That night, when they returned to the Chaos Palace, both Hairpin Star and Gu Baiying had red faces.

Facing Mendong's sharp gaze, Hairpin Xing, who had always been calm, was a little weak-hearted, and only said a few words to Gu Baiying before hiding in the Chaos Hall to calm his heartbeat.

The child looked at Gu Baiying on the side, Gu Baiying looked away in disguise, and said, "What do you see?" ”

Mendong shook his head, sighed, and only said, "Senior Uncle, you have finally become the eighth favorite concubine of the Chaos Palace...... However, how do you talk about this to the boss? ”

The people of the Taiyan faction naturally didn't know what happened on this Qixi night in Black Rock City, and it was also raining on the mountain.

The rain continued, and for several days in a row, the waterfalls in Hongtai were more turbulent than before.

In the Miaokong Palace, Xuan Lingzi was loading things into a few large boxes, and said while loading: "This long incense pill has to be held, I don't know if there is such an incense pill in Black Rock City." The persimmon trees in the yard had borne fruit, so I saved a few hairpins and brought them with me. If you don't want to take some of the local products of Gufeng Mountain, the broken ground where birds don't lay eggs in Black Rock City, you can't even grow a green onion. Fangfang said that the hairpin stars have lost weight, so they must not have eaten well. What can the demons eat? Let's take some more eggs, this chicken is a pheasant that grew up in the mountains, and the eggs are much more fragrant than the domestic eggs. ”

Outside the hall, Li Danshu and Cui Yufu walked in. Li Danshu took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve: "Bring some pills with you, the new Huiyuan Pill I have recently practiced is good for increasing cultivation." ”

"I have that here." Cui Yufu took out a large stack of books from the Qiankun bag, "No one has read the spell books written in the past two years. Bring it to her with you, even if you become a demon, you can't waste your schoolwork! ”

Xuan Lingzi looked at the few large boxes in front of him and was a little embarrassed: "Senior brother, isn't it a bit much?" ”

"I said," Zhao Mai leaned on the pillar in the hall and looked at the few of them, "you have to pretend anyway." Yang Haixing's girl is now the daughter of the demon king, and all the major sects are watching, are you sending things to the demon clan with such fanfare, do you think our Taiyan faction has too good reputation? Pay some attention. ”

"What's there to pay attention to." Xuan Lingzi didn't care much and said, "Whether they look like they have to chew their tongues behind their backs, it's better to break the jar." ”

After the demon slayer returned from Yu'a Mountain, they told the story of what happened in the Wulun Tower. Knowing that Hairpin Star had not died and had become the next master of Black Rock City, everyone in the Taiyan faction was deeply surprised. However, after a short period of surprise, Xuan Lingzi and the others quickly accepted this fact. After all, even Gu Baiying and Meng Ying went to Black Rock City, which was enough to see the attitude of the Taiyan faction.

"You can't say that." Zhao Maiyi sighed, "The people from the Chihua Sect and the Xiangling Sect came to our sect again today to discuss the law. I don't think the charge of collusion with the demons can be cleared. ”

"What collusion with the demons, what face do they have to bark around?" Xuan Lingzi, who had always been kind, rarely showed some anger on his face, "If it weren't for my apprentice who stopped the ghost disgust in the Five Wheel Pagoda and turned the Buddha Wheel, the Demon Eradication Army would have been wiped out a long time ago." Moreover, to put it so powerfully, in the two years that the hairpin star has not appeared, aren't the major sects still disgusted by ghosts and chased like lost dogs? How, persimmon pick soft pinch? If they have the ability, they killed the ghost and hated life by themselves, and killed them to Black Rock City. Hiding behind people and pretending to be a grandson, turning his head and pretending to be Lao Tzu in front of people, do you want to be shameless? ”

"Fortunately, the head of the family didn't make a mistake this time, and I guess it annoyed them to mess around every day." Zhao Mai thought for a while: "Now all the major sects are targeting ghosts and disgusting people. I don't think I have the energy to care about Black Rock City for the time being. But ....." he stopped talking, looked out the window, but didn't say anything.

The hall is empty, since the hairpin left, the red crisp does not like to talk every day, and the Miaokong Hall seems to be a lot deserted.

Li Danshu, who was on the side, rubbed his itchy nose, sneezed, and said to himself: "It's almost autumn, it's raining every day, and it's really getting colder and colder on this mountain." ”

......

In the two days after the Chinese Valentine's Day, the Black Rock City was calm.

The demons sent to track down the demon weary still haven't found out the whereabouts of the oni weary life. The spiritual veins on the mountain are even thinner.

In the temple of the underworld, the hairpin star walked in. Bu Jiang was sitting on a high seat, talking to Mingjing, when he saw the hairpin star coming in, the two looked towards the hairpin.

"Mother." The hairpin sat down in front of the long line.

"It's rare that you are obedient and didn't bring your little uncle." Bu Jiang glanced at her with a smile, "I thought you had forgotten all about the beauty of that little lover." ”

Hairpin Star: "......" Needless to say, she looks like a mediocre king.

"Don't think that I deliberately embarrassed Gu Baiying, and I didn't target him," Bu Jiang said slowly, "It's a matter of the Demon Clan's secrets, he is a member of the sect, and if he is not from my clan, his heart will be different, so it's really inconvenient to listen." ”

Hairpin Xing looked at Mingjing and couldn't help but remind: "Master Mingjing is not a demon either. ”

"He's different." Bu Jiang chuckled, "He can betray the human race for me, can Gu Baiying do it for you?" ”

Hairpin Star: "......"

There seemed to be some confusion on Mingjing's face: "Your Highness......"

"I won't tell you what I have." Bu Jiang sighed, and his expression became worried again, "Did you go to the spirit vein just now to see it?" ”

Hairpin nodded: "The spiritual veins are much thinner than before. The bright red vein, now only as thick as a little finger, and a thin one, looked very pitiful. It won't be long before the veins will dry up completely.

Hairpin Star also tried to reawaken the spiritual vein with the Demon King's Yuan Force, but he tried many times, but in the end, it was fruitless.

"Mother, you said that the Demon King once awakened the spiritual veins for a short time, but he didn't refine the Xiao Yuan Zhu at that time, how did he do it?" Hairpin asked.

Bu Jiang looked into the distance, as if she had fallen into a distant memory, and after a long time, she said: "Back then, the spiritual veins of Black Rock City were getting thinner and thinner, and the power of the Demon Yuan was decreasing every day, and the entire Demon Clan was panicking. At that time, your father accidentally got the Xiao Yuan Pearl, and when he first got the Xiao Yuan Pearl, his cultivation grew rapidly, and the Demon King's Yuan Power almost reached an unprecedented level of abundance, so the spiritual veins that were gradually depleted were temporarily enriched again. ”

However, this only lasted for a short time, but after a few months, it was back to what it used to be. That's why your father is desperate to refine the Owl Yuan Bead. He believed that as long as he thoroughly refined the Xiao Yuan Bead, he would be able to master the most powerful power of the Heavenly Demon and truly awaken the spiritual vein. ”

"Although he failed in the end, the demon clan has always believed that as long as he refines the Owl Yuan Bead, he can rejuvenate the spiritual veins of Black Rock City. After all, we have succeeded. ”

"That's what I thought before you came back from Yuayama. That's why I've been telling you all the time to get the Xiaoyuan beads back. ”

Hairpin Xing's heart moved: "Meaning, don't you think so now?" ”

No, Jiang didn't speak, just looked at Mingjing. Mingjing said softly: "Your Highness, maybe the depletion of the spiritual veins of the Demon Realm is not accidental. ”

"What do you mean?"

Ming Jing hesitated for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to speak, and after a while, he looked at the hairpin star, and his voice was solemn: "To be precise, not only the Demon Realm, but also the major sects, the spiritual veins have become thinner and thinner over the years. ”

"Blackstone is not the only one."

"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.
