Chapter 34: The Demon
Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a giant named Kuafu, a descendant of the god of the Netherworld, who was very good at running, so he wanted to compete with the sun to see who could run faster. When he chased the sun into the valley of foolishness, he was thirsty, so he went to drink the water of the Yellow and Weier rivers, and after the river water was dried, he was still thirsty, so he wanted to drink the water of the northern river.www.biquge.info But before he reached the north, he died of thirst. After Kua's father died, the crutches in his hand turned into a fruitful peach forest, which was the future Taolin County. And his body turned into a big mountain, which was later known as Kuafu Mountain. Due to the influence of myths and stories, for thousands of years, people have always had a heart of awe for Kuafu Mountain and never dared to step into the mountain easily. As a result, a generation of famous mountains has become more mysterious and fascinating.
In a dense forest a few miles away from Kuafu Mountain, a pair of masters and servants sat looking at each other. After reading the book for a while, the master lifted the water bladder, took a sip gently, and then covered the water bladder and set it aside. The servant also had a water bladder in his hand, but the servant seemed to be a little thirsty, so he lifted the water bladder and drank it several times before he covered the water bladder. After the two of them drank the water, the master said, "Xiao Pu, I see that it is getting late, we need to find a place to stay before dark!" The servant named "Xiao Pu" frowned and said, "Master Nie, you must also know that this Kuafu Mountain is deserted within a radius of several miles, where will there be any place to stay!" The "Nie Old Man" reluctantly smiled: "Xiao Pu, having said that, but the sky is endless, I believe that we will definitely find a place to stay!" The name is "Xiao Pu" The servant was still full of worries, and said: "Master Nie, I'm afraid that we have not found a place to stay, and we have been targeted!" The "Master Nie" laughed and said: "Xiao Pu, since you have explained the matter, then Master Ben will no longer pretend to be confused." As he spoke, he heard the "Master Nie" shouting: "Stop hiding." Come out quickly!" The words were spoken, but there was not the slightest change in the surroundings. When the servant named "Xiao Pu" saw this, he said, "That brother who is hiding in the woods, we have already discovered you. Since we left Hucheng County, you have followed all the way, and now you are about to reach Kuafu Mountain, but you still refuse to leave. What is the purpose of what you are doing this?" "Xiao Pu" had already made it very clear that the man hiding in the forest had no choice but to jump down from the tree, and immediately on foot. "Master Nie" and "Xiao Pu" looked at each other, and couldn't help but be surprised, the person who appeared in front of them was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old stunning girl. Both the master and the servant also knew the girl, and couldn't help but call out the girl's name.
"Miss Liu?" (Master Nie shouted)
"Liu Wenxi?" (Xiao Pu shouted)
"Yes, it's this girl. I wanted to be with you for a while, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you!" Liu Wenxi said a little unwillingly.
The "Master Nie" hurriedly said: "Miss Liu, this seat and Pu Zhutou are going to be dangerous and unpredictable, you are a weak woman, you really shouldn't come with you, let's go back quickly!" It turned out that the pair of masters and servants were played by Nie Sanjiang and Pu Luochen. Pu Luochen on the side also said: "Miss Liu, Mr. Nie has already made things very clear, so it's better for you to leave quickly." Liu Wenxi shook her head again and again, and said: "Everyone says that Kuafu Mountain is mysterious, so it can be seen that this Kuafu Mountain must be a very interesting place, this girl has already followed here, how can she leave here?" After a while, Nie Sanjiang seemed to think of something, so he immediately said: "Miss Liu, the purpose of this visit to Kuafu Mountain, I think Miss Liu should know, right?" Liu Wenxi rushed out and said: "How could this girl not know? You taught your father to spread the news everywhere in Hucheng County, saying that you are going to Kuafu Mountain to hunt demons." Now this monster hunting is well known to everyone!" Nie Sanjiang nodded and said: "That's it, since you already know the purpose of our trip, why do you want to wait with me?" Aren't you afraid that monsters eat people?" Liu Wenxi was stunned for a moment, and asked a little stammering: "Demons, monsters, do you really eat people?" Nie Sanjiang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said: "Miss Liu, how can there be a monster in this world that doesn't eat people? If a monster doesn't eat people, then it's not a monster!" Liu Wenxi couldn't help but be confused when she heard this, and said hurriedly: " In this way, aren't you going to be a sheep into a group of tigers?" Nie Sanjiang smiled slightly: "Even if a sheep enters a group of tigers, this seat will have to go through it!" Liu Wenxi couldn't help but be speechless. Seeing this, Pu Luochen added fuel and vinegar and said: "Miss Liu, the legendary monster likes to eat girls the most, you are a weak woman, if you go to Kuafu Mountain, isn't the first person the monster wants to eat is you Miss Liu・・・・・・?"
After Liu Wenxi left, Nie and Pu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Pu Luochen said: "Mr. Nie catches the head, you are still powerful, and you deceived this Liu girl in a few words." Nie Sanjiang said with a smile: "Brother Pu is also doing well, if you didn't say that at the end, I'm afraid this Liu girl wouldn't leave!" Pu Luochen couldn't help laughing and said: "Mr. Nie is really too humble to catch his head." However, it is strange to say that you and I rode dozens of miles on horseback to get here. This Liu girl didn't ride in a carriage or a horse, how could she catch up with us so quickly?" Hearing this, Nie Sanjiang's expression quickly became solemn, and he said: "Brother Pu's words are not unreasonable! How could she, a small weak woman, catch up with us horseback riders?" Could it be that she ・・・・・・ be able to do light work?" Pu Luochen pondered: "Mr. Nie, now that I think about it, Miss Liu does have a lot of doubts, so we can see that this Miss Liu is not as simple as we think!" Nie Sanjiang said: "Brother Pu, the top priority at the moment is to find out the matter of the Kuafu Mountain artifact first, and for the matter of Miss Liu, let's check it later!" Pu Luochen nodded and said, "That's the only way." After a short rest, the two continued on their way. When it was dark, the two arrived at the foot of Kwafu Mountain. As it was getting late, the two rested in the forest.
Green smoke filled the forest, and the thick bonfire became the only bright spot in the whole forest. One person sat on each side of the campfire, and each of them had their own thoughts. Nie Sanjiang on the side kept flipping through a very thick book with the help of the firelight, and Pu Luochen on the other side kept throwing branches into the fire, and the fire became more and more intense. Nie Sanjiang on the side ignored this. Calculating the time, the time has passed, Pu Luochen felt slightly tired, and immediately said: "Mr. Nie, it's not too early, can you rest?" Nie Sanjiang looked at the book and replied: "Brother Pu, if you are sleepy, you should rest first, and this seat will have to look at it for a while." Pu Luochen frowned and said: "Mr. Nie, since you left this Hucheng County, you have been holding this book and reading it from morning to night. Ignore the rest. Pu really wanted to know, why did Master Zongzhu attach so much importance to this book?" Nie Sanjiang replied: "This book is the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" written by the ancient ancestors, and there is a record of Kuafu Mountain in the book. Pu Luochen suddenly said: "I see, I don't know what the master has understood after watching it for a long time?" Nie Sanjiang listened, closed the book, and said: "This seat has inquired with the local master, 'The lake water flows out of the south of Hucheng County 35 miles Kuafu Mountain' is from the "Gudi Chronicles" of this dynasty, this sentence has explained the location of Kuafu Mountain in great detail, in addition, according to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" After coming out of the forest, there will be a water source, which is the water of the ancient lake・・・・・・" As soon as he finished saying the word "water", a strange sound suddenly came into Nie's ears, and the two immediately held their weapons in case there was a change.
Suddenly, there were several "whoosh" sounds, and dozens of cold arrows had been shot towards Nie and Pu respectively. The two immediately dodged away. While avoiding it, Pu Luochen grabbed a burning branch and shot it towards the place where the cold arrow came from, and a scream came from the darkness, and the man fell to the ground. Immediately, arrows rained down, and Nie and Pu had to keep dodging to avoid this killing move. After a while, there was a strange cry not far away, and the cry was like the roar of a hungry wolf, which was terrifying. Nie and Pu couldn't help but secretly think: "Could it be that the monsters are really here?" As soon as they talked about the monsters, the two couldn't help but gasp, and they also made up their minds in their hearts: If the other party is really a monster, then even if we destroy our bodies, we will kill these harmful monsters!"
Nie and Pu are also first-class players in the rivers and lakes, and the opponent's arrow array can't hurt the two of them at all. Perhaps it was for this reason that the other party stopped firing arrows and was about to kill. At this time, the bonfire was not extinguished, and with the help of the firelight, Nie and Pu finally came to clear the appearance of the comer. There are about dozens of people on the other side, and one by one they are dressed in animal skins, and animal skins are pants, their clothes do not cover their bodies, and their pants do not exceed their knees, and their clothes are really nondescript. After these people appeared, they just surrounded Nie and Pu, screaming and screaming, and did not attack. Pu Luochen couldn't help but be a little confused, so he turned his head and whispered to Nie Sanjiang and asked, "Master Hunt, they, are they monsters?" Nie Sanjiang carefully looked at these figures in front of him, and didn't see any clues, so he shook his head and said: "These people are all decorated with animal skins, this kind of beast ornament method, this seat has never seen it, and it is difficult to guess their identity for a while." While the two were deliberating, the strange scream they had heard before rang in their ears again. As soon as the screams fell, those strange people also began to attack Nie and Pu. The attacks of the strange people can be described as disorderly, and some people are armed with spears and stab them in the head. Others use bows and crossbows to sneak up on them. Some even pounced on them like wild beasts with a few other people. It didn't take long for Nie and Pu to be caught by the strange people and couldn't move. The two had to use their internal force to shake the strange man away. Nie Sanjiang's skills are abundant, and once the internal force is used, he will shake the strange person who grabbed him to pieces. In contrast, Pu Luochen's skills are weak, and he can only shake those weirdos all over, but he can't get rid of them. Seeing this, Nie Sanjiang immediately stepped forward to help. I didn't want to, but I was blocked by a series of cold arrows.
Pu Luochen exerted his strength for a long time, but those weirdos still refused to let go. In desperation, Pu Luochen had to temporarily regain his strength and fall to the ground to rest. Seeing this, the rest of the strange people took the opportunity to wave their spears and stabbed at Pu Luochen's head one after another. Seeing that the situation was not good, Pu Luochen rolled on the ground again and again, and those spears were also pierced into the air. At the same time, Pu Luochen took the opportunity to pick up a branch from the ground and pointed the two weirdos who were grabbing his arms to the acupoint. The two strangers fell to the ground without a single snort. Seeing this, the rest of the strange people panicked, and in an instant, they were knocked to the ground by Pu Luochen with internal force. Pu Luochen, who finally got out, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, at this moment, a cold arrow was already firmly aimed at Pu Luochen's vital point. I only heard a "whoosh" sound, and a cold arrow shot out quickly. Pu Luochen heard the sound and immediately grabbed the cold arrow in his hand. Unexpectedly, due to the excessive force before, the body was a little prostration, and the cold arrow did not catch it, and it slid through his hand in an instant. Pu Luochen only felt a slight pain in his palm, and when he stretched out his palm, he saw that the palm had been cut out by the cold arrow. For some reason, after being hit by the arrow, Pu Luochen suddenly felt that his body was shaky, and his consciousness became more and more blurred.
After ・・・・・・・・・・・・the second word "arrow" was finished, Pu Luochen fell to the ground softly and unconscious.
Seeing this, the strange people swung their spears again and stabbed Pu Luochen. Seeing that Pu Luochen's life was difficult to protect, Nie Sanjiang hurriedly grabbed the stones on the ground and hit those strange people, and soon knocked those strange people to the ground, which saved Pu Luochen's life. Immediately, Nie Sanjiang hurried over, picked up the dust, and fled outside the forest. After leaving the forest, there is a water source in front of you, that is, the ancient lake, and there is no other way to go. Nie Sanjiang had no choice but to jump into the lake. The strangers chased them to the lake, but found nothing, so they turned around and left.
