Chapter 10: The Demon Monk
Xu Xian turned around to get rid of Li Gongfu's claws, and said suspiciously: "Brother-in-law, aren't you possessed by a ghost, are you?
Li Gongfu grinned and said, "Go, go, how can I talk to my brother-in-law? Aren't I happy? Speaking of which, I have to thank you." ”
"Thank me for what? If you really want to thank me, treat me to a good meal. ”
"Smack"
Li Gongfu slapped Xu Xian's shoulder again, and said with a smile: "You and your brother-in-law have thought of a piece, and you are not too young, just accompany your brother-in-law to have a drink, and I will talk about your sister." ”
"Forget it, I still have something to do today. ”
"You set a date, and then you will inform your brother-in-law that it will be done, right Hanwen, where did you ask for God last time? It's really spiritual, I went to the place you said to search, and I really found the lost official silver, Yang Zhixian was exempted for greedy ink and silver, and now the credit is all my brother-in-law's, hehehe. ”
Without waiting for Xu Xian to speak, Li Gongfu continued: "Hanwen, let me tell you, at that time, I took a dozen fast catchers, killed them quickly, and let the family open the door, and then we went in to search, you didn't see it, that family is very big, but unfortunately there are few people, we searched all over and didn't find it, and then I thought of what you said, that family should not be the murderer, so I asked my brothers to go to a remote place to search, and I really searched in the corner, hey, hey, brother-in-law, I was credited." ”
"Then I'll congratulate my brother-in-law here. Xu Xian gently patted Li Gongfu's shoulder.
Hearing the word congratulations, Li Gongfu was first overjoyed, then frowned, and sighed: "Although it is a good thing to be credited, it is not really a good thing. ”
Hearing the word demon, Xu Xian suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly said, "What kind of demon?
Li Gongfu said with a depressed face: "It looks strange, fierce and vicious, it is too different, if there is, it has been discovered a long time ago, how can we still need to look for it? It should be that I don't like it from above, and deliberately make it difficult for me, alas, Hanwen, this job of catching heads is not easy to do, and I am aggrieved." ”
Xu Xian smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, let me see, and let me increase my knowledge, and see what the demon looks like?"
Li Gongfu's eyes lit up, and he snapped again, and slapped Xu Xian hard.
Xu Xian's mouth grinned, revealing a wry smile and said: "Brother-in-law, can we start lightly, your hands are very heavy, I can't stand it." ”
Li Gongfu slapped again, then smiled, gently patted Xu Xian's shoulder, and said: "Your little body should really practice martial arts, thin as a chicken, by the way, you scholars' hearts and eyes work, give me ideas, this is that portrait, I have found someone to copy dozens of them, and posted them everywhere." ”
Xu Xian opened the arrest paperwork, and the first thing that caught his eye was a portrait sketched with a simple brush, although it was very simple, it exuded a fierce aura, his hair was scattered, his beard was messy, his eyes were round, his pupils were erect, revealing a trace of weirdness, his mouth was big, the teeth inside were pointed, like fangs, and there were three scars on his face, extending from the center of his eyebrows to his chin.
"This kind of image,It's really like a monster.,If someone really sees it.,It will definitely be exposed.,So far, it hasn't been discovered.,It seems that this monster is not simple.。 ”
Xu Xian put aside the portrait and looked at the text on the side.
"The demon monk Wang Jin, killed a pregnant woman, practiced evil skills, was heinous, people and gods were angry, and a reward of 1,000 taels of silver was offered. ”
"Isn't it clearly written on this that it says demon monks? How can it be said to be a demon?" Xu Xian glanced at Li Gongfu on the side.
Li Gongfu said viciously: "This thing kills pregnant women, it is heinous, isn't it a demon? I think this guy is more evil than a demon, but it looks like this, and he hasn't been discovered yet, it's really strange." ”
Xu Xian came to the stone table and sat down, and said, "Brother-in-law, I recently went to the White Crane Temple outside the city, chatted with the master there, and got two books, hehehe, if you can trust it, I will help you find this person, how about it? If you find it, you can give me this thousand taels of silver." ”
Li Gongfu muttered: "What can I do if I don't give it to you? Can I swallow it? If you can really find it, get this thousand taels of silver, and the silver money to open the medicine hall in the future will be enough." ”
"Then you have to eat first, and when you are full of food and drink, we will talk about finding a demon monk. Xu Xian stuffed the arrest document to Li Gongfu and walked towards the kitchen.
"Didn't you say that you had something to do today? Seeing a thousand taels of silver, you can't walk?" Li Gongfu laughed.
Xu Xian pursed his lips disdainfully and said: "Immortals still like to cast golden bodies, what's wrong with me making some money? ”
"You scholars are just able to speak, I can't talk about you, you can promise your brother-in-law, and when we finish eating, we will start to prepare, this monster will not be arrested for a day, I am always unsteady, in case I run to the city, the mess will be big, and I don't want to do it. ”
Li Gongfu followed behind worriedly, this worry is not impossible, Xu Xian now also wants to solve this demon monk quickly, and then go to see the white snake with peace of mind.
Because this time, it should be the night of candles in the cave room.
Xu Xian nodded and said, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, you let people help me go to Qingyutang to inform me, the master of the province is worried." ”
Xu Jiaorong had already prepared breakfast, and after the two sat down, they began to gobble up, looking like a hungry wolf eating.
"You starving ghosts are reincarnated, and if there is no one to rob you, you can't eat slowly. ”
Xu Jiaorong saw the two of them eating, and immediately became angry, slapped the chopsticks on the table, and pointed at the two of them and scolded.
While eating, Li Gongfu said in Ulu Ulu: "What do you know about the Taoist family? We have something very important to do, so don't make a mess on the side, okay? Can't you let us eat a vegetarian meal?"
"Did I say that I won't let you eat vegetarian rice? Then you also have to pay attention to your image? If you choke like this, won't it be troublesome?" Xu Jiaorong was unconvinced.
"Sister, don't talk about it, brother-in-law really has something important to do, I'll go over to help, okay, I'm full, let's go." ”
Xu Xian stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth in a few sips, drank a few mouthfuls of soup, got up and left.
He first went to the room to prepare some things, and carried them on his back, all of which were used for drawing talismans.
Li Gongfu grabbed a steamed bun, ran while eating, and said, "Wait for me." ”
Then he turned to Xu Jiaorong and said, "We may not come back at night, you should be careful at home alone, don't open the door to anyone casually." ”
Without waiting for Xu Jiaorong to speak, Li Gongfu slipped out of the door, leaving Xu Jiaorong to stomp her feet and get angry.
"Brother-in-law, let's go see a few victims first, if we can find a trace of the breath of a demon monk, then it will be easy to do. Xu Xian had already thought about it, as long as the demon monk left a trace of breath, he could find the demon monk with the help of the demon search talisman.
The demon search talisman is a talisman recorded on the talisman treasure strategy, which should be a talisman commonly used by the dustless old Taoist scriptures, and it must be extremely effective.
What he was most worried about was not that he couldn't find it, but that he found it, what to do?
Although he cultivated during the foundation building period, he still built the foundation for the great consummation, but after all, he had never experienced the real fighting method, and he lacked actual combat experience, so he might not be able to beat the other party.
"You come with me, there is a victim in a village not far from the city, I didn't believe it at first, but then I went to visit, it was so miserable, my stomach was directly emptied, and several of my subordinates vomited directly. ”
The two said as they walked, and it didn't take long for the two to reach their destination.
The village is located next to a hill, which is only a few hundred meters high, but the ancient trees on the mountain are towering, the vines are dense, and it is lush, and it is really difficult to find if the demon monk is hidden in the mountain.
"This is the pregnant woman who was killed. ”
Li Gongfu led Xu Xian to a house, and when he saw someone from the government, everyone got out of the way and let the two of them come to the room where the corpse was stored.
Seeing the pregnant woman who was disemboweled, Xu Xian felt a surge in his stomach and almost vomited.
The corpse was so horrible that the intestines flowed all over the place, and they were hastily stuffed into it.
The man's eyes were round, his eyes were full of endless fear, and it seemed that he was extremely frightened at that time, not so much killed by disembowelment, but rather frightened to death.
Xu Xian asked the deceased's family a few questions, learned some information, and already had some guesses in his heart.
"How's it going? Is there a way to find the youkai? I don't want anyone to be killed again, it's too miserable. Li Gongfu said in a low voice.
Xu Xian nodded and said: "Well, I found a hair containing evil qi from this corpse, it should be the demon monk's, with this hair, I have a way to find the demon monk, but we are too few people, I'm afraid we won't be able to get him." ”
Li Gongfu didn't care and said, "What are you afraid of?
Xu Xian said: "This person specializes in killing pregnant women whose fetuses are not formed, and he should use the purple river car to cultivate an extremely powerful and vicious demon Dao method, not to mention you, even the cultivators are not necessarily the opponents of the demon monk." ”
"So powerful, what should I do?" Li Gongfu frowned, not knowing what to do.
Xu Xian thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible, I need time to prepare something, if I can lure that demon monk to the place I have prepared, I can kill him." ”
"He's not our dog, so how can he listen to us?" Li Gongfu said.
Xu Xian smiled and said, "If you don't come, we'll go to him, but you can't come with me, because I'm afraid that my spell will hurt you." ”
Seeing that Li Gongfu didn't believe it, Xu Xian smiled mysteriously, took out the fireball talisman that had been prepared a long time ago, and flicked it out casually.
"Bang"
The wooden bench not far away was instantly enveloped in a ball of fire, and after a dozen breaths, the wooden bench turned into a pile of ash.
"You...... You...... Hanwen, how can you know witchcraft?" Li Gongfu was startled, pointing at Xu Xian and stammering.
"Brother-in-law, this is a Dao spell, what kind of demon art? Besides, all laws are Tao, and demon magic is essentially a Taoist art, and there is no good or evil in the art, it depends on the cultivator's heart, whether it is good or evil. ”
"When did you learn spells? How come I don't know?"
"Didn't I tell you, I have been to the White Crane Temple, and the Guan Bishop there has taught me some means, don't tell anyone, you know it. Xu Xian lowered his voice and instructed.
Li Gongfu nodded hurriedly, his confidence greatly increased, no matter what Xu Xian said, he did it one by one.
