Chapter 248: Changing with the Times
"The Great Demon Country's Beihong Bloodline?"
Qi Jingzhi was quite surprised when he heard this, he really didn't expect to see the so-called Great Demon Kingdom bloodline in such a rural place, as for the evil spirit flying away and the chaos in the world, there is a heaven and earth Xuanjian, but it is not worth it.
When he was in Xianyu Mountain, he had seen a few spirits under the banner of the Great Demon Country's Immortal Feather Capital Protectorate, and he had also fought a few tricks with the dead remnants of the Mirror Armor Heavenly Centipede clan.
From the words of the Xuandu Guanzhu, it can be seen that the Mirror Jiatian Centipede clan once rebelled against the Teng family of the Great Demon Kingdom, but the clan was wiped out, and several old trees protected an unhatched egg and escaped by luck, and were taken in by Xianyu Mountain to survive.
It's a pity that the two families failed to start and finish well, several old trees have fallen, and the only remaining mirror armor Tiancentipede was used as a spiritual material by the Xuandu Guan Lord, and it was refined into the crane shoes.
Because of the involvement of crane shoes, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but be curious, and had the heart to ask his master in detail about the Great Demon Kingdom, but suddenly the cultivation was a breakthrough, and the heart was manifested, and he immediately returned to the Dragon Garden to retreat to consolidate the realm, and then he was sent down the mountain, and he forgot about this stubble.
He didn't know what the Great Demon Kingdom was, and he hadn't heard of any Beihong lineage, so at this moment, he couldn't distinguish the truth from what the Golden Bottle Child said.
Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but glance at Lishan Guangye, and secretly said in his heart: "According to this Lingtai Lang, the words rainbow and centipede are next to insects, and their shapes and appearances are similar to those of the genus of cockroaches and snakes......"
"Moreover, the rainbow appears through the sky, and the mirror armor sky centipede also has the ability to climb the clouds and control the sky, the two races are quite similar, if they are born in the same country, it seems to be reasonable?"
"From this point of view, it can't be said that I thought badly that day, and the head of the Great Demon Kingdom is not actually the Teng family, but the Teng family? Fujino Otogi, born by attaching to the towering beetle, and the mirror beetle is also hatched in the body of the tree spirit...... If this is the case, then the scene in the Great Demon Kingdom can be imagined. ”
Lishan Guangye felt Qi Jingzhi's gaze, but he was mistaken, and hurriedly explained: "This great demon kingdom is very mysterious, although there are several records in my Great Qi history books, but the language is unknown. If the younger brother remembers well, when the Great Qi was founded, the lord of the Great Demon Kingdom once came in person and gave the first king ten kinds of treasure medicines to celebrate. ”
He paused, looked at the golden bottle child, and was also very surprised: "The secret file of the Hun Tiansi has also been loaded, the car of the lord of the Great Demon Country is a big hall, the corridor waist is back, bright as a rainbow, the pillars of the hall are hugged, bright as a mirror, the whole hall is not only brilliant and magnificent, but also can disappear and cover the sky." ”
Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi remembered the wonder of the empty wooden row where the mirror armor heavenly centipede existed that day, and couldn't help nodding secretly. If the pillars in the main hall of the Great Demon Kingdom are like this, I am afraid that they can really float in the air.
On the contrary, the golden bottle child looked dazed when he heard this, as if it was the first time he had heard of it.
It is half human and half demon, and it was sealed with a golden bottle by its relatives, placed in the mountains and fields, and mingled with the spirits all day long, and most of them were not treated by the Beihong lineage.
Seeing that it had a different expression, Qi Jingzhi immediately sneered: "It's just a little evil, if you Golden Bottle kid wants to threaten the captain of this camp with this, you will inevitably want to be blind!" No matter what kind of southern rainbow you are, the big demon country and the small demon country, you can't escape from my palm tonight, and don't even think about it! ”
Before he finished speaking, he stretched out his right palm towards Heaven and Earth Xuanjian.
The hanging mirror immediately flew in front of it, spitting out a long-feathered arrow.
Different from the previous time in the hands of Gao Tianzhang, this feather arrow not only has a four-edged arrow as white as frost and snow, but also has a complete arrow body, and the black arrow feathers at the end are particularly conspicuous.
Seeing this strange-looking feather arrow, not only the face of the golden bottle child changed greatly, but even the Dao Chenghuang also showed a face full of surprise, just because the black tail feathers were actually condensed by the evil qi of the general of the high heavens.
Originally, in their opinion, the so-called Demon Detection Treasure Mirror could devour the bodies of the water-gown ghosts and the high heavens in one fell swoop, which was already ferocious, but they didn't expect that even the evil qi in the spirit could be refined at the same time, which was simply unbelievable and terrifying!
Qi Jingzhi seemed to remember something, suddenly chuckled, and pointed the arrow at the eyes above the head of the Golden Bottle Child: "Golden Bottle Child, I call you, do you dare to agree?" ”
The boy in the golden bottle changed color in shock, and hurriedly closed his eyes, but unfortunately it was too late, and let out a terrible scream, and then fell from the stool.
The golden vial it was holding fell to the ground with a muffled thud, and it rolled on the ground a few times, just in front of the spoken.
The boy immediately waved his hand, jumped off the wooden bench with his two brothers, and together he helped the golden bottle up, and reached out in unison with great tacit understanding, pressing the head and twisting the arm, and even holding the hands that could kill with a snap of their fingers.
Qi Jingzhi was just playful for a while, and he was a little surprised when he saw this.
Originally, in his mind, the golden bottle child can be with Gao Tianzhangren, even if his cultivation ability is not comparable to the other party, it should not be far behind, but he didn't expect that facing the general's feather arrow would be so unbearable.
"Could it be that this golden bottle child belongs to the half of the human race, and is actually a child who needs to pass the test? Or is it that this general's feather arrow has been refined by the Heaven and Earth Xuanjian, and it has become more and more refined and supernatural, and its power is better than before, and the golden bottle child has just lost his guard in a hurry, and then he has set his way? ”
Seeing that the golden bottle child had straight eyes and a confused mind, as if he had lost his soul, Qi Jing's heart moved, and he immediately asked, "Let me ask you, have you ever killed innocent people before?" ”
He asked three times in a row, and the golden bottle boy replied intermittently, "No...... Zeng, my mother was not allowed...... I...... Random...... Harm. ”
Qi Jingzhi nodded, and then asked, "You just said that you are the Beihong lineage of the Great Demon Kingdom, but you are telling the truth?" ”
Seeing that the Golden Vase Child nodded in confusion, he immediately asked again: "Where is the Great Demon Kingdom?" ”
This time, the golden bottle child shook his head, and spoke much more fluently, as if he was about to regain his senses: "Father refuses to speak, and he refuses to take me there." It also forbade me to call myself Beihong, so I could only use the name Chen Jinhua to live in the world, and let me serve my mother and father well. ”
As he spoke, the golden bottle child actually deflated, showing a very annoyed and aggrieved look.
"Huh?" Qi Jingzhi was slightly stunned.
He turned his mind before he reacted, the father and the father in the mouth of the golden bottle child are clearly not the same, the father is the Beihong family, and the father is the Chen family, which is really ...... There is nothing to say.
Qi Jingzhi groaned slightly, knowing that most of them couldn't ask about the internal affairs of the Great Demon, and he had no intention of inquiring about the private affairs of others, so he turned his gaze to Dao Chenghuang, and even pointed at the arrow with the general's feather arrow.
With this strange feather arrow in his hand, he can really distinguish demons and evil and check criminal karma at this moment.
Dao Chenghuang was pointed at by the arrow, his body froze suddenly, and his expression changed several times, not to mention indignation, anger, fear and depression.
After a few breaths, it finally sighed, lowered its head and said: "Don't dare to ask Lord Lieutenant, although I have never harmed innocent people with my own hands, but these Dao Essence Paths under my command are strange by nature, and they have more or less done things that lead people astray......
"However, whether the Dao Jinglu monster is good or evil, it is not up to oneself. The so-called nature, in the final analysis, is just according to the way of the world and the hearts of the people, changing with the world and the times. The battalion captain's mirror hangs high, his eyes are like a torch, and he hopes to be more aware of the situation and raise his noble hand! ”
Hearing "confined by nature" and "involuntarily self-contained", Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but sneer: "Not necessarily, right? What nature do you keep saying, and I ask you, is it the nature of the road monster or the evil nature of the road to lead the traveler astray? ”
Without waiting for Dao Chenghuang to respond, he opened his mouth again and recited: "The worry of being lost, the suffering of the wrong path, wandering in the Tao, guiding others, good and evil, life and death!" ”
This is the judgment of Heaven and Earth Xuanjian, and it must not be faked. The so-called black-and-white road god seems to be a spirit reborn from the arrow monument, but in fact, it has long been completely infected and degenerated by the evil spirit of the road and the sorrow of travelers.
Hearing Qi Jingzhi's words, especially the four words "Lu Sha Evil", the two pairs of black and white road gods who had been silent and the four kobolds immediately became emotional, and the maid with a white cat face even let out an incomprehensible cat meow.
Qi Jingzhi looked around, saw all the reactions of these guys, shook his head and said: "Let's talk about this body involuntarily, maybe there is indeed a lot of poison in the hearts of the world, but if you say that you are completely inautonomous, I don't believe it." ”
"The arrow stele was originally set up by the people here in order to block evil, and it turned into a spirit over time, and it should also be a spirit that protects the human race, so it will be named by the people as the black and white road god, as long as he is dedicated to his duties, he may not be able to get a serious background in the future......"
"Let the captain of the camp guess, you have given birth to spiritual wisdom, but because of this, you have selfish greed, and gradually indulge in teasing and even killing the travelers, eating their sorrows to fatten themselves, and finally lose their hearts and turn into evil people!"
"Dao Chenghuang, you have harmed innocent lives, and you can't help yourself and want to get rid of your crimes, where is there such a beautiful thing in the world?"
Hearing this, the expressions of the people who were full of spirit road monsters became subtle, and there was a little more cruel and vicious in fear.
The golden bottle child didn't know when he had woken up, and he was still in the mood to clap his hands and laugh at this moment: "Dao Chenghuang, although you have not harmed anyone, but you cannot escape the crime of connivance and cover-up, if you don't clean up the portal at this time, I am afraid that there will be no chance!" ”
Qi Jingzhi glanced at this mountain spirit, who was actually quite pitiful, and said indifferently: "The captain of this camp has met three pairs of black and white road gods one after another, and the two pairs of Budai Stream and Niutou Cliff have all wanted to do harm, and they have been swallowed by the treasure mirror of the captain of this camp......
As he spoke, he looked at the pair of black and white road gods shaped like long poles: "I thought that I was still good and evil, and there was no difference between reward and punishment, but who knew that it was just a matter of course, but in fact, it was already a thousand miles wrong!" It is difficult to describe all the merits and demerits for a while, but since you have become evil and committed murder, you should know that the law is clear and the karma of sin cannot be escaped! ”
Hearing this, Lishan Guangye suddenly interjected: "Brother Shi, if you really judge this crime, I'm afraid these guys will be swept away!" As a result, the road was hastily lost, and the people near the left were killed and injured more than before. ”
Qi Jingzhi turned his head to look at him: "That's not right, when I take care of the remaining three dead clothes, the evil mountain spirits in this vicinity will be swept away first, and then what's the use of these scourges called road gods, which are actually road evils?" ”
"Even if the roads and mountains are ownerless, and he is nourished by the wild nature of road monsters and mountain spirits, he should be dealt with by the Demon Suppression Courtyard and the county Yin Si according to the law, and should never be as laissez-faire as before. If they are lazy and disgusting, and the corpse is vegetarian, I will naturally do it for me! ”
When he said this, Qi Jingzhi was thinking about the Jiaozhen Monument under the Xun River.
Since the water Jiao in the Xun River was beheaded and Jiao was suppressed, no matter how unruly the water monarch bred by the wild nature of the river was, it was always not as good as before, and even the generations were shifting towards the shape of the human race, which is an excellent example and example.
The roads and mountains in the north of Meizhou are not as good as the Xunjiang River, and it is much easier to cook.
Qi Jingzhi was thinking at the moment of subduing the wildness, sweeping away the demonic atmosphere, and returning the people and travelers here to a bright future, and he did not mean to say goodbye to the Demon Suppression Courtyard and the Yin Division.
When Lishan Guangye heard this, he showed a sudden look, and only said that this brother wanted to lose the face of those two families, so as to show the diligence and prestige of Gou Chen Yuan.
He had already decided to take refuge in Gou Chen Yuan, so he naturally did not hesitate to correct his position, and immediately straightened his face and said to Dao Chenghuang: "I was brought by you to drink and feast tonight, and we are considered to be affectionate to each other, but the law is ruthless, and I will never dare to abolish the public for personal gain." ”
Lishan Guangye paused, and suddenly changed his words: "It's just that if I'm not mistaken, your body is either a drunken immortal or a tumbler, and you are not a Dao Spirit Road Monster, so you really can't die with these road evils who harm people's lives." ”
As he spoke, he lowered his gaze on Qi Jingzhi's spiritual official armor, and when he saw that he couldn't see anything unusual, he put his mind at ease and continued to say to Dao Chenghuang: "If you voluntarily abolish obscenity, give up your hypocrisy, and offer the people's incense to my Hook Chen Courtyard as atonement...... The battalion captain has noticed the situation, and it is not that he can't spare your life! ”
Qi Jingzhi was dumbfounded when he heard this, and always felt that Lishan Guangye's face was quite similar to Chen Er when he asked for a bribe that day.
It's just that compared with the innocent and blackmailed Orion boy in the past, Dao Chenghuang, as the leader of a group of road demons, cannot escape the charge of connivance and negligence, and he is an evil god and obscenity, and he should be exterminated according to the law.
Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but glared at Lishan Guangye angrily.
Originally, he was punished in accordance with the law in an upright manner, and with the face of Lishan Guangye, it seemed that he bent the law for personal gain and openly asked for bribes.
"Drunken Immortal...... Tumbler ......"
Dao Chenghuang muttered for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "This official has been acting in the name of Dao Chenghuang for decades, how can he not be regarded as a Dao Jinglu monster?" ”
Lishan Hirono shook his head: "Drunken immortal catchers, wine utensils also." The drinking mat carved wood is human, and sharp under it, placed in the plate, left and right sides, like a dance, the strength of the long time is quiet, depending on its transmission of the plan, the reward is a cup. ”
Dao Chenghuang's expression became solemn, and his eyes showed a look of reminiscence, and he bowed his head lightly: "If you really want to talk about it in detail, this is still an old custom that was fashionable one or two hundred years ago, and it is not very common now. ”
"At that time, the people sat around the table, and put the drunken catcher on a plate and on the table, and the eldest began to twist it with his hand, and when it stopped, he pointed his finger at whoever drank it, and the drinker continued to twist and turn, and so on until he had had his pleasure."
Later, the literati disliked this method as too vulgar and unliterate, and the vulgar and unliterate people also felt that this kind of drinking was not refreshing enough and difficult to enjoy, and the drunken fairy gradually disappeared from the wine table, but it was slightly changed by those who were interested in it, and became a plaything in the hands of children. This has to mention the words 'easier with the world and change with the times'. ”
Lishan Guangye suddenly said: "No wonder you can sit on this city god position!" The tumbler is not only a child's plaything, but it naturally entrusts the love of parents and their children, and they are born to deal with the general who caused the death of children......"
Dao Chenghuang nodded: "The people of Gao Tianzhang are born in all directions, with holes like holes and sounds like the wind. Although I don't have the means to turn over the palm of the battalion captain to eliminate demons, I can finally barely withstand the wind and rain in all directions without falling, so as not to let it run amok. ”
"However, in recent years, the world's perception of tumblers has changed again, so that my cultivation has not advanced but retreated, and it has become more and more difficult to resist the invasion of evil qi in the mountains, and I am even unable to shelter and restrain the spirits under my command, watching them be infected by evil qi, and gradually losing my heart."
Speaking of this, Dao Chenghuang's face became more and more complicated, and his tone was even more resentful: "There are some so-called talents in this world who are full of food and have nothing to do, just because the tumbler is often made into an official, they want to use it as a raft, and play some tricks of borrowing things to satirize people, saying that 'the head is sharp and can drill, the stomach is empty, the crown is dignified, the face and the heart are dirty, it seems to be easy to fall, and it is not pounced'!" ”
"That's, tumblers are just children's playthings, how can they afford such stigma?"
"The two of you turned this night banquet upside down, and I just sat back and ignored it like a clay carved wood sculpture, not willing to endure humiliation and dirt, but because I have received the incense of the people, I will be controlled by the hearts of the world, and I have no power to turn over and struggle!"
Qi Jingzhi's heart moved when he heard this, most of the obscenities in the world are evil gods, and this is one of the root causes.
Even if the tumbler in front of him received the sacrificial incense of the Dao Chenghuang, but people's hearts are changeable and the incense is mixed, it is still affected by the thoughts of the tumbler in the hearts of the world, and gradually becomes a useless appearance.
Lishan Guangye Rao on the side is well-informed, and he can't help but be stunned at this time.
This Lingtai Lang showed a ridiculous look on his face, and only after a long time sighed, he actually opened his mouth and chanted a poem: "The black gauze jade belt is like an official, and this Weng is half a muddy ball." Suddenly I will break you to pieces, and I have no heart and liver all over my body! ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a clattering and cracking sound in the hall.
Dense cracks appeared around the Dao Chenghuang sitting on the bench, and immediately with a loud bang, it turned into fragments all over the ground in front of everyone's eyes.
This funny monster with eight-character eyebrows, mouse eyes, thick white putty on his face, and blush on his cheeks disappeared in an instant, and he directly followed in the footsteps of the shopkeeper.
As far as Qi Jingzhi's eyes could see, he saw a black gauze crown and a crimson official robe fluttering down.
