I came forward directly to tell my name, and the people blocking the way immediately knelt down and saluted, saying that they were waiting here under the order of the leader to take me home. I nodded and said, "Please lead the way." The convoy followed them into the woods ahead. The Demon Sect's headquarters was surrounded by a maze. If you wanted to enter, you had to pass through the maze.
Only their internal leaders and higher-ranking members know the formula.
The person who came to pick me up was the illiterate Huangfu, the leader of the Earth Altar. People in his demon sect are always modest in their names and would never boast.
Master Huangfu led us through the maze. After walking out of the woods, the first thing that caught our eyes were the blood-red trees.
They have nothing to do with beauty. Looking at them too much will make your eyes dazzled. I have decided that the first thing to do when starting the project is to cut down the trees.
High building spiers are exposed behind the mangroves. The architectural style is different from other places, a bit like modern European buildings.
The carriage team traveled into the mangroves, and another group of people appeared in front.
Their clothes are more elegant and look more "expensive" than the clothes worn by the illiterate Huangfu.
When the illiterate Huangfu saw them, he immediately stepped forward to salute them with a respectful attitude and lowered his head deeply. The status of the other party was obviously much higher than his.
I opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, walked up and greeted the group of people.
When I first come here, I can’t be too arrogant. Although I will offend many people in the future, I have to restrain myself when I first come here.
The demonic religion in this world is not the same as the demonic religion in martial arts.
The "demon" they have guarded for generations is not the target of their worship. Strictly speaking, they should be a "demon prisoner" sect.
Legend has it that within the territory of the Demon Cult, there is a secret place where the ancient demon is imprisoned. The Demon Cult was established to guard the imprisoned demon and prevent it from escaping.
Originally this was a good thing, but the Demonic Coach's magical skills were of the evil kind found in the world of martial arts. Some people suspected that while they were imprisoning demons in name, they had actually gained power from them.
He is using the evil power for his own use in the name of the prisoner demon.
There are more and more rumors that the people in the Demon Sect are not good people, and they do not have regular contact with the outside world. Over time, people in the world have taken them as their acquiescence.
Therefore, there are always people who covet the power of demons and want to break into the demon sect and get a piece of the pie.
Most of the people were blocked by the maze formation, and the few who were able to break through the formation were "persuaded" to retreat after "discussing" with the masters of the Demon Cult.
At that time, the Demonic Cult was still an existence that no one dared to offend. Later, those who had evil intentions gradually lost their courage.
No one will explore the truth about whether there are demons imprisoned in the demon sect.
In recent years, some people have become more active in their thinking. Fortunately, Ximen Wuhen is still in charge. They only dare to think about it but not to actually take action.
Since the Demon Cult exists to guard ancient demons, the positions within the organization are naturally created for this purpose.
Like the three altar masters of heaven, earth and man, they are actually responsible for adding oil.
There is a torch in each of the three altars, standing in the center of the courtyard. The flames inside are kept burning. When the oil is almost gone, they are responsible for adding oil inside.
There are also four pool owners. Each of their courtyards has a small pool. When the water level drops to a certain level, they have to fill it with water.
This work needs to be done every day, all year round, and it won’t be enough to stop even for one day.
In a nutshell, the work of their two departments is to add fuel and water.
There are also two clocks, and the clock master is responsible for looking at the two strange clocks. This clock looks like a Western clock, but there are no numbers or words on it, only complicated and difficult to understand symbols.
There are no pointers on it, just a disc that automatically rotates.
The last place that needs to be guarded 24 hours a day, all year round, is a circle. The owner of the circle is responsible for guarding a big ball. It does not revolve, but only rotates. It requires no external force and never stops.
These four departments are only for idlers, and no one is allowed to enter without the order of the leader.
People who are not in charge can come out, but people from other departments are definitely not allowed to go in at will.
Ximen Wuhen specially told me about the layout and rules of the Demon Sect, just because he was afraid that I would go to the wrong place and cause trouble that he couldn't deal with.
He repeatedly emphasized that apart from these four departments, I could enter and leave any place in the Demon Cult at will, including the leader's study, bedroom, meeting hall, bank room, and dungeon.
Go wherever you like and take whatever you like.
As for other departments within the teaching, I don’t have to worry about it. Whatever they are responsible for is entirely up to me.
Ximen Wuhen's indulgent attitude is very similar to Mo Yu's indulgence of his silly daughter, but I am not interested in killing people for fun, I am here to farm.
If you look at the small town outside the headquarters, you will know that the Demon Sect has become "poor" in recent years and the economy is in recession. Maybe my arrival can bring them new development ideas.
The person standing waiting for me to walk over was wearing a burgundy robe, embroidered with dark patterns of bird feathers, and the cuffs were trimmed with gold. He was about forty years old, his back was straight, his head was slightly raised and his eyelids were lowered, looking at me.
"Magic Girl, this is Elder Xuanyuan, who is responsible for the deployment of staff in the sect. Oh...he, he came here specially to welcome you." The illiterate Huangfu said the last words dryly, obviously a temporary squeeze. The words that came out.
Elder Xuanyuan, Xuanyuan Wumu, Ximen Wuhen would call him "Brother Wumu" when he was young. His grandfather and father were both elders in the sect.
"A wild child who can't find any details wants to join our demon sect and calls himself a demon aunt. Hmm, I'm afraid even the most reckless trickster in the world wouldn't dare to have such a delusion." Xuanyuan Wumu was indeed arrogant, and he didn't even bother to say polite words. Attack me directly.
"Let me make it clear that Demon Girl is called Ximen Wuhen. I personally don't like this title. You can call me An Qi." I raised my hand and waved it gently to stop the "guards" who wanted to speak.
They wanted to take this opportunity to show off and stand up for me as the boss, but I don’t like others to quarrel for me. I like to quarrel myself.
"No matter what your name is, cat or dog, what identity do you want to enter the Demon Cult, that's the important thing."
"I am Ximen Wuhen's younger sister, Ximen Wuhen. Of course you can still call me An Qi." I didn't make up the name Ximen Wuhen. It was chosen by Ximen Wuhen before, but I refused at the time and Don't want to use this name.
However, I am a rebellious person. The more Xuanyuan Wumu doubts my life experience, the more I want to use this identity.
Xuanyuan Wumu asked me to provide evidence, otherwise he would not let me go.
Going further is the gate into the headquarters community. The Demon Cult headquarters is a group of gorgeous buildings. They are built in a circular area surrounded by mangroves.
"What evidence do you have to prove that I am not his sister?" I stared at Xuanyuan's aimless eyes and looked at him calmly, wanting to see if there was any secret hidden in his eyes.
"You are making strong claims. If you can't prove it, can you just let anyone come and claim their kinship with the leader?"
"Let me correct you. I didn't come to recognize Ximen Wuhen. He found me and recognized me. If you question your leader's ability to recognize people, don't blame me."
