Meng Tianyan and Ruan Yanhong left Liu Ergou's house and asked him to say goodbye to Liu's mother for the last time. The two of them were sitting at the door of a small shabby inn, smelling the fragrance of roses under the moonlight, chatting.
Ruan Yanhong said: "You are such a hard-hearted person, why did you help him this time? It's not like your style!"
Meng Tianyan said: "I have other plans."
Ruan Yanhong arched her eyebrows, reached out and patted her back, and said with a smile: "I knew you had bad intentions, please tell me what exactly you want to do?"
Meng Tianyan said: "Earlier, I saw two white figures standing on the wall of Liu Ergou's house and whispering. Although I don't know what they want to do, I feel that they have a very evil spirit. I feel It was a bit weird, so I took action to inject the devil's breath into Mother Liu's body, hoping to use the power of her remaining soul to find out the truth behind the scenes!"
Ruan Yanhong's pupils shrank and she said in shock: "Monster Qi? Do you suspect that this matter is related to the demon clan?"
Meng Tianyan nodded and said: "Yes, I think those monsters are here to inject new souls into Mother Liu's body. They want Mother Liu to be the reincarnation container of that soul. Maybe it's because they sensed the devil's breath in me. , so he ran away in a hurry."
"Hasn't the demon clan been wiped out long ago? How could it be?" Ruan Yanhong expressed confusion.
The demon tribe had been causing trouble in the human world for many years, but then it began to disappear, and then the demon tribe began to rise, which made Ruan Yanhong mistakenly believe that there were no more demon tribes in the world.
Meng Tianyan said:
"The demon clan, like the demon clan, was originally very powerful. Ever since the King of Demons was suppressed on the demon-slaying platform, the demon clan began to slowly decline. The demon clan was banned and sealed in the Demon Valley by the Seven Heavenly Gods and could not come out. It’s a disaster for the world, so it’s rare to see traces of demon clan in the human world now.”
"Then the demon clan began to rise, especially during the reign of the Moon Worshiping Demon Lord, and almost controlled the entire human world. The demon clan is rare. In the past few years, the demon clan seems to have gradually begun to increase in number. I suspect it is The seven heavenly gods' restrictions that were sealed in the Demon Valley began to weaken."
Ruan Yanhong frowned and said: "One Moon Worshiping Demon Lord is not enough, why is there another King of Ten Thousand Demons? Who is the King of Ten Thousand Monsters?"
Meng Tianyan said: "It is said that the king of demons is named Naihetian, and his demon queen is named Yanli."
Ruan Yanhong said: "Isn't the Emperor of Ten Thousand Demons very powerful? How could he be suppressed on the Demon-Slaying Platform?"
Meng Tianyan shook his head and said, "Then I don't know..."
An hour later, a silver butterfly flew from Liu Ergou's home and landed on the white tea grass.
Meng Tianyan stood up, looked at the silver butterfly and said, "This silver butterfly is the soul of Mother Liu. It will lead us to find the mastermind behind the scenes."
Ruan Yanhong said worriedly: "Are we...going to find those two monsters?"
Meng Tianyan said: "Although they are demons, they are no different from demons. If they can be obedient demon cultivators and don't come out to harm others, I won't interfere with them. But they kill people wantonly and try to use corpses to We have to deal with cultivating deceitful ways to turn living people into zombies. The human race already has a suspicion against foreign races, how can we do such a cruel thing to make them hate them more?"
Ruan Yanhong said: "Although I am a human race, I also understand that the hatred of demons by humans is deep-rooted and indiscriminate. No matter how good you do, they will not change their views. What's more, you can do it alone. With all your strength, how much can you do in a lifetime?"
Meng Tianyan lowered his head and said calmly: "I am different from the demons. I was not born a demon. Like Master, I became a demon because of my heart. Before I became a demon, I was also a human."
There seemed to be a trace of loneliness and disappointment in her eyes, and Ruan Yanhong said: "So in these years, you, the Magic Clothes Sect, have been committed to not doing things that harm the human race. Do you want to build a world where the demon race and the human race live in peace?"
Meng Tianyan nodded and said: "This is my wish and also Master's wish."
Ruan Yanhong sneered and said: "Don't be stupid, talk about demons and humans, even if the humans themselves are born, there are good and evil. Our Wandu Sect is regarded as an evil heretic by the righteous people, so we are not wandering on the edge. Outsiders? Whether they are humans or demons, they are all the same, they can’t help themselves... What can we change? This deep-rooted prejudice that has been in place for thousands of years is beyond your control. "
Meng Tianyan reached out and gently stroked Ruan Yanhong's back to express comfort. Ruan Yanhong buried her head on her knees, like a cute little beast, and murmured: "Actually, I also want to be a good person, but the world doesn't allow it!"
When she was ten years old, there was war and chaos and she became an outcast. Just because she was a girl, her parents kept her younger brother but not her. What's the use of keeping a girl? In those days when there was not enough to eat, one more person meant one more person to fight for food.
Later, she was sold to the Land of Fireworks to be a maid next to her sister. At a young age, she learned how to get her way among the sensual men and women. Faced with the covetousness of the wolves, tigers and leopards, she had to carefully protect herself from being harmed. , and she couldn't offend the guests. She lived like a zombie in those years.
The fundamental reason is that she was unable to protect herself and live like a human being because of her cowardice. Later, she made up her mind to harden her heart and become a ruthless person. She wanted to protect herself and use cruel means to hurt others. Someone who was trying to hurt him.
So, she chose the most poisonous path and entered the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, which frightened everyone in the world. Starting from a young man, he became more hard-hearted and cruel than anyone else, and in the end... She poisoned her master with her own hands and successfully took the position of the Master of Ten Thousand Poisons.
And as long as one of the poison masters in the Ten Thousand Poison Sect has the ability to poison her, he is also qualified to inherit the position of the next leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect. This is the rule of their Ten Thousand Poison Sect.
Everyone has an unbearable past, which is always bloody when you peel it off. Therefore, most people prefer to make themselves hard-hearted and wrapped up seamlessly, so as to forget the fragility and unbearability of the past.
Silver butterflies swim in the dawn sky, and the distant sky presents a deep blue feeling, extending the night infinitely.
The silver butterfly left the bustling town and flew towards a remote wilderness. It flashed its silver wings, fluttering in the wind, and finally stopped and lingered outside a cave.
Ruan Yanhong said: "Is this here?"
Meng Tianyan raised his right hand, feeling the breath coming from the cave, and said: "There is a strong evil spirit inside, let's go in and take a look."
Although Ruan Yanhong was bold, she was still not a demon. Meng Tianyan lit the Huozhezi and protected her behind him, saying: "Your poison has no effect on the corpse evil, you follow me!"
Ruan Yanhong nodded and followed closely.
The silver butterfly flapped its wings and walked all the way into the cave. There were ghosts in the cave, and the reflection of a giant spider suddenly scurried over in the firelight.
The two of them stared in surprise and hurriedly looked towards the ghost figure. Suddenly, a flash of sword light struck, and the silver butterfly was struck down with a sword. One of the wings of the silver butterfly was cut off, and it fluttered on the ground for a few times before turning into a puff of white smoke and dissipating.
"Who?" Meng Tianyan exclaimed.
Immediately, the Huozhezi in her hand was chopped off by a sword. She was furious. She drew out the Demonic Sky Nine Heavy Sword and slashed at the opponent. She only felt that the opponent's sword was fierce and had an air of ice. Two of them The swords crossed in the darkness, creating a flash of lightning and flint.
The faint light illuminated each other's eyes. When the two saw each other, they couldn't help but be startled. Suddenly, they heard a scream of "Ah--" coming from behind them.
Lin Qianxue hurriedly sheathed her sword, turned around, and said: "Yueshan——"
However, there was no sound from Hanyue Mountain in the cave. Meng Tianyan picked up the Huozhezi that had fallen to the ground and blew it again.
The cave suddenly became much brighter, and they saw each other clearly, and then they said in unison in surprise: "Why is it you?!"
The silhouette of a giant spider was reflected in the cave. Lin Qianxue didn't want to think too much and said: "Chase--"
The three of them carried weapons and quickly chased the ghost of the giant spider.
Lin Qianxue said while running: "Yueshan and I attended the Flower Goddess's blessing ceremony before and heard a legend about a spider that transformed into a human. Out of curiosity, we went to the residence of Zhang Shilang. The residence was in dilapidated condition. There were no people around for a long time, but we accidentally ran into a puppet-faced spider. We followed it all the way, but we didn't expect to meet you in the cave."
Meng Tianyan said: "We have also heard a little bit about people turning into spiders. I heard that Zhang Shilang's wife drank someone else's holy water and finally turned into a spider. Could it be that the spider just now was transformed by the little lady named Ruhua? ?”
Lin Qianxue said: "We don't know, we have to chase him and have a look!"
Ruan Yanhong smiled and said: "Your little apprentice is so rare. How come he just escaped from the wolf's den and fell into the spider's cave again?"
Lin Qianxue said: "It's not like you made things happen. If not, we would have killed that puppet-faced spider long ago!"
Meng Tianyan said: "That is not an ordinary puppet-faced spider. I suspect that she was transformed by a corpse evil. It is not something that you humans can deal with."
Lin Qianxue said angrily: "Don't make it sound like you demons are great."
Meng Tianyan turned to look at her and said, "In terms of combat effectiveness, our demon race is slightly better than your human race. Didn't you lose to me before?"
Lin Qianxue said: "That was the backlash on me. Now you try again and see if I will lose to you!"
"What? Do you really want to fight me again?" Meng Tianyan turned around, stopped and looked at her.
Lin Qianxue had also pointed her sword at her, and their eyes were cold and stern, filled with inexplicable anger.
Ruan Yanhong, who was running quickly, did not stop the car for a moment and stood directly between the two of them. She was immediately shocked by the sharp gazes of the two. She felt that she was being treated as a living target. She took a step back with the corner of her mouth drawn out and looked at the two of them. people.
