Chapter 116 Flying Sword to Slay the Demon [Happy New Year's Day, 3/3]
Zhaojiacun is a small farm located on the outskirts of Beijing.
The people living here are basically tenants of a certain Wuxun family in Beijing.
Of course, this tenant is not the other tenant. The ancestors of the people who live here are all soldiers who have sacrificed their lives on the battlefield with the duke, and their blood is more or less included in the heavy reward.
When the world is settled and there is no more war, I entrust the kindness of my master to grant him a farm and a house.
In name, he is a tenant, but in fact he is a word trick to evade taxes.
Every year, you only need to send some fresh crops to the host's family in a symbolic way to express your feelings, and the rest will be yours.
After a year of hard work, life has been relatively smooth.
But today, everything has been overturned.
A raging flame ignited from the end of the village and swept through the dry thatch on the roofs of the village. It seemed to be getting out of hand.
The thick smoke, accompanied by the cries of children and the desperate curses of women, became the only melody in the village.
There is a bit of rich blood mixed in, which seems to hint at a tragic scene somewhere.
…
"Happy, happy!"
There were even indistinct chewing sounds in his mouth, and he lifted his head from the chest of a middle-aged man who still had hatred and despair in his eyes until death, and a strange and ugly pig face revealed a cheerful smile.
"Old Changchong, when have we not enjoyed blood food so unscrupulously?"
It was responded to by a rustling sound of scales rubbing against the ground, and a tooth-grinding squeaking sound, as if a fruit can was squeezed due to stress.
A few inhuman corpses were left behind, and traces of government soldiers could still be vaguely seen on their tattered clothes. A three- to four-foot-long black-scaled snake crawled in front of the pig demon with hissing breaths.
"The Imperial Master has warned me a thousand times not to reveal my true identity in front of ordinary people easily, but it's a good idea for you to ignore it."
"If I hadn't taken care of everything for you, if someone got away from it today and ruined the national affairs, I think you have a few kilograms to relieve the old man's anger."
The eyes the size of copper bells showed human emotions, and the snake demon blamed him dissatisfiedly.
"Hey, aren't you here, brother?"
For a moment, bloodthirsty thoughts overcame his rationality. When he woke up, the pig demon had already killed a small village without leaving any trace of chickens or dogs alive.
At this moment, he belatedly remembered the instructions of the Imperial Master, and immediately frightened a lawless demon into a state of fear.
"It's a good chance that I, the old pig, didn't kill these little babies that I ordered to capture. Otherwise, if the imperial master found out, I would have to peel off a layer of my old pig's skin."
"But what you said about Centipede... the national master is true. He left the good-looking demon king alone and insisted on becoming the national master of Lao Shizi in a mortal court, binding himself with human rules. This is not idle and indifferent.
Does it hurt?"
The hoof-like forelimbs patted the bristled chest timidly, and the pig face as big as a door panel showed a tangled look.
"So I am a great demon who is half-detached. You can only lie here and eat and wait to die. A divine figure like the Imperial Master is something that little demons like you and I can speculate about."
He glared at the brainless pig head fiercely, looked around for no one, and moved forward with his head the size of a millstone. In the wary look on the pig demon's face, the snake demon who had been looking like a Sima from before suddenly showed an eager expression.
attitude.
"I was lucky enough to overhear the conversation between the two envoys. Coupled with the few remaining marks in the ancestor's bloodline, the national master... hehe, he probably wants to use the luck of the emperor on earth to forcibly transform into a dragon!"
The snake demon's seriousness was rewarded with an increasingly confused look in the pig demon's eyes.
"Drawing a dragon, what kind of dragon should I draw? That fat guy who is not big enough for me to fill my teeth with can draw a dragon after eating it?"
"..."
I thought that this secret would bring exclamations from my companions, but I never expected such a result. The snake demon was stunned, thinking that he didn't explain it clearly, and regained his patience and added.
"It's not a dragon painting, it's a dragon transformation, the one that turns from a centipede into a dragon, long and thick, and can fly."
The snake demon twisted its body, as if it wanted to give the other party a sign.
After a long time, the pig demon barely understood what his companion wanted to express.
Knowing that transforming into a dragon would give him a chance of transcendence and ascension, blinded by desire, the pig demon immediately expressed excitedly:
"Old Changchong, since transforming into a dragon can help us transcend, why don't we also try to tie up an emperor?"
"Idiot, how can this be so easy!"
"Although the emperor in the human world does not have the Dharma, he is blessed by the luck of the dynasty. Even the great demons in the Dharma Realm will be suppressed and go to the ninth level around him. The meager skills of you and me are not enough to put a wedge between people's teeth.
.”
Really unable to stand the stupidity of the pig head, the snake demon finally fanned the pig demon away with his tail as if to vent his anger.
If it weren't for his plan to use this stupid guy with no brute strength, he wouldn't bother to explain this to the other party.
"That Centipede... No, how could it be done by the Imperial Master? I saw him a few days ago, and there was no trace of his demon power being suppressed at all?"
He rolled and crawled back, with a look of human grievance on his face.
"That's because the Imperial Master has been granted the imperial title and is considered a member of the human dynasty. Naturally, the emperor's dragon energy will not suppress him that much."
"When the imperial master completely grasps the power of the court and the emperor's power is suppressed to the extreme, it will be the time for him to take action. If I am not wrong, that day is not far away."
The snake demon's eyes were dark and filled with infinite admiration and awe.
Dare to risk his own wealth and life to gamble with such a huge human dynasty on the possibility of success. Pudu Cihang's decisiveness and boldness are worthy of his talent.
"ah?"
The pig demon touched his head in confusion. Forgive him for being stupid, but he really couldn't see what had happened in this court.
"Stupid! If it were in the past, the Imperial Master would have dared to let you lawless guys out, and still ask for boys and girls in the local area in such a big way?"
"Isn't this because the old man is already sure that he will succeed?!"
The snake demon poked the pig demon's head with the tip of its tail and scolded.
He began to doubt whether he had made the right decision in finding such a brainless guy.
"Old Changchong, you really are there, why didn't I think of it?"
The pig demon heyed twice without any embarrassment. He scratched his ears and finally asked as if he had enlightened himself.
"But if he becomes a national master, what does it have to do with us?"
"Fool! Can't we follow his example and wait for the next few emperors to do the same thing?"
The snake demon looked at the pig demon with eyes that looked like it was mentally retarded.
"That's right! Why didn't I think of that! Then we can both experience the feeling of transcendence and ascension!"
The pig demon slapped his thigh suddenly and hummed in realization.
It's me, not you!
The snake demon looked coldly at the stupid pig head, without any warmth in his eyes.
He had always planned to use this pig to push the pot in front of him. The luck of a dynasty was definitely not enough for two people to ascend. This brainless idiot should be responsible for his dark-scaled snake demon's path to transcendence.
A stepping stone.
As he was thinking this, the snake demon still put on a friendly face and urged eagerly.
"Just think about it. It's getting late. The Imperial Master wants us to hand over the boys and girls as soon as possible. If it's too late, I don't want to be punished by then, so I'd better go back as soon as possible."
The pig demon was about to agree, when a white light suddenly lit up in his eyes in astonishment, like the sky hanging upside down, and he heard a faint shout coming from the horizon:
"Go back? Let me give you a ride!"
In an instant, the awe-inspiring righteous energy turned into swords that filled the sky, like springs and waterfalls, and rushed towards the two demons overwhelmingly to kill them.
