Chapter 2: Ghosts are a joke
In the small wooden house, a black sword light burst out.
Call!
In the fierce sword qi, the flame candle was extinguished.
The wind and rain that poured into the wooden house also froze at this moment.
Click.
Mu Qingyao couldn't see the situation around her, and in the darkness, she heard a chopping sound.
Then the room fell completely silent.
Mu Qingyao could clearly hear her thunderous heartbeat.
Even if she is the lord of the county, even if she reads poetry and books, even if she has a good mind, she is only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
In the face of the wolf demon, it is false to say that you are not afraid.
A pungent smell of blood filled the air.
Mu Qingyao's two little hands clenched tightly, she didn't know whether the source of the bloody aura was the black-clothed boy or the three-eyed blood wolf.
The candle flame was rekindled.
illuminated the grim cheeks of the black-clothed boy.
At the entrance,
The blood wolf's massive head had been neatly cut off, its fangs wide open, and it was too dead to die anymore.
The three wolves had a terrifying look in their eyes, as if they had seen a terrifying predator.
The night is quieter.
The wolves in the distance howled incessantly, sounding eerie.
It wasn't until the young man in black kicked the wolf's head out of the door and closed the door again that Mu Qingyao realized that he was out of danger.
The little county lord opened his mouth slightly, and looked at the black-clothed young man incredulously.
That's a wolf demon that even cultivators can devour!
was actually beheaded!
It seems that the young man in black did not kill a demon wolf, but a wild dog that broke into his house.
Slaying demons is like slaughtering dogs!
"I will repay you for saving my life."
Mu Qingyao said softly, slowly dissipating the fear in her heart.
"I don't need to say thank you, I chased it for dozens of miles last month, and I was so tired that I didn't say that I escaped from it, I should thank you."
The black-clothed young man was lying on the wooden couch with a knife in his arms, and said lazily.
"You saved me, I won't forget, dare to ask Your Excellency's name." Mu Qing Yao said.
"There is a shortage of clouds, a lack of money."
Mu Qingyao was surprised when she heard this.
In the name of shortage, it is really rare.
"There are my old clothes in the box, they are all washed, if you are not afraid of the cold, you can not change them."
Yun Que turned over with a knife, his face facing inward, and his back to the little county lord.
Mu Qingyao was already shivering from the cold, and her robe soaked by the heavy rain was very uncomfortable.
The little county lord pursed his lips and hesitated.
"I'm sure you're a good guy."
After speaking softly, Mu Qingyao got up and found a set of old clothes that were lacking in the clouds and began to change.
The sound of rustling is particularly clear in the silent midnight.
Yun Que suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes were clear and cold, and the knife in his arms was slowly unsheathed.
The sharp blade passed through a cold glow, and the body of the knife clearly reflected the candle flame and everything behind him.
Then Yun Que's eyes began to change, becoming surprised and shocked.
"What a big ......"
"What?"
Mu Qingyao, who had just finished changing her clothes, said inexplicably.
"It's raining so hard."
Yun Que's voice was calm as usual.
At some point, it rained heavily outside, and the sound of the raindrops drowned out the howl of wolves in the distance.
"The wolves are still there." Mu Qingyao said worriedly.
"They don't dare to come in, you can find a way by yourself when you are sleepy, and I will sleep first."
Yun Que yawned, and soon snoring sounded.
Surrounded by wolves, he could still fall asleep so quickly, Mu Qingyao had to admire the courage of the young man in front of him.
She sat at the wooden table and stared at the candle flames.
Recalling the various crises experienced along the way, and thinking of the guards and old men who were devoured by the demon wolf, my mood became heavier and heavier.
The little lord was so tired that he lay down on the table and fell asleep.
She had a nightmare.
I dreamed that in the small wooden house, there was a youkai that was more terrible than the wolves, and it was waving its teeth and claws at her.
Until early in the morning, Mu Qingyao woke up in a nightmare.
The wolf howl outside the house is gone.
On the wooden couch, the grim black-clothed young man was asleep on all fours, long lost the coldness of slaying the demon last night, and there was saliva on the corner of his mouth, muttering like a dream, so big, so big......
I don't know exactly what I dreamed of.
Mu Qingyao smiled helplessly.
The other party is the same age as her, but she lives alone in the mountains, and must have experienced hardships that no one knows.
Mu Qingyao tried to recall where the custom of setting up graves for the living came from.
Soon Yun Que woke up, turned out a sharp boning knife and went out, and skinned the wolf skin in less than a quarter of an hour.
After Yun Que returned to the house, he put the wolf skin into a black bag, put it behind his back and said:
"I'm going back to town, you can't go."
"Zangshi Town, I want to go too." Mu Qingyao nodded, secretly surprised in her heart.
That's a giant wolf more than one person tall, and no matter how experienced a hunter is, it will take more than an hour to skin it alone, which is only a little bigger!
"Then let's go together, but let's say okay, you have breakfast for you."
Yun Que pushed the door and walked out.
After dawn, Mu Qingyao saw the surrounding environment clearly.
Although the cabin is built halfway up the mountain, there is a mountain stream behind the house.
She stumbled last night and didn't even look at the road, and if she fell into a mountain stream, she would die.
After a while, Mu Qingyao just wanted to take a step, but suddenly fixed at the door, and her beautiful eyes were filled with horror.
"Let's go, what's wrong?" Yun Que wondered.
"Can't go! The wolf soul is still there! ”
Mu Qingyao stared straight behind Yun Que.
In front of her, a huge blood-colored wolf soul was floating outside the door of the wooden house, hideous and terrifying.
"Can you see the soul?"
Yun Que didn't look back, looking at the girl in front of him with a novel face.
"I have a special physique, I am an innate psychic body, I can see spirits and ghosts, I can communicate with weak spirits, but the wolf soul is too strong, I can't control it, it will kill us." Mu Qingyao said in a heavy voice.
"Psychic bodies are rare, so you don't have to be afraid of this."
Yun Que said and took off the long knife and stuffed it to the other party.
The knife was very heavy, and Mu Qingyao used all her strength to hold it.
The knife was cold, and despite the scabbard, there was still a chill to the bone.
Mu Qingyao felt that what she was holding was not a knife, but a piece of 10,000-year-old ice.
Mu Qingyao felt that this knife must have strong strength, and it might be able to resist the wolf soul, but she couldn't figure out how she could resist the wolf soul just by holding the knife?
And Yun Que has no knife, with his bare hands, once he is possessed by the wolf soul, the soul will collapse in an instant.
"What do you do!"
Mu Qingyao saw Yun Que walking out defenselessly, and immediately exclaimed.
"I'm not a ghost-scared little girl like you." The clouds are full of ways that don't care.
"That's no ordinary ghost! The wolf soul is terrifying, it can possess and destroy your divine soul! ”
Mu Qingyao became anxious, Yun Que had already approached the wolf soul, and it was very dangerous at the moment.
But then, Mu Qingyao was surprised to find that the wolf soul took the initiative to avoid Yun Que when he approached, and he didn't dare to get close at all.
How is this possible!
Mu Qingyao was so shocked that her mouth opened slightly, and she was speechless for a while.
"Wow, it's noon later, lunch is much more expensive than early." Yun Que urged.
Mu Qingyao held the knife tightly and carefully bypassed the wolf soul.
Sure enough, the wolf soul was helpless against her, hovering alone above the wooden house, roaring silently.
"Why aren't you afraid of wolf spirits?" Mu Qingyao asked in surprise.
"As long as you kill enough living creatures, you will accumulate murderous energy, and a large amount of murderous energy will condense into evil energy, in front of enough evil energy, ghost things, it's a joke."
Yun Que smiled, picked up the wolf head on the ground and threw it hard, throwing it into the mountain stream behind the house.
Mu Qingyao was skeptical when she heard it.
Her hand touched an iron sign.
When I looked down, I saw a rusty black iron waist card, hanging from the scabbard.
It is engraved with the words 'Demon Slayer'.
The moment she saw this waist card, Mu Qingyao finally remembered where the custom of standing a grave first came from before people died.
In the previous dynasty, the special institution set up by the Heavenly Supervisor of the Great Yan State Division, the Demon Slaying Division!
Boom!!
The sound of the wolf's head falling into a mountain stream was heard far away.
Mu Qingyao looked back,
Behind the wooden house in the shape of a coffin, thousands of black crows flew into the sky!
These crows, which feed on carrion, only haunt mass graves with many dry bones, and since they are infested in flocks, they can only say one thing.
In the mountain stream, there are endless white bones!
With a heart full of shock, Mu Qingyao followed Yun Que towards the bottom of the mountain.
Along the way, the little county lord had a lot of thoughts.
In the former dynasty, the Yan Kingdom and the Northern Demon Capital were defeated in the end, the emperor was killed, and all the masters in the army were killed.
Although the demon capital was overturned, there were still many monsters left in the Jin Kingdom, so the Great Jin Dynasty followed the example of the previous dynasty and also set up Si Tianjian to be responsible for special cases related to demons and evil spirits.
However, in the Si Tian Prison of the Jin Kingdom, there was no Demon Slaying Division.
It's not that he doesn't want to set it up, but he can't recruit those special masters in the Demon Slayer Division of the previous dynasty.
According to historical records, the former dynasty demon slaying division gathered a group of mysterious warriors, different from normal martial arts, extremely powerful qi and blood, amazing combat power, among which the strong can even fight monsters with the strength of the body, specializing in hunting demons for a living, and obtain rich rewards.
The people of the Demon Slayer Division have a special tradition, and when they become demon slayers, they must first set up a grave.
Build yourself a magnificent tomb and leave a strand of hair to rest here in your place.
Because the people who slay the demon division have only one final destination.
Die!
The kind with no bones left!
In the great war fifteen years ago, the Great Yan Demon Division was the main force to compete with the demon capital, and finally the whole army was wiped out and died at the same time as the emperor.
So far, the fierce and powerful Demon Slayer Division has become a line of text in the annals of history.
Looking at the black-clothed young man striding in front of him, Mu Qingyao never thought that he would actually be able to meet the descendants of the Demon Slayer Division of the previous dynasty!
An expectation grows like a weed in her heart.
Nowadays, the Si Tianjian of the Great Jin Dynasty, although he can also be called a master of the forest, but in the face of the demons and evils that are haunting everywhere, he can only be tired of coping, and most of the time he is mainly to repel the demons, and it is difficult to completely exterminate them.
This creates an embarrassing situation where the hoist is pressed to float up.
Drive away a wave of demons, and the other party will soon haunt other places, and there will still be people killed.
But the Demon Slayer Division of the previous dynasty is different!
The Demon Slayer Division, as the name suggests, pursues the principle of killing everything.
Whoever discovers a demon or evil will definitely cut down the grass and eradicate the roots at any cost, and kill it until there is no one left!
If the Jin Kingdom can also set up a demon slaying division similar to the previous dynasty, the people of the Great Jin Dynasty will have one more way to live, and they will no longer have to wait for the ethereal demon array year after year, and in the end they can only wait for endless regrets.
No one knows better than Mu Qingyao the difficulty of building a subdued demon array.
Not only is it time-consuming and laborious, but it also costs money and money, and the required nine-turn spirit flower is even more rare in a hundred years, she has been running around in search of the spirit flower since she was six years old, and in more than ten years, she has experienced countless dangers to find only one.
This is still good luck, otherwise it will be difficult to find a trace of a spirit flower for decades.
Even if it is found, it may not be collected.
Because the Nine Turns Spirit Flower is a rare treasure of heaven and earth, there are often powerful demons wandering nearby.
In the battle for the last spirit flower, Si Tianjian's masters fell more than a dozen, severely injured dozens of people, and sacrificed the lives of thousands of elite forbidden soldiers to get it.
On the way down the mountain, Mu Qingyao's heart was full of the three words Demon Slayer, and when she came back to her senses, she had already walked into a small town.
