Chapter 31: Framed
Qi Lu was surprised when he heard it, he had seen the suffering of these demon souls just now, it was a curse that human beings could not resist, how could he save it! He pretended to be casual and asked, "Who are you waiting for, report your name quickly." ”
The woman who was called Ah Xian by the demon spirits said: "We are the water demons who have cultivated into the essence of the West Lake, and we offended the monks thousands of years ago, so that the soul has been ruined and I have not been able to return to the underworld. ”
It's been a thousand years, isn't that what happened in the Song Dynasty? Qi Lu was shocked and asked, "What did you do to suffer this ordeal?" ”
"Well, it's a long story." Ah Xian said quietly: "Originally, I just lived in Shuifu and concentrated on cultivating, but I didn't know that Fahai, the host of Jinshan Temple, kidnapped Xu Xian, and Sister Bai went to Zhenjiang to find a husband. At Jinshan Temple, they started a fight because of a verbal disagreement. I waited for the past, and Sister Bai was very kind to us, so I went to help her. In the end, it caused the water to flood the gold mountain, and the lives were ruined......"
Isn't this the matter of Xu Xian and the White Lady? Qi Lu couldn't help but look at Xu Xian behind him, and found that his face was flushed, and he didn't dare to look at those demon spirits when he lowered his head.
Qi Lu thought to himself, it seemed that these demon spirits were not lying, so he asked again, "Then what happened?" ”
The woman said hatefully: "Fahai's old bald donkey saw that he was unable to fight the enemy, and actually invited the heavenly soldiers and generals to come to help, resulting in Sister Bai being crushed in the Lei Feng Tower, Sister Qing sneaked away, and we were also killed by the heavenly soldiers." Pity me for waiting for a thousand years of cultivation to come to naught, and I will still suffer from this after I die! ”
After saying that, she cried loudly, and several other demon spirits also touched the scene and wept endlessly.
"Real person, you must save us!" Ah Xian kept kowtowing.
"Get up and talk." Qi Lu said: "Although you are pitiful, but you have violated the rules of heaven, and I cannot go against the will of God to rescue you!" ”
"In the past, a myth told me that the incarnation of Xu Xian would come here and save us from the sea of suffering." The woman sighed and said, "But I have been waiting here for more than a thousand years, let alone Xu Gongzi, and I have never even seen a living person." Today's visit to this place must be in response to the will of God, and I hope that you will have great compassion and help me and other painful souls! ”
Xu Xian came to save you? Qi Lu couldn't help but be stunned, and then turned his eyes to Xu Xian, seeing that he still bowed his head and was silent. Lao Wu was not so polite, he pulled Xu Xian by the hand, pulled him in front of these demon spirits, and said, "You asked the wrong person, he is the one who saved you from the sea of suffering." ”
The woman looked Xu Xian up and down, and said hesitantly: "It's a little familiar, isn't this Engong also a profound mage?" ”
"Ah, you don't know him?" Qi Lu was suddenly surprised, he stared at Xu Xian, seeing his eyes dodging, he couldn't help but be a little suspicious, so he pointed at Xu Xian and said to the demon spirits: "He is Xu Xian!" ”
"Is he really Xu Gongzi?" All the demon spirits asked in unison.
"Am I going to lie to you?"
That Xu Xian also agreed, "Well, ah......"
The demon spirits hurriedly bowed their heads and bowed, and Ah Xian said happily: "Master Xu, for the sake of me and my wife to help you, don't leave us alone!" ”
"But...... You are breaking the rules of heaven, how can I disobey the will of God. ”
Lao Wu said coldly on the side: "Didn't the oracle say that you should save them, how can you say that you are violating the rules of heaven if you act according to the oracle." ”
Ah Xian grabbed Xu Xian's sleeve and said, "Master Xu, you can't see death without help!" Besides, if you really want to save it, it is not difficult. ”
Qi Lu found a suspicious point from their conversation, and he frowned and asked, "You don't seem to know Xu Xian himself?" ”
"Yes." Ah Xian nodded and said: "I only practice in the Water Mansion on weekdays, and rarely walk around the world, so naturally I have never met Xu Gongzi." What's more, when Gongzi Xu was flooded with Jinshan, he was locked up in the temple by the old bald donkey and was not allowed to meet Sister Bai, so it was even more difficult for me to see him. ”
Another demon soul also said: "Don't say it's Xu Gongzi, even that damn Fahai, I won't have a chance to meet him." At that time, I just watched him and his two sisters Qingbai fighting in the air from a distance, so I vaguely saw that he was a bald old monk. ”
"Oh, that's what happened, according to that, none of you who helped the monsters have seen Xu Xian." Qi Lu was secretly happy, thinking that these monsters had died unjustly, and they died in a daze without even seeing the face of the enemy.
Xu Xian's face also returned to its normal color, and he asked Ah Xian: "You said that it is not difficult for me to save you, I don't know what the girl means by this?" ”
"Did Xu Gongzi see the basalt stone on the side of the road?"
"Could it be that there is a secret solution to this stone?"
"It's ......" Ah Xian was about to continue, the man in the green shirt before was already secretly pulling the corners of her clothes, Ah Xian suddenly became unhappy and flicked his sleeves. Several other demon spirits also set the man aside, signaling him not to talk too much.
Ah Xian was afraid that the man in the green shirt would still have words, so he hurriedly said to Xu Xian: "It is this stone that imprisons us, as long as the son can remove it before dawn, we will be free." ”
"It's that simple!" Xu Xian sighed with emotion, stepped forward to check this basalt, and found that it was half a person high, and he couldn't hug it alone.
Xu Xian gritted his teeth and leaned over to push the big stone, but the stone only shook slightly. So he stood up and beckoned Qi Lu and Lao Wu to come over to help, those demon spirits seemed to be afraid of the power of this divine stone and did not dare to come closer, but just stretched their necks from a distance to watch the actions of Xu Xian and the others.
Qi Lu and Lao Wu came to the stone and exchanged glances with each other, Qi Lu sneered and said to Xu Xian: "Mr. Xu, you have been fooled!" ”
Seeing Xu Xian's puzzled face, Qi Lu pointed at the woman and shouted, "You dare to deceive us with clever words, you deserve to be punished by God!" This is clearly a sacred stone, and the rock body is full of charms written by the gods, and if ordinary people want to move it, there will be divine punishment! ”
Xu Xian was shocked when he heard this, and after he recited Amitabha Buddha with his palms together, he hurriedly stepped aside.
"You unrepentant beasts, I'm going to beat you to pieces today!" Qi Lu pinched the trick and recited the spell.
"A real person spares his life, the slave family is true." Ah Xian's face was like ashes, and he defended himself: "The real person not only recognizes the divine book, but also knows that the charm on the stone is used to suppress nightmares, how can there be harmful content!" ”
"You demon ......" Qi Lu was about to teach her a lesson, but Lao Wu had stepped forward and whispered: "I have read the content, it is indeed as she said that it is a nightmare curse, and there is no other content." ”
Am I wrong about these spirits? Hearing Lao Wu say this, Qi Lu's face also softened, and he withdrew his hand and said, "In that case, why don't you remove this divine stone?" ”
"How can we spirits have such abilities, we must rely on the power of the living."
"Okay, I'll help you out." Qi Lu rolled up his sleeves and asked Lao Wu and Xu Xian to push the divine stone together.
It took a long time for the three of them to move the stone into place. Qi Lu had just taken a breath and was about to rest, when he suddenly found that the eyes of those demon spirits were shining, especially Ah Xian, who had already laughed wildly and carried away.
"Oh no, I've been tricked!" Qi Ludun knew that the situation was not good, and was about to give them a little punishment, when a thunderbolt suddenly flashed from the low clouds in the sky!
Before Qi Lu came back to his senses, three wooden stakes quietly rose behind the three of them, and a rope stretched out from each of them, quickly holding the necks of Qi Lu and the three of them firmly. Qi Lu's feet suddenly took off, his body was taken off the ground, and even his breathing became rapid.
"Haha! Let you be like a ghost, and you also drank the old lady's footwashing water! All the demon spirits gathered forward, all watching Qi Lu's jokes.
"Damn, when Lao Tzu comes down, I have to kill you!" Qi Lu struggled to untie the blue-glowing rope around his neck with his hands.
"Everyone, just wait for death." The woman smiled and said, "This rope is not a mortal thing, it is a lifeline that can bind the soul. Don't say it's you, even if the gods come, there is no way to untie it. ”
Qi Lu was shocked when he heard this, knowing that he had fallen into a trap and became their substitute ghost. He grabbed the rope with both hands and lifted his body up to avoid being quickly strangled.
The man in the green shirt sighed lightly and said, "Alas, what is the trouble of us, we can only add to our sins. ”
Ah Xian was unhappy, she pointed at Xu Xian and scolded: "This surnamed Xu is cowardly and afraid of death, if he hadn't attracted the old bald donkey, how could we have suffered such a sin!" This is all providential, and it is only fitting for him to be our substitute ghost. ”
A demon spirit interjected, "That being said, but there are seven of us, and there are only three of them, so who is going to be reincarnated first?" ”
When the demon souls heard him say this, they were immediately silent.
After a long time, the man in the green shirt said to Ah Xian: "You are weak, you can't stand such suffering, so you can be reincarnated first, and we will discuss it separately." The other spirits nodded in agreement.
"How can that work!" Ah Xian said faintly: "I am like a brother, how can I leave you to take the first step and go together." ”
The man in the green shirt wanted to persuade him again, but another demon spirit spoke, "This matter is not difficult, let's trap the souls of these three people first, and when we have gathered enough seven substitute ghosts, it is not too late for us to reincarnate together." ”
"Brother Xian's words are very much in line with me, but this matter must be kept secret and not known by others."
When Qi Lu heard their words, he couldn't help laughing, "You little demons, you are quite righteous, but you made a mistake in your wishful thinking!" ”
"Don't show off your tongue here, if you say one more word, I'll eat you!" Ah Xian's face has turned into a fish demon, and his bloody mouth is closing.
Qi Lu suddenly ripped off the pendant around his neck, he shouted, and the ornament turned into a golden sword in his hand, only to see Qi Lu raise his hand, and Huo Ran cut the rope that strangled his neck. Following him, with lightning speed, he swung his sword and cut off all the ropes that hung Lao Wu and Xu Xian.
"Demons, let me die!" Qi Lu formed the Five Thunder Seal in his hand, and recited a spell in his mouth. "Tianxuan Taiyi, eliminate demons and evil, break!"
In an instant, a large net fell from the sky, covering all these demon souls into the net!
