Strange Tale

Is this guy in the shower?Such a big general's mansion has no place to take a bath?what to do?Wait until he finishes washing?The priest is still waiting.Hmm... I've met twice, although I'm not very familiar, I'm not new either.I've been squatting here like a spy.How about...show your face, or wash together if he disagrees?No, I haven't figured out his details yet. Wouldn't it be more unlucky to take a bath together with a dead person possessed by a monster...

"Is it fun to peek at other people's showers?"

Si Ren was struggling in every possible way, when Long Jiu suddenly asked out loudly.Si Ren's face became hot, and just as he was about to get up to clarify, there was a wave of evil energy from the other side of the pool, and a light figure jumped into the water one step ahead of Si Ren.

"Hahahaha! You are a brat who hasn't even grown a hair, so I don't care about peeping!"

Si Ren quickly pushed aside the branch: it was a woman, and she looked familiar.

"So it's you." Long Jiu put on a cross-collar jacket at some point.

"Didn't expect that?" The woman was dressed in purple, her long hair was hanging down in the water, she was very seductive.

"I ran away, why did you come back to die?"

"You should know what I want."

Could it be that she is the unwatchable woman that Long Jiu said yesterday when he reprimanded his subordinates?Si Ren recited the mantra and looked over again: it was actually a golden pheasant essence.

Si Ren knew who this goblin was.She is the wife of Shi Daen, the former lord of Yan City, named Jin Ji.Once when he took Qilin to a temple fair, Si Ren saw her in the crowd.Because she was too beautiful and not a mortal, Si Ren asked someone about her identity.

"Do you think you can take it away?" Long Jiu looked at Jin Ji with disdain.

"Do you think you can keep it?" Jin Ji didn't show weakness.

"Hahahaha!" Long Jiu's laughter was still so shrill and weird, "Only you? But with a few more feathers than a hen, you really think you are a phoenix? Do you think everyone is like that old pervert Shi Daen?" A virtue? Don’t overestimate your capabilities! I’ll kill you and crush a bug and ant!”

These words are a bit vicious, she is also a woman after all.Si Ren felt a little overwhelmed.

Jin Ji's complexion really changed, but she quickly raised her eyes and restored her previous charm, "Hehe, okay, I'm a hen. Then what are you? General 'Dragon'? Do you really think of yourself as a dragon? It’s just a worm with a few extra heads! If you have the ability, you can transform yourself into a human form! What? You can’t transform it because you don’t have enough energy? Tsk tsk, I accidentally saw that thing of yours just now, it’s really... But, A 17-year-old paralyzed person, it’s not bad to be able to do this. If it weren’t for you, this body might not even be able to walk? I really don’t understand, why do you have to be attached to a disabled child? Wouldn’t it be better to change it to a mighty and majestic one? Oh ──I see, this face is pretty, so it’s convenient for you to use, isn’t it?”

Si Ren was so sweaty when he heard it: Why are the goblins talking more viciously than the other.

"How do you know about... about me?" Long Jiu gritted his teeth, and the hair on his head began to float upwards.It seemed that he was very angry and was enduring it.

Jin Ji didn't take it seriously, "Don't think that you are the only one who can live a long time, I can also find other thousand-year-old gods and monsters."

Long Jiu's hair turned red, then his eyebrows and eyes.Si Ren held his breath and was so excited that he was about to pass out.He saw it, finally saw it!A huge nine-headed monster rises from the dragon's nine heads. It is neither a dragon nor a snake, and each head is covered with flames.And behind Jin Ji, who was opposite him, a big bird appeared with its wings spread out.

This is a vision that ordinary people cannot see, and Si Ren was deeply shocked by the scene in the pool.He has personally captured countless monsters, but this is the first time he has encountered this scene of two monsters fighting.Especially one of them was an ancient monster whose name he couldn't remember at the moment.

There was a splash of water, and Jin Ji made the first move.

Si Ren thought that he would be able to see how they fought, but he didn't expect that Long Jiu didn't talk too much, he stretched out his hand, effortlessly dispelled Jin Ji's moves and grabbed her neck.Moreover, Long Jiu stood firmly in the water without even shaking.

"It's not that I didn't persuade you, you asked for it." Long Jiu's voice was gloomy and deep, as if he had changed completely.

Jin Ji grabbed his arm with both hands and showed a painful expression, "You...you...don't be too complacent..."

As she spoke, she raised her hand suddenly, her long nails grew an inch longer, and three bloody cuts were drawn on Long Jiu's face.

Long Jiu smiled, and the wound healed instantly, "The reason why you came to die is to kill me at close range? Don't you know? Nothing in this world can hurt me!"

"Is...is it?" Jin Ji was still struggling, "I don't think...not necessarily!"

Jin Ji shot suddenly, flung the dagger out of her sleeve and inserted it into Long Jiu's body.

Long Jiu's smile was still on his face, but his movements froze for an instant. The next moment, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he let go of his hands to reveal a ferocious expression.

Jin Ji fell into the water and touched her neck, gasping for breath.

Long Jiu covered the wound and took a few steps back and fell into the water, "You... how could you..."

Jin Ji regained her strength and stood up, "Ahem...you don't need to know, and you never will!"

As soon as the words fell, she raised her palm and was about to strike Long Jiu's head.

"Stop!" Si Ren jumped out.

Jin Ji froze for a moment, Si Ren rushed between the two of them and pressed her palm with his middle finger and index finger.

"Ah! It hurts!" Jin Ji withdrew her palm and shook it twice, then looked at Si Ren intently, "Who are you?"

"Little man, Madam doesn't need to know." Si Ren stood up straight and stood in front of Long Jiu.

"Taoist? Monk?"

"neither."

"Hmph, it doesn't matter. Do you think you can defeat me and save him with some spells? Tell you, no one can pull out that divine dagger unless..."

"Unless what?" Si Ren took a step forward.

Jin Ji curled her mouth, "Why should I tell you?"

"Then..." Si Ren lowered his head and thought for a while, "Since you can't save him, why don't you let me take him away?"

Jin Ji stared, "No way!"

Si Ren was helpless, "Alright then."

"what?"

Looking up again, Si Ren placed his hands between Jin Ji's brows, "Nan Wu, Luo Dana Duo Luo..."

After chanting the incantation, Si Ren slowly moved his finger away, and Jin Ji stared straight ahead with her eyes and stopped moving.Si Ren set up an illusion barrier for her, and she was immersed in it and lost consciousness for a while.

Si Ren helped Long Jiu up, "How are you doing?"

Blood flowed from the corner of Long Jiu's mouth, "Survey the curse?! You... are you a Buddhist disciple?"

"I'm almost dead, and you still care what kind of 'disciple' I am?"

"Who the hell are you?!"

"Just an ordinary charlatan."

"Liar!"

Si Ren reached out to pull Long Jiu's clothes to see his wounds, "If you keep yelling like this, you will really die."

Long Jiu opened his hand, "I can't die! Quickly take me...ahem...to find..."

Si Ren raised his hand with one palm, and Long Jiu passed out.Si Ren knew that he asked him to take him to find him, but how could he miss such a good opportunity?Long Jiu's life experience has completely aroused his curiosity, he decided to find a safe place to rescue him first, and then try to figure out what happened to Long Jiu.

Father Martin was waiting impatiently, when he saw Si Ren running over carrying something from a distance, he quickly started the car, got out of the car and opened the rear door.When Si Ren got closer, the priest saw clearly: it turned out that what he was carrying was a wet man.

Looking at Si Renye's drenched trousers and clothes, Father Martin looked up at the sky, "Is it raining again?"

"No." Si Ren threw Long Jiu on the back seat of the car and closed the door, "I'm going to Jicuitan."

"Ah? Did you find the missing corpse?"

"Well... let's talk about it first in the car. Maybe someone will chase after a while, we have to get out of here as soon as possible."

On the way Father Martin asked who was in the back seat.Si Ren said that this person was called Long Jiu.The priest slammed on the brakes, and Si Ren almost missed the front glass.

"He is the General Dragon who occupied Yancheng overnight?!" Father Martin twisted his fat body and tried to look back.

Si Ren frowned and rubbed his painful chest, "Yes, it's him."

"Isn't this too young?! It's still a child! Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

"Yes."

"How did he get hurt?"

"Uh... let's go quickly."

The car continued to drive on the mountain road.Si Ren told Father Martin how he traced the footprints, but he didn't mention what he saw in the enchantment and Jicuitan. He only told him that he already knew what was going on, and that he would explain to him later.

Father Martin didn't ask any more questions, and agreed to Si Ren not to tell about today's events for the time being, and sent them to a ruined temple on Yuying Mountain in the west according to his request.

In the end, Father Martin agreed with Si Ren to deliver food to them once in two days.If you see Qilin when you go back, take him to the church to help take care of him.

It is said to be a broken temple, but the backyard of the Buddhist temple is actually well preserved.Finding a bed to put Long Jiu away, Si Ren is going to treat his injuries first.

The author has something to say: Casting the Mantra: In this chapter, Si Ren recites a line from Vajrasattva's Casting the Mantra.The resulting handprint is the inner lion seal, which is the "one" in the nine-character mantra.Search "nine-character mantra" to see the specific conclusion.
