"Lowly insects, suffering thousands of tortures, one day they become pupae, breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a moth, soaring to the nine heavens …"
A murmur constantly turned into a crazed scream, lingering in Jiang Tao's ears.
"Ah!"
He was drenched in cold sweat as he woke up from his bed, as if he had just had a nightmare.
It had already been several days since that day, but everything that had happened was still vivid in his mind.
Especially that Flying Moth Transformation mantra, it was like a maggot attached to the bone, constantly echoing in his ears.
Yi WuJi had once said, "Strange mantras, eighty percent of them are evil. One must be careful when cultivating them …"
Jiang Tao and Jiang Yuhe both felt that this old man was right. Even if this mantra really had the miraculous effect of restoring one's youth, they still needed to find someone to test it first before they, the old masters, could enjoy it.
Which rich and powerful family did not have someone to test medicine for them?
"But … I can't forget it."
Jiang Tao hugged his head. The mantra was like an incantation, constantly echoing in his ears.
This was indeed an evil mantra!
He looked out the window. It was still night time.
Jiang Tao sighed.
Ever since he was entangled with this incantation, he found that he had changed.
For example, he was in low spirits during the day, wanting to sleep, but at night, he was full of energy, unable to sleep no matter what, becoming a nocturnal habit.
For example, he lost his appetite in front of exquisite food.
Torture!
Jiang Tao felt an incomparable pain and torture, but he had no one to talk about it to. He did not want to be treated as a madman.
In the darkness, his eyes shone brightly.
Suddenly, he saw the light outside and felt a sudden desire.
The reason why moths flew into flames was because of their phototaxis!
Jiang Tao's throat moved, but he could not endure it. He opened the door and walked out of the room.
As the young master of the Imperial Censor's family, his living conditions were very good. When he opened the door, he could see a small garden.
Under the moonlight, the garden was lush and full of vitality.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Tao could not help but swallow his saliva.
He was hungry!
A desire that came from his stomach, from his heart, suddenly attacked his heart, tearing apart his defenses.
Those dark green plants, in Jiang Tao's eyes, were more fragrant than any delicacy.
Finally, Jiang Tao could not bear it any longer. He took a step forward, plucked a rose leaf, and stuffed it into his mouth.
The juices of the plants actually did not taste very good, but his oral cavity and sense of taste seemed to have gone through some kind of transformation. When he ate them, it was like a hungry person eating roasted meat. His taste buds felt incomparably fresh, his teeth unconsciously chewed, and his throat greedily swallowed.
Jiang Tao's movements became faster and faster. She pulled out the peony and broke it in half. Her small mouth greedily sucked the juice.
In doing so, his hunger was satisfied, and his eyes gradually regained their luster.
However, two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks.
"I … I became a monster?"
'Am I … going to become a freak … chrysalis? Moths? Like a moth flying into a flame … "
After ravaging the small flower bed, Jiang Tao's hunger subsided. The humanity in his heart returned.
"Lowly insects, countless tortures …"
He muttered the mantra of the Moth Transformation and suddenly understood its profound meaning.
It was precisely because humans were like insects that they had no choice but to use all means possible to obtain nutrients, even if they were covered in cuts and bruises, even if they were tortured.
After Jiang Tao understood this, he suddenly felt a flow of heat appearing in his body.
This was not like True Qi, nor was it the legendary magical power. It was a kind of 'strange power', a power that came from the freaks!
He did not need to practice the Moth Transformation Mantra and could directly enter the beginner level.
But at this moment, he did not have the slightest trace of joy, only extreme fear. "Evil martial arts … No … Evil martial arts can't even be described … Could this be the … demonic martial arts that spread from Shushan's fairyland?"
The Moth Transformation Mantra did not need to be practiced, only continuous accumulation.
In fact, it could not even be abolished.
Every time he was injured or abolished … it was a catalyst for the advancement of the mantra.
Once mastered, it would be like a maggot in the bone, unable to change.
Jiang Tao's heart was heavy.
At this time, he had just entered the beginner level of martial arts, and his hearing was far better than before. Suddenly, his right ear twitched, and he heard a rustling sound.
The teenager subconsciously walked to the side of the courtyard and saw a black shadow wriggling in the flower beds.
When he got closer, under the moonlight, he could see that there was a person lying there, constantly gnawing on the grass.
He was so lost in himself that he did not even notice Jiang Tao approaching.
After a while, he raised his head, revealing the green juice on his chin and his blank eyes.
"Master Yi?"
Jiang Tao exclaimed.
"Young master?" Yi Wuji's expression was like crying and laughing at the same time. "I learned the Moth Transformation Mantra without a teacher. It is indeed a magical mantra … And the Moth Transformation Sword is even more amazing. Mortal words are too weak … Only by truly cultivating can one understand the charm of life!"
"I thought you were a righteous grandmaster and had a lot of determination, but it seems like you are only this strong?"
The teenager rolled his eyes in his heart, but his expression became gentle. "Me too …"
Anyway, it was just eating grass. It was just a special hobby, not a big deal.
"Hehe …"
Yi Wuji laughed dryly and climbed up.
Jiang Tao wanted to say something, but looking at the round moon, his expression suddenly changed. "Wait, we are all like this, what about the old man?"
Yi Wuji's expression also changed. "Go … let's go take a look, but we can't alert the others."
He came to the wall and easily flipped over it. He was just about to pull Jiang Tao up when he saw the young master's legs kick against the wall like a flying insect. He couldn't help but secretly exclaim, "It's only been a few days and he already has this kind of skill. It's really amazing …"
The two of them, one in front and one behind, used their qinggong and arrived at Jiang Yuhe's room.
With their extraordinary hearing, they heard the sound of chewing.
Yi Wuji could not help but admire, 'The old man is indeed the old man, his determination is amazing … Even I could not bear it and went to the garden to eat grass, but the old man could bring it into the room and enjoy it. As expected of a scholar, with the demeanor of a master, even if he starves to death, he would still look full …'
"Grandpa, grandson requests to see you."
Jiang Tao knocked on the door and said softly.
"Tao, what are you doing here?" The sound in the room stopped, and Jiang Yuhe's voice sounded with some panic.
"After that day, grandson felt that something was wrong, so I came to pay my respects for you, grandpa." Jiang Tao replied matter-of-factly, "Something is wrong, maybe it is just normal, don't mind it too much …"
"Ah …" Jiang Yuhe panicked even more. "You know?"
Pa.
Inside the room, something seemed to fall to the ground.
Yi Wuji felt that something was wrong, so he directly used his inner force to push the door open.
Jiang Tao followed him into the room. Even though it was dark, he could see everything clearly. He covered his mouth with his hand.
In the hazy moonlight, Jiang Yuhe raised his head ferociously, his chin covered with blood …
