Chapter 71: The Weasel Spirit in the Forest
"Ge'er, what's wrong?" Lai Changsheng saw that his apprentice was standing motionless in place, and couldn't help but ask curiously, and then got up and walked to Li Ge's side and followed his gaze.
Hearing Master's voice, Li Ge withdrew his gaze from looking at the figure by the river, turned his head and whispered to Lai Laodao beside him, "Master, do you say it's a human or a ......?"
"It should be a demon, a demon in shapeshift. Lai Laodao's face sank, and after quietly replying to the apprentice, he took a step forward with his back on his back.
"Demon: a demon cultivated in human form. I've seen many ghosts and zombies, but this is the first time I've seen a shapeshifting demon today. Li Ge muttered to himself in his heart, and looked at the figure hidden in the darkness next to the old tree by the river, it looked unusually short, less than one meter and five,
"My master and apprentice passed by here, stayed here for a night, and tomorrow will leave, if it disturbs you, I hope you don't want to be surprised. Lai Laodao stared at the figure for a while, and then took a step forward.
"Hahaha~" The black shadow next to the tree let out a series of cold laughter when she heard this, this voice revealed a sense of old age, like a woman's voice, after the laughter stopped, she said, "The old body has the best human blood in this life, and now you are automatically sent to the door, how can I let you go?"
After the black shadow's words fell, she took a few steps forward, and the faint light of the fire immediately reflected her body in the eyes of the master and apprentice. She was an old woman in her fifties and sixties, dressed in a black shirt, with her hands behind her back. Except for a protruding mouth with yellow hair about three inches, the facial features on the face are no different from ordinary people.
The moment he saw the full picture of the old woman in black, Li Ge subconsciously took a step back. And Lai Laodao, who was standing beside him, secretly recited a few incantations with a solemn face, and then pressed a finger on his eyebrows, and immediately a faint white light shone around his body.
"Aren't you ordinary people?" the old woman in black took a few steps forward, glanced at the master and apprentice, and was about to rush forward. But suddenly he saw a white light flashing around the old Taoist priest, so he had to stop.
"Ge'er, what do you think that monster's mouth looks like?" Lai Laodao did not respond to the words of the old woman in black, but turned his head and asked the apprentice with a smile.
"Master, I think her mouth looks like a weasel mouth that likes to steal chickens. Li Ge stared at the old woman carefully again, and replied uncertainly.
"Yes, it should be. Step aside and see how the teacher cleans up this little monster. Lai Laodao took another step forward for the third time, and at this time the distance between him and the old woman was only five zhang away, "Little beast, the shape is not good, dare to come out and shout?"
"Old thing, you're looking for death. When the old woman heard this, she shouted violently, then turned around, bent down violently, and a yellow mist emerged from behind her strands, and after the yellow mist appeared, a one-person-high tornado was formed, which blew straight towards Lai Laodao.
"Ge'er, flash aside. Seeing the small tornado formed by the condensation of the yellow mist, Lai Laodao explained to his apprentice, quickly took out a green vial from his side, poured out a pill from it and put it in his mouth.
As soon as the pill was entered, the yellow mist came and wrapped Lai Changsheng in it. Lai Laodao shook his head with a disgusted expression, and scolded, "The fart of you beasts is really famous in the world, damn it, Lao Tzu has lived for so long, and he has never smelled such a stinky fart." ”
When he was scolding, Lai Laodao reached out and took out a talisman from the Qiankun bag on his side. As soon as the scolding stopped, his face suddenly returned to calm, and he threw the talisman to the sky with the talisman sacrificial formula, and then when he withdrew his hand, he held the trick in front of him and silently performed a spell.
The yellow tornado condensed around Lai Lao Dao for three breaths and then gradually dispersed, and the weasel saw that Lai Lao Dao seemed to be fine, and still stood in place and performed a spell at the corner of his mouth. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he stretched out his hands and grabbed the old Taoist priest.
"Be careful, Master!" As soon as he walked away, Li Ge, who was standing firmly on the side, saw this and shouted anxiously, just as he was about to move. Lai Laodao's pinching hand pointed sharply at the old woman who was attacking him. Immediately, a tornado of white mist appeared out of thin air in front of his finger.
This tornado was about a foot high, and after it appeared, it directly swept the old woman in black into it and blew it into the river not far away.
The tornado formed by the white mist drifted to the middle of the river and dissipated, and the black-clothed old woman in the tornado fell into the river, rowing and struggling on the water. The weasel actually knows how to swim, but at this time, the old woman has just been blown dizzy by the tornado of Lai Laodao, so after falling into the water at this time, her head is dizzy, and she can't figure out the direction at all.
After the old woman fell into the water, Lai Laodao followed him to the river. Seeing this, Li Ge ran to Master's side and asked, "Master, how are you going to clean her up?"
"Tell me, Ge'er, kill her, or let her go. Lai Laodao responded to his apprentice's words loudly at the river.
"Master, I know that I am wrong, please read for the sake of my penance for many years, let me go this time. The old woman who was gradually sobering up in the river heard the words and pleaded. From the technique that the old Taoist practiced in Shicailai, she had no doubt that the old Taoist priest on the bank of the river had the ability to kill herself.
From Master's answer, Li Ge heard Master's intentions, and immediately responded loudly, "Master, it's not easy for people to practice, so you can let her go this time." ”
"Alright, I'll let her go. Lai Laodao looked at his apprentice Lai Pi and smiled, and shouted to the old woman struggling in the river, "Come up, I have something to ask you." ”
"Okay Master. The old woman in the river replied gratefully, and then pulled her body and swam towards the river. After the old woman came ashore, her body shook and turned into a weasel more than two feet long and yellow-haired. It shook its body violently a few times, shook the water stains on its body to the ground, and said, "Thank you Master for not killing this grace, if you have anything to ask, if I know, I will tell the truth." ”
"Okay~" Lai Laodao smiled slightly, walked to the fire with his back hand and sat down, and asked the weasel who was sitting in front of him, "Do you know Shuanghuai Lake?"
"Shuanghuai Lake?, is the old man asking about the lake sixty miles away?" the weasel scratched his head as he lay on the edge of a rock beside the fire.
"Yes, I'm asking about the lake, do you know the secret of the lake?" Lai Laodao asked with a smile on his face.
"I don't know the secret, I don't go to the lake very often, but I know that more than ten years ago, the lake was taken over by a water dragon. ”
"Shui Jiao, could it be that what Master said is related to the Shui Jiao in the lake?" Lai Laodao muttered to himself, and after being silent for a long time, he said to the weasel, "You go, don't be evil in the future, stay in this mountain and practice hard, and after it is successfully transformed into a day, go to the world to make more merits, and you can settle down as an earth immortal." ”
"Thank you, Master, the little demon has retired. The weasel lying on the edge of the stone got up and nodded to Lai Laodao, and the yellow figure burrowed into the dark woods.
