Chapter 137: The Dog Demon Who Harms People
Bone Grove!
This place is a forbidden place, nearly a thousand miles northwest of the Qiao family, on the edge of the Qiao family's sphere of influence.
Miasma is permeated in the air, the sheep intestine trail appears and disappears from time to time, the ground under your feet shows a strange black and purple color, scattered skeletons appear on the side of the road, there are people and beasts, and there is a slightly fishy floral fragrance in the air.
As the sun set, the light was dim, the dead trees were dancing with their teeth and claws, and there were many crows squatting on them, Tang Xuan walked forward, and the crows took off and followed, their eyes were full of eagerness.
The road ahead suddenly widened, and the crow only walked to this position, and then stopped moving forward, watching Tang Xuan leave.
In front of a low hill with stone steps appearing, winding upwards leading to a temple.
"Hui'an Temple ......" Tang Xuan came to the temple gate, looked up at the dilapidated plaque, it seemed to be a holy place for Buddhism.
This temple seems to be taken care of, although it is dilapidated, but the courtyard is very clean, but if you smell it carefully, you can obviously smell a smell of blood, which is unpleasant.
A burst of green smoke drifted out, and there was a fire cooking near the main hall, Tang Xuan followed the smoke to find a little monk who lit a fire, this little monk had a yellow face and thin muscles, and a bitter and hateful face, and was adding firewood to the stove.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, this master, cook!" Tang Xuan leaned over and accosted him with a smile on his face.
The monk glanced at Tang Xuan, didn't speak, and still added firewood one by one.
"Dumb? Deaf? Tang Xuan frowned, and asked again, but the monk still didn't speak.
Tang Xuan shook his head helplessly, so he had to walk into the main hall to check, it was dark in this hall, only two sandalwood sticks were lit on the incense case, the hall was full of smoke, and the roast suckling pig exuded bursts of meat fragrance, it seemed that the gods here were doing well.
Looking up, it was not the Buddha who was enshrined, but a handsome man in a yellow robe, this man was holding a folding fan, looking elegant, with a smile on his face, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth......
Tang Xuan frowned, he had entered many temples in his life, he had seen countless gods, and he had known a lot of gods in the earthly and heavenly realms, but this one in front of him was very eye-catching.
He didn't bow down, walked to the table, picked up the roast suckling pig and took a bite, the taste was acceptable, Tang Xuan picked up the wine next to him and drank it in one gulp.
Fresh rice wine, cool and refreshing, Tang Xuan wiped his mouth, let out a long breath, and suddenly felt a hundred times more energetic.
The yellow-robed god on the lotus platform actually had spiritual wisdom, and the expression that originally seemed to be smiling was gone, and a trace of anger appeared, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Tang Xuan in front of him.
Tang Xuan sniffed in the air with his nose, the bloody aura in this hall was even worse, it seemed to come from behind this hall, he bypassed the gods and followed the breath to find it......
Sure enough, in the courtyard behind the main hall, a female corpse was found.
The female corpse, dressed in a black and white uniform, was lying on the ground in a large shape, with a sword falling to the side, her neckline wide open, her chest covered with blood, and her abdomen was a large hole, in which the internal organs had completely disappeared.
Tang Xuan covered his mouth and nose and stepped forward to check, there were traces of gnawing on the female corpse, it seemed that the other party was a very picky eater, and only ate the soft part of the female corpse, as well as the internal organs in the abdomen......
Tang Xuan stood up and said coldly, "Did you do it?" ”
"Huh...... It's this god! You are really bold to steal the tribute of this god. The voice behind him sounded, Tang Xuan slowly turned around, and saw the yellow-robed man standing behind him on the lotus platform just now.
This yellow-robed man is not a god, but a big demon, and his whole body is full of demonic energy!
Tang Xuan smiled slightly, his face was indifferent, and said: "Without your boldness, you are just a little demon, you actually occupy the temple and scourge the immortal cultivators, you have violated the rules of heaven, are you not afraid of being punished by heaven?" ”
"You and other mere mortals are also worthy of talking? It's ridiculous, I'll send you on your way now! The white light on the yellow-robed man's body was so bright that he turned into a two-foot giant dog.
Its head is like a wheat bucket, its mouth is like a blood basin, its yellow hair is like a steel needle, its huge canine teeth are longer than Tang Xuan's forearms, and the corners of its mouth are salivating, hideous and terrifying.
"It turned out to be a Shiba Inu!" As soon as Tang Xuan stretched out his hand, several black iron chains rushed out of the ground, binding the big demon and locking it on the ground.
The dog demon opened its mouth and let out a terrible wail, struggling violently, but it couldn't get out at all.
At this time, the burning monk quickly arrived, and when he saw the big demon being captured, he was emotional.
"Sir, kill him! This demon is cruel and has killed hundreds of people, even the monks of my temple have been eaten by it, and I am the only one left. ”
"Don't be excited, master, please talk about it in detail." Tang Xuan said soothingly.
The bitter-faced monk pointed at the yellow-robed demon with his hand, and said in a trembling voice: "My temple was originally dedicated to the Heavenly Realm Huiyi Zen Master, Huiyi Zen Master Buddhism is profound, Pudu sentient beings, pilgrims come to incense endlessly, the wind and rain are smooth for dozens of miles nearby, and the people live and work in peace and contentment...... Five years ago, this yellow-robed dog demon came out of nowhere, killed Zen Master Huiyi, occupied the temple, and killed many people! ”
After that, the bitter-faced monk began to cry and was very sad.
"Master's Day Mourning ......" Tang Xuan couldn't help but show anger on his face, this dog demon is really bad, even the monks eat it, and they don't have any reverence for the Buddha at all.
The monk wiped his tears and said: "Many people dragged their families and moved away, and this place has not rained for many years, and now it has almost become a wasteland...... The little monk can only help him carry the corpse, and after a hundred years, I don't know what face to see the Buddha! ”
The dog demon turned into a yellow-robed man, broke free from the chains, and knew that there was no hope of escaping, so he simply came to the monk: "Don't worry, you have been following this demon for many years, and after death, you will go to the eighteenth layer of hell, and you will definitely not see the Buddha!" ”
When the monk heard this, he collapsed on the ground and wept bitterly, his eyes full of despair.
"Master, you are not evil, you are just carrying and burying some corpses to prevent the victims from exposing the corpses to the wilderness, this is a matter of immeasurable merit......" Tang Xuan hurriedly spoke comfortingly.
The monk wiped his tears, pointed to the dog demon in front of him, and said, "Please take action and kill this evil dog!" ”
Tang Xuan stretched out his hand, and the white light in his hand gathered, and he was about to kill him!
Seeing this, the dog waved his hand again and again, looking innocent, and defended: "I am just eating people here, and I am not guilty...... The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, and if a person eats a dog, he is not guilty, and if a dog eats a man, he will be executed. Haven't adults ever eaten dog meat? ”
Tang Xuan stopped his movements, scratched his head, and was speechless, looking at the paralyzed monk on the ground, his eyes asking for help.
The monk stood up and said sharply: "People eat dogs just to fill their stomachs, but what about you? Only the internal organs were eaten, and the rest was lost, apparently mutilating the innocent. ”
"I just think it's delicious...... Besides, if I don't harm them, they will always die, just let them enter the reincarnation early! ”
The dog demon obviously didn't read the scriptures less, this theory is set by one, he saw that Tang Xuan looked soft and indecisive, and immediately came to his senses, and continued: "The Buddha said, everything in the world is illusory, and everything comes from the heart...... You see me as a cannibal, but I only treat them as plants and trees, just as you eat whole grains! As the saying goes, 'wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha stays in his heart,', although this demon eats people, he is a kind and good demon! ”
"You...... You...... Swear black is white.! ”
The monk trembled with anger, and he was speechless to refute, this dog demon has been a spirit for thousands of years, and the monk is only a few dozen years old, so he can't say anything about this dog demon.
Tang Xuan sighed, but he couldn't even get off the killer, and slowly put down his hand.
"Thank you for sparing my dog's life, I will definitely be a cow and a horse in the next life, and repay the grace of the adult for not killing!" Seeing Tang Xuan's hesitation, the yellow-robed dog demon clenched his fists and quickly walked out.
"My lord, don't let him go, otherwise his life will be ruined!" The bitter-faced monk was anxious and grabbed Tang Xuan's sleeve.
"Come back!" Tang Xuan snorted.
The dog demon quickly turned around, returned to Tang Xuan's side, and said: "My lord, don't listen to him, this group of bald thieves is the most hateful, they don't grow a single grain, they eat here every day and wait for death, and cheat the people out of money......"
"Okay, I think about it, you dog demon, if I kill you, you will definitely not accept it! If I let you go, lest thou harm the people again...... So, be my mount, and I've got you in the right place. Tang Xuan chose a compromise method, not only to prevent the dog demon from harming people anymore, but also not to hurt his life.
"It's an honor that the little demon is willing to follow the adults! In fact, people are not delicious, and they are not as delicious as human feces. The dog demon thanked him again and again, stood behind Tang Xuan, and immediately changed into a serious expression, like a bodyguard.
"Master, you can ask someone to ask another god to guard this temple." As soon as Tang Xuan stretched out his hand, he condensed a gold ingot and put it in the monk's hand.
The monk sighed, took the gold, and said, "Thank you for your help, this place is already deserted, and I will complain that my Dharma is not refined, but this dog demon can't say it...... I hope that adults will be more restrained in the future. ”
The monk said that, and walked out of the temple lonely, ready to go elsewhere......
……
Tang Xuan ordered the dog demon to show its original form, rode the big dog, and continued to move northwest.
"I saw that the adults were born with dragons and tigers, and when I saw the adults, I suddenly felt that the heroic spirit was coming, and the domineering side leaked, and I must not be mortal...... Dare to ask what adults call it? As he walked, the dog demon asked, he was very cunning and wanted to inquire about Tang Xuan's details.
"Tang Xuan."
"It turned out to be Lord Tang, disrespectful and disrespectful, my name is Huang Yin, I grew up in Junping Mountain in the West since I was a child, and I have been a demon for 5,000 years! The adult just said that there is something to work, I don't know what it is? "This yellow-robed dog demon is obviously an old fritter in the rivers and lakes, and he speaks very well.
Tang Xuan took out a belly pocket from his arms, shook it in front of the dog demon's nose, and said: "I'm looking for a woman, but I don't know where it is, I can only bring one of her underwear as a clue, I wonder if you can use this thing to find it?" ”
"Searching for people is my forte, wait for me to find people!" The dog demon stopped, put Tang Xuan down, and then turned into a yellow-robed man.
The dog demon took the belly pocket in his hand, and there were words in his hand, Tang Xuan listened closely, it turned out to be a complicated scripture, it seems that this dog demon practiced in the temple and learned a lot.
Suddenly, the dog demon threw the belly pocket in his hand into the air, and the belly pocket suddenly caught fire and burned, turning into ashes in a moment.
A wisp of white mist emerged from the smoke, turned into a white worm, and rushed into the nostrils of the dog demon.
The dog demon clasped his hands together, shouted, and spit out the white mist from his mouth, and the white mist turned into a vague human form, like a soul, and this white mist rose into the air and headed due west, but began to fade slowly.
"Here, follow me!" The dog demonized into a big yellow dog, carrying Tang Xuan off the path and speeding through the dry woods, chasing the white mist in the air.
