Chapter 111: The undercurrent is turbulent
We hurried to get back, because the turbulent undercurrents hidden under the world had left us with no time to relax. γReading.comγ
Ordinary people are still living an ordinary life, and it's good to be so ordinary, at least such people are an afterthought of everything that happens in the world, and they can't feel that their lives have changed? Sometimes, I really feel like it's a blessing not to know too much.
The weather is always dark in winter, and it feels like the whole land is covered in a layer of darkness.
We were already approaching the Qinling Mountains, and at this time we settled on the outskirts of a small town, and after a simple meal, I sat on the roof of the car, nibbled on a slightly cold cake, drank a sip of hot water, and frowned.
When troubled times come, there is no silence, just like when the war has not started, everyone thinks that due to various situations, the war may not happen, and no one will expect that the peace of the previous moment will be completely destroyed one day because of a small fuse, and then the war will break out.
Only a very small number of people can feel the subtlety of it, and this time the troubled times are unfortunate, and I am one of the very few people.
The sky is gloomy, the clouds are flowing, it has been this weather for two consecutive days, ordinary people just feel that the wind and rain are coming, but as a demon hunter, I really feel the slightest demonic energy flowing in this town.
The demons of this era are more terrifying than the demon clan in the past, they have unique conditions to blend into the world, unlike the demon clan in the past, only the demon who has transformed can blend into the human society.
Along the way, no matter which city or village is shrouded in such a demonic aura, the situation of this town is not special.
What do these demons on the ground want to do? Such a situation has already been rolled out! It makes my heart pound just by thinking about it, like a demon has planted a bomb in countless places, and as long as it is detonated, it is impossible to imagine this disaster.
It's just that human beings are not defenseless, and these demons still have some scruples, so they don't dare to detonate all this easily. However, how many scruples there are, God knows! From all the things I've heard, the demons have gotten more crazy for reasons I don't know yet.
I quickly finished the remaining bread in my hand, jumped off the roof of the car, and then saw the worried face of our driver, Lao Xu, and when he saw me coming down, he came over.
"Little Brother Ye, when will this little brother come back? I'm in a hurry. With a flattering smile, Lao Zheng asked me cautiously, and took out a cigarette and handed it to me.
I smiled at him kindly, he is a cautious person, working under the boss, two days of getting along, more or less familiar with each other, knowing that he is a low-level cultivator who wants to take the path of cultivation, but because of his limited talent, he is not as happy in the circle of cultivators, in short, he can't participate in the turbulent big things, but he lives in this circle, and he can't live the life of an ordinary person.
Later, he was taken in by Boss Yu, and under the hands of this capable person, life was stable.
Perhaps it was because of the long period of stability that he had lost the fighting spirit that a cultivator should have, and he became cautious, and all the plants and trees rose up.
Along the way, the suppressed demonic aura was very obvious to the demon hunters, and even a low-level cultivator like Lao Xu felt a little unusual, so he just wanted to hurry up and send us to Wangxian Village to complete this matter quickly.
As for Emperor Tong, he has not settled down on this way, he is a radical among demon hunters, feeling the demonic spirit of this way, he has wanted to explore deeply several times, looking for the demons hidden in the world, but I stopped him. Because in terms of scale, the number of these hidden demons is not small, and Emperor Tong and I may be able to clear them, but we can't afford to delay in time.
This kind of thing is no longer a matter of individual heroism, but something that can only be done by a group, and demon hunters need manpower.
Thinking of this, I am a little worried, the decline of demon hunters, so that the number of demon hunters is seriously insufficient, and I am thinking of a solution in my heart.
Looking at my face, Lao Xu became worried, looked at me and said, "Little Brother Ye, there shouldn't be anything serious, right?" β
I took a puff of cigarette, patted Lao Xu's shoulder with a smile, and said, "It's not too big, I think Emperor Tong will be back soon." Nowadays, there are some changes in this world, but in any year this world is in a kind of danger, because no one knows what kind of small thing will make this world chaotic. So, it's hard to be confused, just do what is in front of you, at least I don't think it will target you or anything. β
My words more or less comforted Lao Xu, he smiled self-deprecatingly, and said to me: "Brother Ye, don't laugh at me." I am old, and my cultivation in this life is doomed to fail, and after I have settled down, I am more and more nostalgic for stability, and I miss my wife and children. We always need people like you and Tong Xiaoge to protect us, and we are looking forward to you. β
I nodded to Lao Xu and didn't speak again, it was this little by little dependence that finally formed a responsibility that I couldn't shirk and was willing to take the initiative to shoulder.
Lao Xu got into the car, I opened the car door and looked at Xin Yi in the car, still asleep peacefully, I took out the pill that Mr. Su prepared for me and swallowed one, and took out the hot liquid food, and fed Xin Yi one bite at a time. She is sleeping now, and her body still needs nutrition, these are the words that Mr. Su left to Boss Yu, and Boss Yu relayed it to me.
For this reason, Mr. Su also specially left a health prescription for sleeping people for me, at least so that Xin Yi's body will not degenerate too much while he is sleeping.
In fact, taking care of her is like taking care of a sleeping vegetative person, which requires more stability, and I am a big man, and there are many inconveniences to take care of, and I am more and more able to understand that in the world, as a man, I want to give my wife and children a stable psychology.
The conditions on the road are limited, so she can only feed Xin Yi some liquid food on time, but fortunately, she still has the instinct to swallow, which is better than a vegetative person.
After finishing it carefully, he helped Xin Yi wipe the corners of his mouth, and the Tong Emperor had not come back yet.
I stood outside the car and waited for Emperor Tong, sighing, Emperor Tong was stopped by me all the way, this time he wanted to make a move, but I had no reason to stop. We walked on the national highway for a while, and on the way, Emperor Tong found a demon on the road, walking with a woman.
From the perspective of ordinary people, this is an extremely normal scene, and the two people walking are like a pair of lovers.
However, Emperor Tong and I clearly felt that this woman's eyes were wrong, and she was already in a state of being controlled by demons. Emperor Tong's radical character, seeing this scene, there must be no reason not to make a move, from another angle, if Emperor Tong is not there, I will not hesitate to make a move.
It's just a demon, why did Emperor Tong delay for so long?
Thinking of this, I was a little anxious, lit a cigarette again, looked at the time, if Emperor Tong didn't come back within ten minutes, I would go and investigate it myself. But I'm worried about Xin Yi's safety, and Lao Xu is also a cultivator who can't help anything, and I can't bear to leave him, so the exploration is also limited, thinking of this, I frowned slightly.
Fortunately, after a few more minutes, the Tong Emperor returned, and I saw him coming from the path from a distance.
Because we don't want to do much, the place where we park is relatively remote, and it can be said that there is no one around, so Emperor Tong is so 'arrogant' that he is not afraid of giving birth to something wrong.
With a 'bang', Emperor Tong threw a person in front of me, with some blood stains on his body, which is why I said he was 'arrogant'. I didn't speak, but squatted down and flipped the person, to be exact, it was already a corpse, but he should have had a fierce fight with the Tong Emperor before he died, so he was no longer in the form of a normal person, but had some demon characteristics on his body.
It's not a monster that's too powerful.,It's just a very ordinary wolf demon.γ
"Why did such a monster delay for so long?" I stood up and asked Emperor Tong, I didn't understand why Emperor Tong brought this person back, at least I didn't find anything unusual.
Emperor Tong took a towel from the car and began to wipe the blood on his hands, but his face was not good-looking.
Lao Xu is a very good person, so he hurriedly got out of the car, brought tools, and asked Emperor Tong if he wanted to bury the corpse. Emperor Tong nodded, but took a document from the corpse and threw it to me, and then said, "That's why I brought him back, let you see for yourself, how serious is this situation?" β
I flipped through the document that Emperor Tong gave me, it was an ordinary work permit, and the profession turned out to be a teacher, I frowned.
I know what this means, it means that demons have penetrated deep into the world, and even engage in some professions that are difficult for people to detect, and they are also professions that make the world more insecure.
My heart was heavy, but it wasn't too shocking, my life changed because of a cat demon, and his profession was also shocking, he was the director of a hospital. However, this kind of thing should not be thought about, and thinking about it will make people feel hopeless and even fearful.
"What else did you find?" I burned my documents with a lighter, and I felt more and more that we needed more and more strength, and even had to unite the relevant departments.
"It's not an accidental awakening, just like when you found Director Mao. But the demons began to act.,From the beginning, they retained a part of the awakened demons in their original location.,Quietly hidden.,At this time,,These demons have become the guides.,With the right identity, more demons began to spread out to the world.γ "What Emperor Tong said was very simple and very clear.
"So?" I snuffed out the cigarette butt in my hand.
"That's why I've been delayed for so long. I destroyed a demon's den, and guess what I found? The Tong Emperor threw down the bloody towel in his hand and put it on the face of the demon's corpse.
Dividing line
Talk to everyone, it's like now I have to go out at any time, for example, I'm back today, and I guess I won't have to go out again in less than half a month. This is very bad for writing, even though I was lazy before, and the updates were never as irregular as they are now. Therefore, we still need everyone's tolerance, and Sansan apologizes to everyone again. Moreover, now I have a lot of work, but you don't have to persuade me to put down the update of the mountains and seas to be busy, because I can't be busy, and I can't keep busy. My idea is not to let everyone wait too long, I squeeze out time more, the mountains and seas will always be finished, there is no need to leave too long in the pit for everyone to wait, and there will always be updates in a few days of slowness. It's just that when I go out, I basically can't update, sometimes the workload is large, and I haven't changed it after 12 o'clock in the evening, so don't wait, I can make it up in time, and if I can't make it up, I'll take the time to change it someday. I'm sorry again, but that's all I can do with the updates now, but when it's safe, I'll still keep it two times a day.
In addition, no matter how busy Sansan is, the bottom line is to ensure the quality of the book, so that the book is not interrupted for too long and goes to the end smoothly. The author has a tired period of writing, and even many very popular books, and in the later stage, the author's update is from time to time. I can understand this situation, only by writing a book can I know the author's exhaustion and the difficulty of closing it later
