Chapter 156: Heavenly Demon (3)
In the dark night, torches were lit, and everyone walked quickly along the road in the direction of Cannes with torches in hand.
In this cold winter, the night wind was very strong, and everyone was quickly frozen to the point that their ears and noses were red, and the exhaled breath formed a white mist in front of their faces.
Zhang Zhikuan took off his coat and put it on his daughter Zhang Ying's petite body, and told as he walked:
"Remember what I told you, right?"
Fourteen-year-old daughter Zhang Ying hugged a copper kettle and nodded.
Zhang Zhikuan patted Zhang Ying's head, sighed and said:
"Then go quickly, and as I say, go and don't come back. ”
Zhang Ying is a chubby girl, and she looked at Zhang Zhikuan reluctantly:
"Dad, what are you going to do?"
"Dad is fine," Zhang Zhikuan comforted, "hurry up, only stay by the side of Lord Jiang Helm will be safe." ”
Zhang Ying looked back at her father while walking forward, and finally came to Jiang Yuan and his party at the front of the team.
Seeing that the gang in the Red Tiger Altar was just a little girl, and she was still a classmate of the two young ladies, they didn't stop it.
Zhang Ying came to Jiang Yuan's side smoothly, but she didn't dare to look at Jiang Yuan, there are too many terrible legends about this man.
She forcibly smiled on her face, and said to Li Siyan and Chen Yin:
"Two junior sisters, you're thirsty after walking for so long, aren't you? I have a pot of fruit pulp here, just right to quench your thirst. ”
In the face of Zhang Ying's enthusiasm, Li Siyan and Chen Yin thanked each other while drinking the syrup in the copper pot with Zhang Ying.
The three children were talking and laughing, and they seemed more relaxed than the adults around them.
Even after drinking the syrup, Zhang Ying still stayed by Li Siyan and Chen Yin's side, all of this was explained by her father Zhang Zhikuan, and only by staying here could she ensure her safety to the greatest extent.
Zhang Zhikuan, who was in the distance, had been staring at everything nervously, for fear that Jiang Yuan would drive his daughter away, but fortunately, until now, Jiang Yuan did not pay any attention to his daughter's meaning, and he was relieved.
By Zhang Zhikuan's side, it was Mr. Zhuo Yiming, who only heard Zhuo Yiming laugh and said:
"Boss Zhang really loves his daughter, and he exchanged a pot of fruit pulp for Ling Qianjin's thoughtfulness. ”
Zhang Zhikuan sighed and said:
"Mr. Zhuo, don't you know, I have given birth to seven sons, and there is only such a daughter, so I can't love her more. By the way, Mr. Zhuo, it's so dark, let's light the torch and go on the road, isn't it easier for the demons to see it? Do you want me to go up and suggest to Lord Jiang Helm to extinguish the torch?"
Zhuo Yiming shook his head:
"The demon's eyesight is far beyond that of mortals, especially this Black-winged Heavenly Demon. In fact, demons often rely on the vitality of the living to prey, not just their eyes. Therefore, whether there is a torch or not is the same for demons, and extinguishing the torch will make us unable to see. ”
"Mr. Zhuo is really knowledgeable!" Zhang Zhikuan praised casually, "We have walked for such a long time, we should be -"
Before Zhang Zhikuan finished speaking, a terrible scream suddenly sounded at the back of the team:
"Ah——! help!"
The two hurriedly turned their heads to look behind them, only to see a black shadow silently descending into the sky, grabbing a living person at the end of the line, and then flapping its wings and flying high.
The screams of the living man grew louder and louder, and finally disappeared into the dark sky.
The people nearby were stunned for a moment, and then erupted into a panicked scream.
"That's ...... Boss Jiao!" Zhang Zhikuan's heart trembled, and the chill extended down his back to the back of his head.
I thought that it was safe to follow Jiang Yuan, but who would have thought that the demons would still hunt.
He hurriedly looked towards the front of the team, expecting Jiang Yuan to do something.
However, as if Jiang Yuan hadn't seen or heard, he continued to move forward with the help of the Star Demon Sea.
"Even the Jiang Duo ...... There's nothing you can do?"
Zhang Zhikuan's heart was cold, and he hurriedly ran towards the people of the Star Demon Sea, at this time, only the closer he was to them, the safer he could be.
The living people around him obviously had this idea too, and they rushed forward, trying to break through the barrier of the Star Demon Sea Gang, and gathered around Jiang Yuan.
However, when I saw those Star Demon Sea Gang members swinging their knives, blood splashed everywhere, and the first few people were cut down by sharp blades.
Just listen to Cen thunderstorm drink:
"Whoever dares to rush into the helmsman, kill!"
Suddenly, no one dared to continue forward, and they kept their distance from the Star Demon Sea Gang in horror, and could only hang behind and follow.
Jiang Yuan didn't even look back, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
Zhang Zhikuan kept staring at his daughter closely, only to see his daughter Zhang Ying keep looking back at him worriedly, but he was finally obediently with Jiang Yuan's two righteous daughters, and Jiang Yuan didn't care about her.
This made Zhang Zhikuan a little relieved.
The cold night was cold, and the north wind was like a knife.
In the middle of the night, whispered weeping, mournful pleadings, and screams of pain rose and fell in the procession.
"Mr. Zhuo......" Zhang Zhikuan asked gloomily, "if I die...... Will you become a demon too?"
Zhuo Yiming replied:
"If you're killed by a demon, chances are. And if it is sick and old age, then it will not. As far as I know, whether or not a person can become a demon or not is related to evil spirits. If the evil qi enters the body but does not enter the soul, it will become a zombie, and if the evil spirit enters the soul but does not enter the body, it will become a ghost, and if the evil qi enters the body and soul, then it will become something strange and strange......"
When Zhang Zhikuan heard this, he asked:
"Then what is the evil spirit, and where does it come from? I'd rather die of sickness, old age, or be hacked to death, than become that kind of!"
Zhuo Yiming shook his head:
"This is a mystery that has existed since ancient times, and it is not something that ordinary people like me can know. ”
Zhang Zhikuan said dejectedly:
"If I can return alive from this trip, I will definitely do more good deeds and worship the gods...... By the way, Mr. Zhuo, who is the god in charge of life and death?"
Zhuo Yiming replied:
"The Great Priest. ”
Zhang Zhikuan nodded:
"Yes, I will definitely pay for the construction of a temple for the Great Priest God, and the incense will continue day and night!"
Zhuo Yiming secretly shook his head helplessly, can he really get shelter by worshipping the gods?
At this time, I suddenly heard Zhang Zhikuan say suspiciously:
"Mr. Zhuo, look, what are they doing?"
Zhuo Yiming raised his head and looked towards the front of the team, only to see Jiang Yuan looking at the night sky while commanding something loudly.
followed, only to see Jiang Yuan untie his robe and cover the heads of the three little girls, Li Siyan, Chen Yin and Zhang Ying.
The rest of the Star Demon Sea Gang also took off their coats and held them above their heads, as if they wanted to avoid the torrential rain.
Zhuo Yiming was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly untied the robe on his body:
"Boss Zhang, hurry up! Learn from them!"
Zhang Zhikuan's face was still confused:
"What the hell is this doing?"
"I don't know!" Zhuo Yiming replied quickly, "But Master Jiang Helm must have a reason for doing this!
After finishing speaking, Zhuo Yiming had already untied his coat and put it on top of his head.
Zhang Zhikuan's movements were much slower, and he had already taken off his coat to his daughter Zhang Ying because he was worried that Zhang Ying would be cold.
What he was wearing at this time was some underwear that would be difficult to untie for a while, and just as he was in a hurry, something had already fallen in the sky.
Falling like raindrops was a viscous liquid.
This piece of liquid fell, drenching many people in the team, and Zhang Zhikuan was also in it.
Zhang Zhikuan only thought that what fell was just some blood like when he was in the rice field, but when he reached out and wiped it on his face, he found that the palm of his hand was not blood, but some black mucus like oil.
In his confused eyes, he saw that the black slime in his palm suddenly changed.
Tiny swollen eggs suddenly floated from the slime, and from these eggs came some thread-shaped worms like slender roundworms.
"What the hell is this?!"
Zhang Zhikuan screamed in horror and quickly tried to slap the insects off his hands, face, head, and neck.
When these insects felt the smell of flesh and blood of living people, they suddenly burrowed into Zhang Zhikuan's skin extremely fiercely, leaving only a tiny blood hole in the smooth skin.
"They...... They're in!" Zhang Zhikuan was horrified, "Got into my body!"
Zhuo Yiming quickly threw away the clothes covering his head, and the black slime was dripping on the clothes, so that he was not contaminated.
Those bugs burrowed into Zhang Zhikuan's skin, but Zhuo Yiming saw it more clearly than Zhang Zhikuan.
Countless silk-like insects raised their heads from the black slime, and then drilled into Zhang Zhikuan's exposed skin, and even Zhang Zhikuan's eyes also got into a lot, making his eyes red with blood.
"Help me!" Zhang Zhikuan's eyes could no longer see anything, and his hands were scratching around, "Help me!"
Zhuo Yiming was startled, hurriedly avoided Zhang Zhikuan, and looked at Zhang Zhikuan's miserable situation with a numb scalp.
I saw Zhang Zhikuan scratching around for a while, and a look of extreme pain suddenly appeared on his face, and his ten fingers stretched out to his skin, scratching frantically.
He scratched his face, his neck, and his chest, and all the places he grabbed were bloody, and among the flesh and skin, he could faintly see those silk-like insects shuttling in the flesh and blood.
His index finger gripped harder and harder, until he even scratched his belly at the end, exposing the internal organs.
"Ah——!" Zhang Zhikuan howled in pain, "Kill me! It hurts! Relieve me, kill me!"
"Dad!" his daughter Zhang Ying cried and screamed when she saw this scene.
Zhang Ying wanted to run to Zhang Zhikuan, but was firmly hugged by Li Siyan and Chen Yin.
Zhang Zhikuan was already in pain and couldn't stand, rolling on the ground in pain, the nails of his ten fingers were scratched too hard, and the nails were turned up.
People like Zhang Zhikuan are not a few in the team.
But all those who were doused with black slime screamed and scratched and howled in extreme pain, men, women, and children.
This pain did not make them die, but they continued to suffer the torture like ten thousand insects eating bones, until their voices were hoarse and exhausted, and the pain and torture would not go away.
In the midst of everyone's horror and grief, Jiang Yuan walked over slowly, and his hands rose with bright flames:
"Let me free them. ”
