Chapter 279: Judgment (2)
The hairpin looked at the statue of the pig in front of the White Tower.
For some reason, the first time she saw the statue, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, and it was the same now. The statue had a pair of dark and plain eyes, and she couldn't find half kindness in these eyes, only coolness.
Why does the divine beast that judges the sins of the world and controls the law have such cold eyes? There seems to be a hint of ill will.
She asked Mingjing beside her softly: "Master, who forged this hedgehog statue, and how long has it been guarding this white pagoda?" β
Mingjing didn't expect her to ask this, so she hesitated for a moment before replying: "The statue of the pig was cast by Master Jingshan himself. The statue is the first test, in case the guilty enter this tower, the original intention is not pure, take away the trial reward, and bring disaster to the people. β
"Woe to the common people......" Hairpin Star smiled: "But isn't the ghost tired of life also entering this tower?" Once he took away the trial reward, the common people were unlucky. Speaking of this, the hairpin star was suddenly stunned for a moment.
If the pig can really see the sins and the past in people's hearts and judge, then the ghost is disgusted with life can really pass the judgment of the pig, does it mean that the ghost is innocent? Could it be that the ghost is a madman who destroys the world on the surface, but is actually a great good man who saves the world? This world is not normal, just like she didn't do anything, she became the daughter of the demon king. It's not impossible that the ghost is disgusted with the outside and the outside.
Xiaoshuang stood aside and reminded the hairpin: "Your Highness, are we going to enter the tower now?" β
The demon exterminator army is almost inside, and it's time for the demons to take action. No, the demon slayer on the other end has already opened his mouth to taunt.
"Why haven't they gone in, are they scared?"
"You're stupid, they're demons, demons! They are all evil demons who kill people without blinking, and they can't be washed away by the yellow spring water of their sins, how dare they accept trial? β
"That's right, no wonder they don't dare to enter, if they really want to go in, they haven't entered the tower yet, they all have to explain in front of this statue, wouldn't it be ridiculous to say it!"
"This is called evil not prevailing over good!"
"I-" The demon clan at this end was not to be outdone, and looked at the demon exterminator and sneered: "You are high, you are powerful, you are the light of the righteous path, then you come in, you are all here, you are all at the door, how can you not touch the horns?" β
"It's just that, if you touch it, you won't lose a piece of meat, is it possible that you are afraid? Impossible! Everyone is a righteous disciple of the light wind and moon, what is there to fear. Could it be that it's the same as us demons, who do all the bad things in private and kill people like hemp? β
"You don't have more blood to spew people!"
"It's you tigers pretending to be monksβhuman-faced beast hearts!"
Seeing that the two ends were about to fight again, Hairpin turned his head sideways, looked at Xiaoshuang, and ordered in a low voice: "Let them stay away, I'll try it first." β
Xiao Shuang was stunned: "Does Your Highness think there is something wrong with this statue?" "They saw that many of the people who had slayer the demon army had passed smoothly, and they were also a little itchy. Although most of the demons are not good people, there are also peace-loving people who never do evil to others, and it is not impossible for these people to pass the statue.
Hairpin Xing looked at the statue of the pig, and his voice was slightly deep: "Although they say that the pig is guilty and innocent to judge the people who enter the tower, but the ghost is disgusted with Sheng Ming and Meng Ying, they are not the same kind of people, but they still enter this tower." It can be seen that the conditions for trial are not so simple. And......" Hairpin Star clenched the long stick in his hand: "We are demons...... In the eyes of the world, the demon race is born sinful. β
What is the innate demon clan in the eyes of this divine beast? Maybe they don't even need to look into their hearts, just by virtue of this identity, they are condemned to sin.
"I can't risk your lives," Hairpin Star clenched his grip on the stick and walked forward alone, "I'll try it first." β
"Your Highness!"
The voice behind her was forgotten by the hairpin, she looked into the eyes of the pig, took a deep breath, stretched out a hand, and grasped the statue's horn.
......
In the tower, someone stood on the first floor and did not continue to walk.
The people who were willing to enter the tower had already walked in, standing at the bottom of the tower, looking around.
A few people from the Taiyan faction stared in the direction of the door.
"Senior Sister Hairpin hasn't come in yet." Tian Fangfang said worriedly: "The people of the Demon Extermination Army have almost entered, and it is time for the Demon Clan's turn." β
"She won't be able to come in." Pu Zhu stood aside, and finally couldn't help but speak coldly: "She is a demon clan, she is born with sins, how can she enter?" β
"That ghost is also a demon, can't you also enter?" Tian Fangfang was a little displeased: "I said fellow practitioner Pu, when I was in Gufeng Mountain before, Senior Sister Hairpin also drank wine with you, even if you are a demon, you still have some friendship in the end." Do you have a problem with her? My junior sister doesn't seem to have offended you. β
"She's a demon," Pu Zhu's eyes were a little angry, and his tone became excited: "Are you a little too close to a demon?" β
"Because my junior sister is likable, others are happy to be close to her." Tian Fangfang glanced at Pu Zhu, and suddenly laughed, he was used to being a stupid good man, but now there was a sharp sharpness in his eyes, and he joked half-truthfully: "Pu Tongxiu, are you dissatisfied with my junior sister because she is a demon?" Or is it because my uncle is close to my sister and dissatisfied with her? β
As soon as these words came out, there was silence for a moment.
Pu Yu was stunned, a trace of embarrassment quickly climbed on his face, he stood in place, biting his lip tightly and refusing to speak, tears were about to fall. Meng Ying and Mu Jiexiao have always been silent, and they will not speak at all at this moment. And Gu Baiying was standing at the bottom of the tower with the embroidered bone gun, looking at the direction of the door, and didn't pay attention to the movement at all.
There is only one Nie Xinghong standing in the middle, who is not going to stay at the moment, the hand shaking the fan is frozen in mid-air, and in the end he can only come out to play a round with a hard head, and said with a dry smile: "What is full of dissatisfaction, everyone is a fellow practitioner, but there is just a little misunderstanding, the hairpin Xing initiate is cheerful and generous, and the Pu Zhu initiate is lively and cute, they are all the treasures of our Duzhou, aren't they?" β
No one said anything about him, Pu Yu glared at Tian Fangfang fiercely, turned around and left.
......
Outside the door, the hairpin held the horn of the pig.
As soon as I grasped the horn, there was a soft touch in my hand. As if catching some beating creature, the stone sculpture was clearly dead, but when it was held, it was as if it had come to life. She suddenly realized something, and looked sharply into the stone carving's eyes.
In those plain, cold eyes, a hint of ridicule flashed at this moment, and there seemed to be a sly smile flowing.
Not good! Hairpin Xing secretly said in her heart, and immediately let go, and before she could move, the stone sculpture in front of her was already close to her eyes, and the long, black horn stabbed towards Hairpin Xing's throat!
"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.
Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
