Chapter 171: Demons and Temptations

The first night of inspection passed smoothly without any trouble.

The next day, shocking news came from the town. It was said that Zhou Yahei and his group who had set up an ambush outside the town encountered a horrific attack at night and the entire army was wiped out. Each one of them was disemboweled and their internal organs were removed. He was eaten completely; the Tianling Cap on his forehead was also scratched to pieces, and his brain was sucked dry...

These are typical methods of demons!

Zhou Yahei and others committed evil and tyranny, and everyone applauded their deaths. But thinking of the monsters wandering outside, people suddenly became sad and sad.

Demons and monsters are different concepts.

The demon clan is an ancient title. It once stood side by side with the human race. However, with the prosperity of humanity, the demon clan declined and gradually withdrew from the stage of history.

Although the demons have the blood of the demon clan, they have long since transformed into another type. They are ferocious and bloodthirsty, with the goal of preying on human beings. They are the public enemies of the world, and everyone will kill them.

Once upon a time, most demons and evil spirits disappeared. However, recently, they have tended to reappear.

Chen Youniao heard Chi Yangsheng say that this was the result of the turmoil caused by the changes in the current situation.

This monster did not dare to break into the town, but carried out killings outside the town. Now, people did not dare to leave.

"hateful!"

Taoist Master Qingyun got angry. He thought this was an undisguised slap in the face and a provocation. Over the years, with the white-haired real person sitting in charge, not only in the town, but also in the surrounding areas for several miles outside the town. What evil spirits dare to come out to cause trouble?

The Taoist court shoulders the responsibility of "subduing demons and exterminating demons." If there are demons that eat people, it means dereliction of duty. If trouble breaks out, Taoist priest Qingyun cannot escape his involvement.

This was the source of his irritation.

He felt that he was really unlucky. Just as he was about to complete his term, one incident after another happened. It would be difficult for him to get "excellent" in future performance evaluations.

After thinking for a while, Taoist Master Qingyun came to Chen Youniao to discuss: "Master Chen, there is a demon causing trouble, and we must work together to get rid of it."

Chen Youniao asked: "Taoist Priest, what kind of monster do you see?"

"It's not a big demon, it's a mandrill demon, and it has two heads, one male and one female."

Taoist Master Qingyun explained.

Chen Youniao heard the mystery: "Have they appeared before?"

"Yes, they originally lived in the valley on the north side of Snake Mountain, but they were scared away by real people. I didn't expect that they would appear again after so many years."

Demons are actually like evil spirits and have a strong sense of territory.

Qingyun added: "These two mandrills have infinite magical power, and their bodies are as hard as iron. They are invulnerable to ordinary swords and guns. They are quite difficult to deal with. But as long as we join forces, it will be no problem."

After a pause: "After successfully slaying the demon, I will record my merits. There will be at least a thousand talisman coins as a reward, all of which will be given to you."

Chen Youniao smiled and said: "That's good, I'm just trying to make more money from talismans."

Taoist Priest Qingyun was not surprised by this. Under the Taoist system, it is recognized that money for talismans is difficult to earn. Generally, the remuneration for ordinary office holders is meager. The money they receive is not enough to make tooth sacrifices, and they have to eat spiritual food and spiritual wine two or three times a month. All the expenses were spent. As for making extra money, I had to find ways to get tasks and go out to slay demons.

The rewards given by the latter are good, but there is a prerequisite for strength. If you are sloppy, you will not get this bowl of rice at all.

"Without further ado, shall we go now?"

"good."

Chen Youniao didn't delay, tidied up a little, carried his sword and set off.

Taoist Master Qingyun took four more Taoist priests with him, left the town, and first went to the place where Zhou Yahei's group was attacked last night.

The geographical location here is simple and it is the only way to enter and exit Xianyi Town. It was opened up and built into several wooden buildings.

Corpses were laid out in various places.

Qingyun ordered the Taoist priests accompanying him to clean up the corpses, gather them together, burn them with fire, and then bury them in the pit.

"Master Chen, wherever the mandrill demon passes, there must be a strange smell. If we go after it, we can find them."

Chen Youniao said: "Taoist Master is rich in experience, I will listen to you."

In this regard, Taoist Priest Qingyun indeed showed his skill as he led Chen Youniao through the mountains and forests, over mountains and ridges, and gradually walked further and further away.

"It should be here."

Taoist priest Qingyun stopped and kept sniffing.

call!

From among the dense bushes, a tall figure jumped out. At first glance, it looked like a savage covered in black hair.

"Evil beast, seeking death!"

Taoist Priest Qingyun was already on guard. He unsheathed his long sword and stabbed out several swords in an instant.

Chen Youniao was not in a hurry to take action. The Taoist Master once said that the mandrill demon has two heads, one male and one female. One has just come out now, and the other is probably hiding somewhere.

He didn't wait long, as another smaller mandrill fell from the sky and jumped down from the tree crown where it was lying in ambush.

Chen Youniao was determined to hone his sword skills, and he was even more unwilling to use his sword in front of Taoist Master Qingyun. He had already used it once last time, and if he used it again, it might reveal his flaws.

Instead of "This Heart Sword", I used the "Zhongjian Sword" that I learned first. This inferior swordsmanship was originally given to me by Chen Han, and only consisted of some simple sword skills. But now that I use it, it is...

It's quite a bit ingenious.

Taoist Priest Qingyun was fighting fiercely with the mandrill, while he was peeking in and paying close attention to the sword skills used by Chen Youniao.

After watching it for a while, I thought to myself: After all, I am too worried...

On the night when the great demon Wu Xuan escaped from trouble, he led the Taoist priests to stop him, but was intercepted by a mysterious man on the way. Shocked by the amazing sword power, he quickly returned to the Taoist temple.

Regarding this matter, Taoist Master Qingyun has always been puzzled and wanted to get to the bottom of it.

The demon clan's magical powers are not good at swordsmanship, so the person who took action that night must be a certain human swordsman master.

Who could it be?

Who could it be?

Taoist Priest Qingyun felt that there was something fishy about Chen Youniao. Although his identity was proved by the certificate and the jade talisman's decree, the Taoist Priest was unwilling to let him go as he adhered to the principle that if anything was suspected, he would be investigated.

Unfortunately, Master Baifa left in such a hurry that Taoist Master Qingyun could not report the matter, so he simply started to investigate it himself.

The first step is to ask Chen Youniao to stay and help patrol and maintain order.

If Chen Youniao refuses to agree and insists on leaving, it proves that he has a guilty conscience.

The second step is to find an opportunity to see Chen Youniao's swordsmanship with your own eyes.

Now, both steps of the process have been passed, and no flaws have been found.

The mysterious swordsman probably had someone else, and he had already left with the big demon.

With the big demon gone, how could he have any reason to stay in the town?

Waiting to be caught?

Thinking of this, Taoist Priest Qingyun began to feel sorry for Xu's talisman money. Seeing that Chen Youniao's swordsmanship was so-so, his strength was not worth spending so much money to win over.

The two mandrill demons are indeed not big monsters. They attack unprepared adventurers and can kill them, but they are a bit unsatisfactory against those who have transformed into Shinto. After fighting for a while, they took several swords on their bodies. With their tenacity,

The skin and bones turned and fled.

"Taoist Master, let's chase him!"

Chen Youniao said unwillingly.

Taoist Master Qingyun said: "The mountains are high and the forests are dense. Don't chase me. Go back."

I secretly cursed in my heart, if your sword skills were better, could you let them escape?

Chen Youniao sighed sadly: "What a pity. If they escaped, wouldn't they get no credit?"

Qingyun said perfunctorily: "Next time."
