Chapter Thirty-Eight: Unsuccessful Monster Hunting
He Chong followed these people to the village, and he asked them what they were doing just now, and some villagers told him that they walked around the village to see when the monsters came and how they entered the village.
The thin old man called He Chong over and asked him, "What is your name?" I think you should have practiced martial arts, whose apprentice is it? ”
He Chong still replied to him with a fake name: "My name is Qiu Shishi, and I don't know who my master is, he just called me some simple self-defense skills." Who are you?"
When the thin old man heard what he said, he was frightened enough and said, "Simple kung fu?
He Chong said: "I need money, I have to stay." Who the hell are you? Why do you ask so much?"
The old man looked at him and said, "I can tell you who I am, my name is Nie Yuntian, those four are my junior disciples, and the five of us rely on our ability to catch demons in the rivers and lakes." ”
At the mention of the word Jianghu, He Chong felt a cold wind blowing through his heart, and he was afraid that if he ran into some acquaintances, he would not be able to stay here anymore. He asked, "Which sect are you from?"
"We are a small faction in the rivers and lakes, but there is a dispensable kind, so it doesn't matter if the sect is the sect, our senior brother is our eldest brother, and there are seven of us in total. There are only six of them. My elder brother Xiao Lie is famous, but the six of us are just doing business in the streets and alleys, and we are not as famous as him. ”
He Chong was so frightened that if he ran into it, his whereabouts would be discovered, and when the time came, he would be pointed at by the people on the rivers and lakes, how would he live?
"But," Nie Yuntian said, "he's catching demons over there in Jincaipu now, which is hundreds of miles away from here, and we're afraid we won't get any help from him." You're here, so be a helper. I'll call my brother and we'll talk about how to catch this monster. ”
He Chong heard that Xiao Lie was not in this area, and his heart was much more steady. He said, "Okay, I can fight, but I don't know how to catch demons, and you have to teach me how to do it." ”
Nie Yuntian said: "Yes, with a kung fu foundation, it is not difficult to learn some spells." I'm going to call them. ”
The phrase "hoe the strong and help the weak, and maintain the justice of the rivers and lakes" was on everyone's lips when he was in the Liuyun Sword Sect, and now He Chong felt frightened when he thought of this sentence, afraid that he would accidentally say it, when he talked to Nie Yuntian just now, he almost said it, and forced himself to swallow it, he felt very awkward.
After a while, Nie Yuntian brought his five brothers over and introduced him, namely Xiao Yuanming, Fei Donglin, Yu Wensheng, Chi Hao and Wen Bo. Xiao Yuanming is Xiao Lie's own brother.
He Chong saw that they were all veterans of demon hunting, and he thought that he might be able to learn a lot of spells from them, and he thought it was not bad.
Nie Yuntian said: "The monsters here are dark red animals that have evolved from demon methods, and they have been cultivating for hundreds of years, and they can transform into human forms, hurting people and killing people in this area. ”
He Chong said: "Isn't this kind of animal only found in the northwest area? How can it appear here?" He Chong had heard Shen Peng say about this animal before, although he had never seen it with his own eyes.
Chi Hao said: "I know this, but now that it is here, it must be destroyed." ”
He Chong said, "Then how can we eliminate it?"
Nie Yuntian said: "We took a look in the village, this guy comes back here every night, its demon skills are stronger than the six of us combined, and the chance of destroying it is very small, so we can only take one step at a time." ”
He Chong said: "I don't know what it looks like, how can I recognize it?"
Several old men were a little discouraged, indeed, he had not practiced spells, he did not have the eyesight to distinguish monsters, and no matter how much he had the ability, he had nowhere to play.
Wen Bo said, "Well, I'll pass on some of our mana to you, and teach you some skills, how about it?"
He Chong thought about it and felt very good, very happy, and said, "You are willing to teach, I am willing to learn." ”
Yu Wensheng smiled and said, "If everyone cooperates, you won't be afraid." ”
Nie Yuntian said: "Okay, I'll pass on the skill to you, you ......" Nie Yuntian pinched He Chong's wrist, wanting to pass on his skill to He Chong, but suddenly felt wrong, he looked at He Chong in surprise.
He Chong didn't know why he looked at himself like this, he closed his own power to prevent others from feeling that he had internal strength, could it be that this was felt by Nie Yuntian?
Nie Yuntian said coldly: "You know martial arts, and you are a person with deep internal strength, right?"
When the other five people heard this, they all looked at He Chong suspiciously.
He Chong's heart was cold, he wanted to run, but his wrist was pressed by Nie Yuntian, if someone was lucky, he might die. He was anxious.
Nie Yuntian asked him, "Which sect are you?" I feel that your internal strength is not cultivated by a certain sect, but by the combination of many kinds of internal strength. Who taught you?"
He Chong was afraid, afraid that they would harm him if he told the truth, so he tried his best to break free and wanted to run. Nie Yuntian grabbed his wrist and didn't let go.
Xiao Yuanming looked at He Chong and said, "Second brother, don't scare him, I don't think this little brother is a bad person, there should be something unspeakable, let's not embarrass him." After speaking, he turned to He Chong and said, "Little Brother Qiu, don't be afraid, you are not a bad person, and we will not hurt you." We just want to work with you to destroy the monsters and make some money. If you are willing to stay, we will do it together, if you don't agree, we won't be difficult for you, you go yours, we will continue to do our own work. ”
Nie Yuntian also felt that he had gone too far, and when He Chong stopped struggling, he let go of his hand and said, "Okay, you are willing to stay, according to what I just said, we will teach you spells, but I will not pass on your skills to you, your skills are above me." I don't need to pass it on to you at all. ”
He Chong thought about it, it was a righteous move to destroy the monsters, and he could make some money and continue to go north, so why not do it? He nodded and said, "I just don't have spells, you practice spells, I thought that your internal skills were different from mine, so I hope you pass on your skills to me." ”
Nie Yuntian said: "It's the same, but the method of practicing is different. So, there is no need to pass on the gong to you. ”
Chi Hao said: "I'll tell you the way to destroy this monster, you practice hard, since your internal strength is above my second brother, maybe you can help a lot." ”
He Chong thought about it, nodded, and said, "You still have to tell me how we can do it together." ”
Nie Yuntian said: "Of course, Brother Chi Xian will teach you spells first." ”
Chi Hao told He Chong about their spells, and He Chong felt dizzy when he heard it, the idea of these spells was very different from the martial arts he practiced, and there were even some evil sects. He Chong felt that these things were like witchcraft, which made him feel sick.
Chi Hao explained to him for a long time, and he seemed to understand a little. When practicing these "demon arts", Chi Hao was on the side to give him guidance, and He Chong felt as if he had fallen into a monster hole. However, his profound internal skills helped him learn these things quickly.
He Chong didn't like this thing, but he was helpless.
At night, Nie Yuntian arranged for the villagers to hide. They asked He Chong to put on his night clothes and wander around the village to attract the attention of Dark Chi, and the six of them guarded the six street entrances. Let He Chong immediately run to the nearest location when he saw Dark Chi, and the nearest person lit a cannon to spread the news, and everyone turned together to kill it.
He Chong wandered around the village at night, feeling a little scared, he didn't like to run into monsters, Tie Dixian, Xiao Lie and Guan Baoheng all did this, how could they not be afraid? He couldn't figure it out.
He didn't dare to go too far away from them, so he walked around them, and he knew that after a long time, the youkai would be suspicious when they saw it. Finally, he gritted his teeth and walked into the distance.
A green light fell from the sky and fell behind He Chong, and a black and slimy thing appeared behind He Chong, because there was no sound, He Chong didn't know that the monster was behind him.
It saw He Chong wandering around the village, it seemed to be looking for something, it was very strange, so it followed He Chong, wherever He Chong looked, he looked where, He Chong stopped to think, it also stopped and waited for He Chong. He Chong felt that the monster should not come tonight. I walked back, turned my head, and saw the black guy, his eyes were shining black, and he could see his own appearance, he was screaming, and the monster was screaming.
At this time, He Chong remembered the spell that Chi Hao gave him, his mind was messed up, and he said nonsense, a lot of things were put together, and he couldn't use any spells. The monster saw him screaming and screaming.
He Chong was also frightened when he saw it, so he ran away. When the monster saw that he was afraid of himself, he chased after him. He Chong was afraid that Nie Yuntian and they could see which sect he was from his martial arts path, so he had not used his internal strength, and he had no choice but to lift his internal force and move forward quickly. The monster was surprised and chased after it desperately.
He Chong yelled, hoping that the six old men would come out to help him quickly, but he was in the north of the village, and the six were concentrated in the south of the center of the village, so angry that he cried, and said in his heart, why is it so far away, if they don't come out again, my life will be gone.
When the monster was about to catch up with him, he saw six old men rushing towards him, babbling incessantly. He Chong hurriedly flew and fell behind the six old men, each of the six old men used their own skills, and six different lights shot out from his palm, heading straight for the monster, hitting the monster, the monster screamed, but it didn't fall, it seemed to be fine just in pain. The six old men struck again, hoping to defeat each other, but they were a little overwhelmed.
Chi Hao shouted to He Chong: "What are you waiting for?
He Chong came to his senses and hurriedly made a move, he was so excited that he couldn't remember those mantras, and as soon as he was excited, he grabbed a branch from the ground and used the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, the Meteor Sword Technique and the Whirlwind Leg, but these things were useless against people at all, and the monster was kicked and beaten with a succession, but he was not injured.
Chi Hao asked him loudly, "Brother Shi, what are you doing, why don't you use the spells I teach you?"
Who is Brother Shi? He Chong was confused, he forgot his fake name, so he thought that he was He Chong, and when he woke up, the monster slapped him and slapped him
The six old men were knocked down, then vanished into a black mist.
Nie Yuntian was in terrible pain, lying on the ground panting, unable to speak. He Chong hurried over to help them, and it took them a while before they stood up.
Nie Yuntian looked at He Chong and said, "It's still not good." After saying that, he turned around and left.
The other five old men comforted He Chong and left. He Chong felt very uncomfortable standing there, he was not good at learning, he couldn't help, and he let the monster go, I'm afraid it won't be easy to catch the monster again.
