Capítulo 630: Chapter 616: Mischief of the Carp Demon
Qin Liuxi had already seen her fair share of terrifying scenes, from ghosts with various deaths to strange and bizarre demons. Very few things unsettled her, but now, she truly felt like screaming as well.
That ugly thing, I won’t curse you anymore, you are not the most disgusting one!
Taking a deep breath, Qin Liuxi picked up scissors and cut a hole in the inner garnt, revealing only the entire back.
But upon seeing it, the originally flawless beautiful back was now covered in little mouths, opening and closing constantly.
Those were mouths of a carp, densely packed!
Qin Liuxi closed her eyes, her chest churned, her scalp tingled, and she felt goosebumps all over.
No wonder this young girl complained about her back itching. Just looking at it made her feel itchy all over.
Just imagine, the palm of your hand is open, filled with the mouths of carps opening and closing, how would you feel?
Mr. Su tightly embraced his wife, looking from a distance, his throat itched, and he couldn’t help but scratch it, feeling unbearably itchy as well.
Oh my God, how could such a terrifying thing exist in this world?
He looked down at his wife, thinking, what should I do, he also felt like fainting.
“What’s going on, what exactly is happening?” The Third Prince, seeing Uncle’s reaction, stomped his feet anxiously: “What exactly happened?”
His curiosity peaked, but he restrained himself due to the propriety between n and won, yet recalling what his mother said, he gritted his teeth and rushed over.
Regardless, since his mother intended for him to marry Cousin He, he was responsible. If his curiosity wasn’t satisfied, he would die.
He rushed to the bedside, and he was stunned. What kind of ghostly thing was this?
Qin Liuxi blocked his view and scolded sharply: “What are you doing?”
Teng Zhao had already co over to pull him, but the Third Prince’s face turned pale and he said: “Little Taoist, quick, catch .”
No sooner had he spoken than he fell backwards.
He fainted.
Teng Zhao struggled to support him, but he was small and lacked strength, gradually being overwheld.
Well, it serves him right for being curious.
Curiosity deserves a fall.
His hand loosened.
Bang.
The Third Prince hit the ground hard, causing him pain that made him open his eyes again and exclaim, touching the back of his head: “There’s an assassin!”
Teng Zhao’s face was stern, I didn’t do anything.
The Third Prince touched the back of his head, glanced at the surroundings, his mory flooding back, then stared at the bed, and scooted backwards with his buttocks shouting: “What demon is that?”
Qin Liuxi carefully observed the mouths on the entire back that seed to be breathing. She rubbed her arms and said to Teng Zhao: “Wake up Madam, and have her tell the servants to speed up the digging of the pond and fill it with water.”
“I’ll go.” Mr. Su put down his wife and rushed out quickly.
Teng Zhao took so dicinal oil and placed it under Madam Su’s nose; she quickly regained consciousness, her pupils gradually focusing, and her mories started to return, the expression on her face becoming increasingly terrified.
“Don’t shout, the matter at hand is urgent.” Teng Zhao placed a finger on his lips and shushed her.
The Third Prince walked over, helped Madam Su up, and asked tremblingly, “What kind of ghost is this?”
Madam Su, trembling all over, nevertheless let go of his hand, went to the side of the couch, and upon another look, her body shook like a sieve and her face turned even paler as she covered her mouth to stop a scream.
How did her daughter’s back co to have such a thing?
A wave of darkness passed before Madam Su’s eyes; this was too bizarre and too frightening.
Mr. Su ca back inside and said, “I have already ordered the n to accelerate the digging, what should we do next? Junior Temple Master, what is the situation with my daughter?”
“It is a curse.” Qin Liuxi said, “If I am not wrong, that Lotus Pond should contain a Carp Demon that has awakened spiritual wisdom and has great cultivation, just waiting for an opportunity.”
“Carp Demon?”
“Yes. All things in the world have spirits. So entities, after long cultivation and upon gaining an opportunity, can transform and walk the world, such as animals, or even plants and flowers, or fish in a pond or Jiaolong in the sea,” Qin Liuxi explained. “They cultivate diligently, hoping for the day they receive recognition from the Heavenly Dao, which blesses them with an opportunity to beco human.”
The Third Prince was shocked, his voice piercingly high, “Are you saying, those around us might not be people but demons?”
Qin Liuxi’s mouth twitched slightly, “Demons or spirit monsters.”
“It’s the sa, they’re not real humans anyway.” The Third Prince said, “This is outrageous. We ordinary mortals simply don’t know if those around us are human, ghosts, or demons, this, this…”
Qin Liuxi thought, you were almost poisoned by a Snake Demon just now!
But better not say it, she is a good person.
Mr. Su said, “If that’s the case, if they want to harm people, ordinary people like us really can’t guard against it.”
Not to ntion defending ourselves, how would we even know how we died? If not for Qin Liuxi’s abilities, how would they have witnessed this scene?
Seeing their sowhat panic-stricken state, Qin Liuxi said, “You don’t need to be so alard; for spirits to transform, not only do they need a long period of cultivation, but they also need the right opportunity and fate. Not every opportunity guarantees success; so might fail, losing all their cultivation and their souls scattering. Demons attempting to attain righteousness face the sa situation, cultivation is essential, and so is the opportunity.”
She looked at Su Zhihe’s back and continued, “However, once they succeed, they cherish the opportunity to be human, so even more than humans do and remain low-key because transforming into a human is not easy. If they are too ostentatious, they invite the attention of Righteous Path Heavenly Masters and high monks, who believe in ‘if it’s not my kind, its mind must be different,’ and will surely execute them. Even if Heavenly Masters don’t intervene, if they harm many, and are not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao, they will also be annihilated.”
“Another point, cultivating is not so easy because the spiritual energy in this realm is not abundant. They need to absorb more spiritual energy, which takes more ti, and they also need to accumulate rit Power. Therefore, you need not think that everyone you et is a demon as very few manage to beco human anyways.”
But how to be comforted when one is not comforted at all?
“Junior Temple Master, then why is it precisely my daughter who has suffered this curse?” Madam Su forced herself not to look at her daughter’s back, for she would surely have nightmares.
“If there really is a Carp Demon in that Lotus Pond, it must be at a critical point in its cultivation. But your daughter advocated for filling the pond, shattering its delusion. If it were you, would you not feel resentnt?”
Madam Su choked, resentnt would definitely be there, who wouldn’t want the chance to be human?
“But my daughter knows nothing about it.”
“The truth of the matter is unclear until she awakens; we can only speculate for now. We need to see what’s in that pond before we can conclude.”
As Qin Liuxi finished speaking, soone reported from outside the house that the pond had been re-excavated and filled with water.
“Co, let’s go look at that pond.” Qin Liuxi affixed a Golden Light Divine Talisman on Su Zhihe’s back.
