Chapter 24: A Perilous Night
Night.
Just when Li Furen was enjoying the touch of the ancient silk bedding, an old man in gray with white hair and thin fell into the courtyard like a wandering spirit.
After seeing the old man's sharp gaze scan the room of Li Furen and the others, he walked straight to Gan Yong's room.
Inside Li Furen's room.
"A rat demon has its eye on you!" The Golden Crow God King said to Li Furen.
Li Furen, who was closing his eyes and enjoying the silky smoothness, opened his eyes when he heard this, and said without reacting: "What? β
"A white-haired rat goblin who practices qi realm transformation." The Golden Crow God King said.
"Practicing Qi Realm Transformation? Forehead...... Isn't the incarnation realm an incarnation? Li Furen was stunned, he thought that the incarnation of the demon clan was the incarnation realm, but now it doesn't seem to be the case.
"Any demon clan will learn to transform the human form method as long as they practice for ten years, this is their way of growth, and it is two concepts from the realm of the incarnation realm of cultivators." The Golden Crow God King explained.
Li Furen was surprised.
"You go ahead and talk about the rat demon." He returned to Shinto.
"This demon is highly poisoned, and every three months it must absorb the man's blood and qi to nourish it to suppress the toxin. Now he has set his sights on Gan Yong. "The Golden Crow God King said.
"How did he find here?" Li Furen was puzzled, he didn't believe that there would be such a coincidence, and the four of them just moved in, and the other party happened to come.
"This demon turned into a white rat during the day and was kept in captivity by Daji, and at night turned into a human form to find a suitable target, and four people have died in his hands." The Golden Crow God King said.
"Don't you tell me that the four guards who died in the Hou Mansion were killed by him?" Li Furen said.
"It was him." The Golden Crow God King said.
Li Furen frowned.
"The four guards were sucked up by the blood and dried up and died, because the death was strange, Su Hu was worried about causing panic, so he made an excuse to tell the outside that they died by accident while on a mission." The Golden Crow God King said.
"Let's not discuss this yet, you tell me how to save Gan Yong!" Li Furen quickly got up and said, after talking for so long, he almost missed a big event.
"The goal of his trip is not only Gan Yong, but also the three of you, before saving people, you'd better think about how to protect yourself." The Golden Crow God King said.
Li Furen was slightly stunned.
"Right now, you can only save yourself by alarming the other people in the mansion!" The Golden Crow God King said.
"What's the alarm?" Li Furen asked.
"Scream!" The Golden Crow God King said.
"Yelling?" Li Furen was puzzled.
"If you hesitate any longer, Gan Yong will become a dry corpse." The Golden Crow God King said.
What else can be said about this, Li Furen hurriedly opened the door and ran out.
"Helpβ"
Ten minutes later.
As hundreds of people filled the courtyard with torches, under the light of the fire, Li Furen, who was in front of everyone, explained to Su Hu in front of him with an embarrassed face under the strange gaze of Jiamu and others: "I saw a black shadow running over the house just now, I was worried that it might be a thief, so I ......."
After looking at the roof where he couldn't see his fingers, Su Hu looked at him and frowned, "Are you sure you saw it on the house?" β
Following his gaze to the pitch-black roof, Li Furen was speechless.
Glancing at him, Su Hu turned his head to a male steward who was in charge of the night patrol and said, "Pay attention to strengthening patrols, no more thefts!" β
"Yes!" The male steward knelt down in response.
"It's all gone, and when you go back, keep your belongings!" Su Hu said to everyone again.
As everyone talked about leaving, under the indescribable gaze of Jia Mu, Gan Yong, and Xiang Pi, Li Furen looked at Gan Yong, who was obviously much paler, and said, "You should thank me!" β
"I thank you?" Gan Yong raised his eyebrows.
Seeing that Jiamu and Xiang Pi were also looking at him strangely, Li Furen said, "Just now I saw a black shadow enter your room through the wall, and I shouted because I was worried that something would happen to you." β
"Huh!" Gan Yong was stunned.
However, Jia Mu and Xiang Pi suddenly frowned and looked at the pale Gan Yong, and their eyes became more and more solemn for a while.
Knowing that the two of them had already seen that the problem was coming, Li Furen said: "After this trouble, no matter what it is, at least I don't dare to come out again tonight." β
"Dad, don't scare me!" Being stared at intently by Jia Mu, Gan Yong shuddered and said.
Ignoring him, Jia Mu looked at Li Furen and said, "When the Hou Ye asked you just now, why didn't you tell the truth?" β
In order not to be panicked, Su Hu even concealed the cause of death of the four right-hand guards, and he said such bizarre things in front of everyone, why did he expect the other party to believe him? Li Furen shook his head and casually found a reason and said: "I don't see what that thing is, I don't know how to say it." β
Looking at his son Gan Yong's complexion, Jia Mu, who had traveled south and north, naturally understood that the thing was either a demon or a monster, and he looked at Gan Yong and fell into deep thought.
"There is no one else in this courtyard, so I suggest that we live in the same room." Li Furen said.
"I agree." Xiang Pi was the first to say that the person who came could attack Gan Yong without finding out until now, he already understood that it was not something he could deal with, and knew that only holding a group was the safest now.
"I don't understand what you're talking about!" Gan Yong said helplessly.
"You just remember to owe Pharmacist Li a big favor!" Kogi glared at him.
"Village chief, you decide for yourself whether you want to tell Marquis Su about this matter, as for me personally, I think there must be something harmful hidden in the mansion." Li Furen said.
"This matter is related to the safety of Hou Ye, don't worry, I will report to Hou Ye tomorrow!" Jiamu said.
Li Furen nodded.
"From what you think it will be?" Kogi asked.
"Looks like it's a youkai." Li Furen said, he didn't want to say it too clearly and be treated as an outlier.
Since he saw it with his own eyes, that's probably it, Jiamu's jaw.
After a while, in the room, Li Furen let Jia Mu sleep on the bed, and he and Gan Yong and Xiang Pi made bunks on the floor, and as time went by, after the three of them fell asleep, he said to the Golden Crow God King: "His goal is the four of us, can we live together like this?" β
"He chose you as his target because there are only four of you in this small courtyard and you all live separately, and after knowing that the four of you are more vigilant overnight, he probably won't risk attacking you again." The Golden Crow God King said.
"Since he is practicing Qi Realm, can he know Dao Techniques?" Li Furen asked.
"This demon is gifted with supernatural powers for the ability to attach wood, and the Dao Technique will resist the wind." The Golden Crow God King said.
"The ability to attach trees means that you can attach yourself to trees?" Li Furen was puzzled.
"Not bad!" The Golden Crow God King said.
"What about the Wind Resistant?" Li Furen asked.
"Fly against the wind." The Golden Crow God King said.
"Wind resistance is just flying?" Li Furen was surprised.
"Of all the Dao Techniques, only the Wind Resisting Technique, the Sword Resisting Technique, and the Cloud Soaring Technique can fly, and there are still many cultivators who want to fly the Dao Technique but can't." The Golden Crow God King said.
"Isn't flying a monk's basic ability?" Li Furen was stunned.
"Nothing is basic, it's never just chance." The Golden Crow God King said.
Thinking of the scene in the TV series where cultivating immortals is basically a scene where everyone can fly, Li Furen laughed and said: "TV series hurt people. β
