Chapter 3: Demons
"What 'something'? Heh, the wording really surprised me a little......"
Zheng Xie's laughter revealed a sarcastic meaning.
"If you can explain all these questions, we probably won't have to fight each other. ”
The mandarin spider said calmly.
Zheng Xie scratched his head and showed a warm smile:
"I remember that all the threatening judgments against me seem to be just wishful thinking on your part, right? I didn't say anything like 'harmless to humans and animals'?"
Uncle Li's pupils shrank, and he only felt a chill rushing up from his spine.
"On the contrary, I have already indicated my threat level from the beginning, and I am here to 'rob the road'......"
Zheng Xie's smile became brighter and brighter:
"I said I'd do it if I didn't give me food, don't you think I'm joking?"
Zheng Xie patted the horses under him and smiled very gently:
"As for why it didn't run, of course because there was something more terrible than the Spotted Bear King rushing at it, sitting on its back......"
The horse under Zheng Xie's seat tamely half-knelt down on its front hooves and lay on the ground in a surrendering posture so that Zheng Xie could easily walk down.
"What am I? Don't you already have the answer in your mind?"
Zheng Xie's smile gradually retracted, replaced by a deep calm.
Uncle Li's throat rolled and he spat out four words with difficulty:
"Ansan Demon ......"
Before Ye Ying could react at first, he repeated the four words:
"Ansan demons, Ansan ......"
Finally, Ye Ying, who remembered something, only felt cold all over her body:
"Demons?!"
Boom!
It was the sound of a chain blade coming out.
After hearing the words "Ansan Demon Ghost", the mandarin spider did not hesitate to launch an attack on the black-haired boy. Over the years, she has made a name for herself in Ansan with her ruthless chain blade and terrifying poison skills, which is so fast that the human eye can't track it, which can be said to be her famous skill.
However, to her disbelief, the weapon of her pride was firmly held in the palm of her hand by the thin boy opposite her.
Zheng Xie didn't seem to care about her attack, but muttered to himself in a bit of a daze:
"There are demons and ghosts in Anshan, like a human form, with a ferocious temperament, and they like to devour people's hearts, but they can't get out of the ...... when they wander in the Daluo Mountains."
Ye Ying trembled, because the location they were in now was the Daluo Mountain Range.
"But do you know why the Ansan demon was born?"
Zheng Xie said softly.
The green snake remained calm at this time:
"Legend has it that there are countless images of Ansan demons, whether they are teenagers, old people, men or women, and they change every thirty-three years...... But I really don't know why it came about. ”
Zheng Xie chuckled:
"There was a temple on this Daluo Mountain, the temple had more than 100 monks, but it was slaughtered by the mountain bandits, the resentment did not disperse, the holy monk turned into a demon monk, based on the bones, and the resentment was used as the material, turning into a demon and wreaking havoc on the world. “
No one spoke, just quietly listened to the young man's story, which he didn't know was true or false.
"There is a great power who can't bear to see this tragedy, and he doesn't want to wipe out the demons and ghosts from the six realms, so he trapped them in Daluo Mountain. ”
Zheng Xie's tone became cold.
"The demon is formless, but a wisp of spirit, and its image comes from the lost person who has strayed into the mountains by its master. ”
"I am a demon and a demon, and I am also a Zheng evil. ”
Uncle Li said in a low voice:
"Since demons devour people, why have you followed us for so long?"
There was no joy or anger in Zheng Xie's eyes:
"Every thirty-three years, the body of the demon will not be able to withstand the resentment of hundreds of monks and ghosts and collapse, so it needs to be replaced...... However, the original Mighty One also gave the demons a way to liberate. ”
Speaking of this, Zheng Xie looked meaningfully at Ye Ying, who was shrinking in the team:
"If someone is still willing to let the demon go with him and take it out of the Daluo Mountain even though he knows the true body of the demon, he can let the monk's soul enter reincarnation, and the demon will not be defeated. ”
Ye Ying was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some uncertainty:
"Do you want to ...... Let me take you out?"
Zheng Xie did not answer directly, but continued:
"The demon is in the lord, and he is tormented by resentment every day...... Only cannibalism can alleviate ...... Do you understand what that means?"
Ye Ying shuddered:
"Maybe ......"
Zheng Xie sneered:
"This means that if I go with you, if the demons riot, I will kill you at any time, gouge out your heart and devour you. ”
Ye Ying's face was extremely pale:
"That'...... Then you can't leave this Daluo Mountain?"
Zheng Xie laughed at himself:
"Leave Daluo Mountain, as soon as the demons and ghosts disperse, I may also turn into a corpse that has been dead for a long time, who knows if I will kill you with the idea of simply dying?"
Without waiting for the girl in front of her to react, Zheng Xie regained her initial calm:
"I've told you everything, you can choose to let me go with you at any time at the risk of being disemboweled, or let these people around you hold me for a moment and a half, and then try to escape from this Daluo Mountain. ”
Ye Ying bit her lip, and a pair of blue eyes stared at Zheng Xie's eyes:
"You...... If you don't tell me this, won't you be able to let me take you with you......? It's all good for you, right? Why are you talking about it all?"
Hearing this, Zheng Xie was silent for a moment before saying softly:
"In the past 29 years, I have met many people...... And you're the first to be willing to provide food and let me go...... I don't want to lie to you. ”
Ye Ying was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think of something terrible, and couldn't help asking:
"What if we refused to provide food at the time, or if we gave it and left?"
Zheng Xie didn't speak, but made a chewing motion, which made Ye Ying's face a little paler.
At this time, Uncle Li leaned towards Ye Ying and said softly:
"Shangjia, the strength of the demon is unpredictable, we may not be able to match, we will contain him later, you will take the opportunity to escape!"
Ye Ying was stunned:
"Huh?"
The three of them, the green snake, the knife, and the mandarin spider, all took a step forward, touched all their killer features, and looked at Zheng Xie with waiting.
Zheng Xie shrugged his shoulders indifferently:
"Looks like you've made a decision?"
However, before Uncle Li could order to exit, Ye Ying's voice came out:
"Wait!"
Zheng Xie was stunned, and several people from the "Mountain Tower" were also stunned.
Ye Ying took a deep breath, letting her pale face return a little bloody, and then plucked up the courage to look at Zheng Xie Dao:
"I'm willing to walk with you!"
Uncle Li is in a hurry:
"Go home!"
Ye Ying stopped Uncle Li with a gesture and said slowly:
"You face the attack of the mandarin spider as if you are strolling leisurely, I think that these people I brought will not be able to stop you for long, and I don't know the direction of this big Luo Mountain, on the contrary, you know everything about it, if you escape, it will definitely be the end of being caught up and taken out of your heart...... Rather than that, it's better to gamble!"
When everyone heard it, they also felt that it made some sense, and Uncle Li also held back what he wanted to say.
Zheng Xie was a little surprised in his eyes:
"Have you thought about it?"
Ye Ying nodded firmly:
"You've figured it out!"
Zheng Xie narrowed his eyes and slowly walked towards Ye Ying. The four people in the mountain tower on the side were all tense, as long as Zheng Xie made a slight move, he was afraid that he would be attacked by the Quartet!
When Zheng Xie walked in front of Ye Ying, he stopped, lowered his head and carefully observed this young girl, especially on her moist and blue eyes for a long time.
Then, Zheng Xie stretched out his hand, touched Ye Ying's forehead, and sighed:
"How can such a cute little girl be so stupid?"
Immediately after, Zheng Xie turned around and waved his hand to the people behind him:
"Before I change my mind, let's go. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
I saw Zheng Xie wearing thin linen clothes, walking step by step towards the depths of the mountains and forests, and at the same time said:
"Thirty miles to the west, and more than forty miles to the northeast, you can find a road, and there are no fierce beasts entrenched on that road, and you can leave Daluo Mountain. ”
Ye Ying finally reacted, puzzled:
"Demon ...... You're not leaving?"
Zheng Xie didn't look back, but sneered:
"Where can I go? Over the years, even those who are willing to go with me have been devoured by my madness at the last moment...... This demon doesn't want to be liberated at all. ”
Speaking of this, Zheng Xie paused:
"It's better to be blinded by demons and kill you...... I might as well live in this mountain for a few years and become a dry skeleton...... Heh, I don't want to let those guys get their wish anymore. ”
Then, Zheng Xie disappeared into the dense forest and disappeared without a trace.
Ye Ying looked at Zheng Xie's back, and stopped talking, but in the end she remained silent.
It wasn't until this young man who called himself Zheng Xie left that the four people of the "Mountain Tower" were really relieved.
Uncle Li sighed:
"That's a ...... The real aftermath of the catastrophe. ”
The green snake put away his long sword and looked solemn:
"If we really do it, we are afraid that we will die for life. The blade of the mandarin spider can't hurt him in the slightest, so what can we do?"
The mandarin spider did not speak, but silently put away its chain blade. The knife on the side looked at everyone, and finally put away the knife without saying a word.
Ye Ying stood in place, looking at the darkness in the depths of the mountain forest, and said softly:
"Uncle Li, what do you say about this Anshan demon...... Is it true?"
Uncle Li was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice:
"I don't know...... It's just that many years ago, it seemed that there was indeed a temple in this mountain, but the inheritance was broken......"
Ye Ying said again:
"Every minute of that is tormented by resentment, the body is occupied by another outsider...... How painful would it be?"
Uncle Li seemed to see Ye Ying's thoughts, and hesitated for a long time before saying:
"In the upper house, demons and ghosts plague the world, brew and kill, and do not treat them as the same as others. ”
Ye Ying sighed:
"I understand...... Let's go, without the horses, we have to hurry up. “
Uncle Li nodded:
"Fortunately, there is still one horse left, and most of the food is not lost. ”
Ye Ying nodded, but still couldn't help but glance in the direction where Zheng Xie disappeared again, and muttered:
"Ansan demons, is it a ghost or a human?"
