Chapter 12 Invite the Immortal to Eliminate the Demon
In the woods, Xu Chong and other policemen were sitting cross-legged on the ground, eating dry food and drinking water, chatting lively.
Especially the few police officers, when they saw the immortal master wolfing down the dry food, they didn't have the airs of a master of the immortal master. Instead, they were very down-to-earth and felt very friendly.
During the chat, Chen Zhong asked: "May I ask where the immortal master is going when he comes down the mountain this time?"
Xu Chong said casually: "We haven't decided where to go yet! Yesterday, when Yicheng came down the mountain, my master taught me again and again that after I came down, I should punish rapes and eradicate evil, subjugate demons and demons, and do more things to accumulate virtue and do good deeds. So, I'm going to
Let’s go to Liangzhou City first and see if we can find some money on the way. After all, I also have to make a living.”
At this time, the head catcher Chen Zhong seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said: "Since the immortal master came down from the mountain this time mainly to punish rapes, eliminate evil, and subjugate demons, if you don't have a definite place to go, why not come with us to Wu'an County?"
"
Xu Chong was stunned for a moment, "What are you going to do in Wu'an County?"
Chen Zhong said again: "I want to ask the immortal master to eliminate demons in Wu'an County!"
"Exorcism?"
Xu Chong secretly lacked confidence, but he couldn't be timid, "What kind of monster are you getting rid of? Please tell me carefully?"
Seeing the drama in this matter, Chen Zhong hurriedly said: "Two months ago, on Shipan Mountain outside Wu'an County, a tiger demon suddenly appeared, claiming to be the King of Panshan. It often transformed into a human form, sneaked into the houses of wealthy families in the city to do evil, and performed evil spells.
Take away their children."
"In less than a month, this tiger monster has kidnapped eighteen children in a row, and threatened the people in the city to build a shrine for it and worship it three times a day. Otherwise, it will eat one child a day and enter the city after eating.
Catch again!"
Hearing this, Xu Chong frowned, "It's just a tiger demon? Wu'an County is so big, there should be many wealthy families. Logically speaking, they should all have hired the Immortal Master, as well as your county government.
, there should also be an Immortal Master to suppress the Yamen, plus so many Yamen servants, and the strong warriors in the city, how could they not be able to deal with a mere tiger monster?"
"The Immortal Master doesn't know something..."
Chen Zhong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The tiger demon seems to be protected by immortal weapons. It is difficult to hurt it with ordinary magical weapons. Moreover, this demon is proficient in the art of flying sand and moving rocks. After transforming into the prototype, it is extremely powerful. We are not at all."
opponent."
"The county magistrate has gathered the immortal masters, government officials, warriors and strong men in the city three times to go to Shipan Mountain to slay the demons. Each time he came back defeated, especially the last time. Your Excellency almost died. If it hadn't been for the immortal master who fought to the death.
Please save me, the consequences will be disastrous."
I never expected that this tiger monster would be so powerful. The county magistrate and all the immortal masters in Wu'an County failed to subdue it three times.
I know how to spread the beans into an army, but I wonder if I can deal with it?
Although it is said that the more powerful the tiger demon is, the higher the merits you will gain after it is eliminated, but you have to be alive to come back.
Xu Chong was inevitably a little uneasy and was thinking about what excuses he could use to refuse.
Thinking of this, he casually said: "Since that tiger demon is so ferocious, why didn't your county magistrate report it to the Demon Suppression Department?"
"I have already reported it to the Demon Suppression Department."
Chen Zhong shook his head and sighed: "The world is not peaceful now. Bandits are everywhere and demons are causing trouble. The Demon Suppression Department is simply too busy. Besides, although this tiger demon is doing evil in Wu'an County, so far
, no lives have been lost yet.”
"More importantly, the Demon Suppression Department feels that this demon's path is not deep enough to cause trouble, and their demon suppressing envoys have all gone to subdue the big demon, so the county magistrate is required to find a solution on his own."
Speaking of this, he said helplessly: "Half a month ago, several wealthy families in Wu'an County jointly donated a reward of 5,000 taels of silver, hoping to recruit experts to eliminate demons. The results so far
, although it attracted several immortal masters from other places, they all returned without success..."
Originally, Xu Chong was planning to refuse.
But when he heard that there was a reward of 5,000 taels of silver, he immediately started to feel a little moved.
At present, what he lacks most is money.
Five thousand taels of silver, what a huge sum of money!
After coming down from Wufeng Mountain, except for four steamed buns and a change of shabby clothes, I didn't even have a penny on me.
The shoes were so worn that he had no money to replace them.
This is still just the beginning.
If you don't have some money with you, food and accommodation will be a problem in the future.
He didn't want to go hungry every day and sleep in the wilderness, facing all kinds of unknown dangers.
"For the five thousand taels of silver reward, let's go to Wu'an County and give it a try. If you feel you can't deal with the tiger monster, you can just run away in advance. You don't have to die."
When Chen Zhong saw that Xu Chong had not spoken for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, "Xian... what does Master Xian want?"
Xu Chong nodded and said with an upright face: "It is the duty of monks like us to subjugate demons and eliminate harm for the people. Okay, I will go with you to Wu'an County to eliminate demons."
Hearing this, Chen Zhong was overjoyed, "The Immortal Master's magic reaches the sky, and he will definitely be able to subdue the evil spirit. When we arrive in Wu'an County, we can entertain the Immortal Master warmly and give us a chance to repay the Immortal Master's kindness."
Xu Chong knew that he was talking about the long-haired murderer, "Chen Captou said something serious, it's just a matter of effort."
Everyone ate and drank in the woods and rested for a while.
Then several fastmen went to bring some horses over.
The murderer, who was tied into a rice dumpling, was locked on the back of a horse, and then the group left the place and headed towards Wu'an County.
Wu'an County is less than forty miles away from here, and everyone is on horseback. They can reach the county before dark at most.
Xu Chong still asked the four pig killers to carry him on the road as before.
Sitting in the wicker chair, swaying next to the policeman, it was so uncomfortable.
Halfway through, the long-haired murderer let out a low groan of pain, and then woke up faintly.
When he found himself trapped on the horse, he struggled in panic for a while. In the end, he sadly discovered that his limbs were weak and weak, and he had become a complete waste.
After a sad scream, his eyes gradually turned malicious, staring at Xu Chong who was following him, and cursed angrily: "You fairy dog, what kind of magic is this? Why do you keep spreading the beans?"
Xu Chong deliberately approached him and took out a large handful of mung beans from the Qiankun bag, "Did you see that? I have a lot of beans. You had a chance to escape, but the key is that you have to be tough with me? Who is to blame?"
After saying that, he laughed loudly and put away the Qiankun bag, and stopped talking to the murderer.
At this moment, the long-haired murderer looked like a dead dog, his eyes red with anger, staring hard into Xu Chong's eyes, as if he was about to spit out fire at any moment.
Suddenly, regret, anger, sadness, unwillingness... all kinds of emotions came to his heart, and he couldn't help but roared, "Fairy dog, you are so angry at me!"
"puff!"
Suddenly, the murderer spat out a large mouthful of blood and passed out again.
This time, Xu Chong was knocked out by anger.
There were no surprises or dangers along the way.
In the evening, six detectives escorted the murderer and arrived at Wu'an County with the Bean Spreader sitting on a wicker chair.
