Demon Slayer Starts From the Proficiency Panel

  Chapter 20 [020] The Monster Behind the Scenes

In Ning Xiu's memory, the    drum, urn and golden hammer was the first of the four great hammers and the eight great hammers.

The power of    is fierce, and if you hit someone with a hammer, you will lose your life and you will not be able to get up again.

   Can be used by a human-action weapon, and the power of this hammer is naturally more not to be underestimated.

  When Ning Xiu took over this golden hammer for drumming and urn from the people of Wanbao Caravan, he immediately realized what it was like to hold a hammer weighing 320 pounds in his hand.

  Heavy, extremely heavy!

  If it weren't for the ability to use internal strength to hold it, Ning Xiu would not be able to hold this golden hammer, let alone swing it at will.

  The big man in the Wanbao caravan saw that Ning Xiu could lift the drum and the golden hammer with one person's strength. He couldn't help but nodded his head in admiration and exclaimed: "Little brother, your inner strength is very deep, can you ask me your name."

  The character of warriors is usually straightforward. Seeing that young people are not weak, they will naturally have the idea of ​​getting acquainted. Ning Xiu responded: "The next name is Ning Xiu."

"Although it is with the help of internal strength, Brother Ning was able to lift the drum and the golden hammer at a young age. Even the ninth-rank martial arts can't do it with the help of internal strength. Brother Ning's strength is probably only in the eighth-rank martial arts. Whether it is high or low, I wonder if you are interested in joining the Wanbao Caravan, we welcome young talents like you the most, and the treatment is absolutely generous."

   Seeing Ning Xiu's strength, the strong-armored man was also moved to cherish his talents and wanted to recruit Ning Xiu into the Wanbao Caravan.

   It is a great honor for anyone to join the Wanbao Caravan. After joining, they can get a lot of resources and treasures.

   In front of the golden signboard of Wanbao Caravan, very few people would choose to refuse.

   But what the powerful man could never imagine was that Ning Xiu was leaning on the back of Fumosi, the number one golden sign in the world.

   "Sorry for this eldest brother, I have no intention of joining other forces." Ning Xiu had no choice but to decline.

   "No problem, my invitation to you is always valid. As long as you want to join one day, you can find me at the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce in Chaotiandu."

  The big man in strong suit was very frank and frank, highlighting a refreshing one, Ning Xiu nodded and walked out from the back door of Lanyue Building carrying Weng Jin hammer.

   At this time, Huang You was already waiting for him in the carriage outside the door. The carriage was full of treasures that Huang You had bid for tonight.

   Originally, Ning Xiu planned to stay in an inn in Wendeng County for a few nights, and then return to Chaotian Capital after investigating the truth behind the drowning case.

   After learning that Ning Xiu had no place to live, Huang You took the initiative to invite him to live in his own mansion, with maids serving him.

   This is much more convenient than staying in an inn, so Ning Xiu agreed.

"Is this a 320-pound hammer? With Lord Ning, it is simply majestic and domineering. As the saying goes, flowers are for beauties, and precious hammers are for heroes. Huang's 4,000 taels tonight are not white flowers, but flowers. in place."

   Seeing Ning Xiu walking with a hammer on one shoulder, Huang You immediately opened his mouth and offered the ultimate flattery.

   Oily but not greasy, refreshing but not boring.

  Ning Xiu said with a smile: "Young Master Huang's gift of the hammer, Ning has written it down. In the future, if Young Master Huang encounters a catastrophe, he must ask Ning for help so that Ning can repay the gift of the hammer tonight."

   "Sir Ning is too polite, get in the car quickly, we'll go back to the mansion right now."

"No, no, this hammer is too heavy, if I even bring the hammer into the carriage, I'm afraid your carriage won't be able to withstand it, Mr. Huang, so I'll just walk behind the carriage. I was too full just now, so it's all for digestion. "

   "Then you will be wronged Lord Ning." Huang You turned to the groom and said, "Go back to the manor."

  …

   The night was pitch-dark, and four Huangfu guards followed around the carriage. They all wore knives around their waists, and their expressions were very cautious.

  Because he knew that he would buy a lot of things tonight, Huang You specially brought guards to ensure his safety.

  In any case, they are old locals who have lived in Wendeng County for more than ten years. In Huang You's impression, the security of Wendeng County is still very good, and four guards should be enough.

   But what he never imagined was that the newly arrived son of Lu Xiancheng was not a local.

   Gollum!

  The carriage was moving slowly on the road. Just when everyone was immersed in the silence of the night, a large number of people suddenly poured out of the alleys on both sides of the road ahead.

   They blocked the way forward and backward with weapons in hand, and soon surrounded the carriage in a circle.

   "Protect the young master." Huang You's servant shouted quickly.

   The four guards faced off with their swords drawn, but it was obvious from the scene that these four people could never be the opponents of those thugs.

   "Hand over all the things in the car, you can be spared." Someone in the crowd shouted.

   "What's the matter?" Huang You stuck his head out of the car window and looked at the thugs outside, his expression suddenly became confused.

  Nima, when did the law and order in Wendeng County become so bad that someone dared to openly loot.

  Ning Xiu carried Weng Jin's hammer to the side of the carriage and said, "Master Huang, I didn't expect your catastrophe to happen so quickly, but I need you to fight them back."

   Huang You felt like 10,000 horses galloping past in his heart at this time. He originally planned to use Ning Xiu's favor when he had any difficulties in the future.

   I didn't expect to encounter big trouble so soon. If Ning Xiu is not invited tonight, I'm afraid it will end up with no personal wealth.

   "Lord Ning, then I'll have to work on you." Huang You said helplessly.

   "What are you two talking about there, brothers, come on! Just do it."

   The thugs were impatient, and they all rushed towards the carriage with their weapons. Seeing their posture, if Huang You dared to resist, he might not be able to see the sun tomorrow.

   At the same time, Ning Xiu also moved.

  In the darkness, a figure jumped up high, holding the handle of the golden hammer of the drum and urn in both hands, and smashed it towards the ground in front of the thugs who rushed forward.

  Boom!

  The ground of the street paved with stone bricks cracked instantly, the gravel flew, and a large piece of the ground was directly sunken.

   At the same time, a large number of cracks spread in all directions, extending a full eight or nine feet long before exhaustion stopped.

   In the blink of an eye, there was a huge cracked area on the ground. Those who didn’t know it thought it was a meteor falling from the sky.

The    huge movement instantly scared all the thugs who rushed over, and they all stood there dumbfounded, not daring to take a step forward.

   As far as the power of this hammer is concerned, if one hits it, it would be completely dead on the spot.

Snapped!

   Leaving the drum, urn and golden hammer on the ground, Ning Xiu stepped on the hammer, clasped his fists with both hands and kept cracking his phalanges with a smile: "Who dares to take a step forward, kill Wushe."

   All the thugs were silent, and no one would be confused whether the ground was hard or the body was hard.

  Ning Xiu reached out and grabbed the handle of the hammer and said, "I count three times, and the person who dares to appear in front of me after three beeps will be rewarded with a hammer."

"three."

"two."

   Before Ning Xiu could call out, those thugs had already hurriedly disappeared without a trace.

   "Master, this Lord Ning is really, really... It really doesn't match his image." Huang You's attendant couldn't help but whispered.

  Huang You nodded in agreement: "I originally thought he was a weak scholar, but who would have thought that this man was a strange and powerful man behind his back."

  The carriage was back on the road. Ning Xiu returned to the house arranged by Huang You in the Huang Mansion. After reading the Diamond Sutra for Liu Yan Jinzhu today, he began to practice several exercises.

   was speechless all night.

   Early the next day, Ning Xiu came to the inn. According to the efficiency of Fu Mosi, if there is any discovery about the spell map, Su Qianqian should send a letter to Wendeng County today.

   As expected, as soon as Ning Xiu walked into the station, the postman yesterday came over with a sealed letter and handed it to Ning Xiu.

   "Sir, this is what the Lord of Fu Mosi asked me to hand over to you."

  Ning Xiu immediately took it and opened it to check.

In the letter, Su Qianqian said that this incantation picture is a sorcerer that has long been banned by the Fu Mosi. If it is painted on the human body, it can absorb the essence of the human body, which will lead to the death of the person, and the corpse will inevitably change. .

  If you guessed correctly, there must be a monster hidden in Wendeng County. He used the guise of drowning, but in fact he was trying to get the essence of the people.

  If this person is allowed to continue to do evil, Wen Deng County will become a dead place sooner or later.

  In the letter, Su Qianqian also explained that Ning Xiu needs to continue to investigate in Wendeng County. If he feels danger, he can apply for reinforcements from the Fumo Division. In short, the hidden demon must be found and executed.

   As a result, things became clear and clear in an instant.

  Ning Xiu immediately came up with a plan that could lead to the demon, but this plan could not be implemented during the day, and had to wait until night.

   Ning Xiu immediately called out the proficiency panel.

  …

  【Pure Anode Fist: Nine Layers (32/5000)】(+)

  【Golden Bell Cover: Eighth Layer (13/4000)】(+)

  【Spiritual Observation of Qi: Five Layers (22/3000)】(+)

  【Great Sun Mystery Scripture: Eighth Floor (3/4000)】(+)

  General Proficiency: 8500

  …

  Ning Xiu accumulated 8,500 general proficiency points after he dealt with the seventeen corpse corpses last time.

   To draw out the traces of the monsters at night, naturally, he has to temporarily strengthen his strength to ensure his own safety. There is no need to accumulate this general proficiency.

   At present, the general proficiency required to improve pure anode punch is as high as 5000 points. After this, the other two fighting skills cannot be improved, and they are not cost-effective enough.

  Ning Xiu chose to upgrade both the golden bell hood and the Great Sun Mystery Sutra in exchange for better defense capability and deeper internal strength.

   Pure Anode Fist, Golden Bell Cover, and the Great Sun Mysterious Sutra all reached the ninth level. At this time, Ning Xiu did not feel empty even if he encountered a seventh-grade evil spirit, and his confidence was greatly increased.

  …

  Ning Xiu had read the dossier in Dong Fu's study, and the seventeen victims recorded on it were all killed at night, which means that the demon would only choose late night to start.

  Ning Xiu waited in the Yellow Mansion until nightfall before going out, bought a jar of wine and prepared to pretend to be a drunken alcoholic before heading to Changxia River.

  On the Changxia River at night, there is only the sound of the river flowing, sparkling in the moonlight. Because the drowning case is too bizarre, no one dares to come to the Changxia River at night anymore.

   Using the Spiritual Eye Observation Technique, Ning Xiu wandered around the Changxia River.

   If the monster really appears and intends to set off against him, then he can fight back.

   Half an hour later, Ning Xiu deliberately slumped by the river holding the jar of wine, getting up from time to time, walking a few steps and falling to the ground.

   After such a long time, the entire Changxia River is still extremely silent, and nothing wrong has happened.

   One can't help but wonder if the monster has left Wendeng County and gone to other places.

  Cuckoo!

  Suddenly, a large number of air bubbles appeared on the calm water by the river. After stirring for a while, the air bubbles swam toward Ning Xiu.

   "There is movement!"

   After becoming a martial artist, Ning Xiu's senses were far sharper than ordinary people. When he heard the sound of bubbles appearing on the water surface of the Changxia River next to him, he instantly sensed it.

  I saw a black mist-like evil energy beginning to appear on the water.

   "Something is coming."

  Ning Xiu hurriedly pretended to be calm, still unaware, holding the wine jar and taking a sip.

  Wow!

   When the bubbles came to the river, a pale arm suddenly poked out from under the water, and climbed up the river.

  Ning Xiu quickly saw what this thing looked like with the help of the night light.

   is actually a man with disheveled hair and swollen body!

  His eyes were swollen like **** by the river water, and the upper and lower eyelids were tightly placed together, making it impossible to see the eyeballs at all.

   "Drowning ghosts?!" Ning Xiu was surprised. Could it be that the people who harmed people in the Changxia River were not monsters, but drowning ghosts.

   Looking at Ning Xiu who was slumped on the ground, the Drowned Ghost opened his mouth wide and let out a weird roar, and rushed towards Ning Xiu directly.

   His mouth is full of sharp teeth, each of which is not the shape that a normal person should have.

boom!

   Without any hesitation, Ning Xiu jumped up immediately and punched the opponent in the face.

   The red pure anode punch is simply a nemesis for the evil.

   The face of the drowned ghost instantly turned red and smoked, making noises. After eating pain, its first reaction was to escape back to the Changxia River.

   But how could Ning Xiu give him this opportunity to directly pour his inner force into his right palm, grabbing the back of the Drowned Ghost's neck.

   Kaka Kaka!

   As Ning Xiu exerted his strength, the drowning ghost's neck was pinched instantly. After he came out of the Demon Suppression Prison, Ning Xiu's strength became even stronger. This kind of ninth-rank evil spirit could not be his opponent at all.

  In the end, as the throat bone was completely broken, the body of the drowned was completely motionless.

  [Killing evil spirits, general proficiency +500]

   Looking at the river, except for the evil qi brought by the drowned ghost, there is no trace of other evil qi around the entire Changxia River.

  If the monster is still hiding in Wendeng County, then he must not be here at this time.

   "It seems that the real culprit who caused the accidental drowning death of passers-by is you." Looking at the drowned body in his hand, Ning Xiu secretly said.

   Now the clues are broken. If it is said that demons are harming people, it is not by themselves that they leave the incantation pictures to absorb the essence of the people.

   is directed by this drowned ghost, so it is really not an easy task to find out the identity of this hidden monster in a short period of time.
