Chapter 18 Ordering the Extermination of Immortals
At the dawn of autumn, the autumn breeze gently caressing his cheeks was already slightly cool, and the grass on both sides of the road was gradually turning green. Helian Rulie rode east on a tall horse with a tired face and walked for three hours before finding an inn.
There was a town where he could stay, but just three hours ago, he slaughtered the snake demon clan with his own hands, and he felt a pang of annoyance in his chest when he recalled the bloodthirsty scene. So he didn't hesitate to leave right away, going as far as possible.
There was only one hour before dawn, and the inn did not open to welcome guests, so Helian Rulie had to reach out and pat the door panel.
After waiting for a while, the door finally opened a crack, and a sleepy-eyed face squeezed into the crack of the door, impatiently asking what was the matter.
"Staying in the hotel" Helian Rulie explained the meaning concisely and clearly.
"Oh, guest here, please"
The sleepy middle-aged man was the shopkeeper of the shop, and he opened the door to take the reins of the horse from Helian Rulie's hand, tied the horse to the stable at the door, and then led the guests to the inner room of the inn.
Helian Rulie asked for a room and went back to his room to rest, he needed to rest and adjust his spirit after a tired night.
The furnishings of the room are very simple, a bed, a table, and nothing else, Helian Rulie took off his coat and boots and placed them neatly, made the bed and stretched out his body and lay flat on the bunk.
The surroundings were quiet, Helian Rulie's eyelids were as heavy as lead, and he remembered the bloody hands and the corpses of the snake demon all over the ground three hours ago, and his heart felt a little uncomfortable.
In fact, this seemingly murderous, cold-blooded and ruthless man has too much helplessness and hatred, if he is given more choices, he is unwilling to be covered with the blood of other creatures and bear the debt of life.
Just as Helian Rulie was about to go to see Zhou Gong, there was a sudden sound of a man in the next room, the voice was not loud, but he could also hear some meaning from the faint one.
"Brother Yao, what is the purpose of the king's pursuit order?"
"A human race, if you have to kill him, it's too extraordinary, there must be something wrong with it"
"Speaking of which, the king has always been proud of all things, and if he can enter his eyes, this person must be unusual."
"Hey, look who's coming"
"Xiaoyu, you summoned us over, could it be that the king has a new order?"
A light woman's voice sounded next door: "Receiving the king's order, order Yao Yue and the two generals of Lou Xing Pavilion to go to the 'Quanling Cave' to assassinate the rabbit fairy"
"Ah, kill immortals, you heard you right, use our strength to fight against the immortals, the prince has lifted us up," the two men grumbled in unison. It seems that this task is very uncertain.
"Do you dare to listen to the king?" warned.
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Lou Xingge asked with a lot of mouth: "Why does the king want to kill immortals? Although my clan and the immortal family had some festivals a hundred years ago, they have been at peace this year, and now killing immortals will not provoke a war between the two families."
"I heard that the snake clan was destroyed, and the snake king found my king and cried, it said that hundreds of the entire snake clan were destroyed by the rabbit fairy"
"Immortals will be so ruthless? Didn't they always insist that they would not kill innocents indiscriminately under the guise of nobility?" Yao Yue and Lou Xingge didn't quite believe it.
"You two don't have to think too much, in short, leave as soon as possible to complete the task" After finishing speaking, the woman called Xiaoyu jumped out of the window and left.
Helian Rulie turned over and got up from just now and pressed his ear against the wall, carefully obtaining the content of the other party's conversation, for fear of missing a single detail.
At the same time, he speculated that the two big demons in the demon world who had been cultivating for more than a thousand years should be the two demons in the demon world who had been cultivating for more than a thousand years, and only the demon clan with extraordinary strength could get the order of the demon king to kill the immortals. Thinking that there were two monsters living next door, Helian Rulie secretly clenched his fists, and without saying a word, he picked up his sword and went directly to the door.
There was a loud bang, and the closed door next door was kicked open.
Before the guests in the house could figure out who they were, Helian Rulie drew his sword and flicked his legs, twisted his body and waved his arms, and a scorching internal force like a flame poured straight into his right arm from the dantian, the sword in his hand and his arm were integrated, and the tip of the sword quickly condensed a strong sword qi, and two figures sat in front of him and swept over, and the power of a thousand catties gathered almost perfect sword qi.
The two in front of him were indeed great demons who had completely turned into human form, and in the demon world, only those who had cultivated for thousands of years could have this way.
Just when Helian Rulie's sword was about to cut into the throats of the two demons, Lou Xingge pulled Yao Yue's collar and moved his body slightly, and then moved his position instantly, and when the other party missed the first move, he moved to another place when he made the second move. In this way, after more than a dozen moves, the two big demons did not fight, but just dodged left and right, as if the other party's every move was seen through.
Helian Rulie observed while making a move, and he found that the two demons in front of him would definitely be a difficult scene to deal with if they made a move, but they didn't seem to plan to show their bottoms.
Dozens of rounds passed, the two sides were deadlocked, and suddenly a dull shout came from outside the door: "Malabarzi, it's not dawn yet, what's the noise, and don't let people sleep?!"
A large man stood in the doorway with his hands folded, shirtless, revealing solid muscles and thick chest hair.
Helian Rulie stopped the attack in his hand when he heard the sound, and glanced at the big man with his residual eyes. At this moment, Lou Xingge secretly took out a knife from his sleeve and raised his hand to send it out, the knife was directly inserted into the big man's head without hesitation, and the big man said "ah", and fell to the ground and died.
Helian Rulie was shocked, he didn't expect that the other party didn't plan to attack him, but chose to kill someone who had nothing to do with it.
"Oh, Butcher Zhang, I said what's wrong with you?" The innkeeper who had been open for a long time and had encountered all kinds of strange occasions shouted in horror: "Someone's coming, someone's coming, Butcher Zhang has been beaten to death"
Early in the morning, everyone in the inn had been waiting to see this big show for a long time when they heard the movement, and the shopkeeper shouted that all the guests rushed out in a swarm and went straight to the body of Butcher Zhang.
Helian Rulie was a little distracted when he saw this, and when he looked back again, "Not good!" The two demons disappeared early.
All that was left was the butcher lying on the ground in the doorway, with a knife in his head and blood still bubbling out, and in the room stood a young man who seemed to be loyal but had a weapon in his hand, and he was staring at everyone with a blue face.
Right now, a group of people who are not afraid of things are standing at the door watching the excitement, pointing at the man standing with a knife.
A middle-aged man in his forties reminded everyone: "The one in the house is afraid that he is the murderer."
"Yes, yes, yes," everyone echoed in unison.
The middle-aged man whispered for advice: "Why don't we arrest him and report to the official?"
The shopkeeper glanced at the crowd and said, "In my opinion, that person's martial arts are quite strong, so whoever of us has the highest martial arts should strike first."
When the words fell, everyone hurriedly took a step back, and the middle-aged man hid behind the crowd and stopped squeaking.
"Sure enough, they are all bad seeds!" the shopkeeper scolded in his heart.
He had a headache, this was the third body in a month, and the person who died before was buried in the backyard because of the small movement when he was killed.
Today's incident, first the door was kicked and smashed, waking everyone up, and then there was a crackling sound, which provoked Butcher Zhang to run to the door to find trouble and be killed. This person is also a prisoner of Tai Sui rushed to panic, a big living person, usually in the next town is very good, occasionally go to visit relatives, always pass by here to stay for one night, I didn't expect to be nosy and give my life.
Fortunately, the shopkeeper had an idea, deliberately shouted and provoked everyone. The first is to hope that Helian Rulie will be tied up and sent to the official by those who are really strong in martial arts and are not afraid of death, and everyone will identify the person who killed him, and it can be regarded as a wronged debtor;
So, the show begins.
The shopkeeper stood at the front of the crowd and looked at Helian Rulie, then squatted down to check the body of the butcher Zhang, who had died violently, and said, "The demons and gods are in their original form!"
Strange to say, Butcher Zhang's face suddenly grew some black hair, and his face began to swell and enlarge.
The guests who had never seen the world began to exclaim the bizarre scene in front of them, and the imaginative individual suggested that the shopkeeper was indeed a mortal Daluo immortal in the world, and the monster in front of him would indicate a catastrophe for the human race, and the immortal descended to save all beings with mercy and subdued the monster.
The shopkeeper waved his hand and denied it, he only said that he had learned some Maoshan demon hunting techniques with his grandfather, and it happened that Butcher Zhang was a pig demon, and he had never hurt people in the town next door for a long time, so he had not accepted him, and today's violent death allowed you to see the true face of the pig demon.
"Ahh
The shopkeeper saw that a group of people who had no knowledge realized that they had gained knowledge today, and he was a little amused in his heart.
"So this hero just killed a demon, he may have misunderstood that Butcher Zhang is actually a kind demon," said the shopkeeper while the iron was hot.
"All demons should be killed!" the crowd said.
"You are so righteous, it's really touching, I'll go to dig a pit in the field and bury the 'demon', today God knows that you know I know don't spread the news, lest the demon clan learn the news and indiscriminately seek revenge and accidentally hurt your lives, what do you think?"
Everyone gathered in person and voted in favor.
After everyone dispersed, Helian Rulie, who had been standing on the side watching the play, walked up to the shopkeeper and said: "In the next Helian Rulie, thank you to the shopkeeper for relieving the siege, it's just ...... The pig demon actually killed his own kind as a butcher, and the story was a little unreasonable."
"Hero, don't laugh at me, I was also in a hurry to make it up, fortunately, those people have never seen the world, and they actually believe it" The shopkeeper kicked the corpse with his foot and continued: "I don't know how many pounds and taels I have, I actually disturbed the hero to get rid of the demon, and he was unlucky to be killed by the demon."
"You know those two are demons?"
"That's right, I'll see where they come from when they enter the door."
"Why did you let them stay if you knew that?"
"Open the door to do business, how can there be any reason not to receive, and there are many customers coming and going, the demon is not strange"
Helian Rulie suddenly asked: "The shopkeeper can turn humans into demons, it is definitely not the art of Maoshan, but like the spell of the non-human race, there is no demon breath on the body, is it a fairy family?"
"What, if I were an immortal and open an inn so hard, I would have turned into a mountain of gold and enjoyed it" The shopkeeper quickly opened the topic and said: "Hero, although the person was not killed by you, but it has nothing to do with you, so please ask the hero and me to dig a pit and bury the person, and it's okay to end the matter."
Helian Rulie saw that the other party didn't want to tell the truth, so he didn't ask more, as long as he wasn't a demon, he didn't have to ask.
After ending the corpse, Helian Rulie didn't have the heart to rest anymore, the snake clan was destroyed by him, no matter how he said it, he couldn't let irrelevant people bear the charge, he carefully recalled the key to the dialogue between the three demons - the rabbit fairy. If you find the Rabbit Fairy, you can find Lou Xingge and Yao Yue.
He found the shopkeeper and asked where the "Lingquan Cave" was, and the shopkeeper looked surprised, but he knew it in his heart, but he didn't want to talk about it.
Helian Rulie saw the difference and hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Human life is at stake, please tell the shopkeeper truthfully"
The shopkeeper still didn't want to say, lied that he was going to greet the guests, turned around and left.
