Half fairy

Chapter 10 Calamity
Both of them knew the truth behind the rampant evil spirits.

There is a demon cultivator, known as Empress Qixia, who is the number one demon in the southwest of Jin Kingdom. She has a son who was recently killed.

The murderer who killed his son was the direct disciple of the commander of Sinan's house.

The cause of the incident is very vulgar, because one woman and two men are attracted to it.Under the jealousy, the disciple of the commander of Sinan House set up a trap, framed Qixia's son and murdered the people of Jin Kingdom, violated the "fifty miles agreement", and killed him directly.

The so-called "Fifty Mile Covenant" is an agreement reached between humans and demons in order to quell each other's endless fighting.

Around cities, towns, townships, and villages where people live, as well as on both sides of official roads, as well as some waters, monsters are not allowed to approach within [-] miles.Once trespassing, no matter what they do or not, humans can unconditionally kill them.Likewise, if a person steps out of that [-]-mile range, the demons can be irresponsible after committing a murder.

The demarcation of the land is the boundary, and no trespassing is allowed, which is called the demon world.

Between the boundaries, we live between the ground and the earth, which is called the human world.

In short, everyone maintains a certain safe distance and living space.

Of course, the two sides will not have no exchanges, and the details can be negotiated with each other. As long as they have the permission of the other party, they can naturally communicate with each other at will.

It is precisely because of the long-term contact between humans and demons that the profession of 'monster solver', which Master Yuqi is engaged in, was born.Because of their understanding of demons, those who can refine some items that target or heal demons are called demon solvers.

As the son of Empress Qixia, it is not a problem to get permission to pass through the world, but you can't just go to the world and kill innocent people.

How could Empress Qixia easily let go of the revenge of killing her son, naturally she wanted to force Sinan to hand over the murderer of his son.

But who is the commander of Sinan House?Emperor Jin made him the national teacher and gave him the title of "Mother of the Earth". He was one of the few masters in the half-immortal realm.

How could such a person's direct disciple be handed over to an old monster for execution, so that Mother Earth and Sinan House's faces would be put?

Naturally, the Sinan mansion continued to use the murderer's excuse to say that Qixia's son had violated the 'Fifty Mile Covenant'.

It's okay to use this thing to suppress the incompetent people, but the big demon can't eat this trick, and directly launches the demon cultivation to cause chaos, so as to coerce.

It was said that Qixia had spoken, and she was willing to give ten 'evil spirit pills' as a reward, and exchange the ten heads of the students who were taking the exam for one 'evil spirit pill'.

The Nie Ling Pill is not an ordinary thing, one is worth 10 million taels of silver.

The division of the cultivation realm of Zhenwu, Xuanshi, and Banxian was also applied to the grades of some occupations to distinguish the skill level.For example, the refining ability of a demon reliever is also divided into martial level, mysterious level and immortal level. Nie Lingdan can only be refined by a demon reliever with immortal level refining ability. Ability to refine.

For many demon cultivators, being able to comprehend spirituality from birds and beasts, and then cultivate into a demon, there are many karma involved, which does not mean that the second generation of demons can also cultivate into a demon.And the evil spirit pill can just open the intelligence of birds and beasts. Once the intelligence is opened, you can naturally understand the guidance and enter the cultivation stage.

Nie Lingdan is very attractive to many demon cultivators, and some people who are not short of money even take it to their pets.

One evil spirit pill for ten candidates' heads.

In other words, a candidate's head is worth one million taels of silver, and one person can't collect ten candidates' heads to exchange, and can collect them from others.

The imperial court and the Sinan Mansion are trying their best to block the news about this matter. Once the news spreads, a candidate's head can be exchanged for 1 million taels of silver. I'm afraid it's not just demon cultivators who are excited. Who can guarantee that there will be no demon cultivators secretly? People are also involved?The lure of that much money is no small feat.

The movement that Qixia made with this hand was not as simple as exchanging a hundred heads for ten evil spirit beads.

Fortunately, both sides are still relatively restrained.

Qixia was only targeting the official, not killing ordinary people, otherwise the consequences of the sea of ​​blood would be that everyone would not be able to turn back.

Sinan House also knows that justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and that he knows that there is no chaos, and has been in a defensive posture.

How dare the two masters get involved in this kind of thing, Yu Qi tentatively said: "Can you not want us two to participate in the escort?"

Lu Jihui laughed and said: "The two masters don't have to think too much, but in this limelight, they want to borrow the reputation of the two to show their faces in front of the candidates, maybe it will make those candidates feel more at ease."

Di Zang: "Sir, do you mean that the candidates also know about the evil spirits' troubles?"

Lu Jiquan laughed, "These days, there are a few small families who can't afford to fill their stomachs. Most of the people who can pass the township examination are the children of the gentry. These people may not know what the Sinan House does, but Don't expect to hide the news of the accident from them, although I ordered Liezhou not to publicize this matter, but it is useless."

Di Zang nodded in understanding.

Yu Qi frowned, and suddenly said, "I just came from Youjiaobu, and there are some things, I am afraid that adults should prepare early."

Di Zang looked at him differently, and Lu Jihui said, "I would like to hear the details."

Yuqi: "Youya has sent out another public task, asking for three 'fire crickets'."

There is a steep cliff in Youjiaobu. The people who live on the cliff are also the founders of Youjiaobu. They have always controlled the rules of Youjiaobu. Over time, the cliff is called Youya.

Youya will issue reward quests from time to time. The quests have nothing to do with the outside world and are only issued to the merchants in Youjiao Port.

There is no predictability in the timing of tasks, sometimes several times a year, sometimes not once in a few years.The nature of the quest is also unpredictable, and Youya will not force the merchants to do the quest. In short, it is for everyone to take care of it. If you want to take it, you will take it, and there will be no punishment if you don't. It is a completely casual attitude.

But one thing is certain, you will not be busy working in vain, and you will be rewarded for completing the task.

Rewards are the old rules.

Those who complete the task can make a reasonable request to Youya.

That is to say, as long as the request is not excessive, Youya will agree.

The demand for rewards is limited to the inside of Youjiao Port. Youya has never interfered in matters outside the port, and will not help you to do anything to kill people.

As for the process of everyone completing the task, as long as you don't violate the rules in Youjiao Port, Youya won't care whether you kill someone or not.

Lu Jiwei became more and more puzzled, "Fire cricket? What?"

Di Zang looked blank and thought, obviously not knowing what it was.

Yu Qi: "As soon as this task was hung up, many people were confused at first and didn't know what it was. In fact, it's normal to not know. What is Youjiaobu? The place where the most rare things are bought and sold in the world, even Youjiaobu. You can imagine the rarity of things that the major shops can't bring out, and You Ya has to send a task to find them.

Many people searched the classics for a while, and then gradually figured out what it was.It is a little cricket-like creature that lives in the ground fire lava zone, which is very rare.Everyone doesn't know why Youya wants this thing. The problem is that this thing is hidden deep underground and will not easily reach the ground. Based on this alone, it is difficult to do.

According to the records in the classics, this thing is like a spirit in a fire, and the specific habits are not clear in the classics, and the recorder should not know much.Master Lu, do you know where the fire cricket recorded in the ancient books was found? "

Lu Jiwei chuckled, "Sir, this question stumped me. I usually don't know much about exploration. Is it possible that the question, sir, is not possible in my state?"

Yuqi told the answer, "Not in Liezhou, but near Liezhou, the ancient mound wasteland!"

The scene was silent for a moment, and I was no stranger to this place name, it was indeed near Liezhou.

The reason why it is called 'ancient tomb' is naturally related to the cemetery.

Legend has it that a long time ago, there were many giants in this world. They worked for the immortals and were the warriors of the immortals. Later, they all died out for unknown reasons. Later, someone found a large number of giant bones somewhere, and they are immortal after a long time. , this place is the ancient mound wasteland.

"Living in the area of ​​fire and lava..." Di Zang muttered to himself in a thoughtful manner, and suddenly said: "After that wasteland was discovered to be the giant cemetery, because of the legend of the immortals, in order to find clues to the immortals, there was inevitably someone in the future. I ran to dig, and a certain dynasty even assembled a large army to dig. There are many tunnels leading to the deep underground in the ancient mound wasteland, which may be the best place to find fire crickets. The reason why the ancient books can record that fire crickets were found in ancient times Tomb wasteland, I am afraid it is also the reason for this geographical advantage."

Lu Jiwei got up. He didn't care about this. He walked to the side of Xuan Pavilion and pulled a rope, shuh!A curtain hangs down, blocking one side of the light.

Look again, it's not a curtain, but a large map, the whole map of Jin Guo, Lu Jiwei stared at the map and frowned.

Di and Yu also got up and walked to the map, where they found the ancient tomb wasteland next to Liezhou.

The area of ​​the wasteland is very large, almost equivalent to the area of ​​a state. Because of the special environment, there is no human gathering place in the territory.

After staring at the picture and examining it, Lu Jiwei pointed at the three intersecting lines in the ancient tomb wasteland, "There are three roads in the ancient tomb leading to the surrounding states, and the road from the southwest to the northeast is also the way from Liezhou to the capital. the nearest way."

Hearing the worry in his tone, Di Zang said, "Are you worried that the merchants in Youjiaobu will also take the opportunity to be detrimental to my Liezhou candidates?"

Lu Jihui: "Is it possible, the two gentlemen should know better than Lu."

Yu Qi sighed, "That's what I'm worried about for the adults. The date for sending the candidates has arrived, and the people who did the tasks at Youjiaobu should also arrive at the ancient tomb. The temptation given by Empress Qixia is not small, it is difficult to Make sure those people don't take a fish by the way. My lord, for the sake of safety, you might as well take a detour."
