Chapter 691: Youkai
Xue Wushu looked down through the window, and Tang Xuanzang was hanging upside down on a pole more than four zhang high, which should be very painful, after all, hanging upside down on the top of his head, ordinary people can't bear it. But this Xuanzang didn't have any, staring around with his eyes, his expression was particularly nervous. He was also shouting loudly to the people in the water below, telling them to hurry ashore, the water was very dangerous.
But no one listened to Xuanzang's words, and felt that this beggar-like kid was just a liar, and he could believe what he said.
Xue Wushu wanted to laugh, and in his perception, he had already found that danger was approaching. Looking up, about three miles away from the village built on the water, a huge creature of yellow and orange was happily jumping out of the water like a dolphin and swimming rapidly.
That was the demon, a demon that was completely different from what Xue Wushu had seen before.
In the original world, in the world of the White Snake, Xue Wushu has seen many demon clans of all kinds, including animal and plant bodies, all kinds of strange. But there is one thing in common, that is, the origin of these demon clans is through talent and their own efforts from ignorant beasts and plants and trees to cultivate hard, in order to seek transcendence.
But the demon with the beast head and fish body that was happily fluttering in the distance was very different. Or, to put it in this way, this thing should be called a "youkai". Freaks among demons.
The creation of this thing was not like the demon clans that Xue Wushu had seen before, which was cultivated by himself, but by the anger and resentment in his heart. It's magical. Because Xue Wusuan found that the soul body of the monster was actually a human.
After death, even if people are grudging, they should become powerful ghosts, right? How can they turn into demons? Xue Wushu still can't figure out the mystery in this. Obviously there is a dungeon, but it ignores this kind of thing, which is strange enough.
According to the plot that Xue Wushu knew, this beast-headed monster was originally a good person, willing to give, and pure-hearted. One day, I met a child who fell into the water by the river and rescued him, but what I got was not the gratitude of the child's family but a deep misunderstanding, misunderstanding that he was a trafficker who stole children, and called friends to surround him and beat him to death with hatred, and then threw his body into the water.
The corpse entered the water and was devoured by the fish, but the soul was still there, the resentment was monstrous, and he vowed to take revenge, so the resentment exploded and all the fish that devoured his body were fused together, and his soul was possessed, which became what it is today. His mind was full of killing intent, and all the people near the water were the targets of his attacks, and he took pleasure in it.
This kind of brainless monster Xue Wushu who only knows how to kill has no good feelings, and even has an opinion on the dungeon in this direction. Obviously, after death, the souls of the dead are in turmoil, and the slaughter is not counted, and they actually sit idly by, what is the use of such a useless underworld? There is no need for it to exist at all.
After a while, the monster with the head of the beast and the body of the fish got closer, and Tang Xuanzang, who was hanging upside down on the bamboo pole, also found an abnormality, and his eyesight was also good, and he quickly identified that it was definitely not a normal living thing, and it was very likely that it was the monster that was ravaging this village.
"Danger! Run, run!"
But no matter how loud Tang Xuanzang shouted, it was still useless, and the people below were still playing in the water, so they were not jubilant, celebrating their lives back on track, unaware that the killing was imminent.
Xue Wushu is not ready to come forward, but he will make a move, he likes these simple villagers, and he doesn't like the monsters.
As soon as my mind moved, I saw a whirlpool rise on the surface of the water, and a deep chill burst out, which was extremely terrifying. This scene really frightened the villagers in the water, and they hurriedly began to swim to the shore in a panic.
This is Xue Wushu's reminder, make some movement in advance to scare these villagers, and then these people can escape from the water before the monster arrives.
This scene made Xue Wushu laugh, the people below are begging for a living in the water, the speed of swimming is quite impressive, in less than half a minute, everyone, regardless of gender, has come ashore from the water.
Of course, for youkai, it is not only possible to attack in the water, but also to shoot out of the water with three slime-filled tentacles on its body, spanning a distance of about ten zhang and tearing people down.
Of course, Xue Wushu was present, and these people could always escape without danger with the help and command of Tang Xuanzang, who bit the rope and fell down. Unlike the tragedy that should have happened, not a single one in this village has died.
Xue Wushu had already put down his chopsticks. After watching the play for so long, the fish ate three plates, drank a bottle of wine, and the rest of the dishes were already cold, and the fish was not delicious when it was cold, and the fishy smell would come out to destroy the taste, and there was no desire to eat.
I have to say that Tang Xuanzang's brain is indeed smart, and he is extremely bold. I don't know where he got such ability from an ordinary body now, and he actually teamed up with a group of ignorant villagers to get the monster in the water to the shore.
No matter how monsters are, they don't really become stronger by cultivating, and when they leave the water, the ability of this monster will decline exponentially. Who made him a demon by the body of a fish?
Well, the youkai got it. But Tang Xuanzang stopped the villagers who wanted to kill the monster, and sang a children's song to the monster, saying that he wanted to influence the truth, goodness and beauty in the monster's heart.
Isn't this nonsense? People become like this by resentment, and you can sing a song to get rid of it?
"What do you talk about youkai?"
Suddenly, there was a loud shout, and a beautiful figure appeared, grabbing the monster's head was a fat beating, and then took out a canvas full of charms and wrapped it in a slammed face of the monster, and after a burst of mana fluctuations, the monster was sealed into a small puppet the size of a fist.
"What is this?" Tang Xuanzang was dumbfounded, pointing to the fish-shaped puppet that had been sealed and asked the young woman.
"You don't know this? You're also an exorcist? Hehe, this is the monster, sealed in by me, and it will turn into pus and blood after 7749 days. How?"
Tang Xuanzang wanted to open his mouth and ask the beautiful female exorcist to release the monster, but he couldn't say it. He is not stupid, as long as he dares to say this, the villagers around him will be able to gnaw him alive.
Seeing this woman being re-regarded as the savior of the village, Tang Xuanzang, who had just been born and died, was instantly forgotten.
Unwilling. I even said that I was very envious. Tang Xuanzang left the village alone. He was emaciated and looked very low-willed.
Xue Wushu didn't catch up, but came down from the bamboo building. He was going to have a good chat with the real exorcist first.
"Son, have you eaten?" The young man saw Xue Wu with sharp eyes, and hurriedly went up and asked.
"Eaten. It's the cost of food, and I think I'll come here again next time I have the chance. Xue Wushu said with a smile as he took a gold ingot full of five taels and put it in the young man's hand, making everyone around him dumbfounded.
Five taels of gold is equal to five hundred taels of silver, which is enough to buy ten of these villages, and it is actually the price of a meal?
Of course, not only the food money, but also the ticket money that Xue Wushu gave to watch the show, but if he didn't say it, no one could guess.
"Now I'm going back to town, can you give me a ride?"
"Hey, this son, I'm going back to the town too, by the way, let's go together, right?" The female exorcist naturally also saw the ingot of gold, her eyes flashed, and she walked to Xue Wusuan with a smile and said.
