Chapter 1 (Inner Demons)
215 BC.
Yancheng.
"Come on! Come! Come! The last one! Just the last one! Definitely pay off! In a gambling house, an emaciated young man shouted in the crowd.
"Lin Yan, you do this every time! I haven't given it to you last time! Let's go! If you want to play it yourself, I don't have any money anyway. The young man who was traveling with him complained unhappily, and then shook off his hand and left the gambling house.
Lin Yan reluctantly looked at the white silver on the gambling table, and then looked at the young man who resolutely walked out of the door. Helplessly, he chased him out and said: Mo Fan, brother! Are we good buddies? I'm mad when you say that! Ay! Wait for me!
Mo Fan walked straight forward without looking back.
"Drive! Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”
Before he could finish speaking, a young woman covered in armor galloped through the bustling street.
Mo Fan was turning around, but before he could react, the horse's hooves had already rushed to his side.
"Be careful!" Lin Yan anxiously reminded him, jumped up, and in the blink of an eye, he went to Mo Fan's side and pushed Mo Fan aside.
Seeing this, the woman had no intention of stopping, so she pulled the reins and jumped up from the top of Lin Yan's head with the horse.
"Lin Yan!"
Mo Fan stretched out his hand anxiously, looked at Lin Yan with a frightened expression and shouted.
Lin Yan clenched his fists, subconsciously leaned back his body, tried his best to keep his body low, and one person and one horse passed by.
After the woman jumped over, she continued to walk and turned back to inquire about the two men behind her, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then rushed out of the city.
"Lin Yan, are you okay?" Mo Fan immediately rushed over and grabbed Lin Yan and shouted worriedly.
Lin Yan let go of his clenched fists, looked back at Mo Fan, and immediately teased with a smile: Hehe, what is this! Small question, but, am I saving your life? You look at the money last time, right?
As he spoke, Lin Yan rubbed his fingers and smiled evilly.
Mo Fan immediately spread his hand away, "What save?" If you hadn't pushed me away and made me miss another chance to perform. Don't forget, I'm a monster hunter! ”
"Uh, it's up to me? Isn't it? Yes! Let me see how our greatest demon hunter in Yancheng was scared to death just now. Haha" Lin Yan said, stretching out his hand towards Mo Fan.
"Come back!" Mo Fan looked frightened, and immediately ran towards the crowd.
(Mofu)
As soon as Mo Fan entered a courtyard, the subordinates at the door all shouted in unison respectfully: "Young master! Lin guards.
Soon, the two came to the lobby of the main hall, and the two did not play anymore, and immediately became serious. There were two people seated in the hall.
One is Mo Fan's father, Mo Shu, and the other is the county order Zhuwen.
Mo Shu, the heaven-level figure of the Demon Slayer Division, and his mother Nanjiao was the head of the Demon Slayer Division.
The Demon Slayer Division is a branch dedicated to special tasks, and it has many talented people in it, and it was established with the permission of the First Emperor. The collective name given to them by the world: Demon Hunter. There are five levels, namely: Heaven Level, God Level, Immortal Level, Human Level, and Earth Level.
"Mo Fan, Lin Yan. See Jewel-sama! When the two of them saw the county order, they both bowed their hands to Zhuwen in unison and shouted in unison.
"Well, yes, you need to hurry. Hurry up and grow up and share the burden for your father, we are all old, and you will have to come to eliminate the demons and defend the road in the future, and protect the people of our Yancheng. Zhu Wen looked at the two and said with a satisfied smile.
"Lord Zhu praised it falsely, alas, if he can enter the ground level, I will thank God." Mo Shu reluctantly stopped and said to Zhuwen.
"It will definitely be, then this matter will be left to you, I will go back first." After saying that, Zhu Wen got up and prepared to leave.
"Well, I'll take care of it, don't worry, sir. What are you still doing with the pestle, why don't you send it to Lord Zhu! Mo Shu looked at Mo Fan and said unhappily.
Mo Fan had long been accustomed to Mo Shu's attitude towards himself, and walked towards Zhuwen with an expressionless face: My lord, I will send you.
After the two left, Lin Yan looked at Mo Shu with a sad face, and asked respectfully: My lord, has something happened?
"Well, I just received news that there are demons outside the city, devouring people's minds, and many people have died tragically, and the form has gradually spread to the city. Therefore, Zhu Da came to me to discuss that I must get rid of the inner demon before it spreads into the city. ”
"Demons?"
"Recently, the monsters have been rampant, the world is full of charm, and the world may be in chaos again. As demon hunters, our power slowly wanes with time and effort in a seemingly peaceful world. If it is not well controlled, it will usher in chaos again, accompanied by a devastating catastrophe that we mortals cannot bear. ”
"So serious? My lord, what should we do? Lin Yan looked at Mo Shu seriously.
"I have already informed the Demon Slayer Division of the situation, and the Palm will come up with a countermeasure. In addition, we also have to strengthen the personnel arrangement of the Demon Slayer Division, many heaven-level demon hunters have gone to carry out the secret mission of the First Emperor, and there are very few people available in the Demon Slayer Division now. That's it, Lin Yan, I'll go back to the Demon Slayer Division tonight, gather the heaven-level demon hunters of the Demon Slayer Division, and prepare to select new demon hunters. You get Fan'er ready. Don't disgrace me again! ”
"Yes! Don't worry, I'll supervise it. ”
Mo Shu nodded and made a gesture to Lin Yan. "Well, go ahead."
After Mo Fan sent away the county order, he happily came to the courtyard and found Lin Yan. looked at Lin Yan on the stone bench on the side and said, "What are you doing?" With a sad face, this is not your style! What's wrong? Did Dad give you another task? ”
"Oh, how can there be, alas! The lord told me that there was a devouring demon outside the city, and the adult will go to the Demon Slayer Division tonight to prepare for the selection of a new demon hunter......" Before Lin Yan finished speaking, Mo Fan interrupted: Yes, yes! When it comes to the selection, I will definitely be contacted, no matter, it's rare to have such an opportunity, while he is out now. Shall we go out and have some fun?
"Childe, you have failed in the selection seven times, I think adults can also be heaven-level demon hunters, but you haven't even been selected at the entry level, adults will inevitably have ideas, my task is to help you be selected this time and successfully enter the Demon Slayer Division." Lin Yan's tone immediately became serious and looked at Mo Fan.
"Anyway, I've tried so many times, and it doesn't matter if anyone in the entire Demon Slayer Division doesn't know that Mo Shu has a waste son." Mo Fan sat down unwillingly, took the tea on the stone table and drank it all.
Lin Yan didn't know how to answer for a while, indeed, he grew up with Mo Fan, as Mo Fan's personal guard, the two were more like brothers, training together and playing together. He is now an immortal-level demon hunter, and Mo Fan is like this no matter how he trains, and he is not even selected for the entry level.
The two were silent for a long time, and Lin Yan thought for a long time before he spoke: "That's it, isn't there a demon?" Let's take advantage of the adult's absence this time to check, if we can solve the problem of demons, this time we will be selected, there will definitely be extra points!
After Mo Fan heard this, he immediately had his spirit: "Hmm! Good! ”
