Chapter 171: The Fake Maitreya
"Now tell us about it! What the hell did Master Maitreya do in this village to make you so angry! โ
Seeing that the villagers who had tied Maitreya tightly and threw it under the big tree finally calmed down, Kagome immediately saw the opportunity to ask.
"Of course, what we have done is a very hateful thing, otherwise we would not be so angry with a mage!"
With the narration of the villagers in charge, Inuyasha and they finally know what happened.
It turned out that Master Maitreya had come to this village alone before, and he also peddled a lot of imperial notes to the villagers, such as making a fortune, getting married, having children, keeping peace and so on! The mouth of those runes boasted of the sky, and buy one get one free. Since the reputation of Maitreya and his party has gradually spread to all parts of Japan, they also learned from the travelers that there is indeed a powerful Maitreya Master who slays demons and destroys demons, and his appearance is exactly the same as in the legend, so the pure villagers believe in the words of the mage and buy those rune papers.
"You shameless mage, you trick us into buying some useless talismans with all your rhetoric!"
"And what! But if that's all there is to it, at most we will be cheated out of some money, and we won't be so angry! I kindly entertained him for dinner and lodging, but he seduced my daughter! โ
"Yes, yes, bewitch the girls in the village, thanks to you, the girls in the village have become like that!"
The villagers exposed Maitreya's actions in this village one after another, and the last villager even pointed to the girls who were stopped outside by the male villagers and looked at Maitreya with eyes, telling Maitreya's evil deeds with facts.
"Ahh Master Maitreya looks so handsome when he is tied! โ
"What! Hurry up and let Master Maitreya go! โ
"Yes, yes! We also have to help Venerable Maitreya teach children! โ
Listening to the girls' words, looking at the male villagers with jealousy burning in their eyes, Inuyasha had a bead of sweat dripping from their foreheads. It seems that the truth has been confirmed!
Merely......
"What! Isn't that what Maitreya used to do? โ
Qibao spoke the hearts of everyone in one word.
"But this is the first time this has happened! Besides, this guy hasn't been as popular with girls as he was before! โ
Coral unceremoniously pointed out the suspicions.
"Not only that, although Maitreya does like to deceive sometimes, his mana is real, and it is impossible to deceive people with these useless waste papers!"
"Yes, this is my first time in this village! How could such a thing be done! โ
It was a matter of his own reputation and life, and Maitreya only didn't hear the prickly words of Coral and Inuyasha, and nodded in response with a smirk.
"I'm still lying, yesterday and today, are these runes we bought and those bewitched girls fake? Let's beat him up! โ
"Wait, just now, you talked about yesterday and today!"
It should be okay now, and Fence Wei, who knew the plot, immediately jumped out of the question in the villagers' words.
"Yes! Master Maitreya was with us yesterday and today, and it is impossible for him to come back to your village to deceive people! โ
Kagome took a step slower and noticed the contradiction. There is only one Maitreya, and he stays with them, so the Maitreya who deceived the villagers must be fake!
"But who can prove that what you say is true, and not to shield him from deceiving us again!"
"Then what evidence do you have to prove that that man is indeed Maitreya! If there is no evidence, then you are wronging us, I ...... I'm not going to be kind to you! โ
Inuyasha stepped forward and took a heavy step on the ground, and the hard ground immediately cracked a few cracks, causing the villagers to take a few steps back in fright. If the reason doesn't make sense, you can only use force to drive it out! Now that he knew that Maitreya had been wronged, Inuyasha, who hated trouble, would not be polite to these villagers who did not distinguish between right and wrong.
"Hmph, you want proof, and that's the evidence!"
When the frightened villagers heard Inuyasha's words, they became uplifted, and each took out a leaf from his bosom and held it high in the air.
"Leaves!"
Kagome and the others looked at the leaves held by the villagers in surprise, their faces full of incredulity, and they didn't know why the villagers gathered the leaves in that place.
"How is it possible, how can it turn into leaves, it's obviously rune paper!"
"That's right! When I bought it, it was obviously rune paper here, and strange symbols were drawn, how could it turn into leaves! โ
However, the villagers seemed even more surprised than Kagome, staring at the leaves in their hands.
"Hahaha...... Now the mystery has been solved, let me go, I already know who is the liar who is pretending to be me! โ
Maitreya looked at the leaves in the hands of the villagers, but his face showed a look of sudden realization, and he confidently asked the villagers to untie his ropes.
"The leaves are an important prop for us little monsters to cast spells and illusions, and the guy who came out of Maitreya must also be a monster with weak demon power!"
Qibao jumped forward, took the leaves of the villagers, and slammed into a piece of rune paper, and then immediately changed back into it, put it on his head, and slammed into Maitreya again!
Seeing this scene, the villagers finally came to their senses, what Inuyasha said just now was indeed the truth, they were deceived by a monster pretending to be a Maitreya mage, and this one is true.
Seeing that the truth had been revealed, Inuyasha also stepped forward and untied Maitreya who was tied up.
"That's it! Let's catch up quickly, since that guy hasn't gone far yet, if he catches up now, he should be able to catch up! โ
"Who?"
"Ahba! Think about it, there is no second person except Ah Ba who knows me very well and can imitate me! โ
"It's the tanuki!"
Listening to the conversation between Kagome and Maitreya, Inuyasha immediately came to his senses, the tanuki that had been following behind Maitreya was indeed a little monster who was not strong in mana, but was good at illusion. Since the other party had just left, if they quickened their pace now, they would indeed be able to catch up soon.
I've roughly guessed the true identity of the other party! After Inuyasha and the villagers explained it clearly, they immediately chased in the direction where the fake Maitreya had left. Liwei also took this opportunity to let Yanzhu get on her bicycle, and followed side by side with Kagome, who was anxious to prove his innocence.
I haven't seen a village for a long time, probably because people are gathered in this area! Soon, the next village arrived. And when Maitreya entered the village, the villagers all looked at Maitreya with amazement.
"Master Maitreya, didn't you go to the cave to get rid of the demons? How here! โ
"Sure enough! Fortunately, it's still in time! โ
Maitreya's clear look on his clothes finally caught up! Before he had time to calm his breath, he immediately asked the villagers who greeted him:
"Where's the cave?"
"Ahh Just walk along the trail in the back mountain, not just ......"
"Let's go quickly, if it's really Ah Ba, he doesn't have any demon power, and it's definitely not an opponent when he meets a real monster!"
"Hmm!"
Hachi also helped them several times, and sometimes when they went home farther, Hachi flew them back with them, so Inuyasha and the others were a little worried when they heard that Aba was in danger, and immediately followed Maitreya to the cave in the back mountain. Outside the cave, there are still a few villagers guarding it.
"Agnรจ! How is it Master Maitreya, Master Maitreya has indeed entered the cave just now! โ
"Have you already gone in! That stupid! Let's hurry inside! โ
"Hmm!"
Hearing that the villagers had already entered the cave, Maitreya and Inuyasha immediately rushed into the cave.
"Stupid tanuki, you dare to lie to me, I will never forgive you!"
"Ah...... I'm so sorry, please spare me! โ
"Those words, you should have said those to me!"
Just in time for Maitreya and his party, they happened to see a monster similar to a tanuki preparing to eat Ah Ba, who had already shown his original form. Of course, Maitreya also heard Aba's words begging for mercy from the tanuki monster. Thanks to his gift, Maitreya, who had suffered so much, immediately interrupted Aba's plea for mercy.
"Huh?"
"Who?"
Hearing the unexpected sound, Ah Ha stopped crying, and the tanuki monster also twisted its huge head to look around, and the two monsters immediately found Maitreya and his party standing on a high place.
"Lord Maitreya!"
Seeing the appearance of Maitreya and his party, Ah Ba was moved to tears again.
The little life was finally saved!
"It's been a long time! Eight! Looks like we'll need to have a good chat later! โ
Maitreya looked down at Ah Ba with a sneer, looking at him like a savior, he would not be fooled by Ah Ba's tears.
"Humph! Is it a tanuki's companion? Do you think that by becoming like these people, you can deceive me? โ
The huge tanuki monster looked at the Maitreya group above with contempt, of course he had heard about Maitreya's group from other monsters, but with the experience of Ah Ba, he thought that the other party was still the same tanuki as Ah Ba, so he naturally had a big tone.
"Hey! Tanuki over there! โ
"I've already said I'm a weasel!"
Hearing Maitreya call him, the tanuki ...... No! The weasel monster was angry again, whether it was the villagers or Ah Ba, who was a monster, they all turned him into a tanuki, and he was treated as a tanuki one after another, and no matter how good his temper was, he would be exhausted, let alone a weasel.
"That kind of thing doesn't matter! Seeing that there is no evil qi on your body, it should not have hurt humans yet, so you should obediently go back to the mountains! I don't like violence against you monsters who haven't committed evil deeds! โ
"Hmph, you are, a bunch of tanuki are trying to lie to me! Go to hell! โ
Believing that Maitreya was a tanuki, the weasel monster in disguise immediately jumped up from the ground and pounced on Maitreya and them.
"Even if you say it, you don't understand!"
It was not only the villagers who were deceived, but even this weasel was completely deceived! Since you can't understand it, you can only speak with facts! Maitreya chuckled lightly and quickly spread his right hand, the unique wind point is the best proof of his identity!
"Wind Cave!"
Suddenly, a huge suction force came out from the black hole in the palm of Maitreya's right hand, and the powerful wind sucked the sand and stones below and the weasel monster that had thrown itself into the net into his palm.
"Ahh Oops, it's the real Maitreya! I was wrong, Lord Maitreya, please spare me, I don't dare anymore! Ah......h
Squeak squeak......
The weasel monster that instantly hugged a rock below when he saw the wind cave, under the strong suction, the sharp claws left deep scratches on the rock, but that was just delaying time. Immediately, he was hit in the head by a stone that had been sucked up by the wind, and flew towards the wind cave.
"You can understand, that's for the best!"
Seeing that the weasel monster had indeed been taught a lesson, Maitreya put away the wind hole. A
