Three years later.
Dayan Kingdom, Bamboo Sea City...
Mao Shi.
The eighth-level demon slayer Shi Kun was patrolling the edge of Zhuhai City, which he was responsible for.
He had been patrolling all night.
all the best.
No abnormalities were found, and no monsters appeared.
After a while, you can complete the patrol mission and go back to the Demon Slayer's station to rest or practice...
Recently, the tasks of the demon slayer have been relatively leisurely.
In fact, to be more precise, the past three years have been relatively leisurely.
The job of slaying demons is getting easier and easier.
No longer do you have to be busy every day to slay demons like before, and you will be injured or killed if you are not careful...
Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer monsters that can come out to harm people.
Normally, you only need to pay attention to the common people, and do not be affected by evil desires and evil thoughts to create soul puppets that turn into evil objects to harm others and yourself.
Demon-slayers have more time to focus on their own affairs, enjoy life, or pursue cultivation.
It took Shi Kun these three years to jump from the fifth-level soul elixir realm to the eighth-level soul aperture realm!
He felt that practicing cultivation had become extremely easy in the past few years, and the essence of the sun and the moon in the heaven and earth had become very rich.
This change actually started three years ago when word spread in the Yan Palace that the ancestor of the Yan family was happy to advance and open up a new world!
From that day on, the territory of Dayan Kingdom expanded many times.
There are many extremely beautiful mountains and rivers appearing out of thin air!
Moreover, the newly enthroned Queen Yan Qianqian also consecrated some powerful non-human elves and made them mountain gods.
This was something that was simply unimaginable in the past! …
Because in the past, those mountain gods might have been evil spirits who caused trouble and were the enemies of the demon-slayers.
But things are different now.
Not only can the demon slayer and the mountain god coexist peacefully, but they can also sometimes help each other.
If there is an elf with cultivation in the mountains and rivers guarded by the mountain gods, they must communicate with the demon slayer and register them in the register.
If an elf harms civilians, the demon slayer almost doesn't need to do it himself, as the mountain god will help deal with it.
This is also an important reason why the demon-slayers have become more relaxed.
They only need to be responsible for densely populated cities and towns.
And this Bamboo Sea City is the city that Shi Kun is responsible for.
At this moment, he was flying towards the deepest part of the bamboo sea, stepping on the bamboo branches and leaves.
Soon, I saw a magical and magnificent scene among thousands of bamboo leaves.
I saw a green "Tianzhu" rising from the ground inside a mountain col!
The reason why it is called "Tianzhu" is because it is too tall and too big. Its top reaches straight into the sky, hidden in half clouds and half mist. The mountains and valleys with a radius of hundreds of miles are occupied by this sky pillar.
It was actually a huge bamboo.
Legend has it that it started growing three years ago, and this growth has never stopped...
Now it is getting bigger and thicker.
If an outsider comes here who doesn’t know its details, he will never believe that this is actually a bamboo...
Perhaps the reason why the mountain col appears here is because of the existence of this green sky pillar.
And that "Tianzhu" is where Bamboo Sea City is located!
This pillar of heaven is surrounded by giant bamboos for hundreds of miles, and is as green as jade, attracting many creatures to live here.
It also attracts many civilians who want to settle down and settle down here.
So the queen ordered the construction of this city, named Bamboo Sea City.
Although the bamboo body reaches straight into the clouds, Her Majesty the Queen, who has many strange and ingenious tricks, can still find a way for people to get up and down easily.
She teaches people to use the mechanism to transform every bamboo joint,
I made something called a "harmony ladder"...
It is very convenient for civilians to enter and exit the Bamboo Sea City built in the clouds.
And what makes that "harmony ladder" move is something called "harmony" energy...
It is said that this kind of "harmony" can keep this mechanism called "harmony ladder" in operation for ten thousand years without stopping.
It's really awesome...
Privately, Shi Kun admired Her Majesty the Queen for being able to figure out such weird things.
However, there are also rumors that these were taught by the ancestors of the Yan family.
The purpose is to benefit ordinary people.
However, a demon slayer like Shi Kun naturally does not need to use "He Lai".
He planned to rely on the power of cultivation to fly up.
now.
Standing on the bamboo branch, Shi Kun looked at the huge bamboo city of Giant Bamboo in the distance.
The surrounding area of Bamboo Sea City is exuding a dense aura, and a vigorous mist is spewing out...
On it, the bamboo branches and leaves are swaying, and the emerald green light is flowing and flying.
What a wonderful city!
Being able to practice and live here is considered a blessing...
Shi Kun smiled slightly, and quickly got up without wanting to delay any longer.
It flew towards one of the bamboo joints of the huge bamboo city.
He quickly rushed towards the green bamboo wall and flew along the hard bamboo wall.
The surrounding dense fog spread to both sides, allowing Shi Kun to take the initiative to make way for a passage filled with misty green mist.
After flying like this for a stick of incense, he finally stood above a town built with green tiles and blue bricks.
Yufeng stood on the rocky top of the bamboo, and Shi Kun had a bird's eye view of the city.
I saw a faint mist of alienation hanging over Zhuhai City in the early morning.
The mysterious pavilions with green walls and blue tiles in the city are like girls dressed in green rose and green gauze, standing gracefully by the river.
The sky shrouded in pale white clouds and the jagged stone arch bridges made of green stone are blended together, making it dreamlike and very quiet and elegant...
The river water, slightly rippling with green smoke, rippled gently.
Occasionally, a awning boat carrying fishermen floats aimlessly on the river.
The shadow of the boat gradually became distant and blurred, just like a drop of ink gradually seeping into rice paper...
All in all, this is a quiet and quiet city, a spiritual place where there is no danger or disaster!
So much so that the Demon Suppression Division dared to only arrange for an eighth-level demon slayer like him to be stationed here.
Anyway, with the help of the mountain gods guarding nearby, even Shi Kun alone can still be busy...
In fact, it was also because of the sudden increase in the number of cities in Dayan Kingdom that there were not enough manpower.
Moreover, something happened in the Demon Suppression Department in the past few years, which resulted in a shortage of talents...
The newly trained demon slayers are not yet able to take charge on their own.
So the Demon Suppression Division decided to guard only one or two demon slayers in a relatively peaceful place for the time being.
Shi Kun felt it didn't matter.
In fact, when he was in Zhuhai City, he was not only busy, but also had a very leisurely life.
Patrol every night and rest during the day...
now.
Shi Kun, who was standing on the stone hills against the wind, flew down the long street.
He plans to make one more inspection before ending today's mission...
After flying down, he stood on a stone bridge.
However.
Just after walking a few steps, some raindrops fell slightly from the sky.
It actually rains in the early morning...
"Let's take one more turn, then go back and have breakfast..."
After Shi Kun muttered silently, he walked around on the stone bridge.
While walking, I admired the scenery in the rain.
But I saw raindrops falling on the river, causing ripples, and I could vaguely see groups of small red fish playing.
The willow branches on the bank were bent by the wind, and the thin willow branches gently touched the river surface.
There is not only this small river here, but its source is unknown. I can only see it flowing quietly in front of the windows and doors of every pavilion in Zhucheng...
After getting off the stone bridge, we walked slowly towards the city.
This city is really like a beautiful girl far away from the world...
Although no makeup is applied, it has a unique style.
It is also like a beautiful woman in a deep valley, with green sleeves and cold clothes, leaning alone on a bamboo. Although the mood is too cold, it adds to the leisurely feeling of being out of the world.
The waves of the river in the distance are as fine as scales...
Just walking in it will make you feel relaxed and happy.
No wonder it attracts so many people to settle here...
At this moment, Shi Kun continued to walk.
But……
As he walked, he suddenly noticed a slight noise coming from somewhere.
It seemed like something had bounced off, and then calmness returned.
So he stopped.
Turn your attention to a pavilion street corner.
At this time, there was a black kitten, squatting in front of the flower window near the water, looking at Shi Kun indifferently as he passed by.
This black cat seems to be paying close attention to Shi Kun.
This made Shi Kun frown...
He felt that there was a purple energy lingering around the cat's body.
It seems to be a spiritual creature with some moral character!
According to the rules established in the palace, all elves with good practices need to go to the mountains and rivers where the mountain gods are to gather and practice.
And it must be reported to the demon slayer. Without permission, civilians cannot be disturbed.
Obviously, this cat spirit did not get permission to enter Zhuhai City, but broke into the human city without permission.
This is against the rules...
"Is he a subordinate sent by Yutori?..."
Shi Kun looked at the cat and muttered.
Yutori is the mountain god who guards the mountains and rivers of the Bamboo Sea near Bamboo Sea City.
It's a big white-scaled snake...
However, in the past, when Yutori sent his subordinates to report matters, they would choose when Shi Kun was patrolling outside at night.
The location will also be a very fixed mountain forest...
Why was this cat sent into the city today?
Something strange...
However, if it is not a subordinate of Yutori, where can it be?
With doubts, Shi Kun moved his steps.
He turned around and walked towards the corner of the street where the black cat was staring at him.
unexpectedly!
When the cat saw Shi Kun approaching, he calmly jumped off the flower window sill and walked slowly towards the alley at the corner of the street, as if leading the way for Shi Kun.
Shi Kun who was following behind was very surprised when he saw this!
"It's really not that simple!!..."
So he immediately quickened his pace and followed him.
Who would have thought that the cat would run very fast!
Shi Kun did not dare to neglect and immediately quickened his pace to chase after him.
He can conclude one thing now!
"This cat... is definitely not sent by the mountain god Amatori!"
Since strange elves have invaded the city, they must be dealt with!
If it has harmed humans, it must be killed.
If it is a new spirit monster, you have to contact Yutori to take him away for training.
at this time.
He followed the cat's trace and turned deep into the street corner...
Turn down the deep alley and pass through the alleyway with pavilions!
Soon, we came to a secluded place.
This is the bottom of the rock wall behind a pavilion. Ancient vines have fallen from the rock wall, turning the corner of the rock wall into a very hidden shelter.
Shi Kun followed the traces of the kitten and came here.
But in the blink of an eye, the cat’s whereabouts disappeared!
So, Shi Kun came to Shibi
Walking through the vine branches between...
But when he raised his hand to brush a vine leaf, he heard someone gently strumming the pipa string!
Shi Kun's heart skipped a beat!
He had just been carefully searching for any traces of anyone here, but he could not find the other party's location.
It was only at this moment that the other party deliberately teased the pipa string to reveal his location, and Shi Kun realized that there was other aura in this place.
It was an extremely cold breath!
The visitor is not good! …
So he put down the vine leaves he had picked up in his hands, slowly turned around, and looked at the mysterious being who used the kitten to attract him!
When Shi Kun turned around, he saw a figure not far away from him standing quietly among the vine branches!
The man was wearing a black robe, a black veil on his head, his back was straight, and he was holding a white pipa in his arms.
The man's hands and arms holding the jade wood pipa are white and slender, and his fingers are resting on the jade wood pipa, as if he is ready to pluck the pipa strings, play and sing a low tune for the audience at any time.
When the man in black robe saw Shi Kun turn around, he gently played with the strings of his pipa, and the sound immediately followed the strings.
The sound waves spread apart the vines, leaving no barrier between the man in black robe and Shi Kun...
