Chapter 752: Demon Hunting (I)
Although there are some directions and ideas for the time being, Shi Yi still needs to consider how to implement them.
However, there may be a place where you need to use Cangxia Temple, so Shi Yi began to turn around... After all, he did not go to the kingdom of Chengxia, the magnificent city known as the holy city.
Changed back to his original appearance, took off his disguise, and tried his best to restrain the aura that he overflowed, so that he became like an ordinary monk, looking weak and tired because of the lack of aura.
Shi Yi walked between the vastness and vastness, measuring the earth with his feet.
There is a lake in the southwest of Cangxia view, from the Xiqi Mountains in the east, to the Cangmang Mountains in the south, this lake is only ten miles longitudinally and horizontally, but it is gratifying to be born, the smoke and waves on the lake are vast, the water vapor is faint, sometimes the wind rolls the frost and the glow, the lake is full of mountains.
Sometimes it is full of silver light, reflecting the starry sky. There are many strange mountains and strange rocks in the lake, although it is a little more dangerous for the boat to walk the water, but it also seems to be heavy and mountainous, and the level is distinct.
In the past, when this place was prosperous, every lantern festival, the lake was always covered with various lanterns, and if you stood on the shore and watched, it was like a blooming Qiong flower in the fairy lake.
Today, these sights are almost a thing of the past, and even this lake is lonely, and many of the surrounding buildings have long been deserted.
The wild grass and reeds overgrown obscured the breath of the past civilization, and everything became wild again.
The mountain rain was abrupt, and Shi Yi carried a large piece of canvas on his head, stepping on the muddy path and running quickly in the rain.
The lake in the rain is even more vast, there is a kind of wildness that can not be seen on weekdays, and the smoke waves in the wind seem to be able to blow away all the troubles, but it also imposes an inexplicable melancholy on others.
Shi Yi came to this lake, of course, not unintentionally.
He needs to come here and wait for a chance.
Sixty miles east of this lake, there was the town of Ping'an, and in that town, I heard that there were demons here.
At the same time, Shi Yi also heard that there was a group of cultivators who formed a temporary demon hunting team and wanted to come here to hunt demons.
This gave Shi Yi more ideas, and the originally vague concept began to take shape.
The rain is mighty, running through the heaven and earth, falling is melancholy, dripping with the mottling of the earth, the desolation of the grass, and the embarrassment and depression of pedestrians.
A swaying house with smoke and fire appeared in front.
Shi Yi looked from a distance, a faint smile appeared on his face, and then quickly stepped forward and raised his hand to knock on the door.
The door was opened by an old man who looked to be over fifty years old, with sparse gray hair wrapped in a square scarf, and a somewhat rickety figure, which should be the reason for the long-term labor.
Shi Yi hurriedly made a joke and said: "Old man, the poor road is a Taoist priest who cultivates in Cangxia Mountain, passing by here, the mountain rain is pressing, can you allow the poor road to enter and avoid the wind and rain?"
The old man watched Shi Yi bow his head, and hurriedly learned to return the salute and said: "Since it is a real person on Cangxia Mountain, it is difficult to invite immortals on weekdays, and the little old man can't ask for it! Please come in! Please come in!"
After speaking, the old man shouted to the inner room again: "Old woman, old woman, there are guests in the house! Go to the kettle to soak the guests' feet in hot water, and prepare some food to warm their stomachs!"
Shi Yi hurriedly said: "Old man, you're welcome!"
The old man was very stubborn and said: "Isn't the Taoist chief disgusted with the little old man's poor family and looks down on the food of this fisherman?"
Shi Yi couldn't shirk it, so he could only nod and say, "Okay! Then it's troublesome for the old man!"
Only then did the old man smile and said, "No trouble! No trouble!"
After a while, the food and hot water came up, Shi Yi immersed his feet in the hot water, and suddenly felt that his body, which was originally a little cold, was much more comfortable, so he ate half a mask and a small bowl of vegetable soup, Shi Yi asked the old man with the topic.
"I don't know what the old man's name is, how can he live alone in this remote place?"
The old man sighed and said: "The old man is golden, and his cheap name will not be in the ears of the honored guest, so you can call me the old man Jin! As for me and my wife living here alone, it is ashamed to say that it is just to avoid paying taxes!"
Shi Yi nodded, and then sighed: "Since ancient times, the harsh government has been fiercer than the tiger, and it is nothing more than that. It's just that I don't know why this place is so desolate? I look at the mountains and veins here, and it should be a place where the flow of people is thriving!"
In the early years, this lake was indeed a good place to go, and there were 34 fishermen like me, but in recent years, there was a water monster in the lake, and no one dared to go into the water to fish, so the lake was deserted.
"Water monster?" Shi Yi said, his eyes lit up, he came here for this goal.
I just don't know where the monks who gathered together to hunt demons are at this time.
Jin Laohan said: "According to some people who came back from the lake alive, this water monster is a black shadow that is 100 meters long, and no one has ever seen anything specifically." I also heard that some high-ranking people went to take it, but there was no follow-up. ”
"Hmm!really?" Shi Yi didn't know what he was thinking, and replied a little carelessly.
With his eyes moving slightly, he found some dilapidated Taoist scriptures and messy debris in the corner of the room, so he inadvertently asked, "The old man also reads Taoist scriptures?"
Jin Laohan said with a smile: "What did the Taoist say, the ancestors of the old Han were all poor families who fished for a living, where did the Taoist come out, some time ago, there were also Taoist masters passing by and left here by the little old man." ”
The water under his feet had gradually become colder, Shi Yi put on his shoes and took the Taoist scripture, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully, revealing a thoughtful expression.
Jin Laohan said: "If the Taoist chief is interested, you might as well take it." Anyway, it's useless to stay with Xiao Lao'er. “
"That's it!" Shi Yi nodded, patted the book on the table with his hand, and fell silent in the small room.
Suddenly, the purple bamboo sword box that was originally on Shi Yi's back buzzed.
"Dao Chief! Long, what is the voice?" Jin Laohan looked at Shi Yi's back with a frightened expression.
Shi Yi didn't answer his words, but faintly blocked the old man behind him, and said with a wary face: "Where is the demon here!
Click!
The wooden roof suddenly cracked, and a large mouth full of sharp teeth bit towards Shi Yi and the old man.
Shi Yi unhurriedly took out a small wooden box from his arms, and then slapped it at the small wooden box.
The wooden box flew up in the air, and a blast of frost shot out of the mouth to drive the huge teeth away.
"Old woman!"
The old man Jin, who was originally hiding behind Shi Yi, let out a miserable scream.
When I looked closely, there was a half-cut corpse nailed to the sharp teeth in that huge mouth, wasn't it the old woman who had just boiled water for Shi Yi to cook?
"What a beast!
As soon as Shi Yi put away the small wooden box and held it with both hands, the purple bamboo sword box behind him turned into purple sword light and pierced towards the giant mouth.
Holding the frightened old man Jin behind his back, he commanded the purple bamboo sword with his right hand to block the attack of the bloody mouth, and the rain washed down the dilapidated roof, making the huge bloody mouth seem to become even more rampant.
"Purple Qi Wind Thunder, Qimen Turning Armor!"
The sword light slowly shuttled through the rain curtain, falling from all directions, stabbing the huge fish body behind the huge mouth like a hedgehog.
