The cold light splashed by the Changye Knife slightly dispersed the darkness, allowing Jiang Wang to see farther.
I didn't see the figures of Guard Nanyu and Door God Pusou, but I saw unclear dark red lines in the dark space, like a spread out net.
The net quickly collapsed and then shattered along with the dark space.
Jiang Wang looked at the government office in front of him and remained silent.
When he really returned to reality, he had a not-so-good feeling.
Chief Ning was right in front of him.
Hao Han and other monks from the government office lay on the ground, but another official woke up first.
He raised his eyes and saw the monster-looking Chief Ning, and was immediately on guard, "Brother Ning, you are already a monster, and it has penetrated deep into your bones. There is no way to save you. The only way to help you escape is to kill you. Really Brother Ning will never blame me."
Chief Ning glanced at him, grinned and said, "What ability do you have to kill me?"
The official said in a deep voice: "At the risk of my life, Brother Ning and I, as well as all the colleagues in the government, we all have the same philosophy, which is to subjugate demons and eliminate demons. For this, we can devote everything. If Brother Ning is allowed to Living as a monster, the people of Nanyu will have no way to survive, and I will not allow this to happen."
Ning Changli pointed at the sleeping guard Nanyu and said, "Then you don't care about his life or death?"
"What do you mean? We have all woken up, and the guard will naturally wake up as well. Did you do something else?"
At this time, Hao Han and other monks from the government office also woke up slowly. When they came to their senses, Hao Han's reckless temper emerged again, and he directly drew his sword and rushed towards Chief Ning, "The man named Ning always suppressed me in the past. , now that he has become a monster, he can only die by my sword!"
Having said that, there was sadness on Hao Han's face, and it was obvious that what she said was not consistent with what she was thinking.
The monks in the Nanyu Mansion were like-minded. No matter how they got along with each other, they could always give each other their backs anytime and anywhere. Hao Han thought the same as the chief official. The only way to help the chief official Ning escape was to Just kill him.
At this moment, we must not be indecisive and be kind to women, otherwise the entire people of Nanyu, or even a county, will suffer.
The monks from the government office who woke up were also filled with sadness and were ready to take action.
But Jiang Wang interrupted their actions, looked at Chief Ning and said, "It's time to tell the truth."
Ning Changli was silent for a moment and grinned: "It doesn't really matter whether you believe it or not, but I can tell you for sure that some of the words are true, just like I am indeed trapped. I can clearly see what you are capable of." , thinking that you have the ability to save me, and it turns out so."
Jiang Wang frowned and said, "So that world really has nothing to do with you?"
Ning Changli said: "I am the same as them, there is no difference, it's just that the place where we are trapped is different."
Jiang Wang asked: "How did you turn into a demon?"
Ning Changli sneered: "If you don't tell me, I have forgotten that I was once a human being. Of course, I can't give you an answer. All I have now is hunger, and that feeling is constantly devouring me. You all care about that guy's life or death, right?" ?So the only thing you can do is to let me go, and I can let this city go for the time being."
Seeing that most of them had woken up, only Guard Nanyu was still lying quietly. Hao Han and others looked extremely ugly.
Jiang Wang said calmly: "If that world is not your handiwork, the sleepiness of Guard Nanyu should have nothing to do with you, and you misunderstood one thing. They care about the life and death of Guard, but I don't care."
Ning Changli said: "Don't do anything in front of me. If you don't care, why did you take the risk to break in?"
Jiang Wang said: "Rescuing them is just a matter of course. My purpose is to kill the demon."
Chief Ning stared at Jiang Wang.
Gradually, I became a little scared.
Because he found out that Jiang Wang didn't lie.
You're telling the truth!
Jiang Wang's ability to help him out of trouble has proven his strength. The only one Ning Changli can rely on is Nanyu Guards, but now, this only reliance seems to be gone.
He ran away immediately.
But as soon as the figure moved, Jiang Wang grabbed him and slammed him to the ground.
"I probably believe that what you just said is not a lie, because you are much weaker than I thought, which means that you wasted a lot of my time, and I am very angry now."
Chief Ning shouted at Hao Han and others, "Don't you care about that guy's life or death? Help me stop him!"
The monks in the government office were in a dilemma.
Although they are all determined to subjugate demons, just like when the great demon from the Snow Realm came before, not everyone is willing to sacrifice for it, and compared to this, they are even less willing to let anything happen to Nanyu Guards.
Hao Han was the quickest to make up his mind. She wanted Nanyu Zhengshu to live more than anyone else, but if the price was to let Ning Changli go, thus causing thousands of people to lose their lives, Nanyu Zhanshu would choose to die even if he lived.
She gritted her teeth, tears filled her eyes, and raised her knife to slash at Official Ning.
Ning Changli, who was controlled by Jiang Wang, had no ability to fight back. He could only watch the knife in Hao Han's hand fall, and then one knife after another, turning him into ashes in extreme pain.
Jiang Wang didn't stop him.
It was because Chief Ning was really much weaker than he thought, even far inferior to Du Yanruo. Even if he killed Chief Ning himself, he wouldn't get much nourishment. Although it was better than nothing, Jiang Wang was still confused, feeling that this The incident is not that simple.
If the so-called world in the painting was used by the door god to trap Ning Changli, then this world has been defeated, and there is no reason why Nanyu Guards should not wake up.
It would be unreasonable to say that it was still a nightmare, because Hao Han and the others were all awake.
So Jiang Wang guessed that there were other more powerful monsters behind this.
Thinking back to the time when he was going from Huncheng to Qingxuan Department for a banquet, the probability of encountering monsters on the way was very low. However, in the land of Longchan, which was just a southern jade city, monsters appeared one after another. Jiang Wang almost wanted to live here forever. .
The monks in the government office couldn't hide their grief when they looked at Nanyu's guard. Chief Ning was killed by Hao Han and saved Nanyu. However, Nanyu lost his guard, which was not the greatest sorrow.
"He is still alive, which proves that Chief Ning is lying, and Guard Nanyu is still trapped."
Jiang Wang could see clearly that the death of Chief Ning had not had any impact on Nanyu's guard, and he still looked sleepy.
When another official heard this, he bowed his head excitedly, "Please save the Lord Guard!"
But he didn't kneel down. Jiang Wang stretched out his hand to stop him.
Hao Han was also very excited, but she didn't know what to say for a moment, her mind was like a paste, "If you can save the guard, then you will be considered great!"
This sounded strange, and everyone looked at Hao Han.
The monks from the government office pushed her to the back and saluted in unison: "Please sir, please save the Lord Guard!"
Jiang Wang was thinking about more powerful monsters and said, "Take me to the house of Chief Ning to have a look."
Another official led the way.
A monk from the government stayed to look after Nanyu.
Hao Han pushed away the monks, picked up Nan Yu to guard, chased Jiang Wang away, and said, "It's safer this way."
...
Pushing open the door, the chief official said: "This is the residence of Chief Ning."
Jiang Wang observed carefully that the tables and chairs in the room had been torn to pieces, and there were even obvious scratches. It seemed that they were caused by Ning Changli when he turned into a demon. There was nothing worth paying attention to elsewhere. He pointed to one place and asked: "Why is there something in this room?" a rock?"
The stone was about the size of a fist, and its surface was very smooth. It was very different from the stones on the courtyard wall and even the rockery that guarded the government office.
The chief officials were also confused.
Jiang Wang picked up the stone, and there was a stream of light emerging from it. It was a rather strange pattern or some kind of symbol that he had never heard of before.
"Although I don't understand what it is yet, this stone is probably brought back by Chief Ning from the place where you conquered demons. There should be records of various monsters in the government office. Please check it out. There are There are no monsters associated with this pattern on the stone."
When the chief official heard this, he immediately led his people to the case library, dug out the wooden slips recording monsters, and returned with a bunch of them.
Everyone looked up the patterns on the stones together.
Hao Han asked Guard Nan Yu to lean against the wall of the house, ordered the monks from the government office to take care of it, and also picked up the wooden slips to read through.
“No identical patterns were found, but descriptions related to the patterns and stones were recorded.”
Jiang Wang took the wooden slip from the chief official.
What is recorded on it is a monster called "Axe".
The word 'extremely vicious' was also marked in red ink.
The images of ax carvings are weird and incredible. They usually live in remote places such as caves and streams. Their characteristic is that they can use demonic power to carve various mysterious patterns and symbols on stones, and they can turn the carved things into reality.
The traces of Ax Carving were first discovered in the Battle of Mozhang, but there is reason to suspect that it was the monster that first came to the world during the Battle of Candle God. Because Ax Carving likes to stay in remote and uninhabited places, it rarely poses a threat to the human world.
The purpose of labeling it with the word "extremely fierce" is because the ax carving has the Taoist behavior above the bathing snow realm. If it doesn't move, it will be a catastrophe for the entire human world. The currently known ax carving only exists in Long Chan.
The wooden slips even record that there may be only one carved ax in the world, which has existed since the Battle of Candle God to this day.
Jiang Wang secretly smacked his tongue.
The description of the ax carvings can basically confirm the origin of the world in the painting. There is also a stone with mysterious patterns in Ning Changli's house. All the facts are before our eyes, and there is no need to doubt it anymore.
But what surprised Jiang Wang was the Taoism of the ax carving.
That seemed to be a demon god of the same level as Yanshanjun.
Even if he is now at the peak of bathing and snow, if he faces the demon god, he will probably be slapped to death.
I kept thinking about the more powerful monster behind me. Although I got what I wanted, it seemed to be too powerful.
He carefully asked the officials where they went to slay demons.
It was a village in the mountains. Because there were more monsters than expected, the two officials and the monks who led the government were locked in a bitter battle. The scope of subjugation and elimination of monsters was also directly extended, and it was inevitable that the battlefield would be expanded into deeper areas. In the mountains.
And the ax carving lives in the deep mountains.
Some people died, but not completely...
