Golden Crown Chapter 49: Sealing the Demon

This seems to be the forgotten corner of the world.

The beggar sitting on the side of the road was too lazy to stretch out his hand, and the stinky sweat on his body avoided the pedestrians, he stared at the people around him vigorously, and the girl who sold flowers covered her mouth and smiled when she saw it.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

The big family in the deep distance, the smoke curling, the old tree behind the house bears the last season of fruit, the figure of the children is gone, the head of the household is 90 years old this year, and can no longer afford to pick.

There are groups of women in the house in the incense, and from time to time there are strong men with knives who come and go, hand over three taels of spirit stones, and spray a mouthful of bitter tea on the big knife, warning those thin and beautiful men with blank eyes, don't get close to the girl in Tianzihao.

The thin girl walked into the teahouse, touched the spirit stone on her body, and called for a boiled cabbage. Looking at the boss's face, she gobbled up two spoonfuls of salt.

The old woman often sighed that when her granddaughter entered the house of a dignitary to work as a maid, she was in such a hurry that she forgot to give her the embroidered pillow.

The beggar waited outside the grass hut, motionless, his face was full of exhaustion, the screams of the women in the house stopped, and before the person woke up, he quietly carried the baby girl wrapped in coarse linen cloth and went out, seeing him kneeling on the ground and crying and kowtowing, the standing man shook his head gently, and finally it was sold for eight spirit stones.

The big family wants to build a house, the beggars in the town come to help, see a person sleeping on the ground, a bowl of water and white porridge is licked clean, the big yellow dog in front of the door is stronger than a person, and the barking also frightens the person, seeing that he is sleepy-eyed, tired and heavy, really like a monkey.

Most of the sons of those rich families were cultivators, and when they flew through the sky, the civilians on the ground fell to the ground and shouted, and what they said was nothing more than those who thanked the immortals for bless the town, and when the shameful people walked by, they didn't bother to spit out a mouthful of saliva, and their eyes were terrifying.

The children frolicked and asked the adults for toys, the middle-aged man who built the building on the construction site was sweating, and he was a few or thirty years older when he thought of this, but he just gritted his teeth!

The women on the stage wearing high red dresses and singing, the old beggar remembered them, and just lamented that "there is no silver to reward again"!

During the day, there are some young girls working that stage, some people who are born well stop, some people who sing well clapping, and those who are old artists are replaced, and some old beggars support the scene.

There is a group of beggars sitting in the audience, those rich young people on the stage are showing, beggars are crazy to reward, some people ask why so, those who are drunk are just fools and watch monkey shows.

The only sect in the town, is the Demon Sect, here is a pure land, but today there is a bully outside, said that he is going to kick the sect, killed the elder brother who upholds justice, this person has learned boxing for three years, just because he was born to be lovely, he is pretentious in front of people, he does not want to forge ahead, he sings non-stop with those visual monsters every night, and he played a set of back punches in front of people, and was cut twenty-eight times.

Zijun came for three days, and this was the scene he saw on the first day.

One person is isolated by everyone, it is a drunken man who lies in the alley and drinks the apricot blossom wine rewarded by the store, slowly intoxicated, waiting for death to come. Just because his name was written on the wall of the killing heart, the young man who made the wine sighed again and again, gave this man a plate of fried chicken, a pot of apricot blossom wine, and let him go, and sure enough, at midnight, a man dressed in black took his heart.

In the Sealed Demon City, there are 10,000 households, the city lord is a middle-aged man with a bloated personality, drunk all day long, a few years ago, I don't know when, ordered to take the heart, said to be a stable sealing demon array, one person a day, there is no connection, at first there were people who resisted, and found a powerful monk, such as the land immortal, or was defeated, even the person was taken away, since then no one dared to resist, just because there was no spirit stone to invite people and their own strength was weak.

Sealed in this small world is only a thousand miles away, according to those powerful people, fierce beasts are rampant outside, and if you go out, you will die, and only the Demon City can give them safety, and this set of rhetoric has taken root in people's hearts since when. They also planned to spend their lives here, and those who could enter the sect to cultivate were all children of the wealthy, and the others were either slaves or merchants, or lived outside the town.

On the second day of Zijun's arrival, he saw these.

In the center of the city, there is a road of dozens of miles, where it is said that a platform was built, on which you can do any grievances and grievances, and it is a duel place that is "justifiable".

Someone is beaten to death, and no one cares, other people's grievances are not involved, and they don't step into grievances, this kind of thinking doesn't know when it will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, just because of the words of the city lord, this is the end of the platform, and anyone who is not pleasing to the eye can come here to duel.

said that it was over, and it was a beautiful review, because no one on it had ever been grateful to anyone, or those who owed money and didn't pay it back were ready to go to the top to ask for money but were beaten to death in turn, anyway, no one cared.

As for what Zijun saw, I have to say that when I saw a three-meter-like fat man, looking at the person lying in a pool of blood and licking his lips, it must be the city lord, but he is too young to take a closer look, and he thinks it has something to do with the city lord.

It is said that it is isolated from the world, that is, Zijun found that a row of soldiers stationed hundreds of thousands of meters away, all of them are cultivators of the tenth stage of the foundation, if someone goes there, they will be killed like a prison escapee, and the corpse will be thrown into the wilderness, which is really terrifying.

Moreover, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the city, and there are only a few hundred people who have stepped into cultivation, and they are all cronies of the city lord, and the others are mortals, which makes him a little puzzled.

What made him even more puzzled was that all the businessmen were young people, and the old people were almost all reduced to the lowest beggars, as long as they were old, they were all beggars, that is to say, the Sealed Demon City had at least changed a generation, was it afraid that the younger generations would know something? No one had ever suspected this, only Zijun had thought about it.

Finally, there are those evil breaths, which often erupt at night, and they are not Terran cultivators, Zijun doesn't know what they are, but he can see the bloodthirsty meaning from them.

can let people in, not let people out, and the same is true of the Sealed Demon City!

This is the scene that Zijun has seen in the past three days, it is dark at this time, he is sitting on the steps and watching the passers-by, the dancing woman has not yet come, she is Feng Xiangzi.

As for why, we have to take our time.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Three days ago, an old man took in Zijun, and he also took in Fengxiangzi a year ago.

On that day, the old man went to the homesick forest to bow down, and saw the girl lying quietly in the woods, his real name was Qu Zhonghe, he was originally an old beggar in the Demon City, and since then, he has taken the girl to live outside, cut down trees and build houses.

But the good times didn't last long, six months ago by the rich children who went out of the city to play, found that Xiangzi was as beautiful as fireworks that don't eat the world, and suddenly evil thoughts arose, wanting to do wrong, and people applauded that they were split into slag by a lightning bolt before they came over.

Their parents, sensing the strange meaning, were struck by lightning and spent months in bed recuperating in bed when they came to tempt them.

This incident also alarmed the city lord, with awe to check, did not expect to see this girl, also greedy, and a few lightning chased him, and finally defeated, Qu Zhonghe found the clue, this girl seems to be the favor of God, as long as someone has evil thoughts about her, will be punished by heaven.

Since then, the extraordinary has not made people dare not covet, but more and more people have come to tempt, maybe this is the girl's talisman treasure, only her true destiny can touch.

More and more people came to the small room outside the city to annoy them, and the geisha simply came to find Kako to learn to play the piano.

This fragrant is innocent and lively, with the same temperament, which makes people like it at a glance, often makes those viewers laugh, and also makes people forget to return, almost a girl, living most of the people in the city who live a life of no vain, and also feeds the 37th person of the geisha winter garden.

When I came to watch, there were often lightning and thunder, and the waves and clouds were treacherous, but it didn't rain, as long as there were no people who were bold enough to approach Xiangzi, it didn't hurt.

The girl didn't know where to go, so she lived here for a year and three months.

Three days ago, I finally saw the visitor in my memory, a young man who fell from the sky, and I almost didn't know him, but I didn't expect him to be so embarrassed at this time.

hugged the girl and cried, Qu Zhonghe was also shocked, because Zijun was not struck by lightning.

According to later reports, Zijun knew something.

This Xiangzi, the memory is only that the Junzi Sword flew out of his body and killed the tiger, and before the two of them entered the space tunnel opened by the Elf King, she said that she fell into the turbulence of time and space, and she lost her memory after she came out, and she didn't remember the past at all, only the middle section.

And according to Zijun's observation, this Xiangzi is a crippled person, why do you say that, only because you see that the girl seems to never grow up, she has always been so naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve, and she has to learn things for a long time, but the cultivation of this matter has reached the realm of turning into nothingness, which is a little incredible!

Qu Zhonghe was seriously ill and bedridden one day, no one boiled medicine, and the girl would not be distressed, but she was innocent and played around, but fortunately, an old woman came to visit him later, and he was freed, so he said that he was a crippled person.

For this, Qu Zhonghe didn't shake his head, just smiled and said that she could be so happy forever.

From a lowly beggar to a commoner's family, Lao Qu is very grateful to Xiangzi in his heart, and also regards her as his granddaughter, and does not ask her to send her to the end, nor does he restrain her to do anything, I just hope that after she leaves, the girl can still be so innocent and innocent, and will not cry because of anything.

It's too early to say so much, because the old man is only in his seventies, and as long as it is not for other factors, he can generally live to one hundred and twenty-three. A few more years to accompany is a few years.

Three days ago, there was an amnesiac teenager, the two only remembered each other, but for Zijun knew the rest, people didn't ask much in front of them, of course it is best for granddaughter to have company, I have long heard that there is such a teenager, and now I finally see it, Xiangzi is not as excited as she once was, just treat it calmly, what she has lost, not only psychological growth, but also love, this is a ruthless person, so the word naΓ―ve comes from this.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

I saw people beating gongs and drums to celebrate the arrival of the maiden, she was wearing a floral skirt, led by an old woman, and the thin child who was robbing the dog for food on the street was kicked down by an old Taoist who was holding a flag, the Taoist was dressed in blue and white clothes, fluttering and sprinkled, wearing a pointed hat, and saw that his steps were steady and firm, and his momentum was restrained.

Zijun looked at it, he was a monk, and he didn't know the realm, and he only felt that the aura on his body was like a surging river, but at this time, it was like a calm pool.

After the child was kicked down, she was helped up by a middle-aged woman, who slanted her eyebrows and frowned, obviously dissatisfied, but the old Taoist frowned, and scared the woman away at a glance. Soothed the child and walked away slowly, muttering words in his mouth.

At this time, I saw a girl in white poking her head out from behind the old Taoist, looking eighteen years old, her beauty was not as good as Xiangzi, and she was comparable to Yang Ci, but she was a little naughty.

The old Taoist stood in the middle of the road, and the banner he held in his hand had the three characters of the spirit flag written on it, crooked, not fairy, but even more ghostly dancing. After slamming the ground vigorously, I heard him shout: "The bold witch dares to go unpunished and bring harm to the world, saying, Who are you?"

The girl in white covered her mouth and smiled, obviously a little shameful about what this old Taoist had done, and didn't want others to know that they were all the way, and after walking away quickly, she happened to move to Zijun by chance.

Maybe he didn't look at the road, and he was tripped by the young man's wanton relaxed feet, and he was about to fall down.

Zijun was shocked, thinking about why you don't look at the road, I didn't think much about raising my hand to hug the woman who was falling, and the girl who was in fright was also comforted at this time, and the two eyes were facing each other, and I saw that the person in front of me had good facial features, but his face was full of mud, his body smelled, and he didn't know how to wash it.

Immediately, her expression was so disgusted and disgusted, she quickly got up and said angrily: "You almost tripped me and soiled me again, let's go, I don't want you to pay for it!"

Zijun sighed, walked to the side, and continued to look at Xiangzi.

As for why he didn't stay with Xiangzi, I'm afraid that the people in the city know that there is such a poor person who covets Xiangzi but is not struck by lightning, I'm afraid that my heart will be extremely unbalanced, and more things are better than less things, just watch from afar.

The girl stared at the young man who didn't care, and no longer looked at herself, obviously others did what she asked, but she still didn't like it, why did he ignore himself?

Look at this old Taoist again, this move suddenly attracted the onlookers to disagree, some women who have long been unaccustomed to seeing Xiangzi took advantage of the topic to play, leading the crowd, their own men are not good at managing it, often by this girl hooked the soul, and I don't know whether to say ignorance or the frog at the bottom of the well.

"Boomβ€”"

The thunder in the sky was even worse, and the old Taoist smiled slightly, looked at Xiangzi's innocent expression, and reprimanded: "Are you going to start killing people again?"

The old Taoist's index finger and middle finger were together, pointing at the flag, and suddenly a soul with a cloak flew out of the spirit flag, and flew towards Xiangzi with teeth and claws.

Suddenly, the people around them retreated like a tide, holding their heads and screaming, when had they ever seen such a scene?

Xiangzi was also shocked in her heart, her blood coagulated, and her body couldn't move at all, as if she was locked.

"Stop, Lord Qi!" the girl in white shouted, and the old Taoist waved the soul banner and took the ghost back, and the hilt of the sword held by Zijun also let go, watching quietly.

"What's going on?"

"Who knows, why did this person suddenly make a move on Miss Xiangzi!"

"It should just be a temptation, if you come sincerely, the thunder will have come down a long time ago!"

Listening to the surrounding discussions, the old Taoist who was called Lord Qi snorted coldly, blew his beard and glared, returned to the girl, and clenched his fists and said, "Gong...... Miss Luo, she was reckless, and when she saw the witch, she felt hatred, and she almost forgot her original purpose!"

The girl in white nodded, then looked at Xiangzi's side, and shouted: "I have long heard the sound of the strings of the Demon Sealing Piano, and there are even more beauties and even Xuannu...... I'll listen to this girl later!"

Hearing this, the artists who beat the gongs and drums discussed for a while, then they got up, played suona, played drums, and the girl continued to scatter flowers, looked at this side for a while, and then walked slowly.

Zijun nodded, the old Taoist took the girl in white to walk around the corner of the street, disappeared at the end, before leaving, the girl seemed to be still haunted by what happened just now, glanced at Zijun, and saw that the young man seemed to be a swordsman, and immediately smiled coldly.

The person who grew up in this place, he can crush it with one finger, but when he sees the poor people, the girl's heart is even more unbearable, and the purpose of coming here is to observe the people's livelihood according to the instructions of his father, and see what is strange about this unconquered land, and why most of them are mortals. Even if you conquer it, it's not much use, although it's very contradictory, but that's the case, it's mediocre here, even if you pass on the cultivation method, it won't stir up any waves, let alone serve the country.

The girl thinks so, but it's really unlucky, she encountered such a bad thing on the first day, that kind of person is destined to be lonely for a lifetime!

Walking around the corner, the girl in white spoke: "Lord Qi, you really saw at a glance that the woman was a witch, why didn't she attack you before she died?"

Qi Dong, this old Taoist is already a hundred years old, but he looks only fifty or sixty years old, he should say: "I didn't have the intention to hurt her, and I also noticed that she was a little weird, although it was a virtual realm, but it seemed that she had never fought, as if she herself did not know that she had this strength, according to the inquiry when she came, she was called the person favored by God, and anyone who coveted her would be struck by lightning, and she was a little similar to the witch, but she was not sure whether it was or not!"

When the girl heard this, she laughed and said, "Then Lord Qi has to thank me for helping you out of the siege." ”

Qi Dong hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Don't dare, don't dare!"

The girl pouted and said angrily: "Don't do that outside, don't be tired! It's really unlucky, I met a beggar just now, and I soiled my clothes, find an inn to wash!"

The old Taoist said in a calm tone: "Do you want me to cut off the troubles?"

The girl thought for a while, then her eyes rolled, and she said calmly: "I don't need you to go, I'll go by myself!"

β€”β€”β€”β€”

The young man passed by the alley, and saw a middle-aged man lying there, the man in black who took the heart had not yet come, at this time he was sitting in the urine beach, trembling all over, holding a jar of wine in his chest, muttering something in his mouth.

The brightness under the moonlight, the middle-aged man's face turned pale, he looked a little depressed and helpless, for a dying person, he was isolated today, the only one who had spoken, maybe the eighty-year-old mother at home, and the restaurant, before leaving, made a pot of food, a commoner, and no spirit stone to invite the people in the Demon Sect to redeem their lives. Wait here to die.

The old mother of the family was unable to get out of bed, so she sold all her belongings, which was regarded as the final money, and the neighbors competed for it, and finally handed it over to the honest Han Ergou.

Zijun walked in, the wine jar had not yet opened, the man looked up, and said softly: "If you don't want to cause trouble, stay away from me, I don't want to bother you!"

The boy muttered, "I really don't want to get into trouble, can I beg for a drink?"

The middle-aged man glanced at it suspiciously, and handed the wine that could not save his life at all to the young man, who hugged it tightly before, and could also relieve the pressure in his heart, but now he has no hug, he can only pinch his heart fiercely, it hurts, but he didn't let go, because he knew that it would not only hurt more for a while, but it would also be fatal!

As soon as the altar was opened, the aroma of wine came, the young man first smelled it, licked a ding, and the middle-aged man saw the young man's appearance, and admonished: "Look at your face, where do you live in the city?

Zijun didn't answer, as soon as he raised his head and turned away from the wine jar, he drank it with a clatter, and the wine didn't spill a dimp, nor did he pour a spoonful into his clothes.

A minute later, the middle-aged man was already so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, and although he was scared at this time, he couldn't help but praise: "Good amount of wine!"

"Smack-"

smashed the wine jar to the ground, it was full of dry pieces, Zijun was not drunk in his mind, his eyes looked at the middle-aged man calmly, and muttered: "That's it, compared to Qingqi, it's more than a little bit worse, like drinking water!"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, what kind of wine is the same as drinking water compared to apricot blossom wine?

"Immortal wine!" Zijun smiled mysteriously.

The figure gradually faded away, the middle-aged man sighed, and a voice slowly came from the distance: "I still want to go to see the incense and play the piano, no, listen to the incense and play the piano, you don't have to be afraid, since I drank your wine, the master said before, the wine sticks to the mouth, you have to drink it before leaving, which means to help people to the end, forget it, I can't understand it when I tell you, tell you this, I will save your life! If I succeed, I need a helper, you know how to do it!"

The middle-aged man just sighed and shouted: "No need, really no need, the immortals invited before can't do it, don't ask for your own hardship!"

No longer saw the figure of the young man, the middle-aged man sobbed and choked, I don't know why, he hoped that the young man was really okay, but he didn't want him to risk himself, the final result was the city lord, he couldn't bear it, I don't know if the young man could withstand it.

......
