Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Fox Demon Makes Trouble
Hearing the loud shouts behind him, Zhang Tao didn't have time to explain to the other party, just glanced at the young monk, and then rushed out of the mountain temple without looking back, and chased out according to the demonic qi remaining in the air.
Seeing the monk's appearance, he knew in his heart that the other party should have misunderstood something and regarded him as a monster who committed murder.
However, he didn't want to pay attention to this matter, and in his heart at this time, he just wanted to kill the fox demon that devoured people's hearts on the spot, so as to comfort the mother and son who died tragically.
"Demon, leave off!"
Seeing this, the little monk was unforgiving, bathed in the dazzling Buddha light, rushed into the main hall with an arrow, and easily twisted the King Kong Demon Pestle on the ground, and chased after him, and his movements were not slow at all.
After chasing out of the mountain temple, Zhang Tao came to a mountain col overgrown with wild grass, and when he looked up, it became all dry thorn vines, and there was no place to put his feet at all.
Seeing that the faint demonic aura that lingered in the air was about to dissipate, he didn't say a word, and prepared to cast the [Phantom Ghost Body] again to turn into a cloud of black mist and cross the thorny land here.
After some delay by the little monk, he almost let him follow the trace of the fox demon.
However, it backfired!
The little monk's ghost lingered, entangled him like a maggot on the tarsal bones.
As soon as he unleashed the black mist, the extremely powerful demon-slaying pestle would follow closely behind, and the blazing Buddha light continued to erode the black mist, annoying him.
"Little bald donkey, what the hell do you want to do?"
Zhang Tao couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and glared at the other party, his heart was burning with anger, and he shouted in an unkind tone: "You don't catch the real monster, but you are pestering me here?" ”
"Demon, Hugh has to confuse the crowd, how can the little monk be confused by your words?"
The little monk was upright, with a serious look on his face, holding a vajra demon pestle, locking Zhang Tao with all his qi, not allowing the other party to have any chance to escape from here, and there was quite a kind of undying posture.
"The poor monk saw you killing women and children with his own eyes, how can you be credible?"
His eyes were angry, and the strong Buddha Yuan power in his body was constantly steaming, as if he was ready to take action to subdue demons and eliminate demons.
"Humph! A bald donkey with no beads! ”
Seeing this, Zhang Tao let out a low snort, and then he noticed that the demonic energy in the thorn bush had dissipated, and there was no trace of the fox demon, and he could no longer pursue it.
In the end, he still let the cruel and cunning fox demon escape!
"I advise you not to be ignorant!"
Because he was escaped by the fox demon, he was holding back his anger in his heart at this time, unable to vent, after seeing the little monk's actions, he couldn't help but warn, and said: "Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you." ”
After saying that, he ignored the other party and turned around and walked back to the mountain temple again.
"Want to escape?"
Although he didn't want to do it, the little monk didn't appreciate his affection, but he took the lead, and the demon pestle probed forward, and the sky suddenly sounded.
Immediately, his figure appeared in front of Zhang Tao, blocking the way to enter the mountain temple.
"Do you really want to die?"
Zhang Tao's eyes narrowed, a wisp of fierce killing intent flashed in his heart, his face sank, and he said coldly: "Get out of the way!" ”
"I'm in a very bad mood right now, I advise you not to provoke me!"
Feeling the fierce power of the Demon Suppressing Pestle, his body flashed slightly, avoiding the blow of Zhigang Zhiyang.
He could sense that the other party's cultivation should be only a little stronger than himself in the early stage of the Triple Heaven, so he didn't have to worry about it.
If you want to defeat the other party, it will be easy for him.
Now, he is only missing an opportunity to break through to the Triple Heaven!
"Hugh is rampant!"
The little monk ignored the warning in his ear, and still went his own way to subdue demons and eliminate demons, insisting that Zhang Tao was a treacherous and cunning demon beast.
It's too late, it's too soon.
At the moment when Zhang Tao dodged, the little monk held a pestle in one hand and clenched his fist in the other, bullying himself, and the offensive did not decrease, but also became more and more violent.
"Humph! It's hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words! ”
Zhang Tao retreated again and again, and finally broke out, not forbearing, his fists were clenched, and the attack on the little monk was a wave of counterattack.
In hand-to-hand combat, he has never been afraid of anyone!
Ever since he achieved cultivation, he has been fighting against monsters and ghosts, and his combat experience has been sharpened between life and death, and his combat consciousness is beyond ordinary people.
Bang bang!
Punch to the flesh!
Several punches slammed into the little monk's body, making a dull sound, and he completely crushed the opponent in terms of combat experience.
The little monk retreated one after another, blood gradually overflowed from the corners of his mouth, his face became pale, and the Vajra Demon Descending Pestle in his hand was clenched tighter, his finger joints turned white for a while, and his eyes gradually showed a decisive look.
"Ahem... Amitabha! ”
He coughed violently, his expression became more and more firm and religious, and there was a shock in the major acupuncture points of his body, and there were already signs of dying together.
"I didn't expect the demon to be so fierce, the little monk had no choice but to kill himself and forcibly turn this demon into a benevolent man!" The little monk looked at him firmly and muttered.
"If I don't go to hell, who will?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Tao's pupils shrank, and he suddenly felt a feeling of palpitations, and then his figure quickly retreated, distanced himself from the other party, and then looked at the little monk in front of him in surprise like a ghost.
For a moment, he could sense that the other party had the idea of dying together.
I didn't expect the other party's demon subjugation heart to be so resolute!
"What a crazy monk!"
He was shocked, looking at the little monk with a creepy feeling, he had the idea of dying together at every turn, this kind of person is very terrifying!
"I'm a demon hunter..."
Seeing that the situation was deadlocked, Zhang Tao sighed silently and explained helplessly: "I found a fox demon murder here, and I came to catch the demon!" ”
After a pause, he said in a soothing tone: "Everything between us is a misunderstanding, and please ask the little master to be aware of everything." ”
"Is that true?"
Hearing this, the little monk raised his eyebrows, and took the identity guide thrown by Zhang Tao in surprise, and after seeing the identity information of the other party, he lowered his head in shame and said ashamedly: "Amitabha, it is the little monk who blames Zhang for his benefactor!" ”
"It's in the way of your hunt for monsters!"
As he spoke, he looked stunned, folded his hands, and explained: "The little monk is from the Golden Dragon Temple, and the Dharma name is dusty!" ”
"Passing by Jindou City this time, I heard that there are monsters here that devour the hearts of babies, and I hereby track them down to the Mountain Temple, but I didn't expect to have a misunderstanding with Zhang Shizhu!" He bowed his head in pain.
"Golden Dragon Temple?"
Zhang Tao was stunned for a moment, and when he heard what the other party said, he felt a little surprised, he had heard Qingyun Lao Dao mention this temple, but he didn't expect to meet the other party just after coming down the mountain.
Jinlong Temple is famous in the rivers and lakes, ranking in the four temples and one nunnery of Buddhism, and the four sects of Taoism go hand in hand, belonging to the famous and decent families of the rivers and lakes.
"It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the master of the Golden Dragon Temple is upright and compassionate, and it is true when I see it today!"
He put aside his hostility, bowed his hand slightly in respect, and praised the other party.
"Master Zhang praised it falsely!"
The little monk bowed his head, bowed modestly, and calmly accepted the praise of the other party.
Immediately, he said in a solemn tone: "I wonder if Master Zhang can still track down that cunning fox demon now?" ”
"It's late!"
Zhang Tao shook his head, found a clean place in the mountain temple and sat down cross-legged, and slowly explained: "If you didn't stop me just now, I might still have a chance to find it." ”
"But now I can't do anything about it." He added.
After that, Zhang Tao stopped talking, and concentrated on recovering his true qi on the side, completely ignoring the little monk with a sad face in the main hall.
"Amitabha!"
Lichen folded his hands, silently lowered his head, looked at the corpses of women and children lying in a pool of blood on the side, sighed, sat down quietly cross-legged, and began to chant mantras for them to be reborn.
Half an hour later.
The sky was getting brighter, and the warm sunlight shone through the broken windows and walls, shining on Zhang Tao and Lichen's bodies, full of life, in stark contrast to the bloody corpses on the side.
Seeing this, Zhang Tao quickly stood up and walked towards the outside of the mountain temple, ignoring the little monk who closed his eyes and chanted the scriptures.
He was going to go to the nearby towns to solve the problem of food and clothing, and replenish dry food supplies, after all, this place was still some distance away from Xuanzhou Shuntian Mansion.
"Master Zhang, please stay!"
As soon as he walked to the gate, a gentle voice from the little monk came from behind him, saying, "The tired donor and the little monk went to the Jindou City Mansion to report to the officials, and the corpses here need to be disposed of by them." ”
After speaking, Lichen strode up and followed, with a sincere and sincere attitude.
"Well, I'm going to Jindou City too, so let's go with me!"
Zhang Tao was silent, did not refuse the other party, agreed to the other party's request, and then he thought about his own situation, if he ventured to the mansion, then the news of his whereabouts would definitely leak out.
After thinking for a moment, he reminded in a low voice: "I can go to Jindou City with you, but I won't go to the government with you to report to the official." ”
"I still have important things to do, and when we get to the city, we'll be separated!" He added.
"There have already been three cases of demon beasts injuring people in Jindou City, and last night was the fourth!"
Lichen lowered his eyebrows, ignored the words in his ear, and said to himself: "Could it be that Master Zhang Shi, as a demon hunter, wants to stand by and watch?" ”
"If that evil demon beast can't be subdued in time, there will be more tragic deaths here!"
In the end, he sighed, his voice was full of exhaustion and pity, and said, "But that demon beast is too cunning, and the little monk's Dharma is low, so I haven't been able to trace it!" ”
"Since that fox demon frequently harms people's lives, didn't the government here send demon hunters to search for and eliminate demons?"
Hearing this, Zhang Tao frowned, felt a little surprised, and asked, "The deceased are all women who are pregnant with Liujia?" ”
"Amitabha, the little monk doesn't know why there is no movement in the government here, and he even has to hide the news that the monster is harming people."
Lichen was also puzzled, and slowly explained the news he had gotten, and said: "Well, the deceased are all babies in pregnant women, and the women were disemboweled, and all the organs in the unborn babies disappeared. ”
Immediately, he added: "There are also two women who have been treated in time and have not died of their injuries!" ”
"But none of those poor babies were spared!"
Hearing the other party's description, Zhang Tao's brows furrowed more and more, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in it, as if the fox demon only loved the internal organs of the unborn baby, but turned a blind eye to the woman's life.
A ferocious fox demon who likes to devour babies?
Is there any ulterior secret in this?
After the Li Mansion case in Tianwu Town, Zhang Tao was a little nervous, and when he encountered any murder case involving monsters, he felt that there was an illusion of conspiracy in it.
