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 there are delays most of the time, 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 that Fanning is earnestly fighting demons and defending the way of morality, and implementing his own way of life and values. Readers are still more interested in this kind of thing. No matter how weird the supporting characters of a comic are, the protagonist is always the one that people are drawn to. Therefore, as long as the protagonist's upgrade path is cool, there are still many readers who are drawn to it.
In the latest issue, Fanning recently found a place that can be used to receive all kinds of messy commissions, and such places are actually everywhere.
For some independent Taoist priests, as long as they hold the 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, making the Taoist priest who accepts the commission look more like a... Taoist priest.
These packages include renting costumes and props, providing pick-up and drop-off services, finding out where there are places nearby that need Taoist "door-to-door services", such as haunted houses, or places where 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 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 industry chain to some extent...
The purpose of the commission is that we are only responsible for finding places that need services. As for whether we can solve this commission, it depends on your luck.
Although Faning had never been to such a place before, he had at least 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 had accepted mainly involved killing one monster, killing two monsters, killing three monsters... in short, all kinds of monster-killing tasks.
The monsters that Faning has fought so far are only those of lower levels. He doesn't dare to take on higher-level monsters, so Yuan Yuanyuan even knows the types of many of the monsters he has fought.
Just like the two monsters that looked like salted fish 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 before, she was not afraid of such little monsters.
However, Ji Qiu obviously wanted to show more things related to the monster time to most of the "human" readers, so he drew out everything that happened to Faning during this period.
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 number increases. So the battle scene looks pretty good, and it also introduces a lot of things related to Taoist priests to readers.
Fanning's sect was one of the most powerful sects, so the incident that happened to them some time ago was still very shocking to the humans. It was not just a matter of a sect being slaughtered. For humans, it was like a slap in the face of the Taoists. 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 he felt that he was becoming more and more silent...
This plot has inexplicably caused Fanning to gain a lot of fans from mothers.
Originally, Fanning was a hot-blooded person, but recently he may have been hit hard one after another, so he started to become taciturn. The original text of the comic says: Sometimes, he can't say a word all day, and his eyes seem to be worried, always covered with a thin layer of black mist.
Such a temperament can easily turn out to be gloomy, but Fanning's decent baby face turned this feeling from gloomy to mostly melancholy.
The feeling given by the second volume changed, as if Ichigo Kurosaki was drawn in a rustic and cute manner at the beginning, but started to develop in a cool style later on, and the painter's style became more and more handsome. In the late stage, if you take out the photo of Ichigo Kurosaki and compare it with the early ones, you can't tell that it is the same person at all.
Besides, it is quite simple for a painter 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 being taught about the purpose of this thing.
It is said that this was something used during the war that year. It could cover the entire city 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 that the blue light behind her was disgusting. 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 the Salted Fish Monster..."
"Which one?" Tang Shi, who was standing next to him, turned around and took a look, speechless, "Boss, if you don't know it, don't talk nonsense. This is 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 there is still half a month. After the exams, it will not be far from the Chinese New Year.
During the Chinese New Year last year, Yuan Yuanyuan bought a bag of frozen dumplings by herself and didn’t even have time to make them. This year, she wanted to make a good dumpling meal and 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.
Yesterday, Yuan Yuanyuan spent a whole day browsing the website set up by the students. It was only after a day that Yuan Yuanyuan realized that these students are really amazing.
There was no taboo in their discussion of anything, from the analysis of the strength of the big monsters so far to the analysis of the power of the Taoists. They could be described as a group of little Sherlock Holmes.
There are a lot of things on the website, from discussions on the latest British and American dramas to homework sharing. It can be seen that these monster students are quite up-to-date and not at all rigid like the old monsters.
You know, monsters of Sister Li's age can no longer accept new things like mobile phones. I guess the only monsters who can accept this thing are those in the larval area.
Seriously speaking... 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 them were requested by Qiu Ling and Tang Shi. Sometimes they would even ask Yuan Yuanyuan to watch it together.
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 them would have noticed 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 rules of the website are that you cannot introduce outsiders, nor can you repost it on other websites or social platforms. It is said that a monster has cast a curse on this website. Violators will be in bad luck.
If it weren't for these rules, Yuan Yuanyuan wondered if the two of them would have shared this video on social networking sites, with a hundred words of emotional expression...
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 expressing their sincere feelings about how difficult it was to learn, she wouldn't have realized how difficult it was to learn.
Even now, she was confused by this difficult concept.
Looking at the Tang poems being reviewed over there, 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 leaf that looked a little yellow, covered with golden patterns, and looked very mysterious.
"What is this?" Yuan Yuanyuan came over and picked up another leaf with black patterns and flipped through it with interest. She saw five or six leaves like this in the Tang poetry section.
"The one I have is a book about how to break a curse. It was written by my idol Fang Yingzi. The one you have now is a book on tricks. I can't understand it, so I have decided to give up." Tang Shi said.
"So what do you usually learn in class?"
Yuan Yuanyuan turned over the leaf with the black pattern and probed her magic power into it to take a look. Qiu Ling looked at the two of them curiously.
Even though she also has spiritual powers, she still cannot read the monster book, so she can only watch helplessly.
Yuan Yuanyuan probed her magic power in, looked at the things inside, and frowned when she saw the first line.
Those who have learned this book can go to heaven and earth and treat thousands of troops as nothing.
This sentence... This sentence looks familiar.
Yuan Yuanyuan inexplicably recalled the magic secret on the blood jade.
This... feels a bit like déjà vu.
It's not that she is sensitive. There are similar words in the blood jade, but this one is much more domineering than this one. It can go to heaven and earth and is omnipotent.
"It's just a bunch of random tricks." Tang Shi shook his pen, a little out of words. "It's a famous book, a universal textbook on tricks nowadays. Monsters in recent decades have learned this, but I think you may be too old to learn this... We have been learning this, but I really don't know tricks. I haven't passed the tricks exam since I entered junior high school."
Yuan Yuanyuan flipped through the book and felt more and more familiar with it. Many things in it had something in common with the Blood Jade Magic. However, the Blood Jade Magic was not entirely about tricks. There were also many magics that were frontal attacks.
Every word and sentence in this book can be described as "insidious, cruel and vicious."
It's simply... like a book that extracts all the sinister magic in the Blood Jade Demon Art, summarizes it, and sublimates it.
Each of its magic tricks is a complete sorcery, covering everything, such as illusion techniques, charm techniques, assassination techniques... Yuan Yuanyuan Lianlian was amazed by the sinister ones, while Yuan Yuanyuan Lianlian felt her scalp tingling because of the poison.
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 looked up and said a little confused. "It's not written in the book? There is only a date at the back, and the author didn't leave his name. I don't know if you ask me."
Yuan Yuanyuan turned to the last page and looked at the date and signature. As the Tang poem said, there was a small mark and two lines of small Arabic numerals where the signature would usually be filled in.
17”
Yuan Yuanyuan's hand suddenly paused.
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 felt an inexplicable chill in her palms.
…
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 Yuan Yuanyuan who was in a trance for a long time. When Yuan Yuanyuan finally came to her senses, he asked, "Can you help me with my tricks? You are a big monster, so you must be better at tricks than my dad, right?"
