Chapter 130: The First Preacher
……
Quiet!
When the huge and strange demon burned into a fire and fell from the sky like a sunset, the whistling demon wind it created also stopped.
The chickens and dogs in the entire mountain village stopped their voices almost at the same time.
Inside the huts, the nervous and frightened villagers saw this scene through the cracks in the doors and windows, and their hearts were full of confusion, not knowing what the situation was.
After all, they did not see the passage, only the beginning and the result.
And even Wang Tie and the others, who clearly saw the whole process, just stood in place in a daze, lost their souls.
It wasn't until the wife and children of the family at the entrance of the village cried and ran over that this strange silence was broken.
"Childe ......" The village chief turned his head to look at Lin Tuo as if he had woken up from a dream, but saw that the "demon slayer" with a mysterious origin had withdrawn his hand indifferently, took a step, and walked towards the place where the demon fell outside the village.
Huaxi's movements were faster, as if he was worried that the other party was not dead, so he ran away for it, and in the blink of an eye, two figures, one big and one small, went into the distance.
……
"Teacher, you're not dead yet." When Lin Tuo came to the small river outside the village, he heard Huaxi, who arrived first, turn his head and say.
He didn't say anything, stepped forward, and looked down at the strange white wolf.
The huge body was drenched in blood and covered in charred paste.
The hair of the steel needles was broken, and the two wings were broken.
Exhaling a lot, taking in a lot of air, as if he couldn't live, half of his body was on the bank of the river, and his dark green eyes were full of fear.
"Give it a treat." Lin Tuodao.
"Okay." Huaxi said, then stretched out her tender white hand and slashed it between her throat, separating the fur and throat with the blade made of etheric condensation, and after a few breaths, she twitched for a while, and there was no movement.
Well, frankly, this demon is weaker than you think.
It is naturally much more powerful than ordinary mountain and forest beasts, especially the "demonic energy" on the body, and I don't know if it is a unique ability or the general talent of the demon.
Once released, nearby life instincts will tremble, somewhat similar to breath suppression.
In this case, only ranged attacks are more effective, but they can fly...... For people of this era, it is indeed almost incomprehensible.
But needless to say, Lin Tuo, even Huaxi will not be afraid of this so-called aura suppression.
Well, the overall strength is stronger than the mutated beasts of the wasteland, but it is also limited.
As for the fire that ignited at the end, it was a fire elemental spell model that Lin Tuo had recently learned from the spell books he had collected.
The original name was: Burst Fireball
But he didn't think it sounded good......
When Huaxi was fighting, he secretly began to sketch, and he was prepared, but he didn't expect to use it in the end.
"It's so weak." Washed the blood on his hands with the river water next to him, Huaxi commented.
Lin Tuo smiled, thinking that it was a month or two ago, at that time, you were afraid that you would not be able to fight at all, so you could only use a gun...... However, this is not surprising.
After all, the cultivation of these demons completely relied on instinct, and the etheric thread they attracted was only stronger than the vine at the beginning of the opening of heaven and earth, and it was much worse than the qi eating method.
At the end of the day, the wild road is not good.
Shaking his head, Lin Tuo said, "Let's go." ”
Then I turned around and saw that almost all the people of the village had come out, and there was a commotion, and someone lit a torch, and the surroundings were bright.
At this moment, seeing Lin Tuo returning, they closed their mouths one after another, gathered together, and looked at the two of them with awe-inspiring eyes.
The village chief at the head had calmed down a little at this time, but his body was still trembling.
Standing in front of the crowd with Wang Tie's support, seeing Lin Tuo and Huaxi returning, he was silent, and suddenly took the lead and fell to the ground:
"The old man has eyes but no beads, and he doesn't know real people, I hope my son will forgive me."
At this time, he had already woken up, since these two "demon slayers" were so powerful, how could the thin two doors block his discussion?
Under the leadership of the old man, the rest of the villagers also fell to the ground in fear, only a few village children slowed down a few beats, and bowed down under the pull of their parents, but their eyes were full of curiosity.
If it was two months ago, Lin Tuo would still be uncomfortable facing this scene, but with a few sand table experiences, he already knew that it was best to be calm in the face of such a situation.
So, he nodded, glanced at Wang Tie, and said, "That demon is dead, you take someone to dispose of the corpse." ”
After saying that, he took a step back to the village with Huaxi, leaving only a group of villagers at a loss.
After a while, everyone slowly came to the small river outside the village under the leadership of Wang Tie, and when they saw the bloody body, they were suffocated for a while, and their hearts became more and more in awe of the two demon slayers.
……
In the wings.
Hua Xi saw that Lin Tuo didn't have any instructions, so he thought about it, and simply climbed onto the fire to run the Qi Eating Method cross-legged to try to restore the ether.
Lin Tuo, on the other hand, just stood in front of the window, listening to the noise outside, feeling the warmth of the house, and bowing his head, as if thinking about something.
Killed a demon, satisfied his curiosity, did a good deed, and by the way, also gave Huaxi a chance to fight, and there was no need to stay here.
Combined with what he learned, he probably had an idea of which scheme to use to spread the food gas method:
"Originally, I wanted to use the previous methods again, but now I don't think it's appropriate.
The various vassal states and regions of the human race have very different accents from each other, and it is not advisable to manifest directly and inform all human beings from the sky, and the method of preaching similar to the manifestation of the Chi Kingdom is too cumbersome and unnecessary......
The political regime is scattered, and it is not suitable to lead the whole area from point to point, and in the same way, there are not many people in this era who can have the conditions and perseverance to persist in cultivation......
Correspondingly, because of the existence of demons, people's thirst for power is extremely strong. ”
"Well, perhaps...... You can try that. ”
Lin Tuo thought about it, and gradually had an idea in his heart.
At this time, he suddenly heard someone coming from the courtyard, and his footsteps were scattered, he immediately pushed open the door, only to see more than a dozen villagers walking together, and the old man led by him was still holding a tray.
"...... this?" Lin Tuo raised his eyebrows.
Immediately, I heard the village chief bow down and say: "The son slashes the demon, there is no way to repay it, everyone has scraped together some money, please accept it." ”
Wang Tie next to him saw that Lin Tuo's expression remained unchanged, and hurriedly added: "I know that Gongzi must not lack these, but the village is barren, and he really can't do anything." ”
"No, it's just a matter of effort." Lin Tuo refused with a smile, and then took the opportunity to say, "Since the wolf demon has been ambushed, we won't bother much, and there are still some things, so let's leave." ”
Behind him, Hua Xi, who felt that this world was too barren, also ended his cultivation and followed.
Several villagers looked at each other, wanting to stay longer, but they didn't dare, so they had to bow down again in Lin Tuo's smiling eyes, and after a few words of thanks, they wanted to send each other.
Only Wang Tie's expression changed, then he gritted his teeth, suddenly bowed down, and said:
"Childe, I'...... I have a reluctant request...... I don't know ......."
"What is that power, you ask?" Lin Tuo saw through his thoughts at a glance and broke through.
Wang Tie saw that his mind was broken, and he didn't hide it anymore, raised his head, and his eyes were full of expectations:
"Don't hide it from my son, I've also been out and about, but I've never heard of 'Demon Slayer', and I never thought that people can also master the power of confrontation with demons.
In the past, only some large cities with officers and soldiers stationed could fight against one or two, but every time there were heavy casualties......
Now...... Tonight's incident is really something I have never seen in my life, Wang Tie doesn't dare to be greedy, he just wants Gongzi to give me some advice...... Or, what exactly is that power? ”
These words were somewhat incoherent, showing his inner unpeace.
Lin Tuo smiled when he heard this, and then according to the manuscript in his heart, he said, "Vitality." ”
"Vitality?"
"Yes, all things in heaven and earth have spirits, and where people gather, they have their own heaven and earth vitality, heaven and earth treasures, and they are precious because they breathe in vitality, and monsters of all races are so powerful in breathing in vitality.
The vitality of heaven and earth accompanies human beings, so demons often walk the world ......"
"And since the grass, trees, and beasts can absorb the vitality of heaven and earth, people, of course, can."
"Can people also breathe in vitality?"
"Of course, what human beings lack is only one cultivation method."
After a pause, Lin Tuo looked at Wang Tie, whose eyes were getting brighter and brighter in front of him, and said with a smile: "Do you want to learn?" ”
Wang Tie was short of breath, and his heart was full of disbelief:
"Gong ...... Childe is willing to teach me? ”
Lin Tuo smiled lightly: "It's not just you, but if anyone wants to learn, I will teach it, as for whether you can learn it and insist on cultivating, it's up to you." ”
"That'...... I'm going to learn too. ”
"Me too!"
Several villagers next to him also came to their senses and said one after another, and then ran out to spread the news to others.
So, just a moment later, the whole village came to the inside and outside of the courtyard.
It was so crowded that those who couldn't get in had to stand outside the courtyard in anticipation, and the parents tried to get their children through the gaps just to hear better.
After seeing the miserable wolf demon, no one doubted Lin Tuo's identity, let alone dared to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If you can learn how to breathe in the vitality of heaven and earth, won't you no longer have to worry about the village being violated?
Or think about it a little more, if you can become a "demon slayer", wouldn't you be able to become a guest of honorable officials?
Whatever the reason, no one wants to miss this opportunity.
However, people were stunned to find that there was not much difference between huddled in front and behind, because the "demon slayer" of mysterious origin did not speak, but just told everyone to quiet down and close their eyes.
Then, Lin Tuo, who was sitting in the chair that Wang Tie had moved, also closed his eyes.
……
Away from the mountain, in the study.
Because of the time difference, it is night in the sand table, but it is still morning when it is away from the mountain.
At the desk, the main body, who was also sitting in the rattan chair, opened his eyes, raised his hand, and pulled out one of the magic books in the row in front of him, and spread it out.
"Boom la la ......"
The breeze blows in, and the pages are turned, and soon stops at a certain page in the middle.
The page was folded, and a model of a spell was depicted on the white paper.
Name: Breathing (Auxiliary Practice)
Cost: 3 mana units
Range: 15 yards
Effect: The higher life spirits in the area covered by the spell will be drawn into a meditative state, subconsciously mimicking the caster's breathing pattern. (This spell is used to assist in the introduction of cultivation methods)
……
In the next second, Lin Tuo glanced at this relatively simple Dao pattern with a final confirmation, closed his eyes, and began to sketch in his consciousness.
A moment later, an invisible aetheric ripple rippled out, covering the entire house, the courtyard, and the vast world in the sandbox.
……
At this moment, the whole world breathed with Lin Tuo.
