Part 5, Chapter 44: Zhang Xiu and Qinghu Demon God
Blue Star, Xu Jingming's home, evening.
The irrigation system in the courtyard is spraying water mist, covering the lawn. Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao are playing with their daughter Xu Lixing. Although Xu Lixing is petite, she has extraordinary physical fitness and is jumping on the steps of the fountain in the courtyard.
Jumping two steps at a time, quickly jumped to the top, and then jumped completely down. Then slowly jumped up again. "Baby, aren't you tired?" Li Miaomiao asked helplessly.
"Not tired." Xu Lixing jumped more and more vigorously. It was late July now, and even in the evening, the temperature was over 30 degrees. Xu Lixing was sweating all over his body from dancing, but he was still jumping vigorously.
"She's crazy because of people." Li Miaomiao said helplessly to Xu Jingming, "Normally she's not this crazy. Today you came out to play with her, and she was obviously much more excited."
Xu Jingming looked at his daughter jumping and couldn't help but smile, and said softly: "I spend too little time with our daughter. From now on, I have to go offline often to spend time with you and our daughter."
"Your matters are more important." Li Miaomiao said.
"Fortunately, time is not so tight recently." Xu Jingming said, "And the path of evolution also requires proper rest and not being nervous all the time." Study "Light Chapter" and work hard to cultivate to the original life. This cannot be achieved overnight.
It will take a long time. Of course, you need to take a proper rest after such a long time.
After hearing this, Li Miaomiao's eyes lit up and she felt very happy: "Okay, if you spend more time with your daughter, she will be happy too." "Dad, I jumped a hundred times in a row." Xu Lixing ran over excitedly, "It's awesome.
"
Looking at his daughter whose hair was completely wet with sweat, Xu Jingming hugged her directly and said, "It's amazing. Our daughter will also become a powerful evolver in the future." "Yeah."
Xu Lixing snorted happily.
After spending the night with his family, Xu Jingming went online again and entered the world of demon-slaying.
"Let's start refining the demon that patrols the city." Xu Jingming was in very good condition at the moment and was full of fighting spirit. He took out the jade bottle in his arms and uncorked it. "This is the first thing I have refining when I enter the world of demon-slaying."
Earth Demon." Xu Jingming opened his mouth and sucked.
The magic power wrapped around the wisp of natal demonic energy in the jade bottle and entered Xu Jingming's mouth. As soon as it entered, this obsession immediately integrated into Xu Jingming's mind and consciousness, and was remembered in Xu Haoming's consciousness.
Zhang Xiu is a native of Cheng'an Prefecture.
His father was a leader of the "Sanshui Gang" in Fucheng. When Zhang Xiu was young, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother loved their children and had no worries about food and clothing. But starting from the age of six, Zhang Xiu had to learn martial arts!
Learning martial arts is hard.
At the beginning, Zhang Xiu was still somewhat spiritual, and she made rapid progress. Her father praised her, and her mother loved her even more.
But gradually, martial arts came to a standstill and it was difficult to make progress. No matter how hard he practiced, he gained nothing, and Zhang Xiu was no longer willing to practice. His father angrily and his mother scolded him, forcing Zhang Xiu to practice martial arts, but the effect of force was very poor.
Zhang Xiu ignored the angry scoldings and even whippings. In the end, her parents were completely disappointed and focused on the third child.
Zhang's father has three sons and three daughters in total. All of his children practice martial arts, but the only one who is talented and able to endure hardships is the third child! Father and mother focus on training the third child. They don't care much about the other sons and daughters.
Zhang Xiu was a little disappointed. He envied his third brother for being favored by his parents, but on the other hand, he also felt relaxed. No one cared about him and he was free. When he was sixteen, his father asked him to work for the Sanshui Gang.
In the gang, he suffered a lot and saw the horror of people's hearts! Only then did he truly understand his father's painstaking efforts! In this world, getting started in martial arts... whatever you do will go smoothly. Whether you enter the government or a gang, you will be reused.
But it is too difficult for an ordinary person to be in a gang.
After his father died due to a gang conflict, Zhang Xiu's life in the gang became even more difficult! Before, others were more restrained because of his father's face. But now they have completely trampled him under their feet and stepped on him into the cesspool!
After experiencing all this, Zhang Xiu changed. He sharpened his head and climbed up! He wanted to be a master! He didn't want to be stepped on by others anymore! He was flattering and good at coaxing people.
At the age of thirty-two, he also became a middle-ranking member of the gang. Later, he lost his life while escorting goods.
"I haven't climbed to the top yet. I'm not stronger than my third brother. I'm not willing to accept it. But who would have thought that I would become a demon after death." Zhang Xiu laughed, "Becoming a demon is really enjoyable.
ah.
"My third brother trembled in front of me. He had never been so respectful before. I ate him in one bite." "The superior gang leader knelt down in front of me and was willing to be a slave, but I treated him like a slave."
Slap him to death!"
Zhang Xiu looked at Xu Jingming, "I have become an earth demon and even took the initiative to serve as a city patrol! In the entire city, there are many big families and gangs who have to look at my face, flatter me and obey my orders."
"In the entire Cheng'an Mansion, the Demon God of Qinghu is my best friend, and even many demons treat me respectfully."
"Hahaha, it feels so good to be so high above me and see those people kneeling in front of me, so good." Zhang Xiu said, "Mr. Wu Ming, isn't the feeling of power wonderful? The feeling of standing out, isn't it?
Cool?"
Xu Jingming looked at him for a long time before saying, "But you have become a demon." "So what if you become a demon?"
Zhang Xiu said excitedly, "As long as I am high up and have great power, and let all living beings kneel down in front of me...to become a demon? I will be happy instead." "People, it's okay to have power." Xu Jingming looked at him, "But you can't be blinded by power.
"Blinded your eyes? No, I'm fine! It feels good to be a demon." Zhang Xiu said. Xu Jingming shook his head: "When you become a demon, the first person you look for is your three
younger brother!"
"Yes, so what if he is accomplished in martial arts? He trembled in front of me. I ate him in one bite." Zhang Xiu's eyes were full of madness.
"You are envious of him, don't deny it." Xu Jingming said, "I saw your memory. When your father and mother stopped caring about you and focused on cultivating your third brother, you were very disappointed and envious of your third brother."
Zhang Xiu was stunned.
"You joined the gang. Although you suffered hardships, your father took care of you in the photo." Xu Jingming said, "You yourself also realized this later! After your father died, you fell into the gang and took refuge.'
Zhang Xiu was silent.
"So you got out of your way and immediately went to your father's grave to get drunk. In your heart, you really want your father to be alive and see you become successful one day." Xu Jingming said, "You really want to prove it in front of your father.
yourself."
Zhang Xiu nodded slightly: "I admit, I want him to see me stand out and see that I am much better than the third child! I like the feeling of standing out! I like the feeling of being high up!" "Don't be blinded by the world of mortals, be careful.
Think about it, what do you really want in your heart?" Xu Jingming said.
"If I exchanged the carefree life of father's approval and mother's pampering with the life of becoming a devil and aloof, would you be willing to do so?" Xu Jingming asked, "Ask your heart, would you be willing to exchange?"
Zhang Xiu was stunned.
Father's approval, mother's love, carefree life? What a long-lasting memory. Those were the best days. My father blocked the ups and downs and cared for myself with my mother. "You should understand what you really long for in your heart." Xu
Jing Ming said.
Zhang Xiu's obsession was trembling. He understood that what he longed for most was not power, but the happy and carefree days when his father approved of his mother's love. When he denied the obsession in his heart, the obsession began to collapse.
Zhang Xiu murmured: "Since when did the only thing in my heart was to stand out? Only to stand above everyone else?" "Me, I also ate my third brother, yes, I was controlled by obsession, I became
Mo. Zhangxiu suddenly woke up at this moment. His whole body seemed to wake up from a dream.
"Take control of your heart." Xu Jingming looked at him, "Don't be controlled by desire and become its puppet." "Thank you." Zhang Xiu said softly, "But I can't go back to the past." His persistence
His thoughts collapsed. Xu Jingming, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes and felt very complicated.
"Desire is the driving force for people's struggle, even the driving force for human struggle." Xu Jingming said, "But if you don't control desire, but are controlled by desire... that would be terrible." Xu Jingming said silently. Control.
Those who desire are humans. Those who are controlled by desires are demons.
In terms of spiritual desires, Xu Jingming's cognition is also clearer, and it is more deeply imprinted in his consciousness, and his spiritual consciousness is naturally stronger. "Squeak."
Xu Jingming stood up and opened the door. It was already dawn, and there was already a glimmer of red light in the eastern sky.★****
To the east of Fucheng, there is a towering mountain more than 800 miles away.
"Master, Master." An old woman turned into mist and flew into a pavilion. Inside the pavilion, there was a woman in red painting leisurely. "Master." After the old woman landed, she saluted respectfully.
"What are you so worried about?" The woman in red looked at the old woman.
"City patrol envoy Zhang Xiu is dead." The old woman said, and respectfully handed a roll of paper to the woman in red. Huh?
The face of the woman in red changed slightly. She took the rolled up paper and slowly unfolded it. She looked at it and frowned slightly, "Wu Ming, the demon slayer? Where is this newcomer who is so ruthless?" "Master, what should we do?"
?" asked the old woman.
"Zhang Xiu is also diligent in his work." The woman in red shook her head, "But the demon-slayer Wu Ming and the head of the Qi family "Qi Chen" seemed to have an unusual relationship. After Qi Chen arrived, Zhang Xiu was killed." "Yes."
The old woman nodded, "They are brothers, and their relationship is extraordinary."
"Fucheng belongs to the world of demon-slayers." The woman in red said leisurely, "It's not worth the risk for a dead Zhang Xiu." "Forget it?" the old woman asked.
"Don't Zhang Xiu have many friends? Pass the news to the other demon gods and all the messengers," the woman in red said. The old woman asked, "Do you want to report it to the mountain master?"
"The mountain master has to manage trivial matters, so all the affairs in the government are left to me." The woman in red said, "Why would he care about the life and death of a city patrol?" The old woman nodded slightly: "I understand.
.”
My master is the blood-clothed demon god among the five demon gods, and the real manager of Dongming Mountain!
The news quickly spread to many earth demons, but "Demon-Buster Wu Ming" was more powerful than Zhang Xiu and had a special relationship with the head of the Qi family. He still lived in Fucheng. These earth demons were not willing to take risks.
After fighting for so many years, the demons have only taken over half of the world! In the city where demon-slayers gather, the demons need to be careful when doing things." Huahuahua~~ Cheng'an Mansion, Qinghu Lake is rippling.
Qinghu is more than a hundred miles wide, and there are hundreds of thousands of people living in Qinghu around it. In this area, the most famous person is not the government or the demon-slayer, but the master of Qinghu, the Qinghu Demon God!
"My brother Zhang Xiu is dead?" Qinghu Demon God had cold eyes and a birthmark on his face. He looked at the letter in his hand angrily. "Master Demon God?" The subordinate who sent the letter was a little confused. "You go down first." Qinghu
The devil waved his hand, and he sat alone in the temple, staring at the letter.
"Brother Zhang Xiu and my best friend dare to kill him, they are just slapping me in the face." Qinghu Demon God had murderous intent in his eyes, "This demon-slayer Wu Ming deserves to be killed!" Qinghu Demon God's murderous intent was overwhelming, but he was still very angry.
Calm down, "These demon-slayers are very cunning. They might lay a trap for me to get into." Over the years, the battles with demon-slayers have made Qinghu Demon God more cautious.
"Furthermore, he has an unusual relationship with the head of the Qi family, and it is entirely possible to mobilize experts to ambush him." Qinghu Demon God thought, "But... I won't be happy if I don't kill Wu Ming, the ambush man!" Qinghu Demon God has a strong murderous intention.
.
"If they lay an ambush, they will be very patient at first, but as time goes on, those masters will not be able to keep guard all the time." Qinghu Demon God thought, "Well, I will wait for more than three months before taking action."
"I don't believe it. More than three months later, the demon slayer is still ambushing you!"
The more the Qinghu Demon thought about it, the smarter he felt, "After more than three months, I won't be able to enter Wu Ming's residence! I have to wait for him to come out, wait for him to be outside, and I will choose the place and time to strike."
Once you take action, you can eliminate the demon-slayer Wu Ming within ten breaths."
"Then he quietly left the city with the help of the water movement technique." Qinghu Demon God was very satisfied, "My plan is very good, and there should be no flaws." That's it!" Qinghu Demon God made a decision. - One day passed.
.
"The city patrol envoy Zhang Xiu also said that he has many friends, and the Demon God of Qinghu is his best friend. Unfortunately, these demons seem to be unwilling to avenge him." Chief Qi Chen, who had been waiting for the opportunity to take action, sat boredly on the recliner.
Reading, "Looks like I've been waiting in vain."
Patriarch Qi Chen is also very helpless. If the earth demons don't come, he can't force them. --- In Xu Jingming's house. "Chichichi.'
Wisps of sun rays gathered from everywhere, making the roof tiles become dazzling with golden light. The power of the sun penetrated the tiles and entered the house, falling into Xu Jingming's body sitting cross-legged on the bed.
The continuous power of the sun was continuously absorbed into the body, causing the magic power in the body to continue to transform. Wu Qi silently guarded outside the house, not letting anyone get close to disturb the young master. After more than half an hour, squeak.
Xu Jingming opened the door and walked out.
"Master." Wu Qi said happily, "Your secret method of subduing demons seems to have improved?" "Yes, it has improved a bit." Xu Jingming nodded.
