Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Jiao. I was born in a small mountain village in Julu, Hebei. My mother died in childbirth. Maybe my father wanted me to not be lonely, so he found me another mother. In this way, for the next few years In the past year, I have had two more younger brothers, but I know that they all don’t like me. My father, my younger brother, the elders in the village, and other children all don’t like me. The only difference in the whole village is that they are better than me. Born two days later, a little girl named Erya.
People in the village say that I am the reincarnation of the devil, because they say that my eyes will become as black as ink from time to time, and many people who have been looked at by my black pupils will die innocently in a short period of time! So, they are all afraid of me, including my two younger brothers.
Erya's situation is similar to mine, but not because she is different, but because Erya's parents died when she was very young. They said they were killed by Erya, so they are also Stay away from her, and then a very fierce-looking uncle and aunt in the village took her in. I don't know why they took her in. It can be seen that they all dislike Erya.
Life was very ordinary. After dinner every day, I would sit leisurely with Erya under the big willow tree at the head of the village, watching the other friends playing there as the sun rose and set, until I was 5 years old. This peaceful life is broken!
There hasn’t been a single rain this year, so the farmers in the village naturally didn’t have much harvest. One day, Erya and I came to the willow tree at the head of the village to watch the ants move. Suddenly, a group of devils broke in from outside, and they all looked fierce. , armed with a long knife, came to our village and searched house to house. In the end, they not only took away some of the only food in the village, but also took away a few pretty aunts. From that day on, our lives changed, and it was only at this moment that I realized that the world was not as the old people in the village said. They had been lying to me!
This world is actually not the human world, but the demon world! The demon world is ruled by a demon emperor, who is what the villagers call the emperor of the Han Dynasty. He has many demon soldiers and generals under him. Although on the surface, they look the same as us, I can see them. Their true identity is that they are demons! It's the devil! ! And we humans are their captive meat. They will often steal human food, steal men to fight for them, and steal women to reproduce for them.
After this day, the village was different. There was less and less food. Later, even the surrounding leaves, tree roots, bugs, and ants were eaten. Later, the number of children in the village began to decrease. Until one day, Er Ya told me in horror that she overheard her uncle and aunt saying that they planned to exchange her with the sister next door and eat her.
She was very frightened and pulled me to cry, saying that she wanted me to take her away from this terrible village.
Seeing her crying, I felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, but I still said to her, why are you leaving? There are more devils out there, where can we go? I advised her not to be sad and told her that this was not a place where humans lived in the first place. Maybe if we were eaten, we would return to the original human world.
Erya has always been obedient to me, so she hooked up with me and we agreed to stay with me after she was eaten! And I want to be eaten as soon as possible. Then we can return to the human world and be good friends and live happily together!
Erya stopped crying. We sat under the dry willow tree looking at the empty village for a whole day, and during this day, our little fingers kept hooked. But there were some things I didn’t say to Erya, because I wasn’t sure if I could leave the demon world if I was eaten, but it couldn’t be worse...
The next day, I squatted alone under a dry willow tree, looking at the villagers who occasionally walked out of the village with hopeful eyes, hoping that they would eat me! But none of them looked at me. Only Erya's uncle and aunt wanted to come over and take me away. But after I glanced at them, I dropped the knife behind my back in fear and ran away. Yes, I didn't want to be Eat them, because they have become devils.
In this way, day after day, I waited for ten years. Although Erya under the willow tree often talked to me and comforted me not to be sad, I still became very depressed. In the past ten years, there have been fewer and fewer people in the village, and more and more devils. But maybe the devils are also afraid of me, so not only did they not eat me, they didn't even dare to touch my two younger brothers.
On this day, I was sitting under the willow tree as usual. Suddenly, my eyes lit up. A handsome middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe and a black beard fluttering in the wind appeared at the entrance of our village. I was very happy because he was neither human nor human. , nor the devil! I seemed to have found another way to leave the devil's world, so I ran over excitedly and asked, "Uncle, where are you from? Can you take me out of the devil's world?"
"Uncle? What do you call me?"
"Uncle." I said and looked at him strangely.
The strange uncle pondered for a moment and asked me to describe his appearance. And I said it exactly.
After hearing my description, the weird uncle touched his face in a hurry, then jumped out of the distance in fright, and said in a very frightened tone: "#*, you can actually see my origin?!"
Seeing that I made no next move, he boldly came closer and looked around me while making various complicated handprints. After a moment, he jumped away in shock: "I can't figure out your fate? !”
'Well, maybe people outside are surprised like this. 'I wonder.
After a while, he handed me a book and asked me to see if I could understand it. I took it and opened it. Strangely enough, I had never been to school at all, but the words in that book seemed to come alive and ran into my mind at once. Just like that, I read page by page. As the pages turned, the middle-aged man watched quietly. After about a while, I closed the book and returned it to him.
"How much do you understand?"
"I understand everything!"
"Impossible! Even the Palace Master took three days to understand this Taiping Qingling for the first time!"
"Why should I lie to you? Also, can you take Erya and me out of the demon world?"
"You draw a purification talisman recorded in the book and I will take a look."
"Will you take us away when the painting is finished?"
"You draw first!"
So I closed my eyes, and as my eyelids opened again, the world turned into a space composed of gray lines and countless lights and shadows. Everyone disappeared, replaced by various black, white, and gray air masses. Only the eyes were in front of me. The middle-aged Taoist priest is colorful!
I looked at him in surprise, then looked down and stretched out my right hand!
Erya floated out from the ground and handed me a dead leaf. I followed the method in the book and used my fingers to outline the purification charm on the leaf. As the last stroke fell, I shouted "Urgent!" "A freshly made purification amulet is ready!"
"Holy shit! Eyes of Chaos! Innate soul control?" The middle-aged man jumped out of the distance again, looked at me in horror like a monster, and then said uncertainly: "You can't be that senior who has transformed into a monster?" Cheng Cheng, let’s enjoy the trails here.”
I became a little impatient, frowned and asked, "I've finished the painting, can't you take Erya and me out of the devil's world?"
"Demon Realm?"
"Yes, this is the devil's world." I said with some disappointment. I originally thought he would be different, but hey.
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and asked: "What's your name?... Also, can you tell me about the world in your eyes? Well~ after that, maybe I will consider taking you away."
So, I told him everything I knew. When I mentioned my name was Zhang Jiao, the middle-aged man was obviously shocked, but he did not interrupt me and allowed me to continue. .
About an hour later, after listening to my story, the middle-aged man was silent for a long time, then sighed deeply, and then said to me: "I have ascended to the upper world, but for some reason I was knocked down back to this world. At this time, people... In the demon world, due to the collapse of order, the already small amount of spiritual energy has become even thinner. Without spiritual energy, my origin will weaken with the passage of time, and eventually it will dissipate between heaven and earth. After Through the advice of a senior, I learned that if I find a chosen one before my source is exhausted, I can take this opportunity to return to the upper realm. I will call that chosen one the 'key'."
The middle-aged man paused and continued: "Obviously, you are not the key, but with your incredible qualifications, if I turn a blind eye, even if I am lucky enough to return to the upper world, I will definitely have inner demons! So if I can leave, naturally I’ll take you away.”
Hearing this, I beamed with joy, and the middle-aged man continued: "In the meantime. If you agree, I will teach you the magic. First, you will be born with chaotic eyes, and you can see things that I cannot see. Second, if you agree, I will teach you the magic of magic." , once I fail, with your incredible qualifications, you can also find your own way!"
I glanced at Erya, who also nodded excitedly to me.
From that day on, he began to teach me Taoism. I wanted to accept him as my master, but he said that if he accepted me as his apprentice, my life would be shortened.
But in the end I couldn't defeat him, and finally decided to take on the role of a master and take on a disciple.
On the day he accepted his disciple, he said to me with sincerity and sincerity: "From now on, you will be the registered disciple of the Master of Langya Palace, and you and I will treat each other as brothers and sisters! If one day your strength exceeds that of our master, that is Master, you can terminate the master-disciple relationship at any time. But after all, we have a fate with our Langya Palace lineage. If Langya Palace is in danger in the future, please ask your junior brother to help you.
In addition, you must keep in mind that in this world, you cannot use power that does not belong to this world to kill, whether it is humans or demons. "
"Then can I use magic to save people?" I asked. After hesitating for a moment, the senior brother nodded.
