Chapter 14: The Heart of the Demon Slayer

All young people have their own objects of worship, and even more so heroes.

Among the new pre-sears who are training and preparing to become ghosts, the one who has been talked about the most over the years is slowly no longer the "strongest ghost slayer in the history of Zhen'an Division" Chen Ye, after all, everything in history is too ethereal. It makes people feel unattainable. But the other one, who has risen in recent years and is known as the "immortal" ghost slayer, is obviously more in line with the taste of young people.

The pre-soldiers were training at the shooting range, and I don't know which sharp-eyed one shouted. "Captain Li is here!" Everyone's eyes were no longer on the target, but kept aiming at this "Captain Li", the instructor seemed to be used to this situation, knowing that it was useless to train, so he had to let these little cubs be distracted. After all, people need a belief to support it, and it doesn't matter if it's a goal or something else.

This is known as "immortal" and is highly sought after by newcomers. In the past two years, he has followed Chen Ye everywhere to kill ghosts. always did not listen to advice, charged ahead, and his style of not fearing death won him such a biased reputation as "immortal".

But strictly speaking, "immortality" is not wrong, now that Li Zhi's body is metamorphosed, even if his hand is cut off by a ghost with a claw, mainly connected to a trace of sinew, he can quickly recover to the point where he can continue to swing the knife.

But Li Zhi is definitely not afraid of death, but because for him, his belief is hatred. It is a deep hatred of ghosts, and this bitter hatred transcends the fear of life and death.

And Li Zhi came here this time, of course, not to win the admiration of the young people, but to get a Longyuan ancient sword from the nearby treasury.

The ancient sword was given as a gift, a young man who was a genius in the sky.

This young man is the pride of all the ghosts in the world except for Zhen'anji, because of his poems, because of his talent, and because he has a heart to kill ghosts.

In the long history of the country, there are always a few people who are favored by God, and in the history of slaying ghosts, some people are born with a heart to kill ghosts. And those who have the heart to slay ghosts can kill ghosts even if they don't use a ghost slashing knife and just use ordinary sword weapons. In the interpretation of folklore, such people are often referred to as "immortals".

This person's name is Li Bai.

Li Zhi had never seen Zhang Jiuling smile so happily, it was a smile when he really met a confidant. greeted him with such a warm smile and helped the drunk Li Bai off a donkey.

The Longyuan Ancient Sword, which he regarded as a treasure, was stuffed into Li Bai's hand, and he took his hand and went back to his endless fasting, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, talking about whether he was happy or not.

But Zhang Jiuling still did not forget the purpose of Li Bai's trip to Chang'an.

"Taibai, this trip Zhen'an invites you to come to Chang'an, it's really hard for you to travel far from the mountains. I want you to borrow a hand from the next thing, and I hope you don't have to excuse yourself. Zhang Jiuling took Li Bai's hand and said earnestly.

"Hey, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's words are wrong. Eliminating harm for the people is the duty of every person with lofty ideals, not to mention, although Taibai is not in the Zhen'an Division, he is also a ghost. Where the responsibility lies, how can you say that you can't shirk it?"

After Li Bai finished speaking, he drank a glass of wine heroically.

"Taibai is really temperamental, so now in Chang'an for a few days, don't rush, and let us figure it slowly. ”

In the next few days, in addition to drinking and chanting poetry, Li Bai wandered around on Chang'an Street. became a first-class idler in the town security division.

This also made Li Zhi more and more interested in him. Can such an idle and drunken scholar also be called a "fairy man"?

Finally seizing the opportunity, Li Zhi decided to verify the authenticity of the legend.

It was two hundred eyes wandering around Mufang Street. Originally, it was enough for Li Zhi to go alone, but this time he decided to pull Li Bai to see what real skills this famous drunkard had.

Li Bai didn't shirk, he hid a wine gourd in his arms, and followed with a sword in his hand. Li Zhi was not at ease and turned around and asked, "You really don't have a ghost slashing knife?" I saw Li Bai seize the gap and take out a gourd, take a sip, and grin at him. Obviously not the same thing.

When he arrived at Mufang Street, Li Zhi easily solved a hundred eyes, and then stopped. Holding the knife on his chest, ready to watch Li Bai's next performance.

Li Bai did not show timidity, and his calm and unhurried attitude was quite worthy of his reputation. You took a sip of wine. "Hey, happy!"

The remaining hundred eyes had been forced into a corner by the two. Even if it's a ghost, it's a little bit of eyesight.,Knowing that it's obviously better to bully someone who doesn't have a ghost knife.。 For the purpose of survival, he made a decisive move, and instantly cut the gourd in Li Bai's hand, and the wine was spilled on the ground, leaving a smooth incut in the severed place.

And the next blow went directly to Li Bai's chest, at this moment, Rao was used to seeing the wind and waves, and he had already secretly clenched the handle of the knife, and if there was something wrong, he would immediately attack.

Unexpectedly, Li Bai didn't know if he was drunk or what, he happened to dodge this blow with a stumbling stumble, and Li Zhi's eyes widened when he saw it so coincidentally.

Next, Li Bai slowly pulled out the ancient sword of Long Yuan from its scabbard, and the moment it was pulled out, Long Yuan let out a sound as clear as a dragon's groan, "The hidden dragon is in the abyss, it is really a good sword." ”

Li Bai flicked his fingers, and Long Yuan made a "ding dong" sound, so he flicked a step, took a step, and sang a sentence, "Zhao Keman Huying", after singing a sentence, he waved his sword, like cutting tofu, and his left arm was stripped from the ghost's body.

This obviously aroused the greater blood of this hundred-eyed, and after letting out a roar, it slammed directly into Li Bai.

And Li Bai made a second "ding dong" here, and took the second step, "Wu Hook Frost and Snow Ming", and with a flash of silver light, Baimu's head fell off his neck.

looked directly at Li Zhi who was stupid on the side, this can be okay.

Li Bai seemed to be commonplace, and shook his head regretfully, "Hey, it's like this again, I can't hold two sentences." Hey, ruined, ruined, there is no confidant in the ghost...."

On the way back, Li Zhi still couldn't hold back, and finally asked Li Bai, "Brother Taibai, dare to ask how you did it?"

"To do what?"

"That's how you kill ghosts. ”

"How do you kill a ghost?"

"That's it, so easy and thankful to kill ghosts. ”

"Oh... You may need to imagine it. ”

"Imagine?"

Li Bai ignored him anymore, and sang loudly to himself, "Look up to the sky and laugh and go out, how can my generation be a Penghao person..."

It has been more than ten years since Li Bai came to Chang'an. Zhang Jiuling called Chen Ye, Li Bai, Li Zhi and the other three ghost slaying captains to the endless fast.

"You are all the mainstays of the Zhen'an Division in recent years, and of course, thanks to Taibai's help this time. The reason why I have gathered you here is that the old man wants to invite you to a battle. It's a real tough battle, just the six of you, and no other help. Regardless of whether you win or lose, you will leave a strong mark in the history of Zhen'an Division and the history of slaying ghosts. But this matter is so dangerous, the old man's request today is almost tantamount to inviting you to die. So you all have the right to refuse the old man, and those who want to leave can leave now, and the old man can vouch for it, and no one else will know. And those who are willing to accept the old man's request will stay, and the old man will tell everyone the details. ”

No one moved. All of them were willing to die generously.

Zhang Jiuling wiped his moist eyes and continued.

"With all of you's qualifications, you must know something about the ghosts above the thousand eyes. Not long ago, our Zhen'an Division discovered a ghost lurking among humans. Zhang Jiuling gestured to a ghost slaying captain who wanted to ask, and continued. "Ghosts are still ghosts, and even if they learn to speak, they are still afraid of the sun and can't live like a normal person. But they learn to hide themselves well. Hide yourself from the crowd. "Now, as far as we know, there are three great ghosts with more than a thousand eyes, hiding in the Lingyuan Pavilion. ”

"Lingyuan Pavilion is a famous brothel in Chang'an, hiding in such a place where you hide during the day and sing songs at night, which is in line with the habits of ghost life. This man is living more and more like a ghost. Oops, the old man is far away. But the trouble is that the controller behind Ling Yuan Pavilion is Jin Wuwei's general Chen Huaizhi, in addition to being General Chen's cornucopia, it is also a place for many court officials to collude with interests in private transactions, so it has been protected by layers from inside and outside the court. Therefore, even the Zhen'an Division couldn't capture and kill these three big ghosts at the cost of destroying a Ling Yuan Pavilion. But I bought you a night's time, and Ling Yuan Pavilion will be closed for one night. There is only one night, and on this night, as long as you don't completely tear down Lingyun Pavilion. The rest of the aftermath will be cleaned up by the old man. The old man is incompetent and can't go into battle to kill ghosts, so he can only do this for you. But one thing to keep in mind is that we only have one night. When there is a disturbance but it can't end, not to mention that the ghost is not there, even if the ghost is unwilling to move the nest, we can't get in. Please take advantage of it. Zishou has thanked all the people of Chang'an. ”
