Chapter 473: Types of Demons
I leaned on the bed and swung around, Xu Chengcheng brought me a cup of hot water and asked, "Yangsheng, it's still so uncomfortable!" The last time you fought in the enemy's castle, you lost too much and still haven't fully recovered! ”
"It's nothing, it's just that it's too much attrition, and we used to eat whips together. Now that I'm away from home, I don't have much money, I can't eat whips, and my recovery is naturally slow. ”
Li Huhu, who was driving, heard my words and said, "There's a village in front, why don't we eat something and let them get us a whip." Otherwise, Yangsheng is still so empty! ”
"Second Senior Brother, we've traveled so much again, it's time to eat something good. It's better to have a whip, if you don't, then eat something else, it's good to have an aphrodisiac. I said with a big yawn.
Xu Chengcheng said: "I have been here before, and I heard that there are many strange herbs in the area here, and there is a herb field in the village not far from here. However, it is said that there is a descendant of a youkai who guards the herb field, and it is not known if there is a tonic for replenishing physical strength in the herb field. ”
"It doesn't matter if you have it or not, it's a big deal that I burned the offspring of that monster and grabbed the medicine. Watch me defeat the youkai guarding the medicine field, snatch the herbs, and then take over the place. Li Huhu said very easily, who made his mind so simple!
"Although, this medicine field is guarded by monsters, but we just grabbed it and killed people! We're a robbery, but I'm curious, can youkai coexist peacefully with the villagers? I don't know, if we robbed the monster's property with great skill, is it considered a robbery? I asked, confused.
Li Huhu teased again: "Are there any good monsters?" Senior Brother Yangsheng began to sympathize with the monster again, I really doubt that Yangsheng is human? However, there are not many monster medicines. ”
Xu Chengcheng said: "Monsters are not only creatures that have cultivated into the climate, but also evil thoughts that gather into food, and humans and pure demons can also come out of monsters." In fact, there are special scientists who study monsters, and this discipline is called monster science. ”
Even I am blank in these aspects of knowledge, so when I am interested, I want Xu Chengcheng to tell me about it.
"Yokai refers to supernatural beings that exist in heaven and earth other than humans and gods, that is, phenomena or things that are temporarily difficult for people to explain scientifically due to cognitive limitations. To put it clearly, some creatures have extraordinary abilities, but there are also a large group of resentful gatherings, which can be said to be a type of demons. As for the study of these supernatural beings, it is called yokai science, which is included in the study of folklore, ethnology, cultural anthropology, linguistic sociology, and other disciplines. Moreover, it is a very interesting doctrine. Xu Chengcheng roughly explained, I understand a little, it is rare for him to show off to me once and began to explain slowly and logically.
"Yokai can refer to weird, abnormal things and phenomena. In ancient times, people would encounter strange and unbelievable monsters, but in modern times, more and more people have studied and found out these situations. "Confucius Congzi Deaison": "If the valley of Zhongshan, the monster thing is not the so-called Tianxiang." Monsters can also refer to elves, remember the fake river god we cleaned up in Fenhe? In fact, it is a Hanoi elf, with a creature of cultivation, he can benefit one party, and of course he can also do evil. Most of them are spirits that have been transformed into plants, spiritual animals, etc. Something that is different from or surpasses the reality and existence of animals, plants, etc., and appears in the concept of human beings. The Eastern Jin Dynasty literati Gan Bao's "Sou Shen Ji" pointed out, "The monster is also the one who covers the essence of the object." The qi is chaotic in the middle, the things change in the outside, the shape and spirit temperament, and the use of the inside and the outside. Based on the five elements, through the five things, although the news rises and falls, and the ten thousand ends are moved, it can be discussed in the field of the sign of blame. At the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, a document recorded, "Wen Su said: 'The minister enlightens my king, this sword can cut off all the demons and ghosts in the world.'" If the ghosts see this sword, they will be terrified, and there will be no escape. The king said, 'What monsters are there in the widow's palace?' Xu Chengcheng introduced in detail.
After listening to the explanation, I probably understood a little, but the sword that the Martial King said when he was fighting in the end was a better artifact than my broken sword, and I was more interested.
"It's a bit too much, let me tell you, the monster guarding the medicine field in the village in front of me is the third situation, it is a child born to a person and a monster, and the child is not a human but a demon. I heard from the locals that one day there was a strange-looking but coercive person in the mountains, but some people said it was a demon. He came to the mountain and took a fancy to a young and beautiful woman, and had sex with her, and soon the woman became pregnant. Being pregnant out of wedlock was very fatal a few decades ago, so she hid in the mountains and was guarded by the guy who seemed to be a demon and a non-human person, until the child grew up, and their mother and son did not go down the mountain. That person is not a shemale or a demon, but it has never appeared again, but it is the child, the monster who guards the medicine field, born more than three meters tall, more than twice the size of the average person, and the voice is as thick as a bell, which makes people afraid when they see it. Xu Chengcheng said again.
After hearing this, I nodded and said, "In this way, this monster who guards the medicine field has a very strong combat power!" If it doesn't want to give us herbs, I'm afraid we'll have another terrible fight. ”
"Don't say that, you're not right, though, that youkai is huge. However, it is cowardly and not aggressive by nature, and the people in the village can bully it, whether it is old or young, women and children, and this monster is still obedient. In my opinion, as long as we communicate with it well, it will be very cooperative with us. ”
Li Huhu was a little incomprehensible, and said in a disdainful tone: "Hey, we have killed demons so many times, and there are good monsters." I really haven't seen it, at least the youkai brought by Jun Yamamoto, that is, those Shikigami, are all evil. Don't think of that monster in the former village as a weak and kind creature because of hearsay, but people are monsters, and they are naturally stronger than humans. Although there are rumors that it is good, it does not mean that the other party is not a threat. You have to realize that the gap between humans and youkai is something you learned from your birth, because he has a demon's left hand, and you don't want to be human anymore. ”
The car drove again and didn't go far before it stopped.
Xu Chengcheng and I acted together and walked in the direction of the mountain village, in order to heal and recover in the future, I specially went to visit the monster.
Li Huhu, the stubborn donkey, can't follow, if he acts with us again, I'm afraid that there will be a quarrel, his value concept is that good and evil are not separated, and there is no place for convergence...... To put it bluntly, it's the shaft.
Just leave him behind and hand it over to Su Mad, a Taoist scientist, to educate, and as for Geng Biaobiao, leave it to the two of them to play treasure.
The beautiful mountains are beautiful, with the chirping of birds, and the flowers and plants along the way are really beautiful. Although it is now winter, this area is a different situation, and it is not gloomy because of the cold at all.
"Second Senior Brother, you didn't remember the wrong way, or we walked too slowly, it's been an hour." I said a little upset.
"You can't be mistaken, you think, how rare it is for a youkai to live in a human village! Of course, I will remember it very clearly, and the smell of the medicine field is very strong and unique, and my nose is so sensitive, I can't be wrong to lead the way. Although the mountain road is a bit crooked, you may get lost, but you can't go wrong in the general direction. Yangsheng, haven't you always thought that some people can be bad to the bone marrow, and you can also make a comparison with a monster like this, can't you? It's still early, so let's walk with me and enjoy the scenery. ”
I yawned and said, "Really? I hope what you say is true, then you lead the way, and I will follow. ”
Xu Chengcheng said again: "Yangsheng, it seems that we haven't acted together for a long time, and the only time we have it seems to be the last time I went to Thailand to catch Keba." However, it was still in vain. ”
"At first, you were the only one who guarded the master until the master died. Now, the five of us are together again, and although sometimes we have disagreements and a hard fight against demons, the brothers are united in their efforts. The five of us are together, and there are really no demons and monsters that can't be defeated! As he spoke, a smile spread across Xu Chengcheng's face.
"Before his death, the master said that the five of us are the strongest people in the five elements, and when we get together, we are invincible beings. When we fought the enemy, we were all in a state of great nervousness, and now I am also weak, you, no more nonsense. Take me to the monster and ask for some herbs to recover. I yawned again, I was really tired after walking so long on the mountain road. After getting the medicine, I want to find a very quiet place to sleep well, although the RV living conditions are good, but it is still too bumpy.
After walking for a while, we suddenly saw several lean men carrying a corpse towards us.
As they walked, they said:
"Three people have died this month, it's so miserable!"
"Look at her death, it's not a human doing, it's not a beast or the monster in the village."
"Really? Was it made by the youkai named Tsuinen in the village? ”
"Needless to say, since the woman who was defiled by the monster returned to our village with the monster son, there has been no peace. Whatever they say, I won't let them go. ”
"But...... What should I do? If you really want to be rude, I'm afraid we're not the opponent of that monster! ”
Listening to this group of people, I became interested, thinking that the earth in their mouth should be the monster who took care of the medicine field, so I walked up to them, stopped them, and asked, "Is the one you just said called earth is the monster who is especially good at cultivating herbs?" ”
The man at the front looked at me and asked, "Who are you, stranger?" ”
"I'm a feng shui onmyoji, specializing in exorcism and demon removal, if it's really monsters that harm people, then I won't sit idly by."
Still, they were very unfriendly, probably because I had a sword in my hand, and they all instinctively took a few steps back.
Xu Chengcheng took a few steps forward and said, "Don't be afraid, we are not bad people, and we won't do anything to you." The two of us are Taoist disciples, from Northern Province, and we are specialized in subduing demons and subduing demons. In addition, my junior brother was not feeling well, and he happened to come to find that monster to get some herbs and recover, so he was looking for a medicine field here. ”
The man replied, "You're looking for herbs, that's right, that you're a monster called Tsuchi-nei, and it's true that it's been growing herbs in the fields." However, that youkai is a pervert who specializes in picking women to kill, and some say that she relies on women's essence blood to irrigate herbs. ”
At this time, a small man came up to us again and said, "The earth we are talking about, it is its mother who called it that, so we called it that." It's just that the people in our village couldn't accept their mother and son, so they coaxed them out of our village and lived on a flat land about a kilometer away from the village. Tu Nian, a big monster, has reclaimed a large piece of land for the cultivation of herbs. However, the herbs in the medicine field are still very effective, and I have to say that this monster is very good at growing herbs. Although, we would occasionally go to them and ask for some herbs. However, this guy is still a monster after all, and he seems to have become bloodthirsty lately. Again, I stumbled upon it sucking its mother's blood in the cabin. ”
Things were almost settled, and I said, "Well, can you come out and take me and my senior brother to Tu Nian to take a trip to Tu Nian to see, if it is really a demon that kills people without blinking." Then the two of us will end it for you, and you don't have to be afraid in the future, don't worry, we will give money. ”
As soon as I heard the money, the little man who answered my words took the initiative to ask for help and led us to the territory of Tu Nian.
It so happened that a behemoth dressed in gray coarse cloth came out of the cabin, and it walked barefoot, and it saw that the big feet had to wear at least 70 size shoes, probably because their feet were too big to wear shoes.
Turning around again, its hateful face was in our eyes.
The mouth was pointed and a little flat, and the nose was almost invisible, but its eyes were large and round, and they were the slit-like vertical pupils that I feared the most, and they were clearly snake eyes.
This monster inherited the human body, but kept the snake's head, and saw that its biological father was a snake demon with a high cultivation.
