Chapter 533: Latent
The smoke escape technique is not far away, this is not the disadvantage of the tiger demon's escape, but it is the place where Dong Zhongshu senses the trouble.
He glanced at the villagers who were crying out in the sacrificial grounds, and then at the lights in the darkness.
"Brother Xu, does your Nongzong have a way to find demons and distinguish ghosts?" Dong Zhongshu asked.
"Monk, don't you have the ability to recognize it?"
The calm look on Xu Ji's face didn't last for a long time, and then it became ugly.
Ordinary demons don't have much ability, only some strong and strong swordsmanship skills, but some old demons have grown in knowledge.
When it comes to the tiger demon who can use the magic of demons and ghosts, the other party can not only learn some human spells that may be used through this magical power, but also have the ability to live in human social groups.
Looking at the many villagers who were beaten down by Dong Zhongshu with his strength, Xu Ji only felt that things were in trouble.
Several cries rang out in the village, and he could already hear the voices of many villagers coming out of the house with knives and arrows.
"My level of qi observation is relatively poor, it's okay to look at the little demon, but it's difficult to identify this kind of old demon who lives in human villages all year round," Dong Zhongshu frowned.
His qi recognition technique originated from the Yin Yang Nine Heavens Sect's Qi Recognition Technique, and he could be learned by the Confucian lineage, so this Qi Recognition Technique was naturally incomplete.
When dealing with some low-end cases, Qi recognition is invincible.
However, when it is a high-end problem, the effect of qi recognition is low.
The Tiger Demon undoubtedly fits into this category.
Although the other party is old and frail, lacks the courage of his youth, and relies more on magic, he is defeated in the hands of Dong Zhongshu in just three moves and two styles, but the realm of the tiger demon is real.
"This tiger demon is good at the art of ghosts, but I am afraid that he has the ability to exchange between demon bodies and ghosts!" Xu Ji said.
"Not only that, but he can also rely on ghosts to possess and turn into humans, making it difficult for us to distinguish which is a normal villager and which is an abnormal villager!"
Dong Zhongshu shook his head.
The demons who fled in the desert can always track down the lair, but the demons hiding in the crowd are difficult to deal with.
The other side will even borrow people to deal with them.
As long as they are law-abiding and not unscrupulous madmen, such people will not wantonly slaughter villagers.
And if it is another kind of person, this kind of person is more of a profit, and it is definitely difficult to have the concept of eliminating demons and protecting the safety of the surroundings.
The former can be targeted by normal people, while the latter has little to do with the tiger demon.
In this mountain village, the tiger demon is almost the uncrowned king.
Unless you can kill him with one blow after grabbing the handle, you will inevitably be targeted by the tiger demon.
Dong Zhongshu snorted, and when he asked Xu Ji for help to save the people of the merchant group, he only heard the noisy sound outside getting closer and closer.
"It's those outsiders, they beat our village, and everyone can't get up from lying in the ancestral hall!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill the outsiders!"
……
Among the mixed voices were old women, old farmers, young adults, young boys and girls, and young children.
The voice approached quickly, and Dong Zhongshu could even see the hoe in the hand of the young man led by him, and someone began to pull the string with a bow.
"Everyone, there is a tiger demon in your village, it devours people, uses supernatural powers to turn ghosts into ghosts and harms people, and also finds ...... in your village."
Before Xu Ji's shouting explanation fell, an arrow sharpened by a bamboo flew in the darkness.
This kind of arrow is not as good as the army's feather arrows, but it is still full of lethality.
Dozens of meters away, he pulled a bow and shot an arrow, and an arrow shot into Xu Ji's chest.
Bright red blood gushed out, and Xu Ji no longer cared about persuading these bewitched villagers, holding his chest, he quickly pushed the door of the ancestral hall to lock the door.
"Escape ......"
The middle-aged man who had gambled money before struggled to get up, and was about to make a threat, but was then knocked down by the young man Xu Ji with a stick.
"Xu Yuan, you can't take it too seriously, these people are forced to be coerced by demons," Xu Ji said.
"In my opinion, all these dogs should be hacked to death," said the young man, "They poisoned passers-by, and I don't know how many innocent people have died over the years." ”
"If they get rid of that demon, they will have no ability to harm people, and they will naturally become good citizens in the future," Xu Ji said.
"Then that's all they did to people?"
It was difficult for the young man to understand Xu Ji's teachings, which made Xu Ji sigh, but he just bolted the door of the ancestral hall a little tighter.
"If you don't face life and death, you never know how low the lower limit is in order to survive," Xu Ji said: "If these villagers catch you and me, they let you go out and lure a traveler over and let me go, do you want to do it?" ”
"I ......"
The boy was stunned for a while.
If he is beaten and killed, he will not be able to say anything.
But if he really has to face the kind of situation Xu Ji said, he can't say that he has to do something wrong in order to save Xu Ji.
"After you do this kind of thing, they feed me delicious food and drink, but they don't let me go, and they want you to lure another traveler, what should you do?" Xu Ji said: "As long as you do one such thing, it is difficult for you to guarantee that you will not do it a second time, and then you will completely fall into depravity when you get used to it!" ”
Xu Ji pointed to the villagers who had been beaten to the ground by the tiger demon, indicating that the reason for these people's fall also came from this.
Even the families of these villagers are here, and the fields are here, and they have little ability to earn a living outside the home, so they are tied even deeper.
If the entire village fell into it, Xu Ji would not be surprised.
"The farmer attaches the most importance to the education of the farmer!"
Seeing Zhang Xuezhou get up from the ground, and glanced at Xu Ji and Xu Yuan curiously, Dong Zhongshu couldn't help but shrug his shoulders.
A chaotic beating is about to take place, and the peasant school is still preaching.
For example, the Yin-Yang family will not care about the villagers, they will fight if they can, and they will leave if they can't, and the life or death of the villagers does not matter the half-dime of the Yin-Yang family.
Confucians like to be reasonable.
Dong Zhongshu rolled up his sleeves, obviously ready to be 'reasonable'.
If he can't persuade these villagers, he can only put these people down.
"Dongfang Shuo, you stop the bleeding for Brother Xu" Dong Zhongshu said: "Brother Xu, these people in our business group have some martial arts, and we also trouble you to wake them up, so that we can increase in number!" ”
"This, this, this, and this are all very good at fighting!"
After Zhang Xuezhou took out a Taihalal technique to help Xu Ji stop the bleeding, he stretched out his finger and pointed at the two guest secretaries and two horsemen in the business group.
As a big family in Shu County, the strength of the Zhao family is not bad, even if Ma Fu's fists and feet can deal with three or five villagers, Keqing will not have a problem dealing with ten or eight villagers.
This is not to say that it is difficult for everyone to fight the villagers with martial arts, but it is extremely difficult to subdue dozens or hundreds of people when they cannot kill the villagers.
If you hit it lightly, it has no effect, and if you hit it hard, it is easy to die.
They are not even convenient to use weapons.
In addition, it is necessary to guard against the possible sneak attack of the tiger demon, which is difficult to grasp the scale of the shot, and there are also extremely high response requirements.
Even Dong Zhongshu is not easy at the moment.
He looked at the constantly colliding deadbolt and quickly urged Xu Ji to help.
"This wisteria likes to eat demons, but it doesn't have the ability to subdue demons, so it can only rely on us to cast spells, Xu Yuan, when you cast spells, ......"
Probably because of the lack of confidence in Zhang Xuezhou's technique, Xu Ji did not pull out the bamboo arrow in his chest.
He struggled with his body, muttering about the magic of wisteria.
Rather than saying that this is the education of a farmer, Zhang Xuezhou feels that Xu Ji lacks confidence in everyone, and it is more like he is explaining the aftermath.
When Xu Ji smashed a stick on the green grass that he spit out before, the gray mist in the green grass was dispersed, and then the grass was stuffed into the mouth of the Zhao family.
Zhang Xuezhou took a deep breath, and he was also glad that he had some ability, so he didn't fall into the need to stuff the grass balls that others had eaten in his mouth.
Zhang Debiao, who was rescued by Xu Ji, screamed and rolled up, and when he rolled up, the bolt of the ancestral hall gate was cut by someone inserting a firewood knife through the crack in the door.
In just an instant, the gate was violently pushed open, and the black-pressed crowd with various farm tools and knives suddenly poured in.
