Becoming a Demon [Comprehensive]

On this day, the two passed a mountain boundary, and here was a big river, and there were many villagers who looked like nearby villagers kneeling by the river.

Shen Luo and the two stopped the car, stood on a high place and looked down, and saw those kneeling people, densely packed together, it looked like there were thousands of people.

Both of them were a little strange, what are these people doing kneeling by the river?

The water in the river was choppy and spacious, and after a while the kneeling was over, these people got up and began to walk back.

After all these people left, there was only one young man lying on the ground crying.

Seeing other people passing by the young man with indifferent expressions, Shen Luo couldn't help becoming curious.

Why do these people bow down here, why does this young man cry so sadly?

Ji Xin eagerly asked, "I'll go over and ask?"

Shen Luo nodded.

They wanted to cross the river and go to the other side of the river. There were no boats here, so they had to ask if there was a boatman nearby who would take them there.

Those people have all retreated, so I can only ask the crying boy.

Ji Xin bounced and ran over, squatting beside the boy.

Not long after, the boy raised his head and answered his words.

After Ji Xin heard it twice, he yelled at Shen Luo, "It's not good, it's not good, a little girl was drowned here just now."

When Shen Luo heard this, he flew over quickly, "What's going on?"

Ji Xin only said in the river: "Those people just now were offering sacrifices to the river god, and this little brother's sister was sunk as a sacrifice."

When Shen Luo heard this, she didn't care to talk to the two of them anymore, she told Ji Xin: "You take care of this little brother here, I'll go into the water to have a look." After she finished speaking, she jumped into the river.

The river was very rough, and Shen Luo had a hard time swimming, but she could still vaguely see the three animals ups and downs in the water. From a distance, she saw the little girl who had passed out in the water, so she rushed over and hugged him.Then use a barrier to separate her from the water.

This is a four or five-year-old girl with an immature face, and her life has just started, so she didn't expect to encounter such a thing.If she hadn't just met him, the child would have died today due to the ignorant mental preparation of those villagers.

Shen Luo got onto the shore with her whole body wet, and she pressed the girl's abdomen with her backhand, and a water arrow shot out of her mouth.

The girl coughed and woke up. The boy on the bank rushed over and hugged the girl, crying as if lost and recovered, "Sister, it's my brother's fault, it's because my brother is too weak to resist them."

The girl opened her eyes weakly, raised her hand to wipe the boy's tears, and called out, "Brother."

Shen Luo couldn't see it, and said directly to the young man: "Hurry up and lead the way, your sister's clothes are still wet, and it's easy to get sick if you stay here any longer."

The young man wiped his tears, and immediately said: "Yes, yes, benefactor, please come with me." He wanted to take his sister, but Shen Luo refused, and said to him: "I will hold her, you are in the front lead the way."

Ji Xin on the side folded his arms, raised his eyebrows and watched the scene, then followed lazily.

When they arrived at the boy's house, the first thing that caught his eye were two broken thatched cottages. The boy led the way and took them to the biggest one.The door was not locked, and when the door was opened, it was very dark inside. The boy rummaged through the box, and finally found a small piece of clothing, which he changed into for his sister.

Shen Luo had already dried the little girl's hair in secret, and the careless little brother put her on the bed after changing her sister's clothes, without noticing this.

The little girl was greatly frightened today, if it wasn't for Shen Luo's force to beat her heart up, the little girl would have entered the gate of hell long ago.

So when she got home and lay on the bed, she seemed to feel safe and fell asleep exhausted.

The young man helped his sister pick up the quilt, and then quietly went out with Shen Luo and the two of them.

As soon as he went out, he fell to his knees with a thump, the corners of his mouth trembling, and tears in his eyes, "Thank you benefactor, thank you benefactor, if it weren't for you, my sister would be gone."

Shen Luo helped him up, sighed, and said, "Can you talk well?"

The boy is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he may still be a carefree middle school student in modern times, and he has already taken on the heavy responsibility of a family.

The young man wiped away his tears, walked quickly to his side, and asked him to pull him up, "Don't just kneel, tell us quickly, what's going on? Why do they use people to sacrifice to the river god? Is there really a river god?"

The boy looked bigger than Ji Xin, but in fact he was very thin, only half a head taller than Ji Xin, and Ji Xin was originally strong, so it didn't take much effort to pull the boy up.

Shen Luo glanced in front of the thatched hut, only under the big tree, there was a thick stump, which was polished smooth, and one could tell that there were people sitting on it from time to time.

She walked over to sit down, and with a sweep of her consciousness, she found that these two thatched huts were at the east end of the whole village, closest to the mountain.The entrance of the village is on the south side. This is not so much the east of the village as it is the most remote place in the village.Look at the two thatched huts again, they are very dilapidated, apparently the siblings were assigned by the villagers twice.

The boy brought them here just now on a small road, and he didn't meet other villagers at all. Obviously, he also understood that if the villagers knew that his sister was not dead, he would throw it again.

Ji Xin led the boy up to Shen Luo, then let him go, and ran to squat down next to Shen Luo.

The young man said to the two: "Since this spring, the river has been flooding frequently. Zhu Po, who was invited from Shanjian City, said that it was the river god who got angry because he couldn't get the sacrifice. If he still can't get satisfaction before the summer comes, If we offered sacrifices, our village would become angry and flood our village. At the beginning, we only offered sacrifices to three animals, but the water in the river was still rising day by day. Later, the old people in the village said that in ancient times, sacrifices were made by people, so the river god was dissatisfied. I want to use human sacrifices. My parents have passed away long ago, and only my sister and I are dependent on each other. In the past, in order to pay off the debt, the land of the family house was transferred to the villagers, so my sister and I had to move here."

As he spoke, the teenager's tears flowed down again, and he was sobbing, thinking of the past and being very sad.Since his parents passed away, he has taken on the responsibility of raising himself and his younger sister.It was the time when the half-grown child was eating my father to death, but he couldn't get enough to eat, so he had to feed his sister.Hard work, but not in exchange for food and clothing.It was nothing at first, but for some reason, when he told his benefactor, he burst into tears as if he had been greatly wronged.

Shen Luo called him to his side and wiped away his tears, "Don't cry, you are a good child." Then she coughed and gave Ji Xin a wink, she really wasn't used to being a close sister thing.

Ji Xin received her gaze, and immediately turned his face aside, what are you kidding, is he the kind of person who can comfort others?

Fortunately, the boy's emotions only went out of control for a while, and he tried to calm down quickly. He wiped his tears and continued with red eyes: "For this sacrifice, they chose my sister and said she was a broom star. He killed my father, and my mother when I was born. So they unanimously chose my younger sister as a sacrifice." In fact, it was just because they were orphans without a father and a mother, so they were easy to bully.

"Originally, I wanted to take my sister to escape, but they locked me up. If the whole village didn't get it from this sacrifice, they wouldn't have taken me there."

Unexpectedly, taking him there was to let him watch his sister being thrown into the river by them. At that time, the young man hated her so much, but he was held down by those people.

Those people let him go until the sacrifice was over.

The young man hated him very much, hated himself for being too weak, and dared not die with them.He also hated himself for being incapable of saving his sister, wishing he could jump into the river and die with his sister.

If Shen Luo and the others hadn't arrived just in time, the boy would not know what to do.

The corner of Ji Xin's mouth twitched, and then asked him, "Then you didn't ask them at the time, since your sister is a bastard, and you sacrifice to the River God, aren't you afraid of the River God's anger?"

"Ah?" The boy was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Shen Luo rolled her eyes and said, "Don't make a fuss." She said to the young man again: "Those people bully you without father and mother, saying that those things are just making excuses. What about Zhu Po? Then Zhu Po said that there is a river god in the water , have you seen it?"

The young man nodded, "At that time, everyone in our village went to see what Grandma Zhu did. There was a white dragon swimming in the river, blocking the downstream outlet, so that the river would flow back."

Saying that it is a white dragon is just an honorary title, but it is actually a carp spirit.

"After Zhuba finished the practice, she left. She said that she couldn't deal with the white dragon, so she had to ask the villagers to sacrifice to it. If they satisfied it, they could ask it to leave."

Shen Luo didn't open his mouth when he heard it, and said in a disdainful tone on the side, "What river god, if my mana was still there, I would have beaten it with bruises all over its head, don't you think it would dare to nest here?"

The boy knew that these two people were unusual, so he didn't speak at this time.

Shen Luo pondered for a while, and then said to the young man, "I can help you drive away that so-called river god, but I don't know what your plans are next?" Can find an excuse to drown his sister.Next time I find an excuse to sacrifice to the mountain god, maybe I will burn it instead.

The young man obviously understood the meaning of Shen Luo's words. He glanced at the direction of the village with hatred in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "I will take my sister and leave, and enter Shanjian City. When I arrive in the city, I will always find a job." Support me and my sister."

Seeing that he was not immersed in hatred, Shen Luo nodded slightly, and then said: "It happens that we are going to the city too, so you can come with us."

This time I met the two brothers and sisters because of destiny, good people will do their best to send the Buddha to the west, so they will send the two brothers and sisters to the city of goodness.

After making a decision, the young man arranged the only money in the family, gathered all the clothes, beds, quilts and food together, and then followed Shen Luo with his sister in his arms.

Shen Luo whistled, and the horse came rattling over in the carriage.

After loading the boy's luggage into the carriage, the group got into the carriage and returned to the river again.

When they reached the river, the carriage stopped.Shen Luo jumped off the carriage and confessed to Ji Xin, "Take care of these two brothers and sisters, I'll go into the water and have a look."

Holding the grass root in his mouth, Ji Xin nodded without raising his eyelids, then pulled the straw hat to cover his eyes, and lay down on the car floor.

In the carriage, the boy hugged his sister and stared at Shen Luo nervously. Shen Luo nodded to him, turned and walked towards the river.

This is a big river with high mountains on both sides. The river is very wide and the water is very fast. There are hidden reefs everywhere. If you are not familiar with the water conditions, the boat may be carried by the current and hit the hidden reefs as soon as you step into the water.

Now that the brothers and sisters were already planning to send them to Shanjian City, it was not a big deal if they couldn't cross the river. The boy said that the water in Shanjian City was much gentler, and it was easier to cross the river from there than from here.

It was just an extra journey, so Shen Luo made up his mind to go to Shanjian City first.

Shen Luo didn't intend to kill, she planned to discuss with the underwater creature called the River God whether she could move down from the nest.

Of course, if you don't agree, it will be calculated separately.

Her attitude is so good, mainly because she thinks that the river god is not an evil thing, at least she doesn't feel evil, and the sacrifice of living people is just the villagers' arbitrariness here, so she really didn't plan to talk to the river god here. Start playing as soon as you come up.

Shen Luo stood by the river, sweeping down through the river with her spiritual sense, and the river below her, she kept probing down, and this probing alarmed a certain existence below.

A two-story-tall giant carp emerged from the bottom of the water and floated its head to the surface. When it saw Shen Luo, it asked, "You dryad, why did you wake me up to sleep?"

Shen Luo obviously didn't expect that the white dragon the boy was talking about was a carp, she cupped her hands and said, "Excuse me, are you the river god here?"

This carp does have divinity, and Shen Luo's expression is hard to fathom. Could it be that this carp is about to turn into a dragon?

Carp whiskers scurrying in the water, "So what? Why are you looking for me?"

Shen Luo asked, "You are actually a river god. You should know that the villagers here worship you. Why don't you stop them from using people to sacrifice you?"

The carp floated in the water, its huge tail flapped, and a huge wave was set off. It hummed: "Sapling, you are too much."

Shen Ruo asked again, "Aren't you afraid of being robbed by lightning when you jump over the Dragon Gate?"

The carp replied: "This is a voluntary act of human beings. I didn't force them. I don't care if some of them come to sacrifice to me. What's more, many people die in the river every year. If I can save them all, then I still have time." Do you practice?"

In short, what he meant by this was that it was nothing to die a few people, as long as he didn't delay his cultivation.

Shen Luo felt a little helpless, not to mention these mountain gods Hebo, even monsters, they didn't take human beings seriously.

Fortunately, in this world, everyone is not so rampant, even if they swallow a person, it is done quietly.

Shen Luo advised again: "If you want to leap to the Dragon Gate, you'd better do more good deeds and have merit. Otherwise, no matter how good your cultivation is, it won't help you."

The carp shook its head, obviously knowing that Shen Luo had good intentions, and sprayed water on her, Shen Luo dodged, and saw that the place where she was standing was wet, and three or five pearls the size of fists were shining brightly in the sun. Hui.

"This is a thank you gift, I will try to do it according to your method." Carp is also well-informed, and after being touched by Shen Luo, a layer of veil seemed to be lifted in his mind.Originally, he always felt that something was missing, but only then did he realize that it turned out that he lacked the companionship of merit.It's no wonder that the first two leaps to the dragon gate, I always couldn't jump past the entrance.

After the carp finished speaking, it shook its giant tail and dived into the water.

Shen Luo hurriedly shouted, "Water level, don't forget that the water level has dropped."

Seeing that the water was turbid for a while, Shen Luo's spiritual sense swept it away, and it turned out that the rise in the water level was not caused by the carp, but because there was too much silt in the water, which caused the water level to rise sharply.

The carp was sweeping up the mud with its tail, and the water rushed downstream with the mud, and soon the water level here dropped, and the carp shook its tail and buried its body in the mud again to practice.

Shen Luo picked up a few pearls on the ground and walked towards the carriage.

Carp communicates with Shen Luo through Yuanshen, and Jixin can see it, but it doesn't mean that the young man can also see it.

So when Shen Luo came back, he was looking at her eagerly, Shen Luo nodded to him, and said with a smile: "It's resolved. The river god here is very kind, and he has already let the water level drop."

The young man didn't really believe it, after all he didn't see Shen Luo doing like Zhu Po, how could the River God come out if he didn't do it.

Shen Luo seemed to see his suspicion, moved away, and asked him to look at the river, "Look, has the water level dropped?"

Seeing that the water level had dropped a lot, the boy rubbed his eyes with an expression of disbelief. He only saw Shen Luo standing by the water for a while, but he didn't expect the water level to drop so much in such a short time.

"Immortal, you must be an immortal!" The young man threw himself at Shen Luo's feet. "God, please teach me spells, I want to become a master, and my destiny is in my own hands."

With a move from Shen Luo, the boy stood up involuntarily, his eyes became brighter.

Shen Luo shook her head, "I'm not a god, I just have some Taoism." Then she got into the car and gave Ji Xin a kick, "Get up, hurry up."

The young man felt a little sad, he climbed into the car silently, and instead of getting into the car, he just sat outside the car with Ji Xin.

A group of people set out on the road, and glanced at the young man anxiously. He smiled and said, "Find that cold-hearted woman to learn spells. He can't teach you spells. Why don't you ask me to be your teacher, and I'll teach you both."

The young man took a look at Ji Xin, then shook his head, his mouth was tightly pressed together, "Little brother, don't joke, if she doesn't agree, I'll just keep begging her."

Ji Xin looked at her short figure, and couldn't help feeling irritable, you deserved to follow that woman and turn backwards.

Shanjian City is located on the Erhai Lake. It is connected to Canglan in the west, Erhai Lake in the east, and the rolling Tianhuan Mountain in the north and south.

Shanjian City is famous for its witches, and it is the holy city of witches in the world.

As soon as you enter Shanjian City, you can see that the wind of witchcraft is very popular here, and there are ghost masks and wooden carvings of ghosts and gods everywhere.

In the center of the city is a towering tree. This tree is so huge that it is bigger than Shen Luo's body. There are wooden plaques hanging on the branches and trunks of the shorter branches. Hanging witch card.

All this was told to Shen Luo by the young man. The young man said that every year on the birthday of the witch god, people from a hundred miles around would gather in Shanjian City.Open a temple fair that lasts for ten days.

Shen Luo was only interested in that tree, because she found that that tree had been cultivated for ten thousand years. Compared with this tree, her body was still a small tree.

"Shanjian City first had this sacred tree, and then there was Shanjian City. It is said that before ancient times, a group of people with the blood of the witch clan were chased by the monster clan and came to this tree. They were protected by this tree, and they escaped. After being chased and killed by the monster clan, he lived next to this tree, and gradually developed into a village, and then went to Shanjian City. For the witch clan in Shanjian City, this tree is like their parents. No one is allowed to approach, only the pure holy sons and saints can hang their witch cards on it when they are saluting, in order to seek the blessing of the holy tree." Seeing that Shen Luo was interested in this tree, the young man told him everything he knew to the tree. She shook out.

Shen Luo thought to herself, no wonder, she said how could there be witches in this world, it turned out that they were half-bloods preserved by this tree.

The real witches all retreated to the land of the Nine Nethers, and there was no trace of them on the earth.

At this time, Jixin tried hard to conceal his existence. Shanjian City did not welcome monsters. This is probably a problem left over from history. Time has worked together.But after all, there was a bloody feud, and the immortal clan was not allowed to walk on the earth. The cooperation between the two ended immediately, and they returned to a state of hostility.

In fact, Erhai Lake is a gathering place for aquatic monsters, Canglan is a gathering place for earth monsters, and Shanjian City is between the two.

After all, the biggest backer of Shanjian City is a tree demon, but this tree demon has already cultivated as an earth immortal, so he can't be regarded as a demon.

I found an inn, and Shen Luo planned to stay there, but the young man was unwilling to take advantage of Shen Luo, but he didn't have much savings, so he couldn't afford an inn, so he hugged his sister and wanted to go to the nearby witch temple. Borrow.

Shanjian City has set up many similar witch temples, all of which receive poor people and provide one meal a day.

It can only provide food and clothing, but it is enough to keep people alive.

Seeing this, Shen Luo drove the carriage to the witch temple he mentioned.

The Witch Temple is not very big, but only three large rooms. There are many wooden beds in the room. Some beds are covered with bedding, indicating that there are people, while others have only bare wooden boards, indicating that there are vacancies.Seeing the vacant seat, the young man happily said to Shen Luo: "I didn't expect there to be a bed. When I came to the temple fair before, I could only make do on the ground for one night."

Shen Luo scanned around and found that he was sleeping with several people on the bed. When the young man saw Shen Luo's eyes, he said with helplessness in his eyes: "Not everyone is willing to go out to work, although there are not many in the witch temple for the time being. , but it can always keep people alive.” This also nourished a group of lazy people who only lived by relying on witch temples.

Shen Luo shook his head, "Why are you still taking your sister to find a job? Are you putting your sister in this place? Can you rest assured?"

The boy hesitated a little, but then his eyes became firm, "I will take my sister with me."

Shen Luo looked at him and said, "So, don't you want to learn Taoism from me? Follow me, I will give you ten days, if you can get started, I will accept you."

The boy's eyes widened excitedly, "Really?" He picked up his sister, and said to Shen Luo, "I'm willing to go with you." It turned out that he left wisely because his benefactor didn't intend to accept him.

Unexpectedly, when things turned around, the benefactor let go.

Shen Luo nodded, "Okay, let's go, Jixin is still outside."

This time, Shen Luo didn't stay in the hotel, but rented a small yard.In fact, she has long thought of accepting the young man. This young man has a mellow temperament, so she doesn't have to worry about causing harm to the world if she teaches him.

Of course, the most important thing is that she stayed here to get close to that sacred tree. This tree must know a lot, and she wanted to ask if Qingqiu Kingdom was in this world.
