Chapter 5: The Demon Atlas
"Ten Categories: Nine Lives Cat Demon."
"Thirty years."
"Status: Recorded."
"Get Reward: Passage to the Shadows!"
……
A series of words rang out in my head.
When he came back to his senses, Wang Xiao found himself back in a dilapidated wooden house.
There is an extra quaint gray booklet in his hand, and the cover is written with four mysterious characters of "Demon Atlas", which is full of light and soul-stirring.
Wang Xiao's eyes were in a trance, and he carefully felt the new spells that had appeared in his mind.
"Penetrating the Shadows: Exploring the Ghosts and Gods, and Communicating the Art of the Netherworld!"
Although it's just a subtle spell that communicates with ghosts and gods.
Wang Xiao was not discouraged.
Now that Goldfinger has finally appeared, it seems that you can get a reward for killing demons.
This trip out of Beijing is a long journey, so why worry about not having a chance.
Forget about that for now.
Wang Xiao's attention was attracted by the demon atlas in his hand.
Flip to the only page that isn't blank.
There was a snow-white kitten on it that was exactly the same as in Bai Yunshu's memories.
In the middle of the page, it curled up quietly on a stone slab, looking peaceful, as if it was sleeping soundly.
Wang Xiao's eyes became firm, and he muttered to himself: "You have to repay the favor, that's right." ”
"But I want to live."
"Here's the matter, cause and effect are clear."
With a thought, he put away the demon album.
Look at the only thing left on the ground with a long dress and bloodstains.
Wang Xiao has no regrets.
Although Bai Yunshu is a good demon, he has never hurt anyone's life before and after his transformation.
can think of gods and demons.
In order to maintain Wu Shun's soul, he chose to plunder the yang energy of the living, which was a dangerous beginning!
Wang Xiao is not the Holy Mother of the White Lotus, and the other party threatens his life.
If you have the ability to strangle, you will never be soft!
……
"Poor...... Bad master, what's going on? ”
A trembling sound of surprise interrupted Wang Xiao's thoughts.
Orion Wu Shun didn't know when he came outside.
Under the spell of Tranquility, Wang Xiao could see that the lower legs of his soul body had disappeared, and the upper half of his body was also gray and translucent.
"Poor master, have you seen the cheap?" Wu Shun asked.
Wang Xiao looked at the other party for a while, and finally shouted in a deep voice: "Don't wake up yet!" ”
There was an angry shout, as if a thunderclap exploded in Wu Shun's heart.
He was stunned, his hazy face squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and asked in a low voice: "Dare to ask the poor master, my lady is her...... What's going on? ”
"Do you know that you are already dead, and you were only living in a fantasy set up by demons!" Wang Xiao's brows furrowed deeply.
The moment Bai Yunshu was killed, the illusion set up was shattered.
Wu Shun nodded and said, "The little one knows." ”
"But in today's world, living is no better than dying."
"At least after he dies, the little one can still have a daughter-in-law, although it was a dream, and now it is broken."
"You said that if I hadn't had you, would I have dreamed for a long time......
Wu Shun chattered, Wang Xiao listened and was silent for a long time.
Long.
Maybe it's the end of the talk.
whispered to Wang Xiao: "Poor master, in fact, the little one doesn't complain about you. ”
"Although we haven't read a book, we also know the truth that people and ghosts have different paths, but after a lifetime, we finally found out that we had died early, and the lady we married was just a dream, so we were a little unwilling."
"I don't have much hope in my life, but I don't know how my little sister is doing in the county."
"If you have time to pass by Anping County one day, it's best to help the little one inquire."
"The little one is here first, thank you for the errand."
After speaking, he gave Wang Xiao a deep bow.
"Definitely!" Wang Xiao responded with a fist.
A breeze blows.
Wu Shun's soul body disappeared with the wind.
"Whew..."
It's finally over.
Wang Xiaochang let out a breath of turbidity.
Tossing for half a night, it can be regarded as a stop.
Wu Shun was stimulated and did not become a ghost, which made Wang Xiao feel a lot more at ease.
It's cold outside.
In the middle of the night, Wang Xiao didn't want to sleep in the mountains.
So I found a corner in the wooden house, cleaned the dust, and prepared to take a nap.
His gaze swept over a clay pot on the fire, and his face suddenly turned pale and bloodless.
When I got closer, I couldn't hold back the overturning of the river and the sea in my stomach anymore, and I vomited it when I opened my mouth.
The snakes, insects, rats and ants in the pot, as well as the maggots with white flowers, are they not the same broth that I drank two bowls of before?
Which says maggots have five times more protein than beef?
Come here, labor and management will show you a baby!
……
Vertical day.
The sky was bright.
Wang Xiao followed the direction in his memory and hurried to the first stop of the census in another world, Anping County.
There was no rush to the county government to contact.
Instead, I found an inn to settle down in.
Instructed the shopkeeper to prepare hot water for a shower, and after washing off the filth on his body, he fell asleep.
It wasn't until noon that I was woken up by the sound of the next room.
It seems that the quarrel is against the master and the apprentice.
"I said, master, let's trek all the way through the mountains and rivers, aren't we here just to kill demons?"
"Didn't the yamen notice say that the second son of the Jiang family was infected with evil spirits, and he was offering a heavy reward for exorcising ghosts."
"If so, what does it have to do with us?"
"It's a big deal!"
"Solid silver!"
"If you report your name, you can get five taels of silver, and if you successfully exorcise evil spirits, you will have a full hundred taels!"
"Master, why did you just take a look and run away, even if you can't take that evil thing, isn't it good for us to report a name and accompany a foil and take ten taels of silver as a plate?"
"I see a lot of bald donkeys and rangers have signed up."
"Fool, the silver is good, but it has to be a life flower!"
"Entangled with the second son of the Jiang family...... Forget it, I don't understand it when I tell you. ”
"Go, go, don't disturb the poor dream anymore!"
"But master, our last entanglement is used to live in the hotel, what is good to eat at noon......"
……
Haunted by evil?
Don't you know to report to the Demon Suppression Division?
Wang Xiao listened attentively for a while, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
But when you go out, you don't know each other, and it's not easy to go up and ask.
I had to pay attention to myself, thinking that when I was free, I would have the opportunity to inquire again.
I got up and cleaned up.
After checking out, I ordered a few light side dishes and dealt with the five internal organs temple at will.
Wang Xiao went out and prepared to go to the county office.
Although he was sent out of the capital and became a census taker in another world, he did not want to go to the village to register.
These drudgeries are the responsibility of the local yamen, and the soap officials register the household posts.
Wang Xiao only needs to be responsible for compiling and summarizing.
Anping County is one of the many areas he is responsible for.
When he came to the county office, Wang Xiao showed the official document.
The main book of a person with the same surname Wang was taken to the back hall, and after pouring a belly of tea, he was told that the people of Zhixian County were not in the yamen.
"The emperor's order is here, how can it be delayed!"
Wang Xiao went straight to the point: "Master Wang, may I ask where is the county magistrate?" Why don't you come to the yamen on duty! ”
Master Wang said: "Zhixian They have some things that they can't take out for the time being, please forgive me." ”
Wang Xiao glanced at the other party and said, "Oh, what kind of thing can be more important than the imperial court policy?" ”
"This ......," the king said, with a sad face.
After a long time, he said: "I don't know if you have seen a notice when you entered the city today?" ”
