Chapter Eighty-Eight: Demon Dao

"What?"

Hearing the word harmony, Lin Shouxi was stunned, danger was coming, he didn't understand why Sanhua Cat suddenly mentioned this, or let himself go to Mu Shijing and kiss...... How is this possible?

What is the disease of this little earth cat?

Sanhua Cat felt Lin Shouxi's suspicious gaze, and it hurriedly pushed the book over and gave an explanation:

"Look at this book!"

Lin Shouxi took the book, his fingers immediately touched the thick texture of the cover, he flipped it over, and found that it was the mysterious ancient scroll he helped Chen Ning's family transport, the ancient scroll had no title, revealing a wicked nature, and the words inside were like messy and crooked mosquito specimens sandwiched between the pages.

Sanhua Cat explains the contents of the book: "There is a phenomenon mentioned in this book, that is, the Godhead is unknown, but if you can do something incredible on a regular basis, then it is likely that it will really become your divine power. For example......"

"Say what you say?" Lin Shouxi immediately understood.

In other words, the previous two words may have been coincidences, but if there are enough such coincidences, the three-flowered cat will really be endowed with this ability!

"In that case, why don't you try a few more times? Blind cats can hit dead rats, and you should. Lin Shouxi closed the book.

"You ......" Sanhua Cat didn't care about being angry with him, and said weakly: "But, it's okay if you don't know this kind of thing, once you know it, you will have a utilitarian heart, I guess nothing will come true." ”

And the conditions for coming true are incredible, and common things like the sun rising and the moon setting, and the flowers blooming and blooming are obviously impossible.

"But what does this have to do with being close?" Lin Shouxi still didn't understand.

"Eh, have you forgotten, the deity made a prophecy at that time - you can find your wife." Sanhua Cat said expectantly.

"......" Lin Shouxi smashed the cat's head with an ancient scroll, "Aren't you unswervingly supporting me and my fiancΓ©e?" Is this a mutiny? ”

"Of course not. The fiancΓ©e is the main palace, and the holy son is the concubine, this is not the same and there is no conflict, you, you should be a little more open-minded. ”

Sanhua Cat's words were firm: "If I really have the ability to speak the law, then the deity can bring the murderer to justice, make the fog dissipate from the mountain, and let you reunite with Sister Zhenggong as soon as possible!" ”

"Don't think about it, I'm an old enemy with her, and even if I can agree, she won't agree." Lin Shouxi spoke calmly, his dark pupils revealing coldness.

"Rivals? Is it the enemy who sleeps overnight? Sanhua asked.

"......" Lin Shouxi felt that this cat and Xiaoyu should be able to hit it off at first sight.

Heqin is just a small episode of Sanhua Cat's whimsy, Lin Shouxi doesn't want to continue to talk about it, someone will die when night falls, as a future disciple of the Daomen, he doesn't allow demons to do it under his nose.

"Let's go, go to the demon village." Lin Shouxi perked up.

"What are you going to do in the Demon Village?" Sanhua Cat was puzzled: "Could it be that you think that the shadow is hidden in the demon village?" ”

The terrain of the demon village is complicated, and most of the houses are buried underground, so if the shadow is really hidden there, I am afraid that it will not be found.

"Go find the old man who made the black light and ask the wishing lamp." Lin Shouxi said.

"The military advisor is really smart!" Sanhua Cat suddenly brightened, "Few people know about the wishing lamp, and when we find Grandpa Deng, the murderer will have no escape." ”

After Sanhua Cat said this, Lin Shouxi immediately felt uneasy...... Accidents always happen when people feel that they are sure.

Unbeknownst to him, the cat immediately ran to the back of the house to fetch the silver coinsβ€”it was the result of his hard work this year.

"You're still diligent?" Lin Shouxi was shocked.

"Of course......" Sanhua Cat has no confidence, after all, its standard of diligence is ...... Don't make trouble for the Three Realms Village.

Sanhua Cat immediately sealed Lin Shouxi as the head of the household, and asked him to keep the only silver coin he had, and then the two secretly walked over the wall, sneaked into the demon village without anyone noticing, and touched the old man's house under the cover of a black bamboo forest.

Almost at the same time, screams rang out from inside the house, shaking the bamboo forest.

Not good......

Lin Shouxi and Sanhua Cat were both startled, and immediately slammed the door in.

Late.

There was a pool of blood on the ground, the old man was lying in a pool of blood, his eyes were white, his body was like a dead insect, his neck was almost severed, only the muscles and muscles were connected, and the back of his hand was full of scratches, but he still clamped a stone lamp like an eagle's hook...... It is the wishing lamp.

The murderer wanted to kill people and seize the lamp, but he was protected by him!

When the three-flowered cat was still shocked, Lin Shouxi had already grabbed the window and came to the tip of the bamboo in front of the house, the bamboo was bent, he stood on it and looked into the distance, and now there were only nests of monsters dotted around, and the murderer had already escaped without a trace.

Back in the house, Lin Shouxi broke the old man's finger one by one and took out the black lamp.

Thankfully, it's still there.

He spread out his hand, and the three-flowered cat hurriedly handed the silver coin to him with both paws, and Lin Shouxi threw it into the black light.

"Who is the murderer who killed Grandpa Wind?" Sanhua Cat couldn't wait to ask.

……

Early morning.

Mu Shijing led the demon army all the way north and returned to the devil's nest.

The Devil's Nest is north of Dragonscale, a black mountain range with a spire covered with snow, the Devil's Nest is a cave carved out of the mountain, it is like a huge head after the air is dried, the mountain is its horns, and the mountain path is its long scarlet tongue.

Mu Shijing is still thinking about last night's battle.

Lin Shouxi's ability to win was just luck...... She wanted to convince herself like that, but she couldn't. Combat is full of uncertainty, and life and death are a hammer deal, not swayed by emotions.

She can accept that she loses because she believes that she can catch up and turn what was once a roadblock into a stepping stone for herself.

But she couldn't accept that she lost to Lin Shouxi.

At the age of seven, she was determined to outdo him, and this obsession did not fade over time, but grew stronger.

If even Lin Shouxi can't win, how can she have the face to see her master?

In the soft and hanging black sleeves, the girl clenched her hands, and the killing intent emitted made the surrounding demon attendants feel frightened, and none of them dared to approach.

Only the death certificate pinned to her waist made a clear sound, it felt the girl's killing intent, and it sounded clearly, and expressed its full support.

Mu Shijing heard the sound of the sword, her cheeks suddenly lifted, and she remembered what Shizun had said to herself:

"The king wins the hearts of the people and the world, the swordsman gets the heart of the sword to become the avenue, the sword in your hand is your second heart, the heart of the sword is broken, and you will perish as a swordsman."

From this point of view, Lin Shouxi is obviously not a qualified swordsman.

Therefore, Mu Shijing must teach this unqualified swordsman a lesson, and at the same time, she must also take back her 'heart'.

Zhan Gong is not her sword, but Shizun's, which Shizun lent her when he learned that she was going to fight a decisive battle with her old enemy, she cherished this sword very much, and now that it is in the hands of the enemy, how can she feel at ease?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of more moments with her master.

Shizun also loves Zhan Gong very much, she puts Zhan Gong next to her pillow when she sleeps, and puts Zhan Gong on her lap when she rests. She said that the first time she saw Zhan Gong was when she was very young, and at that time she was familiar with Zhan Gong at first sight and recognized this sword as a weapon to accompany her life.

Shizun said that this was the blade that once slashed the gods, and it had its own pride, and in the hundreds of years before her, no one had ever been able to pull the Zhan Palace out of its sheath.

Shizun also said that if one day she died because of slaying a dragon, she would pass the sword to her favorite apprentice.

At that time, Mu Shijing was a little ashamed, because she was the only disciple of Shizun, and if nothing went wrong, this sword would fall into her hands sooner or later.

This is not just a sword, she also represents the will of the master and the sword heart of the immortals, and she is willing to pass it on.

It's just that one time later, Shizun was drinking in the snow and was so drunk that she was serving on the side, and she overheard a word from Shizun's mouth - hometown.

After the master woke up, he refused to admit it, and even wanted to destroy his memories by intoxicating her, which was called 'destroying the teacher'.

But Mu Shijing was born with a good amount of alcohol, and after drinking for a long time, her cheeks were only slightly red, this was the first and only time she saw Shizun angry, she asked Mu Shijing repeatedly, she didn't say anything else after drinking, Mu Shijing obviously answered truthfully, but she didn't believe it, and punished her for thinking about it in the name of drinking.

At that time, Mu Shijing suddenly realized that there seemed to be an unlost innocence in the graceful and exaggerated immortal jade body of Shizun.

This innocence is kind, and when Shizun occasionally shows it, he also advises her to be a good girl, even if Shizun is not around in the future, don't go astray.

Shizun's perennial exhortation really worked, she never thought of being a bad girl, and now she was persuaded to rebel.

If this is known to the master, I am afraid it will be another good fight.

But in the past ten years, her memories with Shizun are still pitiful, although she has been in the Daomen, but their real relationship together is only about seven days, and Shizun also has his own saying - it only takes seven days to teach a good apprentice.

She vaguely guessed that this was Shizun talking about her own experience.

Master's Master's Master...... That's the ancestor. She could often feel the loneliness of her master, and she wasn't sure if this loneliness came from her ancestor, but she was still curious about the legendary ancestor.

But these should be old things that have long been turned into dust, and if the master is silent, no one in the world can know anymore.

The Devil's Nest is in sight.

Mu Shijing retracted her thoughts, she comforted the death certificate on her waist, promised to help it avenge, and walked into the devil's nest.

She began to wonder what a son of a lair should do.

Let's go meet the Demon King first.

The Demon King of the Devil's Hive is said to be a man named 'Shadow', and the Shadow is so mysterious that legend has it that no one has ever seen its true face.

The demon general took her to the residence of the demon king, there was nothing else on the throne of the demon king, but a broken mirror, Mu Shijing walked along the crimson carpet to the mirror, she stared at the mirror, but only saw herself in it.

Her already fair skin was even paler, and the meridians around her neck were extremely pale cyan, which made her like a porcelain doll show a pitiful weakness, but this weakness was quickly precipitated by the coldness in her pupils.

"When you see this king, you still don't salute?"

In the mirror, a dark shadow emerges from the depths of the mirrored world, and a majestic voice emanates from it.

Mu Shijing stood in place, still trying to bring herself into the identity of the Holy Son of the Demon Gate, she originally wanted to bow as the villagers did it, but after thinking about it, she felt that this was not bad enough, so she sank her face and said coldly:

"I'm the Holy Son of the Scales Sect, what are you a Demon Nest Demon King, and you want me to kneel to you?"

"Bold!" The Demon King seemed to have never heard such rude words, and his voice was filled with anger.

"The fog has closed the mountain for a whole year, and the time limit stipulated by the sect has long passed, and you have not yet created Allah?" In Mu Shijing's fierce words, the last wisp of the girl's childishness was also shattered, "You remember, I didn't come to assist you, let alone serve you, I came...... Ask the sinful. ”

The black shadow in the mirror is like a flame in the wind, and its anger seems to burn through the entire mirror, burning the rude girl in front of it to ashes.

Mu Shijing just stood still, neither advancing nor retreating, and she didn't blink when she looked at the mirror.

"You haven't entered the realm of immortals, dare to be so rampant? The fog covers the mountain, no one will know what is happening here, and the identity of your Holy Son is just a useless blank slate! The Demon King's cold words came from it.

"Really?"

Mu Shijing asked lightly: "Then this blank paper, do you dare to tear it off?" ”

The mirror shook violently, as if a sharp hand would reach out at any moment to carry out the wrath of the demon king.

But the Demon King's anger did not translate into real harm, it seemed to be afraid of something.

The corners of Mu Shijing's lips were raised, and a smile was revealed, as if the Scales Sect had given her some magic weapon to restrain the Demon King.

The demon king stopped talking, this was a show of weakness in a sense, it originally thought that the other party would also take a step back, but it never thought that Mu Shijing liked this wanton feeling, and her intuition told her that the demon king in front of her was somewhat imprisoned, far less powerful than the legend, and in this case, she would not be merciful.

Under the Demon King's questioning, she directly removed the mirror from the throne, threw it to the ground, and sat on the throne herself.

She knew that she was doing this risky, in case there was really a heinous demon king in the mirror, she would be in danger now, but for some reason, she was unusually willful, as if something in her body was awakening, trying to push her to a throne that had been lonely for thousands of years.

She came to the throne, sat on her legs, supported her elbows, and looked at the gloomy ancient hall, for a moment everything was silent, even the flames in the mirror disappeared, as if she was kneeling for the arrival of Her Royal Highness the Empress.

This temperament was short-lived, fleeting, she closed her eyes, and soon felt tired, she stepped down from under the throne, her steps were slightly wrong, glowing with pure charm, she ignored the roar of the demon king in the mirror, walked out of the hall, and closed the door.

"Has His Highness seen such a magic weapon?"

Outside the door, an old woman with long eyebrows asked respectfully.

"Magic weapon?" Mu Shijing was puzzled.

"Yes, that mirror is the most precious magic weapon of the Devil's Nest, but it's a pity...... It's broken. The old woman shook her head and sighed.

Mu Shijing always felt that she had something to say, but when she asked again, the old woman seemed to be sick and couldn't say a complete word.

"How did she escape again?" Another old woman complained and ran out, explaining, "This old woman is a madman, I hope she didn't run into His Highness the Holy Son." ”

"Crazy?"

"Well, since that incident a year ago, she's gone crazy and can't wake up." The old woman shook her head and sighed.

Mu Shijing had a general understanding of what happened in the Demon Nest, and knew that Lord Allah had been stolen by the traitor Du Che a year ago and hid in the Three Realms Village.

She couldn't help but think of the cat beside Lin Shouxi who claimed to be the deity...... She didn't have much idea about the so-called Allah, but she still hoped that the legendary Allah would not be the useless three-flowered cat.

After fighting all night, she was a little tired, but instead of resting, she got up with fatigue and inspected the magic nest.

The Demon Nest is a gathering place for goblins, since the Demon Nest changed, the Demon King was trapped in the mirror and couldn't get out, the order of the Demon Nest was no longer presiding, chaotic, and cannibalism happened in different corners every day.

After a week of patrolling the Devil's Nest, Mu Shijing saw countless monsters eating each other, and she didn't understand why they did this.

"Your Highness the Holy Son, what does it mean that there is a difference between humans raising animals and demons raising animals?" A demon general faced Mu Shijing's question and gave an answer.

"Humans and demons are not of the same race, and demons are cultivated by animals, so they have their own differences." Mu Shijing replied.

"But the demon doesn't think he's an animal."

The demon general said: "Only a very small number of life in animals can become demons, at the moment of becoming demons, we are closer to humans than animals, just imagine, if a chicken demon will lay ten eggs to hatch, but none of them have the qualifications to become a goblin, then how will the chicken demon think of them?" Treat this group of twitters as your own offspring, or ...... Do you just treat them as pets or food in captivity? ”

When a demon with spiritual wisdom looks at his descendants who have not been able to open spiritual wisdom in his life, will he still regard it as his own kind, as a child?

Mu Shijing could not answer this question.

"So how do you do it?" Mu Shijing asked.

The demon general showed a look of surprise, and then he was relieved: "This is almost a common thing for the monsters, and the Holy Son has always been high and has never understood it. ”

Mu Shijing was noncommittal.

The demon general explained: "The monsters will gather them in one place during the annual breeding season, and several demons will hatch them together, and select the ones that are smart, and the rest will be released, cooked, or trained to be mounted for us to send, which is one of the ways of survival of demons." ”

"I see." Mu Shijing nodded lightly, but there was still a lingering shadow in his heart, "Kill your own children with your own hands, you ...... Is there really no feeling? ”

"Even if we cultivate to become demons, our blood is still cold, lizards and snakes are cold-blooded beings, and the ability to balance the temperature is a more luxurious thing than cultivation, and we have never done it for hundreds of millions of years."

The demon general said, smiled dryly, turned to lower his voice, and said: "What's more, the subordinate said earlier that the demon never thinks of himself as a beast, we feel that we are another kind of people. ”

"Why do demons have to be human?" Mu Shijing asked.

"A certain butterfly likes bright colors, so flowers will evolve brightly to attract them to honey, and animals will continue to evolve their fangs and claws and leather armor in order to fight in this cruel land, but after the birth of humans, they have lost their status, and the laws of survival have been rewritten......"

The demon general sighed and said: "It is like a lizard jumping into the sea, its finger bones into oars, its tail vertebrae into fins, like a fish, and then it can rule the deep blue sea and slaughter the old master in it, we have lived on this land for hundreds of millions of years, and we still want to continue to survive, and convergence with humans is our only way out." ”

Mu Shijing heard the helplessness behind the cruelty from the mouth of the demon general, she knew very little about the demon, so she was speechless.

The demon general said excitedly, it felt that since it could become the Holy Son of the Demon Nest, this stunning girl must also be a murderer, and it continued: "What's more, the cannibalism in the mouth of the Holy Son, how can it be interesting to torture and kill? ”

"Huh? Torture and murder? Mu Shijing's expression was still calm, but his eyes seemed to be precipitated with cold frost.

"Do you think this is ...... Is it common? The demon general misjudged the look of the Holy Son, thinking that it was contempt.

"Do all youkai like to torture and kill?" Mu Shijing asked.

"Not necessarily, some monsters still love to learn human etiquette, if it is said that demon cultivators are painting snakes, then their actions are enough...... No, not to mention the addition, to add centipedes. The demon general said disdainfully.

At this point, it suddenly realized that this Son seemed to be a human being, and it was so startled that it immediately wanted to ask for mercy, saying that its words were just a joke.

Mu Shijing smiled and said: "Demon thirst for killing, it's okay, so let's write all the evil things you have done, don't panic or exaggerate, I will personally evaluate the ten wicked people of the Demon Nest, and then ...... I will give you medals and other rewards. ”

"His Highness the Holy Son is indeed a fellow believer!"

The demon general's hanging heart fell again...... Sure enough, those who can become the holy sons of the demon nest are all cruel and murderous people, and under this beautiful fairy saint son, he is also an evil female demon!

"Well, let's give the order." Mu Shijing said lightly.

The demon general was ordered to leave.

Mu Shijing closed his eyes, and also closed the killing intent in his clear eyes.

She turned and walked away, and walked into the demonic lair, the soft hem of the black dress rippling in the breeze, and the calves wrapped in ice silk stockings loomed, like the moonlight that had not faded last night.

……

Lin Shouxi and Sanhua Cat walked towards Xiancun with gloomy expressions.

At this time, it was close to noon, and the Zhangong sword lit up again, and the whispering voice came from the sword, directly resounding in his mind.

"Master, Master, someone found it!" Xiao Yu said happily.

"The result?" Lin Shouxi hurriedly asked.

Xiao Yu didn't answer immediately, she shook her fingers and asked a question first: "Master, you will always be with me, right?" You won't leave the whispers behind, will you? ”

"Of course not, I will grow up with Xiaoyu." Lin Shouxi said softly.

"Well, that's good, I believe in Master!" A smile appeared on Xiao Yu's face.

After receiving the promise, she hurriedly informed the master of the results of the investigation:

"I have turned over all the documents of the Divine Shoushan Evil Slaying Division, among which there is indeed a Zhong family official who has been an official of the Evil Slaying Division for generations, but I have searched through it many times, but I have not found a single one named Zhong Wushi."
