Chapter 15: Hunting the Wolf Demon
When I saw this thing, it actually had a human face, black hair, black eyebrows, black eyes, and a nose and mouth, all of which were exactly the same as people, except that the cheeks and body were full of long white hairs, and if you ignore these white hairs, it looks like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child.
My grandfather was stunned, what the hell is this, is it the white-haired wolf demon? The master heard my ancestor say that when the cultivation beast reaches a certain level, it can transform into a human form, but is this thing in front of him really made of a wolf?
At the same time as my grandfather looked at the wolf demon, the wolf demon seemed to be looking at him, which made my grandfather can't help but ask: "Are you a human or a demon?" ”
The wolf demon barked his teeth at my grandfather, and his mouth let out a low roar like a dog, my grandfather couldn't help frowning, when he was in the tomb before, the strange snake was like this, ask a question and stick out his tongue, right now, it seems that he is really a beast who has become a spirit, and my grandfather pulled out the short sword in his waist.
Seeing this, the wolf demon actually knelt down and landed on all fours, but instead of attacking my grandfather, he sniffed at my grandfather with his nose. My grandfather didn't understand, what did this mean, and just as he was about to pass over with his short sword, the wolf demon actually turned around and ran.
The little ghost monkey jumped out from behind my grandfather at this time, roared "woo", and chased after the wolf demon, the wolf demon looked back at the little ghost monkey, and bared his teeth at the ghost monkey, it seemed that he was particularly disgusted with the ghost monkey, but he did not stop.
My grandfather immediately saw that the wolf demon did not want to entangle with the ghost monkey and wanted to leave, but the ghost monkey was chasing after it.
My grandfather greeted the little ghost monkey twice, and the little ghost monkey chased the wolf demon as if he hadn't heard it.
Although the speed of the wolf demon is fast at this time, it is obviously inferior to the ghost monkey on the rocky ground where the canine teeth are intertwined, and the ghost monkey stepped on the mountain rock that came out suddenly, jumping up and down, and after a while, blocking the way of the wolf demon, the wolf demon let out a strange cry and angrily threw himself at the ghost monkey.
At this time, my grandfather wondered in his heart, why did the monkey have nothing to do today, and then looked around a few times, and there was no trace of Xiao Lao Dao's master and apprentice, and his heart was total, could it be that Xiao Lao Dao's master and apprentice were poisoned by the wolf demon, and the monkey is now avenging them?
Thinking like this, the master also rushed over with a short sword, but before my master rushed to him, the demon wolf left the ghost monkey and continued to run down the mountain.
Seeing this, the ghost monkey seemed to refuse to let it go, jumped on the rocks and continued to chase, and after a while, blocked the way of the wolf demon again.
The wolf demon looked a little angry this time, pounced on a wolf and a monkey and entangled together, my grandfather saw this, accelerated under his feet, and when he saw that he was approaching again, the wolf demon wanted to escape again, and the little ghost monkey hurriedly waved his hand at my grandfather, my grandfather was stunned, this monkey didn't seem to want to let himself go over to help.
My grandfather stopped where he was and stopped going, and saw the little ghost monkey jumping up and down beside the wolf demon, and did not attack, but was blindly provoking, as if he was teasing the wolf demon, and my grandfather became more and more puzzled.
After a while, the wolf demon was completely enraged by the ghost monkey, roared angrily, and launched a fierce attack on the little ghost monkey, the little ghost monkey was not in a hurry, and actually showed a smile at the wolf demon, jumped on the stone and ran towards the mountain, while running, he did not forget to pick up the stone and turn around to smash the wolf demon, the action was very funny, and my grandfather couldn't cry or laugh.
The short sword was retracted into his waist, and my grandfather grabbed the rocks around him and rushed towards the mountain, but his speed was obviously not as fast as the two animals, and he chased after him, and the two animals were actually chased and lost by him.
My grandfather stopped and looked around, it was dark and quiet, as if the monkey and the wolf demon had never appeared, and then climbed up a big stone that came out of the way, and then looked around, and found that on the mountain above his head, there was a glimmer of light, flickering and dimming, my grandfather said in his heart, there are so many strange things that happened today, where is this bright light?
Jumping off the rock, my grandfather climbed towards the glowing place, spent some effort, and finally climbed to the place, and at first glance, it was actually a cave, the entrance of the cave was not big, more than five feet high and more than three feet wide, and from the hole came the beating light, which felt like the light of a torch.
My grandfather pulled the short sword out of his waist again, and the cat's waist went into the cave, and after walking not far in the cave, a bend appeared in front of him, and the light came from the other side of the bend.
My grandfather quickened his pace, and when he was about to come to the corner, a voice came from inside: "Tighten up, don't let him run again." ”
When my grandfather heard it, it was actually Xiao Laodao's voice, and hurriedly shouted: "Is it Brother Xiao inside?" ”
The shouting fell, and the voice inside came again, looking a little surprised, "Brother Liu, why are you here?" ”
When my grandfather heard this, he suddenly felt a little unhappy, and said angrily: "Why did you say I came, I haven't seen you since I came down the mountain, I think something happened to you, what are you doing here?" ”
As he spoke, my grandfather turned the corner, and his eyes suddenly became much brighter, and he saw Xiao Laodao, Xiao Chujiu, Xiao Eleven, and the little ghost monkey, all in the cave. On the ground in the cave, there was the white-haired wolf demon, and at this time, the wolf demon's hands and feet were all tied strongly.
Xiao Laodao smiled at my grandfather, "Brother, you came just in time, look at what this is!" As he spoke, Xiao Laodao raised his hand and pointed at the white-haired wolf demon on the ground.
My grandfather didn't even look at it, stared at Xiao Laodao and said, "This is a white-haired wolf demon, Brother Xiao, what are you doing with this thing, is it possible that you also want to receive the bounty?" ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, the smile on his face fell, and he asked my grandfather: "What kind of bounty?" Brother, who told you this is a wolf demon? ”
My grandfather replied: "What those monks told me is that two monks were injured by wolf demons. ”
Xiao Laodao looked at my grandfather, then at the wolf demon on the ground, and stroked the goatee on his chin, "Brother, let me tell you, this is not a wolf demon, this is a child!" ”
"What? How could this be a child? When my grandfather heard this, he was a little incredulous.
"How can this not be a child?" Xiao Laodao said: "I have seen a lot of this kind of wolf child, I was raised by the she-wolf when I was a child, and I was covered in white hair, because I ate raw meat all year round. As he spoke, Xiao Laodao took out the cigarette pouch rod in his waist, pried the wolf demon's mouth open, and beckoned to my grandfather, "Come and see the teeth in his mouth, they are the same as ours." ”
My grandfather squatted down and looked at the wolf demon's mouth, and the teeth were indeed similar to those of humans, but the two tiger teeth on the upper teeth were slightly sharper.
Xiao Laodao said: "Judging from the teeth in his mouth, this child has been fed by the she-wolf for at least ten years, alas...... Poor thing! ”
My grandfather asked, "Then what are you doing with him, do you want to get a bounty in the town?" ”
"What bounty?" Xiao Laodao glanced at my grandfather, "You were talking about the bounty just now, what do you mean?" ”
My grandfather said: "After I went down the mountain just now, I met a few people, they wanted to go up the mountain to catch the wolf demon, saying that the wolf demon had injured the people in their town, and they were issuing a reward for the wolf demon, with a bounty of two hundred taels. ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he showed a suspicious look and said: "These wolf children generally don't go down the mountain, even if they are extremely hungry, they will only steal animals and will not hurt people, brother, those people you met, I'm afraid I didn't tell you the truth." ”
My grandfather nodded and said, "I also think they didn't tell the truth, Brother Xiao, then why did you arrest him?" ”
Xiao Laodao smiled and said: "I arrested him to let him be a man again, generally this kind of wolf child is a child in the village under the mountain, I want to get him down the mountain to ask, to see who has lost a child more than ten years ago, if you can find his parents, it would be the best." ”
When my grandfather heard Xiao Laodao say this, he had another layer of admiration for Xiao Laodao in his heart, but he looked at the wolf child on the ground and asked worriedly: "The child has become like this, even if he finds his parents, can his parents recognize him?" ”
Xiao Laodao still smiled, "Don't worry, I have a way to get his parents to recognize the child." Xiao Laodao said, beckoning to Xiao Chujiu next to him, "Chujiu, come and carry him and go down the mountain!" ”
Xiao Chujiu came over and carried the wolf child to his shoulder, my grandfather looked into the cave at this time, the space in the cave was very narrow, and then looked at the little ghost monkey, and immediately understood, and couldn't help but ask Xiao Lao Dao again: "Brother Xiao, are you using a ghost monkey as bait to ...... this wolf Brought this wolf child into the cave? ”
Xiao Laodao nodded, "Yes, when we went down the mountain, this kid was on the mountain, and met us, I saw at a glance that he was a child, and wanted to catch him, but he was too fast, and he didn't catch up for a long time, and finally I found this cave, we hid at the entrance of the cave, and let the ghost monkey lead him into the cave, hehe......"
Several people quickly got out of the cave, followed the route that my grandfather had just come, and returned the same way, and when they returned to the path, my grandfather looked at the wolf child on Xiao Chujiu's shoulder, and the wolf child was still struggling on Xiao Chujiu's shoulder at this time, full of wildness.
My grandfather was a little worried, and while walking, he said to Xiao Laodao: "Brother Xiao, let's just take the child down the mountain so recklessly, in case they go to the town...... What should I do if there is a bounty list? ”
Xiao Laodao didn't even think about it, and said: "This is easy to do, the wolf child doesn't enter the town, let's go to the town to inquire first." ”
When it was almost dawn, a few people came to the bottom of the mountain. After finding the horses in the depths of the woods, the spirits of several people were completely relaxed, and they were all tired and sleepy. Xiao Laodao suggested that he take a nap in the woods for a while, raise some spirits and go to the town again.
Because it had just rained, the forest was wet everywhere, and several people had to sit on their burdens and rest with their backs against the big trees, but not all of them rested, Xiao Lao Dao They have a customary rule, that is, no matter when, there must be a person who watches the wind with his eyes open, just imagine, the priceless things are carried on the body, can you sleep steadily, in case they all fall asleep, they steal and rob the thieves, and the night's hard work is in vain.
Xiao Laodao asked my grandfather and a few of them to rest, he was responsible for watching the wind, and my grandfather and a few people slept until three poles in the morning, and then they were woken up by Xiao Laodao. Xiao Laodao told my grandfather that he was watching the wolf child and the burden in the forest, and he took Xiao Shiyi to the town under the mountain to see if he could find out a little bit about the wolf child, and buy some wine and meat by the way.
My grandfather, Xiao Chujiu, and the little ghost monkey stayed in the forest, and Xiao Laodao left with Xiao Shiyi.
