Chapter 23, the bloodline of the family, the power of service, and the demon element
Before leaving, Chen Peng set fire to Hejiazhuang.
Flames burned, and billowing smoke covered the sky.
More than two hundred lives, burning in the flames, emitted a scorching and unpleasant smell.
Xing Meng looked back, his heart sad.
If Zhou Chuan hadn't used the method of cutting flesh and bloodletting to explore the demons, so many people would not have died. He had pinned his hopes on the Demon Slayer Division before, but now it seems that the Demon Slayer Division is just an institution.
Since it is an institution, there are good people and scum in it.
There is a conflict of interest.
However, although he was very unhappy with what happened today, there was nothing he could do.
These are too far away for him, and the strength of demon slayers and demons is very strong.
Especially their bodies, which are so resilient, don't look like normal humans at all.
You must know that Xing Meng himself, whether it is military combat fist or hammer body technique, has been promoted to the top level by him through the converter, and has also been deduced to a new level, which is already many times stronger than most hard skills.
Moreover, the internal skill of Changchun Guiyuan Gong has also been promoted to the fifth layer, and it also belongs to the level of deep internal force in the acquired realm.
Even so, he only caused damage to Zhou Chuan when he was seriously injured and he was unprepared to attack him.
If it was a serious face-to-face battle, he would definitely not be an opponent.
"Are you wondering why we're so strong?" On the way, Chen Peng looked at Xing Meng, who was thinking, and said with a light smile.
"Yes." Xing Meng replied honestly.
"Actually, it's not a secret, Hanjiang County is a small place after all, if you go up, it will be clear." Chen Peng said: "Because, we use different forces. ”
"The power is different?" Xing Meng's eyes tightened, he didn't expect this answer.
"Yes. The cultivation of a martial artist is a way of quenching the body, the day after tomorrow, and the innate way, but above the innate one, do you know what it is? Chen Peng asked.
Xing Meng shook his head.
"Above the innate level, there is no realm." Chen Peng said lightly.
"How could it not be?" Xing Meng's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Because the highest realm of martial arts training is the innate realm, and so far, no one has explored the realm above the innate realm." Chen Peng looked at Xing Meng with some pity.
He could see that Xing Meng's martial arts talent was very strong, and he had reached the acquired level, and it was very likely that he would be born in the future. But he can only stop at the innate realm.
This is a huge blow to anyone who is interested in improving their strength.
"And what is your power?" To Chen Peng's surprise, there was no trace of pessimism in Xing Meng's eyes.
"What we cultivate is the power of service, this power comes from the bloodline, and only the bloodline of the family can inherit this power. The descendants of each family must be baptized when they are ten years old, awaken the power of service in their bloodlines, and then begin to cultivate. The higher the concentration of awakened service power, the faster the cultivation in the future, and the greater the potential. It is precisely because of the existence of this power that the Demon Slayer Division can compete with demons and protect Dasheng. ”
Chen Peng said lightly.
"Can only be inherited by blood?" Xing Meng was slightly stunned, isn't this a bloodline monopoly? Just like in the future sci-fi blockbuster I watched in my previous life, human beings are divided into three, six, nine and so on by the advantages and disadvantages of their genes.
If this so-called power of service only exists in the bloodline of the family, then the controller of this world can only be the family forever!
"Yes, so the family and the secular dynasty are actually ruling the world together. On the surface, it is dominated by the royal family, but the family also has great dominance. ”
Li Xian Ling also answered: "The demon slayers in the Demon Slaying Division are all members of the family, so the status of the Demon Slaying Division is respected, and it is equal to the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Households.
Even, in some respects, the status is more than six. ”
Hearing this, Xing Meng fell silent.
"The power of service, why can it only be inherited by the bloodline of the family? What is the difference with the internal force cultivated by a martial artist? Xing Meng asked suddenly.
"I don't know, but since ancient times, it has been passed down only by the family. As for the difference with internal forces, it is actually a qualitative difference.
For example, the internal force of martial arts is pig iron, so the power of our service is stainless steel, which can easily cut pig iron. ”
Chen Peng said.
"That's ......"
Xing Meng lowered his head and pondered.
No wonder, Zhou Chuan and Chen Peng looked at him with some pity in their eyes. It turned out to be a warrior like him, no matter how hard he tried, the ceiling was already doomed, and fate was destined to be unable to break through the shackles of the ceiling.
Soon, the city wall of Hanjiang County was in sight. Seeing a few people coming on horseback, the guards at the gate of the city saw that Li Xianling's right arm was only half left, still dripping blood, and immediately exclaimed: "My lord! ”
Several people hurriedly came over and helped Li Xian Ling off his horse.
Chen Peng's eyes narrowed slightly, he took the demon hunting plate and looked at it, and said coldly: "There is still the demon breath just now in the city, it should be the stronghold of the Wusheng Sect, hum!" The demons are all dead, I see who is not long-sighted, and actually dares to take refuge in the Wusheng Sect and collude with the demons! ”
After saying that, he rode away.
……
……
Xing Meng didn't go with him, and went straight back to Xing's mansion.
His body was damaged, which really scared Xing Gui'an enough, and he hurriedly invited a doctor for treatment.
However, after all, Xing Meng has a solid foundation of hard skills, and his internal strength is not shallow, although he was injured, he was not injured to the root, but he just needed to recuperate.
The doctor prescribed two prescriptions and left.
Xing Meng told Xing Gui'an about Hejiazhuang in accordance with the words of collusion with Chen Peng and Li Xianling.
Naturally, it's not that he can't believe his father, but this matter involves the death of the demon slayer, and the Nanzhou Mansion above, or the branch of the Demon Slaying Division of the Nanzhou Mansion, will also send people to investigate, and the relevant personnel will be investigated clearly.
If he told Xing Gui'an the truth, if the stuffing was revealed, the entire Xing family would have to suffer a catastrophe.
As long as you keep your mouth shut, you don't have to worry about anything else.
On the side of the Demon Slaying Division, there is Chen Peng to deal with, and there is also the testimony of Li County Order of Hanjiang County, so there is basically no problem.
Coupled with the appearance of medium demons, it is normal to die two demon slayers.
In the process of talking with Chen Peng on the road, Xing Meng also learned some information.
The strength of the demon slayer is divided into one to nine grades, which is called the "nine-rank demon slaying system". Corresponds to the level of the demon.
Demons are divided into low-level demons, medium-level demons, high-level demons, big demons, Xuanhuang-level demons, star-level demons, Chen-level demons, heaven-level demons, and saint-level demons.
Xing Meng estimated that his strength was almost equivalent to the peak of the first grade of the Demon Slayer, but the power of the Demon Slayer's cultivation and recovery power were too strong, and if he fought head-on, he would definitely not be pleased.
"The limit of martial arts is the innate realm, above the innate realm, the road will be broken......" Xing Meng sat on the bed, with a thick bandage wrapped around his waist, his fingers tapping on his temples, constantly thinking.
There are monsters in this world, and there are demons, he originally thought that his converter would be a powerful golden finger, relying on the converter to quickly improve his strength, at least in this world to be able to protect himself, and protect his family.
Can ...... now Xing Meng found that this world is too pitiful!
The so-called power of service, only the bloodline of the family can be inherited and cultivated, doesn't that mean that in this world, the power is always controlled by those high-ranking family tyrants?
He doesn't want to be a lamb to the slaughter, but if you were born destined to be a lamb, then ...... How?!
The wealthy lords of the family have the bloodline inheritance of the power of servitude, and they are wolves from birth, and ordinary people are born sheep. If it's something else, there can still be a chance to change, but the bloodline inheritance, that is, innate, there is no possibility of change at all.
"First improve my strength to the innate realm, I have a converter, so I may not be able to go on the road of martial arts. And ......"
Xing Meng's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed: "Even if the power of the family bloodline is terrifying, it is not immortal. ”
