Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 571 Good brother, stop teasing me

The monk stood in the center of the Thousand Buddha Temple, where corpses were scattered all over the ground. He watched the servants cleaning up the battlefield with his eyes closed and remained silent.

The cooked duck had flown away. Any ordinary person would have been beating their chest and stamping their feet in frustration. However, he was a man of great shrewdness and did not show it. He just silently turned his rosary beads and calculated secretly.

Bogor City has a population of three to four million and countless houses. It is not easy to find the two people hiding in such a complex environment.

The solution now is to either mobilize a large number of people, search the mountains and seas, and investigate house by house; or use some magical powers...

Deploying a large number of personnel presented a problem. Bogor City consisted of nearly fifty or sixty districts, each governed by fifty or sixty sorcerer leaders. These were considered his colleagues, and many of them had private rifts. If the search became too drastic and alerted those with ill intentions, who might deliberately leak the news to the city lord, trouble would ensue.

Zhou Hongyu was not only a master of fire magic but also possessed an incredibly strong character. She was the chosen one to become the Red Lotus Mother and the captain of the Lu Kingdom's Fire Phoenix Team. Having another Red Lotus Mother would not benefit the sorcerers outside of the Red Lotus Zen sect, but losing a Fire Phoenix team captain would threaten the entire city of Bogor if the Lu Kingdom sent troops in a retaliatory attack.

After much thought, we still have to strictly prevent the matter from leaking out. No matter how much trouble we cause, we must control it within this urban area.

In this case, the Red Lotus Demonic Sound method would be used. Zhou Hongyu was infected with the Red Lotus Fire Poison, and it was not so quickly eliminated, so this Demonic Sound was just the right method to find her.

The old monk made up his mind, picked up his bowl, and headed towards the Thousand Buddha Temple.

--------

In the house, Zhou Hongyu sat cross-legged on the bed, healing his wounds and removing the poison, while Yan Yu stood guard beside him.

She was suffering from two evils at this time, one was fire poison and the other was heart poison.

Zhou Hongyu was proficient in the fire-based Taoism, and her body had a high affinity for the fire-based true essence. It was effortless for her to get rid of the fire poison, and she quickly cleared it out. Her red face turned back into a beautiful face.

But her character was not good and her Taoism heart was unstable, so it was difficult for her to get rid of the poison in her heart. She tried again and again to consolidate her state of mind and clear her sea of consciousness, but she just couldn't concentrate her mind.

Plus, it was as if there were 180 monks chanting in her mind, making her so irritated that she wanted to explode on the spot. Seeing Yan Yu playing with his phone next to her, she couldn't help but ask:

"Yan Yu, let me ask you: That was the first time we met at the Four Colleges Exchange Competition, right? Why do you have to pick on me?"

"Ah? No." Yan Yu was confused. "Do I have any grudge against you?"

"You know whether you are trying to make me angry on purpose or not." Zhou Hongyu said coldly.

"Oh." Yan Yu pondered for a moment and asked, "Is it possible that it's not that I always like to provoke you, but that you have a bad temper and can't take a joke?"

Zhou Hongyu didn't believe it, and said:

"There are so many beautiful girls on your team, why do you have to keep staring at me and teasing me all the time?"

"Hey, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!" Yan Yu's expression suddenly changed. "How did that make me think I'm interested in you? I came here to rescue you because I received a mission from above, okay?"

Zhou Hongyu stopped talking, but his expression became more and more gloomy and ugly.

Seeing that she was silent, Yan Yu didn't know what she was thinking, so he waved his hand and said:

"If you don't want to pay attention to me, it's very simple. Quickly remove the toxins from your body, and then we will fly back to Lu Country. Otherwise, if you suddenly go crazy and drop your flying sword halfway, I won't care..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard the sound of Buddhist music in the distance, like the sound of evening drums and morning bells, resounding through the sky, and the lingering sound lingered in his ears.

Yan Yu's face suddenly changed slightly. It turned out to be the Red Lotus Demonic Sound!

The Red Lotus Demonic Sound, as the name suggests, is a secret technique of Red Lotus Zen. Although chanted in Buddhist language, it becomes different demonic words to different ears, specifically targeting the flaws in one's mind.

Mortals would be brainwashed after hearing this, and would become fanatical believers of Red Lotus Zen from then on; if extraordinary people could keep their composure and remain unmoved, it would not be a big deal, but they would be afraid of losing their spiritual heart, which would lead to regression in cultivation at best, and even going astray!
Yan Yu has been a human being for two lifetimes, and his heart of Taoism is firm. No matter what is sung in the magic music, he will just treat it as the wind in his ears and the buzz of mosquitoes. He will ignore it, respond to it, and think about it, and naturally there will be no problem.

But Zhou Hongyu did not have such a good skill in cultivating her Qi. First, she heard her classmates gossiping about her, saying that she had no father and no mother; then she heard her mother scolding her for being a money-loser and blaming her for being unfilial; then she heard her grandmother falling to the ground due to a cerebral hemorrhage, screaming "Granddaughter, save me"... Suddenly, she could no longer keep her heart in the Tao. Her face turned red, her eyes were bloodshot, and her heart was filled with endless grief. In addition, the remaining karma in her body surged, and she was attacked from both inside and outside. She was about to go crazy on the spot.

Yan Yu was shocked when he saw this. He knew you had a bad character, but he didn't expect you to be so lame!
The Red Lotus Demonic Sound targets the soul, even deafening one's ears is useless. To block the demonic sound, one must find a way to divert their attention, preventing it from controlling their thoughts.

So Yan Yu jumped onto the bed, slapped Zhou Hongyu's pretty face, and cursed:
"Bitch! If you listen to that devilish sound again, you might go crazy!"

Zhou Hongyu's face was filled with pain. He had never suffered such humiliation before. The sorrow aroused by the evil sound instantly turned into raging rage, and he and Yan Yu quickly wrestled into a ball.

Yan Yu struggled with her on the bed. Seeing the bloodshot in her eyes fade away, he breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Xiao Zhou had a bad temper and would explode at the slightest provocation. It turned out that provoking her was effective.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Hongyu was not stupid either. Seeing that Yan Yu did not fight with him passionately, he immediately guessed that he was deliberately attacking to provoke him in order to remind him to get rid of the evil sound... and his anger immediately disappeared.

As her anger faded, grief returned. Even though she tried hard to calm herself, she couldn't stop her grandmother's cry for help from entering her mind. The sadness in her chest surged like a tide, and she couldn't suppress it no matter what she did.

"Hurry up!" Zhou Hongyu tried to pull him up, panting, "I can't hold on any longer, hurry up!"

"Let's go! There must be an ambush outside!" Yan Yu grabbed her shoulders and shook her, "Wake up!"

He slapped Zhou Hongyu several more times, leaving her cheeks red and swollen, and his hands began to hurt. Unfortunately, Zhou Hongyu had already made up her mind, believing that he was trying to save her, and even the slaps were a gesture of kindness, so she couldn't get angry at all.

Without strong anger, she would not be able to suppress the endless grief in her heart. After all, her personality was straightforward, and it was impossible for her to remain calm and unperturbed.

In a hurry, Zhou Hongyu suddenly had an idea. He took a deep breath and then kissed Yan Yu fiercely.

Yan Yu was quite confused by her sudden attack, but he reacted quickly and realized what she was going to do.

If we can mobilize her body functions and use them to fight against the evil sound... it seems like there's hope!
Thinking of this, Yan Yu no longer hesitated and began to move his hands to press the acupuncture points all over her body.

Zhou Hongyu's body trembled, and she suddenly became angry and bit his tongue hard.

Why are you so skilled!

Yan Yu quickly looked for help with her eyes: "Good sister, I'm helping you, do you really think I want to flirt with you?" Zhou Hongyu slightly loosened her teeth, but just held it in her mouth as a hostage, meaning "If you dare to mess with me again, I will bite off your tongue."

Yan Yu also retracted his claws, carefully hugged her gently, and slowly stroked her smooth back, as if coaxing a child to sleep.

The two of them hugged each other intimately on the bed, lying neck to neck. Driven by instinct, Zhou Hongyu gradually relaxed, and the grief in his heart gradually faded away. Instead, many beautiful thoughts emerged out of thin air and quickly spread in his heart.

The Red Lotus Demonic Sound specializes in attacking the flaws in people's defenses. Previously, she was sad and distressed because of her rough life experience, so the Demonic Sound transformed into the voices of friends and relatives to make her more miserable. Now, after Yan Yu's efforts to shift her attention from self-pity to love, the Demonic Sound naturally changed direction and began to transform into various voices of Yan Yu to continue attacking her weaknesses.

Sometimes Zhou Hongyu heard Yan Yu saying sweet words to her, saying that they would be together and fly together; suddenly she heard Yan Yu's affectionate proposal to her; then she heard her and Yan Yu's two children after marriage, their baby voices asking for their mother to hold them and liking their mother... These were all the subconscious desire for love that was suppressed deep in her heart, and immediately took control of her mood.

Yan Yu suddenly felt his body sink as she clamped her legs around his waist. Her soft body was wrapped around him like a snake. Seeing Zhou Hongyu's blurred eyes and bloodshot eyes, he immediately guessed that she had gone from one extreme to another and was about to lose her mind and go astray. He quickly leaned over to her ear and said,

"Actually, I like Tang Xiaolian."

Zhou Hongyu was suddenly struck by lightning, and all her tenderness and affection shattered like a mirror dropped on the ground!
She was immediately enraged, and she grabbed Yan Yu's neck with both hands, gritting her teeth and saying:
"Can you say that again!"

"Calm down!" Yan Yu cast the elephant spell, not afraid of being strangled to death by her. He just struggled and said, "Just because I told you not to grieve too much doesn't mean you can fall into love, understand? I also don't ask you to be as calm as still water or as clear as a mirror. After all, that would be too difficult for you. I just hope you won't be affected by the devil's voice. If it stirs up any emotion in you, you should deliberately go against it to avoid being unable to suppress it and becoming obsessed. Is that so difficult?"

Zhou Hongyu also calmed down and realized that Yan Yu had deliberately said that sentence in order to wake her up from her love.

When she came to her senses at this moment, and with the devil's voice still ringing in her ears, she suddenly felt an infinite fondness for him, and the tender feelings that had been suppressed in her heart once again surged into her heart.

Fortunately, after being reminded by Yan Yu, she finally got some enlightenment. She quickly sat cross-legged again, clasped Yan Yu's hands in her palms, and calmly meditated.

If the Red Lotus Demonic Sound transformed into Yan Yu's sweet words to arouse her tenderness and affection, Zhou Hongyu would visualize Yan Yu's past frivolous behavior and hateful face, and immediately become furious, burning away all the charming emotions.

If the Red Lotus Demonic Sound changed the content of the illusion and tried to provoke her anger, she would hold Yan Yu's hand tightly, imagining that she and Yan Yu were a pair, loving each other, which would extinguish her anger and leave only a feeling of happiness and perfection.

Although Zhou Hongyu has never been in a relationship, it is well known that the longer one is single, the richer one's imagination in this regard. Even if the devilish voice in her ear changes to Yan Yu's voice and says some obscene words that are unbearable to the eyes, she imagines it all as a little fun between lovers, and even makes up endless details in her mind. She is not angry, but happy instead.

After a long time, perhaps because he had heard the devilish sound too many times, he developed a minimum immunity to it. Zhou Hongyu's mood gradually calmed down, and he slowly entered a state of peace of mind, no longer troubled by the auditory hallucinations.

The karma that had been lingering in her sea of consciousness was slowly being pulled out of her mind, like silk threads being peeled off from an onion.

On top of the Thousand Buddha Temple, he listened to the monks chanting for several hours. There was still no news of the two people escaping from outside. The old monk's face was as gloomy as water, and he hummed in silence.

Logically speaking, Zhou Hongyu, with his fragile heart, would definitely not be able to withstand the piercing sound of the Red Lotus Demonic Sound. He could either flee from this place quickly or simply charge forward and risk his life. What else could he do?

However, they did not expect that the patrolling monks outside had not found any trace of the two men yet!

Could it be that she knew she would be in trouble if she went out, so she would rather go crazy and die than show up and be caught by me?
Or did she have some magic weapon... No, if she had a magic weapon that could stabilize her Dao heart, she should have taken it out long ago when she was being refined in the Red Lotus Karma Fire Temple. After she left the temple, her face was red and her eyes were furious, which were clearly signs of an unstable Dao heart.

Could it be that they used some magical power of escaping underground, and in fact, they had already escaped from Bogor City long before the Red Lotus Demonic Sound started?
The old monk thought for a long time, but there were too few clues and he didn't know what was going on, so he simply gave orders, asking the monks to stop singing and drink some tea to moisten their throats, and at the same time asked the monk soldiers outside to step up patrols.

This was a method of luring the snake out of its hole. As long as those two were still hiding somewhere, trying to escape Bogor City while the chanting stopped, once they emerged, the chanting would immediately resume, subduing Zhou Hongyu with the magic sound, and then he would personally strike and kill the Dinghai God General!

He stood up from the mat and looked at the many houses around the temple from the top of the tower, with a sharp gleam in his eyes.

--------

"The sound finally stopped." Inside the room, Zhou Hongyu suddenly opened his eyes and became more energetic.

"Don't worry." Yan Yu said, "Maybe he's trying to lure the snake out of its hole. Have you dispelled the noise in your sea of consciousness?"

"It's much better now." Zhou Hongyu replied.

"Not enough." Yan Yu shook his head. "We need to completely remove the influence on your state of mind. Otherwise, once we escape, they'll start playing that devilish sound again. What will you do? External attack and internal poison, a pincer attack from both inside and outside, will be too disadvantageous for you. We can't take that risk."

"Yeah." Zhou Hongyu closed his eyes again.

Seeing that she was obedient, Yan Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to continue playing with his phone, he suddenly heard Zhou Hongyu say:
"sorry."

"What are you sorry for?" Yan Yu was a little shocked. He thought to himself, "Could it be that you've been brainwashed too much by the Red Lotus Demonic Sound, and your temper has been turned into a softie?"

The Red Lotus Demonic Sound actually has this effect?
Zhou Hongyu still closed his eyes and whispered:
"Many times before, I knew you meant well, but I couldn't handle the provocation and spoke harshly to you... I'm sorry."

"Oh, it's okay." Yan Yu immediately said with relief, "Although you have encountered this disaster, if you can figure these things out and change your personality, it is not a loss."

"I..." Zhou Hongyu was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Alas, I don't know if my personality has changed."

"Take your time." Yan Yu said casually, "Life is still long. Who hasn't been young and frivolous?"

"Hmm." Zhou Hongyu pondered for a moment, then said, "Thank you."

"Thank me for what?" Yan Yu asked knowingly.

"Thank you for saving me." Zhou Hongyu hesitated. "Even if it was a mission assigned by the higher-ups, anyway... I owe you this."

"Okay, then you owe me a favor." Yan Yu said calmly, but suddenly he felt like playing a prank and said, "Then why don't you call me 'good brother'?"

Under normal circumstances, Zhou Hongyu would have gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, had fire in her eyes, and her hair stood on end with rage.

But she was probably tormented by the Red Lotus Demonic Sound and had lost her temper. She just sighed helplessly and said:

"Good brother, please stop teasing me, okay?"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Yan Yu was overjoyed.
