Chapter 44: The Sheep Monster
The voice of this sheep-headed man who had never spoken was quite clear at this time, and it was a formal and round southern official dialect, Xue Yang couldn't help but look sideways.
"Ordinary people are all trembling when they see my generation, but when they hear the meaning of your words, it seems that they have no fear, I don't know what the two of you are planning?"
Chi Tang realized that the sheep-headed man's eyes were really not as vigilant and cautious as herbivorous livestock, but actually a deep and transparent haze, and when he spoke, his eyes flashed, which was very different from the dirty and greedy eyes of the two wolf-headed and ape-headed people.
So, the sheep-headed man said, "If I tell you what you are trying to do, then I'm so sorry, I just want to prove something." After that, Xue Yang restrained his deliberately pretended weak and lazy expression, and instead looked directly at the sheep-headed man with the same blazing gaze.
"What nonsense are you doing, what can two mortals do? If you're afraid that something is wrong, I'll bite off their hands and feet first, won't I?" the wolf-headed man interrupted the sheep-headed man disappreciatively, and deliberately showed Sensen's fangs, he said this more of a kind of intimidation, he liked to see the mortals in front of him frightened and pale, and couldn't help but tremble.
However, what he said did not attract the attention of the two mortals at all, and their conversation with the sheep-headed man continued.
"Proof what?" Xue Yang's mouth twitched, and a faint smile flickered.
"Prove that you do have the strength to get rid of the bearded king, otherwise, even if you use a trick to bring you to the king, it will still be in vain, and it is better to let me and the two of you ...... It can be regarded as two comrades, let them have a full mouth first, and avoid suffering in the mountains, because the king likes to eat live people one bite at a time, and it hurts. ”
Hearing this, Chi Tang could almost imagine the heart-tearing cries and wails of those poor villagers who were eaten raw by demons, his heart was furious, his fists were clenched, and his knuckles rattled.
But the ape-headed man shouted: "Baihu, what are you talking about?" The wolf-headed man's mind obviously hadn't turned around, and he first agreed: "That's it, let's use it here first." After a while, he was stunned again, "What are you talking about? Get rid of the king?"
Xue Yang's figure suddenly moved, and in a blink of an eye, the rusty sword came out of its sheath, and two green rays quickly passed through the chests of the wolf-headed man and the ape-headed man, and then, Xue Yang's figure returned to his old place, his eyes were still looking directly at the sheep-headed man, but the movement of his hand was to take out the spirit gathering pot from his arms and move in the direction of the wolf-headed man and the ape-headed man.
The wolf-headed and ape-headed people still maintained the appearance of what they had just spoken, but their expressions were frozen and motionless, but soon, their stiff bodies fell to the ground, and there was a bloody hole in their chests, and a few wisps of gray qi floated up and floated towards the spirit gathering pot.
In just an instant, Xue Yang took the lives of the two little demons with his swift and incoherent skills, which can be described as clean and neat.
The sheep-headed man slowly clapped his hands and applauded: "Wonderful, I didn't expect Your Excellency to have such skills, it's really respectable and lamentable." As he spoke, the sheep-headed man's face was changing, and there was a faint circle of white gas around his head and face.
Xue Yang cocked his thumb and compared with Chi Tang beside him: "My senior brother, his divine power is monstrous, and he is far above me, I don't know if our strength is enough to get rid of your bearded king?"
The sheep-headed man shrouded in white qi seemed to be nodding: "If that's the case, how can the bearded king be enough to deal a blow?"
"There is no ordinary goblin who talks as well as you, it seems that you are not an ordinary goblin. What is the purpose of you saying this to us? Now we can say it directly. After Xue Yang took the spirit gathering pot that had absorbed the demon spirit into his arms, he pulled out the rusty sword again, and the tip of the sword appeared green and pointed directly at the sheep-headed man. ...,
The white aura that enveloped his head and face had dissipated, and the appearance of the sheep-headed man had completely changed. With a white face, upright eyebrows and eyes, and a much thinner body, at this moment, it seems that he is an extremely elegant scholar, which is very different from the previous ugly face.
Xue Yang suddenly asked again: "Is this your changed human form, or is it the true form you have refined?"
The white-faced scholar bowed his head and said: "It is my true appearance, but in the mustard mountain, no monster has ever seen my true appearance." ”
"In other words, your cultivation is at least above those little demons, but you have been hiding it deeply. Xue Yang said, but Chi Tang was a little confused, but Xue Yang immediately explained, and Chi Tang suddenly realized.
All living beings become demons, divided into five levels, the first level, that is, the most superficial stage, that is, the living beings are known and spiritual, but it is still difficult to get rid of their true appearance, not a human body. Most of these goblins are spirits of flowers and trees, of course, like the kind of canine that eats the brains of dead people on the battlefield, and even the yellow dog Wufeng also belongs to this kind, but he is a master who grants spiritual power and passes on his spells, which is much more clever than these demons in many places; The physical strength of such monsters is much higher than that of ordinary people, but the intelligence is not too high, and there are some of the nature of beasts, so the cultivation of spells is not strong, and many of the little demons in the cave are like this, although some of them can change their human form, but it is also an indisputable fact that the Xuanli Divine Power has not been perfected, such as the two wolf-headed people and ape-headed people who were just killed by Xue Yang, as well as the donkey monster under the King of the Trick Mountain, The tiger wolf of Chang'an Tiger Wolf Gang, etc., even if these little demons face mortals who have no spiritual power but are armed with blades and are very brave, they will also have to worry about their lives, of course, that is when those martial and brave mortals fight more and less; This kind of monster is also the real main opponent of the Demon Dao, such as the four spirits of Fly Mountain, the cat demon Lingfeng, and the king of Najue Mountain, or even the king of the beard who has not yet met here, and when these monsters show their true faces, it is their violent state of fighting to the death, at this time, the monster spiritual power is more sophisticated, and the shot is more ferocious. Of course, Chi Tang and Xue Yang don't know what to do, that Lingfeng was made by the pioneer of the ghost clan when he rescued Dong Yao in the Luoxia Mountain Mountain Courtyard, that is, after the Lingfeng showed his true appearance, he immediately stabbed the opponent with a violent attitude; 。 Therefore, the three handsome of the Fly Mountain, the three monsters of the water belong to this column; the fifth level, mostly existing in the legend, the monsters at this stage are no longer suitable to call the demons, they have entered the fairyland, and there is no half of the original body of the viviparous oviparity, just maintain the human form, maybe one day they will die of death, then their bodies will also turn into clear air and scatter, and the mind will always exist in the world, but there is no physical body. Perhaps, in Fang Jin's world, only the unfathomable and contemplative Jinping Gongsun Fuying can reach the edge of this realm.
When Xue Yang explained this truth to Chi Tang, the white-faced scholar transformed by the sheep-headed man had been listening quietly, although it was a little strange that a person who was said to have supreme divine power did not even know the superficial knowledge of these demon paths, but the white-faced scholar did not show an impatient expression, only after Xue Yang finished speaking, he smiled and added: "This is also the reason why this benevolent brother said that my cultivation is above those little demons." ”...,
"Then why do you keep using that lower-level face to show the demons?" asked Chi Tang this time.
"Demons are the same as people, if you are different from the vast majority of people around you, do you think it is better to stand out from the crowd?
Chi Tang shook his head: "I don't understand, of course it is the outstanding who is the true meaning of the people, people always have to go to the top, I don't dare to agree with your thoughts." “
The white-faced scholar smiled bitterly: "If you are the only one who has the potential to be the lord of yourself, in fact, I am referring to the bearded king, you are the only demon who poses a threat to his status, what do you think I should use to protect myself?" On the other hand, I will be a thorn in his side, and when I am not absolutely sure of defeating him, I can only be at his mercy, and the final result will be either death at his hands or death at the hands of the enemies he arranged for me...... It's what you call the second level of demons. ”
"Well versed in the golden mean, you're really a clever monster. Xue Yang nodded and smiled.
"The conversation between smart people can be a lot less circle, so I don't think you need to point your sword at me so vigilantly, you know that even if I am a higher-level goblin, I will definitely not be able to escape under your hands, right?" the white-faced scholar bowed politely.
Xue Yang snorted and put away the rusty sword: "I'm used to it, I'm sorry." So let's get down to business and move on to the previous question, what is your real intention?"
"Actually, when you used your spells to perceive this mustard mountain, I had already sensed an unusual spiritual power. But don't worry, the bearded king is sleeping peacefully in the cave, and he doesn't know about your arrival. As for those little demons, they can only smell a breath of vitality, and their cultivation is far from enough. The mustard mountain is far away from the main road, and the people and beasts within a radius of dozens of miles have already been eaten clean by the king of the beard, but if you go to a farther place, it is not his territory, so the king of the beard and the dozens of little demons in the cave have been hungry for a few days, it is my proposal, first come and see what people break into, for me, my main intention is to see what you can do, as for the two little demons who accompanied me, even if it is a head, it is a head to verify your strength. ”
"You have also seen our strength, what do you want?"
"Very good, no surprise, your strength is completely enough to eradicate the bearded king, then I can be your internal response and ensure the success of one blow. My request is very simple, borrow your hands, kill the king of the beard, destroy all the monsters that eat people in this hole, and I will be the lord of the mustard mountain. ”
"Your ambitions are not small. Xue Yang sneered, but Chi Tang felt a little nonsense, after a long time, all kinds of intrigues in the world were staged again in this barren mountain where demons gathered.
The white-faced scholar glanced at Xue Yang Chitang, and clearly knew what they were thinking from the expressions on their faces, and smiled gloomily: "I know your perception of me, don't you think I'm shameless?" To tell you the truth, I am Mu Feng, but I have eaten human flesh, and it is all left over from the tearing of those little demons, and they have not forced me to eat it, they regard me as the same kind as them." As I said before, I can only pretend to be like them in order to survive here, and although I almost vomit while eating human flesh, I can't let them see it, especially under the watchful eye of the bearded king. After removing these scourges, I just want to be a woodcutter in this mustard mountain, and live like a mortal, perhaps, I will marry a woman, and work in the sunrise and rest at sunset, how good is that? Do you know the way? The mountain was originally a verdant ........."...,
The white-faced scholar looked at Gao Shan, and his face clearly showed a trace of pain: "At that time, I once took a fancy to a woman, a very cute girl, she didn't know the way, among the sheep she grazes every day, there is a sheep that is actually known, and that is me. But at that time, I hadn't cultivated to the current realm, so I could only gaze deeply at her every day, until I watched the girl grow up, get married, and have children. I don't care, when I find out that I have cultivated into a real human body, I just want to have a good word with her in my human appearance. But on that day, the demons attacked, and the whole village was swept away by the black wind, and then, there was a terrible massacre...... It was I who killed the woman with my own hands, because I could not bear to see her eaten alive by the queen of the beard, and I made her suffer less, and on that day I knelt down on my knees to the king of the beard, and expressed my willingness to join him, for only in this way I could preserve her body and bury her behind the mountain of Mustard in the name of exclusivity...... Therefore, after you appeared, I knew that the opportunity to kill this bearded king had arrived, and you were the first people to come here in all these years. Get rid of him, I'll lead the way, I just want to be a mortal who cherishes life, and don't be in the company of those insatiable demons. ”
A youkai who just wants to be a mortal, Chi Tang can't help but be moved by his emotions. Xue Yang looked at the woods behind the white-faced scholar, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
There looked nothing strange in the past, but Xue Yang clearly felt a murderous aura, a murderous aura that belonged to human beings.
