Chapter 885
The birds chirped and the stream flowed in the mountain .
A horse carriage moved slowly along the mountain road at a steady pace . The sound of the horse’s hooves echoed through the air .
A small portion of a red dress could be seen hanging down from the horse carriage . The sound of bells moved along with the hooves and rang through the air . It was pleasing to the ear .
The girl leaned against the horse carriage with half-closed eyes . She had a three-inch bamboo stick in her hand and she was tapping it casually on the back of the horse .
The girl was beautiful . No scenery on the mountain could be compared with her smile .
The horse carriage reached the end of the mountain path . The view in front of them changed .
There was a village .
“Are you all sure that it’s here?”
The girl in red jumped down the horse carriage and looked at the village .
Black shadows suddenly appeared all around her and a black ball of ghostfire floated in front of the girl .
“Urgh…” Of course . How can we be wrong!
“The last time, you all found a woman . The last time, you all found a young lady that just got pregnant . The last last last time, you all found a man…”
The ball of fire moved up and down and interrupted Ming Shu’s lecture .
“Urgh…” We are definitely right this time!
They were certain .
They had been sealed for a long time so it was acceptable that they would make some mistakes at the start .
Ming Shu was speechless . She remembered the time when they told her why they didn’t want to change into human form . They said that walking was tiring .
Ming Shu slowly entered the village .
The village was huge . It was lunchtime, so most of the households were cooking .
“Oh my god!”
The woman that was cooking suddenly saw a girl in red outside her house and almost threw her cooking turner in fright .
She patted her chest and looked at Ming Shu carefully . “Little girl, where did you come from?”
She knew everyone in the village, but she had never seen this girl before .
Ming Shu smiled brightly and took out a spirit stone . “Can I have a meal here?”
The woman didn’t know what a spirit stone was, but the stone was beautiful and the girl was pretty . Hence, she agreed to Ming Shu’s request .
There were an old lady and a child in this house too . They led a poor life .
Ming Shu was pretty and her smile was gentle and warm . She looked innocent and harmless . The woman liked her a lot and decided to cook one more dish for her .
Before she finished cooking, the girl in red brought back some wild rabbits .
When the table was set up, the scrawny child looked at the meat and swallowed .
It was rare for them to be able to eat meat . They might not even have meat every half a year .
After they were done, Ming Shu asked the woman, “Did any strangers come to the village recently?”
“Strangers?” The woman shook her head . “Not that I know of . ”
Ming Shu asked again, “Is there anything strange that happened in the village recently?”
The woman paused from washing her dishes . She looked hesitant . “Lady, why are you asking this?”
“Did something happen?”
The woman stared at Ming Shu’s gentle and smiling eyes . She wiped her hands and said, “Sigh, it is not a big issue . There is a crippled old man in our village who picked up a baby a few days ago . The baby was really pretty . However, this old man didn’t like babies before . I don’t know why he would suddenly carry a baby back . He doesn’t allow anyone to touch the baby, either . ”
A few months had passed since the demon king escaped . It was a huge issue in the country and the three sects and six clans formed alliances with the other sects and clans to find the demon king .
The demon king used a human and managed to escape the thunderbolt . The three sects and six clans were unable to confirm its location and had a difficult time finding the demon king .
Ming Shu followed the woman’s directions and walked to the edge of the village slowly .
There was only one straw house there . A dilapidated fence surrounded the house and formed a small courtyard inside .
An old man sat inside the courtyard . He had a hunched back and was stirring something in a pail .
The sound of bells came from outside and the man looked up .
His eyes were misty and his face was yellowed . His eyes sunk into their sockets . He looked like someone on the brink of death .
The two people looked at each other .
The air seemed to have stilled .
The old man looked down and continued stirring the thing in the pail .
Ming Shu asked, “Where is the child?”
The old man suddenly increased his speed and muttered, “The child is hungry . He wants to eat now . He is hungry . He is hungry…”
Ming Shu looked at the straw house behind him .
There was no special aura coming from there . The demon king was not inside .
There was a problem here .
Where is the demon king?
Did he fly away?
Boom!
The pail that the old man was stirring broke and red liquid flowed out of it .
“He is hungry!”
A sinister voice came out of the old man’s mouth .
Ming Shu reached out and blocked the liquid . A shadow appeared in front of her and protected her .
The red liquid turned into numerous vicious demons . The demons surrounded them entirely .
Ming Shu looked at Lian Jing’s serious face . He stabbed the demon in front of him with his sword and flew into the air with Ming Shu .
The area was filled with demons . They covered the ground and the sky . There seemed to be no end to them .
After they killed the first batch of demons, the second batch took over .
They glared at them with hideous faces and screamed . Their eyes were vicious and they looked like they wanted to tear them apart .
Lian Jing couldn’t change his form when he wanted . He also couldn’t maintain his human form for long .
Ming Shu grabbed his wrist . “Change back . Let me do it . ”
“If I can’t even protect you, I will be ashamed of myself . ” Lian Jing sneered .
The energy from the sword changed . It was red at the start and then it changed to blue . After that, it turned black… The Lianjing sword?
The black sword energy looked normal, but the demons screamed in fear when they saw it . Those that didn’t retreat in time turned into dust when the black sword energy touched them .
A hole appeared at the top and Lian Jing jumped through it while carrying Ming Shu .
After they managed to get out of the hole . Lian Jing waved his hand . A few flashes of sword energy struck the demons below and they demons disappeared . They were all turned into dust .
Ming Shu felt the Lian Jing losing his energy and she started to fall to the ground .
Lian Jing and Ming Shu slammed into the ground on their backs . They lay on the ground lazily just like how the Lianjing sword always did .
Ming Shu: “…”
Stupidity is infectious .
Other people will land with their feet on the ground, looking very handsome and cool .
He, on the other hand, landed on his back .
Is it because he won’t get hurt?
Or does he think this posture is pretty?!
Ming Shu smiled and mocked him before picking him up from the ground .
The Lianjing sword vibrated . It was not happy .
It wanted to be hugged!
It didn’t want to be picked up like this!
Ming Shu ignored its shouting and brought it into the courtyard .
The demons had already disappeared but the old man was still here . He sat there and continued stirring . He muttered the same words over and over again: “He is hungry, he is hungry…”
Ming Shu walked past him and entered the straw house .
The house was simple and dilapidated . There was an unpleasant smell inside .
