Chapter 5: The Rakshasa Woman
This green-faced, fanged "sand fish" is a demon called a rakshasa who specializes in eating people. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Rakshasa is divided into men and women, the male Rakshasa has a black body, red hair, blue eyes, infinite strength, is good at brute force, and can fly; The one Sun Wumao met was the female Rakshasa who could also be called the Rakshasa Woman or Luo Cha Private.
It turned out that from the moment they stepped into this corpse forest, they were targeted by this Rakshasa woman, and in the battle between Sun Wucat and the vulture, the Rakshasa girl saw that he was not his opponent, so she kept peeping in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to strike. Later, I heard Sun Wumao and Sha Wuyu talk about borrowing shells to learn underwater skills, and learned that Sun Wucat didn't know water, so after Sha Wuyu fell asleep, he transformed into Sha Wuyu's appearance and charmed Sun Wumao into the water.
"Ahh
Sha Wuyu saw that Sun Wucat's life was hanging by a thread, and he didn't care about being afraid, so he quickly ran to the river, turned back into the real body of a goldfish, jumped into the river, and frantically bit the body of the Rakshasa girl underwater.
"Ahhh......h
Sha Wuyu was caught off guard, and was slapped on the back by the sharp hook claws of the Rakshasa Woman, scratching off a few golden scales.
Sha Wuyu suddenly felt a pain in his back, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he turned around and swam desperately. Seeing that she was not caught, the Rakshasa followed after her, catching her by the tail several times, but she escaped with a fluke.
After swimming a long distance, Sha Wuyu's physical strength was almost overdrawn, and he thought to himself why this Rakshasa girl was so difficult, it was not a way to swim like this, sooner or later she would be caught, and she had to think of an idea to get rid of her. As he was thinking, he happened to find that at the bottom of the river not far ahead, there was a faint black cave, emitting a faint blue light outward, flickering and flickering, like firelight.
I was worried that I couldn't get rid of the Rakshasa girl, so I might as well go to the cave to see if there was any place to hide, just to see what was going on with the blue light, although it was a bit risky, but there was no better idea than this, so I leaned over and rushed towards the cave.
Seeing that Sha Wuyu had changed direction, the Rakshasa Woman also followed.
Before reaching the entrance of the cave, Sha Wuyu felt a wave of heat rushing towards his face, and as he got closer and closer to the entrance of the cave, the temperature became higher and higher, but fortunately, he could bear it.
Finally reaching the entrance of the cave, Sha Wuyu sped up and plunged headlong into it.
The cave was as hot as a fire, and she looked around, the cave was very large, and on both sides sat the landing platforms, on which were placed all kinds of weapons such as spears, axes, clubs, and swords. In the middle of the two landing platforms, there was a fire pit, in which the blue flames burned, and above the flames hung a bow entwined with blue flames, like a blue dragon.
Presumably, this scorching temperature comes from there, what kind of flame will it be that can burn underwater, and what kind of power will it have?
In this cave full of weapons, there is one piece of furnishings that is obviously out of place in the martial arts training groundโa dressing table on the left, and a bronze mirror on the stage.
Sha Wuyu caught a glimpse of a hollowed-out cabinet door beneath the dresser, just big enough for her petite body to slip into.
At this time, the Rakshasa woman had already chased after her, stretched out her long arm and touched Sha Wuyu's tail, at this moment there was no room for Sha Wuyu to hesitate, she put together the last bit of strength, and quickly got into the cabinet under the dresser.
The gap between the hollows on the cabinet door was so small that the Rakshasa could barely reach in with three fingers and scratch inside, but her arms couldn't reach in, so anxious that she kept barking at the sand fish inside.
The Rakshasa woman was so angry that she was full of strength, and with a wave of her big arm, she smashed the door of the cabinet with a "bang", and Sha Wuyu saw that the situation was not good, so she quickly withdrew from the cabinet and jumped upstream.
It didn't matter if he jumped up, he happened to pass by the bronze mirror on the dresser, and a dazzling golden light shot out of the mirror, sucking Sha Wuyu into it with a "whoosh".
The Rakshasa was stunned by this scene at first, and then quickly came back to her senses, and looked for Sha Wuyu in the bronze mirror, but found nothing except her ugly face in the mirror.
Annoyed, it slapped the bronze mirror to the ground and yelled at it.
It is said that after the Monkey cat was thrown down by the Rakshasa woman, he struggled to climb ashore alone, but fortunately there was a shallow beach at his feet, and the river was not deep, otherwise he would have to drown in it.
He lay on the shore and spat a few mouthfuls, soaking wet all over his body, like a chicken in soup, embarrassed.
"Damn! I didn't expect there to be a Rakshasa girl in this corpse forest!" Sun Wumao spat out another mouthful of water and scolded angrily.
He sat up and touched the back of his head, which hurt a little.
"Huh, what about Sha Wuyu?" Sun Wumao had been pressed in the water by the Rakshasa Girl just now, and he was completely ignorant of what was happening around him, only to find that Sha Wuyu and the Rakshasa Girl were gone.
"Oh no! Could it be that Sha Wuyu lured away the Rakshasa Girl in order to save me, isn't that dangerous!" Sun Wumao looked at the water that had regained calm, and his heart was full of worry.
He took out his master's shoe from his bosom and murmured to it: "Master, master, aren't you known as the seventy-two supernatural powers? Why did you lose your shoes? I can't find any trace of you, were you eaten by the dragon catfish? In order to find you, I went to borrow shells from the skeleton couple to learn the underwater skills, passing by this dangerous corpse forest, Zhu Bagou and his master were lost, and the most infuriating thing is that even my sand and fish were lost!"
The sun rose in the east, the sky was already bright, and the Monkey cat looked for sand and no fish on the shore all night, and did not sleep.
"Wu Mao, I'm back!" A familiar voice came, and Sun Wu Mao looked up, it was none other than Sha Wuyu.
"No fish! it's great!" Sun Wumao was overjoyed, but his face quickly sank again, and he hurriedly took two steps back:
"Stop, are you Sha Wuyu or Rakshasa Woman?"
Sha Wuyu spread his hands and made a very innocent expression: "Wu Mao, I am Sha Wuyu!" Last night I was surprised in my sleep, and found that you were not there, so I looked for you all the way to the footprints, until I found this river, and saw that there was actually a me in the river, I thought it must be a ghost, and lost your mind, so I shouted at you to stop, but you didn't react, so I threw a stone to wake you up. โ
She stepped forward and continued: "Later, the ghost appeared in its original form, and when I saw that it was a Rakshasa woman, I thought that you didn't know water, so I jumped into the river and turned into a real body to tear its body, and it ran to me in unbearable pain, so I attracted it away. โ
"What about the Rakshasa woman, where did you lead it?"
"I was chased by it for a long time, and then I found a cave at the bottom of the river, and there was a bronze mirror in the cave, and I was sucked into it, and the Rakshasa had nothing to do with the mirror, so she left in a rage, and I don't know where she went. I was worried that it would come back to you, so I quickly jumped out of the mirror and rushed back, not daring to delay for a moment, but I didn't expect it to be in time for dawn. Now that you have landed, I am relieved that ten Rakshasa women on the shore will not be your opponent. Sha Wuyu tried to explain.
"A bronze mirror that can suck people in?"
"Well, I got it back. Sha Wuyu held up the bronze mirror, "Oh, look!"
Sun Wumao carefully looked up and down the beautiful Sha Wuyu in front of him, and saw that the clothes on his chest had traces of being torn by vultures, and he was sure that this must be Sha Wuyu. Besides, even if it is a Rakshasa woman, with my agile skills and reaction speed as a cat, she will not dare to go ashore to beg for hardship, Sun Wu thought to himself.
Sun Wumao stepped forward to take the bronze mirror, this is a well-made bronze mirror, the size of a palm, the texture is heavy, the lacquer is bright, the shape of an eight-petal flower, the edge is carved with cloud and thunder patterns, it looks at itself in the mirror, it really can't see any difference from ordinary mirrors, perhaps, it will only play a role when people are in danger.
He turned the mirror to the back and looked at it, and found two lines of inscriptions, one line on which were engraved with three big characters "Huanying Jian", which must be the name of the mirror, and eight small characters engraved on the lower line "Huantian's Shadow, Jiantian's Destiny".
"Since it's already dawn, let's not sleep, I'm afraid that the Rakshasa girl will chase back, let's hurry up the mountain!" Sha Wuyu persuaded.
"Well, I'm relieved that you'll come back unharmed. Sun Wumao returned the mirror to Sha Wuyu, "Thank you for saving me!"
"You also saved me, we don't owe each other, hehe!" Sha Wuyu took the mirror and carried it back into his arms. When Sun Wumao saw that Sha Wuyu remembered that he had saved him, he completely dispelled his suspicions, and was convinced that this was Sha Wuyu who had followed him all the way.
"Speaking of which, I would like to thank this Rakshasa for leading us to the end of this forest, otherwise, maybe we will still get lost in this huge corpse forest, and we may not be able to walk out at dawn. Sun Wumao felt that he had not withstood the temptation of the woman, and fell for the trick of the Rakshasa woman, and he was still transformed into Sha Wuyu, and this little secret in his heart was exposed, and he felt ashamed, so he found himself a step down.
Sha Wuyu nodded shyly in agreement.
The two of them looked at the calm river in front of them, the water was as red as blood and flowed slowly. The river is not very wide, about a dozen zhang, the other side of the river is the Skull Mountain, the lower body of the mountain is bare and flat, the steep mountainside is full of caves, and then the upper part is still shrouded by red clouds, and the top is not visible.
"How do we cross the river?" asked Sun Wumao.
Sha Wuyu thought for a moment and replied: "You still don't want to touch this water, I'm afraid that the Rakshasa girl will hide in the water, you can't water, you can't beat it." โ
"Well, when I borrow the shell and learn the underwater skills, I'll come back and clean it up!" said Sun Wumao indignantly.
He thought about it, looked up at the tall and straight blood bamboo behind him, and had an idea.
He jumped high, stepping back and forth on the left and right side of the blood bamboo, jumping three times and jumping to the top of the tallest blood bamboo. The blood bamboo was swayed back and forth by him, and the amplitude became larger and larger, until a large arc appeared, Sun Wumao scattered the blood bamboo, kicked hard with both feet, and made a few beautiful somersaults in the air with the help of his strength, and his feet landed steadily on the other side of the river, and the dust was everywhere.
He smirked his head and looked back at the sand fish on the other side, and motioned for her to hurry up.
Sha Wuyu smiled at him, moved a few steps to the shore, jumped up lightly, and turned gracefully in the air, facing the sky and turning his back to the water, like a leaping fish, "poof" into the water.
There was a splash on the surface of the river, and a figure came from under the water and clinged to the surface of the water at a rapid speed, jumped out of the water, and landed in front of Sun Wumao.
"Good! wonderful!" Sun Wucat was deeply impressed by Sha Wuyu's underwater kung fu and cheered.
In this way, they crossed the blood-colored river without incident, and stood side by side at the foot of Skull Mountain, looking up at the red clouds that hung over the mountainside.
"Let's go, Skull Hall!"
The backs of the two gradually faded away, and there was a lonely stone plaque lying not far from where they had just landed, half of which was covered by wild grass, and the three words engraved on it were faintly visible: Miyan River.
(Author's note: Guess what, is this Sand Fishless Fish who returned to the shore really a Sand Fish, or a Rakshasa Woman?)
