A dense crowd instantly appeared in the hall of the illusory world, and in just a moment, the entire hall was already full. Fortunately, the main hall is virtual, and it can continue to expand with the increase of the number of people, otherwise I am afraid that the main hall will not collapse.

"Master!"

"Master! You're here! ”

"Master!"

……

After Wang Youcai and the others were confused for a while, they couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw Ma Xiaoniu sitting on the throne, and shouted one after another. Ma Xiaoniu glanced at it and found that the five Wang Youcai and the five demons of the White Tiger had not changed much, and the thirty years did not seem to have left a mark on them. Ma Xiaoniu nodded slightly, and continued to scan the members of the Demon Valley standing below, and at a glance, it was densely packed with human heads, boundless. Among so many people, those hundreds of thousands of people are like droplets falling into the sea, and it is really difficult to find.

"Valley Lord!"

Everyone shouted in unison, a large part of these people had seen Ma Xiaoniu, and they didn't seem so excited, while a small number of them saw Ma Xiaoniu for the first time, so they couldn't help but blush with excitement, and some even burst into tears. You know, among the members of the Demon Valley, the Demon Hero is their god, their faith!

Ma Maverick nodded. Then he looked at Wang Youcai, and Wang Youcai took a step forward.

"Youcai, thirty years have passed, how many members of the Demon Valley have increased?"

Wang Youcai was stunned for a moment, and his face was complicated and he arched his hand: "Master, it has increased by about 300,000." ”

"The average is only 10,000 per year, which is not a lot!"

Wang Youcai fell to his knees and shouted, "Please punish the master!" ”

The other four people and five demons also fell to their knees and shouted, "I am willing to be punished for my senior brother!" ”

Ma Xiaoniu shook his head, stretched out his hand, helped Wang Youcai and them up, and said with a smile: "When did I say that I would punish your senior brother?" ”

Everyone was overjoyed, but Wang Youcai said: "Master, the average rate of 10,000 a year is indeed slow, but there is a reason for this." ”

"Well, say!" Ma Xiaoniu glanced at the members of the Demon Valley, and probably had a guess in his heart.

Wang Youcai gave up his hand: "Master, after you left, our Demon Valley has never stopped recruiting disciples once a year, but the first time was okay, there were 200,000 people who came to sign up, and the second time was okay, there were nearly 100,000 applicants, but since the third year, the number has decreased sharply, until recent years, there are even only a dozen people coming to sign up each time." ”

"Oh? Why is that? ”

"At first, I was also surprised, so I sent someone down to investigate, and the result of the investigation was that some people in society advertised that if the human race entered my Demon Valley, it would become a monster. This is simply unacceptable for ordinary people who have always valued bloodline, so the number of people who have signed up to join my Demon Valley has been decreasing over the years, which is also the main reason for the sharp decline in the number of applicants. Wang Youcai frowned and said.

For the demonization of the human race, Ma Xiaoniu has long known it. It's just that what he didn't expect was that this would become the reason why the Terrans resisted joining the Demon Valley. In fact, if you think about it, it's not wrong for the Terrans to do this. After all, no one wants their children to become youkai. And the fundamental reason why there is demonization is that the kung fu learned by these human races is all demon methods, and there is naturally no problem with the cultivation of these demon methods and goblins, but there will be such and such strange changes in the cultivation of the human race. This can be seen from the five people of Wang Youcai, but if they don't do this, where will the exercises cultivated by the human race come from?

Ma Xiaoniu pondered for a long time and said, "Let the Terrans who joined later come out and let me take a look." ”

As soon as the words fell, many people came out of the crowd, and these people were hidden among the crowds and difficult to find, but after they came out, they were also dense, and they could not see the edge at a glance.

Ma Xiaoniu glanced and found that these people had indeed undergone strange changes. Some people's hair turned green, and the skin on the back of their hands became like tree bark. Some have two brown-yellow curved horns growing out of thin air on the top of their heads, and some have a slender hairless tail that sits out of the back of their buttocks, sweeping around their backs. All in all, 300,000 people, everyone is different, even if it is the same kind of demon method that is cultivated, but the location of the demon is not the same.

Ma Xiaoniu glanced around and said lightly: "What do you think about such a change in yourself?" ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and their faces were complicated. One of them arched his hand and said: "Valley Master, at first we were not used to it, but after a long time, we found that this kind of demonization is actually very beneficial, for example, I have a lot of scales on my back, once I exercise, my back will be as hard as iron, and ordinary attacks will not hurt me at all." So, I don't think that's a bad thing, it's a good thing. ”

"Yes, there are many benefits to this change. Some can increase strength, some can increase defense, and some will be given all sorts of strange abilities, but these abilities will only be good for themselves, not bad. The speaker's beak has been demonized into a bird's beak, and a pair of plain white wings have grown on either side of his back.

"Yes, that's right."

"I'm for it."

……

Ma Xiaoniu nodded, stood up and walked down the steps with his hands behind his back: "The problem now is that the secular people don't agree with this change, and I can understand this. However, if I want to continue to develop in Demon Valley, we can't do without the support of the people, so we must think of a solution. Ma Xiaoniu stopped and glanced at everyone, "From now on, if anyone has a good solution, they can come to me at any time." I will stay on Earth for a month, and whoever can make a good suggestion during this month will definitely be rewarded! Okay, let's go back and think about it! After speaking, the illusion world was shattered, and Ma Xiaoniu's consciousness returned to his body. Closing the notebook, Ma Xiaoniu walked out of the cave with his hands behind his back, and just stood by the lake for a while, when he saw the sound of hurried footsteps coming out of the path between the bamboo forests, and then more than a dozen people poured out of the path. Ma Xiaoniu looked at it and saw that in addition to Wang Youcai's five people, the five demons of the white tiger, there were also Zaobo, Jintong, and Haiwa.

More than thirty years have passed, and the years have not left their mark on these people. Zao Bo is still an old man, holding a jujube cane, with a smile on his face, full of kindness. Every time he saw Zaobo, Ma Xiaoniu's heart gushed out of thin air. After all, it's the jujube uncle - the big jujube tree in the yard has accompanied him from childhood to adulthood. It can be said that Zaobo is his only relative now. The golden boy and Haiwa are still like that, after all, they have eaten the golden boy's Zhuyan Dan, and their appearance has long been the same.

"Daddy!" As usual, the golden boy threw himself into the arms of the horse calf. Ma Xiaoniu touched the head of the golden boy dotingly, so many years have passed, but the temperament of the golden boy has not changed at all, maybe the growth cycle of the Creation Divine Clay is different, right? Haiwa stood by and watched, but her eyes were filled with tears. Haiwa is not a golden boy, although her appearance has not changed much, but her mind has already matured, after all, according to her age, Haiwa is also eighty or ninety years old.

"Haiwa, what realm have you cultivated?"

"My lord, I have cultivated to the Heavenly Spirit Realm, and I am currently at the third level of the Heavenly Spirit Realm." Haiwa's two elephant ears fanned, and with a childlike face that has not changed, it looks very cute.

Ma Xiaoniu nodded: "The Heavenly Spirit Realm Spirit Domain should be transformed from virtual to real, which is very good." He turned his head to look at Uncle Zao again, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zao, is your body okay?" ”

Zao Bo stroked his long green beard and smiled kindly: "Little cow, I am more or less a demon cultivator, how can there be anything?" But you, haven't you suffered any sins all these years? ”

"Look at my waist, where does it look like I have been sinned?" Ma Xiaoniu laughed.

"Daddy! Why don't you ask me what level of cultivation I have reached? The golden boy was dissatisfied, raised his head and asked. Ma Xiaoniu smiled and said, "Aren't you at the peak of the Hongmeng Realm Hell Realm?" I already know. ”

"Cut, that was thirty years ago, and now I'm in the fairy realm!" The golden boy was triumphant, and the corners of his mouth could be curled to the sky. Haiwa covered her mouth and snickered. Ma Xiaoniu's face turned dark, what a special person is more popular than a dead person, he has not even reached the god level of the realm of all things for so many years, and the golden boy has already reached the realm of immortals! In that case, how strong should the Golden Boy be now?

"Okay, okay, I got it. Let's go play with Haiwa. The two of them were sent away, and Ma Xiaoniu and Zaobo sat down on the withered grass at will, it was the middle of winter, everything withered, and the lake was covered with thick ice.

"You've got money, there's nothing wrong with it in the past 30 years, right?"

The five people and five demons stood behind, and Wang Youcai arched his hand and said, "Master, there is nothing else." The biggest thing now is the problem of low registration, and more than twenty years ago, an organization appeared called 'Guardian Vein', which means to protect the human bloodline. This organization did not directly conflict with my Demon Valley, but hid among the people, secretly propagandizing, but it had a great impact. Originally, the common people were afraid of the phenomenon of demonization, coupled with the propaganda of this 'vein protection', some people have begun to be hostile to my Demon Valley, if it weren't for my Demon Valley's long-term elimination of evil and promotion of good, and its reputation is outside, I am afraid it would have been demonized long ago. ”

Ma Xiaoniu frowned: "How much do you know about this 'vein protection' now?" ”

Wang Youcai shook his head: "The 'Protective Vein' is hidden among the people, it is difficult to investigate, and after so many years, we have only investigated a little bit of information. We only know that the head of the 'vein' is called the 'root', and we don't know anything else. ”

"Roots?" Ma Xiaoniu frowned, waved his hand and said, "This matter must be investigated quickly, and at all costs, we must find out who this person is!" ”

"Yes!" The five people and five demons left with their hands.

"There is already an irreconcilable gap between humans and demons, even if this 'vein protection' is eradicated, there will still be in the future." Zao Bo got a fishing rod out of nowhere and hung down in an ice cave to fish.

"Zaobo, do you think this is difficult to eliminate?"

Zao Bo sat cross-legged, looked at Ma Xiaoniu and smiled: "Xiaoniu, do you know how people are born?" ”
