The courses taught by Fengxian Mountain to the rangers are mainly divided into four categories: "heart", "body", "qi" and "technique". However, there were about six hundred ranger apprentices on Fengxian Mountain, and there were only thirty or forty people who could insist on going to the Guanxin Hall in the early morning to listen to the teachings of the instructor Qin Baihu every day.

After all, they are all written and ink etiquette, and it is understandable that they are not taken seriously in the era of advocating force.

It was still early when Huang Yan came to the Contemplation Hall, and there were almost no people around. He began to look through the books he had just picked up:

"Foreign Objects", the author Feng Jianyao, is divided into two volumes, namely "non-human" and "square things", the former mainly introduces creatures, that is, demon beasts, holy spirits, evil ghosts, and rarely mentions some things about the gods; the latter mainly talks about artifacts, that is, weapons, magic weapons, protective gear, materials, etc., which also includes some special items.

"Near and Far Distance", the author Zhen Youshi, mainly talks about astronomy and geography.

"History after the Ghost Tribulation", the author Qin Baihu, Feng Jianyao, which records the relevant history since the first year of the ghost catastrophe.

"Ranger", written by Qi Xian, mainly describes the relevant tasks, activities and rules of the Ranger, and also includes the main existing Ranger organizations and a few other organizations, among which the "Xianting" faction Ranger has the most records.

Huang Yan looked at the title and author of the book, and stacked the book on top of each other, five copies, but high enough to block his view. He couldn't help but say to himself, "I don't know how long it will take to finish reading." ”

"Maybe a month or two. A voice replied from behind.

Huang Yan turned his head and saw that the speaker was a long-haired woman, who should be about the same age as himself, with slender eyes and a very delicate face. She didn't look up, still looking at the book in her hand.

"It's hard to finish reading these books in a month or two. Huang said, but seeing that the speed of the woman in front of him was indeed not slow.

"Once you get used to it, you won't be slow. The woman said.

"Are you an apprentice?" Huang Yan looked at the woman in front of him seriously, feeling a little familiar.

"No, I am responsible for managing the expenses and accounts on Fengxian Mountain on weekdays, and when I have nothing to do, I will come to the Guanxin Hall to listen to Mr. Qin's teaching. The woman turned her head to the side and said, "But this time I came because I accidentally saw a few figures that are not common here." ”

Huang Yan followed the woman's gaze and saw four men in black with the word "Yu" on their bodies, looking towards him from time to time, and then whispering.

I don't know who it is, but disgust is Huang Yan's first impression of them......

The number of people in the Contemplation Hall gradually increased, and Qin Baihu began to teach:

――

On March 6, 127 of the Ghost Tribulation, that is, today, everyone here already knows that there is a creature called "dragon" in this world, and there are many records in "Foreign Objects: Inhuman": for example, "Ice Festival", which is called the dragon of the god of water, "Mirage", which haunts the top of the thousand-year-old tree, and "Green Dragon", one of the four sacred beasts......

However, although the existence of dragons has become common knowledge today, a long time ago, dragons were just legends in people's mouths, and no one has actually seen them.

The reason is that people at that time had not yet entered the "other world", in other words, places such as Sixiang Mountain and Colorless Valley were not classified as "mortal" during that period, and naturally no one would have seen dragons.

However, this was later completely broken by a clan.

At that time, this clan completely disregarded the safety of thousands of mortal soldiers, and insisted on marching into the otherworld, so that the otherworldly creatures that had nothing to do with us were drawn into the war, and some "dragons" also came into contact with mortals at that time - and took the initiative to kill countless mortals.

In the end, although the clan led the people to successfully open up a large territory, it did so at the expense of the lives of millions of mortals and otherworldly creatures.

This clan is the "Yugong clan".

――

The apprentices in the Guanxin Hall were all listening carefully, but when Qin Baihu said the words "Yu Palace Clan", someone suddenly shouted "hero", and then a few more people cheered.

Everyone looked over the side where the voice came from and found that it was the four men in black with triumphant expressions.

Qin Baihu ignored it and continued.

――

Although the Yugong clan opened up territory for the mortal world, it was done in the most egregious form of armed invasion, and it is no wonder that people named this clan "human tyrants".

And when the mortal world was opened up to the other world, all kinds of "dragons" entered the mortal world and appeared in people's field of vision.

Some of the dragons are kind, or at least indisputable, such as the aforementioned water god "Ice Festival", who once carried out many large-scale rains on the arid "White Bone Desert" to help the people who lived there.

However, there are also some dragons who are very warlike, even extremely ferocious, they have a strong hostility to mortals, and have attacked the mortal world many times, causing a lot of damage to the mortal world.

"Fierce Spine", the record in "Foreign Objects: Inhuman" is: "The black-scaled demon beast is bigger than the evil ghost, ruthless in nature than the evil ghost, stronger than the evil ghost, enough to destroy the world and the earth, the ninth order, and extremely fierce." ”

――

At this point, someone asks:

"Teacher Qin, I haven't seen a creature of the 'fierce' level in 'Foreign Objects', and I can't find this Black Dragon King's 'fierce vertebrae', are you mistaken?"

Huang Zheng also flipped through the book and saw that there was a chapter in it that listed the danger levels of all creatures: "bad, harmful, evil, afflicted, evil, and calamity", and under each level, there were four sub-levels of "small, medium, large, and extreme".

Qin Baihu said: "This is because what you hold in your hands is not the complete 'Records of Foreign Objects' - in the complete book, in addition to the six dangerous levels of creatures of 'bad, harmful, evil, afflicted, evil, and calamity', there are also six other levels of 'ghost, fierce, mourning, burial, extermination, and demon'.

Moreover, after the 'ghost' level, each level is no longer just like the previous six levels, but is divided into four sub-levels of 'small, medium, large, and extreme', but is divided into ten numerical levels from 'one' to 'ten' under each sub-level, for example, the creatures below the 'ghost' level - like the steel-skinned bear living in the wild area of Fengxian Mountain, are 'medium bad', and there is no numerical level, and the 'fierce vertebrae' just mentioned is the 'ninth-order extreme evil', because the 'evil' is ranked above the 'ghost', so there are more' 'Ninth Order'. ”

Some of the apprentices said it was too complicated.

Qin Baihu said with a smile: "The reason why there are so many levels is because among the creatures recorded after the 'ghost' level, there are few demon beasts and holy spirits, almost all of them are evil ghosts, and the evil ghosts are not only numerous, but the difference in the danger level between their individuals has also begun to increase significantly, if the classification is not complete, it will lead to very disastrous consequences." ”

"Then—" asked a female apprentice, in a long voice, "why isn't the book given to us complete?"

"Because ......" Qin Baihu paused and said, "You might as well turn the 'Foreign Object Chronicles: Inhuman' in your hand to page 410 and take a look at the drawing of the 'Ghost Dao Human Yin Beard' at the 'Extreme Calamity' level." ”

As soon as Qin Baihu spoke, there was a burst of sound of turning books in the hall, and it seemed that many apprentices had not carefully studied the books in their hands, so they were quite interested in the question of "what does the strongest demon in this book look like". But the strange thing is that Huang Ji noticed that some people were staring at the picture for a while, and immediately closed the book with a strange expression. Of course, this aroused Huang Yan's curiosity, and he also turned the "Foreign Object Chronicles: Inhuman" in his hand to page 410 -

Obscene, malicious, ugly, dark, blasphemous - when Huang Jian saw the picture of "Yin Whisker", he immediately felt a burst of terrifying images passed from the book, as if the monster in the picture stretched out its sticky tongue and messed around on his body and brain...... Huang Yan also immediately turned the book to other pages.

As if he had already expected this scene, Qin Baihu said: "Do you understand? The drawings in the book "Records of Foreign Objects" are all drawn by the "Painting Saint" Umbrella Youluo, who is known as one of the 'Ten Wanderings', and her 'technique' - 'Drawing' can not only make the same painting be copied into thousands of identical paintings in an instant, but also convey the true sense of existence of the painted object to the person who looks at it through the drawing......

It is estimated that some of you have just experienced the terrible thing about the 'Yin Beard' of the Ghost Dao - you can't look at it directly, right? There are also evil ghosts that are dozens or even nearly a hundred times stronger than the Yin Beard, so if you are shown the pictures after the 'Calamity' level, you may have a mental breakdown, or even die. ”

Hearing this, for a moment, the contemplation hall was completely silent.

A man choked up in his throat and said to himself, "Is this the so-called reading a book and seeing death?"

Hearing this sentence on an extremely serious occasion, several people couldn't help but laugh, so the apprentices relaxed again.

"Then just remove the picture and leave only the text, right?" asked Huang Yan.

"It's indeed feasible," Qin Baihu looked at Huang Zheng, nodded, and said, "But the reason why I didn't do this is for two reasons: first, the biggest significance of the book "Foreign Body: Inhuman" is to show the true appearance of the 'foreign body' to the viewer, and if there is no picture of the umbrella Youluo, it will not be possible for the viewer to measure the actual gap between himself and the enemy.

The second reason is that most of you here will not have the opportunity to come into contact with an enemy above the 'disaster' level in the future. ”

"Why is that?" someone asked.

Qin Baihu seemed to sigh and said, "After you leave Fengxian Mountain, you may know." ”

He didn't seem to want to continue, so he picked up his book again and prepared to continue teaching.

"Is it because some people are like you, who don't have the courage to go to war outside the border, but hide here to talk about war?"

Then there was a burst of laughter, and all the people who followed the sound saw that it was the four men in black again.

Qin Baihu didn't seem to hear it, ignored them, and continued to speak: "Back to the previous content--the fierce spine ...... at that time"

"Mr. Qin Baihu, I heard that you left Fengxian Mountain with Feng Wanyao and them in the past, but why did you come back quietly?"

"I think it's because he can only preach, not fight, and others are afraid that he will drag his feet so they let him come back first!"

The more the men in black talked, the more they went too far, and one of them put his legs on the table and said, "What's the use of studying these histories and methods these days, I don't think it's better to ...... Yikes!"

A knife flew suddenly and slammed into the man's legs on the table, shocking the man and sliding his body to the ground.

"Don't make a noise, I want to hear about the rest of the story. ”

Everyone looked at the person who spoke.

It was Huang Yan, who had just withdrawn his right hand from throwing the throwing knife.

Huang Yan didn't look at the men in black again, but just asked Qin Baihu:

"Teacher Qin, what happened after that, how happened to the fierce vertebrae?"
