Volume 1 Chapter 23 The King of Larks (1)
Lan Jiu picked up Dahai Niang with one hand, and saw that the old lady just now had two lines of turbid tears on her face, and she was about to kneel down, and stopped the old lady with the other hand.
"You don't have to do this, we are here to deal with this matter, and we will definitely do our best." Lan Jiu held one in one hand, as if there was nothing in his hand. This spiritual practice is really helpful.
Dahai Niang looked outside the door, lowered her voice and said: "It's all those things that have harmed the king of the hundred spirits, why doesn't this retribution be reported to them?" But if I have to bear these things in the sea, we orphans and widows deserve to be bullied? ”
The old lady wiped away her tears with her sleeve, took two bowls of water and put them on the table, stood quietly aside, and cried again when she heard her daughter-in-law say this.
"Are you saying that the rich people in the village have harmed the king of the larks?" Lan Jiu asked following Dahai Niang's words.
Da Niang's eyes were crooked, obviously full of anger, "What people who have made a fortune, they are all thieves and robbers, those treasures belong to the king of the hundred spirits, but these thieves are cheaper." ”
It turned out that the village chief Baijia had served the king of Bailing for generations, so he changed his surname to Bai, saying that he was grateful for the kindness of the king of Bailing, but in fact, it was also a kind of climbing. The villagers of this lark village are kind to the larks, and the king of the larks naturally protects them, not only has the lark village avoided disasters again and again for thousands of years, but also when someone is sick or in trouble at home, the king of the lark will send some gold and silver to help them tide over the difficulties.
But I didn't expect that in this generation, there is a hundred green mountains in a hundred schools, not to mention the gambling habits, and the mind is still greedy and evil. The family gambled all the money and borrowed a lot of debt. The debt collector was forced to come to the door with a knife several times, and he was really afraid, so he went up the mountain and begged the king of the lark several times, but the king of the lark did not give him a tael of silver, only saying that a person like him would never give him silver if he did not change his dead nature.
At this time, Baicui Mountain hated the king of the hundred spirits, saying that he had served the old bird for thousands of years, and he didn't save him when he died. He learned from his father that the king of larks was not allowed to go to the back mountain on the night of the full moon, so he naturally wanted to go to the back mountain to find out, thinking that the king of larks must have some ulterior secrets, and if he caught the handle, he could blackmail the king of larks for a sum of money.
So Baicui Mountain quietly hid on the mountain before the full moon night, and he listened to the words of a cultivator and gambler, smeared his whole body with bird droppings, and touched the mountain at dawn. Who knew that he fell asleep while hiding from Baicui Mountain, but he didn't expect to be awakened by a golden light.
It turned out that the golden light was a large pile of gold and silver treasures, reflecting the brilliance of the full moon. Baicuishan's eyes were red, but he didn't dare to move, only to see the king of the hundred spirits go to the pile of gold and silver and spit out something, and then left, until the moon went down, it came back and took the thing.
On the second day, Baicuishan swaggered into the casino, borrowed a large amount of silver from the house and the casino, and gambled happily, only saying that at this time next month, all the arrears will be settled with interest. At this time, Baicui Mountain had already regarded the pile of gold and silver of the King of Bailing as his own bag.
Although this Baicui Mountain is greedy, but in the end it is timid, he is afraid of the king of Bailing, so he quietly told this matter to a few iron buddies in the village who are "like-minded" with him, thinking that it would be good for a few more people to be strong and courageous. Those people listened to his description, and their eyes lit up, and who didn't want the huge wealth that came from plainly?
But greed is greed, and everyone in the village knows the ability of the king of larks, so naturally they are all a little afraid. This Baicui Mountain bewitched everyone: "We have fed larks for generations, and we can be regarded as feeding children to the king of larks, don't you count how much grain you need?" When the time comes, we won't take more, each person will take one or two, and the king of the hundred spirits won't be able to find it. You haven't seen it, the gold and silver treasures are piled up like a mountain, and there are more than a dozen pieces missing, and you can't find them. I don't want to eat alone because of our past relationship. You don't want to go and don't force it, but you must never tell anyone about it. ”
Thinking about this, these "like-minded" buddies no longer had any worries, and made up their minds to steal treasures with Baicui Mountain when the moon was full next month.
But you have an iron buddy, he has real relatives, and when it came to the full moon, most of the people in the village hid in the mountains. Baicui Shan vomited blood angrily, but at this time, he didn't even dare to speak loudly, let alone stop these people, he just thought about waiting for himself to rush to the front, and he could grab as much as he could.
Little by little, the silver moon climbed up the mountain, and when it reached the center of the sky, a moonlight poured down like a waterfall. It was shining on a pile of gold and silver mountains in the forest, and instantly reflected a golden light, dazzling, illuminating half of the mountain. Under the laying of the moonlight, the king of the hundred souls walked to the pile of gold and silver step by step, as if the gold and silver under his feet were like dust, he knelt on the ground and muttered to himself for a long time, bowed to the full moon three times, turned his back to the crowd and spit out something, and then left.
Everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them, and they didn't move until they saw Baicui Mountain rushing up to the pile of gold and silver, taking out a huge sack of burlap and starting to load it frantically, and at this moment, everyone moved. As if he didn't know anyone, he threw himself into the pile of gold and silver. Everyone screamed frantically, and there was nothing but greed in their eyes.
"Chirp~" A terrible birdsong suddenly sounded in the mountains, and then a huge bird swooped over, and the giant bird spread its wings and flew under the moonlight, covering the sky and the sun. A middle-aged man in the village held a bead in his hand and looked at the roaring king of the larks with trembling. But I didn't want to suddenly come out of nowhere, and swallow the man and the beads into my belly. The king of the larks instantly fell straight from mid-air as if he had broken his wings, and smashed into the forest with a "bang".
Everyone exclaimed in unison, no longer caring about anything else, and fled in all directions.
After listening to Dahai Niang's words, Lan Jiu became worried. From this point of view, the King of Bailing must have spit out the demon pill and absorbed the light of the full moon for cultivation, and the gold and silver were to reflect the moonlight to strengthen the cultivation effect. But generally, this kind of tuna cultivation will set up a formation to guard against outsiders. I think it must be the soil method of Baicui Mountain that smeared bird droppings, broke the formation of the king of the hundred spirits, gold and silver attracted greedy people, and demon pills attracted greedy snakes. That Wu Shaokui swallowed the demon pill of the king of larks in one gulp, and naturally he had to keep tonifying to digest the demon pill little by little.
From this point of view, even if that Wu Shaokui is an ordinary snake demon, it is not ordinary now. I don't know how much the Demon Pill of the King of Larks has absorbed, so I have to find a way to figure this out quickly.
"Ahem~ Is the sister-in-law of the Wu family here? I'm idle, so I'll come and ask you for a stitch. The stout mother-in-law who had helped the big lady before, holding a rag in her hand, walked in without knocking on the door.
Lan Jiu glanced at the rag, it came really fast, even the props were prepared in such a hurry, this rag is still worth embroidering? I don't think anyone wants to shine shoeshine.
Dahai Niang was trembling with fright. Lan Jiu's fingers moved slightly, and the two bowls of water on the table were empty, and he said as if he didn't see the mother-in-law behind him: "Thank you for the water, Auntie, we still have to check again, I think this Wu Shaokui is just a snake demon, and your sea will be fine." ”
The old lady is old and has seen a lot, and she already understands without Lan Jiu saying it, so she grabbed Dahai Niang's arm to comfort her, and said while wiping her tears: "Then thank you two adults, I wanted you to give us a closer look at the sea, but now I see that the adults are so busy, I don't dare to bother more, just wait for the adults to kill the snake demon, so that we can get better soon." ”
Lan Jiu returned the salute, turned around and walked out with Ah Man, without even looking at the woman.
In the middle of the night, Lan Jiu took Ah Man up the mountain, and not only did she not find Wu Shaokui after going around in the mountains all night, but her brain hurt when she opened her eyes, and she didn't even see a trace of demonic energy.
Lan Jiu squatted in the woods and rubbed his forehead gently. "It's really strange, the demon pill of the king of the hundred spirits should be very powerful, right, why can't you find it everywhere?" She couldn't figure it out.
Ah Man took out two big steamed buns from Lan Jiu's Qiankun bag, and swallowed them one by one: "Is it that the snake demon has already left?" Or just seal up his demonic energy" Although Lan Jiu never said that he could see the demonic energy, but after following her for so long, Ah Man knows Lan Jiu's ability no matter how stupid he is.
"Sealed?" Lan Jiu's eyes rolled: "It shouldn't be, how big a demon must be to seal the demon qi?" At least it's the same as Xuan Xian. ”
"I see." Lan Jiu patted his head: "It's not that it has the ability to seal the demonic energy, it's that it's hiding in the formation of the King of Hundred Spirits, so we can't find it." She thought of the strange stone she had seen with Luo Xun at the bottom of Ningxi Lake before, wasn't it sealed by the formation, if the formation could even seal such a powerful ghost qi, then it would definitely make them unable to find the demon qi.
Lan Jiu didn't have a way to break the formation, but he thought of the method of applying bird droppings before Baicui Mountain, so he decided to draw a gourd and try it out. It's also thanks to the larks that this lark village has raised for so many years before, otherwise there is really no way to easily find so many bird droppings.
After a big meal at the village chief's house, the two of them made up for a whole day's sleep, and after the sky was black, they smeared their whole body with bird droppings and entered the mountain again. This time, Lan Jiu had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and when Ning Ling opened the Heavenly Eye, he saw the cyan demonic qi in the mountains and forests, and there was a faint white demonic qi wrapped around that demonic qi. It's that Wu Zikui, that's right.
"Boom... Boom...... Knock ...... "From afar, I heard the sound of a heavy object falling on the ground. The two held their breath and quietly dived over.
