Jiangcheng.

A remote town in the Xia Kingdom.

To the north of Jiangcheng, an antique courtyard sits on.

Ancient courtyards, small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and stone tables, green bamboo forests.

In the bamboo forest in the early morning, the dew falls and the breeze sways the green bamboo.

In the houses behind the bamboo forest, a light smoke rose and a faint Buddha fragrance came out.

Jiang Daoming, who was dressed in coarse linen clothes, with shackles on his hands and feet, holding a broom, gently waving it, sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground.

The broom swept gently, like an old man, not in a hurry or impatient.

In the house behind him, there was a faint sound of chanting, and it was the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra that was recited.

"Senior brother. ”

A call came, and a handsome young man with a white handsome man, carrying a jar, trotted over.

"Li Wenjie. Jiang Daoming stopped sweeping the floor and looked at the visitor: "Why did you come here?"

"Senior brother, I'm here to say goodbye to you in advance. ”

Li Wenjie gasped slightly, and said, "In two days, I will take the demon slayer exam, and if I succeed, I will leave Jiangcheng......

Speaking of this, he paused, looked at him carefully, and saw that his expression was calm, so he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, senior brother, I shouldn't have mentioned these things, it's just that I didn't say goodbye to you, and I was uneasy, you saved us in the first place." ”

After finishing speaking, he panicked again, but when he noticed the shackles on Jiang Changming's hands and feet, he relaxed again.

"Since you are going to take the Demon Killer exam, hurry up and cultivate, and don't be scared and unable to walk like last time. Jiang Daoming said calmly.

"Senior brother, I have confidence. Li Wenjie raised the jar: "This is the good wine I brought to my senior brother, what my senior brother told me back then, in this life, you have to kill and drink happily." ”

"I have a heart. ”

Jiang Daoming showed a smile and motioned for him to put it down.

Li Wenjie put down the wine jar, said goodbye and left, he still had to take the demon slayer exam, and he didn't want to stay longer.

He still can't forget that year, they accidentally broke into the place of the exam and saw this senior brother taking the exam.

Three hundred demons and twenty-five demons were torn to pieces by this senior brother.

Looking at the thin body, there is a terrifying monster hidden.

After that exam, the senior brother was arranged in this small building with a clear heart, and he has not left yet.

Jiang Daoming looked at Li Wenjie who was leaving, just like him at the beginning, full of expectations and nervousness for the demon slayer exam.

The content of the exam is very simple, that is, to kill demons, this world, demons are everywhere, even in the city, there are demons from time to time.

Demon slayer is a group of martial artists who slay demons and eliminate demons, and only by passing the Great Xia exam can they become official demon slayers.

Demons are powerful, and demonic qi can erode human minds and turn humans into demons.

In that exam, he faced demons and demonized human warriors, and his grades were the best and worst.

The best is because three hundred demonized human warriors and twenty-five demons were killed by him.

The worst is because he has killed too much, his evil qi is coiled, and his methods are too brutal, so he is asked to come to the pure heart to meditate, eliminate the evil qi, and suppress the killing intent.

"It's been three years. ”

With a soft sigh, a young white-clothed nun, holding a Buddhist bead, appeared behind him.

Jiang Daoming's sweeping movements paused slightly, and his expression was a little dazed: "It's been three years?" Yes, Wen Jie at the beginning had just entered the Great Xia Demon Elimination Palace, and now he was going to take the Demon Killer exam. ”

"Your evil spirit has long since been removed. The white-clothed nun looked at him with a somewhat complicated expression: "However, I can't hear the voice in your heart." ”

Jiang Daoming said calmly: "Yours is his heart and has regressed." ”

"I've been improving for three years. The white-clothed nun looked at him: "Your hands and feet are tied, you don't have horizontal refining medicinal materials, your eighteen dragon elephants, how many dragons and how many elephants do you cultivate?"

"Just try it. Jiang Daoming said lightly.

The white-clothed nun shook her head lightly: "I won't do anything with my own patients, the eighteen dragon elephants, the most difficult horizontal martial arts to practice, even if it is the first level, if you want to cultivate, it will take a year at the earliest." ”

"You have been in the Demon Elimination Hall for three years, and you have excellent talents, and you have cultivated to the middle of the third layer, and you have cultivated into three dragons and three elephants. ”

"Under normal circumstances, you should be able to step into the fourth layer, and now meditate for three years, although you are not forbidden to cultivate, but without the assistance of medicinal materials, no matter how good your talent is, you should only be able to reach the late stage of the third layer. ”

Jiang Daoming looked at her, there was no joy or sadness on his face, and he was calmly scary.

Eighteen dragon elephants, long-lasting physical strength, long breath, infinite strength, the strongest horizontal martial arts, one dragon and one elephant on each layer, a total of eighteen layers.

This martial art is very difficult to practice, and it is also very easy to practice.

It is easy to practice because of this martial art, anyone can practice, and there are no restrictions.

It is difficult to practice because you need resources, and without resources, you can only polish it slowly and boil it out with time.

The first layer, which generally takes a year.

The second layer, which takes two years.

The third layer, which takes five years.

The fourth layer, it takes ten years.

Fifth layer, twenty years.

Sixth Floor: Forty Years......

If it continues to double like this, it will take 160 years for only the eighth layer.

As for the eighteenth floor, Jiang Daoming once calculated that it would take 163,840 years.

This is a martial art book that is almost impossible to practice, the Great Xia Kingdom, cultivating the Eighteen Dragon Elephants, known, the highest record is to reach the ninth layer.

As for the pioneers?

No one knows who the founder is, the eighteen dragon elephants were obtained in a secret realm, and no one knows who created them.

Of course, just because others can't do it doesn't mean that you can't.

He smiled at the nun, but did not speak, but a panel appeared in front of him that only he could see.

Jiang Daoming:

Martial arts: Eighteen dragon elephants

Realm: The pinnacle of the fourth layer

Life: 0

Life Element: Killing living beings can plunder Life Element, the same level is 1, the lower realm is 0.1, and the higher realm is 10.

1 life element is equal to ten days of penance.

That's why he was able to cultivate to the middle of the third layer for three years in the Demon Elimination Palace.

At the beginning of the exam, he killed more than 300 demons, including two demons, who were one level higher than him and obtained 343 life yuan.

In addition, before the exam, he had also killed a lot of demons and obtained some life elements.

In the past three years, although he has been meditating in the Pure Heart Xiaozhu, without the help of medicinal materials, he has a life element to help him cultivate.

Because he had a life element, he could cultivate quickly, so he chose this eighteen dragon elephants that were almost impossible to practice.

The Eighteen Dragon Elephants did not disappoint him, and within the same rank, almost no one could take a move from him.

Even if he is a realm higher than him, he is not his opponent.

It's just that when he was taking the demon slayer exam, for some reason, there was a special sense of excitement, which made him too excited, too fast, too ruthless, so he shot a little heavier.

The result was that the methods were too brutal, and more than 300 demons died without corpses.

He killed too many demons, evil spirits, demon qi coiled around his body, and ordinary people didn't dare to approach him at all.

In the end, because of the special thrill, he almost didn't stop, and was restrained before stopping.

The Demon Exterminator Hall determined that he was too murderous, and he was worried that he would be affected by the demon's qi and evil qi, so he did not let him become an official demon exterminator, and arranged to kill his heart under the pressure of this pure heart building.

And this white-clothed nun, whose legal name is Miaoyin, is a physician who helps people recuperate their mentality in the Great Xia Demon Elimination Temple, and a woman who cultivates the six links of Buddhism.

Many demon slayers will be affected by the demonic qi, so they will lose their minds and turn into demons.

A Buddha who cultivates his mind is very suitable to help the demon slayer calm his heart.

"If you're curious about my strength, but you don't want to give it a try, then don't ask. ”

Jiang Daoming said lightly, and waved his broom again: "Do you still recite the scriptures? If you don't recite it, go back to practice, my evil spirit has been removed, and there is no need to waste your efforts." ”

Miao Yin was a little helpless, but he could only recite the sutra beside him: "Contemplation of the Bodhisattva, when you walk deep in Prajnaparamita......
