Chapter 8: Love and Hatred (3)
Just as Paya was immersed in the bumpy but sincere relationship between Sima Xuanhuang and Zhuge Yixin, Dao Yan opened his mouth and asked, "When will the 'Nine Water Demon Beasts' mentioned just now recover?" ”
Sima Xuanhuang and Zhuge Yixin hurriedly woke up from their memories, and Zhuge Yixin said with a sad face: "Ten days later." ”
"Don't worry, Miss Zhuge , let Brother Sima take care of his injuries, and I'll help you get rid of that demon beast." Dao Yan said firmly.
The ancient city of Dali is bordered by the rippling Erhai Lake in the east, and the perennial snow-covered Cangshan Mountain in the west, forming an excellent scenery of "a water surrounds Cangshan Mountain, and Cangshan embraces the ancient city". At this moment, Dao Yan and the others had no intention of nostalgizing this picturesque beauty, Singh led the best hunters in the Moon God Clan to hide on the shore with strong bows and arrows in a sea cliff that looked like a turtle's head sticking out of the water, and Zhuge Yixin led the clansmen to ambush in the pit on the shore with hook locks. Dao Yan sat on the shore with his eyes closed and waited, carrying the 'Tianhe Shenzhen' on his legs. Suddenly, dark clouds thickened, and the smooth water surface was swept up by the sudden wind. The rain fell from the sky, and after a few lightning bolts, a thunderclap sounded, and I saw a huge wave suddenly set off in the distance, and as the waves receded, nine long black shadows swayed between the water and the sky. Dao Yan stood up, held the 'Tianhe Shenzhen' with one hand, and walked towards the shore. The 'Nine Water Demon Beasts' noticed that there were people on the shore, so they scrambled to attack the shore as quickly as nine dragons out of the water. Singh instructed the hunters to draw their bows and take aim, but just as the target was about to enter range, the 'Nine Water Demon Beasts' seemed to sense some danger, and quickly circled in the water, swam backwards, and finally disappeared into the boundless Erhai Lake. Everyone waited until sunset, but the 'Nine Water Demon Beasts' never reappeared, so they had to return to the 'Chongsheng Temple' to discuss countermeasures.
When Daoyan and others came to Dali, Zhuge Yixin arranged everyone to rest in the village, but the village was far away from Erhai Lake, and later the Kujing master of the 'Chongsheng Temple' learned about it, and then set aside a part of the courtyard in the temple to save the warriors who saved the people as a camp.
"Miss Zhuge , did this happen to you when you fought the 'Water Demon Beast' before?" Dao Yan asked.
"Although this demon beast is cunning, every time it wakes up, it will come out viciously to hurt people with an extra song and a great increase in strength. Today's escape has never happened before, and there is no record of it in the annals. Zhuge Yixin frowned and replied.
"Could it be that it found an ambush? After all, it was sealed every time it was ambushed by you. Singh interjected, and then saw that everyone was staring at him, and hurriedly argued: "It wasn't me who exposed it, the people who ambushed me were the top hunters in the clan, and our concealment technique couldn't even see the flaws in the eagles on the holy mountain." ”
"Since the demon beast is not afraid of the ambush of the Zhuge clan, and has not seen through the concealment of the Singh warriors, there must be some other reason that can make it afraid, except for the Singh warriors, only the Yun Shi Lord has never fought with it, and the reason is probably on the Yun Shi Lord." Master Kujing said slowly.
"The master analyzes it." Cortilia agreed.
"Then tomorrow, it's better to let Brother Yun take refuge for the time being, and Yixin and I will arrange it as in the past to see if the demon beast will reappear." Sima Xuanhuang was under the careful care of Katilia and Zhuge Yixin, and although he was not cured, he was able to walk normally. Zhuge Yixin was about to speak with a nervous look on his face, but he heard Sima Xuanhuang look at her and continued: "Yixin, don't worry, let's just try, if that demon beast really appears, I won't fight with it." Although I am not cured, I will not be easily killed by it, I have my own measure, rest assured. ”
"Then tomorrow, according to the words of Sima Gongzi, try that demon beast. Zhuge patriarch rest assured that Lao Qu will send a monk to protect Sima Gongzi tomorrow. Master Kujing said.
After the discussion, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, and recuperated for tomorrow's business. As soon as Dao Yan pushed open the door, a familiar aroma came to his nose.
"Come out." Dao Yan said with a smile.
"This fragrance is not good all the time, I can't wrap myself so tightly, I'm afraid I'll never be able to play peek-a-boo with you in this life." Paya pouted and turned out from behind the screen, wrapped tightly in a large green cloth robe.
"Aren't we playing a game of spider monsters catching butterfly goblins?" Dao Yan said and picked up Paya in a flash, Paya first exclaimed, and then "giggled" and laughed, and after the two played for a while, Dao Yan gently put Paya on the bed.
"If you are so disobedient, why don't you rest in the village, women are not allowed to enter this Buddhist temple." Dao Yan asked pretending to be angry.
"I'm very obedient, or I'd have arrived during the day, wouldn't Sister Zhuge be here." Paya lowered her head and said softly.
"Miss Zhuge is here to subdue demons and eliminate demons for everyone, and she is here with the approval of Master Kujing." Dao Yan Dao.
"Then I'm here to protect you from subduing demons and eliminating demons for everyone, this reason should be able to be said in the past from the master." Paya smiled and winked at Dao Yan as her large, bright eyes as bright as jewels.
"Nonsense, this temple is a quiet place for Buddhism, you wait here obediently, I'll ask the master if I can find you another room." As he spoke, he stood up and prepared to go out.
"Hey, don't, I promise not to mess around, aren't you afraid that there will be a monster who will capture the little butterfly after leaving?" Paya pleaded.
Seeing that Paya had made a promise, Dao Yan came back to help her untie her robes. "Whoever dares to capture my little butterfly, I will chase you back from heaven to earth." Dao Yan said with a smile.
"As long as Brother Yun likes it, the little butterfly will be by your side for the rest of your life." Paya said sincerely, and then gently served Dao Yan to change clothes and rest.
On the second day, everyone was ready according to the plan, Sima Xuanhuang and Zhuge Yixin stood on the shore and looked at the undisturbed Erhai Lake in front of them, feeling the breeze on their faces. Sima Xuanhuang held Zhuge Yixin's hand in the palm of his hand, and the two of them interlocked their fingers.
"If I can successfully seal this demon beast, I will pass on the position of patriarch to my younger brother, let's find a place to live in seclusion, and don't ask about any disputes in this world, okay?" Zhuge also said affectionately
"That's what we agreed to be, we've done everything we need to do, and we're only each other for the rest of our lives." Sima Xuanhuang said firmly.
Just as the two were vowing to make a covenant, Singh suddenly shouted from the sea cliff: There is a boat ahead. The two of them hurriedly looked in the direction pointed by Singh towards Erhai Lake. Sure enough, a large ship was slowly approaching them in the distance.
"Haven't you already informed the nearby tribes that they are not allowed to sail by boat?" Sima Xuanhuang asked in surprise.
"The letter I wrote by myself has indeed been notified to all the tribes, and all the tribes have replied to confirm that this should not have happened." Zhuge Yixin was also puzzled.
"I hope that the demon beast still doesn't dare to show itself today, otherwise this boat will be more than lucky." Sima Xuanhuang said nervously.
"I hope so." Zhuge Yixin echoed.
Seeing that the ship was getting closer and closer, it seemed that there were many people on board, Sima Xuanhuang was about to signal them to come over as soon as possible, only to see a huge wave roaring not far behind the boat, and as the water column fell, the 'Nine Water Demon Beasts' roared and jumped out of the water to pounce on the ship. The people on board seemed to be greatly frightened, but they immediately regained their composure, and the ship sped towards the shore. But the 'Nine Water Demon Beasts' were chasing after them, and the distance was getting closer and closer. Zhuge Yixin had to order the clansmen to rush to the rescue in a small boat, and at this time, the 'Nine Water Demon Beasts' had already caught up with the boat, and they hit the boat with a song, but they were hit by a beam of flames.
"It's my Sima clan." Sima Xuanhuang was taken aback, and ran towards a small boat as he spoke. Zhuge Yixin hurriedly grabbed him, and then let go of his hand again. He whispered, "I'll go with you." Sima Xuanhuang glanced at her with grateful eyes, and the two of them drove a small boat towards the ship quickly. At this moment, a loud "click" was heard from the direction of the ship, followed by countless screams. Some warriors in the Sima clan saw that someone on the shore came to rescue them by boat, and in order to give the rest of the clan hope of survival, they did not hesitate to sacrifice themselves and constantly attacked the 'Nine Water Demon Beasts' to attract its attention. When the last fire on the water disappeared, the 'Nine Heads of Water Demon Beasts' roared and rushed towards the returning boat, just at this moment, I saw a golden light on the sea cliff leaping high, and the 'Nine Heads of Water Demon Beasts' were about to sneak away in shock, Dao Yan held the 'Tianhe Shenzhen' with both hands and struck it hard, and the 'Nine Water Demon Beasts' could not be avoided, so they had to probe two parries. After an earth-shattering howl, the 'Nine Water Demon Beasts' dragged the two incomplete broken heads into the water and fled into the distance.
