The two-headed monster is menacing, not only will it use its aroma to affect people's nerves, but it is also very strong in physical attacks.

They stared at their bloodshot eyes, and fled quickly under the cover of darkness and the clutter around them, without even making a sound.

"Be careful, it's not gone yet..."The jealousy in Xuanxuan's eyes became more and more obvious, and she watched all the wind and grass around her intently.

"This thing... It's so weird, is it a ghost? Or something else? Although I don't know where Xuanxuan went before and why she suddenly appeared now, at least it also gave Qi Yan a little psychological comfort.

"It's not a ghost, otherwise it would have been discovered a long time ago, it should be a demon."

"Demon?!"

After hearing this word, Qi Yan was naturally shocked.

No one is unfamiliar with this kind of thing, even children know what it is, but... It's something more illusory than ghosts, and in the minds of ordinary people, it's a creature that only exists in myths.

In modern life, people often mention this word, but it is used as a metaphor, if you want to talk about the real sense of "demon", it is much more rare than seeing ghosts.

When I was a child, I watched film and television dramas such as Journey to the West, there were all kinds of demons and monsters, and anyone would find it very interesting at that time, those monsters were ever-changing, weird and unpredictable, and the types were very rich, ghosts were turned into people, but demons were different, they could be many other things.

In China, the most famous goblins are foxes, snakes, spiders, and so on......

I really never imagined that it was nothing to see ghosts in this small village surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there were still demons?

"What kind of youkai?"

Xuanxuan moved her fingers together, tied a complex knot with both hands with her Bodhi bracelet, and then protected it in front of her, and slowly turned her body to prevent every direction that the thing might kill.

"If it's an ordinary demon, then we should be able to detect it soon, right, the two women you said you saw in the evening...... That's it, right? ”

Qi Yan definitely nodded, "Well, before you came, I had already seen those two faces through the moonlight, I'm afraid it won't be so coincidental... This monster will attack people with many tentacles like whips, and the scent is coming from it, that's for sure! ”

After he finished speaking, Xuanxuan noticed that there was a thin piece of something on the ground, and took a closer look...... Is it a leaf like a maple leaf? It's the size of a palm, but it's dark green.

"That's right... I just saw its appearance a little clearly, and at first I wasn't sure what kind of demon it was, but combined with these characteristics...... Vine-like tentacles, scents, illusions, charms, and the leaves over there? ”

"It's a demon!"

Qi Yan held the steel rod, and Xuanxuan was back to back on guard against the movements around him, looking shocked, "? …… No, what's that... I've heard that trees can become demons, such as the grandma in "A Chinese Girl"...''Can you become a demon?'' ”

This one alone, its rarity is special than that of ordinary demons.

Generally speaking, when it comes to youkai, the first thing that comes to mind is some small spiritual animal, or bug, but plant...... Less, very little.

Xuanxuan is just guessing, but her analysis is almost correct: "According to Taoism in my country, everything has a spirit, and you can become a demon as soon as you open your wisdom."

This kind of plant is difficult, but don't forget ..... that although plants have little intelligence, they are not inferior to most animals when it comes to vitality. ”

"For a long time, it is inevitable that there will be no abnormalities, and if the plant wants to become a demon, the chance is very small, yes, but once it succeeds...... In all respects, they are comparable to ordinary foxes, weasels, snakes... And so on is much more difficult.

Now think about it carefully, everything is right, the mysterious aroma that can make people hallucinate is indeed the feeling of mountain incense, and the thing on Ding Lingzi's back... It's also a plant rhizome, and I already knew it before, not to mention that I saw it in person just now, and it's not far from ten! ”

"Like Lao Yan, Ding Lingzi and me, the reason why we didn't perceive its existence before is largely because the breath of this demon is too special, a plant that is closer to nature than animals, and in the mountains, the various breaths around it cover itself, maybe it is more appropriate to say assimilation."

"Ding Lingzi's perception is very keen, but she focuses on people, ghosts, and animals, so at that time she said that she couldn't detect the breath of humans, and ghosts, and even the breath of animals, that's because this monster is not one of the above-mentioned species at all......"

Qi Yan asked another key question, "Then judging from your professional perspective, how powerful is this demon?" ”

Xuanxuan is different from Li Ruoke, she is a serious head lowering master, not a new star god stick that only sells talismans, so her cognition of ghosts is very rigorous and accurate.

"Huh~~ To be honest, we are head descenders, and it is okay to perform some descending spells on ordinary people, or to control some yin spirits and ghosts, but the words of demons ...... But it's a bit out of the ordinary. People like to mix demons and monsters together, but these are actually two different things, and if you change to a Taoist priest who is proficient in the Taoist arts, it may be much simpler. ”

"But just thinking about it, I know that a demon can have such a flexible and free movement, and in this regard, it is definitely not a soft persimmon!"

Xuanxuan shook her head solemnly, she didn't recognize the identity of the enemy until now, and at first even Yan Bo thought it was a "ghost", and didn't think about the "demon" side.

But that's not surprising, after all, this kind of thing is too rare in today's society, rarer than ghosts or zombies!

There is a joking saying in China, called "After the founding of the People's Republic of China, you are not allowed to become a good man...", which sounds quite funny, but in fact it is not just a joke.

China has a long history, a vast land, not only a vast territory, but also a lot of aliens that exist in this land, but it is difficult for ordinary people to discover their existence.

Perhaps it would have been easier to encounter supernatural things in the era of war and riot a long time ago, but ...... After the founding of the new country, people's beliefs changed dramatically, and although this was only an ideological change, it had unlimited influence.

Especially in that ten-year catastrophe, most of the metaphysical things that stood on the bright side were destroyed one by one, and this frenzy of faith reform like a monstrous wave was unstoppable.

It's not a vicissitudes of life, but it's also a time has passed, and people are no longer as afraid of the might of gods and ghosts as they were in the feudal era...

The era of the end of the law has created the peak of people's belief in science, but on the contrary, it has also annihilated the fate of those who live in darkness and cannot be spoken.
