Shao Yanling let go of Lin Yi and thought that the monster's few hairs were so fierce, if it was against its real body, wouldn't everyone have to die?

The first time Xiang Zhicheng went down the mountain to eliminate demons, he encountered such a strong enemy, and his heart suddenly felt no phosphorus, and he asked uneasily: "Elder, what should we do?"

Yin Xian put his hands behind his back and pondered for a moment: "Go back and repair first." ”

......

Turning to the mansion, Lin Yi went inside and put down Gu Wanxi, and suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside. Ren Dingbei rushed into the gate and shouted anxiously: "Elder Yin, something is wrong, the villagers have all been killed by monsters!"

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly asked the reason, Ren Dingbei finished telling the story, and then took them to the beach in a hurry.

It was almost noon, the spring sun was shining, the sea was sparkling and bloody, and the ship's planks were floating and drifting. The fish monsters swam around, gnawing on the remains of villagers, occasionally throwing severed limbs, leaping and playing, stirring the sea as if it were boiling. It was a hellish sight, and the Orthodox were horrible.

Ren Dingbei said: "At that time, I saw the monster chasing the fleet, beckoning to make them turn around and return home, but the monster's speed was very fast, and before I rushed over, the fleet was annihilated." ”

"It's clear that you can't blame you. Yin Xian sighed, frowned and looked at the sea for a long time without saying a word.

"The poor people have been wrecked and all perished in the sea, and there is no point in us remaining on the island. Ren Dingbei clenched his fingers and asked again: "Why don't you go back and report to your respect, and then find support from your fellow disciples?"

Yin Xian was silent for a while, and sighed lightly: "Alas...... Senior Brother Lin. ”

"The son is in. ”

"Where is the demon going?"

"Southeast, when it bypasses this sea mouth, it will be able to reach Yandi. Lin Yi replied respectfully.

"Then we can't escape, if we let it go to land, the world will be ruined. Yin Xian's eyes lit up, and he immediately made a decision: "Everyone go and prepare first, tonight we will fight the demon to the death, and we must stop it before we reach Yan Kingdom." ”

"What else do you need to prepare?" Ren Dingbei hesitated, "Ren and the brothers can set off at any time." ”

"Suicide note. Yin Xian turned his head and smiled very desolately, "The demon has been disturbed, there will be a fierce battle tonight, I am afraid that we will die for the rest of our lives." If you have anything to explain to your family, hurry up and write a letter to me, and the poor Dao will cast a spell and send it out. ”

Everyone sighed, shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

"The lower official will go to prepare, and swear to defend the common people tonight. Ren Dingbei hugged his fists and saluted, and then the same Xiang and Shao left side by side.

Yin Xian turned around and said to Dao Tong: "Go and help me prepare the magic weapon, and the poor Dao will open the altar to draw talismans." ”

Dao Tong took the order to leave, Lin Yi stopped and did not move, and after they were all far away, he suddenly asked, "Elder Yin, I don't know something, why do you want to pick the night?"

He asked the key, most of the ghosts are afraid of the sun, day and night, and it is not wise to meet the enemy at night.

"Come with me. Yin Xian shook his sleeves and walked slowly towards the fishing village.

"Good. Lin Yi followed, and Yin Xian walked and stopped, and when he saw the dead branches scattered on the side of the road, he leaned over to pick them up, and then wrapped them in robes. After a while, he picked up a large bag in his arms.

The two turned back to the mansion, and Dao Tong had already prepared the magic weapon. Yin Xian put down his robe at the door, and went to the back kitchen to get firewood, and placed the dead branches in the four corners of the southeast, northwest, and north. Then select a porcelain vase from the ritual vessel, pull out the soft game, and sprinkle the gold dust inside on the pyre.

Lin Yi didn't know why, so he had to watch silently. Yin Xiankou recited the mantra, planted eight apricot yellow flags around the field, connected with each other with a soul-chasing line, and hung a copper bell in the middle of each rope, surrounded by a circle of several zhang.

Finally, he moved the wooden table to the middle, spread a yellow cloth on it, and set up the incense burner, and then he drank tea and rested.

After finishing these, several spiritual officials sent suicide notes one after another. Yin Xian took it and folded it into a paper crane, and then sighed at the crane's head. As soon as they let go, the cranes turned into living creatures, flapped their wings, and flew into the distance.

"It is expected that within ten days, they will be able to reach the pivot peak, and then they will be handed over to your families by the Dharma Protector. Yin Xian lowered his head and retracted his gaze, clapping his hands: "You go back to the house to rest first, Poor Dao still has something to discuss with Senior Brother Lin." ”

A few people turned back into the house, Lin Yi sent the Black Eagle away, and the door was quiet again. Yin Xian asked, "Lin Yi, why did you pull out a knife and hurt me today?"

Lin Yi looked solemn, and hurriedly explained: "At that time, I asked the Taoist chief to have anything to do with that monster, although the Taoist chief smiled and replied, but the skin at the corners of his eyes was not wrinkled, and his laughter was even more slight and energyless, obviously pretending to be fake. ”

Yin Xian was shocked when he heard this, and secretly thought, "What a keen insight this is!"

Lin Yi continued: "Because that aunt was manipulated by a monster last night and captured Gu Wanxi, you were also controlled by a monster, so you took offense." ”

Yin Xian came back to his senses in surprise and nodded: "Senior brother has good eyesight, and I will explain the reason to you." ”

He waved his hand to invite Lin Yi over, and the two sat cross-legged against the altar. Yin Xian raised his knees and asked, "Do you know about the Western Desolation Demon Beast?"

"Zi is destined to have seen it. Lin Yi immediately replied, and: "Don't hide it from the elder, this treasure knife was given by the Holy Maiden of the Western Wilderness." ”

"That's good. Yin Xian glanced at Hanguang and said slowly: "A long time ago, demon beasts once ruled this continent, but human beings were not open and were enslaved by them for millions of years. ”

"Those big demons are as strong as mountains, they can swallow clouds and spit mist, call wind and rain, and their mana is boundless. In contrast, human beings are as small as dust, and can be domestic animals kept by them, with the same status as today's pigs, sheep, cattle and horses. ”

"Demon beasts regard people as food and grass, and it is common for them to swallow thousands of them alive when they are hungry. Yin Xian's tone was indifferent, ignoring Lin Yi's frightened eyes, and continued: "The demon beast is strong and capable, but there is only one place that is not as good as us. ”

"What place?" Lin Yiqi asked.

"That's reproduction. Yin Xian smiled, "Although these demons live for thousands of years, their ability to reproduce is extremely low, and they often take thousands of years to give birth to children, and we humans are a generation for more than ten years. ”

Lin Yi listened attentively, and Yin Xian said: "Demon beasts are brutal by nature, fighting each other for territory, so that the population has rapidly decreased, and there are few offspring left. ”

Lin Yi interjected and asked, "So our ancestors took the opportunity to overthrow the demon slavery?"

"Not yet. Yin Xian shook his head, "The demon beasts found that humans give birth very quickly and are good at learning, so they thought of a way...... It is to teach our ancestors to practice and fight for them. ”

"The longer you live, the more you fear death. Those big demons not only enslave humans, but even occupy their bodies, like pawns, and use human bodies to fight. They can safely hide behind the scenes and manipulate them, and if their bodies die, they will change them, and even if they lose some mana, they will not affect their true bodies. ”

"Over time, our ancestors became more and more powerful, and the demon beasts gradually divided into two factions. Many years later, when the decisive battle came, one side won a great victory and occupied a vast territory, while the other side suffered heavy casualties, so it had to flee to the north and hide in the Naraku Abyss to survive. ”

"For the sake of table distinction, we call the victorious side the demon beasts, and those who flee north are called demons. And the humans who followed the demons into the abyss could not resist the erosion of evil energy, and they all rotted and died violently, and after death, they were trained by demons to become a ghost clan. The demons hated the humans who defeated them, and cursed the demons, leaving them to perpetually suffer from hunger, which could only be relieved by eating the flesh and blood of their former comrades. ”

Yin Xian took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued: "After this great war, the demon beasts have also suffered heavy losses, and due to the depletion of spiritual energy after the war, the size of the heirs has been extremely reduced. In front of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the Emperor of Man led the tribe to rise up and finally overthrew the rule of the demons. ”

When Lin Yi heard this, he was obviously relieved.

Yin Xian responded with a smile, and said: "The war that followed still lasted for nearly a thousand years, and it was not until the founding of the Xia Jun and the unification of all the tribes of the human race that the demon beasts were driven to the Western Wilderness, opening up a prosperous generation. During this period, the demons also came to commit several crimes, and they were all defeated by the former national teacher and the sword immortal with his disciples. ”

His tone changed suddenly, and he said gloomily: "It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, because of the tyranny of Xia Jun, there was civil strife in the country. The rebels broke through the imperial city, and the nobles and old people were exiled to the Northlands, where they were nomadic for hundreds of years. Then, with the help of the Immortal Sect, he established the Great Shadow Kingdom, vowed to recapture Middle-earth, and even fought against the old hatred... The demons in the Narakubu and the hungry ghosts are mixed together. ”

Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully, and paused: "Listening to your long talk, Zi is quite touched, but there are still a few confusions in my heart. ”

"It doesn't hurt to be outspoken. ”

Lin Yi straightened his back, took a deep breath, and then asked, "First, your relationship with the demon on Qingbo Island. ”

Yin Xian smiled: "I recognize it." ”

Lin Yi's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Do you recognize it?"

"Hmm. Yin Xian bowed slightly, and said softly: "You went to the sea to investigate this morning, and after listening to the description, I guessed seven, seven, eight, eight." ”

"According to ancient records, this demon is called Chaos, with no face and no mouth, and the seven orifices are occluded. But it can connect the two worlds of yin and yang, and was sealed in Beihai by the former national teacher, but I didn't expect it to be parasitic on Qingbo Island Zheng"

Lin Yi pondered sideways for a moment, and then asked, "Elder Yin, how can that Dao boy of yours have Yin Qi hidden in his body?"

"Haha, I knew you had to inquire about it. Yin Xianyan smiled when he heard this, and applauded: "It's a ghost I raised, and I asked it to try your skills that night." ”

"It turned out that it was the one who attacked me...... Lin Yi muttered to himself, finally relieved a doubt in his heart, and then asked, "Why did the Taoist try me?"

Yin Xian sighed: "Demons have enslaved human beings for a long time, some people choose to compromise, and some people are willing to surrender and be proud of it. But there are even more people who insist on resisting, no matter how dark the times are and how frightening the situation they face, they never give up until they usher in the light. ”

After that, he groped for an iron plaque in his arms, and Lin Yi looked at it, and the words 'Night Candle Club' were engraved on it.

"It turns out that the Taoist chief is also ...... Dare to ask where did you know my identity?" Lin Yi hurriedly asked, his eyes full of astonishment.

"Ling Xuzi passed the book. Yin Xian's words were concise and to the point, and then he put away the iron plate with his heart, as if he were a treasure.

Lin Yi asked again, "Elder Yin, how should we deal with the demons, why do we choose the night?"

Yin Xian stood up on his knees, patting the dust: "Chaos shuttles between the two worlds of yin and yang, and the human head at the bottom of the sea is just its shell. Only at night, when the fog obscures the bright moon and yin and yang meet, can we see its true body. ”

Lin Yi frowned and was confused, and Yin Xian said: "Chaos is too powerful, fortunately, it has just woken up, and its strength has not yet recovered." If you follow the poor road strategy, you and I need to join forces to get a chance of victory. ”
