I was surprised at the time and said that I didn't want to say anything: I didn't expect the slippery and pot-bellied catfish demon in front of me to be able to speak human language, and this phenomenon originally only existed in novels. After that, I slowly learned that in the process of cultivation, demons will not only transform into human forms in junior high school, but also gradually have similar thoughts and mannerisms to people, and even learn to speak human language.

Uncle Bai was even more curious when he saw that this catfish demon actually spoke, the demon was tied up and couldn't move, so Uncle Bai was naturally not afraid, but leaned forward to look carefully, as if he saw a rare thing.

At this time, the old bustard and Tang Haitang also got up and walked here. The old bustard looked at the beast and came to his senses, thinking about the fact that he was about to see the king of Hades by it before, and as soon as the fire didn't come out, he picked up the bronze shovel on the ground again and hit the catfish demon's big belly, and the catfish demon who had just stood up fell to the ground again.

"Please? Tsk, aren't you awesome? What do you ask me to do? You're going to be awesome. The old bustard scolded while holding the wound on his arm. The wound was strangled by the catfish demon's hand with a purple bruise, "Wasn't it quite arrogant when you wanted to kill me just now?" Now that we are in our hands, we are weak, and you know how to see the wind and steer the rudder! What's going on now, the fat-headed big catfish has become thin and shriveled little loaches? ”

Maybe it's because of the medicinal properties of the poison dart for a long time, the catfish monster doesn't have much strength even now, and after being knocked over by the old bustard with a shovel, it rolled on the ground a few times before it struggled to get up again, and its extremely ugly appearance revealed a look of almost begging.

The catfish demon bent his waist and continued to plead: "Don't dare, let me go." ”

The catfish demon's voice is very strange, it may be that its cultivation is not so sophisticated, the words in the words are light or heavy, and the words are very blunt, and the words are missing, plus the mouth is wide and there is some air leakage, it sounds a little unclear, not only that, but its voice also has a noise like tearing the eardrum, which is very uncomfortable to listen to.

The old bustard stood in front of the catfish demon, looked down at the monster, and said, "It's okay to let you go, but you have to answer me a few questions first,"

As soon as the catfish demon heard that there was a way to live, he shook his flat head excitedly: "You, ask!" ”

Bustard: "Where are you a demon?" How could it be in this place? ”

The catfish demon said the reason hesitantly. Because the words are vague, we can only understand a general meaning:

Originally, the catfish demon was originally just a catfish in this pool, and it was not yet refined, but in the stream of water that flowed down from the top of the rock wall, several rotten floating corpses were injected into the pool, and the corpse smell caused all the mayflies and algae in the water to die, and the anger of those floating corpses was very heavy, and the waterhole was soon filled with this anger, and at the same time, because of long-term soaking, the catfish's body was constantly changing, and the catfish began to gnaw on the carrion of the corpse, and slowly cultivated the demon.

We all knew that the water that the catfish demon said was pouring down from the rock wall should be the water flowing from the trough in the cave where we were before, and we fell from the gap in the rock wall. ”

The bustard continued to ask, "Then do you know where those bugs come from?" ”

The old bustard originally asked in passing, but it was this sentence that made the catfish demon suddenly fall into a panic. I saw that it was holding its wide and long mouth, its eyes were slightly up, and it kept glancing left and right, and it looked confused, as if it was on guard against something. It replied after a few moments, "Terrible, bugs? I know. ”

As soon as the old bustard heard that the catfish demon knew the details of the skin cutting mantis, he hurriedly told it to continue.

The catfish demon looked left and right again, and said with a somewhat nervous expression: "Here, it is a big demon's, mound, and the insect is the resentment of the big demon." ”

It is not difficult to hear that the "big demon" in this sentence refers to the charm woman.

"Insects rarely eat the flesh of floating corpses, they will be cut, cheeks, I know, insects come out of the nest every once in a while, I have to hide on weekdays, otherwise, I will be like those people, being eaten."

"Those people?"

The catfish demon looked up at the bustard in fear, and said while gesturing with his hand: "There are sheep's heads, cyan ones, and a group of people." ”

My face changed, and I immediately blurted out: "Bronze sheep's head mask!" It's a member of the Buddha's Hand Society! ”

The old bustard also showed a look of surprise on his face, the corpse he and I saw in the cave before was a member of the Buddha's Hand Society, plus the information that the catfish demon said, we were even more sure of this information. The bustard asked, "When?" ”

"I can't remember, a long time ago."

"What are those people doing here?"

"I don't know, I only saw that they died in the end, and they died very miserably, the meat was eaten by insects, almost all of them died, and only one escaped."

I knew that the truth was not simple, so the corpse we saw in the cave was the only person in the Buddha's Hand Society who was not eaten by the bugs at that time, but he ended up trapped in it because he couldn't find the exit.

I thought hard, connected all the clues I got before and after, and speculated: "It seems that our previous conjecture was not wrong, after Wu Fugui found the Yellow River floating coffin, the Buddha's Hand Society quickly caught this information, and spent a lot of money to buy the half of the silver mask found by Wu Fugui, maybe at that time he had already sent someone into the demon mound to explore, and then there was no news from the people who went in, and the spy of the Buddha's Hand Society pretended to help Wu Fugui suppress the parasitism of the bugs on his legs, Secretly continue to research the 'medicine' that can really deal with insects, that is, the black powder, according to the time Wu Fugui said before his death, it was about a month, the 'medicine' was developed, and Wu Fugui's Buddha's hand society lost its value, and he was quickly killed by means. ”

Both the bustard and Tang Haitang agreed with my speculation, and the truth should be consistent with my speculation. Uncle Bai also figured out what was going on when he heard it, and then he asked, "According to what you say, then that spy knew how to deal with the river demon about a month ago, why didn't he come here at that time?" ”

I touched the silver mask in my arms: "Perhaps, the Buddha's hand will be waiting for our arrival, to be precise, for the arrival of the silver mask in our hand." ”

The spy once asked Wu Fugui to come and steal our mask, and his purpose was already revealed at that time. The old bustard said: "This silver mask is one of the six masks of the six protectors of the demon beasts, it seems that the Buddha's hand will seem to want these masks very much, and it seems that they want to do something with this mask." ”

Uncle Bai muttered on the side, what is the value of the silver face. Indeed, when it comes to the superficial value of this thing, it is definitely not worth a few children, but the intrinsic value of this mask, as Liu Da of the Demon City said, is much higher. Otherwise, the Buddha's Hand Society would not have bought the half of the mask that Wu Fugui found, nor would it have asked Wu Fugui to steal the mask we had.

At this time, the catfish demon on the side saw that the bustard had finished asking, so he asked cautiously, "Is it okay?" Let me go? Mutter? ”

The old bustard glanced at the catfish demon and asked, "Where do you usually hide, we want to find a place to hide." ”

The catfish monster turned his head in one direction and said resignedly: "There, keep walking, there is an open space." ”

When the bustard heard this, he had nothing more to ask, so he nodded, and bent down to loosen a corner of the rope that was tied to the monster.

But at the moment when the rope was loosened, the catfish demon immediately changed his face, his expression suddenly became fierce, and he pounced on the old bustard with a bloody mouth!

We all hurriedly told the bustard to dodge, but the bustard did not panic this time, but just pulled the body he was holding in his hand suddenly, and the catfish demon who had just gotten up fell to the ground with a snap, and his body was tightly tied again. It turned out that the bustard had just unlocked a movable gap, and as soon as the rope was pulled, the gap would be closed immediately, and the catfish demon would be tied again.

The old bustard laughed, turned his head to me and said: "Xu Xuan, have you seen it, demons are like this, those who are fake are pretending, you have to know when you first enter this industry, the demon on the other side should not be sentimental, the country can change its nature and is difficult to change, and the face of the demon is just evil." ”

I nodded as if I didn't understand. From that moment on, my feelings for demons evolved from fear to disgust. This sentence of the old bustard touched me deeply, that is, this sentence of the old bustard, which has affected me for a lifetime.

The old bustard turned his head to look at the catfish, and the catfish's face showed a very frightened look.

The old bustard smiled again: "Don't be afraid. The catfish is black and not slippery, with a fat head and a fat tail, and the meat is still hard to eat, tsk, sir, I hate eating this fish the most on weekdays, I won't be yours, and I want to keep you to guide us. ”

But as soon as the bustard's words fell, he suddenly remembered a deafening snap, and then looked at the catfish monster, with a surprised expression on his face, and his eyes widened, and at this time a bloody hole appeared on the top of his head, and white smoke came out of it.

All of us immediately turned our backs to look, but in the distance in the darkness, a figure faced us, holding a pistol with white eyes, and on its head was a bronze-colored sheep's head with a strange face.
