Choose a day to soar

Xu Ying stood blankly on the street of Jiangjiatian Village, surrounded by panicked villagers running away.

There was a snake demon with black and white patterns on the street corner not far away. It pointed at him with the tip of its tail. While looking at the fleeing villagers, it let out a piercing scream and stuck out its long tongue.

The villagers had long been frightened out of their wits. Some crawled outside and rushed to report to the authorities, while others hid in their houses with their wives and children, tightening the door bolts and shivering.

Those who are brave enough will hide behind windows or doors and peek out secretly.

Xu Ying stood alone on the street, with the body of the green-robed god at his feet.

After a moment, the young man came back to his senses and looked around.

Villagers who were familiar with him before would even joke with him, affectionately calling him Xiaoying Aying, and some jokingly calling him Xu Xiaoruan, but now they feared him as if they were a god.

I'm standing up for you, you shouldn't be afraid of me...

Xu Ying said silently in his heart.

It’s okay for us to be oppressed by the official. This god carved from wood and clay eats our food, drinks our food, and enjoys our offerings, but he still oppresses us.

They think we are animals, but we are really not animals!

We are human beings!

Will resist and take revenge!

But why are you afraid of me? Xu Ying was puzzled.

After a while, Xu Ying stepped over the body of the green-robed god, came to the altar table in the ancestral hall and sat down. Without saying a word, he grabbed the roast chicken and duck on the altar table and ate it.

He ate very carefully and carefully, which is the habit of snake catchers.

To catch snakes, you must be patient and courageous, but the most important thing is not to go hungry.

Being hungry means lack of physical fitness. If physical fitness is insufficient, you will make mistakes and may die from the mouth of a poisonous snake.

Xu Ying caused a big trouble, so he couldn't leave on an empty stomach, he had to eat and drink enough.

He ate a roast chicken, half of a roast duck, stuffed the remaining half of the duck into his arms, then ate some fruits, picked up a few more fruits and stuffed them into his pockets.

Xu Ying stood up and wrote a line of words on the wall with Jiang's blood.

The god-killer, Xu Yingye!

Xu Ying wiped the blood off his hands on the corpse of member Jiang, stood up, left the ancestral hall, and returned home.

His family was bare-walled and didn't have much property. There wasn't even much rice in the jar, only some fried rice noodles for dry food.

Snake catchers who want to go into deep mountains and old forests to catch snakes naturally don't need rice or noodles, only dry food.

Xu Ying brought three days' worth of dry food and looked at the scriptures he had collected. He hesitated and didn't bring them with him. He left home and walked outside the village.

When he reached the entrance of the village, his eyes suddenly became sore, he turned around and knelt down towards Jiangjia Tian Village.

Thank you for taking care of me these years. Xiaoying has caused trouble to fellow villagers...! He kowtowed deeply.

Xu Ying stood up, turned and left.

Aying—— A woman's call came from behind.

Xu Ying turned around and saw a girl wearing bride's clothes sitting at the door of the ancestral hall, holding Jiang Lu's body in her arms.

Aying, thank you!

She shouted loudly, You have to live well!

Take care! Xu Ying waved his hand and left Jiangjiatian Village.

I am an orphan. He said silently in his heart. My godfather raised me as his own son, and the people in the village treated me very well.

I will avenge them by killing gods.

I would also leave for their safety.

This time...

I won't come back!

Hello--

Suddenly a voice called him, Xu Ying looked around and saw a big black and white snake on the willow tree by the road, sticking its head out. It was the snake monster he had captured.

Xu Ying looked at him and rushed forward without stopping.

Xu Ying, wait for me!

The snake demon hurriedly came down from the tree, swam with its tail, and quickly followed him. He smiled and said, You killed the gods, you are miserable! Let me tell you, all the gods near Lingling are under the control of the City God. The City God I know you are killing gods, so I absolutely cannot tolerate you! The world is so big that there is no place for you!

Xu Ying turned a deaf ear and continued on his way.

The snake demon once struggled with his strength. Xu Ying chased him in the mountains for three days and three nights before he was exhausted from chasing the big snake and captured him. Now it was not easy for Xu Ying to shake off the snake demon.

The snake demon followed his footsteps and said with a smile: Even if you kill Jiang, the government will not let you go! You know the government has the most powerful people in the world hidden in it. These people are called Nuo (pronounced nuo)! These people The existence that masters the art of Nuo, hehe, let alone you and me, even the gods are very afraid...

Xu Ying couldn't help but frown when he heard the word Nuo.

Zhou Li Xia Guan says that those who open secrets, communicate with heaven and earth, serve ghosts and gods, and drive away plagues and evil spirits are called Nuo (it is written in Zhou Li that it is difficult), and later generations are called Nuo masters.

The imperial courts of all dynasties reused Nuo masters and selected outstanding ones to serve as officials in various states, counties and counties.

To secular people, Nuo masters among officials are more terrifying existences than gods and demons.

It is better to provoke gods and demons than officials and Nuo.

If you offend the gods and demons, they will kill you at most, but if you offend the Nuo master, you will have to die again even if you become a ghost!

The government will definitely send a Nuo master. You have offended the gods and the Nuo master. You are doomed! The snake demon kept chattering.

Xu Ying was furious: If you follow me again, do you believe I will turn you into a snake?

The snake demon laughed and said: Wax me into a snake trunk and you will use it to pay taxes? Now that you have a murder case on your back, if you go to the Yamen, you will fall into a trap.

Xu Ying walked quickly, but still couldn't shake him off, so he had to patiently say: What do you want to do if you follow me?

The snake demon smiled brightly, of course, he had no eyebrows, and said with a smile: I want you to teach me the Elephant Power Ox Demonic Fist.

Xu Ying kept walking, and lost his voice when he heard the words: I have just started to practice the Xiangli Niu Demon Fist, but you have a family secret that has been passed down in an orderly manner. Why do you want me to pass it on to you?

The snake demon was silent, and after a moment, he said: I have been practicing for one hundred and twenty years. I am currently at the third level, but I have never reached the fourth level. Neither my father nor my grandfather have mastered the Xiangli Niu Demon Fist. Refined to the fourth level.

Xu Ying said angrily: You have no hands or feet, so it's natural that you can't practice. Don't follow me!

The snake demon smiled and said: The sky is huge, is there a place you promised to stay? My Qinyan Cave is a good place to hide.

Xu Ying's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: Brother Snake, Brother Snake, how to get to Qinyan Cave?

On the first day of the new year, there is a market in Lingling City God Temple. There are many faithful men and women worshiping the City God, and it is very lively.

The Lingling City God named Xue Lingfu also recovered from his statue state and turned into flesh and blood, enjoying incense and animal sacrifices.

Suddenly, a burst of green smoke emerged from the ground and transformed into a two-foot-tall earth god. He trotted up to City God Xue Lingfu and whispered a few words in his ear.

Xue Lingfu, the city god, was furious: Killing my official of the Yin Court violates the laws of heaven. This trend cannot last forever. Xu Ying deserves death! Send me an order. Lingling has 800 mountains, 500 water systems, and 1,200 villages and towns. , the gods, big and small, search for Xu Ying and kill him on the spot to serve as a warning to others!

Wait!

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the temple. City God Xue Lingfu followed the voice, but it was Lingling County Magistrate Zhou Yang who led a group of officials and broke into the temple in a hurry.

An official came forward and said: Xu Ying is a living person. He committed a crime and killed Jiang. Naturally, he will be punished according to the laws of the world. This case is under the management of Lingling County Yamen! Xue Chenghuang, you can take it back It’s done!”

City God Xue Lingfu sneered and said: The gods who promised to kill my Yin Court violated the laws of our Yin Court, so naturally they should be punished according to the laws of the Yin Court! Magistrate Zhou, please go back.

The county magistrate Zhou Yang laughed loudly, fluttered his sleeves and turned around to walk out. When he reached the temple gate, he stopped and turned his head and said: Since the rebellion of Prince Dongping, the Yin Court has gradually encroached on the Yang World, and its control has become wider and wider! But! This three-acre land in Lingling has always been my Zhou family's territory, and Yin Ting can't get involved! Come here!

All the officials under his command bowed.

Zhou Yang's face was grim: I will capture Xu Ying and bring him to justice. If he encounters resistance or is obstructed by outsiders, no matter whether he is a god or a human, I will kill him without mercy!

Yes! All the officials left one after another.

City God Xue Lingfu snorted coldly and waved his hand. The earth god on his shoulder understood, immediately jumped down, turned into a wisp of smoke and penetrated into the ground, tracking Zhou Yang away.

Soon after, the county magistrate Zhou Yang led a group of officials to Jiangjiatian Village. When the villagers saw the official, they were more frightened than when they saw the spiritual master. They knelt on the ground one after another, not daring to raise their heads.

Zhou Yang led a group of officials and walked through the kneeling villagers. He looked at the statue of the green-robed god on the ground with interest, then reached out and touched the big hole on the forehead of the statue.

A kind of alienated demonic method that can make the body grow much larger. It is a martial arts method. He laughed softly, This Xu Ying, a commoner, actually practices a demonic method, which is a bit interesting.

Zhou Yang waved his hand and asked the official to go do the work. He sat on the back of a villager and said pleasantly: Uncle Yu, how is the harvest this year?

Jiang Yubo is the Li Zheng of Jiangjia Tian (an official position similar to village chief or town mayor). He said cautiously: Today's harvest is not bad. I harvested three more bushels of millet.

Zhou Yang nodded, with a kind smile on his face: How are the crops growing?

The crops are all very good. Jiang Yubo said with a smile.

Zhou Yang's face darkened and he shouted: The harvest is not bad, the crops are not bad, but why is it so difficult to collect taxes in your village? Do you not want me to live a good life?

Jiang Yubo knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak.

Zhou Yang snorted and said: I collect donations and taxes, do I collect them for myself? No! They collect them for the imperial court! Can I eat a grain of grain from the folks? No! My salary is paid by the imperial court. Yes! Everything I eat and drink is bought with my salary, and I never take anything from you little common people!

Jiang Yubo was obedient and kowtowed repeatedly: Your Excellency, you are upright and honest!

At this time, an official came forward, holding large and small scriptures in his arms, and said: Sir, Xu Ying has absconded and is not at home. My subordinates found these things.

These scrolls are exactly the guidance skills that Xu Ying collected. Xu Ying was in a hurry when he left, so he didn't take them with him.

Zhou Yang casually picked up a scripture and flipped through it. He was still a little careless at first, but when he saw the annotations left by Xu Ying on the scroll, his expression suddenly changed.

He stood up suddenly, grabbed other scriptures, and read through them quickly.

I saw that these scriptures also had promised annotations, which were all comments on the advantages and disadvantages of each demon clan's skills and my own insights. The words were like pearls, extremely concise and profound, and the insights were profound!

The villagers were so angry that they didn't dare to take a breath.

For this promise, I thought he was a god-killer, but I didn't expect that he actually practiced demon magic and collected so many demon scriptures!

Zhou Yang was furious and sneered, This beast harbors the intention to bring trouble to the world. If it is not eliminated, it will become a serious problem! Give me an order, if you encounter a promise, do not capture it alive, but do not kill it!

A group of officials took the order and quickly left Jiangjiatian to track Xu Ying's whereabouts.

The villagers looked at each other in confusion. Is this person that County Magistrate Zhou Yang is talking about still the Xu Xiaoruan they are familiar with?

Zhou Yang returned to the county government office with the remaining scriptures.

In the backyard of the county government office, an old man was sitting under the pavilion drinking tea. Zhou Yang placed the scriptures annotated by Xu Ying next to the old man and stood aside respectfully.

The old man picked up a volume of scriptures, flipped through a page, and said with a smile: These scriptures are just the demon clan's qi-gathering period skills, and there is no follow-up method. What do Yang'er use them for?

County Magistrate Zhou Yang said quickly: Father, read the comments at the back.

The old man Zhou Yihang was surprised. He opened the back and saw Xu Ying's explanation, and his expression gradually became serious. He quickly flipped through one volume of scripture, then picked up another volume, scanned it quickly, and then picked up the next volume!

In just a short moment, Zhou Yihang scanned all the scriptures and said with a solemn expression: The annotators of the scriptures have an extremely deep understanding of the magic. I am afraid that the elders of my Zhou family who have studied this method are not as good as Him! Where did you get these scriptures? Who is the commentator on the scriptures?

Zhou Yang said: A fourteen-year-old boy is a snake catcher.

Zhou Yihang raised his head in surprise: A fourteen-year-old boy?

Zhou Yang said quickly: This person is Jiang Jiatian's snake catcher, named Xu Ying. For some reason, he has mastered the demon clan's skills and killed the gods supported by Jiang Jiatian. He is currently on the run. I went to search and found These scriptures he commented on.”

Zhou Yihang stood up with a look of disbelief on his face: In order to study the magic of demons, the elders of my Zhou family did not hesitate to go deep into the restricted area and dig ancient caves. They suffered heavy casualties! But those elders may not have the same opinions as this fourteen-year-old You are an expert snake catcher! Yang'er, you must find this person and bring him back alive!

Zhou Yang said cautiously: The City God is also chasing this person. I was worried that he would fall into the hands of the City God, so I issued a kill order.

City God Xue Lingfu?

Zhou Yihang's face also changed slightly, and he muttered, If he falls into the hands of the City God, it would be better to kill him, but it's a pity that this talent... Since the City God has been alarmed, I will go personally to do this. If I can get Xu It’s best to capture him alive. If not, I will kill him myself and I will never let him fall into the hands of the City God!”

Zhou Yang bowed and said yes.

Monday flight drifted away.

Zhou Yang straightened up, showing a look of confusion, and whispered: The demon skills are really so important? Why are the ancestors and elders of my Zhou family so concerned about the demon skills?

The ancient times have a long history that cannot be verified, and there are not many written records left. In today's world, human beings mainly practice secret treasures. There are six secret treasures in the human body. If you open one of them, you can become a Nuo master and possess incredible abilities.

The Zhou family is such a family of Nuo masters and one of the most powerful families in the world today. Therefore, Zhou Yang was puzzled by his ancestor's behavior of studying evil arts.

It's just that my Zhou family has always been so obsessed with evil arts. The City God is a Yin god, why are we so obsessed with it? He thought to himself.

He had heard some rumors among the clan. The ancestors of the Zhou family used demonic magic to conduct some mysterious research. Some people said it was the secret of ascension!

It's just that Zhou Yang is a peripheral member of the Zhou family and doesn't know much about it.

Jiangjiatian Village.

The villagers were cleaning up the mess and cleaning the streets. At Xu Ying's house, a plume of smoke suddenly appeared from the ground.

In the smoke, a short man wearing a tall hat and a deer-headed staff emerged from the ground. He was the Earth God from the nearby Earth Temple, and he was holding a scroll in his hand.

Just now, the official came to search, and the land god grabbed a scroll of scriptures. He was afraid of being discovered, so he hurriedly hid underground and waited until the official left before daring to show up.

The Earth God, who was only two feet tall, opened the scriptures, twirled his beard, shook his head, and shouted, That nonsense doesn't make sense! The nonsense Xu Ying annotated doesn't make sense! I'll show it to the City God!

Taking the scroll with him, he jumped into the ground and disappeared.

Not long after, in Lingling City God's Temple, City God Xue Lingfu unfolded the scroll of scriptures that Xu Ying had annotated. His expression changed slightly, he studied it carefully, and suddenly closed the scroll.

Is this what Xu Ying commented on? What a profound insight!

City God Xue Lingfu ordered the Earth God: Immediately send an order to all the gods around Lingling to capture Xu Ying and not kill him. I want to live!

The Earth God quickly said: Most of the gods near Lingling have been sent out to search for Xu Ying's whereabouts. He is not on the shrine. It is not easy to notify them! Moreover, the Nuo masters under Zhou County Magistrate have been sent out to search for Xu Ying's whereabouts. !”

City God Xue Lingfu frowned, stood up from the shrine, walked out, and said calmly: That's all, I'll go there myself. Xu Ying is of great importance. If the Zhou family also wants to get him, then I have to guarantee that he will die. The body must not fall into the hands of the Zhou family!
