Among them, the big tengu is the most famous.
Su Anran didn't know the condition of the twelve patterns in the demon world, nor did she know where the oldest demon in the world came from—was it that the traverser existed when he came to this world, or did he come to this world? After that, the Pandora's box was opened.
But if, as Song Jue said before, Jiu Tun was just a big demon, then the strength of Twelve Patterns would be terrifying.
And if Shuten itself is one of the twelve patterns, then...
Miss Song, how did you escape?
Su Anran was very confused.
But right now, he has at least collected one piece of information.
Jiuten must be something that the traverser made after he came to this world, and it is definitely not something that was in this world before.
"About the twelve patterns, how much do you know?"
After Chen Jing left, Su Anran asked immediately.
"I don't know." Song Jue's expression was as dazed as ever.
In the past, Su Anran felt that this Song Jue was really good at fooling around, after all, she looked stupid and cute.
Now?
Please remove the cute word, thank you.
"How on earth did you grow so big?"
"Hi." Song Jue waved his hand, with a nonchalant expression on his face, "What's the matter? I was an orphan since I was a child. At that time, I did everything in order to survive, digging out bird eggs, grabbing dog food, just for You have to do your best to survive. Later, when you encountered a catastrophe, you ran with the crowd and met a teacher and father of Zhenyuanzong at the foot of the Zhenyuanzong mountain, so you joined the Zhenyuanzong."
"Thinking back now, the days at that meeting were actually not very good. But at that time, I was young, wandering around, and there was no meal, and suddenly three meals were guaranteed, no matter how hard or tired it was. At that time, in order not to be chased away, I had been working very hard to learn to read and write, and I practiced and did hard labor every day. I gritted my teeth and persisted. As a result, I suddenly found that I was ahead of many people. , stood at a very high position."
Song Jue said it lightly.
But Su Anran could hear the taste of chasing a ray of light in the darkness from her words.
He now also knows why Song Jue, who is now a direct disciple of Zhenyuanzong, was almost expelled from Zhenyuanzong, why she has such a tenacious will and desire to survive, why she has such a strong creativity and Rich imagination, why he prefers martial arts over spells, why doesn't he look like a disciple of Zhenyuanzong at all.
All of this, to put it bluntly, is because her childhood experience was different from those of the disciples of Zhenyuanzong.
So Song Jue didn't have so many rules and regulations, as long as she could survive, she didn't care whether she was from a wild or a professional background.
Naturally, she wasn't that serious about the importance of information—maybe she did, but she definitely didn't pay as much attention to it as Su Anran.This can be seen from the fact that she can take the initiative to understand the basic situation and situation of the demon world, but she doesn't care about the development history and various legends of the demon world.
Of course, it may also be her own sense of superiority.
This point is a common problem of all the cultivators in the Mysterious Realm who have entered the Ten Thousand Realms.
Su Anran sighed helplessly.
He couldn't speak out some complaints and blame words in his heart.
After all, it was extremely difficult for Song Jue to just want to survive, so he didn't have the time to learn about Jiu Tun's other situations.
Besides, at that time, she only had the cultivation base of her natal realm.
"What should we do now?"
"Jiu Tun is obviously not an ordinary big monster, otherwise the man named Chen Jing wouldn't show such a frightened look." Su Anran frowned, and then said in a deep voice, "On the surface, we stabilized him and let him I believed our words, but he must have gone to the captain now, and he should come tomorrow to test whether we have changed from a demon... But these are not the problem, the real question is whether Shuten is Twelve lines."
If there is Shuten-douji, will there be Yukino, Qingxingdeng, Daitengu, Tricky Ghost, Ogakumaru, Tamazazen, and Chongde Wraith?
Su Anran did have some ideas.
But these ideas must be based on obtaining more accurate information before he can turn his ideas into actual actions.
But what was helpless was that after hearing Song Jue's words, Chen Jing said that he was going to report to the commander, and then left in a hurry, which made Su Anran's idea of further inquiring information only temporarily in vain.
As for the soldier who brought someone over to make trouble?
Su Anran didn't care about this at all.
After all, the strength of him and Song Jue is enough to crush this gathering place - in the entire Linshanzhuang, there is only one soldier commander who is as imposing as the soul-condensing state, and three commanders whose strength has reached the real state of life - among them Two of them are just advanced, and they belong to the appearance. There are more than a dozen natal reality group heads, and only two-thirds of the remaining 100 people are blades, and the rest are just ordinary people, or blades that have not been unsheathed. .
He didn't know whether a gathering place like Linshanzhuang was strong or weak, but what he knew was that as long as he and Song Jue were determined to kill people, they would be able to slaughter the entire gathering place in just one stick of incense.
Maybe that soldier commander didn't die so easily, but everyone under him would definitely not want to live.
But since the other party hasn't turned his back on him right now, and Su Anran really wants to find out the information, he can only passively wait for the other party to make a move.
……
the other side.
As soon as Chen Jing left the empty house of Su Anran and Song Jue, he immediately ran to the shrine in Linshanzhuang—every gathering place will establish a shrine immediately after it is established. This is a kind of belief and also represents a inheritance formally established.
Of course, this is also because the establishment of each shrine has a special function: the demon-eliminating rope invited from Nine Pillars can be used to form a special area that isolates demon energy, which can weaken the power of demons to a certain extent. And through some special arrangements, it can also have the effect of sealing monsters.
As for what will happen to those sealed demons, that is naturally not something that demons need to know.
It can be said that the shrine of each gathering place is the core of the whole gathering place.
Without a gathering place for shrines, no one would come to settle.
Of course, it would be impossible to establish a gathering place without a shrine.
So there is no question of whether there is a shrine or a gathering place first.
Naturally, the shrine became a place where the leader of a gathering place could live.
The shrine in Linshanzhuang is not large in scale, and there is no treasure hall here.
Except for a main hall and a side hall on the left and right, there are no other buildings in this shrine.
It can be seen from this that the inheritance of Linshanzhuang is actually not very good.
After passing through the torii gate, Chen Jing went straight to the front hall of the main hall, and met a middle-aged man with white hair.He quickly reported the information he heard from Su Anran and Song Jue, but just looking at the shock on his face, it was enough to prove that when Chen Jing said these words, he mixed a lot of personal emotions And subjective ideas, not objective enough, let alone fairness.
"Is what you said true?"
The middle-aged man with white hair asked in a deep voice, "Did the two brothers and sisters really escape from Jiu Tun?"
"That's what they said." Chen Jing nodded heavily, "But my lord, this is simply impossible! That's Jiu Tun!"
"It was indeed rumored that Jiu Tun was ambushed by the five Zhuli lords, and escaped from death and hid in Jiutou Mountain." The white-haired man frowned, and his voice was a little more uncertain, "If Jiu Tun's injury If it is indeed as heavy as the rumors say, then it is not impossible, although it is unlikely."
"Even if Jiu Tun was seriously injured and narrowly escaped death, it must be the great monster Shangxian, just relying on them..." Chen Jing still didn't believe it, "My lord, I heard that Lord Lei Dao is at the Tianyuan Shrine. Do you want me to go?" Invite him over? After all, he was also from Jiumen Village."
"Alright." The white-haired man thought for a moment, then nodded, "That boy Lei Dao has just been promoted to the commander, and he already has the qualifications to establish a shrine. The adults on the plateau mountain are also very optimistic about him. After traveling abroad for a year, he went back to invite Chu Yaosheng to Xinli's gathering place. Anyway, sooner or later, he will come to visit our Linshan Villa, and it is only a few days before he is invited to come here now."
"Okay." Chen Jing nodded and was about to leave.
"Wait." The white-haired man stopped suddenly.
"What's the matter?" Chen Jing stopped walking with a look of doubt on his face.
"Don't go in person about this matter, leave it to Xiao Er or Dayu, and ask them to be more polite when they see Lei Dao. Don't go around in circles, just say that we have two brothers and sisters who claim to be from Jiumen Village, Claiming to have seen Jiu Tun, we have doubts, and want to ask Lei Dao to come and recognize it."
The white-haired man thought for a while before saying this.
His speaking speed was not fast, and his tone was not heavy, but for some reason, Chen Jing felt that there was a dignified atmosphere.
"Tomorrow, you and I will visit the siblings."
"My lord!" Chen Jing let out a low cry, "How can they..."
"No matter what they said before is true or not, but since they dared to claim to be chasing and killing Jiu Tun all the way south, it is definitely worth my visit." The white-haired man said, "Besides, if they are really monsters, do you think they are really monsters? How much can this town suppress them when they come to the shrine? If they are really monsters, and we don’t have enough strength to seal them, it will not be a good thing for us in Linshanzhuang. So even if the other party is really a monster, we have not broken our face now , then I won’t invite them to come to the shrine until that boy Lei Dao comes over, so at least there is room for maneuver, so as not to cause accidents to those brats below.”
"I, I see." Chen Jing nodded, his expression not very good-looking.
For people in the demon world, there is a very clear dividing line between seniority and inferiority and strength.
The lower ranks must never disobey the higher ranks.
Therefore, the white-haired man in the shrine is the god of everyone in the entire Linshanzhuang. As long as it is not a strong man who is also the captain, he does not have to greet him.Even if other commanders came to Lai Villa, it would be a gesture of the landlord's kindness and face for the other party if he came forward to greet him. If he didn't go out to greet him, then no one would be able to make irresponsible remarks.
Because, according to unwritten rules, the commander of a local army is half a rank higher than the commander of the visiting army.
After all, the visitor is a guest, and can only be a guest.
That's why when Su Anran and Song Jue came, they were received by Chen Jing.
That's because Su Anran and Song Jue are both strong enough, even stronger than Chen Jing, so according to the rules, as the host, Chen Jing's status is half a level higher, and it is exactly the same if he comes to receive them. ——If it is not impossible to receive two newcomers who have just been promoted to chief, but it will inevitably be a little impolite, and it is easy to offend people.
Given the special circumstances of the demon world, no gathering place would easily offend wolves.
Because no one can be sure when you will need the aid of wolves.Once you offend the wolves, the reputation of the gathering place will be bad, and when you are attacked by monsters in the future, naturally no wolves will be willing to come to help, and certainly no wolves will pass by.
No gathering place would do such a stupid thing.
Chen Jing has not yet reached this height, so he can only understand half of the situation, and the other half will be gradually understood in his future life.
And if there are no accidents, then the next shrine owner of Linshanzhuang will be Chen Jing.
This is also the reason why the white-haired man is willing to explain so thoroughly to Chen Jing.
He is already a bit old, and he can't last long if he thinks about it, so the matter of finding a successor is naturally on his agenda.After all, Linshanzhuang was built by him from scratch. Seeing that Linshanzhuang, which was only a dozen or so households back then, has developed little by little to what it is today, he naturally does not want this Linshanzhuang to disappear after his death.
Unfortunately……
The white-haired man sighed.
"If you work harder and put more effort into training, you won't have to invite Lei Dao to come over, so we dare to let the other party step into the shrine."
Hearing the white-haired man's words, Chen Jing lowered his head in shame: "My lord, I..."
"Sooner or later, Lin Shanzhuang will be handed over to you. In the future, think more about things and talk less." The man looked like he was only in his forties, but the words he said were full of old age.
"Yes." Chen Jing lowered his head.
The middle-aged man shook his head and said nothing more.
In fact, he was not that worried about Su Anran and Song Jue at this time.
Because just looking at Chen Jing's appearance before, he knew that Chen Jing must have behaved badly in front of Su Anran and Song Jue.If those two people were really monsters, they would have started killing in Linshan Villa already.Of course, there was no mass killing at this time, and it didn't mean that the two were not monsters, maybe they had other plans?
Therefore, the middle-aged man just let go of half of his heart.
The other half will not be able to make a decision until they meet the two of them tomorrow.
Chapter 205 Goal
On the second day after coming to Linshanzhuang, Su Anran met the real owner here.
Helen broke.
At the age of forty, it should be the time for fighting in the prime of life, but He Lianpo gave Su Anran the feeling of an old man in his seventies and eighties.
The blood in his body was almost completely condensed.
With just one glance, Su Anran could tell that He Lianpo probably didn't have a few chances to make a move—with his current physical condition, every shot would cost his life, and if he didn't do it two or three times, he might have to close his eyes and die.
In comparison, Chen Jing, who just passed by, was not as vigorous as He Lianpo, but his potential was definitely higher.
There was no comparison yesterday, and Su Anran was not sure about many things.
But seeing these two people today, he already felt certain in his heart: Chen Jing is the successor of Linshan Villa trained by He Lianpo.
After a while of meaningless greetings and courtesies, Su Anran didn't want to continue this kind of boring probing, so she said straight to the point: "As for our reason for coming, I think the owner of Helian should be very clear. We want to know where we are going. Only by walking in the same direction can we go to Jiutou Mountain."
"Are you going back to Jiumen Village?"
Probably because he was not used to Su Anran's direct way of asking, so He Lianpo pondered for a moment before speaking again.
"No, it's Jiutou Mountain."
Jiumen Village, built at the foot of Jiutou Mountain, sounds the same.
But in fact, Su Anran, who asked about the situation from Song Jue, knew that Jiutou Mountain is actually a huge mountain range composed of nine mountains. head hill.
And there are more than a dozen gathering places built around Jiutou Mountain.
Among them, the three gathering places of Jiumen Village, Jiulongzhuang, and Jiuming Shrine are the largest.
Because each of these three gathering places has the strongest Renzhuli in the demon world.
It can be said that Jiutou Mountain is the holy place in the world of demons.
So going to Jiutou Mountain or going to Jiumen Village, this sentence seems to be the same, but in fact the meaning it represents is completely different.
"That's it." He Lianpo just nodded slightly as if he didn't hear the subtext in Su Anran's words, "Those two might as well stay here for a few more days, Lei Dao is coming over in a few days, he He is also from Jiumen Village, you can go back with him when the time comes, so you can have someone to take care of you on the way."
Hearing He Lianpo's words, Su Anran couldn't help but frowned slightly, and there was a bit of doubt on her face: "Thunder Knife?"
It's not that he's pretending, but that he really doesn't know who this person is.
