Taking a deep breath, Li Ye spit out one word: "Yes!"
All of a sudden.
A mysterious sacrificial inscription was uploaded from Demon Daoguo to Li Ye's heart.
Exactly the same as in the game.
Raising demons requires demon ritual sacrifices and some special sacrifices.
"A bowl of three-god water, two ounces of rooster's blood, and three sticks of high sandalwood can be sacrificed at midnight to complete the demonic ritual, enchant Zhiqiang and turn him into the demon Zhu Bajie."
Li Ye pondered.
Looking at Zhiqiang who was still sleeping, Li Ye added two buckets of pig food, locked the door of the pig pen, got up and hurriedly prepared the sacrificial supplies.
Passing by the pig yard.
It's still early.
Huang An and several old pig farmers are giving training to the new pig farmers.
He only mentioned a few words about his experience in raising pigs, and more of them instilled the idea of "loyalty to the Su family".
"In life, I am the slave of the Su family, and in death, I am the soul of the Su family. I will not betray you in life or death."
"I am a brick of the Su family. I can move it wherever it is needed."
"I am a nail in the Su family. I will be there wherever you need me."
Jaune shouted, raising his fists.
In the yard, a group of pigherders responded loudly, creating a lively atmosphere.
Li Ye was satisfied and nodded slightly.
As the pig herdsman of Jiazi No. 1 of the Su Family Pig Farm, Li Ye has always been focused on both thinking and business.
Never slack off.
Always be on high alert for spies and enemy spies.
Because although the Su family is strong, it is not without enemies.
Li Ye, Huang An, and the pigherders under him are just mortals with ordinary blood, and do not have the blood of demon slayers.
In this dangerous world where life is like grass and grass, body is like duckweed.
The only thing we can rely on is the big tree of the Su family.
Just like he hated going to work in the company in his previous life, but hoped that the company would not close down, Li Ye naturally hopes that the Su family will become stronger and stronger.
Don't be destroyed by the enemy.
"Dangdangdang..."
The loud bell rang, and it was time for lunch.
The newly hired pigherders cheered and rushed to the cafeteria. Huang An and several old pigherders also walked briskly and had smiles on their faces.
Although everyone sold themselves into slavery and became swineherds, they still had an iron rice bowl that many people could not envy.
Work as a slave in the Su family, with food and lodging included, and monthly payments.
This is even more valuable in Taiping Town after the disaster.
Li Ye did not go to the canteen. After changing into a coarse linen shirt, he quietly left the Su Mansion through the back door.
It was June.
The weather is not very hot.
The sun is passing away, and the blood moon is approaching. Looking up, the sun appears small and distant in the blue sky, and its light is not so dazzling.
Li Ye raised his head and looked at the sun for a long time before his eyes felt slightly sore.
The sun's rays were weak again.
"Maybe one day, the sun will disappear completely. By then, long-term darkness will cover the entire land. Is there still a way for this world to survive?"
Li Ye didn't know.
The most important thing now is to enchant Zhiqiang.
Raise it into the devil pig Bajie.
Zhu Bajie also has a name called Zhu Ganghye.
That's not a good idea.
On the contrary, he is a very fierce and fierce guy.
After figuring out the direction, Li Ye went to East Street to buy things needed for the devil's sacrifice.
Under the governance of the Su family, Taiping Town has been expanded several times, with continuous buildings and a permanent population of more than 100,000. Today, after the catastrophe, it looks like a large ancient city.
On the streets extending in all directions, the markets are bustling and there are many people.
It looks like a prosperous and peaceful time.
However.
Most of the people coming and going are disheveled and thin.
There are obviously more homeless people and beggars on the street corners and alleys, and they are forming groups.
Some old people in ragged clothes were lying in a bridge hole full of garbage. They had been dead for an unknown period of time. Flies and maggots were squirming, and the smell of corpses was pungent.
Several government officials were carrying the corpse and cursing.
There was a long queue at the entrance of the grain store, but the owner hung up a sign saying "Sold out today" and there was a lot of pushing and cursing.
The foyer of the teahouse restaurant is wide open, but it is clearly meal time, but there are only a few diners. On the menu hanging at the door, a plate of cucumbers costs one tael of silver, and a bowl of rice costs three taels of silver.
Prices have soared and food is in short supply.
In Taiping Town, chaos begins to emerge.
Li Ye watched with cold eyes, the world was in chaos and he was unable to change anything.
"Liu Ji Xiang Paper Shop"
When Li Ye came, he was surprised to find that the place was bustling with people and business was booming.
Boss Liu, who is wearing a green mandarin jacket, is selling paper figures and horses to several customers.
Seeing that another deal was made, Boss Liu said condolences and sent away the guest with a sad look on his face. When he turned around, he was beaming with joy. He was holding an abacus and counting the days. After making a lot of money, he suddenly saw someone sitting on the chair in the corner, and his smile froze.
"Guard Li?..."
"Yo yo yo, a distinguished guest is here, look at the look in my eyes, I really deserve a beating, I deserve a beating!"
Boss Liu nodded and bowed to greet him, lightly slapping his face with his palm, looking like he was apologizing, but looking at Li Ye with bright eyes like a fat sheep.
A few months ago, Li Ye bought Lao Wang's funeral paper goods from him, including a lot of paper people, horses, and wives.
There was even a specially made paper pig.
He actually made a lot of money.
Seeing Li Ye come to the door again now, I couldn't help but secretly guess whether someone had died in Li Ye's family again.
Li Ye was one of the shepherds of the Su family's pig farm. He had money, bought a big house, and married many beauties. Could it be that the beauties in the family died?
Li Ye coughed lightly and took out a list.
"Five of each."
Boss Liu took a look and wondered what Li Ye wanted. He said with a troubled expression, "Everything is lacking now. These..."
"money is not a problem!"
Boss Liu immediately said with joy: "Wait a moment, Mr. Li, the store has basically everything you want. It's just that the rooster's blood can't be picked up until tomorrow."
Seeing Li Ye frowning, he hurriedly explained that rooster blood is special, and the blood needs to be killed at the moment when the rooster crows in Yinshi to be the real rooster blood.
"There may be people selling rooster blood outside, but they are all deceiving people, and some of them are hen blood." Boss Liu said with a sincere expression.
Li Ye nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pick up the rooster's blood tomorrow. You prepare the other things first and I'll take them away today."
While the two were talking, several groups of customers came to the door, buying paper money for incense and candles, or urging customized paper goods. When the guests left, Li Ye asked curiously:
"Are there many deaths recently?"
Boss Liu looked outside the store for a moment, then leaned closer and whispered: "There are not only a lot of them, they are like films and films."
"Do you know Sanli Alley? All the people who went there died last night. They died in strange ways. They were all covered with maggots, as if they had been dead for ten days and a half. But they were still alive and well yesterday afternoon."
"There is also Zhao Xiucai's family. All eight members of the family are dead. The corpses were sewn into a big windmill and hung on the gate. It scared me to death. By the way, Zhao Xiucai still owes me ten taels of silver. He doesn't deserve to die. !”
"At Widow He's house, that slutty bitch rejected me many times and let a dog bite me. Something happened last night too. It's a pity that she has such a good figure..."
Boss Liu was talking non-stop, counting his fingers and estimating that at least hundreds of people were in trouble last night, but all of them died in a miserable, strange and terrifying way.
Li Ye was frightened when he heard this.
He has been busy with matters in the pig yard these past few days and has not gone out. He did not expect so many things to happen outside.
Boss Liu said: "The people in the yamen said it was enemies taking revenge and fighting in the rivers and lakes, but everyone said it was something from outside the city that came in..."
At this point, Boss Liu's face became frightened, and he turned to ask Li Ye about the situation of the Su family.
Taiping Town is the territory of the Su family. Li Ye works in the Su family and may know some inside stories that outsiders don't know.
However, Li Ye shook his head and said that he knew nothing.
Even if he knew it, he wouldn't talk nonsense.
Boss Liu is nicknamed Liu Big Mouth because he can't hide his words.
After paying the money and carrying the demon sacrificial supplies prepared by Boss Liu, Li Ye hurried to Taoli Lane.
He wanted to go home and see.
The house he bought was on Taoli Lane.
There are eighteen beauties in the house, which can barely be considered a family.
Taoli Lane and Sanli Lane are only separated by one street. When Li Ye passed by, he found that Sanli Lane was under martial law.
Many officials in black flying fish uniforms were busy.
But Li Ye knew that they were not ordinary official servants.
But it is the Feiyu Guards who belong to the Demon Slayer Department.
Once loyal to the Wei Dynasty, now that the dynasty is corrupt and local governments are divided, the Demon Slayer Division has become a sharp weapon for the Demon Slayer Su family.
The Feiyu guards were all tall and tall, with sharp eyes and swords slung at their waists.
"Sir, I'm sure it's probably something from outside the city that sneaked in."
"Report it to the Su family!"
"All bodies will be burned and disposed of."
Feiyuwei commented with a solemn look on his face.
They carried out the corpses one after another from the houses in Sanli Lane, piled them on the firewood pile, and cremated them on the spot. The thick smoke billowed and the pungent smell made the people around them cough.
However, the Feiyu Guards remained motionless, holding the hilt of the knife in their hands and looking at the fire with vigilant eyes. Only when the corpses were completely burned to ashes did they heave a sigh of relief, call it a day and leave.
"Eh? Mr. Li!"
He Chao, the captain of Feiyu Guard, passed by the crowd and saw Li Ye, stopped and said hello with a smile.
"Captain He!"
Li Ye came over.
He Chao liked to eat pig whips, and Li Ye liked him. When he took a concubine, he gave him hundreds of pig whips as gifts. The relationship between the two became closer and they kept in touch with each other on a daily basis.
"I heard something happened, I'll go home and take a look!" Li Ye said, and asked about Sanli Alley.
He Chaosheng, who was rugged and dark-skinned, was as tall as a man from the northwest. He hesitated and said, "This matter is confidential. You'd better not know about it."
His eyes were a little dark, his face was slightly blue, he was not in a good condition, and he was in a trance when he spoke.
Li Ye nodded to express his understanding, changed the topic and said that they would drink together another day, and asked him to pay more attention to rest, so as not to be exhausted after marrying a beautiful concubine.
He Chao chuckled and said that he would marry another in a few days.
The two exchanged pleasantries. Before He Chao left, Li Ye reached out and took out a pig whip and quickly stuffed it into He Chao's sleeve.
Affected by the blood moon, black pigs are not the same as pigs on Earth. Castration not only removes eggs, but also requires whipping.
Otherwise, it will regenerate, which is weird.
He Chao squeezed two handfuls and found that the whip was huge and of high quality. His eyes lit up and he glanced at Taoli Lane, which was only one street away from Sanli Lane.
That's where Li Ye's family home is.
He whispered: "Don't go home at night, and don't go out after dark."
After that, Li Ye left in a hurry without waiting for further questioning.
Li Ye looked at He Chao's back and smacked the hint of this sentence.
Then he looked at the dead silence of Sanli Alley, and there was not a single person there.
The wind blew through the alley and the windows rattled.
The lantern under the eaves swayed from side to side, and a white stuffed doll was rolled around on the ground by the wind. It was unknown whose child's toy it was.
The doll's face was stained with blood, and it looked hideous. It looked at Li Ye with a half-smile, and let out a weird laugh:
"Little brother, come and play, yum yum yum..."
Li Ye felt dazzled.
Rub your eyes and look again.
But he found that the streets were deserted. There were no puppets anywhere. There was only a wild dog that sprang out from Sanli Alley. However, he was excitedly blocked in the corner by a few skinny homeless people, skinned it, and soon turned into a Roast dog meat on the fire rack.
Then look back to the side.
The crowd around him had already dispersed, and he was the only one standing outside Sanli Alley.
Deadly silent and cold.
Eerie and suffocating.
Invisible Yin Qi was surging, and the surrounding areas became dim, as if the sunlight had been swallowed up.
Li Ye suddenly shuddered and left in a hurry.
There was no one on the empty streets of Sanli Alley, but there was a faint sound of "ying ying ying" laughter, which was very strange and made people feel numb.
