Chapter 10: Shameless Compassion
The only one left was a stunned and frightened rhinoceros spirit who froze there alone, thinking about the unknown fear and the bumps in his own road, he couldn't help but lower his head, fell to the ground and just wanted to sleep. He was so tired, exhausted from his fugitive life these days, and the scars all over his body were like the demons of the Nine Shadows, tearing at this body that was almost unable to walk anymore. And the danger he had just been told was more like a bloody mouth full of fangs and sharp teeth, waiting for his remaining soul at any time to drag this body into it for others to enjoy, thinking about his cultivation that he had endured all the hardships and hardships he had endured alone for hundreds of years, but now he didn't know what it was for? Was it just to build a cave for others to practice and live in yesterday? Was it just for today's desperate escape? Or was it for tomorrow to bring this body into the trap of death
The rhinoceros spirit is about to collapse, if the boar demon didn't tell him that there is such a big demon on this side, he may be able to run forward with the only remaining bit of luck, but now that he knows the news, the last bit of hope in his heart is completely shattered, and this body, as if the soul has been drained, the hardships of many days of exhaustion instantly come to his heart, and the endless fatigue makes this pair of blood-stained legs, can no longer lift a trace of strength to walk, this is more mourning than heart death!
The rhinoceros spirit suddenly wanted to laugh, thinking that he had spent hundreds of flowers blooming and falling in that cave, and he had boiled white for many springs and autumns before he could cultivate this body, but it was not as good as an ordinary creature in this mountain forest, bathing in the sun every day, tasting all the ups and downs, and coming freely. Like the meadow lying beneath me, I never seemed to have thought it would be so fragrant. The towering tree on his head, he has never seen it carefully, it turned out to be so straight and tall, washed away with lead. There are also the birds that carry insects in their mouths, flutter their wings, and nest and raise their broods, the hares that live in and out of the blades of grass, and seek their roots and feed, and the monkeys that kick on the branches and hide leaves, eat wild fruits, and carry spears on the treetops
The rhinoceros spirit opened his eyes wide, he was patronizing and lamenting the sorrow of fate just now, but he didn't know when a monkey was squatting on the big tree above his head! At this time, the monkey was holding a wild fruit in his left hand and gnawing carelessly, and on his right shoulder was carrying a spear twice his length, the handle of the gun was held in his right hand, and he was looking at himself intently.
"Huh. The rhinoceros spirit smiled bitterly, and thought in his heart: "This monkey is carrying a spear on his shoulder, and at first glance it is not an ordinary creature in this mountain, and he doesn't have to think about it to know that it must be the little demon under the demon king of the cave who came to patrol the mountain, and all the little demons of the wild boar demon have gone back with him, and besides, on this boundary, there is such a person on the tree, alas, don't think about it, this is probably the white leopard demon king Cang's subordinate in the mouth of the wild boar demon." Thinking of this, the rhinoceros spirit calmed down inexplicably, maybe he really couldn't escape today, but he saw all this very lightly in his heart, now he has no strength in his body, anyway, he can't run anymore, it is better to face it calmly, and let the other party, the big demon king, look up to himself.
"The monkey. The rhinoceros spirit looked at the monkey in the tree, and said in a calm tone: "Has anyone gone to report to your king? If anyone goes, I will just wait here, but can you divide your fruit with a few of my old cows? I am also tired of running these days, and I haven't enjoyed a bite to eat." ”
The monkey on the tree was the nameless man who came to patrol the mountain today, he looked at the rhinoceros spirit lying on the ground and said, "Don't worry, it is estimated that my king is also about to arrive at this time, you want to eat this wild fruit, I will give it to you." As he spoke, he threw down a few wild fruits.
The rhinoceros spirit picked one up and put it in his mouth and chewed it gently, a sweet taste flowed down his throat, he slowly closed his eyes, at this time, he didn't think about what you don't care about, anyway, life is only for a short time, let's enjoy it, it can be regarded as making up for the blank of his many years, after eating one, he picked up another and put it in his mouth, and said while eating: "You monkey is really a ghost, obviously there is no cultivation, but I don't know when I get here." After saying that, he slowly enjoyed the wild fruit.
Nameless hooked the trunk on the side with his tail on the tree, and also took a bite of the wild fruit and said: "I have been here a long time ago, you and the wild boar demon king have fought like this, and the mountain is shaking, I am patrolling the mountain nearby, but it is difficult to know it!"
"Well, too, hehe. The rhinoceros spirit suddenly felt that the monkey in front of him was very interesting.
Nameless looked at him, and said with some puzzlement: "Although I can't see you cultivating like this, but looking at your fight with the wild boar demon king, it should also be the strength of a big demon?
"Well, it's a long story. The rhinoceros spirit sighed, and then he practiced for hundreds of years, and after going out of the customs and meeting the demon king of the mixed world to rob the cave, he told Nameless about all the life, he felt that he was going to die anyway, and he was not afraid of any secrets, who knew that Nameless jumped directly from the tree after hearing this, ran to the rhinoceros spirit and said: "You were also mutilated by the demon king of the mixed world so far?"
"Oh, have you ever been mutilated by him?" asked the rhinoceros spirit curiously.
"I" Nameless was just about to say, and suddenly remembered what Cang Beard had said to him: "Whenever anyone asks, you must not say that you are a monkey from the Water Curtain Cave, only that you are the one who grew on my mountain, because the Water Curtain Cave has made the demon king of the mixed world humiliated, he holds a grudge and orders the green wolf under his command to catch monkeys every month, if people know that I take you in, it is inevitable to have a battle, although I am confident that I can fight with him, but I am afraid that it is not easy to defeat him, even if I really win, it will also hurt my vitality, but at that time it will inevitably let others take advantage of the weakness." Thinking of this, Nameless could only bite the bullet and say: "Many demon kings in this Huaguo Mountain have endured his anger, and I have also heard of it." ”
"Alas, it just seems that he is very close to the other demon kings, otherwise they would not be so difficult for me everywhere. The rhinoceros spirit said that he wanted to get up from the ground, but as soon as he raised his head, the wounds on his body were torn and painful, especially the place where he was cut by the wild boar demon's axe, and the blood that was driven flowed out. Seeing him so uncomfortable, Nameless couldn't help frowning, the same experience of being mutilated by the Demon King of the Mixed World made him subconsciously get closer to this rhinoceros spirit.
After trying several times and tasting great pain, he finally gave up, lay quietly on the ground, turned his head to Nameless and said, " Little monkey, I'm afraid I can't run anymore after running around for days, I know that you are staying to watch me and wait for your king, but if you can trust me and help me get a bowl of water, I am too thirsty, you can rest assured, even if I can stand up and run now, I am afraid that I will not be able to run out of your mountain, and I heard that your king is profound, I asked myself that he has not been able to run, but I am about to die, but I don't want to be so uncomfortable, you also accumulate yin virtue, I will repay you in the next life, how about it?"
Nameless stood up, his eyes full of pity for the rhinoceros spirit.
"Okay! You wait here! My king is not a person who hurts the heavens and reason, and he has no friendship with the demon king of the mixed world, so maybe he won't hurt you. With that, Nameless dragged his spear up the treetops, and in a blink of an eye ran towards the stream not far away.
The rhinoceros spirit looked at the back of the monkey in the distance, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but withdraw a wry smile, thinking about the nameless words, he just silently said to himself in his heart: "I hope so" After speaking, the rhinoceros spirit closed his eyes, lying on the ground peacefully, enjoying the rare tranquility of his life, people can meet such a person who trusts themselves when they are about to die, it is also a kind of comfort, after all, who would be so trustworthy today? I have been being chased and killed these days, running through one mountain and being stopped by another, escaping one hole and being intercepted by another, just like now, just running over the mountain that escaped from the death of the wild boar demon, and now, at most ten miles south of me, the mixed footsteps have galloped in, and there are still a lot of noisy and noisy shouts.
"Alas, I won't run anymore today, this physique really can't run, let it be fate, and after today, I will never have to run around like this to survive. The rhinoceros thought to himself, blocking out the sound of approaching footsteps. "With this frightened time, it is better to enjoy the last life of this life, but hehe, the monkey does not know if he can come back in my lifetime"
As soon as the rhinoceros spirit thought of this, it suddenly lost its center of gravity and only listened to the "whew" With a sound, this huge body was lifted directly from the ground by a huge force, and an invisible hand pinched his neck like a giant pincer hit by steel cast iron, and carried a huge rhinoceros with a height of three feet in the air, and the rhinoceros was violently picked up, and the wounds in various parts of his body were a burst of piercing pain, but he just gritted his teeth and the expression on his face returned to calm, and the huge body had no intention of resistingOr maybe in front of this absolute strength that can easily lift himself up and hang in the air, the rhinoceros spirit also knows his current physical condition, and he has no power to fight back.
He opened his eyes and calmly looked at the big demon in front of him, who was wrapped in clouds and mist, with the same expressionless but cold and terrifying face, and thought to himself, "Is this the legendary white leopard with a long beard? Thinking of this, he looked up and down a few times, remembering his days of running around and running away from life, and even began to look forward to the moment when the other party gave him a dead life. It's just that as a big demon, the rhinoceros spirit wants to know how the other party broke himself, whether he twisted his neck with a twist of his hand, or picked up a weapon like other demon kings to prick himself in the heart? The rhinoceros spirit looked at it for a while, slowly squinted his eyes, looked in the direction of the nameless disappearance, and thought: "Little brother, I'm afraid that I will only drink this saliva when I repay you in the next life."
And on the opposite side of him, the bearded face was expressionless, tepidly looking at the rhinoceros spirit that was lifted by himself, originally he heard the little demon report, came here to inquire, but when he rushed to about ten miles away from here, his heart suddenly sank, the little demons reported that it was very clear, a huge rhinoceros spirit and the wild boar demon of the neighboring mountain fighting, the sound of the fight attracted the patrol team, originally this group of little demons just wanted to see the excitement, anyway, it was none of their business, but this rhinoceros spirit was dying and struggling to deceive the wild boar demon, ran to their own mountain, they had no idea at a glance, with the strength of the rhinoceros essence, it is definitely not something that a few of them can compete with, so a few of them went back to the cave to report, and Nameless was responsible for staying and monitoring. However, when the bearded man approached here, he only found the breath of the rhinoceros spirit, and the familiar breath of Nameless he couldn't feel it at all, if Nameless was not here, then the most reasonable explanation was that he was killed by this big demon, and the bearded man was anxious at the time, this Nameless had not learned the Tao with him for a few days, and he was entrusted by his old ape brother who had an intersecting origin, if he really died like this, how should he explain it to others? Besides, no matter why he fought with the boar demon, just the fact that he could be beaten by the boar demon and struggled to the death, he didn't pay attention to the gray hair, you must know that even the wild boar demon was kind and smiling when he saw the blue hair, and he was directly three points shorter. So the cangbeard couldn't help but say when he came here, and picked up the rhinoceros essence lying on the ground enjoying the sunshine, but he looked at it, and there was no trace of the rhinoceros essence hurting or devouring the nameless, until the rhinoceros essence looked in the other direction inexplicably, the cangfu finally couldn't help it, but he still said in a calm tone:
"Where is my monkey?"
The rhinoceros spirit turned his head and looked at the blue hair, thinking that it was right, the demon king found that the little demon in his cave was missing here, and he really had to ask first. He opened his mouth, struggling to squeeze a few words out of his throat, but his neck was tightly grasped by the gray hair, and he couldn't speak, so he reached out and pointed to the hand that was pinching his neck.
The bearded man could also see that the other party was seriously injured, and he couldn't run, so he immediately let go of his hand and put the rhinoceros essence directly from mid-air, and then fell to the ground with a "boom".
The rhinoceros got up from the ground in pain, grinned and rubbed his swollen neck with his hand, and said in a calm tone with a pant breath: "This king, if I say that your monkey has gone to fetch water, do you believe it?"
As soon as the rhinoceros spirit finished speaking, he heard a "whew", the clouds and mist wrapped around the blue hair instantly doubled, and the terrible wind and sand also shuttled violently between the clouds and mist, originally the gray hair in addition to the head, the whole body was wrapped in the clouds, but at this time it was pushed to the limelight, a pair of cold eyes have been filled with blood red light at the moment, the silver-white shining armor is lifelike and dazzling in the sun, and the two hands are the white leopard with its own claws to refine the magic weapon, called "Thousand Spirits Transformation Finger" , Judging from the appearance, it is a few finger claws that are five feet long Bai Sensen's cold wind is better than the blade, but this claw is on the hand, and each finger and claw has a slight breeze rolling around the surrounding clouds and mist, and the cold light emitted by the bursts is more and more cold and infiltrating, and this short weapon is combined with the already dexterous and swift skills of the bearded leopard, it can really be said that killing is only in an instant. The rhinoceros spirit understood very well at this moment, the big demon in front of him was angry! When did he think that his gray hair had been treated with such contempt? A sense of shame and anger that was played with by others drove the blood of his whole body to rush to the top of his head, making the mane on the back of the blue hair from the top of his head to the tip of his tail all stand up, the steel teeth in his mouth "rattle", and the huge leopard teeth that stood upside down outside his mouth also grinded the corners of his mouth trembling with resentment.
"I'll take you mountain spirit and river monster who don't know how to die! If it's really boring, I'll reincarnate you!" After speaking, the bearded man raised his right hand with a "huh", and several handfuls of Senhan's fingers and claws in his hand stood up, the tips of the cold claws were mixed with strong wind, and the frosted air was "hissing". Seeing this, the rhinoceros spirit shone with a rare smoothness in his eyes, "Maybe this is the end of life" The rhinoceros spirit thought, it seems that all the grief and anger have left him, and all that remains is this moment of peaceful waiting, waiting for the wild boar demon to report to the Hades family, waiting for the reincarnation in the mouth of the beard, or waiting for all the sorrow and all the suffering to end here
If you really come to the point where your life is over, but it is inevitable, let go and face it calmly, and regard this momentary pain as the end of all sorrow and suffering. Then at this moment, for a person, there is no longer any feeling of fear, and it may be more suitable for the rhinoceros essence that Cang Beard sees in front of his eyes.
"Slow down, keep your men behind!" Just when the gray-haired Thousand Spirits Illusion Finger was about to break open the head of the rhinoceros spirit, a familiar small voice ran from the tree not far away, with a hiss roar jumping and running from the tree not far away, carrying a spear twice his length in his right hand, and holding a huge leaf in his left hand that he did not know plucked from the tree, as the monkey ran left and right on the tree, the leaves would splash a little clear and transparent water from time to time.
Nameless ran to the bottom of the gray wind and mist, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said eagerly: "The king, let him live! ”
"Shut up!" After hearing this, Cang Beard withdrew his transfiguration finger and yelled at Nameless with an annoyed expression: "I don't care if he is not mutilated? Even if he is killed and injured by the Demon King of the Mixed World, his own skills are not as good as others." It's you!" The bearded angry eyes widened, and he stared at Nameless fiercely as if he hated iron but not steel.
