Chapter 19: The Youkai Who Eats Children
"Up!"
As Song Ziyang let out a clear drink, a spirit sword came out of his hand, flew into the air, and instantly transformed into a giant sword that could carry hundreds of people.
The greatsword hummed and slowly fell to the ground.
Song Ziyang took the five major peaks disciples, stepped on the hilt of the sword, the imperial sword rose into the air, broke through the clouds, and soon left the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and appeared dozens of kilometers away.
Only monks who have reached the late stage of the Qi refining period can move with the sword.
Most of the disciples who went down the mountain to do the task this time were only in the middle or early stages of the Qi refining period, and there were only a few in the later stage.
Moreover, the sword consumes extremely spiritual power in the body, and there is not much spiritual power in the realm of the Qi refining period.
Therefore, this Uncle Song's giant sword has become their walking tool.
When he arrived at the first village infested with monsters, Song Ziyang commanded the giant sword to land, handed over this first task to the three disciples of Jiuxia Peak, and said solemnly: "The monsters in this village are only in the middle of the Qi refining period at most, and the three of you are enough to deal with." I will give you three days, and after three days, regardless of whether the task is completed or not, you must leave and go to the North Gate Square of Luoyan City to assemble. ”
"Yes! Teacher! ”
The three disciples of Jiuxia Peak respectfully agreed, then got off their swords and walked into the village.
The greatsword lifts into the air and continues on its way.
When he arrived at the second village, Song Ziyang's eyes looked at Luo Fei and the others, and said, "The monsters in this village may be in the middle realm, or they may be in the late stage. You go and try it first, if you can't take it, three days later, go to Luoyan City to do some calculations. Remember, don't force it, your life is the most important thing. ”
"Yes! Teacher! ”
Chu Yifeng arched his hand and took Luo Fei and Qian Yueli off the sword.
Su Yan looked at Luo Fei's back, reluctant, and wanted to tell him to be careful, but he felt too presumptuous, so he had to give up.
The greatsword rose into the air again and continued to move forward.
Chu Yifeng took the two into the village, found the village chief, explained his intentions, and was immediately warmly welcomed by the village chief.
The village chief was an old man in his sixties, with gray hair, a cane, and a rickety body, looking quite old.
"Three immortals, that monster often appears at night, and eats children. According to the villagers who saw it, the monster had a sharp horn on its head, its body was full of red scales, and it dragged a tail behind it, and it walked and swayed, looking terrifying, and it would make a child's laughter......"
The village chief described the monster with a pale face, and then took out a red scale from the drawer tremblingly, and said, "This scale is the one that the monster fell, three immortals take a look." ”
Chu Yifeng carefully took it in his hand, observed it carefully, and handed it to Qian Yueli again, and said suspiciously: "I've never seen this kind of monster, little junior sister, have you ever seen it?" ”
Qianyueli shook her head slightly.
Chu Yifeng was about to put away the scales, Luo Fei reached out and grabbed them, put them under his nose and sniffed them, then looked up, and saw a cup of freshly brewed hot tea on the table, so he immediately walked over and threw the scales into the cup.
When Chu Yifeng was about to stop it, the scales had already soaked into the water, and the tea in the cup suddenly "boomed", picking up a splash, and then it seemed to be boiling, and it tumbled violently.
The old village chief was startled, and opened his mouth to stammer: "This ...... This ......"
Soon, the boiling stopped, and the tea in it suddenly decreased rapidly, and then, it all disappeared!
And the red scales in the cup became even more bright red like blood, and it looked extremely demonic.
The old village chief retreated in fright.
This thing is so terrifying, he actually puts it in the room, and plays with it a few times from time to time.
"Seventh Senior Brother, do you know this scale?"
Chu Yifeng immediately asked.
Qianyueli's eyes, in the dim light, flashed brightly, and she looked closely at the young man in front of her.
Luo Fei poured the scales out of the cup and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the scales of the Leaping Dragon Demon Carp." ”
"Leaping Dragon Demon Carp?"
Chu Yifeng was stunned when he heard this, looked at Qianyueli next to him, and said, "How come I have never heard of this kind of monster?" ”
Qian Yueli said softly, "I've never heard of it either. ”
Luo Fei played with the scales in his hand and explained: "It is said that in the deepest part of many waters, there is a dragon gate, and the water spirits who have been cultivated can become demons as long as they jump over that dragon gate, and they can easily travel between water and land. The leaping dragon demon carp is just a very low-level little demon. ”
Chu Yifeng and Qian Yueli both heard these things for the first time, and their faces were full of surprise.
"Seventh Senior Brother knows a lot."
Chu Yifeng admired it sincerely, paused, and said with a solemn expression: "However, according to what Uncle Song said, that monster is likely to be in the middle or late stage of qi refining, and it can't be regarded as a little demon, so we must be careful." ”
Luo Fei looked at the village chief with a frightened face and asked, "Are there rivers and lakes near this village?" ”
The old village chief hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, just a mile west of the village, there is a river, the river is very deep, almost every year can drown a few people, not only children, but also adults. ”
Luo Fei's eyes flashed and said, "Take us to have a look." ”
The old village chief showed a look of embarrassment on his face, raised his crutches, and said: "The road is not very easy to walk, and the legs and feet of the old man are not convenient, otherwise, the old man will go to the village to help you call someone to lead the way." However, at this time, it is estimated that everyone is preparing dinner. ”
It was dusk, the sun was about to set, and the village was full of smoke, and it was time for cooking.
Chu Yifeng immediately said: "Village chief, there's no need, the one-mile road is not too far, we can go by ourselves." ”
The old village chief said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, it's useless, and I can't help the three immortals, hey." ”
"It's okay, you just rest at home, it's best to inform the people in the village first, don't go out tonight, stay at home, close the door."
Chu Yifeng admonished, and left with Luo Fei and Qian Yueli.
The three of them greeted the sunset, and soon came to the river.
The river is wide, with fields on both sides, winding like a snake at the end and end, and I don't know where it flows, and the water surface is muddy, and I can't see the depth.
"Senior Brother Luo, the leaping dragon demon carp you said can really appear in such a river?"
Chu Yifeng asked with some suspicion.
It's just a very ordinary river, and the water quality is very bad, so it's not an ideal environment for youkai to survive.
Qian Yueli suddenly walked to the grass next to her, picked up something from the ground, and said, "Senior brother, look. ”
Chu Yifeng hurriedly walked over, and when he looked closely, he saw a red scale armor.
He suddenly changed color and said, "It's exactly the same as the village chief's scale armor!" That monster is hiding at the bottom of the river! ”
With that, he pulled out the sword behind his back and shouted at the muddy river: "Demon! Don't show up yet! ”
Luo Fei reluctantly turned around and prepared to leave.
This senior brother's mind is so simple, he has been blind and cultivated for so many years, you are a monster that you are raised, and if you ask him to show up, he will appear?
"Wow!"
At this moment, a wave suddenly flew out of the river, and immediately, a big fish with a bright red body jumped out of the water and shouted, "Who is calling you grandpa?" ”
Luo Fei paused, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
The current monsters, are they all like this?
