At night, Jinzhou was quiet again.
From time to time on the road, the watchman sounded the time.
But every household lit oil lamps and the paper windows were extremely bright. Everyone seemed to be afraid of something.
But don’t mention it, there is still a sense of beauty like “thousands of fireworks and dim lights”.
But there was only one exception. There was no light, it was dark, and it looked out of place among many other people's homes.
On the plaque are the five characters "Huaizi Small Pawnshop".
And there is a pair of deep eyes looking through the window, staring at every move around him.
Zhao Huai stood by the bedroom window, motionless.
"Husband, aren't you still asleep?"
Inside the room, Yu Qinghan yawned listlessly, wearing a thin white skirt and lying on the bed, with her figure fully exposed. When she saw Zhao Huai still standing by the window, she couldn't help but ask.
"You go to sleep first, I don't care."
Zhao Huai smiled slightly.
During the foundation building period, the mental energy is so strong that one can go without sleeping for a week.
For monks, the essence of sleep is to restore mental strength. When mental strength is strong, they will naturally sleep less, and it doesn't matter if they don't sleep.
The reason why he is standing here tonight is naturally because of the result of divination during the day.
Demons are attacking the city, what is this concept?
This shows that there are a large number of demons with evil intentions towards Jinzhou, which is not a good thing. He has lived in Jinzhou for three years, not to mention that his foundation is here. More importantly, he is used to the life here and the people here. People are far from moving away.
A dragon gate array was set up tonight, and he wanted to see who dared to come.
I saw that my wife had gone to sleep, but there was still no sign of the demon.
Zhao Huai was not in a hurry and sat cross-legged, practicing while waiting.
"Squeak!"
Suddenly, a scream came from the window of the shop, which sounded a bit like a mouse.
coming.
Zhao Huai slowly opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
There are extremely powerful thunder symbols on the windows of Huai Zi Pawn Shop.
As long as a demon dares to come, it will explode so much that his mother won't even recognize it.
In an instant, the light of the [Illuminating Demon Eye] of the Fate Consciousness Sea surged.
Zhao Huai's pupils suddenly changed color, and the world in his eyes was suddenly different.
A faint black energy guided him in the room where the shop was located.
Without any hesitation, Zhao Huai left the bedroom.
I saw a burnt black thing lying on the ground. Its head looked like a mouse, but it was different. It had a pair of fangs, white fluffy hair on its chest, and black flesh wings on its back.
"bat?"
Zhao Huai couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the corpse.
He recognized it almost at a glance. It was a white-haired bat. It was quite large, about the size of a child. It looked very fat. It was unknown how much blood it had sucked.
It turned out to be a bat demon.
If it is a bat, it makes sense. Lighting a lamp can drive away bats, because bat demons are afraid of light, so no wonder they are afraid of light.
At this time, the window was wide open, and a wisp of cold evil wind blew in. The night was very dark, and only the faint moonlight came in.
Zhao Huai looked at the sky, narrowed his eyes, and the black energy immediately guided him.
It seems there are a few more. This is a bat nest.
The mysterious ring flashed, and a green spiritual sword floated up, parallel to the ground.
Zhao Huai's figure swayed slightly.
The sword finger moved slightly, and the spirit sword flew out with a "whoosh" sound.
In the sky.
A group of dark bats were flying in panic over the eaves of Jinzhou.
"What's going on!? Why is there lightning in such a good situation?"
"Idiot! We have encountered a monk and we must report it to the king!"
"Lao Jiu died so miserably! His hair turned black!"
Several bat demons were uttering human words in a panic.
"Let's go back to Tianmu Mountain first. These guys from Black Wind Cave are really abominable. They actually hid the truth from us. Even Jinzhou hid the monks without telling them."
"Yes, your Majesty will definitely seek justice for us."
Tianmu Mountain soon appeared in view.
When the bat demons were preparing to return to their nest, suddenly, a brilliant sword light flashed across the distant sky.
You Qing's sword energy struck down brilliantly, and several bat demons were cut off immediately, unable to even let out a scream.
Zhao Huai's figure slowly appeared, and before the bat demon's body fell to the ground, several rays of milky white light escaped and poured directly into Zhao Huai's body.
"Such pure energy."
Zhao Huai said in great surprise.
He felt that his cultivation was growing rapidly, and the silent sea of qi suddenly became active, and the true energy in his body cheered for joy.
As the true energy broke through the restraints, he actually broke through.
Build three floors of foundation.
Zhao Huai felt the improved cultivation level on his body and couldn't help but murmured: "These little demons can actually keep up with more than a year of hard training."
With the [Demon Killing] fate in his body, he can cause great damage to monsters, and can also improve his cultivation by absorbing this pure energy.
For the first time, Zhao Huai felt that a breakthrough was so simple, so he stood on the spiritual sword, looked down, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
The reason why he waited until the end to take action just now was to find out where these monsters came from. With the see-through effect of the Demon Eye, he locked the monster energy and followed them all the way, and finally found them here.
It seems that the area below is the demon's lair.
"The evil spirit here is so strong."
Zhao Huai was just hanging in the air, and through the Zhaoyao Eye he could see thousands of strands of black energy leading to the mountains in front of him.
The guidance of the black energy was extremely strong and transformed into roaring shapes. It was obvious that there was a big demon here.
Zhao Huai naturally would not seek death and rashly entered the depths of the mountains. He slowly thought about whether he should tell Wangxian Sect the news.
Rather than telling Wangxian Sect, it was actually telling Lu Wanqiu.
Ever since the lantern girl said goodbye, Lu Wanqiu had given him a way to contact her. As long as he woke up the communication stone, he could contact the other party.
Thinking about it carefully, Zhao Huai also noticed something was wrong.
There is something about the big demon here. Does Wangxian Sect know about it?
Wangxian Sect must know, don't they have a better way?
So just leave it alone?
Zhao Huai didn't think about it for the time being. He took a deep look at the mountains under the night and left here.
The next day.
Zhao Huai woke up the communication stone and planned to ask Lu Wanqiu something.
The two made an appointment to meet in an inn.
After waiting for a while, Zhao Huai saw a beautiful woman with outstanding temperament and a green lotus dress walking in the door.
Lu Wanqiu saw Zhao Huai from a distance and walked up to say hello.
"Mr. Zhao, long time no see."
Zhao Huai smiled and nodded, glanced at her clothes, and laughed:
"Every time I see you, I wear this outfit. It feels like I haven't changed."
Hearing this, Lu Wanqiu chuckled and explained:
"This is a custom-made dust-removing spiritual garment from the sect. It is distributed to disciples above the inner sect. It is generally not dirty. It is sewn with the finest silkworm silk. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. One set is enough."
"I see."
Zhao Huai nodded slightly.
"Tell me, if anything happens, it's rare for you to come see me."
Lu Wanqiu poured herself a cup of tea and chuckled.
Zhao Huai thought for a moment and said, "Did you know that the mountains near Jinzhou seem to be called Tianmu Mountain?"
"Of course we know that the Black Wind Cave is located near this mountain."
"There must be a lot of monsters there."
"It's a lot."
Lu Wanqiu nodded in agreement.
"Then why does Wangxian Sect do nothing?" Zhao Huai said with a deep look.
Lu Wanqiu smiled and said nothing after hearing this.
After a pause, she slowly asked:
"I would like to ask Mr. Zhao, what is a demon?"
Zhao Huai replied without hesitation: "The demon is cunning and cruel, kills cold-bloodedly, and takes pleasure in cannibalism."
Lu Wanqiu nodded, obviously very much in agreement.
"Young Master is right, but do you know that although demons are in the category of demons, not all demons are demons."
"Can it be said that there are still good demons?" Zhao Huai asked doubts.
Lu Wanqiu slowly said: "In the journey of cultivation, all living beings are equal. If people can practice, demons can naturally do it. In Tianmu Mountain, there are also demons who practice honestly, demons who have families and careers, and demons who live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. It is impossible for the Wangxian Sect to drive out all the demons. , slaughtered them all, this is an unkind act of heaven, it will mess up the cause and effect, and create karma."
"So, the sect only kills the demons that cause trouble, instead of killing all the demons. Not only Wangxian Sect, but other sects as well."
After hearing these words, Zhao Huai understood a little and said with a smile: "Is this your idea or the sect's idea?"
Rules are rules, reality is reality, and he doesn't believe reality is so beautiful.
When monsters eat people, they don't care whether you are a good person or a bad person.
Just like when a monk kills a demon, he doesn't care whether you are a demon or a monster.
Both sides are still at odds.
Lu Wanqiu glanced at him and said helplessly: "It's the sect's idea, and it's also my idea."
Looking at the other party's look, Zhao Huai finally understood.
It's still a matter of energy, the rules are just a reason, Wangxian Sect can't possibly use all their efforts to slay demons.
The sect doesn't really want to pay attention to those who cut off their heads naturally without causing trouble. After all, killing monsters costs human lives.
After talking, Zhao Huai finally understood the sect's specific attitude towards monsters.
He stared at Lu Wanqiu's recalling expression and knew that the other party must have experienced something. The other party's parents died at the hands of demons. It was really rare to come to such a conclusion.
It shows the kindness in his heart.
