Chapter 3 A man who eats seven bowls of beef noodles for one meal

After a while, Su Yu slowly woke up.

There was darkness before my eyes.
Mountains, peach trees, women,

All gone.

However, the image of the woman has already appeared in my mind.

It seems to be engraved deep in the consciousness and cannot be erased.

At the same time, there was a rush of air in his chest, making him feel suffocated.

Then, the scroll of the Demonic Record appeared before his eyes again.

subconsciously,

He stretched out his right hand, used his finger as a pen, dipped his finger into the blood of the mandrill, and painted on the cover of the Monster Record that was unfolded in the air.

The wrist swivels, the brush flies,
In less than a moment, a portrait of a woman appeared on the paper.

The deep red blood painted the red clothes like fire.

The dark red lines outline the curves of the body, and the free and easy remaining ink makes the clothes flutter.

The beautiful eyes are lively and charming, so lifelike!
The only shortcoming is that Su Yu only drew one.

The long green tail flutters in the air,
Like a cluster of blue clouds, rising straight into the sky.

Su Yu originally wanted to draw all the nine tails.
But after drawing this green tail, he felt that his whole arm was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and his mind was blank!
This last stroke seemed to have drained all his energy!

He looked up at the Demonic Record hanging in the air.

However, the woman on the cover looked the same as the one seen in the illusion, except that she was missing the eight long tails behind her.

Moreover, the woman's face was still blurry, as if shrouded in mist.

The corpse painter paints for the demon slayer, and each painting requires him to concentrate and think, which consumes a lot of energy.

No corpse painter has ever been able to paint two pictures at once.

The senior demon painters in the Demon Slaying Division do not need the blood of demons to paint. They can use cinnabar or ordinary brushes and ink to draw souls onto paper. However, they can only draw one picture of a demon soul at a time.

Fortunately, Su Yu had just taken the beast blood pill, and his physical strength and willpower were stronger than ordinary people.

Even so, after finishing a painting of a demon soul, he was exhausted.

The Record of Demonic Behavior was still hanging in the air, with fluorescent light flickering on the pages, shrouded in a kind of weird and spiritual aura.

Suddenly, a peach branch on the peach tree behind the woman swayed and flickered.

Su Yu thought he was dazzled, so he rubbed his eyes and looked carefully.

But then a red light appeared on the peach branch.

Then, a red light flew out from the painting and fell into his hands.

It turned out to be a dark-colored, antique peach wood sword!
A scarlet letter appeared before his eyes again:

[The Taoshan Wooden Sword is made of peach wood from the ancient Taoshan Mountain. It has the power to kill ghosts and exorcise evil spirits! ]

[You can use what you have obtained from the Monster Record to turn it into a magical weapon! ]

The message was fleeting.

Su Yu was shocked again.

Now it seems that I can use the painting of monsters to enter their souls and get rewards in the Monster Record.

Since this Taoshan wooden sword has the power to kill ghosts and exorcise evil spirits, he can carry it with him for self-defense.

Next time when you encounter a monster like a mandrill, it will be much easier to deal with it.

It’s a pity that he only got the wooden sword but not the sword manual or anything like that.

However, as long as you continue to draw corpses, you should get rewards.

Thinking of this, he hid the Taoshan wooden sword behind his back, then picked up the mandrill soul painting and turned to the door.

After knocking three times, two short and one long, the door opened. Standing outside the door was a man in a black robe with a stern expression.

This person's name is Qu Fengshan, and he is the fifth-level demon slayer who slayed the demon today.

Seeing Su Yu coming out, Qu Fengshan asked in a cold voice:
"Did you finish the painting?"

Su Yu nodded and placed the mandrill soul painting in front of Qu Fengshan.

Qu Fengshan, who was as thin as a bamboo, took the soul painting, looked at it carefully, nodded, and glanced at Su Yu:
"It took me so long to draw, I thought something had happened!"

How could he know that the original Su Yu had already been killed by a demon spirit in the Demon-Slaying Hall.

At this time, Su Yu has already lived two lives!
Su Yu sighed:

"I was hit by a demon spirit and almost didn't finish it."

Qu Fengshan just nodded lightly, then turned around and left without even looking at Su Yu.

Even if a corpse painter died, it was nothing in the eyes of the demon slayer.

Every year, the Demon Slaying Division selects many disabled young men from all over the country, so there is never a shortage of people who can paint corpses.

The only more valuable one is the demon slayer.

If Su Yu dies in there, at most another corpse painter will go in to replace him.

If all the corpse painters are unable to lead the souls into the paintings, the demon slayer will have to use force to kill the demon soul.

Su Yu glanced at the demon slayer's back, then turned and walked in another direction.

Now he is just an insignificant existence in the Demon Slaying Bureau, no wonder people don’t care about his life or death.

If you want to improve yourself, you have to keep painting.

Today, I just painted a picture of a mandrill soul and obtained a beast blood pill. My physical strength and speed have been greatly improved.

If you continue to lead souls into paintings and expand the scenes in the Monster Record, there will definitely be more rewards.

However, now is not the time to be impatient.

After creating two soul paintings in a row, he was exhausted and urgently needed to replenish his strength.

He walked quickly out of the Demon Slaying Bureau and came to the street.

The night is deep and the lights on the streets of Chang'an are coming on.

Every time the Demon Slaying Division slays a demon soul, it always starts at 15:30 noon.

This time, Su Yu painted for almost half a day!
He glanced at the sky in the chilly night wind, sighed softly, and turned to walk towards the noodle shop in the distance.

"Boss, give me one... five bowls of beef noodles!"

Usually after Su Yu finishes painting soul paintings, he will have a bowl of beef noodles in this noodle restaurant.

But today he felt empty inside, as if after painting two soul paintings, his entire body had been hollowed out and needed a lot of food to fill it up.

woohoo...

In a moment, five bowls of beef noodles were eaten.

After eating five bowls of beef noodles, he felt strong again and his energy and spirit returned to him.

But, my stomach still seems not full...

In the surprised eyes of the noodle shop owner, Su Yu raised his hand again:

"Two more bowls!"

After putting his hand down, he touched the purse at his waist.

The few coins in his purse made him feel a little guilty.

It seems that I need to find a way to get some money.

I ate seven bowls of beef noodles for this meal...

A monthly salary of one or two taels of silver might not be enough for him to eat!
