Chixian Shenzhou, the sky is pure as washing, the clouds are not stained, there is not even the sun, but it is not dark. A goshawk hovered in the air, like a black dot, very unsightly. With a "snap", a long blue tongue crossed the sky, and the sky was clean again.

The statue of Nuwa was turned pale by the light of the sky, and the villagers numbly surrounded them, chanting words in their mouths: "Pangu has opened up the world, and there are no living beings." Nuwa rubs loess, the first day of the first month is a chicken, the second day is a dog, the third day is a pig, the fourth day is a sheep, the fifth day is a cow, the sixth day is a horse, the seventh day is a person, the four hours of heaven and earth, the beginning of man, so the seventh day of the first month is called the day of man. The drama is overwhelmed, but the rope is drawn into the mud and lifted as a person. Therefore, the rich and noble are loess people, and the poor and lowly are also rope people. ”

Memorizing this history is a daily compulsory morning lesson, called a eulogy.

The Deepavali broke through the ground, beating the horsewhip for the leader, and his sharp eyes scanned back and forth, like an eagle staring at the water, as long as there were fish, there would be blisters. A huge skink lay on his shoulder, its scales stacked into a strange pattern, and its long blue tongue kept spitting.

This is a daily routine, and the villagers have long been accustomed to the appearance of the Demon Slayer Guard.

The village was standing beside the horses, waiting for questioning.

"Is anyone absent?"

"Back to my lord, the old man Zhao in the east of the village was infected with the wind cold and was bedridden. ”

"Hmm. The little official waved his hand and continued to stare at the crowd.

After a short time, the two Deepavali guards brought in a thin old man wrapped in a quilt, with sunken eyes, blank eyes, and dark and rough exposed arms.

The little official glanced at it with his afterglow and ordered, "Heal." ”

"Yes. Savali opened the old man's mouth and stuffed two pills.

"Take it away. ”

"Yes. The Savali guard took the old man on his horse and galloped away.

"The village is kind of interesting. The little official smiled gloomily, and the horsewhip was light, "The woman in the long blue dress is thin, her face is bloodless, she walks weakly, and she is a wooden chicken." The man with a black forehead, with a broad back and thin limbs, walking slowly but sweating, should be a golden demon. The man with the scar on his face, his face red, his mood unsteady and his eagerness, must be a fire monster. ”

"Yes. The Deepavali rushed into the crowd, whipping them to the ground, and the long rope in his hand shook and tied them to the saddle.

"My lord, I am wronged. ”

"We are all from the grain tribe, not a foreign race, and I hope that the adults will see it. ”

The little official waved his whip and said in a cold tone: "You can hide your voice and smile, and hide your mannerisms and movements, but you can't hide the soul embryo in your body. Whether you deserve it or you are wronged, you will know when you get to prison. ”

At the end of the salute, the villagers returned to the village. The skink on the shoulders of the little official suddenly screamed, and the long blue tongue flew towards the woman like a long whip, and tied back a flying insect against her face, feasting on it.

"Ahh The woman was startled, but she did not dare to complain, lowered her head and bit her lip, and hurried towards the village.

"Stop!" the little official shouted as he pointed at the woman.

"My lord, what's wrong?" the woman smiled back, her skin was fair and delicate in red, her willow eyebrows were lightly traced, and her danfeng eyes were charming and charming.

"You can actually avoid the eyes of the official, and you are indeed a master. The little official sneered, "If it weren't for this greedy four-legged beast to let you show your horse's feet, I'm afraid you would have let this water demon slip away." The little official stroked his mustache and said unhurriedly, "Then, come with me." ”

This man was so terrified that the slightest fluctuation of water vapor under his own fright could not escape his eyes. The woman smiled miserably, crossed her hands behind her back, and spread her ten fingers, and the mist around her condensed, forming four crystal clear spears and shooting out. The Slayer hurriedly drew his waist knife and slashed the water spear. In the blink of an eye, the woman was a hundred feet away.

The little official shouted: "Sheng Di, you escort these people back, and the others will follow me to chase them." ”

"Yes!"

The little officer clamped his legs, kicked the horse's hooves away, ran slowly, and followed the woman unhurriedly, the guards were puzzled, but they could only hold on to the reins and keep their distance. The Deepavali guard stipulates that the horse's head cannot overtake the commander unless there is an order.

A guard inevitably slandered: the water demon is good at confusing people, and the high-ranking man is so confused that he is reluctant to start, so he wants to sleep with that girl under the pretense of Gongji.

The whip in the hand of the little official shook and slapped heavily on the man's face, and one of them almost fell off the horse, and the other people trembled down their spines. The little official glared at him fiercely and said, "What do you know, the water demon will inevitably return to the waterway if he escapes." There are two waterways here, a well at the head of the village, and a Moyang River outside the village. I'm going to see which one she chooses. The man suddenly realized, and his face immediately turned red, but he covered up the wounded flesh.

The woman hesitated at the entrance of the village and ran straight out of the village.

The little official sneered: "If you are willing to go near and far, there will be strangeness in the village." Hu Ming, you go into the village to search in detail, and you can't let go of any details. The others come with me. "Yes!" the little officer lifted the reins, and the whip in his hand made a crisp sound, and shot out like sharp arrows, and the others also raised their spirits, and followed.

The woman stopped, leaned her hands together, and several water columns dug out of the ground, the water vapor gathered one after another, and the air instantly became dry, and the demon savali suddenly felt as if it had been drained, and the skin was folded.

The little official made a seal with both hands and recited the incantation, and suddenly the sky was dark, and the earth and stones tumbled and rushed, forming a huge black earth wall that firmly wrapped the water column, and the originally clear water column turned into muddy mud. The woman's mana weakened, and she fell to the ground, and several pillars of mud bent and gathered to form a cage to trap the woman in it.

The little official calmly asked, "Why do you want to run?"

"Because I don't want to be at the mercy of you dogs. The woman said coldly, "What Nuwa is making people and making slaves is nothing more than Zi Song Zhi's deception." ”

"It's an indisputable fact that you're a water demon. ”

"Hmph. The woman smiled contemptuously and straightened her messy hair.

Hu Ming urged the horse to run from a distance, holding a crying baby in his hand. The baby's body was wrapped in two layers of white cloth, which were white and flawless, and the red birthmark in the shape of a lotus flower on the face was even more obvious.

"Gao Cedar, you brute!" the woman's chest rose and fell violently, and she gritted her teeth, and a tear flew out of her eyes and fell straight into the baby's forehead. The baby immediately stopped crying, and watched everything silently with red eyes.

"You're a water demon, it's useless to struggle so hard. ”

"Oh, what is useful?"

"Reincarnation!"

Scold...... The woman's hands on her shoulders trembled, and a strange smile appeared on her face, and then her body suddenly exploded, turning into a cloud of blood.

"Alas, why bother, you won't die if you go to Duanguo. With a wave of his hand, the cage collapsed into a barren mound. He dismounted and walked closer, and said softly: "But you can go with confidence, you enter the six realms, and I will let this child return your reincarnation." ”

Hu Ming asked, "Gao Tou'er, what should I do with this child?"

The little official said lightly: "Like everyone else, let's send them to Duanguo." The baby looked at the little official's face and laughed.

......

Duanguo is in the southwest of Shenzhou in Chixian County, surrounded by the sea on all sides, the land is mountainous, relying on the danger of the sky, and the Douju Mountain in the hinterland of the westernmost desert is the most magnificent and precipitous. There are eight peaks in Douju Mountain, one elephant, two lions, three tigers, four leopards, five wolves, six dogs, seven cats, eight rats, from the east to form a spiral arrangement, gradually rise, the highest peak straight into the sky, very spectacular. Each peak is surrounded by steep cliffs on all sides, and there is only one iron cable connected to the front peak, and there is no other way, and the iron ropes are wrapped in a seven-colored changing mist.

At the foot of the Fighting Beast Mountain, there is quicksand that eats people, and it is impossible to walk, and there is only a small road for people to enter and exit, leading to Qiaodong Village, Shuhe Town, Jinzhou, and the whole village is filled with a strong bloody atmosphere. There is a main street in Qiaodong Village, and at the end of the main street is a large mansion, guarded by two evil lions, and the lord of the house is called Pei Jiutian.

Pei Jiutian likes to raise scholars, there are many diners in the hermit mansion, and their abilities are also different, and three of them are the most important: Ji Kun, the leader of the courtyard ghosts, whose kung fu is ranked in the entire Duanguo; the master Yu Jiwu, who is familiar with astronomy and geography, is the first think tank in Pei's mansion; and Chang An, a warlock, is familiar with all kinds of lost witchcraft, and is unpredictable. The nurses of Duanguo are all dressed in black, called "courtyard ghosts". According to the different levels, the material of the black clothes worn is also high and low, the first-class courtyard ghosts wear silk, the second-class courtyard ghosts wear fine cotton, and the third-class courtyard ghosts wear kudzu cloth, but they will never wear linen, and only those who do rough work wear linen clothes.

"Is the fourth wife born?" Pei Jiutian asked anxiously.

"Born, born. The midwife held the baby who was still covered in blood, and smiled like a chrysanthemum on her face, "Congratulations to Master Pei, he is a handle." ”

"Has the fourth lady seen it?"

"Not yet, as soon as I came out, I brought it to the lord to report the good news. ”

Pei Jiutian took the child, handed it to the person wearing a black robe on the side, and said, "Chang'an, find a good family." ”

"Yes. Chang An agreed, turned around and left, leaving only Pei Jiutian with a gloomy face and a stunned midwife in the room.

Pei Jiutian fished out a baby with a lotus birthmark on his face from the fish tank and handed it to the midwife, saying, "Hold this child to the fourth wife." The midwife took the baby tremblingly and looked at Pei Jiutian with a frightened face.

"Rest assured. Pei Jiutian said, "When this matter is over, I will buy you a house, and you can retire." ”

"Yes, thank you, Master Pei. The midwife's eyes lit up and she went out with the baby in her arms.

Pei Jiutian called Ji Kun, the leader of the ghosts in the courtyard, and said in a low voice: "You go and kill that midwife, and then find a big mansion to bury it, I can't lose my trust." ”

"Yes. Ji Kun responded with a fist.

Outside the gate, a lame man walked with a staggering step, and a broken gong hung from a dirty gray cloth robe. The children who were playing with stones on the ground on the side of the road stood up when they saw him, and recited the song in a circle: "Rather provoke Yama, don't move the broken gong, as soon as the broken gong rings, you will die on the spot." Don't talk about favors, don't cash register. No one collects the body, and hell goes. ”

The Gong Breaker looked up at them, his face expressionless, and continued to limp forward.
