Chapter 8: Exorcising Demons and Evils It turns out that the bodies of evil spirits are also hot. …
The moonlight was dim, and the night wind blew intermittently, sobbing and complaining. Hongzhu was running wildly in the woods with a cane.
I hope that terrifying existence will choose to chase the viper... She kept repeating this in her mind, with more and more cold sweat on her forehead.
She could feel... that terrifying aura getting closer and closer.
It was chasing her!
Well, firstly, she was a living person, and secondly, she was injured and had a strong smell of blood. In the eyes of that terrifying creature, she was probably much more noticeable than a viper.
Hongzhu panted heavily, looked down at his broken leg and the bloody marks scratched by thorns and leaves, gritted his teeth, and stopped.
If she were to fight against the viper, there was a possibility that both would suffer losses, but she had no confidence at all against that terrifying existence.
In this case, we might as well pass the information back to the Monster Hunting Bureau first. If the bureau sends someone over, we won’t be completely in the dark.
Having made up his mind, Hongzhu sat down on the spot, took out a stick of incense and lit it directly.
"The Fugui is good at the art of nightmare and plotting to steal people's hearts. Ordinary methods of breaking it are of no use. We must find someone who specializes in this art... There is another great terror in the mountain. Its shape is unknown. It is silent and without any signs. It is frightening and difficult to deal with. The only way is to ask the Taoist recorder for advice..."
While she was mumbling to herself, a tall shadow walked over from behind her.
Because of the mischief caused by the monsters, no one has walked on the mountain path for a long time and it is overgrown with bushes and weeds.
However, as the tall shadow moved, these wildly growing plants spontaneously fell to the sides, obediently making way for a flat path.
Why are you still awake late at night and reciting the text here?
Li Zhou stood behind the girl in red, thinking doubtfully.
She leaned forward to look in front of the girl, and saw only a burning incense stick and a red dot that was particularly conspicuous in the darkness.
Reciting a book into the incense? Is this some kind of magic that can put knowledge directly into the brain?
Li Zhou was still watching with great interest when the incense stick in the red-dressed girl's hand suddenly tilted and broke by itself.
Was it blown off by the wind?
Li Zhou thought with regret, wondering if it would delay the girl's business.
Hongzhu looked at the incense stick that broke before he could finish speaking. He was startled at first, and then his heart began to beat violently like a drum.
The fact that Xinxiang cut off her tail to survive undoubtedly meant that the terrifying existence was nearby.
But she didn't hear any sound. Even a viper couldn't do that.
Is it really a great terror that she cannot resist at her level?
She closed her eyes and glanced beside her quietly. Sure enough, she saw a huge shadow. She didn't know when it came or how long it stayed beside her.
At this moment, Hongzhu's palms were covered in cold sweat and he hardly had the strength to turn around.
Fortunately, the key information had been sent out, so her death was not in vain.
Hongzhu took a deep breath, a look of determination appeared on his face, he turned around suddenly with his left hand forming a sword with his fingers together and holding a talisman in his right hand.
The moon hidden in the clouds came out at some point, and the moonlight illuminated the scene before us brightly.
In her eyes, a face as cold as jade was reflected.
Hongzhu, who was determined to die, stared blankly at the cold-blooded swordsman in front of him.
She was dressed in a moon-white robe and carried a simple sword on her back. She had a dignified appearance, a frank expression, and clear eyes. The moonlight drew a halo around her, which made her temperament more noble and her spirit more unrestrained.
Meeting her gaze, the swordsman nodded slightly and asked gently, "Have you ever seen a snake demon?"
Hongzhu quietly put down the hand holding the talisman, glanced at the huge shadow slowly receding on the ground, and spoke calmly amidst the sound of his own intense heartbeat, "Are you here to subdue the viper, too?"
It turns out that this kind of snake monster is called a viper.
Li Zhou nodded, noticing Hong Zhu's broken leg and the Taoist robe she was wearing. He was startled. Had she fought with the snake demon before?
Could it be that those classical Chinese words just now were also used to deal with the snake monster?
She said, who would go to the mountains in the middle of the night to recite a text?
"Master, is there any way to catch up with the snake demon? Although I am just an ordinary person, I am willing to help subdue the demon."
A mortal man, exorcising demons and monsters...
Hongzhu glanced at Li Zhou's shadow again and found that the huge shadow had completely retracted and was lying obediently at the feet of the female swordsman as if nothing had happened.
The corners of her mouth twitched, and she thought to herself, could it be that this person is just bored and dressed up like this for fun?
No matter what, she didn't turn against him, so he still had a chance of survival.
Hong Zhu said cautiously, "Vipers are good at hiding their tracks. I'm afraid they have already fled deep into the mountains and will not show up easily."
Li Zhou was in a hurry to slay the demons and monsters: "Master, is there any way to find it?"
Red Candle: "I can give it a try, but after I find it..."
Li Zhou followed Hong Zhu's troubled gaze and looked at her broken leg. After a moment's thought, he understood and said, "Don't worry. I can handle it by myself."
That is, who dares to doubt your strength.
Hongzhu just wanted to confirm how far this person's game would go.
Fortunately, she didn't plan to stop until she subdued the viper.
Hongzhu breathed a sigh of relief, took out three copper coins from his arms and threw them on the ground.
After throwing it six times in a row, she calculated for a while and said confidently, "Follow me."
Li Zhou followed the limping Hongzhu for a while, then he became a little impatient. He weighed Hongzhu's weight, walked forward, and picked her up.
Hongzhu was almost scared to death, thinking that she was too lazy to pretend to be a human anymore and was going to reveal her true face.
Feeling herself lying steadily in a warm and strong embrace, she was suddenly startled and thought to herself, it turns out that the evil spirit's body is also hot.
"You show me the way, and I'll carry you."
Li Zhou said this as he ran wildly.
She walked quickly, and in a short while, she had crossed half of the forest and arrived at the entrance of a cave.
That's it?
Li Zhou put down the red candle, raised her head and sniffed. She smelled that familiar fishy smell in the air.
"Wait for me here."
Li Zhou said something to Hongzhu, pulled out Zhi Beiyou, and walked into the cave.
The cave was pitch black, but fortunately she was an expert swordsman and the sword energy emitted a faint light that illuminated the road ahead.
Xiaobei is really useful, it can be used as a weapon and a flashlight.
Li Zhou praised him in his heart, and Zhi Beiyou seemed to sense his master's approval. The sword trembled slightly, becoming brighter and illuminating a wider range.
The white skeletons that came into Li Zhou's sight made him realize that Hong Zhu had indeed found the right place.
Hearing the sound of cricket pupae from deep in the cave, Li Zhou quickly quickened his pace and became more alert to avoid being attacked by the viper or letting it escape.
Soon, she saw the shape of the viper. The slender, clothed long snake was desperately digging a hole to the other side. Its scales exploded one by one, and there was a large pool of water under its body.
Is this some kind of magic?
Li Zhou decided to strike first, and immediately drew his sword, swung Zhi Beiyou towards the viper.
The sword energy was like a white silk thread, cutting through the entire darkness.
The viper suddenly turned around and saw the overwhelming worms. Its already narrow vertical pupils narrowed into a slit and its forked tongue made a hissing sound.
If Li Zhou understood snake language, he would know that it was screaming: "Help! The evil spirit is coming!"
The viper wrapped in human clothes tried to imitate a human very well, but in front of an evil spirit like Li Zhou, it couldn't help but peed its pants in fear like a human.
