polar demon

Chapter 213 Mine ([-])

"Demon? You say I'm a demon?"

The girl seemed to think of something, and her eyes became blank and confused.

But then, her eyes quickly regained clarity and firmness:
"I'm not a demon! I'm a human!"

Jiang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Are you pretending to be crazy with me? Or do you think that you can escape my eyes?"

The girl looked at Jiang Yuan, and said as if arguing:
"I'm human! I'm Yu Ling, Yu Sheng's daughter! People from Wei County, this year!"

Jiang Yuan couldn't help being surprised when he saw that the girl who called herself Yu Ling spoke seriously and decisively.

At this time, Han Chao, who was checking the vicinity, suddenly called out:

"There is still one alive here! Young Master, do you want to kill him? But judging by his appearance, he won't live long."

Jiang Yuan turned his head and looked, and saw an old man in his fifties protruding from a large padded jacket that Han Chao lifted from the ground.

The old man had been cut with a sword, and the blood had already dyed his gray beard and hair red.His eyes were still open, but his legs were twitching.

The girl who called herself Yu Ling suddenly called out:
"Uncle Li Shan!"

While shouting, Yu Ling rushed to the old man's side quickly:

"Uncle Li Shan, how are you doing?"

Han Chao beside the old man laughed and said:

"This old man's sternum has been chopped into pieces, and he can't live anymore!"

Yu Ling ignored Han Chao, but tried to block the shocking sword wound on the old man's chest with her hands.However, the wound was too long and too deep, so no matter how hard Yu Ling tried, she couldn't stop the blood gushing from it.

The old man's already dazed eyes finally got a little focus at this time, and he said weakly under the reflection of the light:

"Miss, the older I get, the more afraid I am of death. I can't help the master and miss. I'm sorry."

Yu Ling clutched the old man's hand tightly and was already sobbing.

Jiang Yuan also came to the old man:

"Do you know that your lady is a demon?"

"Miss is a demon?" the old man said, "How could it be possible that I watched Miss grow up since I was a child. But"

Having said that, the old man seemed to think of something, he turned to look at Yu Ling:

"Miss, there is something that the master has no chance to tell you. I can only speak. In fact, the lady was adopted by the master. The wife left early, and the master has no intention of remarrying. I have no children under my knees. I met in Xuanjiang. The young lady who was abandoned into the wooden basin and floated to the shore did not allow us to mention it, and we never dared to say it. Sorry."

The old man held Yu Ling's hand tightly and slowly let go, his pupils began to dilate, his chest sank, and there was no more ups and downs or breathing.

Yu Ling cried out in grief, and cried heart-piercingly.

No one likes such an annoying cry, Han Chao's eyes flashed fiercely, and he asked:
"Master, do you want me to tell her to shut up?"

Jiang Yuan thought for a while and said:

"never mind."

Han Chao clasped his fists at Jiang Yuan, then continued to inspect the surrounding area with a knife in his hand.

The vicinity has been quickly checked, and there are no other living people.

The fires burning on the carriage and tents were not extinguished by anyone. With the flames, at least they could be warmer in this snowy night.

Han Chao, Yuan He, and Geng Chang found some wine and food among the unburned goods, and then sat down by the fire and drank.

The ugly warrior with the head and deep eyes was still kneeling on the ground. He kept saying good things to Han Chao and others, but no one paid attention to him.

Yu Ling's bitter crying gradually turned into low sobs.

Jiang Yuan, who had been sitting next to her, said at this moment:
"Hey! I'm very interested in your story, tell me, maybe I will allow you to take revenge."

Yu Ling began to talk about her past, from how she was ignorant and mischievous when she was a child, to the happiest day when she was doing business with her father, seeing strange scenery and culture everywhere, and tasting delicious food all over the world.

Later, the father and daughter met acquaintances in Weicheng outside, only to learn that many people had died in Wei County haunted by ghosts, and the entire Wei County had been blocked by officers and soldiers and no one was allowed to enter.The father and daughter, who lost their family business and were heavily indebted, had to come to Wushe County to seek refuge with their relatives. After receiving all the cold eyes from others, their father used the last borrowed money to make a comeback and go to the turbulent Dan County to make money.

And later, tonight, everything has been frozen in this cold winter night with snow and wind.

After Jiang Yuan listened quietly, it was the first time he had heard news about Wei County.

To the east of Yang County is Taiping Town, and further east of Taiping Town is Wei County.As for Wei County, if you go north, you can break away from the boundary of Guxi County and come to Wushe County.

Jiang Yuan clearly remembered that on that night like purgatory on earth, Yang County was assigned to the Corpse God Dao, while Wei County was assigned to the Five Ghost Dao.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yuan asked:
"Didn't you realize that you are a demon? Or... you already know but don't want to admit it?"

"I don't know. I won't get sick since I was a child, and I get better faster than other children when I get injured. I can still see things that others can't see."

When Yu Ling said this, she raised her head and looked at Jiang Yuan:

"But I'm human! I'm Yu Sheng's daughter, Yu Ling! People from Wei County, this year!"

Jiang Yuan fell silent when he heard the words.

A demon who thought he was a human resonated with him.

Is it the same for myself?
He doesn't quite understand whether Jiang Yuan still belongs to human beings now.

Am I like the girl in front of me, who is obviously not a human being, but still stubbornly sticks to the identity of a "human"?

He shook his head, dismissing these thoughts:

"What do I think these useless things are for? They can't be eaten, and they can't be spent as money! As long as I live well!"

So Jiang Yuan grabbed Yu Ling's arm and brought her to the ugly warrior who was still kneeling in the snow.

"You have two choices," Jiang Yuan said, "kill him, or eat him."

When Han Chao and Yuan He saw that Jiang Yuan was going to do something, they hurriedly threw away the food and drink in their hands and ran over.They twisted the ugly warrior's arms behind him, lowering his waist so that his neck was exposed.

Yu Ling looked at Jiang Yuan suspiciously:
"……eat?"

"Isn't it normal for demons to eat people?" Jiang Yuan said, "You have such a big hatred with him, wouldn't it be a pleasure to eat his flesh and blood? I know you have never eaten people, but I have heard people say that demons eat After becoming a human being, being able to better understand yourself is similar to 'awakening', and at the same time your strength will also increase greatly."

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Yuan still reminded:
"But I've also heard that there are some bad side effects of this, that is, you can't face the sun anymore, and after eating the first person, you have to eat the second and third ones that you can't stop."

Yu Ling looked at the ugly warrior with the head and deep eyes in hatred, she gritted her teeth tightly and said:
"I'm a human, I don't eat people!"

Jiang Yuan stared at Yu Ling for a while, then drew a waist knife from Han Chao's waist and handed it to Yu Ling:

"Then there is another option."

Yu Ling took the sharp waist knife, but her whole body couldn't stop shaking, and she almost couldn't hold the knife steadily.

At this time, Yu Ling couldn't help but began to hate, hated herself for being cowardly.

She wanted to cut this ugly warrior into pieces all the time, but when this moment really came, she was actually afraid.

Not to mention chopping it down, even lifting the knife was extremely difficult for her.

Jiang Yuan grew impatient, he came behind Yu Ling, and grabbed Yu Linghuan's hand in his arms.

Yu Ling trembled all over, her body tensed up suddenly.

Jiang Yuan's powerful big hand firmly grasped Yu Ling's delicate hand holding the knife, and he controlled Yu Ling to raise the waist knife high:

"It's not difficult, it's fine after the first time. Keep your eyes on his neck and chop it down!"

The ugly martial artist with the deep eyes and the head made a sound. I don't know if he wanted to beg for mercy or curse, but Han Chao had already kicked him in the mouth, dislocating his jaw.

"Ready." Jiang Yuan said.

Before Yu Ling could respond, Jiang Yuan grabbed her hand and slashed down.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the ugly warrior with the head and deep eyes screamed in pain.

This knife did not cut on the warrior's neck, but on his back.

Yu Ling was so frightened that she trembled violently again:

"Chop chop crooked!"

"I did it on purpose." Jiang Yuan laughed loudly, "Don't you have a sworn feud with him? How can you let him die like this if you don't add a little pain to him?"

Looking at the wound on the warrior's vest, Yu Ling couldn't help closing her eyes.

Jiang Yuan said in her ear:

"Open your eyes!"

So Yu Ling could only open her eyes again.

Jiang Yuan continued to control her hand and raised the knife:

"Okay, I don't like to torture and kill others either. With this knife, we'll cut off his head. Remember, use all your strength!"

Yu Ling gritted her teeth and controlled herself to concentrate all her strength on the hand holding the knife.

Afterwards, Jiang Yuan pressed his hand down, and Yu Ling couldn't help but let out a low cry, and the waist knife slashed off.

The ugly warrior's head fell off his shoulders and rolled into the snow.

Jiang Yuan quickly released his hand when he pressed it down. This knife was completely cut by Yu Ling himself.

Yu Ling stared blankly at the head in the snow, then suddenly dropped the waist knife in her hand, turned around and threw herself into Jiang Yuan's arms and began to cry.

Jiang Yuan laughed loudly and patted Yu Ling's back.

Han Chao picked up the waist knife from the ground, grabbed a handful of snow from the ground, wiped off the blood on the blade, and then put the waist knife back into the sheath again.

The cold wind howled between the sky and the earth, and the snow on the ground was blown up, and the snow particles were dancing randomly with the wind.

The group sat by the bonfire again. They broke off the shaft of the carriage and threw it into the bonfire.

The fire was blazing, and Geng Chang drew on the ground with a wooden branch:

"In three days' time, we will go all the way south, and we will be able to reach Jinhui Mountain. That area belongs to the territory of Jujianmen, and all the good open-pit mines on Jinhuishan are occupied by Jujianmen. The place you are going to, son, is here. It is a section to the east of Jinhui Mountain, where underground mining is carried out, and it is close to the junction of Guxi County and Wushe County."

Jiang Yuan nodded and asked:

"How is the situation at the junction now?"

Geng Chang replied:
"The junction has been blocked by officers and soldiers almost a year ago, and no one is allowed to approach. Otherwise, most of the ores mined from the mines in the past were sold to Wei County in Guxi County. With the stationing of officers and soldiers, they are also very concerned about the mines. Interested. Several mines near the border are all owned by officers and soldiers."

Jiang Yuan was a little puzzled when he heard this. The officers and soldiers were stationed to prevent the ghosts from the five ghosts of Wei County from wandering into other places to cause trouble.

Since there are officers and soldiers stationed there, how did the five ghosts from Wei County get into Wushe County and attack the Lan family's children in the mine?
