Chapter 13: Expedition I
"How so? Is it the Ancient Beast Qiqi? Mo Fan looked at the strange beast hanging not far from him with an incredulous expression and said in surprise.
"That's right! No one has ever seen it in its true form, and all that has seen it is dead. Wang Yu looked at the strange beast vigilantly and explained.
"But why is it in the Demon Suppression Tower? And now it looks harmless to humans and animals? Mo Fan asked suspiciously.
"I don't know, but we must stay away from it! Look at the sword! ”
As he spoke, Wang Yu immediately drew his sword and stabbed it, and Qi Qi suddenly paused behind Mo Fan in fear.
Mo Fan hurriedly stopped Wang Yu and said, "Don't! Anyway, it helped me, and if it was trying to hurt me, I wouldn't be able to stand here with everyone, okay? ”
"No! It doesn't hurt now! It doesn't mean that you won't hurt people in the future! Wang Yu was unrelenting and prepared to continue the attack.
Mo Fan said unhappily: "Then you can kill me together, because I have nine infant evil spirits in my body, and I am also a demon now." Just like you said, just because I don't hurt people now doesn't mean I won't hurt people in the future. With that, Mo Fan immediately pressed his neck towards Wang Yu.
"Forget it, Lord Wang! Didn't the palm also say it? Everything has its own certainty, this time we went out to find Fu Xiqin, there must be more than one bad luck, with it, maybe it will help us. Lin Yan stopped and said.
"Master! Oh, yes! You see it's so cute, forget it. He's right, since it's an ancient beast, it might help us when the time comes. Xiao Ni also came over to persuade him.
Wang Yu slowly put down the sword in her hand and said unhappily: "Okay! You have to keep it now and don't regret it later! After speaking, Wang Yu immediately turned around and walked out of the room.
"Alright, young master, let's pack up and get ready. I'll go pack some necessary things, and we'll meet at the door early tomorrow morning. ”
Mo Fan raised his shoulders, turned to look at Xiao Qiqi and said, "Little guy, since we came out together, let's go find Fu Xiqin together, okay?" ”
The strange beast opened its big round eyes, nodded its head violently, as if it understood Mo Fan's words, and immediately flew to Xiao Ni on the side.
"Hee-hee! No matter how you look at it, you don't look like the legendary beast, I'll call you Xiaobai after you're so white, okay? Xiao Ni reached out to Qi Qi and stroked his big plush head. Xiao Ni is also as happy as a child.
Early the next morning, Mo Fan went out of the Mo Mansion with Lin Yan and Xiao Ni, and Mo Fan didn't know the purpose of the trip, and the only clue was that according to legend, the last place where Fu Xiqin appeared was in the Thousand Buddha Cave. Therefore, Mo Fan and the others had to go all the way west to the Thousand Buddha Cave to have a chance to find it.
"That's right, Xiao Ni. What about Lord Wang? Didn't she go with us? Mo Fan asked as he walked.
"Master, she is in front, I feel that Master is very strong, I guess because we didn't support her yesterday, I'm still angry. Hey, by the way, what about Xiaobai? Where did you hide it? Can't wait to ask.
Mo Fan smiled proudly: "Don't worry, it's already hidden, let's get on the road." Wait for Lord Wang to see it, she will be unhappy again. ”
At dusk, outside Yancheng.
"Ah~ I'm so tired! It's been a day's trip, why don't we find a place to rest? Xiao Ni was so tired that she couldn't walk, and she sat under the tree next to her and gasped and said.
"Hehe, where is this? Can't hold on anymore? Lin Yan said with a smile on the side.
Xiao Ni said unconvinced: "Who said I couldn't hold on?" I'm just tired. Hum! ”
"Let's go for a walk, there are no inns in this barren mountain and wilderness, let's see if we can find it before dark." Mo Fan was also too tired to do it, and said with a breath.
Wang Yu walked in front, looked around and said, "There are two mountains in front of us, and there is a village, we can go there to rest." ”
"Huh? Does Lord Wang come out often? Tell us about it. Mo Fan continued to drag his tired body forward, asking questions as he went.
After a while, Wang Yu let out a long breath and said: "Not long after I entered the Demon Slayer Division to become a real demon hunter, I began to go down the mountain to practice, I have been to many places, I have met many people, and I have met many demons. ”
A few people listened and suddenly became interested. Wang Yu also continued: "I was sent to the Demon Slayer Division by my father since I was a child, and the people in the Demon Slayer Division are not only dedicated to the world, if you want to truly become a demon hunter, you don't necessarily have to enter the Demon Slayer Division, in the Demon Slayer Division, many things are not under your control, and many things are not as simple as we seem on the surface." The current status of the Demon Hunter and the prosperity of the Demon Slayer Division today are inseparable from one person, the First Emperor. As a result, now all people want to be a real demon hunter, and I don't like the open and secret battles there, so I came out and rarely went back. ”
Saying this, Xiao Ni's expression became serious, and she walked forward quietly.
Mo Fan took over and said: "In the current world, those who are Taoists are officials, and they are even higher than the status of officials. That's why the monster hunter doesn't pay official salutes when he meets officials, we all know this. However, you can learn more by entering the Demon Slayer Division, and more importantly, you can eliminate harm for the people, support justice, and eliminate all demons and monsters in the world. ”
"Huh! Justice? One thought becomes a demon and one thought becomes a Buddha, the so-called good and evil are only in one thought. ”
After speaking, Wang Yu stood on the top of the mountain, looked at the village with smoke curling in the distance and continued: Hurry up, the village is ahead.
Soon, several people came to the village. I found a place to rest.
Several people waited to prepare for dinner, and after a long time, an old lady slowly brought the meal up, watching the four of them warmly entertain.
But when the food was served, a few people saw the contents of the plate, a few pieces of wild vegetables, and a pot of gruel.
"A few adults, we only have these here, I hope you don't dislike it." The old lady looked at a few people and said with a kind face.
"What about the rest of the family? Are you alone? Xiao Ni asked suspiciously.
Speaking of this, the old lady looked aggrieved, and tears flowed unconsciously: "The men in the village have been arrested. ”
"Huh? How so? Mo Fan asked puzzled.
The old lady continued: "Just a year ago, the magistrate of the town came and took the remaining men away, saying that they were going to build something. We didn't dare ask. Now, it is not known whether to live or die. Not long ago, a few women in the village went into the mountains to hunt in order to make a living, so as to change something, but when they went in, they have not come back yet, and after that, people have to stay in the village, and dare not go anywhere, and now, they can only eat these things. ”
"Boom!"
Xiao Ni clenched her fists and smashed her fist on the broken wooden table.
"Damn!".
After a few people found out, they didn't say anything, because they all knew it, and it was useless to say it, this is the truth.
