Chapter 80: Demon Beasts
The village chief's family regarded us as benefactors, and they were very grateful, and they even served us good wine and food, so why did they keep us for a few days.
The woman slept all night before she slowly woke up, but after all, with my spiritual power, she recovered naturally faster. In less than a day, she was able to barely get out of bed, but her face was still a little pale, and I had to take advantage of the night to spend some spiritual energy for her. So he did not shirk the kindness of the village chief, and stayed in this village for two days.
Before leaving, the village chief pointed us in the direction of the northeast, and prepared a few carriages in the village for us, as well as a cart of dry food. I've had a lot of interactions with people in the past, but this is the first time I've actually been in contact with them like this.
However, in the end, I still refused the carriage, except for Ah Nian's sake, leaving some dry food. The village chief's family sent us out of nearly five miles before reluctantly going back.
It wasn't until I watched them walk away that Ah Nian said to me meaningfully, "It's really strange to be a mortal. ”
I couldn't explain anything to him this time, because it was the first time I'd ever experienced something like this. But at the moment, I think more about the appearance of the mother when she had a difficult birth.
Traveling northeast, we quickened our journey, passing by a number of cottages and towns on the way, and in the evening of the next day, we came to a place called Longting Town. Maybe it was because I was too fast, and I felt a little unwell, so I had to stay in town for one night.
Along the way, Ah Nian had several contacts with mortals, and seemed to have begun to adapt to the noisy environment of towns and villages in the human world, and his initial discomfort was much reduced. At this time, I saw the shadow of a mortal more and more from him, after all, his body was flowing with a part of mortal blood.
We found an inn to stay in and asked for two adjoining rooms. Ah Nian also seemed to be able to understand the difference between men and women, so he returned to his residence early.
I, on the other hand, felt a little bored living alone, so I knocked on his door.
"Why haven't you rested yet?"
"It's a bit hot and dry, and it's hard to sleep. ”
I walked straight into his room and sat across from him across the coffee table.
"Since you can't sleep, let's chat and relieve fatigue. ”
I looked at him and waited for him to start the conversation. It seems that this journey has become a habit, and what he sees and hears, he will never ask questions at the first time, but after that, he can't help but ask me.
"There are many rules for mortals, and there is a complete set of management systems, but I saw some people kneeling and worshipping a stone statue in that salted fish village today, but the stone statue does not look like a serious god, why don't they worship their emperor or god, but worship a stone statue?"
"You should know the fairy world, right? It is a special existence between the divine realm and the human realm. In fact, there is no real fairy world, because the fairy world is not a unified time and space, but exists in some special spaces between the human world and the world, and these places usually either accumulate spiritual energy or turbid energy. Some people or demons stumble upon these spaces, and use the aura or turbidity in them to cultivate, and after a long time, they will practice immortal spirits and eventually become immortals.
In order to get along with each other and not invade each other, or to form an alliance and cultivate together, these immortals gathered together, formulated many rules and orders by themselves, and then gathered the power of all immortals to open up the thirty-six heavens and thirty-six earths, each divided their territories and duties, and even established the ghost world ruled by the Heavenly Court and the Hades King led by the Jade Emperor in imitation of the human world. In short, their system is more complicated than the human world, after all, the thirty-six heavens they have opened up, each of which has its own unique rules.
It is said that the divine realm did not let the fairy world go unchecked, so it arranged for the "Sanqing" god who was born shortly after the beginning of heaven and earth to intervene in the fairy world, and finally even the Jade Emperor had to listen to the orders of the "Sanqing".
"The people you see who mortals worship are immortals like the Jade Emperor. ”
"What are the benefits of visiting immortals?"
"Many immortals are cultivated by mortals, and naturally they also retain some feelings for mortals, so they often do their best to help mortals do some good things, and they are naturally loved by mortals. ”
"Mortals really take love very seriously. Ah Nian was thoughtful.
"Actually, I only know the surface of the Six Realms, and just one is difficult to understand. I paused, as if to say to myself, "If I hadn't met him, I wouldn't have truly experienced the seven emotions and six desires of mortals." ”
"He, the father of the child?"
I looked out the window, which was kind of a default.
"Actually, I don't understand, how did you have a child with a mortal?"
"The life of mortals is very simple, although the feelings of mortals are complicated, but once they meet the right person, they are extremely sincere and persistent, so there will be a kind of bond, for this person, this love, sometimes even life can be wanted, isn't it amazing?
"The first time I met Yun Jin, Yun Jin attacked me, he was a mortal who could stand in front of me without hesitation, and when he knew that I was an alien, he was willing to choose to betray all human beings and walk with me. Let me ask, in the Six Realms, will other beings have such unhesitating emotions?"
"How is it not? The same is true of the emperor's love for his mother. ”
I turned my head to look at him, and I saw a certainty in his eyes that I had never seen before. At this moment, I had a conjecture: Did the Demon Emperor let him go to the human world to experience it so that he could feel the emotions of mortals? The dignified Demon Domain Supreme, how could he let his son be stumped by the Seven Emotions and Six Desires? He was just afraid that all the Demon Clans would be like the torture demon, desireless and ruthless, right?
While I was pondering, suddenly a burst of spiritual energy flowed outside the window. We didn't seem to notice anything unusual all the way, or were we in a hurry and didn't even pay attention?
In an instant, a familiar smell rushed into my nose: demons!
Ah Nian obviously felt it too, he looked at me with some confusion, I knew that he wanted to ask me: Isn't it impossible to use spiritual power in the human world?
I didn't have time to explain to him, so I got up and hid myself, and jumped out of the window, and he naturally followed suit.
That demonic aura is mixed with blood, and it must not be the breath that a good kind should have. But strangely, after following for a long time, I couldn't see my real body. Coming out of the inn, I went all the way north until I got out of Longting Town, and stopped in front of a secluded house in the suburbs.
Maybe it's a habit formed when I used to hunt demons, but whenever I encounter this kind of evil demon or demon breath, I can't help but follow it to find out, and then I remember, it seems that I haven't devoured the true essence of demons for a long, long time, and now I somehow followed. But now, it seems that I don't have to use such a sinister method to enhance my spiritual power.
But since you're here, let's find out what's going on.
I motioned for Ah Nian to sneak under the window of the cabin and listen intently to the sounds in the room. So, after a short silence, there was a small and broken voice, and then I heard the tender voice of a woman.
"Brother Divine Beast, you can just say a word to others. Look, I'm almost in human form, isn't it that when I get into the form of a human, you won't be so old and ignore others?" The cheerful voice was like that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. But when I looked through the window, I only saw a half-human, half-beast, monster with colorful feathers all over its body, and it was wrapped in a strong smell of blood, and I don't know how many mortals I had eaten.
Opposite her, there sat a serious-looking, angular man, dressed in very ordinary clothes, but he couldn't hide the majesty of his body. And it doesn't look like an ordinary mortal. Even when he sits, he can see that his body is very burly, especially the hands he puts on the armrests, which are even more protruding, and they are very powerful at a glance.
The monster turned its back to us and continued to talk to himself to the man, but strangely enough, the man was not listening to her at all, and even turned his gaze away, not even giving her a look of disdain.
Looking at the characteristics of the monster, it doesn't seem to look like a beast in the human world, plus the demonic energy on her body, most of them are demon beasts, and I don't know what the real body will look like.
Monsters, a very strange kind of creature that I know. Although demon beasts are also classified as demons, they are different from demon clans. Although some demons are also cultivated by beasts, they are the aura absorbed by the day after tomorrow, but the demon beasts seem to be born with gods with a very pure demonic energy, and if they are cultivated again, most of them will directly become immortals and demons. But demon beasts are very rare, there have been a few in the Lush Forest, but they have all been driven out by other demon clans, as for the human world, this is the only one I have ever seen...... Perhaps, it should be considered one, after all, she is already about to cultivate into a human form. But the strange thing to me is that the cultivation of demon beasts does not seem to need to kill excessively, just find a place to absorb the aura, and this one, how could he choose to eat people and cultivate?
Just as I was thinking about it, Ah Nian suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me back. Suddenly, a fierce aura came from inside the house and approached my door, if Ah Nian hadn't pulled me away in time, I was afraid that I would have been splashed with blood on the spot now. I wanted to activate the spiritual power immediately, but I found that the spiritual power that I could use was very limited, and I couldn't even summon Bai Aya. Could it be because I had given birth to a woman in that village? But how could I not have noticed it in advance when it came to me with a very murderous spiritual power in the past?
I can't continue to wonder, Ah Nian has protected me behind me, and in front of my eyes, there is already a strong spiritual collision and tearing fight.
Hearing only a "bang", the monster instantly withdrew the spiritual power that stabbed Ah Nian one by one, and then grabbed the window out, its body suddenly became larger, and a pair of huge wings suddenly opened from the shoulder armor behind her, and in the blink of an eye, the entire room was blocked. With a long, poignant and sharp roar, the monster turned into a huge multicolored giant bird and pounced directly on us. That claw alone was enough to grab me and Ah Nian together and tear them to pieces!
At this moment, I saw Ah Nianxiang motionless as if he had taken root, staring directly at the giant bird that was rapidly approaching us. Just before the bird's claws touched his shoulder, I heard him shout, and then a bright light pierced me and I had to close my eyes. When he opened it again, he saw that the giant bird's body had shrunk several times, and at this time it was obviously injured, and it had reverted to the form of a half-man and half-beast, and he fell to the ground, with blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, and gasping for breath. And in Ah Nian's hand, there was already an extra golden giant axe, and that feeling was somewhat similar to the Dancing Sky Shield summoned by the Demon Emperor that day.
The monster was obviously outnumbered, and it was difficult to even stand up.
Ah Nian raised the tomahawk again, and was about to slash it again, but the door of the room opened, and standing at the door was the man with an extremely serious expression just now.
"Stop!" he scolded, making me feel like the ground around me was shaking, and it felt familiar.
Ah Nian was also shocked by his drink, and the giant axe stopped in mid-air, without slashing down again.
Before we could respond, the man fixed his gaze on the battle axe in Ah Nian's hand: "This is...... Heaven-shattering battle axe?"
"Yes, you actually recognize this divine soldier?" Ah Nian replied.
"The god of war, the god of punishment, I know it. You...... Was...... Chiyou bloodline?"
"Yes, Chiyou is my great-grandfather. ”
"Ernai Demons. ”
Ah Nian snorted coldly and raised the tomahawk again, apparently wanting to chop with the man.
"Wait!" I grabbed in front of him and grabbed his hand. Suddenly, a force backlashed and almost shook me out, but fortunately, Ah Nian stopped in time and withdrew his spiritual power.
I adjusted my breathing slightly and said to the man, "Unexpectedly, ancient beasts can also transform into human forms. ”
I am extremely sure at this moment that the man in front of me is the divine beast that guards the forbidden domain of Lingzhi, Jairus.
