Celestial Master [entertainment circle]

After Lang Xingjun died, nothing was left behind. When a gust of wind blew by, everything about him turned into smoke and dust in the air and disappeared.

There was a dead silence in the air.

Luo Shifang looked up at the red sky without any waves, with complicated emotions in his eyes. After a while, he finally let out a breath of relief.

He didn't know what the other party's words and smiles meant before he died.

But at least, death frees the other party from the quagmire of feelings.

He glanced at the remaining black ash on the ground, lowered his eyes and said: "Lang Xingjun, I will never see you again."

"However, what is the sound of fighting that I heard?"

At that time, because he was seriously injured, his consciousness was already blurred, and he could only vaguely feel that Lang Xingjun had a dispute with a person who was extremely powerful, but disappeared after he woke up.

Putting this question aside for now, he thought to himself again and said:

"So...how should I go back now?"

Perhaps because of the special region, there is no breath of life here, and wherever you look, it is all black soil desert.

Luo Shifang remembered that he fell from mid-air, but because he destroyed the eyes of the formation, the passage from the human world to the spiritual world only lasted for a moment. Disappeared.

So, after cutting off the channel for the spirit world to invade the human world, he himself faced an embarrassing situation - he couldn't go back!

"You want to go back, in the short term, it's actually not difficult."

Suddenly, the voice of the demon god Asmodeus rang in Luo Shifang's ears.

"Twenty kilometers to the south, there is a tree of human flesh, which itself is a cursed plant, but it has magical powers. It uses the flesh made of pure and pure aura, the branches full of evil curses, and contains the power of vitality. If you draw a three-pointed array at the place where you landed, you can temporarily break through the space and enter the demon world of the island country. However, your coordinates can only be determined when the passage between the demon world and the human world is opened. , otherwise you will lose your way.”

Luo Shifang knew that he was racing against time, so with a flap of his wings, he flew into the sky, looking for a way to determine the approximate location.

The voice of the demon god Asmodeus continued: "The south is the direction your current position is facing away from."

Luo Shifang nodded, and an afterimage flashed across the air.

It wasn't until this moment that he expressed his doubts.

"Why can I hear your voice?"

Demon God Asmodeus laughed softly: "You are currently located in the frontier desert between the demon world and the spirit world. This desert was jointly opened up by several of us demon gods to divide the demon world and the spirit world, so my magic power can cover this area. area, get in touch with you."

Immediately afterwards, his voice was a little seductive again.

"Although the Demon Realm is not as technologically advanced as the Human Realm, it still has a different scene. If you find it troublesome to return to the Human Realm, why don't you stay here? I will give you a castle so that you can become a member of my demon general and enjoy the best experience." Treatment. If any demon is summoned in the future, you can return to the human world immediately... By the way, since the beginning of the [-]th century AD, more and more people have summoned demons."

Luo Shifang thanked the demon god Asmodeus for his kindness, and refused: "I still don't want to give up my human blood and identity."

The meaning of the other party is obvious. Demon General is not only a title, but also a blood identity. As long as he voluntarily and completely merges with the demon body, he can do this.

"No one has ever dared to reject me so many times, you are the only one." Demon God Asmodeus said in a secretive way, "I will not force you, you will always see clearly what you want in your heart in the future."

Luo Shifang pondered for a moment: "Then I can ask you, during my coma period, who shot Lang Xingjun?"

Demon God Asmodeus said leisurely: "It's the person in power of the World-Defying Sect...and also someone you are familiar with but not familiar with. I know the truth, but I can't tell you too much."

Luo Shi said without changing his face: "Do I have to pay any price?"

"No, as much as I want to say 'I'll tell you the answer if you'll be by my side,' I can't. You just can't know the truth, that's all."

Demon God Asmodeus had a bit of emotion in his tone.

"This world is like this. The more powerful an existence is, the more constraints it receives. This is to maintain the most basic balance. Only balance can make a system run stably and permanently. My power is indeed true knowledge, and I have the right to Knowing the truth does not mean that I can reveal the truth at will. The secret you want to know is like a pothole on the side of the road. It seems simple, but its depth may reach the core of the earth."

Luo Shifang blinked: "It seems very complicated."

The demon god Asmodeus taught: "It is indeed very complicated. It is like you use the established law to judge a person who has taken a loophole. You are within the rules, but the other party has done something beyond the rules. Then, even if you No matter how righteous the words are, they will not be able to give the other party a verdict."

Luo Shifang nodded with a vague understanding.

He understands the truth, but he can't put the things he is currently facing into it.

The only thing he can be sure of is that Mr. Lang Xing's conspiracy is just the tip of the iceberg, and there is a more terrifying truth that has not yet surfaced, and even a demon god has to succumb to restraint, unable to speak out.

Demon God Asmodeus carried a hint of solemnity in his tone: "Words have power, especially for me, every word must conform to the rules. I have explained it to you to the best of my ability. The rest is up to you to think on your own... It is understandable that you are good at divination."

Luo Shifang nodded, completely understandable.

Divination is equivalent to spying on the secrets of heaven, it is going against the sky, if you get good results, it’s fine, if the feedback is karmic results, then people will be useless...Of course, this is only for those who are really capable, nonsense Jianghu Except liars.

Half an hour later, a plant with its teeth and claws appeared at the end of his sight.

This plant is not particularly tall, only two and a half meters at best, with a pair of drooping eyes and mouth faintly growing on the trunk, forming a crying face, and the whole body is covered with black air visible to the naked eye.

There are no fruits on the tree trunk, but dozens of mummified heads tied with grass ropes.

The heads of these mummies couldn't see clearly what they looked like before they were alive. They moved automatically without wind, and they were crying out in pain at any time.

Luo Shifang's forward movement paused slightly.

If his perception is correct, this tree should have a level four strength...

The demon god Asmodeus chuckled: "The tree of human flesh was planted by another demon god, and we cultivated it together. You have my blessing on you, and he will not attack you. Also, don't judge by appearance It oh, it is a good boy who has never killed anyone and is worthy of pity, as long as you water it, it will become closer."

A good boy who never killed anyone...

Luo Shifang had a strange expression on his face. He took out a spell and used its water spirit power to form a rain cloud.

Due to the thin aura in this desert, it is difficult for the rain clouds to gather the aura of water in the air, so they can only use the power of the spell to rain, and the rain falls sparingly, which can only last for 10 minutes.

"Oh~" the tree of human flesh let out a strange groan, and stretched out its branches, "Thank you~ thank you~"

Luo Shifang: "You're welcome...it can still talk?"

Demon God Asmodeus: "I didn't say it can't talk? You see, it's a polite boy, right? It's as cute as you."

——Is this really a compliment?

Luo Shifang really wanted to look in the mirror and see how similar he was to the tree of human flesh.

"Um, hello. I'm Luo Shifang, can you give me your branches and fruits?"

The trunk of the Human Flesh Tree shook, and with a "snap", two trunks fell down with straw ropes and human heads.

Luo Shifang had a not-so-good guess in his mind, but he immediately reached out to catch the tree trunk.

He felt that the way he was holding the head now must be a serious demon.

Then, seeing the bark on the trunk of the tree of human flesh turn red, he said in a voice so low that it seemed to be dying: "Happy ~ happy ~ (love)"

Luo Shifang was in a mess for a moment.

The demon god Asmodeus said: "Eh? The tree of human flesh is willing to give you two fruits. It seems that it really likes you~ That's right, that withered head is the fruit, because it's a mimic. As long as you peel off the most The shell on the outside is the flesh inside. It tastes like human flesh, very delicious, and even the rare tonic that is priceless in the magic market is of great benefit to ordinary people.”

Luo Shifang: ...

Human flesh?He doesn't want to know yet, appreciate it, but forget it.

Demon God Asmodeus also understood Luo Shifang's concerns, and said in a relaxed tone:

"If you don't like the smell of human flesh, then leave it alone. When it matures a bit, it will taste like cider, which is no different from an apple tree."

Tree of Human Flesh: "No~no~don't~"

Faced with such kindness, Luo Shifang had mixed feelings, but he still thanked him sincerely.

"Thank you for giving me two fruits, but I only need one."

Demon God Asmodeus said: "The tree of human flesh is willing to give you one more fruit, which means it recognizes you very much and is willing to let you plant branches for it. It is a sign of trust. Do you want to disappoint a pure and lovely tree?" the mind of your child?"

"Yes~send~for~you~~"

Tree of Human Flesh: 0A0

It seems that if one is not careful, the love floating out will be broken.

Luo Shifang's kindness was hard to turn down, and at the same time he felt embarrassed.

"What is the method of cultivation? Human meat is not acceptable, but other meats that are available on the market are acceptable."

Demon God Asmodeus: "Although it is called a tree of human flesh, it does not need meat when planting, nor does it need to absorb nutrients from corpses, let alone human flesh and blood. It is actually no different from ordinary plants in the human world. As long as First bury the branches in the soil and wait for 24 hours. After eating the pulp, plant the core. However, when planting, it needs a vast land, coupled with love and care, to make it strong Growth. Temperature, moisture content, etc., are not within the scope of consideration.”

It looks a bit easy to feed.

Luo Shifang felt that he could accept it.

Demon God Asmodeus continued to add: "Because of its docile personality, it never takes the initiative to attack others, but if it is severely injured, it will use the power of the curse to fight back. Because it is a curse, it will not hurt people immediately, overall In fact, it is no different from raising a pet, and it is even more convenient. The personal safety issues you are worried about will not happen. Its branches are very strong, even if ordinary humans use a chainsaw to cut it, it will not Something will happen, at best that person will be unlucky for a year or so."

Luo Shifang looked stunned.

After all, every kind of fruit has its own taste. The tree of human flesh just bears freshly ripe fruits that taste like human beings, plus it has spirituality and can talk, plus it just looks fierce...well, he shouldn't Wear colored glasses to observe each other.

Luo Shifang apologized for the previous faux pas.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. You should be lonely here alone, right?"

Tree of Human Flesh: "No~Relationship~"

Luo Shifang asked Demon God Asmodeus: "Since it has no attack power, why is it planted in such a dangerous environment? There should be some people coveting its fruit?"

"There is no need to worry about this. In the face of a crisis, it can release the power of curse. Once this power is contaminated, it will be very troublesome. The tree of human flesh is a species directly under the demon gods. It is planted here to maintain the desert. peace. There is a huge magic circle set up in this desert, and the tree of human flesh is an important part of it."

The other world is indeed very different from the human world.

After a delay of about two to three minutes, Luo Shi conveniently waved to the tree of human flesh: "Goodbye, I have to go back."

"See you~"

The Tree of Human Flesh shook its branches, looked at Luo Shifang's leaving back with some reluctance, enjoyed the joy brought by the shower, and continued to stay in this desert.

"I always feel a little pitiful." Luo Shifang sighed slightly.

The long wait is not the loneliness that ordinary people can bear.

Demon God Asmodeus liked Luo Shifang's kindness very much, and explained:

"The Human Flesh Tree is an independent race separated from many ogre trees. It is precisely because it does not eat people, is not bloodthirsty, and is not easy to kill. Except for its strange name and shape, it is incompatible with other demon trees, so Only then can we get our preference and survive for a long time. It is suitable for this job, and every once in a while, a demon will come to take care of it, so don't worry about its ownership."

"So that's how it is." Luo Shifang expressed his understanding, "Zifeiyu, An Zhiyu is happy, I am not it, and I don't know if it enjoys the status quo, but it is superfluous."

Demon God Asmodeus: "However, it will be very happy to know your intentions. There are not many demons who will have sincerity for it other than coveting."

After Luo Shifang returned to the original place, he peeled off the two withered human heads, only to find that it was indeed a mimesis so realistic that even medical students could hardly judge the authenticity.

The fruit is the size of an adult's fist and grows on the part of the "human head". It is dark red, but the skin is smooth without wrinkles, a bit like a dyed mango.

One of the fruits was peeled and the pulp, branch and core were separated.

The pulp does have the feeling of muscle tissue when grasped, and the core is small, but it is in the shape of a head. These two points made Luo Shifang stunned for a moment.

It seems that I am doing something bad like "killing and dismembering the body".

As for the smell of the peeled fruit, Luo Shifang sniffed it intentionally, and found that it was a strange mixture of sweet milky scent, fruity scent, and a faint rust smell. This rust smell was not even close to the smell of blood. To a certain extent, it is not really like the taste of human flesh as the demon god Asmodeus said. It can only be said that the "taste" is probably like a fresh and tender boy.

If it is such a fruit, Luo Shifang is not unacceptable after seeing its benefits, but it will take him a while to ignore the terrible mimicry of the husk.

After all, there are not many demons who have successfully entered the human world from the demon world. Except for those very ancient demons, the vast majority of demons have stayed in the demon world and never left the world. How do you know what "human flesh" tastes like? At most it is a legend passed down by word of mouth.

Therefore, the fruit of the tree of human flesh, as the best delicacy in the devil world, has become the beautiful fantasy of most demons for human flesh.

After realizing this, Luo Shifang immediately asked for confirmation, and then got an affirmative answer from Asmodeus. It is said that this statement can also stimulate the economic development of the Demon Realm.

"This soup, as long as it tastes like human blood, will be sold out in a short time; as long as the jewelry is well imitated, say it is human bones, collectors will take the initiative to buy it soon... There is no business management department in the Demon Realm, only There will be a control on the price, even if it is false publicity, it will not be too much control."

——The demon world is also more peaceful than before, and the level of civilization has risen. From barbarism to the establishment of civilization is an inevitable process of life development.

Luo Shifang was eye-opened after listening to some customs and habits of the demon world and knowledge about the human world.

A group of demons born in the past hundred years even believed that human beings are terrifying creatures that are more cunning and greedy than demons, and that they are a kind of gregarious insect race that knows no bottom line than army ants.

At present, the number of human beings on the ground has exceeded 100 billion. Even if the strength of demons is far superior to human beings, if there are too many ants, they can kill elephants.

When such a huge group has mastered the power of science and technology and the protection of the strong, there have been horrifying rumors of many weak demons being brutally killed when they completed the transaction and asked for rewards. It is too much!

Luo Shifang: "...It turns out that the demons are a little afraid of humans, especially the weak demons. The fear and hatred are even worse. I didn't expect this."

Of course, Luo Shifang did not forget to exchange information with the opponent during the period of fiddling with the formation.

It's a pity that this demon god doesn't know much about the spiritual world, after all, the overall relationship is not good, but he still got some general information.

According to the other party's instructions, Luo Shifang opened his hands, arranged the pulp, core, and branches separately, and drew lines with his own blood to connect them.

Finally, when the aura was complete and a whirlwind appeared in the sky, Luo Shi knew that the formation was opened by him.

"Time is limited. Before that crack closes, you need to get out of the demon world, otherwise you will be trapped there. After that, you are in the demon world, and you need to quickly find the exit and leave." Demon God Asmodeus warned, He joked again, "If you can't go back, I will send a demon general to lead you into the demon world. Once you accept my request for help, you will stay here forever."

Although the tone was teasing, Luo Shifang knew that the other party was serious.

Once he asks the demon god Asmodeus for help, he will become a real demon!

"Thank you for being able to help me during this time regardless of past suspicions."

Demon God Asmodeus: "You will repay me in the future. Hehe~"

As soon as the words fell, the formation on the ground was broken, and Luo Shifang was dragged into a crack in space.

The so-called demon world is the general term for all the gaps between the two worlds of the island country.

It's all right to meet weak monsters, but there are many powerful monsters and ghosts with thousands of years of cultivation. Because of their strength, it is difficult for them to break through narrow gaps. faster.

When Luo Shifang glanced away, he found himself standing in a dilapidated city.

The surrounding buildings include quaint wooden houses, tall modern buildings, and even paper buildings that seem to collapse in a flash, row upon row, neatly arranged.

Some are dilapidated, some are clean, some are luxurious, some are poor...

The sky was dark, but through the light of the will-o'-the-wisp, you could see the dark sky, like a starless and moonless night.

Just the moment he arrived here, Luo Shifang felt that his perception was disordered, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at him covetously.

The demons and ghosts gnawing at each other seem to be nothing at all.

"Demon God, are you still there?"

Luo Shifang softly called out to the Demon God Asmodeus in his heart, but the other party did not respond.

Obviously, this is no longer within the reach of the opponent's magic power.

There is no doubt about the strength of the demon god Asmodeus, but the suppression of the opponent is only strong but not weak.

Just as he was flapping his wings to fly, there was a sudden burst of pressure from the sky. Luo Shifang looked up and saw that where the moon should be, there was a pair of bloodshot eyes staring at him everywhere.

And when he landed on the ground, his eyes slowly closed, and it seemed that nothing had appeared in the sky.

"The eyes of the sky... the eyes of the sky..." Luo Shifang pondered for a moment, then whispered, "The sky is the territory of the tengus. After a certain distance above the ground, the tengus will release warnings. Among them, the big tengu is an island country. One of the three most famous monsters, once encountered, there will be endless troubles."

In desperation, he could only search the nearby blocks aimlessly.

However, because of the instability of the space, every time he passes through a block, the scene he originally saw will change drastically, which is to deliberately lead the strays to lose their way.

There was a gloomy wind, and when he passed a certain street lamp, he saw a long-haired woman in a windbreaker.

After noticing Luo Shifang, the long-haired woman raised her head, revealing half of her dead eyes wearing a mask.

She slowly took off the mask, but the corners of her mouth were cracked directly to the base of her ears, and the tissues in her mouth were clearly visible.

"This gentleman... am I beautiful?"

Luo Shifang sighed.

Appeared!

The main body of the famous horror urban legend in the island country, the Gap Girl.

Although the degree of discussion has decreased in recent years, and even because the police deliberately reported the incident as a prank, many people no longer believe in the legend of the Gap Girl, but this monster does exist, but it was sealed by psychics. .

He had a hunch that if he didn't move quickly, he would probably get lost here.

"kill!"

Luo Shifang's pupils shrank, his aura soared, and he stretched out his sharp claws, tearing at the girl with the gap.

……

In Tongmori Town outside, it took a day, under the siege of the two patriarchs of the main hall and Xiyuan Temple, the ghost of Ayanokōji Masao was finally wiped out.

As the saying goes, after being blackened, the strength will skyrocket tenfold. Even if Masao Ayanokouji's fierce ghost is not so exaggerated, it is more difficult to deal with because of irrationality than usual. Panting heavily, he fell to the ground, unable to move.

Right now, the most important issue is that crack that has been torn apart.

The Patriarch of Xiyuan Temple suggested: "I think we should close this crack immediately, otherwise, more and more sealed demons will reappear in this world."

"Wait a little longer, Mr. Luo should still be alive, I think he is still alive." The Patriarch of the hall shook his head, denying the proposal of "closing the gap immediately".

The Patriarch of Xiyuan Temple didn't have much patience, but he also knew that it would be impossible to justify it without waiting, so he said, "Then let's recover our strength and talk about it later."

So, another day passed.

Luo Shifang still did not appear.
