Inner Demons

When I wake up again, I can only see a square sky.

The yellow sky is framed by the eaves with broken tiles and weeds. The grass was mad, and the air roots leaked from the top, like small waterfalls.

It is already dusk when I look at it. Should resolutely frown, support the ground with his hands, and try to get up.

He lay in the patio. The three houses on all sides were dilapidated on both sides so that the doors and windows were rotten, and only the one directly opposite seemed to be able to live-and indeed lived.

He saw a fire in the house. There was a stove in the room, but it collapsed in half. Therefore, the fire was not made in the stove, but on the ground. There was a wooden frame on the fire, and a small earthen jar with a black bottom and a chipped edge was hanging from the wooden frame.

The jar seems to be filled with water and it is already open. It gurgled.

But it was definitely a while before I realized that I had smelled the aroma coming from the jar. The smell is mouth watering, not to mention he is still stomach rumbling with hunger right now. It took him a moment to look away from the jar and saw two people sitting behind the fire in the shadows.

One person is a veteran. I didn’t take care of my hair and beard for a long time, and it became tangled. Wearing an azure daoist robe, holding a long spoon cut from wood chips, looking into the jar. It seems to be confused.

The other…

I don’t know if it’s because of the light or other reasons, my skin tone is gray. But this ash is not annoying, it is more like the blood azure leaking from the skin because of the extremely white and extremely white. Wearing a red coat, like a soldier who has just removed his armor. There are indeed armors around him—I am holding an oddly shaped red helmet and carefully wipe it with a piece of cloth.

Should definitely look for a while and recognize the woman.

Isn’t it the “Sanhua Empress” that he and Meng Og saw in the alley that night!

At this time, I heard Lao Dao turn his face and say to the Sanhua Empress: “Don’t be angry. You, although the cultivation is high, you are a Demon after all. I have to talk about these things–“

He took the long spoon in his hand and gently knocked the rim of the earthen jar. But accidentally knocked off another piece and fell into the jar. He hurriedly leaned over and carefully picked up the pieces with a long spoon, and tasted the soup brought on the spoon by the way. Then he sat down again, and continued to say to Sanhua Empress: “These things, you Demons can’t make it. What did Brother Xin tell me before? Slowly catch the fire, without water, when the fire is full, it is beautiful. This thing , You have to simmer slowly, so that it is crisp, rotten and fresh…”

Sanhua becomes impatient. Simply lost the cloth in his hand and screamed: “Hey, old fogey is so noisy! Great meat, eh? Ah, trembling, shiny…Ah, chewing is a pack of blood! Hmph, it’s gone, it’s all out of cooking!”

She said, looking into the earthen jar, as if distressed.

Old snorted: “When the time comes, you know it.”

After saying this, I don’t care about Sanhua, and Sanhua doesn’t care about him.

Then he cast his gaze on Ying Jue, who was already standing in the courtyard: “Master Ying does not need to look. The Young Master and the two girls in Yu’s family have been sent to rest after their spider poisoning has not been removed. That’s it. Those of you are behind—their cultivation base is not high. Unlike the four of you who have high-strength internal protection, it is difficult to say whether they can survive the spider poison.”

“Ah…don’t worry about it. Don’t worry.” Liu Laodao waved his hand, twisted his beard, and said with a smile, “There is a shortage of doctors and medicines here. I expected the doctor you brought to see the sick. , Your doctor also fell ill-so Anxin is here to accompany old fogey, let me talk. Look or not, you guys probably won’t survive tonight.”

“Heroes Ying I should know what is next. Next is Liu Gongzan—now we’ve seen each other for the first time. My… old friend, murderer Meng Og, should be in the fortress of Hero Ying.”

He comforted It would be better not to say. Should definitely be more anxious after listening. After all, they were all people who came out of Baozi. Get along with each other for a long time, and they are all cronies. Now if everything is lost, it is really a big loss. But it should definitely be a person who can also observe words and colors. He found that Liu Laodao’s face and tone were a little strange.

Some precautions and vigilance.

He settled down, glanced at the black blade lying on the ground beside him, and said: “Ghost operator Liu Gongzan. He has heard of the name for a long time. Then there is something to ask about.”

Liu Lao Dao is like a kind elder and loyal servant in front of Li Yunxin. Now that Li Yunxin is not alone in speaking with Ying, the aura that has been hidden in him for a long time has returned. He was sitting behind the fire, the light of the fire reflected on his face-it seemed that he had really recovered the demeanor of the ghost operator of the past, and it seemed profound mystery and indistinguishable.

I saw him laughed, and pulled out a stick of firewood from the fire in front of him to make the fire smaller. Then he raised his eyes and asked, “My dragon king asked Ying Daxia to bring people to Weicheng. I know about this. Ying Daxia has come this time. It can be seen that he is a person of great promise, and the dragon king is definitely happy. There is just one thing that is not very interesting. I understand.”

“Mister Liu, please speak.”

“You met Jiaxin child outside the city and rescued her. I was in front of the two friends outside I have already said what happened. I listened, and I admire Ying’s heroic courage. But—Ying’s heroes grabbed people from the Taoist priests, but they were unharmed. Not only were you unharmed, but even the ones under your hands People are unharmed. I don’t understand this.” Liu Gongzan looked at him with piercing eyes, “What did Hero Ying say?”

Ying should be silent for a while and sneered: “There is nothing to say. There are many reasons for being unharmed—the Taoist has a lot of Demon in his hands and doesn’t care. The Taoist is afraid of delaying the time to arrange the array, so he didn’t catch up. It seems reasonable to say anything at the bottom, after all, it is a fairy , Not a secular person. But if Mister Liu is suspicious, even if the Taoist priest is standing here and talking about the cause, you are still suspicious.”

Liu Gongzan twisted his beard and smiled: “Ying Daxia is right. But the Dragon King As I said, he never believes in coincidences and extraordinary things. Seeing that he has been doing things for a long time, the old way thinks so. So this is what I think.”

He said here Converging his expression, Xiang Ying waved his hand resolutely: “Hero Ying comes in and sits. It’s getting late and it’s going to rain.”

Ying resolutely hesitated for a while, picked up the black blade on the ground and walked into the house. .

It’s a coincidence. As soon as he entered the house, there was a wind outside. The roof tiles were scratched slightly, and the weeds bowed their heads. After two breaths of effort, big raindrops smashed down, and after another breath, the violent wind had rushed in with the rain curtain wu wu wu wu, and the ground was covered with dust.

However, since Liu Gongzan took out a talisman from his sleeve, he vocally took out, and the wind in the hall suddenly weakened and turned into a breeze that comforts the body and mind.

Should definitely be taken aback. He only knew the status of Liu Gongzan in the past, but he didn’t expect him to excel in the channel method-to such a point!

But after this froze, he felt that he couldn’t lose the imposing manner. Picked up a wooden stake that had not been chopped into firewood, sat down, and said: “This is also a coincidence. What does Mister Liu think?”

He looked at the rain curtain outside—the gusty wind turned into a little in the patio Tornado. The raindrops were rolled up piece by piece by tornado, turned into a bright white vortex, and poured on the ground and the roof of the house. The tiles ding ding dong dong fell down, as if these three houses were about to collapse.

Liu Gongzan laughed again: “It’s not a coincidence. You should know when you came, it’s easy to get in and it’s hard to get out. In fact, we are trapped here by the expert. I don’t know what the expert’s mind is, but There is no harm in thinking about it. Therefore, the climate here is abnormal and such big wind and rain are not uncommon. When fist-sized hailstones, plums, fish, and meat are smashed in the sky, it is also normal.”

” I won’t mention this for the time being, just talk about Ying Daxia.” Liu Gongzan didn’t care how surprised Ying decided was. “What the old way is thinking is that Ying Daxia’s entire group happened to meet Yu Young Master. It happened to be in the city. I met Jiaxin outside. It just so happened that those Taoist priests didn’t catch up because of something… These ones happen to be a bit too much.”

“If I were to say, I would be wary of Taoists using you as bait. My Dragon King— -Outsiders say that he is cruel, but his heart is warm. What he says may not be what he thinks in his heart. I know that. If you, Yujia Young Master, and Jiaxin go to him with him, it will be difficult for him to You are shut out. I have received news a few days ago that the Dragon King is in some kind of restriction. The people of the Taoist tradition want to rush in, but they have no choice but to take the Dragon King. Because of this, I think again… This is the abacus.”

Lao Liu sighed then said slightly, stirring in the earthen jar with the long spoon in his hand, and scented.

Not far away, the Sanhua suddenly stared at the smell. But he seemed to remember the old way of quarreling with her before, so he looked at it reluctantly and turned his head away.

“So I got you in too.” Liu Laodao looked at Ying Dao resolutely, “This is also a restriction. There is only one Small World. There is this courtyard, and the courtyard is on the cliff. Going outside is the fog. .You will walk back again after you walk in. You are outside, either you are looking for my Dragon King, which makes him dilemma. Either you can’t find it, or you’ve been killed by the Taoist priest. Although you don’t know how long and how long you can go out after you come in, After all, outsiders don’t dare to come easily. This is what we can do for the Dragon King—not to trouble him at this knot.”

You should definitely take a deep breath. Look at Old Liu: “Before I was outside I said how Li Yunxin might be, the two outside only told me that he has a big plan, don’t worry. Now I will listen to you talk about this remark, it seems that Mister Liu’s situation with your Dragon King is not Very optimistic. If he is really not optimistic in the future…Aren’t we going to be trapped to death here?”

“In the world, where is the perfect solution.” Old Liu laughed, “At this time, I will be with you. Everything is clear, just tell you and feel at ease. You are a warrior who knows no way, absolutely can’t get out. Don’t do meaningless things. The other thing is to wait-see if someone will come. Once they come. People, it means that what I think is true. You are indeed bait. If Taoism treats you secular people as bait, then we don’t have to worry about the situation of the Dragon King—that means that the Taoism protects him. There is nothing to do with the ban, and we have to come up with this.”

“Come. After talking for so long, come and eat something. My wife is embarrassed, and only these can make up for her.”

Lao Dao Liu got up and took three big wooden bowls from behind.

The storm was violent outside, and it was already dark. There is only a bunch of bonflame hair in the room, but the rays of light are only five steps away, and the rest is pitch black. When Liu Laodao stood up, he threw Dao Talisman into the fire casually, and the bonfire became brighter, lighting up the whole room.

Surely this was the only way to get a glimpse of the whole house-only glanced to the east corner, and immediately jumped up in shock, with a fine cold sweat oozing from his back.

In the east corner, half a person lay unexpectedly. What he saw was not so clear, he could only see the silhouette of a human figure resting on the ground in the dim light. But half of his body has been eaten, and his skin is pale, as if people are not wearing clothes.

The single thought he thought of was Demon cannibalism. The second thought is the safety of his subordinates. However, before his third thought came into being, Old Tao Liu had already smiled. He laughed and drew a piece of wood from the campfire and threw it over, so that he should definitely see better: “It’s not a person.”

Liu Lao Dao said casually, “It’s like a person that’s all. The taste. It’s beautiful, especially fresh and tender.”

I should definitely see it clearly, it seems to be an aquatic thing. The meat under the skin is tender pink, like lamb meat. In the past, it should have had hands and feet, but now that it was eaten halfway, the feeling of “like a person” is greatly reduced when I see it now.

But he still looked at Liu Lao Dao in disbelief, and at Sanhua Empress: “You are eating–“

“Demon.” Liu Lao Dao laughed,” Hero Ying thinks what is the difference between eating Demon and eating people?”

Ying decidedly couldn’t answer this. He looked into the jar.

I don’t know what seasoning Liu Laodao added for cooking. The broth in the pot was about to reach the bottom to collect juice, gurgling bubbling. The yellow soup is sticky and contains four or five square-shaped pork belly. The golden fat and the crispy lean meat layered on top of each other, trembling in the soup due to the tossing bubbles, exuding a rich aroma every time. There are still some yam and the like in the jar, and it is full of soup and grease at the moment-in the eyes of stomach rumbling with hunger Ying Jue…

This is indeed delicious.

Looking at this thing, and then thinking about the question of Old Tao, he didn’t know what to say. I can only turn my head and look elsewhere.

As a result, I was shocked again!

On the east side of the house, half of Demon’s remains lay. There is one more to the west of the house!

It’s just that this thing is as scary as Demon’s cruel look-it’s a skeleton. It’s not a white skeleton. Red and white muscles are attached to the skeleton, just like a person has been skinned, and a lot of flesh and blood have been torn off. But there are blood vessels clinging to it…even blood is flowing!

Should definitely not know who has suffered such torture. But when he was about to ask, Old Dao Liu was already laughed again.

“This is not a Demon, but a human. You don’t recognize it, but it’s very famous.”

“The most outstanding female cultivator of Taoist Langya Dongtian day, Volley, it’s her.” He said, looking at the terrifying figure, “It’s still growing. After a few days, I won’t be so scared of people!”
