Chapter 69 Demon

"Master, please drink tea." Reining in her emotions, Zhong Liqing held the teacup, raised it above her head respectfully, and handed it to Yuan Qiongshuang, who smiled slightly and pretended to take it.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

A dazzling red light pierced through the sky and fell straight to the north of Chonghua. Then, an invisible shock radiated from there, and everyone felt the terrifying aura coming from there.

Zhong Liqing frowned, feeling as if her heart was shaking, and the brand of the ring between her fingers was burning hot, which made her startled, she couldn't help but look - but she could only see a flash of red .

After that, there was no more movement there, and even the breath disappeared suddenly, as if it had never appeared before.

But including her, everyone present clearly realized that something bad had happened.

"What a terrifying aura..." Lu Xianrou glanced at Beibei worriedly, then cupped her hands and asked Yuan Qiongshuang for instructions, "Master."

Yan Zichu counted, and shook his head at Rong Miaoyin who was also watching the ceremony with an ugly face: "The vision is chaotic, the future is uncertain, I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out..."

Seeing that the people in Chonghua were discussing a lot because of the vision, Yuan Qiongshuang hit the bell with a forceful flick of her finger, and made a deafening clear sound, and everyone fell silent.

She took the teacup in Zhong Liqing's hand calmly, took a sip, and said calmly: "My dear disciple, it seems that this ceremony of apprenticeship has to be simplified first, and I will make up for you after this matter is over." A more grand one, okay?"

"Follow the teacher's order, and don't dare not to." Zhong Liqing quickly bowed and saluted.

"That's good, disciples in Tsing Yi and below, each go back to the academy to practice, disciples in white go back to each peak to stand by, elders and above, go to Mingyou Hall of Qinglian Peak to discuss... Let's go." After giving orders, Yuan Qiongshuang waved her sleeves, He took Zhong Liqing and left the Sword Washing Platform first.

Mingyou Hall is the main hall of Qinglian Peak, the front hall is the place where official affairs are handled on weekdays, and the back hall is the sleeping hall of the head.

The front hall is spacious enough to accommodate hundreds of people. At this moment, the elders who rushed back because of Zhong Liqing's teacher apprenticeship ceremony gathered in the hall. Although it was not crowded, the sudden dignified atmosphere made dozens of Nascent Soul Stage and even branch elders gather in the hall. The coercion unleashed unconsciously by the elders of Shenqi made Zhong Liqing so uncomfortable that she couldn't breathe—fortunately, Yuan Qiongshuang immediately noticed her strangeness, waved her hand, and quietly covered her with a layer of isolation The enchantment made her feel better.

While Zhong Liqing was grateful for Yu Yuan Qiongshuang's thoughtfulness, she was secretly annoyed: her cultivation was still too weak, no matter how tough her soul was, she was like an ant in front of these strong men.

Even if it's just their coercion, she can be easily crushed into powder. This feeling that life and death cannot be controlled by oneself is really too bad.

"What do you guys think of the talent's red light and aura?" Although Yuan Qiongshuang is usually a lazy and indifferent look, but at critical moments, she still has the majesty of a master - not chaotic, calm and calm. Teach people as if they have found the backbone, and they are certain in their hearts.

"It's demonic energy!" "That's right, I can feel it, it's demonic energy." "Could it be some kind of demonic cultivator who has mastered cultivation?"

"According to what I see, the devilish aura is so thick that if it has substance, I'm afraid it's not as simple as an ordinary devil cultivator, but it looks like a devil who broke the ban from the abyss." An old man with white beard and white hair stroked his beard and pondered. road.

"Uncle Master, what do you mean?" Judging by Yuan Qiongshuang's respectful expression, I'm afraid the old man's seniority is very high - Zhong Liqing couldn't help but take another look at him.

"If it wasn't for the success of demon cultivation like the demon lord Wu Xin, the demonic energy dissipated and caused astronomical phenomena, or someone used forbidden methods to summon real demons from the abyss." The old man said with a condensed expression.

As soon as he said this, the faces of everyone in the hall changed, and the atmosphere sank to the bottom.

Zhong Liqing also quietly sent a voice transmission to Lu Xianrou, and after listening to her explanation in a few words, she finally understood the seriousness of the situation - the path of cultivation, there are three thousand ways, some people cultivate immortals, and others naturally cultivate demons, this is the difference in the way of cultivation, There is nothing wrong with it, but among the six realms, there is a kind of demons, they are born to eat people, they are heartless and ruthless, and the demons are proud of greed, and they regard evil as beauty. If the demons are allowed to cause trouble in the world, they will be afraid of life and death, and the world will be in danger.

Hundreds of millions of years ago, the gods and demons fought against each other, and finally gathered the power of the gods to isolate the six realms and suppress the demons in the abyss, allowing the human race to multiply and become the most prosperous race in the six realms. After one battle, they fell one after another, and there are no gods in the world anymore.

But in the end, it is just a legend, and there is no solid proof. The gods and demons are too far away from mortals and even monks, so there is no way to verify them.

——The demon, for the human race that has been stable for thousands of years, is too far away.

However, because the magic cultivation is to grab the magic power from the demons to practice, it is against the righteous way, so there are always fights between the righteous and the demons.

Although the demon cultivators lost in the battle between righteousness and demons a hundred years ago, and it has been agreed that demons will not be forcibly summoned to the human world, but there are still demon cultivators who disregard the laws of heaven and act against the heavens.

At this time, the entire comprehension world will recruit people and spare no effort to crusade.

Since the Chonghua Sword Sect is the leader in the cultivation world of Tianhua Kingdom, naturally they can't just sit idly by when there is a possibility of demons appearing in the world. After discussion, they decided to lead the team by half of the elders. Exterminate the source of the devilish energy.

And Lu Xianrou, as the head disciple, naturally led the team without hesitation.

Seeing that the teams were ready to go, Zhong Liqing suddenly approached Yuan Qiongshuang, and solemnly begged: "Master, please order me to go down the mountain with my senior sister to investigate."

Yuan Qiongshuang glanced at her, and refused displeasedly: "You are a golden core stage, and you have just formed a core, why are you making trouble? Not to mention the demons in the abyss, even those demons who have become fine Xiu, you are no match."

"This apprentice naturally knows that this trip is dangerous, and it is not a trip to the mountains and rivers. It is for this reason that I asked my master to go - the way of cultivation is to face difficulties. If I would only hide in the sect and enjoy the blessings of the sect master Protection, being the flower in the greenhouse, but not daring to accept the baptism of wind and rain, then it will only be a waste in the end——Bao Jianfeng is sharpened, and I am willing to be Chonghua's sharpest sword, master, please fulfill it." Zhong Liqing She racked her brains to think of an excuse, but she almost didn't pull Yuan Qiongshuang's sleeve to act coquettishly.

Seeing her persistence, Yuan Qiongshuang frowned and thought about it, and finally compromised: "Forget it, since you have made up your mind, I won't stop you, it's good to use left and right as experience - keep close to your senior sister, she will always protect you your."

"Thank you, Master." Zhong Liqing smiled, and couldn't help but touch her fingertips that had returned to normal—the burning heat from the ring just now had subsided, but she still felt a lingering warmth on her skin. It was as if a force was reminding her to go north.

In the bottom of her heart, there was a thought of "If you don't go, you will regret it for the rest of your life", so she urged her to pester Yuan Qiongshuang to agree.

Before leaving, Yuan Qiongshuang suddenly called Zhong Liqing into the inner hall, then she turned her body and flicked her plain hand on her face, a mask made of white jade appeared in her palm.

She handed the mask to Zhong Liqing, and said in a rough voice on purpose: "This mask is a spiritual weapon refined by myself. It can cover up the appearance. It is much more useful than your Yirong Pill. It can be regarded as a meeting gift for the teacher. When you go out , Don’t take it off casually after wearing it.”

"Master...then you?" Zhong Liqing took the mask that was forced into her hands in surprise, and felt that the tentacles were cold, but as thin as nothing. If it wasn't for the coldness, it would be as if there was nothing in her hands--as expected It is a spirit weapon.

"The cultivation of this seat, who can see through a phantom formation casually? Why worry about it? Take care of yourself. If you are bullied outside, report your name, and if you can't beat it, come back and tell this seat. Do you remember?" Yuan Qiongshuang turned her face sideways and did not want Zhong Liqing to see her face, but the concern inside and outside the words made her mouth curl up - the cold mask in her hand seemed to be burning hot.

"Master, don't worry, there is no one in this world who can bully your disciples without getting hurt." Zhong Liqing put the mask away properly and smiled at her.

"Arrogance... that's fine, you go." Yuan Qiongshuang cursed with a smile, then went to the inner room without looking back.

Zhong Liqing bowed and saluted, and when she was about to exit the inner hall, she raised her head inadvertently, but just caught a glimpse of the face flashing by in the bronze mirror, she couldn't help being stunned, and it took a while to come back to her senses, and said without saying a word left.

——I never expected that Shizun is such a magnificent beauty.

Half a month later, in a small town to the north of Tianhua Kingdom, a man and a woman were sitting around a square table in the only teahouse in the town, drinking the most crude and common weak tea and talking in a low voice.

That girl was born pure and elegant, like an orchid in an empty valley, very beautiful, but the young man sitting next to her was even more attractive - this young man was born very handsome, with sword-like eyebrows slanting into his temples, eyes like cold stars, and a nose like a dangling gall , with a jade face and thin lips, and a coquettish smile, he doesn't look like a warrior knight, but like a handsome young man who is away from home.

This handsome young man is none other than Zhong Liqing.

I'm afraid that the head of the garden who reluctantly gave up the spiritual weapon mask to Zhong Liqing would never have imagined that this girl had no intention of pretending to be low-key, but did the opposite, and disguised herself as an extremely good-looking girl. The young man was even somewhat similar to her own original appearance. He ostentatiously ostentatiously attracted many girls and daughters-in-law.

According to Zhong Liqing's explanation, dressing up as a man in this way is to protect the senior sister from mad bees and butterflies. After all, it is always dangerous for two weak women to walk outside, but a man and a woman are better.

Lu Xianrou thought about it for a while, and accepted her explanation, but she occasionally complained about her disguise - a personality and appearance like a junior sister, I'm afraid it would be more attractive.

But she thought again: Maybe it's because the little girl loves beauty and loves to play, so she pampers her, but she loves her as a little sister in her heart—if Zhong Liqing knows that Lu Xianrou always looks at her lovingly and dotingly Looking at her back, I don't know how upset and discouraged it will be.

After leaving Chonghua, the two of them headed north along the Pu River in Tianhua Kingdom. They stopped and walked for nearly half a month, followed by the residual spiritual energy, and traced all the way to Pujiang Town.

On the way, they passed seven or eight towns and villages. They only heard that many people were missing sporadically, and they disappeared without a sound, as if they disappeared out of thin air.

This unusual disappearance made both of them have an ominous premonition, which accelerated the speed of tracking.

However, when they arrived in this town, the intermittent aura suddenly became stronger, and the two of them did not dare to act rashly, so they fired a signal flare dedicated to connecting with the same sect, and patiently waited for the other elders to gather in the teahouse.

Just as Zhong Liqing was drinking tea with her head down, and letting Lu Xianrou chatter and tell her the action plan of "When the elders come, you must follow her and don't stand out", she saw a man with disheveled hair and ragged clothes crying loudly. The other side of the street came running over, as if something terrible was chasing after him. While running frantically, he kept shouting, "Help! There are monsters! Monsters, monsters are eating people..."

He ran hard, didn't pay attention to the bumps on the ground, stumbled and fell heavily on the ground, his head was bleeding, and his whole body seemed to be falling apart.

He couldn't get up, so he had to crawl on the ground with his hands and feet. His whole body was shrouded in great fear, and his spirit fell into a breakdown for a while.

Zhong Liqing frowned, but saw that Lu Xianrou had already stood up, walked towards the man, dropped a piece of broken silver in a hurry, and chased after him.

I saw Lu Xianrou squatting in front of the man regardless of the dust, pointing to his eyebrows, and injected a spiritual energy of concentration and meditation, which straightened his disordered mind and made him sober up a lot.

"What happened?" Seeing that he finally calmed down, Lu Xianrou asked softly.

"Blood, blood... a lot of blood, the monster, the monster killed people..." When she asked this question, the man seemed to have thought of something terrible, and showed signs of falling into madness.

Lu Xianrou was about to inject spiritual power to sort out his meridians, but saw Zhong Liqing pass her from behind, stretched out her hand suddenly, grabbed the man by the collar, lifted him up, and then grabbed him with the other hand Looking into his eyes, he scolded viciously, "Shut up!"

"Let, let me go..." With her strangling his throat, the man was panting with difficulty, but he was much calmer than before—perhaps because his life was threatened, which made him wake up all of a sudden.

"If you answer truthfully, I will naturally let you go." Seeing his clear eyes, Zhong Liqing loosened the grip between her fingers, but did not let him go, but continued to tug on his collar, and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you, where are you from, what did you see, tell me!"

"The young one is a hunter from Liujia Village. He went to the town to go to the market yesterday and sold the skins he got. Unexpectedly, when he returned to the village the next day, he saw that everyone in the village was dead! All the blood from his body was sucked out. It's gone!" The man choked up as he spoke, with fear in his eyes and a trace of hatred, "I see, it's a banshee in red! She killed the villagers! She took the blood of the villagers. It's all sucked up..."

Zhong Liqing saw that he was about to go crazy again while talking, so she knocked him out with a knife, and put him lightly on the ground, and then gave a few silver coins to the idlers who were watching the excitement, and asked them to help send him to the hospital.

When the crowd dispersed, seeing Lu Xianrou sighed softly, he wanted to talk to her about what happened just now.

She knew that according to Lu Xianrou's temperament, she must accuse her of being ruthless and shouldn't intimidate the Orion. If she scares him into something bad or bad, it will be a crime—she can almost guess what Lu Xianrou is going to say, so it's inevitable have a headache.

After getting along for a long time, I realized that the senior sister is good at everything, but sometimes she just loves to talk too much.

In order to avoid being nagged by her, he hurriedly said before she could speak: "What do you think of the banshee Orion talked about?"

When it came to business, Lu Xianrou's attention was turned away. She frowned, thought for a moment, and then said: "In addition to demons in this world, some demons also like to eat people. If it is true as what Orion said, even if It's not a summoned demon, but it's probably a demon that does all kinds of evil. She started killing people in Liujia Village, and she didn't know how many innocent people died, but I don't know if she can save her in time now..."

"Why don't we go to investigate first, and then make a long-term plan." Zhong Liqing suggested.

"Don't be reckless, you don't know the depth of the other party, and go rashly..." Lu Xianrou immediately objected.

"However, it's too late. I'm afraid there won't be any grass growing in Liu's Village... Besides, we're just going to check outside the village first, leaving marks along the way, and we can adapt accordingly when the time comes. Senior sister, don't worry." Zhong Liqing persuaded road.

Lu Xianrou thought about it for a second, after all she had a compassionate heart, thinking that she might be able to save the survivors, she couldn't help being a little shaken... After repeated assurances from Zhong Liqing, she finally agreed.

——Zhong Liqing is naturally not a righteous man with a lot of sympathy.

The reason why she urged Lu Xianrou to investigate there was that the Orion's description reminded her of a person... maybe it shouldn't be a person.

In this world, other than monsters and demons, there are zombies that feed on blood.

I only hope that she is overthinking.

They rushed all the way towards Liujia Village with Lu Xianrou, and they could smell the disgusting smell of blood a few hundred meters away from the village, and they didn't know how many innocent villagers died inside.

Zhong Liqing saw that Lu Xianrou's expression had darkened, she couldn't help but her heart trembled, and she suggested in a low voice: "Senior sister, I'll stand guard here and wait for reinforcements. How about you go around the edge of the village and go to the other side to find out?"

She knew that Lu Xianrou would definitely not let her go to investigate, so she deliberately made a detour and asked her to investigate, and she was affirmed.

"Okay, you wait for me here, don't run around." Lu Xianrou repeatedly asked.

"Naturally." Zhong Liqing agreed well, and shortly after Lu Xianrou left, she turned around and swept in another direction, quickly approaching the village.

——If it is really Ying Xi, she must try to find her before Lu Xianrou and help her escape.

Going straight towards the most bloody place, until she saw the edge of the Liujia Village, Zhong Liqing suddenly felt a terrifying coercion, she was so shocked that she immediately teleported from the spot and hid in the Among the bushes a few feet away——Since she advanced to Jindan, her teleportation ability has also improved compared to before. Not to mention, the distance of teleportation alone has increased several times, which also It became her life-saving means, extremely useful in times of crisis.

Holding her breath and concentrating, constricting the breath around her to almost nothingness, Zhong Liqing hid in the bushes and looked out quietly.

A red dress fluttered to the ground from the soaring blood, with fluttering sleeves, spotless, and a transparent film covering her body, isolating all filth—maybe that is the woman in red that Orion mentioned. Demon.

She looks the same as a human woman, with black hair like clouds, slender waist, and a slender figure, which is extremely moving, and just a back view is extremely imaginative - this demon is well versed in the way of illusion, she secretly Thinking about it, she saw that red-clothed banshee finally turned her face and taught her to see the front clearly.

The demon is like peach blossoms in March, and it is burning like fire in July.

——What a peerless beauty.

Zhong Liqing thought, if she hadn't known that she was a banshee, she would have been caught off guard... This kind of beauty really has the ability to confuse people's hearts.

Just as she was engrossed in watching, she couldn't help but let out her breath, the banshee raised her eyebrows and glanced at Zhong Liqing, but she didn't see her move, and suddenly a huge force shot Zhong Liqing in her direction .

Without even having time to warn and struggle, Zhong Liqing taught the banshee to strangle her neck.

Facing those soul-stirring eyes, Zhong Liqing couldn't help but smile wryly—it's really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, when she just strangled the Orion, how could she have imagined that she would be choked by someone like this soon? ?

However, the banshee's body smelled good, and it wasn't even tainted with the smell of blood, and the fingertips and palms clutched around her neck were incredibly delicate and soft.

——Zhong Liqing was also surprised that when her life was at stake, she still had the heart to think about these things.

No wonder, this beauty... is really confusing.
