Chapter 1: The Demon Star Enters Qilu
In the second year of the Great Zhou Liaofeng, the republic of 12,000 and 8, the early autumn had just arrived, and the wind outside Qilu City was already blowing tightly. The wind was as strong as a knife, whistling and cutting faces, blowing so that there was no trace of people, and there were no traces of beasts.
Half a month ago, the Qilu City Mansion posted a notice for the people, saying that it was the Supreme Elder of the Qilu Daozong who passed down the edict: "The demon star enters Qilu, and there is a heavenly opportunity in troubled times." The catastrophe was coming, all the children of Qi Lu Dao Sect were recalled, and all the ordinary people under the rule of Qi Lu City were settled in the city to avoid the catastrophe.
The battle between Dao and Demon is a catastrophe!
When the news came out, the people were panicked, and the people of Qilu all took the Taoist sect as the purpose, and everyone did not dare to slack off, panicked, hurried, helped the old and the young, abandoned their families and fled, and they did not dare to delay, and they all rushed to Qilu City.
Binghe Village, thirty miles outside Qilu City, was originally a huge village full of smoke, but now there is no one in it, and there is no trace of those who carry burdens, carry baskets, hoe petunias, and beat grass and vegetables.
On the path in Binghe Village, a young man with two swords on his back searched around with a pair of eyes, his nose kept sniffing, and he said in his heart: "The demonic spirit is chaotic, it seems that many hidden guys have come out, and the demon star has entered Qilu, what a big momentum." ”
The young man's surname is Xu Jinzhi, which means to remind himself to be cautious, to deal with it slowly, and not to "compete for hegemony in everything, always come first". He has a clear and handsome face, sword eyebrows into the sideburns, clear eyes, a slight smile adds handsomeness, his face is slightly pale, which makes people's eyes light up, but he looks at it twice and feels slightly strange, obviously heroic but mixed with a trace of fatigue, it is hard to imagine that a person will combine such two completely different temperaments into one, it looks ordinary but people can't help but be attracted to him, just like the down-and-out Wang Sun became a poor teacher, holding a ring ruler and walking with a shallow smile.
Xu Jinzhi had just broken open an abandoned cave mansion and came out of the mountains, and he didn't know where he was in a daze, but he only remembered that not long ago he took over a small errand of a small Xiuzhen guild called the "Demon Slaying Alliance", and easily killed a bear demon and took a bear bile. Unexpectedly, the bear demon was the master who was wandering around committing crimes and his whereabouts were obscene, and he fled from the northwest to the Central Plains, from the plateau and Gobi to the prosperous Jiangnan, all the way, and finally arrived on the coast of the East China Sea.
One person and one demon were entangled all the way, chasing all the way, the bear demon hid in Tibet, was at the end of the road, and finally fled back to his hometown to find the help of Xiong Father Xiong and Xiong Zu Xiong Zong. Xu Jinzhi was helpless and finally came to the door alone to challenge, from playing one to playing a nest, comparing swords, Xuangong, formations, and magic weapons...... used all his might, and finally used a three-inch incorruptible tongue, knew the benefits, made a promise, paid a great sacrifice, and finally made the bear demon endure the pain and cut his gall - in exchange for half a sword pill for the bear bile of the bear demon pill.
The heaven-level errand of the Demon Slaying Alliance's "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang" was finally completed, which can be regarded as helping it make a name for itself and save this fledgling small guild. But the mission must be achieved, Xu Jinzhi felt bitter when he thought about it, and this trip was undoubtedly a blood loss. Not to mention the hard work, the price offered by the Demon Slaying Alliance is not worth a fraction of the sword pill, which makes the hero bleed and cry, and it is sad to think about it.
Speaking of which, it was the little bear's gall, but his own family exchanged half a sword pill - a treasure obtained from an evil sword cultivator!
The bear demon didn't do much evil, Xu Jinzhi didn't want to kill indiscriminately, just leave some cause and effect, and help the demon slayer league to show the signboard, the bear demon was rebuilt for a hundred years, and he was tortured and had a creation. Demon gall is nothing but a blood vein organ, and it is not difficult for the bear of cultivation to regenerate. Relying on the power of the sword pill, as long as the bear demon rebuilds for a hundred years, his cultivation will definitely be more refined.
The next thing is to shake hands and make peace, drink wine, and finally Xu Jinzhi only remembers that the group of old bears lined up one by one, formed a circle, and formed a formation to toast...... When you wake up, how can you be thrown into the wilderness?
This group of blind bears is too stingy, and they are also stingy when they practice to Jindan, so they throw their own house down and don't know where they have gone.
He remembered that there was a Qilu Dao Sect in Qizhou in the East China Sea, which was located on Qilu Peak, and under the peak was Qilu City. After making up his mind, he had no distractions, and hurried away from Qilu.
Along the way, walking through the village, there was no one at all, like a Jedi, Xu Jinzhi was very surprised, until Binghe Village saw the notice left on the wall, only to know that "the magic star entered Qilu", and it was difficult to walk in the world.
The path gradually opens, Xu Jinzhi walks along the road, and sees an ancestral hall in front of him, a stone tablet in front of the hall, and the word "Binghe" is written on it. He turned to look at the back of the stele, where dense small characters were written with allusions to the name of the village.
He read it carefully and was very surprised. According to the stele said, this Binghe Village is a great war site more than 100 years ago, when Qilu Daozong gathered 10,000 soldiers to go out here to fight the Northern Expedition, sharp and bright like a river, in order to commemorate and have the name of Binghe.
But he clearly remembered that Qi Lu Daozong's Northern Expedition to the Ghost Fang Barbarians was only a few years ago, so why did he erect a monument for more than a hundred years?
Thinking about it, I couldn't help laughing, Qilu Daozong and those barbarians in the north have fought to the death for hundreds of years, and there are countless battles, and there is not only one Northern Expedition, maybe the Northern Expedition will pass for a while, and then be hunted back by the South, and there will not be too many opportunities to erect a monument.
This Qi Lu Dao Sect is a prominent branch of Taoism, sitting in the coastal land, with the sixth-level spiritual land Qi Lu Peak as the Taoist Sect, under the peak Qi Lu City people Ding Risheng, strong strength, and demons, seize the land of fierce beasts, continue to attack the barbarians in the north, open up the territory.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, the army was out on the expedition, and what kind of demon star was there, no wonder everyone fled to Qilu City.
He has a unique experience, an extraordinary background, and has a compassionate heart, thinking in his heart: "Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism are harmonious on the surface, but there are endless disputes on the inside, resulting in a large number of sects in the world, thousands of sects have their own dependence, and powerful giants are entrenched on one side, plus the external conquest with demons and demon beasts, it is a good scene of troubled times." Cultivators will fight the heavens and the earth, bloody and bloody, and the bitter people are still these ordinary people, not as good as cattle and sheep. ”
It was getting late, the sun was shining, and seeing that there was no one around, Xu Jinzhi cleaned up a corner in the ancestral hall to rest. Too lazy to make a fire, and he didn't care about the rumbling of his stomach, he picked up the gourd on his waist and poured a big mouthful on his neck.
As soon as I poured it in, I squirted it out violently, and my mouth was full of earthy taste, and I couldn't help but be surprised when I spit out the crumbs in my mouth, and I remembered that the gourd was full of good wine from the bear demon, and it was all gone.
Xu Jinzhi hurriedly groped in his arms for a while, but fortunately, the bear gall demon pill was still there.
What he is cultivating now is an ancient demonic skill, which is extremely unique, and can absorb demons and all things for my use. The bear bile demon pill trembled slightly in the palm of his hand, and a strong demonic power was inhaled, as if a giant bear was roaring.
Xu Jinzhi came to the creek and poured out the pickled gourd, and when it fell, it turned black as ink, as if it was a hundred years old, and even the cleaning water became muddy and smelly. Finally washed and filled with clear stream water, he crushed the bear bile demon pill, soaked it in a gourd, and drank it as "bear bile water".
His original cultivation was exhausted, his own Dao foundation was lacking, and it was difficult for him to go back to the right path of cultivation, so he had to find another way with magic and demonic skills. However, although the foundation of the Demon Cultivation Demon Dao is unstable and it is difficult to find the Great Dao, it is stronger than quick success, and the power is not weak, which is extremely commensurate with him now.
After drinking half a gourd bear bile water, Xu Jin's heart had no foreign matter, his divine breath was condensed, and he ran the Heaven Devouring Demon Confusion Skill, broke the way against the sky, devoured the bear bile demon pill and returned to the void, and the Dan dissolved and turned into demon power, and then turned into the most original spiritual power, which was stored in the dantian qi sea.
Ten thousand laws have different paths, and in the end, ordinary people cultivate the truth from the beginning of refining qi, and refining the sea of qi into a whirlwind, which is for refining qi. When the sea of qi rises and spins into a sea of stars, as if the stars are formed, the foundation will be built.
The stars have formed tens of millions, each with thousands of supernatural powers, this so-called supernatural power builds the foundation, and the road of cultivation has started from here, and the soul is knotted, and there is no phase of the baby...... There is no end to cultivation, and heaven and earth can compete!
Xu Jinzhi is now lacking in the Dao Foundation, the sea of qi is like the Dead Sea, not to mention the vortex spin, half of the spiritual power transformed by the Bear Bile Demon Pill is poured into it, as if it is a drop in the ocean, and there is no movement at all. The right is to be a pond for storing water, and every point used will be less.
There is no whirlwind in the sea of qi, and there is no spiritual power, Xu Jinzhi's current cultivation qualifications are really inferior to ordinary people, just like a person who owes tens of millions of debts, and is much more unbearable than the penniless poor man.
In desperation, he had no choice but to keep devouring the spirit of the demon and borrowing the spiritual power of others to use it - once he used it, he would have it gone.
I don't know the time of practice, at this time it is already the moon hanging in the sky, he absorbs half of the power of the demon pill, only to feel that the whole body is extremely comfortable, and he can't help but look up to the sky and howl. The whistling sound shook the wilderness, soaring into the sky, and the block in the chest was eliminated, which was extremely painful.
He looked up, saw the moon and stars, and saw how much rise and fall he saw in the vastness of the world, and couldn't help but think of a remnant poem in the past, and recited it with interest:
I practice the Demon Dao of Hegemony alone,
The immortal saint demon god has nothing to ask for.
Thousands of autumns to fight for eternity,
It's not as good as a pot of wine......
"What a domineering spirit, such a carefree wine!" Suddenly there was a laugh in the distance, "Such a hero, when you drink a glass, can the young man have good wine?"
A sturdy monk greeted him, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a fierce beard, wearing a light red thorn gold robe, a good treasure and solemnity. The monk folded his hands and said: "The poor monk Pure Land Temple is good at the sea, the young man is so courageous, how about begging for a glass of wine?"
All of a sudden, Xu Jinzhi felt embarrassed, the gourd was not filled with wine, it was just the stream at the head of the village, and he also pinched the bear bile demon pill into it, the blood of demon beasts, the essence of monsters, such a pot of poisonous and fierce things is not something that ordinary people can touch.
The monk in front of him is upright, and he looks like a hero, Xu Jinzhi has a heart-to-heart relationship, and said: "Have you been drinking, there is a stream at the head of the drinking village, do you want to show you the way?"
The fat monk was stunned, and said in his heart that this young man was so impulsive, his own smile was polite and polite, and his kung fu of being kind to others was perfect, how could he cause such hostility, could it be that he accidentally broke the taboo of others?
Monk Shanhai's heart was full of twists and turns, and his face was silent. He was looking for an opportunity in the wilderness, and when he heard the whistle coming, he had to be even more careful to test whether the young man in front of him was the person he was looking for.
Monk Shanhai is worthy of being a monk who walks the rivers and lakes, and his two cold and lightning-like eyes turned twice on Xu Jinzhi's face, and then he said with a smile: "The poor monk is not thirsty, and he heard that the young man is heroic and heroic, and the poem has a sense of Zen, so he can't help but admire it very much, and he can't help but say yes, but it is abrupt." ”
Xu Jinzhi took off the gourd on his waist, shook it, and said hesitantly: "This gourd is filled with demon crumbs, ordinary people don't drink it well, and those below Jin Dan can't bear it." ”
"If the monk wants to drink, let's go to Qilu City. My name is Xu Jinzhi, the white-edged swordsman of the Demon Slaying Alliance. ”
"Demon Slayer Alliance? Monk Shanhai praised it in his mouth, but said in his heart, I don't know where the small sect has such a straightforward and stupid name, I have never heard of it. The white-edged swordsman was even more sour, and it seemed that he was out of sight.
"Wine is one of the five precepts, and the poor monk joked about it, and it was a sin. It seems that he is a delusional person, Monk Shanhai was slightly disappointed, and he had no intention of delaying, so he wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jinzhi said quietly: "It's still a little greedy to listen to the tone." ”
Monk Shanhai only felt like he had been punched in the chest, and he couldn't speak in one breath.
Xu Jinzhi had a heart to intersect, consumed some magic power, released his divine sense, and after a slight inspection, his heart was already clear. This great monk is about the cultivation of the early stage of the foundation, in this era of eliminating the remnants of the law, it can be regarded as a completion of cultivation, "bear bile water" can not be drunk, but lick it, and then help him turn into a demonic power, more or less can get some benefits, cultivation may be able to raise a layer is also unknown, it is considered to be a good fate with the fat monk.
"You are not qualified enough to drink water", Xu Jinzhi said sincerely: "At most, I will lick you?"
"Hahaha, haha, ha......" Monk Shanhai laughed desperately.
The Pure Land Temple belongs to the last branch of Buddhism, clumsy in protecting the Dharma, long in traveling, and has a wide range of good karma in the world. There is no other reason, if you can't fight, you just have a good temper, and all of them are monks.
Let the old man lick it...... Monk Shanhai's heart fluctuated, and he secretly sighed: Is it easy for me to have a monk in the Great Pure Land Temple!
Monk Shanhai smiled and shook his head: "Poor monks are not thirsty. Xu Shaoxia is a young hero, and he went to Qilu City to do the 'Demon Star', to kill demons and eliminate demons. ”
Xu Jinzhi shook his head and replied: "It seems that I drank too much and just woke up." He knocked his finger and knocked on his head, and said embarrassedly: "I almost smashed an errand in the Demon Slaying Alliance, I'm embarrassed to go back, it's better to go to Qilu City to have a look." He said with a smile: "If I run into a demon star or something, I can do it easily, and I can help Qi Lu Daozong." ”
Monk Shanhai's face remained unchanged, but he was yelling with enough strength in his heart: He still said that there was no wine, and he said that there was no wine, and he didn't give it to Lao Ke to drink...... Sure enough, you drank too much, how much did you drink? Where are you waking up, you are clearly very drunk, more than drunk in a mess!
This is a chick, this is a chick who doesn't know the height of the sky, the height of the earth, and the thickness of the north, the south, the south, the north, the west. Monk Shanhai felt that his face was almost unbearable. Qi Lu Dao Sect regarded it as a great enemy, and the "Demon Star" that countless monks in Qi Lu City were bent on fighting against, what a big demon it must be, and what an earth-shattering power. Now it's up to you to do it? How smooth is your hand!
A small sect that has never heard of a name, a small sect whose name can take the vernacular of the Demon Slaying Alliance, you are even just a "white-edged swordsman" in this kind of dog-fighting, pig-killing faction, and demon slaying alliance!
Monk Shanhai secretly pinched his thigh, hey, it really hurts, it's not a dream, a so-called white-edged swordsman just said that he was going to do it with the Demon Star, and he seemed to be ready to do it.
Monk Shanhai smiled and nodded—speechless, just smile.
The monk in front of him was stunned and did not speak, his eyes were full of admiration and encouragement, Xu Jinzhi saw that he was open-minded, and was about to hand over the gourd to let his friend lick it at first sight, but he heard a sound of horses' hooves "trampling", and a group of people rode fast horses and galloped quickly from the end of the path.
Under the bright moonlight, the first horse was red, only four hooves were a little white, and a young man in a strong suit was on the saddle, with a sword hanging from his waist, and his white clothes were fluttering, and he was full of heroic spirit, driving a horse and galloping. Immediately behind the young man, three more riders followed, the riders were all in hard leather and leather armor, all of them were fierce men.
The white-clothed young man went straight to a foot in front of him, strangled the horse, turned over, and beckoned to the monk Shanhai: "Master Shanhai is also there", turned his head and glanced at Xu Jinzhi, and the fox asked: "The Xuankong Flying Star Demon Disk suddenly has a sense, has the master seen any abnormal movements?"
