Chapter 65: The Past
Jiao Demon? Nie Yan frowned, how could he forget it.
The difficulty of that battle was the hardest battle since he became a demon hunter.
Although the Jiao Demon is not a big demon, due to the bloodline, the ability is almost the same as the big demon, and the battle is basically in the water.
What's more, at that time, his ability was not as good as now, and he hadn't experienced the polishing of several battles.
Now that the name of the twins is known, the battle of the Jiao Demon can be said to be the foundation.
When the young man mentioned this, Nie Yan remembered all the things back then, and couldn't help asking: "Naturally, I haven't forgotten this matter, but so what?" ”
When the young man heard that Nie Yan had not forgotten him, he couldn't help but smile, his eyes showed a kind of kindness and excitement, and after taking a deep breath, he calmed down his feelings before he said: "The Jiao Demon was a disaster back then, and it harmed many villages, devouring boys and girls. Brother Nie, did you know that I am also a person in the village along the Yellow River. ”
"Huh?" Nie Yan raised his eyebrows, he never thought of such an answer.
However, a look of loss and self-deprecation appeared on the young man's face, and he continued: "Because of the special circumstances in my family, I am the only one. I didn't have my parents when I was five years old, and I grew up with my aunt and uncle for several years, and they treated me well. My uncle and aunt have a pair of children who are my younger siblings. ”
Speaking of this, the young man's voice gradually deepened, but Nie Yan's face showed shock.
But Nie Yan didn't speak, he could probably guess what a tragic thing would happen next.
But the young man seemed to fall into a memory, and he didn't care about Nie Yan's silence, but just said to himself: "I stayed at my uncle's house until I was nine years old, and I met my mentor, a demon hunter, who found out that I was probably a little talented, and took me away. I left my hometown that year and didn't go back for five years until there was a calamity in that area. ”
"Master and I rushed back to my hometown. It is reasonable, my uncle and parents have the grace of nurturing me, I can't abandon it, my master doesn't have much ability as a demon hunter, and he can't compare to Brother Nie, you are amazing, but he is a good person, he agrees with my idea, and regardless of the danger of the demon, he accompanied me all the way back. ”
"On the way, I was worried about the safety of my uncle's family, after all, didn't the family's livelihood point to the river? Especially when I heard about the situation where the Jiao Demon also devoured boys and girls, I was even more "
"It's a strange thing in this world, sometimes if you don't worry about anything, you often don't have anything. And the more you worry about something, the more something will happen! Brother Nie, you have probably guessed that my younger brothers and sisters were sacrificed as virgins and girls to worship the Jiao Demon, they were still so young, and when I left, they were only four years old, a very cute pair of children. ”
Speaking of this, the young man's voice was a little choked, and due to his excitement, a strange red glow appeared in his eyes, and the muscles of his whole body seemed to swell uncontrollably.
Nie Yan glanced at the young man in surprise, and almost subconsciously grasped the hilt of the iron sword in his arms.
But in the end, Nie Yan put the iron sword aside, but walked over, squatted next to the young man, grabbed the half of the roast rabbit in his hand, and ate it in a big gulp.
The skin is crispy, but the meat inside is delicate, and with a strange sweetness, but not greasy, and there is a wine aroma that brings out all the fragrance, which is indeed a delicacy in the world.
In one bite, Nie Yan chewed the meat and muttered, "It's delicious." ”
The young man was extremely moved, as if he didn't expect Nie Yan to be like this, his eyes flashed with a strange red glow, and he couldn't help wiping a handful of tears.
Nie Yan sucked his fingers, but continued to chew the meat, and said to the young man, "You go on." ”
"Hmm." The young man was excited, wiped away his tears, and continued: "At that time, it was the worst time, my aunt was crazy, and my uncle seemed to be twenty years old all at once. Who wants to sacrifice their children? They were all forced by the people in the village! However, it is not possible to blame, because this sacrifice is related to the livelihood of the whole village. If it weren't for my uncle and aunt who took pity on me and treated me as if I were my own, I couldn't say that if I didn't starve to death, I would have become a very miserable street child, how could I tolerate it? ”
"So, I want to take revenge, it's very impulsive, I have to take revenge, and no one can stop that! Master's persuasion was useless," and the young man choked up again and continued: "At that time, I was carried away by hatred, and I didn't understand what it meant to be self-sufficient. Brother Nie, you know, right? How many ordinary people did that Jiao demon kill? You know, how many demon hunters it killed? ”
Nie Yan held the roast rabbit in his hand and was silent.
Obviously, a passage from this young man stirred his mind.
Demon scourge, demon scourge! Isn't he also a man who has been plagued by evil spirits? He was also burdened with a period of hatred.
Looking at the helpless and helpless look of the young man talking about the past, Nie Yan remembered his powerlessness now.
Suddenly, a feeling of sympathy swelled in my heart.
The perspective of young people is also a little intimate.
He is not afraid that this young man will lie, as a demon hunter, all kinds of feelings are much sharper than ordinary people, unless a person does not show his feelings and is excited.
If so, a demon hunter can feel at least one of them.
Unless, this young man is too rebellious, and his acting skills are so realistic that even the six senses of a demon hunter can be deceived in the past.
This subtle change in mentality, the young man naturally did not notice, he had already begun to completely fall into the memory, and became sad: "My master is one of the demon hunters who was killed by the Jiao demon, this matter, Brother Nie should have the heart, go to the demon hunter organization in the state capital to investigate, and it is estimated that he can also know about that past." Two demon hunters and apprentices who were not self-sufficient tried in vain to kill the Jiao Demon, but within a moment, the master died, and the apprentice was lifted out of the water by the master with the last of his strength, and he escaped with his life. It's our master and apprentice. ”
As he spoke, the young man's face revealed a trace of desolation, regret, and suddenly took out a bottle of wine from the burden behind him, and poured himself a sip violently.
"If I had listened to Master's persuasion, Master would still be alive today, right?"
Nie Yan snatched the young man's wine, took a sip of his own, looked at the young man and said lightly: "When you are so excited, don't drink, can you restrain that beastly nature?" ”
The young man raised his head in surprise and looked at Nie Yan: "You see it?" ”
Nie Yan smiled, he didn't care too much, and said in a low voice: "The obvious can't be more obvious, don't you believe you can take a basin of water yourself and take a look?" ”
The young man looked at Nie Yan blankly, not knowing what to say, and after being silent for a long time, he said, "Why don't you stay away from me immediately?" Have you ever looked down on me? ”
"No one can choose their parents. Let's continue your story? Nie Yan just said lightly.
The young man smiled miserably, and without mentioning what had just happened, he continued: "What else is there to say? The master is dead, his relatives are crazy and old, and he has studied art for so many years, and in the end, he is still a half-baked demon hunter. During that time, if it wasn't for taking care of my uncle and aunt, I thought that even if I was burdened with great karma, I would be liberated from self-ending. ”
"It's just a mess. Whenever a demon hunter comes to kill the Jiao, I will have a little spirit in my heart. As a result, all of them failed. ”
"It wasn't until later, Brother Nie, that you appeared. At that time, I didn't hold out any hope, because you looked like you were a year or two older than me at most, so how could you kill the dragon demon with such a young appearance? ”
Nie Yan smiled slightly, remembering that back then, it was indeed the case.
In the villages along the Yellow River, no one believed that they were here to kill the Jiao Demon, and they didn't even want to show him the way, for fear of getting into trouble.
"However, I really didn't expect that Brother Nie, you really did it! Do you remember the day when you came out of the water and a boat happened to pass by and spread the word about it? Actually, I'm in that boat. ”
"You?" Nie Yan suddenly sighed at the magic of fate, took a bite of rabbit meat, drank a sip of spirits, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Yes, me! Actually, from that time on, I was going to follow you. After the young man finished talking about the past, his feelings calmed down a lot.
"Why?" Nie Yan asked softly.
"First, you killed the Jiao Demon to help me avenge my great revenge, I have nothing to repay, I just want to follow it for the rest of my life. Second, my master once said that I was under him, and I was also a condescending talent. But this world may not tolerate me, and it is difficult for me to find someone to live and entrust. But my master is a little bit like divination, and once opened a hexagram for me. The young man said sincerely.
"Huh?" Nie Yan raised his eyebrows, and the rabbit in his hand had already gnawed clean.
Seeing this, the young man simply moved the other half of the rabbit and a pot of fish soup in front of Nie Yan.
Nie Yan was not polite, took out the dry food from the package, and said to the young man: "You have also been busy for a long time, so let's eat the dry food together." In this wilderness, you can't be hungry, you can't go hungry and have no strength, don't talk about hunting demons, maybe an ordinary fierce beast can die. ”
The young man raised his head and looked at Nie Yan with emotion, in fact, he knew that this was a kind of recognition.
But he didn't make a move, but continued: "Master's hexagram shows that I must follow a powerful person all my life, and that person must be someone I believe in order to bring about a turning point in my fate. Brother Nie, I can't think of anyone else except you! It's a pity that you left in a hurry back then, and I was like thousands of miles away from you, and there was no way to know you and find you. ”
"It wasn't until the kid had another situation that he was excited to learn about your whereabouts, but he didn't want to"
