No...don't do that!!

The young man transformed from the fish demon looked at Chen Xuanzang with horror.

He suddenly stood up and stretched out his arms, trying to escape.

But Du Qian just stood in front of him, and the young man slipped and fell to the ground with a thump.

Du Qian raised his hand and lifted the black cloth, looking at him with a half-smile.

In an instant, a fatal sense of crisis emerged, like a thorn in the back.

The young man's eyes changed from horror to fear, and then to intense despair and unwillingness.

Finally, he silently got up, sat in front of Chen Xuanzang again, and looked at him numbly.

Chen Xuanzang looked pleased and continued to sing nursery rhymes for the young man.

But unfortunately, the young man transformed from the fish demon seemed to have gotten used to this kind of embarrassment and social death. No matter how Chen Xuanzang performed the nursery rhyme, he looked as if he had given up and had no expression on his face.

Du Qian frowned, feeling that he might not be able to complete the task if he continued like this.

He thought for a moment and suddenly interrupted Chen Xuanzang's performance.

"Old Chen, I see you've been singing five nursery rhymes in a row, and your mouth must be dry. Why don't you stop for a moment, drink some water, and take a break?"

Chen Xuanzang was slightly startled, then he smacked his lips twice and nodded, "That makes sense, let's take a break first!"

As he said this, he stood up.

Du Qian glanced at the young man's expression and found that there was indeed an extremely strong hope in his eyes.

Du Qian smiled, then changed the subject and said, "Wait, Lao Chen, I suddenly feel something is wrong. As the saying goes, a journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. You've already sung five songs, so you'd better make the most of it and press on!"

Chen Xuanzang was stunned again, and then sat down thoughtfully.

"That makes sense, I'll sing another one then!"

Hearing these words, the light of hope in the young man's eyes dimmed.

He sat stiffly in the same place, looking at Chen Xuanzang opposite him with despair.

Du Qian raised his hand to stop Chen Xuanzang, then squatted down beside the young man and looked at him with a smile.

“Have you remembered the truth, goodness and beauty in your heart?”

The young man's eyes sparkled again. He nodded vigorously and looked at Du Qian pleadingly.

Du Qian glanced at the system panel and saw that the task was not completed, so he sneered.

"You won't give up until you reach the Yellow River, right?"

"Old Chen, start singing!"

Chen Xuanzang cooperated very well. He cleared his throat immediately and was about to start singing.

The young man had seen the hope of escaping the torture, so why didn't he hold on to it tightly.

He quickly fell to the ground, kowtowed, cupped his hands, and looked at Chen Xuanzang and Du Qian with pleading eyes.

Chen Xuanzang couldn't bear it and couldn't help but stop what he was doing.

Du Qian sighed and whispered, "I know you died unjustly and your grievances are hard to settle, but you have done enough. You killed many of the murderers who participated in the murder. Your demonic power also infected this section of the river, causing the number of fish in the river to decrease. Some large carnivorous fish even turned into ferocious beasts."

"It is foreseeable that the catch of fish in Yulongzhai will be greatly reduced in the future, and the risks will be greatly increased."

"In the long run, the population reduction will be no less than three digits. In the future, they may migrate from here, abandoning their lives and ancestral lands where they have lived for thousands of years, causing Yulongzhai to completely disappear."

"Of course, if you don't want to wait that long, you can think about it carefully."

"Since you showed up, this Yulong Village has spent a lot of money to invite exorcist masters, but one turned out to be a liar, one was a swindler, and the third one was a truly capable exorcist."

"This will happen once, twice, and never three times."

"This is a sign that Yulong Village's luck is being cut."

"Heaven has already sent down divine punishment for your death, giving them the heaviest retribution. Why do you have to waste the rest of your life adding fuel to the fire for this revenge that has already been accomplished?"

Hearing Du Qian's soft words, the young man transformed from the fish monster couldn't help but look stunned.

After a long time, he suddenly bent down and kowtowed three times to Du Qian and Chen Xuanzang with great solemnity.

Just after he kowtowed for the third time, the familiar system prompt finally sounded in Du Qian’s mind.

"bite--"

"Congratulations to the host for completing the story mission [Subdue the Fish Monster], and you will be rewarded with 1 chance to win a high-level lottery!"

Du Qian smiled and said silently in his heart.

"System, I want to draw a lottery!"

"Host, please specify the type of magical power."

Du Qian said excitedly: "Attack-type magical power!"

The system said: "The types of magical powers have been searched, and no attack-type magical powers have been found."

Du Qian's expression froze, and he couldn't help but ask, "What kind of type is that?"

The system replied: "Magic power is divided into active and passive types, which are further divided into aura type, single-body type, group type, directional single-body type, directional group type..."

Du Qian's face was full of black lines, and he felt extremely depressed.

I was careless. I should have asked what type of system it was.

After a little thought, he said in his heart: "Then I'll use an active, directional single-target magical power!"

"bite--"

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the purple magical power [Strengthening one's strengths and making up for one's weaknesses]!"

Du Qian was stunned, and quickly opened the system panel and turned to the magical power column.

[Learn from the other party's strengths and make up for the host's weaknesses: Specify a target. If the other party's best skill is greater than the host's skill, the host will intercept the other party's strengths and make up for its own weaknesses until both parties are equal. ]

[Note: Directional single-target magical power can only designate one target at a time.]

When Du Qian saw the text description below the magical power, he was immediately delighted.

With magical powers like these, the biggest worry is that there are no strong people in the world.

But what world is Du Qian in? This is the world where Buddha and Sun Wukong exist!

As long as he finds an unrivaled strong man and uses the skill of [learning from each other's strengths and making up for each other's weaknesses] to designate the other person, he can immediately match the other person's strongest abilities and become the most powerful man in this world!

"Hey, what are you so happy about?"

Miss Duan's voice suddenly rang in my ears.

Du Qian came back to his senses and saw Miss Duan standing in front of him with her hands on her hips, looking at him in surprise.

Behind Miss Duan, Chen Xuanzang was packing his bags. The young man transformed from a fish demon was standing behind Chen Xuanzang, and seemed to have decided to follow him.

……bad!

I was too excited just now and was absent-minded for a moment, not paying attention to the situation outside.

What is going on? Has Chen Xuanzang already subdued the fish monster?

Du Qian looked at Chen Xuanzang with some surprise, and then couldn't help but cast his gaze at Miss Duan.

If Duan Xiaoxiao is really the incarnation of Avalokitesvara, then when he intercepts Duan Xiaoxiao's strengths, will it affect this incarnation or Avalokitesvara himself?

Thinking of this, Du Qian couldn't help but feel moved.

Relying on the confidence brought by the golden magical power [Avoid the Real and Attack the Virtual], Du Qian is fearless.

He immediately designated Miss Duan and activated his magical power [learning from each other's strengths and making up for one's weaknesses]!

In an instant, Miss Duan's delicate body trembled, and she looked at her body in disbelief.

“This…what’s going on?”

She opened her eyes wide, with a look of fear in them.

"What's going on?"

Du Qian remained calm and asked in a puzzled manner.

After activating his magical power, he sensed a huge amount of magic power appearing out of nowhere in his body.

It turns out that Miss Duan’s greatest skill is not the ability to drive the Indefinite Flying Ring, but the enormous magical power that allows her to use the golden ring at will, and even split it into thousands!

Although this magical power is extremely powerful, it far exceeds Du Qian's own true energy.

But unfortunately, this phenomenon of only being able to steal magical power also means that he can only target Duan Xiaoxiao's incarnation, and cannot bypass Duan Xiaoxiao to attack the Bodhisattva Guanyin behind her.

However, if Du Qian remembered correctly, there should be an incarnation of Tathagata in Hai'an City, right?

That guy is different from Duan Xiaoxiao, he should still retain the Buddha nature of Tathagata.

If he could designate Tathagata and activate [Learn from each other’s strengths and make up for each other’s weaknesses]…

Du Qian's heart moved, and he immediately shook his head decisively.

No! No way!

The skill that Tathagata is best at is definitely Buddhism.

If he really obtained the Buddhist Dharma equivalent to that of Tathagata, perhaps his mind would change.

No, he still has to find someone who can complement his strengths and weaknesses. For example, the leader of the Thirteen Guardians of the Flower-Fruit Mountain, the peerless demon king Sun Wukong, is very much in line with Du Qian's needs and wishes.

At this moment, Miss Duan grabbed Du Qian by the collar and angrily asked, "Why did half of my magic power disappear out of thin air?"

"Is it your barrier that's causing the trouble?"

Du Qian sighed, raised his hand and grabbed Miss Duan's wrist, and used his magic power to forcibly move her palm away. Then he looked at her seriously and said, "Miss, can you use your brain before we talk?"

"How can you touch me if I still have the barrier open?"

Miss Duan was slightly startled, then she realized belatedly and said, "Oh, right, you have already solved the barrier?"

Du Qian let go of his hand and nodded, "Yes, so what happened to you really has nothing to do with me."

Miss Duan frowned tightly, thinking that what Du Qian said made sense, but she also felt that something seemed wrong.

Before she could think about it, Du Qian turned and walked towards Chen Xuanzang, glanced at the young man behind him, and asked with a smile: "Did you subdue it?"

Chen Xuanzang nodded, then shook his head, pointed at himself and Du Qian and said seriously: "We subdued him!"

Du Qian was slightly startled, and a bad premonition emerged in his heart.

As expected, Chen Xuanzang explained with a smile: "The fish demon said that he was completely convinced, so he wanted to follow us on the next journey to travel around the world and eliminate demons and monsters..."

Du Qian's eyes widened and he quickly asked, "Wait, what's the next journey?"

Chen Xuanzang said somewhat embarrassedly: "To be honest, the exorcism mission I'm eyeing is not this one. This exorcism mission is just a practice before I officially become an exorcist."

"Now that I have verified the power of 'Three Hundred Children's Songs', of course I have to..."

"Shut up!" Du Qian quickly stopped Chen Xuanzang.

But unfortunately, the system has already responded.

"bite--"

"Congratulations to the host for triggering the plot mission [Subdue the demon Zhu Ganglie]."

"Mission reward, a chance to draw a golden magical power..."

Hearing the system prompt, Du Qian was stunned, then he sighed and raised his hand to put his arm around Chen Xuanzang's shoulders.

"Well, let's not rest, but we have completed the mission with great effort. Before rushing to the next mission, we should at least go back to the city to save the game, right?"

"Save...save file?"

Chen Xuanzang was bewildered.

Du Qian sighed and said, "I'm just going back to the city to rest... If you don't understand, just ignore it and treat it as me talking to myself."

Chen Xuanzang said quickly: "Oh, I see. Speaking of which, I do need to go back to see Master."

Master...

Du Qian's heart moved, and he asked casually, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, is your Mahayana Buddhism just you two, master and disciple? There are no uncles or uncles, such as the Dragon Subduing Arhat, the Tiger Subduing Arhat, and so on."

"I'm not picky, anything is fine!"
