"Then have you ever thought that demons cannibalize people are just to survive, and we didn't think about demons when we subdued demons and eliminated demons...

Wang Yue'er finished half of her words but didn't say any more, maybe she could make a person who is incompatible with the demon say this, and it is indeed because she has suffered a lot of struggles in her heart.

"In the end, you still don't want to let go because of what happened three years ago, which will only hurt you, I thought that you had already opened up your travel in the past three years!"

A trace of sadness appeared on Wang Youlong's face.

"How can I forget? Witnessing my home destroyed by corpses, my parents fell at their feet, if they hadn't hid me in the water tank, I was afraid that I would not have died, my father-in-law took me back to Qianlong Villa, I vowed to learn a skill, one day get rid of the demons, but that day when we went into the cave to kill a pair of cat demons, the eyes of the kitten demon made me feel that it was me at that time, the eyes were full of fear, resentment, helplessness... The difference is that I survived, but it was cut down by Brother Lei Yan... Since then, I've been dreaming of the little cat demon every night, looking at me with the same eyes as I did when I was a child, and then asking me why, why... Wang Yue'er's expression was extremely low when she spoke, as if she could shed tears in an instant.

"So soon after you returned to the villa, you resigned from the errand of the general nursing home of the villa despite your father's obstruction and went out to travel around, and it was three years to go, and indeed, I can understand the feeling that my strongest belief was completely denied by 1 at once, it is indeed painful, so where have you been in the past three years, and what have you experienced?"

Wang Youlong himself didn't know how to comfort Wang Yue'er, if something happened to him, it was estimated that he didn't know what to do, so he simply wanted to change the topic to see if this girl could temporarily ease up.

Wang Yue'er sighed lightly, and didn't seem to want to dwell on this matter anymore, so she raised her head and said: "As you just said, travel, travel around, I spent three years almost walking the entire continent, in the past three years I have seen all kinds of mortals, and I have also encountered all kinds of demons... ”

"So you really didn't get any conclusions?"

Wang Youlong smiled and drank all the water in the water bag in his hand.

"Yes, confused, even more confused than three years ago, this is one of the reasons why I saw the secret note left by my father-in-law and returned to Qianlong Villa, I'm afraid this place is the only place that can make me feel at ease."

Wang Yue'er turned her head and glanced at Wang Youlong lightly, and her expression seemed to say, what do you think I went back to the villa for.

"Alright! People's hearts, demon hearts, aren't they just hearts, and there are good and bad hearts in the heart, so why bother to be entangled in cocooning and self-restraint? Let's not talk about this, let's keep going, shall we? After a while, I'm afraid that my newly learned driving skills will be rusty again! ”

Wang Youlong got up and stretched his waist, the steamed buns were full, the water was enough, and he was ready to go on the road again.

"You're right, what are they going to do?"

Wang Yue'er also stood up, pointed to the low slope behind her with a little yellow in the green, and asked.

"Oh! If you don't say that I have forgotten, it is worthy of the hidden dragon guard, and I am not tired after following it for so long

！ ”

After that, Wang Youlong turned around and bent his thumb and index finger together, put it in his mouth and blew a series of loud whistles, the whistles were long and short, and suddenly only the sound of the vegetation shaking on the low slope was heard, and then about seven or eight black shadows swished down from the low slope and knelt in front of Wang Youlong.

"Young Master !!"

Among the eight people, a man in black kneeling at the front saluted respectfully and said.

"Well, did your father ask you to protect you along the way?"

Wang Youlong didn't let them get up immediately, but just raised his hands behind his back and asked slowly.

"Back to the young master, it is the meaning of the owner!"

The man in black was honest and admitted it directly.

Wang Youlong had a smile on his face, thinking that this father was still the same, no matter how big and strong his skills were, he would spare no effort to protect himself, otherwise he would not even transfer the strongest and most mysterious Qianlong Wei of Qianlong Villa.

"Oh, you're honest, I thought you were tracking and protecting because I was the owner of the future villa!"

Wang Youlong pretended to be a little angry and said.

"This..."

The man in black lowered his head silently, not knowing what to say.

"It's nothing to do with you, go back, your mission is to protect Qianlong Villa!"

Wang Youlong turned around and ordered.

Wang Youlongde's words made the man in black really difficult, his eyes were full of surprise and surprise, and he even bowed his hand and said: "Young master, the owner of the village said that there are demons in three and a half steps, and he ordered us to escort them there!" ”

"I said no, do you mean that the strength of me and Yue'er is not as good as you?"

Wang Youlong said with a smile, but there was a hint of indisobedient majesty in this smile.

“。。。 Yes, that subordinate dares to ask the young master to take care! ”

The man in black got up and bowed, turned around and waved his hand, and disappeared into the sight of Wang Youlong and Wang Yue'er with the seven people.

"Okay, the troublemakers have sent us back, and we can hurry without any scruples!"

Wang Youlong said to Wang Yue'er with a smile,

Wang Yue'er didn't answer, but walked straight to the carriage, got into the driver's seat, and drove the carriage forward.

Because of the early departure in the morning, the two carriages traveled about thirty or forty miles one after the other, and the terrain gradually changed, the southern foot was dominated by towering mountains, and the terrain gradually flattened all the way to the north, the carriage gradually walked on the somewhat desolate and dilapidated official road from the mountain path, the surrounding hills were smaller than the mountains, looking into the distance, a large hill blocked the official road, and the carriage needed to pass slowly from the top of the hill in order to reach the next road, Wang Youlong was surprised by the strange scene in front of him, caught a glimpse of Wang Yue's carriage slowly stopping in front, so he quickly stopped the carriage and jumped out of the car to walk towards Wang Yue'er.

"What's wrong? This slope should be passable, right? Just slow down! ”

Wang Youlong looked at the overall shape of the hill and said.

"This is the three and a half steps that the leader of the Hidden Dragon Guard said, do you know the meaning of three and a half steps?"

Wang Yue'er asked.

"How do I know this, I've been in the mountain villa for more than ten years, and I've never been here,"

Wang Youlong looked at Wang Yue'er with a blank expression, he didn't know what Wang Yue'er's words Li implied, but he vaguely felt that this girl didn't seem to be just trying to introduce him to three and a half steps.

"Do you mean that the top of the three-and-a-half-step slope can only walk about three and a half paces wide?"

Wang Youlong asked with a smile.

Wang Yue'er shook her head lightly and said, "Listen, the reason why this place is called three and a half steps is because usually people who go up to the top of this slope will become food in the mouth of the demon after only walking three and a half steps away!" ”

Wang Youlong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he laughed out loud and said, "Oh, what should I be, so that's the case, what's the fear?" You and I have both cultivated to become earth immortals, and we will meet them! ”

"I don't want to waste words with you, you don't know how powerful the demon with thinking is, I'll be in the front for a while, and you will follow closely behind when you go uphill!"

After explaining the precautions, Wang Yue'er observed the situation of the three and a half steps for a long time, then put down his snack a little, got into the carriage and told Wang Youlong to follow closer, and then drove slowly up the slope, this big hill is not very big from a distance, and when I really walked up, I found that it was vast, except that the carriage was going uphill obliquely, it was no different from walking on the ordinary wide ground, and the slope was surprisingly quiet, this inexplicable quiet added a little more burden to Wang Yue'er and Wang Youlong's hearts.

Then walking up the slope, there was a heavy fog around the two carriages, and the thick fog was so thick that they could no longer see the road in front of them and the carriage behind.

"Young master! You draw your sword and tap it with your fingertips every 5 times in your mind! ”

"Oh!"

Wang Youlong pulled out the long sword and flicked it with his fingertips, although he was not as experienced as Wang Yue'er, but he still understood the principle of striking the long sword to achieve mutual communication.

Hearing the sound of percussion, Wang Yue'er also drew her sword and responded with the sound of percussion, so that in the dense fog that was close but could not see each other, the two of them were immediately much more relieved, which was a good way to prevent separation.

As time went by, gradually the inclination of the carriage became larger and larger, which also meant that the carriage was getting closer and closer to the top of the slope, and Wang Yueer, who was walking in the front, was nervous, only hoping that after these three and a half steps, the danger would be lifted, but it didn't seem to be so easy, because since the fog on the slope, she vaguely felt that something was wrong, so while striking the sword body, she also accumulated immortal power in her body, ready to deal with sudden variables at any time.

"I can't hear the percussion...

The carriage traveled some distance, Wang Youlong's sword knocking actually disappeared, Wang Yue'er echoed and shouted several times, but never got a response, and then looked around, the thick fog that spread everywhere actually gradually dispersed, and the carriage went forward, actually driving on the aisle in front of a farmhouse courtyard.

"Suffered... It's a fantasy made of demons! ”

Wang Yue'er realized that she had been in the illusion since the fog had just started, and she couldn't even tell whether Wang Youlong, who had just knocked on the sword, was real, or a part of the illusion, she began to frown, although she was in the illusion, but just like Wang Youlong said, they were both masters with earth immortal level cultivation, and they were not afraid, so they took the time to observe the surroundings carefully, it didn't matter if she was impatient, she actually found that the courtyard that the carriage was entering seemed to be a little familiar.

"This... Isn't this my home? ”

Wang Yue'er was a little excited, this is really her childhood hometown, surrounded by quaint walls that are a little peeling, the simple courtyard within the wall, the wooden horse she has played countless times in front of the courtyard, what makes her even more excited is that her parents actually appeared in her sight, just like before the demon came in as a child, her father was doing carpentry work, and her mother was sitting next to her father picking vegetables.

"Qingqing, come out and play!?"

The mother shouted into the room.

"Oh..."

After answering the call, a girl of only five or six years old ran out with a pair of pigtails and walked straight towards the wooden horse.

However, at this moment, a demonic wind blew with wild laughter, and the mother panicked, and the father immediately carried the girl into the house and hid her in the water tank, and made a silent gesture to her.
