Although the demon world has been in turmoil recently, and a major event that shocked half of the demon world just happened the day before the update.
But the protagonist of "The Legend of Demons" is still a human being after all, and most of the time there are delays, so when the Saturday issue is updated, there are not many plots related to what happened in City C this time.
The latest plot is about Fanning's earnest efforts to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, and to implement his own life values. Readers still prefer this kind of story. No matter how weird the supporting characters are in a comic, the protagonist is always the one that makes people feel drawn to the story. Therefore, as long as the protagonist's upgrade path is fun, many readers will still feel drawn to the story.
In the latest issue, Fanning recently found a place to receive all kinds of messy commissions, and such places are actually everywhere.
For some independent Taoist priests, as long as they hold a Taoist certificate, they can make money through this.
According to the comics, this has now developed into something like an industrial chain, and some commissioning agencies will even help with packaging so that the Taoist priest who accepts the commission looks more like a... Taoist priest.
These packages include - renting costumes and props, being responsible for pick-up and drop-off, inquiring about nearby places that need Taoist "training", such as haunted houses, or places where some weird things have happened recently, and even cooperating with the authorities to solve some supernatural incidents... In short, there are all kinds of things.
If a Taoist priest in a Taoist robe suddenly appeared in your home for no apparent reason and asked you if you wanted him to help you get rid of a demon, then he might be from this place...
Yuan Yuanyuan was confused when she saw this. She wondered if this could be considered as revealing a dark industrial chain to some extent...
The purpose of the commission is - we are only responsible for finding places that need services, as for whether we can solve this commission, that depends on your luck.
Although Fanning had never been to such a place before, he had heard about it from his senior brothers and sisters who had left the sect. Many of the Taoist priests who were employed by the family would occasionally take on commissions here to earn some pocket money when they went out of the mountains.
The commissions he has accepted now mainly include killing one monster, killing two monsters, killing three monsters... In short, all kinds of monster-killing.
The monsters that Fanning had fought so far were only those of a relatively low level. He did not dare to take on high-level monsters, so Yuan Yuanyuan even knew the types of many of the monsters he had fought.
Just like the two monsters that looked like salted fish that were killed in the latest issue...they were salted fish, but they were salted fish...essence.
They are considered very common little monsters among water monsters. When Yuan Yuanyuan was running for her life, she was not afraid of such little monsters.
However, Ji Qiu obviously wanted to show more things related to the monster time to the majority of "human" readers, so he drew everything that happened to Fanning during this period in detail.
For monsters, watching such things is quite boring, but for humans, these little monsters are quite novel and interesting. After all, they have never seen them before, right?
For the current protagonist, it would take more time to deal with such small monsters once their numbers increase. So the battle scene looks pretty good, and the book also introduces a lot of things related to Taoist priests to the readers.
Fanning's sect is one of the most powerful sects, so the incident that happened to them some time ago was still very shocking to humans. It was not just a matter of a sect being slaughtered. For humans, it was like a slap in the face of the Taoist priests. Even during the period of accepting commissions, people would come and stab him from time to time.
For example, he often heard others say:
"The Three Pure Ones were almost wiped out last time... I don't know how they are doing now."
"The Three Purities received a lot of commissions before. I remember that their sect received the most commissions last year. I wonder how it will be by the end of this year."
"The Three Purities have basically not been working for the past two months. I heard that the sect leader was seriously injured. Who knows what will happen. Maybe this time we will be left behind by those top sects."
Every time Fanning heard these words, he would silently accept and hand over commissions, and it seemed that he was becoming more and more silent...
This plot has caused Fanning to inexplicably gain a lot of mother fans recently.
Originally, Fanning was a hot-blooded person, but recently he was hit by a series of setbacks, so he became silent. The original text of the comic reads: [Sometimes, he couldn't say a word for a whole day, and his eyes seemed to be worried, always covered with a thin layer of black mist.]
This kind of temperament can easily turn into gloomy, but Fanning's decent baby face turned the feeling from gloomy to mostly melancholy.
The feeling given by the second volume is that Kurosaki Ichigo is changed. It's like Kurosaki Ichigo was drawn in a cute and rustic way at the beginning, but started to develop in a cool direction later on. The artist's style also became more and more handsome. In the later period, if you take out the photo of Kurosaki Ichigo and compare it with the earlier ones, you can't tell that they are the same person at all.
Besides, it is quite simple for an artist to torture a character. It is nothing more than friendship, bond, obsession, One Piece...
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the blue light outside the window. Even though a day had passed, she still couldn't get used to this faint blue light, especially after learning about the purpose of this thing.
It is said that this was a thing used during the war, which could cover the entire city of C. During this period of time, the monsters in city C could go out, but they could not come back in after going out.
When she was squatting in the room reading comics, she felt disgusted by the blue light behind her no matter how she looked at it. After reading for a long time, she simply pulled the curtains.
"What is the prototype of this monster?" Qiu Ling, who was sitting next to her reading comics, read for a long time and suddenly looked up and asked Yuan Yuanyuan.
"This?" Yuan Yuanyuan took a look and said, "This is a salted fish monster..."
"Which one?" Tang Shi, who was standing next to him, turned around and looked at the voice, speechless, "Boss, if you don't know it, don't talk nonsense. It's obviously a fish monster, but you have to add the word salty to it..."
The final exams are coming soon, and the two girls are staying up late every day to review. High school students don’t have much winter vacation time, but they still have half a month. After the exams, it will not be long before the Chinese New Year.
During the Chinese New Year last year, Yuan Yuanyuan bought a bag of frozen dumplings by herself, and she didn’t even have time to make them. This year, she wanted to make dumplings properly, so she bought the most expensive leeks and shrimps.
In order to fulfill this great wish, Yuan Yuanyuan has been eating instant noodles for two days. After all, leeks, shrimps, pork and the like are still quite expensive in winter.
It is said that Yuan Yuanyuan spent a whole day browsing the website set up by the students yesterday. It was not until after a day that Yuan Yuanyuan realized that these students are really amazing.
They talked about everything, from the strength analysis of the big monsters so far to the power analysis of the Taoist priests. They could be called a group of little Sherlock Holmes.
There are a lot of things on the website, from discussions on the latest British and American drama plots to homework sharing. It can be seen that these monster students are still quite up-to-date and not at all rigid like the old monsters.
You know, monsters of Sister Li's age are already unable to accept new things like mobile phones. It is estimated that among the monsters, only those in the larval area can accept this thing.
To be honest... Yuan Yuanyuan is actually about the same age as these students.
The video shot the day before yesterday has been played repeatedly many times, many of which were requested by Qiu Ling and Tang Shi. Sometimes they would even ask Yuan Yuanyuan to come over to watch it with them.
The screen was shaking the whole time when we were filming that day. Plus, there were a lot of monsters and Yuan Yuanyuan was very high off the ground, so we couldn't see Yuan Yuanyuan's face. Otherwise, the two people behind would have discovered that the three-dimensional Yuan looked exactly like the store owner next to them...
Yuan Yuanyuan lay on the table, watching the two of them watching and clapping the table excitedly.
The website rules prohibit the introduction of outsiders, and cannot be reposted to other websites or social platforms. It is said that a monster has cursed this website or something. Those who violate it will be in big trouble.
If it weren't for these rules, Yuan Yuanyuan wondered if they would have shared this video on social media, with a hundred-word emotional confession...
Yuan Yuanyuan was just thinking about one question today - is that weird war dance she performed that day really that difficult to learn?
She really didn't think it was difficult to learn. Instead, she felt like she was doing it very smoothly. If she hadn't seen so many people sincerely lamenting that this thing was extremely difficult to learn, she wouldn't have realized that this thing was difficult to learn.
Even now, she is confused by this difficult concept.
Looking at Tang Shi who was reviewing, Yuan Yuanyuan knew that she had to learn a lot of things, not only math, physics and chemistry, but also several subjects that only monsters would learn. Yuan Yuanyuan looked at her textbook, which was a yellowed leaf covered with golden patterns, looking very mysterious.
"What is this?" Yuan Yuanyuan walked over and picked up another leaf with black patterns and flipped through it with interest. She saw five or six leaves like this in Tang Shi's book.
"The one I took was a book about how to break curses, written by my idol Fang Yingzi. The one you took now was a book on witchcraft, which I couldn't understand, so I decided to give up." Tang Shi said.
"So what do you usually learn in class?"
Yuan Yuanyuan turned over the leaf with black patterns and probed her magic power into it to take a look. Qiu Ling looked at them curiously.
Even though she has spiritual powers, she still can't read the monster book, so she can only watch helplessly.
Yuan Yuanyuan probed her magic power into the box and looked at the things inside. She frowned when she saw the first line.
【Those who have learned this book can go up to the sky and into the earth, and treat thousands of troops as nothing. 】
This sentence... this sentence seems familiar.
Yuan Yuanyuan inexplicably thought of the magic trick on the blood jade.
This... feels a bit like déjà vu.
It's not that she's sensitive, there are similar words in the blood jade, but this one is much more domineering than this one [Heaven and earth, nothing is impossible. ]
"It's just a bunch of messy tricks." Tang Shi shook his pen, and it was a bit out of place. "It's a very famous book, the universal textbook of tricks nowadays. The monsters in the past few decades have all learned this, but I think you may be too old to learn this... We have been learning this, but I really don't know how to do tricks. I haven't passed the tricks since I entered junior high school."
As Yuan Yuanyuan flipped through the book, she felt it looked more and more familiar. Many things in it had something in common with the Blood Jade Magic. However, not all of the things in the Blood Jade Magic were sorcery. Many of them were frontal attack magic.
Every word and sentence in this book can be described as "sinister, cruel and vicious."
It's simply... like a book that extracts all the sinister magic from the Blood Jade Magic Code, summarizes it, and sublimates it into one.
Each of its magic tricks is pure sorcery, covering everything, such as shape-shifting techniques, seduction techniques, assassination techniques... Yuan Yuanyuan was amazed by the sinister ones, while Yuan Yuanyuan's scalp tingled because of the poisonous ones.
Ahem. Yuan Yuanyuan inexplicably felt that she was a bit shameless... She turned the book all the way to the end. In fact, halfway through, she vaguely felt that the author of this book might have some connection with the Blood Jade Demon Army, so she asked, "Who wrote this book?"
"It seems to be... Anonymous?" Tang Shi raised his head and said a little confusedly. "It's not written in the book? There is only a date at the end, and the author didn't leave his name. I don't know even if you ask me."
Yuan Yuanyuan turned to the back and looked at the date and signature. As Tang Shi said, there was a small mark in the place where the signature would usually be filled in, two lines of small Arabic numerals.
“1917.10.
17”
Yuan Yuanyuan's hand suddenly stopped.
October 17, 1917.
When the author wrote "10.", there was no space left on that line, so he had to write on a new line.
However, Yuan Yuanyuan's palms inexplicably felt cold.
…
This way of writing...
That row "17" is listed separately.
Yuan Yuanyuan closed the book silently, and suddenly her heart was filled with waves.
"Hey? Boss?" Tang Shi called out to the absent-minded Yuan Yuanyuan for a long time. When Yuan Yuanyuan finally came to her senses, she asked, "Can you help me improve my tricks? You are a big monster, so you must be better at tricks than my dad, right?"
