Ji Shaoyu remembered what Lilith said at the beginning, what is a devil's contract, maybe the gods and demons created it, maybe it created the gods and demons.
There are two kinds of tasks released by Devil's Contract, the former makes people become gods, and the latter makes people become demons. But one thing is the same, that is, they both mean killing and plundering. Although the Holy Sect is called the Demon Sect in the secular world, Ji Shaoyu never thought about becoming a demon. In the previous life, Ji Shaoyu liked Nie Xiaoqian in A Chinese Ghost Story very much, but this does not mean that Ji Shaoyu will possess her. In his previous life, he had imagined how he would protect her if he were Ning Caichen, but since meeting Mo Lanlin, Ji Shaoyu is no longer the same Ji Shaoyu.
Ji Shaoyu frowned slightly. The punishment for failing the mission was almost unbearable and had a great impact on Ji Shaoyu. The mission rewards of the Devil's Contract seem to be intended to make up for Ji Shaoyu's lack of attack methods, but the punishment for mission failure is also not light, and there is a time limit.
Lilith seemed to see Ji Shaoyu's concerns and said, "Please rest assured, host, the devil's contract will not issue impossible tasks."
"I choose one." Ji Shaoyu made his choice.
"I wish the host a successful completion of this mission!" Lilith's beautiful voice finished speaking and disappeared.
Ji Shaoyu and Lilith's conversation was unknown to Ji Yuxuan who was standing aside.
"This painting is so beautiful!" The scholar carrying a bookcase on his back praised the painting as he stood in front of the painting stall and looked at the painting of a beautiful woman washing her hair. I don’t know whether to praise the beauty of the painting or the beauty of the woman in the painting.
"Sir, you have really good taste. If you're interested, please give me a price." The owner of the painting stall had dog skin plaster on his face and was holding a feather fan in his hand. He looked like a profiteer and saw someone coming forward. , immediately greeted him with a smile.
Ji Shaoyu knew that the scholar in front of him was the protagonist of this plot copy, Ning Caichen.
Ji Shaoyu and Ji Yuxuan stood in the middle of the street, and Ji Yuxuan was on the right side of Ji Shaoyu, just blocking Ning Caichen's sight. Otherwise, it is hard to say whether Ning Caichen would still be attracted by that painting.
The owner of the painting stall did have a bad taste. Although Ning Caichen was handsome, he was dressed in coarse linen clothes with windy sleeves. As expected, Ning Caichen smiled and said, "I am a poor scholar, and I don't even have money." , how can I have money to buy your paintings?”
"What's the use of low status and high taste?" The painting stall owner said with contempt, turning over the paintings to prevent Ning Caichen from looking at them in vain.
At this time, another short man with a deer head and rat eyes came, holding a rope and measuring Ning Caichen's body.
"What are you doing?" Ning Caichen was frightened and quickly took a step back and asked.
"I also sell coffins. Measure them now and they will be useful later!" The short man chased after Ning Caichen and said, regardless of Ning Caichen's retreat.
Arriving at the place where the national custom is strong, he custom-made coffins for living people on the street. There is really no taboo in doing this business.
"Thank you." Ning Caichen was speechless for a moment. He was just a scholar and didn't know how to fight with others. He could only refuse and wanted to leave.
"I forgot to tell you that there are many wild wolves in the woods north of the city. They will come out after dark. You will definitely encounter them." Ning Caichen was penniless and had no money to stay in an inn, so he planned to stay in the inn in the north of the city. He spent the night in an abandoned ancient temple ten miles away, and he had just asked the short man for directions.
Everyone in Guobei County knows that Lanruo Temple is haunted, and there are many wild wolves in the woods north of the city. So from the short man's point of view, if Ning Caichen decided to go to Lanruo Temple to spend the night, it would be a bad idea. It’s decided.
Ning Caichen is a disciple of Confucianism. He studied "The Master does not talk about monsters, but his power confuses the gods." Ning Caichen does not believe that there are monsters in the world, but he is very afraid of the wild wolves that the short man talks about. However, due to lack of money to stay in an inn, Ning Caichen Or bite the bullet and walk towards the woods north of the city.
Ji Shaoyu and Ji Yuxuan looked at this noisy scene. Although Ji Shaoyu felt familiar, to Ji Yuxuan, it was the most ordinary scene in the world and she didn't care.
"Let's go!" Originally, Ji Shaoyu and Ji Yuxuan could reach the woods in the north of the city in less than a moment, but now Ji Shaoyu is not in a hurry. Ji Shaoyu himself cannot find the different space underworld of the old demon in Black Mountain, so he can only let the plot Development, and finally opened the underworld in a different space.
As the sun set over the west mountain and the sky gradually turned dark, Ji Shaoyu and Ji Yuxuan followed Ning Caichen to the woods in the north of the city.
"Why didn't you stop him?" Ji Yuxuan also knew that Ji Shaoyu was following the scholar. When she saw Ning Caichen walking into the woods carrying a lantern, she couldn't help but ask. Not only was this forest extremely dark, but there was also a powerful demonic energy permeating the sky above the forest. A powerless scholar who walked into this forest would undoubtedly be seeking death in her opinion. Although Ji Yuxuan is not a kind-hearted person, she is not so simple and does nothing to save her.
"It doesn't matter! As long as we follow him, nothing will happen to him." Although without Ning Caichen, Ji Shaoyu was sure to promote the development of the plot, but just in case, she still let him follow. When they arrived outside the city, Ji Shaoyu had already opened the three Magatama Sharingan. In Ji Shaoyu's Sharingan eyes, the night was the same as the day, and all the wind and grass around him could be seen.
"You must not kill it! If you kill me, I won't be able to get out of this forest." There was a howl of wolves in the woods, and Ning Caichen was very scared and kept looking forward and backward. The night wind was cold, Ning Caichen shivered and said to the lantern in his hand.
Ji Shaoyu and Ji Yuxuan both restrained their auras, so the wolves did not notice them. But Ning Caichen was stared at by three wild wolves. He screamed and ran away in a hurry. But how could a two-legged man outrun four legs? He was soon caught up by the three wild wolves. Ning Caichen was leaning against a big tree, sweating profusely, panting, and extremely scared. He could only use the lantern in his hand to shine around, using the weak firelight to prevent the wolves from approaching.
Wild wolves are ferocious animals with a keen sense of smell and are good at tracking. Once they encounter prey, they will never let go. When encountering a pack of wolves in the woods, it would be difficult for ordinary people to survive.
"Xuan'er." Ji Shaoyu called softly.
Ji Yuxuan understood and immediately took action.
