Chapter 16: The Canopy of the God of War (1)
The Taoist priest at the door also kept staring at Sha Wujing and the white-faced scholar, feeling that these two people were very abnormal, and he was thinking in his heart, if he started to make a move, he would have a good chance of winning with one enemy and two enemies? These three people, you look at me, I look at you, the white-faced scholar looks at Sha Wujing like a demon, Sha Wujing looks at the white-faced scholar who is not like a normal person, and the Taoist priest looks at these two people like demons. All three are waiting, on the one hand, to finalize, and on the other hand, to wait for the best time.
It was nearly noon, a pair of young men and women came on the road to the west, two of them were dressed in the Western Regions, and they were in a hurry, the strength of the Tang Empire was the best in the world, Chang'an was the center of the world, and a few foreign people would not attract special attention.
The young man came to the door of the tavern, stopped in front of the Taoist priest's stall, looked back a few times uneasily, and the young man said to the girl: "Di Libeier, this gentleman is a fortune teller, let's do a fortune." ”
The woman named Dilibair nodded, "Okay." It was a Han dialect, and the voice was full of antiquity, and there seemed to be a kind of despair. The Taoist priest handed a bamboo tube filled with sticks to the young man, who took it with both hands and began to shake it. The Taoist priest took the opportunity to take a closer look at the young man and found that although this young man was dressed in the Western Regions, his face was from the Central Plains.
After the young man finished shaking the bamboo tube, the Taoist priest pulled out the top one, his face tightened, and he thought, "Could it be that the demon has something to do with this young man?" The young man was a little nervous when he saw this, and asked, "Daoist, how is it, isn't it good?"
The Taoist priest calmed down his emotions and said to the young man: "This is a sign, but the hexagram shows that there is a great murderer in front of him, and he needs the help of a great nobleman." ”
The girl looked frightened, and said to the young man, "Kou Liang, what should we do? ”
The Taoist priest comforted them: "Don't panic, the hexagram shows that although there is danger, but the noble person is coming, even in front of you, it is already noon, you two go to this shop to eat something and then leave." The Taoist priest persuaded the pair of young men to eat in the store out of kindness, and if there was any accident in this store, he could still help them.
After the pair of young men entered the store, they went to the Taoist priest to clean up the stall, and also entered the store, found a seat on the side, and prepared to eat.
The white-faced scholar asked for another pot of wine, and the speed at which he drank was obviously much faster, because he felt that the demonic aura was getting heavier and heavier, could it be that Tou Tuo was going to do it? The scholar thought like this, his killing intent became stronger and stronger, and he kept drinking one glass after another, and every time he drank a glass of wine, the store seemed to be colder again, and that was the murderous aura exuded by the scholar, and a few customers who were drinking in the store couldn't help but sneeze.
Sha Wujing also felt the boundless murderous aura on the white-faced scholar, and he said in his heart: "This kind of murderous aura must be an ancient giant demon, and it seems to be a bitter battle today." I couldn't help but pick up the Zen stick and put it closer to me.
The Taoist priest first asked for a pot of wine, he used to drink a few glasses before eating, poured into the cup, and after a small sip gently, he took out his sword and put it on the table, because he felt that the wine glass in his hand was cold, this small shop, at this moment, it was inexplicably cold, as if to freeze people's souls, the Taoist priest subconsciously tightened his clothes, at this time it was the turn of spring and summer, this kind of cold was very abnormal, he thought, extremely heavy demonic energy would be like this. A few days ago, he got the news that there were monsters passing by here, because there was something at hand, he was two days late, but it seemed that he still caught up, but if the opponent was the scholar and the head in front of him, he began to wonder if his trip was a little too much.
The white-faced scholar drank faster, looking a little drunk and hazy, he himself was not worried at all, and getting drunk would not affect him to kill, to be precise, killing demons. Sha Wujing stared at the scholar, hoping that he could drink more, and when he was drunk and started, he might be able to relax a little.
But the scholar's mind became more and more sober, his news was very accurate, his good friend and good brother Emperor Zhenwu told him that there were monsters here today, and he came, and his intuition told him that he was going to kill today. At this moment, he had clearly felt that the real demonic energy, or the real monster, was getting closer and closer, and that Toutuo was not a demon.
More than a dozen strong men walked into the tavern, these strong men looked at the store, found the pair of young men and women, and sat down around the two, the girl named Di Libeier was eating, looked up for a moment, and suddenly saw this group of big men, she looked very frightened, she didn't dare to speak, under the table quietly kicked the young man named Kou Liang, two people stood up, wanted to go out, the group of big men saw this, they all stood up, more than a dozen people surrounded the pair of young people in the middle, the window of the small shop was very large, it was open, the Taoist priest saw that there was a group of unknown big men on the street, it seemed to be accomplices with these people in the store, these people, slowly approaching the tavern. The Taoist priest felt that these people were more like demons than Natoutuo and scholars.
The scholar suddenly raised his head and said coldly: "There are monsters!" After speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in the cup. Before the words fell, he had already arrived next to the group of big men, and somehow an extra long sword appeared in his hand, and a sword pierced the body of a big man.
Sha Wujing couldn't help but sigh: "This demon is so fast. He thought that the scholar had begun to kill innocents indiscriminately, so he picked up his Zen staff and rushed at the scholar. However, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, because after the strong man fell to the ground, he actually turned into a gray wolf with bared teeth and grinning, and Sha Wujing suddenly understood that these big men were demons, and this scholar's judgment was actually better than his own.
The monster is clear, then you are welcome, Sha Wujing waved his Zen staff and flattened the head of a big man, and the big man fell to the ground and died, but it was a huge bobcat. There are a lot of monsters, but the Taoist priest breathed a sigh of relief, Toutuo and the scholar turned out to be peers, with such a strong reinforcement, the Taoist priest also increased his courage sharply, he raised his sword and rushed to a monster, three or two times to cut the monster to the ground, it was a weasel.
The monsters were caught off guard, but they didn't expect that there were so many killing stars hidden in the small shop. When they came to their senses, they left the young couple behind and rushed towards the three of them together. While fighting with the monster, Sha Wujing peeked at the white-faced scholar and saw that the white-faced scholar had replaced it with a short axe, cutting a monster into two pieces at once.
The Taoist priest "brushed" a few swords, and cut down a monster, only to find that the white-faced scholar and Sha Wujing were too fast, and the monsters who first entered the small shop had been cleaned up in an instant, and the monsters on the street reacted and began to rush into the tavern, the space in the store was narrow, and the scholar and Sha Wujing rushed out of the store together, slashing at the monsters on the street like chopping vegetables, and the Taoist priest saw this, and also rushed out with them.
