Chapter 21 It’s a Big Demon
If these two monsters only killed young couples and spared singles, Huang Feng was going to turn a blind eye and wait for the Monster Collection Division to deal with them.
But these two monsters really made him unhappy!
It happened that Bai Yang wanted to practice swordplay after having enough wine and food in the evening, so Huang Feng decided to take his junior brother to kill them.
Tao Yansheng heard about this and was still lamenting that his luck was too bad. Why were there no monsters in the past, but when he wanted to go, there were monsters!
"Is it really unlucky after being haunted by ghosts?" Tao Yansheng decided to burn incense and bathe to wash away the bad luck.
When he was about to go back to the room, Huang Feng and Bai Yang were walking out.
"What are you doing?"
"Are you interested in getting rid of monsters?" Huang Feng asked casually.
The questioner was unintentional, but the listener was interested.
Tao Yansheng knew very well that he was just an ordinary person. He almost died tragically when he ran into a female ghost today. It would be better to stay away from danger.
But for a mortal, how many opportunities do he have to follow the immortals to kill monsters and demons?
His life will not exceed a hundred years at most, and he will most likely inherit his family's business. Today's experience may be the biggest topic of conversation for the rest of his life, and he can't miss it.
"I'll go!" Tao Yansheng quickly made up his mind.
"Don't you need to say hello to your housekeeper?"
"No problem, no problem." Tao Yansheng urged Huang Feng to go out. If he really went to say hello, the housekeeper would never let him go.
Huang Feng took out the map and found the lake, which happened to be to the west of the post station leading to Hefeng County. The line connecting the three points was almost a regular triangle.
On the way, Tao Yansheng couldn't help asking: "Brother Huang, you must be very sure to kill the demon this time, right?"
He was afraid that Huang Feng would think he was too cowardly, so he hesitated for a long time before speaking.
Huang Feng understood his feelings very well: "The world is unpredictable. I will always leave a way out for everything. There is no chance of success, but there is a chance of success."
Tao Yansheng felt much more relaxed after receiving the guarantee: "That's good. I'm afraid that I will hold you back."
Huang Feng comforted him: "No, no, you might be of great use?"
"Ah?"
Huang Feng explained seriously: "I called you to come with me because I'm afraid that these two monsters will sense our spiritual energy and hide. We may need you as bait. Don't worry, you will be safe."
Tao Yansheng's relaxed mood suddenly became tense, and he trembled: "Brother Huang, didn't you just say that the world is unpredictable?"
Huang Feng thought for a while: "Yes, there is a chance that you will be safe."
"Brother Huang, is it too late for me to go back now?"
"It's not too late to go back, but I won't see you off."
Tao Yansheng looked back and found that they had already left the official road. Although the night was bright and there was no one on the way home, he felt that it was safer to follow Huang Feng.
Feeling cheated!
The three were about to enter the mountain, Bai Yang suddenly said: "Brother, there is a demonic aura, we should be there soon."
"Do you want... do you want me to go ahead?" Tao Yansheng's voice was a little trembling, and his honest look made Huang Feng really reluctant to tease him.
"No need, I was just kidding you." Huang Feng took out the bamboo paper from his body, folded it into a plane and threw it out.
Seeing the small paper plane hovering in the air, reflecting the scene in the forest, Tao Yansheng was amazed again and again. He witnessed this immortal's method with his own eyes. Even if he didn't kill the demon, it would be enough for him to brag for a long time.
Bai Yang next to him also looked proud. Even the master admired the method of the senior brother.
But Huang Feng didn't expect that his paper plane would go wrong!
…
"Miss, I have inquired about it. This lake is called Yubo Lake. It is said that there are three waterfalls of different heights around the lake. In the morning, dusk and night, the waterfalls and the lake surface will reflect different colors, just like beautiful jade.
Every spring and summer, the surrounding literati, ladies and scholars passing by on their way to Beijing for the imperial examination will come here to enjoy the scenery and recite poems. Nothing has ever happened before!"
Xiao Nuan told Li Motang the news in detail.
After listening, Li Motang pondered for a moment: "So, these two monsters may not be the fish and shrimp in the lake that have transformed into spirits, but come from somewhere else."
If it is true, it is also possible that these two monsters killed people in a hurry and escaped before the Monster Collection Bureau arrived.
While thinking, Li Motang found that Xiao Nuan beside him suddenly became excited, tugged her sleeve fiercely, and pointed to the sky: "Miss, look at what that is."
Looking up, in the vast night, an extremely inconspicuous paper airplane was hovering over the distant woods. If Xiao Nuan hadn't seen it by chance, it would be difficult to detect.
"Mr. Huang is here? Is he here for these two monsters?" Xiao Nuan excitedly took Li Motang's arm, "Miss, let's go find him. You've been thinking about him these days."
Li Motang twisted Xiao Nuan's ear and corrected her harshly: "I want to kill him, not think about him!"
"Miss, it hurts!" Xiao Nuan followed Li Motang's strength, tilted her head, and felt very aggrieved.
Li Motang then let go of her hand and glanced at the paper plane not far away. He almost forgot the original intention of this trip and warned: "Be careful, don't be discovered, don't let him slip away again."
...
"Even in the mountains, this night shouldn't be so cold." Huang Feng muttered as he walked on the road.
Tao Yansheng was very confused: "Is it very cold?"
"Senior brother?" Bai Yang was also very puzzled.
"Maybe it's an illusion." Huang Feng shook his head and looked at the light and shadow reflected by the paper plane.
At this time, the paper plane had flown over Yubo Lake. Under the beautiful moonlight, two figures on the lake stepped on the waves and danced lightly.
The graceful figure with long fluttering hair would occasionally fall into the arms of the tall figure next to her, then raise her head, and their shadows would intertwine and kiss each other.
The paper plane got closer, and on the lake, a handsome man and a beautiful woman could be seen, like a perfect match made in heaven.
"Wow!" Tao Yansheng showed envy, and when he saw Huang Feng and Bai Yang looking over, his face changed instantly, and he said angrily, "In the wild mountains and ridges, in the open air, how shameless."
At this time, the lake water around the two monsters rose gently, turning into beautiful clusters of flowers surrounding them, and then turned into small fish, jumping around them.
Huang Feng was already very unhappy with the behavior of these two monsters who only killed single dogs, and now they were showing off in front of him, how could he tolerate it.
I originally planned to let Bai Yang use these two monsters to sharpen the sword, but now he wants to do it himself!
Thinking about it, Huang Feng was still very calm: "Didn't they say that many people died? Why didn't I see a single corpse?"
"Could they be eaten?" Tao Yansheng finally remembered that these were two monsters who could transform into humans and dance on water. It would be too easy to pinch them to death.
Before he finished speaking, the man in the lake suddenly opened his mouth, his long tongue shot out, and he quickly wrapped the paper airplane and swallowed it into his mouth.
The woman chuckled: "Husband, someone is coming to kill us."
The man showed disdain: "The people from the Demon Collection Division should arrive tomorrow. They are either kind-hearted mountain cultivators or arrogant disciples of the sect. There is nothing to be afraid of."
The woman flirted, holding her face with her hands, smiling: "It seems that there is another mortal. I smell it."
Before she finished speaking, the demon wind blew.
Beside Huang Feng, Bai Yang showed no fear, and even a little happy: "Brother, a big demon, it is a big demon!"
Tao Yansheng trembled after hearing this, and asked carefully: "Is it still 99% now?"
Huang Feng thought about it and patted his shoulder: "It may be... 50-50 now?"
