Chapter 5: Pretending to be a god

The hot tea was muttered in his mouth for a long time, but he didn't spit it out, and swallowed it with tears.

Xi Yin called her "stupid", poured cold water while wiping her tears, and said hurriedly while breaking Qi Yuan's face: "If you are hot, you will vomit, open your mouth and let me see, is it time to bubble, look at this tongue, you can't eat good things for seven or eight days." ”

Qi Yuan, who didn't feel anything, suddenly felt a little aggrieved, and was forcibly poured two or three glasses of cold water. In fact, this little injury will be fine for a while, but looking at Xiyin's appearance, I can't bear to let her worry in vain, so I have to pretend to be in pain, which is quite hard.

There were loud noises on the street, from far and near, and Qi Yuan remembered all the things he saw when he first entered the town, and he always felt that something was wrong. He asked, "How much do you know about this town?" ”

Xiyin said: "I also just arrived. But speaking of which, I overheard something yesterday. Said that there have been monsters in this town recently, and the high priest of the Heavenly Clan took a few strong men to catch a demon in Sifeng Mountain, and today he was about to cook in public to comfort the ancestors. ”

This is a rare occurrence in a hundred years. Qi Yuan said again: "Do you know what kind of demon it is, what kind of evil it has done?"

Xi Yin thought for a while and said, "I was also eavesdropping, and I only vaguely heard that there were drowned people, and I didn't know anything else." ”

Qi Kite turned around, and the noise grew louder and louder, and it was the townspeople cheering in the street. Qi Yuan opened the window a crack, and saw that the street outside was crowded with people, everyone could see that they were well-dressed, regardless of men, women, and children, with a bright red flower pinned to their hair buns or ears. The crowd marched forward in hugging a wagon carrying a large iron cage covered with a black cloth.

Qi Kite's spell blew a gust of wind, and the black cloth lifted a corner, showing that the back of the demon in the cage had not been beaten back to its original shape.

"It shouldn't be. Qi Yuan muttered.

Xi Yin hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Qi Yuan said: "You don't know, the demon clan needs a lot of spirit elements to maintain its human form, this little demon will not be beaten back to its original form, how can it be locked in a cage by these people?"

Xi Yin looked again, grabbed Qi Kite's sleeve and said, "Look what that monster is wrapped around!"

Looking closely, sure enough, a streamer flashed from the little demon's body, this light looks soft and beautiful in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of the demon clan, it is a lethal weapon.

Binding Rope.

As the name suggests, the most powerful demon clan can't escape the shackles of the demon rope, and the most terrible thing is that this demon rope can absorb the spirit element of the demon clan. This was originally researched and produced by the Xiuxian family, but later Qi Kite's mother felt that it was not conducive to maintaining the fairness of the Six Realms, so she had strictly banned it.

Now......

Qi Yuan knew it in his heart, closed the window, and looked up to see a portrait of a god enshrined on the north side of the room, which painted a goddess, with a face like a peach blossom, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, and the corners of her mouth raised, looking approachable, without the arrogance of ordinary fairies. Wearing a colorful robe, but wearing a snow-white cloak, the flowing skirt was surrounded by a hundred flowers, and there were several attendants around, each holding a flower basket, flying forward.

Qi Yuan could see the gods, and Xiyin came over and said: "This is the god of flowers, it is rumored that the town was favored by the god of flowers thousands of years ago, and since then it has made a living by selling flowers and making incense." ”

Qi Yuan looked at Xi Yin, then at the portrait, suddenly smiled, and said, "Xi Yin, do you think that your eyebrows and eyes are very similar to this Hundred Flowers God." ”

"Huh?"

"I have a plan. ”

"Ah???h

The noise outside the window turned into cheers, and the people lifted the black cloth, only to see a young man in white sitting in the cage, who had not seen the light for a long time, and was so panicked by the sudden sunlight that he turned his head to the side, and no one saw the word "king" flashing on his forehead.

It's a tiger demon!

"Quiet, quiet!" a man in a black robe and an exaggerated mask slowly walked out of the crowd, the black robe was embroidered with multicolored gold thread with a hundred flower patterns, and he passed by the tiger demon and walked onto a high wooden platform.

With a wave of his sleeves, several big men came over with a cauldron and began to build a pot to make a fire.

The cauldron was filled with oil, and it looked like it was going to fry the tiger demon alive.

It will take a long time for the oil to be hot, and the black-robed man began to mumble on the high platform, trembling from time to time, everyone felt that they were in a daze, and they knelt down one after another, but in Qi Yuan's eyes, it was a neurosis.

Finally, the oil in the pot began to bubble, and the black-robed man waved his sleeves and said loudly: "All believers, this demon is a disaster to the world, and it harms the names of thirty-one people in Wanxi Town. The god of flowers took pity on me and ordered us to set up an altar at this time, summoning this demon soul to hell and suffering the punishment of no return. The meat we eat can be eternally Chang'an!"

"Eternal Chang'an, eternal Chang'an......"

Everyone shouted and kowtowed, and suddenly a thick fog rose all around, and a fragrance richer than the fog hit from above, and everyone was dizzy for a while, and when the consciousness was clear, the fog dissipated, and a Yingying woman stood on top of the iron cage.

The woman was dressed in a colorful dress and a snow-white cloak behind her, and when the sun shined, she could see a hundred flowers and willow eyebrows and almond eyes, just like the woman in the portrait.

Everyone was stunned, and finally someone tried to say: "The god of flowers?"

This call woke up the others, and everyone kowtowed: "See the God of Flowers." ”

The "Hundred Flowers God" ignored it, waved his wide sleeves, and saw the demon rope on the tiger demon's body in his hand, and was about to open the iron cage, but he heard the black robe shouting behind him: "No!"

The "Hundred Flowers God" turned around, with an angry face: "Huh?"

The black robe said: "This monster has harmed the world and killed dozens of people, and the gods should be the masters of the people of Wanxi Town!"

"Yes, God will be the Lord for us!"

Behind him, all the people shouted in unison, and the "God of Flowers" waved his hand, only to hear her say: "You have been worshiped for a thousand years, and I should be the master for you." It's just that it's not this tiger demon who harms people, let him go today, and I will definitely find out the real culprit. ”

The townspeople all kowtowed in thanks, and suddenly heard the black robe shouting: "Don't listen to her! The one who kills is the tiger demon, she, she is fake, she is with this tiger demon!"

As soon as these words came out, Qi Yuan's heart couldn't help but tighten. She was watching in the inn room at this time, and the so-called "Hundred Flowers God" was Xi Yin's pretense. In order to do a full set of plays, Qi Yuan fed Xiyin a Qingshen Pill, which could make her have some divine power for the time being, but ......

Knowing this moment for a while, Xi Yin looks like a little girl who has been oppressed for a long time, and this sudden questioning, I don't know if she can withstand it.

I was worried in my heart, but I heard a loud noise outside, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be a black robe, and he was rolled aside by a long white silk, and the person who controlled the white silk was Xi Yin, "Who is the devil to confuse the public, and I have to see your true face before judging." ”

After saying that, he flicked it again, and the exaggerated mask on the black robe's face finally cracked and fell down, even if he was in a hurry to block it with his hand, people also saw that tattered face, that weird and hideous face, the flesh on the face had rotted, and even the right half of the body showed a piece of white bone.

This man is dead!

There was a sudden noise in the crowd, and a short man stood up and said in surprise: "Little third son, are you the little third son?"

"What? Da Liu, are you crazy? Didn't the third son die three years ago?"

"Yes, Da Liu, don't scare me, the third son is dead. ”

In the confusion of everyone, the man named Da Liu took two steps forward, and the black robe also took two steps back, and finally, Da Liu said with certainty: "It's you, little third son, you're not dead?"

"He's dead," Xi Yin said slowly, "It's just that the soul is imprisoned in the body and can't come out, so that's why you must catch this tiger demon, right? ”

The black robe said: "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand!"

Xi Yin sneered: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, dead people don't need to know too much." ”

After saying that, he waved his sleeves again, and actually rolled up the black robe and threw it into the hot oil pot.

The smell coming from the oil pot was disgusting, and people watched their former acquaintances struggle and scream in the oil pot, and the remnants of the soul could only watch the flesh they were staying on because they could not get out of the body, and there was no scum left of the flesh they were staying on.

A few timid women fainted, and someone in the crowd began to whisper, but heard Xi Yin speak again: "What are you afraid of, didn't you just blow up this little demon? All things are equal, this is a warning to you." ”

Some people reacted, kowtowed and confessed, Xi Yin said in his heart that this townsman was too easy to fool, and while signaling to Qi Yuan in the inn, Qi Yuan was relieved, took off a palm-sized jade gourd from his waist, chanted a spell, and a wisp of green smoke invisible to mortals floated in.

Putting away the jade gourd, a chuckle came from behind him: "You have learned the essence of this skill of pretending to be a ghost." ”

Qi Yuan turned his head and saw Zhan Yan standing behind him at some point, and said, "Are you awake?"

Zhanyan stretched out his arm and moved twice: "It's all right, thanks to you, I knew that you had such great ability, so I wouldn't take this risk." Then he looked out the window, "You don't need us to worry about it. ”

Qi Yuan sneered: "You don't need to worry about it in the first place. ”

There was a fog outside the window again, this was the method that Qi Yuan thought of, borrowing the clouds and mist of Sifeng Mountain to pretend to be a ghost. Xi Yin took advantage of the fog to release the tiger demon, and was about to leave, but heard footsteps hurrying from outside Wanxi Town.
