang Xiaofan quickly said: "Yes, yes, yes!" Tian Buyi gave Zhang Xiaofan a blank look, and said coldly: "As a disciple of Qingyun Sect, I was actually bullied by a monkey, and if you spread the word, I will lose all my face." Zhang Xiaofan blushed, didn't dare to say anything, lowered his head. Suru walked over, took Tian Linger's hand, and said softly, "I haven't eaten all day, are you hungry?" Tian Linger stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "I'm so hungry, mother!" Suru glared at her, dragged her to the kitchen, and said, "You're a big kid!" Zhang Xiaofan also felt hungry at the moment, but in front of Tian Buyi, how dare he make a move, he heard that Suru and Tian Linger had gone far away, but the master remained silent, raised his eyes secretly, but saw that there was no one in front of the hall , Tian Buyi didn't know when he left, probably in his heart, even scolding this idiot apprentice felt that it was a waste of energy. Zhang Xiaofan was at a loss for a moment, stood there for a long time, only to feel thunder in his stomach, then turned around, but subconsciously he didn't want to go to the kitchen, but walked to his room. Going back to the room and closing the door, the gray monkey looked around on his shoulder and squeaked, as if it knew it was home, jumped off his shoulder, jumped onto the bed in two or three steps, hopped and grabbed Picking up the pillow and tossing it around, I am very happy. Zhang Xiaofan looked at the gray monkey, a little smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he was overwhelmed by hunger immediately, he sat down at the table, poured a cup of cold water from the teapot, and drank it. A coolness pierced through my heart. He sat blankly for a while, then reached out and took out something from his pocket, it was that ugly short club.At this moment, the bead that Puzhi gave him has been tightly connected with the unknown short stick, and even the color has turned into a dark blue, black, and a dark red at the joint, as if frozen. The blood stains are not only ugly, but also a little disgusting. He looked at it for a while, then gave a wry smile, shook his hand vigorously, and threw the short stick towards the wall. The short stick hit the wall with a loud noise, then fell down again, and landed in a corner of the house. The gray monkey was startled, looked up at Zhang Xiaofan, wondering why he lost his temper.Zhang Xiaofan sighed, took off his shoes and went to bed, covered his head with a quilt and fell asleep.The monkey touched his head, not knowing why. This night, Zhang Xiaofan tossed and turned, he was so hungry that he didn't sleep until late at night.
