Chapter 156 Demon

The sons of noble families in the world learn the six arts of a gentleman from a young age, and also dabble in poetry and painting.

Although the Pei family has been in decline in recent generations, Pei Rong has been in the army since he was a child and is proficient in martial arts. Although he is not very proficient in poetry and painting, he can still draw a picture.

Lu Shaoling quickly flipped through his storage ring. After a moment, he spread his hands to Jiang Lisheng, "Junior Sister Jiang, I don't have any paper or pen from the mortal world."

Should I stop and buy it?
"I have." When Jiang Lisheng first started practicing calligraphy, she used mortal pens, ink, paper and inkstone. She had plenty of them in her storage ring, so she took them out one by one and spread them out in front of Pei Rong.

Lu Shaoling was surprised, "Junior Sister Jiang, how come you have so many?"

Jiang Lisheng explained to him, "I use it to practice calligraphy."

Lu Shaoling didn’t understand. What kind of characters would a cultivator practice?

Jiang Lisheng coughed and said embarrassedly: "I have a lot of hobbies, such as calligraphy, drawing talismans, etc. I am interested in them all."

Lu Shaoling suddenly realized, yes, he had heard that Qingxu's Jiang Lisheng was said to know everything but be proficient in nothing. She couldn't practice any kind of Tao well, and often used the Tao she was not proficient in to harm her fellow disciples in the sect. That's how she got her reputation as a waste.

Pei Rong suppressed his pain and hatred, picked up the pen, and quickly painted the scene in his mind at that time, stroke by stroke.

Jiang Lisheng looked at the things in the painting. It was a ball of black fog, and only the upper body could be seen. The lower body was hidden in the thick black fog and could not be seen clearly. Even if he could see the upper body, he could not see the appearance clearly. It was very blurry. Everything was covered in the black fog, but the murderous aura could be felt through the paper.

Lu Shaoling stared at it for a long time and shook his head, "I still don't know this."

Jiang Lisheng didn't recognize it either. She stood up with the painting in her hand and said, "I'll let Shan Gao take a look."

Lu Shaoling wondered, "Your pet, is it okay?"

“It has lived for tens of thousands of years.”

When Lu Shaoling heard this, he also stood up with her.

Jiang Lisheng looked around and found Shan Gao, who had been sleeping soundly in the corner after getting off the Cloud Shuttle. He called out to wake him up, "Hey, wake up, come and take a look. Do you recognize this thing?"

Shan Gao was sleeping soundly, and was somewhat unhappy about being woken up. With a dazed head, he opened his eyes with great effort to look at the painting that Jiang Lisheng handed to him, muttering, "What is this? It looks weird."

When Jiang Lisheng heard it, he knew it didn't recognize it either, so he took the painting back and said, "You useless piece of shit, I wasted my time looking for you."

She turned and left.

Shan Gao didn't care about being scolded by her, and continued to lie down. Just as he was about to close his eyes, he suddenly woke up and stood up, "Wait, let me take a look."

Jiang Lisheng turned around and spread out the painting to show it.

Shan Gao shook his fur, opened his eyes wide, stared at it for a while, and was shocked, "This is a demon."

Jiang Lisheng was stunned, "Demon?"

Lu Shaoling blurted out: "Didn't the demon disappear?"

In ancient times, six realms coexisted, including gods, demons, immortals, monsters, humans, and ghosts. However, after the great war between gods and demons, the gods fell, the monsters dissipated, and the gods and monsters disappeared from heaven and earth. In the universe, there is no more realm of gods and demons. The immortals and monsters were also seriously injured. Many high-level techniques of the immortal sects were destroyed, and only a few remained. There were almost no true immortals, and it was difficult for monsters to cultivate into human form. The thunderstorms were heavier than the last, and the human world became completely weak. The ghost world was afraid of light and dared not easily leave the gates of hell.

How can there be demons nowadays?

Jiang Lisheng looked at Shan Gao, "Are you sure? This is what a demon looks like? Is this thing that looks like a demon or a ghost a demon?"

"It has no limbs, is pitch black, and exudes a strong murderous aura. If it's not a demon, then what is it?" Shan Gao asked.

Jiang Lisheng was stunned by the question. She had never seen a demon and didn't know what a demon looked like, but did a demon look like this?

Lu Shaoling was frightened, "No way? Is it really a demon? Does a demon look like this?" Shan Gao was also unsure about the two people's questions, "Really?" It scratched its big head with its claws, "Demons can change in a thousand ways, but this dark and thick murderous aura is the characteristic of demons."

"There are ghosts too." Jiang Li said, "Evil ghosts."

"That's different. Don't Yinsha ghosts have sharp teeth? Besides, Yinsha ghosts don't have such strong black evil." Shan Gao sat down, confused himself, "How can there be demons? In ancient times, didn't they all perish together and dissipate into the world?"

"Is it possible that he was born naturally and came back to life after tens of thousands of years?" Jiang Lisheng asked.

Shan Gao looked at her and said, "How would I know that?"

Lu Shaoling immediately said, "Quickly report to Uncle Yu. If it is really a demon, we can't deal with it at all."

Jiang Lisheng nodded, "Then Senior Brother Lu, go and call for help."

Lu Shaoling hurried there immediately, his steps looking nervous and untidy.

Pei Rong asked: "If it is a demon, why did he only destroy my Pei family?"

Jiang Lisheng also found it incredible and puzzled, "Yeah, what does your Pei family have?"

Is it that people are easy to kill? But if the demon harms the people, shouldn't the whole city be harmed? Why only target the Pei family? And even leave Pei Rong alive.

She asked, "What was on your body that scared it? Look for it quickly. Didn't you say it wanted to attack you, but then it saw something and retreated?"

Pei Rong shook his head, "I've searched everywhere on my body, but there's nothing."

"Think about it carefully. When Yun Wang rescued you, you were covered in wounds. Later, the wounds rotted away, leaving no healthy area on your body. When I rescued you, you were no longer in human form." Jiang Lisheng reminded him, "The things you brought with you were either lost after you were injured, or were also corroded by the poison."

Pei Rong recalled: "There was a military token made of black iron, a purse that my mother sewed for me, which contained a few taels of silver, and a jade pendant, which had already broken into pieces by then."

He touched his body and said, "Now it's all gone."

"Every officer like you should have a military token. It's made of black iron, so it shouldn't scare it. The purse your mother made for you is an ordinary item, right?"

"It's ordinary brocade fabric."

Jiang Lisheng was also confused and looked at him, "Then is there anything special about you?"

Pei Rong shook his head.

Jiang Lisheng took the portrait and looked at it again, but still couldn't figure it out. "Let's go back to the tea room first and see what Uncle Chu and Uncle Yu have to say."

Pei Rong nodded.

The two returned to the tea room. Shan Gao was no longer asleep and followed them into the tea room, wagging his tail.

Chu Bianqiu and Yu Congrong arrived very quickly, and with them came Xi Jili. Chu Bianqiu and Yu Congrong walked in a hurry. If a demon really appeared, it would be a major event that would shake the entire world of immortal cultivation.

Jiang Lisheng placed the portrait on the table for the two to see.

Chu Bitumen was unsure, "Is this the devil?"

Yu Congrong was not sure either. "All the ancient books on gods and demons that have been preserved are sealed in the Kunlun Forbidden Land. I have never seen them."

After all, the ancient times are too long ago.

Monthly ticket, huh?
