"Demon, you say I'm ...... Demon?"

The girl seemed to think of something, and her eyes began to become confused.

But then, her eyes quickly returned to clarity and firmness:

"I'm not a demon! I'm a human!"

Jiang Yuan was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile:

"Are you pretending to be crazy and stupid with me? Or do you think this will escape my eyes?"

The girl looked at Jiang Yuan and said as if arguing:

"I'm a human being! I'm Yu Sheng's daughter Yu Ling! A native of Wei County, I'm eighteen years old this year!"

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that the girl who claimed to be Yu Ling was serious and decisive.

At this time, Han Chao, who was checking nearby, suddenly shouted:

"There's still a guy here who hasn't lost his breath, do you want to kill him? But judging by the way he looks, he won't live long. ”

Jiang Yuan turned his head to look, only to see an old man in his fifties revealed from a wide padded jacket that Han Chao lifted from the ground.

The old man had been slashed with a sword, and the blood had dyed his gray beard and hair red. His eyes were still open, but his legs were twitching.

The girl who called herself Yu Ling suddenly shouted:

"Uncle Li Shan!"

While shouting, Yu Ling quickly rushed to the old man's side:

"Uncle Li Shan, how are you?"

Han Chao next to the old man laughed and said:

"This old man's sternum has been chopped up, and he can't live anymore!"

Yu Ling didn't pay attention to Han Chao, but tried to block the shocking sword wound on the old man's chest with her hand. However, the wound was too long and too deep for Yu Ling to stop the blood gushing out of it, no matter how hard she tried.

The old man's eyes, which were already dazed, finally focused a little at this time, and he said weakly in the light of return:

"Miss...... The older I get, the more I'm afraid of death....... Didn't help the lord and the lady...... Sorry ......"

Yu Ling grabbed the old man's hand tightly and couldn't cry anymore.

Jiang Yuan also came to the old man's side:

"Do you know that your young lady is a demon?"

"Miss is...... "Demon?" said the old man, "how is that possible...... I grew up watching young ladies...... But ......"

Speaking of this, the old man seemed to think of something, and he turned his head to look at Yu Ling:

"Miss....... There's something that the lord didn't have a chance to tell you....... I'm the only one to speak...... In fact...... Actually, Miss is ...... The ...... adopted by the lord The lady went early, and the lord had no intention of marrying again....... There are no children and no daughters under their knees...... In Xuanjiang...... I met a young lady who was abandoned in a wooden basin and floated to the shore...... The lord didn't allow us to mention it, and we never dared to say it...... Sorry ......"

The old man grasped Yu Ling's hand tightly and slowly released, his pupils began to dilate, and his chest sank without heaving or breathing.

Yu Ling cried out in grief and cried heartbreakingly.

No one likes such an annoying cry, Han Chao's eyes flashed fiercely, and he asked:

"Childe, do you want me to shut her up?"

Jiang Yuan thought for a while and said:

"Forget it. ”

Han Chao clenched his fist at Jiang Yuan, and then continued to inspect the surroundings with a knife.

The neighborhood was quickly checked, and there were no more living people.

No one put out the fires burning in the carriages and tents, and there were flames that could at least warm up in the snowy night.

Han Chao, Yuan He, and Geng Chang, who found some wine and food in the unburned cargo, began to sit down by the fire and drank.

The ugly martial artist with a deep mortar was still kneeling on the ground, and he kept saying good things to Han Chao and the others, but no one paid attention to him.

Yu Ling's bitter crying began to gradually turn into a low sob.

Jiang Yuan, who had been sitting next to her, spoke at this time:

"Hey, I'm interested in your story, tell me about it, and maybe I'll allow you to get revenge. ”

Yu Ling began to talk about her past, from how she was ignorant and naughty all day long when she was a child, to the happiest days when she ushered in - following her father to do business everywhere, seeing strange scenery and humanity everywhere, and tasting delicious food all over the world.

Later, the father and daughter met acquaintances in the Acropolis outside, only to learn that many people had died in the haunted ghosts of Wei County, and the entire Wei County had been blocked by officers and soldiers and no one was allowed to enter. After losing their family business and being in debt, the father and daughter had to come to Wushu County to seek refuge with relatives, and after being cold-eyed under the fence, the father used the last borrowed money to plan to make a comeback and go to the turbulent Dan County to make money.

Then, tonight, the night, everything was frozen in this snowy winter night.

Jiang Yuan listened quietly, it was the first time he had heard the news about Wei County.

To the east of Yang County is Taiping Town, and further east of Taiping Town is Wei County. To the north of Wei County, you can break away from the boundary of Guxi County and come to Wujiao County.

Jiang Yuan clearly remembered that on that night like purgatory on earth, Yang County was assigned to the Corpse God Dao, and Wei County was assigned to the Five Ghost Dao.......

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yuan asked:

"You didn't realize you were a demon, or ...... You already know it but you don't want to admit it?"

"I don't know...... I don't get sick since I was a child, I get better faster than other children, and I can see things that others can't......"

When Yu Ling said this, she raised her head and looked at Jiang Yuan:

"But I'm human! I'm Yu Sheng's daughter Yu Ling! A native of Wei County, I'm eighteen years old this year!"

Jiang Yuan was silent when he heard this.

A demon who thinks he is a human resonates with him.

Myself...... Is this the case yourself?

Jiang Yuan is still a human being, he doesn't quite understand.

Is he just like the girl in front of him, obviously not a human being, but still stubbornly sticking to the identity of a "human"?

He shook his head, putting aside these thoughts:

"What do I think these useless things for? I can't eat or spend money! I just need to live well!"

So Jiang Yuan grabbed Yu Ling's arm and brought her to the ugly warrior who was still kneeling in the snow.

"You have two choices," Jiang Yuan said, "kill him, or eat him." ”

Han Chao and Yuan He saw that Jiang Yuan was about to do something, so they hurriedly threw away the food and wine in their hands and ran over. They twisted the arms of the ugly warrior behind him and lowered his waist so that his neck was exposed.

Yu Ling looked at Jiang Yuan suspiciously:

“...... Eat?"

"Isn't it normal for demons to eat people?" Jiang Yuan said, "You have such a big enmity with him, wouldn't it be nice to eat all his flesh and blood?" I know you haven't eaten people, but I've heard people say that after a demon eats a person, you can better understand yourself, which is similar to 'awakening', and at the same time, your strength will increase greatly." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Yuan still reminded:

"But I've also heard that there are some bad side effects, which is that you can't face the sun anymore, and after you eat the first person, you have to eat the second and third ....... Can't stop. ”

Yu Ling looked at the ugly warrior with deep eyes hatefully, she clenched her teeth and said:

"I'm human, I don't eat people!"

Jiang Yuan stared at Yu Ling for a while, then took out the waist knife from Han Chao's waist and handed it to Yu Ling:

"Then there's another option. ”

Yu Ling took the sharp waist knife, but her whole body trembled uncontrollably, and she was about to lose her grip on the knife.

At this time, Yu Ling couldn't help but start hating, hating her cowardice.

She wanted to cut this ugly warrior with a thousand knives all the time, but when this moment really came, she was scared.

Not to mention cutting down, even lifting the knife is extremely difficult for her.

Jiang Yuan looked impatient, he came behind Yu Ling, and grabbed her hand in Yu Linghuan's arms.

Yu Ling trembled, and her body tensed violently.

Jiang Yuan's powerful big hand firmly grasped Yu Ling's delicate little hand holding the knife, and he controlled Yu Ling to raise the waist knife high:

"It's not difficult, it's good to be the first time. Keep your eyes on his neck and slash it down!"

The ugly warrior with a deep molar's head made a sound in his mouth, and he didn't know if he wanted to ask for mercy or scold angrily, but Han Chao had already kicked him in the mouth, dislocating his jaw.

"Ready. Jiang Yuan said.

Before Yu Ling could respond, Jiang Yuan had already grabbed her hand and slashed it down.

Blood splattered, and the ugly warrior with deep eyes screamed in pain.

The knife did not slash at the warrior's neck, but in his back.

Yu Ling was so frightened that her whole body trembled violently again:

"Chop...... Chop crooked!"

"I did it on purpose. Jiang Yuan laughed, "Don't you have a grudge against him, if you don't add a little pain to him, how can you let him die like this?"

Looking at the wound on the warrior's vest, Yu Ling couldn't help but close her eyes.

Jiang Yuan said in her ear:

"Keep your eyes open!"

So Yu Ling could only open her eyes again.

Jiang Yuan continued to control her hand and raised the knife:

"Well, I don't like to kill people either. With this sword, we will cut off his head. Remember, push hard, use all your strength!"

Yu Ling gritted her teeth and controlled herself to concentrate all her strength on the hand holding the knife.

Then, Jiang Yuan pressed his hand down, Yu Ling couldn't help but let out a low scream, and the waist knife also slashed down.

The ugly warrior's head fell off his shoulders and rolled into the snow.

Jiang Yuan had already quickly released his hand when he pressed it down, and this knife was completely cut by Yu Ling herself.

Yu Ling looked at the head in the snow in a daze, then threw down the waist knife in her hand, turned around and threw herself into Jiang Yuan's arms and cried.

Jiang Yuan laughed and patted Yu Ling on the back.

Han Chao picked up the waist knife from the ground, grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and wiped the blood off the blade, and then retracted the waist knife into the sheath.

The cold wind howled between the heavens and the earth, and the snow on the ground was blown up, and the snow particles were dancing wildly with the wind.

The group sat down again at the campfire, broke the wheels of the carriage, and threw them into the fire.

The fire was blazing, and Geng Chang drew on the ground with a wooden branch:

"In three days, we will be able to reach Jinhui Mountain. That area belongs to the territory of the Giant Sword Gate, and the good open-pit mines on Jinhui Mountain have been occupied by the Giant Sword Gate. Childe, where you are going, here. This is a section of the eastern part of Jinhui Mountain, where it is mined underground and close to the junction of Guxi County and Wushu County. ”

Jiang Yuan nodded and asked:

"How's the situation at the junction now?"

Geng Chang replied:

"The junction has been cordoned off by officers and soldiers almost a year ago, and no one is allowed to approach. Otherwise, most of the ore mined in the mine was sold to Wei County in Guxi County. With the stationing of officers and soldiers, they were also interested in the mine. Several mining sites near the junction are all owned by officers and soldiers. ”

Jiang Yuan was a little puzzled when he heard this, the stationing of officers and soldiers was to prevent the demons and ghosts of the Five Ghost Dao of Wei County from wandering around the land, and there must be many children of the Gong family serving as generals among the officers and soldiers.

Since there are officers and soldiers stationed, how did the five ghost Dao demons in Wei County run into Wujiao County and attack the children of the Lan family in the mine?
