The autumn wind rises and the dragon sings

Chapter 194 Extra Story One
[The mission requirement is to win once as a counselor in the devil world, and then die in the hands of a Taoist disciple. Failure will weaken the soul power. ]
A cold mechanical sound sounded, and then disappeared.

The scholar, who was wearing a scribe's robe and a bookish look, opened his mouth slightly, then turned around and vomited blood. The injury on his body also exploded. The blood flowed out of the wound like free money, instantly dyeing the clothes on his body.

"It hurts so badly."

The scholar frowned slightly due to the pain, then controlled the remaining demonic energy and repaired the more serious wounds with difficulty. As for the fatal injury...

The scholar gritted his teeth, urging the death energy to cover it, and used the Tao energy that was swallowed for his own use. The wound deep in the bone began to heal slowly, but it could only last for a month.

The scholar was patiently waiting for his injury to heal, when a flash of light suddenly appeared and struck directly at the door. The scholar immediately turned over and rolled to the side. His cheeks felt cold. The long sword was inserted into the soil, and a touch of red slipped from the blade.

The scholar looked up and saw a Taozi with a delicate and childish face and downcast eyes walking towards him. His slender fingertips were making seals, and his light purple Taoist robe embroidered with cloud patterns swept over the blood-stained grass tips, step by step. approaching.

It seems that this mission is over before it even begins.

The scholar did not panic. From the moment he received the body, he knew that this task was impossible to complete. That little bit of demonic energy was just cannon fodder. If he wanted to become a counselor, he had to be reused. It must have taken a lot of energy and time. Months are simply not enough, and I have met a Taoist priest whose cultivation is far above this body...

"You..." Daozi stopped, raised his eyes slightly to look at the seriously injured demon, and then put his hand down: "You are not the demon before."

The scholar who was waiting calmly for [death] did not expect to hear this, and couldn't help but look surprised: "Can you see it?"

"Feeling." Daozi said calmly, looking at the pure curiosity in the demon's eyes, he took a few steps forward, leaned over and stretched out a hand. The scholar looked at the palm with a thin layer of callus in front of him and put his hand on it. Go up: "You, don't plan to kill me?"

Daozi slightly retracted his hand to pull it up, and then took back the sword. Hearing this, he calmly replied: "You are not that demon, and I have no reason to kill you."

The scholar raised his eyebrows: "But you have to understand that since I use this body, I have to take over the cause and effect of this body. This means that I will return to the devil world and deal with people from the Taoist sect. If you let me go like this If you leave, it will be like letting the tiger return to the mountain."

Daozi shook his head gently: "For those who pass away, the cause and effect will also disappear. You can choose another life."

"But I have no choice." The scholar smiled bitterly, patted the dirt on his clothes, and asked, "Are you really not going to kill me?"

"If that day comes, I will kill you." Daozi's tone was unquestionable and firm, but the scholar smiled happily, turned and left: "Then I will wait for you to kill me."

Find someone who can end the mission in advance, and then think about how to win the battle.

The scholar didn't take the episode to heart. He had given him a chance and was ready to give up on the mission. However, since the other party had no intention of giving him a ride, he could just do the mission with peace of mind. As for the guilt... For task workers with changing positions, this is something that is hard to get used to.

The scholar who originally thought that Daozi really recognized him by feeling found out after he returned to the demon world that his death energy was not well controlled and the body's originally small amount of demon energy was completely eaten away. If he hadn't reacted quickly, Pretending to be serious and adhering to the principle of not giving his sworn enemy a chance to counterattack, the demon world still allowed him to inherit his original identity as a counselor.

The scholar learned that he was actually the third counselor. The first two were said to have gone to Buddhism to work as undercover agents.

"Do you train counselors specifically to be undercovers?" The scholar couldn't help but complained to his current boss, the God of War in the Demon Realm, the King of the Ghost Clan Yin Zhen Zhu Wu, half seriously and half jokingly, in order to test the other party's attitude towards him. .

"A traitor may change the situation of the war; a strong man can completely reverse the situation of the war." Zhu Wu, who was wiping the magic gun in his hand, said this in a cryptic manner. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said lightly. Smile: "Whether a chess piece is useful or not depends on how the chess player arranges it."

"Empty words prove nothing."

"Then let's see if I can stay as a counselor for a long time."

"Wait and see."

Although he looked calm, the scholar knew that this task was not easy to complete. Even if he had a suitable strategy, the demon world would not easily let him lead troops on the battlefield. He needed to hand in a certificate of surrender that would satisfy the demon world and prove it. Only your own value is enough.

One wave after another, the scholar was still worried about the matter of submitting a certificate, but a magic soldier suddenly challenged him, and before he could get a reply, he brandished a spear and attacked.

Demons respect the strong, and even if they are clever strategists, their skills are not too bad.

The scholar didn't know if this was a test, but it was not good for him. It wasn't that he didn't have the power to fight back, but his control over the death energy was not very stable, otherwise the devil energy would not have been eaten up, and the death energy would not have been eaten up. If he loses control, his consciousness will also lose control.

However, he had to take action.

The scholar who barely dodged an attack, but still had another bloodstain on his face, glanced at the demons who were watching not far away. He moved his fingertips slightly, and as soon as the death energy condensed, he saw a white light suddenly pass through the demon. The demon soldier's wrist was cut off abruptly, and he grabbed the spear and dropped it to the ground.

The scholar looked up and saw Bai Zi stopped in front of his eyebrows. He held it back with his pale fingers. The boy in white clothes and white hair stood in front of him, with concern in his red eyes: "Are you okay?"

The scholar's heart skipped a beat and he shook his head in shock. A smile appeared on the young man's charming face, as if he was very happy about this.

But then the scholar discovered that the young man actually had a very cold character. Whether he was breaking the arms and legs of the demon soldiers who were unconvinced and rushed up again, or when he was looking at the demons who were watching, there was no trace of anything on the young man's face. Expressive.

The original test aimed at the scholar changed because of the young man's intervention. After the young man broke the hands and feet of several more demon soldiers, the scholar knew that it was almost done, so he signaled that he could leave. The young man also obediently stopped and pulled the scholar. Jump away.

The young man took the scholar to a secluded place. On the way there, he met a demon who was riding a wolf beast and looked about 14 years old. The young man had a smile on his face and called out affectionately. After "pardoning the life", he took the scholar and continued to leave.

"Are you also a missionary?" The scholar had noticed the difference in the young man a long time ago. As soon as he went to a place where no one was around, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

The young man smiled but did not answer. The scholar thought that the other party had acquiesced, so he couldn't help but smile and continued to ask: "Which department are you from? What do you call...ah, our department does not allow you to use your real name, so you can use a pseudonym." .”

The young man thought about it seriously and kept smiling: "You can call me Jiangyin."

"Jiangyin." The scholar read it again, and just as he was thinking about his pseudonym, the other party asked: "What is your mission this time?"

The scholar told the truth truthfully. At this time, he had not been betrayed yet and still had immature trust in the taskmaster. After he finished speaking, he asked: "Where is your task?"

"There is a place in the demon world." Jiang Yin said without blushing and without a beating heart. The scholar nodded and joked: "I feel that our tasks can be combined, one is responsible for using the brain, and the other is responsible for doing it. Since you want to have a place in the demon world, A place, why not as a demon?"

The principle that the hearts of those who are not of my own species must be different applies everywhere. Although the devil pays more attention to strength, his own kind is more trustworthy. If it weren't for his special physique, he would not want to be so wary.

Jiangyin did not answer, but just asked: "Do you need a demon to complete the task of winning the battle?"

"Probably. After all, you are going to be on the battlefield, so you can't find someone else, right?" The scholar shrugged.

Jiangyin smiled and nodded gently: "I understand."

"By the way, has your department given you any information about this world?" The scholar looked curious and wanted to get some relevant information. Jiangyin smiled and raised his hand to straighten the scholar's messy collar: "You Go and rest first, I will bring you what you need tomorrow."

"There's no need to be so polite..." The scholar noticed that the other party was using an honorific, and felt a little confused. Jiangyin didn't say anything else. After taking the other party to his temporary residence to rest, he went to the place where he practiced martial arts.

As soon as he stepped into this place, a red long whip was swung in front of him. The sharp whip wind rose from the whole body, restricting his own movement. At the same time, the scorpion-hook-like whip tail had already locked onto his fragile neck.

Jiangyin didn't panic, and a sunspot popped out from his fingertips, hitting the tail of the whip that was coming. He moved his feet, and his figure appeared behind the demon who made the move, avoiding the next attack.

"Tsk! If you can, don't hide away. Fight me openly and honestly." The attack failed. The demon with pointed ears and red hair and a face with demon patterns withdrew the evil whip. While making a sound of displeasure, he pointed at Jiang Yin's heart. Swing it away.

Jiang Yin still managed to escape, with a cold expression: "I won't fight, what about Amnesty?"

"If you win, I will tell you!" He drew back his whip and whipped his halberd, the demon's eyes full of fighting spirit.

Jiang Yin ignored it and found that She Sheng, who had just finished their sparring session, was walking towards him with the wolf beast. A smile appeared on his face. When he went up to meet him, he raised his hand to wipe his sweat. The wolf beast came close to him and rubbed his face. Rubbing the pale face.

Seeing this scene, the demon immediately gritted his teeth, feeling that his brother's status was on the verge of collapse. He immediately came over, squeezed Jiang Yin away, and said sarcastically: "Children are children, and they are tired after just sparring for such a while. , It’s really hard to endure.”

She Sheng turned his head and ignored it.

Just as the demon was about to speak again, Jiang Yin made a surprising statement: "Pardon me, I want to become a demon."

As soon as these words came out, both She Sheng and the demon couldn't help but be surprised. After all, Jiang Yin would stay in the demon world, most likely because of She Sheng's life-saving grace. Jiang Yin had also stated before that he would leave after repaying his kindness. Go find your own master, so you won’t be possessed.

If it weren't for Jiang Yin's unknown strength, he would have been eliminated long ago.

"Is it because of the counselor who was kidnapped?" The existence of the scholar is not a secret. After all, demons without any demonic energy are very conspicuous in the demon world. With Jiang Yin helping him, Sheng Sheng can naturally understand the reason. connect.

Jiang Yin nodded, and the demon couldn't help but frown: "That is the master you are looking for? He is too weak. Do you think that if I kill him, can I become your master?" After speaking, he showed a malicious look. smile.

Jiang Yin glanced at him calmly and smiled slightly: "You can't kill him." Then she ignored the other party's reaction and looked at She Sheng: "Take me to become a demon."

She Sheng looked at him for a moment, and after seeing no other emotions from those calm red eyes, he nodded lightly.

When the scholar saw Jiang Yin again, it was already the second day, and he was startled by the way the other person was covered in blood. Just as he was about to help heal the injury, Jiang Yin gently shook his head: "Don't worry, this is not my blood. It’s just that I’ve just become possessed and haven’t gotten used to it yet.”

"Bewitched? Then..." The scholar subconsciously wanted to ask clearly, but then realized that he could not be possessed by the demon with his life force. When he felt helpless, Jiang Yin thoughtfully brought over a piece of food and books: "You can eat first , this book contains some information about the Demon Realm and Xuanzong, which may be useful to you."

"It's so useful. Thank you!" The scholar reached out and took it. Just as he was about to bow and say thank you, Jiang Yin interrupted: "I want to change my clothes. Do you mind?"

"I don't mind, I don't mind. This is your place." The scholar shook his head repeatedly. He felt strange because of the other party's overly politeness, but it quickly disappeared. After seeing Jiangyin go to change clothes, he sat down in front of the table. Read a book while eating breakfast.

The book describes some of the battles between the Demon Realm and Xuanzong, but they both won and lost, but Xuanzong won more times. After all, the demons still don't understand human beings when they really don't want to die.

It's still a bit difficult. Without a certificate, the demon world will not send troops to him. If this body is not so fragile, he can consider fighting hard, even if he can't win, he can still get some recognition.

"Alas..." The scholar lay on the table and sighed, feeling very headache.

"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Yin, who had changed her clothes, stood behind the scholar and asked with concern.

The scholar explained what was causing his headache. After hearing this, Jiang Yin smiled and said, "You may not know that this world has not begun yet."

"It hasn't started yet?" The scholar was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he raised his head from the table: "In other words, except for the key figures, others seem to have high status and aura, but in fact they are not that sharp."

"Yes, you can start with these people, and because they are not key figures, their death will not attract the attention of Tiandao, nor will it affect the development of the subsequent plot." Jiangyin explained.

Although the missions are all short-lived characters, the scholar still knows this and understands that this is a loophole that can be exploited. He nodded happily: "Okay, then I will attack them on the battlefield. Although I am a bit fragile, But I should be able to barely take away one or two.”

Jiang Yin suppressed her smile and said, "You want to go to the battlefield alone?"

"Do you want to come too?" The scholar asked casually. After all, they have already helped me a lot, so there is no need to...

"Okay. In ten days, the demon world will take action against Xuanzong, and we will be together then." Jiangyin smiled again, looking very interested. Seeing that the scholar was about to refuse, he explained: "After all, I also want to have a place in the demon world. You I also said that our tasks can be combined.”

The scholar thought about it for a moment, and then he no longer refused: "Then let me see if I can get a few magic soldiers to come over. The more people there are, the better the chance of winning."

Jiang Yin's eyes darkened slightly and she nodded with a smile.

Then within the next month, the scholar wanted to talk to Yinquan Zhuwu about how to get some magic soldiers, but the other party seemed to be busy with the layout of the war, and he never found him.

Once I met a demon with red hair and sharp ears who called me uncle. He challenged the scholar on the condition that he would fight with him and give him a demon soldier if he won.The scholar didn't want Jiang Yin to get hurt because of his mission, so he was about to grit his teeth and agree, but Jiang Yin suddenly appeared and took him away directly.

"Why did you agree?" Jiang Yin asked when she returned to her residence.

The scholar was a little strange: "This is the condition for me to get the magic soldier. He is the only one willing to talk to me. It's just a fight, so he won't die."

"You don't need magic soldiers, I can help you win."

"How can that be done? It's very dangerous." The scholar disagreed, and Jiang Yin did not continue the topic, but changed it to another: "By the way, why did you come here alone? Didn't your friends come with you? "

"Friend..." The scholar shook his head and sighed: "How should I put it, my friend cares about me very much and even ignores the elders' criticism, but... I am too weak. The friend who is younger than me has She wanted to give me a sword as a gift, but instead I was injured by the sword spirit inside, which scared her so much that she hasn’t come to see me for a while.”

"What about Reiji?"

The scholar was a little surprised at first, but he soon lost that feeling and replied, "Reiji... his status is far above me. If it weren't for the fact that I was brought back by Lan, he would not have noticed me at all. And before There have been rumors that I relied on Lan’s relationship to obtain the position of Soul Chief, which caused him a lot of trouble, so it’s better to keep a distance.”

"Do you think you are causing trouble to Li Si?" Jiang Yin asked with a smile, and the scholar nodded seriously: "Because my strength is very poor, the elders have been criticizing me, and such rumors have spread again. My strength has improved. , and...before I get the evidence that those elders want to rebel, I'd better stay alone."

Jiangyin asked again: "Have you ever thought that maybe Li Si is not worried about this and can even help you?"

The scholar stopped talking but did not speak. Jiangyin continued: "Maybe you can give it a try. It is not difficult to ask friends for help with some things."

"Actually, I'm not really alone." The scholar didn't want to talk more and changed the topic: "When I was doing a task before, I also got help from a taskmaster. He was very enthusiastic and learned that I didn't know much about him. He told me a lot about the content of the mission, and he also helped me with the next few missions. Oh, and he also gave me a gift."

As the scholar spoke, he took out a long sword from his personal system space. This was specially used to store personal items and would be given out when he started the task.

Jiang Yin glanced at it and was not interested: "This is just a very ordinary long sword, you can see it everywhere."

"Etiquette is light but affection is important. Friends don't care about such things." The scholar didn't mind Jiang Yin's attitude and carefully put away the long sword. There was a coldness in Jiang Yin's eyes, and he restrained the thought of destroying it. With a smile: "Then, I also want to give you something as a gift." After speaking, the articulation was slightly heavier, with a bit of stubbornness.

The scholar glanced at him and smiled lightly. He did not refuse or agree. He just asked casually: "Do you think we can complete the task with just the two of us?"

"In our opinion, they are not important, but to Xuanzong, they are elders with a higher status." Jiangyin explained patiently, and then added: "But to be precise, you and I are not the only ones on the battlefield. .”

The scholar nodded slightly, indicating that he understood: "In other words, we only need to attack those few people and use a little exaggerated shock, maybe we can make Xuanzong want to retreat."

"Xuanzong's Taoism is not just a show, you..."

"As long as it's not..." The scholar opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. He just reminded: "Forget it, look at me when the time comes, and if you can't do it, stab me."

Jiangyin shook her head: "I can't hurt you."

"Don't speak too early. I hope you will be gentle when the time comes."

Seeing the scholar's determined look, Jiang Yin stopped refuting, and then realized something belatedly, hesitating: "You... don't plan to get the magic soldiers?"

"But you don't want any magic soldiers to join us." The scholar had a knowing smile on his face, and his tone was a bit teasing: "Although the tasker and the tasker will automatically team up, but as possessive as you are, It’s really rare.”

After saying that, the scholar turned around and sat down in front of the desk. He took out the previous information and read it carefully.Jiang Yin stood there, looking blankly at the scholar's face as he lowered his head to read, his eyes dark.

"Do you want to replace me?" Jiangyin said softly. The scholar didn't hear clearly and cast a doubtful look. However, he saw that Jiangyin had already turned around and left. Then he shrugged and continued to read the information in his hand.

Ten days passed by in a blink of an eye. The scholar kept his word and did not think of ways to borrow magic soldiers to make up for the loss. However, his superior seemed to realize that he was a mere commander and thoughtfully sent a small team of magic soldiers over.

The number was not much, but it was better than nothing. The scholar smiled and poked Jiang Yin's arm: "It seems that you have to listen to the one who does the task first. You know that you will send magic soldiers when you go to the battlefield, so you told me not to waste my energy. Are you fighting?"

Jiang Yin smiled slightly, but when the scholar turned around and ordered the demon soldiers, a mechanical cold light appeared in his red eyes, which made the demon soldiers who had dissident intentions instantly calm down and change their previous contempt.

The scholar may be a weak person, but Jiang Yin is not, and the other party also takes orders from the seemingly weak scholar. What the red-haired and pointed-eared demon said before about killing the scholar was not a joke, and Jiang Yin was also not a joke. In those ten days, , no demon can approach the scholar.

Demons all yearn for the strong. No demon would think that a strong man like Jiang Yin would succumb to a weak one. Either he was pressured by a contract, but Jiang Yin took it for granted, or the scholar was not a weakling. These demon soldiers were also Equivalent to a watcher.

Noticing that several magic soldiers were absent-minded, the scholar frowned slightly, but didn't say much. Seeing Jiangyin walking to his side, he took out a light long sword: "Are you ready?"

Jiangyin smiled when she saw that it was not the long sword from before: "Wait a moment." As she said that, she took out a pendant from the other side and tied it to the hilt of the sword. Her pale fingertips had a strange beauty against the blood.

The scholar looked at the fine carvings on it and smiled: "You really made me a gift."

"I said it." After confirming that it was fastened, Jiang Yin took his hand back, and a white seed appeared between his fingers. Demonic aura lingered around his body. The scholar gently exhaled a breath of turbid air, suppressed the imminent death aura, and tightened his grip. Sword in hand: "Act as planned."

"As ordered."

Jiangyin bowed his head respectfully.

The strange feeling reappeared in his mind again. Just as the scholar was about to speak, the war drums suddenly sounded. The demon soldiers who had been prepared clenched their weapons one after another. The overwhelming demonic energy spread instantly and collided with the pure holy Taoist energy not far away. , the earth collapsed and split instantly.

The war begins here.

The scholar originally wanted to attack those targets without using the death energy, but the mixed aura of demonic energy and dao energy was too strong. The death energy was already uncontrollable, and now it is even more cheering and spreading unscrupulously. , proceeding to devour.

It's a quick fight...

The scholar sighed secretly, and did not take action against those Taoists. Instead, he transformed into the wind and swung his sword quickly and accurately towards the target person. The Taoism he had just condensed was swallowed up by the death energy in an instant, and the sharp sword blade sank into his heart at the same time. , warm blood splashed on his face, making his dark eyes turn red.

Pulling out the sword blade, he saw the Taoist priest who had successfully attacked fell to the ground. Instead of finishing the attack, he quickly moved towards the next target. The death energy had already entered his body, and it was only a matter of time before he swallowed up the life force.But on the other hand, it is only a matter of time before it swallows up his sanity.

Jiang Yin was responsible for the target on the other side. At first, he used chess pieces to break the formation and kill people. It was equivalent to a long-range attack and did not stain his robes with a drop of blood.Later, after seeing the scholar who was gradually losing control and breaking the formation with such ferocity that he was covered in blood, Jiang Yin immediately put away the chess pieces, picked up a sword and chose to break the formation by force.

The white robe on his body was soon stained red by blood, making his monstrous face look even more sinister. The demon who was killing the enemy not far away noticed Jiang Yin and the scholar's nearly synchronized sword swings, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. See the other party's intention.

He wanted to be like his master.

The scholar who was gradually losing control did not notice this. The death energy around him became more and more intense, and he swallowed the Tao energy unscrupulously to destroy the formation. It was not at all like a method that a demon should have.

The scholar maintained his few sanity and calculated the time before he would completely lose control. However, as the evil-dispelling formation emerged under his feet, a familiar bone-deep pain came from his soul. The scholar could hardly hold the long sword in his hand. , kneeling on the ground, his mind collapsed.

The out-of-control death energy spread rapidly and began to devour the enemy regardless of friend or foe. Daozi and the demon soldiers with weak cultivation were instantly deprived of their vitality and turned into withered bones.

The Taoist who had set up the formation was closer to the scholar. When he saw this, he immediately stepped back, but his heart felt cold. The blood-stained sword easily pierced his heart, and Jiang Yin's cold and enchanting face appeared behind him.

Without paying much attention to the fallen Taoist, Jiang Yin popped out a white piece. After destroying the formation, he reached out and took the trembling scholar into his arms.

"Puchi-"

Feeling a slight pain in her abdomen, Jiang Yin lowered her eyes, looked at the scholar's hand holding the sword, and asked softly: "Do you want to kill?"

The scholar who was indulging in painful memories immediately shook his head. Jiang Yin smiled and introduced all the spreading death energy into his body. The scholar relaxed, closed his eyes and passed out.

When the scholar woke up, Jiang Yin was coming in with delicious food. The unique aroma of the food seemed to relieve the uncomfortable dizziness. The scholar was about to get up, but his hand was hit by something. When he picked it up, he saw that it was the other side pendant. .

"The devil has won, you can relax a little." Jiang Yin helped the scholar up and told the news with a smile.

"Oh..." His consciousness gradually became clearer, and only a few memories remained after he lost control. The scholar unconsciously looked at the other person's abdomen and said hesitantly: "You used your own body. Are you not a human being?"

The human body is too fragile to withstand the flow of time and space.

"I am an exclusive system." Jiangyin handed over the food without any intention of hiding it.

"No wonder you are so powerful..." The scholar understood. The exclusive system and the system are completely different things. The latter is only responsible for issuing tasks, and generally has no entity. The former is equivalent to a personal butler. If the host needs it, he can also A direct replacement for the system's location.

Jiang Yin's eyes moved slightly and she asked, "Are you envious?"

"Of course I would be envious if I could get personal care from a strong person, and it would be unconditional. And to create an exclusive system, it would definitely take a lot of effort. Anyway, I haven't seen any taskmaster have such luxury."

Looking at the scholar with bright eyes, Jiang Yin couldn't help but ask: "Don't you find it annoying?"

"Ah? How could it be? If there was an exclusive system like yours, I would be happy before it was too late."

Jiangyin was stunned for a moment, but the scholar guessed something and asked tactfully: "Are you at odds with your host? Or did he find you annoying and scolded you?"

"The master has a good temper. He is just... seriously injured. He doesn't want me to follow him and keep a distance from him." Jiang Yin thought of the young man who was only covered with a layer of flesh and blood and could not look like a human being. His eyes couldn't help but turn cold.

"So, you ran away from home?" the scholar asked with interest.

"I...I just don't want the master to replace me." Jiangyin hesitated to speak, but her expression was very confused: "Maybe the master can be happier if he can't see me. I will go back when the master is in a better mood."

"Well, I don't know much about your master's situation, but I think you may have misunderstood. Maybe your master didn't mean to change you, maybe it was just an angry word. You must know that when people are injured and in pain...well, emotions It will be out of control.”

The scholar comforted him unconsciously, and then said with a bit of seriousness: "If you leave without saying goodbye, it's best to go back quickly. Your master may be worried about you, and even thinking about how to excuse you. After all, your behavior has been criticized." It’s almost dereliction of duty.”

"...I understand." Jiangyin nodded slightly, looked into the scholar's clear eyes, and couldn't help but say: "I hope you don't trust the taskmaster too much, or you will get hurt."

"I'm still wary of this." The scholar patted Jiang Yin's shoulder, then jumped off the bed and ran out the door: "I'm going to do the remaining tasks. See you later."

Jiang Yin didn't reply this time, with a complex and human expression on her face, which finally turned into confusion.

When night fell, the scholar came back with a depressed look on his face. Jiang Yin thoughtfully poured a glass of warm water and waited for the other person to speak, pretending to be the tree hole.

The scholar also narrated after drinking water. After he quietly left the demon world, he found Ziyi Daozi who was healing his wounds in a back mountain with his eyes closed. After giving him medicine, the scholar waited for Ziyi Daozi to kill him.After all, his appearance on the battlefield was seen by many people, and Ziyi Daozi also joined the war, so he must have understood that his existence was a threat to Xuanzong.

but!Ziyi Daozi just looked up at the scholar calmly, then picked up the medicine bottle, thanked him and left.At first, the scholar thought that the other party was afraid of being deceived, so he went back to find his elders. However, he stayed there for a whole day in the cold wind, and Ziyi Daozi did not show up again, let alone kill him.

"Why is this?" The scholar said he didn't understand, and Jiang Yin, who was not a human being, couldn't understand even more. There was no answer to this question.

In the next few days, the scholar looked for opportunities to sneak out of the demon world quietly, went to find Ziyi Daozi, and persuaded him to kill him.Because of Jiang Yin's cover, the demon world did not notice anything unusual about the scholar. In addition, Jiang Yin had also prevented the demon from approaching the scholar before, so he only felt that Jiang Yin was too possessive.

Several days passed, and the scholar's body became weaker and weaker, and his mood became more and more depressed. He didn't like to give up on tasks halfway, so he would either not do it or finish it.But it happened to be stuck at the easiest point. In the past few days, instead of persuading Ziyi Daozi, he had been fed countless chicken soup. If the other party's aura hadn't been as normal, he would have doubted whether he had been taken away.

"Perhaps you don't want to do it privately and want to use your blood to comfort the deceased elders on the battlefield. You can wait patiently. There will be another war after the New Year. If it doesn't work, you can find one while taking advantage of the chaos." Jiangyin comforted her softly. .

The scholar felt the same. It was indeed not very bright to kill enemies in private, and then he noticed another detail: "Is it the Chinese New Year?"

"When you came, it happened to be the winter solstice."

"Oh - just thinking about completing the task, I didn't even notice whether it was snowing or not." The scholar smiled and coughed up dirty blood, and at the same time he became interested. He had not experienced the New Year in the devil world yet.

Of course, he was unable to experience the New Year at the headquarters due to many factors. The last New Year was completely ruined because his brother entered the palace and was kidnapped.

Because of the expectation, half of the depression about the task card was relieved. The scholar also went out to negotiate with his temporary colleagues. Although they were all very enthusiastic about the martial arts competition, they were politely and firmly rejected by him, but the subtle relationship between colleagues , was still established.

When the New Year came, the scholar discovered that the way of celebrating the New Year in the demon world was very similar to that of humans. Thinking about it, the difference between demons and humans is sometimes not very big, and he himself was often regarded as an evil spirit.

Of course there are still differences.

After eating a strange dumpling, the scholar returned to his room and secluded himself. It was only after Jiang Yin brought the dumplings he made that the scholar felt alive. At the same time, he also understood that the food he had eaten before was all made by Jiang Yin himself. Yes, I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart.

Later, She Sheng and the devil with red hair and pointed ears also joined in the action of dividing dumplings. This time, the devil did not ask for a discussion. Jiangyin knew that this meant acceptance, and a smile appeared on her face, but she saw Although the scholar was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes.

After She Sheng and the Devil left, the scholar asked to see the snow. Jiang Yin naturally agreed and thoughtfully prepared a fox fur. Although the scholar didn't need it, he didn't refuse.

"Are you unhappy?" Jiang Yin followed the scholar with concern on her face.

The scholar looked at the vast expanse of white in front of him and sighed: "This acceptance comes at the wrong time."

Jiangyin was puzzled: "If you like the devil world, you can apply to the above, and you should be able to delay your departure."

"I can't even control my own death energy, so what should I do if I stay here? After I lose control of my death energy, will I be set up to kill again?" The scholar wrapped the fox fur tightly, but couldn't feel any warmth: "Can the demon world Accept me because of the death energy, and you can get rid of me because of the death energy, just like before..."

Jiangyin said: "As long as I am here, such a thing will not happen."

"But Jiangyin, you won't always be here. You have people you need to protect..." The scholar coughed a few times, then raised his hand to wipe the blood from his mouth, and sighed slightly: "And there is no place for me in this world. place."

The scholar's thin figure gradually faded away. Jiang Yin watched quietly, the confusion in her red eyes slowly dissipated, and she murmured in a low voice: "I understand..."

Time passed by, and when the scholar was about to collapse, he waited until the demon world launched a victorious pursuit of Xuanzong. It was still him and Jiangyin, but it was different from the last time. This time he asked Xuanzong's people to stab him.

"Can you still hold on? How about I bring someone here for you?" Jiang Yin suggested. The scholar shook his head and declined: "That would be too deliberate. Don't worry, I will hold on until the task is completed."

Jiang Yin then said no more, and when the war drums sounded, the two of them took action separately.

The scholar quickly found Ziyi Daozi who was fighting, but it was a bit far away, so he had to find a way to get close.

"Zheng-"

Just as he was about to take action, the sound of Lingling piano suddenly sounded, and the scholar was distracted for a moment. He saw a shadow of Dao walking flexibly and quickly between the demon soldiers and Daozi, holding a sword and attacking in the direction of the scholar. The demon soldiers wanted to stop him, but in an instant Eliminated by the sword of the Taoist.

The scholar subconsciously took a step back, and his heart immediately felt a stinging pain. Unknown to him, the Taoist had arrived in front of him and plunged the sword into the fatal spot. The awe-inspiring Taoist energy instantly crushed his fragile heart.

Before losing consciousness, the scholar saw the cold and indifferent eyes of the Taoist, and then he sank into the darkness, and a familiar mechanical sound rang in his ears.

[mission completed. ]
On the battlefield at this time, after the Taoist killed the scholar, he quickly sheathed his sword and retreated, killing the demon soldiers who blocked him along the way. He came to the back of the battle and stopped, looking dazed and confused.

In one of Xuanzong's guest rooms, a young man in simple green clothes made a movement, and the sound of the piano suddenly stopped. Then he exerted force with his fingertips, shaking the sandalwood piano under his hand into pieces.

The young man picked up the strings, pushed open the door and walked outside the house. A Confucian scholar dressed in gorgeous purple stood in the white snow, waving his fan and smiling.

　To explain, the scholar has not experienced the pain of thunder punishment, and Jiang Yin was born after thunder punishment. Because this world has not yet begun, time and space are not stable, so the two met. (I almost fainted by myself_)
