In the first battle of the corpse demon army, Zhang Wuren and I were not able to participate in the end. Just as Chen Wuye set off to sneak into the rear to carry out the battle plan, Zhang Wuren and I quietly left the line of life and death.

Zhang Wuren went east, went straight to the coast of the Bohai Sea, and then directly entered the deep sea under the response of the Shuijia Zhenhai people.

I headed south, then turned west, and entered the Underground Rift Valley in the Hoh Xil area to find the temporary capital of the Oni Country: Juyin City.

We didn't bring any negotiators, just a handwritten letter from the Emperor Ming and the supreme authority authorized to us by the Special Cases Division.

Because Zhang Wuren and I are the representatives of Middle-earth!

This mission to the country of ghosts and the deep sea world is extremely dangerous, even Zhang Wuren and I dare not say that we are completely sure that we can get out of the country, whether we can convince Zheng Kexiu and the Dragon King, and no one dares to guarantee it.

This goodbye may really be the last time we meet.

Outside Xilin Gol City, Zhang Wuren and I clasped our fists at each other, and then whispered, "All for Middle-earth!" ”

"All for Middle-earth!"

After saying this, the two of us parted ways without hesitation, and the technique of shrinking the ground into inches was unfolded, and disappeared in an instant.

Behind us, in the direction of Xilin Gol City, flames rose to the sky, sweeping half of the sky, black curtains and light intertwined, and countless hideous-looking corpse demons rose and fell, like black waves, directly towards Xilin Gol City.

After leaving Xilin Gol City, the further south you go, the brighter the light becomes. When I saw the sun again after a long absence, it was already 300 miles away.

Here, the influence of the Great Dark Age is only half of that of Xilin Gol City, and there is no shroud of black clouds in the sky, and there is no wind and snow that covers the sky.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and the world continues to move as usual, except that the sun is a little cold, and the yin is heavier than usual, there seems to be no difference between this place and the mainland.

I took a long breath, and the fragrance of the herbs and trees rushed into my nostrils, making me feel the smell of the yang world again.

For three years, I have been doing penance in the Arctic Circle in order to hone myself. That place was already under the world of the Great Dark Age, and I hadn't seen a ray of sunshine for three years.

I squinted and enjoyed it for a moment, then I heard a crisp voice coming from the side: "Grandpa, look!" Exorcist! ”

When I turned my head, I saw a seven or eight-year-old child pointing at me with excitement on his face, his eyes full of adoration.

I looked down at myself, only to find that I was wearing a dusty combat uniform, carrying a black and white sword of life and death, and a flame totem on the back of my left hand, which was a rune pattern formed by the aspiration of the sun's true fire.

This image is a standard exorcist who walks the rivers and lakes and slays demons.

I smiled at the child, and then I saw an old white-haired man come out next to the child. Although the old man was old, he was in good spirits, and said apologetically to me: "Sir, the child has never seen the world, and he is smiling." ”

The child excitedly said, "Grandpa! The combat uniform on his body is torn! I must have fought with demons and monsters! I want to hear their stories! ”

The old man shouted with a straight face: "What stories do children listen to?" Exorcists are busy, you know? ”

The look on the child's face darkened, and then nodded: "Yes, those evil spirits in the Arctic Ice Fields are very bad!" And want to invade Middle-earth! Uncle Exorcist wants to slay demons! ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran into the room next to him, and when he came out again, he was already holding a rough glass pendant in his hand, and inside the pendant, there was a very simple Sanqing Jiawu Evil Charm.

This Sanqing Jiawu Town Evil Talisman is passed down by the Daomen, from the point of view of technique, the painting is slightly rough, and the effect is greatly reduced, it should be a batch production of exorcists who have just started.

However, because of this, the price of this kind of evil charm is also relatively cheap, and where conditions permit, the relevant departments will collectively purchase it and distribute it to local residents, so as not to be possessed by evil demons who do not enter the stream.

In some places, the relevant departments are relatively poor, so they will buy some from the people to wear for people whose homes are relatively weak.

The boy carefully handed it to me and said aloud, "Uncle! Grandpa said, this is the evil charm, the best way to subdue demons and eliminate demons, you wear this, and when you fight with demons, they won't dare to possess you! ”

My heart warmed, then I touched his head and smiled, "Thank you, little friend." ”

The boy was very arrogant and said, "Uncle is polite! Grandpa often said that the exorcist is the one who protects us, and if you meet an exorcist who subdues demons, you must be polite and do your best to help them! ”

I touched his head and smiled, "I took away your evil charm charm, what should you do?" ”

The child's expression darkened, and he said, "We are about to leave here, grandpa said, the demons of the Arctic Ice Plain are very powerful, and many exorcists have died in Xilin Gol City." When we get into the Great Wall defenses, we won't need it. ”

The old man next to him said ashamedly: "Sir, I heard that the battle of Xilin Gol City has been repeated, and the exorcist soldiers have suffered countless casualties. An order has been issued from above, that all living people should give up all business and work, and immediately go south and seek refuge in the defense line of the Great Wall. ”

"You see, I've been running a restaurant here for three years, and I've been ordered to move out immediately."

Only then did I notice that the blue brick building leaning against the side of the road turned out to be a small restaurant. It's just that there is no shop in front of the village and no store in the back, only a traffic artery, which should be a business for tourists.

The sign had been taken down so long ago that I thought it was a family living here.

I smiled, reached out and took the evil charm from the boy's hand, and said, "We people in Middle-earth have a saying, call and not be rude. If you give me a charm, I will have to give you a gift to show my gratitude. ”

As soon as I stretched out my hand, a wisp of sword qi had already solidified, like a crystal, turning into a pendant. This is a sword talisman I made with the white sword of the black and white sword of life and death.

The white sword is the main life, and it can slay demons and subdue evil spirits. The effect is stronger than this child's evil charm I don't know how many times. If a demon approaches, the sword qi can kill the opponent on the spot.

The little boy liked swords and other weapons the most, and when he saw the sharp shape of my sword talisman, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and happily took it.

He patted his chest and said, "Uncle Exorcist, we will be friends from now on!" If I have the chance, I will also be a real exorcist and go to the north to fight! ”

The old man smiled and said, "Seeing that Mr. is dusty and haggard, why don't you come in and rest for a while?" I still have marinated beef here. ”

I shook my head and said, "No need, there are still important things on the juniors, and we can't delay." ”

The old man was slightly disappointed and said, "That's really a pity, in this way, you wait a while, I will prepare some dry food and drinking water for you, and the exorcist will also eat!" ”

I touched my bag of dry food, hesitated, and finally nodded.

It's been three years, and I haven't really eaten a serious meal, even if it's dry food, it's just a beast found on the Arctic Ice Sheet, and a casual barbecue and a little salt is a meal.

As for green vegetables, they are even more luxurious in the ice and snow.

Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've eaten marinated beef or pickled vegetables.

Meeting is fate, and it is not impossible to delay for a few minutes, so I sat on a chair on the side of the road, ready to wait for the old man to prepare dry food.

When the old man saw that I agreed, he immediately walked into the restaurant in a hurry, while the child lay on the table and kept asking me about the exorcists.

After a long battle, I didn't feel this peaceful state for a long time, so I chatted with the child without a match, who would have thought that at this time, suddenly smoke and dust flew in the distance, and then a team of exorcist soldiers in bright armor roared over.

I squinted my eyes and looked ahead, only to see that the team of exorcist soldiers were wearing white combat uniforms, with rune sabers hanging from their waists.

At that time, I had a slight doubt in my heart, you must know that this is an extraordinary time, Xilin Gol City and the surrounding defense line are all mobilized, and everything is aimed at resisting the ancestor of the corpse.

It can be said that except for the heralds and exorcist soldiers in charge of special tasks, as long as they go south, they can be treated as deserters!

Although the number of exorcist soldiers in this team is small, there are only more than thirty people, but everyone is in high spirits and looks extremely strong!

To put it bluntly, each of these more than 30 exorcist soldiers has the strength of the deputy flag commander level!

It's strange, if you're in a hurry, why don't you use the technique of shrinking the ground into inches? If someone doesn't know how to shrink the ground, why not take a car, or a helicopter?

You must know that although the line of defense of life and death is tight, it is still easy to vacate a few military jeeps!

Isn't he a real deserter?

Since I had doubts in my heart, I immediately patted the little boy on the ass and told him to go back to the house. The little boy was very clever, and when he saw that my expression was wrong, he immediately ran away, hiding behind the doorway and probing his brain.

Seeing this group of exorcist soldiers roaring towards me, I said loudly, "Guys and gentlemen! It's exhausting to travel long distances! Take a break here and moisten your throat with a glass of water! ”

When the exorcist soldiers heard my shout, they didn't even look back, didn't squint, and ran wildly. Only the leader glanced at me coldly, and said expressionlessly: "The military order is here, forgive me, farewell!" ”

I laughed and said, "Everyone, it is extremely hard to protect the territory and the people, and it is not a big deal to have a cup of tea around it." Please! ”

With that, I reached out and lifted two stools and placed them directly in the middle of the road.

At this stop, the exorcist soldiers on the opposite side immediately became angry, and the guy in the lead was even more hideous, shouting; "Fuck off! Stop the army, don't you want to die? ”

It's okay if he doesn't say it, but as soon as he says this, the exorcist soldiers behind him all look at me coldly, and then slow down.

Now I was even more suspicious in my heart, and I sneered in my heart. If this group of exorcist soldiers is okay, I'll unscrew my head and use it as a night pot!
