Chapter 446: Monster Tales (Su Jia's Memories)

"What is the strange thing?" Su Jia was curious when she heard this, so she continued to think about Ziqing and Xumen and asked.

Ziqing eased his mind and slowly narrated: "Twenty days ago, Brother Xumen and I were ordered by the head of Fang to go to the bottom of the Divine Peak Cliff to cultivate lotus with Elder Lu...... There are not many people under the cliff of Shenfeng, but there is a woman's house, and a terrifying strange thing has indeed happened in the house-"

"Thriller?" said Su Jia with some incredulity.

"Hmm-" Ziqing nodded and continued, "The woman's name is Yu Xiaojing, and she said that she was a civilian who lived in the swamp area under the Shenfeng Cliff a year ago. But just two years ago, something terrible happened to her family. Her husband, Kim Sang-an, didn't know what to do, and raised a beast that he had never seen before, and within a few months, the beast had grown into a terrible monster that could eat everything. What she can't forget the most is that two years ago, she and her husband's children were also buried in the mouth of a monster...... For this reason, Xiaojing was grief-stricken and left her original residence. However, her husband also lost his voice. She guessed that the monster had eaten her husband too, so she went back to her old place to look for it, only to find that it had been overrun by a hideous-looking long-haired monster who was so evil that he could control the man-eating monster. And Miss Xiaojing has never seen her husband, so she thinks that he has also died in the mouth of the monster, so she is grief-stricken and suffers from a serious illness, which is nearly two years......"

"Monster?" Su Jia asked a little inexplicably when she heard this, "What kind of monster is it, even eating people?"

"That monster is terrible. I met Elder Lu and Brother Xumen twenty years ago......," Ziqing recalled the scene from twenty days ago, and said with palpitations. "The monster is nearly a hundred feet long, and it has ten giant tentacles on its body. With a little force, you can bulldoze a tall jungle tree. Twenty days ago, in order to help Miss Xiaojing, Elder Lu and we went to her original residence to meet with her, but even Elder Lu, the Four Saints of Martial Arts, could not deal with that monster and was almost injured...... As a last resort, we had to leave there for a while and settle down here for the time being, while cultivating lotus. While I have nothing to do, take care of the seriously ill Xiaojing girl......"

"What kind of monster is that, even the master can't ...... it" Su Jia muttered, listening to Ziqing's story, Su Jia said to herself, "Miss Xiaojing is indeed quite pitiful, she lost her husband and children, and her original home was also occupied by a giant monster and long-haired monster." Now I have been seriously ill for two years and am lonely...... No, I've got to find a way to help her......"

Ziqing seems to have something to say. So he continued: "I heard from Miss Xiaojing that she went back to her husband more than once, but that terrible monster was guarding one part of the swamp every day and often attacked the villagers there. Over time, the area around the swamp has become uninhabited...... Somehow, the hairy monster who manipulated the monster seemed to be doing strange things there. Once when Miss Xiaojing went to see her sick. I found that the hairy monster was digging a swamp, and it looked terrifying...... But the good thing is that the swamp is like the monster's home. Without orders from the hairy freaks, it won't go anywhere else. And into that swamp. It's a dangerous place that no one dares to approach......"

Su Jia listened, held her chin and thought to herself: "The reason why the monster didn't leave there is probably because of the swamp, without which it can't survive...... If that hairy monster was digging a swamp day and night, maybe ...... Maybe it's so that the monster can come out one day, and if that happens, more creatures will be trampled by that monster—"

"What, is that really the case?" After listening to Su Jia's analysis, Ziqing was a little worried.

"I'm just guessing, I'm not sure ......," Su Jia replied softly.

"If that's the case, then things won't be good—" Ziqing continued, "No, Elder Lu and we must find a way to stop this long-haired monster who manipulates strange people, not only to help Miss Xiaojing, but also to protect the rest of this place from being trampled on by monsters......"

"However, even Master's martial arts are so powerful, and he can't take that monster, is there really a way now?" Su Jia asked again.

Ziqing shook his head and said a little helplessly: "Hey, I heard that monster is invulnerable, and Elder Lu's Soul Breaking Sword Technique doesn't hurt its fur at all, I'm afraid that no matter how many martial arts masters are here, it doesn't seem like they can subdue him...... Unless, we can find a way to control that long-haired monster, we can stop the monster's actions, and there may be a slight chance of ......"

"But that hairy monster has always been inseparable from that monster, do we really have a solution?" asked Xumen as well.

"That's what I said...... Ziqing was helpless now, so he had to sigh emptyly, "Originally, I just came to cultivate lotus under the cliff of Shenfeng, but I didn't expect to encounter such a strange thing." Elder Lu is kind-hearted and can't bear to ignore this entanglement, now that Miss Xiaojing has suffered from an incurable disease and is about to be critically ill, Elder Lu hopes to help her solve this matter......

Su Jia thought about it, gently closed the book in her hand, and then got up and said, "It's better to be like this, because of me, Master is going to cultivate lotus in Qinghu these days." I'll accompany the two seniors to care about Miss Xiaojing, and help her deal with such things by the way......"

"Miss Su, go ...... Is it really proper?" Ziqing saw that Su Jia Mao recommended herself, and said with some unease, "Even Elder Lu has nothing to do with that monster, Miss Su, your injury has just healed, in case there are three long and two short......"

Su Jia replied confidently: "It's okay, my injury has healed for eight or nine years." How can I say that I am also the only disciple of Lu Qingfeng Lu, one of the Four Saints of Martial Arts, and the heir of the Soul Breaking Sword Technique, now that the master has something to do, who else will go if I don't go? Besides, before jumping off the cliff, I had even experienced the scene of facing Meng Yuanqianjun alone, and I was afraid that a man-eating monster would not succeed? Now I can't get out of the cliff, so I'll just come to help Miss Xiaojing——"

Ziqing and Xumen listened and looked at each other, and then Ziqing continued: "Okay then, we promise Miss Su you...... But I can say it beforehand, if it's not the monster's opponent. But don't fight hard. Brother Xumen and I went to test the monster again, and found that it was still invincible. So they withdrew from the swamp. As long as it leaves the swamp, the monster will not dare to pursue. If Miss Su wants to explore the reality of the monster, she must remember this-"

"Don't worry, I will be ...... myself" Su Jia replied silently, and then withdrew her smile, revealing her previous determined eyes, as if she had decided something in her heart......

An hour later, Su Jia came to Miss Yu Xiaojing's house with Ziqing and Xumen. Her original home was overrun by hairy monsters and monsters, and she now lives in a thatched hut not far from Qinghu. The equipment in the house is rudimentary. Except for daily household use, there is almost nothing, not even candles.

In the house, Yu Xiaojing was lying quietly on the bed. She was seriously ill, so she tried not to get up and move around, and when she saw the two old people Ziqing and Xumen coming, she didn't get up immediately.

"It's the two seniors......" Xiaojing looked sideways and greeted in a haggard voice. Pale countenance, intermittent breath, two years of grief and torment. Miss Xiaojing really lives a hard life.

Su Jia couldn't bear to see it, so she sat next to Xiaojing first, as if she wanted to help Xiaojing heal.

"It's useless, Elder Lu will help Miss Xiaojing treat her illness as soon as he is free these days......" Ziqing sighed slightly. "It's a pity that Miss Xiaojing really has an incurable disease, and no matter what method you do, you can't cure it......"

"You stupid, don't say that here. Miss Xiaojing, she ...... "Xumen listened, and immediately stopped Ziqing's words. Reprimanded softly.

"It's okay, I won't live long anyway......" Xiaojing looked very calm. As if he looked down on life and death, he continued to say in a haggard tone, "When I die, I will be able to see my husband and children...... I just want to know how my husband died before I die, and after the hairy-haired monster and the monster took over my house, my husband was gone......"

Su Jia didn't say anything, she tried to help Xiaojing heal her illness with a qiē method, and even used the internal strength of her cold spirit magic skill to renew her life. However, what I said before is indeed true, Xiaojing is indeed an incurable disease, no matter how Su Jia tries to do it, there is no way to cure the stubborn disease.

"This is ......" Xiaojing looked at Su Jia sitting beside her with weak eyes, and asked in a haggard tone.

Su Jia smiled slightly and said, "Madam, don't panic, I am Su Jia, the disciple of Lu Qingfeng Lu's senior, you can call me Miss Su...... I heard that Master is also doing his best to help you, Madame, and I will also share some of the burden for Madame, Master. Don't worry, ma'am, I'll help you with this—"

Su Jia said confidently, while Ziqing and Xumen were a little nervous on the side. Seeing this, Ziqing said with some worry in his heart: "I'll swear now that I'm really okay, is it really okay?" Even Elder Lu couldn't do anything about that monster before, Miss Su hasn't recovered yet, now if she goes to fight that monster hard......"

"Yes, since I am the apprentice of Senior Lu, then I am relieved......" Xiao Jing smiled at Su Jia, even if her life was dying, Xiao Jing was still very optimistic.

Su Jia thought for a moment and continued: "Although asking such a question may evoke sad memories of you, Madame, I still have to find out what happened two years ago?"

Xiaojing looked at Su Jia, and an intuition and premonition suddenly appeared - the girl in front of her would definitely be able to help her fulfill her long-standing wish. Thinking of this, Xiaojing eased her breath, recalled the past, and said slowly and sadly: "My husband Jin Xiang'an and I were ordinary villagers in the swamp area under the Shenfeng Cliff two years ago. But just two years ago, my husband found out out that he had a strange beast that he had never seen before. The beast had ten tentacles, and it looked terrifying...... At first, we didn't pay much attention to it, but my husband saw that he was pitiful, so he fed it every day. Who knew that the beast was really a monster, and within a month, its body grew wildly and became a terrible beast...... Later, the monster even ate all the crops in the village, and became out of control. Until that day...... Until that day...... Until that day......" Speaking of this, Xiaojing became a little sad with tears.

Su Jia seemed to know what she was going to talk about, and she lowered her head silently.

"Until that day, it ate my only child...... "Crystal continued with tears in her eyes, "My husband tried to get rid of that scourge, but somehow disappeared without a trace. Later, when no one could control the monster, the monster began to attack the villagers, and even many people could not escape it...... Over time, all the people in the village fled, and the original village became a swamp of death without a trace. When I tried to go back to my husband, I found that a hairy monster had taken over the village and was able to manipulate the monster...... I was scared, but I was also reluctant, and I went several times, but I was driven out by the terrible long-haired monster. Although I was terminally ill, I was lucky to have not died from the monster when I went several times...... Miss Su, if you really want to help me, I don't ask you to subdue that monster and the hairy monster, I just need to know my husband's whereabouts......"

When Su Jia heard this, she did feel pitiful, and Su Jia herself could feel the pain of being separated from the person she loved-after all, she was separated from Xiao Tian, and she could not forget the pain of lovesickness. So, Su Jia made up her mind in her heart to help Miss Xiaojing.

"Don't worry, ma'am, I will definitely help you find the news of your husband, and teach the monster and the long-haired monster who harmed the whole village a lesson-" Su Jia comforted Xiao Jing.

Xiaojing looks very calm, but the suffering of two years of loneliness has made her look down on a lot. Xiaojing wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then said softly: "Miss Su, there are two seniors, you can rest here for a while, and when I recuperate, I will take you there......"

"Don't bother you, Miss Xiaojing-" Ziqing saw it and immediately responded, "We know that place, Miss Xiaojing, you are not feeling well, so you should not go there, in case you encounter any danger......"

"But I just want to know my husband's whereabouts...... "Now Xiaojing, she only has a missing husband in her heart, after all, after her child died in the tiger's mouth two years ago, her missing husband is the only sustenance in her heart.

"Madam, don't worry, with us here, we will definitely help you find your husband's whereabouts......" Su Jia got up and comforted Xiaojing, "Madam, you can rest well here, let's just go by ourselves." That hairy monster can control the man-eating monster, and he must know what happened to your husband. When we get there, we'll find a way to deal with that hairy weirdo and get him to tell you your husband's whereabouts. ”

"Then please......" Xiaojing said one last word, and then lay down quietly.

"Let Miss Xiaojing have a good rest here, we'll go to that swamp now—" Su Jia said as she got up and re-grasped the ghost knife at her waist, as if eager to try.

"Now?" Ziqing asked again.

"Of course—" Su Jia replied affirmatively, "I also want to meet that monster and that hairy monster sooner, I want to see if that monster is really as terrible as you say......" Su Jia is such a character, she does not flinch when she encounters any difficulties, and dares to face them.

"Why don't you tell Elder Lu about this matter first......" Xumen mentioned again.

However, Su Jia said firmly: "Master is busy cultivating the Immortal Lotus now, and he has no time to take care of it. The three of us just went and met the monster for a while, and nothing would happen. ”

Ziqing thought about it, looked at Su Jia's firm eyes again, and then agreed: "Okay, let's take Miss Su with you...... But I can say it in advance, when I go to that place, you must not rush to fight with that monster, in case something really happens to you, Miss Su, Elder Lu will not be able to explain it......"

Su Jia looked very confident, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will be measured." I haven't been moving for a long time......"

After speaking, Su Jia didn't wait for Ziqing and Xumen to get up, and she couldn't wait to get out of the room...... (To be continued......)
