Chapter 123: Year Beast
This thought suddenly popped up in his heart, where did Gao Yang dare to stay here at this moment, and he was ready to leave!
It's terrible to have a plague, but where is this? This is heaven! Gao Yang didn't believe that there was no immortal in this heavenly court who could cure the plague!
And it's obvious that it's more terrifying to be fed to monsters than the plague, right?
I don't want to die yet!
Thinking of this, Gao Yang immediately turned around and prepared to slip away, but at this moment, he was suddenly picked up, and before he could react, the scene in front of him suddenly changed again, and then a very huge hole appeared in front of him, and two red lanterns were lit in the hole, accompanied by a heavy snort.
Obviously, the pair of 'red lanterns' that suddenly lit up were not lanterns at all, but the eyes of the monster in the cave!
And since he first appeared here, he noticed that the pair of lantern-like eyes were already fixed on him.
Damn it! It's dead this time! Master, you must remember to avenge my apprentice!
Facing the pair of 'red lanterns' that were getting closer and closer to him, Gao Yang couldn't help but wail in his heart.
In Gao Yang's shocked eyes, the monster in the cave finally came out.
I saw that this was a huge monster with a height of three meters, a red body, and a single horn on its head, a head the size of a millstone, and a large mouth full of dense teeth like jagged teeth, and as he walked out of the cave, its entire body finally appeared in front of Gao Yang.
Damn, what kind of monster is this! I've never seen it before!
Sensing that the pair of red eyes with the size of a bowl were staring at him, Gao Yang was almost scared to pee, and Shi Wenye's ancestors were scolded by him again.
"Hungry, huh? Let's eat something first! ”
This is Shi Wenye's voice.
It's time to come, and finally the master came, remember to avenge my apprentice!
Gao Yang hurriedly closed his eyes in fear, wailing in his heart, and then there was a wolf-swallowing sound in his ears.
"Huh? Why don't I feel pain? What's going on? ”
With the terrifying swallowing sound, Gao Yang did not feel a trace of pain on his body, and he suddenly had some doubts in his heart, and then slowly opened his eyes, only to find that Shi Wenye was looking at him with a strange expression.
"What's wrong with you?"
Shi Wenye asked.
"Aren't you going to feed me to the monsters? Why am I still alive? ”
Gao Yang said with some surprise.
"Hey monsters? Who said I'm going to feed you to the monsters? ”
Shi Wenye said with a frown, then turned his head to look at the monster that was gobbling it up.
Gao Yang followed Shi Wenye's gaze and looked over, but this look couldn't help but make him breathe a sigh of relief.
It's true that the monster is eating, but it's eating a kind of meat similar to beef, and it can be seen that this monster eats a lot of food, and the pile of meat in front of him has to weigh a thousand catties, to say the least.
After knowing that Shi Wenye didn't want to feed himself to the monster, Gao Yang let out a sigh, and then he asked, "Shangxian, what is the name of this monster?" ”
"You must be familiar with his name!" Shi Wenye looked at Gao Yang with a smile and said, "His name is Nian!" ”
Year? Year Beast? Could it be that this monster is the legendary Year Beast?
There is such a legend about the year beast in the world.
Nian, also known as the year beast, is the ancient period of Chinese myths and legends in the evil beast, according to legend in ancient times every year at the end of the year at midnight, the year beast will attack the village, the year beast is fierce, and good cannibalism, but where the year beast attacks the village will be slaughtered, it is said that the horns on his head are his weapons, can kill almost any creature.
Later, people gradually discovered the shortcomings of the year beast, knowing that he was afraid of fire, red and loud noise, so at the end of the year, people set off firecrackers and pasted spring couplets to drive away the year beast, until later this habit gradually evolved into a custom, and because of the year beast, this festival is also called 'New Year'!
Such myths and stories are not only recorded in the book, Gao Yang had heard his grandmother tell it many times when he was very young, but he always thought that the Nian Beast was just a fictional thing, more illusory than the gods and the like, but he didn't expect that this Nian Beast was actually a real thing, and he didn't know what was going on, he actually came to Heaven.
However, when he thought that the Nian Beast was mainly eating people, he couldn't help but feel a thrill in his heart, who knows if he would wait until he finished eating this pile of meat and wanted to taste other game? It's better to get out of here!
Thinking of this, he said to Shi Wenye on the side: "Shangxian, you didn't let me come here just to let me come to see the Nian Beast eat, right?" What exactly is there that I need to do here? You'd better tell me! You've cured me of the plague, and I'm out of here!" ”
It's a plague and a year beast here, and Gao Yang really doesn't want to stay any longer.
"Well, since you're in such a hurry, then I'll tell you!" Shi Wenye pointed to the Nian Beast in front of him who was devouring raw flesh and said, "The help I asked you to help is very simple, just take this Nian Beast away from me, and then I will unravel the poison of the plague for you!" ”
Take away the Year Beast? Where to take him? Will you take him to the world to eat people? Well, I can't help with that!
Since the Nian Beast is real, then the legend about the Nian Beast eating people must also be true, if Gao Yang wants to bring such a man-eating monster back to the world, Gao Yang is not willing to do it.
Seeing Gao Yang leave with a negative spirit, Shi Wenye was anxious, so he shouted: "Have you forgotten the poison of the plague on your body? ”
"It's okay! Heavenly Court is so big, and there are not a few immortals with profound mana, since you are not willing to help me solve the poison of this plague, then I will go to find someone else, anyway, this favor, I am not willing to help you no matter what! ”
Gao Yang said without looking back.
Then the back collar was lifted up again, and in a flash, he returned to the backyard.
Looking at Gao Yang's resolute appearance, Shi Wenye also secretly complained in his heart, he thought that he could get rid of the entanglement of the Nian Beast this time, but he didn't expect that the kid in front of him would not agree to live or die, which really made him difficult.
Heavenly Court moved, he should have moved to other places with him, but he had no choice but to take in this year beast ten thousand years ago, the year beast is an ancient evil beast, no longer among the gods of the heavenly court, and his plague temple is located in a remote place, and few people usually come, so although there are many immortals in the heavenly court who know that he takes in the year beast, but in line with the principle that it is not his own business, he has always been peaceful.
Before, the Jade Emperor issued an order urging him to go to his post quickly, because of the relationship between the Nian Beast, he has been delaying this matter, because the Nian Beast can't go with him anyway, so he has been looking for someone who can be entrusted everywhere in the Heavenly Court, but this Nian Beast is no better than other spirit beasts, but a notorious evil beast, plus his popularity in the Heavenly Court is not very good, this matter has been delayed until now!
But now, it really can't be dragged on, otherwise I'm afraid that he, the god in charge of the plague god, will not be able to keep it.
It's rare to meet Gao Yang, how could he give up lightly?
Shi Wenye's eyes rolled, and another plan came to his mind.
