Chapter 8 Who is unlucky? [New book, please collect it! ]
The eight-armed man passed away peacefully.
…
When he showed Li Chu his grinning face with eight eyeballs, Li Chu was really shocked.
“It is a blessing for an ant like you to die under my Thousand Spiders Poison! Your soul will become a part of my Thousand Spiders Poison, and I will continue to kill with you! Hehehe, be as scared as you can while you are still alive. The more scared you are, the purer the soul poison you refine will be!”
The eight-armed man screamed cruelly, with a horrible face, a horrible voice, and horrible words. Anyone with a slightly weaker mind might have been frightened to the point of losing their legs.
Maybe he just wanted to prey on fear.
He did exactly what he wanted.
The more Li Chu listened, the more he felt that this monster was quite powerful. If he were to use his magic to attack again, he would probably find it difficult to resist!
With such fear, Li Chu chose to strike first.
With a clanging sound.
Draw the sword and strike it out in one go.
At that second, the eight-armed man, who had not yet finished his lines, suddenly saw the most magnificent scene he had ever seen in his life.
A line from one of the few poems he had ever heard suddenly popped into his mind.
The sword shines coldly...How many states are there?
It's like a dragon descending from the sky or like a strand of silk flying through the air. Is there such a powerful sword energy in the world?
His face with eight eyeballs twisted wildly, and the eight pupils dilated instantly.
At that moment, a somewhat outrageous idea suddenly came to his mind.
I am just a little spider spirit with over a hundred years of cultivation...
What virtue and ability...
I can die under such a sword...
Do I deserve it?
Beyond that, there is some deep confusion.
For example, how could a human being without any Qi fluctuations slash out with such a sword?
Why can I so easily encounter such people on the roadside outside an inconspicuous small town?
Even if this is the retribution for his evil deeds, isn't it a little too exaggerated?
Who is unlucky to be here tonight?
But he didn't have the chance to know the answer, or even finish thinking about the question.
Thousands of words were turned into just two words shouted out from his mouth.
"Misunderstand--"
It was indeed a misunderstanding... I thought he was just a mortal who could be easily dealt with. But to know that it was a character like this, only a fool would jump out and seek death.
It was as if there was a flash of thunder, and the sky between the trees was illuminated by white light for a moment.
The black figure with eight waving arms was swallowed up in an instant.
Li Chu blinked.
Just now... someone shouted that it was a misunderstanding.
never mind.
Just pretend you didn't hear it.
Anyway, hearing that he wants to harvest souls to refine venom, he is definitely not a good monster.
A large amount of experience points gathered on him, and Li Chu was quite satisfied. Although it took some time, the gains from this sword were enough to equal a few days of normal time.
but……
It's really too dangerous.
It’s better to avoid such things as soon as possible.
Although leveling up by killing monsters will increase your internal spiritual power and make your spirit stronger, your external physical strength will not be greatly improved.
Now I am like a high-attack, low-defense output player in the game. Even though I can kill some "weak" evil creatures with one sword, I will still lose my life if I am not careful.
If the eight-armed monster hadn't talked so much nonsense just now, I might have been turned into poison by him.
What if I meet a mute next time?
Thinking of this, Li Chu couldn't help but feel a little scared.
He then made up his mind to find a way to make himself fatter!
…
With the death of the eight-armed monster, the intricate spider webs it had laid within a hundred feet in radius all fell off and turned into ordinary fragile spider silk.
Just as it said, the poison on the silk thread was related to the soul. As its soul flew away, the magic power and poison on the spider silk also disappeared.
Li Chu walked slowly and continued towards Deyun Temple.
He planned to put the monster hunting aside for the time being. The night was a bit uneasy and something might happen if he wandered around outside.
Fortunately, the rest of the journey was smooth.
In the night, the small Taoist temple on the hill was lighting up with a dim yellow light.
That is the light of home.
Li Chu originally told his master that he would not be back tonight, but unexpectedly he came back much earlier than usual.
But it’s the same for the old Taoist priest. His work and rest schedule is very healthy. He works at sunrise and rests at sunset.
Li Chu walked in carefully as usual, nodded to the Three Pure Ones, and returned to his bedroom.
Accustomed to killing monsters at this time every day, he suddenly had some free time and he didn't know what to do.
The nightlife of ancient people was really poor.
But it may also be my own fault.
Think about Chow Tai Fook in Yuhang Town. There are so many flowers and plants now, so it should be very abundant.
But Li Chu always felt that such entertainment could only enrich the space for three to five seconds. After the brief enrichment, there was a deeper poverty.
Poor and needy.
Just then, there was a hurried knock on the door outside.
Ding ding ding——
Li Chu stood up again and went to open the door.
Both Taoist temples and Buddhist temples have the function of accommodating pedestrians. Some night travelers who cannot find an inn or poor people who cannot afford to stay in an inn will choose to stay in a temple.
Deyun Temple also occasionally has it.
He came to the front yard and opened the door.
The person knocking on the door was a middle-aged scholar wearing a brown cloth robe and a long scholar's gown. He had a fair face and no beard, and looked gentle and elegant.
There was a carriage parked behind him. What surprised Li Chu was that judging from the decoration and emblem, this carriage was actually an official carriage.
Usually, one would have to be at least a county magistrate to be equipped with such a car. Since the county seat of Yuhang County was also in Yuhang Town, Li Chu had seen such a car before.
"Young Taoist priest." The middle-aged scholar bowed and said, "My father and I have come here and would like to stay for one night. Is that possible?"
"Please come in." Li Chu nodded and invited the scholar in.
Seeing that he agreed, the middle-aged scholar turned around and called out, "Rou'er."
The carriage curtain was opened, and a graceful woman in a water-blue dress stepped down. Her long hair was as thick as seaweed, and was simply tied up. Her skin was as white as ivory, her face was small, but her facial features were clear, especially her eyebrows and eyes, which were like two clear lakes. In addition, she was tall and elegant, as if a white cloud came out of a mountain.
The woman got out of the car and walked slowly forward. When she saw Li Chu, her beautiful eyes flashed.
Li Chu nodded and said, "It's just that our small Taoist temple is not very spacious, with only two bedrooms. I'll go and squeeze in with Master, so you two may have to stay in one."
"It's okay. We are already very grateful that the young Taoist priest can take us in." The scholar said with a smile.
The two of them waited for a while in the front hall. Li Chu poured them some water and went to make the bed.
He put up a new bed frame in his bedroom, changed the bedding, and quickly tidied it up.
He came to the front hall again to inform the two people: "Sorry for the long wait, the bedroom has been cleaned up."
"Thank you, young Taoist priest." The scholar thanked him again, and then said to the woman, "Rou'er, you go in first."
The woman nodded and walked into the room slowly.
The middle-aged scholar then said to Li Chu: "Please ask the young master to take care of my daughter for a while. At least until noon tomorrow, you can let her leave."
"Huh?" Li Chu was stunned. From the tone of the scholar, it seemed that he didn't plan to stay overnight?
The middle-aged scholar seemed to see his puzzled expression and smiled, "To be honest, I...sigh, I'm afraid I won't live long. If I stay here, I'm afraid I'll get you into trouble. So no matter what, I have to leave. But my daughter is innocent, and I see that you, young Taoist priest, don't look like a bad person, so I feel at ease to entrust her to you temporarily."
Hearing his calm tone, he unexpectedly talked about matters of life and death. Li Chu didn't understand what he meant and could only nod and agree.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a firm voice suddenly rang out in the yard: "I will go with Daddy!"
The woman who had just entered the bedroom came back.
In fact, Li Chu heard her secretly opening the door and tiptoeing back to the front hall. But he didn't expect the matter the scholar had entrusted to him was so serious, and it was too late to remind him.
"Rou'er, silly child." The middle-aged scholar sighed when he saw his daughter coming back, "I received news earlier that they paid a large sum of money to hire the demon from Qingyi Tower to kill me. The eight-armed Shura sent by Qingyi Tower has already said that there is no way I can reach Yuhang Town alive! He will definitely intercept me on the way ahead, so why bother to accompany me to die!"
