I went upstairs, knocked on the door of the beads, and looked inside, to my surprise to find that he was packing up.

"Going?"

The fat man asked with a slight surprise.

"Well, the matter of Xuanming Temple has been concluded, and my brothers in the north need my help with some things. So, prepare to leave Shanghai tomorrow by train. ”

As he spoke, he returned to the bed, picked up a paper bag and handed it over, and the fat man took it and looked at it, and there were several dollars in it. Ten dollars, five dollars, and even a hundred dollar bills.

"This is the money that should be distributed to you after the treasure exploration of Xuanming Temple, it's all here, you can order it. The Ling family came with news, and in a few days, they asked someone to bring the antidote to Shanghai. You can rest assured, the Lord of the Three Mountains is still very trustworthy. ”

After the bead finished speaking, he stopped talking, and the fat man looked back at me with the paper bag, and there were some things he couldn't say at this time, so he had to come.

I walked over slowly, sat on the edge of the bed, waved my hand before I could say anything, and said, "I know what you're going to say, but ...... Xiaoshan, I really can't help you this time. ”

"Brother Zhuzi, we haven't known each other for a long time, I understand that everyone has their own bottom line, and there is no need to push each other into a corner. I don't blame you for not going, but I know you must know something about demons. I need your knowledge and experience in this area!"

I took Zhuzi's arm, and he frowned tightly, and after a long moment, he sighed, threw the clothes away from his hand, shook his head, and said, "Since you both are determined to go, then I will talk to you about the consequences, and maybe what I say next can make you think about it carefully." ”

Zhu sat cross-legged on the bed, took the cigarette handed by the fat man, lit it and smoked half a cigarette before saying, "When I first debuted, I used to be obsessed with demon things. It's no exaggeration to say that I was the same as you back then. When I was a teenager, I had a lot of white eyes, and because of my ridiculous height, many people in our countryside said that I was born crippled. I went out on my own, only to find that the outside world was completely different. Big Brother who brought me into the industry was a nice guy, and there were six of us on our team at the time. They come from all over the world, and they are all characters who have seen the world. They told me a lot of amazing things, and the one that fascinated me the most was the demon. ”

It was only later that I discovered that what really fascinates a person is not the thing itself, but the memories and desires.

"It's hard to describe a demon in a certain language, beautiful or ugly, strong or weak, bloodthirsty or kind. But they are the oldest beings in this world, and no one knows the origin of the demons. Even now few people can watch them ......"

Even after so many years, there is still a burning light in the eyes of the beads, like a boiling and burning fire, which is a yearning from the depths of the soul.

"What's the difference between a demon and an earth beast?"

The fat man muttered.

"Hmph, that's not something to compare at all. At best, earth beasts are just some alien species that appear due to yin qi or changes in heaven and earth. It's like some people have a lot of strength, and some people run very fast. But in the end, it still did not exceed the tolerable threshold. The 'life cat' is still a cat, and the 'square tail' is still an animal. But demons are different, in my eyes, demons are the most hideous side of the world. ”

Beads narrowed their eyes and whispered as they smoked. He looked at the rising green smoke, and his eyes were surrounded by a blue-gray light.

"Brother Zhuzi, if you want, you can tell me what you have experienced. ”

I said next to me.

Zhu Zi snuffed out the cigarette butt on the table, smiled miserably, and then said, "I followed Big Brother to take an order, and that was four years ago. It was a golden fish that was caught in the coastal area at that time, and it should be regarded as a kind of earth beast. This fish has a brilliant glow all over its body, and it has a jewel-like pattern in the sun, which is very beautiful. It can be sold at a very high price. Big Brother took us to the local area three or four times, and finally determined where we could catch it, got a small fishing boat, and took us out to sea. But something went wrong during the arrest, and I was in charge of collecting the net in the rear. But at that time, clumsy and flipped off the boat, fell into the water and let the fish go. Big Brother didn't blame me for that, but what happened later turned into a terrible nightmare. ”

The bead lit a second cigarette, and neither I nor the fat man spoke, and silence was the best help at the moment.

"The fish was wounded, and the blood was running down the water. It was a shallow beach, and there shouldn't be any carnivorous fish close by, but we were all wrong. Only half a minute after the fish escaped, the sky began to cover with dark clouds. The clouds were so thick that we thought we were going to change the sky, so we hurriedly paddled ashore. However, strong winds blew on the sea, and these winds whistled and blew in the sky, causing waves more than ten meters high. The fishermen on the shore have fled, and we are the only ones left in the sea. It rained so hard that the whole sea turned black in an instant. The wind blew and we all started to panic, but we got farther and farther away from the shore. At that time, I ......"

The bead stopped again when he said this, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't open it, and his eyes became moist, even with a trace of blood.

"What do you see?"

The fat man asked.

Zhu Zi wiped his eyes with the back of his hand before he spoke: "I saw many huge floating figures on the dark horizon, swimming in the sea, and they seemed to have dragon-like bodies. From far away came a terrible roar, as if from the center of the world. Before that, I had never heard any roars like it. At that moment, my boss said to me that those who swim in the sea are the demons ......."

"And then?"

I already knew the answer to the matter, but I couldn't help but ask.

"Then a huge wave came down and overturned our boat. In the end, I was the only one who survived, and when I was unconscious, I clung to a large plank that I was able to survive. This is a demon, not an earth beast, not a zombie. A real demon can cause natural disasters, and a real demon uses more power than you can imagine. Xiaoshan, we are human beings, we are very small, don't do things that have no chance of winning. ”

Zhu Zi stared back at me, this sentence might have made me feel irritated ten minutes ago, but at this moment this sentence made me understand the true meaning.

"Maybe what we encountered was not a big monster as powerful as you, but a little demon hiding in the river, and it was impossible to set off such a big disaster. Besides, Brother Zhu is not my fat man's broken mouth, and no one knows what is in the sea. But I thought, if there was such a powerful thing hidden, the scientists wouldn't know about it? It could swim up a storm and turn the whole ocean upside down. Haven't our PLA soldiers been driving a battleship to do it a long time ago? You may just be scaring yourself. ”

The fat man's words were not unreasonable, Zhu Zi sneered, shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you think so, I won't force you to believe my words." Xiaoshan, you must deal with that demon, and you will do it. Don't blame me for not warning you, I looked up a lot of information after that, but only the big organizations of the Great Gate Sect have a truly reliable record of demons, and all we can find is some folklore. I can't help you with anything, whether you can subdue it or not depends on your own ability. ”

Zhuzi didn't want to say anything more, he kept his mouth shut, and kept his face cold.

"Fatty, let's go. ”

I stood up and patted the fat man on the shoulder, and the fat man stepped out of the room first. I stood at the door, thought for a moment and said, "Brother Zhuzi, maybe I haven't experienced so many lives and deaths. But the old man in the family said that men can't be cowardly, even if they die, they have to laugh. Perhaps, your warning was correct, but that's how I and the fat man's temper is. If it was your eldest brother who was lying in Senior Han's house now, maybe you would do your best to save him like we did......"
