After the last trace of red thread on the knife was sucked clean by the golem, the old shopkeeper stopped praying and walked out of the secret room to the middle of the yard.
He looked at the bright lights in the city lord's mansion in the distance, and thought to himself: "I don't know if Pobi Mo was sent to the human world by his master."
In the demon world, a thin red thread is wrapped around the fingertips of the Demon of Desire. One moment it looks like Qian Yunsheng, and the next it turns into the look of the Demon of Joy.
The Desire Demon thought for a moment, pulled out a few hairs, and pinched the red thread. A woman with flaming red lips was pinched out and lay at the Desire Demon's feet.
The desire demon looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction and said, "Go and keep an eye on him, and remember to get that scroll back at all costs."
Then he waved his hand to open the void and send the woman lying at his feet over.
As a result, as soon as the void was opened, a quiet firework popped out of the void and burned its sleeves.
The desire demon waved his hand awkwardly, closed the crack in the void that had just been opened, and extinguished the fireworks on his clothes.
He cursed loudly: "Die Miaoguang, thief Miaoguang, wait until one day I unify the demon world, see if I don't demolish your Miaoguang Palace!"
After venting his emotions and calming down a little, he glanced at the beautiful woman who was still lying on the ground and said: "You should step back first and go there in a sacrificial way. It will be safer this way and don't get caught by Miao Guang anymore." The way of a thief."
The beautiful woman got up, said with a spiritual blessing, "Yes", and then retreated gracefully.
...
In the city lord's palace,
After rejecting most of the people, Qian Yunsheng took over Mr. Zhang's words, pointed to the place marked on the map and said: "If I were a demon, I would only have two goals. One is to join the demon that came before. The other one is the Yin River water.”
"And these two goals are actually the same. Even if the two demons meet, their ultimate goal is still the water of the Yin River."
"So, the key to the matter still lies in the water of Yinhe River."
"Now the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. If we continue to fortify the wall and clear the field, we are likely to sit back and watch the monster become stronger. Because we no longer have enough manpower to block another monster, not to mention that this monster is stronger than the previous one. .”
"So we can only take advantage of the fact that this monster has just arrived in the world, has not yet joined the previous monster, cannot get more useful information, and is not familiar with our situation, so we can take action first and force him to show up."
"Only in this way can we catch the demon by surprise when it is at its weakest and we are at our strongest."
Qian Yunsheng finished these words in one breath and stopped to watch everyone's reactions.
The reason why he took the initiative to find Young Master Zhang just now and encouraged Young Master Zhang to say those words was to join the discussion.
Before, he was only valued by Mu Xueqing and Young Master Zhang, but strictly speaking, in the eyes of Jingci and the Lord of the City, he was just a "subordinate" of Mu Xueqing or Young Master Zhang.
Therefore, when he heard Jingci say that a strong wall clears the field, he knew that he had to stand up.
According to Jingci's method, maybe the demon can be eliminated in the end, but it will be very disadvantageous for Qian Yunsheng.
One is that after clearing the country, he was completely strangled when he sneaked out of the city. This was a situation he absolutely did not want to see.
Secondly, according to Jingci, the plan to encircle and suppress the demons has to be suspended, so he will have no chance of spawning the Netherworld Grass.
He was still waiting to return the spiritual stone to the old shopkeeper. If the construction of the underworld was suspended and he couldn't fill the hole, he didn't want the city lord's palace to really find out what he had bought.
After hearing this, the Lord City Lord was slightly moved. For him, the plan to strengthen the walls and clear the country was too costly, which he was not willing to do.
After all, the food rations for so many people in the city depend on the fields outside the city. If the farming season is wasted due to demonic incidents in the fields, it will not be a trivial matter to cause a food shortage in the city.
Although he can also bring food in from the outside like Linhai City, Jixia City is much larger than Linhai City. Linhai City can use this method, but Jixia City cannot.
Therefore, this is also the reason why he pretended to rebuke his son, but actually made him speak boldly.
Seeing Jixia City Lord looking at her, Jingci was not in a hurry to answer, but looked at Mu Xueqing.
This surprised Qian Yunsheng. He thought he was trying to convince Master Jingci, but he didn't expect that it would be Mu Xueqing who represented the Ashan Sect's will in the end.
This made him re-evaluate the order of several people in his mind.
...
In the cave, the demon was cracking open the skull of the last person it captured, squeezing out all the red and white stuff in the skull, and drawing its crooked lines.
Those fine and twisted lines finally came to an end, and with the final slight stroke, they turned into a complete pattern that recursed and connected at the beginning.
In the pattern, the objects it used as sacrifices stayed quietly on the altar. Under the altar, nine corpses were arranged in a circle around the altar with their heads close to their feet.
The demon checked it all with satisfaction, and after confirming that there was no problem, he piled all the spiritual stones in the storage bag under the altar, sat down cross-legged, and began to mutter something:
"Namo Bhagavat Emperor killed She Zulu, Xue Liuli Bo La Po drank La Jie, Tat Geda Ye..."
These spells awakened small sections of lines on the altar word by word, as if they were like a tunnel opening up time and space, connecting themselves with some mysterious existence in the void.
"Bang"
"Crack"
"Snapped"
...
After several slight noises in succession, the space tunnel on the altar in front of him finally stabilized. The demon was overjoyed.
It continued to murmur: "That dark and deep underground, that mountain stream that is ringing with constant thunder, that abyss that I can't even see when I focus my gaze, please answer my call...please give me guidance in my cry of sorrow." My direction..."
As the demon kept calling, the altar became more and more shaken, as if some great god was paying attention to this place.
After a while, a lazy, yawning voice came over, and the demon's expression changed. It turned out that it was not the voice of its true body.
Just when it was about to take action and quickly stopped the sacrifice to see what mistake it had made and why it failed to contact the main body,
Deep in the yawning tunnel, a smooth palm stretched out from the passage on the other side of the altar,
Just when his palm was about to be stretched out, just a few subtle breaths came through, and the demon felt the air around him tighten. Now let alone his body, he couldn't even move his eyes.
After the palm in the altar slowly stretched out to pinch the demon, I could only hear the voice in the altar laughing: "Your body has surrendered to me. You have only two choices, either surrender to me, or you can die."
The imprisoned demon was in a panic. He thought that the person he was contacting during the sacrifice was the true body, and wanted to get some help. Unexpectedly, even the true body surrendered to others.
Just when it was about to speak, the person on the other side seemed to detect its thoughts and said: "If you don't want to surrender to me, then die."
Then the extended palm gently sucked, and the demon's body seemed to have been emptied of souls. Everything was sucked in by the hand that stretched out the altar, and the rest of the turtle's skin continued to be soft like a sack. Like being thrown to the ground casually.
After the desire demon crushed the clone of Bavi demon to death, it seemed like he had done a trivial thing.
Then, his palms swept across the offerings on the altar, leaving a trace of his own breath on each offering.
After doing this, the hand retracted with satisfaction.
After a while, there was another movement on the other side of the altar.
A beautiful woman with red lips came over from the altar. She looked around, smiled with bright eyes and white teeth, and then closed the altar.
She picked up the demon's skin bag from the ground and put it on reluctantly.
Soon, an image that was exactly the same as the previous clone of Bavi Demon appeared in the cave.
She first frowned and drew out a water mirror, watching her beautiful face turn into a slightly kind middle-aged man, curling her lips, and then reluctantly accepted it.
Then I thought about it again, and instead of touching the sacrifices on the altar that had been left by the demon of desire, I erased some of the painted lines, burned two corpses, and prepared them again for sacrifice. It doesn't look like success yet,
She walked around the cave again, checked the traps, and finally felt a little more satisfied before starting to walk out of the cave.
