After Niu came back, as she said, she lived with Long Qi in a down-to-earth manner, but Long Qi found that Niu was not the same as before. In the past, although the Niu family had a bad temper, he was very aggressive, talking and laughing, but now the Niu family is always frowning, as if he is hiding something.

At the same time, some strange things always happen in Dongze Village, either the cattle and sheep raised by the family are lost, or the half-grown son who was originally alive and well loses his spirit overnight.

Slowly, there were rumors in the village that those cattle and sheep were eaten by monsters, and those half-sized children were also hooked by monsters. The men did not dare to go fishing in the river anymore, and the women all led their children to hide in the house, and only when it was time to cook could they confirm that there were still living people in the village through the sporadic little smoke of cooking.

Just when the monster made the entire Dongze Village panic, Niu's suddenly vomited and couldn't stop vomiting, and invited the doctor to see that she was pregnant. Long Qi was overjoyed, but he was worried that after his child was born, he could only hide at home all day like those children in the village. In order to find out the truth about the disappearance of cattle and sheep in the village and the illness of half of the eldest son, Long Qi took the initiative to find the village chief and asked to organize the men in the village to hunt demons.

The armor on his body was given by the village chief, and it was handed down from their ancestors, and it was somewhat of a treasure. The hard work paid off, and on the seventh day of Long Qi's tour of the village, they caught the monster, a toad with five legs.

"Was it the toad spirit who dragged Long Qi into the water?" The cat demon nibbles on a fish that has just been caught from the river.

"That toad spirit is fake, it was changed to send those villagers." Nan Jinyi said: "The real monster is the red carp essence hidden next to Long Qi, that is, his wife Niu. ”

On that day, Niu left home after a quarrel with Long Qi, and when he passed by the riverbank, he was seen by a carp spirit floating on the water. She knew that it was Long Qi's wife, so she opened her mouth and swallowed her, and then turned into her appearance and came to Long Qi's house to wait for Long Qi to come back. The carp essence was originally to take revenge on Long Qi before he transformed into his lady, but he never thought that he would fall in love with him in the daily relationship.

"Monsters fall in love with people, the story in the book." Liu Hanshan said: "Is the lost cattle and sheep in the village and those sick young people related to her?" ”

"Of course it does!" The cat demon raised the fish bone in his hand: "You are not a demon, you don't understand the difficulties of our demons." ”

"The demon's difficulty?"

"Yes, let me tell you, the stories in the book are all reversed. The more powerful the demon, the more difficult it is to maintain a human form, and the more difficult it is to hide the demonic energy. In order not to be discovered, she needs to devour a large number of living animals, and raising cows is the best choice, but not pigs. As for the young people who were sick, they were not really sick, but they were sucked out of their energy by her. At the light level, it will be raised for ten days and half a month, and at the worst, it will be raised for seven or eight years. ”

"You're a demon too!" Liu Hanshan pointed to the cat demon.

"yes, I'm a demon too." The cat demon meowed at Liu Hanshan: "I have poor qualifications, and I have cultivated for so many years, so I have cultivated a little bit of mana." I don't need to suck a lot of living creatures to maintain my mana, I just need to eat fish. ”

The cat demon said, spitting out the fish bones in his mouth.

Pregnant in October, once delivered, the carp spirit gave birth to a white and chubby son for Long Qi. She is weak after giving birth, and she needs to use a large number of living animals to make up for it, and the village has taken a close look at the cattle and sheep at home because of the previous monsters.

It's natural for monsters to eat people, just as people eat monsters.

Although the carp spirit was very careful, the fact that she was a demon was still discovered. The villagers used her and Ryuqi's child as a blackmail to ask her to go into the cage, and then put her child in a boiling soup pot in front of her. When the child's tail was revealed, the villagers cheered, believing that their every move was wise.

But they forget that no mother can tolerate her child being treated like this.

The angry carp spirit broke the iron cage and swept the villagers into the air with her tail, turning the otherwise calm river into a boil, and she wanted the villagers to pay for the lives of her innocent children. At the last moment, Long Qi came out, wearing the armor given to him by the village chief, holding the iron knife given to him by the village chief, and standing opposite the carp spirit.

No one knew what they said, only that the carp spirit had reverted to her original form. She looked at Long Qi with tears in her eyes and a smile on the corner of her mouth, and then handed the demon pill she had cultivated for thousands of years to Long Qi.

She said, "Eat it, and I'll let them go." ”

Long Qi thought it was poison and swallowed the demon pill without hesitation. The carp's mana was exhausted, and it turned into an ordinary small fish and fell to the ground. Long Qi kept his promise and walked into the river with the small fish in his hand, and never came up again.

Xu was out of guilt, Xu was moved, and Xu was afraid of the powerful mana of the carp spirit, and the villagers spontaneously built a dragon king temple by the river. The temple was not dedicated to the dragon king, but to the dragon seven in armor.

"Listening to what the girl said, this Long Qi doesn't look like a bad person?" The cat demon reverted back to the form of a cat, lying on a stone by the river and napping. "What father in the world can forgive the murderer, let the murderer go, and even save those murderers after witnessing his children being killed."

"He's not saving the villagers, he's saving his wife." Liu Hanshan looked at Nan Jinyi: "From what I saw, he already knew that his wife was not the real Niu, and the reason why he didn't break it down was that he didn't know how to face it." Of course, there are some villagers who stopped his wife in public, but his real purpose is that he doesn't want to see his wife make mistakes again and again. He didn't forgive those villagers, he just didn't pursue it, he was ready to die with his wife and children. ”

"Why haven't I met such a good husband?" The cat demon squinted at Liu Hanshan: "Do you want to find a cat demon to be a lady?" I'm very good at raising it, just eat fish. ”

Liu Hanshan had a bad chill and hurriedly stayed away from the cat demon.

Nan Jinyi looked at the river and said, "Anyone who drowns in the river will turn into a water ghost after death." They hover underwater all day long, waiting for the next person to drown. Long Qi didn't want the water ghosts to make trouble, so he could only eat them. As for the corpses, he would also send them back to the river bank through the undercurrent under the water. The villagers didn't know why, so they made indiscriminate sacrifices on the riverbank. One year, two years, one hundred years, two hundred years, as time passes, everyone forgets who Long Qi is and what the original intention of building this Dragon King Temple is.

"I see!" The cat demon raised his paws: "The descendants of those villagers don't know the story of Long Qi and the carp spirit, and they think that this temple is dedicated to the dragon king who can rain, and every time there is a drought, they will run to this dragon king temple to ask for rain." Long Qi is kind by nature, and he has the mana of carp spirit, and occasionally helps these villagers. ”

"What's the matter with those brides?" Liu Hanshan turned to the river: "Don't want that Long Qi to really want to marry a wife." ”
