Fu Modu, Sanqian Bookstore.
Zhang Xuzhi, who was sitting leisurely behind the counter, held a cup of steaming hot tea in his hand and looked at the storybook in his hand with a contented expression.
Just when he was excited to watch, took a sip of hot tea, put down the tea cup and was about to turn a page, there was a faint burning sensation in his arms hidden in his sleeves.
Zhang Xuzhi's eyes flashed slightly, but his brows remained calm. He steadily placed the hot tea in his hand on the counter, and then continued to turn to the next page.
But only he himself knew clearly the excitement in his heart at this moment.
Outside Fumodu.
Almost at the same time, people in the Eastern Continent who were far away in the Western Continent felt a vague burning sensation in their arms.
At this moment, all the monks from the Eastern Continent raised their eyes and looked in the direction of the rising sun.
The return journey has begun.
Fu Modu.
The Demon-Conquering Tower.
The person responsible for guarding the Demon-Conquering Tower is a magical beast named Wen Fang. It has the blood of the divine beast Listening and can listen in all directions. All movements inside and outside the Demon-Conquering Tower cannot escape the ears and eyes of this Wen Fang beast.
Moreover, this Wen Fang beast itself has the cultivation level of a monk at the Nascent Soul stage, which is enough to guard the gate of the Demon-Conquering Tower.
However, most of the Wen Fang beasts are in a state of deep sleep. After all, the lifespan of Warcraft is long and the improvement of realm is slow. Most Warcraft like to rely on sleep to improve their cultivation.
Especially in a place like the Demon-Conquering Tower that is destined to be less lively.
Sleeping is the daily routine of this Wen Fang beast.
It is naturally impossible to take care of the Demon-Conquering Tower with just one magical beast. There are countless prisoners, and there are also jailers among them. They are all demons who have made a life-and-death oath, and most of them have no talent for cultivation. .
Why?
Naturally, once these jailers can practice, there will be greater variables. It is good that the prisoners in the Demon-Conquering Tower are all prisoners, but the fact that these prisoners can be detained in the Demon-Conquering Tower also illustrates a problem, that is, they Not simple.
Even though they have made an oath of life and death, there are still countless jailers who are bewitched. Because they are bewitched, the jailers of the Demon-Conquering Tower are often in short supply. The most common way for the jailers of the Demon-Conquering Tower to die is to violate the oath of life and death, like fireworks. Just as explosive.
On rare occasions, some imprisoned demons have some strange methods that can allow the jailer to be pulled away without anyone noticing, without triggering the oath of life and death. At this time, the jailer with cultivation and the jailer without cultivation can The impact that jailers can have can be said to be completely different.
Above the jailers, there are also wardens. These wardens are demons with good cultivation. In addition to the oath of life and death, they will also be controlled by the Yin family through other means, and they never Direct contact with the criminals imprisoned in the Demon-Conquering Tower.
Only directly manage these jailers.
There is often a shortage of guards in the Demon-Conquering Tower, but there are always only a few wardens.
The oldest among them, and also the most senior among the wardens of the Demon-Conquering Tower, is a demon cultivator who is respectfully called Mr. Yao by the wardens, and his cultivation is comparable to that of Golden Elixir Dzogchen.
As the warden, Yao Lao lives in the Demon-Conquering Tower for food, accommodation and training. Only occasionally when it is his turn to rest, will he leave the Demon-Conquering Tower and live in the courtyard he bought in the Demon-Conquering City.
Today is the time for Mr. Yao to take over the shift.
The person who came to take over was the most junior warden of the Demon-Conquering Tower, and his cultivation level was also the lowest. He was only at the early stage of the Golden Core, but he was a demonic cultivator that all the wardens, including the warden, did not dare to look down upon.
There is no other reason, just because the warden’s surname is Yin.
The Yin family, the lord of Fumo City and the co-lord of the demon clan.
Yao Lao, who was dressed in a black robe, had a broad face and a square forehead. He walked like a dragon and a tiger with a windy step, and he had a rather vigorous and resolute attitude.
Seeing the young man opposite, richly dressed and covered in gold and silver, the pace of the stoic old Yao stagnated slightly, his cold and hard face showed a trace of softness with difficulty, and he nodded lightly, with a vague look in his eyes. None fell behind the young man.
Facing Mr. Yao's nod, the young man only raised his chin arrogantly, looked at the dim light of the Demon-Conquering Tower and the wall reliefs engraved with various ferocious monsters and tortures with disgust, and nodded perfunctorily. I lowered my head and said hello.
"Master Yin, who is this?"
When Yao Lao saw the young man, he wanted to leave directly, but instead he looked at the unfamiliar face behind the young man and asked warily.
The young man known as Mr. Yin frowned and waved casually, "My new follower, the original one was too boring, and I didn't have any eyesight, so I changed it to another one."
Yes, Mr. Yin would bring his entourage to serve him every time he came to the Demon-Conquering Tower. Mr. Yao was already used to it, but this time it was a new face, so he asked one more question.
Young Master Yin is different from the other wardens. He belongs to the Yin clan. He has only sworn a life and death oath and has never been controlled by other means. Therefore, in the Demon-Conquering Tower, he has more actions than the other wardens. Somewhat wanton.
Mr. Yao frowned, and before he could ask any more questions, Mr. Yin had already led people into the Demon-Conquering Tower.
Yao Lao was left standing there.
Until Mr. Yin and his entourage disappeared from the spot, Mr. Yao took out a glowing hair from his hand, activated his magic power, and ignited the hair.
When the hair burned out, a loud voice sounded in Yao Lao's heart.
"Who dares to disturb my sleep?"
The sound was like thunder, shaking Old Yao's body slightly.
"Master Wen Fang is an old man."
Even though there was nothing around him, Mr. Yao still bowed respectfully.
"It's you, Yao boy." Mr. Yao has lived for hundreds of years, but in front of Wen Fang Beast, he is just a little baby. "Tell me, wake me up. What's the matter?"
"I dare you, Lord Wenfang, to listen to the thoughts of the two demons who just entered."
The Wen Fang Beast can listen in all directions and monitor everything in the Demon-Conquering Tower, but not everyone will listen deliberately. After all, if everyone listened, it would be too noisy.
Even if you have the ears to hear the beast, you will not be able to bear it.
I don’t even have that much energy to distinguish them one by one.
There are many sounds, and Wen Fang Beast will only extract some key sounds, such as some special prisoners and some special words.
Hearing Yao Lao's request, Wen Fang Beast did not refuse. In this Demon-Conquering Tower, there were not many demons familiar with Wen Fang Beast, and Yao Lao was the only one.
Yao Lao felt quiet for a moment, but he understood that the Wen Fang Beast had begun to listen.
After a while.
"Nothing, that little kid is thinking about the prisoners who need to be cleaned up, and wants to exchange them for magic crystals."
"As for that follower, it's true that he's not a real follower. He made a deal with that little doll to pick out the goods."
After hearing Fang Beast finish speaking, he became quiet again.
This time, it was Wen Fang Beast who fell into hibernation again.
Yao Lao breathed a sigh of relief and looked more relaxed. Many prisoners were imprisoned in the Demon-Conquering Tower, so many times, there would be some worthless prisoners, and then these worthless prisoners would be cleared away.
The so-called cleaning up means killing.
But Mr. Yao knew that many wardens would cooperate with some forces and sell some worthless prisoners who should be killed to these forces to earn a fortune in magic crystals.
This is not considered releasing prisoners privately. If there are prisoners who cannot be released, they will not even have a chance to be cleared.
What can be cleaned up is the existence that is no longer dispensable.
This kind of thing happens all the time in the Demon-Conquering Tower, and Mr. Yao turns a blind eye to it.
Today, the same is true.
