Chapter 1: Patrol Captain Chen Yuan (with a twist) night, heavy rain, Wilderness Crossing, Half of the dilapidated post station collapsed and was about to fall in the wind and rain. There was a bonfire inside, and the crackling sound of firecrackers dispelled the coldness of the wilderness. Beside the fire, there was an old man in a straw raincoat, holding a knife. A girl of about six or seven years old was sleeping soundly on his knees. The old man lowered his head, looked at the little girl in his arms, and gently stroked the girl's pink face with his dry hands. The body is slightly bent. Eyebrows and eyes are hidden in the shadow of the bamboo hat
In the flickering silhouette of the fire, the old man's reflection was stretched out very long, as if there was a crack. Just then, a clear bell sound came from far away. The sound of the bell seemed to wake the girl. She wiped her eyes and called out dazedly, "Grandpa, where are we?" The old man in the straw raincoat now stood up straight, raised his head, and looked out the door with his eyes slightly white. Soon, the sound of bells came closer. The broken door was broken open. The cold wind blew up rain and fog, bending the fire. A shepherd in coarse clothes and a straw hat came in, driving a flock of sheep in the rain. "Anyone here? What a coincidence. The spring rain is coming down hard. I need a place to hide from the rain." The shepherd had a hunched back, a thin body, narrow eyebrows, and a stick in his hand. He patted the rain off his clothes, grinned with a mouthful of rotten teeth, and started talking to the old man with a shy smile. "I need your help. My sheep has been caught in the rain and is very cold. If it breaks, my master will probably break my old bones." The old man in the straw raincoat said nothing, but took a piece of firewood from the fire and threw it over. The shepherd thanked him, drove the sheep to a corner, made a circle, and lit a fire. And the sheep were obedient and didn't even make a sound. The little girl beside the old man was watching all this curiously. Suddenly, she shook the old man's arm and said in a childish voice: "Grandpa, look, the sheep is crying!" The girl pointed to a sheep in the flock. The dirty white fur was covered with hideous whip marks, and the sheep's eyes were looking in the direction of the two people, and tears were actually flowing from its eyes.
The old man in the straw raincoat looked over. But the shepherd's face suddenly turned stern, and he hit the sheep hard with a stick. "Behave yourself, you bastard." After saying this, the shepherd grinned and looked at the girl with a smile: "It's okay. Why would a sheep cry? You must have seen it wrong, little kid. Don't scare an old man like me in this remote place." Under the flickering firelight, the corners of his mouth seemed exaggeratedly upturned. The girl was so scared that she burrowed into the arms of the old man in the straw raincoat. The old man hugged the girl and asked her to turn her head away. He said in a sharp voice, "This is my granddaughter. The child is just talking nonsense." The shepherd just grinned. "Oh, is it so?" "How come you and your grandson are here in this desolate forest?" Then he lowered his voice and said, "I advise you, the rain has stopped, leave quickly." The old man listened and his voice sank: "why?" "Because there was a demon in this area not long ago. There were beasts that kidnapped children and ate their hearts, livers and brains when they got to the place." The shepherd's voice suddenly became deep. "Little kid, you better be careful!" The girl was so scared that she started crying and called for her grandpa. The knife in the old man's straw raincoat trembled, and he stared at the grinning shepherd. "Boom" A flash of lightning cut through the rain. The next second, the shepherd's face became wrinkled, as if something was about to come out of it. The dry back became straight, and the bones made a crackling sound like firecrackers. In a flash, he stretched out his hand and sucked through the air towards the opposite side. The frightened girl fell into his hands crying. Then he fell asleep. Soon, the shepherd boy who was hunched and skinny just now turned into a handsome young man with black hair and dark eyes. The old man in the straw raincoat looked at this scene with a twisted and ferocious expression. Sharp gray hairs grew on his face, and he bared his teeth at the young man. "Who are you?" "Patrol on behalf of God, cut down mountains and destroy temples!" Chen Yuan gently put the girl aside, and his words fell with the thunder in the sky. "Patrol Captain!" The twisted old man in the straw raincoat seemed to have heard something fearful and let out a strange squeak.
He rolled the fire in front of him towards Chen Yuan. "Swoosh". Break out of the window! Looking again, there were only a few pieces of clothing left. “Painting a tiger but looking like a dog” Chen Yuan snorted coldly, and with a flick of his sleeve, sparks like dragons flew into his sleeves in an instant. Then he stepped forward and entered the vast rain and fog. After a while, a sharp scream was heard by the Chunchao River. A gray-haired mandrill had its chest pierced by a fist, and was completely dead. This thing looks ferocious, likes to eat resentment, is good at changing its form to seduce people's hearts, and turns into someone close to you. Then, when people are in disbelief and have the deepest resentment, it eats people's hearts, livers, and brains, especially children's. Chen Yuan retracted his fist, and with a shock of his Qi, the dark green blood on his hand instantly dissipated. At this moment, the sound of Taoism like a huge bell rang in my mind. "Kill a first-level mandrill, luck point +1" "Main quest: Complete 100 Demons at 10% completion, obtain the magical power [Mind's Eye]" "Mind's Eye: One of the Five Eyes and Six Supernatural Powers, it can see through illusions and can be practiced" After he finished speaking, Chen Yuan closed his eyes. In the mud ball, there is a black and gold dragon-patterned token towering like a mountain, engraved with mountains, rivers, grass, flying insects and running animals. The token shook, birds and beasts cried out, and a white mist swept up and went straight into the eyes. A feeling of coolness gradually penetrates into my eyes. After a while, when the chill faded away, Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes. A gleam of light gathered in his eyes. The night seemed as bright as day in his eyes, and every detail of the grass, rocks and leaves around him was clearly visible. As he gazed intently, even the raindrops falling from the sky seemed to be magnified and slowed down in his eyes. He reached out, picked up a leaf, and threw it. A water drop was split into two in mid-air. "nice one!" Chen Yuan finally laughed. He picked up the body of the mandrill, which was taller than him, with one hand and turned back. When I entered the house, the sheep were still there.
But there seems to be some restlessness. When the sheep saw Chen Yuan walking in carrying the mandrill's corpse, their eyes were filled with fear. He immediately calmed down. Chen Yuan threw the mandrill's body into the fire. In an instant, the flames rose like a raging fire, and rushed straight to the roof. Then he looked at the sheep and watched them silently. When the sheep could no longer bear the fear, they knelt down. Chen Yuan recited a mantra. I saw the sheep rolling on the ground. His true identity was revealed immediately. There are wild boars, bobcats, foxes, squirrels None of them succeeded. "Go!" Chen Yuan said. Immediately, these small animals turned into birds and beasts and dispersed. These are his contracted demons. The basic team of the mountain patrol captain. To put it simply, it is eyeliner. With his current abilities, he can only deal with these insignificant monsters. Of course, none of it was voluntary. But they have no choice. They are not of my race, and they fear my power but not my virtue. Otherwise, how could he patrol such a vast mountain and river? The 800-li Langdang Mountain is all under his jurisdiction! I’ve published a new book. I haven’t written for a long time, so I’m a little nervous. I hope everyone can support me! (End of this chapter)
