Chapter 31: The Man-Eating Demon
"Originally, we had the protection of immortals, and the wind and rain were smooth, and it was a day of good health. Who knew that in recent decades, in this land of ten thousand, an immortal gate called the Ten Thousand Saints Sect suddenly appeared, and it was extremely powerful, and it seemed to be more powerful than the immortals of Lingqiao. ”
"What?All Saints Sect?" When Qin Qianye heard the name of the Ten Thousand Saints Sect, his expression changed greatly, his face was sad and angry, and he stood up.
Shi Jian was also startled by him when he suddenly saw him like this, and hurriedly asked why.
Qin Qianye's face was pale, showing a look of grief and indignation, Gu Zi sighed angrily for a long time, Fang Chang breathed a long sigh of relief, and sat down. He picked up the big bowl and drank all the wine in the bowl in one gulp, at this time he had regarded Shi Jian as his friend in Taoyuan Village, and he didn't hide it at the moment, so he told Qin Yishan and others that they had gone up the mountain to hunt, and occasionally entered the True Ascension Xuantian Cave Mansion, and robbed Ma Yun, the third elder of the Ten Thousand Saints Sect, in detail, but he hid the matter about Taoyuan Village and didn't say anything.
When Shi Jian heard that he had suffered this great calamity at a young age, he suddenly felt sympathy and sighed: "This person of the Ten Thousand Saints Sect is really insidious and vicious, even if he has the methods of immortals, it is no wonder that he will be regarded as a demon by people. In fact, you are not the only one who has this grief and anger, our village almost suffered a catastrophe a few days ago, if it weren't for my luck, I would have been poisoned, I guess this is also inseparable from those demons of the Ten Thousand Saints Sect, because there are only these two immortal gates in this land of ten thousand miles, and the immortals of Lingqiao have been here for thousands of years, and they have always done good deeds and accumulated virtues. It was only after the establishment of this Sect of All Saints here that all kinds of disasters began to occur in this place, such as the kind of thing that happened to our village was quite good, and even worse, I heard that a certain county town was moved to the ground overnight, and no one survived. Hundreds of thousands of people disappeared in one fell swoop. You say it's not scary. ”
"Brother Shi, when I entered the village just now, I saw white flags hanging everywhere in the village, could it be the catastrophe that happened a few days ago that you just mentioned?"
Shi Jian said sadly: "You are right, that's right, it's really tragic, almost every family has died!"
Qin Qianye said: "When I came in before, the people here avoided me like they had met a monster as soon as they saw me, could it be that it had something to do with it?"
Shi Jian said: "Yes, it is precisely because of this incident! A few days ago, a few demons who flew away from the sky suddenly fell into our village, and at first we all thought that they were immortals descending to earth, so we worshiped them very respectfully, and sent them the best wine and food to show our filial piety, hoping to bless us." I didn't expect them to go crazy after drinking and do such beastly things. Alas!" His expression trembled, and he could no longer speak, which showed that he still hated and feared.
Seeing this, Qin Qianye hurriedly poured a cup of tea for him and said, "Brother Shi, don't be so excited, be careful of hurting your body, you speak slowly." What kind of monsters are they? ”
Shi Jian sighed and said, "They look like people, but it is said that demons can be ever-changing, who knows their true appearance." They act cruelly, eat the hearts and livers of children, and suck the essence and blood of virgins, which is simply a loss of conscience, and they are not as good as animals. It's a pity that mortals like us can't go up to Lingqiao Immortal Mountain, so I wish the immortals. ”
It turned out that a few days ago, a few people who claimed to be immortals fell from the sky, and the villagers thought that the gods were coming to the world, and sent them wine and food, but they went crazy after drinking, and killed dozens of people in the village, and their methods were extremely cruel. They first used demon magic to restrain people, and then dug out their hearts and livers from the chests of living people, chewed and devoured them, and dozens of children in the village were killed by digging out their hearts. They suck the blood of men, and they pick on virgins until they turn them into dry corpses. In one day, this village, which was once indisputable, became a purgatory on earth. The people in the village were frightened because of this, so they were frightened by Qin Qianye.
Qin Qianye listened to Shi Jian's narration, and gritted his teeth with hatred, slapped the table and said angrily: "These demons, who have been armed with magical powers, actually do such evil, if they succeed in cultivation one day, they will definitely kill them to death, so as to relieve the hatred in my heart." "I secretly said in my heart, I met these scum on another day, if I can kill them, I will never let them go, so as to wash the hatred of the innocent villagers here.
Shi Jian sighed: "It's not what you said, it's just that we are mortals after all, no matter how brave you are, in their eyes, you are just like wood and mustard, and you can only let it be slaughtered." ”
The implication is that he is really helpless, and he hates it in his heart, and for a while, he doesn't know what to say, so he has to drink desperately.
Qin Qianye asked, "Brother Shi, since those people call themselves immortals and can fly to the sky, they won't appear here for no reason, right?"
Shi Jian sighed: "They are all black suits, tiger stripe cloaks, and they all come and go without a trace, how can we laymen know." It's just that one of them is a blind and red-bearded evil man, holding a pair of hammers, which is different and very fierce, as if he is the leader of those people, which is impressive, and the rest are all sword-wielding, and there is no difference. ”
After the people of Shijia Village understood that it was a false alarm, they finally let go of the big stone in their hearts. They were all enthusiastic, down-to-earth farmers. After knowing that Qin Qianye was not a bad person, he immediately became friendly. It's rare for outsiders to come to this remote village, so they naturally want to come and see it. With so many people coming to see him, Qin Qianye became embarrassed instead.
Shi Jian and Qin Qianye hit it off at first sight and insisted on staying with him for a few days. At this time, Qin Qianye had nowhere to stay, and he didn't know anything about things outside the mountain, seeing that he was kind and earnest, he didn't shirk it, so he stayed and just listened to Shi Jian talk about some things outside.
Shi Jian was very happy when he saw that he agreed, and hurriedly scalded a few pots of wine, and said with a smile: "Little brother, your amount of wine is really good, this kind of grain wine I make homemade, as its name suggests, is directly made from grain, the wine is extremely strong, if ordinary people drink three or two bowls without getting drunk, it is considered a good amount of wine, I am the most drinkable here, only four or five bowls." Just now I saw that you have drunk six or seven bowls, and you can still act like a nobody, if you are really a man, it really makes my brother admire!"
Qin Qianye said in his heart, the wild fruit wine I drank in the past was several times stronger than this, and it was rare for me to get drunk, not to mention these. smiled at the moment: "The eldest brother's alcohol consumption is also very good, why be humble, besides, you and I hit it off at first sight, so there is no need to say those polite words." ”
Shi Jian smiled: "What my brother said is exact. ”
Suddenly, he said solemnly: "Little brother, I, Shi Jian, have lived in this remote village for a long time, and I have never seen a person who fell in love with you on weekdays. I have a brother who was also killed by those demons a few days ago, and he has no brothers, and today I rarely met my brother, and I am happy, so I want to form a brother with a different surname with you, what do you think?"
Qin Qianye saw that although he talked a lot, he was very cheerful, and he was in harmony with Zhao Shanhe's temperament, and he already liked it in his heart, as if he had met an old friend. At the moment, he hurriedly smiled: "Big brother's words are exactly what I think in my heart, how can I not be unwilling." ”
Shi Jian saw that he promised so happily, and his heart was even happier, so he hurriedly asked his Hun family to prepare incense and blood food, and even swore an oath to the heavens and formed brothers with different surnames.
I only heard Shi Jian laugh and said: "Brother, it is really the happiest thing in my life that my eldest brother can worship you today." Since you and I are already my own brothers, if there is a problem in the future, as long as the eldest brother can help one or two, just ask. ”
Qin Qianye said with a smile: "Big brother, if the little brother can succeed in the future, he will not forget the kindness of the big brother today." ”
Shi Jian was overjoyed, hurriedly pulled Qin Qianye to sit down, and said with a smile: "What is unkind, come on, come on, happy today, you and my brother will come and drink a few more glasses, and we will definitely get drunk and rest!" ”
