Chapter 3: The Haunted Demon Forest (3)

"I'm so sorry."

The girl in red, who was still arrogant just now, was instantly ashamed, and her face turned crimson.

"It's okay, if you don't fight, you won't know each other."

Ding Ling breathed a sigh of relief, after being a demon hunter for so long, it was the first time he had fought with someone.

"Hey, young master, why have you become so shameless now? You're bullying a girl? The iron rat interjected at an inopportune time, for fear that the words would fall to the ground.

"Big brother, don't be funny, no, she's going to kill me." Ding Lingxiu looked helpless.

"Hehe, don't blame him, I misunderstood him."

The girl pulled out her sword from the tree, and walked over with a smile like a flower, just like the fierce look just now.

"Oh, what a stunning beauty, no, the poor monk will break the precepts if he looks at it again." The steel rat looked at it with straight eyes and silently recited Amitabha.

"Big brother, you can save it, you deserve it with a monk, you don't have any of the seven emotions and six desires." Ding Lingxiu glanced at the iron rat and said.

"It's done, it's over, the poor monk has retired." The iron rat waved his hand and shook his big iron teeth.

"Goodbye, Brother Mouse." Ding Lingxiu smiled and said goodbye to the iron rat.

The incantation was recited again, and the iron rat turned into a red light and merged into the book.

"This little mouse is so cute." The girl reluctantly watched the iron rat return to the book, and wanted to touch it.

"Rats? This guy turned out to be an enlightened monk. Ding Lingxiu closed the book and said slowly.

"Attained monks?" The girl was incredible.

"Yes, before the iron rat became a demon, he was originally a monk of Xiangguo Temple, and his law name was empty, and he cultivated extremely high, traveling around to eliminate disasters for the residents of the surrounding villages, and his reputation once spread throughout the country." Ding Lingxiu said.

"Then how did it become a demon?"

"That's a long story, back then, the crown prince of the imperial court had a strange disease, couldn't sleep at night, the whole person became muddy and listless, the emperor summoned the country's famous doctors and strange people to come to treat, but nothing could be done. At this time, someone recommended Master Empty Silence, and the emperor personally visited the temple and begged the master to save him. This master of emptiness has always saved people, regardless of his status, nobility and poverty, and naturally unconditionally decided to help the emperor heal the crown prince. When Master Empty Silence came to the palace to meet the prince, he immediately found that the prince was haunted by a monster called a demon called a ghost, this kind of monster resentment was extremely strong, and ordinary heavenly masters and Taoist priests did not dare to provoke it lightly, so they shirked it and couldn't cure it. But Master Empty Silence was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to watch the crown prince being sucked to death by monsters, so he proposed a way to exorcise demons to the emperor. ”

"What's the solution?" As a demon hunter, the girl is naturally interested in exorcism.

"That is, to build a ten-zhang high altar in the palace, and set up nine pillars on the altar, all carved from white marble. The altar is paved with bluestone. The altar is an open-air three-layer circle, symbolizing the heavenly dome. The altar was to be surrounded by a triple stone fence, and two reverse walls were set up outside the altar to cope with the 'hanging image from heaven'. After the altar is built, the master of emptiness will perform the method of exorcism for the prince. ”

"Wow, this setting is to collect the aura of the sky to subdue demons, it really sets up a feng shui situation." The girl sighed, and couldn't help but admire the cute mouse just now.

"Yes, the Phantom is a ghost-level demon, and if you don't do this, you can't get rid of it on your own. However, Master Konglun's idea was blocked by the traitors of the palace, who originally wanted to set up another crown prince, so they designed to kill Master Konglun, and sent him to death row in the name of his beleading words. Ding Lingxiu said this, and couldn't help but feel sorry.

"Hey, from ancient times to the present, there have always been such things, and good people are not rewarded." The girl also pouted helplessly.

"Master Kongshan was framed and imprisoned, and he did not resent anyone, he thought that this was destined by God and his destiny, so he continued to devote himself to cultivation in prison and participated in meditation and enlightenment. Unexpectedly, the charm is a demon of all evils, who does not forgive the master of empty silence, bewitches the emperor, and asks the emperor to order the killing of the master of empty silence. Although the master of emptiness is a bodhisattva, at this time, when he sees the charm doing so much evil and dies like this, the government and the opposition will inevitably be in chaos, and the people in the world will not be able to live. He was filled with grief and anger, and with the help of the demonic power of the rat spirit in prison, his body turned into an iron rat, and he broke the shackles in the form of a demon and escaped from prison. And found the succubus and fought it to the death, only to lose both, and the succubus lost its magic power for a thousand years and fled the palace. The iron rat retreated to the mountains and forests and continued to concentrate on cultivation. ”

Ding Lingxiu told the story of the iron rat, and his slender fingers rubbed the quaint cover of the brown book.

"I really can't imagine that this monster would have such an extraordinary experience." The girl was very emotional.

"Of course, the monsters that can enter the True Hundred Ghost Diagram all have their own stories and spell poems." Ding Lingxiu said.

"Wow, your Hundred Ghost Diagram is still a real Hundred Ghost Diagram?"

The girl was so surprised that she couldn't help but want to touch Ding Lingxiu's brown book, but was stopped by Ding Lingxiu.

"That's right, this is the green dragon scroll of the true hundred ghost diagram in my hand, which is often referred to as the green dragon hundred ghost diagram."

"You're so lucky to have the Blue Dragon Hundred Ghost Diagram at such a young age." The girl's face was full of envy.

"Hehe, ancestor, by the way, I haven't asked you what your name is?"

"Me, my name is Xia Xianyao, and I am also a demon hunter, what about you?"

Xia Xianyao said with a smile, Ding Lingxiu looked at her cute appearance and found that she was only cold when facing monsters, but she was actually a cute girl who was very easy to contact.

"My name is Ding Lingxiu, just like you, a demon catcher." Ding Lingxiu rarely introduces his profession to others, so naturally he has nothing to say.

"Why are you here? Is it also here to catch the human face tree? ”

"yes, it's not surprising that I'm a demon hunter here."

"That's true, but why are you full of rain girl's demonic aura just now?"

"This can't be helped, the human-faced tree is extremely cunning, in order to prevent it from discovering my spiritual power, I have to borrow the demonic energy of the rain girl to help me cover up my spiritual power."

"You're such a thoughtful person." Xia Xianyao admired on her lips, but she was thoughtful in her heart.

The demon hunter usually pays the most attention to observing everyone's every move, looking for traces of demons and monsters, so although the two chatted very speculatively, Ding Lingxiu saw at a glance that Xia Xianyao had something in his heart, and at the same time guessed a rough idea.

"What? What's on your mind? Ding Lingxiu asked with a smile.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Xia Xianyao echoed and smiled, her expression was very unnatural.

"Don't worry, I don't have to hide it. I know the purpose of your trip, the human face tree will live for a hundred years, and conceive a son in fifty years. This kind of monster has a quirky personality, and rarely calls friends to accompany him, and now the demon spirit is scattered, which shows that there are a lot of monsters here, and with the character of the human-faced tree, it must be to protect it from conceiving a child. If I'm not mistaken, you saw this and came here to take the Human-Face Tree Seed. Ding Ling's cultivation broke through the mystery, and his bright eyes stared at Xia Xianyao.

"I really didn't expect that at such a young age, not only did you cultivate amazingly, but you could also see through my mind." Xia Xianyao said in astonishment.

"No, that's what it's like when you think about it. However, there is one thing that must be said, we can cooperate in demon hunting this time, but I only have one request, don't hurt the demon, I want to capture it alive. The tree seed can be given to you, and I must subdue the human-faced dryad. ”

"Great, of course it's okay, I just need that seed, and with your help, I can't ask for it."

"Okay, but, Sister Xian Yao, you have to promise me that if you encounter a monster again, don't be as reckless as just now, and be calm in everything."

"Got it." Xia Xianyao stretched out her right hand and swore solemnly.

"Okay, it's going to get dark, let's go."

Ding Lingxiu said, stood up, and the two of them picked up the bushes and walked deeper into the dense forest.
