Humanoid weapons laid-off and re-employment
Chapter 66
The millennium dojo of the Xia family was built by the head of the Xia family at the peak of his search for geniuses and earth treasures. Its formation is called 'Starry Sky', and there are 28 earth spirits to suppress it, which can suppress one's luck.
It was reopened after hundreds of years of silence, and the Xia Family Dojo was not seized by anyone, but was firmly held by the successor. Now it suppressed a natural god. Ambitious other demons below.
The demons of Xia Kingdom began to spontaneously search for traces of demons.
But Xia Ye didn't expect that the first demon to come was a woman in red. She looked extremely sweet, but her face was pale and red, and she looked like a ghost haunting a movie no matter what.
And she is indeed the evil spirit of people.
The feudal society eats people, especially women, and she is the remaining resentment of those daughters.This resentment is too heavy, it has been accumulated for thousands of years, and now it can't be resolved, and it has become such a monster.
"Little brother, why are you staring straight at sister like this?" She lightly tapped Xia Ye's shoulder with her red-painted nails, and then winked at him, "Little pervert."
Xia Ye didn't dare to admit these words, most people would die if they touched this girl.
She is her daughter's resentment, her daughter's hatred, all hatred that cannot be vented.
She was a baby girl who was thrown into river ponds, toilets, under trees, and pits when she was just born.
She is a sister who sells her blood and flesh to feed her parents and brothers.
She is a wronged soul who was thrown into a river in a pig cage with her mouth tied.
She is the living dead under the stone archway.
Xia Ye looked at her, and she smiled sweetly, her pale skin looked like a water ghost.In ancient times, if a family wanted to make a fortune, they would accuse the widowed woman of misbehavior and infidelity.In this way, the woman can be immersed in the pig cage, and the family property can be divided with peace of mind.Is this how the skin of this body came about?
Thinking about this question, Xia Ye took a look at the gift she brought, it was a meat ball, the skin was good, but the internal organs and bones inside were broken into foam.Most people would have died long ago, but this is a ghost.
The newly repaired sanatorium on the mountain has its first resident, an evil spirit, the famous poisonous lady "Honggu".
The news spread quickly.
"Is it really a central location? Don't pick people?" The powerless monsters were even more excited.In the human world, this is a year of teaching by a famous teacher. The famous teacher can be chosen by himself, and it is free.
Bai Ze in Haitou City was shaking the blood solution left by the ghost before the mutation. He didn't know what was added to it, and it kept emitting golden light rhythmically.One breath, one light, one light, like a living thing.
He smashed the glass reagent bottle, and all the flowing liquid in it flew out. It turned out to be tiny Gu worms, the tips of their tails gave off a golden shimmer.
"Follow it to find it... This time, but he took the initiative to invite me in, how can I disappoint him?"
Two days later, Jiang Feng found three second-generation demons in a string at the door. They did not know where they were caught, but they were still in disheveled clothes.One of them had a piece of paper pasted on his forehead: For Xia Ye.
"I don't know who sent it, and there is no message left."
"If it was Xing Luo, he would write 'Xiao Ye' as a gift, so it's Yan Li, right?" Xia Ye sold them to the Ministry of Special Security for 100 million each.
After that, other warlocks or demons sent the ghosts over one after another, and all of them changed their residence rights for ten years.
Xia Guo's big move naturally attracted attention. People from other countries also found traces of ghosts, but they didn't take this matter to heart.
"It's because Xia Kingdom is too weak. Whether it's people or weapons, I heard that they still use the oldest weapons? No wonder they tremble with fright at the slightest sign of trouble, but it's easy to solve it here. We only need a demon-destroying bullet. Don't take it seriously."
Warlocks in other countries laughed at them for not having seen the world, and made a fuss.
"Don't pay attention to what other people say." Bai Lian walked into the office of the headquarters of the Special Security Department, stepping on his shoes.
The regional team leaders who came to the meeting stood up one after another: "I have met the minister."
Bai Lian walked to the desk, and she put down the document in her hand: "Open Xia Guo's enchantment. This is... everyone's decision."
Southeast Xia's house, Xia Ye stood in the yard with his hands in warm gloves: "It's so cold today."
This winter will probably be an 'eventful winter'.In addition to the demons and ghosts on the bright side, there are also fake flower gods in the dark.
Not many people know about the Fake Flower God. In order to avoid news leaks, only a few people know the exact news.But during the census, news of fake flower gods will also be checked by the way.
Judging from the current situation, the ghost's matter is more serious.But in the long run, the fake flower god is the mine left by the Virgin Mary, and it will explode if you are not careful.
The simultaneous appearance of these two in the Xia Kingdom is a huge trouble for the Xia Kingdom, and they have to be treated with caution.
The sum of the two is enough for the warlocks of the Xia Kingdom to suffer. If there are foreign forces making trouble, things will be even more troublesome.Everyone has never dared to underestimate the ability of foreign forces to do bad things, but the facts always tell them that they still overestimate the bottom line of other people's morality.
In addition, the number of ghosts is so large in the Xia Kingdom, and there will be no fewer in other countries. Don't expect that the Xia Kingdom has been cleaned up, but there will be foreign imports mixed in.
"So, open the enchantment of the Xia Kingdom, and dojos from all over the world come to help us suppress luck." Minister Bai Lian immediately contacted the heads of each dojo, and after some exchanges of interests that could not be done for outsiders, everyone agreed In order to open the enchantment, and dojo suppression.
Minister Bailian has a very good saying: "A contagious disaster is like a wildfire. You don't need to think about it. Remember to solve it quickly. The sooner it is extinguished, the less loss will be lost."
Summer night in the yard, waiting for the sun to set, and a golden twilight moment appears in the sky and the earth.
It was already very cold, and the breath he exhaled would turn into white mist. He looked up and watched the sun slowly set, and the waiting time seemed extremely difficult.
The phone ding-dong twice, he took his hand out of the warm gloves and picked up the phone.
It turned out that the Alliance of Celestial Masters was discussing why several ashrams in the north suddenly made big moves.
Those dojos are controlled by powerful forces among the warlocks, and the composition of the forces is relatively complicated. It is also very troublesome to make a decision, unlike the single man Xia Ye who makes the decisions alone.So these dojos will not make any actions casually, but today they suddenly have a big movement, ordinary people may not be able to feel it, but warlocks can feel it all at once.
"Is there something big going on that we don't know about?"
The forum of the Alliance of Heavenly Masters was flooded with all kinds of strange and unimaginable speculations.Some speculate about a warlock war on a national level, others speculate about an alien civilization invasion, and of course many more combine this with the 'in danger in the southeast' prophecy a few months ago.
"You don't need to guess," Xia Ye typed on the phone, "It's about demons and ghosts. Do you think the people around you are people or ghosts?"
Honglian's post was directly on the top with a celebrity halo, the forum was quiet for two seconds, and rows of 'group photos' were posted below, 'Are ghosts really that dangerous? ' and the like are flooded with normal comments.
"Host, the time is up." The system reminded him.
Xia Ye raised his head slightly, and he could see that half of the sky was a cold gray-blue, and the other half was a receding orange-yellow.
The scroll of the dojo array unfolded in front of him, dragons and phoenixes roamed about in the picture, and the Holy Mother of Heaven looked up and sneered inside.
"It looks like you're in trouble, Red Lotus, or Summer Night?" The Heavenly Mother, who was sitting cross-legged, stood up, but she didn't move, because this square inch was the only place where she could move.
"Have you recovered?" Xia Ye smiled.
The Holy Mother of Heaven snorted coldly: "Hide your head and show your tail, treacherous person."
Xia Ye smiled, and didn't care about his defeated opponents. He tapped his finger lightly, and picked up a ray of afterglow from the east. Using his two fingers as a brush, he drew a spirit pattern.To put it bluntly, a map is formed in the hand.
The Holy Mother of Heaven looked up at him, and saw that the center of his brow was split, and light gushed out, and a light-colored ball of light came out of his body, and the Holy Mother of Heaven took a few steps back in horror.
Practitioners like them will not be easily confused by appearances. Although this light man is covered with golden brilliance, his body is full of hostility and killing aura.She is a natural god, so this person should be a natural Shura, born with war and killing.
"Who are you? Who are you?" The Holy Mother asked repeatedly.
Xia Ye ignored it. He communicated with the earth and demanded to exercise power: "My will is the will of this land. The sun sets in the west, and the stars should rise."
The remaining clouds in the sky dissipated in the blink of an eye, and the earth hummed in the westerly wind.
The residents of Guli Town raised their heads: "Is it dark so early today?" After that, they packed up their things and went back to the house.
But the monsters came out of the house at this time, and they saw pillars of golden light soaring into the sky, shattering the depressed dark sky.
"My voice is the voice of this land. The southeast Taoist temple is connected with the lifeline of the Xia Kingdom, and all will prosper, and all will suffer together."
They saw that the beam of light changed shape and formed wonderful runes in the air. The earth and the sky seemed to be talking, you come and go, and the beam of light was the medium.
"Now it's the southeast dojo's turn, what are they doing?" Those who knew thought to themselves.
"What the hell are you..." The Holy Mother of Heaven watched the ball of light return to her body, as if sheathing a knife, sheathed her sharp edge, "What is it?"
"It is something with the same destiny as you, but you have betrayed your destiny, and I have betrayed it." Xia Ye said to the Holy Mother of Heaven.
One of them is outside the formation, one is within the formation, one is big and the other is small, but at this moment, they are truly talking as equals.The arrogance of the Holy Mother of Heaven does not allow her to bow her head to humans, but at this time she is looking squarely at Xia Ye.
"Is something like human beings worth saving?" The Holy Mother of Heaven looked up at him, "You said I didn't try hard, I tried, but! But no! Every year, every day, every new person, I I was given a chance, again and again, day after day, today repeating yesterday, I am tired."
"I know that things like saving people will be tiresome. I also thought about it, just destroy it as they wish, and it doesn't take much effort to stand on the sidelines." Xia Ye said flatly.
"But there are so many people in this world who hurt others as a matter of course, and there are also those who have to hug drowning people to rush out of despair because they can't save people. So I think, don't worry about those people who do evil. Well, just keep their years quiet for the latter.
"There are so many reasons for doing evil. After all, human beings are beasts. So those who can overcome the nature of beasts and live hard, should also be rewarded like this?"
The Holy Mother of Heaven looked at Xia Ye's smiling face in surprise, the smile was very pure, a warm smile that did not match the hostility at all.She forgot how long she hadn't seen such a warm smile. All those who asked for her, no matter how beautiful the smile, were all greed, jealousy and hatred behind it.
"It's a pity," the Holy Mother wanted to laugh, but found that she had forgotten what laughter was all about, "I haven't met you before. If I knew of the existence of people like you, I might like this world a little bit. And All I want now is for humans to disappear."
Xia Ye rolled up the scroll, he never thought about it, nor would he try to convince the Holy Mother of Heaven.Thousands of years of obsession has become a part of her, if the obsession is gone, I'm afraid it's time for people to disappear too.
"It's a pity." He said, but he didn't know what he was pitying.
The re-opening of the southeast dojo was far less shocking than the first time, but because all the surviving dojos in Xia Kingdom were opened on the same day, the popularity on the Internet was extremely high.They were really curious, what kind of trick Xia Guo was trying to make.
As we all know, there is no connection between the several dojo occupants, and there is little friendship, so once they act together, it means that something big will happen.
Sure enough, at night, something that really stunned Xia Guo warlocks and demons happened—the Xia Guo enchantment, which had disappeared for hundreds of years because of the exhaustion of spiritual energy, was actually opened? !
The enchantment has no entity, and it cannot prevent anyone from entering or leaving. What it can block are some non-scientific forces, and the other is to locate illegal entry demons.So many people's immediate reaction when they saw the enchantment was: Which country are the Warlocks of Xia Kingdom going to war with?
The Ministry of Special Security immediately refuted the rumors: there is no such thing, the main purpose is to concentrate on dealing with domestic ghosts.
For the legendary ghosts that are highly contagious and like to hunt and kill civilians, other countries are not as violent as Xia Guo. They don't believe that Xia Guo decided to open a country barrier just for this symptom.
"There must be some conspiracy."
The author has something to say: foreign countries at this moment: open the enchantment?On behalf of Xia people, we want to condemn you for disrespecting demon power!
Later foreign countries: Baba loves me again!
It was reopened after hundreds of years of silence, and the Xia Family Dojo was not seized by anyone, but was firmly held by the successor. Now it suppressed a natural god. Ambitious other demons below.

Summer night in the yard, waiting for the sun to set, and a golden twilight moment appears in the sky and the earth.
