Chapter 33 Princess Jiang Lingyi, Your Power is Here
A shadowy ghost emerged from the drum and roared as it pounced towards the waiter disguised as the demon hunter.
A few barbarians seemed to be smiling, as if they had already seen the miserable end of the waiters. They were just a group of mortals, wouldn't it be easy to catch them?
However, the next moment, the waiter with an ordinary appearance nimbly dodged the ghost and said coldly: "Dear guest, don't forget that this is Sizhou City, the territory of the Great Zhou."
The dog-barbarian people's expressions changed slightly, and their eyes were suddenly filled with ferocity. The leader had a gloomy expression, and shook his head, with the ends of his braids hitting the drum rhythmically. Behind him, the men all shook their braids, and the women took out their silver hairpins and used them to beat the drums.
As these people beat, there were interlaced sounds of thumping and chopping. More and more ghosts appeared in the air. They kept wailing and pounced on the nearby demon hunters. One even rushed out of the restaurant and pounced on a little girl with a ferocious look.
The little girl's family wanted to bend down and pick her up, but their bodies were so stiff from the beating of the drums, and their faces turned red, that they couldn't touch her.
The demon hunter dodged in a panic, his hand already touching the talisman on his waist, but because he had not received any orders, he could not take action against the outsiders.
“Boom!”
A drumbeat that seemed to foretell the fate of everyone sounded amid the chaotic shouts of the demon hunters.
The ghost became more and more ferocious, and its sharp claws almost touched the little girl's eyes.
A demon hunter was extremely anxious and shouted, "Stop—"
The corners of the dog-barbarian's mouth were raised, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, his face was full of a fanatical and unbridled evil smile, and he was still cursing in the dog-barbarian language.
At this moment, time seemed to be infinitely stretched.
The proud dog-barbarian, the anxious demon hunter, the blurry ghost, the motionless little girl and her family... these people and ghosts with different expressions are solidified into a vivid and colorful still picture.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The drums struck again, three times in a row, but with a completely different rhythm from before.
The dog-barbarian looked down in confusion and saw himself not continuing to beat the drum.
The next moment, a stream of spiritual energy passed by, like a breeze, brushing away all the dust and haze on the painting.
The first level of "Duo Tian Lu" is Faith.
Faith is the root of the Tao. The deeper the faith, the longer the Tao.
Li Zhou's path swept across with crushing force.
Time resumed its flow, and the sinister and spooky aura that filled the restaurant was swept away.
Instead, there was a clear and pure spiritual energy, as fleeting as fog and as cold as snow.
All the people in the Great Zhou felt relaxed and happy, as if they saw fairies in the mountains, the moon in the clouds, and snow on the stream.
The dog-barbarian people's faces changed drastically, and for the first time they showed fear.
They felt a cool breeze brushing across their waists, and a chill spread from their waists and abdomens to their entire bodies.
“Bang” “Bang” “Bang”…
One by one, the small drums fell off the dog-barbarian's waist.
“Bang” “Bang” “Bang”…
One after another, the lower bodies of the dog-barbarians fell off from the waist.
The smooth cut surface froze for a moment, and blood and viscera rushed out.
The long braid also broke, and the end of the braid that hit the drum fell into a pool of blood. The carefully woven braided hair scattered, covering the half of the body that was suspended in mid-air.
A group of ghost shadows flashed and disappeared into nothingness.
The dog-barbarian opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
"Forgot to leave anyone alive." A female voice said apologetically, "Ma Daolu, this..."
Half of his body fell heavily to the ground. The dog-barbarian's eyes moved and he saw the people standing at the stairs on the second floor. Leading them were two people, a man and a woman, one old and one young.
They didn't even come downstairs.
Who are they...
"It's okay. There are people in the company who are good at soul-searching. Come, collect these drums. They are important evidence... Wait, Fellow Daoist Xue, you should... not eat these human-skin drums, right?"
The purple-robed man, who was over fifty years old and had gray hair, was very humble towards the young woman, as if he only followed her lead.
"Ma Daolu, you are joking. How can you eat something so weird?"
The young woman looked a little confused, as if she didn't know why the man in purple robe made such a joke.
The purple-robed man was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Xue is right."
After the two men finished speaking, two men and women in green robes and black shoes walked out from behind the man in the purple robe and directed the people in the restaurant to pick up the bodies of the dog-barbarians.
"You guys are lucky."
One of the women muttered as she lifted up the half body of a dog-barbarian: "Miss Xue doesn't like to eat monsters like you, and she can leave a corpse."
These were the last words that the dog-barbarian heard in this world.
Before falling into complete darkness, they tried hard to move their eyes and stared at the direction of the second floor. They were determined to remember the young woman who had killed all of them with such ease. Even if they died, they would not forget it.
…
"Greetings, Master." The little girl with pigtails was led upstairs by her family and bowed to Li Zhou. "This girl is naturally slower than others. If Master was not here today, she would have been killed by the barbarians. Ji Rui, kneel down and kowtow to Master."
Ji Rui was confused and looked at Li Zhou slowly. He kowtowed three times slowly, but the force of his kowtows was so strong that he knocked a large dent in the ground.
Looking at her forehead again, it was still as smooth as before, without even a layer of oily skin broken.
The demon hunters who had just been worried about the little girl were stunned when they saw this scene.
Looking at the situation, maybe, probably, possibly, even if the adults didn't do anything, the little girl would be fine...
Ji Rui's family was a little embarrassed. They pulled her up and whispered to her, "What did your family tell you? You should learn to control your strength. Look at you. You have torn up the floor of the restaurant."
Ma Yong's eyes lit up, he squatted down, grabbed Ji Rui's wrist, and examined her carefully: "The little girl has a unique talent. If she has a good teacher to guide her, her future will be limitless."
Li Zhou's heart was moved. Could this little girl be the protagonist in the legend? She was born an outlier, and was not understood by the people around her since she was a child. She was accidentally involved in a fight between monks, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, and was discovered to be gifted by the masters.
She herself always has good and bad luck, but the people around her can't stand the ups and downs of this protagonist's fate.
To be her teacher, you'd probably need nine lives.
Thinking of this, Li Zhou said decisively:
"I see that you and I have a connection. Do you want to practice with me?"
In order to prevent others from suffering misfortune, she should take the initiative to bear the consequences. Things like being envied by other geniuses, having the older ones come after the younger ones are beaten, or having the whole family wiped out in revenge, can all be directed at her. It has nothing to do with her.
Li Zhou silently wiped away tears for his own kindness in his heart, and looked at Ji Rui with an encouraging look and a smile.
Ma Yong, who was standing nearby and didn't have time to speak, was startled and his lips trembled slightly. It was the first time that he, a prefectural governor, was intercepted by someone.
first.
Ma Yong slowly stood up, recalling the golden tendons and jade bones, and the innate energy he had just discovered, and felt his heart bleeding.
Faced with such a natural talent, even with the pressure of Li Zhou eating the evil god alive, Ma Yong couldn't help but argue: "Has Brother Xue ever accepted a disciple? Do you have experience? Does the master know about this?"
Li Zhou was silent for a moment after being asked three questions in a row. Lu Yao, Shi Yishan and other demon hunters looked at Ma Yong dimly, unable to understand what was wrong with Lao Deng all of a sudden. Was it because Miss Xue was giving him a favor?
Ma Yong had no idea that his subordinates were full of rebellious thoughts and they stared at Li Zhou closely, trying to make her give up.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhou paused for a moment and said, "Ma Dao Lu is indeed a master of prediction. I am planning to build a mountain gate in Sizhou City, establish the Duotian Sect, recruit many disciples, enlighten the world, and promote the sect's Taoism."
Ma Yong: “???”
Li Zhou smiled slightly: "I still need to ask Ma Daolu for advice on allocating land, granting clothes, building houses and warehouses, and obtaining the master's title and certificate."
Ma Yong: “…”
Ma Yong said dryly: "These matters are under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office. The Demon Hunting Department has no right to authorize the Taoist temple. Fellow Daoist Xue should go and ask Governor Jiang..."
He paused halfway through his speech, then his brain reacted. He raised his eyes, looked at Li Zhou with difficulty breathing, and said word by word: "Duo, Tian, Zong?"
Li Zhou said: "Yes, Duotian Sect."
Ma Yong staggered and almost fell. Lu Yao and Shi Yishan supported him on both sides, not understanding why he reacted so strongly.
Is there anything wrong with this name?
Li Zhou was also puzzled. Ma Yong's expression made it seem as if she was about to put on the yellow robe and turn the world upside down in the next second.
Although her ambitions are indeed very lofty, it is inevitable that those who practice cultivation will brag.
Isn’t the life span of Duotian just a little exaggerated?
How can you be so ignorant?
Li Zhou was thinking about how to appease Ma Yong, but the latter pushed away the people behind him, put on an unprecedented respectful attitude, took a deep breath, and bowed deeply:
"This is a matter of great importance. I implore you, Fellow Daoist Xue, to accompany me to the Governor's Mansion to discuss this matter."
Li Zhou nodded, understanding that if she wanted to establish a sect, it would be under the jurisdiction of the governor's office. Ma Yong was a nice person and even offered to go with her to meet the governor. He was probably afraid that she didn't know the rules.
But why did he become so serious?
The doubt flashed by, and then like frost at noon in summer, it was melted by the sun in an instant.
Li Zhou frowned, feeling that he seemed to have overlooked something important again.
On the simulator interface, the title of "Super Insensitivity" flashed, successfully putting her doubts aside.
She relaxed her frown and said naturally, "In that case, let's go quickly... I wonder if Governor Jiang is free today?"
"He'll be free."
Ma Yong stood up and said with a complicated expression.
At the same time, in the governor's mansion, Governor Jiang was teaching his daughter Jiang Lingyi: "The emperor has arranged 3,000 soldiers for you. I will also ask Ma Daolu to support 300 demon hunters. These 3,300 people will escort you to the Dog Barbarians. Even so, the journey will definitely not be peaceful. The Dog Barbarians are fickle and often break their promises and rebel before their mouths are dry. You must be careful. If something goes wrong, let the 300 demon hunters escort you back to Sizhou..."
Jiang Lingyi listened carefully, and when her father finished speaking, she glanced in the direction of the capital and said softly, "I heard from my teacher that the world is going to be in chaos, and the alliance between the Great Zhou and the Dog Barbarians is to prevent being attacked from both sides in the future."
Governor Jiang sighed: "You can't ignore what your teacher said, but you can't listen to everything either. Do you understand what I mean?"
Jiang Lingyi was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "My daughter understands."
She clenched her fists, her expression showing a bit more determination: "My daughter is just thinking, since this is the case, I should do my best in this marriage and contribute to the future of the people of Da Zhou."
When Governor Jiang heard this, he was not relieved but furious: "Nonsense! How can a little girl like you shoulder the responsibility of national affairs? If the sky falls, there will always be tall people to hold it up! The only thing you have to do is to protect yourself. Don't you know that your mother has been crying these days?"
Jiang Lingyi was not frightened by her father's harsh words. She sighed softly, "But father, where is the tall guy? This Sizhou City seems peaceful, but it is full of ghosts and monsters. The Monster Hunting Bureau is busy. Last month, seven people disappeared and their lives and deaths are unknown... Good can no longer suppress evil! Since I have been conferred the title of princess, even if I die..."
"Shut up." Governor Jiang's voice was not loud, but it still made Jiang Lingyi shut her mouth suddenly.
Jiang Lingyi knew that she had said something wrong, but she looked at her father stubbornly and refused to bow her head.
The father and daughter looked at each other for a moment, and finally Governor Jiang was defeated.
After looking around and making sure that no one was around, Governor Jiang approached his daughter and whispered, "The Great Zhou Treasure Scroll has given a prophecy that there will be a savior who will forge the Sui Sword, slay the demons, and save the world."
Jiang Lingyi's eyes lit up, and Governor Jiang patted her on the shoulder: "So my daughter, just take care of yourself. The tall one will be here soon."
I just don’t know where it is now?
Governor Jiang thought that it would be better not to come to Sizhou, otherwise wouldn’t it mean that something bad is about to happen in Sizhou?
