Chapter 3 There are demons infested
In the Chashan Fort, there are people patrolling day and night.
In addition to a team of village warriors, there are also ten powerful warriors, roaming around the various areas with lanterns.
As they passed through the area of the workshop, they heard the sound of striking iron.
"Bell, bell!"
"Huh? Who is still striking iron so late? The first one-eyed warrior asked left and right.
The bystander replied: "There should be craftsmen rushing to work late at night......"
They followed the sound and came to the outside of the smelting and blacksmithing yard, and looked inside, and there were rows of blacksmith shops, only one of which was lit, and the furnace was bright in the night.
I saw a young man from afar, his expression was focused, his muscles were tense, and he struggled to hammer ...... He forged one round, then quenched, and when it was time to temper, he kept hitting another piece.
This is repeated without the slightest intention of resting.
"Oh, I remember him," said one of the warriors, "this boy offended Steward Liao and was punished for dinner, and Steward Liao made him beat the iron all night and forbade him to sleep." ”
"Why?" The one-eyed warrior asked.
The others replied: "Don't we know about Steward Liao?" Villain one! So I'm not surprised that someone is being punished and not allowed to rest. ”
The one-eyed warrior chuckled, neither food nor sleep, and doing such heavy physical work, just to kill people.
Don't the boy know? It's a big night, and no one cares about it, so I don't know how lazy it is? Solid eyes, huh?
But he muttered for a moment, and he didn't have much to do, and led people to continue patrolling: "Be vigilant, there have been monsters in Chashan recently." ”
"Sect Leader Ma, are there really monsters?" An emaciated warrior asked.
"Really!" Ma Jiaotou touched the cloth covering his left eye, and said solemnly: "And the demonic spirit is terrifying!" The castle lord personally went up the mountain to test it, and it may be the ...... of the divine consciousness period."
"Shhh
Hearing the three words of the Divine Consciousness Period, many martial artists present looked nervous, which was definitely a big demon for martial artists.
"Don't panic, the castle is very popular, what are we so many martial artists afraid of? And the castle owner is noble, the monsters dare not do harm, and we are all registered in the military, and the castle owner expects that even if the monster comes, it will be a big deal to eat a few untouchables. Ma Jiaotou's tone was calm.
The emaciated warrior said worriedly, "But ...... What if the monsters ignore the red dust and fire and have to eat us? ”
Ma Jiaotou laughed: "Those who practice martial arts like us are indeed making great gains, but the backlash of red dust and fire is even more harmful, and the disadvantages outweigh the benefits, so why bother?" ”
"The monk uses mana to kill a sergeant with formation, if there is no special secret method to resolve it, it is estimated that the Taoist practice will be damaged by the red dust and fire for a year."
"What is this concept? The most famous power in the world, Penglai Daxian An deceived life, and began to cultivate since the pre-Qin period, and to this day there are five or six hundred years of Taoism. This...... That's enough to kill five or six hundred soldiers......"
"A hundred years ago, Jiangdong's little overlord Sun Bofu was arrogant and arrogant, offended Yu Ji, a Taiping Taoist, and put him to death several times, but because the little overlord official visited Ji Taishou, attacked the Marquis of Wucheng, and even had a vague kingly atmosphere on one side, and the red dust and fire were not to mention seventy or eighty years of Taoism, so Yu Ji was only frightened by ghosts every night, plus secretly calculated, and operated mundane cause and effect to make him die violently."
The warriors nodded, they had all heard of this. The gate valve is hot, and the cold men are secondary, the non-commissioned officers are worse again, and the untouchables are the weakest.
If the immortals and demons are eaten by the red dust and fire, they will be burned and the realm will fall.
The emaciated martial artist said nervously: "The noble man is hot, and it is not necessarily that all evils will not invade. If you are displaced, hungry and cold, and reduced to the embarrassment of being a homeless, the red dust and fire will decline rapidly. ”
The expressions of everyone were solemn, and the red dust and fire were not static.
Now in the chaotic world, many noble families are in the middle of the road, many people are displaced, and the anger is even weaker, and then evil is everywhere!
The emaciated martial artist continued: "And I heard that there are many ways for the immortal family or the demon to weaken the red dust fire of our mortals? ”
Sect Leader Ma pouted: "There are indeed many ways...... Some aristocratic sons acted unscrupulously, stupid and helpless, and were cut red by monsters. ”
"But most of that was self-inflicted!"
The emaciated warrior looked confused: "Die by yourself? ”
Sect Leader Ma said: "There are many ways to weaken the Red Dust Fire, and the most serious is the curse oath!" is permanently irreversible. ”
"For example, the son of the Shen family in Leling back then loved to mess with flowers and grass. The monster made some tricks, saying that what kind of Wushan goddess was it, and she wanted to spend the joy of fish and water with him and be a fairy husband and wife forever...... And he believed! ”
"Then the monster coaxed her to swear to the sky indiscriminately, and the boy was lustful, and he made several vows and didn't do it, so he was cut ninety percent of the red dust and fire, and died in the hands of the monster."
The warriors laughed: "What a bold and reckless act, dare to swear to the heavens casually?" If this heavenly way still protects him, there will be ghosts. ”
"The sons of wealthy families should know that they can't swear at will......"
"He knows it above, but he doesn't know it below!"
"Hahaha! What a knife on the head of the color word! ”
The emaciated martial artist was a little surprised: "Sect Leader Ma is really well-informed, and even knows the secrets of such a wealthy family!" ”
Sect Leader Ma smiled smugly: "My Yanshan faction has been famous for a hundred years, how can I be in vain?" ”
Everyone is envious, although the Yanshan faction is now so wreckant that it has even lost the mountain gate, but it was indeed a famous faction before. Ma Jiaotou learned the art of Yanshan, and even the wealthy family was treated politely, which was naturally different from them.
The emaciated martial artist arched his hand and said: "I don't know what other taboos there are, please tell us about the head of the horse sect, so that I can wait for the crude martial artists to be able to beware of monsters." ”
"yes, yes...... Please also give me some advice, brothers! ”
Many of the martial artists present did not understand Hongchen Huo, so they asked for advice.
Sect Leader Ma was full of pride: "In this case, I will tell you...... Chop the red dust, can you know? ”
"Slash the red dust?" The warriors were at a loss.
Ma Jiaotou smiled: "You haven't thought about it, the emperor Lao'er obviously admires immortality, why don't you cultivate immortals?" ”
"Because there are no fairy bones?" The emaciated warrior replied.
Ma Jiaotou shook his head and said: "Let me put it another way, there are immortal bones in the royal family, why not be the emperor?" Even the immortal bones in the major wealthy families are not the heads of the family? The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all love to talk about the Tao of the Occult Dao, but none of them cultivate immortals? ”
"It's because the first step into the immortal path is to cut the red dust!"
"Kill yourself and become an outsider from now on!"
"They can't have any worldly power! In this way, you can use fairy bones! ”
"The quenching person cuts the red dust, activates the immortal bones, condenses the mana, and sees through the spirit, stepping into the immortal path, this is the spiritual period."
All the warriors are suddenly, but everyone is a hopeless immortal person, so this should be a story.
The emaciated warrior was puzzled, "What does this have to do with us?" We don't have immortal bones, can we also cut the red dust and fire? ”
"Yes!" Sect Leader Ma said in a deep voice: "Anyone can make a wish to the Heavenly Dao and cut off their own red dust and fire. ”
"In the past, the son of the Gao family in Pingcheng was bewitched by monsters, and after cutting the red dust, he was reduced to a ...... on a plate"
The warriors were dumbfounded: "This ...... That's stupid, isn't it? ”
Ma Jiaotou shook his head: "That son already has fairy bones, but he is young, and he has not yet quenched his body, and the monster helps him quench his body, and the two call him brothers, and the monster asks Childe to immediately cut the red dust and break through quickly, and Childe doesn't think much about it, so he ......."
The warriors glanced at each other: "Anyway, we don't have immortal bones, so we won't kill the red dust...... No one can coax us! ”
"Hongchenhuo doesn't have to be self-killing, others can also be killed!" The head of the horse sect glanced at them.
"What!" The crowd was shocked.
Ma Jiaotou continued: "There are three things that cut red dust, the first is the way of heaven! The second is the Son of Heaven! ”
"As long as the Son of Heaven has a formal prayer to the heavens, he can cut down the red dust and fire of anyone within the rule of the country! Well, if the family controls the government, it can be regarded as being able to do it with the hands of the Son of Heaven. ”
The emaciated warrior asked, "What about the third?" ”
"Of course, that's the magic weapon!" Ma Jiaotou longed: "It is said that the refining power of the Dao realm can refine a magic weapon containing the rhyme of the Heavenly Dao, and this thing can cut red dust. So don't really think that the immortals don't kill mortals, they just disdain it. ”
The emaciated warrior smiled: "Our monster here is not so powerful, is it?" But are there any other taboos? ”
"Haha yes, the power of the Dao realm, what kind of lofty existence is that? The monsters infested in the tea mountains don't want to reach it for the rest of their lives, so there is nothing to worry about cutting the red dust. ”
"That's right, Sect Leader Ma, let's talk about it simply."
The warriors laughed and walked to the barn.
Unexpectedly, the head of the horse sect turned pale: "There are easy ways, but what if you listen to the monsters?" ”
"If this monster is hidden in the shadows, and it just doesn't know how to cut off the red dust and fire! When I say this, it learns instead! ”
"Uh......" everyone's faces changed.
The head of the Ma Sect glanced at them suspiciously: "You have been coaxing, let me tell me how to cut off the red dust!" I almost took it lightly! ”
"Could it be that the youkai are among you?"
He paid attention to everyone's expressions, but everyone looked at the others nervously in astonishment.
The performances are all natural, and none of them resemble youkai.
"Sect Leader Ma, could it be a mistake?"
"We've worked together for many years, and we know each other well......"
They gossiped, and the head of the horse sect was irritable when he heard it, and shouted: "Enough! The demon will be the most confusing, who will talk nonsense and I will kill him! ”
Then he drew his sword and pointed at the emaciated warrior, his eyes sharp: "You! It was you who coaxed me from beginning to end, and it was you who encouraged me to say how to do it! ”
For a while, everyone looked at the emaciated warrior, and recalled, it was true!
The emaciated warrior's eyes widened, he stepped forward, and anxiously explained: "No, I'm just ......"
"Don't get the hell near me! Get on my knees! "The head of the horse sect has a strong sword in his hand, and the killing intent is awe-inspiring.
The emaciated warrior hurriedly knelt down with a puff: "My lord! It's not me! ”
Seeing that he really knelt down and didn't resist, Ma Jiaotou's face softened slightly: "It seems that it's not you, otherwise you will either shoot or run away at this time, how can you kneel?" ”
"Oh yes! It's not me! The emaciated warrior breathed a sigh of relief.
The head of the horse sect was in front of him, and he said coldly at the others: "What about you? Get down on your knees for me too! ”
Everyone knelt on the ground with brushes, but saw a young man walking out of the barn with two bundles of grass in his hands.
They all recognized that it was the young man they had seen not long ago.
This is a pariah, they must be unhappy before they were changed, how can they kneel down to him?
But now the situation is special, seeing that the young man did not hurry to get out of the way, and looked at them with curiosity, and accepted it calmly, all the warriors could only swallow this breath, and the top priority was to clarify themselves and find out the monster.
As for this pariah, kneel for him, kneel, and get through the matter before him.
But at this moment, the voice of the head of the horse sect suddenly became calm: "You are all so obedient, it seems that you are not monsters...... I am. ”
"You...... You! "The warriors are terrified.
"I'll go on, there's a little-known way to cut the red dust......"
"That year, the son of the Qu family in Beihai County was coaxed by monsters, thinking that a woodcutter in the mountains was a Taoist high immortal, and bowed to him, causing his body to weaken and become a dish of monsters."
"It turned out that the woodcutter was just a pariah, and he was displaced, terminally ill, and he scolded the sky angrily when he had nothing, causing the red dust and fire on his body to disappear and dissipate."
"And if you take the initiative to kneel down to the untouchables who have no red dust and fire at all, your own anger will pour out for thousands of miles."
The voice of the head of the horse sect was erratic, and even a terrifying and cold aura enveloped them like maggots on the tarsal bones, seeping into the bodies of all the warriors.
Hearing those words, all the warriors hurriedly wanted to stand up, but it was already too late, and they all felt weak under the cold air, and they couldn't stand up at all!
"Save ...... Help me! ”
"There are youkai!"
"Don't kill...... Don't kill me......"
"Gollum ......"
Their desperate wails spread from behind them like watery tentacles, sweeping through their bodies.
Soon everyone was wrapped in the water, floating in the air, struggling desperately.
Ma Jiaotou's voice became more and more like a woman, and his reminiscence tone was a little emotional: "Actually, the son of the Leling Shen family back then was not a man who messed with flowers and grass, but he really loved me." ”
"I made him swear ten oaths, and in the end he only cut ninety percent of the red dust...... It was only when I ate him that I realized that he had sworn to marry me, and that he was sincere. ”
"Alas, so in order to commemorate him, I have been called Shen Leling since then...... Giggle-hee-hee-hee-hee......"
The nine warriors trapped in the water were terrified and in extreme pain, and they only felt that their essence and spirit were being drained away.
The emaciated warrior stretched out his hand from the water to the untouchable boy and shouted, "Hurry up...... Call...... Person! ”
However, his voice couldn't break through this layer of water.
"Giggle...... Aren't we just patrols? Who else do you want to call? ”
"I took you around twice just now, and my divine sense shrouded me in a hundred feet, and there was no one else nearby except this young man."
"It's really lucky, as soon as I got in, I met a mortal without red dust and fire."
Shen Leling was still occupying the body of the head of the horse sect at this time, and countless streams of water were spreading out from behind the blindfold of the head of the horse sect.
And when using this demonic technique, the skin of the head of the horse sect was as white as a dead man, his pupils were dilated, and his body was stiff and dry, and it could be seen that he had been dead for a long time.
Gurgling, countless bubbles bubbled out of the water film, and the nine warriors stopped moving, as if they had been squeezed dry.
With a snap, the corpse fell to the ground, and it was shattered, crispy as a dead leaf in autumn.
"Hey! Young man, you are very miserable, there is not a trace of red dust and fire. Shen Leling was very happy, she was able to eliminate the nine martial artists so smoothly, because the young man in front of her was completely free of red dust and fire.
This is actually quite rare.
Wandering, embarrassed, and desperate life only weakens a person's red dust and fire, not erased.
As long as the background is okay, no matter how down, there will be a little guarantee. Many homeless, disaster victims, and untouchables, in fact, still have a trace of it, if they have been soldiers and officials before, then the guarantee is even more.
There are very few mortals in the world who are completely free of red dust and fire, and God knows what it is like to be born into a humble background...... Or do you often scold and play? She had only met one such 'forsaken person' in her life, and she soon fell ill and died, but she didn't expect to meet another one now, and she was physically strong and had true qi.
"Giggles, poor boy, it doesn't cost me anything to eat you." Shen Leling's voice vibrated out from the gurgling water.
A stream of water wrapped around the boy, strangled around his throat, and then circled upward, and finally formed a woman's face on the left side of the boy's ear.
The boy was curious, "Are you a monster?" ”
"......" Shen Leling laughed for a moment, and twisted the countless water tentacles a little suspiciously: Am I monster not obvious enough?
"That's right! I'm a youkai! Amazing demons! ”
The young man carefully looked at the countless water tentacles, and his expression was like looking at a rare animal: "I heard that youkai are cruel and vicious, so you will also whip me?" ”
"Whipping? Hahaha! Shen Leling trembled with laughter: "No, I will eat you!" ”
The young man's expression was solemn: "Will you die?" ”
Shen Leling was speechless, didn't he know that people would die if they were eaten?
At this time, the young man touched the water wrapped around his body, and then suddenly stretched out his tongue and licked it at her condensed face!
After licking it, I smashed my mouth and found that there was no taste.
"You!" Shen Leling had to retract the flow of water at once, the young man's behavior was too unexpected for her.
Stunned, he said, "Giggles...... I cannibalize countless people! Aren't you afraid of death, boy? ”
"Afraid! Don't eat me. ”
Shen Leling smiled: "Okay, then you have to listen to me, from now on, I will let you ...... Eh, why are you going! ”
"If you don't eat me, I'll talk about it tomorrow, I'm not free tonight, I still have to go to the iron!" When the boy heard that he didn't eat him, he ran away.
Shen Leling was stunned, what kind of fool is this? Do you want to strike iron when you see a monster?
No wonder they offend the steward, it's not unreasonable.
"Giggles, giggles...... Interesting. ”
She didn't chase after it, and she didn't want to eat this young man, after all, he was a fireless mortal, and only hungry and thirsty monsters would eat it, so she had to make good use of it.
In an instant, countless streams of water drilled back from the eye sockets, and the corpse of the horse sect leader slowly regained its blood color, and its pupils contracted again.
He smiled faintly, held his blindfold, cleaned up the scene, and ran away pretending to be panicked.
"There are youkai! There are youkai! ”
……
