Urban Demon Slayer

Chapter 16: Gifted

In the face of Wang Qianchen’s repeated questions, Zhou Junxian didn’t feel annoyed, just gave him a meaningful look before slowly saying: “I don’t know the specific situation, I only know that a battle of gods seems to have broken out in the heavens. Even the gods from abroad were involved. All the gods on our side were worthy of force, no matter if they were gods or gods, or those yamas and emissaries in the underworld, basically all participated, leaving only us, the old and the weak. Left in the human world. I don’t know what the final result will be, but since then, the heaven has lost contact, and even the underworld has disappeared… On the contrary, there are more and more monsters, so it is really thanks to those monster slayers, otherwise the world It won’t be as peaceful as it is now!”

If these words were put on hold three days ago, Wang Qianchen would never have believed them, but the various strange events that have happened to him in the past three days have already made him unable to believe them, and if he thinks about it carefully, there are really few myths and legends in the past hundred years. A lot, perhaps because the heaven and the underworld have completely lost contact.

Wang Qianchen sorted out his thoughts a little before continuing to ask, “What kind of organization is Monster Slayer?”

Zhou Junxian was silent for a while, as if he was organizing language, and said in a way that Wang Qianchen could accept: “Even if you have never been in contact with monsters before, you should know from some legends and stories that monsters have been around since ancient times. , whether animals or plants, living or inanimate, even if it is a brick, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, the aura of heaven and earth, or experiencing certain opportunities, it is possible to become a monster!”

“Can a brick become a demon?” Wang Qianchen looked surprised.

“Yeah, I saw it with my own eyes once. It was more than three hundred years ago. Just outside the gate of the Chenghuang Temple, a highly respected monk passed by and was photographed on the head by a jealous Taoist priest. A brick, that brick is stained with the blood of a monk who has achieved Taoism, and it becomes a monster. It often flies in the middle of the night and slaps people’s heads. Many passers-by are killed… I subdued it, and it is still in the backyard. In the water tank next to the toilet!” Zhou Junxian recounted this past event triumphantly.

“…You should continue to talk about slaying monsters!” Wang Qianchen felt a little off topic.

“Well, it is precisely because the number and types of monsters are endless, and things that endanger the people from time to time. We immortals must not be able to handle it, so we recruited some mortals to help kill monsters and eliminate demons. In exchange, they can learn spiritual power. , spells, the best of them can even become immortals, this is the initial prototype of the demon slayer. The organization of the demon slayer has existed for thousands of years, and it has always been managed by our gods, but since that incident a hundred years ago In the future, the gods who remain in the mortal world will become weaker and weaker and unable to give them any help, so they will cooperate with the military of Daxia and become a branch of the military to jointly maintain the harmony of this society.”

“So that’s the case…” Wang Qianchen couldn’t help but feel a little emotional. Although he didn’t like Li Qianqiu very much, he had to admire his work. Most people didn’t know the existence of monsters, and they still had to thank these monster slayers for their silent protection.

“Don’t blame Lao Li, his whole family died at the hands of monsters, and he has an unforgettable hatred for monsters… Knowing that you are not a monster, didn’t he kill you?” As if seeing what Wang Qianchen was thinking, Zhou Junxian spoke directly. said.

“The whole family died at the hands of the monsters?!” Wang Qianchen looked shocked.

“…Well.” Zhou Junxian obviously didn’t want to say more about this. “In the entire Luzhou City Monster Slayer team, he is definitely the most serious and responsible one.”

“Monster Slayer Team? How many Monster Slayers are there in Luzhou City?”

“Five, one captain, four team members.”

“They must be paid very high, right?” Wang Qianchen suddenly thought of something and asked immediately.

“This… I haven’t inquired about this, but it shouldn’t be too low. Killing demons is definitely not too low!” Zhou Junxian really didn’t care about this issue, and he wasn’t interested in mortal money either.

“Then how can I join Monster Slayer?” Wang Qianchen immediately asked with bright eyes, he still needs money, after all, his father is still lying in the hospital.

He had thought about making money with his special abilities before, such as being an athlete to crush Bolt and the like, bonuses and endorsements would definitely be soft, but now I know that there are not a few people with special abilities, since others have not done this. Making a living must be out of some kind of prudence.

And Li Qianqiu also warned him to keep a low profile!

Since other paths are not feasible, joining the Monster Slayer to receive a high salary is obviously a very safe choice!

“It’s not easy to join the Monster Slayer. Generally speaking, there are three ways. One is ancestral. For example, if the father is a Monster Slayer, he can recommend his child to become a Monster Slayer, which is what we commonly call successor. The other is from a famous demon slayer. The big factions, such as Maoshan, Longhushan, Putuoshan, etc. that we are familiar with, these people have their own skills, and it is naturally easy to join the monster slayer; there is another kind of talent, which is actively absorbed by the monster slayer…”

“Master Zhou, do you think I am talented?” Wang Qianchen rubbed his hands together and asked expectantly.
