Chapter 64 The Three Stooges
Li Chuan was also a little surprised to see Wu Kong arriving so quickly.
Wukong saw his doubts and said: "I happened to be drinking tea in the tea house. I saw Gong Er sneaking around, so I followed him. When he left Yunqiao Township, I called him loudly, When I asked him what he was doing, he was frightened, and then told me, you want to find me. What, you have figured it out and plan to go with me to succumb to the demon?”
“No, no, I have. I'll ask you for anything else." Li Chuan looked into the room. There was no sound. The man was probably asleep.
He told Wu Kong what happened in Qingfu Village and Chunli Village, and then said: "These two villages are not far from Yunqiao Township. The monster is coming, that is, San Five days.”
Wu Kong felt that Li Chuan was a little over-cautious. He said: "There is a large formation blocking the outside of Xuanshui Mountain. Not many monsters can escape, and most of them are injured. I looked at the snake monster and chose the night. He struck while he was soundly asleep. It can be seen that the injury was serious and he had to eat human flesh and blood. Since the village has been alerted, I believe that the snake demon will not dare to come again. Even if he comes, he may not be able to get rid of it. "
< br>Wukong added: "Besides, it is estimated that not many of the monsters on Xuanshui Mountain are dead. Once the Qintian Supervisor is free, he will start to deal with these fish that have slipped through the net. In addition, the county warden has issued a reward notice." , I don’t know how many monks who are short of money are hunting them secretly. I estimate that the evil will be over in another half month."
As he said that, Wu Kong talked about his business again. Come on, "I'm a scholar, are you really not tempted by this money?"
"Not tempted." Li Chuan replied decisively.
Wukong thought of something and said: "The death of King Black Horn is a great good thing for Chao Bing County. Let's just say that there are copper mines on Xuanshui Mountain. I don't know how much income we can make in a year."
"Tell me, why did Qin Tianjian suddenly attack King Black Horn? He is a great demon with a long history and is a disciple of Wang Xing Sanren. You know Wang Xing Sanren, right?" Wu Kong asked.
Li Chuan shook his head, "I don't know."
"Why don't you know anything?"
"Knowing this, can you make me the number one scholar?" Li Chuan has already He used his identity as a scholar very skillfully, and then asked: "Who is Wangxing Sanren?"
Wukong replied: "Wangxingsanren is a casual cultivator who once served as a national teacher during the reign of Emperor Liang Wen of the previous dynasty. , and at the same time, he and the Taizu of this dynasty also had the title of master and disciple. Because of this relationship, the black-horned monster took over Xuanshui Mountain as its queen, and actually bypassed Xuanshui Mountain in several large-scale monster exterminations. "
Li Chuan remembered that King Black Horn was the mount of General Golden Halberd of the previous dynasty.
Headache.
Li Chuan decided not to think about these big shots. It was more important to solve the immediate crisis first. He said, "Master Wu Kong, do you have any way to kill the snake demon?"
Wukong shook his head and advised Li Chuan: "You just heard about the snake demon. We don't know what it looks like, what its strength is, and where it is now. What's more, even if you kill the snake demon, There is no guarantee that there will be other escaped monsters causing trouble. It would be better to wait until the monster disaster is over and ask your friends in Qin Tianjian to send an official monk to guard it. That would be more appropriate. If you are still afraid, why not stay with me at Chongfu Temple for a few days and come back after the evil disaster is over?" Wukong suggested.
"I'm not too worried about myself." Li Chuan told the truth.
If a monster really comes, he will ride on the other side and run away far away. It is always possible to save his life. Wu Kong suddenly looked behind him, and Li Chuan also turned around and saw Tong Luo standing against the door.
“Brother Tong, why are you up?” Li Chuan asked.
Tong Luo said: "I just heard someone talking outside, so I got up and took a look. I heard what you said."
Then he added: "I have dealt with that snake demon. Although his snake skin is hard, it is far from invulnerable. Ordinary arrows can penetrate his body. As long as I can hold him for a moment, let me If you use an arrow to snake his eyes, you might be able to get rid of him."
Li Chuan told Wu Kong that Tong Luo was good at archery.
Wukong's expression became serious. After thinking for a moment, he said: "We can find a few places to set traps around, pour oil and sulfur in them, and wait for the monster to appear, then lure him there. In the trap, it's not impossible to smoke their eyes, beat them with knives and sticks, and shoot them in their vital parts..."
"But..." Wu Kong thought of something else, "Ordinary Even if monsters have been blessed for a hundred or two hundred years, this method can still work, but many monsters on Xuanshui Mountain have learned spells and even have magic weapons, so it will be much more difficult to deal with them. "
Planning. At this point, Li Chuan felt relieved and said: "That's it, Brother Tong, you go back and rest quickly, and get well and work as soon as possible."
He then said to Wu Kong: "Master Wu Kong, if you are here to help us get rid of the monsters, we will pay you regardless of whether the monsters come or not. If they really come, after you kill the monsters, you can take the monster corpses with you." Go get the silver reward, it’s all yours.”
Wukong thought about it and felt that this business was possible, so he agreed.
Tong Luo suddenly said coldly and quietly: "In the past, when King Black Horn was here, everyone knew that there were monsters on Xuanshui Mountain, and it would not have any impact on their lives. Now it is said that King Black Horn died. But there was a monster disaster."
Wukong immediately retorted: "How can you think so? Monsters can eat people, but they were hidden in the past, and they took up such a big area. How many people in a mountain range have lost their livelihood and died of poverty and disease? This time the court has taken action to completely remove this cancer, and the people around it will be able to live in peace."
"But. The people who are dead now are all my relatives, brothers and friends..." Tong Luo concealed the hatred in his eyes, "I must avenge this, even if he escapes to the ends of the world, I will not let him go."
After Wu Kong left, Li Chuan looked at the moon in the jar for a while and felt that the night wind was a little chilly. He yawned and said to Tong Luo: "Okay, okay, go to sleep. Maybe the snake demon will... I have been caught by the people from Qintian Prison and made into snake soup.”
Nothing happened all night.
The next day, Li Chuan went to Zhang Yuanwai's house again and told him about monk Wukong. Zhang Yuanwai immediately said that he would pay for the money, and said that if you need anything, just tell him.
So the sulfur and realgar were found, and Tong Luo also got a new bow and arrow.
In the following days, refugees continued to come to Yunqiao Township. From their mouths, they learned that the snake demon seemed to have gathered some scattered monsters, and it emptied every village it saw.
Li Chuan felt something was wrong, but he could not contact Zhu Qingyun now, so he could only work hard to strengthen the defense of Yunqiao Township.
