Volume 1 The Human World Chapter 86 The Demon of the Relic Land
Zhang Haomin found a few more books, all of which were travelogues about the customs and legends of various places, which he was not going to take at first.
After all, a travelogue is not a popular science book, and it is impossible to distinguish between true and false content, and I don't know which ones are the author's subjective conjectures and which are facts.
However, he still reluctantly accepted it under Xu Dongsheng's hospitality, and in the spirit of reading the story, it doesn't matter if you read it.
"Oh, by the way, what kind of law or anything like that?"
As soon as Zhang Haomin thought of the lack of virtue that Xiaoyao did, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
Now that Zheng Huajin has contacted the owner of the tooth card, and he is still the prince in the East Palace, I am afraid that I don't know what kind of trouble it will be waiting for me, and I have to prepare early.
In this regard, he decided to strike first, this matter itself is illegal, so he wants to study the laws of Da'an to see if he can take advantage of the loopholes.
However, when Xu Dongsheng took out the thick copy of the "Da'an Law", he gave up this unrealistic idea.
Although it was a few simple flips, he could still see that the various clauses with a large number of items seemed to be classified and irrelevant to each other, but they were interlocking, making it impossible for people to start at all.
If I, a layman, could find a gap in it just by holding on to a book and reading it hard for a few days, I am afraid that the old scholars who compiled the law would vomit blood and die on the spot.
Although there is no hope of being able to exploit loopholes and escape punishment, Zhang Haomin still borrowed this book, after all, he must be a ghost when he dies, and he must know what kind of punishment he should receive if he steals something.
And he still has a bad idea in his heart, he wants to see if he can get himself out of this, after all, this thing is done by himself, so he doesn't want to be put on the hat of an accomplice.
When registering, he may have remembered how surprising Zhang Haomin's name was, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Nantangtang grabbed ahead of Zhang Haomin and asked to write his name on the loan list.
Zhang Haomin couldn't help but be a little puzzled, he didn't understand why Nantang Tang Tang did this extra thing, but he didn't bother to ask. Since this book was borrowed in the name of Nantangtang, then it would be just right to save yourself from running errands when the time comes, so why not do it.
In this way, Zhang Haomin leisurely put this pile of books into his mother's fingers, and left happily. Not long after he left, Wu Zheng appeared out of nowhere and asked Xu Dongsheng faintly.
"He's gone?"
Regarding Wu Zheng's elusiveness, Xu Dongsheng was frightened coldly, patted Wu Zheng's shoulder angrily, and said angrily.
"Let's go, where did you just hide? I don't know how to send it off before leaving. ”
"You still have the face to say?"
Wu Zheng drooped his face, and looked at Xu Dongsheng with a rather resentful look, if he hadn't exposed his careful thoughts, he wouldn't have to hide.
However, he is too lazy to bother with Xu Dongsheng now, because he has more important things to do.
"No need to flip it, it is written with the name of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
Although he heard what Xu Dongsheng said, Wu Zheng still rummaged through it without believing it, and sure enough, in the borrower column of the last line, it was indeed written Nantangtang.
Wu Zheng sighed decadently, thinking that the identity of the barbarian king would be revealed by himself, but he didn't expect the other party to be so prepared, he was caught off guard.
"Don't look at it, no matter how much you study, you can't see what the barbarian king is called. Let's go to dinner, don't forget, you still owe me two meals. ”
"One meal!"
"Why? We've talked about it in advance. ”
"If you want to blame yourself, you said the wrong thing! Take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, and as a result, you boy, turned around and sold me, if it weren't for your real help, I wouldn't even want to invite you for this meal. ”
Xu Dongsheng knew that he was at a loss, so he didn't argue with him anymore, after all, something is better than nothing, a meal is also a meal, and he doesn't eat for nothing.
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault, let's go see if Xiaoxin and they're back, they're back, let's change shifts and go to dinner." ”
At this moment, a person hurriedly ran up and shouted out of breath.
"Big, big news, the identity of the barbarian king has been revealed!"
As soon as he heard this, everyone hurriedly gathered around, and everyone tilted their heads to listen, Wu Zheng's eyes widened even more, and he asked urgently.
"Xiao Xin, say it quickly. ”
"The barbarian king, he is Zhang Haomin!"
Zhang Haomin, who had already walked away, couldn't see the collective shock of this group of people into a dumb goose, otherwise he would have laughed out loud.
At this time, he was discussing with Nantang Tang whether to go back and shout Chen Kaiyu to eat together, or go to Chunyi Building to buy things and go back to eat together.
Eventually, laziness takes over the absolute peak, and instead of going back and forth and running back and forth, it's better to go straight to it, which saves a lot of footsteps.
After the two finished shopping, they returned to the dormitory and woke up Chen Kaiyu, who was sleeping like a dead pig, Zhang Haomin couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and hurriedly took out the book "The Demon of the Relic Land" from the mother ring.
"This is the book you borrowed?"
"Oh. ”
Zhang Haomin's attention at this time was basically on the book, and the little spare time was used to eat, how could he still have the leisure to chat with Chen Kaiyu.
"Why did you borrow this? The Demon of the Relic Land, just look at the name and know that the things in it are basically fake, and you even borrowed it. ”
Regarding Chen Kaiyu's complaints, Zhang Haomin glanced at him, disgusted with his noise on the side, so he took out a copy of "Dragon Fighting" from the child and mother ring, handed it over, and said.
"This book is said to be written about dragons, didn't you say you were interested in dragons last time, you can take a look, but remember to give it to me after reading it, I haven't read it yet. ”
Hearing that this book was about dragons, Chen Kaiyu hurriedly put down the chopsticks in his hand, and took it from Zhang Haomin's hands respectfully with both hands, the corners of his happy mouth were almost to the root of his ears, and he muttered to himself.
"Long Zheng! Listen, this name has a lot of content, but it is much stronger than your demon of the relics. Tsk, I didn't expect there to be such a good thing in Yundao Pavilion, and I will go next time. ”
"Cut, it's not all the same. ”
The dishes on this big table belong to Nantangtang to eat the most, after a wolf-swallowing meal, go to look at the two of them, the rice in the bowl was only kissed by the ants, and there were no chopsticks at all.
The two of them were holding a book, and they were so focused that they couldn't wait to send rice grains to their noses, and the whole person seemed to be stunned.
This made Nan Tangtang couldn't help but wonder, this kind of book is really so good, so he held the mentality that he wouldn't die if he tried, patted Zhang Haomin on the shoulder, and forcibly dragged the bookworm out of the fantasy book sea.
Zhang Haomin was not unhappy because of Nan Tangtang's disturbance, and even took advantage of this gap to quickly eat a big bite of rice, and asked with a bulging mouth.
"What's wrong?"
"This book is so good, I don't even eat it?"
"It's not bad, it's quite interesting. ”
Hearing this, Nan Tangtang couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart, he knew that this kind of book was good, so he would borrow a few, how could he be so hung with appetite.
But fortunately, Zhang Haomin borrowed a lot, so he rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly.
"I think you seem to have borrowed five of these books, why don't you show me one of them?"
"Which one are you going to read?"
Before Zhang Haomin took out all the books in the mother ring and let Nantang Tang choose them, Nan Tang Tang shouted first.
"It's about treasures, I think the name is interesting. ”
So Zhang Haomin took out the book "The Secret Hidden in the Snow", which Xu Dongsheng strongly recommended, handed it to Nantangtang, and by the way, he also stuffed the remaining rice in the bowl, and then read it.
At first, when Zhang Haomin saw the name "The Demon of the Relic Land", he thought it was a story about killing demons and demons, and even the picture of the story had been made up in his mind.
In a quiet mountain village, when the night quietly covered the earth, the original bright full moon in the sky turned blood-red at some point.
As the blood-red moonlight cleared, an old monster who had been trapped by some secret method for thousands of years broke free, and then did evil in this poor little mountain village, killing people's souls and sucking people's blood.
After that, the warriors in the book appear like saviors. Of course, at first, he was teased and repaired by the old monster, but after all, people have the halo of the protagonist, but they can't die, and all kinds of blessings are great.
At the end of the story, after a fierce operation, he received a box lunch for this old monster who had never refused to amplify his moves, and then the whole world celebrated, and the warrior began his journey again.
However, what he thought above was completely different from the story in the book, there was no small mountain village in the book, and there were no terrifying old monsters and so-called chivalrous warriors.
Instead, the Blood Moon represents a long-standing prophecy that has to do with the Demon of the Relic.
Legend has it that when the night of the Blood Moon occurs, a curse set by the Elder God will be lifted, and the fallen Immortals who have been banished by the Elder God will return to the land.
At that time, all living beings in the world will be in dire straits, corpses will be everywhere, wars will continue, everything will wither, and heaven and earth will be changed.
Of course, all this is just an ethereal prophecy, and not many people think it is true, and they all listen to it as a legend. But there is one person who unswervingly believes in it, and he is the author of this book, Ning Weiyang.
He compiled the legends of various places, and through his own exploration, exhausted his life's strength, and finally came to a terrible conclusion, the prophecy of the blood moon is true, but the fallen immortals do not refer to fallen immortals, but to a race that is not recognized by the Heavenly Dao.
Although he was not sure what this race was, Ning Weiyang boldly speculated that this race should be similar to the demon race that was said to be exterminated, so he called it the demon of the relic.
It's just that his conclusion is too ridiculous, and the process of proof is full of loopholes, and the preface does not match the afterword, so it has been shelved since then.
