Chapter 27: Who is the demon?(1/2)
At night, the streets are quiet, and the townspeople have gone to bed early.
There was only a black figure stepping high on the roof, and with a few leaps, they arrived at the address where the female immortal lived, the mansion of the mayor Huo Shan.
The black shadow quietly fell in the yard, and he was trying to find the female fairy's house, but when he heard someone's footsteps, he hurriedly hid in the shadows to cover his breath.
During the day, the old man Huo Shan walked to the door of a room alone and knocked on the door: "Master Immortal, are you asleep?"
The lights in the room were bright, and the voice of the female fairy came, "Not yet, what do you want, mayor?"
"I want to discuss with the immortal master how to deal with the corpse of the scorpion spirit."
With a creak, the door opened, and the female fairy came out, "Although the scorpion spirit is dead, his body cannot be discarded carelessly. Let's do this. I will burn his body tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Huo Shan with his hands on his hips, as if he was chasing people away.
Huo Shan quickly said yes and left immediately.
When the female fairy saw the other party leaving, she turned around and returned to the room.
Chen Siyu just walked out at this time, came outside the room, and listened.
This time, he heard something unusual, which made him murmur in his heart.
"You can leave after finishing this vote tomorrow, hehe!"
"That means there are no monks here, otherwise I would have been exposed a long time ago. Some people believe such a simple scam. The people in this town are really easy to deceive." There was a burst of laughter in the room.
"There are so many monsters. Although the friction between people and monsters has increased recently, they are not blatantly sucking people's essence. In the final analysis, you are too ignorant and follow what others say. You can't blame me for this."
It turns out that this female fairy is a female liar!
Chen Siyu secretly said: Is the scorpion spirit in the book in the daytime fake? No wonder he feels weak. He is probably a little demon who was caught by her to make up for her.
However, she could actually turn the little demon into a human form, which was a pretty good spell. Chen Siyu couldn't help but nod.
Seeing that the matter had been clarified, Chen Siyu thought about going back to rest. Although this deception was immoral, it did not cause any casualties. He just defrauded some money, so he was too lazy to take care of it.
Immediately, he jumped out of the fence, preparing to find a place to stay for a night and hit the road again tomorrow.
He searched around the street, but he didn't find any house with lights on. He couldn't help but feel distressed, maybe he wanted to sleep on the street.
Suddenly, he heard an ouch, followed by the sound of someone falling. He walked quickly and saw that it was the person he had argued with during the day.
I saw him covering his buttocks, looking up and letting out a soft sigh.
Then he found a hand on his shoulder and said, "Uncle, what are you doing!"
Suddenly there was an extra hand. He was startled at first. After hearing the sound, he looked back tremblingly and found that it was the young man during the day. Then he felt relieved and said angrily: "Nothing! It's you, in the middle of the night.
They are still roaming the streets.”
Chen Siyu scratched his head in embarrassment, "I just came here today and haven't found a place to live."
The man took two steps back for no reason. Remembering the monsters they talked about during the day that sucked energy, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid of the young man in front of him.
Seeing the fearful look on the other party's face, Chen Siyu knew that the other party had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "Uncle, don't worry, I am a living person, not a monster."
"Who knows! The monster before looked quite normal..." The man still didn't believe it.
"If I were a monster, wouldn't I be discovered by the immortal master during the day? How could I show up so uprightly?"
The man thought for a while, and it seemed to be the reason, but he still looked at Chen Siyu warily, "Then why are you here with us!"
"Didn't I come here to look for relatives? It turned out that I took the wrong route. Didn't I just plan to stay one night and leave tomorrow?" Chen Siyu handed over a piece of silver sincerely.
The man held Chen Siyu's hand and said enthusiastically: "Hey! I knew it during the day. You are definitely not a monster. We are so happy talking to you!"
Chen Siyu suppressed a smile and nodded.
"My name is Li Da, what's your name?"
"Chen Siyu."
"It's very late. I'll take you back to rest first." Li Da pointed to the house in front of him and said.
Chen Siyu was stunned and looked curiously at the second floor of the house next door. It seemed that just now... Li Da fell from there.
He thought that was his home, but it was his home next door.
"Huh? No, isn't Lao Wang next door to you? Why are you going to someone else's house in the middle of the night?" Now it was Chen Siyu's turn to look at Li Da suspiciously.
Li Da felt a little lacking in confidence, "I can't see the scenery well! I went over to take a look because I heard something going on at his house."
Thinking of what he said during the day, Chen Siyu said "oh" in a loud voice.
Li Da blushed, pushed open the door angrily, and walked in.
Because it was too late, Li Da found a room for Chen Siyu and said, "Just stay here for one night. This is where I usually entertain relatives and friends, and it's pretty clean."
Chen Siyu took a look and found that everything should be there. It would not be a problem to sleep, "It's already very good."
After Li Da left, Chen Siyu lay on the bed, feeling a little excited. This was the first time he traveled by himself, and it felt very fresh.
For a while, I couldn't calm down to practice, so I simply covered myself with a quilt and fell asleep.
...
...
...
The next day, when the sky got slightly brighter, Chen Siyu heard some noise outside and couldn't help but rub his head and said, "What's going on? It's so noisy."
When I came to the door, I opened the door and looked outside. It turned out that it was the female fairy who was parading the corpse of the scorpion spirit through the streets. The townspeople passing by were amazed and started talking.
"What do you think this is for?" Li Da also walked to the door and asked curiously.
"Burn it, what else can you do?" Chen Siyu replied casually, then turned around and went back to wash up.
"Don't you go and take a look?"
"I'm not going, I'm not interested." Chen Siyu was already planning to leave later.
"Okay, let me go over and have a look." Li Da obviously liked to join in the fun. Seeing the crowd go away, he immediately followed them.
"Everyone! The immortal master said that this monster must be burned to prevent his body from causing trouble. In addition, the immortal master will also distribute talisman water to us. As long as we drink the talisman water, we will be immune to all diseases and strengthen our health.
"Huo Shan knelt down in front of the female immortal master and said piously.
Lian Yanran was stunned for a moment when she heard Huo Shan's words. Did she say that she would give out talisman water?
Seeing Huo Shan keep giving her looks, she realized that the mayor had probably added it temporarily.
She thought to herself: It doesn't matter, it's just talisman water. She just fooled around and passed it, but she will definitely have to collect more money later. Thinking of this, Lian Yanran smiled, "The mayor is absolutely right,
Although this demon has been eliminated, he has been here for a week after all, and the demonic energy will inevitably affect your bodies, but..."
She lengthened her words and said, "As long as you drink this talisman water, there will be no problem."
The mayor also echoed, and it was obvious that Huo Shan usually had some prestige in the town. The two sang in harmony, and the townspeople rushed forward, just to drink the talisman water first.
Lian Yanran took out a stack of talismans and asked Huo Shan to get water, indicating that she was going to start making talisman water.
Huo Shan nodded in agreement, walked quickly to the crowd, and called a few people together.
When he went to carry water, Lian Yanran took out a few fire charms and stuck them on Scorpion Jing's body. After a while, Scorpion Jing's body began to burn, producing a foul smell.
Soon, Huo Shan came back with a tank of water.
Boom! A jar of water was placed in front of Lian Yanran.
She muttered words, mobilizing the few mana in her body, and then the talisman immediately burned, and then she threw it into the vat.
A burst of white smoke drifted by, and a jar of talisman water was completed.
Huo Shan came close to Lian Yanran's ear and said a few words. Then he saw Lian Yanran nod her head and with a tap of her hand, a ball of talisman water rose up from the tank and she drank it all.
After Lian Yanran finished drinking and expressed that there was no problem, the townspeople rushed forward. Some were holding it with their hands, some were drinking directly with their mouths, some were holding bowls, and some were even holding containers to take back and store. For a while,
The scene was chaotic.
"Hey! Don't step on me! You old Wang!" Li Da saw the old Wang next door holding the widow's hand and stepping on his own foot. His teeth itched with anger.
But there were so many people that he couldn't squeeze in.
"Don't be anxious, everyone, we have everything, we have everything." Huo Shan shouted, directing everyone to line up in order and come one by one.
Under his command, everyone quickly formed a long queue. Everyone was only allowed to drink a small scoop before it was the next person's turn.
Li Da missed the opportunity and had to queue at the end, watching others drink the talisman water. He was anxious but had no choice but to dare to jump in line in public.
About an hour later, he finally arrived at the queue, and saw that the talisman water was almost gone. He hurriedly came forward and scooped up some with a ladle. When he was about to drink, he heard someone ouch.
He looked back and saw many people clutching their stomachs and falling to the ground.
What's going on? He's a little confused.
Turning around, I saw that Lian Yanran's face was a little pale and she seemed to be uncomfortable.
Li Da saw everyone holding their stomachs and rolling on the ground, and he couldn't help but feel a little fear in his heart.
Could it be that a monster has appeared? He looked at the burning corpse, feeling a little hairy, and his legs were shaking constantly.
Suddenly, he noticed something that frightened him even more. Apart from him, there were two people present who seemed unaffected.
