Chapter 292: Demon Descent (1)
The vast mountains and forests have finally come to an end.
Not far away, smoke rises slowly, and chickens and ducks chirp incessantly. At the end of a large expanse of farmland lies a small village.
This village is not as neat and clean as Si Youguo, and it is full of thick smoke and fire. In front of the mud huts are stacks of chopped wood. Chickens and ducks are fed in the fence. In front of a small pond in the distance, someone was fishing. Farmers farming, children and shepherd boys, looking at it from afar, like a paradise, a piece of quiet time.
Hairpin Star and Gu Baiying glanced at each other, and each felt the doubts in each other's hearts.
There was no trace of the fluctuation of demonic energy and yuan power here, and it looked like a village inhabited by ordinary mortals. Why did the Wheel of the Two Buddhas bring them here? Is this a corner of the past?
Gu Baiying tilted his head and said in a low voice, "Go over and take a look." ”
The hairpin star's jaw.
The two walked forward, and just in front of them a peasant wearing a hat walked by, and the hairpin star stepped forward and smiled: "This big brother ......"
The peasant walked past the hairpin as if he hadn't seen her, and the hairpin was stunned.
Seeing this, Gu Baiying's eyes moved slightly, and he stretched out the embroidered bone spear, and the tip of the embroidered bone spear swept over the flat pole carried by the farmer, like a fresh wind, easily penetrating through it.
"Illusion?" Hairpin paused. Others can't see them, and they can't influence others, it's like a fantasy. No, in the fantasy world of Wufan City, the owner who made up the illusion can live and laugh in it, and it looks more like a memory. It was like a memory she had seen in the Sanssouci Sword in the treasure field.
Whose memory is this? Are ghosts disgusted?
"We can't seem to influence them." Hairpin Xing looked at Gu Baiying: "Master Mingjing said that turning the Buddha wheel of two lives can go back to the past, but if the past has not changed, then the meaning of the Buddha's wheel will not exist?" ”
"Don't forget, the people of the wheel are ghosts." Gu Baiying reminded her: "You and I can't change the past, it doesn't mean that ghosts can't be disgusted." ”
The hairpin star's eyes are lowered, which is also true. Oni was the first person to pass the trial of the Five Rounds of the Pagoda, and the Buddha Wheel was a prize given to him by the Pagoda. Ghost disgusted Sheng took the initiative to turn the Buddha Wheel, but she and Gu Baiying were forced into it by the Buddha Wheel. In this memory, the ghost is the master.
They can't help but get rid of the ghostly past.
The two of them were standing on the path in the village, thinking about what to do next, when a sudden thunderclap disrupted their thoughts.
At some point, heavy dark clouds gathered in the sky above the village, and the wind was raging, and a torrential rain was about to fall. The neighbors scattered to hide from the rain, the children who herded the cattle hurried home to their homes, and the small village, which was still lively, was empty in an instant.
Bean-sized rain fell from the sky.
This torrential rain came strangely, it was clearly a memory, the villagers couldn't see the hairpin and Gu Baiying, but the rain could fall on the two of them, wetting their clothes. Hairpin Xing looked into the distance, and saw that there was a person not far away in front of the window with a light on the screen, so he pointed to it and said to Gu Baiying: "It's not a way to stand like this, let's go and hide from the rain first." ”
Gu Baiying had no objection. The two of them went over and hid under the eaves of the mud house, and the clear rain fell down the eaves into the mud puddle at their feet, and clusters of water like hanging water curtains swooped down on the people along the wind.
Hairpin couldn't help but shudder.
Gu Baiying glanced at her: "Why don't you use the warmth technique?" ”
Hairpin looked calm: "I won't." When she was on the mountain, she always wore a few more clothes to ward off the cold. In many cases, she prefers to use the mortal way to keep out the cold, to remember who she really is and where she came from.
Gu Baiying was first surprised, then disgusted, and said, "Aren't you the daughter of the Demon King?" Not even warmth. After saying that, he raised a hand and was about to move, when he suddenly heard the hairpin star speak: "No." ”
His movements froze in mid-air: "What? ”
"Don't you feel it?" Hairpin looked at him in surprise: "What a thick demonic aura." ”
"Demonic energy?" Gu Baiying frowned and shook his head: "I didn't feel any demonic qi nearby. ”
Even Gu Baiying didn't notice it? Hairpin Xing was even more surprised, she thought about it, stretched out her left hand, palm on it, and from the palm of her hand, a cyan flame immediately ignited. The flame swayed and lengthened rapidly, like a long cyan worm, scurrying into the house.
Right in this house? Hairpin Xing's heart moved, followed the room, and the next moment, a suppressed voice came out of it: "It hurts-"
The rain "roared" and poured down from the sky, and the thunder and lightning illuminated the painful and screaming faces of the people in the room, and it was a woman.
A woman in labor.
The flames in the oil lamp on the table seemed to feel the wind and rain outside the window, swaying as if they were about to be extinguished in the next moment. The woman clenched her fists with all her might, trying to calm her breathing. The mattress next to the pillow was almost scratched by her hands, and there were silver scissors and basins next to the bed.
There was only one woman in the house, not even a stable woman. The woman gave birth alone, and she seemed to be afraid of being known to outsiders, so she tried her best to keep her groans low, and the movement was firmly covered by the wind and rain outside the window, and no one in the whole village knew about it.
The thick demonic energy came from this woman's belly.
Hairpin Xing was stunned, and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind. Before she could react, Gu Baiying saw that she was slow to come out, and walked in, and as soon as she entered the house, she was shocked by the scene in this room, and said, "Why is she ...... alone?"
Mortal women give birth, and most of them die for a lifetime. Not to mention that parents and relatives are waiting outside, at least they have to be taken care of by their mother-in-law. And this woman is alone, which is pitiful. What about her husband's relatives?
The woman was still struggling, the bruises on her forehead burst out, her eyes were wide open, and her tears and sweat were mixed together, soaking the mattress with water.
Suddenly, there was a "wow-" sound, and the baby's cry sounded in the room. The woman's body suddenly loosened, as if she had unloaded a thousand catties of burden, and she was powerless to continue.
"Boom—"
The thunder outside the window continued, and the woman on the couch was extremely weak, but she still sat up with her body propped up. With every movement, she had to stop and catch her breath for a long time. After some time, it seemed to regain some strength, and the woman gritted her teeth and picked up the newborn baby from the scarlet and sticky, and at first glance she was stunned.
Then, a bitter smile spread across her face, but a mournful cry escaped her throat. This cry is also suppressed, like a kitten's thin whimper, hiding the helplessness and pity that dare not speak for outsiders.
This baby who fell to the ground was different from other babies, he was born to open a pair of eyes, and he looked at the woman holding him in front of him, and a smile of innocence.
He gave birth to a pair of golden eyes.
"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.
