Chapter 017: Fu Demon
As for the roasted sweet potatoes, I really can't eat them, so I simmer them in charcoal ash and eat them when I'm hungry.
Today, the snack bar is closed for a day, and there is no need to prepare ingredients, Qin Fei and Chu Youlan are rarely free, so they found a reclining chair to lean on their food and chat about something.
"By the way, Brother Qin, when I went out in the morning, I heard that there were demons in Bishui County next door, and many people were eaten by monsters. Chu Youlan found a topic.
I personally experienced a supernatural event last night, and it is quite reasonable for monsters to eat people, Qin Fei asked, "What kind of monster?"
"I don't know, it's pretty powerful anyway, it is said that the Taoist priests of Longyang Mountain have died several times in order to catch this monster. Chu Youlan looked scared.
"Well, I didn't go out much these two days. Qin Fei admonished and went upstairs to rest.
Eat and sleep, why do you have so much heart, there is a tall top when the sky falls.
......
Located in the upper reaches of the Yunjiang River, the Bishui River is one of the many tributaries of the Yunjiang River.
Although the scale is not large, according to the county records, it can be traced back to thousands of years of history.
It can be regarded as a thousand-year-old county.
It's just that recently, there has been a demon in Bishui County, and people are panicking, and the county order invited the Taoist priest of Longyang Mountain to catch the demon, but the true appearance of the monster has not yet been seen, and several Taoist priests have died.
The leader of the team, Ziding Zhenren, couldn't sit still, the casualties were small, if he couldn't subdue the demon in the end, and smashed the signboard of Longyang Mountain, how could he be worthy of the ancestors and ancestors?
But Ziding Zhenren is not reckless, and ordered someone to find the county records of Bishui County to consult, generally speaking, this kind of big demon who is a disaster will definitely leave a mark in history.
The county government, as well as the gentry of ten miles and eight townships, stayed up all night to check the county records, not to mention, they really found some clues.
The county chronicle says that a hundred years ago, there was a prostitution hall in Bishui County.
By the way, the prostitution hall is different from the Qinglou, which is the lowest Fengyue place, regardless of the guests, and you can have fun if you have money.
There is a girl in this prostitution hall, whose name is gone. Although the name is cold and arrogant, he is an uninhibited slut, and the legend is that he can be the same as the nine men.
At that time, there was a young man in the county, named Yang Liu, and his descendants were called Yang Gong, the champion of high school, and he returned to his hometown in fine clothes.
This gentleman didn't see that he coveted Yang Gong's fame and wealth, so he shamelessly said that he wanted to marry him as his wife, and even went to the door to cry and make trouble.
Yang Gong was furious, angrily reprimanded the other party for not knowing etiquette, righteousness and shame, and he was so ashamed that he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, hoping to be a clean person in the next life.
For this paragraph, the county chronicle has a few sentences.
According to the general truth, it is impossible for the Fengyue woman to be included in the county chronicles, but it is only because this gentleman has a story with Yang Gong that it has been recorded.
Of course, the purpose of recording this paragraph is also to praise Yang Gong's subtle words and righteousness, and to persuade people to be good.
However, Ziding Zhenren said: "The monster in Bishui County has nothing to do with this woman. ”
Everyone expressed their puzzlement, thousands of people were recorded in the county annals, and there were a lot of strange stories, why did Ziding Zhenren think that this gentleman was not related to monsters.
Ziding Zhenren explained: "I have deduced it with the Liuding Liujia technique, and the people killed by the monsters are all descendants of the Yang family. ”
A gentry surnamed Yang was angry on the spot: "The county chronicle remembers clearly, it was the woman who was ashamed of herself and committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, I heard you mean that Yang Gong forced her to death, so she came to seek revenge?"
"The Yang family is originally a wang clan in Bishui County, and any one of them is surnamed Yang, of course the victims are all members of the Yang family, how can they deduct the basin on the Yang family!"
Many people present protested.
Ziding Zhenren swept away the dust, and his voice was cold: "How many of the things recorded in the county chronicles are true, how many are false, and the penmanship of the Spring and Autumn Period, I think you know better than me." ”
"Anyway, in the end, it's not me who the monster wants to hurt, you think clearly before you talk to me. ”
Ziding Zhenren said and pretended to leave, and the clansman surnamed Yang gritted his teeth and hurriedly grabbed him: "Dao Chief, we will listen to you what you say." As long as this demon is killed, the Yang clan will be rewarded heavily!"
Ziding Zhenren snorted coldly: "Two apprentices died on this trip, so I want five hundred taels of gold." In addition, find six boys and six virgins from the Yang clan, and the poor Dao will use this to lay a trap to catch demons!"
"This ......" The Yang clan members looked at each other, five hundred taels of gold was a huge amount of money.
However, the Yang family is flourishing and has accumulated a huge amount of wealth, but it can be scraped together, but it is just to take six boys and girls as bait, who can give it up?
"Rest assured, the poor will save their lives. ”
Under the repeated assurances of Ziding Zhenren, several elders of the Yang family reluctantly agreed.
......
It's night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and it can be said that you can't see your fingers.
On the banks of the Bishui River, a pile of firewood was burned, and the flames soared into the sky, barely dispelling the inky darkness.
Six boys and six girls were tied up and wept.
After a dazzling operation, Ziding Zhenren opened the altar, and shouted to the Bishui River: "You don't see, Poor Dao knows your identity, and knows your grievances, and is willing to act as an intermediary to resolve your century-old grievances with the Yang family!"
As soon as these words came out, a sudden wind blew violently, and the sky-high fire seemed to be suppressed by something, almost extinguished, and the whole audience was darkened.
"I know you're here, show up!" Ziding Zhenren's palms were a little sweaty, and his eyes were staring directly at the river.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a sound of rustling in the grass by the river, and a big black cat jumped out.
The black cat is dark all over, as if it has been smeared with ink, and its eyes glow green.
The black cat opened its mouth, but it was not a cat meow, but a woman's voice: "Stinky Taoist, how can you reconcile these hundred-year-old grievances?"
Lying in the groove, it turned out to be a cat demon, and I thought it was a water ghost, Ziding Zhenren hurriedly adjusted his body and faced the black cat: "Poor Dao is a disciple of Xuanyang Heavenly Master, and he cultivates the Three Qing Righteous Method, and he is in charge of heaven, earth, people, gods and ghosts, do you say he is qualified?"
"Of course, Poor Dao doesn't want to be rough with you today, let's be reasonable, the so-called grievances should be resolved rather than settled, even if you have a great hatred with that Yang Gong at the beginning, you have already killed seven or eight Yang family members, it is better to write it off. ”
The black cat's expression became more and more fierce: "Write it off?
"That willow bears me, and I once made an oath and an alliance, so I sold myself to a prostitution hall to save tuition for it. Unexpectedly, when he became famous, he turned his face and denied people, scolded me for being a slut who was not worthy of him, and drowned me in the river with his own hands. ”
"My resentment is hard to get rid of, my soul is wandering, and by chance, I entered the body of a cat, slept in the open air, absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, and waited for this day. ”
There were some tears in the black cat's eyes, but they were fleeting, and then they became ruthless: "Now, I'm here to collect debts." According to what the negative person said, if he violates his oath, he will cut off his children and grandchildren, and heaven and earth will learn from him, how dare you stop me?"
As soon as the words fell, there was a thunderclap in the sky.
God did not deter the cat demon, but told the Ziding real person not to interfere, this is the will of heaven.
Ziding Zhenren frowned, things were more complicated than imagined, who would have thought that Yang Gong would make such a heavy oath.
"Dao Chief, you promised to save my Yang family!" Several Yang clan elders present were trembling with feat, and hurriedly requested.
Ziding Zhenren gritted his teeth: "Add another five hundred taels of gold." ”
Seeing this cat demon, the Yang clan had long been frightened, even if Ziding Zhenren wanted the moon in the sky at this time, he had to agree to come down, and immediately nodded.
Ziding Zhenren said to the cat demon again: "You don't see, God has the virtue of a good life, no matter how bad Yang Gong is, it will not harm his family." ”
"Now, the Yang family sincerely repents and is willing to build a temple for you to make a golden body and offer eternal incense. ”
"If you don't think enough, there are twelve boys and girls here, and you can kill them to vent your anger!"
Before the cat demon could speak, the clan elders were square and hurriedly said, "Dao Chief, you didn't say that before, how can you hurt the lives of the children!"
"Shut up, you have to listen to me now. Ziding real people look righteous and awe-inspiring.
The cat demon also saw this scene in his eyes, how could the Yang family have the slightest sincere repentance, it was purely to catch the ducks on the shelves, so he laughed: "It's okay, I'll accept it." ”
The cat demon walked towards the group of children step by step, and the children were even more frightened and cried.
But when the cat demon came closer, he was moved with compassion again. Even if she killed the Yang family before, she picked out some wicked people who oppressed the good.
Now these children have not experienced the filth of the world, and their eyes are as clear as gems.
In an instant, the cat demon seemed to see a lot.
"Yang family, remember what you said. Eventually, the cat demon turned his head and wanted to leave.
Ziding Zhenren was stunned, his face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "Want to run?"
A huge iron cage suddenly rose from the ground, and the group of children and the cat demon were locked in it.
The cat demon was frightened and wanted to jump out of the iron cage, but a golden wire net fell from the sky.
The golden wire mesh and the iron cage are engraved with a nine-character mantra, and once the cat demon touches it, it will not be able to exert its strength.
"Open the door, or I'll kill these kids!" the cat demon said fiercely, spun around.
Ziding Zhenren was unmoved: "In order to kill you, this demon, some sacrifices are inevitable!"
The cat demon let out a fierce roar, and black air gushed all over its body, and began to violently pound the cage.
"Call me, don't let this demon run away!" Ziding Zhenren gave an order, and many disciples were like arrows.
With a bang, two pillars of the cage were knocked and bent, and black gas leaked out of it, heading straight to the east, leaving a trail of blood.
"The cat demon has been greatly injured, and all the disciples will follow me to pursue!" Ziding Zhenren held the green steel sword in his hand and ran majestically in front.
......
The cat demon originally wanted to run into the deep mountains and old forests, but was blocked by those Taoist priests, and went all the way forward to Yunjiang County.
There were many pedestrians on the street, and you didn't see the east hiding in Tibet, and when you saw that the door of a shop was closed, you turned over and went in.
"Who?" Qin Fei, as a person who practiced martial arts, was deaf and clear-sighted, and immediately heard the movement.
In addition, the last time Yan Zhutou sneaked in, almost causing a catastrophe, Qin Fei was extremely vigilant.
The cat demon couldn't run anymore at this time, so he had an idea and meowed.
"It's a cat. From the attic came the sound of a man making a false alarm.
The cat demon breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, the man in the attic said again: "I like to pet cats the most." ”
He ran downstairs with a clang.
