Chapter 234: Corpse Eater

"Auntie, the kitten's illness is no longer a big problem, and I should also go. Lin Yun gently stroked the sleeping child and said to the aunt on the side.

"Thank you, young man. The aunt brought half a bag of rice and handed it to Lin Yun.

"No, no, no, it's my way to thank you. Lin Yun's face flushed, treating these people was just to accumulate merit and exchange for food, but he didn't expect to be able to make the people respect him so much.

"We, the poor people, are really going to get sick, and we can only resist by ourselves, where can we afford to go to the hospital to see a doctor?" the aunt smiled and waved her hand. In their opinion, it was really rare for a young monk like Lin Yun to be so kind.

What's more, Lin Yun doesn't have any shelf at all when he interacts with ordinary people, and he is very different from those masters with their nostrils facing the sky.

"Then I'll take my leave. Lin Yun picked up half a bag of rice on his back and put it together for ten.

It had been seven full days since Lin Yun and Jian Er came to Foguang Temple. In the past seven days, Lin Yun has helped the poor people around him a lot, and the power of merit has also been condensed a lot.

"Slow, too slow. After going out, Lin Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly, the merit obtained by treating the people was really minimal, even if he worked hard to do good deeds day and night, it was not at all comparable to the speed of cultivation.

What's more, good deeds are not something that can be done all the time, it takes a certain amount of chance, no wonder those masters who covet the invincible secret method of Foguang Temple have chosen to give up.

"It seems that I have to think of something else, and if I am cured, I will become a Langzhong. After laughing at himself, seeing that it was getting late, Lin Yun walked in the direction of Foguang Temple. There are many people in the city, and the body method is always unleashed.

Seeing Lin Yun coming towards him, a middle-aged man on the street who was pacing around, looking very anxious, was ecstatic, his face was a little pale, his body was skinny, and his long shirt was empty and ill-fitting, and he seemed to be a landed talent.

After seven days of getting along, Lin Yun, the people nearby, can almost be named, the middle-aged man in front of him is indeed a scholar, named Yu Yi, and the people nearby call him Ah Yi.

Ah Yi is quite famous in this generation, and even Lin Yun has heard a lot of his "legends". Ah Yi's ancestors were originally rich and noble, and there were even some monks who were not weak in their ancestors. But the more he went on, the more the family withered, and when it came to Ah Yi's generation, his parents and wife also died early, leaving him alone and a three-year-old child to rely on each other.

As the so-called useless is a scholar, Ah Yi has no specialty, so in order to make a living, he had to sell a few fields.

At this point, apart from books and a tattered ancestral house, Ah Yi couldn't even take out a few taels of silver.

It is rumored in the city that Ah Yi is a lonely star, his parents are young and his wife is young, and even now that he is middle-aged, his son is often sick. Therefore, although the surrounding people sympathized with him, they were also reluctant to associate with him more, for fear of being affected.

said that Ah Yi saw Lin Yun coming, fell down in front of the latter and bowed, kowtowing three times in a row.

"This big brother, what are you doing?" Seeing that blood stains appeared on the top of Ah Yi's head in an instant, Lin Yun hurriedly helped him up.

Ah Yi raised his head, tears were already streaming down his face, and he choked up: "Brother Lin Yun, please, save my son, I am such a son, but now he is ...... But he ......"

Lin Yun grabbed Ah Yi's wrist and quietly poured a trace of mana into his body, smoothing out some disordered aura in his body for him, and then asked, "Your son, what's wrong with him?"

Ah Yi knelt on the ground, snorted and tearfully said, "He, he, he was captured by the demon beast!"

"Demon beast!" Lin Yun was startled.

Although the demon beasts have all opened their spiritual intelligence, many of them are not very intelligent due to their low cultivation, and it is still their nature to eat people. He couldn't imagine that a demon beast would be a catastrophe for a three-year-old child.

Ah Yi nodded painfully, he has never had any friends, and even if he did, it would be useless to face the fierce demon beast, and the young man in front of him was his last straw.

But this straw may also be the last straw that overwhelmed his "camel". The three-year-old child was his last relative in this world, and if the child died, he would probably lose his last faith and commit suicide.

"Where!" Lin Yun showed his momentum, grabbed Ah Yi's wrist and lifted it up, shouting: "Point in the direction!"

Seeing that Lin Yun was willing to help, Ah Yi was overjoyed, he wiped his face mixed with snot and tears, and hurriedly pointed in a direction.

At this time, Lin Yun couldn't care much anymore, and pulled Ah Yi to the sky, and the mana in his body was urged to the extreme, sweeping towards the direction pointed by Ah Yi at the fastest speed in his life.

"Why didn't you come early?" Lin Yun said with disgust as he flew across the roof.

Feeling that he was being carried up and down by Lin Yun, Ah Yi was suddenly frightened, and said resignedly: "I heard that you are treating the kitten, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid...... Excuse me. ”

"Confused!" Lin Yun was angry.

After flying about half a pillar of incense, the two saw a dilapidated earthen house outside the city from a distance, which should be the ancestral house left to him by Ah Yizu.

Seeing the door of the house from afar, Ah Yi couldn't help but shed tears again, and said to Lin Yun: "Xiao Wu'er is playing outside the door today, I watched the beast take him away, pity my child......" Xiao Wu'er is Ah Yi's three-year-old son, Ah Yi's body trembled slightly, and the gray fingernails were deeply embedded in the flesh and blood.

"How can you be sure it's a demon beast?" Lin Yun was a little puzzled. It is not difficult to see that Ah Yi is just an ordinary person, and he has no cultivation at all, how can he tell if it is a beast or a demon beast?

Ah Yi sniffled and gave Lin Yun a rough explanation. It turns out that although Ah Yi is not a monk, he likes to read the scrolls of demon beasts the most on weekdays, and he knows monsters very well. The eyes of the little beast that took Xiao Wu'er away were extraordinary, and the eyes were not like the eyes of a beast, but at first glance, they were demon beasts that had opened their minds.

"You mean, it's a little beast, and it's opened up the spiritual wisdom?" Lin Yun's heart calmed down a little, if it was a demon beast that had just been cultivated, the spiritual wisdom would be like a child, maybe it just wanted to play with Xiao Wu'er, and Xiao Wu'er might really have the possibility of being rescued.

"Yes, I'm sure. Hearing Lin Yun's question, Ah Yi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with great certainty.

Lin Yun nodded, took a few steps forward, and the power of the primordial spirit extended uncontrollably, hoping to find clues in the place where the incident occurred.

The hard work paid off, and under the careful investigation of the Yuan Shen, Lin Yun finally found some clues, he squatted down, and gently stroked the faintly visible footprints on the ground with his hand, and next to the footprints, there was a strand of gray hair.

The strand of hair was a little like a tiger's hair, but not as long as a tiger's hair, and it seemed to be more like a cat's hair.

"What is the size of the beast?" Lin Yun asked.

Ah Yi recalled for a moment, awkwardly gestured with his hand a few times, and said, "Probably, it's that big." ”

Lin Yun narrowed his eyes, and according to Ah Yi's analogy, the demon beast that took Xiao Wu'er didn't seem to be big, so it was mistaken for a small beast by Ah Yi.

"You're waiting here. Lin Yun instructed Ah Yi, and the Yuan Shen locked on the row of footprints, and then he followed the string of footprints that were like nothing.

The footprints were shallow at first, but then deepened after a few miles. Lin Yun touched the ground, the soil quality here was no different from the soil quality at the door of Ah Yi's ancestral house, that is to say, the demon beast seemed to slow down here and walk leisurely.

Fortunately, he didn't see any blood in the vicinity, and there was not the slightest smell of blood, so it seems that Xiao Wu'er should not have been killed.

After walking some distance, the footprints disappeared strangely, as if the demon beast had disappeared in place.

"What's going on?" Lin Yun frowned, this seemed to make some sense, could it be that the demon beast couldn't fly, or could it jump away from the treetops like a human monk?

Taking out that strand of gray hair, Lin Yun thought about everything, maybe the demon beast was really a kind of cat, a kind of gray cat that liked to eat people. It is a cat's talent to climb trees, and there are indeed a dozen large trees near the footprints.

Lin Yun raised his head, carefully searching each tree by the setting sun, his eyes swept over one tree after another, and just when he was about to give up hope, he suddenly noticed that there was a small hole above the trunk of a locust tree that was about to wither.

After concentrating the original spirit, he found that the hole that seemed to be the size of a bowl was actually the size of a millstone, but the hole was firmly covered by the leaves of the locust tree, which interfered with his vision.

"Hmph, cunning brute, deserve to die. Lin Yun muttered to himself coldly. The land of Yiqi Country is quite fertile, and this locust tree is also full of three people hugging each other, although it can only be regarded as sparse and ordinary in Yiqi Kingdom, but it is more than enough for a demon beast to settle in the tree.

What's more, this locust tree has a tendency to wither, which just means that the trunk has been hollowed out, and other than that, I am afraid there is no other explanation.

"Demon beast, get out. Lin Yun shouted, although he was not afraid of demon beasts, he was afraid of accidentally injuring Xiao Wu'er.

"Meow-" A shrill cat meow came from the top of the tree, and a gray cat looked down at Lin Yun condescendingly, his eyes full of vigilance. Its size is much larger than that of ordinary cats, with gray-green pupils and two teeth on the upper jaw, which looks extremely fierce and has no cat dexterity at all.

After staring at the gray cat for a while, a wave of anger suddenly rose in Lin Yun's chest. He had seen this cat in ancient books, it was called the corpse eater cat, and it was born to eat corpses for a living, and preferred to kill its prey first and store it in a hole, and then eat it after the corpse decomposed.

It's just that he didn't expect that this corpse devouring cat would actually feed on human corpses after cultivating into a demon beast. In this way, it is very likely that Xiao Wu'er has encountered an accident.

"Death!" Lin Yun drank coldly.
