54. Chapter IX

The person who was seriously painting in the sea of roses suddenly put his brush down.

"Ants hiding in the shadows, what are you trying to do to this king?" The man's anger seemed to come inexplicably, and a faint monster totem appeared behind it.

Wei Shengqing involuntarily spoke this time.

"It's just, look."

That person's face suddenly became clear, but before Wei Shengqing could see who it was, the scene in front of him was instantly shattered.

"What's wrong with you?" Rui Xue pushed Wei Shengqing, making her sit up straight again in a trance.

"It's fine." The slightly pale face made Wei Shengqing's words unbelievable, Rui Xue stared at her for a few seconds, and said, "I know・・・・・・ you guys, Demon Hunter." ”

Staring at Rui Xue in surprise, Wei Shengqing didn't know where Rui Xue knew about it, but this secret that Ruoxue has always kept, the secret that the Demon Hunting Guild has always kept is known to "ordinary people", what are the joints in this?

Rui Xue didn't explain, but said a little lowly: "I heard that you have killed a lot of people, is it because of me?" Your injuries too? ”

"No, there will come a day, it's none of your business." Keeping calm, Rui Xue's expression was too much like self-blame.

Rui Xue just shook her head and didn't say anything more.

She is too independent and does not need anyone's persuasion and enlightenment.

Such a person is also even more distressing, Wei Shengqing once again ignored the scene he saw, and regarded it as the sequelae of the last hallucination, this strange energy, who can say clearly?

Yue An came to take a look at Wei Shengqing's injury at seven o'clock in the evening as usual, Yue Ping seemed to have disappeared during this time, and Yue An didn't mean to be in a hurry.

"The injury is almost recovered." Yue An pushed his glasses and said with some hesitation: "Although it is not good to send you a task as soon as your injury is healed, but the guild really can't find a more suitable person than you・・・・・・ Yue Ping found a relic under this school, which seems to be the place where the guild warriors killed the monster king a hundred years ago." We thought that there might be a demon hunting weapon that the guild had lost to deal with the monster king, the Book of Life and Death. ”

Yue An paused, looked at Wei Shengqing's unfazed face, and said: "But after testing, there are many sleeping monsters in the ruins, as long as people who can use energy enter, they will wake up, each of them is comparable to the top ten generals of monsters・・・・・・ guild feels that you are the most suitable person to enter." ”

"So, did they decide to send me?" Wei Shengqing was still calm.

Yue An subconsciously raised his glasses and said, "If you can get the Book of Life and Death, the guild will allow you to mention any condition that is within the scope of the guild's ability, and promote you to an A-level demon hunter." ”

"Okay." Simply agreed, seeing the joy flashing in Yue An's eyes, Wei Shengqing said again: "What have you prepared?" ”

"Because the space inside is very unstable, we can only use cold weapons, and we can't use the energy in the demon hunting weapon, so all we can prepare is protective clothing and rope daggers・・・・・・" Yue An said with some embarrassment, as a relic of the decisive battle a hundred years ago, the danger is not yet known, but the guild can only provide these protections, which is also a bit of a pitfall.

Wei Shengqing didn't seem to care, and asked, "Am I the only one who goes in?" ”

"Yes," Yue An said as if he had let go, "You're the only one." ”

But I didn't want Wei Shengqing to be more indifferent than she imagined, "Then can I leave at any time?" ”

"・・・・・・ Guild has dug out the entrance, so you can go in tomorrow." Yue An didn't understand Wei Shengqing's thoughts very well, but the guild's original arrangement was to go down as soon as possible.

I want to go down sooner and solve the illusions that always pop up in my mind. Wei Shengqing intuitively felt that the person who painted was the king of monsters, but why did that king appear in his hallucination, maybe the ruins would give him an answer.

The next day, the sky was overcast, the dark clouds were very low, it seemed that a heavy rain was about to fall, the wind was blowing heavily, and there was already a damp smell.

Most of the students in the school were sent out of the school for various reasons, and the students who stayed stayed in the dormitories and did not dare to go out. This kind of weather is the most suitable for gods and demons and the like.

"How's the monster over there?"

"Still huddled in that place, as long as we find the book of life and death, we don't have to worry."

"A hundred years ago, we couldn't destroy the monster king, and now that our technology is so advanced, we can't even do anything about it, eh! By the way, did the team that stole research work succeed? ”

"It's been a long time since they lost contact, probably because the whole army was wiped out, and the second team set off yesterday."

"How long will it be before we can live in peace? Damn it! ”

"Don't think too much, as long as the book of life and death is taken out, we have a great chance of winning."

The Demon Hunters gathered around the entrance of a cave, nervously and expectantly discussing the recent situation.

Wei Shengqing glanced back at the place where the 423 bedroom was, Rui Xue suddenly had a fever, she was a little caught off guard, and she was more determined to go to the ruins.

"I'll go down with you." Wakayuki wears a wide cloak, and only the sound that comes out of her voice indicates her identity.

"It's not that there is no energy・・・・・・" Wei Shengqing's eyes were attracted by her cloak, and her brows frowned involuntarily.

"It doesn't matter if you don't use energy, even if you don't use energy, you won't be able to defeat me." Ruoxue's words seem to be stating a fact, but it is true. Ruoxue didn't give Wei Shengqing the slightest sense of oppression, but as long as she thought of her, Wei Shengqing would have a feeling that life and death were not in her hands.

So she didn't say anything more, and went into the cave with a cat's waist.

The cave was obviously recently excavated, but it was large enough to tell the guild's execution and efficiency, and at the end of the cave was a door, and the air was slightly distorted, but it seemed to be the exact opposite of the spatial distortion caused by the energy of demon hunters and monsters.

"Come in and don't look back."

Ruoxue's voice sounded low behind her, and Wei Shengqing stepped through the door.

For a moment, the space was fragmented, and at this moment, Wei Shengqing saw a person holding a paintbrush, looking at a painting, which was not real, but faintly revealed a sense of familiarity.

"The paintings made by the human pen are more beautiful."

This voice is unfamiliar, but very gentle.

The next moment, the broken space seemed to be integrated again, and Wei Shengqing found himself in a large hall, the main hall was empty, and there were monsters like ordinary people standing on both sides, but there was no divine light in his eyes, and at the end of the hall was a huge chair.

There was no light source here, but it was eerily visible, even the faint blood stains on the floor were recognizable.

"Finally, it's here." Ruoxue's voice sighed a little, and Wei Shengqing suddenly summoned Zuo Mingdao and turned to look at her.

Ruoxue's wide cloak had been removed, and the unconscious Rui Xue was put down by her.

"You ・・・・・・" Wei Shengqing couldn't understand what Ruoxue wanted to do at all.

"Aren't you looking for the Book of Life and Death? Go to the chair in the main hall. Ruoxue gently stroked Rui Xue's wrist.

Wei Shengqing didn't move.

Ruoxue smiled bitterly, "The monster totem on Rui Xue's body can't be suppressed anymore, do you know that it's dark under the light?" Only in this monster temple that eliminates the use of energy, the monster totem in her hand will not be discovered by those monsters. ”

Wei Shengqing stood there for a moment, and found that Ruoxue was calmly looking at herself, with only concern for Rui Xue in her eyes, a person who had silently guarded Rui Xue for more than ten years, if she wanted to hurt her, she would have done it a long time ago.

She withdrew her knife and walked step by step to the book of life and death on the chair.

Ruoxue lowered her head and gently held Rui Xue's wrist with her hand.

The Book of Life and Death is in the shape of a book, and no one knows what is in it or how to use it, except for the absolute upper echelons of the guild.

Although nearly a hundred years have passed, there is not a trace of dust on the ground, and when Wei Shengqing got closer, he found that the walls of the ground, including the top of the hall above his head, were painted with dark red roses.

But the huge chair did not have a trace of pattern, it was natural, the book of life and death on the chair was not covered, and there was not a trace of blood around it, only near the entrance there were mottled blood marks.

When my fingers touched the chair, it was as if it had been electrocuted by an electric current.

I faintly heard the unfamiliar voice just now.

"Do you like roses? I prefer peach blossoms, did you know that there are many poems about peach blossoms in the human world? It's beautiful. ”

"Boom-" With a loud bang, Wei Shengqing subconsciously turned around, only to see Ruoxue standing in the corner of the main hall with Rui Xue in her arms, and the entrance gate just now had been covered by the sudden collapse.

"Don't care, get the book of life and death." Ruoxue is very calm.

Wei Shengqing no longer hesitated, and gently picked up the thin book.

After glancing at it, Wei Shengqing was stunned, and the three words of the book of life and death were embellished with a few delicate peach blossoms.

"This is the Book of Life and Death?" Ruoxue leaned Rui Xue against the wall, took the book of life and death in Wei Shengqing's hand, glanced at it casually, and couldn't help but show a mocking smile, "This is the book of life and death?" ”

She repeated it again, then threw the book to Wei Shengqing.

Puzzled, Wei Shengqing turned the first page, only to see a few words written on it squarely: Demon Hunting Notes.

Is it just a notebook? Frowning and flipping down, Wei Shengqing realized that this might really be just a notebook.

"Yu Hunting Demon for 30 years, between life and death, great horror, defeat the fear of the heart, and only then can you fight the god of war. Therefore, it is remembered that 30 years of wind and rain have been in danger. ”

"In August of the year of Yiwei, when he met the monster general, this fang was swift and unparalleled, and the ordinary eyes and ears could not be traced, and the rest was seriously injured and dying, and his head was cut off ・・・・・・" "The end of the year ・・・・・・ Yiwei"

After turning two pages, the font was changed, and the fly-headed small letters originally written with a brush have also become the dragon and phoenix dance of the fountain pen.

"On March 6, 1957, cold-blooded led one hundred and ten monsters and plundered dozens of virgins.

“・・・・・・”

But two pages, in a very different font, and the way he recorded it was completely different.

"The book of life and death should be a holy weapon, defeating the strong with the weak and defeating the enemy. Today, I learned that the monster king will turn things around, and he is determined to assassinate, and he will remember this trip in the book of life and death, and carry it with him, hoping to be able to take this body into account, or damage the monster king. ”

This is probably the reason for the so-called life and death book to kill the monster king.

Wei Shengqing sighed, the holy relics that the guild was chasing to the death turned out to be on the bodies of every demon hunter.

The treasure that the Demon Hunter was looking forward to was just a lie that had been passed down from the past.

After all, the only people who can help human beings are human beings. Looking forward to the hope brought by other things, so stupid, in the end, this hope is just a misunderstanding.

Wei Shengqing was still about to take the book of life and death with her, and wanted to put it in her backpack, but her eyes moved, and she saw that there were still words on the back two pages, and opened it curiously.

This page is painted with peach blossoms in twos and threes, which can be seen to be painted with blood, the red is strange and gorgeous, and there are two lines of poetry in the middle of the page.

"The human face does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze."

These two lines of poetry seem to be the same as the pen used by the third person, but between the lines is powerful through the back of the paper.

A faint bloody aura emanated, and Rui Xue suddenly frowned.

"Ahem, ahem." She woke up slowly, not knowing if it was an illusion, Wei Shengqing saw the peach blossoms blooming in her eyes.
