Please Kill the Demon

The sound of crackling flames continued, and half of the forest was burned into black wreckage. The earth was full of corpses, and a few figures walked among them, looking for any remaining enemies.

The young man who had confidently shouted to the court soldiers and horses before was squatting on a side of the hill at the moment, his eyes were empty.

His hair was disheveled, his complexion was yellow, and he was skinny. He was not injured after a bloody fight, and his body was covered in other people's blood. It's just that the fierceness just now disappeared completely, and only confusion remained in his eyes.

"Brother Jiang Tong." Suddenly there was a childish call from behind.

The young man turned his head and found that it was a scrawny little girl holding a pack of dry food in her hand.

"Yaoyao?" The young man immediately retracted his eyes, and his eyes burst out again, and then he turned his head and said, "What's the matter?"

"Everyone found a lot of food, mother asked me to bring it to you first." The little girl named Yaoyao handed over the food.

"I'm not hungry, Yaoyao eat." The young man gently stroked the little girl's head.

"Mother said that you haven't eaten for several days, and you just fought a war, so you can't go hungry." Yaoyao insisted.

"Hey." The young man smiled, "Because I have a high level of cultivation, my bloodline of the demon clan is the purest, and I can live for a long time with spiritual energy, but you can't. I still have to give you something to eat first, go back quickly, here is what it says It might be dangerous."

After driving the little girl off the hill, the young man turned around again.

At this time, there was already a figure in a black robe in front of him, his face was completely covered, and no features could be seen clearly.

"Jiangtong Lu?" the man in black asked.

"It's me." The young man frowned, "It seems that there is another contact person, why is it that no matter who they are, they are always elusive?"

"It's such a simple thing to give you support. If you didn't do it in a concealed manner, you would have been caught by the Jian Guofu long ago." The black-robed man said, throwing a jade slip.

Crack, Lu Jiangtong raised his hand to catch it.

"Inside is where you are going next, and there are enough supplies to get there." The black-robed man said again: "There will be special people to guide you when you leave Mangshan Mountain. Remember to take care of your people and don't go out. If there is any leak, no one will be able to protect you."

"There is still only food..." Lu Jiangtong said: "You let us fight with the court. I need weapons, magic weapons, and mounts. We Mangshan people have nothing to fear, but if everything is in place, my brothers will also be willing to fight." There will be fewer deaths."

"Those are things whose source can be found out, and it is up to you to grab them." The black robe said humanely: "You have to know that in the current Yu Dynasty, food is the most precious thing."

"Of course I know." Lu Jiangtong smiled self-deprecatingly.

"And..." the black robe said humanely: "The most important point is that if there are people who transform into demons, don't be soft-hearted and kill them on the spot. The demon clans in the southern region are also very violent. If this continues, they may find Come to you. You are already the great enemy of the imperial court, if you have anything to do with the monster race, then all nine heavens and ten earths will come to an end..."

"Heh." The corners of Lu Jiangtong's mouth rose even more, but there was a fierce look in his eyes.

The reason why the Mangshan people have been discriminated against for generations is because of the demon blood on their bodies. In the eyes of many people, as long as there is a trace of demon blood in the body, it is no different from the demon clan.

Because people with demon blood in their bodies, although they practice extremely fast and have extraordinary talents, there is also the possibility of returning to their ancestors and becoming a demon at any time. Especially for people with higher talent, it may mean that the purer the demon blood, the greater the harm if they return to their ancestors.

The influence of the demon blood may also lead to violent temperament, indifference, and difficult to get along with, which further intensifies the conflict.

So after thousands of years, the Mangshan people still can't fully integrate into the Southern Region, which is why there are so many Mangshan people who have turned into bandits.

Under such sharp contradictions, the imperial court could only tighten stricter control, prohibiting Mangshan people from cultivating, so as not to cause a catastrophe that is hard to deal with; prohibiting Mangshan people from intermarriage, so as to prevent the spread of demonic blood...

Mangshan people knew in their hearts that people outside were waiting for them to fend for themselves.

It's just that he could still live, as long as he had a bite to eat, no one would want to rebel.

About thirty years ago, someone began to secretly provide the Mangshan people with the skills and resources needed for cultivation, allowing those with outstanding talents to practice secretly. This kind of behavior was originally strictly prohibited by the imperial court and various immortal sects, but due to its small scale and the people from Mangshan Mountain who were well-cultivated did not go out to cause trouble, so they have never been discovered.

Until a few years ago, there were constant natural disasters in Kyushu, famine everywhere, and the living environment in Mangshan became even worse. Now Mangshan people could not survive at all.

This is the reason for the repeated looting before and the complete killing of officials and rebellion today.

And behind this, there is another force that seeks help from Lu Jiangtong, the leader of the Mangshantu, in advance.

The requirement of this force is that once someone turns into a demon, he will be killed immediately.

The successive battles would have greatly increased the probability of the demon descendants returning to their ancestors. Now every mangshan disciple is fighting at great risk. If a desperate person is finally killed by his own brother, it is an extremely cruel thing.

The people behind still asked Lu Jiangtong to do this, obviously to draw a line between him and the Yaozu.

But what they didn't know was that Yaozu had already approached Lu Jiangtong.

Just now.

After the black-robed man left, Lu Jiangtong squatted down again, staring blankly at the bloody and blackened battlefield in front of him. Someone was very hungry and wanted to cut meat from the corpse to eat, but was stopped by a group of people. It's not that there is any taboo, but that Mang Shantu has tried it several times before. After eating human flesh, the chance of turning into a demon will increase greatly. Once you turn into a demon, you can't come back.

Lu Jiangtong gritted his teeth, his gaze gradually firmed up.

Before Mang Shantu came out of the mountain, everyone hated and disgusted him; after Mang Shantu came out of the mountain, everyone wanted to use him as a knife.

People don't treat us as humans, and demons don't treat us as monsters.

Let the whole world know about it...

Mangshantu is a man when he is full, but a monster when he is hungry!

...

"This snow clam meat, absolutely!"

Attendant B gave a thumbs up and introduced to everyone the top-quality ingredients of Hongyuefang.

Although he is now one of the famous Four Overlords in Shushan, a catering giant with many stores in the Xiuxian world, and the dream lover of many girls, he is nicknamed Gao Shanhu and Meng Shouyang.

But he still doesn't change his original intention, every time there is a new ingredient, he has to try it out. No one is more familiar with the ingredients in Hongyuefang than him.

Today, relatives and friends of Yinjianfeng gathered here to celebrate the return of Chu Liang. All the ingredients were personally selected by the servant B, and they were moved from Hongyuefang. They are definitely the best.

"These meats are all from red-tailed beef, which is very different from ordinary beef..."

"This freshness is a kind of monster in the Western Regions. It looks like a plant and has blood. The locals are called the ogre flower. I also had a whim. This thing can eat people. Can that person eat it? I found it after I tried it. Pretty good."

"..."

He introduced here, after serving all the dishes, Shang Ziliang suddenly sighed: "In recent years, there have been famines in many parts of the world, and we are really lucky to be able to feast here."

"Famine?" Chu Liang raised his eyes and asked, "Isn't Yao Dengxian sitting in town, will it affect the harvest?"

"Alas..." Mentioning this, Lin Bei also sighed and said, "It's not that simple. Siyun Avenue can change the sky, such as droughts and floods. But sudden earthquakes, wildfires, tsunamis, landslides, strong winds, and blizzards , Migrating locusts... These natural disasters come one after another, and it's not just a matter of simply changing the sky."

"How could this be?" Chu Liang frowned, "After the Golden Dragon left, Yu Chao didn't find a new luck beast?"

"This is no longer a matter of luck beasts..." Shang Ziliang explained: "Originally, the auspicious beast of the four seas appeared in Kyushu once, and it should be aimed at suppressing luck. But not long after, Yu Chao's national luck began to go crazy. This is gossip, and I can't guarantee it, but it is said that the country's luck suddenly began to decline rapidly, and those divine beasts who came to compete for the suppression of luck also left one after another."

The decline of the national fortune will lead to troubled times, and Chu Liang is inevitably worried. This is not a good sign.

"The world is in chaos, and there are more evil and tricky cases." Lin Bei said again, "In recent years, the number of tasks to change sword pavilions has increased significantly. Senior brother often has to deal with it, and no one else can be seen on Shushan all day long."

The big brother he was talking about was naturally Xu Ziyang. In the two days since Chu Liang came back, he had indeed not seen Senior Brother Xu.

"Actually, the rise of the Cotton Tree Peak is somewhat catching up with this general trend..." Chu Yi on the side also said, "Because the world is in chaos and practitioners are beginning to worry about their own safety, our delivery service will Overwhelming Taotie City. If not, the advantage may not be manifested so quickly."

Even if he said that, Chu Liang couldn't possibly be happy.

Practitioners are superior, if even they start to worry about their own safety, how difficult will the lives of ordinary people be?

After thinking for a while, he said again: "Then can we organize some disaster relief activities? Hongmian Peak has made a lot of money over the years, so we can take some out?"

Chu Yi replied: "Actually, funds have been very tight, because we have been fighting with Taotie City and Xianrenfang Mingli and Secretly, but if we suspend expansion and just keep the existing share, then we should be able to spare money soon."

"I heard that there will be a banquet in Yunque Temple in a few days..." Lin Bei was about to say something.

"Senior Brother Chu!" Wen Yulong, who was late, suddenly rushed in, without even looking at the food on the table, excitedly said: "I'm done!"
