Chapter 9: Demon Charms

Da Yuan looked back and saw a sweet-looking woman standing behind him, this woman was wearing a palace long skirt, looking forward to the brilliance, smiling affectionately. Although it was very different from last night, Da Yuan still recognized this woman as Hua Ling, the female Taoist priest who spoke and yelled last night, ate and drank and devoured.

Since they were on the same road, it was not easy for Da Yuan to refuse, so the two of them took the same car and hurried. There was not much space in the carriage, and the two were next to each other, which was a little awkward. Hua Ling learned that Da Yuan was also a demon exterminator who received the order from the ground, so she talked about her experience in eliminating demons, and talked about the danger of demon slayers, and talked about the deaths of many fellow practitioners when they eliminated demons, and even felt a little sympathetic.

The two talked about weapons and magic weapons from demon eradication, and when they talked about the heat, Hua Ling was next to Da Yuan, looking like a little bird. Seeing Hua Ling's snow-white neck and chest, Da Yuan couldn't help but be emotional, and only hugged it lightly, Hua Ling hummed and fell into Da Yuan's arms.

Seeing Chang'an, the two of them got out of the carriage with blushing faces, and Hua Ling asked, "Brother Da Yuan, I'll accompany you to Suxinguan to find the Wuyuan Daoist first." ”

Listening to Hua Ling mention the Wuyuan Daoist, Da Yuan knew that the other party was talking about the Easy Order, and Da Yuan had already seen from the gambling game that everyone attached great importance to the Easy Order, and Hua Ling followed him, which showed that the Easy Order was extremely unusual.

Hua Ling knew that Da Yuan didn't know about the Easy Order, so he explained, and Da Yuan knew that the name of the Wuyuan Daoist was very great, just because the demon spirit talisman made by the Wuyuan Dao was extremely powerful, and it could be guaranteed to be foolproof, and only the person who held the token could buy it from the Wuyuan Daoist.

Suxinguan is in the Xicheng District of Chang'an City, and the two of them walked not far to Suxinguan. The Taoist temple is not grand, and there are no people entering the incense, which seems quite deserted. When she got closer, Hua Ling grabbed Da Yuan's arm and said with a smile: "Brother Da Yuan, when you see Wuyuan Dao Chang in a while, can you help me buy a demon subduing talisman?"

Da Yuan laughed secretly in his heart, you followed me all the way for this, and it was nothing to buy one for her, but each demon slaying talisman cost fifty taels of gold, Da Yuan stretched out his hand and said, "Bring the gold to buy the spirit talisman." ”

Hua Ling snorted and took out fifty taels of gold and handed it to Da Yuan. Da Yuan entered the Suxin Temple alone, showed the token, showed his intention, and was taken in by a soldier. The inside of this Taoist temple is not small, and it crosses the two courtyards to the living room of the Wuyuan Daoist. Hearing what Da Yuan said, Wu Yuan Lao Dao accepted one hundred taels of gold, took out two wooden boxes containing demon slaying talismans and handed them to Da Yuan. Wuyuan Daoist said again: "This order can buy three more spirit runes." ”

At this time, Da Yuan realized that each token could only buy five demon smugglers, and immediately regretted agreeing to Hua Ling. Da Yuan bought the spirit rune, and from the plain mind, Hua Ling was looking forward to it. Da Yuan took out a wooden box and handed it to Hua Ling, Hua Ling took it, opened the wooden box and took a look, and suddenly looked happy.

Then Hua Ling went to the Tianjian Platform with Da Yuan, and Da Yuan received the reward of killing the evil ghosts of the Yuan, and there were twenty years and seventy days of Taoism, which was a lot more than the last time he killed the snake spirit. After handing over the task, both of them received a new land order, Da Qi was going to the source of Weishui in the west of Chang'an, and Hua Ling's land order was near Chang'an.

The two parted ways, and when they parted, Hua Ling was tired of being in Da Yuan's arms, so she was reluctant to give up, and even asked Da Yuan to meet at the Chang'an Inn when she came back. Da Yuan left Chang'an, went west out of Tongguan, and went straight to the upper reaches of Weishui.

Outside the plug, the endless wilderness, the ancient road of yellow sand. On this day, I didn't see a single house along the way, and at dusk, I finally saw a small stream and a forest. There is also a small village in front of it, and there seems to be an inn on the side of the road in the distance.

It has been half a month since I left Tongguan, and it is time to calculate the distance. As the sun set, the inn was reflected in the setting sun, which had been dyed with a layer of blood, and the road was also red, looking like a stream of blood flowing out of the inn. Da Yuan was shocked in his heart, and suddenly felt extremely ominous.

After hesitating for a moment, he jumped off his horse, went into the woods, and let the horse go to graze on its own. Along the way, Da Yuan was also tired, so he found a big tree and hid it in the branches to lie down to rest.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, there was the sound of horses' hooves on the road again, and the sound was getting closer and closer, only to hear a man say: "Is there an ant village ahead?"

A woman said, "It's not wrong, let's go into the woods and rest, and then talk about it." ”

I heard three men dismount and go into the woods. Da Yuan realized that the three of them were cultivators, so he jumped off the tree, greeted them, and arched his hand to the three of them: "Three Taoist friends, please." ”

The three of them were taken aback when they saw the sudden appearance of the big coat. The three of them looked at the big coat, and then met the big coat, the three of them were quick with their hands and feet, and soon lit a bonfire, took the raw meat and barbecued it, and beckoned the big coat to eat together.

The four of them sat around the bonfire and reported each other's names, and the other party was a man and a woman with brothers and sisters, the man was called Qingping, and the younger sister was called Qingxi. Another woman wore a linen red dress and a red dress, and called herself a red hairpin.

The four of them talked about the itinerary, and the three of them formed a team to receive the order, and they came from Chang'an to get rid of the demons, just near this area. The black fox spirit that Da Yuan wanted to kill was also nearby, but Da Yuan casually said that he was a wandering Taoist, but he had just traveled here. After resting, the three of them discussed going to the ant village in front to inquire about the news, and Da Yuan said: "Before dark, I saw that there seemed to be an inn on the side of the road in front of me, so it is better to go there first." ”

Qing Xi smiled: "Since there is an inn, Daoist friends didn't say it earlier, my body has a long smell, I should have found a place to wash it well, and then have a good meal." ”

Qingping smiled: "Senior sister has always been very fragrant, no need to wash it, but it's true to have a good night's sleep." ”

Hongchai nodded and said, "Then let's go, everyone be careful, the wild boar essence is around here." ”

The four of them extinguished the bonfire and set out on the road together. After walking a short distance, I saw two red lights getting closer and closer in front of me, and sure enough, there was a huge inn on the side of the road in front of me. The four of them approached, but found that the inn was quiet, and no sound could be heard, and it seemed that there was no one inside.

Qingping stepped forward and only pushed lightly, and the door of the inn opened, only to see that the inn was cleaned cleanly, and even a stove of incense was lit, and the fragrance hit people. Look at the fire burning in the center, surrounded by several wooden tables, more than a dozen wooden chairs, and neatly placed wine jars and cups and saucers on the counter. The four of them walked in cautiously, and suddenly a small man ran out of it, and the young man held the candlestick and smiled: "Four guests, please take a seat." ”

The young man sat down the four of them and said with a smile: "The shop has a special roast pig, do you want to try it?"

Hongchai nodded and sneered: "That's good, go and bring it." ”

Da Yuan looked around, and suddenly noticed that the objects in front of him were sometimes slightly distorted, and Da Yuan said in a low voice: "That's not right." ”

The two brothers and sisters of Qingping were looking around, but Hongchai leisurely took out a small purple gold bronze mirror, scratched his head in front of the mirror, and looked up and down. The red hairpin beckoned to the big jacket and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist, come over and see if my hairpin is correct?"

Da Yuan knew that something was wrong, and when he leaned over to look, he saw a different scene in the bronze mirror, the store was full of dust and cobwebs, and there were piles of white bones on the counter. At this time, the young man walked out, and the red hairpin turned the purple gold mirror, shining on him, and saw a skull. The skeleton was clearly holding a human head and placed it on the table.

The guy said: "Distinguished guest, please use it, the best roast suckling pig in our store, there is no semicolon within a hundred miles." ”

Several people exchanged glances with each other, and Da Yuan shook his head slightly, signaling a few people to calm down. Then another woman came out with a jar of wine, and took some glasses and put them down. The woman smiled and said, "The special good wine made by the small shop, I still want to drink it after drinking it." ”

The red hairpin turned the purple gold mirror, and the woman was clearly a skeleton, and then looked at the wine jar, which was clearly a jar of black and red blood. Da Yuan stretched out his hand to take the cups, poured them one by one, and said with a smile: "There is wine and meat, let's taste it." ”

The woman stood in front of everyone and said with a smile, "Distinguished guests, please use it slowly." ”

Da Yuan pretended to take a sip, and said, "Why don't you see your shopkeeper?"

The woman laughed and said, "We, the shopkeeper, have come, and we want to drink with you?"

As she spoke, she raised the jug and poured wine for several people, but when she saw the wine overflowing from the glass, the woman was still unconscious, and the wine flowed to the ground.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and a bewitching woman walked over with a twist, the woman glanced at everyone's wine glasses, shook her fan and said coldly: "Isn't the slave's wine delicious?"

Da Yuan tilted his head and looked at the purple gold mirror in Hongchai's hand, his face immediately changed, and a goblin was reflected in the mirror, with hair on his body, a tail behind him, and a pointed mouth, which was a black raccoon. The goblin who was ordered to be killed was here, and Da Yuan's heart immediately raced.

The black raccoon also tilted his head to look at the purple gold mirror a few times, and suddenly asked, "Is it the demon mirror?"

The four of them immediately stood up, took two steps back, and stared vigilantly at the bewitching woman in front of them. The woman chuckled a few times, and then disappeared in a flash. The four of them were stunned for a moment, and then they saw two identical women suddenly appear behind the four of them, and they picked up a short axe and slashed at the backs of the four people.

Da Yu hurriedly avoided it, but saw that the woman's figure suddenly appeared four figures, all of them carrying axes, slashing at the four people. Then, in the blink of an eye, eight more figures appeared in the goblin. Seeing that in the blink of an eye, there were more than a dozen women, all carrying axes and slashing at the four of them.

Seeing three or four axes slashing towards Qingping from several directions, Qingping dodged three, but the last one didn't have time to dodge anymore. Qingping's face turned pale with fright, and he watched the axe slash at his body. At this time, the axe and the woman's arm passed through Qingping's body like a shadow, and Qingping was unharmed. Da Yu was stunned and understood that there were all phantoms among the dozen or so women.

Seeing more than a dozen figures surrounding the four of them from all directions, although they knew that most of the dozen figures were phantoms, the four of them still avoided one after another, because the true body of the goblin must be among them. All four of them had their faces discolored, and if this continued, after a long time, all four of them would have to die under the axe sooner or later.

Da Yuan dodged a few axes, and as soon as he reached out, he found a wooden box from his arms, which was purchased from the hands of the Wuyuan Dao people. Da Yuan took out the demon slaying talisman, transported his mana, stretched out his fingers, and the spirit talisman suddenly dissolved, and at the same time, a small sword with a radiant light appeared, and flew out on its own.

The little sword passed through the two figures, stirring up a cloud of blood in the room. Suddenly, a dozen or so women disappeared, leaving only a black tanuki frozen motionless, the small sword stuck in the black tanuki's forehead, and the woman and the boy turned into bones and scattered all over the ground. Then the light of the little sword flashed, and it entered the black fox spirit's body, and the black fox spirit let out a miserable long cry, and fell down at once, tightly shrinking into a ball.

As soon as the black tanuki died, the whole inn showed its original appearance, just as it was seen in the demon mirror, the counter was full of white bones and stumps, the wooden table had turned black and red, and the inn had slaughtered many passers-by.

Da Yuan looked at the three of them again, Qing Xi's face was pale, and he was still a little distracted, Qing Ping soothed Qing Xi twice, and he took a long breath. The red hairpin was better, his face was not shocked, and he hugged his fist at Da Yuan and said: "Daoist friend Da Yuan, thanks to your shot, otherwise it will be broken." ”

Da Yuan said politely, and Qing Ping asked curiously: "Da Yuan Daoyou, what kind of spell did you use just now, you solved the goblin at once, it's too strong." ”

Da Yuan snorted, and secretly felt proud in his heart, this demon subduing talisman was so powerful that it exceeded Da Yuan's own expectations. Da Yuan remembered that in the gambling game of the Songfeng Inn, those people were eager to take advantage of the Easy Order, and Hua Ling took the initiative to stick to herself, no wonder this was the case, it was all because the demon slaying talisman of the Wuyuan Dao people was powerful.

Seeing that Da Yuan smiled silently, Qing Ping's curiosity was even stronger, and he couldn't help but ask again, or Hongchai relieved Da Yuan and said: "Qingping, our cultivators are the most taboo to explore other people's sect exercises, many sects have strict rules, don't make Da Yuan Taoist friends embarrassed." ”
