Chapter XXIV
However, Qi Lu had different thoughts from him, but he didn't want to reveal it to Xu Chunlin too early.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "You said that you have seen the real body of the ghost, can you be sure that it resembles a dragon?" ”
"It looks a lot like a dragon, but there are some subtle differences. Therefore, what our village worships is not a real dragon at all. ”
At this time, Yan Jun, who had been listening to them chatting beside him, lowered his face and said, "Xu Chunlin, there is no evidence, don't slander the divine dragon who once saved the ancestors. ”
"I'm just stating the facts, if you want to destroy this evil spirit that is harming the village, it's not something you can do, and you have to rely on me in the end!"
Yan Jun was so angry that his old face turned red, but Xu Chunlin's next words made him helpless. "Whether your son can survive or not depends on my on-the-spot performance! So in this matter, you'd better not use your title as village chief to press me. ”
Qi Lu suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question: "Does Master Xu know how to paint?" ”
"What are you asking for?" Xu Chunlin looked at Qi Lu suspiciously, unable to guess what medicine he was selling in his gourd, but he still answered the question: "When I was a child, I learned New Year's painting from my father for a period of time, and my level is still okay." ”
Qi Lu was secretly overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up and made his request to him: "Then, please ask Master Xu to draw the image of the divine dragon you have seen on paper and hand it to me, I want to study it." ”
"I don't think it can help you much." Having said that, Xu Chunlin still agreed.
Yan Jun didn't have any readily available pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and other special tools for painting, so he searched the house and found only a pencil and a few sheets of A4 white paper.
Xu Chunlin was not picky, he took the pen and paper and drew it, and with a few strokes, he sketched the head of a dragon, then drew a slender body, and finally he added dragon claws.
As soon as Xu Chunlin put down his pen, Qi Lu could see that he had indeed practiced art, and although the dragon he painted could not be said to be vivid, it was also very vivid. However, Qi Lu was still a little dissatisfied and said, "Can Master Xu draw its features in more detail?" ”
"You think I'm painting landscapes!" Xu Chunlin responded angrily, put down the pencil, and handed the simple painting to Qi Lu.
Qi Lu took over, and his expression gradually became a little dignified, but he quietly handed the painting to Lao Wu and motioned him to put it away.
Seeing that he was interested in the dragon he painted, Xu Chunlin couldn't help but stare at Qi Lu's side face, never seeing what he was thinking in his heart, so he asked, "Xiao Qi, what do you think?" ”
Qi Lu's eyes flashed with an elusive light, and he smiled lightly, and then whispered: "Gao Jian can't say it, I agree with your judgment that this thing is not a ghost but a monster." ”
When Xu Chunlin heard this, his face was smug again, but Qi Lu's next words made him unhappy.
"I don't think that guy is what you say, though."
Xu Chunlin asked, "Why?" ”
"The dragon is an auspicious animal, and it is the length of a hundred scales, how can such a filthy monster like a ghost deserve to have such a holy dragon body."
"You're prejudiced, as far as I know, the mirage also has a dragon body, but it's not a dragon species." Xu Chunlin scoffed at Qi Lu's views.
"You're right, but that's the exception. Because of this, the mirage demon who has cultivated to perfection is very arrogant and looks down on other types of monsters, because it considers itself to be a relative of the dragon and is naturally superior. Qi Lu paused for a moment and said: "This also shows from the side that the dragon's identity is noble, which is not comparable to ordinary demon clans." ”
"Okay, I'm not going to fight with you, according to what you say, this monster is not a ghost, so is it a real dragon? If it's really a dragon, how can it hurt people! ”
Xu Chunlin's words caught the loophole in Qi Lu's words, but Qi Lu turned around disappreciably and said: "I can't judge the origin of this monster, but I have a way to deal with it in my heart." ”
Xu Chunlin was shocked, he pondered for several months but couldn't find the weakness of the monster, Qi Lu only came here for less than two days and said that he had found a way to solve the monster, of course he didn't believe that this young man really had this ability.
Qi Lu knew that he didn't believe him, so he smiled and said, "Master Xu, we might as well make a bet, if I tell the weakness of the monster, you will agree that I will go to sea with you to be the human sacrifice instead of Lao Yan, how about it?" ”
"That's not going to work!" Yan Jun's father and son hurriedly waved their hands and refused, how could they bear to risk their lives when Qi Lu had just come to the village for two days.
Ding Xiaolan heard Qi Lu's arrogant words, applauded him happily, and strongly agreed with Qi Lu's bet.
Xu Chunlin was shocked again, he felt from Qi Lu's confident tone that this young man didn't seem to be joking with him, and he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.
Ding Xiaolan saw that Xu Chunlin was silent, so she sneered and said, "Master Xu, why are you dumb?" Are you afraid that Qi Lu will destroy that monster when the time comes, and let you lose your majesty in front of everyone? ”
When Xu Chunlin heard this, he couldn't help but blush and white for a while, he was stimulated to the heart by Ding Xiaolan's agitation method, so he no longer flinched, so he sneered and said: "Okay, Xiao Qi, show your point of view, if you say it makes sense, we will partner up to fight to the death and kill that monster." ”
"I'm going to bring my assistant Lao Wu with me, don't you object?"
"No problem."
Xu Chunlin was out of the way, but Lao Wu frowned, and he was about to speak, when he saw Ding Xiaolan blocking in front of him, and his face was fierce, so he had to swallow the words back into his stomach and sit on the chair silently.
"That's not going to work!" Yan Jun admired Qi Lu's courage, but he still couldn't bear to let him go to sea.
"Village chief, don't meddle in this matter." Xu Chunlin replied to him coldly, suggesting that he should not meddle in his affairs.
Yan Jun shouted: "I am the village chief of Hailong Village, and I am in charge of this matter!" ”
"Don't use the title of village chief to press me." Xu Chunlin said threateningly: "In this matter, do the villagers listen to you or me!" ”
"You!" Yan Jun slapped the table angrily and sat there sulking.
Qi Lu hurriedly smiled and persuaded: "Don't care, uncle, I don't have any other specialties, I just like to join in the fun." If you don't agree, I'll get sick in a hurry. ”
Xu Chunlin didn't have the leisure to listen to Qi Lu's nonsense, he said with a gloomy face: "Xiao Qi, now you can tell your high opinion, right?" ”
Qi Lu smiled and said, "Whether it is a mage in the world, or a demon, or even a god, they cannot be familiar with the full power of the five elements, which is the crux of the problem. ”
"But I don't see what it has to do with that." Xu Chunlin looked confused.
"The monsters in the water, no matter what they are, are mostly cultivating water-based spells. Because a slightly smarter monster would not give up this innate advantage to cultivate the other four Five Elements spells that were relatively difficult for it. ”
"Go on!" Xu Chunlin's pupils shrank suddenly, and he began to understand the meaning of Qi Lu's words a little.
"Master Xu, you've already fought with it, and you must have seen the type of spell of the monster. In that case, why bother tracing its origins, we just need to use earth-based spells to deal with it. Even if our spells are far below it, as long as the earth system is used properly, who can say that the balance of victory will not tip in our favor? ”
The five elements of yin and yang, according to the principle of mutual reciprocity and mutual restraint, earth is the nemesis of water, Qi Lu's proposal can be said to be poking at the weakness of the monster, Xu Chunlin listened to his words, and had to nod in approval, and had to admire his idea.
"Since Master Xu agrees with my point of view, then, do you agree that we will go to sea together?"
"Okay, let's be a partner in life and death!" Xu Chunlin didn't have any intention of dragging mud and water this time.
Lao Wu walked yin and yang, slaying demons and demons for a much longer time than them, he didn't have much appreciation after listening to Qi Lu's words, but put forward his own opinions: "Xiao Qi, have you thought about it, if this monster is really a dragon, then it is not as easy as you say." ”
"Yes, the dragon is the king of the scale beasts of the world, and it is not only proficient in the use of water spells, but also fire spells. If the opponent is it, I'm afraid it will be a little tricky. ”
"Aren't you dangerous, then?" Ding Xiaolan couldn't help but feel sorry for Qi Lu.
Qi Lu smiled and said, "Whether it is a mage in the world, or a demon, or even a god, they cannot be familiar with the full power of the five elements, which is the crux of the problem. ”
"But I don't see what it has to do with that." Xu Chunlin looked confused.
