She Yuan walked into the house, this house was like this when he was young, and now he is also seventy or eighty years old, and it is still the same here. Dozens of desk calendars hung on the walls have been replaced, and each book must be clearly marked with festivals and solar terms, and the New Year will be celebrated in another month.

A sword hangs on the wall on the right. It was stolen from a treasure trove of a demon clan when he was in the industry for five years, and it was given to Liu Xiangru as a birthday gift, and he still remembered that day, but Liu Xiangru asked him very seriously if he had killed the demon clan? She Yuan said no, but Liu Xiangru punished him for standing outside all night, because he shouldn't just steal, the demon clan must be killed.

I have lived under the influence of the old man in front of me all my life, and until today, I have become an old man, known as the oldest five-star demon hunter.

In the house, he closed the door, it was very dark, because the wires were broken because of the attack of the demon clan. So the lights don't come on. Only the torches and lanterns hanging outside can still be illuminated.

"Master, a demon clan has come in from outside."

He said after bending down with his fists in his fists, looking very respectful, in fact, he has always been a respectful person. Among Liu Xiangru's many disciples, he is the one who knows the most etiquette.

"I hear you."

Liu Xiangru nodded and replied.

After that, there was a long silence between the two people, Liu Xiangru did not speak, and She Yuan, who was supposed to say something, was also silent. After a while, Liu Xiangru asked, "She Yuan, how long have you been with me?" "Bai Du Yi performed a new chapter in the Song Pavilion

"It's been 60 years, and I'll be 80 years old after the New Year, master."

He replied in a low voice. The hair hung down and scattered in front of his eyes, and he still remembered that when he saluted Liu Xiangru for the first time, it was still black hair that was scattered, and now it has all turned into silver threads.

"I remember that you were awarded a five-star demon hunter when you were 50 years old, so you have been a five-star demon hunter for thirty years. Ever wanted to become a king? ”

Liu Xiangru asked again.

She Yuan's body trembled slightly, and there was a surprised expression on his face facing the ground, but he hurriedly said: "The disciple never thought that one day he could become the Demon Hunting Heavenly King, the disciple knows that he does not have this talent, and he is only willing to always be by your side and assist you." ”

Liu Xiangru looked at She Yuan, who was bowing his head in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Find a chair to sit on." ”

In the past long years, Liu Xiangru has never spoken to him in such a tone, not like a master and apprentice but more like a friend. She Yuan sat on the wooden chair on the side, and Liu Xiangru said with a smile: "Actually, I should have abdicated a long time ago, and my health is getting worse year by year. In fact, I don't need to say that I know that my life is short. But I have not chosen the person who will succeed me for a long time, and I know that everyone in the village alliance thinks that I should pass on the throne to you, in fact, I should have made you the new king decades ago. The disciples of Wang Da Hammer are not outstanding, Xun Che, the best disciple of the Phantom Heaven King, has become a demon, and the old brother of the Black Sect never accepts apprentices. Therefore, the new king must come from us, and you are the one with the highest voice. ”

She Yuan kept his head down, but he didn't show half of his joy, and this abnormal expression all fell in Liu Xiangru's eyes.

"But do you know why I haven't passed the seat to you?"

He asked.

She Yuan shook his head and heard Liu Xiangru say, "Because, you are not suitable for this heavy responsibility......

When he heard this, She Yuan closed his eyes. It seemed that there was a feeling of finally hearing this sentence, the corners of his mouth pulled slightly, and he finally asked: "Master, why?" ”

"I still remember that you stole a sword from the demon treasury of the demon king of northern Shaanxi, and brought it back to me, this sword I have been hanging, it is a good object, that day is my birthday, and it is all the heroes who came to participate in the banquet, and the praise of everyone makes you complacent, and in the end I let you stand guard outside all night, and I didn't even let you drink a glass of wine. Do you know why? ”

Liu Xiangru asked.

"Because you blame me for not killing the demon king, blame me for being too merciful to the demon clan."

She Yuan lowered his head and said.

"Wrong!" Ringing in his ears like thunder, She Yuan looked up at Liu Xiangru in surprise.

"I punished you not because you didn't kill the demon king, but because you stole it! This is the worst side of your character, and why I can't pass on the throne to you. The Four Heavenly Kings, even if they betrayed our alliance's Wang Da Hammer, even if there are good and evil, but as a Heavenly King, he is a good man with iron bones! Although Wang Da Hammer has tried his best, he is fighting for hegemony, and you steal it just for such a sword. As a demon hunter, he went to steal the treasure of the demon clan, and as a manly man, he actually let go of his body for a sword. How can you take on such a big responsibility! I hang my sword over the wall of my room, and I hope you will learn from it every day, but now you still do not understand. How can a thief become a demon hunter! ”

She Yuan looked at the sword, if he really went to the door that day to call for the sword and ask for the sword, it was estimated that he was not the opponent of the demon king. That's why he came up with this strategy to sneak into the demon vault and steal the sword, he never thought that this had anything to do with his character, and he didn't expect that just because of this incident, he would ruin his chance to become the demon hunting king.

"No, no! It's your excuse! ”

She Yuan suddenly shouted as if he were crazy.

"You just wanted to pass on your position to your son, and after your son died, you have been haunted by it. Until you took Amon as a disciple, and Amon's personality was so similar to your son back then, you must have passed on the throne of the Heavenly King to him for this reason. I have served in front of you for many years, and with my ability, I did not agree to the king of heaven who came to me with a big hammer and said that I would be his hand. I'm just looking forward to getting your approval one day, but now I'm gray-haired, and if I don't break through, I'll die, but you still don't recognize me! It seems that I have really lived in vain for decades, haha......"

He burst out laughing, and could faintly see the Demon Hunting Crossbow hidden at his waist.

"That's why you introduced the demon clan to the village, right?"

Liu Xiangru asked in a cold voice.

She Yuan suppressed his smile and said with a serious and solemn expression: "I always have to plan for myself." ”

After speaking, he took out the demon hunting crossbow hidden behind his back and aimed it at Liu Xiangru, but at the same time, Liu Xiangru also took out the demon hunting gun on the kang and aimed it at She Yuan, this pair of masters and apprentices who have been with each other for decades, at this moment, they actually slashed at each other, and fate seemed to play a big joke among them.

In the snow, the tracking finally came to fruition, and we found an old black coat in the snow with some blood stains on it, which looked like it had been left behind due to inconvenience from injury.

"It's human blood."

The cat boy sniffed it and said.

"But judging from the degree of blood freezing, it should not be far from here, or the clothes will be covered by snow in a few moments."

"They have a few children, and it is impossible for them to run a long distance, even if they crash a living person into a spell bag, they still need to rest and breathe. If you look around, you may find a house in a crowded area. ”

I shouted back.

"There's black smoke up ahead."

The sharp-eyed demon hunter pointed to the sky in front of him.

"Apparently the other party noticed this, so when they cooked, they lived next to the trees, and the black smoke drifted up the sky along the trees, although it was well disguised, but it didn't have much effect on us. Take a look first, and you should find something. ”

The five-star demon hunter behind shouted loudly, and everyone walked in the direction of the black smoke, slowed down their pace, and gradually got closer and found that it was indeed a private house, which should be the house where the ranger in the old forest or the hunter lived when he was hunting, the kind that had been abandoned for a while, but now it happened to be used.

There were two people at the door, there was no fire in the house, but it was supposed to be inhabited, and there were some spiritual runes pasted on the trees around it, which seemed to be for warning.

"Finally found it, everyone get ready."

The demon hunter behind him whispered.

The cat boy and I watched for a while, and after thinking about it, I said, "Wait a minute, I'll explore the truth first." ”
