Chapter 162: Catching Demons
When the body was properly placed, he sent people to order funeral supplies such as coffins, and some people went home with pickaxes to dig up the grave.
The deceased is the greatest, and everything else has to be relied on, and when everything is arranged, he noticed Quanfu and Li Qiufan and others.
"Quanfu is back... Who are these people? ”
The fat man said, "We are from the Autumn Soul Office, and we just called you. ”
The village chief was stunned on the spot, these people were too young, but they still asked cautiously.
"You guys are really... Mage? ”
Before Li Qiufan could speak, Quan Fu stepped forward and said, "Second uncle, don't worry, they are mages, if it weren't for these young people, they wouldn't be able to come back!" Li Quanfu briefly told him what he saw in the car, the village chief was helpless by the monsters in the mountains, and now he can only use dead horses as live horse doctors.
Invite everyone home, the pot is steaming, the smell makes the stomach gurgle, from yesterday afternoon to this noon, no one has eaten, and now they are already hungry.
The village chief sat down with a few people, and his son and daughter-in-law served a large bowl of braised noodles for each person, and the side dishes in it were very rich, full of color, flavor, and taste, and people were moved by their appetites.
The village chief carried a cigarette pouch and said embarrassedly: "It's all coarse tea and light rice, and we rural people don't have anything to entertain you..."
"It's good to eat some, we're not picky eaters."
A few people ate it after three or two sucks, and there was not even any noodle soup left, Li Qiufan burped and said: "I haven't eaten such a fragrant meal for a long time, it tastes very similar to my mother's cooking." ”
The village chief's daughter-in-law smiled shyly, she made this meal, and she was also very happy to receive the mage's appreciation.
After eating and drinking, the village chief hesitated and said, "Master, when will we open the altar?" ”
"Don't worry," Li Qiufan waved his hand and said, "Let those dead people be buried first." "As a Heavenly Master, Li Qiufan still has this kind of funeral ritual at his fingertips, but he hasn't done it for a long time.
"Thank you, thank you..." When the village chief heard this, he couldn't say how grateful he was, and thanked him repeatedly.
"It stands to reason that this kind of young people who died in vain need to stop their spirits for three days, but they have been dead for several days, and their souls have also been sent to the Yin Si by me, so this procedure will be waived, at three o'clock in the afternoon, go directly to the funeral, you go first to see how the things you need are prepared, Brother Qi will accompany us to the so-called 'mountain god' temple for a trip. ”
"Go now? Why don't I get done with the big guys! In case you run into the 'Mountain God'..."The village chief was a little worried, after all, the monster had caused them too much fear.
Li Qiufan smiled confidently and said: "If it dares to show up, it will be better for us not to look for it again, you can go with your business, don't worry about us." ”
After wiping his mouth, he called Quanfu and set off, the village chief was not at ease, but he still called a few young men, took a hoe and shovel, and went with him.
Walking on the narrow path, there was an eerie silence in the surrounding dense forest, and several young people were nervous, and the slightest noise was like a frightened bird.
Li Qiufan is helpless, these people are too bold, what are they here for?
After walking for about half an hour, he finally came to a small temple with blue bricks and black tiles, the young people who accompanied him were frightened, their faces were pale, they were sweating profusely, and they didn't dare to take another step forward.
"As expected, it's demonic!"
"It's similar to your speculation, can you tell what kind of demon it is?" Stunned asked.
"It's a bit eyebrow-raising, but it's hard to say now, you have to see it to be sure, sink in and see, the temple, there must be statues of gods and the like."
Li Qiufan asked Twelve to stay to prevent the demon from suddenly appearing to hurt the villagers, and he walked into the temple with the sting and the fat man.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see the corpses of beasts everywhere, they have been dead for a long time, they have begun to decay, and the pungent stench is about to suffocate, and in the center of the temple is a stone statue of a god, with a beast body and a human head, but for some reason, the face of the stone statue is very badly damaged, and it can no longer be seen, and the traces seem to have been scratched out by some kind of beast.
I took another turn in the small temple, and I didn't get anything else except the beast corpses that could be seen everywhere, three
The man withdrew.
The fat man took a big breath of fresh air, and was almost smoked to death in it, scolding: "What kind of bullshit monster is this, it's too unhygienic, and it can live like this?" ”
Li Qiufan scolded with a smile: "It's not a human, on the contrary, the monsters who suck flesh and blood to cultivate prefer this kind of environment, which can speed up the cultivation speed, let's go back first, bad luck, this guy is not here, wait for the evening." ”
"What if it doesn't come back in the evening?"
"Damn, doesn't it still have to eat the blood offered by the villagers, it will definitely come out, and we'll give it a hard time when the time comes..."
Li Qiufan smiled very sinisterly, and the fat man knew from this smile that this poor monster must be miserable tonight.
After coming down the mountain, the coffin had been transported back, and the tomb had been dug up, Li Qiufan looked at the time, it was almost time, and he began to prepare for the funeral.
Because the funeral customs in various places are different, Li Qiufan asked the village chief in advance, and he came according to their habits here.
Relatives and friends mourn filial piety, cry all over the village, and when the paper-paste chariots and horses are burned, the souls of the wronged can take advantage of them.
Under the auspices of Li Qiufan, everything was carried out in an orderly manner, and the seven-inch coffin was nailed to the ground, and the living no longer saw the faces of the dead.
The desolate suona sound, the sound is in the ears, as if it is retaining the soul of the deceased.
Paper money is flying, the conjuring flags are raised in the wind, Li Qiufan is walking in the front reciting the funeral incantation, followed by a row of coffins and a procession of sending spirits, white mourning clothes meandering for dozens of meters...
Falling into the coffin, entering the grave, filling in the soil...
From this moment on, life and death are separated.
After the funeral, the family of the deceased brought the money, but Li Qiufan did not accept it, because he really didn't know how to reach out and pick up the crumpled money of an old man who was over the age of old.
The sun was setting in the west, and it was evening in a flash, and after a hospitality banquet, Li Qiufan returned to the village chief's house and began to prepare various magic weapons and other things for demon extermination.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the village chief came in and said that the blood had been prepared, Li Qiufan lifted the lid of the bucket and sniffed it: "Okay, it has been coagulated, add a layer of cow and sheep blood to these bloods, and then move to the place where they are worshiped on weekdays." ”
The village chief nodded, asked a few young people to carry the blood to the entrance of the village, and stood in place with a panicked expression, he was completely desperate this time, if Li Qiufan couldn't hold that monster, I am afraid that the whole village would have to be killed by the monster!
The fat man saw the village chief's crampedness, and comforted: "Don't worry, old village chief, with my brother Fan here, I'll catch the Rausch monster back tonight and stew the soup and drink it!" ”
When the village chief heard this, he shook his head again and again, and said tremblingly: "Don't drink, don't drink, as long as you can drive it away, don't come back..."
"Don't scare him!" Li Qiufan glared at the fat man, lifted the bag, gave each person a hidden qi charm, and then arrived at the entrance of the village, hiding in the grass There is a stone mill, at this time only the grinding disc is left, and there are four large barrels on it, which exudes a strong smell of blood, which is exactly the two hundred catties of blood prepared by the villagers.
If you look closely, you can also find that there is a thick layer of wheat straw around the mill disc than usual, and there are many bamboo poles inserted in the straw, only a little bit is exposed, and you can't find it if you don't pay attention to it.
Of course, these are traps set by Li Qiufan in advance, each bamboo pole is tied with cinnabar line, and there is also a 'trapped demon talisman', as long as you grab the two ends of the cinnabar line and pull it hard, the bamboo pole will be retracted, trapping the demon who eats blood and food.
The villagers also had weapons and hid in the distance, and now they had everything, just waiting for the monster to take the bait.
Time passed minute by minute, and it was almost ten o'clock, and there was still no movement
According to the village chief, it should soon come to eat the blood food.
"Could it be that our plan has been discovered?" The fat man asked quietly.
Li Qiufan put his index finger on his lips and motioned for him not to speak and wait quietly.
At that moment, there was a noise in the woods, as if some beast was jumping, and the breeze blew and the demonic aura was permeated.
"It's coming!" Li Qiufan made a gesture, nodded with the twelve, and clenched the cinnabar line.
In the cold moonlight, a tall monster leaped out of the woods, smelling fishy and splashing dirt as it landed.
The monster sniffed and smelled the fresh smell of blood, and the blood-red tongue more than twenty centimeters long licked it on the side of its mouth, and the saliva dripped down, and then jumped and jumped to the mill
on the plate.
By the moonlight, Li Qiufan saw the appearance of this guy clearly, it was actually a huge mountain monkey, but it was different from ordinary monkeys, with brown hair standing upright, like steel needles, full of fangs, and vicious.
Monkey Demon... Li Qiufan's face was strange, and he subconsciously remembered the Monkey King in Journey to the West, but he was a stone monkey and later became a Buddha, so he couldn't compare.
The monkey demon lifted the lid of the barrel, sniffed the smell of blood fiercely, showed greed in his eyes, and actually carried the big bucket and poured all the blood in it directly into his mouth, four buckets of blood, and gave it no drink in three minutes.
After eating the blood food, the monkey demon burped contentedly, and then a red mist came out of the body like steam, which was the energy in its refining blood for its own cultivation.
I have to say that this monkey demon is bold enough, and he actually cultivates on the spot in a grand manner, which is really fearless!
The corners of Li Qiufan's mouth lifted slightly, let's refine it well, this is specially for you.
"Hmm..."As soon as he took a breath of refining, the monkey demon suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and his body was hot as drinking red-hot molten iron.
"Ah!!h A roar of pain came out, and the monkey demon desperately tore at his hair, then grabbed the bucket and sniffed it vigorously, then his face distorted, and he jumped like thunder, tearing the iron bucket apart, beating his chest and roaring.
"Dare to drink chicken blood to the god of this mountain! I'm going to kill you! ”
As the saying goes, "kill chickens and make an example of monkeys", this is not to scare monkeys, but the blood of chickens contains the most yang and rigid aura, monkeys can not see this kind of thing, especially the monkeys who have become fine, even more secretive, very jealous.
"It's now!" Li Qiufan drank in vain, and when Twelve got instructions, the two of them pulled up the cinnabar thread at the same time, the wheat stalks flew away, and the bamboo poles tightened like a cage, surrounding the monkey demon who could not react.
"You can't find death!" The monkey demon was even more angry, the demon was boiling, and struggled, in its opinion, this kind of broken bamboo pole couldn't even tie a dog, let alone it!
However, the result was shocking, the fragile bamboo pole seemed to have a strange strength, no matter how it was, it kept earning!
"Tut-tut, the ability is not big, but the tone is not small! I'm just standing here, kind of you break away and see! Li Qiufan recited the incantation, and the spirit rune on the bamboo pole burst out with red light, forming a circle of golden hoops, and the monkey demon's skin and flesh were broken and screamed.
"Mage! Okay, you Xiangshan Village, when the mountain god goes out, he will definitely slaughter you as a chicken and dog! ”
The trapped monkey demon was still making a big noise, Li Qiufan's eyes flashed with a cold light, the spell was recited more quickly, the golden hoop was tightened more and more, and even the monkey demon bones could be heard.
"The monkey demon who has only survived two thunder tribulations dares to call himself a god! Chickens and dogs don't stay, do they? This Heavenly Master will kill you right now! ”
"God... Heavenly Master! The monkey demon was dumbfounded, he dared to be hard-mouthed again, he didn't care about the pain, he knelt down with a thud, and kowtowed his head in embarrassment.
"Master Celestial Master spare your life, spare your life, little demon... The little demon is just confused for a while, but it has never hurt people's lives, so please spare my life at this point! It's not easy for the little demon to practice, please! ”
The monkey demon kowtowed desperately, and even the grinding disc smashed stone chips splashed.
