Chapter 149: Spiritual Extinguishment

The true origin of Zhang Haotian and Eryan Valley is only known by a few people even among the teachers of the Qingcheng Sect, and Le Zheng Tingyin is not among them, but Zhang Haotian's action made Le Zheng Tingyin care more.

"The title of the speech I am giving here today is Exploring the Origin of the Demon Slaying Zhang Family. He Qingshi's speech began, and there was an uproar in the venue, and the study of the history of the five schools of the Holy Dao Division would always cause criticism, He Qingshi just smiled lightly at this, and seemed to be very satisfied with this effect.

"First of all, we know that the Zhang family's ascension to the position of the five families of the Holy Dao Division was two thousand one hundred and fifty-eight years ago, and this has an exact record in the Holy Dao Division, so we don't need to question this. But before the Zhang family ascended to the position of the top five families, the demon slayer had existed for hundreds of years, and some classics mentioned it, such as "The Record of Changes in the Eastern Regions" and "The Collection of Famous Families".

"Then we can find the origin of the demon slayer from some traces of history, this part of the history is the history of the demon slayer Zhang family, by hunting and killing extremely harmful demon spirits, they gradually occupy a higher position in the Dao realm, the Eastern Regions has become their main sphere of influence, and the distribution of the Zhang family's strongholds is also expanding, this solid foundation has become the capital for them to settle in the upper five families, replacing the declining Huang blood Huang family.

"But when we cross the boundary of three thousand years, we will find that there is no trace of the demon slayer in the earlier history, and all the records about the Zhang family are only sporadic and half-pointed, and it is just a small family that can't make waves, maybe it's still a small family in a small ravine in the Eastern Regions. ”

I have to say that He Qingshi's talk about things can drive the atmosphere very much, and as he gradually goes deeper, the venue becomes quiet. Zhang Shui had a cold face, quietly waiting for him to spit out more unknown content in his mouth, and his face became worse and worse.

"It's thinking like this that brought to my attention something very important that no one had ever noticed before.

"According to the records of the Eastern Calamity, three thousand years ago, not long before the origin of the Demon Slayer, there were several disasters in the Eastern Regions where several treasure lands lost their vitality, and these disasters all had a common feature, that is, the place where the disaster occurred was completely lifeless, and no living beings could continue to survive there.

"I have excavated a large number of relics about these disasters, and these relics and fragments were personally searched by me in the places where the disasters occurred recorded in the "Eastern Calamity", and through the inspection of the Taoist History Society, it was determined that they are all cultural relics from 3,000 years ago.

"There is very little complete information that can be unearthed from these ruins and fragments, but there is one term that appears frequently in these incomplete information, and that word is 'blood demon'!

"The number of times it appears is not to be regarded as an accident, the term must be closely related to the Soul Destroyer, and by reasonable inference, I can be sure that the Soul Destroyer is caused by the Blood Demon.

"This inference is a fairly solid evidence, the Syracuse natural disaster, the Zhang family once eliminated a snow demon in Syracuse, and the Syracuse natural disaster and the spirit extinguishing disaster are extremely similar, so this kind of disaster can reasonably be considered to be caused by the demon spirit. ”

Zhang Shui's hand hidden under his sleeve clenched tightly into a fist, and he said almost silently: "It's nonsense." ”

"What followed was the time for bold speculation, just after the Spirit Extermination, the Demon Slayer began to appear, and the record of the Spirit Exterminating Blood Demon disappeared.

"So we can think that it is the ancestor of the Zhang family's demon exterminator, who eliminated the evil blood demon and prevented the continuation of the spirit extermination, and the demon exterminator has always taken the elimination of evil demon spirits as his own responsibility, and has continued to this day, becoming one of the five families of the Holy Dao Division.

"To test my suspicions, I personally visited the Zhang family and received enthusiastic support from the elders of the Zhang family, who provided me with an account of the origins within the Zhang family.

"Before becoming a demon exterminator, the Zhang family was just a small family, and the village where it was located was invaded by a powerful demon spirit, in that battle, the weak Zhang family was almost wiped out, but the village chief at that time, equivalent to the current head of the Zhang family, turned the tide, defeated the powerful demon spirit, obtained the secret method of eliminating the demon spirit, and then passed it on to this day, becoming a demon slayer clan.

"The origin of the Spirit Extermination Blood Demon and the Zhang family itself almost perfectly coincides. We have reason to believe that the powerful demon spirit that the Zhang family eliminated back then was the blood demon that caused many spirit annihilation disasters, and when it wanted to cause the spirit annihilation disaster in the village where the Zhang family was located, it met the resistance of the Zhang family and was finally destroyed.

"When I put forward this statement at that time, I was praised by the elders of the Zhang family, and they all thought that my reasoning was very close to the real facts, and it was extremely accurate to the history of the time.

"This is the end of my speech this time, the Zhang family eliminated the spirit extermination disaster blood demon and achieved the origin of the demon exterminator. Thank you for your patience in listening to my speech. ”

He Qingshi bowed to the audience in thanks, and the venue resounded with warm applause, perhaps because the theme of the speech was related to the history of the Zhang family, and the applause was much warmer than the previous speeches.

Only Zhang Shui and Cheng Lixiao, who accompanied him, did not applaud, Cheng Lixiao could sense that Zhang Shui's face was very bad, I was afraid that this speech touched which of his scales, so Cheng Lixiao did not dare to applaud rashly.

As for Le Zheng Tingyin's box, Le Zheng Tingyin was also sitting with a cold face, and his reaction was far less than that of the people outside, and although Zhang Haotian was clapping his hands, those blurred eyes told others that his thoughts fell farther and deeper.

Zhang Haotian watched He Qingshi walk off the podium and return behind the scenes. It is estimated that he went back to the lounge, tomorrow is the speech of the youth group, the lounge is the same place, Zhang Haotian knows the location, so he suddenly had an idea and wanted to take action immediately.

"Teacher Lezheng, I want to go out for a while. Zhang Haotian turned around and asked.

Le Zheng Tingyin's gaze stopped on Zhang Haotian for two seconds, and then nodded in agreement with him to go out. She didn't think that Zhang Haotian had anything special, so she agreed.

Zhang Haotian left the box quickly and hurriedly walked towards the lounge, as if he was afraid that Le Zhengtingyin would chase him out and regret it. Seeing this, Yunli in the shadow of the robe was very strange, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I was a little concerned about what the man said. Zhang Haotian replied honestly, he didn't think there was any need to hide anything from Yunli?

"Who?" the cloud was puzzled.

"The person who just spoke is called He Qingshi. ”

"Oh, but he's wrong about something, the blood demon isn't dead, it's still alive. Yunli said lightly.

Zhang Haotian suddenly froze in place, unable to take a step forward, the words in the cloud touched a certain nerve in him, and many thoughtful and terrifying thoughts suddenly popped up, and he couldn't sort it out or digest it for a while.

At this time, facing the two demon exterminators, Zhang Haotian's whole body tensed, I hope they didn't hear the voice in the clouds.

Zhang Haotian noticed that the eyes of the two kept falling on him, but Zhang Haotian didn't know them, so they were definitely not demon slayers from the Zhang family, and it should be impossible to recognize him Zhang Haotian right. Zhang Haotian avoided their gaze, and subconsciously tugged on the Dao robe on his body with his hand, so as to remind the clouds in it not to make any sound.

Zhang Haotian pretended not to care about the Demon Slayer at all, walked past the two of them, turned his back to them and continued to walk uneasily, but fortunately, in the end, the two Demon Slayer Master did not turn back and call him back.

Zhang Haotian breathed a sigh of relief at this time, it seemed that these two demon slayers really didn't know them. However, Zhang Haotian is also strange, he obviously ran away from home, and the family did not report his news to the demon slayer masters in various strongholds, in order to find himself, it seems that he is really insignificant to the family Zhang Haotian.

Thinking of this, Zhang Haotian was a little lost. However, this mood did not last long, he had other things to do, it was not advisable to soak in these emotions for too long, and after stabilizing his mood, he came to the lounge.

The door of the lounge was closed and not closed, Zhang Haotian first tried to knock a few times, but no one in the room answered him, and it was surprisingly quiet.

Although he was not very polite, Zhang Haotian tentatively pushed open the hidden door, the lounge was very spacious, but there was no one inside, and the lights were still on. Although there was no one inside, Zhang Haotian still tiptoed into the lounge, afraid that someone would be missed by himself.

However, no one came out after Zhang Haotian walked into the lounge, it seems that there is really no one here. It seems that the speakers in the youth group are not very restless and do not want to stay here, and listening to other people's speeches in the venue is more in line with their personalities.

From this point of view, He Qingshi did not return to the lounge, and Zhang Haotian thought that the idea of coming to the lounge was probably in vain.

Just as Zhang Haotian was about to leave, he suddenly heard a vague voice in the distance, and his timbre was very similar to He Qingshi, but he didn't expect him to come back at such a time, Zhang Haotian was a little surprised. He turned around and the voice of the clouds rang out.

"Hide, there's a demon slayer coming. The clouds warned Zhang Haotian.

As soon as he heard the demon slayer master, Zhang Haotian could not care about seeing He Qingshi. Immediately flashed into the corner, and there happened to be a door in the corner, and I don't know where it leads.

He Qingshi and the Demon Slayer seemed to stop at the door, and seemed to be a little surprised that the door was opened.

"Is there anyone?" He Qingshi shouted.

How could Zhang Haotian answer, at this time, there was a demon slayer standing next to He Qingshi, Zhang Haotian did not let go of this gap, and unscrewed the door behind him.

He Qingshi, who came back suddenly, and the demon slayer really made Zhang Haotian frightened, and he hurriedly hid in another door, it was pitch black behind the door, and there seemed to be no one, just to hide.

Zhang Haotian never expected that there would be a demon slayer who would follow He Qingshi to the lounge, so he was very worried that the cloud in the shadow of the robe just now would be detected by the demon slayer, but there was no sign of this yet, and the two demon slayer just now also missed them, it seems that the shadow seepage technique in the cloud does have the effect of circumventing the demon slayer's detection talisman.

Zhang Haotian leaned his back against the door and heard the sound of both of them sitting down, and then the sound of He Qingshi's conversation with the demon slayer came over, and the voice of the demon slayer talking to He Qingshi sounded very familiar, so Zhang Haotian put his ear close to the door, wanting to hear what they were saying.

"I didn't expect the Zhang family to send a little hairy boy to complete this transaction with me, obviously Zhang Jin himself entrusted me, but didn't he personally come to reward me?"

"Don't call me a little hairy boy, the family sent me to practice, Zhang Jin is my grandfather, and he personally asked me to bring things to you. ”

No wonder the voice sounded so familiar, it turned out to be Zhang Jie, the grandson of the four elders, he didn't expect to see him here, Zhang Haotian remembered that he was greatly stimulated by the Beast Spirit Tower, and now it seems that after a year and a half, his spirit is much better. Judging from what they said, Zhang Haotian probably guessed what deal He Qingshi had made with the four elders, and he didn't know if it was related to the speech just now.
