Chapter 148: Demons
Bai Shuo looked at the house in front of him, which could be said to have just been patronized by the demolition team, it was messy, and the entire courtyard seemed to be washed by a flood, and it was so miserable that it couldn't be worse.
In the original play, the small courtyard with a farmhouse flavor has become ugly, the wall has been torn down with two large holes, the door panel has fallen to the ground, and the house is as if it has been searched by a mob, and there is nothing that is slightly complete.
Two rolling pins were left in the empty courtyard, and a cold wind blew, and the rolling pins rolled and made a soft gurgling sound.
The lonely and miserable situation made Bai Shuo's heart fall to the bottom.
Just when Bai Shuo thought that things couldn't have gotten any worse, something worse happened again.
Because Bai Shuo found that the gourd vine was gone.
The gourd vine that can produce seven gourd babies with great magical powers is gone.
Bai Shuo remembered that in the plot, the gourd vine was planted in the yard, but now, he could only find a piece of worthless weed in the yard.
Eventually, he found traces of dirt in a clearing in the corner, and the successive discoveries made his mood worse and worse.
Before the gourd seeds germinated, they were dug up.
And Bai Shuo felt that if it was the main god, there would definitely be a way to make his mood worse.
As the sun slowly set, under the dim sky, a cold wind blew, and a strange sound sounded in the corner.
Bai Shuo's body twisted suddenly: "Who! ”
Before he could finish speaking, his body had vanished into place, leaving a trail of deep footprints in the dirt that shattered the barrier of the wall, and the palm that followed the sound clasped a living creature that still had the breath of life.
"Rao...... Life! The king spares his life! "Some strange screams rang out from behind the dust, weak and frightened, like frightened little animals.
Bai Shuo's gaze pierced through the dust and saw what he was grabbing.
A pangolin with a miserable appearance, with its scales peeling off and covered in black blood?
It took Bai Shuo quite a long time to recognize what the creature in his hand was, after all, he had never seen a real pangolin look other than the animal world; Besides, it's still a pangolin that is already so miserable.
The body was covered with wounds, most of the scale armor had fallen off, and one of his legs was broken, and there was a huge wound on his back, and the pangolin was lying on the ground trembling, not daring to make a sound.
"You're a pangolin?" Bai Shuo frowned, squatted down and looked at the monster that had been miserable to the extreme: "What about the original owner here?" ”
After hesitating for a moment, the pangolin replied tremblingly: "Yes, I was captured." ”
Bai Shuo sighed: "Snake spirit and scorpion spirit made of?" ”
"How do you know?" The pangolin raised his head and was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted again, lying on the ground and trembling again: "I didn't mean to, the king spares his life, spares his life, I really don't taste good......"
"Get up for me! Didn't say I was going to eat you. Bai Shuo said a little irritably, his eyes lit up with a red golden fire: "I ask, you answer, if you say something wrong or dare to lie to me, I will throw you out of here." ”
"Yes, yes." The pangolin had already been frightened by the successive encounters, and nodded tremblingly.
"When did the snake spirit and the scorpion spirit escape?"
Thinking that he had accidentally released the monster, the pangolin trembled even more: "Six, six days ago." ”
"When were the people here taken away?"
The pangolin's body curled up together, and his voice said with a cry: "Yesterday at noon, two flying monsters jumped down from the sky and captured their benefactor......
Very good...... Bai Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, the plot had just begun, and the old man must not die.
Looking at the pangolin's eyes, Bai Shuo said, "Last question, what about gourd seeds?" ”
"Gourd...... Rattan...... I, I don't know...... What gourd seeds? ”
Hearing Bai Shuo's question, the pangolin began to tremble again, obviously thinking of the consequences of not having gourd seeds, but he was still reluctant to say it.
Bai Shuo took a deep breath, and the terrifying red-gold fire in his eyes increased the brightness again: "Mountain God's gourd seeds, don't let me say it a second time." ”
The huge pressure made the pangolin crawl on the ground and tremble, and after squeaking and whining for a long time, he finally screamed and said something that made Bai Shuo's heart sink to the bottom.
"The gourd seeds were also taken away by the youkai......"
"It sucks." Bai Shuo's fist slammed into the ground angrily, and a muffled sound came from the earth, and a huge crack appeared.
The pangolin shuddered again and did not dare to speak.
After thinking for a while, Bai Shuo looked at the trembling pangolin on the ground and said, "Can you still move?" ”
"Also...... Can you still ...... Right? …… Yes~! ”
Without waiting for the pangolin to finish stumbling, Bai Shuo scooped it up from the ground and put it on his shoulder: "Grasp it, and then show the way." ”
"What?" The pangolin didn't react and stared at him blankly.
"Show the way! Where are the basilisk and scorpion elves' lair? Don't you talk about how to snatch back the gourd vine and the old man! ”
Bai Shuo looked at the pangolin who hadn't reacted a little weakly: "Otherwise, what am I doing here?" ”
"Aren't you here to eat me?" The pangolin covered his eyes with two small paws and asked tremblingly, "Aren't you with the goblins?" ”
"I'm human! See, where do I look like a monster? Bai Shuo couldn't help but be angry again in his heart, he can be regarded as having good facial features, right? Does he look like a villain like that?
"Besides, you don't look good at all! Now, lead the way! ”
Bai Shuo pulled the pangolin's claws off its face: "Otherwise, it will be all over when the old man dies." ”
"Yes, yes! Over there, over there! The pangolin lay on Bai Shuo's shoulder and pointed to another mountain in the distance: "After going down from here, cross the two rivers, and then cross the two ditches, and you can ......."
Bai Shuo interrupted it: "It's too troublesome, there's no time, take a shortcut." ”
"What's near...... Yes! ”
Just before it could finish speaking, it saw Bai Shuo bend down. In the next moment, Bai Shuo's feet left a huge depression on the ground, and his body turned into an afterimage. Like a high jumper running for a long time before jumping, Bai Shuo didn't care about the cliff in front of him, and his speed did not weaken at the last moment, so he used it on the edge of the cliff and jumped.
So a sea of clouds and a strong wind swept in, and the pangolin's terrified cries grew longer and longer, until they were swallowed up by a cloud that was slightly dim in the setting sun.
―――――――――――――――――― in the dark cavern, there were strange and terrifying voices from time to time, and a dark light pierced through a gap in the roof of the cave and shone on the old man's face.
The faint change of light woke him from his slumber, and it took a moment to realize what this place was.
"Old man, are you awake?" A faint silhouette appeared in the darkness, with a hint of hunger, and under that light appeared a strange face covered with scales and shaped like a crocodile, looking at the old man's body. He tilted his head to the darkness and asked, "Isn't it possible to eat it, my lord?" Just eat it. ”
From the darkness came a woman's chuckle, like a viper's spit core: "Bear with me, and in a few days, make a full moon feast for my children with his flesh and blood......"
The old man breathed hard, and the old man who was bound to the stone pillar made a muddy sound like a bellows, slowly raised his head, looked at the strange face close at hand, showed a smile, and then ...... "Phew!" ”
In an instant, the fishy wind paved the surface, and the big mouth that was enough to chew the old man to pieces stopped in front of the old man, but he couldn't move forward.
I don't know when a thick palm stretched out from the darkness, dozens of times thicker than ordinary humans, and the giant-like palm grabbed the tail of the crocodile monster, making him only a little away from the delicacy, but he couldn't move forward.
"Mother said you can't eat it."
There was a faint scarlet that made the crocodile monster shudder in the darkness, and it nodded in a panic and showed a flattering smile: "Don't eat, don't eat." ”
The stout hand silently let go, and returned to the darkness. There was a faint darkness in the darkness, and the figures overlapped, and I don't know how many demons and ghosts were seated.
"Someone's coming." It was somewhat similar to the voice just now, but it was different: "A man, and a very ugly pangolin." ”
The whispering sound of the darkness was like a chaotic whispered quarrel between several brothers.
"Can you eat it?"
"Grill it, right?"
"It's better to cook and eat."
"Tear it up and eat it separately, right?"
"When you separate, you don't have ......"
...... "are all brothers, quarreling and quarrelling, what kind of system? The seductive and cold female voice sounded again. The vague silhouette perched high on the highest part of the nest leaned back in a chair, a curly snake tail slowly wriggling, chilling the heart.
"Sister, what do you say?" The woman who looked like a poisonous snake turned her head to look at the black shadow beside her: "Take the Ruyi mirror and take a look." ”
"Do you need to say that?" Another female voice sounded, and then the outline of a treasure mirror appeared in the darkness, and a faint light illuminated the two identical faces.
Two equally beautiful, but slightly different, faces appeared in the dim light - they were snake demons, but they possessed a beauty that most humans could not match.
The younger sister, who looked a little childish, but was obviously dominant, raised her head, her scarlet lips opened slightly, and pointed to the silhouette sitting in the darkness and said, "Chief Crocodile, you take the toad and the centipede to catch those two little things." ”
And in the darkness beside them, a burly and hideous silhouette stood up: "Since I came out, I haven't seen blood food for a long time, so I'm going to try it." ”
"Then brother-in-law, you have to be careful." The snake demon crossed over the seat, his palm supporting his chin, and with a pitiful delicateness, he said to the monster called his brother-in-law, "If you die, people will be sad." ”
The hideous black shadow leaned in to see her face, and the ugly face was almost enchanted by this charm: "Haha, I know, I know. ”
"Hmph." The cold snort of another snake demon came from the darkness, which made it shiver, looked at his wife, and sneered: "Lady, wait a minute, come when you go." ”
The slightly older snake demon snorted coldly and said, "Then don't go quickly!" ”
In the midst of the confusion, darkness swelled, and the old man bound to the stone pillar struggled to see their number, but was dizzy in the inky darkness.
All the while, only the five child-sized shadows in the corner of the wall did not move.
Eventually, the only sound of dripping water remained in the silence of the cavern. In the depths of the darkness, the filthy water source slowly gathered under the spell of the snake demon, full of all kinds of evil qi and poisonous black water seeped into the soil little by little, absorbed by the roots of the plant, and gathered in the fruit, so the two fruits hanging in the air were a little bigger.
The old man suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, but he didn't dare to admit it.
In the midst of this torment, through the thick stone walls, the earth suddenly trembled slightly, and a violent roar like an explosion seeped into the cave, as if the omen of an earthquake, and the uneasy sound of the demons was heard in the darkness.
After a moment of shaking, an indifferent voice came from the four black shadows that had not moved, and it was the second of them.
It was as if watching a very funny farce, and the child exclaimed, "The centipede, the toad, the crocodile, all are dead, and my uncle is dying." ”
