The tea in the teacup was warm, but the hall was a little empty and cool.

Hairpin asked, "Master Mingjing, is this true?" ”

"Hasn't Your Highness already been to Yu'a Mountain?" Mingjing spoke softly, "When you were in the Five Wheel Tower, Your Highness should have noticed that the aura of Yu'a Mountain was thin, but in the past, Yu'e Mountain was not like this. ”

Hairpin Xing frowned: "I thought it was because the rotation of the two-life Buddha wheel needed to absorb the surrounding aura." ”

Mingjing shook his head: "No." The Buddha wheel did not rotate before the demon was tired of entering the tower, and the aura began to decrease day by day, and it did not start with the five-wheel pagoda. And," he was silent for a moment, "Over the years, many of the monks who have come to the Five Rounds Pagoda to train have been masters of the sect, and these people have mentioned that the spiritual veins in the sect have exhausted a lot compared to before. At first, I thought it was an accident, but then I found that there was not only one sect, but many sects. It's just that the matter of the spiritual vein is very important, and ordinary people will not mention it to the outside world. ”

"But when I was on Gufeng Mountain, I never heard Master and them mention ......"

Mingjing said: "Your Royal Highness, the new disciples of the sect over the years have rarely had as many spiritual root talents as they did back then. ”

Hairpin star's words swallowed back in his throat.

This is a fact, as far as the demon slayer army led by Gu Baiying is concerned, except for a few that can be seen, the others are all crooked melons and cracked dates. Although Mendong said that this was a pit dug by the Lingxin Daoist for Gu Baiying, Hairpin felt that the disciples of the Chihua Sect he saw in Li'er Country were not much better than those in the Demon Extermination Army. Maybe it's because in today's immortal cultivation world, there are no more outstanding rookies. Once the spiritual vein is weakened and the spiritual energy is insufficient, the cultivation of the disciples of the sect will inevitably be hindered.

"Now, the Duzhou Continent, whether it is the human race or the demon race, is facing the problem of the spiritual veins drying up day by day. Not to mention soaring, in a few years, the spiritual veins will be completely depleted, and the demon clan and sect monks will all become ordinary people. If it is safe and sound, it is naturally the best, but if there are natural and man-made disasters, or the infestation of fierce beasts and monsters, I am afraid that it will cause a catastrophe. Mingjing's eyes were lowered, and his tone was worried.

The eyebrows of the non-ginger are also a little depressed.

First the spiritual veins are depleted, who knows what will follow? There is also a ghost who is bent on destroying the Three Realms, and if he makes a comeback at this time, it will really make matters worse.

Hairpin said: "Mother ......"

Bu Jiang raised his eyes, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face, reassuring the two: "It's okay." The emaciated camels of our demons are bigger than horses, and they have a long lifespan, unlike those human races who have no power to tie chickens. I think there are people who are more anxious than us now, just wait, I haven't seen it for long, and there are people in the sect who can't sit still. ”

"Let's go and see."

......

Xu said those words to Bu Jiang and Mingjing during the day, and this night, Hairpin Star didn't sleep very well.

There were countless fragments of the dream intertwined, little by little in her mind. In a white mist, she seemed to rise and fall in the rolling waves. Countless waves lapped at her, dragging her deeper into the whirlpool, and she struggled to poke her head out, but she couldn't see the shadow of anyone around her. The heavens and the earth suddenly became empty, and the water wrapped her in the water, not knowing where she was going, as heavy and magnificent as fate.

"Whoa—"

She suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from her dream, cold sweat dripping from her forehead.

Yami slept soundly at the foot of the bed. The ghost lights in the hall were quiet and green, and the faint lights seemed to have the ability to soothe people's hearts, making her beating heart gradually calm down.

Xiaoshuang asked the lantern blowers to leave, and since Gu Baiying came over, in order to avoid misunderstanding, the hairpin told them not to come to the palace to serve for the time being. Gu Baiying and Tian Fangfang are still living in the demon cave arranged by Bujiang, I don't know if Bujiang did this on purpose. The huge long hall used to be lively and did not feel deserted, but today she is alone, and she feels surprisingly empty.

Hairpin raised his eyes and looked out the window.

It was dark outside, and it was still a long time before dawn. By this time, everyone had already fallen asleep.

Hairpin couldn't sleep, put on his shoes and got off the bed, picked up the cold tea on the table and took a sip. She sat in the hall for a while, and became less and less sleepy, so she simply put on her clothes and went out.

Outside, it was drizzling again.

There is also a paper umbrella at the door, he has always been very careful, Hairpin Xing bent down to pick up the umbrella, and opened it out of the temple door.

It was late at night, everyone had already slept, only the glowing statue at the entrance of the demon cave gave off a beautiful and dazzling light. And she held a paper umbrella in one hand and a green lantern in the other, walking in the drizzle, if someone passed by in the middle of the night, she would probably be scared half to death.

There was no one on the road, and the hairpin walked to the gate of Black Rock City.

The black currents of the Styx rushed at her feet, as if one step further would swallow her whole. The night was vast, and countless rains fell into the rising and falling waves, unable to stir up a small splash. Hairpin Xing stood by the river, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly reached out to untie the Qiankun bag on his waist, and took out a large handful of magic pills from it.

She found a relatively dry stone and sat down, and threw the magic pill in her hand into the river like a waste. The river waves quickly swallowed the magic pill, and in an instant, in the middle of the Styx, a huge wave was lifted, and from the whirlpool, a small mountain-like fish ridge gradually floated.

The black arowana is coming.

Seeing each other again, the hairpin is not as scared as when they first met. She sat by the river, and with a wave of her hand, a large handful of magic pills were thrown into the river again.

The water was stirred up by the beast and roared at the people on the shore. But when he was about to approach the shore, he stopped and slowly faded.

I don't know how long it took for the waves to calm down. There are large fish swimming from afar, diving into the water, revealing two huge eyes, quietly staring at the hairpin.

"I will not cross the river today." Hairpin smiled at it, "I came to feed you." ”

The black arowana shook its huge tail slightly, and the water splashed up from a distance, landing on the hairpin.

It waited quietly on the shore, like a huge moored black ship, waiting for a traveler who was about to board the ship. Hairpin Xing looked at the dark figure of the giant beast, suddenly sighed, and said softly: "Xiaoshuang said, you are a carp that jumped over the dragon gate from the immortal mountain. Since you have already jumped over the dragon gate, why didn't you turn into a dragon? She didn't know what to think, and her gaze became distant, "Xianshan...... What does it look like? ”

The predecessors who have ascended to immortality have disappeared in the Duzhou Continent, and the rest of the people can only glimpse the words of the immortal world from the classics.

Ignorance, all kinds of expectations.

The black arowana didn't say a word, and looked at her silently.

A familiar voice came from behind him, with a little doubt: "Yang Haixing, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, just to go to the river to feed the fish?" ”

"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.
