Chapter 7 One Temple and Two Demons
Outside the ruined temple where the statue of the severed head was enshrined, the night seemed to become relaxed, and the black clouds that were so thick that the ink was about to drip were pressed even lower.
The thunder flickered, the wind howled, the rain poured down, and the water that flowed down from the eaves washed the mud surface below into a finger-deep puddle, and the grass and trees in the forest were blown by the wind and rain, and the blades of grass fell in all directions.
The seven people in the ruined temple had already fallen asleep, and only the second night vigil merchants, Ma En and Ye Kui, were still awake.
At this time, Ye Kui smelled the kind of demonic aura mentioned in the weird chronicles, but it was better to sense the demonic power that flowed out of the demon's body unconsciously.
Something outside the ruined temple was approaching the outer wall, and it was getting closer and closer, and eventually, the thing outside stood just outside the ruined temple wall, and the darkness hid its form.
The sound of hee hee and whining sounded again, but this time the strange sound was not as orderly and long as before, but gave people a sense of urgency and proximity.
Ye Kui, who had already entered the Qi Cultivation Realm, could tell that it was a mysterious sound with demonic power attached.
The mysterious sound that reached the ruined temple first surrounded the nine people, turning them from deep sleep to coma, and then slowly burrowed into the body of the second foot merchant who was in charge of the night watch, Marn, from the ear, nose and mouth.
Ma En, a foot merchant who was fascinated by the sound, got up like a marionette, walked tremblingly to the back of the temple gate, removed the broken stone pillar that originally took two or three people to move, opened the temple door and walked straight out.
At this time, Ye Kui no longer pretended to be asleep, and sat up directly and looked out the door.
Ma En, who had just walked a few steps outside the temple gate, was immediately pulled aside by a strange arm with sparse burrs hooking his calf and disappearing from Ye Kui's field of vision.
Ye Kui, who realized that the time had come, stood up, holding a wooden stick in his right hand, and pinching the seal with three fingers in his left hand and reading:
The water is quiet, and the crane is here.
Then a ghostly blue spirit crane condensed by spiritual power appeared in front of Ye Kui, and the ghostly blue spirit crane that was shoulder-high flew out of the temple, and also drew a blue glow on the way, but it quickly dissipated.
This is the spell that Ye Kui cast according to the "Spirit Crane Sect Practicing Qi Realm Mental Method" given by Chen Ming of the Linghe Sect - Jiugao Yin, but this is also the spell in this "Linghe Sect Practicing Qi Realm Mental Method", and the others are all cultivation methods.
Jiugao is relatively easy to use, the premise is that you can control your own spiritual power to be handy, otherwise it will not be a flying crane, but a walking chicken.
The spirit crane conjured out with Jiugao is good at flying, agile and fast, precise and rapid attack, and its strength is affected by the caster, Ye Kui feels that it is very suitable for saving people quickly, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to be injured and does not last long.
An unpleasant strange hiss came out, and the blue fluorescence appeared again, dissipating after the Spirit Crane took the unconscious Ma En to Ye Kui's side.
Suddenly, a human-faced monster almost as tall as a person's belly, clad in tattered robes, crawled from outside the ruined temple to inside the ruined temple with bared teeth.
The monster had eight legs, one of which had just been wounded, and green blood flowed from it, and it seemed that the cry came from its mouth, and the monster had two sharp claws at the bottom of each of its long feet with black burrs.
The monster lying on the ground with eight legs supporting its body struggled to lift and straighten its neck, and then stared at Ye Kui with the extremely ugly and suddenly open mouth face on the neck, and the sound of giggling and whining came from the mouth of that human face from time to time.
Finding that the mist didn't work for Ye Kui, the twisted and ugly human face slowly began to crack from the middle of the bridge of the nose of the face, revealing eight gloomy green eyes neatly arranged up and down and a large mouth with sharp mouthparts, and the human face that was split in half turned into two giant claws with poisonous fangs.
The mysterious-faced giant spider roared:
"A ridiculous casual cultivator who has stopped at the door of the Qi Cultivation Realm actually dares to harm my good deeds, if I wasn't careless, how could you hurt me? Tonight will make you... Be the food in my belly! ”
"You still talk about people, demon beasts are not easy to cultivate, and you should do more good deeds to supplement the path of cultivation, but you just do this cannibalistic act, not afraid of attracting other monks to kill you? Although my cultivation is low, I can't see you committing murder in front of me. ”
"The current monk has so much time to care about us, it seems that you have indeed just stepped into the ranks of cultivation, I don't understand what it means, it just so happens that we are almost tired of tasting mortals, and we can finally taste the flesh and brain of the monk.
Cracked baboon, there is no need to hide, he will not be our opponent, and I don't even need you to make a move, I can completely take his life alone, but this will also give me a taste of the monk's brain. ”
After the human-faced spider finished speaking, a baboon as tall as a man smashed through the roof and landed in the ruined temple, and the wind and rain blew in, and the water flowing down the roof almost extinguished the fire on the side.
It makes sense that the baboon walked with the Miyin Human-faced Spider, and the wet fur made the baboon look very strong, but the baboon's face was like a scar left by someone who had ploughed back and forth on his face with a nail rake.
"Human-faced spider, you shouldn't expose my existence so quickly, if you meet a powerful monk, today will be the last day you and I will eat meat and marrow."
"Split phase baboon, don't worry, I can sense it when I encounter it, this is just a loose cultivation that cultivates alone, and the realm should still be stuck at the door of the Qi Cultivation Realm.
No wonder I can't tell his realm, I can only feel the spiritual power when he casts the spell, you say that the two of us who practice qi quadruple and qi cultivation double demons will not be able to defeat him? ”
After listening to what the human-faced spider said, the baboon breathed a sigh of relief, I don't know why, tonight as soon as he approached this ruined temple that he was used to, he trembled from time to time, and his heart beat a little fast, just when the human-faced spider called himself, the baboon's heart was about to jump out.
Seeing that another demon came, and it was also a demon who could speak human language, Ye Kui was also blindsided for a while, it seems that he should learn some induction methods, so as not to be killed by sneak attacks in the future.
Sure that Ma En was not in danger of his life, Ye Kui asked the two monsters:
"Let me ask, if I just let you go, will you be able to spare these mortals?"
"When I think of people who have eaten, there are always people who are saying that you can't have both fish and bear's paws, but you should know that this sentence is used to admonish those who still have the heart to repent, but we are both demons.
If you didn't choose to rescue these mortals and enter this ruined temple after feeling the residual demonic aura in the dense forest outside the ruined temple, but turned around and left outside the ruined temple, you might still be able to survive. ”
"Split phase baboon, why are you talking nonsense with this loose cultivator like a person, you really don't want to eat the brain marrow of this loose cultivator, just let me come, every time you eat, you eat its brain marrow, I swallow its flesh and blood, if it weren't for those brain marrow to look disgusting, I would have wanted to try the taste."
The human-faced spider on the side saw that the split-phase baboon and Ye Kui were communicating endlessly, and couldn't help but interrupt the conversation, and after being reminded by the human-faced spider, the split-phase baboon began to quiet down, and its eyes began to look at Ye Kui's head.
The sight of being treated as food did not make Ye Kui feel afraid, but continued to ask:
"Are there other demons hiding outside the ruined temple now? Let them all come out, since I can't save the mortals in the broken temple, then I choose to fight happily, you all go together, and live up to my practice. ”
"Still practicing? Have a good time? Ha, with your cultivation, I can kill you with my eyes closed. ”
But as soon as the human-faced giant spider finished speaking, he saw Ye Kui wave a short brown wooden stick covered with white cracks in his hand at the human-faced giant spider.
A white sword aura flew directly towards the human-faced spider.
Frightened, the split-phase baboon and the human-faced spider shouted in unison in different tones:
"Sword cultivation?"
"Sword Cultivation!"
