The towering black city wall stood behind him, blocking a large area of light, and the ancient monsters and beasts climbing on the city wall became silhouettes. The houses are of different shades of black, and the ridges of the roofs are as sharp as animal bones, and at first glance they look like a mountain cliff covered with black barbs.

Ning Chang stood in the shadow of the eaves, and the blind dog demon was pointing along the street.

"Our Ten Thousand Demon City, there are not many others, there are many temples, there are dozens of large and small, if you want to go to the largest one......" The blind dog demon pondered.

Ning Chang saw that his words were dull and asked, "What's wrong?"

The blind dog demon sighed and said, "The biggest one should be the Southern Demon Palace, but the temple has been closed recently, and it doesn't accept incense, so it's unfortunate that the son came." ”

Ning Chang pondered for a moment and asked, "What god is the main worship of the Southern Demon Palace?"

The blind dog demon said: "How do I know this? In that holy place, a stick of incense can burn my silver money for a month, how dare the little demon go in." ”

Ning Changjiu asked again: "Besides, are there no other famous temples?"

The blind dog demon was a little unhappy, he held the staff in his hand, touched the ground, and said, "Didn't you say that I should only be tested on one question? ”

Ning looked at it for a long time and wondered, "Can you really be a guide?"

The blind dog demon pointed to his blind eyes and said righteously: "I'm a professional guide dog!"

Ning Chang was puzzled: "How can there be a guide dog that is blind by itself?"

The blind dog demon cried and said, "Isn't that more crippled?

Si Ming thought to himself, where did he get his conscience?

Ning Changchang was about to speak, when he saw a few monsters rushing in front of him, most of those monsters were short, there were cat demons, fox demons, tree demons, and a monkey spirit with a broken tail jumping in the back.

Ning Changjiu didn't know what they were doing, but he saw that the blind dog demon was already on the verge of a great enemy.

"This is the guest I found first!, do you know the rules!" The blind dog demon shouted on crutches, waving his staff to drive them away.

The silver-haired beast cat demon with long ears grabbed its hand and sneered: "Hahaha, you also deceived new guests, last time you led the way, brought a guest into a dead end, almost missed a big thing, was broken leg, and lost your reputation, and now you dare to come out and be embarrassed?"

The blind dog demon said loudly: "You can't catch a wild cat that can't be caught by a mouse, don't slander people! You yourself are not a thief, you can get a lot of oil and water by sending a guest!"

"Okay, you don't want dogs to eat cats! Let me come, I can tell the story of every street, every cave, every hill here, I am very knowledgeable, and there is no dissatisfaction with the guests I have received. The ape spirit at the end of the line jumped and raised his hand.

It was an ape with brown hair and long arms, it wore a wooden ring on its head, and a wooden bracelet around its neck, it was holding a broken tail, looking at Ning Changchang with a smile on its face, and recommending itself.

A hard-skinned demon immediately blocked it and sneered: "Heh, you have a ghost knowledge? Which of those stories didn't you make up? If you change a person, you can change the word and go aside! If you are born and raised, there is really no one here who can match me!"

The monsters were still arguing, and when they looked around, they saw that the couple was gone. The demons looked at each other, and the faces of the rivals softened suddenly, and they all hung their heads.

The figures of Ning Chang and Si Ming fell on another street.

They walked along the street.

"The leprechauns here are really annoying, they don't have much ability, but they are noisy. Si Ming was covered with a fox demon mask and complained faintly.

Ning Chang said: "It's all for a living, don't be embarrassed about them." ”

Si Ming looked at the scenery around the street, and his eyes were gloomy.

"Where are you going now?, the so-called Southern Demon Palace?" asked Si Ming.

Ning Chang said: "It's the first time I arrived, but I don't have to be in a hurry, I first find out the reality of the Ten Thousand Demon City and ensure my own safety." ”

"Hmm. Whatever you want. Si ordered to answer.

The two of them continued on, past a large low, bony wooden shingle house, and in front of them was a solemn temple of high platforms, and outside the temple, many youkai in ancient robes stood upright, walking inside. They are either holding incense burners or jade wat holds, but they look like they are in the posture of going to the court.

The two of them bypassed the temple that stood in the middle. Next to the temple with a sharp square wall, there is a pool surrounded by three sides, the water surface is floating in the silver undulating light, floating mist, glowing with ink, and from time to time there are water bubbles gushing out, always giving people a feeling of imprisoning the devil in the deep water.

There are several turtles standing by the river, and the scriptures on them are ancient and mysterious.

Ning Chang and Si Ming came to the river and looked at the lake.

Si Ming said: "The yin qi of this lake is too heavy, and there are countless corpses to sink when you want to." ”

Ning Chang said: "There are a lot of fish in the lake. ”

Si Ming frowned and said, "The corpse feeds the fish, and then fattens the fish and eats them?" ”

Ning Chang stood in front of Si Ming, his back suddenly cooled, and there was always a feeling that he was going to be pushed down by Si Ming to feed the fish.

He looked at it for a moment and asked, "Does this have anything to do with the Netherworld?"

Si Ming said: "It has nothing to do. Do you really think you're a child of destiny, and you can easily find anything you want?"

Ning Changchang smiled: "Of course I wouldn't think so, but maybe you are?"

"I am not a child of destiny. Si Ming cut the railway: "What I am in charge of is the mandate of heaven itself." ”

Ning Chang looked at her proud eyes, remembered the dream she had last night, and laughed.

Si Ming snorted coldly and continued to walk forward.

It is also early spring, but the wind in the Ten Thousand Demon City is colder than the outside, if the outside world is a painted landscape painting, then the Ten Thousand Demon City is a black and white water mill depicted in the decline of the city.

The first floor of the city was not very large, and after walking past the houses and buildings, there was a wilderness of rammed earth, and the rocks on both sides were covered with white grass like the hair of an old man.

There were several tribes scattered in the wilderness, most of them low-status goblins, who looked like monkeys with sharp beaks and skinny bones. And behind their houses, there are many chickens and ducks in captivity, and those chickens and ducks are jumping restlessly in the cages, as if they are fighting something.

"Today seems to be the spiritual measurement day of the Temple of Ten Thousand Demon City. Si Ming said.

Ning Chang did hear someone talking about this on the way here.

"What is the Spiritual Measurement Day?" asked Ning Changjiu.

Si Ming replied: "Like people, there are very few people in the world who can become cultivators, and the most of them are ordinary people. Therefore, before a disciple enters the sect, there is always an assessment. It's the same with demons, they change from beasts and poultry to monsters, and it also takes a process. ”

Ning Chang asked: "Those chickens and ducks must be tested spiritually?"

Si Ming nodded and said, "Well, those who pass the spiritual test will stay, and those who can't pass will be killed, that's all." ”

Ning Changjiu sighed: "It's really a blessing to be a human being. ”

Si Ming said: "How can man not be a beast? Man's cannibalism is a history that happens all the time. Alas, all native creatures are raccoon dogs!"

Ning Changjiu asked rhetorically, "Your gods are perfect?"

Si Ming said: "As you say." ”

Ning Chang looked at her perfect figure and said, "Then your gods are indeed very beneficial to mankind. ”

"Shameless!" Si Ming saw through his dirty thoughts and ignored them.

She clasped her hands around her chest, and continued to walk forward with a cold face, shrinking into inches, and the figures of the two almost flickered forward.

After passing through many trees that grew haphazardly according to their abilities, black robes and white robes appeared at the end of the road.

At the end is an abyss.

The abyss is surrounded by ghosts and mist, and according to the local monsters, under these abysses, the prisoners are all sinners who have betrayed the demon clan.

"Don't go any further. Outside a room on the edge of the cliff, an old woman was drying her torn clothes, and she kindly reminded: "If you go further, you will be close to the inner city, there are countless old monsters, if you don't have some skills to reach the sky, you better turn back as soon as possible." ”

"The inner city ahead?" Ning Chang asked.

The old woman said, "Well, it's over this fog." ”

Ning Chang said: "Thank you for the reminder." ”

The old woman sneered and said, "Young people are all the same, and none of them can be persuaded to stop." ”

Ning Changchang smiled slightly apologetically. But I saw that the old woman stopped talking, squatted at the door, and turned into an ancient tree.

Ning Changjiu stopped in front of the cliff, he stared for a while, and then walked to the side along the plank road with Si Ming.

Although the city of ten thousand demons is named the city, in essence, it is still a dangerous place surrounded by city walls, except for the original, the scale is only the size of the imperial city of the world, and the latter is the towering peaks and abysses, a huge, broken peak stone, vaguely with the appearance of buildings, those peaks are glowing with different colors, clearly dividing the junction line, like one kingdom after another.

Si Ming wanted to habitually draw a virtual sword and go away, but Ning Changjiu held down his hand and shook his head lightly to stop it.

"I just said that I can't wear a sword, but I didn't say that I can't use a sword move, so why be so careful?" Si Ming was a little displeased: "Also, take your hand away!"

Ning Changjiu let go of his hand and said, "When you find out the details of the demon king here, it's not too late to move the sword, and you don't have to cause unnecessary trouble." ”

Those demon kings fought with the saints at the beginning, and those who could survive must be the existence of the demon law.

Si Ming snorted coldly, quite unhappy with Ning Changjiu's long-term finger-pointing actions.

"Forget it, you are. Si Ming said coldly: "If you delay Xiaoling, don't regret it when the time comes." ”

Ning Chang looked at her cold eyes, and couldn't help but think of the dream she had last night, the slightly painful appearance and the whispering between her lips and teeth...... Hmph, knife mouth tofu heart.

Si Ming looked at the smile that suddenly appeared on his face, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart: "What are you thinking about again?"

Ning Changjiu said: "No, I just think this fox mask is a good match for you." ”

Si Ming sneered and responded, "Your human face is quite a match for your beast heart. ”

"......" Ning Changjiu had nothing to refute.

Si Ming finally triumphed, the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, and she slowly walked up the plank road.

The sky was dimly lit, and the mountain roads were filled with ghostly mist, and she wore a fox demon mask and walked into the depths.

Ning Chang looked at her back and followed, but for some reason, there was always a feeling that she was drifting away.

He distracted his thoughts.

The two walked along the plank road by the cliff, the ghost fog in front of them was thick and faint, the mountain wall was crawling with ink-colored moss, and from time to time there were dark green geckos running from above, and the ghost fog was entangled into human faces from time to time, staring at these two outsiders in horror.

These fog demons are not fatal, they just suck the aura of some people, like geese plucking their feathers. But by instinct, none of them dared to approach Si Ming.

At the end of the plank road, there is an open woodland, there are several centuries-old trees in the woodland, the lower end of the old trees is almost dead, but the upper part is still growing black night, a python hanging from the tree, like a hanged ghoul.

Under the tree, an old man was playing chess with himself, and the rest of the old man's body was condensed by black mist except for the hat and the coat, and he stared at the chessboard and fell into deep thought.

When Ning Changjiu and Si Ming walked by, the old man was shocked and looked up at them.

"Who are you?" asked the old man.

Ning Chang said: "Guests who came to Ten Thousand Demon City. ”

The old man shook his head and said unceremoniously: "In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer guests coming to Ten Thousand Demon City, what are your plans?"

Ning Chang snorted and said, "We're here to find someone." ”

The old man said, "Who are you looking for?"

Si Ming preemptively asked, "Who are you?"

The old man said: "I am the Fog Demon King, in charge of the ghost fog here, and my official position is not big or small. ”

Si Ming asked, "Is there anyone here who calls himself the Ghost Emperor?"

The old man frowned and said, "Ghost Emperor? It should be the big demon in the inner city......"

Ning Changjiu didn't expect to get the result, thanked him, and left with Si Ming.

The Fog Demon King sat under the ancient tree, raised his head, looked at the python hanging above, and fell with his hand, he sighed softly: "The order of chess is only talked about when playing chess on the chessboard, and the world is a game that does not pay attention to these, this chessboard has no deduction skills, what is the use?"

As he spoke, he slapped a chess piece on the board, and the piece shattered into a sparrow that screamed and bled out, and the sparrow reorganized its wings and died.

The fog is a game, and those who are a little worse will be trapped in it, always returning to the same place.

But this carving insect skill can't trap Si Ming.

After the cliff, Ning Chang looked forward, the ghost fog faded a lot, and in the skylight, several large peaks were towering, like a sword standing upright in the sky.

"Seven Cliffs. Si Ming turned around and looked at the big characters on the cliff wall like red snakes, and muttered.

Ning Changjiu was about to continue moving forward, but Si Ming said, "I'm tired. ”

"Huh?" Ning Chang turned around, very puzzled.

Si Ming said, took a step, and directly soared through the clouds and fog to the opposite mountain.

Ning Chang picked a cloud and used the sword control technique to control the cloud, and only came to her side after a few breaths.

"We're not here to enjoy the scenery. Si Ming said: "Find a place to settle down first, and then grab the head monster, and interrogate this place, it is best to force you to draw a map." Otherwise, if we go at this pace, when we go back, I'm afraid that Xiaoling's corpse will be cold. ”

Although Ning Changjiu had his own considerations, he also agreed with Si Ming's point of view: "Well, but forget about catching monsters, after all, this is the territory of Ten Thousand Demon City, and it is not good to provoke public anger." ”

Si Ming asked, "Then you go and seduce a female monster?"

Ning Chang thought about it seriously and said, "I'm not good at this." ”

Si Ming said, "Then you still worry about the fox's tail all day long?"

Ning Chang argued: "This ...... It's different!"

Si Ming snorted: "Ye Gong is a good dragon. ”

Ning sighed for a long time, always feeling that Tiansi Ming had satirized himself with many fables and idioms these days, hum, Banmen got an axe! He secretly calculated, thinking that one day he would return these idioms openly.

In the end, Ning Changjiu failed to seduce the female goblin, but these cities that fell on the mountain peaks were quite regular, and after Ning Changjiu and Si Ming entered the city, they bought a complete Kanyu map in a store, which marked the names of the major mountain peaks, as well as the names of the small cities that lived under the peaks. The only requirement in the store is that this picture is not allowed to be taken out of the Ten Thousand Demon City, otherwise it will also break the rules.

"This picture was drawn with a spiritual pen. Si Ming said.

"Spirit Pen?" Ning was puzzled for a long time.

"The drawings on it can stay on paper, but they can't stay in your memory. Si Ming said: "In short, it is to forget after reading." ”

Ning Changjiu put away the map, the two of them did not rush to search, but first found an inn to settle down, although the tone of the inn was darker, but it was still clean, Ning Changjiu and Si Ming walked through the corridor covered with dim paintings, came to the end of the road, and opened the room.

Si Ming took off her mask and pinned it to her waist, she walked to the window, opened it, and looked down.

"There are quite a few people in Ten Thousand Demon City. Si Ming said.

"People?"

"Well, didn't you feel it when you came, many people don't have demonic energy in them. ”

Ning Chang did have a sense of it, but he only thought that they were hiding it well.

Si Ming said: "Ten Thousand Demon City is the pure land of monsters, but there are many deep mountains in this male city, but it is also an excellent place for some human sinners to escape, as long as they do not break the rules of Ten Thousand Demon City, they will not be expelled, but they can survive for a lifetime." ”

"I see. Ning Chang nodded and said, "If you are hunted down and killed in the future, you can escape here." ”

Si Ming responded coldly: "Don't be delusional, the gods are on a high seat, and you can see it at a glance." If I want to hunt you down, it will be useless for you to flee to the ends of the earth. ”

Ning Chang smiled.

Si Ming came back to his senses from the window, looked at the dressing mirror on Chen Yu's case, and frowned slightly. I saw a fruit plate in front of the dressing mirror.

"It's a mirror of the heart. Si Ming said: "This is a rare treasure outside, but it can be seen everywhere here. ”

"What is a mirror of the heart?" asked Ning Changchang.

Si Ming sat in front of the mirror, took a fruit, and said, "You only need to peel the fruit with a knife and peel off the skin completely, and you can see the appearance of the person you like in the mirror." ”

Ning Changchang was curious: "Why do you want to peel the fruit?"

Si Ming said: "Because the peel is easy to peel, people will be extra careful and focused, and your spirit will be condensed in the mirror and known by the mirror." ”

After Si Ming finished speaking, he raised the fruit knife and asked with a smile, "Do you want to give it a try?"

Ning Chang said: "Do you still need to try?"

Si Ming asked, "Are you afraid that you don't dare?"

Ning Chang asked: "The person in the mirror, can anyone else see it except himself?"

Si Ming said: "Don't worry, I can't see it, I won't marry Lu or Zhao Xiang'er to sue you." ”

Ning Chang said: "That's it." ”

"Why?" asked Si Ming.

Ning Changjiu said calmly: "I'm afraid that there won't be so many people in the mirror." ”

Si Ming said gloomily: "Shameless!"

Ning Changchang asked, "Do you want to try it too?"

Si Ming snorted coldly: "I don't have to try, God doesn't love the world at all, how can a shoddy mirror shine on my heart?"

The two had a tacit understanding, and neither of them took a photo.

Ning Chang took out the map and said, "Let's discuss the route first." ”

Si Ming sat down beside him and looked at the picture together. On the picture scroll, the large and small peaks are marked with their names, although this picture is drawn by the spirit pen, it is not difficult for Si Ming to remember it, but she did not do it, because the deepest part, the core of the Ten Thousand Demon City, was painted black.

"Well, we're here now, Baoxiang Mountain, huh...... The owner of the mountain should be an elephant. Ning Chang said.

"The closest to here is Lion Camel Mountain, which doesn't sound like it has the authority of the Hades Monarch. But didn't the spirit turtle ask you to find nine green lions, you can go and have a look. Si Ming said.

"Well, this matter is not in a hurry, the nine green lions can meet it, just follow the fate, you don't have to spend time looking for it. Ning Changchang said.

Si Ming complimented: "You are really a person who relieves promises. ”

Ning Chang ignored her ridicule and continued: "After Lion Camel Mountain, there is Wuji Mountain, then Chechi Mountain, Zhu Zi Mountain, and this ......."

"What's wrong?" Si Ming looked at his expression, and his gaze fell.

"Daughter Mountain?" Si Ming's expression was slightly different.

Ning Changchang pretended to be serious and said, "You can go and see it here." ”

Si Ming sneered: "When you hear it, it's not a serious mountain name. If you go, you'll come out skinny. ”

The two of them took a closer look at this map, and planned the route to travel through all the peaks and valleys, and it was expected that they could walk through all the Ten Thousand Demon City in seven days, and if they couldn't find it again, they would try their best to enter the real core of Ten Thousand Demon City.

After putting away the map, it was getting dark.

"Why is there only one bed?" Si Ming dissatisfied.

Ning Chang said: "You want to sleep on the ground again?"

"Don't think about it!" Si Ming said coldly, she took a red rope, stopped in the middle, and said: "I'll give you a chance to stay with this seat tonight, but don't cross here, if you trespass, ......"

Ning Chang looked at her with a smile and asked, "So what?"

Si Ming knew that the slave was tattooed on his body, and the cruel words didn't make much sense, so he said coldly: "Then I'll tell Zhao Xiang'er!"

Ning Changchang's heart froze, but his face was as usual, "Naïve." ”

The two fell asleep on the couch, Ning Chang slept inside the line, and Si Ming slept outside the line.

Tonight, Si Ming didn't have any strange dreams, it seemed to be out of nervousness, and her dreams were also very shallow. It's better to sleep for a long time and die of surprisingly sleep.

Ning Changjiu also seemed to have some nightmares.

His body was curled up, his lips pursed, his fingers clenched, his eyelids blinking.

"Marry...... Xiang'er ......" he whispered softly.

Si Ming opened his eyes and stared at his sleeping face, puzzled.

What kind of dream is this?

"Xiang'er...... Marrying ......" Ning Chang repeated in his dream.

Si Ming looked at him and frowned, suddenly realized, and sneered softly: "I still think you are haunted by nightmares, it turns out that you are having a spring dream." Hmph, shouting the names of two people at the same time, this is the blessing of enjoying people in a dream?"

Si Ming didn't feel sleepy, and thought quietly.

"Snow ...... Snow porcelain. Ning Chang's words were blurred, and his body began to tremble.

Si Ming's face was gloomy.

Hum......

What does snow porcelain have to do with our company?

"Si Ming!" Ning Chang shouted again.

Si Ming's expression was slightly shocked: "Pretending to be asleep and teasing me?"

Thinking like this, she stretched out her hand and covered Ning Chang's forehead...... The spirit is very heavy and chaotic, this is a demon? No, how can anyone be able to perform this kind of magic without me? Unless that person's realm exceeds the peak of the five realms! It is impossible for ten thousand demons to have such a demon!

Ning Chang repeated a few names in a low voice, and his words were difficult.

Si Ming was thinking about it, but her hand was caught, and she struggled for a while, unable to pull away. Ning Changjiu seemed to have grasped some life-saving straw, Si Ming looked at his calm face, and stopped struggling.

Ning Changjiu woke up early in the morning.

When he opened his eyes, he found that the red lines around him were still regular.

Well...... It's really good to sleep by yourself.

Ning Changjiu rubbed his forehead, and said to himself in his heart: strange...... Why did you dream of Master, and why did Master stab me again...... It was so real, I thought I was going to die again...... Is this a demon in the heart? I can't kill it.

It seems that many names are called in the dream...... Because you didn't really shout it, did you?

Ning thought for a long time, raised his head, and saw Si Ming sitting in front of the mirror combing his makeup.

Ning Chang Lingtai is clear.

For some reason, he clearly realized that there was one fruit missing from the fruit bowl in front of the mirror.

......
