Chapter 53: The Drought Fly
Facing Jia Daochang's dumbfounded face, Lu Yezi said: "Dao Ye, I clearly remember, there is a cloud in the book: its name is a long head, three-legged, long-necked, and accustomed to harming people with qi. ”
"No wonder it has such a long neck?" said Jia Daochang, grinning.
"The insect spirit pretends to be a woman and tricks passers-by into eating it. From Dao Ye's point of view, it seems that it has not yet been cultivated and formed, so it cannot completely become a human form. Lu Yezi muttered.
Jia Daochang spat at the woman with disdain, and said, "If you haven't cultivated and formed, you dare to harm people, with such a long neck, who will fall for her?"
Then, the three of them looked at each other in embarrassment for a moment......
"Daoist Lu, now that you know the details of it, how should you deal with it?" Liang Shiming asked first.
"I have just discovered that its lifegate is on the head, but if I can get close to it and pierce its life, I can surrender it. It's just that although it has not been cultivated, I can't venture in, and if I am sprayed by the filthy breath in its mouth, I will definitely not die or be injured. ”
Liang Shiming nodded anxiously, at this time he had an idea, and hurriedly said: "Insects, they must be afraid of fire!"
Jia Daochang hurriedly said: "Yes, yes! Huh...... Where's my lantern?" It was then that he remembered that when he had just fallen to the ground, the lantern had been left under the tree.
At this moment, he didn't have time to be blamed by others, he took out a fire fold from his body again, and said hurriedly: "There is also this!"
As the fire fold in his hand was extinguished, although the woman was also frightened, she still approached step by step, without stopping.
"Can't you keep him on all the time?" Liang Shiming asked.
"How can this fire break keep burning?" Jia Dao said urgently.
At this time, Lu Yezi, who was thinking about it, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "By the way, insects are afraid of salt!"
"Salt?" the two said in unison.
In addition to the Buddha and Taoist exercises, among the folk customs, the common people are accustomed to resisting evil spirits with mutual restraints, and insects are often the most afraid of salt!" Lu Yezi said.
"But, but who can carry salt with them?" Liang Shiming said in frustration.
"I have!"
Jia Daochang's voice was like a life-saving straw, and the two of them turned their eyes to him in unison.
I saw him take out a yellow paper bag from his sleeve and said, "When I ate white meat during the banquet, I saw that the salt powder dipped in it was really fine, so I wrapped some and put it on my body." ”
As if seeing hope, Lu Yezi hurriedly said happily: "Hurry up, hit it! Hit!"
"I, I, I don't dare. Jia Daochang was embarrassed.
"Go quickly, or we'll all die here!" Liang Shiming also urged.
Unable to shirk it, Jia Daochang let go of Lu Yezi, and under the gaze of everyone, he held the paper bag in both hands, trembling and unfolding......
"Be careful!" Liang Shiming suddenly shouted, because at this moment he felt a strong wind blowing.
At this moment, before Jia Daochang could react, the salt had been blown away.
In disappointment, several people looked at each other, and this strong wind was originally a demonic wind performed by the woman agitating her sleeves.
As if she understood the thoughts of several people, the woman's face with a long neck, the big mouth was grinning, laughing wildly, although the sound could not be heard, but it was even more terrifying.
"Bird, look at the good things you have done!" Lu Yezi scolded.
Before he could scold again, he looked at it, and at some point, Jia Daochang had two more yellow paper bags in his hand, and they were timidly handed over.
Afraid of changes, Lu Yezi hurriedly covered the paper bag in Jia Daochang's hand with his long sleeves, grabbed it with his other hand, and threw it at the woman with all his strength without pausing......
The two paper bags hit the woman instantly, during which one of the paper bags fell to the ground before it was opened, and the other fell to the ground after hitting the woman's figure, and the other immediately dispersed, and the salt was also spread all over the woman's body, as if it was poured with hot oil, and the woman instantly curled up on the ground, wailing and screaming, which was terrifying.
Seeing that the woman was already trapped, Jia Daochang hurriedly shouted and asked, "Quick, run?"
At this time, he saw that Lu Yezi was still staring at the woman on the ground, motionless.
"What do you know? It can outrun the insect spirit, and when I run away and recover its vitality, it will run away and chase after it, won't it be troublesome then?"
"What then?" Liang Shiming asked anxiously.
Looking at the woman rolling back and forth on the ground, Lu Yezi clenched his teeth and said viciously: "I originally intended to take advantage of this opportunity to poke its life, but I am afraid that it will not turn out......
If there is a rooster, I can be sure that I will remove it so that it will no longer plague the village!"
Liang Shiming also understood his concerns very well, after all, he had only seen it in the book before, if he rashly approached at this time, he would not be able to kill it with one blow, but would be killed by it. But where to find the rooster right now, isn't it whimsical?
"I, I have!"
The two looked at Jia Daochang with puzzled eyes, only to see him groping behind him, and then took out a ...... from his waist Chicken.
"You coated bird!Where is there still chicken blood available!?" Lu Yezi snatched it after scolding, took a bite hard, and raised his hand to hit Daochang Jia.
At this moment, Liang Shiming saw that the woman on the ground was missing out of thin air, and hurriedly said: "Lu, Lu Daochang!
The two of them were so frightened that they hurriedly looked, and sure enough, there was no trace of the woman on the ground.
"Could it be that you were scared away?" Jia Daochang muttered.
At this time, before his words fell, Liang Shiming felt a sudden heat behind him, and when he looked back, he saw a blue fire burning on his back, as if he had burned something, and then he smelled a scorching stench, and then the flame was extinguished, and it was strange that there was no burning damage on the robe.
At the same time, he heard Jia Daochang howl, and then fell to the ground, and countless small insects were biting on his back.
The little insect has a black body and a red head, densely crawling all over the back of the body, and at this moment it seems to be biting in the partition, and the pain makes him roll back and forth on the ground.
Liang Shiming was about to go up with Lu Yezi to help, but when he saw that Lu Yezi was also panicking at this moment, it turned out that he was also covered with red-headed insects.
But unlike Jia Daochang, Lu Yezi at this time did not feel the slightest pain, as if these red-headed insects were afraid, and only crawled back and forth on his back, nothing more.
didn't have to think about it, Liang Shiming immediately slapped his back with his sleeve, and then he heard Jia Dao screaming again.
The two hurriedly looked over, and saw that the red-headed worm behind Jia Daochang had disappeared at this moment, but he was even more painful, and with a convulsion like a hundred claws, the two were surprised to find that countless red-headed worms actually came out of his chest......
Then, Jia Daochang didn't make any sound.
He's dead!
A big living person who was still alive just now suddenly died tragically in front of him at this moment, which made Liang Shiming suddenly feel dizzy, thanks to Lu Yezi holding him in time and patting him on the shoulder, he got a little better.
"-Puff puff!" Immediately following the sound of succession, the two of them saw countless small insects drilled out of Jia Daochang's chest, which suddenly flew up at this moment, leaving countless small bloody eyes on his chest.
At the same time, the insects behind Lu Yezi also seemed to hear the order, and flew into the air in unison.
Countless insects gathered in mid-air, and then flew back to the place where the woman disappeared like a swarm of locusts, and gradually gathered into a woman. It turned out that countless red-headed insects were actually transformed by women.
The difference is that at this moment, the woman's neck and face are scorched black everywhere, thinking that they are composed of insect corpses burned by the blue fire.
At this time, the woman seemed to be kneeling on the ground in pain even more painfully than when she had just encountered salt, her long neck was twisting back and forth like a giant python, her deformed head was hanging down on her chest, and she was being held by both hands and grinning and wailing.
Such a vivid picture, I saw Liang Shiming's hair standing upside down, and at this time, he peeked at Lu Yezi, but saw that he had changed his timid look, and was staring at the woman on the ground with resolute eyes.
The next moment, his eyes closed slightly, pinched the trick with one hand, and said tightly: "Those who are fighting in the army are all moving forward in array!"
When the woman approached, Lu Yezi did not pause, and immediately took out the big finger of his right hand, bit the fingertip, and chanted the mantra......
After reciting the mantra of 'Ordering the Three Qing Laws to be as urgent as the law', he poked the woman's forehead with a sharp finger.
Under the night, Liang Shiming was surprised to find that at this moment, Lu Yezi's blood-soaked fingertips were glowing with fluorescence, reflecting his extremely resolute face.
Like boiling water dotting snow, Lu Yezi's big finger pressed into the woman's forehead effortlessly......
At the same time, the woman hissed, and in an instant, four hurricanes raged, and the flying sand and rocks hit Lu Yezi in unbearable pain, and he was almost bounced away by the evil wind around the woman several times.
Lu Yezi originally thought that by pressing his big finger into the woman's life, he would be able to subdue her, but who expected that now she would not be able to do so for a long time, and the woman had been struggling with evil methods......
"Hurry, run!" Lu Yezi suddenly turned around and yelled at Liang Shiming.
At this time, Liang Shiming was already stunned by the change in front of him, and when he heard Lu Yezi let him escape, he couldn't help but be surprised.
He thought that Lu Yezi could get rid of it in one fell swoop, but now that he saw that he was powerless.
Under the evil wind, before the fluorescence, Lu Yezi's hairpin fell and diverged, and the big mouth that lacked front teeth kept shouting at himself.
But at this moment, Liang Shiming made up his mind.
Since it is a friend of life and death, how can you steal life and escape!?
Instead, he quickly looked around, and saw that there was a stone in his hand not far away, and he took two steps to copy it in his hand, and without thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and rushed forward......
While running, Liang Shiming felt this situation and this scene, as if he was familiar, and couldn't help but think of the scene in front of Li Dacao's house before, when he and Lu Yezi rushed to the river.
That time, the shouts behind him made him feel like a divine help.
And at this moment, there was not the slightest sound to help the prestige, until he was about to approach, he only heard the sound of the wind in his ears getting louder and louder, and only saw Lu Yezi's expression yelling at him becoming more and more severe, and as for what he was shouting, although he couldn't hear it, he knew it.
He wanted to tell Lu Yezi that he would never run away with his life, but at this moment, there was no time.
After giving Lu Yezi a resolute smile, the next moment, Liang Shiming was full of ferocity, shouted, raised the stone in his hand, and smashed it on the top of the woman's head with all his might......
Unexpectedly, just before the stones fell, the demon wind suddenly stopped!
Then, the woman on the ground was gone, and Lu Yezi also collapsed to the ground.
All this came too suddenly, Liang Shiming was stunned for a long time holding the stone, then threw away the stone in his hand, and hurriedly went to see Lu Yezi, seeing that he was expressionless at the moment, his eyes were closed, and the appearance of his cloak was bleak.
"Daoist Lu, Daoist Lu, wake up, wake up!" Liang Shiming shook and shouted desperately.
After a long time, Lu Yezi coughed a few times and woke up, and said slightly: "No, it's okay." ”
At this time, before Liang Shiming was happy, he saw him raise his eyebrows again, and scolded: "If you don't run, what are you doing here!?"
"I ......" Liang Shiming didn't know what Lu Yezi meant, let alone how to answer.
Lu Yezi shook his head slightly and stopped talking, gathered his hair in a bun, picked up the wooden hairpin from the ground and pinned it to the top of his head, and then stretched out his arm, and said, "Come, let me get up." ”
picked up Lu Yezi, but at this time, Liang Shiming thought of one thing again, that is, Jia Daochang.
At this time, the body of Daochang Jia on the ground had already dissolved, leaving only a scarred Taoist robe.
Lu Yezi thought for a moment, then ordered Liang Shiming to pick up the fire fold and burn the Taoist clothes, and explained that if anyone asked, he said that Daoist Jia had slipped away alone while people were unprepared. Otherwise, it is indispensable to alarm the government and cause trouble.
Although Liang Shiming hated Jia Daochang, he couldn't help but feel sad when he saw him end up like this at this moment. turned to worry about Xiao Daotong in his heart, and he didn't know how he would live alone.
After a while, the two staggered back to the river, and after the two servants of the Qin Mansion on the riverbank saw it from afar, they hurriedly came up to help.
With the lantern of the second servant, Liang Shiming saw at this time that he was embarrassed, and Lu Yezi was no better, but now his spirit was much better, and he put on a high-spirited appearance.
Hearing Lu Yezi say that the water ghost has been eliminated, the second servant is naturally overjoyed, and it is inevitable that he will be able to receive the reward when he goes back.
The crowd returned with triumph and rejoiced to return to the city gate.
When Second Master Qin heard that the water ghost had been eliminated, his face was full of joy, and his joy was self-evident.
After Xiao Daotong learned that his master was lost, he once wanted to go to the river to look for him, but Liang Shiming tried hard to persuade him and comforted him that after dawn, he might come back by himself.
