If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 413: Substitution
I noticed that Xiaoyu stayed in Xiaojingxuan and had not left after dawn.

Ziying brought Dujuan and several other little girls to bring her some food.

Xiaoyu gladly accepted and taught them sword techniques and breathing techniques until noon.

“Ziying, you are pretty good. In just a few months, you have developed a sense of Qi.

At most in half a month, I will be able to find the Qi and tap the meridians, and transform the Dao Qi into the 'Tai Chi Changchun Inner Force'."

Sister Cui'er from the back street benefited from the immortal fetus.

Blacksmith Zhai swallowed the "water tank elixir" cultivated by the black fish dragon.

Both of them cheated or, in other words, had great fortune and encountered a fortuitous encounter, which allowed them to quickly cultivate "immortal energy" (the black fish dragon can condense Yuandan, which is at least the human immortal realm, and the energy of a human immortal is also immortal energy).

Ziying relied entirely on hard work and talent.

Aunt Liu was right. Although Hongxiufang was a religious wing, it never lacked people with extraordinary talents.

“Thanks to your good teaching, Xiao Fengxian, the interpretations of the Taoist scriptures you gave me were so insightful that even Aunt Liu was impressed.

She even asked me to copy two copies for her to read!"

Ziying's temperament has changed a lot.

When she first came to Hongxiufang, Ziying had a fair and round face, big round eyes, a fleshy and round nose, a small and round mouth, and two round buns, which made her look particularly simple and cute.

Now she is more calm and steady, yet her temperament is ethereal and otherworldly.

I still love to laugh, but when I laugh, I’m no longer silly, and there’s a clarity and depth in my eyes.

From a "village girl" to a "little fairy girl".

This is a change that even ordinary people can see.

Although Dujuan and several other little girls were not as obvious as Ziying, they also showed signs of having temperaments similar to hers.

They were like sisters from the same sect. Well, they did have the same master.

"Why make two copies? Even if she reads it herself, one copy will be enough."

Seeing their high spirits, Xiaoyu was not only happy, but also very proud and had a sense of accomplishment.

"Aunt Liu reads one copy herself and gives the other copy to Master Lei of the Tianmen Society." Ziying said.

——What the hell is Master Lei? Lei Zhen can’t even take a drop of water now. He’s about to be buried. Why is he still reading the Taoist scriptures? It’s better to be read the “Daotou Sutra”.

Most likely it was given to Liu San's illegitimate son.

The explanations of Taoist scriptures she gave to Ziying all came from her own insights and were without reservation.

With her current level of being able to create low-level incomplete immortal arts, the insights into the Taoist scriptures she wrote can almost be called a top-level immortal martial arts secret book.

The fact that Aunt Liu was jealous only showed that she had some vision and brains.

"It's almost time for lunch, you guys should go back first. We'll talk later."

Xiaoyu murmured in his heart, but did not reveal Aunt Liu's secret.

"Are you going out for a banquet?" Ziying asked.

Xiaoyu nodded gently, "I have to go to Tianbaoju."

The reason for going to Tianbaoju was not to eat, but to remind Shaoyao of something.

In theory, the demonstration of the Seven Arrows Book by Shishan Beppu would last for seven days and seven nights.

They should have gone over to watch yesterday afternoon.

I checked on the old monk’s condition in the afternoon, continued to curse him in the evening, and then watched the performance.

Xiaoyu was busy preparing for the "curse" yesterday and did not return to Tianbaoju to see Shaoyao.

I don’t know how anxious she is at this moment!

"what have you done?"

Shaoyao was indeed very anxious. Even though she tried to appear calm, the worry in her eyes and even the tired dark circles under her eyes showed that she was very uneasy inside.

Xiao Yu asked, "Have you been to Yonghe Palace?"

Shaoyao hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yesterday I didn't wait for you to come back, but Cao Wei came instead, and he told me not to go to Zishan Villa anymore.

I was filled with doubt and confusion, and immediately went to Yonghe Palace to inquire about the situation.

His Royal Highness said that you and Zhao Zhen had a conflict, and Zhao Zhen left without saying goodbye. Your Highness just found out about it."

Xiao Yu sneered in his heart, but smiled on his face, saying, "It's not a big deal. After I parted with you that night, I returned to Zishan Villa, rescued the head monk from Luhe Cottage, and set fire to the reed shed and the altar."

Shaoyao screamed, "Are you having a brain storm? Why are you doing this?"

Xiao Yu said: "The old monk is a good man."

Shaoyao said excitedly: "You don't even know him, how do you know he is a good person?

Even if he is a good person, what does it have to do with you?
There are so many good people in this world who are in trouble, can you take care of them all?"

Xiao Yu said: "I definitely can't manage everything in the world.

But if there is something I can manage and want to manage, it’s okay to step in and take a step.”

If Shaoyao didn't have a special relationship with the prince, she would tell her the truth: Saving the old monk was just a matter of convenience, and I returned to Zishan Villa mainly to eavesdrop on Li Rongji's thoughts about her.

Shaoyao shouted, "Zhao Zhen has the ancient magic weapon, the Seven Arrows Book! Now that he has disappeared with the secret treasure, it means he has targeted you."

Xiao Yu pondered for a while and said, "He probably cursed me, starting last night."

"Ah, how do you feel?" Shaoyao was shocked and immediately stood up and went to her and touched her all over, sometimes her forehead and sometimes her heart.

"Don't worry, Zhao Zhen definitely can't curse me to death." Xiao Yu sat there, letting her explore with a calm look on her face.

"Your head is a little hot and your heart is beating very fast. Is your heart like fire, your mind like frying in oil, your heartless and confused?" Peony asked.

Xiao Yu did not answer her question, but asked: "Do you know why I am so sure that Zhao Zhen's curse will not kill me?"

"Why?" Shaoyao asked puzzledly.

Xiao Yu said: "Zhao Zhen cannot afford the price of cursing me to death.

Back then, Jiang Taigong was the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces that attacked the Shang Dynasty. He was entrusted with the mission of heaven, so he could curse to death the Golden Immortal who acted against heaven.

Now it is I who bear the destiny, while Zhao Zhen is going against it.

This is one of them.

Secondly, I know where Zhao Zhen built the platform and cast the spell."

Before last night, she couldn't have made such an inference.

Now she has a certain understanding of the operation process of the Seven Arrows Book. The principle of "dispersing spirit and transforming energy" in the Seven Arrows Book is very "righteous".

The spell that drives this process is extremely evil.

We need to use great luck as leverage, personal luck, legion luck, and dynasty luck.

Zhao Zhen practiced the Seven Arrows Book, so he should understand this.

He might rely on the luck of Western Shu or Great Qin.

Shaoyao was more and more surprised. "How do you know the price of the spell? You haven't used the Seven Arrows Book before."

"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Xiaoyu said.

"You're not stupid, but you have a brain storm." Shaoyao said.

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "I'm not stupid. After I offended Zhao Zhen, why didn't I immediately assassinate him or steal his Seven Arrows Book? Instead, I gave him the opportunity to retaliate against me?"

Shaoyao hesitated and said, "I feel like you misjudged the situation. You think he won't attack you for an old monk.

You are willing to offend Zhao Zhen for the old monk, but you are not willing to kill him for the old monk and then offend Daqin and the prince of Western Shu."

——Sister Shaoyao, you are indeed kind-hearted and you guessed most of it right. I really didn't expect Zhao Zhen's reaction to be so intense. He made a prompt decision and attacked me immediately. Could it be that the old monk wanted to use her as a knife and did something secretly?
If I have the opportunity to meet with Zhao Zhen, I must ask him clearly.

Xiao Yu felt a little embarrassed, but she had to keep a calm face and said, "I actually want to try the Seven Arrows Book."

This sounds pretentious, but it's not a complete lie.

She did have a little bit of such expectation in her heart.

If Zhao Zhen did not use the Seven Arrows Book on her, "Da Mie Ba" would not be able to activate the method to crack the Seven Arrows Book.

The Seven Arrows Book had cursed a Golden Immortal to death. How could she not be in awe of and covet such power?

Even though she looked down on the Seven Arrows Book several times when she was talking to the old monk.

All the contempt in her words for the Seven Arrows Book came from the fact that she had already activated the "method to kill Zhao Zhen."

To put it bluntly, it's not that he looks down on the Seven Arrows Book, but that he is too confident in Zifu.

Of course, she did not make a plan to anger Zhao Zhen and force him to use the Seven Arrows Book against her because of this confidence.

Her mentality is rather conflicted.

She is coveting the method to crack the ancient secret technique: if the Seven Arrows Book is broken, all the nightmare techniques in the world will find it difficult to hurt her.

Intellectually, he was unwilling to risk his life for any secret method.

She chose to let things take their course. This or that was fine. No matter how things turned out, she could accept it. If the old monk did something secretly, she would get his retribution sooner or later because of her bad thoughts!
"You are indeed a brain-damaged person. You actually wanted to taste the Seven Arrows Book. Now that you have tasted it, what does it taste like?"

Shaoyao considers herself to be knowledgeable.

But this was the first time she had seen someone as elusive as Xiaoyu.

Sometimes she is very humble, even calling others "grandpa and mom", and regards herself as a lowly Kabuki.

Sometimes he was very arrogant and didn't respect the nobles in Yingxiang Mansion or even the Crown Prince.

She was very kind sometimes, and she went to save the old monk even though he was a complete stranger.

Sometimes he was extremely cruel. Leng Wushuang just tried to be a little clever, but was killed directly; Wu Daoren only went out to help the prince to gather information, but not only did he die, his soul was also scattered, and he didn't even have the chance to become a ghost.

Shaoyao's feelings towards such a complicated person are also very complicated. She is angry at her for causing trouble and betraying her care, but she also envies her free and easy style and thinks she is very charming.

For example, now, Xiaoyu said calmly that she wanted to taste the ancient spell.
Comparing the prince's fear and dread of Zhao Zhen and the Seven Arrows Book, Shaoyao began to have wild thoughts. If Xiao Fengxian was a man, she would definitely be fascinated by him.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Xiao Fengxian can live beyond seven days.

No one is fascinated by stupid corpses.

"It tastes very spicy and stimulating. I don't feel well now. My heart feels like it's burning with oil. I didn't sleep all night last night. Can you play a song for me?" Xiaoyu said with a smile.

Her main purpose in coming to see Sister Shaoyao was to spread the word in advance: she had a destiny and Zhao Zhen would suffer backlash.

This time, she will not just crack the Seven Arrows Book.

Regardless of whether the old monk secretly instigated it or not, she had to fulfill her promise: if Zhao Zhen dared to attack her, she would kill him.

Letting Zhao Zhen die from the backlash when casting the spell can minimize the negative impact of killing Zhao Zhen.

Xiaoyu believed that once the prince learned that she had been to Tianbaoju, he would definitely send someone to ask Sister Shaoyao.

The conversation between the two this afternoon was soon known to Li Rongji.

She wasn't sure how effective it would be, so she just tried her best.

As the sound of the piano entered her ears, Xiaoyu slowly closed her eyes, and after a few breaths, she immediately fell into a deep sleep.

"Yu Fengxian, wake up soon, Yu Fengxian, come out to see me soon~~~"

Xiaoyu heard the irresistible call of the nightmare again.

Her instinct was to obey, but her mind was clear.

After she created the "Dream Magic", she would practice it in her dreams every time she fell asleep.

She has already mastered the first level of Dream Magic, "Awakening", to a minor degree and can wake up within one breath - get rid of the call of the nightmare demon in the dream and wake up; "fall asleep" in the dream and wake up in reality.

She was still a long way from achieving the Great Awakening State—being able to sleep when she wanted, wake up when she wanted, enter and exit dreams, and move her mind as she wished—but it was much better than her initial three-breath awakening.

Today, with the help of Shaoyao, the sound of piano came from outside the house, and she "woke up" faster, in less than half a breath.

She opened her eyes on the bed and saw that she was in Xiaojingxuan.

Xiaojingxuan was empty. The next moment, Xiaoyu activated the second level of "Dream God" "Creation", and the empty Xiaojingxuan immediately had a few more pieces of furniture.

There are not many of them, but the styles are exactly the same as the ones in Xiao Jingxuan in reality.

"The Seven Arrows Book with Nail Heads is called 'Disperse Spirit and Transform into Qi'. The me in the dream is the spirit. If I am in the dream, Zhao Zhen will worship me with the Seven Arrows Book with Nail Heads."

Xiaoyu looked at the ugly and deformed shadow of the nightmare projected on the window.

An idea suddenly came to her mind: Could she "transfer" the curse of the Seven Arrows Book to the Rotten Giant Eye?
If the curse is really transferred, even if only a part of it is transferred to the Rotten Giant Eye, what will be Zhao Zhen's fate?

Even if he could borrow some of his luck to suppress the Seven Arrows Book, he would definitely not be able to withstand the backlash of the rotten giant eye.

She didn't need to fake the murder scene, Zhao Zhenzhen was killed by the backlash.

How to transfer the curse
If you want to transplant flowers and trees, you must first make the fake look real.

Let the Lord of the Demon Eye and the Giant Eye of Corruption have the same aura and charm.

As long as she opened the door, the giant eye of decay would surely float up, look her in the eyes, and seize her spirit.

She also transformed into a demon eye and plundered its spiritual will. When the two spirits merged and became indistinguishable from each other, what would be the end of Zhao Zhen who worshipped the Seven Arrows Book?
Xiaoyu is a little looking forward to it.
