Volume 2: Mao'er Mountain Chapter 89: Varied
Xiao Yuecheng Rat Demon had not yet woken up from the dizziness, and used a immobilization spell to freeze its body.
After a while, the rat demon woke up, found that he couldn't move, and was very frightened, and said: "Two great immortals, the little demon is sincere in his cultivation and has never done anything evil, please spare the little demon's life once." ”
Xiao Yue and Amu saw that although this rat demon was cultivated into a refinement, there was no evil spirit of a goblin on his body, and they had no intention of hurting it, but they had eaten the cat demon and coaxed it many times, so they should not take things lightly and should be very cautious.
Xiao Yue said: "You don't practice well, what are you doing here?" ”
The rat demon said: "Alas, the little demon is really bitter and can't be said, this place was originally where I practiced, but a cat demon came more than two months ago, and its spell was higher than mine, and it robbed me of this place." ”
Xiao Yue and Amu couldn't help but feel shocked and asked, "This place was originally where you practiced?" ”
"Yes."
Amu said: "Then what are you doing here today?" Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the cat demon? ”
The rat demon said: "Don't hide it from the two immortals, after I was driven out by the cat demon, I have always held a grudge against it, and this place is really a good place to practice, better than other places, I really don't want to be willing to this place, so I sneaked in today to check the situation, but I don't want the cat demon to be here, I thought it moved away, who knew that I was happy when I met the two immortals, and then was caught, needless to say, the cat demon did a lot of evil, extremely cruel, must have been subdued by the two immortals?" ”
Xiao Yue and Amu didn't know that there was such a grudge between this rat demon and the cat demon, and they were very surprised, they thought that this rat demon was with the cat demon, but they didn't expect that they were also enemies.
Xiao Yue asked, "How long have you been practicing here?" ”
The rat demon said: "It's been thousands of years. ”
It turned out that this rat demon was a little goblin in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, because he inadvertently ate a golden fruit, suddenly the qi veins penetrated, and a warm air around his body turned around, and then it skyrocketed to a meter high, and he could walk independently, and he could also speak, and he was a child of seven or eight years old, and he became a fine since then.
It has been cultivating in the mountains, and has experienced the prosperity and decline of many dynasties, and has withered until the reform and opening up for thousands of years.
The rat demon knows how to clean himself very well, adheres to the rules of the Tao, and in addition to usually working and practicing in the mountains and going out to play, he never goes down the mountain to the world, nor does he rely on his supernatural powers to harm the civilians.
Sometimes the woodcutter who goes up the mountain to chop wood encounters wild beasts, tigers and wolves in the mountains, and will secretly help them drive away the animals and birds, so that the woodcutter can go down the mountain safely.
Who knew that more than two months ago, the cat demon came to this place, found this cave, drove the rat demon away, and used it as his lair.
The rat demon has lived and practiced in this cave for thousands of years, how can he finish his feelings for this place in a sentence or two? It naturally had to find a way to take the nest back, but its spell was too weak, it was not the opponent of the cat demon, and it couldn't practice the evil method to increase its mana quickly, so it couldn't snatch the nest back from the cat demon in a short time.
On this day, it really missed the nest too much, so it sneaked in to comfort its heart, and it didn't want to meet Xiao Yue and the two of them by coincidence, it was really fate.
Xiao Yue and Amu knew that it did not have a demon heart like the cat demon, so they eliminated the vigilance in their hearts, put away the immobilization spell, and the rat demon said: "Thank you two great immortals for sparing the life of the little demon." ”
Xiao Yue said: "Let me ask you, does this cat demon have any other comrades?" ”
The rat demon said: "No, it has been living here alone since it seized my lair, but I hear the wind, and it often goes down the mountain to kill the villagers in this area." ”
It sighed and said: "The villagers here are honest and pure, and they have always been violated by the cat demon in the past two months, which is really miserable, but it is a pity that the little demon is shallow, and there is nothing that can be done to stop its evil deeds." ”
Xiao Yue and Amu saw that its tone was sincere and down-to-earth, and they knew that although it was a demon, it had a benevolent and pure heart, which was really rare.
Xiao Yue said: "The cat demon has been subdued by us, but now there is a wicked person in the village, we don't know if this wicked person who killed the villagers is a goblin or a human, we think that the cat demon has a party, so we will come here again to check, I don't want you to meet you, and treat you as a fellow party of the cat demon." ”
The rat demon said: "You really subdued the cat demon? ”
Amu said: "The little monk subdued it with his own hands and burned it to death with the fire in the Buddhist house." After speaking, he said Buddha.
The rat demon shook his head and said, "I see that you have all been deceived by the cat demon." ”
Xiao Yue and Amu were surprised: "How can you see it? ”
The rat demon said: "The two immortals don't know, this cat demon is not only scheming and cunning, but also has vast magical powers and is impermanent, it is good at change, not to mention, the most important thing is that it has nine lives." ”
"What?" Xiao Yue and Amu couldn't help but be surprised, "It has nine lives? "I don't believe it.
The rat demon said: "Yes, I guess you didn't know its secret at first, so when you subdued it, you didn't guard against it from escaping as a primordial spirit." I see that this great immortal is put into the lotus lamp and burned to death by the fire in the Buddha's house, and it must be his body. ”
Xiao Yue and Amu looked at each other, and the two were speechless for a long time.
They never dreamed that the cat demon would have nine lives, no wonder when Amu burned it with the fire in the Buddhist house, he didn't even scream in pain, but it turned out that it was an empty shell that was burned.
The rat demon said, "After its primordial god escapes, as long as it finds a human body as a host, it can be reborn. ”
Xiao Yue said: "So the cat demon must still be alive now?" ”
The rat demon said: "I'm sure that eighty percent of it is still alive, but it has just turned into someone else's appearance, you don't know, and it is good at concealing evil qi, even a person with advanced cultivation like the two great immortals can't detect the demonic energy on its body." ”
Xiao Yue realized something and asked, "You mean, the cat demon is good at changing human forms?" It doesn't matter who it is, it can change? ”
The rat demon said, "Not bad. ”
Xiao Yue and Amu looked at each other again, they had the same idea in their hearts.
"The cat demon must have taken on the appearance of someone in the village, pretending to be a villager to hide in order to commit murder."
It's a seamless ploy.
If it weren't for the rat demon reminding them, absolutely no one would have thought that the cat demon would hide beside them in the form of someone else.
But there are at least hundreds of people in the village, and who knows whose form it has become?
Anyway, their efforts to go up the mountain this time were not in vain, at least they knew that the cat demon was not dead, and it was hidden by their side.
When Xiao Yue and Amu went down the mountain and returned to the village, it was just a bright day, and the autumn morning was bitterly cold, and the villagers were still asleep.
For two days, Xiao Yue and Amu had no clue.
Although they knew that the cat demon was hiding in the village, they didn't have a clear goal, and they really didn't know how to go about it.
That afternoon, at dusk, Xiao Yue and Amu were discussing at the village chief's house, and Xu Laimin hurriedly ran in and said that something had happened to his daughter.
Xiao Yue and Amu jumped up from their chairs, and hurriedly left the village chief's house and came to Xu Laimin's house.
