Chapter 43: Gecko Spirit
If the world is peaceful and prosperous, then everything is clear. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In troubled times, there will be many demons and evil spirits.
It's a pity that for the people, there are few prosperous times in the world.
The mountains are getting steeper and the roads are getting rougher.
The wheels were rolling on the gravel, and the carriage, no matter how wide it was, swayed from side to side.
The road ahead was even more bumpy, and Bai Wuzhu stopped the car, went around to the back of the car, and opened the door panel.
Seeing Bai Wuchang looking at each other, Xue Xuexue immediately complained: "How did you catch the car? ”
"A man can protect himself, but wine cannot. Bai Wuchang's eyes were concerned and he leaned into the car: "I'll see if my wine has been spilled." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, all in the world, only wine is the most important. After Xue Xuexue finished destroying him, he pointed at the black impermanence.
Hei Wuchang sat upright and closed his eyes, as if he was recuperating his mind.
The iron rope in his hand has been released, locking four jugs of wine, safe and secure.
"With the master to take care of it, it must be foolproof. Bai Wuchang put his mind at ease and asked strangely: "The master's iron rope has the ability to split the sky and the earth, and he can actually protect the wine for me, I really have such a big face?"
He replied lightly: "I'm not protecting wine, it's your excuse." ”
Excuse?
Only Bai Wuchang can understand this.
If there is wine, there will be an excuse not to have real sexual intercourse with the Red Bodhisattva.
It seems that last night's fragrant scene did not escape the eyes of the master.
Close the door and continue on your way.
Black and white tacitly agreed, but Xue Xuexue didn't understand.
The little girl was curious and wanted to know why.
Looking at Hei Wuchang's cold face, he still held back.
The car has reached the mountain pass.
Stop again and take a break.
Someone was heard greeting in the distance. In search of prestige, there were seven or eight passers-by, all dressed in different ways, some plainly dressed, some gorgeous, and they did not look like companions.
The crowd approached, and a stout man in rough clothes asked Bai Wuchang: "Are you going to cross the mountain?"
Bai Wuchang nodded, and the thick-clothed man asked again: "We are also going to cross the mountain, there are eight of us, how many of you are there?"
Touching the number of people for no reason, what does this person mean?
Bai Wuchang didn't answer and asked: "Brother Tai has something?"
"Counting the population, if we gather twenty people, we can cross the mountain...... How many of you are there?"
"Why do you need to gather twenty people to cross the mountain?"
Stared at him, with a mocking expression. The stoutly clothed man said in a loud voice, "Didn't you read the notice on the city wall before you went out of the city? There are monsters in this mountain, and if you want to cross the mountain, you must pass it at noon during the day, and you must gather twenty people." ”
"It can suppress demonic energy during the day, so I can still understand how to cross the mountain at noon. Bai Wuchang was full of doubts: "What is the purpose of gathering twenty people?"
"You don't understand that. The stout man in the rough coat smiled triumphantly, with the same look on his face as a teacher. He preached to him: "The county master asked the master to give a divination, and the master said that everyone has a protector behind him, as long as there are twenty people, there will be twenty protectors, and the demons will not dare to get close, so it will be absolutely safe to cross the mountain." ”
"You believe it?"
Of course I did. ”
It's really simple, innocent and romantic.
Looking at Bai Wuchang's strange expression, the thick-clothed man was a little angry: "This is the hexagram of the archmage Bu, can it still be fake?"
Sticks are everywhere, impostors who cheat money.
Bai Wuchang didn't answer and asked again: "How much did the Grand Master Bu collect from you for this hexagram?"
"I heard that the county government gave a hundred taels of gold. The sturdy man in the rough clothes was afraid of Bai Impermanence and questioned the prestige of the mage, so he stared at him and boasted for the mage: "The archmage is very powerful, he has a demon suppression sword, and he can catch demons for thousands of years, and he is not under the transformation!"
A hundred taels of gold?
I'm afraid that at least fifty taels were kicked back by the county officials.
Shaking the fan to drive away sweat, he asked the strong-clothed man: "Since the archmage is so powerful, why don't you let him catch the demon in this mountain?"
"Because, because ......"
It's a difficult question to answer.
yes, why don't mages catch demons?
couldn't answer, his face was flushed, and he was angry at Bai Impermanence: "You person, you don't know how powerful you are if you don't read the notice, others tell you, you still don't believe it, do you know that you regret it after being eaten by monsters after entering the mountain?"
Cursing him twice, the stout man walked to a stone and sat down, panting heavily.
This is very popular.
Secretly smiled, walked towards the rough man, and before he could speak, he was ridiculed again: "Don't you don't believe it?
"I have a question to ask and a word to say. ”
The coarse-clothed man was not angry: "Ask, say." ”
Nodding and smiling: "The question is, have the demons in the mountains harmed people?"
The stout man in thick clothes didn't answer, and an old man said in a trembling voice: "If you hadn't harmed anyone, would everyone be so afraid? Sixteen lives have already died." ”
Great!
Since I've hurt people, don't blame me for making a fuss.
Bow your hand to the old man, turn around and leave.
The stout man behind him asked loudly, "Don't you have one more thing to say?"
Looking back at the people waiting for the number of people to gather, he pointed to the flat place of the mountain pass, and said with a smile: "If there is a tea stall here, which can provide a rest for nineteen people, the business will definitely be prosperous." ”
Throwing down this sentence, he laughed and walked away.
Passers-by looked at each other, but no one made a sound.
There are already two businessmen secretly planning, this is indeed a rare business opportunity!
When they were thinking about it, they suddenly heard the old man frightened: "Look, everyone, he ...... How dare he go into the mountains by himself?"
Everyone raised their eyes to watch, only to see that the middle-aged man just now was driving a carriage alone and had driven into the mountain pass.
The old man sighed with pity: "A good man is going to be eaten by monsters." ”
Walking into the valley, sure enough, the demonic aura was pervasive.
The mountain peaks are covered with mist, and there is a bloody commotion everywhere.
The murmuring of the stream sounded like a curse.
Bai Wuchang no longer urged the horses, and let them walk.
When he walked to the mountain spring and saw that the spring was crystal clear, he jumped out of the carriage and bowed to wash his face, which was also refreshing.
Shaking the residual water on his hands, he heard the woman's laughter.
Looking for prestige, I saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl fluttering butterflies and chasing bees in the mountains, playing freely.
When my daughter first grew up, it was when she was slender.
The corners of his mouth were raised, and he leaned over and said to the little girl, "Butterflies are beautiful and can be companions, but why do you want to provoke wasps? Aren't you afraid that they will sting you?"
Giggled, let go of the butterfly in his hand, and smiled sweetly at Bai Impermanence: "The wasps don't dare to sting me, I'm a gecko spirit, I specialize in eating insects, they are scared when they smell me, if I show my true body, won't I scare them to death?"
The little demon who has just become a spirit is not yet complete.
Her voice was good, and Bai Wuchang leaned closer: "It turns out that you are a demon, no wonder you dare to play in the mountains." ”
"What about you? what are you?" she asked him, tilting her head, innocently romantic.
"Me?" shook his head and smiled: "I'm not a demon, I came into the mountains to ask for an errand." ”
"If you're not a demon, let's hurry up, there are a lot of demons in this mountain. ”
The little girl was kind enough to persuade him, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "A man like you is not enough for us to eat." ”
Look at yourself up and down, is it really so weak?
He asked her casually, "Don't you eat worms?"
The little girl pursed her lips and did not answer him.
Remembering what he had just said, he raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "What do you mean when you just said that you asked for an errand?"
"There are so many demons in the mountains, there will always be a shortage of some errands to manage accounts, right?" Bai Wuchang smiled back: "I am literate and can settle accounts." Then he asked her, "Isn't your king short of manpower?"
"Lacking, why is there no shortage?" the little girl pursed her lips and complained in a aggrieved whisper: "If there is no shortage of manpower, how can you send me to patrol the mountains?"
This little demon asks ten questions, and is a little lacking in heart.
Her king was even more lacking in heart, and dared to send her to patrol the mountains.
Rubbing his nose, covering his smiling face, he asked her again: "I heard that there were no demons here before, why did a large group suddenly appear?"
"Besides, it's scared to death. The little girl sighed, with some fear on her face: "A few days ago, I heard that the Zhengxi Demon Ancestor held a group demon conference. Suddenly went crazy at the conference, slaughtered the entire Zhengxi Demon Realm, and those little demons who were not qualified to participate in the conference didn't dare to stay in the Zhengxi Realm, and they all fled. originally wanted to defect to the Zhengzhong Demon Ancestor, but the Zhengzhong Demon Realm thought they were not in the stream and refused to take them in, so they all gathered here. ”
Although the words were simple, Bai Wuchang could understand it.
It turned out that the demon slayer was impure that day, leaving a scourge on the world.
Hearing the strangeness from the words, Bai Wuchang was strange: "Huh, you take one bite at a time, didn't you escape from the Zhengxi Demon Realm?"
"I'm not a gecko! I'm just a little gecko in this mountain, and I have cultivated hard to become a human with great difficulty. Her face was full of pride, and after pursing her lips, she frowned again: "I have a little spell, I originally wanted to make a difference, but I was occupied by this group of demons, and now I have become an adult's maid." ”
Not only harmed the world, but also harmed the local demons.
Her grievances are also pitiful, and Bai Wuchang comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here, you're not a girl, at least, you still have me to call." ”
She was so coaxed, thought about Bai Wuchang's words, smiled, and took his hand: "You come with me to a high place, and I will take you to recognize the Tao first." ”
I wanted to ask for directions, but I didn't expect her to take the initiative to be enthusiastic.
Is there such a good thing in the world?
Climb with her to a high place and stand still on a boulder.
She pointed to the peaks one by one and introduced Bai Wuchang: "The nearest one is called Huohuo Peak, the two-headed mountain is called Hengtong Ridge, and the highest peak is called Xinglongzhai." Each dojo has a demon king. ”
"Hot Peak, Enjoy Tongling, Xinglong Village?" Bai Wuchang smiled: "It seems that the Demon King has done his cultivation as a business." ”
A joke, but she took it seriously.
She nodded violently: "Of course it's a deal, and it's a good deal!" After speaking, she approached him and lowered her voice: "I told you this because I saw that you were a good person, so don't tell me about it." ”
And the secrets?
"Of course, in the world, only I have the strictest mouth. Hurriedly leaned over, the little girl looked up left and right again, saw that there was indeed no one else, covered her mouth, and whispered: "I heard that the reason why the Zhengxi Demon Ancestor slaughtered the Zhengxi Demon Realm is because his daughter is going to get married, and in addition to many gold and silver treasures in the dowry, there is also a pair of boys and girls. The boys and virgins personally selected by the Zhengxi Demon Ancestor must be of the highest quality, so everyone wants to grab them for their own use, which can increase their cultivation for thousands of years. ”
