Chapter 648: Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio - Fairy 20
In order to save money, Zhiqiu Yiye insisted on staying in the dilapidated temple. Since the dilapidated temple did not belong to Ruyi, Ruyi had no reason to drive him away. What's interesting is that because of Zhiqiu Yiye's arrival, Hu Meiniang sent more little monsters to monitor Ruyi.
The little monsters during the day had been dealt with by Ruyi. At night, just as Ruyi closed his eyes, a new wave of little monsters came again. This time, before Ruyi went out to deal with them, Zhiqiu Yiye suddenly sensed the evil spirit, sat up abruptly, took out talisman paper from his backpack, and walked to the door vigilantly.
Seeing Ruyi just sitting there without any reaction, Zhiqiu Yiye became anxious: "Hey, why are you still sitting there without moving? Don't you smell such a strong evil aura?"
"Is it strong?" Ruyi didn't understand. How could this demonic energy be considered strong? "It's just a hundred-year-old demon. It's not dangerous. It will be the same if we deal with it tomorrow morning."
"A hundred years... and still a small monster?" In today's world, it only takes about ten years for ordinary monsters to transform into human form, and fifty years to deceive humans. Ordinary humans can't deal with them at all. A monster of a hundred years or more can kill the population of an entire village.
For Zhiqiu Yiye, a hundred-year-old monster is already considered a big monster that is difficult to deal with.
Zhiqiu Yiye held the talisman in his hand, and did not dare to step out of the temple easily. He just stood by the door, staring closely at the direction where the evil spirit was the strongest. He had made up his mind that as long as the monster dared to come in, he would use the talisman to deal with him. It would be best if the monster was scared and dared not to come in.
Seeing that Zhiqiu Yiye did not rush out to do it rashly, Ruyi did not care about him anymore and closed his eyes to rest. The little monster Huang Liulang outside the temple stared at Ruyi's reaction in the temple with trembling body.
These days, the little monsters on the Qingshan Mountain have disappeared mysteriously one after another after being summoned to Guobei County by the ancestor. Even Huang Liulang, who trusts the ancestor, has begun to doubt.
After secretly inquiring, I finally heard the truth about the disappearance of the little monsters from the mouths of other little monsters. The other little monsters said that those disappeared little monsters were sent by the ancestor to keep an eye on the woman in the ruined temple, but they were discovered by the woman and killed.
Huang Liulang was terrified and delayed for a few days but ultimately failed to escape. After the other little monsters disappeared one after another, the task of surveillance was finally assigned to Huang Liulang.
Huang Liulang did not dare to refuse the ancestor's arrangement. After all, his parents and family were still in the ancestor's hands, but he did not dare to approach the ruined temple. He could only hide in the distance and stare at Ruyi like he was doing now.
Huang Liulang had always thought that those little monsters that were killed were killed because they were not well hidden and were discovered by Ruyi. Seeing that Ruyi did not come out but went to rest, Huang Liulang breathed a sigh of relief, "Great, she didn't find me."
As for Zhiqiu Yiye, Huang Liulang didn't take him seriously at all. Looking at the talisman paper in Zhiqiu Yiye's hand, Huang Liulang laughed disdainfully, "Who can be hurt by this level of talisman paper? If it weren't for that woman, this delicate little Taoist priest would be mine."
Huang Liulang couldn't help licking his lips when he said this. Because of his ancestor's affairs, he hadn't eaten a young woman for a long time. Although this little Taoist priest was a man, he was young and should taste good.
Zhiqiu Yiye didn't know that he was already a dead man in Huang Liulang's eyes. He couldn't help but shudder and continued to guard the door. Seeing Ruyi sleeping soundly in the temple, Zhiqiu Yiye laughed proudly: "Huh, if I, Zhiqiu Yiye, hadn't been here to guard, how would you have the chance to sleep so peacefully?"
The next morning, the monster who was to take over from Huang Liulang arrived. The newcomer, Bai Sanniang, walked tremblingly in the grove in front of the ruined temple, calling Huang Liulang's name in a low voice: "Huang Liulang, are you still there? Huang Liulang..."
"Bai Sanniang, are you here to take over?" Huang Liulang appeared in front of Bai Sanniang with a 'whoosh' sound, which scared Bai Sanniang. She looked at the intact Huang Liulang in surprise, "Huang Liulang, you're okay!"
All the monsters who had come to take over the shift before disappeared. Bai Sanniang thought that Huang Liulang would be the same as those monsters. She didn't expect that Huang Liulang would be fine this time.
"Haha, of course I'm fine." Huang Liulang was very proud, "I deliberately changed my hiding place last night, and that woman didn't find me."
"Wow--" Bai Sanniang exclaimed in admiration, "Huang Liulang, can you, can you point out a location for me too, I..." Bai Sanniang naturally did not want to die. Since Huang Liulang could find a place to hide without being discovered by Ruyi, then she would definitely be able to hide without being discovered if she hid there.
"Well..." Huang Liulang was unwilling to tell Bai Sanniang about that special 'good' position. "I can tell you, but what can you give me?"
"I have a..."
After staying up all night until dawn, Zhiqiu Yiye finally couldn't stand it anymore. When he saw Ruyi wake up, he yawned and said to Ruyi, "It's dawn, it's your turn." Then he lay down. In less than a minute, Zhiqiu Yiye began to snore. Ruyi didn't care. After a simple wash, he released his spiritual sense to "see" the area within a five-mile radius of the ruined temple clearly.
Huang Liulang and Bai Sanniang are still in the "handover". Ruyi can't really let Huang Liulang leave like this. If the monsters like Hu Meiniang misunderstand that she no longer kills monsters, then they may not send monsters to follow her in the future, or at least there will be only one monster left here today.
This is a huge loss for Ruyi. Thinking of this, Ruyi didn't waste any more time and flew directly over Huang Liulang. While the two monsters were still bargaining, he threw a wind blade at them. The two monsters couldn't dodge in time and were cut in half by the wind blade.
The demon's blood splashed on the ground, making the already black land even darker. Huang Liulang died on the spot with astonishment in his eyes. Bai Sanniang, who was standing next to her, was not hit in the vital area because she was a snake demon. She was still alive. She opened her eyes and looked around for Ruyi's figure in panic. While searching, she endured the pain, turned into her original form, swam around and hid in the bushes.
Ruyi first collected the ball of light left by Huang Liulang, and then calmly followed the bloodstains on the ground. Soon, she found the half-body of the white snake in a tree hole. When she saw Ruyi, Bai Sanniang was still conscious. She kowtowed desperately and begged Ruyi for mercy.
"Fairy, please let me go. Please, let me go."
"I let you go? Those humans you ate must have begged you in the same way. What about you? Did you let them go?"
Although there are many stories about good monsters in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", based on Ruyi's experience during this period, most monsters in this world rely on eating humans to improve their cultivation. Although Ruyi does not have eyes that can distinguish between good monsters and bad monsters, she can smell whether the breath of these monsters is pure or not.
In the entire Guobei County, there is no monster that does not have the aura of blood. They are all man-eating monsters. Is there any that cannot be killed?
After dealing with Bai Sanniang, Ruyi stayed where he was and absorbed the merits in the ball of light. He did not wait for Ruyi to return to the ruined temple, because Huang Liulang had not returned, and there was no news from Bai Sanniang for an hour, and the new monsters sent by Hu Meiniang and others had arrived as usual.
