Chapter 6: Jiang Yu (II)
The front yard of Hibiscus Court is full of wood.
Jiang Yu sat in it, carving runes on the wood with a carving knife.
These runes are able to protect the village from the yokai. Since the fox appeared in Beiwang Village, all the villagers have supported the establishment of the barrier in the Hibiscus Pavilion, providing wood and other utensils.
Jiang Yu carved this kind of rune for the first time, which was more sophisticated and complicated than before, because this was a superimposed rune, first of all, it was necessary to make the monster unable to get in, confuse the monster's vision, and at the same time launch a pure fire to expel the monster when the monster accidentally entered.
So when carving the seal, Jiang Yu was always cautious, but even so, he still carved a few pieces of wood.
"That should be enough, put the wooden platform on the wooden cart." Grandma Demon Slayer came out of the house and spoke.
Jiang Yu saw that the grandmother of the demon master was holding a few classics of the demon master who were not borrowed, and it seemed that she was going to Shi's house again.
"I'm thinking about carving a few more as a backup." Jiang Yu replied.
"Go and set up the last barrier point, I'll go to Shi's house." Grandma Demon Slayer said, "I'll rest when I come back, it takes a lot of physical strength to set up an enchantment on a cloudy night, don't practice there every night, it's so noisy that I can't sleep." ”
In order to cultivate as soon as possible, Jiang Yu slept less than two hours a day, and secretly practiced in the backyard, thinking that the demon exterminator and grandmother didn't know.
Jiang Yu carried a few heavy wooden pillars onto the wooden cart, and walked out of the door with the demon slayer grandmother, but met Shi Yang coming.
Shi Yang looked a little haggard.
"Shi Yang? Can I help you? Grandma asked.
"No, it's fine." Shi Yang responded, "I'm wondering if you need help?" ”
"It's okay, it should be done today." Jiang Yu responded, "Aren't you going to the training ground at this time, why are you here?" ”
Jiang Yu wanted to take advantage of the time when the demon slayer grandmother went to Shi's house, and hurriedly arranged the enchantment to come back to cultivate, if Shi Yang was also there, he would be delayed.
Shi Yang's face turned red when he was asked, and he turned around and ran away after a long time.
Jiang Yu went to the end of the village alone, there was another exit from the village, facing a large forest, Jiang Yu never left the village, and it was rumored that there were robbers and foresters in the forest. Gangs of thieves plundered each other's territory, and they would cooperate to rob passing caravans.
Jiang Yu wondered if there would be monsters in the forest, and how would they defend themselves when they appeared.
Now she can't protect so many people, so she can only set up an enchantment to protect the people in the village.
After Jiang Yu set up the enchantment point, he passed by the training ground and saw Shi Yang and a boy being punished for additional training during the lunch break. But Jiang Yu didn't bother them, but continued to walk back to the Furong Pavilion.
Unexpectedly, the demon slayer grandmother returned to the Furong Pavilion one step earlier, and was still standing in the front yard waiting for Jiang Yu.
"Follow me to the backyard." Grandma Demon Slayer said.
Jiang Yu and the demon slayer grandmother went to the backyard.
Jiang Yu could feel that the demon slayer grandmother was going to say something important. This feeling is the same as the night she asked Beiwang to leave.
"Jiang Yu." "Do you remember what it takes to become an official demon slayer?" ”
"You need to go to the Imperial Township and undergo a trial in Yinyue Villa, and only if you pass it can you be recorded." Jiang Yu replied.
"That's right, only the Demon Slayer on the books can get this silver-encrusted sapphire necklace." Grandma Demon Slayer took out the necklace from her waist, "But whether you are registered or not, it is my way to protect the weak if you are capable." ”
"Yes, I agree with my grandmother." Jiang Yu said, "It's just that my current cultivation is still too low..."
"Originally, I wanted to wait for your birthday to pass and take you to the imperial hometown to cultivate, but now that the incident happened suddenly, there is no time for many things." Grandma Demon Slayer said, the necklace in her hand slowly rising, "Jiang Yu, you are a gifted child, but now I don't have time to wait for you to become stronger." ”
With a wave of her hand, the necklace flew straight to where Jiang Yu's heart was, and Jiang Yu only felt pain, as if the necklace had penetrated his body.
A darkness appeared in Jiang Yu's mind, and the silver powder slowly fell. Jiang Yu just wanted to speak, but bubbles appeared in his mouth, and he found that he was actually in the water, so he swam hard.
The water contains deep spiritual power, thick and dense, even if Jiang Yu keeps going upstream, his body still sinks down, and Jiang Yu has come back to his senses and is already trapped in a pile of dead leaves. The branches lifted her up, the huge trunk buried her in it, but the dead leaves turned into sharp sword weapons and flew towards Jiang Yu.
Just as the sword loved to stab Jiang Yu, a wind blew off the flying weapon and the trunk of the tree that bound Jiang Yu, blowing Jiang Yu up.
Just when Jiang Yu thought that he would be tormented by the strong wind again, this bad news did not happen. The gale turned into a soft and warm wind, surrounding Jiang Yu and sending her to the ground smoothly.
Jiang Yu could feel the spiritual power contained in this soft wind, and it poured into her body endlessly.
Suddenly, Jiang Yu had a splitting headache, and the illusion was shattered, and in the chaos, Jiang Yu only saw the colorful fragments of the illusion. Although there was a bump and rolling, Jiang Yu rolled down from the backyard of Furong Pavilion.
When he got up again, Jiang Yu only saw the demon slayer grandmother kneeling in the center of the backyard, white smoke coming out of her body, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old and haggard.
Jiang Yu hurriedly went to help the demon slayer grandmother.
"Grandma, grandma, are you alright?" Jiang Yu said.
"I'm fine, just take a break." Grandma Demon Slayer gasped and said.
Jiang Yu helped the demon slayer grandmother to the house.
The demon slayer grandmother took a sip of tea with trembling hands before she breathed a sigh of relief.
"What did you just see?" Grandma asked.
"There is water, there are dead leaves, there is a sword, and there is wind." Jiang Yu replied truthfully.
"It's the wind, it means that your spiritual power is biased towards the wind system." Grandma Demon Slayer said, "Just now I transferred the Demon Slayer's necklace to you, and most of my spiritual power was also injected into your body. ”
"Grandma, why are you doing this?" Jiang Yu asked, the demon slayer grandmother in front of her was very weak, and Jiang Yu really couldn't bear it.
"Because you're going to have a lot of responsibility next." The demon slayer grandmother said with all her might, "You go down first, I want to rest for a while." ”
Jiang Yu took the blanket and put it on the demon slayer grandmother and returned to the courtyard.
Jiang Yu really felt that the spiritual power in his body was abundant, and he picked up the spear slightly lighter than usual, and he could swing it easily, and his body was as light as a swallow, as if he was flying with the wind.
"Is this grandma's spiritual power?" Jiang Yu said.
But Jiang Yu didn't seem to be able to control this spiritual power yet. The spiritual power fluctuated in the body, making Jiang Yu feel uncomfortable for a while, and he fell to the ground as soon as his eyes were dark.
When he woke up, it was already night, and Jiang Yu was still lying in the backyard, but he had an extra blanket on his body.
"Go back to sleep, I'm not old enough to carry you into the house." Grandma Demon Slayer said.
That being said, from the naked eye, the demon slayer grandmother has recovered to seventy-seven eighty-eight. It's really worthy of being a grandmother, and her cultivation is really unfathomable, Jiang Yu thought to herself.
"I'm not sleepy anymore, I want to continue cultivating." Jiang Yu said.
"Then pick up the spear." Grandma Demon Slayer seems to have expected it a long time ago.
Jiang Yu picked up the spear, and the demon slayer grandmother suddenly attacked, and the old body did not slow down its speed at all, and attacked Jiang Yu with a wooden staff.
Jiang Yu reluctantly took a few moves, but the spear was taken away at once.
The demon slayer grandmother threw it to Jiang Yu and attacked again.
"Watch your breathing, you're a wind slayer, feel the flow of the wind." Grandma said.
Jiang Yu also wanted to stabilize his breath, but the attack of the demon slayer grandmother was too fierce, but Jiang Yu was tripped and fell to the ground.
"Come again!" The demon exterminator's grandmother was unusual, and Jiang Yu was also stirred up in the flames of battle.
Jiang Yu gradually found his touch in the battle and felt the flow of the wind. I actually felt the further action of the demon slayer grandmother, and directly blocked it.
But the strength of the demon slayer grandmother was too great, and Jiang Yu staggered back a few steps after landing on the ground.
"Hmm...," the demon slayer grandma affirmed, "that's it for today, now go back and rest." ”
Jiang Yu had to admit that in the battle just now, because he hadn't grasped the spiritual power yet, and he was very tired now, so he also listened to the words of the demon slayer grandmother and went back to rest.
When I woke up, it was already noon.
The demon slayer grandmother is not in the house, and Jiang Yu thinks that the demon slayer grandmother may go to Shi's house again.
Jiang Yu took advantage of the lunch break in the training ground to find Shi Yang.
When he came to the dining hall, Shi Yang still ate with the boy. When the other guards saw Jiang Yu coming to find Shi Yang, they immediately coaxed Shi Yang out, and they didn't calm down until Zhou Yiwen's sect leader yelled at them.
"Jiang Yu? Why did you come to me? Shi Yang pulled Jiang Yu to a place where there was no one outside the canteen and asked.
"Aren't I curious what you came to my door yesterday?" Jiang Yu said, who knew that Shi Yang blushed as soon as he asked, "Actually, yesterday, grandma passed on her spiritual power to me." ”
Jiang Yu took out the demon slayer necklace and showed it to Shi Yang.
"Grandma was weak yesterday, but recovered quickly." Jiang Yu paused slightly, "I always feel like they have something to do, and grandma said that there is not much time left." ”
"Actually, I saw the old doctor last night." Shi Yang said, it seems that he also feels that the adults are hiding a lot of things.
"Old doctor? Did he come back from his outing? Did you tell the old doctor about Beiwang? Jiang Yu asked a series of questions, and Shi Yang didn't have a chance to speak.
"It's not like that... What I saw was..."
"Shiyang! It's time to train! If you're late, don't go home! Zhou Yi's martial arts sect head shouted.
"You'd better go to training first, and then come to Furong Pavilion tonight." Jiang Yu said, Shi Yang nodded, and ran to the training ground.
So Jiang Yu went to Beiwang's residence and saw a little girl taking care of herbs.
"You are?" Jiang Yu asked.
"I'm Ye Xiaoqiu, I know you, you are Sister Jiang Yu of Furong Pavilion." Ye Xiaoqiu replied smartly.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Yu thought to herself, this little girl is really not afraid of life.
"Brother Shi Yang said that everyone in this room has gone out, so let me and my brother live here temporarily to help take care of it." Ye Xiaoqiu said as he jumped up and down to take care of the herbs.
"Do you know how to take care of these herbs?" Jiang Yu asked.
"I know, I read what is written in the book."
Jiang Yu saw that there were indeed medical books next to him.
"Brother Shiyang killed a few trees before, and I'm trying to find a way to save them, otherwise Brother Beiwang might scold him." Ye Xiaoqiu grunted.
"Xiaoqiu, have you ever seen the old doctor?" Jiang Yu asked.
"I haven't seen it, Brother Shiyang, if I behave well, the old doctor can take me as an apprentice when he comes back." Ye Xiaoqiu said, "When I succeed in my studies, maybe my mother will take me and my brother back, and I won't let her have a good time at that time." ”
Jiang Yu looked at Ye Xiaoqiu and said these words with a smile, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
