What exactly is going to Mingyangmen, what should I do?

Nie Yan didn't have much of a concept in his heart, but this feeling was as strong as fate called, making him feel that this line of work was a must.

It's just that you have to wait until next year, right?

Nie Yan secretly thought about what he had to do in his heart, and he always had to go back to the Nie family's mansion during the Spring Festival.

Therefore, there was still a period of time apart, and this matter was put in Nie Yan's heart for the time being, and he didn't mention it too much.

And the benefits that Liu Hesheng got in Mingyangmen were obviously not only the tattoo formation on his chest.

Afterwards, Liu Hesheng also took the initiative to mention to Nie Yan that the simple demon hunting array was also from the formation of Mingyangmen.

This undoubtedly made Nie Yan more interested in Mingyangmen, and because of the help of the Demon Hunting Array, Nie Yan and Liu Hesheng were in this barren mountain, just like the 'donkey friends' of later generations who had a reliable compass in the deep mountains, at least they would not lose their way.

The mountains of this vein spread far away, almost along the river, like a creeping dragon.

After the strange heat of that day had passed, the footsteps of winter were near.

Another half a month passed, and Nie Yan and Liu Hesheng ushered in the first snow of the year, sprinkled with water, covering the lush mountains and forests that were still yesterday in just one night.

And counting the distance, they have also completely penetrated into the barren mountains and come to a truly uninhabited place.

On this day, Liu He poked his hands when he was born.

He has always been physically strong, and the heat and cold of the weather have not affected him much, so when he went deep into this barren mountain, he only brought two single clothes.

In any case, he didn't expect that it would be so cold after the snow this night, so cold that he felt his hands and feet stiff when he set up the formation, so he could only keep rubbing his hands, hoping that the blood and qi would flow soon, and it would be warm.

Nie Yan didn't pay much attention to Liu Hesheng, as usual, he practiced a set of swordsmanship in the morning, without the strength that came out of nowhere, even if he had talent, he had to work hard, Nie Yan never relaxed for a day.

As for Liu Hesheng, as a demon hunter, it is common for him to face such bad weather, which can be regarded as an experience.

As Nie Yan expected, Liu Hesheng quickly adapted to the weather and did not mumble any more.

Nie Yan was in the snow, practicing a set of swordsmanship, until he was sweating profusely, and his whole body was steaming hot.

Thinking about it, when his breath stabilized, he went on the road after breakfast, but he heard Liu Hesheng shouting.

Is there a situation? Nie Yan didn't care about wiping the sweat on his forehead, so he ran over with Liu Hesheng, as soon as Liu Hesheng saw Nie Yan, he waved his hand excitedly, Nie Yan walked over with a calm expression, but when he saw the formation laid by Liu Hesheng, he was stunned.

Ordinary people can't see the clues of this kind of formation.

Only a cultivator who can sense the breath can spot the difference, so that he can follow the qi machine to find the direction to go.

During these days, the wisp of demonic energy in the formation is getting stronger and stronger, but it is also disordered, and the reason for analyzing it is very simple, but it is because there is more than one monster in this barren mountain, and as they go deeper, they naturally even sense the opportunity of other monsters.

It's just that the qi of the big demon is always stronger than that of other monsters, so it can be regarded as a clear road ahead.

But today, perhaps it is close to the key place, under the induction, in this formation, there is no other demon breath, but the entire formation is full of a certain demon qi, pointing to the southwest.

"Brother Nie, do you feel it?" Liu Hesheng showed a big smile, a mouthful of big white teeth was more dazzling than the snow, but the excitement was also real: "We're about to find it." ”

Nie Yan glanced at the secluded distance and nodded, but said solemnly to Liu Hesheng: "Yes, it is not necessarily a good thing to find it." Because, this time we are facing a special big demon. Are you prepared to risk your life? ”

"If it's with other people, I can't help but play the drums in my heart. If you are with Brother Nie, what if you risk your life? Liu Hesheng said boldly, and then began to pack up the things in the array.

Nie Yan smiled lightly, maybe this Liu Hesheng had never seen the power of a big demon, and that demon was the most powerful monster he had ever seen in his life.

Anyway, I have seen it with myself, and I just hope that the situation will not be too difficult at that time, and I can try to save his life when fighting.

And Liu Hesheng hummed a little tune, not only did he not feel afraid, but after he had a backer, he didn't know that he had been turned into a 'drag' in Nie Yan's heart and had to be distracted to protect.

No further ado.

After making a discovery on the day of snowfall, Nie Yan and Liu Hesheng went all out in the southwest direction.

But along the way, it gradually became weird as they moved forward, for example, the barren mountains before were all mountains, forests, rivers, cliffs and other terrain, but here, they gradually became flat, and occasionally there were valleys, which were also extremely flat, at first glance, it was a very suitable environment for human habitation, and the mountains and forests were not dense.

Such strange thoughts often appeared in Liu Hesheng's mind, and as he moved forward, he really found some traces of human activities.

For example, the road that clearly resembles an abandoned official road is submerged in barren grass, and occasionally there are one or two stone monuments with a strong sense of age, or traces of the foundations of buildings.

This made Liu Hesheng suspicious.

Walking again, there are traces of human villages, but I don't know how many years have passed, and only a broken wall is left that is the most intact.

There are even traces of farmland development in some barren grasslands, but they are hidden in the mountains and forests, and they cannot be found at all unless they are carefully explored.

One qiē and one qiē all show that this was once a place where human beings lived, at least there were villages here.

"But that's not right, the villages are widely distributed, and it's not surprising that there are villages next to the barren mountains and mountains. How to explain the traces of this official road? The more he walked, the more frightened he became, and Liu Hesheng couldn't help but start talking to himself along the way.

In fact, if these things were put in normal times, Liu Hesheng would not be so surprised.

There are a lot of wars in the history of China, the first few decades were an era of chaos, and now in the Great Song Dynasty, the world can have a peaceful trend, and the towns and villages that disappeared because of the war are unknown.

In addition, natural disasters can often engulf many human settlements in an instant, and such traces are not uncommon.

As the saying goes, the vicissitudes of life, even in the barren mountains, are normal.

The reason that frightened Liu Hesheng was only the most important point, it was nothing more than why these traces appeared on the way they were going to kill the so-called big demon?

Compared with Liu Hesheng's doubts, Nie Yan was much calmer, so indifferent that it seemed that such traces would appear here, which was expected.

And so he walked for three more days.

Until he discovered a dilapidated ancient town, Liu Hesheng couldn't hold back any longer, stopped Nie Yan at once, and asked: "Brother Nie, don't torture me anymore, sue me, what a difficult guy we have to deal with?" ”

Nie Yan didn't hesitate to take out a parchment scroll that looked like some years from the cloth bag he was carrying, handed it to Liu Hesheng, and whispered, "Look for yourself." ”

Liu Hesheng couldn't wait to unfold it, but this was a map of a previous dynasty.

Liu Hesheng glanced at Nie Yan in shock, but Nie Yan lazily leaned under a big tree on the side, unscrewed the water and took a sip, estimating in his heart what kind of means this big demon would be, and he would be a little sure of this battle.

Liu Hesheng over there was already exclaimed.

As a demon hunter, it was originally a very basic thing to be able to read the map, Liu Hesheng took the map, and quickly saw that this should be an important town in the previous dynasty, and not far away was a city that was not small.

And their location that day was not the barren mountain where they and Brother Nie walked today?

"This" Liu Hesheng's throat was like a stone blocked, and he couldn't speak.

Nie Yan stepped forward lightly, took away the map in Liu Hesheng's hand, and said lightly: "This map was also obtained by me with great effort, and I originally hoped to find the demon traces, so I relied on this map." I don't want to, I have you to follow, but it also saves a lot of effort. After all, the vicissitudes of life, although the map is there, who knows what changes will occur in this area. ”

There was a faint sense of nostalgia for the vicissitudes of time in Nie Yan's tone.

But Liu Hesheng didn't have such a mood at all, and when he connected all kinds of clues, he remembered a legend.

A very tragic legend that only circulates among demon hunters, and it has a bit of weirdness.

It is said that a certain area of the previous dynasty was destroyed overnight because of a demon disaster, and the demon who was in trouble and his cunning unfolded a secret technique and escaped.

It has become an unsolved case in the demon hunter circle!

Later, perhaps because of the wrath of God, this area near the river was flooded by the rising tide on the second day and night of the unsolved case, which gave the imperial court an excuse.

Under the different opinions, even the imperial court believed that more than a dozen villages in one city and one town in this area were destroyed because of natural disasters.

The idea of evil calamity is nonsense.

Because there is not much evidence to prove it, the few survivors are also lost.

It's just a coincidence that one of the survivors is a well-known painter who escaped and never spoke half a word to anyone before he died.

But before he died, he left a terrifying painting, telling future generations that this area was destroyed because of demons.

Later, the painting began to spread to the circle of demon hunters, at least allowing the demon hunters to confirm what kind of monster it was that day.

But this is only a painting after all, and no one can take it as the most conclusive evidence.

Therefore, this matter has become a legend after all, and among the demon hunters, it can only be regarded as a legend!
