After Zhang Hanguang and Zuo Ling went out, the man who had led the way to everyone came to the living room again, he led the five of them to a relatively large lounge, and then saluted and left. Several people found a place to sit down, all of them were thinking about something with serious faces, and no one spoke, and the atmosphere was so dull that it seemed to be about to condense.

Some couldn't stand the atmosphere of such weighing, Zhang Longqian looked at the four of them, and finally spoke: "I said...... Can I ask a question? ”

Bai Lu immediately replied with a sad face: "But my brain is also a mess, even if you ask a question, I can't guarantee that I can answer it!" ”

Zhang Longqian immediately smiled: "It's okay, I didn't count on you anyway...... Well, I mean, you don't have to worry about it anyway! ”

Bai Lu immediately pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Long Qian, what do you mean!" Bully! ”

As she spoke, she pounced on Zhang Longqian, who was sitting next to her, and waved her fist aggrievedly.

"Hahaha, sorry sorry." frolicking with Bai Lu as usual, the heaviness in the air was finally a little less, which made Zhang Longqian breathe a sigh of relief, and then circled Bai Lu to prevent her from continuing to move, Zhang Longqian looked at Zhou Miao and said, "Then again, where is the 'Demon Slaying Forest' you are going to go to?" Is it far away? ”

Glancing at Zhang Longqian, Zhou Miao said lightly: "The mountainous area I saw before I came in is." ”

Thinking that the endless hills he saw before walking into the Zhang family's mansion were indeed covered by dense forests, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but sigh with some surprise: "Wow...... The range is so big, and it's so close. If I'm not mistaken, those places are the land of the Zhang family, right? ”

Zhou Miao didn't say anything more, just silently took out his notebook from his satchel and buried his head in drawing, with a cold expression that didn't bother to say too much, which made Zhang Longqian couldn't help but smile bitterly, and heard Nangong Piao kindly reply: "It is indeed the land of the Zhang family, so the entire demon slaying forest is included in the outer protective prohibition of the Zhang family, and without destroying the outer prohibition, that monster can only run into the demon slaying forest." ”

After sorting out the information he got according to his common sense, Zhang Longqian always felt that something was wrong: "If the outer prohibition of the Zhang family has really not been broken as Zhang Hanguang said, then how did that monster come in?" If it can come in silently, then it may also leave silently, right? But why was Zhang Hanguang so sure that the monster did not leave the Zhang family, but was in the demon slaying forest? ”

Nangong Piao shook his head and said: "That's for sure, because the Zhang family's prohibition has been continuously strengthened for nearly a thousand years, and no creature in this world can come in quietly." ”

"If that's the case, how did that monster get into the Zhang family?"

"I'm afraid...... It's from the Demon Slayer Forest. ”

Looking at Nangong Piao, who frowned slightly, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but doubt his ears: "There are monsters in the Demon Slaying Forest?" There are actually monsters living in the territory of the first family of the Dao Law Realm? ”

It's not that Zhang Longqian is making a fuss, it's just that it is impossible for teachers and monsters to get along in harmony, just look at the reactions of Nangong Piao and Bai Lu when Zhang Longqian proposed to cooperate with Tsu Ye at that time, but in this most powerful family territory in the whole Dao Law Realm, right under the noses of these mages, there are monsters!

It's unusual.

Seeing that Zhang Longqian's face was full of puzzlement, Nangong Piao smiled lightly: "It's not something to be surprised about, the entire Dao Law Realm knows it." ”

You know? Know what? Know that there are monsters in the Demon Slayer Forest? It's obviously called "Demon Slayer", but there are monsters in the forest?

Hearing Nangong Piao's words, Zhang Longqian didn't understand it even more, and his gaze became suspicious when he looked at Nangong Piao.

"Is this Zhang family really the 'No. 1 family in the Dao Law Realm', not the 'No. 1 family in the Demon Realm'?"

"Long Qian, you misunderstood! The monsters in the Demon Slaying Forest and the Zhang family are not in a harmonious relationship, and if you insist on saying it, it should be ......" After thinking for a while, Nangong Piao raised his index finger, "Well...... the relationship between 'prisoners' and 'guards', it's just that the Zhang family is much stronger than the so-called 'guards'......"

Hearing this, Zhang Longqian didn't understand even more: "Prisoner? ”

Thinking about such a little explanation, it seems that the more he talks, the more chaotic it becomes, Nangong Piao simply started from the beginning.

In places that mortals don't know, youkai have always existed in the human world, and some even quietly coexist with humans, even now, but compared to the huge number of humans, the number of youkai who only live in certain special environments is not very many, and it can even be called rare.

But in ancient times, especially in ancient times, the situation of youkai and humans was reversed.

At that time, the environment was too harsh for humans who were not technologically developed, and it could even be said that it was cruel, so it was not humans who dominated the world, but many more powerful creatures, one of which was the "demon" that far surpassed humans in terms of intelligence and ability.

However, with the passage of time, human beings have advanced at an extremely terrifying speed, they have far more wisdom than other creatures, have mastered unique technology, and learned the power to protect themselves, so gradually, human beings who can only survive in a privileged environment begin to spread their footsteps, with the wisdom, technology, and strength that only humans have, they have gained a foothold in the harsh environment, and developed little by little.

Slowly, humans became the masters of this world.

When humans have spread all over the world, the environment in which youkai can exist is gradually decreasing. The number of human beings is increasing, and they can't find a suitable place to live, so the monsters who only want to ascend to the Tao leave one after another and go to the demon realm that is more suitable for cultivation, and the number that still exists in the human realm is getting smaller and smaller.

But this trend came to an abrupt halt some 1,700 years ago.

At that time, it was the Western Jin Dynasty, and the number of monsters that were gradually decreasing suddenly increased abnormally, reaching an unimaginable number today, and all kinds of monsters were rampant in the world, demagoguery, which directly led to the chaos in the later period of the Western Jin Dynasty, and caused the situation of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms.

The chaos in the human world is not painful for the monsters, and even they are happy to see it, there are many terrifying powerhouses in the huge group of monsters, and at that time, the Dao Dharma world is just beginning to take shape, not only lacks Taoist mages with extraordinary skills, but the structure is not mature enough to form an effective counterattack force, and only a few powerful heavenly masters can barely stand up. As a result, the monsters became more and more unscrupulous, slaughtering human beings, manipulating human beings, bewitching human beings, stirring the human world into a miasma, and the war continued, almost becoming hell.

This went on for about a hundred and thirty years, until a group of people appeared.
