Ye Gui

Chapter 7 The Demon Hunter

Bai Yin patted the bed as if offering a treasure: "This is the white tiger skin I hunted last winter. Baijuan Mountain is full of spiritual power, and many creatures cultivate here. The white tiger occupies a mountain stream with a spiritual spring and bullies the weak. I passed by it that day. If you want to eat me, I'll take care of it..." The fur of the white tiger on the couch is shiny and fluffy no matter how you press it, and it looks like it has spiritual power. He said this easily, as if he was eating it himself. It's the same as the one I picked up after going out for a walk after dinner.

Lei Yan found him very interesting, and asked, "Why did the Lord Mountain God come to Baijuan Mountain?"

Hakuin: "I'm not a mountain god, they're little demons barking. Just call me Hakuin. I just want to find a place with no people to clean up. I passed by Baijuan Mountain and thought it was a good place to live. Maybe after a while." I don’t know if I’m tired of changing places. But why did the general appear here?”

Lei Yan: "I passed out half a year ago and fell into this strange disease. I visited famous doctors and couldn't explain why. Even the national teacher was helpless, so the national teacher asked me to go to Baishan to see if there was a way..."

"National teacher? But the surname is Pei?"

"It's indeed Pei, do you know him?"

Hakuin nodded, "I know him, but not very well."

Lei Yan felt strange, how could a big monster know the national teacher?He really wanted to ask about Hakuin's real body, but felt that it was too abrupt, so he changed the subject and asked, "Excuse me about my illness..."

Bai Yin took his hand, put his fingertips on his wrist, and said after a while: "Your body is indeed fine, no matter how many famous doctors you have invited, you won't be able to see the problem." He stretched out his hand and touched Lei Yan's forehead with his fingertips , As soon as he put it on, he felt a little spiritual hindrance, and he secretly smiled in his heart: Is it disguised?But he doesn't care much about other people's appearance, maybe there is something hard to hide.He didn't study it carefully, and the spiritual power penetrated from his fingertips.

Lei Yan was moved by a wave of coolness entering from the spirit of the sky, and it circled around his body.

Hakuin slowly withdrew his spiritual power and looked into his eyes, those dark eyes were clear and bright, shining like stars under the light.He looked away, secretly sighing in his heart that this person's appearance is ordinary, but his eyes are very captivating.

"The problem is your soul."

Lei Yan frowned and said, "I would like to hear the details."

Bai Yin said: "Your heavenly soul has been taken away. One of the three souls is missing, only the earth soul and the life soul are left, and the two souls of strength and strength are gone. That's why your body becomes stiff and uncontrollable question. No wonder..." He smiled.

"No wonder what?"

Hakuin rested his chin in one hand, and put the index finger of the other hand under his nose: "No wonder you want to suck my spiritual power. Since you can drive magic soldiers, you must also be a person with spiritual power, so you can support yourself without so many souls." In half a year, ordinary people have long since died, and you have spiritual power, so you will be extremely sensitive to other people's spiritual power. Haha, do you like it?"

Lei Yan sniffed his fingers like an addict, and when he heard his laughter, he blushed and turned his head away.

Hakuin smiled secretly, really like a cat.

Lei Yan swallowed and asked: "Then is there a way to find my soul?"

Hakuin: "There is a way, I'm afraid it will take some time. I'll help you replace the lack of strength and soul with other things, so that you can move freely. As for finding your soul, you have to go back to heaven first." Lucheng, if someone does it deliberately, they will definitely leave clues, so we can only find it slowly." He was also very depressed, causing so much trouble for himself.

Lei Yan: "If you can move freely, what's the problem if you don't have a soul?"

Hakuin shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter when you're alive, but if the three souls can't fuse when you die, you won't be able to enter reincarnation or rebirth in bliss, and then you'll only end up scattered."

Seeing that Lei Yan was silent, he continued, "Don't worry, since I promised you, I will help you to the end."

Lei Yan: "I don't understand, why are you helping me like this?"

Bai Yin: "As I said just now, I entered into your karma. If you die, it will become my karma, which is not good for my... practice." He paused and said with a smile, "In other words, I'm free now, so I'll help, if I get busy, I might just leave you alone!"

Lei Yan understood that he said this to prevent himself from being under pressure, so he smiled lightly: "Bai Yin, you really don't look like a demon... It seems that demons and demons are not the same."

Hakuin said: "Monsters are scary, that's because they eat people. In fact, what is the difference between them and beasts? They are all for survival. Compared with monsters, human beings are the scariest..."

The two hit it off, until the sky turned white, Lei Yan was lying on the inside, the white tiger fur under his body was warm and soft, he almost fell asleep when he touched the pillow, his breath was full of cold fragrance, it was rare to have no dreams.

When he woke up, it was already high in the sun, and Baiyin was nowhere to be seen, but he could smell the faint cold fragrance. Lei Yan knew that he hadn't gone far, so he got up and opened the door, and saw him sitting on the rocking chair in the courtyard, under the warm autumn sun, in the forbidden area. Quiet, like a paradise.

"Hakuin," he called, "what are you doing?"

Hakuin closed his eyes: "Bask in the sun."

Lei Yan couldn't help worrying about him, why would the demon bask in the sun outside in broad daylight?

"It's okay for you to be so sun-dried, right?"

Hakuin stood up: "It's really hot. Shall we go?"

"Where?"

"hunt."

Until the evening, Lei Yan was dragged by him to run all over the mountain, and caught five live pheasants, seven hares, and two wild boars.

"Is that enough?" Lei Yan asked.

Bai Yin lifted the bamboo hat and looked at him with a smile, "There is one more person in the family, how can we eat without grabbing more?"

The two returned their prey to the forbidden area, and Hakuin suddenly asked, "Did you sleep well this morning?"

Lei Yan didn't understand why, so he nodded and said: "I slept very well, the first time I slept so well in half a year." The feeling of his body moving freely made him feel relaxed both physically and mentally.

Hakuin: "That's good, let's continue tonight."

Lei Yan: "Do you still want to hunt?"

Hakuin: "Well, we will hunt demons at night." His tone was full of excitement, like a child who took a new friend to skip school and go swimming in the lake.

Lei Yan was also a little excited. He was originally a free-spirited martial artist, and he had been depressed for the past six months. Now that the huge forest allowed him to run wild and show off his fists, he was naturally happy.

Bai Yin could tell in the afternoon that Lei Yan liked to hunt, he was strong and agile, and his eyes were full of excitement when chasing his prey.

After dinner, it was dark and there were no demons in the forbidden area. Lei Yan took off his cloak and went into battle lightly.

The two came out of the forbidden area, and Bai Yin took him to climb the mountain.As we go up the mountain, the snow gets thicker. The new snow that fell last night was so soft that it didn't reach our calves.

Suddenly a white shadow flashed across the ridge in the distance, mixed with the white snow, if it was not moving, it would be hard to be spotted, the two looked at each other, and quietly chased after the white shadow.

After chasing to a high mountain pine forest, the white shadow disappeared and hid in the forest.

The snow was so thick that it covered most of the pine forest, and the white shadow flashed from behind a tree. It was a huge white ram as tall as a man.The ram's hooves touched the snow and stood on the snow.

It raised its head and chest up, its horns were hard and sharp and glowing with silver light, it shook its fur proudly, bit off a bunch of pine needles and chewed it in its mouth, and didn't notice anyone approaching quietly.

The two hid behind a tree ten steps away from the ram. Bai Yin pointed to the ram and then to the valley in the distance. Lei Yan immediately understood that he wanted to drive the ram to the valley by himself. He nodded , jumped out suddenly, jumped onto the ram's back, and grabbed its two horns with both hands.

The ram was frightened and rolled up and down, trying to throw the person on it off.Lei Yan grabbed the two horns and sat firmly on the back of the ram.The ram became enraged with embarrassment, scattered its four hooves, and rushed out like lightning.

The speed of the ram running wildly made the wind pass by the cheeks and ears without sound, as if entering another world.

Lei Yan firmly grasped the two horns, and tried hard to break the sheep's head, trying to force it to stop.The ram's neck was in pain, his head was turned to the side, and he rushed straight towards the valley!

It spread its four hooves, with a speed as fast as lightning, and rushed to the cliff of the valley in the blink of an eye.

Bai Yin was already waiting there, the ram was frightened, the speed was too fast, and he couldn't stop when he saw the cliff, Lei Yan saw that the situation was not good, let go of the ram, jumped off the ram, rolled on the ground several times before stopping.

Hakuin made a trick, and a giant silver net appeared out of thin air above the cliff.The ram crashed headlong into the net, and the huge net suddenly tightened, wrapping the ram and falling to the ground.

Hakuin squatted on the ground and patted the ram's neck and said, "Look at your ram's horns curled three times, at least two hundred years old, right?"

The ram nodded.

"Can understand human language, but can't speak?"

The Ram nodded again.

Lei Yan came over and asked out of breath, "Is it just to catch it?"

Hakuin nodded and put the net away, grabbed the ram's horn and said, "We just want to ask you for a piece of horn, which will cost you 100 years of spiritual power at most. If you obediently give it to me, I will let you go."

The ram pawed on the ground with its front hooves, as if it was very upset.But being constrained by others, he had no choice but to nod again.

Hakuin pulled out the dagger, just made a gesture with the blade, and wanted to change the angle of the hand holding the goat's horn, just gave it away a little.The ram turned its head, kicked back and ran out without hesitation!

The two of them were stunned for a moment before they realized that the ram had already gone hundreds of feet away.

Hakuin was in a hurry, and shouted loudly: "Hey! You come back!!... You come back... Come back... Come..."

The mountain wind stopped at some point, and everything was silent, only the echo. After the echo, there were a few light and crisp clicks from the distant hillside.

Bai Yin's mind suddenly went blank, and he said softly, "It's over! Run!"

Lei Yan reacted at the same time, and the two ran away.

The top of Baijuan Mountain is extremely steep, and the slope is more like a cliff. The snow-covered slope splits from the middle and rushes down with a thunderous momentum.

A loud bang came from behind, causing the earth to tremble together.People say that when the snow comes, the earth shakes and the mountains shake, which is absolutely true.

The two stopped on a towering boulder and looked back.Pushing mountains and snowing heads, it was like tens of thousands of horses galloping, overwhelming the sky and covering the earth.

The pine forest where he was just now was instantly submerged by the white waves, and the huge forest did not slow down at all.

Hakuin stood firmly on the boulder, pushed out his palm, white light flashed from the palm, and suddenly the air surged, pushing the mountain and snow rolling until it was split in half by this invisible force, and rushed to both sides.

Finally, the world returned to peace, and both of them were covered in snow, looking at each other and laughing.

Hakuin watched him slap the snow off his body, and his black hair was also full of snowflakes, thinking that he hadn't laughed so heartily in a long time.

The two walked down the mountain, only to find that the horns of the ram were exposed on the snow, and the whole body was firmly buried in the snow.

Bai Yin stepped forward and cut off a small piece of goat's horn and threw it to Lei Yan: "This is a horn, its horn can replenish strength, put it away, and use it when you go back!"

Rocks were exposed where the snow on the top of the mountain fell, and suddenly the rocks loosened and rolled down, as if something was about to come out of the ground.The ground shook, and a huge black shadow climbed up, standing like a hill under the moonlight, and turned towards them.

Lei Yan raised his head and asked softly, "What is this?"

Hakuin also raised his head: "I don't know."

"Aren't you a mountain god!"

"I'm new here too..."
