The thirteenth year of Tianyuan.

Xingcheng.

It was dark and oppressive, and the torrential rain swept the land of Xingcheng.

The sudden heavy rain, which had been falling for three or four days, completely flooded the whole world.

Xingcheng, which was originally lively and lively, suddenly became deserted because of the heavy rain in the past few days. Many shops have long since closed. Idle neighbors and tourists trapped in Xingcheng gathered in the lobby on the first floor of the inn, clamoring for the storyteller to tell a paragraph.

Most of them were neighbors, and they knew that they couldn't make any money, but the storyteller still couldn't wipe his face, so he cleared his throat and said, "Since you want to hear it, then I'll come here for a while, I don't know what you want to hear?"

The shopkeeper of the grocery store opposite shouted, "Mr. Mo, let's talk about the last paragraph of "The Legend of Demon Slayer". ”

"Yes, which one?" asked Mr. Mo with a smile.

"'The Demon Lord is born'. ”

"Ahem, what's so good about that, if you want to listen to it, you still have to listen to the 'Demon Invasion'! It is rumored that those two Demon Invasions are quite tragic. ”

"Let's say 'the death of the Demon Lord'. ”

Everyone was shouting and shouting, obviously each with their own hobbies.

Mr. Mo listened for a while, knocked on the wake-up wood, and said, "Let's talk about the death of the demon lord." Knocking down the waking wood again, Mr. Mo said loudly, "It is said that the demon lord Lu Beidou colluded with the evil woman and the sword beauty, and led the whole demon army to invade the cultivation realm for the second time, and the cultivation masters were defeated and retreated, and when they saw that they were about to be destroyed, the immortal venerable, who was originally unwilling to interfere in the disputes in the lower realm, finally couldn't bear to be ruined, and sent Xing Lie and Xing Jun two immortals to subdue the demon ......."

In the thirteenth year of Tianyuan, midsummer.

Rain.

The rain was desperately smashing on the bluestone pavement of Xingcheng Street.

"Pity that Xing Jun and Xing Lie, in the end, they were defeated by the demon lord Lu Beidou and died tragically. The Erxian Temple in my Xingcheng is built to commemorate Xing Jun and Xing Lie......"

"Lu Beidou is the master of the demon clan in the end, how strong he is, he actually seriously injured the two immortals of Bingyan, bypassed the obstruction of the Immortal Tong Venerable, and directly entered the Immortal Realm Tianji Palace, and met the ...... of the Immortal Venerable."

"With the help of the reincarnation Dao, Lu Beidou became stronger and stronger, and he almost defeated Immortal Venerable. Fortunately, God bless the righteous path! Just when Immortal Venerable was about to be strangled by the reversed reincarnation path, the Divine Realm Passage suddenly opened! Immortal Venerable was the first person in the Immortal Realm, and his cultivation was already enough, and when the Divine Realm Passage was opened, he naturally had to fly directly. The power of ascension easily suppressed the reversal of reincarnation......"

"The ferocious and ruthless Lu Beidou paid for his life, but in the end he still failed to destroy the Immortal Venerable. Immortal Venerable took pity on the people of the world and could not bear to leave a world full of devastation, so he returned from the Divine Realm and regained control of the Immortal Realm......"

With a snap, Mr. Mo photographed Xingmu, "I know what will happen next, and watch the follow-up to "The Legend of the Demon Slayer" and "The Legend of Tianyan Gongzi". ”

After a passage of the book was finished, no one applauded.

In the corner, an old man with a white beard spat at Mr. Namo, "You can't do this without giving a reward, right?" I remember that in the original "Legend of the Demon Slayer", there was half an hour to talk about the reincarnation dispute, you are good, you said it directly and concisely, it is not exciting at all. ”

Mr. Mo laughed, "Yu Lao smiled, there was no reward, and that's it." If you are not satisfied, it is better to reward a few small coins and re-talk about it below. ”

Yu Lao took a sip and said, "The things in the eyes of the money are really too far behind your brother who cultivates the truth." ”

Mr. Mo smiled hesitantly, "My brother is a cultivator, and his realm is naturally higher than me......" Before he finished speaking, Mr. Mo suddenly looked at the door.

Outside the door, the pouring rain was still endless.

Next to the door, a wet female beggar poked her head in.

The shopkeeper followed Mr. Mo's line of sight, saw the beggar, and immediately waved his hand in annoyance, "Go and go, there is no business, and there is no leftover food for you." ”

The corners of the beggar's mouth twitched, and he squeezed out a smile, and said, "I'm here to find someone." Without waiting for the shopkeeper to ask, the beggar hurriedly said, "Excuse me, is Mr. Yu here?"

When Yu Lao heard this, he asked, "I am." ”

The beggar breathed a sigh of relief, but wrinkled his brows, and said, "Mr. Yu, my husband is seriously ill, do you have time to help take a look?" As he spoke, he took out two big coins from the wet and shabby clothes, and bowed down to pick them up.

Yu Lao got up and walked out, "Lead the way." As he spoke, he didn't take the big money handed by the beggar, but directly picked up the umbrella next to the door and opened it.

The beggar was overjoyed, and he didn't care about the pouring rain, and went straight into the rain.

Although Mr. Yu is old, he is a cultivator, with a second-level cultivation of qi refining, and when he walks, he walks like a fly. He followed the beggar for a long time, and when he reached the southwest corner of Xingcheng, he stopped in a dilapidated house that had been abandoned for many years.

Under the open-air gatehouse, the rain was dripping down.

In the corner, on a pile of hay, lay a dirty male beggar.

Yu Lao walked over, squatted down, put one hand on the male beggar's vein, and after a moment, took out a pill from the storage ring on his finger, stuffed it directly into the male beggar's mouth, and said to the female beggar, "He just occasionally feels the wind and cold, and he is not in the way." ”

The female beggar answered, and handed the two big money that she had been holding to Yu Lao.

Yu Lao looked at the big money in the female beggar's hand, and didn't take it, and walked out of the dilapidated house directly.

The female beggar pouted at Yu Lao's back and sat next to the male beggar to guard. They kept watch all night, and at dawn the next day, the rain stopped.

The female beggar exhaled and muttered, "It's finally stopped." After that, seeing the male beggar's eyelashes move, the female beggar was overjoyed, "Husband, are you awake?"

The male beggar opened his eyes, saw the female beggar, squeezed out a smile weakly, and said, "Xiao Tian......"

"Hey, hey. The female beggar smiled and said, "Husband, are you better?"

"Hmm. The male beggar struggled to sit up, but was pressed down by the female beggar.

"You can rest well today, I'll go beg for food. The female beggar said.

The male beggar smiled bitterly, "Forget it, you have an uncle's face, and you don't want to beg for help, so you come back empty-handed every time." I can't count on your abilities. ”

The female beggar took a sip and said, "Okay, I know how to do it, you can rest." ”

"Wait. The male beggar said, raised his weak hand, grabbed the female beggar's wrist, and after a moment, sighed, "Alas...... After some more activities, it seems that in another month at most, it will be necessary to consolidate "Family Forbidden" again. ”

The female beggar pursed her lips, looked at the male beggar's thin pale face, and couldn't bear to say, "Forget it, husband." Over the past 100 years, you have used "Forbidden Family" too many times, and then use it...... You're going to die!"

"No, it won't. The male beggar exhaled and said with a smile, "I can stay with you for a hundred years, even if it is death, it doesn't matter." ”

The female beggar chirped, "It's sour! You give me a good life, Qiu Rong is dead, the mountain realm has collapsed, and we still have to find that bastard of Xianzun to take revenge!"

Avenge......

The male beggar was a little sad.

"Over the years, just by suppressing your Dao Shengyi, I have run out of oil and dealt with Immortal Venerable...... Alas. ”

The female beggar wrinkled her brows, looked at the male beggar's lost expression, bit her lip, and said, "Before I think of a way to completely solve the "Dao Sheng I", I promise not to use spiritual power again, I promise!"

Such a guarantee, she has said many times.

And each time, there always seemed to be a good reason to overturn her assurances.

Every time she uses her spiritual power, "The Forbidden Family" will loosen somewhat, and every time the "Forbidden Family" is consolidated, the male beggar will be extremely seriously traumatized.

The male beggar looked at the female beggar, smiled slightly, and said, "Well, I wrote down your guarantee." ”

"Hmm. The female beggar didn't know what to say, so she agreed, picked up the broken bowl on the ground, and left the house.

The male beggar's whole body relaxed.

Looking at the clear sky, the male beggar was in a daze.

Sometimes, he thinks it's funny, he thinks he's unlucky.

Finally, when he cultivated to the Mahayana period, he didn't have time to show off his skills, but he directly became a beggar, and he couldn't easily use even the slightest spiritual power.

All the spiritual power is sealed, even if it is a Mahayana period cultivation, it is no different from ordinary people. He needs to sleep, he needs to eat, and he can even get sick. Not only that, but his body is also extremely weak, and he always gets sick every year. Because of this, life is naturally becoming more and more difficult.

After resting for a while, the male beggar pulled out a tattered book from the mess of grass behind him.

This is a best-selling "Legend of Demon Slayer" in today's cultivation world.

It tells the story of the demon lord Lu Beidou from his birth to his death at the hands of Xianzun.

The male beggar has seen it many times, and every time he looks at it, the male beggar always sighs with emotion: "Lu Beidou, Lu Beidou, you are extremely smart, but you probably didn't expect that you would eventually become a demon lord and become an evil party, right?"

In contrast, the world didn't know about "Lu Ye" and "Lin Xiaozhou", so it was a kind of luck to avoid being pointed out by thousands of people.

Lu Ye's body was too weak, he read the book for a while, thought about it for a while, and fell asleep again until he was woken up by Lin Xiaozhou.

Taking a sip of the hot chop soup, Lu Ye praised, "Yes, you can get food, you have the potential to be a beggar." ”

Lin Xiaozhou glanced at Lu Ye and said, "The rice can't stop your mouth?"

Lu Ye laughed, drank half a bowl in one go, and then handed the rest to Lin Xiaozhou, seeing the broken book that he had thrown aside, he sneered, "Speaking of which, Immortal Venerable's methods are really amazing." Compared with Qiu Rong's memory killing, his set of methods to change memories is even more powerful, fortunately we were in Longyuan at the beginning, otherwise, we would definitely have been brainwashed. ”

Lin Xiaozhou gave Lu Ye a roll of his eyes and said, "If it weren't for the fact that you didn't use the Heavenly Forbidden sooner or later, triggering the dragon bone and causing the Divine Realm Passage to open, Qiu Rong wouldn't have died in vain." ”

Hearing Lin Xiaozhou mention this, Lu Ye's expression could not hide his loss and guilt.

"Okay, I'll help you to the street after dinner, you look like you're half-dead, you can't help but ask for some more money. Lin Xiaozhou diverted the topic, and said with some tears and laughter, "When I went to beg for food just now, I heard someone mention this Xingcheng City Lord. Guess who this Xingcheng City Lord is?"

"Acquaintances?"

"Shen Fang. Lin Xiaozhou said, "The child you thought was Shen Tianchi's child was actually Shen Fang, Shen Tianchi's half-brother." ”

Hearing this, Lu Ye sighed softly.

Thirty years ago, Zhou Yuansheng saw the past that he didn't even know, which made Lu Ye feel a lot of emotion.

He and Lin Xiaozhou analyzed this situation, and thought that Immortal Venerable should have used great mana, completely changed everyone's memories of Lu Beidou, and erased himself and Lin Xiaozhou from the world's memory.

Why did he do it?

Lu Ye didn't know.

Lu Ye began to miss the days with Qiu Rong a little, that extremely smart guy, there seemed to be no problem that could stump her......

After Lin Xiaozhou finished eating, he directly picked up Lu Ye, who had a problem walking weakly, and came to the corner of the street, put Lu Ye down, and then put the broken bowl in front of him, and then rested against the wall with Lu Ye.

Lin Xiaozhou tilted his head, leaned on Lu Ye's head, and said softly, "Husband, when is such a day a leader?" Why don't I break the seal and fight with the old boy directly. ”

Lu Ye shook his head slightly, looked at the crowd coming and going on the street, and said softly, "You say...... Why did that guy come back from there?"

That guy naturally refers to the Immortal Venerable, and there, he refers to the Divine Realm.

The year when Immortal Venerable returned from the Divine Realm, that is, the first year of Tianyuan.

Lin Xiaozhou didn't answer Lu Ye's question, she knew that Lu Ye didn't expect her to answer, he just habitually asked him a question, and then thought hard about the answer.

Lin Xiaozhou felt that Lu Ye had something on his mind, but he didn't say it, but Lin Xiaozhou didn't ask.

In the past, Lu Ye was indeed like a salted fish, and he was never interested in tossing around. However, the current Lu Ye is different.

Sometimes, by chance, seeing Lu Ye's inadvertent expression, Lin Xiaozhou could clearly perceive the anger in Lu Ye's heart. He calmly seemed to enjoy the appearance of such comfort, and suppressed a cloud of anger.

Although he still likes to joke, he is still lazy most of the time and does nothing.

Back then, when Lu Ye sealed himself and his cultivation, he inadvertently triggered the dragon bone and triggered the opening of the Divine Realm Passage. At that moment, the dragon bone soared into the divine realm, and Long Yuan completely collapsed.

After that, Lu Ye began to wander around with himself.

It seemed aimless, but Lin Xiaozhou could sense that Lu Ye seemed to be looking for something. She asked Lu Ye, but Lu Ye didn't admit it.

For this matter, Lin Xiaozhou and Lu Ye quarreled a lot, and even had a "divorce".

Lu Ye bit himself to death and didn't look for anything, he was in a hurry, he just coughed, and he was about to die.

Lin Xiaozhou, who was viciously murderous, finally relented and chose to compromise.

......

Xingcheng City Lord's Mansion.

As the lord of a city, there are always too many trivial mundane things, which make Shen Fang a little busy.

The relationship between the major forces in the city also needs to be controlled by him, the city lord.

I'm really getting bored.

Many times, Shen Fang wanted to give up the city.

But......

His own son is really too angry.

It's just that the cultivation is not high, and the temperament is not good. If this kind of goods were left to him no more or less some family business, Shen Fang could almost conclude that if he and his wife soared or died one day, the second ancestor, if he did not starve to death, would also be beaten to death.

Jinxiu brought a cup of refreshing tea and put it on the table.

Shen Fang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "What about the bastard?"

"I'm out playing. Jinxiu said, "Husband, don't worry about him, boy, it's normal to make trouble." ”

"Bullying a good family is also a fight? It's all your habit of being a mother!" Shen Fang was a little angry, "I don't understand, when we were children, we should be considered very good children." How did you give birth to a child, but it's a ...... What a bastard?!"

Jinxiu covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Teenage children, don't understand anything, just teach them slowly." ”

Shen Fang shook his head, "It's not an excuse to be young. Speaking of which, I think of an old man. Shen Fang paused, then frowned and said, "That's one of my outer disciples in the Zhengqi Gate, called ...... Call...... Oh, it's called Xu Xinhui. I remember that he was only eight or nine years old at the time, but he was extremely precocious......" Speaking of this, Shen Fang fell silent again. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "It's strange, why can't I remember what happened to Senior Brother Xinhui in the end......?"

Jinxiu said, "An outer disciple probably died in the chaos of the year. I don't have time to cultivate the truth, and I can't remember many childhood playmates. Don't say that the outer door is the same door, that is, the inner door is the same door, and I can't remember many names. ”

Shen Fang shook his head, "No! It's a weird feeling." That Xu Xinhui...... It seems that he is not alone in the Zhengqi Gate...... There seems to be another person...... Hiss...... A woman? or ...... Alas, can't remember. Throwing off these insignificant things, Shen Fang drank all the awakening tea and said, "I'll go out." ”

"What's wrong?"

"I haven't been to Senior Brother Wen Hu for a long time, I'll take a look. Shen Fang said, "I don't know if he is used to it in Xingcheng." He has a good temperament, and he doesn't want to mention it to me for fear of being bullied. ”

Shen Fang left the City Lord's Mansion, and he was not in a hurry, and came to a refining shop in the north of the city as if he was strolling leisurely.

The business of Wen Ji Bao Shop is not too good, this Wen Hu, like his master Tie Buxiao, only creates high-grade talismans, and the price is outrageous, and few people will take care of the business.

Seeing Shen Fang coming, Wen Hu smiled innocently, "The city lord is here." ”

Shen Fang chirped, "Well, city lord, I'll come and see you." ”

Wen Hu laughed, "Senior brother, please inside." ”

Shen Fang followed Wen Hu into the house, sat down, took the coarse tea handed by Wen Hu, took a sip, and said, "How's the business?"

"The same old way. Wen Hu said.

Shen Fang smiled, chatted with Wen Hu for a few words, and suddenly remembered that Xu Xinhui came, and couldn't help but say, "Senior brother, do you remember that when you were in Zhengqimen, there was an outer disciple named Xu Xinhui?"

"Of course. Wen Hu said, "Xinhui has an excellent relationship with me, and when I left the Zhengqi Gate, he also gave me a spare, how could I forget." ”

"That'...... Do you have the impression that he doesn't seem to be cultivating alone in the Zhengqi Gate, right?" asked Shen Fang.

"Hmm......" Wen Hu was stunned, "it seems to be ...... There seems to be another ...... A woman?...... I can't remember exactly. ”

"Senior Brother Xinhui, what happened?"

"Alas...... He's dead. Wen Hu sighed.

"How did you die?"

"This ......" Wen Hu was stunned again, "I don't know...... It's like he's dead......"
