Chapter 316: Demon God from Another Dimension

"Xiao Xiaobai, you said Xu Wenwu is dead?"

Among the villagers who surrounded Bai Xianchu and asked questions, a middle-aged woman couldn't help but ask when she heard Bai Xianchu say that Xu Wenwu was dead.

Bai Xianchu blinked and said, "Yes, Aunt Nan."

She said: "Jiang Shan's flying machine was so powerful, there was a flash of white light, and I couldn't see it clearly."

Yingnan didn't wait for her to finish and asked, "Xu Wenwu has ten rings on his body, how could he die so easily?"

Bai Xianchu laughed when she heard this: "All the ten rings were surrendered to Brother Shan, so of course he will die."

Yingnan was startled: "The Ten Rings were surrendered by Jiang Shan?"

"Yes." Bai Xianchu said.

There was a trace of trance on Yingnan's face.

Bai Xianchu added: "Isn't this good? It can be regarded as revenge for Aunt Yingli whom I have never met."

Yingnan nodded absentmindedly, stood up, no longer caring about Bai Xianchu's "storytelling session", squeezed out of the crowd, stood there in a daze for a long time, and let out a breath after a long while.

When the old man heard Jiang Shan talking about demons, he frowned and said, "You are our honored guest. Logically, I should not refuse your request; but..."

He sighed and said, "I heard that scientists like you are the most curious. If I don't tell you the truth, you will probably never forget it."

He said, "Daluo Village has existed for a long time, but do you know why Daluo Village existed?"

Jiang Shan pretended to listen attentively.

The old man said, "In ancient times, demons from another dimension broke into our world and wanted to destroy everything we had. Among them was a demon called the Soul Devourer. It fed on the souls of the people. Wherever it passed, only corpses were left, and countless people were killed or injured."

"Our ancestors united together to fight it, and at the cost of almost everything, they finally severely injured it. But it is a demon from another dimension, immortal and indestructible. Even if we severely injured it and reduced its power to the minimum, we could not kill it."

“So our ancestors sealed it here.”

"The descendants built Daluo Village here. As the guardian of the seal, they guard the seal year after year to prevent the seal from being broken and causing the Soul Devourer to escape and wreak havoc on the people."

As he spoke, he sighed repeatedly: "The Soul Devourer is a demon from another dimension. Its power is beyond anyone's imagination. Once the seal is broken and it escapes, with a population of one billion in the outside world, it can easily recover its strength by just taking a few breaths. No one will be able to stop it by then!"

"It's not that an old man like me underestimates the technology of the outside world. You, a great scientist, are still in front of me. What I said is that the power of the Soul Eater is a power that technology cannot reach. The power of technology cannot cause any harm to the Soul Eater."

As Jiang Shan listened, scenes from the movie Shang-Chi flashed through his mind, confirming the elder's words, and many understandings came to his mind.

In the movie, the Soul Eater was quite powerful when he first appeared. Even the guardian beast of Daluo Village, the red-haired dragon, was no match for him. But he did not show the power to crush everything. It was just that his Soul Eater ability was rather strange, that was all.

But when you think about the fact that this demon from another dimension was severely injured in ancient times and sealed for so long, yet still has such power, you know that this thing should not be underestimated.

Jiang Shan could understand why the elder was so cautious.

The truth is, if that thing gets out and cannot be controlled in time, there will be great loss of lives, and the common people will be the ones who suffer.

Jiang Shan thought about it several times - in the original plot, the Soul Devourer was able to escape because of Xu Wenwu. Now that Xu Wenwu was dead, how could the Soul Devourer break the seal and escape? Thinking of this, Jiang Shan gave up the idea of ​​having to see the Soul Devourer.

Well, this is Daluo Village. As a guest, you should respect the host instead of acting recklessly.

Then he smiled and said, "I see."

Said: "Daluo Village guards the seal year after year, which is admirable."

The old man smiled and said, "We, the younger generation, must not forget the responsibilities passed down by our ancestors."

Jiang Shan said, "I respect the traditions of Daluo Village. I won't watch the Soul Devourer. It's my fault that the old man is worried."

The old man laughed out loud: "You are indeed a noble man, and you are very reasonable. I am very happy."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

“Elder.”

When the old man heard this, he said, "Yingnan? Is there something wrong?"

Yingnan said: "I heard from Xiao Xiaobai that Mr. Jiang killed my enemy Xu Wenwu. I want to thank Mr. Jiang in person."

The old man smiled and said, "Come in."

Yingnan pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as she came in, she caught a glimpse of the ten rings on the table, then moved her gaze to Jiang Shan, took a few steps forward, clasped her fists and bowed: "Mr. Jiang, you killed Xu Wenwu and washed away the shame that my sister Yingli brought to us. Thank you very much, and I can never repay you!"

Jiang Shan looked at her, waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't deserve it. Xu Wenwu and I have a grudge, so I want to kill him. One thing is another, I don't deserve to thank you here."

Yingnan said stubbornly: "No matter what, Xu Wenwu was killed by Mr. Jiang."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

She bowed deeply.

After standing up, Yingnan looked at the ten rings on the table and said to Jiang Shan, "Mr. Jiang, I have an unreasonable request."

Jiang Shan smiled and said, "Please speak."

Yingnan said: "My sister was deceived by Xu Wenwu, blinded by his eyes, and she broke the rules of Daluo Village, and even lost her life."

"At the beginning, I sensed her death, so I built a tomb for her. I want to use these ten rings to pay tribute to her and tell her that the cause and effect has been resolved."

Hearing this, the old man frowned and said, "The Ten Rings are the spoils of the noble man!"

Jiang Shan said, "It's okay."

He said, "Since it is a memorial offering, it is fine to take it."

Yingnan showed a look of joy, clasped his fists again, took the ten rings on the table, and then slowly retreated, closing the door.

The old man sighed and said, "Since Yingli's incident, Yingnan has often been criticized by the villagers. It has been pent up in my heart for many years and I am very sad."

Jiang Shan nodded in understanding and said, "I can feel her desire for the Ten Rings."

As soon as Yingnan came in, Jiang Shan caught her desire for the ten rings.

But since it was for the purpose of offering sacrifices and clearing the karma, it would be fine to lend it to her. Jiang Shan was not a stingy person after all.

The old man shook his head and said, "It's also a demon in her heart. Fortunately, Xu Wenwu is dead now. After this, she will naturally untie the knot in her heart."

As the old man spoke, he poured a cup of brewed tea for Jiang Shan.

Said: "Try our tea, it must be better than the ones out there."

He smiled and said, "Although Daluo Village is closed, the environment is different from the outside world. The products here are also very different from those outside."

A cup of tea is filled with wisps of mist, which is not water vapor. There is an aura about it, which is truly extraordinary.
