Episode 292 Painting Demons
Zhong Tiandao's self-absorbed words had not yet dissipated in the air, and Xue Yunchong suddenly felt a sinister aura, and immediately became alert, looked around, and said, "Everyone be careful, I feel a strange hostility!"
"Indeed, there is a demonic aura!" Zhong Tiandao's nose sniffed like a hound, and he also became nervous, looking around vigilantly.
As soon as Long Shilan heard the word "demonic energy", her body couldn't help but shake slightly, and after calming down, she found that Zhong Tiandao was not aimed at herself, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Long Shilan is a demon, she has lived with humans since she was a child, and she has already been imperceptibly transformed into a normal human being, even if she dies once, the memory in her bones still treats herself as an ordinary person, has human emotions, and lives a human life, so she is very afraid that others will treat her as an alien, and she will not reveal her true identity unless she has to.
"There!" Xue Yunchong suddenly saw a strange-looking figure appear a few zhang away, so he immediately showed his heavenly sword and waited for it.
The uninvited guest who appeared in front of everyone was a humanoid youkai dressed like a play. At first glance, this monster is no different from a normal person's appearance, except that there is a fox-like tail growing behind its buttocks, its face is like a painted shàngqù, and the red piece looks like a monkey's buttocks, and the whole appearance looks very grotesque, and it is even a little scary in this dark woods.
"It's a painting demon!" Zhong Tiandao exclaimed in surprise and clenched the giant axe in his hand.
"Painting demons!" Xue Yunchong secretly screamed in his heart, also with a look of surprise. He has also heard of this kind of monster, but zhīdào is a kind of high-level monster that can help people and kill people invisibly, but he has never seen it with his own eyes, and he has never fought with this kind of monster. At this moment, this painting demon suddenly appeared, which made the unprepared Xue Yunchong's heart shake a little.
"Zhong Tiandao, I finally found you, today is your death taboo!" The painting demon actually pointed at Zhong Tiandao and said human words, the unique voice was as deep and sharp as if it came from the ground, and it was extremely weird.
"You two dodge, this painting demon is coming at me!" Zhong Tiandao slammed the giant axe in his hand and blocked it in front of the two Snow Dragons.
"Destroying demons and defending the path is a matter for those who practice martial arts, how can I sit idly by?" Xue Yun said, "Count me in!"
"Don't worry, none of you can escape!" said the painting demon with a smile.
"This painting demon is not easy to deal with, I advise you not to interfere!" Zhong Tiandao reminded loudly.
"I've decided to get involved. Xue Yunchong said firmly, with a wave of the Heavenly Sword in his right hand, his face was full of anger.
"In that case, be careful yourself, I can't take care of you. Zhong Tiandao said anxiously, "Remember, don't believe whatever happens, this painting demon is the best at creating illusions, as long as you defeat the illusion it creates, it will be easy to deal with it!"
Xue Yunchong remembered them one by one in his heart and said, "Thank you for reminding me, I understand!"
"You guys do it yourself, I'll go first!" Zhong Tiandao didn't finish speaking, and the person had already picked up the giant axe and rushed to shàngqù, and the head of the painting demon slammed down.
Suddenly, the painting demon let out a piercing smirk, which made people dizzy.
Xue Yunchong couldn't help but cover his ears, and the huge feeling of nausea kept coming, almost making him crazy. I don't know how long it took, the laughter stopped, and Xue Yunchong slowly let go of his hands, opened his eyes, and found that he was in a city.
Xue Yunchong clearly zhīdào, he must have entered the illusion under the painting demon cloth, but for a while, he didn't know where he was, what people he would meet, and what happened.
The pedestrians around him were very sparse, and the eyes of passers-by were even more indifferent, as if they all regarded Xue Yunchong as a transparent person, and no one looked at him more.
Although Ming zhīdào is an illusion, he does not think that he is in an illusion at all, because the feeling is too real, more real than a dream. If it weren't for the zhīdào in advance, he wouldn't have suspected that the place he was in was actually a mirror.
Xue Yun rushed aimlessly down a deserted street, and he suddenly felt that this place was becoming more and more intimate, as if he had come by himself. Not long after he walked, he suddenly heard a child's noise in front of him, mixed with the sound of a girl's whimper.
Xue Yunchong hurried to shàngqù, and saw a little girl lying on the ground crying next to a ruined temple on the side of the road. This girl is about six or seven years old, wearing a pink shirt with a pair of white trousers, two small pigtails on her head, beautiful eyebrows and almond eyes, and tender little peach cheeks with some mud and dust.
At this moment, there are two tears rolling in the eyes of this little girl, and her eyes are as clear as water, which is endearing and pitiful. She was crying because a couple of kids her age were throwing rocks at her, calling her a "monster" from time to time.
Xue Yunchong had a sense of intimacy when he saw this girl for the first time, he didn't think much about it, he immediately grabbed the little girl, squatted and helped the little girl up, glared at the children around him angrily, and shouted: "Why are you bullying her?"
"She's a monster!" said one child.
"She doesn't have a mother!" said another child.
"She's a monster without a mother!"
"That's it...... Throw her, throw her"
As a result, several more stones were thrown from different directions.
Xue Yunchong only waved his hand, pushed away all those stones, and shouted angrily: "Get out of here!"
When those little children saw that Xue Yunchong was extraordinary, and their faces showed fierce light, where they dared to stay for a moment longer, they all scattered and ran away.
"Sister, don't be afraid, with me, no one dares to bully you!" Xue Yunchong looked at the red-eyed little girl, patted her little shoulder gently, and comforted her.
"Big brother, thank you......" The little girl said as she wiped her tears with her little hands and choked up.
"Little sister, what's your name?" Xue Yunchong asked softly, "Can my brother send you home?"
"My name is ...... Long Shilan...... I don't have a home ......," the little girl declared herself.
When Xue Yunchong heard the words "Long Shilan", although he had been mentally prepared, his body still couldn't help but tremble slightly, he still couldn't believe that Long Shilan's childhood would appear in the illusion, it stands to reason that he shouldn't have seen Long Shilan's young appearance, why did he appear out of thin air?
Xue Yunchong was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and said to Long Shilan in his childhood: "Why don't you have a home?
After Xiaolong Shilan's nose was sour, she cried again, whimpering and saying, "My father doesn't want me anymore!"
"Is your father's name Long Yingxian?" Xue Yunchong asked as he looked at Xiao Long Shilan with wide eyes.
Xiaolong Shilan stopped crying, looked at Xue Yunchong with teary eyes and nodded.
Xue Yunchong thought to himself: This is obviously inconsistent with reality, Long Yingxian should not have abandoned his daughter, right? Sure enough, the illusion is still an illusion, and he has to find a way to break this illusion. Thinking of this, he picked up Xiaolong Shilan from the ground and said to her: "Sister Long, are you hungry, is your eldest brother going to take you to find food?"
Xiaolong Shilan immediately nodded vigorously, and agreed very happily, and did not resist Xue Yunchong at all.
Just as Xue Yunchong took a few steps with Xiaolong Shilan in his arms, a slightly old but familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Chong'er, where are you going?"
Xue Yunchong was taken aback, hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, he saw his mentor Liuyun Zhenren, whom he respected very much. Even though Ming zhīdào was an illusion and his loved ones were visible, Xue Yunchong was still greatly shaken.
And what surprised Xue Yunchong even more was that there was actually a Ziyun real person Lei Xuan next to Liuyun Zhenren!
"Master!" Xue Yunchong exclaimed.
"Huh?" Liuyun Zhenren glared at Xue Yunchong and blamed, "Why don't you call your uncle when you see you?"
Xue Yunchong really didn't want to recognize an evil Taoist who was inconsistent with what he was looking at and what he was doing and killing innocents indiscriminately as his uncle, but seeing the cold gaze of the master, he could only reluctantly call out to Ziyun Zhenren: "Uncle!"
Ziyun Zhenren's two sharp eyes shot at Xue Yunchong and asked, "Xue Xiōngdì, who is that child you are holding?"
"Does this have anything to do with you?" Xue Yunchong replied disdainfully.
"Chong'er, don't be rude!" Liuyun Zhenren scolded sharply, "Answer the real person's question well." ”
"She is Long Yingxian's daughter, Long Shilan. Xue Yunchong replied.
"Oh, can you zhīdào Long Yingxian have already severed ties with her daughter?"
"I don't zhīdào, even if it is, what?" Xue Yunchong asked rhetorically.
"That's a big problem!" Ziyun Zhenren said sharply, "Are you zhīdào, this girl is a goblin?"
"I'm just zhīdào she's an innocent child, don't be a fool. Xue Yunchong retorted mercilessly.
"Brother, is this the good apprentice you taught?" Ziyun Zhenren sighed and said to Liuyun Zhenren beside him, "I zhīdào He won't listen to me, you quickly order him to kill that female goblin, otherwise it will be a big mistake!"
When Liuyun Zhenren heard this, he said to Xue Yunchong: "Chong'er, it is the mission of our martial arts practitioners to kill demons, how can you tolerate a goblin? Listen to the words of the teacher and kill that little goblin!"
"Master, even if she is a demon, but she is a child after all, can you really bear to attack a little girl who is powerless?" Xue Yunchong said.
"It is to strangle it in the cradle! Otherwise, when it grows up, won't it be a disaster to the people and the world?"
"Master, why are you so confused?" Xue Yunchong resolutely retorted, "Where is your benevolence and righteousness? Even if I am your apprentice, I still have a little conscience, if I want to kill a girl with no evil thoughts, I can't do it!"
