—
The strong typhoon "Dragon King" has been raging for nearly a day, and now the wind and rain are finally declining, but the demon king is still in the whirlpool of turmoil-
"Unleash the power of fury at my command, rock blocks!"
"Freeze the shells of all evil things, freeze the storm!"
"Wind Blade!"
"The lost son who wanders between heaven and earth, the wandering light wild boy born in the night, I give you the end of the dust in the name of the thunder and lightning attached to the body of the brave!
"That's how it should be......" Finally started to work that was no different from the previous task entrusted by the association, Han Feng, who had a straightforward personality, was still full of energy, "I'm not good at thinking, just leave this kind of drudgery to me!"
"Although the strength of the individual is very weak, the scale of these tens of thousands is ...... I don't think it'll be a good time to happen again. Snow Crane couldn't help but be frightened.
"If it weren't for Jean's predecessor to find out the demons who used illusions, how long would we have been deceived......" Yueming also sighed while killing several bird-shaped monsters flying and fleeing with continuous flame balls while aiming at the next wave of sneaking evil spirits.
"Next is the most difficult period of Gu poison outbreak, although individuals are not afraid, everyone still has to be cautious about dealing with the tide of monsters. After Emperor Gen Xinli finished speaking solemnly, he looked at Cedar with a solemn face, "Xiao Song, I have to go back to help Shantong next, it's okay to hand over the reconnaissance here to you, right?"
"No problem, Sister Xin Li, Dengzhi and I can already use 'Wuyu no Jiling' in a wide range, and we can also communicate with Abel's tactile silk in the south of the city. Cedar nodded firmly, and the wisteria patterns wrapped around his arms faintly flowed with a turquoise glow.
"This operation requires careful detection, and both you and Abel will have to work hard......" Xin Li sighed, and looked worriedly at the distant mountain with the spire hidden in the clouds, the majestic mountain was shaking with pale golden light from the resonance of the sword.
"We'll try, don't worry about us. Cedar smiled, and continued to frown slightly, sensing the frenzied aura.
"Then I'll take Xiaohe and Miss Shiloh to the city, Ellie is in charge, you have to be careful," Xin Li nodded and looked at Zhaohua, "Xiaohua, don't be too reluctant, you've been too tired lately." ”
Hearing this, Zhaohua nodded, and casually chopped a monster that pounced out: "Thank you for your concern, please rest assured, senior." ”
"Zhaohua, pay attention to your right, there's a monster coming," Cedar reminded dutifully, and listened to the commotion of the whole city worriedly, "The movement is too big, Harden will be uncomfortable now, right?"
"It's okay, Sally and Senior Clio are there with him," Ellie said comfortingly, and sighed softly, "I think Mr. He's condition is more worrying, will he be very uncomfortable......
"yes...... Wait, this breath isn't-" Just as they were talking about this topic, Cedar took them around the corner and bumped into He Yanfang and Carlos.
"Mr. He, aren't you uncomfortable?" Xue Song couldn't help complaining after being surprised, and stepped forward to hold He Yanfang's hand, "Although I'm not very skilled, let me try the treatment!"
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about it. He Yanfang smiled bitterly, reluctantly accepting his kindness, "Xiao Song, you have indeed grown a lot." ”
"Komatsu, you can leave him alone, his illness is a curse, even if you worry, you can't cure it," Carlos patted He Yanfang's shoulder gently, "Don't worry, he can get through." ”
"We will solve this Gu as soon as possible. Knowing that there was nothing he could do, Cedar nodded and gently let go of his hand while speaking firmly.
"Thank you Komatsu, I do feel much better," He Yanfang showed a gentle smile and gently raised the left hand that had been held by him, the color of emotion of unknown meaning flashed, and his eyes were still cold when he raised his eyes, "Let's get rid of the Gu poison together." ”
Returning to the pursuit, they chased the demons all the way, gradually reaching the edge of the ancient capital. The thousand-year-old demon capital's city walls, which stretch for dozens of miles and are winding on all sides, are in the distance, and the wet blue-black color in the rainy night gives people a cold and heavy feeling. The black towers stood there, more terrifying than majestic.
"A lot of evil spirits have gathered there. He Yanfang raised his head slightly to look at the majestic black shadow, and said flatly.
"Let's go," Carlos said briskly, "there's a weird smell, and Rebecca didn't come here...... But there's no pity, she must be busy taking materials, the next issue of "Demon Slayer" is the theme of the demon flurry and didn't run. ”
"Don't let her report this, what should I do if Oreo sees it?" He Yanfang immediately ordered, and then looked at Cedar again, "Komatsu, you've been corresponding with Oreo recently, right?"
Cedar was startled and nodded a little weakly: "...... Well. ”
He Yanfang smiled helplessly, and then sighed softly: "Don't reveal too much to him, you don't need to alarm him about these things, after all, he is not good at such complicated things." He has always been very troubled by conspiracies, civil strife and the like, and this time he is not willing to let me intervene, if he knows that I am still the target of Gu poisoning, not only will I not be able to explain to him in the future, but I will also be reprimanded by him through the hospital. ”
"I see, I'm sorry......"
"You didn't do anything wrong, alright, let's go. ”
After taking two steps, he couldn't help but raise his head, and Cedar hesitated to speak: "Mr. He, you ...... with the head of the headquarters."
He Yanfang paused, and then smiled faintly: "Are you also worried about this?"
"It's a little ......," Cedar nodded frankly, staring inquiringly at He Yanfang's dark eyes.
This time, He Yanfang didn't smile, but asked lightly: "If we can quarrel or even fight, will you help me?"
"This ......" Cedar looked at Carlos in embarrassment, and found that Carlos's expression was also quite serious.
He Yanfang glanced at him, smiled again, and his expression could not see the gloom.
"Because it's you, I'll just say so," he said, looking up at the bleak night sky, "Oreo Milton, mighty and reliable, is my last retreat." As a last resort, my self-esteem did not allow myself to ask him for help. That's it, I didn't have a fight with him, don't believe the rumors. ”
"I see. Hearing this, he finally felt that he had become a little better aware of He Yanfang, Cedar nodded, and continued to follow him with confidence.
In a short time, the gates were in front of them. On weekdays, the majestic and magnificent building looks dim and cold, and the rainy night has a bit of a strange taste.
"I don't like rainy days...... the wind changed from time to time, and Carlos, who was drenched, complained and turned his umbrella around and turned a little to the side of He Yanfang, "Don't you like it too, you have to run out......"
"It's not the time to stay at home if you don't like it, and don't relax too much, it's a dangerous time. He Yanfang replied solemnly, Xuesong felt that he really didn't like to laugh so much recently, although it was natural, he still couldn't get used to it.
At last they reached the bottom of the tower, where the lanterns in the wind and rain shook the dim light of the fire, casting a hazy shadow on their faces. Feeling the hesitation of He Yanfang beside him, Xuesong turned his head and asked uneasily, "Mr. He, what's wrong?"
He Yanfang came back to his senses and smiled bitterly: "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered my senior brother......
He looked up at the copper bell dripping with rain at the corner of the eaves, and showed a nostalgic look: "My senior brother likes to sit on the eaves and blow his bird whistle, he was like a pure child at that time. ”
"Hundred...... No, what kind of existence is he, the leader of the minced?" Cedar couldn't help but ask.
"Cruel, bloodthirsty, rebellious, straightforward...... He is evil, but not the vile evil of the adversary we are facing today. ”
He still misses the light of a hundred miles...... Cedar looked at her friends, and everyone was silent.
"Now it seems that the 'Dead Strange' should have nothing to do with the Nine Murders?" Han Feng tried to confirm.
"I can't say that it is unrelated, but the body of the real murderer is not the Nine Murderers, and this should not be wrong," Carlos patted the city wall and couldn't help but sigh, "What a sturdy structure." But in the end, the structure of the people who defended the city only became a cage for the heart of the city, which was quite chilling. ”
Hearing his words, He Yanfang sneered: "After all, it was a city that was born for the sake of sealing." ”
Hearing this, Ellie, who had been in the Demon King for a long time, couldn't help but show a puzzled look: "For the seal?"
He Yanfang looked at them for a moment, and seemed to have made up his mind to find out the situation: "The envoy's words make people feel uneasy, right? But the truth is gloomy, this city originally existed to seal the dark secrets, that's all. ”
"What do you mean......" Ellie's surprise was tinged with confusion.
"The reason why I will be conniving is because I have a weak heart. The structure of the city gives a sense of security, right? The structure itself is an impregnable cage. The seal is constructed to lock in the hoodoo in the center through an impermeable structure, and we ourselves are sacrifices in it. ”
"Isn't it......" These words made Han Feng, who was disgusted with thinking, stunned, and he grabbed his messy hair again, "How can it be, aren't all elites here?"
He Yanfang shook his head solemnly, and gently knocked on the wet stone wall: "If it's just to pursue the remnants of the Black Water Ji, why should the Divine Realm let many strong people stay here? ”
"Why ...... like this" was shocked by this statement, and Cedar's voice was hesitant.
"For the Divine Realm, this is the safest thing to do......" He Yanfang exhaled lightly, "At the beginning, the Chang'an Blood Sacrifice put down the rebellion of Heishui Ji, but after all, it was a big murderous thing, as the 'Swinging Soldiers' said, the only reason to enter the battlefield is to hate iron and not steel, if the Divine Realm does its best, where will there be evil demons to fight against evil demons? Therefore, the Divine Realm was deeply disturbed, and even if the sacrifices were repeated, they finally couldn't help but seal all the items related to the Nine Evils. ”
"But it's more than a seal," Ellie wondered, "The Nine Emperors have all put those things here in the Otherworld......
"Yes, nine of the eighteen kings who made a rebellion are gone, but the nine kings who are obedient are also hidden dangers. After the crisis, the powerful combat power is useless, and the best way is to let the Nine Kings take all the ominous items outside Kyushu, which is why there is now the Demon King Capital. ”
He Yanfang smiled mockingly: "I was in a hurry to clean up the remnants of Heishui Ji, and I didn't follow the instructions of the divine envoy, so Yu Xuan's thin red was given to Zhengyin by me and lost outside, if it was safe and sound, it would be fine, after the tragedy, this is the evidence of the failure of the seal, and since then the suspicion and accusation have been endless." ”
"But they can't help it, you're different from everyone else. Carlos interjected.
"I had nothing left, and I could hear them...... By the time I realized it, I had gone to the Blue World, where I had been an adjutant under Oreo for a while. I think Mingyin and they also suffered from Oreo at that time, and the story of the deceased did not come to me. When I came back, I was already a sage of the Heavenly Punisher, and I didn't have that close connection with the Demon King, so they couldn't say anything. ”
"But you're back. Xuehe said.
"yes, I can't stay out of it. The traces of Yu Xuan's life are all here, and a girl like her, who is so loyal and even a little naïve, has to be sealed and feared as a bad thing after death, which is really an insult. And the remaining nine murderers ...... They were all my companions, and despite their misconceptions, I don't want them to be used after death, and Kuromihime was defeated by their efforts, and they deserve to leave with dignity anyway. Resolving incidents is not only for the dignity of the deceased, but also for the living. My friend Shantong and they were forced to hold on to the ancient city and not leave, which is too much of an understatement to call exile. ”
That's right, the Nine Emperors are also a strong man who once dominated the world, but now he has wasted thousands of years of time for vain things...... Who would be willing! Cedar couldn't help but feel sad when she remembered her master Xin Li's smile from beginning to end.
"Not only the Nine Emperors, but the existence of the Passage Courtyard is just to seal all this, in order not to let the dead be troubled, it doesn't matter if we are sacrificed here, if there is a new tragedy, we will investigate the matter again, everything is happening cruelly in connivance," He Yanfang looked at the children with a wry smile, So do you understand the attitude of the envoy, in the eyes of the divine realm, it doesn't matter how the casualties are caused by the courtyard, this is the blood sacrifice to appease the sealed things, and there is a bloody case that is more like being forgiven by the dead, just like the city wall is surrounded by the truth of the facts, and their demon hall is just a cover for the original intention of indifference. ”
"'Haotian is not ashamed, descend this bow', (note)" Dengzhi, who has always been indifferent and silent, suddenly sneered, which made Cedar take aback, "It's not that you don't have that strength, it's just that you haven't done it, doesn't this make people feel chilling?"
He Yanfang paused in a little surprise, and exhaled heavily: "Yes, the Spring God has had doubts about this from the beginning, and they have agreed to correct all this, but where is this that a few of them can decide? And the bane...... Isn't that exactly what the envoy said, an unrighteous 'mind'? The Dead Stranger just gives the unscrupulous a cover for catharsis, and it may not be so easy to stop all this. ”
"The internal discord has given Hei Shui Ji and the Empress of the Sky an opportunity, and the righteous who have the heart to change the situation are restrained left and right, which is really sad......" There was a majesty in Dengzhi's indifferent voice, "This layer of self-built walls really has to be broken." ”
"Yes, even if I want to be loyal to morality, I am bound by this artificial boundary through the Academy, and my freedom is so much broader compared to them, I can't just watch them outside the cage because of Oreo's help. ”
"You've done a lot, Master Wang Zhen told me that you were reprimanded by the Bai Ze brothers and sisters for the sake ......of the deceased, and this time you have become the target of Gu magic," Ellie said unevenly.
"It's not a reproach, I haven't been blamed. ”
"How have you not been ......" Carlos couldn't help but say angrily, "What do they want, aren't you a victim......?
"Carlos, you should know, if it weren't for them, where would Yu Xuan be able to keep his name? And what attitude do you want them to put on, Yu Xuan was killed by me. He Yanfang immediately stopped him, and as soon as this sentence came out, everyone fell silent.
"Nothing will help, try your best to end this dispute!" He Yanfang took a deep breath, raised his hand and shot a thunder talisman at the bottom of the swaying eaves in the dim light, and the thunder fire with his unique silver breath exploded countless evil ghosts that screamed and annihilated!
"These shouts hidden deep in the cracks of the masonry may have had a lot of blood, but they have been worn away by the old iron cage and the cold and empty truth. They have been ruined, but we still have ideals. Let them rest in peace, we need to move forward!"
Infected by his power, the children also concentrated on pursuit, and chased to the top of the city tower to eliminate the stragglers.
There seemed to be more disturbed evil spirits than expected, and by the time He Yanfang and the two of them followed, the children had already dispersed in groups to track, and he only saw Zhaohua walking under the porch in a restless mood.
"Zhaohua, what are you thinking?" He Yanfang asked softly.
"Ah I'm sorry, it's nothing......" Zhaohua froze for a moment, lowered his head and replied softly, "It's just that a passage suddenly came to mind...... 'People who love each other shouldn't quarrel.'" Because there are only two of them, and it is the whole world that opposes them. As soon as they are estranged, the world will conquer them'. ”
"'Farewell to Arms', right?" He Yanfang smiled at him, "A group is like this. ”
He patted the thin shoulder of the delicate boy again, and his eyes were firm: "Let's wipe out the evil here, let everyone be liberated from this prison that imprisons themselves for a thousand years, and then break through the so-called 'doom' together!"
Not used to being so close to his predecessors, Zhaohua looked up at him a little helplessly, and his same black eyes, although confused, were still clear.
"Although things are very bad, they are far from the worst," facing the child's eyes, He Yanfang seemed to encourage him and motivate himself, "Just face it bravely, just never retreat." I remember Hemingway also said, 'Superior to others is not noble, the real noble should be superior to the past self'. It's terrible, but if you defeat the past, you'll be stronger, both through the temple and us. ”
Zhaohua nodded slightly, and those black eyes brightened in the light: "Life always makes us bruised, but in the future, those injured places will definitely become our strongest places." (Hemingway, "The Old Man and the Sea)"
"Oh my God, the King of Chicken Soup meets the famous little prince!" Carlos cupped his head exaggeratedly, "It's spectacular......"
They looked at each other and laughed at Carlos's joke, and strode in front of the evil cult gathering.

Haotian does not pay (maid), descend this bow: from the "Book of Songs, Xiaoya, Festival Nanshan", which means "the heavens are really not bright, and such a catastrophe has descended".
The bgm in this article is Beyond's "The Great Wall", and it can be eaten with both the Cantonese and Japanese versions. The main body of this article is generated by the lyrics of the Great Wall, and the following excerpts from the lyrics of the two versions of "The Great Wall" are the inspiration of this article:
Far East
Vast frontiers
[There are also ancient broken walls.]
The vicissitudes of a previous life
The scenery of the afterlife
Thousands of miles and mountains are firmly bordered
Surrounding the old kingdom
Around the truth of the facts
Around the vast years
Around desires and ideals
Superstitious villages
Mysterious center
And yesterday's battlefield
The Emperor's New Clothes
Hot-blooded tassel gun
Everyone is willing to linger and plug it
Surrounding the old kingdom
Around the truth of the facts
Around the vast years
Hope and Ideals (shouting)】
Hazy ears
There were no more people who were shouting that day
WOO--AHWOO--AHAHAH
Hazy eyes
Say goodbye to the scar you admired in the past
WOO--AHWOO--AHAHAH
Remain on the head of the earth's crust
An uncrowned body
Selfless thoughts
[There are also prominent broken walls]
No one can rush away
No one can throw it low
Who wants to wander all his life?
Surrounding the old kingdom
Around the truth of the facts
Around the vast years
Hope and Ideals (Shouting)
Hazy ears
There were no more people who were shouting that day
WOO--AHWOO--AHAHAH
Hazy eyes
Say goodbye to the scar you admired in the past
WOO--AHWOO--AHAHAH
Remain on the head of the earth's crust
Hazy ears
There were no people there who were shouting that day
WOO--AHWOO--AHAHAH
Hazy eyes
Say goodbye to the scar you admired in the past
WOO--AHWOO--AHAHAH
Remain on the head of the earth's crust
Japanese translation:
The gears shouted frantically
Stuffed with no end to swelling "Why?"
[Is tomorrow a fragment of yesterday that is severed?]
It's just the truth that is repeated
We are surrounded by invisible fences
Stick the sun to the sky where there is no light
Just tell you
All that is needed is less damage than words.]
Shoutbythewall

WOWWOWWOWWOW
Shoutforthewall
Give us the breath of despair

Locked up in the depths of the night
Our sound just makes the wire mesh shake
