This is what really makes him happy.
Except for him, no one saw a mysterious and ancient scroll flying out from between his eyebrows, slowly unfolding in front of his eyes, and the light group disappeared into it.
Scenes emerge among them...
In the wilderness, bones and dead bodies were everywhere.
One of the rotting corpses suddenly struggled and slowly stood up.
The rotten head turned around, suddenly peeling off its rotten skin and flesh like clothing, and gnawed clean the internal organs, bones, etc. of the intact corpse next to it, leaving the skin and meat behind, and then put it on itself again...
It discovered that this method actually made itself stronger, and began to eat corpses in the wilderness.
Slowly, it is no longer satisfied, and uses illusions to confuse passers-by. This living "food" is more delicious...
Until it left the wilderness and came to Shanyin County, it found that there was a lot of "food" here. It relied on illusions to slowly turn the entire county into its "granary."
It is not satisfied yet. It knows that there is still a lot of "food" for refugees outside, so it uses relief methods to attract more "food" to come automatically...
The screen stopped at the moment when the ghost transformed into a beautiful woman, with her skin half-opened, revealing the looming withered bones, standing in front of the "porridge bucket".
It turned into a "picture of ghosts giving porridge" in the catalog of ghosts and gods.
There are words on the picture:
[The bones of dead people turn into spirits and monsters, and they like to eat the essence of the living and the resentment of the dead. After cannibalizing people, they gather their souls and resentment evil spirits and turn them into blood evil beads, which can live in flesh and blood bags and appear during the day, carrying the poison of plague and disaster. Wherever they pass, there will be no one there. ]
After the catalog was finished, two more lines of characters slowly emerged:
[The number of true spirits: one]
[Kill ghosts and evil spirits, and reward Zhou Tian]
[Killing the monsters and ghosts, appreciating the dragons and cuds]
Sure enough, it is effective only if he kills the demon with his own hands.
Jiang Zhou showed his joy without reservation.
Shi Feng thought that he was happy because he could enter the Sujing Division, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, you will step aside and wait for our captain to deal with the evil epidemic here, and then we will return to Wu County together."
Jiang Zhou's heart trembled, knowing what he meant by dealing with the evil epidemic.
As he opened his mouth to speak, someone suddenly pulled him hard. When he turned around, he saw that the man who had argued with others earlier and objected to killing all the refugees was slowly shaking his head at him.
Jiang Zhou also understood that it was a fluke that he could survive. He was completely unable to stop what was happening in front of him, so he had to close his eyes...
The screams began to be heard endlessly...
...
time flies.
In the dead of night, in the Sujing Division of Wu County.
In a simple grotto.
Jiang Zhou suddenly woke up from his sleep and sat on the bed covered with hay, panting.
It has been seven days since I arrived at Wujun Sujingsi from Shanyin County.
He would also dream of the horrific scene like the slaughterhouse, and the ghost standing in front of the porridge bucket to scoop him "porridge".
Jiang Zhou wiped away his cold sweat and looked at the empty row of beds next to him, feeling sad.
As he expected, he became a sword bearer of Sujing Division.
Su Jingsi was far more cruel than he imagined.
Not only cruel to monsters, cruel to others, but also cruel to one's own people.
It turns out that there are still several people living in this grotto.
But every time he was sent out to hold a knife, he never came back.
All dead.
In the Sujing Division, the demon patrol guards are official officers and are led by the Suyao captain.
The sword holder can barely be regarded as a lifelong temporary employee of the Sujing Division, the lowest level of existence.
Cannon fodder + handyman = sword holder
When killing monsters, be at the front.
You can't be idle at ordinary times, you have to serve the demon-suppressing captains and demon-patrolling guards of the Sujing Division.
In just seven days after arriving at Sujingsi in Wu County, he sent away three sword holders who lived with him!
And Shi Feng, who seemed to have a special regard for him, he never had the chance to see again since he entered here.
His guess was not wrong. Shi Feng, who could kill thousands of refugees without blinking an eye, had very limited kindness and favor for him.
Just let him become a sword bearer of Sujing Division.
And he was given a seven-day adaptation period, and he was not sent out to hold a knife the day after he came in, like everyone else.
And this kind of kindness and favor is most likely because the "natural spiritual pupil" has some value for Su Jingsi.
The value is not high, but he is better than ordinary sword holders, so he gets limited "preferential treatment".
This kind of special regard is definitely not enough to make Su Jingsi help him resist the witch.
As long as he dares to reveal it, the demon girl may not be in trouble, but it is a fact that he has an affair with the demon, and this alone will definitely not end well.
He has to continue his undercover status for the time being.
Tomorrow will be the time for him to hold a knife for the first time.
If you are unlucky, it may be the last time.
Jiang Zhou took a deep breath.
With an expression as if he was going to the execution ground, he took out a small, winding golden grass from under the hay on the couch.
The information recorded in the mysterious ancient scrolls comes to mind...
[Dragon Cuo: A Cuo grass can turn into a dragon in a hundred days. The grass eaten by ancient dragons. Its nature is pure yang and extremely strong. It is planted in the heart orifices and prevents all evils from invading. It feeds back the internal organs of the body and strengthens the bones and blood. After a hundred days, the grass will transform into the shape of a dragon, blending into flesh and blood, adding a hundred years of skill and reborn, with blood and energy like a dragon, so it is also called the Hundred Days Dragon Grass. ]
This is the reward for killing the sprite.
To use it, just cut open the chest and plant it on the heart.
After a hundred days, he will get a hundred years of skill.
In the past few days, he knew some bits and pieces of information from other swordsmen, intentionally or unintentionally.
Tenth level of martial arts.
The essence is stored in the product, the skin and flesh are as tough as cow leather, the muscles and bones sing like tigers and leopards, and the blood and qi flow like mercury slurry.
When the essence is full and overflows, blending into the flesh and blood, the body is like an oven, and the blood and energy penetrate the body, it is the ninth level of martial arts, Fusion of Yuan.
At this time, the blood and energy in the body are running, and they have their own special power. This is the power of blood and energy practiced in martial arts, which is always measured by skill.
Jiang Zhou estimated that with a hundred years of skill, he shouldn't be too weak, but he just didn't know if he could beat that witch?
Regardless of whether he is strong or not, Jiang Zhou just wants to survive now.
He would have to hold the sword tomorrow, and he had no choice but to make a desperate move.
In the middle of the night, when no one was around, he took out the knife he had been preparing, lit a candle, and put it on the flame to burn.
He grabbed another handful of hay and tied it into strips, stuffed it into his mouth and bit it.
When the knife was almost burned, he picked it up and started gesticulating against his exposed heart.
"Poof!"
A knife was inserted into the chest, and blood spurted out.
"Um!"
Veins popped out all over Jiang Zhou's face, and he sobbed uncontrollably.
Holding back the crushing pain and psychological pressure, he quickly stuffed the dragon's cucumber into the incision that he had cut out with his own hands.
His whole body was trembling, and he was groping for the position of his heart in the knife edge...
With great difficulty, the dragon's cucumber touched the heart and instantly wrapped around it, reaching out its roots and piercing into it.
Jiang Zhou almost closed his eyes due to the sudden severe pain.
This was a severe pain like ten thousand little bugs burrowing in and out of his heart.
The next moment, a scalding heat surged out from the heart and spread all over the body in an instant.
Jiang Zhou had never felt so sore and happy.
My whole body was throbbing with pain, but at the same time I was so relieved that I could hum.
Why does it hurt so much?
Feeling relieved at this moment, Jiang Zhou quickly suppressed his fear, looked down at his heart, and used his hands to tear open enough to see clearly inside.
Then I saw the golden roots of the dragon's crow piercing into the beating heart. The winding grass stems wrapped around the heart like a thin vine, and also emitted a golden brilliance like the sun.
The heartbeat becomes stronger little by little under the golden light.
Every beat released a huge amount of blood, which not only replenished the previous consumption, but also made him feel stronger than ever before.
Soon, he suddenly felt that the severe pain was fading away, and the wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Soon, even the incision on the chest was gone.
Jiang Zhou felt like he was completely reborn.
My strength seems to be growing every moment.
The whole person was as hot as a stove.
The viscous black liquid mixed with traces of blood-red flowed out of the pores, and then evaporated into wisps of black smoke and disappeared by the scorching heat on the body.
The stench was exactly the same as that of the sprites that day.
Eighty percent of it is the blood evil and evil resentment that Shi Feng said.
After killing the demon that day, the blood evil on the demon-slaying knife and the evil resentment of the demon eroded into his body, making him increasingly weak and have frequent nightmares.
Now this discomfort has almost disappeared, and my energy and energy are very strong.
All evils will not invade, indeed all evils will not invade!
Jiang Zhou carefully felt the changes in his body, and time passed by unconsciously.
Several gongs were heard outside.
It is the Dianmao gong of Sujing Division.
Its daybreak.
It was time for him to hold the sword.
