Erniu Mountain is located sixteen miles southwest of Youju Town.
The Evil Man Mountain, filled with miasma and rampant monsters, is about twenty miles away from Erniu Mountain.
Beyond the Evil Mountain, there is a circle of mountains.
It's called Shuduan Mountain.
Yang County is adjacent to Shuduan Mountain and is a mountain city built on the mountain.
The Demon Slayer Department of Youju Town has been slaying demons for generations and has traveled almost all over the surrounding mountains. Wherever demon troubles often occur and where demons disappear, there is an "account book".
As for Erniu Mountain, in the "account books", there are no traces of demons.
Seeing that Wang Lishi didn't believe it, Zhou Niu glanced at Sun Dagou anxiously.
Zhou Niu and Sun Dagou are cousins, so Sun Dagou decided to come to the Demon Slayer Division to report the crime, and Zhou Niu accompanied him.
Sun Dagou was more anxious than him.
"Wang...Wang Lishi, I swear to heaven, I definitely saw a demon in Erniu Mountain."
"I have never lied since I was a child. If you don't believe me, just ask my mother."
"Little brother, please say a few words for me."
Sun Dagou was anxious and incoherent.
Wang Huan glanced at Zhao Chan: "Little Toad, tell me, you are a paint picker in this town."
Zhao Chan pondered for a while, he was very familiar with Erniu Mountain, but Sun Dagou was so confident that he gradually doubted his previous memories.
Think before and after.
He said cautiously: "There are thirty-one lacquer trees in Erniu Mountain, all over the mountains. When I went to Erniu Mountain to pick lacquer, I never encountered any monsters..."
Sun Dagou jumped to his feet anxiously: "Little brother! I really don't lie. You also know that I am a medicine farmer. I...I am also familiar with Erniu Mountain..."
Zhou Niu stammered anxiously: "Little brother, tell me, the monster that haunts Erniu Mountain, could it be that it ran down from Evil Man Mountain?"
Zhao Chan suddenly stopped talking.
Wang Huanfu said: "The Evil Man Mountain is twenty miles away from the Erniu Mountain. It is impossible."
"King, Wang, Wang Lishi..." Zhou Niu scratched his head, "How about you go to Erniu Mountain and take a look in person? Xiaoshi Village is at the foot of Erniu Mountain. If there is a monster on the mountain, Xiaoshi Village will be in disaster!"
If a demon appears on the mountain, the village below the mountain must be plagued by the demon.
"Right now, all the demon slayers in the town have gone to Shanniu Village. Only Little Toad and I are left, and I must stay and guard." Wang Huan said.
Sun Dagou shouted: "Let the little brother go and see, he has become a demon slayer anyway."
Zhou Niu hesitated: "Liuhua Village was eaten by demons that came down from the mountain. Nine people were eaten by demons from Erniu Mountain. I don't know how many people died when the demons from Erniu Mountain broke into Xiaoshi Village. Wang Lishi, for the sake of the lives of the people of Xiaoshi Village." , go over and take a look, please!"
Wang Huan asked: "Tell me what kind of monster it is."
"Oh, it's supposed to be a big cat, but it's too big, just like my cow!" Sun Dagou said.
The big cat is the tiger.
Wang Huan shook his head: "It should be an ordinary big cat. You are wrong."
"No! I, I am a medicine farmer, and I have very good eyesight! You can't make a mistake!" He argued.
"Brother Wang, since I joined the Demon Slayer Division and became a demon slayer, I should contribute to the fellow villagers." Zhao Chan said calmly.
Wang Huan paced back and forth: "You are not a real demon slayer yet."
"Brother Wang once said that the Demon Slayer Division wants to keep the people safe." The young man said softly.
It seems this sentence has worked.
"Have you thought it through?"
"Yeah." He nodded.
Zhao Chan knew that from the moment he chose to join the Demon Slayer Division, there were many things he couldn't control.
Although the teacher in the private school said that a gentleman should not stand behind a dangerous wall, he also said that if you live as a hero, you will die as a ghost.
"Since ancient times, heroes come from young, little toad! I saw you right!" Wang Huan patted Zhao Chan heavily on the shoulder, "Remember, you only went to Erniu Mountain to check whether there are monsters, so don't try to do it!"
"I got it."
"follow me."
Wang Huan led Zhao Chan into the backyard and warned: "Oh, I really don't know whether it is right or wrong to allow you to join the Demon Slayer Division. If something happens to you, I...I am really sorry for your parents. Little Toad, Wan Don't try to show off, you haven't tempered your body yet, if you encounter a demon, run away."
Take off the house guard talisman.
Open another box.
The box contains swords, knives, spear heads, axes, etc., less than ten weapons.
"This sword has been given magical power by an expert from the Demon Slaying Department of Yang County. It can easily kill monsters. Here it is for you, so you can try to take advantage of it."
The sword is about three feet three inches long.
Zhao Chan grasped the hilt of the sword and pulled it out from the hilt.
The hilt of the sword is narrow and thin.
The blade of the sword is sharp and reflects every drop of green light.
Suppress your excitement and wave a few times.
"conveniently!"
Looking at the joyful Zhao Chan, Wang Huan smiled and said: "This sword is called 'Green Snake'. It is not heavy, but its sharp edge is unstoppable. My sword is called 'Shishan' and it weighs forty-nine pounds!"
"Come on, let me carry it for you."
The scabbard is made of leather and has a cord.
"Thank you, Brother Wang."
"Don't use your peach branches if you can't use them. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of being missed."
Zhao Chan nodded solemnly.
Wang Huan told him again: "Don't show off! After you strengthen your body, I will accompany you to kill demons all over the mountains and plains!"
"I really remember it."
Wang Huan put his arm on his shoulder: "To be honest with you, I regret agreeing to you joining the Demon Slayer Division."
Zhao Chan whispered: "It's okay, Brother Wang."
"Let's go!"
Back to the front yard.
Zhou Niu and Sun Dagou couldn't help but feel refreshed when they saw Zhao Chan carrying a sword.
Zhao Chan smiled at the two of them: "Let's go."
The three of them walked out of the Demon Slayer Division.
Wang Huan stood on the steps and watched them walk to Erniu Mountain.
…
The foreigner strolled out of Nongsui Alley and focused on observing the house where Zhao Chan lived.
"The courtyard wall is low, so you can climb in without anyone noticing. I'm about fourteen or five years old, and I'm not too strong..."
Wu He, the thug hired by the business traveler, approached him quietly and said, "This is a deposit of four taels. After the work is completed, I will give you the remaining six taels."
Putting the four taels of silver into his arms, the foreigner said easily: "Why don't you give them all to me? This deal can't be ruined!"
"Hey, Qiu Gao, it's better for us to follow the rules on the road."
"I am a cultivator! Killing a young man is guaranteed to be the same as killing a chicken." Qiu Gao said arrogantly, "How can you be such a waste as ordinary people like you!"
"Yes, yes, everything you said is right!" Wu He sneered in his heart.
He wanted to see how furious the Youju Town Demon Slayer Division would be after knowing that his demon slayer died in the hands of Qiu Gao.
Qiu Gao asked, "You don't believe it?"
"You are a high-ranking practitioner, I definitely believe it." Wu He immediately said respectfully.
"snort."
Qiu Gao raised his head and walked away with eight-character steps.
There was something he didn't bother to tell Wu He. It should be noted that a lion also fights a rabbit with all his strength. He had done all the preliminary work that should be prepared. Late that night, he climbed over the wall and entered Zhao Chan's house. He drew his sword and gave the boy a hard blow, which would kill the boy. No burial place!
Wu He took a deep look at Qiu Gao's back and walked back to Xizhao Inn.
Business travel is particularly good.
I sold a lot of goods in one morning.
When the leader of the business trip heard Wu He's report, he slapped his thigh: "Have you given the five taels of silver deposit to Qiu Gao?"
"Give it."
"Without further ado, let's go."
The original price was ten taels, but they actually just wanted to pay a deposit of five taels and then sneak away.
However, the leader would not have expected that Wu Hemei had bet a tael of silver.
Wu He came forward in this matter, and Wu He had the final say whether it was a god or a ghost.
The merchants took action.
Everyone moved quickly to organize the vehicles pulling goods.
After the foreigner named Qiu Gao killed Zhao Chan, even if the Demon Slayer Division interrogated and found out the mastermind behind it, they had already escaped in advance.
The world is huge and no matter how powerful the Demon Slayer Division is, they don't believe that they really have laid a dragnet for a young Demon Slayer.
"Wu He, if you leave at night, don't let Qiu Gao see you."
"Don't worry, brother."
"Well, pay attention to everything." The leader hid in the corner and whispered.
The proprietress Xie Wan watched the merchants busy behind the counter and asked aloud: "Are you leaving now?"
"Thanks to the proprietress's blessing, all the goods have been sold!" the leader said generously, "This is the money for accommodation and food, and the other eighteen cents are the hard-earned money to pay the proprietress."
Xie Wan smiled and said: "I wish you a safe journey."
"Oh, I hope to God it won't rain again."
Watch the businessmen pulling their vehicles away.
Xie Wan withdrew her gaze and asked Wu He, who was drinking hot tea: "Why don't you leave?"
"Oh, there are two people who haven't paid yet. They brought money to pay in the afternoon. I'll wait a little longer."
Wu He looked at Xie Wan's heavy breasts unscrupulously and said.
"The goods didn't sell much," she said.
Wu He said with a smile: "That's already a lot, and there's still the next town! If we all buy the Youju Town, how will others survive?"
"That's true." Xie Wan muttered.
Wu He felt lustful again. He held the teacup and went to the counter and asked, "Madam boss, tell me the truth, what kind of man do you like?"
"Ha, look what you said, I quite like you like this." Xie Wan pretended to be shy.
"ah?"
Wu He was overjoyed: "Boss lady... Haha, I'm really sorry for what happened last night. I'm not usually like this. It's all because I was in a hurry and drank some horse urine that I forgot about it."
Xie Wan rolled her eyes at him, which almost made Wu He excitedly cross the counter and hug her. Resisting the impulse, he said: "How about I tell you a secret?"
"What kind of secret? Tell me first."
"No, no, this secret is about the Evil Mountain. It can only be told to people in the dead of night."
"You said it's the secret about Villain Mountain?"
"Yeah!!" Wu He nodded heavily.
Xie Wan pursed her red lips, then yawned and said, "Not interested."
"Oh! This matter is very important. If the business leader hadn't been so timid, we wouldn't have come to Youju Town and would have gone to Evil Mountain to strive for wealth!"
"I have to close the doors and windows to sleep at night. I don't like listening to stories." Xie Wan glanced at him and said.
"Hey." Wu He saw that there was something going on, and his lust was like a raging fire, burning him all over, "The boss lady just leaves a crack in the window."
"You speak first."
"Aren't I afraid that someone will hit me again?"
"Not tonight." Xie Wan exhaled, puffing out her proud chest.
Really terrible!
Wu He was like falling into the clouds, and said in a suppressed voice: "When we came to Youju Town, we passed the Evil Mountain in the distance and saw a bright light halfway up the mountain! There were probably piles and piles of gold and silver treasures!"
"Think about it, a dangerous place like Villain Mountain is perfect for hiding treasures!"
…
Sun Dagou described the demon he saw.
"It was a big cat about the same size as a cow. Its fur was very beautiful, like a rainbow. When I saw it, it was eating something. I was startled, turned around and ran away. When I ran down Erniu Mountain, There was a loud roar, like thunder.”
Sun Dagou still felt frightened when he thought about it.
Zhou Niu was thinking about other things and asked quietly: "Little brother, tell me the truth, are you sure you can kill that big cat? Others don't know, but I have seen you kill a demon with my own eyes. !”
"You can't call it a monster, just a stronger goat."
"That's amazing! Who would have thought that a goat could hit someone to death with its horns!"
Sun Dagou was listening. He didn't know the matter, so he immediately asked, "What's going on?"
Zhou Niu asked: "Can you keep a secret?"
"Brother, we are brothers! I will keep my mouth shut!"
"Little brother, do you want to tell me?"
Zhao Chan was silent for nearly half a stick: "Tell me."
"One time, I almost had a feeling in my mouth. I was thinking of going up to the mountain to catch some game. I happened to meet my little brother picking paint at Claw Mountain. Oh, and there was Lao Liu.
We walked along a mountain road together, and suddenly we saw a goat jumping out of the forest, with most of its intestines hanging from the goat's horns. Oh, the blood was flowing down the goat's head, like rain.
The scary thing is that the sheep even drank blood from its mouth. "
"Then?"
"Hiss, shut up and listen to me!" Zhou Daniu said angrily.
“When the goat saw us, its eyes gleamed and it bumped into us without saying a word.
There is no other way, we just run away.
Alas, how can two legs outrun four legs? The goats caught up with us within a few steps.
Old Liu was at the back, crying and howling in fear.
You haven’t seen it, the little brother turned around like the most agile monkey and dragged Lao Liu away..."
Sun Dagou was attracted by the story and opened his mouth wide. He smacked his lips and said, "Did the little brother let the goat hit him to death?" Then I thought about it, no, the little brother went to Erniu Mountain with me, but the goat died!
"I saw the little brother running toward the goat with a lacquer knife. He tilted his body to avoid the goat's horns and plunged the lacquer knife into the goat's neck.
I said that the goat was probably a demon, and the cry it made was not a sheep at all. Oh, I can’t tell. I’ll teach you how to do it. "
Zhou Niu still remembered this incident and started to learn it at the top of his voice.
Sun Dagou listened for a while and wondered: "What kind of sound is this? How come it is like a human being?"
"I'm telling you! It's definitely not an ordinary goat!
The little brother pulled out the lacquer knife, turned around and pushed the goat's horn against him, and punched Yang on the body. I heard a bang, guess what? "
"What's wrong!!!"
"Little brother, one punch! Knocked the goat down with just one punch!"
"My mother, I know that little brother is very strong. Even if you beat me to death, you don't know he is so strong!"
"It's not over yet! Brother Zhao pounced on him, and the lacquer knife seemed to have eyes, and he disembowelled the goat with one slash!
After the goat was completely dead, we went to take a look in the forest. This goat actually hit and killed a man. Oops, the man's stomach was bloody and his internal organs were gone. Old Liu said that his internal organs were missing. The goat ate it. "
Zhou Niu said: "Lao Liu beat the little brother and said that he really didn't take his own life seriously, how could he be worthy of his parents who died of illness.
Since then, the little brother has been more cautious about his life and has never been in danger again. He heard from other paint pickers that even if he encounters a python in the mountains, he will quickly take a detour.
I really didn't believe it when I saw my little brother becoming a demon slayer. "
Talking.
Xiaoshi Village has arrived.
Not far away is Erniu Mountain.
