Chapter 45 After the Disaster
With the death of the mist demon in Su Heng's hands, the horrific disaster it caused was finally over.
The clouds have passed and the rain has passed, and the golden sunshine shines again in the cold and miserable city.
From the first wisp of fog lingering in the streets and alleys of Changqing County to the time when the weather clears after the rain, it only takes about five days at best.
But it feels like a world away.
Before the fog filled the air, Changqing County was a large county with a population of more than 100,000.
But after the fog dispersed and this incident was over, nearly half of the population in Changqing County died, leaving only less than 60,000 people.
The city is full of crying old people and children, as well as all kinds of men and women with miserable and dull faces, who have fallen into numbness. White silk threads are hung in many places. Even poor people who have no money to buy standard white silk threads will pull out a piece of white cloth and hang it outside as part of a funeral.
A large number of people died, coupled with extreme fear, leading to a loss of order.
A large number of people raped, looted, and frantically vented their desires.
Fortunately, Su Heng had foreseen it and took action in time to suppress it. He cut off the limbs of the gangsters who took the opportunity to cause trouble, made them into human stakes, and hung them in the square in the center of the city. Then a large amount of grain was taken from the warehouses of the two big families, the Xue family and the He family, and distributed to the remaining victims.
Changqing County has finally restored some order.
but……
Even so, it is impossible for Changqing County to return to its former prosperity. A large number of people have emigrated, and the rest are in panic. The popularity of this city will only become less and less, and it may even become a ghost town completely.
Crunch!
The carriage stopped at the gate of Su Mansion.
Su Heng, who walked around outside, lowered his head and left the car.
He walked straight through the door, crossed the nave, passed through corridors and arches one after another, and soon entered an antique, brightly lit study room that exuded the distant smell of sandalwood.
On the precious golden nanmu desk in the middle of the study, a piece of rice paper is spread out, and Xiao Qing reaches out to study ink.
Black ink sticks, plain white fingers.
The swishing sound of friction came rhythmically.
Next to Xiao Qing, Su Li had long hair disheveled and was holding a writing brush in her hand, writing and drawing on the rice paper spread out. Sometimes he raised his pen and frowned, lost in thought. Su Heng stood aside and watched silently, without disturbing or making any sound.
Finally, after a while.
Su Li placed the brush on the blue and white porcelain pen holder aside.
He checked the letter he had just written, then raised his hand and handed it to Su Heng.
"What happened in Changqing County is somewhat urgent, so I need to write a letter first to give a brief summary of the situation here. Do you think it's okay to write like this?" Su Li explained softly.
Su Heng reached out and took it, his eyes passing over the letter.
This letter obviously took many considerations to conceal part of Su Heng's true strength.
The reason why this crisis was solved was that there was a conflict between the mist demon and the people from the Fengmo family. Both sides suffered losses, and they were picking up the slack outside.
Su Heng knew that this was Su Li's desire to protect himself.
but……
"Does it need to be modified somewhere?" Seeing his brows frowning slightly, Su Li couldn't help but ask again.
"What do you think of the character of Suppressing Demon Sidusi, your master?" Su Heng did not answer, but suddenly asked an unrelated question.
"Naturally he is a man of integrity and extremely reliable."
Although Su Li was surprised when he heard Su Heng suddenly talking about his master, he still looked serious and explained seriously, "My master Li Daoxuan, known as the Golden Eyed Ape King, is now over a hundred years old. Can the Demon-Suppressing Division It is all thanks to his own efforts to keep us from falling."
"Trying to support it?" Su Heng was surprised.
"Ah..." Su Li whispered, knowing that she had accidentally let slip just now, she stretched out her hand to cover her mouth.
Su Heng stretched out his hand to pull out a chair and sat down with his legs crossed. "Can you tell me what's going on?"
Su Li and Xiao Qing looked at each other.
"Although you are not from the Demon Suppressing Division, these things are not particularly confidential, so there is no harm in telling you." Su Li coughed twice and said seriously, "I told you about the aristocratic family, the aristocratic family, the demon, Together with the Demon Suppressing Division, they are the three major forces in Baihua County.”
"More than a hundred years ago, when the previous Dusi of the Suppressing Demon Division was still there, the Suppressing Demon Division was the strongest. The establishment of the Demon Suppressing Tower even suppressed aristocratic families and demons from coming forward. So that in the eyes of ordinary people, demons gradually became Become a legend."
"But something happened. The previous commander of the Demon Suppressing Division disappeared for no reason."
"The person who will replace him is the current Dusi, my master, the Golden Eyed Monkey King Li Daoxuan. My master is naturally very strong, but the previous Dusi was really amazing. In comparison, there are still There is a big gap. In addition, there is a problem with the Demon Suppression Tower..."
"Ahem!" Xiao Qing coughed expressionlessly on the side, interrupting the conversation between Su Heng and Su Li.
Regarding the Demon Suppression Tower, it is obviously confidential.
Su Li spread her hands, with a helpless expression on her face, and stopped talking. The atmosphere fell into silence for a while.
"To put it simply, the power of the Demon Suppressing Division has weakened, so that some virtues are no longer suitable." Su Hengdao.
"Although it sounds a little harsh to say it, it's basically the same."
Su Li nodded, "The importance of demons to warriors is self-evident. The flesh and blood of demons can be used to improve cultivation and assist breakthroughs. And the demon corpses left behind after the death of demons, if they can be successfully integrated, can even change fate. There are a large number of demons imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Tower, so it is naturally easy to arouse covetousness."
"What is the method of changing fate?" Su Heng raised his head with curiosity on his face.
"The talent of a warrior is mainly reflected in two aspects, bone structure and comprehension." Su Li explained simply, "And fusing with a demon skeleton can directly improve the bone structure, so that the warrior's strength can undergo earth-shaking changes in a short period of time.
In addition to improving the bone structure, you can also obtain some of the demon's innate magical powers.
Most importantly, fusing with a demon skeleton can prolong life. Some old warriors have returned to their peak overnight because of the successful fusion of demon skeletons."
"The value of the demon skeleton is really huge and difficult to estimate..." Su Heng said in surprise, "According to your theory, if you keep hunting demons and fusing with demon skeletons, wouldn't you be able to live forever directly?"
"That's what you said, but it's actually very difficult." Su Li explained, "First of all, fusing with the demon skeleton will make you immortal. The skeleton needs to be cut open and implanted into specific internal organs, which is a very risky process. Secondly, the extreme desires of the demons remain in the demon skeleton. The fusion process is equivalent to putting your mind in hell, and it is easy to lose control and go crazy. "
"Moreover, even if you persist and the fusion is successful, it does not mean the end. In the eternal time in the future, the demon skeleton will continue to exert influence on the mind and body, and it is even possible to be possessed by the demon skeleton and transformed into a new demon. "
Su Li looked out the window with a dim gaze: "In the Demon Tower of Baihua County, there are not only demons imprisoned, but also many warriors who lost control and went crazy after merging with demon skeletons, including some elders of the family. "
