Chapter 280: Entering the Tower (1)
From the time he came out of the Polar Ice Abyss to now, it has been two full years, and it is the first time that Hairpin Star has encountered such a tricky opponent.
This stone sculpture really has a kind of magic, and it seems that the moment it touches it, it can't move, and it can't let go. The long black horns were as sharp as a sword, and seemed to quench a faint sheen, stabbing straight at her throat.
At this critical moment, the hairpin star suddenly used the yuan force, a cyan mark quietly bloomed from the forehead, and the awakened heavenly demon power caused the pig's movements to delay for a moment, and at this moment, the hairpin star's wrist was forced, and the horn was clenched so that it would not step forward.
One drop, two drops, three drops, bright red blood running down her palms from the horns and sinking into the dark dirt.
In the eyes of outsiders, time has only passed for a moment.
There seemed to be a hint of astonishment in those black, cold eyes. The next moment, a earth-shattering roar sounded, and the silver giant lion jumped away and slapped the stone sculpture at the door with one palm.
The lion's paw contained a ferocious elemental power, and the smoke and dust that it stirred up almost covered everyone's eyes.
The stone carving did not move at all, standing quietly in place, not being shaken by the giant beast's big palm.
But the hairpin star could clearly see that there seemed to be a flash of fear in that black eye.
She frowned slightly, and before she could think clearly, she saw that the pig's eyes suddenly blinked, and the next moment, a dazzling white light surged in front of her, she raised her head, and a surprised voice came from her side: "Senior sister, you also came in!" ”
There are no white towers and statues around, here is a huge round hall, Tian Fangfang and a few people are standing beside him, Meng Ying breathed a sigh of relief, Mu Dianxiao smiled: "Seeing that you are delayed, we thought something had happened to you, senior sister was worried." ”
Meng Ying nodded lightly at the hairpin, and Tian Fangfang hurriedly said, "Uncle Shi too!" ”
The hairpin star looked at Gu Baiying on the side, the young man was leaning against the stone wall with the embroidered bone gun, and was twisting his eyebrows to look at the hairpin, and when he saw the hairpin star, the person immediately turned his head away and walked in.
Hairpin Xing smiled, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said to Xiaoshuang outside with a transmission note: "Xiaoshuang, I have entered the tower, the statue of the pig is a little strange, don't come in yet." ”
She asked herself, although she was a demon and didn't do a single bad thing, how could she be "guilty"? The pig clearly wanted to stab her to death. If it weren't for the fact that Hairpin Star used the blood of the Heavenly Demon to resist at that time, and then Mimi found out that he was not rushing forward, maybe the end would be exactly the same as Gao Quan. The statue was so strange that even she found it tricky, and the Bone Woman was no match for them.
It's better not to act rashly.
Soon, Xiaoshuang's voice came back: "But Your Highness, you are alone in the tower, in case you ......"
Hairpin Xing glanced at Tian Fangfang and the others, and his voice suddenly became brisk: "Who said I was alone in the tower?" ”
Her brothers, sisters, and uncles are all there, and when it comes to it, she still has the most people.
Xiaoshuang outside was stunned for a moment, as if he was not giving up, and Hairpin said: "I don't think this pagoda is quite right, maybe it's not an ordinary trial ground, you are good outside, if there is a change, it is good to respond, by the way, help me take care of Mendong, except for the good and bad people in the demon army, I am afraid that he will suffer." ”
"Yes, Your Highness." Xiao Shuang didn't insist anymore, but said, "However, Your Highness, Master Mingjing also came in?" ”
Hairpin Star: "Huh? ”
She was still wondering, and saw that from the middle of the pagoda bottom, I don't know when another person had appeared, and the moment the gray-clothed monk saw the hairpin star, he breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped forward and said, "Your Royal Highness." ”
"Master Mingjing," Hairpin looked at him, a little strange, "Why did you come in too?" ”
On the way here, Hairpin Xing had already asked that Mingjing had brought many monks to this tower, but he had never set foot in this tower himself. This person doesn't seem to care about mundane things, and he doesn't care about any trials and rewards, maybe in Yu'e Mountain, whether it is Si Youguo or Liuquan Temple, most of them are a little misanthropic. The things that people in the world are eager to see, and in their eyes, they are not as important as flowers and plants.
Therefore, Master Mingjing also followed into the tower, which somewhat surprised Hairpin Xing.
"Before you came, your mother wrote to me asking me to take good care of you." Mingjing said lightly: "The pagoda is dangerous, you are the only one in the demon clan, I don't worry." When he said this, a trace of forbearance and love flashed in his eyes, as if the elders looked at the younger generations who had not yet grown up, which made Hairpin Xing can't help but have goosebumps.
A young Buddhist monk looked at him with such a gentle and kind gaze, although he knew that this monk might be older than his grandfather, but at this moment, it still made Hairpin Xing feel uncomfortable. Mingjing looked at her with the same gaze as her daughter, what does this mean, wanting to be her stepfather? But the person who wants to be the stepfather of the hairpin star can row from Black Rock City to Gufeng Mountain, and it is clear and clean...... The odds are not very good.
The two of them were whispering in a whisper, and on the other end, Gu Baiying's eyes swept over, frowned, coughed twice, slammed the embroidered bone gun to the ground, and turned to leave.
Hairpin Star heard the movement and said to Mingjing, "Let's go too." ”
The five-wheeled pagoda looks huge from the outside, but it is not spacious from the inside. There are no stairs to climb in the past, only round halls. The stone walls on all sides are covered with delicate colorful murals. It's all about lions, elephants and peacocks.
The lion elephant and the peacock are the beasts of the Buddha country, which have auspicious meanings. It was Master Jingshan who cast the five-wheel pagoda, and this painting was naturally from his hand, and the hairpin star only glanced at it, and he felt solemn, thinking that it contained the power of the law, and I am afraid that ordinary monks could do it.
She said to Mingjing: "It seems that this Jingshan Master has a very deep cultivation. ”
Mingjing narrowed his eyes slightly: "The most admirable thing about Master Jingshan is not his cultivation, but his virtue." Many years ago, there was a drought in the capital, countless starvations, and tens of thousands of displaced people. It is the master of Jingshan who has given great grace and saved thousands of people. Among them, there is immeasurable merit, and every family recites it. ”
Hairpin nodded: "I see." ”
As he was talking, Nie Xinghong's exclamatory voice came from ahead: "What is this?" ”
Hairpin and Mingjing stepped forward, and Yami followed her.
In the center of the hall of the first floor of the tower, there is a circular sand platform, and a flower is planted in the sand platform.
The flower has slender branches and leaves, with brown vine veins, and the flowers have not yet bloomed, swaying softly and weakly in the white tower, and immediately grabbing people's hearts.
"This is ......," Hairpin Star wondered.
Mingjing said, "Honeysuckle." ”
The crowd looked back at him.
The monk explained softly: "Zifeng vine, because of its strong adaptability, is not afraid of the cold, and symbolizes the immortality of the soul and the eternal life of reincarnation in the Buddha country. ”
Hairpin was about to ask again, when she saw that the weak flower branch suddenly trembled, and then, the slender petals stretched out towards her, as if a smile bloomed at her.
Honeysuckle bloomed.
"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.
