Chapter 183: River Demon Mansion
Sun Wukong's behavior made the old man's face become surprised and surprised by the baby-faced python directly from the house, he didn't expect this seemingly inconspicuous monk to have such a strong strength.
In order to prevent himself and them from falling into this dangerous situation, the old man did that act of driving away, but he didn't expect that the other party would be able to kill the baby-faced python so easily.
It is only now that the old man has deeply realized what it means to be incompatible, and the sea is incomprehensible, and those who have unique skills like to hide deeply, otherwise, how can they create such a feeling?
In the process of the old man's mind, Sun Wukong and the others had already come to each other, and looked at the old man in surprise, they wondered if the old man should be stupid because of the previous incident, right?
"Old man, are you okay, now the danger has been lifted!" While talking, Sun Wukong and others had already helped the old man up from the ground, and walked towards the house with his arms, and after the old man sat down, he slowly gasped out in one breath.
The old man looked at his state and then involuntarily put his hand on the incomplete teacup on the table, and after feeling the tea in the teacup that was already cold, the old man smiled helplessly and embarrassedly: "I'm sorry." ”
"I was forced to do that before, I hope you won't care, after all, under the deterrence of demon beasts, we ordinary bad old men can't do anything, the only thing we can do is to pretend to be hard-mouthed."
After hearing the old man's words, Sun Wukong and Su Heng's brother and sister suddenly trembled, they knew very well what the old man meant before, after all, the old man still didn't say anything about them under the deterrence of the baby-faced python.
This proves that the old man actually has a grudge against the demon beast, but he is in a weak position, so what he can do is very weak, and other problems will be gradually diluted after the old man's move.
"You don't need to say anything more about the old man's superfluousness, we all understand, but what we need to know is what happened in this village, you said earlier that the people in the village were all killed by demon beasts, and the rest of the people have already fled."
Where did this happen and why? And the treasure you mentioned, what treasure is there in your village that is so valued by these monsters? Su Heng asked the old man in surprise at this time.
Originally, the old man was not going to say this, but he didn't control his words for a while when facing the baby-faced python before, so now he nodded helplessly, and then explained: "These things are caused by that treasure." ”
"I don't know when this thing appeared in our village, but I can see that it always shines a strange light under the night sky, like a star, but it is more dazzling than the light of a star, it must be a bead."
"The people in the village have not seen the treasure, but they have all seen the strange light, and just when the matter of this light was spreading in the village, a Taoist priest suddenly came to the village, and the so-called treasure was also known from his mouth."
"Daoist You Fang said that this light is the release of the magic weapon spirit bead, and the strength of this spirit bead is not at all controllable by ordinary people, and it will be a scourge in the village sooner or later, but when the people in the village want to ask him to take the bead away, the other party suddenly becomes embarrassed."
The old man's words stopped here, but his face became helpless, and then Sun Wukong even felt remorse from it: "That Taoist priest said that if you want him to take this magic weapon spirit bead, you must give him three thousand taels of gold as a reward." ”
"But in such a remote village like ours, not to mention gold, even if it is scrap copper, let alone three thousand taels, how can we get it, so in the end, this matter was not negotiated, and Daoist You Fang turned around and left a little unhappy."
"Soon after the Taoist priest left, something strange happened in our village, someone began to scream inexplicably in the middle of the night, followed by an uncontrollable roar, and finally the person would gradually die in the roar."
"In just three days, more than ten innocent people have died in our village, and the number is still rising, everyone is talking about whether the magic weapon spirit bead in the mouth of the Taoist priest You Fang is devouring the souls of these people, so that they will not die well."
"Therefore, in order to prevent everyone from continuing to die in the hands of this inexplicable magic weapon spirit bead, everyone chose to leave this village where they have lived for decades, leaving their hometown just to live safely, but this disaster has not stopped because of this."
"I remember that it was the fourth day after the villagers left, and I opened the door early in the morning to sweep the fallen leaves at the door, but at this moment, I suddenly saw that the people who had left the village before had now returned to the village, but the way they appeared frightened my old man."
The old man stopped here, but a timid and nervous expression involuntarily appeared on his cheeks, as if he wanted to vent his mood at the moment, and Sun Wukong also answered at this moment: "You mean, all the corpses they returned to the village are, right?" ”
Sun Wukong's words shocked the Su Heng brothers and sisters in an instant, the two of them were still simple in their thinking, and they didn't think about special aspects at all, until they saw the old man nodding slightly, and then they gradually believed the terrifying remarks from Sun Wukong.
"Old man, I think what happened in the village should not only have something to do with this magic orb, right? If I'm not mistaken, this so-called spirit bead should be the baby-faced python's, I remember reading in the book before, the baby-faced python must rely on the spirit bead if it wants to cultivate. ”
"And this spirit bead is not an ordinary thing, if you want to use it to start cultivation, you need to inject three thousand souls into the spirit bead to activate the magic power of the spirit bead, I think what happened in the village before should be the phenomenon that this spirit bead sprouted when absorbing the souls of the villagers."
Sun Wukong stopped here, but the old man nodded after him, and explained: "That's right, later the rest of us gradually discovered that every night, a strange python monster will come to the village, and gradually approach the area that releases dazzling light. ”
"Soon after the arrival of this python monster, the dazzling light will gradually converge, as if the daylight gradually transforms into starlight, and after the light slows down to the minimum, the monster will gradually disappear, and before the light shines, the people in our village are already dead."
When the old man was talking, his eyes were still wandering, as if he was worried that the so-called wall had ears: "My old man is blessed with a great life, and it is enough to live until now, otherwise I would not have said that before, but I feel very unwilling." ”
"Why should we innocent people become the medium of their cultivation?" The old man's helplessness Sun Wukong and others also understand it, but there is no way, some demon beasts must rely on this method if they want to improve their strength, otherwise their strength will not be able to improve.
"I already know what happened in the village, now that the baby-faced python is dead, you can live with peace of mind, and we still have something to go to the Heishui River, so we won't stay in this place too much." Sun Wukong is now talking, but he still stands up.
But at this moment, the old man suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Sun Wukong's arm, and then explained loudly: "What did you say? You're going to Blackwater River? You must not go to that place, now the Heishui River is simply a dangerous place, and it will only be more auspicious to go. ”
"A dangerous place? What do you mean? It is true that there are demon beasts near the Heishui River, but they are not so dangerous. Su Heng touched his head in surprise at this moment, and then explained in a low voice, but his words were exchanged for an even more strange expression from the old man: "Don't go." ”
"I heard that weird monster say to himself excitedly before, I happened to meet the birthday banquet of the Heishui River Demon recently, and it invited a large number of demon beasts around it to go to the Heishui River to attend the banquet, and tomorrow, if you go to the Heishui River now, you will definitely encounter a large number of demon beasts."
"Even if your strength is not weak, it is inevitable that you will be unable to deal with such a large number of demon beasts, so I think you should wait for a while before going, but don't bump into those demon beasts." The old man is indeed worried at the moment to say this.
And his words did attract the attention of Sun Wukong and the others, they are now inferior to the huge group of demon beasts in terms of number and strength, not to mention that there are also powerful and powerful existences among these demon beasts, and it will be dangerous if they rush in.
But Sun Wukong didn't have much time to waste, because according to his calculations, there were still three days before the time to rescue his parents, and if he didn't get the essence blood of the Black Water River Demon tomorrow, there would not be enough time to return to Sunjiabao to rescue his parents.
"What exactly do I do now? I must not miss this best day, or all my efforts will be in vain. After Sun Wukong sighed helplessly, he turned around and asked the old man: "How far is the old man from the Heishui River?" ”
"Fifty miles away." After hearing the old man's response, Sun Wukong hesitated for a moment and then explained to the Su Heng brothers and sisters beside him: "You two stay in this place first, I need to go to Heishui River first to inquire about the specific situation and see how many demon beasts are coming." ”
"Wait here for the two of you, don't act rashly, wait for my signal." Sun Wukong stopped there, and then immediately walked away.
