Xiaoman easily stabbed through another ghost soldier with the long sword in his hand.
Watching this monster burn and turn into ashes in front of him.
A little soul fire returns again.
Xiaoman felt that there seemed to be some changes in his body.
She walked to the stream and looked at the shadows reflected in the clear stream.
The girl Pingting is eighteen years old, youthful and graceful.
only……
In the stream, the girl's eyes are no longer as big and beautiful as before.
In that pupil, another group of vague flames was spinning.
The fire has no color.
As if it was born from nowhere.
Countless memories and embers linger in my ears.
"Eat...eat meat..."
"I'm hungry...I want to eat fresh meat..."
"Eat...eat..."
These are the thoughts of Shuras.
There are no embers burned by the soul fire.
In addition, Xiaoman also heard some inaudible sounds.
"This year's crops are not growing well... I still owe the master three buckets of rice and I haven't paid back..." This is the sad thought of a farmer.
"That girl yesterday was really cool...it's a pity...she's so expensive..." This was the thought of a soldier guarding the city.
These thoughts were mixed with the crazy neighing of the Shuras.
Xiaoman's originally sweet and cute baby face was slightly distorted.
This is the price of soul-eating!
To devour others is to bear the intrusion of other people's thoughts and ideas.
Even Xuanjun is not exempt from vulgarity!
But Xuanjun is the strongest!
Some regrets and stray thoughts may be nothing more than the sound of ants to him.
However, Xiaoman is too weak.
Even if her sword is firm, it will inevitably be affected and corroded.
Her face slowly became more pointed, her originally white and flawless nose became more straight, and a little red spots slowly appeared on her cheeks.
There were thin circuits left in the lines of her skin.
Xiaoman finally couldn't help but kneel down.
She held her sword and tried hard to resist the wavering and distortion in her soul.
Little by little, he suppressed the distracting thoughts of the devoured Shuras and the remaining distracting thoughts when the Shuras devoured mortals.
This made her hair get wet and made her face look ferocious.
I don't know how long it took.
The turmoil in his soul was finally suppressed.
Xiaoman gasped for air and looked at himself in the stream.
She is still an eighteen-year-old girl, Pingting is graceful.
only……
"I have to hold on..." she told herself.
But she understood that she might not be able to hold on for long.
Now, she has just embarked on the path of soul-eating cultivation.
He just killed a dozen low-level Shuras.
But the soul has been corroded and shaken.
If he continues to act recklessly like this, Xiaoman knows that before the killing pill is completed, he will first become a demon.
But what can she do?
All we can do is bite the bullet and go on.
"At least, clean up the Shura in Qingshan Town first!" Xiaoman stood up and looked at the ruins of Qingshan Town under the setting sun.
Today, she spent half a day clearing away the low-level Shura wandering around Qingshan Town.
This allowed her to safely swallow the souls of more than a dozen low-level Shuras.
While completely destroying these monsters and preventing them from being resurrected, he also allowed his soul to grow stronger.
Today, Xiaoman's soul has grown from the size of a bean sprout to the size of a pea today.
Its quality is already equivalent to that of a monk in the middle stage of foundation building!
This is an unparalleled cultivation speed.
Breakthrough in half a day!
Even the legendary immortals and gods may not be able to do this at Xiaoman's stage.
However……
Still too weak!
Xiaoman knows this.
The Blood Queen of Qingshan Town...
It's not something easy to deal with.
As Shura, it has reached the pinnacle of Shura.
It's just a little short of being transformed into a demon.
And the devil, at worst, has the power of forming pills!
But, Xiaoman has no choice!
Shura and demons both have a special way of sensing.
They can sense changes in the number of 'own people' within a certain range.
Therefore, if we do not attack Qingshan Town immediately, once the Shuras in Qingshan Town are mobilized.
Xiaoman never had a chance again.
Holding the sword, Xiaoman walked forward step by step.
She has no time and must enter Qingshan Town as soon as possible!
………………………………
Lingpingan watched the figure of the Fusang girl disappear at the door.
He couldn't help scratching his head: "What's going on..."
"Why did you leave as soon as you said you wanted to buy a book..."
The young bookstore owner was greatly stimulated.
"Am I really not suitable for business?" He became a little frustrated.
Meow!
The kitten's cry rang in my ears.
A wet and hot tongue licked the back of his hand.
Lingpingan looked up at his pet and touched its head: "Little darling, don't worry about me!"
"I'm strong!"
He showed a very bright smile: "I will work hard to get along well with the guests!"
Bookstores are essentially a service industry.
Since it is a service industry, serving customers well is his job.
If your business is not doing well, you must reflect on it.
Lingpingan felt that maybe he should adjust his attitude.
Every customer should be well served.
I can't scare people anymore.
"Um……"
"I have to be more careful when I speak in the future..." Lingpingan said.
As a gentleman, he kept in mind the characteristics of a gentleman - I should examine myself three times a day, think about the virtuous and reflect on myself when I see the virtuous, and introspect myself when I see the virtuous.
Being good at introspection and looking for problems within oneself is also a fine tradition of the Federal Empire.
It is also the root of why this country has been able to survive for three hundred years without declining.
So, he turned on the TV, took the remote control, and tuned to the popular science education channel.
I plan to listen to the lecture carefully and cleanse my mind again.
On the TV screen, a scholar's figure appeared.
He was standing on the podium and giving a lecture.
Lingpingan looked at the title on the TV - Lecture on the Three Hundred Years of Turbulence in the Empire.
He nodded, amplified his voice, and listened carefully.
Just as it happened, the scholars on the podium were talking about the story of Taizu's establishment of the system.
"Three years after Taizu rejuvenated the country, Emperor Taizu was already preparing to establish the principles of our current charter..."
"This first article is to prohibit stupid people..."
"Emperor Taizu elaborated on this in detail when he summoned Li Dacheng, the governor of Jingchu, who came to Beijing to report on his duties..."
"Taizu's original words were: I have been reading history recently, and from the historical records, I only read two words 'foolish people'..."
"This is bad!"
"Why did we raise the army?"
"So many brothers died on the battlefield, and why?"
"In order for our descendants to continue to fool the people?!"
"This is not good!"
"This strategy of fooling the people will do great harm to people!"
"The people under my rule have no stupid power!"
"So, in the later years of Emperor Gaozong's life, when he convened a council of ministers and high officials to agree on the national Magna Carta... the first article of the Magna Carta was that 'the federal empire and all independent kingdoms must protect the people's right to education, state institutions and any individual
, shall not hinder the people from exercising this power'!"
"Gaozong even declared in his edict: 'Everyone is born with the right to education.' This is a self-evident truth! I hope that one day, the sons of tenant farmers and the sons of landlords will sit hand in hand in the same classroom.
In front of a desk... I hope that one day, children of nobles and children of common people will attend classes in the same school..."
"Everyone is equal before education! Everyone is equal before opportunity!"
Listening to this, Lingpingan couldn't help but sigh: "A wise king and wise master, this is nothing more than that!"
The feelings of the people of the Federal Empire towards the royal family are very cordial.
Not only because the royal family takes the initiative to delegate power, but also because the royal family has always been the driving force for progress!
Education, equal rights for men and women, protection of women...
Public health and infrastructure…
Behind the shadows of countless things, there is the figure of the royal family.
After sighing, he laughed again.
Because the first article of the Magna Carta of the Federal Empire has a total of three interpretations of the Great Protector in its two hundred years of development history.
One of them is directed to the media.
This explanation of the Great Law protector says: The media and all other public platforms are not allowed to disseminate unverified and unconfirmed news and events (except entertainment) to the public.
This, to a certain extent, limits the media’s rumor-mongering.
But instead, conspiracy theories became popular.
Because, there are many things that the media dare not report.
But it happens that it is spread among the people everywhere.
Therefore, many people instinctively felt that there was some conspiracy behind this or that the central cabinet was covering up something shameful.
What about the Bermuda Triangle? Yungui Sun Financial Group pulled...
They are all caused by poison.
no way!
No media dares to risk violating the constitution by reporting on it.
Violation of the constitution is no joke, and people will die.
Therefore, people will naturally start to think about it.
And the Federal Empire has been around for another three hundred years.
Although this huge machine is still sound, some things are inevitably aging.
As a result, conspiracy theory and violence theory groups were formed.
Why do you see a dragon and what do you see a monster...
What a haunted house...
These are all things that are rumored in private.
People believe such rumors very much.
Even later, the Imperial Central Committee couldn't stand it anymore and organized several national television stations to launch a program "Approaching Science" to popularize science and refute those folklore rumors to the people.
The column team went into the places where legends have been circulated for a long time among the people, looking for the truth, and then found a bunch of bachelors to explain scientifically.
but……
Doing so had the opposite effect.
Because many people don't believe it at all.
Even if the facts are right in front of you, you still won't believe them.
In addition, that column liked to engage in some risqué operations, and gradually, it was ridiculed on the Internet.
As a result, instead of being clarified, the rumors spread further and wider.
In recent years, with the rise of mobile Internet, the emerging platform of the Internet has added fuel to the fire.
There seem to be many weird urban legends popping up in Lianjiang City.
The most recent ones are in the streets and alleys near Lingpingan, where there are rumors of "Blessed Land of Wenquxing" and "Prosperous Wealth and Fortune".
As a result, housing prices have continued to rise, and new communities have even appeared in the surrounding areas to be developed.
To know……
There have been no new developments in this area for more than ten years.
Thinking of this, Lingpingan could only shake his head: "Everyone is like a dragon, and the world is full of Yao and Shun..."
"Taizu's last wish has not been fulfilled even today!"
No way, this is reality.
Especially after material abundance, many people have nothing to do.
"Why are you thinking so much?" He suddenly laughed: "Let's just code words..."
"After all, I'm not really Tao Yuanming..."
…………………………
At noon, Aning came back with his schoolbag and opened the door.
She happily held the person behind her.
In the past few days, Aning has been staying at the school's teacher's house.
Because my brother said that he had to go out to do something.
Until today, her brother finally came back and went to pick her up from school.
An Ning is very happy!
"Brother, Aning has learned a poem these days!"
"Aning will recite it to you..."
"The grass on the original plain dries up and grows every year. Wildfires cannot burn it out, but it grows again when the spring breeze blows!"
Listening to Aning's innocent recitation of poems.
Zhou Ke laughed.
It's just that his face is a little pale and he looks a little weak.
Aning discovered this and immediately asked: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing..." Zhou Ke said, "My brother just went on a long trip..."
He stretched out his hand and pinched his cheek, then stuffed back a tentacle that was about to spring out.
Then, he turned around and pulled the skin on his face to make it closer.
Then he knelt down and said to An Ning: "A Ning..."
"Do you remember what your brother told you before he left?"
An Ning nodded vigorously and said, "An Ning remembers! My brother told An Ning to look at the stars on the paper every night..."
She took out a piece of paper she had kept in her pocket.
"If you see the star disappearing, go to the bookstore brother and ask the bookstore brother to take care of Aning..."
"Aning watches it every day!"
"The stars are always there!"
Zhou Ke smiled and touched Aning's head: "What a good boy!"
He took the piece of paper and put it away solemnly.
Stars are the symbol of the Old Ones.
Because in a sense, every Old One is a star.
That’s why Gherroth is an Outer God.
Wherever He passes, the high-pitched song of the heavenly bodies will surely awaken a sleeping ruler of the past, and this is the reason for the destruction of the world.
because……
In a sense, it is not so much that Gherroth has awakened the old days.
Rather, it was He who summoned the old days.
Aning looked at her brother and asked innocently: "Brother, where have you been these past few days?"
"A place far away..." Zhou Ke said, touching the little girl's head.
"Oh!" Aning nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
She walked to the sofa, picked up the remote control, and turned on the TV.
Cartoons started playing on the TV.
Zhou Ke walked to the kitchen and looked at the squid and octopus in the aquariums on both sides.
He slowly peeled off his face, letting the imprisoned tentacles and mouthparts come out to breathe.
In his eyes, he couldn't help but recall this trial.
It was truly a terrifying ancient battlefield!
Several ancient alien gods fought there, and the aftermath shattered the galaxy.
There are countless old days there that were born due to the fight between the outer gods.
Even he had to narrowly escape death to complete the trial.
Fortunately...
All this effort is worth it!
He finally understood what it takes to become an Outer God?
rule!
How to control and occupy a rule!
but……
None of this matters!
Zhou Ke put the human skin back on his face, and then tried his best to suppress the violent and crazy thoughts in his soul.
He knew that he only had one thing to do now.
That is……
Be prepared to cook whatever the Lord likes to eat at any time.
Always be on standby!
…………………………………………
Xiaoman held his sword and strode into Qingshan Town.
This once prosperous city has long since fallen into disrepair.
The houses have basically collapsed.
The road is overgrown with weeds, and some bones can be faintly seen in the weeds.
She held her sword and walked among them.
In her ears, those distracting thoughts and residual thoughts were still disturbing her, and she needed to devote some of her strength to resist them.
So, she has actually lost her hearing now.
You can only feel the enemy by looking at your eyes and soul.
Soon, she felt a twisted spirit coming towards her.
She jumped up slightly and saw bursts of dust flying in the streets ahead.
A huge, deformed monster was running towards her.
‘Ghost’!
Xiaoman recognized it at a glance. It was the largest and most destructive monster among Shura!
This type of Shura is the creation of the demon.
The demons used a terrifying magical weapon called the "Devil Furnace" to throw the body of a great demon into pieces, grind it up, and then sew it back together. During the sewing process, the demons would stuff multiple Shura heads into it.
Because the demon furnace is an evil weapon forged by the demons in the void.
Therefore, the Shuras stuffed in through this method cannot leave the body of the 'ghost' at all.
On the contrary, the demon was melted in the furnace and all his intelligence was wiped out.
Only the craziest desires are left.
Don't look at it, there is only one ghost.
but……
Xiaoman knew that in fact, every ghost and demon had a Shura responsible for different actions.
Some control movement, some control fighting, and some control eating.
Moreover, the souls and flesh and blood of humans or demons devoured by these monsters will not be digested by them.
The demons will come to collect these things regularly.
Therefore, behind every ghost is a crazy and powerful demon!
In the disaster of heaven and earth, demons swept across the world.
Ghosts and monsters are the thugs of the demons, used to clean up mortals and towns in the mortal world!
According to legend, ghosts and monsters are Shura who were driven back from the earthly world to the void.
The demons were dissatisfied with them, so they stuffed them into ghosts and monsters.
Let them become your slaves and thugs.
Fortunately...
Because the suturing process of these things is too painful, they have lost their intelligence.
Otherwise, Xiaoman would have already walked away at this moment.
Because these ghosts and demons are too strong!
So strong that it can almost rival the devil!
Xiaoman looked at the monster that had been stitched together, holding up its four deformed thighs, and rushing towards her at high speed.
She smiled.
If it had been in the past, she would have been helpless with such a monster.
Because this thing is thick-skinned and thick-bodied, monks who are not at the level of pill formation cannot break its defense at all.
As for the Pill Formation Overhaul, once it appears, the demon will immediately sense it.
This makes this kind of thing almost become the most destructive Shura monster in the catastrophe of heaven and earth.
However……
Xiaoman looked at the soul fire on her sword blade, and she knew that what her soul fire liked most was this simple crazy monster.
So, she faced the monster and rushed over.
The long sword in his hand, the soul fire is singing loudly.
When he was less than fifty steps away, Xiaoman fiercely threw the long sword in his hand.
The sharp sword stained with soul fire pierced the air.
The ghost demon's head, which looked like a bull's head and a deer's head put together, raised its head, and its cloudy eyes looked at the sword thrown at it in confusion.
Its simple IQ cannot determine what this situation is.
But instinct tells it that it is very dangerous!
So, it immediately dodge instinctively.
However……
Such a close distance is simply not enough for its deformed body to react!
Even if it can, because it is not a Shura who is responsible for judgment and action.
As a result, the long sword stained with soul fire accurately pierced its skin.
It only penetrated an inch into the skin and hung lightly on its huge body.
There was obviously a puzzled look in the ghost's eyes.
But its simple wisdom is not enough for it to understand the seriousness of the situation!
So he continued running at high speed.
But its body burst into flames!
The soul fire quickly ignited the grease in the demon corpse.
It also ignited the two-headed Shura used by ghosts and demons in battle.
The soul fire spread rapidly.
The whole ghost demon burst into flames.
Turn it into a running burning monster.
Sizzle...
The air was filled with the strong aroma and stench of meat.
Xiaoman resisted his instinct to gag and stepped forward.
The ghost demon had fallen in a collapsed yard.
Earth and rocks fell on it, but the flames were still burning.
In the burning flames, one after another, ghost-like shadows were rolling in the fire.
They are being burned!
They will be burned!
Watching the flames slowly extinguish, a little bit of soul fire was cast towards Xiaoman in the spell.
With the return of these soul fires.
Xiaoman's face suddenly became painful.
She felt the pain of the big demon when it was thrown into the demon furnace in the void by the demons.
Every inch of skin seemed to be minced, every bit of flesh and blood seemed to be ground.
She squatted down in pain.
On his face, faint traces of blood appeared.
The colorless fire swirling in his pupils became more intense.
And in my ears, there were endless wails of pain and screams of despair.
There are also all kinds of reluctance and nostalgia.
These reluctances and attachments belong to...those Shuras!
Xiaoman clenched her fist and bit her lip.
Until his lips were bitten and his nails were embedded in his flesh.
But the physical pain was nothing compared to the mental blow.
because……
From these broken thoughts and residual thoughts, Xiao Man clearly tasted the thoughts of the living beings!
It is the reluctance born from the attachment to life before death.
That is the resentment of a creature that has kowtowed a thousand times in front of the gods but still cannot get what it wants!
That is the heartbreak that a creature feels when it loses a loved one!
These residual thoughts are the lowest things in Shura's souls.
It is something that can still survive after being melted by the demon furnace, then sewn into the demon corpse, and then burned by the soul fire!
In other words, this is actually the essence of Shura!
