Beyond the Divine States Chapter 332: : A Preliminary Exploration of the City of Ten Thousand Demons

The towering black city wall stood behind him, blocking a large swath of light, and the ancient monster beast climbing on the city wall became a silhouette. The continuous houses are constructed of different shades of black, and the structure of the roof ridge is sharp like animal bones, which at first glance looks like a cliff covered with black barbs.

Ning Changjiu stood in the shadow of the eaves, and the dog demon was pointing along the street.

"Our Ten Thousand Demons City, there are not many other things, there are many temples, there are dozens of large and small, if you want to go to the biggest one..." The Blind Dog was thinking hard.

Ning Changjiu saw his slow speech and asked: "What's the matter?"

The dog demon sighed, and said: "The biggest one should be the South Demon Palace. It's just that the temple has been closed recently and it doesn't accept incense. The son came here by accident."

Ning Changjiu pondered for a moment, and asked, "What kind of **** does the Nanyao Palace worship?"

The dog demon said: "Where do I know this? Then wait for the holy place, a stick of incense can burn my money for a month, how can the little demon dare to go in."

Ning Changjiu asked again: "Besides, are there no other famous temples?"

The dog demon was a little unhappy. He held the stick in his hand, touched the ground, and said, "Didn’t you just test me on one question? I have answered it now. Should you hire me as a guide? That's it."

Ning Changjiu looked at it and wondered: "Can you really be a guide?"

The dog demon pointed to his blind eyes, righteously said: "I am a professional guide dog!"

Ning Changjiu asked in confusion: "Where can a guide dog be blind by himself?"

The dog demon cried and said, "Isn't that even more disabling? If you have some conscience, you won't be unmoved, right?"

Si Mingxin thought about his conscience?

Ning Changjiu was about to talk, when he saw a few more monsters rushing in front of him. Most of the monsters were short in stature. There were cat monsters, fox monsters, tree monsters, and a monkey spirit with a broken tail behind. Jump and jump.

Ning Changjiu didn't know what they were doing, but the dog demon was already on the verge of an enemy.

"This is the guest I found first! You don't understand the rules!" The blind dog demon leaned on the crutches, screamed, and waved the stick to drive them away.

A silver-haired beast cat with long ears grabbed its hand and sneered: "Hahaha, you also lied to new guests. Last time you led the way and led a guest into a dead end, almost Mistakes a serious matter, was interrupted, and his reputation was discredited, and now dare to come out and be embarrassed?"

The dog demon said loudly: "You are not a wild cat that can't be caught by a mouse, don't slander people! You are not a thief, you can get a lot of oil and water by sending a guest!"

"Okay! Don't bite the cat! Let me come. I can tell the story of every street, every cave, every hill here. I am knowledgeable and talented, and I have been led by me. There is no dissatisfaction with the guests." The monkey spirit who fell at the end of the line hopped up and raised his hand.

It was a brown-haired long-armed ape. It was wearing a wooden ring on its head and a wooden bracelet on its neck. It snuggled its tail and looked at Ning Changjiu with a smile on his face, and recommended himself.

A hard wooden demon immediately blocked it, and sneered: "Oh, you have a ghost knowledge? Which of those stories was not made up by you? Change another way of saying it for another person, and go! If you are born and raised, this No one else can beat me!"

These monsters were still arguing, and they glanced at them, but they saw that the couple had disappeared. The demons looked at each other, their vying faces softened suddenly, and their heads fell dejected.

Ning Changjiu and Si Ming fell on another street.

They walked along the street.

"The little fairies here are really annoying. They are not very capable, but they are noisy." Si Ming complained faintly, covering his mask of the fox demon.

Ning Changjiu said: "It's all for the livelihood, don't worry about them."

Si Ming looked at the scenery around the street, his eyes faint.

"Where are you going now? The so-called South Demon Palace?" Si Ming asked.

Ning Changjiu said: "When you are here for the first time, you don't have to be anxious, first find out the reality of Ten Thousand Demons City, and make sure you are safe."

"Well. It's up to you." Si Ming agreed.

The two continued to move forward and passed a large low, skinny shingle house. The front side was a high-rise temple. Outside the temple, many monsters in ancient robes stood upright, facing inside. Go. They either hold the incense burner or the jade wat, but they seem to have a posture of upwards.

The two bypassed the temple standing in the middle. Next to the square-walled temple is a pool surrounded by three sides. The water surface is in the silver undulating light with mist and ink, and from time to time there are blisters gurgling out, always giving people a kind of imprisonment in deep water. The feeling of the devil.

Several tortoises stand by the river, with ancient scriptures on them.

Ning Changjiu and Si Ming came to the river and looked at the lake.

Si Ming said: "This lake is too cloudy, I want to come here to sink countless corpses."

Ning Changjiu said: "There are many fish in the lake."

Si Ming frowned and said: "Feed the carcass to the fish, and then fatten the fish to eat? Why do you feel a little unnecessary."

Ning Changjiu stood in front of Si Ming, his back suddenly cold, there was always a feeling of being pushed down by Si Ming to feed the fish.

He looked at it for a while and asked, "Is this related to Nether?"

Si Ming said: "It has nothing to do. Do you really think you are the Son of Destiny? You can easily find everything you want?"

Ning Changjiu smiled and said: "Of course I don't think so, but maybe you are?"

"I am by no means the son of destiny." Si Ming categorically said: "It is destiny itself that I hold."

Ning Changjiu looked at her proud eyes, remembered the dream she had last night, and laughed.

Si Ming let out a cold snort and continued to move forward.

It is the same early spring, but the wind in Ten Thousand Demons City is colder than outside. If the outside world is a painted landscape painting, then Ten Thousand Demons City is a declining city depicted by a black and white water mill.

The first floor of this city is not very big. After passing by the many houses, there is a wilderness of rammed earth. The rocks on both sides are covered with white grass, like old man’s hair. .

There are several tribes scattered in the wilderness. Most of these tribes are some low-status goblins. They look like sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, scrawny. And behind their house, there are many chickens and ducks in captivity, and those chickens and ducks are jumping restlessly in the cage, seemingly fighting for something.

"Today seems to be the spiritual test day of the Temple of Ten Thousand Demons City." Si Ming said.

Ning Changjiu did hear someone talking about this on the way here.

"What is the test day?" Ning Changjiu asked.

Siming replied: "Like humans, the world can become a cultivator. The most common people are ordinary people. Therefore, disciples are always evaluated before entering the sect. The same goes for demons. They start from wild animals and poultry. It also takes a process to become a monster."

Ning Changjiu asked: "Those chickens and ducks must be tested?"

Si Ming nodded and said: "Well, those who pass the test will stay, and those who fail will be killed, that's all."

Ning Changjiu sighed: "It's really lucky to be a human being."

Simming said: "Isn't man a beast? Man cannibalism is a history that happens all the time. Alas, all the creatures in the earth are raccoon dogs!"

Ning Changjiu asked back: "Is your **** perfect?"

Si Ming said: "As you said."

Ning Changjiu looked at her perfect figure and said: "Then your gods are really good for mankind."

"Shameless!" Si Ming saw through his dirty thoughts and ignored it.

She put her hands around her chest, and continued to move forward with a cold face, shrinking the ground, the two figures almost flickered forward.

After passing through many trees that grew in disorder, the black robe and white robe appeared at the end of the road.

At the end is an abyss.

The abyss is surrounded by ghost mist. According to the local monsters, the prisoners in these abysses are all sinners who have betrayed the monster race.

"Don't go forward anymore." Outside a room on the edge of a cliff, an old woman was basking in torn clothes. She kindly reminded: "Go ahead, and you will be close to the inner city. There are countless old monsters. , If you don’t have some abilities to reach the sky, you'd better turn around as soon as possible."

"Is the inner city ahead?" Ning Changjiu asked.

The old woman said: "Well, it will be after this fog."

Ning Changjiu said: "Thank you, old lady for reminding."

The old woman sneered a little and said: "Young people are all the same, no one can persuade them."

Ning Changjiu smiled apologetically. But seeing the old woman no longer talking, squatting at the door, turning into an old tree.

Ning Changjiu stopped in front of the cliff. He stared for a while, then walked to the side along the plank road with Si Ming.

Although the City of Ten Thousand Demons is named a city, it is essentially a dangerous place surrounded by walls. Except for the original city, which is only the size of a human imperial city, it will be the towering peaks and abyss, block by block. On the huge, fractured peaks, there are vaguely the appearance of buildings, and the peaks are glowing with different colors, clearly dividing the boundary line, like one kingdom after another.

Si Ming wanted to draw a virtual sword habitually, and walked away with the sword, but Ning Changjiu held his hand and gently shook his head to stop it.

"It's just that you can't use swords. I didn't say that you can't use swords. Why be so careful?" Si Ming was a little unhappy: "Also, take your hand away!"

Ning Changjiu let go of his hand and said: "When you find out the details of the Demon King here, it will not be too late to move the sword. You don't have to cause unnecessary trouble."

Those demon kings all fought with the saints at the beginning, and those who can survive must be the existence of the demon's magic.

Si Ming let out a cold snort, unhappy at Ning Chang's long-term gesticulation.

"Forget it, it's up to you." Si Ming said coldly: "If Xiaoling is delayed, don't regret it at that time."

Ning Changjiu looked at her cold eyes, and couldn't help but think again of the spring night dream she had last night, the slightly painful look and the low groan between her lips and teeth... Hmph, knife mouth tofu heart.

Si Ming looked at the sudden smile on his face, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart: "What are you thinking about again?"

Ning Changjiu said: "No, I just think this fox mask fits you well."

Si Ming responded with a sneer: "Your human face and your animal heart are also very suitable."

"..." Ning Changjiu had nothing to refute.

Si Ming finally won, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she slowly walked onto the plank road.

The light is dim in the sky, and the ghostly fog is filled in the mountains. She wore a fox demon mask and walked toward the depths.

Ning Changjiu looked at her back and followed, but for some reason, she always felt that she was drifting away.

He disrupted the troubled thoughts.

The two walked along the plank road by the cliff. The ghost fog in front of them was thick and light. The mountain wall was covered with black moss. From time to time, dark green geckos ran across from above, and the ghost fog was entangled into pieces from time to time. The human face stared at the two outsiders in horror.

These fog monsters are not fatal, they just **** the aura from some people, like a wild goose plucking their hair. But instinctively, none of them dared to approach Si Ming.

At the end of the plank road, there is an open woodland. There are several hundred-year-old trees in the woodland. The lower ends of the old trees are almost dead, but the upper part is still growing with a black night. A python is hanging on the tree. Go up, like a hanged ghoul.

Under the tree, an old man is playing chess with himself. Except for the hat and the fur clothes, the rest of the old man's body is made of black fog. He stared at the chessboard and fell into thought.

As Ning Changjiu and Si Ming passed by, the old man was startled and looked up at them.

"Who are you?" the old man asked.

Ning Changjiu said: "Guests to Ten Thousand Demons City."

The old man shook his head and said unceremoniously: "In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer guests coming to Ten Thousand Demons City. What are your plans?"

Ning Changjiu hummed and said: "We are here to find someone."

The old man said: "Who are you looking for?"

Si Ming asked first: "Who are you again?"

The old man said: "I am the Fog Demon King. I am in charge of the ghost fog here. The official position is not big or small."

Si Ming asked: "Is there anyone who claims to be a ghost king here?"

The old man frowned and said: "Ghost Emperor? I have never heard of it. It should be the great demon in the inner city..."

Ning Changjiu didn't expect to get the result, so he thanked him and left with Si Ming.

The Fog Demon King sat under the old tree, raised his head, looked at the python hanging from above, and placed his son casually. He sighed softly: "On the chessboard, the order is the only way to play chess. No deduction, what's the use?"

As he said, he patted a chess piece on the board. The chess piece broke and turned into a screaming sparrow with **** seven orifices. The sparrow straightened its wings and died.

The fog is a round, and those who are weaker will be trapped in it and always return to the original place.

But it's impossible for the little bugs to constrain Si Ming.

After crossing the cliff, Ning Changjiu looked forward, the ghost mist faded away a lot, and in the sky, several large peaks were towering, like a sword standing upright in the sky.

"Qijue Cliff." Si Ming turned around and looked at the big characters entangled like a red snake on the cliff, muttered.

Ning Changjiu was about to move on, but Si Ming said: "I'm tired."

"Huh?" Ning Changjiu looked back, very puzzled.

Siming said, he took a step forward, and went straight through the fog to the opposite mountain.

Ning Changjiu picked up a cloud and used the sword control technique to control the cloud, and only came to her after a few breaths.

"We are not here to enjoy the scenery." Si Ming said: "First find a place to settle down, then grab the head of the monster, and interrogate the place here. It is best to force a map to be drawn. Otherwise, press We walked at this speed. When we went back, I was afraid that Xiaoling’s body was cold."

Although Ning Changjiu has his own considerations, he also agrees with Si Ming's point of view: "Well, it doesn't matter if you catch monsters. After all, the site of Ten Thousand Monsters City is not good to arouse public anger."

Si Ming asked: "Then you go to seduce a female monster?"

Ning Changjiu thought about it seriously, and said, "I don't like this bite."

Si Ming said: "Then you still think about the fox tail all day?"

Ning Changjiu defended: "This...is different!"

Si Ming said: "Ye Gong is a good dragon."

Ning Changjiu sighed, always feeling that these days Si Ming has satirized himself with many fables and idioms, huh, behave! He secretly calculated, thinking that one day he would return these idioms openly.

In the end, Ning Changjiu was unable to seduce the female goblin, but these cities that fell on the mountain peaks were still quite lawful. After Ning Changjiu and Si Ming entered the city, they bought a complete survey in a shop. On this picture, the names of the major peaks and the names of the small towns that live under the peaks are marked. The only requirement in the shop is that this picture is not allowed to be taken out of the City of Ten Thousand Monsters, otherwise the rules will be broken.

"This picture was drawn with a spirit pen." Si Ming said.

"Ling pen?" Ning Changjiu was puzzled.

"The painting above can stay on paper, but it can't stay in your memory." Si Ming said: "In short, it is forgotten after reading."

Ning Changjiu collected the map. The two of them did not rush to search, but first found an inn. Although the color of the inn was darker, it was still clean. Ning Changjiu walked with Si Ming Going to the long corridor covered with dim paintings, I came to the end of the road and opened the room.

Siming took off the mask and put it on her waist. She went to the window, opened the window, and looked down.

"There are many people in Ten Thousand Demons City," Si Ming said.

"People?"

"Well, didn't you feel it when you came? Many people don't have a demon spirit."

Ning Changjiu does have perception, but only thinks they are hiding well.

Si Ming said: "The City of Ten Thousand Demons is a pure land of monsters, but there are many mountains in the city, but it is also an excellent place for some human sinners to escape. As long as they don’t break the rules of Ten Thousand Demons City, they won’t Being expelled, you can live on for a lifetime."

"So that's it." Ning Changjiu nodded and said, "If you are chased and killed in the future, you can escape here."

Siming responded coldly: "Don't be delusional, the gods are seated high and you can see everything. If I want to chase you, it will be useless for you to escape to the ends of the world."

Ning Changjiu smiled.

Si Ming returned to his senses from the window, looked at the vanity mirror on Chen Yu's case, and frowned slightly. I saw a fruit plate in front of the vanity mirror.

"This is a mirror of the heart." Si Ming said: "This is a rare treasure outside, but it can be seen everywhere here."

"What is a heart mirror?" Ning Changjiu asked.

Si Ming sat in front of the mirror, took a piece of fruit, and said: "You only need to use a knife to peel the peel and peel off the peel completely, and you can see the person you like in the mirror."

Ning Changjiu curiously asked: "Why peel the peel?"

Siming said: "Because the peel is easy to cut off, people will be extra careful and focused, and your spirit will be condensed in the mirror and known to the mirror."

Si Ming finished speaking, raised the fruit knife, and asked with a smile: "Would you like to try it?"

Ning Changjiu said: "Is this still a test?"

Si Ming asked: "Are you afraid of it?"

Ning Changjiu asked: "Can anyone see the person in the mirror except myself?"

Si Ming said: "Don't worry, don't see, I won't marry Lu or Zhao Xianger to sue you."

Ning Changjiu said: "Forget it."

"Why?" Si Ming asked.

Ning Changjiu calmly said: "I'm afraid that there are so many people in the mirror."

Si Ming said gloomily: "Shameless!"

Ning Changjiu asked: "Would you like to try it too?"

Si Ming hummed coldly: "I don't have to try. God doesn't love the world at all. How can a shoddy mirror show my heart?"

The two had a tacit understanding, and no one took photos.

Ning Changjiu took out the geomancy map and said: "Let’s discuss the route first."

Si Ming sat down beside him and looked at the picture together. On the picture scroll, the large and small mountains are marked with names. Although this picture was drawn by a spirit pen, it is not difficult for Si Ming to remember it, but she did not do it, because the deepest place is the most in Ten Thousand Demons City. The core area was smeared black.

"Well, we are here now, Baoxiang Mountain, um...The owner of the mountain should be an elephant." Ning Changjiu said.

"Lion Tuo Mountain is the nearest here. It doesn't sound like there is the power of Mingjun. But the turtle wants you to look for nine green lions, but you can go and see." Si Ming said.

"Well, it's not an emergency. Nine lions will meet each other if they can meet them. Just follow the fate, don't deliberately spend time looking for them." Ning Changjiu said.

Siming praised: "You are really a promised person."

Ning Changjiu ignored her sarcasm and continued: "After Lion Tuo Mountain is Wuji Mountain, then Che Chi Mountain, Zhu Zi Mountain, and this..."

"What's the matter?" Si Ming looked at his expression and his eyes fell.

"Daughter Mountain?" Si Ming looked slightly different.

Ning Changjiu pretended to be serious and said: "You can go and see it here."

Si Ming sneered and said: "It is not a serious mountain name. If you go, you will be skinny if you come out."

The two looked at this geomancy map carefully, and planned a route to travel through all the peaks and valleys. It is estimated that they will be able to walk through the City of Ten Thousand Demons in seven days. If they can’t find it again, they will try their best to enter the City of Ten Thousand Demons. The real core.

After collecting the geomancy map, the sky is getting dark.

"Why is there only one bed?" Si Ming said dissatisfied.

Ning Changjiu said: "Are you going to sleep on the ground again?"

"Don't think about it!" Si Ming said coldly. She took a red rope, stopped in the middle, and said: "Tonight I will give you a chance to stay with this seat, but you are not allowed to go over here. It's overstepped..."

Ning Changjiu looked at her with a smile and asked, "What about it?"

Si Ming knew that Nu Wen was on his body, and it didn't make much sense to say harsh words, and said coldly: "Then I will tell Zhao Xianger!"

Ning Changjiu's heart was stunned, but his face was as usual, "childish."

The two slept on the couch, Ning Changjiu slept inside the line, and Si Ming slept outside the line.

Tonight, Si Ming didn't make any strange dreams. It seemed to be out of nervousness. Her dreams were also very shallow. However, Ning Changjiu slept strangely and died.

Ning Changjiu seems to have had some nightmares too.

He is curled up, his lips are tight, his fingers are clenched, and his eyelids blink.

"Married... Xianger..." He muttered softly in a dream.

Si Ming opened his eyes and stared at his sleeping face, puzzled.

What dream is this?

"Xiang'er...marry..." Ning Changjiu repeated in his dream.

Siming looked at his frowning eyebrows, suddenly realized, and softly sarcastically said: "I still consider you to be a nightmare, so you are having a spring dream. Hmph, call the names of two people at the same time, this is a dream. Enjoy the blessings of the same people?"

Si Ming was not sleepy, thinking quietly.

"Snow...Snow porcelain." Ning Changjiu's words were blurred, and his body began to tremble.

Si Ming's face was gloomy.

Huh...

Why is Snow Porcelain and our company?

"Siming!" Ning Changjiu shouted again.

Si Ming's expression trembles slightly: "Pretend to sleep and tease me?"

Thinking about this, she stretched out her hand and covered Ning Changjiu's forehead...The spirit was heavy and chaotic. Is this demon? No, how could someone use this kind of magic without telling me? Unless that person's realm exceeds the five peaks! Wan Yao has never had such a monster!

Ning Changjiu repeated a few names in a low voice, and his words were difficult.

Si Ming was thinking about it, but her hand was caught. She struggled for a while but couldn't pull it away. Ning Changjiu seemed to have grasped some life-saving straw, Si Ming watched his calming face and stopped struggling.

Ning Changjiu woke up early in the morning.

He opened his eyes and found that the red line around him was still regular.

Well... it's very regular to sleep by yourself.

Ning Changjiu rubbed his forehead, muttering to himself: Strange...How come you dream of Master? Why did the Master stabbed me again... This feeling is so real, I thought I was going to die again... Is this a demon? It can't be killed.

It seems that many people's names were called in the dream...because they didn't actually call them out, right?

Ning Changjiu thought, raising his head, and saw Si Ming sitting in front of the mirror and putting on makeup.

Ning Changjiu Lingtai Qingming.

For some reason, he clearly realized that there was a fruit missing from the fruit plate in front of the mirror.
