Volume 2 Descending the Mountain Chapter 71 Demon Suppression Division
Bai Xiao flew high into the sky and looked around at the great rivers and mountains.
How many dynasties rise and fall, how many immortal gates prosper and wither, prosper, the people suffer, prosper, the people suffer.
Qingzhu Village was extinguished, and the heart of the old man Li Ya seemed to be extinguished. His speech was not as sharp as when he first met, and his hands and feet began to tremble, and he clutched the green sheep tightly and said nonsense, saying that among the ten thousand armies, there were more young soldiers than white hair. It is said that in that village, there are only old and weak women and children, and no young people have returned home. said that the Chu pawn who was holding his chest covered his mouth, covering the blood gushing out of his mouth, and his eyes were split. said that the invincible Han general on the battlefield whispered "Mother, mother" before he died. ”
Old Man Li may be talking about the class, or maybe he is really tired, and he leans on the old grinding disc and falls asleep.
The grinding disc is very old, and the old stone disc is full of traces of time. Whose little boy carved a word, whose boy secretly used charcoal to write the name of his sweetheart under the grinding plate. The grinding disc is also very large, and the three of them can't hold it together, which is used by the whole village of Qingzhu Village to make food. Now no one in Qingzhu Village can grind grain anymore, the grinding disc may have endured too much wind and rain, or it may be consciously boring, boom, and broken.
Li Ya lay in the pile of rubble, and turned his head when he got it. This antique thing like him can really make people sleep sweetly.
Qingyang was also tired for a day and a night, hugged the shoulders of the old man Li Ya, and slept sweetly.
Only Bai Xiao looked at the sky worriedly, and hundreds of demon sealers ran out from under the Burial Demon Cliff, like dandelions blown by the wind, scattered towards Xianyang, and along the way, I don't know how many places will repeat the mistakes of Qingzhu Village.
Are they at fault with the Demon Sealers? The innocent people who were farming at home were inexplicably taken hostage to the burial palace, and inexplicably there was an extra ghost in their body, and they had to endure the pain of ghosts devouring their flesh and blood every day, just to live one more day, and one more day, there will always be hope.
Maybe others don't understand, but Bai Xiao understands that he has seen the face of the Yin Dragon, the face that is extremely desperate but yearns for freedom.
Yu Jiu squatted beside the stone bridge pier, his clothes were ragged and stinking lazy, a broken branch did not even have a few leaves, and the missing celadon white bowl was thrown at his feet, his eyes were blank, but he secretly looked at the surrounding movements.
The summer cicadas buzzed and stirred people's brains, and the little beggar by the stone bridge stood up, causing passers-by to cover their noses for a while, throwing out a few copper plates and scolding: "Hurry up." Get out of here. ”
Yu Jiu skillfully touched the money, folded his hands and bowed ugly and said, "Thank you, master." ”
Then he ran to the bun shop next door, dropped the two copper plates he had just picked up, grabbed the two buns and stuffed them into his arms, and hid under the stone bridge.
The official of the town happened to pass by by by boat, and saw that Yujiu was screaming with his teeth burned by the bun in his arms, and he was reluctant to put it down, and he gobbled it up when he stuffed it into his mouth, making his mouth full of bubbles. The funny and real action caused the officials to laugh.
In the cabin was a handsome boy with a flask pinned to his waist. I heard that it was the county guard who had just fallen from Xianyang, so I came to inspect the situation in each county first.
Zhou Qing, the county magistrate, was born in a person, liked to read and write sour and rotten articles, and was extremely enthusiastic about the arrival of the county guard, and ordered the official to support the boat, and he and the future county guard took a boat to drink and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou County.
Unexpectedly, before the boat drove a few miles, he saw such a beggar who spoiled the scenery, and the county commander Zhou Qingqi's face turned white.
Fortunately, the county keeper of the fifth grade didn't care, but just asked casually: "Hang County is rich in aquatic products, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, where did this little beggar come." ”
The county commander Zhou Qing was angry at first, and then became afraid, his face became even more pale and weak, and he grabbed the official who was laughing outside the cabin and asked, "What's going on?" ”
The fat servant covered his ears and said aggrievedly, "My lord, this is not from our county. It was a beggar who came to our county a few months ago, and I heard that there was something wrong with his brain. Squatting and begging all day long, and sleeping under the bridge at night, it is also honest. The brothers couldn't bear to drive him out of starvation to death, but he didn't cause trouble anyway, so they simply let him live in the bridge cave temporarily. ”
Zhou Qing frowned, observed the face of the county guard, and said tentatively: "All things have spirits, and coming is fate." In that case, let's keep him in the county. Just keep a close watch and don't let this madman make trouble. ”
Seeing that the young county guard was not angry, Zhou Qing was complacent.
But one of the adults just took a sip of wine and fell asleep, and before falling asleep, he casually said, "Those who respect others are people." Those who think about people are officials. He who tolerates others is king. ”
Zhou Qing didn't care whether the county keeper who was sleeping with his eyes closed could see it or not, and exited the cabin with a smile on his face.
Wandering under the bridge, Debao, who had been dependent on each other for his life, fell into the water in an encounter with Fengyulou Saucer a few days ago, and his whereabouts are unknown.
Hangzhou County is still thousands of miles away from Xianyang, and there are still dangers on the way, with the assassins of Zhulu Mountain, the monks of the Demon Gate of the Burial Palace, and the explorers of the Great Qin Wind and Rain Tower, and even the military people will intervene in it.
Yu Jiu lay lazily on the bluestone slab of the bridge cave, I don't know if it was acting or real, his eyes were as godless as hopeless.
When his will was at his most depressed, he remembered a long time ago, when that equally thin figure, standing in front of him, seemed to be able to resist everything in the world. "What would he do if my brother was here, he wouldn't let me be bullied."
Perhaps too tired, Devouring Nine finally let down his guard, turned into one of the most common stones in the cave, and fell asleep.
Bai Xiao always felt a little strange, as if someone was looking at him, and when he looked back, there was nothing.
The noon sky gradually darkened, Bai Xiao gathered the remains of the remaining villagers, gathered them into a small fire, lit a beacon fire, and sat cross-legged and silently recited the "Taishang Cave Xuanling Treasure Passing to Life and Saving Suffering".
Although the name is like an inferior imitation on the stall, it is indeed one of the ways to die in Longhu Mountain.
As the sun sank, the stars and the moon stood side by side, the ghost door was wide open, nineteen families in Qingzhu Village, more than thirty ghosts left one after another, and dozens of children in the altar of death also left the altar, followed by holding the hands of their parents, and said goodbye to Bai Xiao with a smile.
Bai Xiao was silent, quietly watching them reincarnate.
Li Ya and Qingyang slept all night, and the next morning when the rooster reported dawn, Qingyang took the lead in getting up, lifted the bamboo curtain, and found that Bai Xiao had already set up the tomb and engraved the cause and effect on a stone tablet, so as not to find the students who traveled home and could not find where the home was.
Qingyang walked not far from Bai Xiao's side, and after worshipping the tomb, he asked, "Where to go next?" ”
Bai Xiao shook his head and said, "I don't know if I should continue to go to the burial palace now, or find the demon sealers first and find a way to solve the time bomb in their bodies." ”
Old man Li Ya just woke up, and after a sleep, his mental state was much more recovered than yesterday, and when he heard Bai Xiao and Qingyang discussing the itinerary, he reminded: "It's better to go along Qingzhu Village, Bailang, Jiahe, Hang County, Taimiao County, Wuling County." Check all the way to see if there is a demon sealer. ”
Bai Xiao asked, "Doctor Li, can you find any clues from these two corpses?" ”
Old Man Li Ya shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's all powdered by you." Where are the corpses and clues? However, the closest to Qingzhu Village is Taimiao County, and if there are still demon sealers, it is likely to be hidden in the county seat. ”
Bai Xiao flew high into the air, his eyes were blazing, and he carefully investigated the remnants of the aura left on Qingzhu Village.
Sure enough, the veins of the spiritual energy, which were difficult to see with the naked eye, were all exposed after the beacon fire obscured them.
Qingyang and the Lei Fa aura that he had just used covered almost the entire Qingzhu Village, and although it was a night past, the remaining aura was still extremely large and turbulent.
But outside Qingzhu Village, there is an extremely slender and shallow spiritual power vein that leads directly to the small county town in the distance.
Bai Xiao returned to the earth and said, "Sure enough, another unfamiliar aura came from Taimiao County, looking at the degree of weakness, it should have been three days ago. ”
Qingyang touched his chin and said, "Then it makes sense, three days ago, someone chased and killed this pair of demon sealers and brothers, but I didn't expect that after killing my brother, my body turned into a scavenging ghost dragon and fought with it." Later, her sister also died and became a scavenger dragon. Under the attack of Shuanglong, this pursuer still killed a dragon, and he was defeated and died, causing the epidemic poison in Qingzhu Village. ”
Bai Xiao released the sense and looked around, but did not find a single monk's corpse, presumably this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
The two of them simply cleaned up, then said goodbye to Dr. Li Ya's epidemic doctor and set off for Taimiao County.
The two of them left with their front feet, and followed by a group of people in official robes, a group of seven people, with long knives and an ancient mirror hanging around their waists. The man at the head was very burly, standing in front of Li Ya was two feet tall, and his bare chest was still a scar of vertical and horizontal depths.
A valiant woman patrolled the surroundings and said, "My lord, there is no trace of the rest of the living."
The burly man took out a bronze token and said, "Epidemic doctor Li Ya, I recognize you." Wang Meng, the superintendent of the Demon Division in Xiazhen, also hopes that the old gentleman can tell me what happened just now. ”
When Li Ya heard the words Demon Suppression Division, his cloudy eyes suddenly sobered up, and he said, "Lord Wang Meng, you must be able to help the two young heroes of Dragon and Tiger Mountain."
Wang Meng's view of the surroundings, the earth is scorched, the thunder element is strong like a jar of daughter red, if it is not the Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain, Wang Meng does not believe it.
Wang Meng pulled Li Ya to sit down slowly, and said, "Old Doctor Li, if you have something to say, speak slowly."
Li Ya will tell you in detail about what happened from yesterday to today, which heroic woman has been carefully observing Li Ya's expression, and when she heard that the epidemic poisoned nineteen families in the village, she couldn't help but turn her eyes sideways to Wang Meng, and the corners of her eyes suddenly turned red.
When Li Ya finished saying everything that had happened, Wang Meng immediately ordered to set off for Taimiao County, and promised Li Ya: "Old Doctor Li, if I, Wang Meng, see the two young heroes you mentioned, I will definitely thank the young men for their great kindness for the young and old people of Qingzhu Village."
On the way, Wang Meng endured his grief and didn't dare to look back, and the seven colleagues of the Demon Suppression Division were all Wang Meng's siblings, so they naturally knew the reason. But no one spoke of consolation.
They knew in their hearts that the Overseer would not let his personal feelings interfere with his mission, and he always did. Only the heroic woman wept silently, and said to Wang Meng in front of her: "Millet is only eleven years old this year."
When Wang Meng heard this, he stepped on it and fell to the ground, blocking the hand that came to help, and said in a calm voice: "I know."
Wang Meng, the word Qingyuan, the Han clan of Qingzhu Village, the grandmother of the family, and the younger brother all went with Qingzhu Village.
