Chapter 2: A Humble Life
Li Chau is located at the foot of Xiwei Mountain.
It is inhabited by a group of self-sufficient, self-sufficient foolish people who disdain to communicate with the outside world, and according to legend, they originally lived and worked in peace and contentment for hundreds of years under the protection of shrine maidens.
It wasn't until a hundred years ago that Xiwei Mountain suddenly became abnormal and was occupied by a fiery red mist, and the witch used up her last breath of hard work to slay the monster in the mist.
Now, without the protection of the shrine maiden, they have no choice but to cooperate with the outside world.
In the main city of Lizhou, there are heavy guards, and it is obvious that they are extremely repulsive to people from the outside world.
"Who?"
"Ah, I'm here from out of town, beg ......"
"Get out!"
Before a woman finished speaking, she was ruthlessly knocked to the ground, and the heavy guard shouted, "Only the chief of the demon removal path can enter the city, and other idle people will leave quickly."
Wan Ji, dressed in black, indifferently walked past the refugees and walked towards the city gate.
"You, stop!
The leader of the guards in charge of the inspection came over, and Wan Jiling immediately stood still and obediently cooperated with them to check.
"Who?" the man asked, glancing at Wan Jiling from top to bottom.
"I'm here to get rid of demons"
"It's just you!" the man looked a little disdainful when he saw Wan Jiling's thin body, "Not everyone can kill demons, do you have anything to prove your identity, do you have a token?"
I didn't expect it to be so strict here, Wan Jiling thought about it, and untied a piece of jade-colored token on his waist, this was given to her by Dongli, "This"
The man glanced at the token, and a different color flashed in his eyes, "Northern Sun Imperial Family?"
Wan Jiling said quietly, "Yes, I am the Demon Slayer Master of the Northern Sun Imperial Family-Wan Jiling, the chief disciple of Dongli who sat down."
It is rumored that Dongli is a Bodhi tree on the snow of the East Wilderness, with the ability to reach the sky, once slashed demons all the way to eliminate demons, invincible, and then the Quartet stabilized, he entered the North Day, and became the most famous demon master in the North Day.
As soon as Dongli's name came out, that person was obviously taken aback, and he dared to pretend to be Dongli's master apprentice, I am afraid that there will not be the first person in this world.
The man gave the token to Wan Jiling, "You, go in!"
"Thank you"
When Wan Jiling's figure walked away, the man called a guard beside him and whispered, "Go back to the Holy Maiden, this time to eliminate the demon, there is the Northern Sun Royal Family to join, please be careful"
"Yes"
In Lizhou City, most of them are high-level attics, singing and dancing inside, everyone is dressed brightly, and it looks quite exotic.
At the entrance of a liquor store called "Old Dream", a large number of people gathered.
"Didn't you say that there was a saint, and where was the saint?"
"I heard it's a beauty!"
Seeing this, two little girls were about to squeeze into the crowd, but were stopped by a well-dressed man following behind them, "Two good junior sisters, don't make trouble, okay, we're here to get rid of demons, not to play."
"Isn't it the third senior brother, you're in charge of eliminating demons, Qiqi and I are just here to practice"
The faces of the two little girls were full of innocence, which made the man quite helpless, and suddenly, as if he had seen something, his eyes looked towards Wan Jiling.
Wan Jiling immediately turned around and lowered his head.
The sunset clouds are a sect of cultivating immortals, and the perception ability of her disciples is really extraordinary, she has tried her best to hide her breath and minimize her sense of existence, but she is still almost discovered.
The man is Gu Zhaowu, the third disciple of the head of the Xizhao Cangyun Sect, and the other two are the two female disciples A Ruan and Qiqi, who are newly accepted by the deputy head Lin Yuehuan.
Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the crowd, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at the source of the sound.
A woman walked out from the second floor of the restaurant, it was a beautiful woman who looked extremely gentle and graceful, dressed in pure white, with a tear mole hanging from the corner of her eye, which added a few pieces of beauty to her originally enchanting face.
"Knock on the Holy Maiden!"
The local people knelt on the ground and saluted for a moment.
With a classic smile on the corner of her mouth, the saint raised her hand gracefully, signaling the people to get up, and her eyes swept over everyone gently.
"First of all, as the saint of Lizhou City, I welcome all friends from all over the world, thank you very much for coming to protect the safety of my people in Lizhou, and it is also an honor for me to invite you.
However, we need to be cautious when it comes to eliminating demons, and there are a few points that I need to make clear to you in advance:
First, that monster is the Golden Feather Bird Demon, it is not an ordinary demon, it has been cultivated for hundreds of years, and it is good at using pupil techniques to deceive people's hearts, and you must remember not to look at his eyes when you meet him;
Second, you should have heard that Xiwei Mountain was once occupied by a demon, and now although the demon has been removed, its residual demon fragrance is still spreading to Xiwei Mountain.
Therefore, all those who enter the mountain need to take a self-made antidote pill in advance, the effect of the antidote pill is only two hours, once the hour has passed, you will be poisoned by the magic incense if you don't go out of Xiwei Mountain, and if you don't eat the antidote pill within an hour, you will bleed to death in seven orifices.
Therefore, when the time comes, please evacuate in time regardless of success or failure;
Third, this demon eradication task is very difficult, and it is very likely that there will be a danger to life, and now, if someone wants to quit, they can leave the city on their own, we can understand it completely, and we will not stop it.
Those who are determined to get rid of the demon can come forward and receive the antidote pill, which is limited to one per person due to the limited quantity."
Soon, many people left the door of the wine shop, and a piece of land was vacated, and several girls came out and handed out a black pill to each of the people who stayed there.
The pill exuded a bitter taste, Wan Jiling took it in her hand, turned around and left, she could complete the demon removal alone.
"Wait!" but she didn't want to, and suddenly someone called out to her. Listening to the voice, it seemed to be the disciple of the previous sunset and clouds.
Wan Ji was worried in his heart, and stood still for a while.
Gu Zhaowu stepped forward, "I wonder why this son doesn't dare to show his true face?"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the audience fell on Wan Jiling, and everyone exclaimed in surprise, when such a black-clothed man who looked extremely bad appeared, they didn't even notice it.
The saint looked at this side calmly and did not move.
"Why is this boy blocking his face?" someone asked again.
The scene of being bullied and beaten when he was a child instantly came to mind, and Wan Jiling gritted his teeth and tried to calm himself down.
"It's ugly and inconvenient to show off," she said indifferently.
As a result, listening to her words aroused the curiosity of some people, and suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the wind blew the broken hair on her forehead, and the red eyes suddenly fell into the eyes of everyone.
"Ah, it's a youkai!"
The few people standing next to him were so frightened by Wan Jiling's red eyes that they retreated one after another, and almost fell.
"Where is the demon, dare to blend in with the crowd, what is the matter?"
Someone secretly threw a hidden weapon, Wan Jiling heard the wind, closed his eyes and didn't hide, and he was forced to suffer.
"Poof" deep into the shoulder bone.
While feeling the pain, a wave of despair welled up in the heart, as humans always do, just because of a pair of eyes, they want to kill her.
At that moment, "Wait!"
The saintess upstairs suddenly spoke, "This is Master Dongli's disciple Wan Ji and Wan Gongzi, right?"
"What?"
The group of people exclaimed again, and the person who shot the hidden weapon immediately slipped away when he heard it.
Wan Jiling looked up at the saint and bowed respectfully, "Exactly"
The saint smiled slightly, "Even so, it's not surprising to have a pair of red eyes, and the matter of eliminating demons will be troublesome to Wan Gongzi."
"It seems that it was all a misunderstanding, so let's all disperse!" shouted the maid beside the holy woman.
As soon as these words came out, it was like a reassuring pill, and everyone instantly received their hearts, and soon, they dispersed one after another.
Wan Jiling took two steps forward, but he didn't want Gu Zhaowu to follow, "Young Master Wan, please stay, I'm here to apologize......"
Wan Ji left quickly without looking back, "No need, little things, I don't care about it"
None of these people, she wants to be implicated.
