Chapter fifty-one encounter
"I seem to have seen this thing." Wang Chen said in a shocking voice at the critical moment.
"Oh?" Everyone looked over with a questioning look on their faces, especially Gao Wei, with eager expectations, hoping that he could save everyone.
Wang Chen smiled calmly and looked at everyone explaining: "In the early years, when I came here, I saw rumors of such things. It was not enough that this kind of thing appeared very few times, so it was unknown. The classics in Chu Xiaoyou's family have not been recorded, which is normal. After all, this thing is just a word of mouth for ordinary people and rarely appears."
Speaking of this, I paused for a moment, picked up the branches on the ground, picked up some red tentacles, and continued calmly: "This kind of thing, the people in this area called them "Hundred-legged Ghost", comes from a story. According to legend, a long time ago, there lived a couple of scholars. The man wanted to be the top scholar in high school and studied hard in the mountains. However, the wife of the family was dissatisfied with the current poverty and poverty, and thought that men were useless, so after a long time, they took money and ran away with other men. The poor scholar realized this situation.
He vomited blood and died. Before his death, he once lamented, 'There is only a careless man in this world, but who knows that the world is unfair. This wife of chaff will also violate the vows and ignore the eternal oath, and I will die with my eyes open." At this time, a centipede spirit happened to pass by. Seeing this scene, she sighed for a long time. The scholar was so resentful that he could be suitable for his own practice, so he invaded the human body. Over time, there were rumors in the local area that the legend of a hundred-legged ghost born in the mountains, staying in the human body, and eating humans. As for the truth, no one has seen it, so it is naturally unknown."
Wang Chen's words, combined with the current situation and the furnishings in the house, were really reasonable. A fictitious legend explained all the situations. Everyone was very sad after hearing this, especially Chu Xunyu himself, and thought of Xiao Xiao silently in his heart. Yes, human beings say that there are only lovers in this world, but there is also the ruthless woman. I didn't have such an experience. I was very kind to Xiao Xiao, but I got this kind of ending. Thinking of this, I felt sad.
At this time, Gao Wei's words brought everyone back to reality, "I said, I'm sorry, I've heard this story. Is there any way to save people?"
As soon as he asked, even Wangchen was silent. He only knew allusions, but did not understand the treatment method. Looking at Gao Wei's anxious expression, Chu Xunyu suddenly had an idea: "The technique of curing diseases in the world is worse than mutual generation and restraint, or the method of using poison to fight poison. It is not realistic to find this poisonous substance at the moment. However, since it is a centipede, then the nemesis of the centipede in the world is worse than that of the pheasant. Now it is easy to catch a pheasant in these mountains. We might as well catch it and see if this pheasant can restrain this monster."
This proposal was very consistent with the situation in front of me. Seeing that no one objected, Chu Xunyu continued decisively: "In this way, before dark, I will catch a pheasant alone and come back. You stay and wait for me. I have drugged this monster and will only be able to wake up at least ten hours. I will come when I go."
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave, and Shang Qian suddenly called him, "Senior Brother Chu, I want to go with you too."
After hearing this, Chu Xunyu looked back at her curiously. How did this girl want to catch a pheasant? At this time, she suddenly saw Shang Qian looking at the monster on the ground with hatred. She couldn't help but feel enlightened. It turned out that she didn't want to stay with these things. She immediately understood and agreed to take her there.
Gao Wei himself wanted to help, but later he thought that he could not match these immortals' magical powers that travel thousands of miles a day, so he had to give up and stay with everyone.
Chu Xunyu took Shang Qian and rose directly into the air and flew above the group. After careful observation of the terrain for a while, Chu Xunyu pointed to the west of a hundred miles and nodded, "The terrain there is just right, suitable for pheasants to live in."
The two flew away immediately. On the way, Shang Qian looked at Chu Xunyu curiously and asked, "Senior Brother Chu, how do you, a disciple from a famous family, know how to catch this pheasant?"
"Haha, that's it." Chu Xunyu replied with a smile while flying: "This is also due to the environment. Over the years, wandering around the world, and know a lot about these other tricks. The croquette tastes delicious. Later generations praised it as "The name is three thousand miles north of the north, and the taste is overwhelming on the twelfth floor of the south of the Yangtze River." Back then, I came out of a two-level land and fell into the mountains and fields. I once admired its name, so I have grabbed a lot of fruitful things and it is indeed worthy of my reputation."
Shang Qian giggled in the air and said, "Senior Brother Chu is really worthy of being a close friend of Senior Brother Mu Yuan, and they all love this."
Chu Xunyu smiled awkwardly, and didn't say much, so he flew directly to his destination in the air.
The two landed in the mountains and forests. Looking at the woods, Chu Xunyu lowered his voice: "Junior Sister Shang Qian, be careful. These pheasants are all living in groups and are the smartest. If there is any movement, they will scatter and escape. So we tried our best to hide our breath and quietly catch them."
Shang Qian nodded obediently, but asked back, "Which one do we want to catch?"
"Well, that monster is extraordinary. If we want to catch it, we will catch the biggest chicken king among the roosters. I guess only it can shock the monsters."
After the two of them finished their discussion, they walked into the forest with their hands and feet. Soon, in the dark night, they saw a large pheasant sleeping with their eyes closed. They looked around and finally found that among the group of chickens, there was a strong figure of a rooster with a cockscomb, resting on a dead branch in the center. It seemed that it must be undoubtedly it. Chu Xunyu pulled Shang Qian's corner of her clothes and signaled her action.
Unexpectedly, they suddenly changed. Before they could touch it in the dark, they heard a sharp "光-光" sound coming into their ears. Suddenly, it was like cold water dripping into the oil pan. The group of chickens woke up suddenly. When they saw the two of them, they all flapped their wings and fleeing away in horror, leaving only various feathers scattered in the air.
Shang Qian stood there with a look of disappointment and sighed: "These pheasants are so agile. They know how to sleep in the middle of the night and stand guard."
"It's not like that. Someone informed them." Chu Xunyu said in a cold voice, touched the hilt of the sword with his hand, turned around and looked behind.
Shang Qian also turned around curiously. After seeing Chu Xunyu's target, she was shocked. It turned out that not far behind her, in the darkness, she faintly saw a woman standing on the bluestone, standing by the autumn wind. Although she was not very clear about who it was in the darkness, she could still feel the woman looking at them with an angry look.
Chu Xunyu took off the long sword behind him, silently stared at the figure of the woman not far away, and said coldly: "Who are you? What is the purpose of hiding behind him?"
The woman did not answer the question, and her voice was tactful: "Looking at the fact that you two have good cultivation and seem dignified, you think you are a virtuous person. You don't want to do this stealing act in the middle of the night. You are really a good face and a hypocritical hypocrite."
Shang Qian couldn't help but say angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, who said he was going to do that stealing thing? We were going to save people."
The woman laughed without being angry and said, "Oh? This is really strange. There are thousands of ways to save people in the world. I have never heard of someone stealing chickens to save people in the middle of the night. This is really ridiculous."
Shang Qian wanted to say something, but Chu Xunyu grabbed her and pointed the woman with a long sword, staring at her figure, and his voice became even colder, "It turns out that you are a demon, I also think you are a good person. I don't bother to say anything else. You either stay away from here. If you have to interfere in this matter, we will inevitably talk to our subordinates."
"Demon?" Shang Qian was shocked, and his spiritual energy was in his eyes. After a closer look, there was no woman at this time. There was a big pheasant with a wide chest and bent beak standing on the bluestone. He couldn't help but smile and said, "I thought some sister from a family came here to meddle in other people's business. It turned out to be a pheasant spirit. Brother Chu, it seems that we have crashed into their chicken coop, but seeing that she has practiced for many years, if she catches her back, it will definitely shock those things."
What this is right is that if the pheasant king runs away, it doesn't matter. After all, it's just a group of mortal chickens, but this chicken spirit with a successful cultivation just happened to hit the door. If he catches it back, he will really achieve twice the result with half the effort. Thinking of this, Chu Xunyu couldn't help but praise: "Wonderful."
The pheasant spirit on the opposite side was knocked out by someone and was being discussed and caught back to do this and that. He was very angry on the spot, but if he fought hard, he would probably not be the opponent of the two of them in front of him. The woman transformed by the pheasant spirit was not stupid. Seeing that the situation was not good, he turned around and jumped off the bluestone, flashed continuously, and fled into the mountains.
Chu Xunyu had long expected that this witch would run away, but he saw that it had only been practicing for up to five hundred years and could barely transform into a human body. How could he do it with himself? He took the sword and shouted: "Let's chase."
Shang Qian pointed his head, and immediately, and Chu Xunyu and others flew out, playing the game of eagle catching chickens in the mountains and forests.
This pheasant woman is smart. She knew that although they were powerful, they were foreign after all. She had the advantage of the terrain. She relied on her familiar terrain to turn around the woods, taking on various difficult and dangerous roads.
Chu Xunyu didn't bother with himself. He had been in the world for many years and had a high cultivation level. How could he stump him by just a terrain? But Shang Qian was different. When she first entered the world, she encountered such a cunning thing. She wandered around the forest in the dark for a few times and lost her direction. A big tree as thick as a waist was right in front of her, but she didn't notice it. She ran into it and a big bag appeared on her white forehead in pain.
Looking at this scene, Chu Xunyu couldn't help but feel funny, but he couldn't leave her alone, so he had to wait for her from time to time, and actually let the pheasant spirit run away.
Seeing the target go away, Shang Qian knew that it was her dragging her back, and couldn't help but apologize in her heart, and she became even more angry, determined to take down the monster.
Both sides chased and fled in the mountains and forests, and their figures were sometimes far away and sometimes approaching. Finally, when the figures on both sides were closer, the pheasant spirit in front flashed and turned to the right. Suddenly, Shang Qian touched the backhand, took off the guqin behind her, and gently flicked the slender fingers in her right hand, and a syllable jumped out. In an instant, an invisible sound wave wall appeared not far ahead, blocking the road of the chicken spirit.
The woman who turned into chicken essence couldn't help but say "huh", but the road ahead was blocked, so she had to turn around and escape in the other direction. At this time, Chu Xunyu could not let her escape? He stretched his fingers and a sharp sword energy shot out, hitting her legs.
Under the moonlight, the pheasant woman was hit by the sword energy and could no longer escape. She covered her long skirt stained with blood and fell to the ground with sweat. Chu Xunyu and Shang Qian finally came close to her, looked carefully, and finally saw her true face clearly.
I have to say that although he is a monster, this woman is pretty, especially when she was hit by Chu Xunyu's sword energy, and her whole body was sweating profusely, but her face was undoubtedly full of resentment, but she also had a unique beauty.
The woman said angrily: "Kill me, I won't live for a few days anyway, and I won't listen to your orders."
