Chapter 44: Fighting the Corpse Demon
According to Guan Tianzi, he has lived in Qingyun Town and the Taoist Temple on the mountain for nearly half of his life, but this is the first time he has encountered such an evil sect as today. I don't need to talk nonsense with the Son of Heaven, he naturally knows the horror of the hundred-year-old corpse demon better than me.
I didn't continue to talk nonsense with Guan Tianzi at the moment, and agreed to Guan Tianzi's request, first go to Honggang Village to see if the hundreds of families have been killed. Guan Tianzi expressed his gratitude to me, and then waved his hand to the two sturdy disciples behind him, and the leader ran desperately against the small southeast wind in the early morning.
The speed of Guantianzi is very fast, and it took less than an hour to follow him to almost hundreds of households in Honggang Village, but fortunately, most of them did not encounter anything, and we were still confused when we visited people in the middle of the night.
"Dao Chief, I estimate that the old guy is still on the Nanshan Ridge Mountain, and he will definitely choose the fattest corpse with the most qi in the last ten corpses, let's hurry up the hillside and take a good look." After I made a proposal, Guan Tianzi thought for a moment and agreed to my opinion. However, Guantianzi let his two disciples not follow me and Guantianzi together.
Guan Tianzi and they instructed that when Guan Tianzi and I broke through from the front, the two of them should go up the mountain from the east and west directions to encircle and suppress, remember to hold the gossip mirror in their hands, and let him see the light on the gossip mirror all the time after going up to the Nanshan Ridge.
The two disciples quickly answered and went, I asked the Son of Heaven curiously what the function of this gossip mirror was, and the Son of Heaven told me that with the red light reflected on the gossip mirror, one could determine the direction of the two disciples and confirm each other's life and death, and the other was to find the location of demons and monsters.
As he spoke, Guan Tianzi also took out a gossip mirror from his arms, and my heart suddenly dawned. The trees on the Nanshan Ridge are so dense that after climbing for a short time, I was very glad that the Son of Heaven had let his two disciples also bring the Bagua Mirror - looking at the east and west sides from afar, I could see two cinnabar-colored points of light.
Guan Tianzi told me that it was the light reflected by the Bagua Mirror, and I thought in my heart that if it weren't for these two points of light, it is estimated that Guan Tianzi and I would have lost those two disciples a long time ago. After climbing the steep slope of the South Mountain Range, we searched on the overgrown flat land, but we did not find anything for half a day.
And just as I was observing on the grass, I suddenly found a few large, corrosive footprints and couldn't help but shout at Guan Tianzi, Guan Tianzi reacted faster, and immediately grabbed my whole person and ran wildly. I hurriedly looked up, at this moment, there was only one of the two cinnabar-colored points of light left in the east and west, the one in the east was getting closer and closer, constantly swaying, but the one in the west was as if the candle flame had been extinguished, and there was no response.
"Master! Master! Li Jian may have encountered something dirty! β
From the east, a sturdy body ran over as fast as a burning buttocks, panting and saying, Guan Tianzi took me without stopping at all, shouting: "It's not possible, it's definitely dirty!" Didn't you see the green light reflected on his gossip mirror just now, it's a monster! β
"Guantianzi, are we going to fight him head-on like this?! If the village chief becomes a hundred-year-old corpse demon, we will all have to finish playing! β
After coming back to my senses, I stopped stumbling, but looking at the back of Guan Tianzi without hesitation, I was a little instigated - in front of me, in the quiet and lonely darkness, there was a terrifying and indescribable existence. The reason why I am still running with Guantianzi is that I am betting on a possibility.
If the village chief has not yet become a hundred-year-old corpse demon, then things will still have a turn, even if he has absorbed the corpse qi of nearly a hundred corpses, after all, in essence, he has not completely used the corpse qi from his body to hatch a hundred-year-old corpse demon, and the three souls and seven spirits are still there, then I think the Son of Heaven should be able to deal with him.
But if God and the Sects didn't hear the desperate prayers in my heart, the stinky old man had eaten enough of a hundred corpses, and the Corpse Emperor had become an immortal hundred-year-old corpse demon, then the feelings were good, not to mention a Son of Heaven, it was a hundred Sons of Heaven plus a hundred me, and it was estimated that they were all "giveaways" for buying one plus one.
Guan Tianzi didn't speak for a long time, I was in a hurry, but after a long time, I heard Guan Tianzi say a word without replying, and his tone was very heavy.
"Zhang Jun, if Village Chief Hong has become a hundred-year-old corpse demon, then you don't want to get involved in this matter anymore - when the time comes, don't look back, desperately run under the Nanshan Ridge, I bet my life and swear to you, I will block him on this Nanshan Ridge forever, and when the time comes...... I'm going to ask you to warn everyone in Honggang Village not to go up this Nanshan Ridge again. β
Monsters are immortal and unborn, soulless and soulless, the six realms of reincarnation, and there is no place in the three worlds of heaven, earth and man that is their destination, I remember this sentence deeply. It's true that youkai can live forever, but can you live a nourishing life as a youkai? It's within.
But on the other hand, it's also difficult to kill a monster, and even a monster like a hundred-year-old corpse demon is an elite that is extremely difficult to deal with among monsters, even if I can find its demon soul in a prophetic dream, I think it's hard to find a way to kill it - it's really not that I look down on the Son of Heaven, it's just that to really kill a hundred-year-old corpse demon, it is definitely not something that can be done by relying on an old way.
"Guantianzi......" I looked up and wanted to say something to the silent back of Guantianzi, but I couldn't say a word for a long time, my throat and eyes were like blocking stones, and my eyes were also misty. The implication of his words was already very clear, if he turned the village chief into a hundred-year-old corpse demon, he would have no way to kill him, so he was ready to die with him.
It is a good idea to seal the hundred-year-old corpse demon in this place, but from beginning to end, the Son of Heaven has not mentioned anything about his own life or death. Obviously, he was ready to realize that he and the hundred-year-old corpse demon had been left in this place forever.
Soon after, we came to the location of another disciple of the Son of Heaven, and the Bagua Mirror was broken at the moment, broken and scattered, and a big cyan, rotten foot with a light blue cold air stepped on it, and the ground within a radius of ten meters of that foot had been frozen into a thick layer of ice.
"Yo, Zhang Jun'er, you actually came back to me...... Hehe, even brought me food, didn't you? Yes, for the sake of your loyalty, I'll give you one last chance, and I don't care about your escape. β
"Mom! What is this?! β
I looked at the huge and terrifying existence in front of me, and I couldn't help but feel a pang of tension in my heart, as if a hand had pinched my heart and liver, and it was difficult to even take a deep breath. As for the disciples of the Son of Heaven, one of them had already been torn apart, sprinkled with blood all over the ground, and scattered on the ground, and the other was so frightened that he fell directly to the ground and couldn't stand up.
Guan Tianzi's breathing was a little short, and I saw that he squeezed the peachwood long sword in his hand hard, and his knuckles were a little white, but the back with white hair looked so fragile and helpless in my eyes at the moment.
The old Taoist priest in front of me has lived in the Taoist temple on the north mountain of Qingyun Town for most of his life, according to his words, he lived like a beast in the first half of his life, doing all kinds of evil, and in the second half of his life, he was a Taoist priest, and he collected cheap incense money over the years, helping the villagers to kill demons and demons, and it was also regarded as accumulating some yin virtues, which was the most gratifying thing for him.
But the monster in front of him now is not an existence that he can deal with at all. The Son of Heaven will not flinch here, I know that it is impossible for me to persuade him, and what I just saw from his back is definitely not my delusion.
I looked at the hundred-year-old corpse demon in front of me again, with blue fireworks all over his body, a pair of blood-red eyes deeply embedded in the sunken eye sockets, frost all over his body, and the skin and flesh that had completely rotted opened, but not a drop of blood dropped, all frozen on the skin.
At first glance, this hundred-year-old corpse demon is at least two meters long, and its body is as thin as a dry corpse, but the skeleton alone is thicker than an adult's thighs, and then the skinny corpse demon is also full of deterrence in his eyes, which is a kind of appearance that will directly dispel the desire to fight in his heart.
"Zhang Jun." I was staring at the hundred-year-old corpse demon with a blank expression, and the Son of Heaven suddenly shouted at me.
"Watching the Son of Heaven?"
"You take Zhang Long down the mountain immediately, and leave it to me here, and then ...... You have to remember my words, after leaving this Nanshan Ridge, you will break the gossip mirror on Zhang Long's body, and let me know that you have left. β
Listening to the words of the Son of Heaven, the hundred-year-old corpse demon let out a strange laugh, and roared angrily: "Still want to go? Whether it's you damn old Taoist priest or Zhang Jun'er's kid, don't even think about leaving here alive! Stay for me to be my nourishment! β
I gritted my teeth, and helped up the timid poor Zhang Long, who did not match his appearance, and shouted at Guan Tianzi: "Guan Tianzi! So what do you do yourself! β
"I can't live...... However, I will do my best to keep this guy on the South Mountain Ridge. β
I didn't say much, I just felt a burst of heat in my eyes. I know that I am very useless now, I don't have the courage to stay in this place with the Son of Heaven to deal with the hundred-year-old corpse demon, and I don't have the courage to die like this, and all I can do is to leave with his disciples.
According to what Guan Tianzi said, while supporting the disciple of Guan Tianzi who was so weak that he couldn't walk the way, I ran backwards, and at the same time, I gritted my teeth and endured and never looked back, for fear of seeing some terrible situation, and I couldn't run anymore. And when Zhang Long and I ran until we couldn't see Guantianzi anymore, Zhang Long pushed me away fiercely, and he ran directly, and the speed was almost catching up with the rabbit.
"Your mother, you're pretending to be emotional!" I was stunned, looking at Zhang Long's vigorous appearance, I couldn't help but shout angrily.
"Nonsense! Who the fuck wants to follow that stinky Taoist priest to die in such a place, Lao Tzu owes him a few meals and wants Lao Tzu to give him his life and do his bullshit daydreams! β
Zhang Long shouted wildly, and ran away in an instant, I looked at the direction where Zhang Long disappeared a little distractedly, gritted my teeth and ran desperately towards the front. But before I could run down the hillside, I heard a very miserable screamβit was clearly the voice of the Son of Heaven.
