Chapter 27: Who is the Demon?
At night, the streets are quiet, and the townspeople go to bed early.
Only a black figure stepped high on the roof, and after a few leaps, he came to the address where the fairy master lived, the mansion of the town mayor Huo Shan.
The black shadow quietly fell in the courtyard, pressing his steps, and was about to find the house of the female fairy master, but he heard someone's footsteps, and hurriedly hid in the shadows on the side, covering his own breath.
I saw the old man during the day, Huo Shan, walking alone to the door of a room and knocking on the door: "Immortal Master, have you slept?" ”
The room was brightly lit, and the voice of the fairy master was heard, "Not yet, what's the matter with the mayor?" ”
"I want to discuss with the immortal master what to do with the corpse of the scorpion spirit."
With a squeak, the door opened, and the fairy master walked out, "Even if the scorpion spirit is dead, his body must not be discarded indiscriminately, so let's do it, I will burn his body tomorrow." ”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Huo Shan with his hands on his hips, as if he was chasing people.
Huo Shan hurriedly said yes and left.
Seeing that the other party had left, the female fairy also turned around and went back to the room.
Chen Siyu walked out at this time, came to the outside of the room, and listened attentively.
This time, he could hear something unusual, and he muttered in his heart.
"You can slip away after getting this ticket tomorrow, hehe!"
"That is, there are no monks here, otherwise I would have been exposed, such a simple scam is believed by anyone, the people in this town are really easy to deceive." There was a burst of laughter in the room.
"How can there be so many monsters, although there has been more friction between people and monsters recently, but it is not so blatantly sucking the essence of people, in the final analysis, you are too ignorant, people are the same, this can't blame me."
It turns out that this fairy master is a female liar!
Chen Siyu said in his belly: Is the scorpion essence in the day fake? No wonder he felt weak, it was estimated that the little demon who was not in the climate was captured by her to fill the number.
It's just that she can actually transform the little demon into a human form, which is a good spell, Chen Siyu couldn't help but nodded.
Seeing that the matter had been clarified, Chen Siyu thought about going back to rest, although this deception was immoral, but it did not cause any casualties, but he just cheated some money, and he was too lazy to care.
Immediately, he jumped out of the fence, ready to find a place to rest for the night, and then set out on the road again tomorrow.
He searched around the street, but he didn't find a house with lights on, and he couldn't help but feel distressed, he wouldn't want to sleep on the street.
Suddenly, he heard an oops, followed by the sound of someone falling and falling, and he walked quickly to see that it was the person who was arguing with him during the day.
I saw him covering his buttocks, looking up, and snorting softly.
Then he found a hand on his shoulder and said, "Uncle, what are you doing!" ”
Suddenly there was an extra hand, he was startled at first, and after hearing the voice, he looked back tremblingly, and found that it was a young man during the day, so he was relieved, and said angrily: "What did you do!" It's you, who are still wandering the streets in the middle of the night. ”
Chen Siyu scratched his head embarrassedly, "It's not like I just came here today and didn't find a place to live." ”
The man took two steps back for no reason, remembering the youkai they had said during the day that they were sucking essence, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared of the young man in front of him.
Seeing the frightened look on the other party's face, Chen Siyu knew that the other party had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Uncle, don't worry, I am a living person, not a monster." ”
"Who knows! The youkai before looked pretty normal..."The man still didn't believe it.
"If I were a youkai, wouldn't I have been discovered by the immortal master during the day? Where will it appear so openly and brightly? ”
The man thought about it, as if this was the reason, but he still looked at Chen Siyu vigilantly, "Then what are you doing here!" ”
"Am I not here to find relatives? It turned out that I took the wrong route, so I didn't want to stay one night and leave tomorrow. Chen Siyu sincerely handed out a piece of silver.
As soon as the man grabbed Chen Siyu's hand, he said enthusiastically: "Hey! I knew it during the day, you're definitely not a monster, and I've talked to you a lot! ”
Chen Siyu held back a smile and nodded.
"My name is Li Da, what's your name?"
"Chen Siyu."
"It's late, I'll take you back to rest first." Li Da pointed to the house in front of him and said.
Chen Siyu was stunned, and looked curiously at the second floor of the house next door. It was from there that Li Da fell.
He thought it was his house, but it was his house next door.
"Huh? No, isn't your next door Lao Wang? What are you doing in the middle of the night? This time it was Chen Siyu's turn to look at Li Da suspiciously.
Li Da's confidence is a little insufficient, "I can't look at the scenery!" I went to see it when I heard a movement in his house. ”
Thinking of the words of the day, Chen Siyu sighed, and his voice was long.
Li Da blushed, snorted angrily, pushed open the door, and walked in.
Because it was too late, Li Da found a room for Chen Siyu and said, "You can be wronged for one night, this is usually what I entertain relatives and friends, and it is quite clean." ”
Chen Siyu took a look, everything should be there, and it was not a problem to get a good night's sleep, "It's already good." ”
After Li Da left, Chen Siyu lay on the bed, feeling a little excited, this was the first time he came out to travel, and it felt very fresh.
I couldn't calm down to cultivate for a while, so I simply covered myself and fell asleep with my head covered.
...
...
...
The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Chen Siyu heard some noise outside, and couldn't help but rub his head, "What's the matter, it's so noisy." ”
When I came to the door, I opened the door and looked out, it turned out to be a female fairy master parade through the street with the corpse of the scorpion spirit, and the townspeople passing by were amazed and discussed.
"What do you say this is for?" Li Da also walked to the door and asked curiously.
"It's burned, what else can I do." Chen Siyu replied casually, then turned around and went back to wash.
"Aren't you going to take a look?"
"No, I'm not interested." Chen Siyu had already planned to leave later.
"Okay, then I'll go and see." Li Da is obviously a master who likes to join in the fun, and when he saw the crowd going away, he immediately followed.
"Everyone! The immortal master said that this monster must be burned to prevent his corpse from causing trouble, in addition, the immortal master will also give us rune water, as long as we drink the rune water, we can be immune to all diseases and strengthen our bodies. Huo Shan knelt down in front of the female fairy master and said reverently.
When Lian Yanran heard Huo Shan's words, she was immediately stunned for a moment, did she say that she would distribute rune water?
Seeing Huo Shan keep giving her a look, she reacted, probably the mayor added it temporarily.
She thought to herself: It doesn't matter, it's just Fu Shui, just fool around with it casually, but this money will definitely have to be charged more later, thinking of this, Lian Yanran smiled, "What the mayor said is very true, although this demon has been eliminated, after all, he has been here for a week, and the demon qi will inevitably affect your body, but..."
She lengthened her voice, "As long as you drink this talisman water, there will naturally be no problem." ”
The mayor of the town also echoed on the side, and it could be seen that Huo Shan usually had some prestige in the town, and the two cooperated to sing and harmonize, and the townspeople all rushed forward, just to drink the rune water first.
I saw Lian Yanran take out a pile of talismans, and then asked Huo Shan to fetch water, signaling that she was going to start making talisman water.
Huo Shan nodded yes, walked quickly to the crowd, and called a few people together.
When he went to carry water, Lian Yanran took out a few fire charms and pasted them on the body of the scorpion essence, and after a while, the body of the scorpion essence began to burn, producing a foul smell.
Soon, Huo Shan came back with a jar of water.
Boom! A jar of water was placed in front of Lian Yanran.
She recited words in her mouth, mobilized the few mana in her body, and then the talisman suddenly burned, and then she threw it into the vat.
A puff of white smoke drifted by, and a vat of runic water was made.
Huo Shan leaned into Lian Yanran's ear at this time and said a few words, and then saw Lian Yanran nodding, and with a light touch of his hand, a ball of runic water rose from the tank and was drunk by her.
After Lian Yanran finished drinking and said that there was no problem, the townspeople rushed up, with their hands and mouths to drink, some with bowls, and even with containers that they wanted to take back and store, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
"Hey! Don't step on me! You old king! Li Da watched the old Wang next door holding the widow's hand and stepping on his feet, his angry teeth itching.
But there were too many people, and he couldn't squeeze in.
"Don't worry, everyone, they all have it." Huo Shan shouted while directing everyone to line up in order and come one by one.
Under his command, everyone quickly formed a long line, and everyone was only allowed to drink a small scoop, and it was the turn of the next one.
Li Da missed the opportunity, so he had to be at the end, seeing that others drank the talisman water, he was in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do, he didn't dare to cut the queue in public.
About an hour later, he finally arrived, only to see that the water was almost gone, he hurriedly approached, scooped a little hard with a water scoop, and was about to drink when he heard someone groaning.
He looked back, and many people fell to the ground clutching their stomachs.
What's going on? He was a little confused.
When I turned around, I saw that even Yanran's face was a little pale and she didn't seem to be very comfortable.
Li Da watched everyone rolling on the ground with their stomachs covered, and couldn't help but have a trace of fear in his heart.
Wouldn't it be that the youkai appeared, he looked at the burning corpse, a little hairy, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.
Suddenly, he noticed something that scared him even more, there were two other people present who seemed to be unaffected.
One was Huo Shan, the mayor of the town, who was walking to the side of the fairy master at this time, with an anxious face, as if asking her what to do now, but the fairy master was sweating profusely and couldn't speak.
There is another one, it is the out-of-town man he asked him to stay at home yesterday, Chen Siyu.
Isn't it time for him to leave? He clearly said that he would leave after washing, why is he here now? Could it be that ...
Li Da didn't dare to think about it anymore, and the whole person involuntarily stepped back, until the person behind him reacted.
He looked back, it turned out to be Huo Shan, he grabbed Huo Shan's hand and said, "Mayor Town, let the immortal master save us!" This man must be a youkai! Otherwise, something would have happened to him as soon as he came. "He looked flustered and breathless.
For a long time, he didn't get a response from the mayor, he suddenly felt like he was being targeted behind him, and a chill hit him, making him break out in a cold sweat.
He turned his head stiffly and said in a trembling voice, "Mayor Town? ”
Goo! He swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously, only to see that the mayor in front of him was already full of iron and blue, covered with corpse spots, and one eyeball fell out of the eye socket.
The fishy mouth twitched and smiled, and a mouthful of big yellow teeth opened and closed: "Ho ho, yes, it must be a monster, but it's not him, it's me!" ”
