Chapter 42 The Demon Exorcist Doesn’t Exorcise Demons (2)
Oops!
Shi Sui was filled with black lines on her face.
This was the first time she used her inherited magical powers. She originally just wanted to change the color of the water in the city lord's teacup to scare him, but she lost control and used too much force.
She didn't know what went wrong that caused such a dangerous thing to come out!
What else can I do? I released the snake myself, so I have to get rid of it myself.
Shi Sui drew the demon-slaying scimitar from her waist, took two steps forward, and cut the black snake in half with a single stroke!
The black snake screamed, and under Shihui's knife, it turned back into a pool of tea.
The maid, who had been screaming in fear, finally managed to calm down.
Shisui also wiped the cold sweat from her forehead guiltily.
There are risks in showing off... But it can be considered a blessing in disguise. The trick I just used to transform into a living snake just happened to scare the city lord, a fence-sitter, half to death.
"Master Demon Exorcist!" The city lord pulled his son Bu Yuchuan to kowtow to Shi Sui, "I apologize for any offense I caused you. Please forgive me! Please forgive me!"
Hello...
You guys change your attitude so quickly.
Forget it, don't worry about it.
After a few flashy moves, Tokiho put the scimitar back at her waist...
…
After a long period of turmoil, Shi Sui finally met the owner of the obsession she had felt - Princess Wenzhu, the city lord's sister.
She was lying weakly with her eyes closed, and she did not respond to any calls from the outside world. Only the faint rise and fall of her chest could prove that she was still alive.
Although Princess Wenzhu has white hair and wrinkles on her face, it can still be seen from her beautiful and deep facial features that she was a stunning beauty when she was young.
"My sister never married because of a great demon. She's suffered heartbreak for years, and depression has turned her into a disease that has left her bedridden! Now she has only one wish: to see that demon again!"
The city lord sighed and told Shisui the past of Princess Wenzhu.
According to his account, when Princess Wenzhu was young, she was bewitched by a male fox demon with profound Taoism skills who could transform into a human form.
The fox demon's name is Jiuyun.
She secretly agreed to spend her life with him, but after a night of love with Princess Wenzhu, Jiuyun just left.
It has been forty years since I left.
Princess Wenzhu leaned against the window every day and waited and waited, from her black hair to white hair, from her beauty to her old age, until now when she is on her deathbed, but she still has not waited for Jiuyun to come back.
Bu Yuchuan gnashed his teeth and echoed, "My aunt is now completely dependent on medicinal herbs to stay alive every day. She is in excruciating pain. Master Exorcist, please help us find that treacherous fox demon, seal him, and bring him back to confess his guilt before my aunt!... I really don't want to see my aunt suffer any more."
The father and son exchanged words, vividly depicting the bloody story of a ruthless monster who raped a love-struck old princess.
Shi Sui did not answer, but took Princess Wenzhu's skinny hand out from under the quilt and held it.
She closed her eyes and tried to feel her obsession...
Princess Wenzhu's heart was on a fiery red nine-tailed fox demon. After transforming into a human form, Jiuyun was tall and handsome, with extraordinary skills and a pair of very beautiful golden eyes.
But Princess Wenzhu's memories differed somewhat from what the city lord and his son had said...
It is true that Princess Wenzhu misses the Nine Cloud Fox Demon, but Shi Sui can't feel any hatred or resentment from Princess Wenzhu towards him. Instead, he feels worried about his safety!
Unfortunately, Princess Wenzhu was in critical condition and her consciousness was weak. The information Shisui could obtain from her was limited, and there were no more clues.
Princess Wenzhu's incomplete subconscious, and the solemn confession of the city lord and his son...
Of the two, who should she believe?
Shi Sui curled the corners of her mouth.
This question does not require any thought.
Of course I believe Princess Wenzhu.
People can confuse right and wrong and call a horse a zebra with their mouths, but their subconscious mind will never lie.
After making up her mind, Shisui shifted her gaze away from Princess Wenzhu.
Suddenly a ray of golden light entered her eyes.
Is it the sunset?
wrong.
The place where she was sitting was just right for her to see the distant scenery through the narrow window.
At the junction of the yellow sand and the sky, gusts of wind and sand were rolled up, like smoke rising from the flat ground, swirling and running across the desert, and the sound of shrill howling of the wind could be heard.
Bu Yuchuan took the initiative to come forward and talk: "Master Exorcist, you should know this, right?"
Tokiho’s inner thoughts: ???
"That's the fox demon's lair, also the largest demon colony in the Western Regions, the Jinge Desert. Every evening at this time, the demons are most active." Bu Yuchuan seemed to be trying to elicit Shi Sui's words, "My Lord, you should be very familiar with the habits of demons."
Shi Sui rolled her eyes at him. "General, you've lived in the Western Regions, and you've only seen the monsters here. Perhaps you don't know that monsters all over the world are different?"
Despite being criticized, Bu Yuchuan still had a half-smile on his face.
Somehow, compared to the city lord's master of changing faces, Bu Yuchuan, who was like dough that could not be kneaded or flattened, made Shi Sui feel more unhappy.
…
Shisui stayed in the guest room of the city lord's house that day.
At night.
The wind outside the house was howling, and the strong wind mixed with coarse sand and dust hit the wooden windows, making Shi Sui's head buzzing and hurting.
She felt that the entire Huitou Village was shrouded in an inexplicable and strange atmosphere, which made her feel uncomfortable all over and extremely uncomfortable.
Jin Yuchuan and his son obviously hid some truth from her.
Shi Sui decided to go outside to find out the real situation of Huitou Village in person.
She put on her gear, opened the window and sneaked out.
Just as she expected, because of the strong wind, Huitou Village looked like a deserted city at night.
Every household locked their doors and windows, and there was not a soul in sight on the streets.
But this was exactly what Shisui wanted, as she could move around without restraint.
Shi Sui half-closed her eyes, jumped from the roof of one house to another in her nightgown, and observed the layout of the entire Huitou Village in the terrifying wind and sand.
From her high vantage point, she could clearly see which area had the most people and which houses were uninhabited.
The houses in the city are densely packed, and there are several abandoned old city walls in the middle. It can be seen that Huitou Village has gone through several rounds of expansion before it developed to its current size.
It is not easy when resources are scarce and it is close to the monster's lair.
As Shisui was sighing from the bottom of her heart, she suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps and the shouts of several men and women coming from far away on the empty street.
Who is it? ! !
