The first chapter of the demon is born of the demon’s mother

It was midwinter, the sky was cloudy, thick dark clouds covered the sky, the bitter cold wind blew the branches shaking leaves flying. At noon, snowflakes floated in the sky. This is the first snow in the provincial city so far this year. At night, the whole city was covered in silver. The branches of the trees and the roofs of the houses were all white. The original noisy night, also seems to be cold, few pedestrians on the road. It was so cold that no one wanted to go out. Occasionally there are pedestrians passing by, are huddled up, wearing thick clothes. Some pedestrians even put on a scarf, put on a hat, the whole body is wrapped in clothes, in order to escape the biting wind.

This is a northwestern provincial city, the economy is still quite developed, the population is still dense, water is also considered adequate, the only drawback is too much sand and wind. Especially in winter, when the snow is always accompanied by a bitterly cold wind. It is undoubtedly snowy.

The pedestrians on the street are walking fast, hoping to reach their destination sooner and no longer suffer from the cold wind. A young man wearing a blue down jacket with a slightly fat body is walking alone in the wind and snow, with fast steps. He also seems to want to go home early.

No one knew that he wasn’t actually cold.

Even if he doesn’t wear a down jacket, he won’t feel cold in the wind and snow.

It’s just that he’s used to being like normal people.

“Mendoza” suddenly, the cold wind brought a soft voice. The young man in the blue down jacket subconsciously stopped in his tracks and turned back slightly.

Yes, the young man is Mendoza, a senior student at the provincial university.

In the night wind, a tall girl wearing a red down jacket was slowly walking towards him. Although the girl is dressed very thick, but does not affect the beauty of her form. The yellowish street light shines on her face, which is a beautiful face.

Mendoza secretly smiled bitterly as he left the table early and still couldn’t escape her eyes. Today was Mendoza’s class meal, and he was bored, so he left in the middle of it. He didn’t expect that Jonathan, the class president, would see him.

When the girl came closer, Mendoza saw a faint trace of anger on her snow-white face. There seemed to be some displeasure between the expressions.

“My big class leader, what’s up?” Jonathan is a warm and caring girl. Having been a classmate for almost four years, Mendoza remembers her as always being helpful and caring. Today, he is the one who cares for the first class president.

The reason for this concern is simple: Mendoza had gotten into a fight at school the other day and had been disciplined by the school. With time running out before graduation, Jonathan was worried that Mendoza would be stressed out, because if he had a stain on his file, he wouldn’t be accepted by the employer when he looked for a job.

“Mendoza, is not still worried about the disciplinary matters,” Jonathan snow-white face with two sweet dimples, large eyes look lively and lovely, Sassoon short hair is added a few charming.

Pure and charming, that’s what she said.

“Come on, let’s find a place to sit and I’ll enlighten you.” Jonathan, without saying a word, pulled Mendoza hard to go to the cafe in front and sit down.

Jonathan in the provincial university belongs to the kind of character and academic excellence, face body temperament all aspects of outstanding girls, is the school flower class. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re looking for. Mendoza doesn’t like trouble, so he doesn’t want to go for coffee with the class president.

Besides, he doesn’t really care about the disciplinary action at school. As for the matter of finding a job, someone will naturally take up for him. With the old acquaintance of the old monk Zhihong in the provincial capital, it is not difficult to find a job for him.

So in his opinion, Jonathan’s enthusiasm and concern is completely superfluous.

“Mendoza, you’re not a big man who’s already frustrated to the point of breaking down, are you? If you do, I’ll look down on you?” Jonathan muttered.

Looking at Jonathan’s attitude so firm, Mendoza was in tears, he smiled sarcastically and said: “Big class president, I’m fine disciplinary matters if you do not mention, I forgot. I just have some personal matters to deal with, so I left early… You’d better go back.”

I know you’re an orphan, I know you have to support yourself, but why can’t you accept my help? I know you have high self-esteem, but have you ever thought that we are classmates, classmates should help each other, now you are in trouble, I have the ability to help you, why do you have to refuse me?Mendoza, excessive self-esteem is low self-esteem you are not that kind of person, right?”

Hearing Jonathan’s words, Mendoza was in tears. After a pause, reached out and scratched his head, shyly smiled: “Big Ben, if you want to talk to me as a friend, I’ll be happy to go have coffee with you, if you are planning to educate my mind, then I’m sorry not to accompany”

Jonathan gave Mendoza a wide-eyed look and spat, “You’re being a jerk in front of me… I’m not going to be friends right now.” The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing.

“In that case, please go back, Big Ben… I’m going home too…” Mendoza was actually deliberately making light remarks to dissuade Jonathan from thinking about helping him, and from the looks of things, it worked out well.

Jonathan looked up at Mendoza and asked in a small voice, “Mendoza, I heard that you rented a house in the urban village in front of you, can I go take a look?” Generally speaking, college students are not allowed to rent off-campus, but there are policies above and below, and nowadays, off-campus renting is a popular trend. There are only a few reasons for renting off-campus, some for couples to live together, some to cook for themselves to save money, and some to study. Mendoza, on the other hand, is a businessman. He is an orphan, having grown up in an orphanage. Until high school, the government sponsored him to grow up and go to school. Since he went to college, he met an old monk who was able to change his life’s fate. After that, under the old monk’s introduction, he started his own work-study to support himself. Renting a rental is purely for the convenience of meeting with the old monk.

Mendoza looked puzzled when he heard that Jonathan was going to come with him to his rental house. The place that he rented was not suitable for Jonathan to visit. There is a mix of people, migrant workers, college couples, gangsters, thieves, and even girls in the business. Moreover, he was in the courtyard, four floors of nearly fifty households, half of which are in the flesh business with the gangsters. Some ladies will even bring customers back to the rental house to do business. Especially at night, the sound of gasping is constant. The single men and women who are less determined are designated to smell the sound of their hands and solve themselves.

Mendoza did not want a girl as ice-cold as Jonathan to go there. Besides, today he had a hunch that the old monk should come to him. So it was inconvenient.

“What? Not happy about it?” Jonathan saw that Mendoza did not say anything for a long time, snorted lightly and said, “You’re not the kind of person who is petty, are you?”

“I am generous, but it is indeed inconvenient for a big girl like you to go to my place at this late hour.” Mendoza said, “I’ll tell you what, find a weekend, I’ll pick you up and visit, forget about tonight. It’s getting late, let’s go back.”

“What’s so inconvenient about it?” Jonathan inquired, wide-eyed.

“Blah blah blah,” Mendoza’s word of fire was not even out of her mouth, Jonathan’s face turned red, she let out a light sigh, her beautiful eyes glared at Mendoza, turned around and walked away.

After taking two steps, she turned around and looked at Mendoza and asked, “We agreed that you would show me your house on the weekend, a gentleman’s word is a promise.

Mendoza smiled and didn’t say anything more.

After separating from Jonathan, Mendoza walked to the rental house in the middle of town, not far ahead.

“Mmmm… Mendoza heard the sound of a man and a woman making love just as he entered the iron gate of the compound. Mendoza knew that the owner of the house was a street girl who often brought clients to the rental house to do her business, and each time there was a lot of noise. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.

Mendoza realizes that his room is occupied.

Sure enough, the moment his feet stepped into the room, he saw a bald man in a suit. The bald man looked fifty years old. Red face, fine skin and flesh. Bald head of high taste, clothes are Versace, leather shoes are Armani. On his body this outfit, at least worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Mendoza seemed to know the bald man, and after a few cold glances, he said unhappily: “Old monk, how did you get in? Before leaving, I remember the door of the room was locked tightly. I have every reason to tell you to break into a private house.”

“Amitabha Buddha, good -” the bald monk folded his hands and pronounced a Buddhist hymn: “Master, don’t be mean to the monk? The monk is here to see you for business.”

Mendoza walked into the room, sat down on the bed and said with a grunt, “Old monk, since I met you, how many times have I been victimized by you? You didn’t break the lock of the door to get in, did you?”

“Hey -” bald head lightly laughed, shyly said: “The door was opened by the landlord, and, he gave me a hundred fortune telling fee you call the police, the landlord will testify for me, I am your friend. “

Mendoza was depressed for a while, and then hummed: “I said that the old monk Zhihong, you have always boasted that you are some kind of Taoist master? Why do you always do those deceitful things with ease? Every time you come over, you always cheat a hundred dollars from the landlord, are you blushing?” The bald man is a monk of the White Horse Temple, and his real name is Zhihong. It is said to be or provincial deputies to the National People’s Congress, vice chairman of the provincial CPPCC. In the province, and even the country’s religious system is a number of figures. But in Mendoza’s opinion, he is not a monk like

Being robbed by Mendoza for a while, the bald man called Old Monk Zhihong was not angry at all. On the contrary, he said with conviction: “Kid, don’t be ridiculous, I am a registered monk of the White Horse Temple, a real monk. I am different from those scum who wear monk’s clothes and cheat people everywhere. I have real skills. Let’s say today, I gave your landlord a few pointers. In the winter season, the sky is dry and it is easy to start a fire, so I kindly instructed your landlord to eliminate several fire hazards.”

“Che-” Mendoza said disdainfully, “What’s that got to do with it? The fire department was here yesterday?”

“Yes -” Zhihong laughed: “The fire department came, and the fire hazards were all mentioned. But your landlord is indifferent. I said today, he believed, the hidden danger is gone, this is the ability. This 100 yuan, I should get. Forget it, not to nag you about these trivial matters, today I came to you, indeed, there is an important matter. I came to ask you, in six months time you will graduate, what are you going to do after you graduate from college?”

“Cool it?” Mendoza grunted in no good humor, then his heart tightened and he asked, “Old monk, you’re not planning to ask me to go and chant with you at the White Horse Temple, are you? I don’t aspire to that.”

“You still want it?” Zhihong lowered his voice and said, “You kid is a demon, the White Horse Temple is the year Manjushri Bodhisattva seated into the Buddha’s dojo, the righteousness of the long-lived, in the White Horse Temple you are not long to stay. Besides, this year’s White Horse Temple admissions quota has long been determined, most of them are master’s diploma, you a college student, can not even touch the edge”

Mendoza sniffed, a burst of depression. These days, college students are really worthless, do not even want to be a monk.

Zhihong laughed: “No way, who called our White Horse Temple lay disciples high wages, who called the employment is now so difficult, I heard the host said, next year may have to recruit a doctor”

Mendoza was completely speechless. Recruiting a doctor to serve tea and sweep the floor in the Buddha Hall is not a waste of resources and a waste of nature?

“Kid, if you have not planned it yourself, I will help you arrange it,” said Zhihong with a smile on the corner of his mouth, “interested in being a village official?”

“Village officials?” Nowadays, the national policy is good, college students can go to be village officials after graduation. One is to solve the employment problem for college students, and the other is to improve the overall quality of the country’s grassroots managers. These things, Mendoza are clear. But he had never thought about it.

Jihong continued, “If you’re interested, I can ask for connections to get in touch with you, and when you graduate, work directly.”

Mendoza asked, “Being a village leader? No, it’s too annoying, and I don’t have any experience in that area.”

“Oh, it’s an assistant.” Jihong laughed: “You kid don’t think so beautiful, you just graduated, can only be a village chief assistant. Don’t worry, there is not much to do. When the time comes, I will help you move around again, to ensure that your division of labor is the most leisurely. Anyway, you have been in this urban village for almost four years, and you are familiar with the surrounding environment, absolutely no problem”

“You mean let me work here? No problem.” Mendoza nodded his head in agreement. After a pause, he stressed again, “Old monk, let’s just say up front, I really don’t care”

“Well, I know however, there are some things I have to tell you clearly in advance, to do this has to fight, the cost is not small. To put it bluntly, you have to pay for it.” Zhihong said frankly.

“How much?” Mendoza has been working part-time all these years and has some savings on hand.

“One hundred thousand-” Zhihong sat upright and said with a smile, “You also know how difficult it is to employ college students nowadays? A beautiful job like a village official is a hot job. So, it has to be at least that much.”

“I don’t have any money.” Mendoza wilted; his savings were just a little over 10,000. Where would he get the 100,000?

“I know -” Monk Zhihong seemed to know that Mendoza had no money, he grinned and said with a light laugh, “It’s still early for the punch line. You won’t graduate until next July. In the meantime, you can get the money. Right now, I have a business to introduce you. The other party is asking for fifty thousand.”

“Catching ghosts or taking demons?” Mendoza’s face showed a strong disgust. He said unpleasantly, “Monk, don’t forget that I am also a demon”

“You are a demon yes, but you are not a normal demon.” Monk Zhihong said bitterly: “I have checked your book of three lives, you are a good demon, you have gone through nine lives of trials and tribulations. This life is your last life of tribulation, as long as you can successfully pass this life, the demonic energy in your body will be completely purified by merit, and then you will achieve unearthly achievements.”

“I know, you’ve been telling me these things for almost four years now.” Mendoza said with a twist of his mouth, “I’ve always hated you. If you hadn’t told me this, I don’t think I would be in so much distress right now. I always thought I was a normal human being?”

“Is it normal? Blood is golden, never practiced lightness but is as light as a swallow Also, have you ever been sick? Why you will not be affected by heat or cold. And the extremely perverted self-healing ability” Chihiro said a dozen Mendoza body abnormalities in one breath. Finally, he questioned, “Do you think this is normal for you?”

“Hey—” Mendoza sniffed, sighed quietly and didn’t say anything more.

After a pause, he looked up at Zhihong and said, “Monk, getting money is fake, let me help you share your worries is real, right? Tell me, what exactly is going on?” Zhihong is a deputy of the provincial People’s Congress and vice chairman of the provincial CPPCC. With such a background, not to mention the arrangement of Mendoza as the assistant village head, even if it is to get into the provincial affiliated units also no problem. He deliberately talked about using money, just to find an excuse.

“Oh -” Zhihong embarrassed smile: “talk to understand people is not tired of the other party is the old president of the Pearl Group Ren Qiang. He is my friend recently he encountered some unclean things in the company you go to his company to see. After the job is done, 80,000 yuan, I take 30,000 yuan from it, the remaining 50,000 yuan to you, the thing is that simple.”

“Exorcising demons and catching ghosts should be what you Buddhists are best at, why do you have to let me go?” Mendoza said with dissatisfaction.

Zhihong said: “Kid, I’m doing this for your own good, so that you can accumulate more merit and virtue, and soon achieve the righteousness. Remember what I said to you before? I knew you from your last life, and the last life, and the last life. At that time, you always remembered who you were? And you knew what you should do and what you shouldn’t do? Unfortunately, in this last life, you lost your memory. I guess there should be some problems during reincarnation. Seriously, if I hadn’t woken you up, maybe you really wouldn’t have known you were a demon, after all, you lost your memory. I can’t bear to see you lose all your efforts. The heavens have the virtue of good life, I have to help you right now the most can accumulate merit things. There is nothing better than catching ghosts and exorcising demons,” said these words, Zhihong’s tone of expression is very serious.

Mendoza did not speak for a long time before he said, “Old monk, I don’t know if you’re telling the truth, because I really don’t remember anything except what happened in my life.”

“That’s why I spared no effort to help you.” Jihong said, “I had noticed you when you were in the orphanage. But your demonic power will awaken only when you become an adult, so I found you when you arrived in the provincial capital to go to college. This is Ren Qiang’s phone number do a good job, and you’ll come to fruition.”

“Oh,” Mendoza nodded faintly. Then he asked, “Since you noticed me so early, do you know my life?”

“I don’t know-” This is a clich��d question, and every time he answers it, the old monk’s tone is firm.

“In fact, also know a little, people are human his mother was born, demons, naturally is the demon his mother was born,” the old monk added with a smile.

Holy shit, I despise you. That’s what Luo Jiaying said.

Chapter 2: Is it a human being or a demon or a human demon?

“Monk, can I give you some advice?” After a pause, Mendoza looked at the Versace outfit and always felt uncomfortable in his heart. This outfit was definitely coopted from his remuneration. The old monk is more black than the capitalist.

“Say it.” Mendoza had agreed to the commission, and his heart rejoiced.

“Can you be a monk?” Mendoza muttered, “Look at you, Versace and Armani, except for that bald head, which point do you look like a monk?”

“Oh -” in the face of Mendoza’s ridicule, Zhihong laughed: “You young demon, how so uneducated, now what age, society is progressing, human progress, as monks also need to keep up with the times. Who said the monk must wear monk’s robe to live in the monastery, you have not heard the Buddhist predecessors said, wine and meat through the intestines, the Buddha in the heart to stay old monk I am now also this state, do not see me dressed in this kind of glamorous, in fact, my heart is as light as water, calm and indifferent. By the way, almost forgot one thing. Recently you kid be careful, from our observation of the White Horse Temple these days, the world seems to rise to the storm. The days of peace under the sky will soon come to an end”

Mendoza sniffed and hurriedly asked, “What the hell is going on?”

“Exactly what is going on, I am not sure. But from the current situation it should be that some ancient bloodline is about to awaken.” Zhi Hong’s face was composed and his tone was somewhat grave: “The bloodlines left on earth by the immortals and devils may have been stimulated by something and have begun to awaken.”

“Are there any more demons?” Mendoza doesn’t care about immortals and demons, only about his own kind. He was lonely during these four years. On the surface he got along with his classmates, but he was lonely inside. Because he had no kindred spirits.

Zhihong asked in no good humor, “Are you so impatient to see your kind? Kid, as I said, you have set a good future for yourself, ten lives as a human being, ten lives as a good person, accumulating merit and virtue, washing away karma demon energy. As long as you get through this life safely, you will have completed your merit and virtue. Stop thinking of yourself as a demon”

“A demon? A human demon?” Mendoza muttered a few words about what kind of a situation he was in.

“Demon man is not good to hear. If you don’t mind, it’s not bad to be called a human demon.” Ji Hong laughed.

“You are the one who is a human demon, your whole family is a human demon,” Mendoza said in a hurry, all the words came out. He is actually clear, the old monk should have no family long ago? This guy does not look old, but in fact is an old immortal.

“Young man, don’t get excited,” Chihiro was not angry at Mendoza’s insult. On the contrary, he laughed lightly and said, “Remember my words, don’t call yourself a demon anymore. You are different from them in your nine lives, you already have a human nature. Those residual explosive demonic nature in your body has also slowly dissipated”

It was late at night, and Mendoza was standing in front of the window, but he couldn’t see the moon. Because the sky has been snowing heavily. On a night like this, it should be quiet all around. But in this compound, there were laughter, quarrels, and even the sound of men and women making love. The rental house has always been like this, there is never a quiet time, whether it is day or night.

With his eyes closed, Mendoza looked up at the sky at a forty-six degree angle.

There was a time when he was always confused because he knew he was different from others. When the old monk found him and told him that he was a demon, he didn’t find it strange at all. Deep down, he had long thought of himself as a demon.

Today, Chihiro again repeatedly emphasized the need to treat himself as a human being.

“Is it a human or a demon, or a human demon?” Mendoza felt his head was a little gluey and confused. Couldn’t think straight, couldn’t make sense of it.

This night, Mendoza lost sleep, tossing and turning, until dawn did not sleep.

It was snowing lightly, and Mendoza was riding a second-hand bicycle towards the school. The bike came from the mud road in the middle of town, with mud on the wheels, and as he rode fast, the mud flew out and nearly splashed on the pedestrians around him.

To say it was close, but it actually spilled some.

In this regard, Mendoza does not have any sense of guilt. I am a demon, do not eat you is good, splash a little mud is nothing?

For some reason, his mind is always against the old monk, the old monk said he was human, but he felt in his heart that he was a demon.

Mendoza had a sleepless night last night, and although he didn’t come up with a reason, he still came to some realizations. In modern civilized society, the idea that the strongest is the most important is still not outdated. Since they are all monsters, why live as obsequiously as before. Looking back on the past, Mendoza some feelings, before is not living too much of a loser?

Mendoza found it boring and uninteresting. Only sleeping in class gives him a faint sense of enjoyment.

During class, Mendoza felt a pair of eyes staring at him. It was a comfortable feeling. He didn’t have to turn around to know that the owner of those eyes was Jonathan.

After class, Jonathan called Mendoza to the playground and said with a skittish exasperation, “Mendoza, can you stop sleeping during class in the future, do you think it’s easy for you to get into college?”

“It was easy-” Mendoza speaks the honest truth. The day he took the college entrance exams, he answered the questions easily and entered the provincial university with ease. In his words, everything was within his grasp. Just like the exams in the university, he always passed with ease. Even if he had the ability to get a perfect score, he did not feel the need. Long live sixty points, one more point wasted.

“You” Jonathan wanted to say something, but she was speechless when she saw Mendoza looking like she didn’t care about anything.

Mendoza looked up at the sky and down at the ground, and then smiled, “My big class leader, I have something to do later, so if you have nothing important to do, I’ll leave first.”

“Wait, don’t leave.” Seeing Mendoza was going to leave, Jonathan went forward to stop and said, “Don’t go yet, in fact, I asked you to come here is something to discuss with you I ask you first, do you believe in superstition?”

“Of course I don’t believe it.” Mendoza’s heart secretly thought, this girl can’t know something, right? He hurriedly said, “What do you want to say, I’m really busy, very busy every minute, you have something to say.” Seriously, Mendoza does not believe in superstition. But the matter of ghosts and gods does exist. How else could he be a demon?

Of course, these words can not be said to Jonathan. To say it lightly, people do not believe. Say it heavily, they are easy to reveal. It is better to play dumb.

“My family has not been doing well lately, and my father has asked someone to find a magician to practice to drive away disasters. I hope you can join me in demolishing that godly man’s deception and make my dad understand that there are no ghosts in this world.” Jonathan huffed, “My dad doesn’t know what’s going on either. He actually believes in superstition.”

Hearing Jonathan’s words, Mendoza subconsciously remembered the commission of the old monk Chihiro. Lifting his head, he inquired in a low voice, “Your family owns a company, right? Your father wouldn’t be Ren Qiang, the boss of Pearl Group, would he?”

“Yeah, how did you know that?” Jonathan was secretly shocked, thanks to the fact that he had always thought that Mendoza was an honest man. It seems that this kid is not simple either. She deliberately concealed her family situation in school, except for her closest sisters, it was impossible for others to know, but this always obscure Mendoza knew. It is clear that he must have made an effort to inquire.

Mendoza felt that the city was still too small, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence? The person he was working for this time was the father of Jonathan, the class president who had been trying to help him.

“Actually, superstition is something you believe in or not, since your father believes in it, why do you have to go and mess up Sorry, I really have something to do, I have to go now.” Mendoza could not explain that he was the magician. Thirty-six plans, go is the best plan.

“Weirdo-” Jonathan made a comment to Mendoza’s back.Jonathan sought Mendoza’s help to actually distract him from thinking about the disciplinary action.

Once a woman identifies a thing, she will not relent.

Chapter 3 Ancient Bloodline

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the bitter west wind shook the earth. The goose-feather snowflakes were like cotton rolled up in the sky by the gale. The roadside trees and roads and houses were white.

Looking at the pedestrians walking on the street in a hurry, Mendoza was thinking that they must not be like himself, with their hearts full of worries.

As Mendoza’s thoughts were racing, a BMW drove past him and stopped three meters away. The car door slowly opened and a middle-aged man got down from the back seat. He walked up to Mendoza and asked very politely, “You are Mendoza’s student, right? I am Ren Qiang, Master Zhihong introduced me here.”

Mendoza stopped in his tracks and looked at Ren Qiang, then at the BMW. Eventually his gaze fell on Ren Qiang’s body. There are some similarities with Jonathan. The temperament is also good, at a glance, you know it is a big boss.

Mendoza asked indifferently, “Do you need something?” According to Jihiro’s meaning, he should be the one to call Ren Qiang first.

For some reason, Ren Qiang’s face carried a bit of humility: “Mendoza student, why don’t you get in the car first? I’ll talk to you in detail after we get in the car.”

High-grade car, he is still the first time to sit. It feels very comfortable and classy.

When the car began to start, Ren Qiang said cautiously, “Master Zhihong has told you all about me, right? When are you going to help me”

“Let’s do it on the weekend. I don’t have time during the week, so I’ll come to your office then. Stop at the intersection up ahead.” Mendoza said.

Ren Qiang froze for a moment, but eventually nodded.

The wind, it’s getting stronger.

The snow, which is getting heavier.

Mendoza returned to his rented house with snowflakes, and just like last time, the door was open, and the old monk Chihiro was still sitting leisurely in the second-hand artificial leather chair that Mendoza had purchased only a few days before, wearing his name tag.

“Why are you here again?” Mendoza’s face was a little gloomy, he was a little annoyed with the old monk these days. Every time he saw him, his mood was always not very pleasant.

“How come I can’t come, by the way, do you have a cigarette on you?” Jihong smiled: “I searched all over your house and couldn’t find a single cigarette”

“No cigarettes,” Mendoza huffed, sitting on the edge of the bed with an unpleasant tone: “Monk, can you stop breaking and entering like a bandit?”

Jihong said seriously, “It was the landlord who opened the door.”

After a pause, Zhihong said in a serious manner: “This little thing you do not bother with me, I came to you, is an important matter to tell you. Now it is almost certain that many ancient bloodlines have awakened. The world is not peaceful, you have to be more careful.”

Mendoza said with wide eyes, “Thanks for the heads up, but I’d love to know what’s going on here?”

Jihong got up to refill his cup of tea, sip his lips and then said, “I didn’t tell you before, it was because there was no need. But from this current situation, I have to clear your doubts, otherwise you are likely to be involved in endless trouble”

“Tell me, what is going on? Why is there a demon race on earth, the bloodline of the gods.” Mendoza asked.

“It’s a long story, the cause of the matter is 10,000 years ago, the East and West Gods and Demons war,” said monk Zhihong open mouth slowly: “10,000 years ago, because of the difference in beliefs and ideas, the East’s immortal demon alliance army with the West’s Gods and Demons army began a war. That war is said to have lasted ten years. The war spread to the three worlds. The final result was a defeat, whether the Eastern immortal world, the demon world, or the Western gods, the demon world are greatly wounded. After the end of the war, the three worlds are full of devastation, everywhere there are traces of destruction left after the war. After the war, whether it is the East’s immortal and demon allied forces or the West’s gods and demons army are tired of the endless war. They decided to reconcile and then recuperate. But at this time, the Western gods and demons army found that their divine power was running out, and at the same time, the Eastern immortal and demon allied army also found that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly disappeared, the immortal path was blocked, the spiritual energy was depleted, and the five celestial decays”

“Then later, the Western gods and demons fell one by one, the Eastern immortals and demons also kept suffering from the five declines of the heavenly beings, one by one perished. The situation is getting more and more severe, finally, the three worlds within the strong gathered together, they deliberated, felt that they could not sit still, must stop the disappearance of divine power, must be clear about the cause of the disappearance of heaven and earth aura”

Mendoza interjected and asked, “Did you finally figure it out?”

“No,” Jihong continued, “everything was inexplicable, and even the high and mighty masters of the three worlds couldn’t figure out what was going on. Under the circumstances, they didn’t have time to figure it out. In the end, they gave up on finding the cause. In the shortest time possible, they came up with a way to preserve the fire. That is, with the help of human beings.”

Speaking of this, Zhihong cleared his throat and said, “Humans are known as the spirit of all things, and this is for a reason. Because the human body structure can accommodate all the energy within the three worlds. Some immortals, demons, gods and demons use their residual power to turn their own spirit into energy to hide in the human body in order to be reborn. Originally, they expected to be reborn in less than a thousand years. But in fact, the resurrection plan of the gods, demons and immortals in the sky did not go so smoothly. Within the Three Realms, spiritual energy is depleted, and even humans, who are the spirits of all living things, cannot provide enough energy for those gods, devils, immortals and demons.”

“Wait,” Mendoza asked his question: “Why do they estimate that they will be reborn in a thousand years beforehand, as if human life is not that long?”

“Good question -” said Master Zhihong: “In fact, before that great war, the basic life span of human beings was exactly one thousand years”

“Nonsense -” Mendoza said with a crooked head, “that’s not what history says.”

“Haha-” Master Zhihong immediately laughed: “History does not say that there are demons in this world In fact, you are a demon. And it’s still one.”

“Say ah,” Mendoza pursued: “more than three years, you always avoid talking about my identity, I suspect that you know my identity I am what the demon.”

Master Zhihong said seriously: “I indeed do not know your identity. Off-topic, let’s continue to talk about the serious bar At that time, the gods, demons, immortals and demons who were residing in the human body found themselves unable to resurrect before the end of the human race. In that case, they had to break up the genesis hidden in the blood of humans. And forcibly drive those humans to intercourse reproduction of the next generation through the inheritance of blood, those gods and demons immortal demon spirit on the new human body, and as a heritage, waiting to have enough power to be reborn”

“This is the origin of the ancient bloodline,” said Master Zhihong: “Later, because of the depletion of spiritual energy in heaven and earth, the human living environment deteriorated, resulting in their average life expectancy is getting shorter and shorter. So those gods, demons, immortals and demons awakened the day is also far away after 10,000 years, I did not expect that there are really ancient bloodlines began to awaken.”

“How do you know these things?” Mendoza inquired curiously.

“I’m not going to hide from you that I’m an authentic Buddhist heir,” said Master Zhihong in a deep voice: “Since we’re talking about it, I’m not going to hide it from you. Back then, among the experts in the three realms, only the Buddhist experts did not hit humans. Because after the vanishment of the spirit into the human body, the damage to the human itself is great. Those gods are like parasites slowly eating the power of the human body. And at the time of awakening, they will also directly erase the human soul and occupy their bodies. Buddha experts think this move is too cruel so they did not leave the ancient Buddha bloodline. They chose to preach harmlessly to humans. Eventually, our Buddhist masters all disappeared, but Buddhism was passed on to human society and passed on from generation to generation. So, for the past 10,000 years, our Buddhist clan has recorded everything At the same time, we are waiting for the awakening of the ancient bloodline.”

“From what we can see now, those ancient bloodlines did not erase the souls of the host humans.” Ji Hong said, “Ten thousand years have passed, what the ancient bloodline left behind is just the memory with some meager power.”

Chapter 4 You are not fighting alone

“What are you going to do?” In all the time I have known Master Zhihong, this is the first time Mendoza has heard him say so much. Although it sounded unbelievable and even a bit pie-in-the-sky. However, after he recognized the fact that he was a demon, these words were not just myths to him.

“We do not want the sorrow of 10,000 years ago to repeat itself again” said Master Zhihong, putting away his smiling face and saying seriously: “Good and evil are not mutually exclusive, and those immortals, demons, gods and demons who like to flaunt themselves may still be in conflict.”

“You guys? You’re not fighting alone?” Mendoza asked.

Master Zhihong did not answer Mendoza’s words. He raised his head and looked at Mendoza and said, “After 10,000 years of passing down generations, whether they are gods and demons or immortals and demons, their power is no longer the same as before. We are fully capable of restraining them.”

“So what do I do?” There seemed to be some excitement in Mendoza’s tone. To think that a demon, living alone for so long, suddenly heard that there are similar, his heart is really happy and excited. ?

The old monk could naturally hear the excitement in Mendoza’s tone, and he said incomparably serious: “You are a promising demon, I know you are eager to see your kind, but you have to understand that you are not like them. Your nine lives of good deeds have been completed, as long as you persevere for one more life, your future is unlimited ah”

With the old monk gone, Mendoza’s heart has not yet been quieted. It was so hard to get the news of the same kind of people, but the old monk repeatedly admonished himself not to associate with them. Isn’t this bullying the human demons?

Seriously, for the old monk’s words, Mendoza is half-hearted. Especially the practice of the ten good people he always felt that the demon would not be so kind, right? Questioning the demon is also questioning himself. So Mendoza’s heart is always very confused.

Time passed again a few days, Mendoza has been expecting to meet his own kind, but things did not go as planned, he did not even see a human demon, let alone a real demon.

As promised, Mendoza was supposed to go to Ren Qiang’s Pearl Group tonight and earn back the 50,000 fast dollars.

Exorcism for him, the most direct purpose is to make money. As for what the old monk said about merit, he never cared. He had never seen an immortal, but remembered the saying, only envy the lovebirds, not the immortals, so it can be seen that there is nothing good about being an immortal for the so-called cultivation, the class of immortals, his heart itself is not much expectation.

At the beginning of the night, the courtyard where the rental house is located is still as noisy as ever. The frying and laundry, chatting and quarreling, if you listen carefully, you can still hear the sound of a few men and women making love. Some are not interested, the reason for renting here, it is because the school is close, and he always felt that the people here live more real. They are almost all the bottom of society’s toiling masses, and in such an environment, they will always reveal their most real side.

He prefers to stay with these people as opposed to the well-dressed, but human-faced so-called social elite.

After answering the phone, Mendoza told Ren Qiang that he would arrive at Pearl Group in half an hour. Ren Qiang was going to come and pick Mendoza up personally, but Mendoza refused to do so.

Do people do the same demon, to low profile.

The company’s main business is to provide free services for Mendoza, because she wants to be a college student and see what the difference is between a college student and a civilian worker. But Mendoza is not interested in her.

Mendoza although its appearance is not good, the body is even a little fat, so that in the university campus even a girlfriend. But he is at least a demon, and still a demon who is about to become immortal. He can’t be so degenerate as to fool around with a street girl. Even if it’s free.

On the way, Mendoza stopped a red flag cab and told the driver to go to Pearl Group. Normally Mendoza would have never taken a taxi, life is in motion. This article also applies to the demon. But today is a bit special, for people to do things, the car money he has to pay.

Pearl Group is a listed company, even in a big city like the provincial capital, it is also second to none. The group’s office building is located in a commercial street in the provincial capital, the road is a bit congested, the driver took nearly forty minutes to arrive.

After getting off the bus, Mendoza was going to ask the driver to ask the front desk of the Pearl Group for money, but thought better of it, the twenty-five yuan taxi fare he could still afford. The big deal is to get reimbursed by Ren Qiang. Why bother to make things difficult for people’s drivers. These days it’s not easy to make a living.

Under the guidance of the receptionist, Mendoza soon found Ren Qiang’s office. Ren Qiang’s office was very different from what he had imagined before, the overall style was not luxurious or extravagant, but rather seemed very plain. At first glance, the decoration of the office seemed to be incompatible with his price, but after a closer look, it was not, as the decoration was enough to show his taste and state of mind.

Ren Qiang is a pragmatic person.

“Please sit down-” Ren Qiang got up and warmly greeted Long Yu to sit down in the business area of his office and personally served him tea. after Mendoza took the tea with both hands, he said, “Are you sure those dirty things were in the office encountered”

Ren Qiang laughed feebly: “To be honest, I can’t say, maybe it was real, maybe it was an illusion, but Master Zhihong said that you can help me solve these problems.”

“You trust that old monk a lot?” Mendoza picked up the cup and took a sip, the tea was good, sweet in the mouth and refreshing to the nose.

“I met Master Zhihong in the CPPCC, he is a famous senior monk in the country, his words will not be wrong. Moreover, he has helped me a lot.” Ren Qiang said.

Mendoza was speechless, another person who had been brainwashed by the old monk. He smiled and said, “It seems that you have been cheated by him a lot?”

Ren Qiang smiled and didn’t say anything. After a pause, he continued, “I just learned today that you and my daughter Xiaoyue are in the same class, so you have to help me get through this time no matter what.”

Mendoza immediately alerted, this bastard will not want to take advantage of the opportunity to press the price, right? The same classmates are classmates, business is business, this can not be mixed up.

“Don’t worry, there will be no less in terms of remuneration business and emotion are two different things.” Mendoza’s mind was still penetrated by Ren Qiang. As a successful businessman who started with nothing, Ren Qiang still has the ability to read people’s minds.

Mendoza’s face snapped and he secretly thought to himself that he was a bit of a failure as a demon and that even his little thoughts were being spied on.

Chapter 5 ghosts also have a home breeding

Straightening up, Mendoza spread his hands and said, “With all due respect, your office, there is nothing dirty about it. At least, I don’t smell any ghostly scent. I think it might be a hallucination, right? Or maybe what you encountered was not the usual kind of haunting.”

Ren Qiang smiled, his face changed, his expression was full of worry: “Then what should I do? Could it be you,” Ren Qiang wanted to say, I did not smell anything, you can not be mistaken, right? But as soon as the words left his mouth, he felt wrong again. Even if he did not believe in Mendoza, he should also believe in Master Zhihong, right?

Although Ren Qiang’s words did not say, but Mendoza also heard his questioning. All nose is right, but he is a demon. He was born to smell the demons and devils.

“Since I have promised you, I will be responsible for this matter to the end,” Mendoza said indifferently.

Ren Qiang crossed his fingers, his mood relaxed a little: “In that case, then please there is one more thing I want to ask you”

Speaking of this, Ren Qiang’s expression suddenly became incomparably serious, causing Mendoza also hurriedly sit upright. Just see that Ren Qiang said seriously: “Do not tell my daughter about this matter, Xiaoyue is a firm materialist, she never believes in ghosts and legends, I do not want to have any conflicts with her because of this matter”

Mendoza was reminded of the time when Jonathan, the head of the class, invited her to break up the money scam of the gods.

“She already knows.” After a slight hesitation, Mendoza still spoke to Ren Qiang.

Mendoza thought Ren Qiang might be shocked, but I did not expect Ren Qiang said expressionlessly: “Hey, if you know, you know, paper can not be wrapped in fire” Ren Qiang on the surface is very spontaneous, but the corners of the eyes in a slight twitch, obviously, his heart is actually still a little worried.

“It’s okay, I’ll explain it to Jonathan.” Mendoza said.

Ren Qiang continued to be silent for a while, then said in a deep voice: “Please. By the way, I will count the money to you separately for this matter.”

Mendoza sniffed and scratched his head, looking even more embarrassed than Ren Qiang. Businessmen are so straightforward

After a pause, Mendoza had gotten into the role of a godsend: “Mr. Ren, there are a few questions I have to ask you. First, I want to know if you have any enemies?”

“Can I know if this question has anything to do with this matter?” Ren Qiang froze for a moment and asked.

“Well,” Mendoza nodded and said, “Actually, when I first met you, I noticed that you had been infested with something unclean. And I once suspected that it was something not wild, but domestic. After coming to your office today to see the field, I am more sure of my judgment. There should be someone secretly driving ghosts to infest you. At the same time he did the cleaning, so there is nothing wrong with your office.”

“It’s like this -” Ren Qiang smiled, leaned his body on the sofa and closed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something. For a long while, he opened his eyes and said, “To say that the enemy, right? There must be. The business world is like a battlefield, there is no business without offending people”

Speaking of which, he cautiously inquired, “Is it true that ghosts are domesticated? How do I feel that this is too unbelievable, home to raise a small dog and cat can still be said to pervert ah …”

“Not a pervert -” Mendoza put down his cup of tea, his eyes fixed on that Ren Qiang said: “Some people live on this”

“I see,” Ren Qiang took over the topic and said: “You mean to say that there is a Taoist priest captive ghosts, and someone hired the Taoist priest to persecute me?”

“The person who raises ghosts may not be a Taoist priest it could be a lama, a monk, or even a foreigner.” Mendoza secretly laughed, Ren Qiang must have watched too many domestic ghost movies, always think that only Taoist priests to raise ghosts. The reality is not, last year, Mendoza from the hands of the old monk took a single business, the other side of the captive ghosts is a monk.

“So what should we do now?” Ren Qiang’s mood became tense once again. Humans are always full of fear for the unknown, even for a brilliant businessman like Ren Qiang.

“With me around, there is nothing to worry about.” With that, Mendoza got up to say goodbye: “I think I should go This is a spiritual talisman, you keep it close to you, when the ghosts attack you again, I will be the first to arrive. If the ghosts don’t make a move, I can’t help.”

“This is very expensive…” Mendoza added when Ren Qiang took the yellow talisman paper.

“Don’t worry, after the job is done, there will be heavy thanks.” Ren Qiang said.

After hearing Ren Qiang’s indication, Mendoza was so satisfied that he wasn’t even going to bring up the matter of the beating fee.

“Mr. Ren, stay here, I’ll just go back by myself.” Mendoza declined Ren Qiang’s kind offer to take him home and took a big step forward. At this time, the door of Ren Qiang’s office was pushed open. In the doorway stood a girl wearing a red down jacket, her fashionable short Sassoon hair signaling her youthful vigor. Showy face features with just the right amount of cooperation. At this moment, the girl’s face had a faint trace of anger and surprise.

“Mendoza, so you’re the money scammer?” The girl is Mr. Ren’s daughter, Mendoza’s class president Jonathan’s classmate. She knew that the godly man her father had invited would appear tonight, so she had been waiting in the next room, and she wanted to personally demolish the face of the godly spirit. But she never dreamed that the divine spirit would be her classmate.

Jonathan finally understood why Mendoza had recused himself before.

After a short daze, Mendoza smiled at the Taipan: “It’s me. But I’m not a magus, I’m here to help Mr. Ren. Let’s go out for a walk, Taipanji.”

Jonathan looked at his father, then at Mendoza, and finally nodded yes. Without waiting for Mendoza to say anything else, she twisted around and stomped away on her high heels.

“Please -” Ren Qiang barked.

“Don’t worry, I’ll explain it to her…” Mendoza smiled confidently and took a big step forward to catch up.

On the road, Jonathan had a chilly face, Mendoza walked silently behind her and was in no hurry to talk, but instead looked around leisurely at the pedestrians.

Jonathan finally couldn’t hold back, stopped in his tracks, stared coldly at Mendoza with big beautiful eyes, and asked in no uncertain terms, “Aren’t you going to say something to me?”

Mendoza still didn’t say a word, and Jonathan’s good-looking mouth spread a mock-like smile: “Why should I do that? I know you have a hard life, but you can’t go around cheating people, right? If you are in trouble, tell me, I can help you”

The new book opened, and urgently need your readers’ collection of recommendation votes.

Chapter 6: The show is on

When this statement was made, Mendoza was immediately depressed. This girl thought she was forced to do this costless business because of her life. Is it obvious that she is looking down on people?

“Big Ben, it is your father who is in trouble now, your family and I am helping you.” Mendoza said, “You once asked me, do I believe in superstition? My answer was yes, I don’t believe in superstition. But I want to tell you that there are indeed things in this world that ordinary people cannot understand.”

“Enough—” Jonathan doesn’t even give Mendoza a chance to explain, she interrupts Mendoza and huffs, “Manned spaceflight is in the sky, why do you still believe in Why do you believe in this? What an age it is now, and you’re still telling me this”

“Listen to me, superstition is not to be believed, but some things may not be superstition and you have to believe. Seriously, your father was indeed infested with ghosts.”

“If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll call the police,” Jonathan said, thinking that Mendoza was clearly arguing.

Seeing Jonathan’s firm attitude, Mendoza gave up further explanation. There is a heavy responsibility.

“Kid, go back, I’ll help you explain” Just then, Ren Qiang drove the car with Master Zhihong appeared. The old monk smiled at Mendoza and said, “Go back.”

“This girl is so stubborn that you may not be able to talk your way out of it.” Mendoza whispered.

“Don’t worry, it’s a trivial matter.” The old monk smiled confidently, and then said, “The same words, you say it, and I say the effect is completely different. Because you and I have different identities to speak with different weight.”

Mendoza sniffed and was relieved. Indeed, with the old monk’s status, Jonathan may not be unconvinced.

The old monk finally convinced Jonathan that metaphysics and science exist side by side in this world. Superstition is not credible, but metaphysics is true. Demons and gods awakening is also true.

But Jonathan is convinced of Mendoza’s identity as a magician. Perhaps it was a preconceived notion, she always thought, he is an orphan, how can exorcise the demons out of ghosts?

Jonathan is no exception to the fear of the unknown. Jonathan has been consciously avoiding Mendoza since he was explained the existence of metaphysics by Master Zhihong, the vice chairman of the provincial CPPCC and a representative of the provincial People’s Congress, who always felt that Mendoza was evil. The enthusiasm she had before is now gone.

In this regard, Mendoza is very relieved, very depressed. The relief is that Jonathan will no longer pester himself, depressed is looking at Jonathan’s strange eyes every day, the heart more or less unhappy.

Time passed day by day, Mendoza eager to meet the same kind, but never as hoped. But there is a new situation on Ren Qiang’s side.

Last night, through that charm of the old monk, Mendoza sensed a ghostly creature hovering around him. And today is a yin day, the yin energy is strong at midnight, the ghosts’ power will double. If there is no accident, the person behind the crime will definitely choose to strike at Ren Qiang at midnight today.

After leaving school in the afternoon, Mendoza asked for a bowl of noodles at a restaurant in the middle of town to fill his stomach, and then took a taxi to Pearl Group.

Ren Qiang, who received the call in advance, personally came downstairs to greet them.

“Mendoza, it’s good that you’re here. Ever since I got your call, I’ve been having a lot of trouble in my heart,” Ren Qiang’s eyebrows were full of worry: “It’s getting dark, do you need me to do anything?”

“There’s no need for you to do anything deliberately. You just have to work overtime in your office as usual, while arranging for me to hide in your office break room.” Mendoza explained as he walked. Within a short time the two took the elevator upstairs to Ren Qiang’s office.

Surprisingly, Jonathan, who has been treating Mendoza coldly for some time, was also present. She looked at Mendoza with the same cold eyes, even some disdain and mockery.

Mendoza swept a faint glance at Jonathan, not caring about her attitude. There is a saying that a good demon does not fight with a woman. The old man is a demon, with you a girl in general, is not a self-lowering identity.

In order for things to go smoothly, Mendoza suggests that Jonathan recuse himself. But Jonathan refused to leave. With her father’s safety at stake, Ren Xiao repeatedly said she would not add to the chaos.

Mendoza coldly admonished, “Grand Bandmaster, Mr. Ren, I have said all that needs to be said, and I will not be held responsible for any series of consequences that may arise from your presence.”

Looking at Mendoza’s icy face, Jonathan bit his lip and said stubbornly, “I will take responsibility.”
