Chapter 37 Monster, where to go!
When the Dragon Boat Festival is on the Dragon Boat Festival, every household in Jiazhou City has inserted mugwort at the door, busy making rice dumplings and mixing realgar wine. The smell of mugwort and realgar wine can be smelled everywhere in the city.
The same is true in Li Xian's mansion. Li Qing seemed to be listless as if he was sick. He was about to find an excuse to escape from the city when Li Xian called him over.
"Li Qing, logically speaking, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and you shouldn't have been allowed to go out for a job, but someone came to report that Nan'an County has started to rebuild the Thunder God Temple again. The official has just demolished their temple. They have to rebuild it in just a few days. It's too presumptuous! So I want to ask you to work hard to go to Nan'an County to see it! What do you think?" Li Xianqiang asked calmly.
Li Qing of Nan'an County naturally didn't want to go, and he was also afraid of being struck by lightning; but he continued to stay in Jiazhou City, and the smell of realgar everywhere in the city made him unbearable.
After weighing the pros and cons, I could only ask at the inn outside the wild boar forest. I could avoid the realgar smell if I didn’t enter Nan'an County.
"You are here!" Li Qing bowed and replied, and then said that and wanted to leave.
"Let's go!" Li Xian said to stop him and brought a glass of realgar wine with his own hands. "It's already very disappointing to ask you to do the job today. If you don't even drink a glass of realgar wine, how can you be embarrassed? Just drink this glass full, just treat it as a way to see you off!"
"Stop!" Li Qing's face turned pale and hesitated, "Since you are going to do the job, I'm afraid it's not good to drink, right? What should I do if I miss the court's errand?"
"Hey, I don't know how much you drink? I just drank a whole jar a few days ago, but what is a glass? Do you want to go there if you refuse like this? That's not a big deal. Just stay in the mansion and celebrate the festival with us. I'll let the others forget it!" Li Xian pretended to be angry.
"This..." I still have to drink realgar wine in my house, so it's not a single cup. After drinking this cup, I quickly left the city and used the excuse of private investigation without taking the entourage. If I leave the city and find a place to hide for a while, the effect of realgar wine may be over.
After weighing the pros and cons, Li Qing gritted his teeth and took the wine glass and drank it all, "The important thing is, so I will go to Nan'an County to investigate it clearly."
"That's right, that's right. It's a holiday anyway, but it's not easy for you to not even have a glass of wine!" Seeing that he had finished drinking the realgar wine, Li Xian felt relieved in his heart, and he held Li Qing's hand and told him some key points for going to Nan'an County to do business. He confirmed that Li Qing could not spit out the wine before letting him go.
Li Qing hurried out of the city gate, walked only two or three miles away, and turned into the path that entered the mountain. At this time, he was already staggering and unable to walk steadily.
Realgar wine was as uncomfortable as it was burning in the belly. Li Qing could still suppress it just now, but now he was in a place where no one could finally help it. He screamed "ah" and teared open the human skin and exposed the true form, and was about to rush into the forest to hide.
"Monster, where can I go!" With a whoosh, a long arrow shot towards Li Qing. He tried his best to avoid it, but he only avoided the vital points, but he still got an arrow in his arm.
"I want to hurt me just ordinary arrows... No, there is realgar on this arrow! Ah~~" Li Qing screamed immediately, and the injured area also swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Haha, even a thousand-year-old snake spirit like Bai Suzhen can't stand it if you drink realgar wine, let alone a little monster like you? Cui Yunming stood on the top of the mountain and sneered.
"It's you!" Li Qing looked at him with a laugh and recognized Cui Yunming at a glance. "Is it the idea you gave to let me go to Nan'an County? You and I have no grudges in the past. Why can't you get along with me?"
"If you demolish my temple, it's not a pity!" The monster was not stupid, and he could still guess that the glass of wine was persuaded by Cui Yunming to give him a drink.
Seeing that something was wrong, Li Qing was about to turn around and run away, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Lu Wu holding a long bow in his hand. Yuan Xun held the iron stick tightly and blocked his way. Seeing that the weapon was covered with yellow dust, it was definitely realgar.
"If I offended my master, I still want to run away?" Lu Wu was not only not afraid when he saw the monster, but also extremely excited. As for Yuan Xun, he was even less worried. It had never fought against other monsters in the mountains.
Li Qing never thought that he would meet an enemy on the way, so he didn't bring any weapons when he went out. Seeing that the two of them seemed difficult to deal with, he rolled on the ground and completely revealed his true form. It turned out to be a green snake about a meter long.
The snake letter made a "rustling" sound, and he turned towards Lu Wu with a fishy wind. Lu Wu was not panicked at all, and quickly pulled out the arrow and put it on the bowstring.
"Squeak!" Yuan Xun shook his body and stopped him, raised his iron rod with both claws and hit the green snake seven inches. This move was both fast and fierce.
Even if the Green Snake practices to become a demon, seven inches is still the key. With Yuan Xun's divine power, if he is hit, he will lose half of his life even if he is not killed.
Li Qing could only avoid it, but he could not avoid Yuan Xun's iron rod, but he could not avoid Lu Wu's long arrow. He was hit by another arrow on his back, and began to swell and bleeding as before.
"Hiss~~hiss~~" Li Qing was so painful that his tail was whipped everywhere, and it smashed a lot of grass and trees around him. Unfortunately, this not only did not harm Lu Wu and Yuan Xun at all, but also delayed its swimming speed.
"Senior Brother, let's come again!" Lu Wu was already a little suspicious, but now he saw the realgar arrow hitting the snake demon's reaction, and he became more confident in his heart. This time he simply drew three arrows and put them on the bowstring.
Yuan Xun shook his body and jumped to the big tree next to him, then jumped off the tree, and smashed Li Qing hard. This time, Li Qing barely avoided the arrow, but did not avoid Yuan Xun's iron rod. The iron rod fell, and the scales splashed everywhere, revealing the white meat inside. When the white meat touched the realgar on the stick, it was corroded like sulfuric acid.
"Hiss~hiss~" Li Qing suddenly felt pain in his bones. At this time, he had learned that neither of these two guys could be taken away in a short while. With the influence of realgar wine, he began to find a way out.
"Be careful that this guy escapes!" Cui Yunming condescended, and had already seen through its plans.
"Master, don't worry, it can't escape! Senior brother will continue!" Lu Wu took out a cloth bag and threw it to Yuan Xun.
"Squeak!" Yuan Xun shouted twice, threw down the iron rod and jumped up the tree, grabbed the branch with one hand and the cloth bag with the other, and swung a few times in the air. He saw that the yellow powder scattered in the cloth bag happened to draw a semicircle in front of Li Qing to block it. Needless to say, this must be realgar!
They really put in their efforts, but do they think they could hold me like this? Li Qing felt ruthless in his heart, and he first made a move to sweep forward and frightened Lu Wu. Yuan Xun suddenly turned around and rushed towards Cui Yunmingfei.
This person is the leader, and as long as he kills him, these two little disciples are not worth worrying about.
