Speaking of this, Ji Yan looked a little lonely and bitter.
"The demons in Tanning City are cursed."
Zhu Ruiying raised her eyes to look at him, quietly waiting for his next words.
After guessing Zhu Ruiying's identity, Ji Yan became more frank and did not deliberately conceal the matter.
"The demon power here is limited. Even those who have cultivated human form for hundreds of years can only use the demon power equivalent to the twenty years of Taoism of a normal demon who has cultivated human form. The demon who is knocked back to human form will not be sane. After being damaged, it is even more difficult to cultivate into a human form and reach the sky. Therefore, Tan Ning's are basically small demons. The demon powers they can use are nothing more than small demon methods such as retrieving objects from the air and teleportation. In essence, it’s no different from humans, it’s just that it’s more convenient than them to do things in many cases in life.”
Zhu Ruiying understood. She remembered last night that she said she would teach Ji Yan, become his master, and improve his cultivation. Ji Yan had a funny look on his face, and now he knew what was going on.
Zhu Ruiying lowered her eyes. From her own point of view, no matter where the curse or forbidden technique came from, it was a good thing for her.
"How long has it been since the demons here have reached their deepest level?"
"Those who have been cultivating the human form for more than ninety years are considered to be the longest people to become demons. However, such people are basically no longer in Tanning. Because of the long-term curse, their cultivation has been seriously frustrated, so these seniors have left the city long ago. Let’s go and find a way to crack it, and now the only powerful ones left are the tree demons.”
"Dryad? How about him? Does he have any grudge against us?"
Ji Yan knows who we are referring to.
"No, he has no close friends or relatives, he is alone, and he never cares about these things, but..."
"explain."
"Master, almost half of Tan Ningzhong are demons. Although we don't have anything to fear in terms of demon power, the demons here live according to human rules, including rights, so if my family wants to It’s not easy to survive here.”
Zhu Ruiying naturally understood what Ji Yan said.
Let's do it bit by bit. As long as there are not so many demons who know that the Zhu family is in Tan Ning, she can slowly find a way to solve this matter.
"How many people know that our home is in Tanning now?"
"About ten, three of them have grudges against them. I should be able to control this news for the time being."
Zhu Ruiying nodded after hearing this. She looked at Ji Yan with eyes full of approval: "You are very smart."
Ji Yan smiled and said: "After all, I am Master's disciple now, and I have to serve Master, right?"
Zhu Ruiying's face was full of smiles: "You are so good, good disciple, let me ask you one more thing. Do you know why Tan Ning suffered a disaster in the first place?"
"I don't know..." Ji Yan thought for a while and told all the information he knew, "I only remember that it was a disaster year, including here. Several demons in Tan Ning couldn't help it and asked People took action. At that time, it was too chaotic. People were killing each other. We were monsters and could beat people. People became the food of some monsters who had lost their rationality. They adhered to the concept of the weak and the strong. Is that reasonable?"
Ji Yan's words made Zhu Ruiying a little distracted and reminded her of some bad memories, but she quickly returned to reason and asked softly: "What happened next."
"Later, when the calamity year passed, Dachang sent troops to fight. In fact, there was nothing worthy of Dachang in the Tanning area. It seems that Dachang Tianshi said that evil spirits that appear in calamity years are not as good as weeds."
"Does this sentence refer to you?" Zhu Ruiying grasped the key point, "So, do you know that it was the Tianshi's idea to attack Tan Ning?"
Ji Yan nodded: "Yes, at the beginning, the demon Tan Ning was able to appear among us, this is what he said when he brought him back."
"Can a demon like Tan Ning appear?"
"Yes, it is also because of the curse that not everyone can get out of the demons in Tanning City. Some people came to settle in the past, and during disaster years, they became the food of the demons. Some of their relatives often did not receive their letters. , either missing or caring, came here to visit, but never returned. Perhaps because of this, it brought disaster to us. The demon went to the palace and brought back news that clearly stated that this The war is because of the Heavenly Master."
Ji Yan was a little angry when he talked about this.
"Those out-of-control monsters were all dealt with internally by us. Why did Master Shi feel so indebted that day! Besides, what does it matter to us about the mistakes those monsters made? We are not together! Why should we be beaten to death with a rod!"
In Tan Ning, most of them are very kind little demons.
But after experiencing this catastrophe, everything changed. Before their wildness faded away, they witnessed all kinds of cruelty, similar species, and the huge impact of humans on them slowly changed their wildness.
Later, Tanning became the territory of Dachang, but due to the war, the place became dilapidated. Dachang never cared about it, but there were still a large number of humans coming, some were exiled, and some were due to various reasons. There are reasons to come here, but the people who come here may have some stories.
All in all, Tanning has changed from a demon city to a place where humans and demons mix, and the obvious characteristics, lifestyles and survival rules of those people gradually assimilate the demons.
Sometimes Ji Yan has to say that in fact, people are often much more powerful than demons.
Zhu Ruiying: "I understand. Were you present when Tan Ning massacred the city?"
"I hadn't yet cultivated the human form at that time, so I was watching from a short distance away."
That incident was a huge blow to the demon who had experienced it and witnessed it with his own eyes.
There is no such thing as unity among the demon clan. They live independently, but the disaster forced them to become a whole. Even if there are no relatives or close friends among them, it is impossible to say that they don't have any emotions in their hearts just by watching their kind being slaughtered. of.
Zhu Ruiying: "I've finished asking. Please help me suppress the news that our family has come to Tanning as much as possible. Don't let too many people know about it. As for those who already know, can you..."
Ji Yan begged: "Master! I have a very good relationship with them. Don't..."
Zhu Ruiying frowned: "What did I say? I just asked you to help arrange a meeting."
Ji Yan smiled and said ah.
Zhu Ruiying had some doubts about her image in Ji Yan's eyes.
Is she that bloodthirsty?
Although sometimes she would think in her heart, it's so annoying, I should just kill her, but she really rarely took any action.
Zhu Ruiying felt that she was actually a very rational person, and her usual behavior was the same. Ji Yan's misunderstanding of her made her feel a little baffled.
When Ji Yan heard what she said, his heart finally calmed down.
"Then Master, what are your plans next? Do you still want to deal with that snake demon first?"
"Well, we have to solve the trouble. Our family still needs to eat."
The most and only loss-making business that Zhu Ruiying has done over the years is to work for the Lord God.
It can be seen from this that she actually doesn't like doing business at a loss, so after the land farming method that Ning Xingyu mentioned today that paid off, the option of farming land in Xiaoxi Town did not appear in her consideration at all. within the range.
"Then, what to do?"
"Call him up and have a chat."
In this season of spring and flowers blooming, what kind of sleep is the sleep of winter? It is better to come out and enjoy the scenery while practicing cultivation.
As soon as Ji Yan lowered his head, he saw Zhu Ruiying looking at him. Was he... trying to give her a solution?
Ji Yan thought for a while and said: "There is nothing I can do to call him up. There is almost no one here who has higher demon power than him, and those who do are not willing to wade into this muddy water."
Zhu Ruiying was not too disappointed.
"I will solve this matter. The curse on you, I will find a way to help you."
"Master, do you have any idea?"
Ji Yan was very happy. After all, no one wanted their cultivation path to be cut off. Ji Yan was also an ambitious person. Even in this situation, he never gave up completely.
Zhu Ruiying nodded implicitly: "Of course, you go back first and bring your two friends over as soon as possible to avoid more trouble."
Ji Yan kept nodding his head, and he watched Zhu Ruiying get up from the stone bench and walk back, and he couldn't help but follow her.
Zhu Ruiying turned around in response, and Ji Yan stopped taking small steps.
Zhu Ruiying looked up at Ji Yan, a little puzzled by his slightly obscene following.
"do what?"
"Well, Master, when will you help me lift the curse?"
"When our family's affairs come to an end for the time being, don't worry, if you help me, I won't treat you badly."
Ji Yan: "Okay, I'm not in a hurry. I'd like to thank Master first."
Zhu Ruiying turned around and went home.
She won't help Ji Yan now.
This person is very cunning. Zhu Ruiying will not solve any problems for Ji Yan without being sure that he will be loyal to her. She can help Ji Yan, but she has to look at the timing and the performance of this person.
There was no way she was going to cause trouble for herself.
Zhu Ruiying slept until early morning. When she woke up in the morning, she began to think about how to get rid of the snake monster under the ground.
She felt awkward when she thought about the big snake living under the ground.
The adults are already planning to visit Xiaoxi Town.
Zhu Ruiying ran into Mrs. Shen's arms and acted coquettishly: "Mother, I want to go too. I want to go too."
Zhu Yingzhuo: "Baby, mom and dad are going to talk about business, not to play."
Zhu Ruiying didn't listen, and Zhu Ruiying continued to act coquettishly.
Zhu Yingzhuo was a daughter slave and could not stop the child's serial coquettish attacks, so he could only turn his attention to Shen for help and let his wife handle it.
Mrs. Shen: "Ruiying, stay at home. Mom will buy you something delicious when she comes back, okay?"
[Stay at home and wait for you to pay out the money? You can’t do a loss-making business, mother! 】
Shen: "..."
When Ning Xingyu came, what he saw was Zhu Ruiying holding Shen's hand and acting coquettishly with her mouth bulging.
