Chapter 37: Monster Hunting "Bait"

Xuan Yi took the demon sword and rushed out of the crowd with Xuantian. In an instant, dozens of words and magic weapons came at the same time, and the five elements aura that surged in the field interfered with each other, and suddenly exploded, blowing out gold, white, black, green, yellow, and red colors, causing a strong wind to blow down the people on all sides, and the magic weapons collided and knocked down a group of Taoist priests. Ding ding clang, half of the street people fell to the ground and rolled, oops, all over the ground, the flowers and trees on the wall also swayed, and the two children were so frightened that they squatted down and covered their heads and did not dare to move.

When the turmoil stopped, Xuan opened his eyes and saw that the Taoist priests had fallen to the ground, and the people had fallen half a street. Lede laughed: "Haha, let you beat me." God opened his eyes, you half-spells have knocked down all your own people, and you are very happy. ”

The Taoist stood behind her, swept the dust lightly, and said with a smile: "Where is God opening his eyes." If it weren't for the master who came to the rescue, you would inevitably have broken your muscles and bones. Xuan Yi turned around and hugged the Taoist and smiled: "Master, these Taoist priests are rude and hateful, help me teach them a lesson." "I ought to teach you that you are always disobedient. You didn't notice just now, there was a constant flow of people on the street, but not a single child dared to run around like this. "Master, it turns out that you knew that there was something strange, but you didn't say it earlier, and you deliberately watched us suffer." Xuanyi pushed the master away and pretended to be annoyed. "If you do something wrong, you can quibble, you have really grown up." "Who made me your apprentice, this verbal kung fu is in the same vein!"

The Taoist priests and the people got up from the ground, shook their sleeves one by one and dusted off the dirt on their bodies, and all of them hurriedly gathered around.

Xuanyi and Xuantian hurriedly hid behind the Taoist, and the Taoist bowed: "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, you are polite." I don't know where the little apprentice was offended, so the teacher mobilized the crowd to arrest him? "The Taoist priests saw that the Taoist was no more than twenty years old, and his clothes were torn, so he did not have a good face. Kicking his nose and raising his hand, he rushed to speak with a strong momentum, and he couldn't hear clearly in a mess. Among the people, an old man in his seventies, with white robes and hair, and strong spirits, hurriedly stepped forward, stopped the Taoist priests and shouted: "Don't make any noise, the old man Qingfeng Town Chief will talk to this little Taoist priest." ”

The Taoist priests stopped arguing, and the earth elder arched his hand and said, "Little Daoist, don't be afraid, just now we made the three of you frightened by your abruptness. I don't know where the three came from? What's the matter with me coming to Qingfeng Town? The Taoist returned the salute: "You Fang scattered the road and passed by the treasure land." I wonder why children are being caught here? ”

The old man sighed: "I don't know if the little road is long, our Qingfeng Town is a blessed land in the world, since the town was built a hundred years ago, the wind and rain are smooth every year, the family is harmonious and happy, there is no worry about eating and drinking, and there is no evil and no wonder." It's just that recently, for some reason, the children in the town disappeared one after another, and all disappeared in a few days. We had to look around for the high road to catch the demon, as long as anyone can catch the demon, the reward is 10,000 taels of silver. You have come a lot one after another, and have invited the spirit god, found feng shui, and laid out a magic circle, and used hundreds of Taoist methods, but the demon never appeared. The high Daoists are discussing, and there is still a lack of bait to attract demons, and I don't want your master and apprentice to collide with you. As soon as everyone was in a hurry, they didn't care about arresting your two little apprentices. ”

Xuan Yi pinched his waist and laughed, pointing at the other party and mocking: "I said old man, you are too stupid." This group of Taoist priests had a golden light in their eyes and oily faces, all of them were lazy and lazy, greedy for money and profit. This vulgar person is cheesy, and the Taoism is naturally vulgar and smelly, and the monster will be smoked away if it smells, of course it doesn't work. Count your town feng shui as good, and you met my master today. With my master here, even the 10,000-year-old demon will help you catch it. ”

The Taoist priests were annoyed by the scolding, and they all pinched their waists and glared, pointing and shouting.

The old man advised everyone to be quiet, and then bowed his hand to the Taoist: "It turns out that the little Taoist also has the ability to catch demons, so it is better to join together, and then you will also have a share of the credit." It's just that the Taoist still needs to borrow two children to help lure the demon out. "Bah, we're not going to do this bad thing. Let's be bait to feed the monsters, it's not a parent, why! Xuan Yi was unceremonious and angrily refused.

The old man cried and begged the Taoist: "The Taoist master must agree, whether my children can be rescued depends on you two children." If you agree to borrow the baby, my town is willing to give the Taoist chief a reward of 1,000 taels of silver. Please don't excuse yourself. ”

Before the Qingtian Taoist priest could respond, the Taoist priests couldn't hold back their annoyance. In front of him, a nine-foot-tall old man in a yellow brocade robe, with a gray and white mustache, and a carved dragon ancient peach wood sword in his hand, pointed angrily and shouted: "You little Taoist, don't be too greedy." I will only lend you a child for use, and I will give you a thousand taels of silver, and you will not be able to ask for such a good thing in your dreams. I waited for the masters to work hard to subdue the demon, and only after catching the demon did I get 10,000 taels of silver, you should also be content. If you want to refuse, we will just grab it! On the left, a fat and fat, middle-aged Taoist in purple clothes carried a broad iron sword, and said with contempt: "Yes, cultivators should take it as their responsibility to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, and they should protect the peace of the party." The little Taoist priest saw that you were so poor, presumably because he didn't accumulate good fortune on weekdays, and even the Taoist ancestor didn't protect you. Hurry up and hand over the child to accumulate some merits. ”

Everyone left and right, pointing and pointing, and the one who did not allow the Taoist to speak scolded him for a bloody squirt.

The Taoist was still calm, and said with his palms together: "If you can save people, you should borrow a boy for your own use, and I don't want you a penny." ”

Hearing this promise, the Taoist priests stopped scolding.

Xuanyi hurriedly pulled the master's clothes, and said angrily: "Master, you have to be a good person, why do you bother us to feed the monsters." These stinky Taoists don't have any good people, so I don't want to help them. The Taoist lowered his head and smiled: "Xuanyi, if you agree, they will naturally eat and drink well and serve you." You can't miss this kind of good thing. Xuanyi's eyes lit up, and he changed his words and said, "Hehe, the master still understands me!" Ahem, as the apprentices of Taoist priests, we should save the suffering. This saving people is also merit, so I reluctantly agreed. But you have to feed us three tables of food so that we can be satisfied. ”

"Good! Okay, three tables of food, no problem! ”

Seeing that the master and apprentice agreed, the Taoist priests immediately rushed up to grab people, these few grabbed Xuanyi, and those hugged Xuantian, and protected the two of them as golden pimples, and no one let go. The chief of the land was anxious to mediate again, and shouted: "Don't fight, don't fight, otherwise you will delay the big thing, and no one will be able to catch the monster." It is up to me to decide who this child is, and you should not rob it again. ”

Then the crowd stopped. The eight-character beard Lao Dao, twisted his beard and looked at the ground, and said proudly: "I am the Yellow Dragon Daoist of the Two Mountains of the Heavens, and I have been subduing demons and eliminating demons for 50 years, and I have also caught a lot of demons and demons for thousands of years. If you believe in me, you will be able to catch demons and save people. "Listening to the old Taoist boasting, other Taoist priests are not far behind, all of them shouted out of the mountain gate, this said to worship the ancestor of the immeasurable mountain, what to learn the Vajra Divine Law, and that said what is the true legend of the earth immortals, can pass through the ghosts and gods. What else is the dragon head mountain view, the iron rake view of the old road, the water dragon view, the golden wind view and so on, each has a good ability to fly into the sky, catch ghosts and subdue demons......

All the Taoist priests were gossiping, and the old chief of the land dealt with it with a dry mouth, and waved his hand and shouted: "Everyone, everyone, I know that you are all masters with mana, and the old man is not biased towards anyone, and he will give you a chance." Please enter the main hall of the inn and sit down to discuss what to do. As for the little baby, how about it being shared by you? ”

Another Taoist priest squinted and asked, "Shared?" Then who is it who catches the demon, and to whom does the 10,000 taels of silver go? ”

The earth chief wiped the sweat from his forehead: "As long as the one who contributes is silver, as for who the head credit is, it depends on the ability of the Taoist leader." It's better to go to the hall first and tell you about your method of catching demons, and the old man will make a judgment, I think whoever has the best method will use it first. There are not two little babies here, we can choose two plans at the same time, so that the monster hunt is also more certain. ”

Everyone went to the side of the restaurant and the hall to discuss. The three Taoists were also invited to the private room on the second floor of the restaurant and were guarded by more than a dozen big men. Xuanyi was not polite, he really asked for a large table of banquets and Xuantian to eat happily.

"Master, you can eat too. Such a large table of wine and food does not cost a penny. And this meal was earned by the two of us, which can be regarded as an apprentice's filial piety to the master! "Xuanyi has a chicken in his left hand and a pig's trotter in his right hand, gnawing on his face full of oil.

"The master is not hungry. You also eat less, and after eating for a while, you really encounter a monster, and you can't run. ”

"Don't be afraid, if you can't run, I'll roll in a ball! Such a good thing doesn't happen often, and those stupid Taoist priests downstairs are estimated to be noisy for a while, so I have to eat hard with my belly open. I will eat this meal for three days, no, I won't be hungry for five days! Xuanyi smirked.

"My sister is right, I have to eat hard, and I won't be hungry for five days!" Xuantian also laughed.

In the hall downstairs, dozens of Taoist priests quarreled for two hours. What kind of soul snatching array is going to be put in this, what kind of spirit lock trapping magic is going to be made in that, and what kind of soul possession technique, soul detention technique, demon suppression array, immortal punishment array, and please immortal array...... Dozens of tricks, each of which does not give in. The chief of the land was a patient man, mediated on all sides, and finally asked everyone to write down their own methods and vote for the two good ones. As a result of the voting, the Taoist priests were divided into two groups, each taking a child as bait and one as one: Lingsuo Thousands of Miles Pursuit Array; Make one at the other end - the five elements gossip and nine trigrams trapped demon array.

Having made up their minds, the two of them went to the town to find a clearing to set up a formation, and prepared to start hunting demons after dark.

After discussing downstairs, Xuan Yi and Xuan Tian were also so hungry that they lay on their chairs and couldn't move.

"Wow! I'm so full, I feel like I can't starve to death without eating for ten days. Master, what kind of monster do you say is here? Does this monster really eat children, can they, Taoist priests, catch demons? Xuanyi rubbed his round belly, looked back at the Taoist and asked.

"Then what do you say is the most important thing about catching demons?" "The most important? Of course, you must first know the details of the monster and know its magical powers, so that you can set up a way to deal with it. If it's a little ghost who is not powerful, the small spells of ordinary Taoist priests can also be caught. If it is a big demon and a big demon, these Taoist priests can only let it eat a big meal. ”

"Yes, demon recognition is the key to catching demons, these Taoist priests only know that monsters catch children, but they don't know what kind of monster this is, what kind of magic power it has. It is not surprising that he does not know the details to deal with it in vain. But don't worry, that demon won't hurt the child. After a while, they will take you to hunt demons, and you will follow you to count as a chance to exercise. The master now goes out for a walk and takes a look at the feng shui of this place. ”

"Master! Don't go far, we have to rely on you to save us when we are in danger. Oops, I can't stand up after eating. Xuan Yiqiang sat up, turned around and waved his hand, and sat down on the chair again.

The Taoist left the inn and wandered around to enjoy the beautiful scenery. I suddenly saw an old woman on the side of the road, which was out of place with the scenery here. The old woman was covered with abscesses, covered with a torn black cloth on her body, her bare feet were unkempt, she was lying on the ground smoking dry tobacco, and her legs were thin and muddy, like a beggar but very happy. The land was rich and the people were simple, and when she saw that she was pitiful, she threw all over the money, but she ignored it completely, and lay down in the mud by herself. The Taoist stepped forward, and the old woman saw that someone came to spit out a puff of cigarette and sneered: "Yo, you Taoist priest is worse than me, come on, let you beg for food in three points." ”
