Chapter 14 A group of demons dance 6

The other party was only fourteen or fifteen years old, with a pretty and tender face. Although he was a half-aged child, his every move was mature and steady, and other villagers obviously followed his horse.

Chen Xiao looked up and down the young man, nodding slightly: "I am traveling downstream, and I am the one who is Guanhai Mountain. If there are any demons who make trouble, I will not stand by and watch."

The villagers looked excited when they heard this, and the boy's eyes lit up and he said anxiously: "To be honest, since last year's rainy season, a big monster has appeared here! Nearly a hundred innocent people have been kidnapped! Please keep the Taoist priest, we are willing to devote the whole village to the goal of getting rid of this monster!"

Other villagers also agreed:

"As long as we can get rid of that monster, we can do anything!"

"We can pay, and if the Taoist priest doesn't need money, we can pay food too!"

"Yes, Taoist priest, as long as you can get rid of monsters, you can just ask for whatever request you have!"

"The Taoist priest is a living god, please save us! My son was kidnapped by that monster, and I don't know what life or death is like!"

"So too, my uncle was kidnapped for half a month, I'm afraid it's a lot of danger..."

…………

Seeing that the crowd was in a state of anger was hard to control, the boy raised his arms and waved his arms and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet! Let's hear what the Taoist priest said!"

He was very prestigious at such a young age. As soon as he spoke, everyone calmed down.

Chen Xiao glanced at the two companions behind him, then his eyes fell on the young man's face again and asked, "The big monster you are talking about is a black spider that can only spit white silk?"

The boy nodded immediately after hearing this, "It's right! Has the Taoist priest met it in the forest? Is that monster dead?"

"Escape." Chen Xiao said, "Actually, we are here to remind you that this spider demon is afraid of strong light and should not come out during the day. We must close our doors and act carefully at night."

"If the Taoist priest can walk out of the forest safely, he must be not an ordinary person! Please help me!" The young man bowed and gave a great gift, "I am willing to offer all my property. As long as I can get rid of this demon, I will return peace to the people in the village!"

The villagers standing behind the boy also saluted one after another. Whether it was the child or the elderly, they all bowed their waists and lowered their heads, just not even kneeling down for Chen Xiao and the other two.

Chen Xiao reached out to help the young man up and said solemnly: "There is no need to give this great gift. Since I have come, I will definitely not sit idly by."

The young man showed joy and bowed again: "Thank you, Master!!!"

…………

At the warm invitation of the villagers, Chen Xiao, Linyuan and Shi Xianyu moved into the village chief's house together.

The leading boy was the village chief’s only son, named Wanji.

Since the village chief was ill and lying in bed, Wan Ji temporarily handled affairs in the village for his father. Because he was a scholar, he had fame and fortune, and was well-organized in handling affairs, he gradually accumulated reputation. Although he did not have a real position, he was no different from a real village chief.

Wan Ji led Chen Xiao and the other two into a blue brick courtyard. As soon as he entered the gate, a servant came forward to help Shi Xianyu lead the sheep to the stable behind him, and also thoughtfully added fodder.

Every household here is full of brick and tile houses, and the village chief's family is even more of a large mansion. It looks like the family is well-off. If there were no monsters, the villagers here would probably have lived a good life.

Wanji raised his foot and crossed the threshold, shouting to the inner room with excitement: "Mom, come out and see, I have invited the Taoist priest who can subdue demons back!"

Shi Xianyu followed Shen Xiao and Linyuan. The three of them did not enter the house and stayed in the yard waiting for the owner's arrangement. The gate of the yard was crowded with villagers watching the fun. There were also many naughty boys riding on the wall of the yard, and they were pointing at Linyuan.

Lin Yuan frowned impatiently, occasionally glanced at the villagers coldly, and the crowd suddenly let out "Oh" screams, as if he had seen something extraordinary and rare.

He became even more irritable.

If it weren't for sending Chen Xiao to Lingshan, he would never have come to such a place, nor would he want to deal with humans.

The sleeves suddenly tightened, and he looked down. Shi Xianyu grabbed his sleeve. Her expression was a little wrong, as if she had seen something terrible.

Linyuan looked at him, but Wanji and a young woman walked out and greeted them into the house with a smile.

"If you have any mistakes, please come into the house and use tea." The woman was respectful and respectful to Chen Xiao and the other two.

Lin Yuan was puzzled in his heart. He was just an ordinary village woman. What's so scary?

The three of them entered the house with the mother and son. The servant brought tea and common snacks in the countryside. The woman left her son to entertain her and went out to arrange accommodation for the three of them.

Lin Yuan looked at the woman secretly, but did not feel anything was wrong. He looked at Shi Xianyu again, holding tea in one hand and pinching the plum blossom cake on the table with the other hand, and stuttering in small stutters, feeling very comfortable, and nothing seemed to happen.

Linyuan: "…………”

Why did you eat it again?

On this side, Wan Ji said: "The three Taoist priests stayed there and did not need to worry about food and clothing. They just don't know what food should be avoided. Please give me some advice and let the younger generations fulfill their friendship as the landlord."

"The monks are not careful about the details outside, and they can get along well with food, clothing, housing and transportation, without being too complicated." Chen Xiao thought about the spider demon and asked seriously, "You should tell me about the spider demon first. When did it appear and how many people have been hurt. In addition to spiders, are there other monsters nearby?"

Wan Ji replied: "About last year's rainy season, hunters in the village went into the forest to hunt, but they didn't come back for a few days. The hunters' family went into the forest to find people, but they also lost their whereabouts. At first, everyone thought they were taken away by jackals, tigers and leopards in the forest, but a spider demon came a few days later. It caught people in the village whenever they saw them! No matter the old, young, male and female, as long as they were stained with spider silk, they would be wrapped and dragged into the forest!"

Wan Ji sighed deeply and then said, "Originally, everyone would go to the forest to chop wood and pick fruits, but now they don't dare to get close to you."

Chen Xiao asked again: "As you said, those people were still alive when they were dragged away?"

Wan Ji nodded, "The spider silk sprayed by the monster is poisonous, and it will cause numbness if it is touched. If it is small, it can still be broken free. But once there are too many spider silks, it will lose consciousness and be dragged away alive."

Wan Ji said, a little wry smiled on his young face, "After that being said, how could those villagers be kidnapped by monsters have a good end? Now I'm afraid... I'm afraid there will be more misfortunes, alas..."

Chen Xiao frowned and thought, and said in a deep voice: "This is a bit abnormal. When ordinary monsters attack people, they will take their blood and energy essence on the spot. I have never heard of them being caught alive. If... monsters have the habit of hoarding live food, then there should be a very large nest somewhere in this forest."

"Just in the southwest corner, there is a cliff in the southwest direction!" Wanji said immediately, "The villagers who escaped said that the spider climbed down from the cliff, and it is very likely that its nest is its nest! The Taoist priest is going to get the nest to get rid of monsters?!"

Chen Xiao was very surprised and raised his eyebrows, "Are there any villagers who escaped? Where are they?"

"It was the butcher in the village who cut off the spider silk with a knife and escaped back."

"I want to see this person in person, but I wonder if it is inconvenient?"

Wanji immediately stood up and said, "Master, wait, I'll call him over."

After saying that, he went out in a hurry.

Chen Xiao seemed to be unable to sit still, so he got up and walked in the house, muttering to himself: "Strange... It's so strange..."

The other two people in the room stared at him.

Chen Xiao said to the two of them: "This matter is really strange. The spider demon should clearly live in a net. How could he come to the village to attack the villagers? Since it attacked the villagers, how could he leave a living place? What do you think?"

Lin Yuan shook his head silently, he had no opinion.

Shi Xianyu carefully wiped off the food crumbs at the corner of his mouth and shook his head honestly.

Chen Xiao: “…………”

I'm quite puzzled. With the enlightenment of the two of you, how could you want to go up Lingshan with me?

Chen Xiao sighed, looked at Shi Xianyu and asked, "When Xiaoyu first entered the door, he found something wrong?"

Linyuan's hairy leopard ears shook, and it turned out that Chen Xiao also noticed the strangeness of Shi Xianyu just now.

Shi Xianyu was slightly stunned, subconsciously glanced outside the house, pressed his voice and said, "It's nothing... It's just that, when I saw Wanji's mother, I felt that she looked a little like the spider demon."

Chen Xiao was slightly stunned, "Do you look like it?"

One is dead and ferocious, the other is healthy and rosy, the other is disheveled, the other is dignified and virtuous. No matter how you look at it, he can't tell where it looks like it.

Shi Xianyu thought about it for a moment and nodded slightly, "Well, the facial features are quite similar."

Chen Xiao: “…………”

Facial features? The black-white eyes, cracked nose, and purple lips...

But seeing Shi Xianyu's serious look, Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel self-doubted: "I didn't notice any demonic energy. Could it be that the other party's cultivation level was profound and suppressing the demonic energy?"

He looked up at Linyuan and asked, "Did you notice it?"

Lin Yuan shook his head.

After shaking his head, he seemed to feel that it was not clear enough, and added: "Ordinary people."

Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. The monster's senses were extremely sharp. If Lin Yuan also thought that the other party was an ordinary person, then he should not be wrong.

"Forget it, monsters will imitate human words and also imitate human appearance. Maybe the spider monster has seen Wanji's mother somewhere, so it's a bit similar."

The sound of footsteps came from outside the house. The three of them looked at Wanji and led a fat black man into the yard.

"Master!" Wan Ji couldn't wait to say to Chen Xiao before he crossed the threshold, "This is the butcher I mentioned to you. He was caught by a monster half a month ago and was lucky enough to escape halfway!"

The butcher had a tiger-back and bear-bear waist, black and strong. When he stepped into the door, he almost blocked the light outside. However, he looked very honest. When he saw Chen Xiao, he bowed and said, "I have seen Taoist priest..."

"No need to be polite." Chen Xiaoxu helped him and asked the butcher, "Can you tell us carefully how to escape from danger? The monster's nest will also be discussed together."
