Chapter 139, Bird Hunting

"Birds? What kind of yokai is this? Li Chengjing asked curiously.

Zhang Mingtang explained: "Winning the bird, this kind of monster, is an extremely special and rare monster, one and two. During the day, she is a summer bird, incarnated as a woman, hiding in the world, no different from ordinary people. The night is a bird, a nine-headed blackbird, with a beak and blood. ”

"There are very few records about bird hunting, even in the Dao Treasure of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, there are not many records, and it has been almost four or five hundred years since the Xuanmen cultivation world discovered the bird hunting."

"Four or five hundred years?" Li Chengjing was stunned. asked: "It hasn't appeared for four or five hundred years, so how does this kind of monster inherit the bloodline?" ”

Zhang Mingtang shook his head and said: "I don't know, there are many contradictions in the record of the bird, and only I, Longhu Mountain, have two theories about the origin of the bird. ”

"One said that the bird, formerly known as the Ten Phoenix, was originally a heaven and earth spirit beast that gathered between heaven and earth, and it was an auspicious bird, and it was good luck to see. Later, when the ten phoenixes rode the wind, they encountered the tengu swallowing the sun, and the ten phoenixes did not want the world to fall into darkness, so they fought for a long time, fought with the tengu, and was bitten off by the evil dog, and the tengu was also defeated and retreated, and the world reappeared bright. But without a song, the wound does not heal all year round, suffers all day long, bleeds, and finally turns into a vicious bird. The sun is full of heaven and earth in the daytime, and the birds are the birds of summer, and they become mortal women, and they are kind to others. In the night, the gloomy atmosphere rises, and the bird will turn into a bird, sucking the soul of the person, and the blood on the neck will fall into the house, which can be bad luck, and the whole family of the obscure person will suffer. ”

Li Chengjing recalled the real body of the ugly girl monster he saw that day, shook his head, and said: "This statement should not be true, you and I both saw that day, the ugly girl is a complete nine heads, and there are no wounds, this legend should be untrue." ”

Zhang Mingtang said with a smile: "It's really untrue. Combined with the actual situation, it is very consistent with the second legend recorded in my Longhu Mountain. ”

These two theories, the bird is the soul of the pregnant woman who died of dystocia in the world, because of resentment, obsession is too heavy, can not enter the underworld, wandering in the world, the heart wants to return the yang to the remaining child. Every day sleeps during the day, the moon rises, and runs month by month. If you meet a second pregnant woman who dies in childbirth, they will collect the souls of the other woman and merge the two into one, so that when the souls of the nine pregnant women are one, they will turn into birds, nine heads and one body. Therefore, it is also known as Yin Jiugu. ”

"Because it is a difficult childbirth and the soul of a pregnant woman demonized the bird demon, the bird turns into a bird at night, looks for young children, captivates as their own children, turns into a summer bird during the day, like a mortal, suckles and raises these children, and repeats the cycle until death."

"That's why you're a monster like a bird, first for the mother, and then for the demon!"

Li Chengjing suddenly realized, and said: "It seems that it is the second kind, no wonder the dignified demon is willing to die for a few mortals, it turns out that the root of her existence is motherhood, and I was superficial in judging her before." ”

Li Chengjing admits his mistakes and is not ashamed of them.

Then he said curiously: "But in this way, the monster of the bird is not an evil demon, if she hadn't bumped into those rich people and drowned children, the ugly lady would not have had this catastrophe, why did the Taoist chief say before that the ugly lady deserved it?" ”

Zhang Mingtang sighed and said: "Although Xia Xuaniao is good, no matter how kind she is, she is a monster after all, even if she is no different from a human, she is always a resentful and filthy ghost inside, and the instinct of motherhood makes her use milk to feed those children." You think, those children are just ordinary mortals, how can they bear the milk of the birds, which contains resentment, yin energy, and filth energy. The mind and soul of a child who has eaten this milk are all contaminated with filthy yin energy, and he has been vicious and violent since he was a child, and he has no human goodness. ”

"If you don't believe it, you can inquire about it, and all the children adopted by the ugly mother are absolutely not a good person, they are all shameless evil people. When they grow up, not only will they not respect benevolence, righteousness and filial piety, but they will also go against others. In the end, not to mention being riddled with sins, the souls and twenty-five essences that had been injured by filth and resentment had already made most of them live no more than forty. ”

Li Chengjing didn't need to inquire about this at all, when the ugly lady was tried in the hall that day, Li Chengjing had already heard about the ugly girl's children in the mouths of the passers-by who were watching outside, but it was just as Zhang Mingtang said.

Li Chengjing bowed his hand and thanked: "Thank you for the clarification!" ”

Zhang Mingtang accepted it calmly.

"The reason why Poor Dao is telling you this is that he has given up holding you accountable. But I also hope that you will walk the world in the future, and you will no longer be like the black wind village, free to wander, and treat human life like a mustard. It is important to know that the life of a mortal is determined by freedom, and the good and evil of people are the most difficult to assess, although you have the heart to eliminate evil, but there may not be good results. And the genus of monsters, although there are also good and evil, their own existence is not something that mortals can bear. It has nothing to do with whether they are good or not. This is also the reason why my Xuanmen cultivator walks the world, only slaying demons and eliminating demons, but rarely asks about mortal things. ”

Zhang Mingtang kindly reminded.

Li Chengjing naturally responded on the surface, but naturally didn't care in his heart.

As long as he has a small success, cause and effect are not added, and there are no taboos, why should he estimate these.

Zhang Mingtang wants to make peace with himself, and Li Chengjing naturally won't be stupid and make enemies with him.

"And tomorrow's execution?"

"After all, it is a big demon, naturally it is Poor Dao himself, and Poor Dao has borrowed a seven-grade magic weapon, a seven-star sword, from Erlangtang. All the power of the stars, suppress demons and slay demons! ”

Li Chengjing was not surprised, after all, if a mortal could kill the Great Demon, then there was no need for them to walk the world and eliminate demons.

After chatting about tomorrow's arrangements, Zhang Mingtang left.

Li Chengjing kept recalling the conversation with Zhang Mingtang in his mind, carefully pondering the understanding of people, life, and Tao between the two, and also recalling the cause and effect relationship of the ugly girl, and fell asleep unconsciously.

When I woke up the next day, the snow outside the door had not stopped, and the ground was already covered with thick snow, and it was white, which made people feel at peace at a glance.

"It's a pity that the snow is falling all over the sky, and it will be dyed red by blood."

The time of the ugly girl's execution was three o'clock in the afternoon, because the ugly girl killed too many people, and the crime was extremely heinous. It is the body of a big demon again, and this case is special, so it is impossible to wait for the autumn punishment of next year.

Li Chengjing finished his lunch early and came to the vegetable market in the west of Hongcheng.

The West belongs to the White Tiger, and the Lord Jin is killed.

The place chosen is also extremely particular, and it seems that Zhang Mingtang and others also have people who know a little about feng shui.

By the time he arrived, it was almost difficult to pass, and several streets had already been blocked by countless people, and many people were standing on snow-covered roofs in order to see the appearance of the big demon.

If it weren't for Li Chengjing's success in the Five Elements Fist, and his amazing strength, I'm afraid he would really not be able to enter.

In a low voice of abuse, Li Chengjing finally squeezed into the execution ground before the execution, and after walking to his position, he found that in front of the execution platform, the nine sons of the ugly mother were actually there, and they showed an excited smile on their faces, not caring at all that it was their mother who was about to be executed.

Thinking of Zhang Mingtang's words that day, Li Chengjing calmed down a lot this time, and just sighed.

Shu Changan saw that the hour was almost up, so he asked: "Ugly girl, the hour is coming, do you have any last words to say?" ”

Zhang Mingtang held a seven-star sword inlaid with gems, stood beside the ugly girl, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it!" ”33

The ugly mother raised her head, smiled at Zhang Mingtang, and then looked at her nine sons below the torture table, and said: "I don't blame you for my mother, but my mother's only wish is to hope that you can take good care of your younger brothers and sisters and raise them to grow up, this is your mother's only wish, can you do it?" ”

Hearing the ugly girl's words, the people under the torture platform were all moved.

But at this time, his nine sons laughed and scolded: "Old witch, you are dying, and you are still worried about those bastards, since you care so much, you can rest assured, they will go to accompany you later." Take care of them, they should have been thrown into the river of ink and drowned. Why should we raise them! Don't you know, if it weren't for a few neighbors around you, they would have starved to death and were waiting for you below! Hahaha......"

Wanton laughter resounded throughout the execution ground.

Everyone looked at the nine of them in amazement, not daring to imagine that this was actually what a human could say.

"Oh no, you guys shut up!" Zhang Mingtang suddenly shouted in anger, because he found that the ugly girl lowered her head silently, and her whole body began to emit black demonic energy, which was amazing.

Some people died, but not completely......
