With the Heavenly Palace gaining momentum, the demon clan in decline, and almost everyone shouting for beatings, the demon cultivators in the human world are generally not having an easy time.
Since the Lich War, the demon clan has lost its dominant position in the heaven. Since then, they have been reduced to an embarrassing situation like mice crossing the street. They can only fight in the human country, heaven, and the underworld with their elder brothers. Struggling to survive in the cracks of the range, struggling to survive!
Those good territories, no matter whether they are occupied by the human race or not, those demon cultivators with clear minds dare not go there, especially the land in the Central Plains of China! Because it is a place favored by heaven and Buddhism. It is an important source of incense offerings and beliefs for them, and it is also a gathering place for human beings. However, monsters who dare to go there will generally not end well.
And the sites in a slightly different location naturally became a gathering place for the demon clan.
For example, right now in the desert of the Western Region, this is obviously a no-nonsense area, with many monsters living here mixed with the human race! It can be said that this is a rare place where the demon clan can transform into the outside world, but the competition here is too fierce. There are endless incidents of big demons eating small demons and group demons chasing single demons!
In addition, the products here are barren, there are few pedestrians, and there are very few human tribes. Therefore, the life of the demon cultivators has always been tight. It’s time to live like a savage living in the open air and digging holes to survive.
It was not bad during the Han Dynasty. Due to the Han Dynasty's opening up of the Silk Road and the expedition against the Xiongnu, the place became very lively, and the place after the war was more suitable for the monsters to fish in troubled waters, which made it easy for them to live. Lived a prosperous life.
At that time, no matter the passing caravans or the scattered human tribes, they would usually consciously pay tribute to the various demon kings entrenched here in order to obtain the guarantee of safe passage and residence!
Although there were some tribes who were unwilling to pay tribute and wanted money rather than their lives, they often had a lot of friction with the demon clan. Afterwards, it was natural that the demon kings would use the "drawing method" to plunder and rob people. Wealth, in order to maintain what we need, but at least the monsters are still moral and will not kill them all just to keep the water flowing?
Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the Silk Road passing through the land of the demon kings of the Western Regions has become busier. Some little demons have become better and better because of the long-term worship of merchants, such as Here in the Western Region, the Demon King's Stronghold of the Bull Demon King, which is the strongest, has the toughest backing, and has the most men, has even begun to directly and openly build cities and strongholds, blatantly letting people live together and collecting tolls, even for the gods patrolling in heaven. When they saw it, they could only turn a blind eye, and they didn't dare to take care of each other!
Since then, those who are willing to be restrained by others generally go to heaven to join or serve as mounts for some immortal gods, or to join powerful demon kings; and those who are not willing to be minions and demon generals They are scattered and entrenched in various places in the human world, either in groups of three or five, roaring proudly in the mountains and forests, or as a single demon occupying the area and becoming the king, or running to the mountains and forests of the Central Plains to wreak havoc and cause trouble...
Of course, the fate of those demon cultivators who are brave enough to hold back and cause trouble around the gathering place will generally not be too good.
Anyone who dares to show up and cause trouble in the territory of any mortal country in the human world, and whose cultivation level is low, will definitely be killed by human monks sooner or later, until his body is dead and his soul is extinguished. Until one day!
And for those with high cultivation, the end will be even more miserable!
Because, they will obviously be taken care of by the gods of heaven. From time to time, they will send some demon-killing heavenly soldiers and generals to come down to hunt monsters to show the majesty and presence of heaven? In the end, most of those demon cultivators will be beaten to death by the group, and the inner elixirs of their corpses, etc., will become the trophies of others. Even their souls will be taken away, and they will no longer exist in this world.
In this way, humans, monsters, heaven and various monks, etc., formed a strange balance in the three realms of this world. Even the weakest humans have long been accustomed to the life of monsters, monsters and gods in the world. , and Heavenly Court does not dare to kill those monsters who still have strength but are responsible, so as not to cause backlash and unnecessary turmoil.
Generally speaking, under the threat of heaven, the demon clan is quite responsible and will not and dare not invade the territory of the human race casually. Even those businessmen who have to go out to do business, as long as they pay tribute on time, there is no such thing. Only monsters will embarrass them when they are full.
Therefore, this land in the Western Region is like this.
Of course, no matter whether they are humans or monsters, some people don't like to follow the rules!
For example, the old Black Mountain demon who has practiced ghost cultivation for who knows how many years is currently attacking merchants and secretly absorbing the yang energy of living people in his sleep!
Originally, souls need to be reincarnated, but there are always exceptions! There are always some obsessions in the heart that cannot be let go, or due to other reasons, they will remain in the human world and continue to practice. Although they are not the right path and sooner or later they will dissipate into the Three Realms and completely lose their souls, there are always some who will take desperate risks.
Thus, the branch of ghost cultivation was born!
The biggest difference between ghost cultivators and human monks and demon cultivators is that they are born with imperfections. They only have spiritual bodies without physical bodies and regular Taoism. Even if they re-train their ghost bodies, they will still be unable to use their spiritual skills due to Yin. Excessive Qi leads to imbalance of Yin and Yang! The more powerful the ghost cultivators are, the more serious this problem will be. They can only rely on the yang energy of living people to extend their lifespan and regulate yin and yang, while still surviving.
So now, the old demon of Montenegro, who has been cultivating for who knows how many years and has been entrenched near the territory of Montenegro, is doing the evil deed of attacking living people and absorbing yang energy!
After he had just absorbed the yang energy and souls of dozens of merchants, he still felt dissatisfied, so he walked gently towards the haystack where he had just noticed the movement.
"..."
snort!
It turned out to be a pig demon and a river demon pretending to sleep?
Of course, the old Black Mountain demon also saw that not far away, there seemed to be a small curled-up body of a little human girl who seemed to be sleeping soundly?
"..."
The old Black Mountain demon, who had just finished sucking the merchants and still felt unsatisfied, crept over to the haystack and saw at a glance that the pig demon and the river demon were With your eyes closed, you are actually pretending to sleep?
However, he did not go to call out the two little demon kings who did not seem to be weak in cultivation.
Since the two of them are willing to pretend to be asleep and not cause trouble for themselves, he, the old demon from Montenegro, will definitely not easily embarrass each other. Because the demon world also has the rules of the demon world, as long as the other party does not overstep the boundary, as long as the other party does not disturb his meal, then there is no need for the old demon from Montenegro to make it too difficult for the two demons who take the initiative to show weakness.
Therefore, the old demon of Montenegro decided to drain the little girl's strong yang energy and set fire to the place to destroy the body and eliminate all traces. After that, he would go back and practice hard for a year and a half, and wait until he needed the yang energy again. Go out and do some activities?
He didn't dare to eat people's souls and yang energy too frequently or blatantly. Otherwise, either the mortals would be frightened and dare not go back to their own realm, or it would attract other demon kings and heavenly beings to come. Retaliation would not be good for him.
It is no longer the time before the Lich War when the demon clan could eat people at will!
As long as he, the old Montenegro monster, doesn't go too far, as long as he doesn't get caught or make too much noise, he can always continue to live in this Montenegro territory. Just like those who had their souls and yang energy absorbed by him just now, who knows whether they were destroyed by the hands of his old Black Mountain demon, or by those human horse thieves and bandits who killed people and stole goods?
"..."
very nice!
After the old demon of Montenegro looked at the little girl carefully for a while, he discovered that the other person's yang energy was extremely strong. As long as he absorbed all of her, he would be able to absorb at least as much as several adult men and women.
She is really a talented little girl, but it is a pity that she will soon become his old Montenegro monster’s collection! Maybe, he can generously keep the other party's soul and then refine it into a maid?
"hiss!!"
After making a decision in his heart, the old demon of Montenegro took a deep breath towards the little girl...
However,
When the old demon of Montenegro started to cast a spell at a distance of about a ruler above the opponent's head and sucked it up with force, he was shocked to find that he had not absorbed anything this time?
The little girl was still sleeping soundly and soundly, but he didn't get a single bit of the other person's soul or the other person's strong yang energy? !
"..."
Could it be that my posture when I just absorbed it was not right?
After the old demon from Montenegro stood up straight and thought about it seriously, he felt that this was very likely to be the case! Otherwise, how could the little girl in front of him, who was full of yang energy and must be a great tonic for him, not have any reaction to the soul-absorbing talent of the old Black Mountain demon?
Over the years, he has relied on the yang energy of living people or living monsters. That kind of thing is as essential as food to him, and he has become proficient in the method of absorbing yang energy. Yes, eight thousand, if not ten thousand, died in his mouth. This failure must be just an accident!
Well……
This little girl is sleeping on her side while holding her stuffed bear. Maybe it’s really the wrong posture?
After thinking about it, the old demon from Montenegro was puzzled, so he slowly walked to the other side of the haystack so that he could clearly see this little girl with blond hair and fair skin from the foreign country. That delicate face.
The face with a bit of baby fat looks chubby, so attractive...
The old demon from Montenegro almost couldn't help but wanted to go up to him and eat him alive, trying to taste this extremely rare blood food!
Over the years, although he, the old demon from Montenegro, has absorbed a lot of souls, yang energy and flesh and blood from people from foreign countries like the West, and his personal taste is no different from that of people from the Central Plains, but as delicate and tender as this little girl in front of him, , it was really the first time he saw it in the caravan!
Sure enough, there is a reason why some evil dragons and mandrills like to eat boys and girls!
The souls and bodies of these children are extremely pure, which is much better than those adults whose bodies and souls are extremely turbid.
So he decided that later, after absorbing the other person's Yang Qi and soul, he would also pack up the physical body and take it home to cook and eat, so as to taste the wonderful taste of the other person's fine skin and tender flesh?
"hiss!!!"
This time the old demon of Montenegro walked to the side where the little girl's face was facing, and then took a deep breath again!
Unfortunately……
This time, although he was very serious and worked hard, but...he still couldn't absorb a single bit of the little girl's soul or yang energy!
What happened today is really weird!
The old demon of Montenegro was puzzled. This wonderful delicacy was placed in front of him, and the other party did not resist, let alone use any spells or amulets to protect it. Why couldn't he absorb the soul-absorbing technique?
What exactly went wrong in this? !
(…)
(Report to the little master! I discovered that the ugly black-robed lich wants to suck your life force! I suggest you set a fire to burn it!!
(´㉨`)ノ
——After the monster that was similar to a lich tried twice, Tibbers finally understood what the other party wanted to do! That's just a trick used by those lichs or death knights - life draining! Does the other party want to use magic to absorb the vitality and soul of living creatures in order to replenish the energy that the other party consumes daily? )
'People have discovered it a long time ago, but now let's play with it for a while! '
(*^▽^*)
'Anyway, it's just idle time. Let's see what he wants to do? '
٩(๑❛︶❛๑)۶
(…)
(๑¯㉨¯๑)
(Sure enough, Tibbs knew this bad little master would be like this.)
"..."
What happened today is really strange...
Why couldn't I successfully absorb the other person's soul and yang energy twice? Could it be that there was really something wrong with his magic?
do not care!
It seems that we still need to try the fat pig over there and test it on the other side first to see what is the problem!
In short, he didn't dare to believe that there was something wrong with his own magic. It was a small magical power that he was good at. When he just absorbed the caravan merchants and guards, he didn't see any accidents.
How could something like being unable to absorb the soul and yang energy of a mortal happen to me, the Black Mountain ancestor?
So, he decided to try it first...
If he can successfully absorb the soul and yang energy of the fat pig demon, it will prove that there is nothing wrong with the magic of the old Black Mountain demon. And then, it will be proved that there is something special in that little girl?
The old Black Mountain demon tiptoed to the haystack here and stood next to the heads of the pig demon and the river demon who were sleeping on the withered grass.
snort!
Don’t think that Ancestor doesn’t know that you are pretending to sleep, but today, it’s your time for both of you. If you bump into Ancestor’s hands, don’t blame Ancestor for being ruthless!
"..."
After making up his mind, the old demon from Montenegro once again approached the pig's head that exuded the rancid smell and took a deep breath!
"hiss!!!"
However, just as the old Black Mountain demon's head was lowered, the pig demon actually murmured in his sleep, slept on the side of the river demon, buried the pig's head in the river demon's arms, and pressed hard with both hands. He hugged each other's arms.
"..."
Well, you know what’s going on! Then ancestor, let’s suck this river demon!
Seeing the little movements of the pig demon and the river demon's instantly tense body and the ax weapon that he was clutching tightly, the old demon from Montenegro smiled with some disdain.
He knew that the other party was pretending to sleep, but he thought highly of himself and did not pay attention to the other party's pretense! And since this pig demon is so sensible now and helps him restrain the river demon, so that he can absorb the yang energy and soul of this somewhat powerful river demon without fighting, that would be very good. !
Of course, even if a fight breaks out later, the Black Mountain Ancestor, who has been practicing for countless years, may not be afraid of these two little demon kings! !
Finally, the old demon from Montenegro took a deep breath for the fourth time!
"hiss!!!"
However, just when the old Black Mountain demon opened his mouth wide and leaned down to absorb it, the bald river demon suddenly opened his eyes!
"Nonsence!!"
A mouthful of phlegm!
Oh, no! It should have been a golden Buddha bead, which Sha Wujing accurately spat into the open mouth of the old Black Mountain demon!
The next moment, the golden Buddha light lit up...
“Oooohhhh!!!”
The pure yang Buddha beads emitting golden light were like hot red metal. After encountering the pure yin ghost body of the Black Mountain Old Demon, they violently stimulated its most powerful Buddha light, causing the Black Mountain Old Demon to burst out from his mouth. The light that reaches the sky and the thick smoke when it is corroded!
Of course, the other party's heart-rending screams are definitely indispensable!
"Hmph! Old demon from Black Mountain, you still want to suck the soul of my junior brother Sha Wujing. How about that? Do you regret it?"
"The Buddhist beads that have been blessed and consecrated by the reincarnation of the golden cicada, my old pig's master, and have been recited for ten lifetimes, are delicious. Do you want another one?"
After seeing that the two brothers' plan was working, Zhu Bajie jumped up immediately, holding his weapon, the nine-tooth rake, tightly with both hands, and with his fat belly, he opened his big mouth and looked into the distance teasingly. The old Black Mountain demon who was wailing and rolling began to laugh and ridicule.
Originally, they could keep their distance. If the other party likes to suck people's souls and yang energy, then just suck it in. Even if they attack the little girl in front of them, they can treat it as invisible!
However, the other party should never, absolutely should not have his thoughts on these two senior brothers!
Look, have you fallen into their trap now?
Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because of your high cultivation level. Do you really think that Zhu Gangxi, the former Tianpeng Marshal and the Third Junior Brother's Rolling Curtain General, was given his title in vain? Although their mana and cultivation are far from recovered after reincarnation and rebuilding, but using a little trick to deal with such a solo demon king is as simple as playing?
"Second senior brother!"
"Don't talk nonsense with him, come on, let's kill the old monster now!!"
Sha Wujing, who had just almost had his soul, mana and yang energy sucked out by the other party, immediately picked up his ax weapon, the demon-suppressing staff, and took the lead towards the old Heishan who was still wailing and struggling in the distance, and was planning to spit out the Buddha. The demon rushed over!
Sha Wujing took note of what happened when the second senior brother hugged his body just now, making it impossible for him to struggle to avoid it, and he would definitely settle the score with him in the future!
"makes sense!"
"Even if our senior brother, the monkey who can't control his red butt, is dead, we can still kill demons and eliminate harm for the people!!"
Zhu Bajie also followed behind his third junior brother, Monk Sha, shouting the slogan of subduing demons and eliminating harm for the people, and slammed at the enemy with his nine-tooth rake! !
However, it seems that they have all forgotten now: they were the ones who just watched the old monster from Montenegro harm the lives of a group of businessmen and remained indifferent! Until now, it is obvious that there is not much confidence in the behavior of resisting until the other party wants to absorb their own soul and yang energy.
Bang! !
Clang! ! !
After the collision of two weapons sounded, both Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha were shocked to find that this old Black Mountain monster actually used the opponent's pair of pale and ferocious bone claws to catch their rake and Zen staff with his bare hands?
At the same time, the ferocious white face of the old Black Mountain demon raised its head and stared at them with its bloody, cruel and red eyes! At this time, smoke was still coming out of the mouth of the old Black Mountain demon, and even its shape was somewhat deformed!
After slowly spitting out an ordinary Buddha bead without any Buddha nature, the old demon said:
"Ehhhhhhh!!"
The old monster from Montenegro wants to say: I can’t spare you!
However, his throat and mouth were severely corroded by the Buddha's light, and now he can't even speak clearly! It was obvious that the power of the prayer bead that the other party just spat into his mouth was definitely not bad! In other words, he is the old monster from Montenegro. If he had been a ghost cultivator, he would probably be gone by now!
"Oooh!"
Seeing that the opponent could catch their weapons with his bare hands, Zhu Bajie knew that the power of a Buddhist bead seemed to be just a little bit behind?
That Buddhist bead, after their master Tang Sanzang conquered Sha Wujing, he selected and re-strung it from the nine strings of Buddhist beads he had left in the Liusha River in his previous lives. It was said that it had been blessed by ten lives. It’s no exaggeration!
However, even if such a good thing is stuffed into your mouth, it can't destroy this old monster from Montenegro?
puff! puff! !
There were two sounds of flesh being kicked away. The old Black Mountain demon kicked the pig demon and the river demon away. The huge force forced the other party to let go of their weapons and flew backwards screaming!
Bang! Bang! !
Soon, the two of them rolled down onto the Gobi Desert that was full of sand, sand and rocks, and their heads and faces were covered with small bleeding wounds.
"Junior Brother Sha, do you still have Buddhist beads?"
Although Zhu Bajie himself can change the thirty-six kinds of Tiangang numbers, he also has quite a few magic powers to subjugate demons!
However, he has not practiced for a long time after his reincarnation, and even though he is not as strong as the opponent in terms of cultivation, he also knows that that kind of method is definitely not effective against this old demon! What's more, now both of them are using their bare hands, and even their weapons have been taken away by the other party!
No wonder, no wonder their master committed suicide so neatly after seeing Brother Monkey 'killed' in battle. He and Junior Brother Sha would definitely not be able to escort him to the West.
"Of course, there are many more! But can you put more stuff in his mouth?"
There was a long string of Buddhist beads, but Sha Wujing didn't think they would have the chance to stuff that kind of thing into each other's mouths again!
The old Black Mountain demon in the distance must have some real abilities if he can occupy such a large territory by himself in the Black Wind Ridge in the Western Region where a group of demons are dancing.
"..."
Bang! Boom! !
The old Black Mountain demon first threw the enemy's weapon far away into the stable, and then continued to use his scarlet eyes to stare at the two empty-handed pigs in the distance who were urgently discussing countermeasures. Demons and river demons!
His Black Mountain Ancestor suffered a great loss today, and his ghost body suffered a lot of trauma, so he had to use the souls, mana, yang energy and inner elixir of the two little demon kings in the distance to make up for it.
"not good!"
"Second Senior Brother, he is rushing over, what should we do?!"
Sha Wujing felt that the territory here in Heifeng Ridge had been besieged by the opponent's magical powers, and they could not escape whether they ran away, hid on the ground, or flew into the sky.
If they had known this would be the case, they wouldn't have followed to join in the fun!
Well, now, for those cassocks and Zen staffs, I have to risk my own life! Their master and senior brother can be reincarnated after death, but if they die in the hands of the old monster from Black Mountain, they will really be doomed!
"You, you... don't come here!!"
"This matter today has nothing to do with us. It was all instigated by that little girl. She is also pretending to be asleep!!"
Suddenly, after seeing the old Black Mountain demon approaching his brothers step by step, Zhu Wuneng suddenly realized that there was no hope of escape, and then suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the haystack in the distance!
That’s right!
He now remembered that in the beginning, it was the little girl who suddenly appeared and made a scene that attracted the attention of the old demon from Montenegro! And since the other party has not had his soul and yang energy absorbed by the old Black Mountain demon just now, he must be somewhat capable, right?
Now, dragging the opponent into the water, three-on-one becomes their only way to survive!
"!!"
really!
After hearing what the pig demon said, the old demon from Montenegro finally realized what the problem was and immediately turned his head to look at the haystack.
"..."
(ー`´ー)
"I didn't instigate it. I don't even know those two monsters!!"
(╯>д<)╯
"Uh-huh!!"
It's a pity, how can the old demon from Montenegro believe it?
The three of them were clearly lying together just now, and he really couldn't absorb the little girl's yang soul, so he naturally believed that the little girl was indeed the greatest threat, so he gave up the pig demon and the river demon. He was the first to wave his bone-white claws and flew towards the little girl!
"Junior Brother Sha, run quickly!!"
"Ah! Oh! Yes, run!!!"
Realizing that they had successfully found an unknown guy to take the blame, Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha ran away almost as soon as the Black Mountain old demon turned to chase the little girl!
As long as the little girl can hold on for a while and let them successfully escape from the Black Wind Ridge, then they will be safe! As for their two weapons and the dead ghost master's treasure, it would be the same if they waited until daybreak to get them! If the other party dares to leave the cave when there is sunlight, they will definitely not be afraid of that old demon!
"!!"
"Hmph! Don't even think about running away!!"
flame……
☄☄o(▼ヘ▼#)o ☄☄
After discovering that there was nothing interesting here, but that she was inexplicably tricked by two interesting monsters, Annie decided: burn the lich first, and then capture the two hateful monsters!
As for how to deal with the other party...
She decided, should she wait until she went back to say goodbye to the hot sister Zixia?
