The talisman burned in the water and turned into a dragnet, instantly covering the kappa demon.
The kappa demon stood still as if frozen, and the fear in its eyes was frozen. For it, time and life seemed to have stopped.
shore.
Although Beiyue Feihuai couldn't see clearly what was going on at the bottom of the lake, his keen perception could easily capture the strange behavior of the kappa demon.
Not to be missed.
He made a prompt decision, twisted his sword and put his middle and index fingers together, pointing at the Peach Blossom Pond.
Whoosh!
The sword was instantly unsheathed, like a dragon falling from the sky, and plunged into the peach blossom pool.
Pfft——
The water splashed up to a height of three feet.
A vortex appeared on the lake where the sword had struck it, spinning rapidly and getting bigger and bigger.
The sword floated like a snake in the water, slicing across the kappa demon's neck.
Blood gushed out, dyeing the nearby pool water red, making it extremely scarlet.
Beiyue Feihuai is indeed a master of swordsmanship, and this sword demonstrates his "quickness, ruthlessness and accuracy" to the fullest.
but……
There are still some differences in the body structure between demons and humans. Its body has a very strong recovery ability. The best way to kill a demon is not to cut off its head, but to crush its demon pill!
Although Beiyue Feihuai's sword separated the body of the kappa, its vitality was not completely cut off.
Li Nuo is definitely an expert among experts when it comes to slaying monsters.
After all, the monsters suppressed in the [Purgatory Tower] are all his experimental subjects, and he has already mastered the fastest and most labor-saving way to kill the monsters.
At this time, the kappa demon's strength was greatly reduced, and his body was as brittle as tissue paper. Of course, he would not waste this opportunity. He stabbed the kappa into the belly with one knife and then stirred it hard.
Katsa.
The demon pill shattered.
The kappa seemed to be having a flashback, and its originally scattered childlike eyes had regrouped. It roared something low, and Li Nuo only heard the word "blood pill." After three breaths, its childish eyes turned pale, and its whole body collapsed. .
At the same time, the golden book in Li Nuo's mind showed a shadow of golden light, and two objects appeared——
[Intermediate Experience Pill] and [Golden Body Dharma Appearance (Incomplete)].
As before, he swallowed the [Experience Pill] directly. The effect was not much different from that obtained from the white snake demon. Li Nuo estimated that with ten more intermediate experience pills, he would be able to break the shackles of the realm.
But this [Golden Body Dharma Appearance (Incomplete)] is a bit interesting...
Obviously, this is a Buddhist technique, and it is also a high-end product. Unfortunately, the word "incomplete" greatly reduces its value.
However, a kappa demon actually learned Buddhist techniques, which is a bit intriguing...
Li Nuo recalled carefully.
After the Kappa demon transformed, a pale shadow did appear behind him. Perhaps because of its incompleteness, it was very different from the golden body dharma that those Buddhist disciples cultivated. Moreover, the scene was chaotic at that time, and no one noticed those details. .
"Uncle, uncle! Are you okay?"
On the shore, Qiluo shouted anxiously.
Li Nuo recovered his mind and quickly got out of the Peach Blossom Pond.
The body of the kappa also floated out.
Li Nuo climbed ashore, ran the air machine to steam the clothes dry, and said, "The kappa demon is dead. Is this the end of the big deal in the Ministry of Punishment?"
Although Beiyue Feihuai's clothes were in tatters, he held his head high and had a good temperament. He said proudly: "Of course!"
It can be said that this is the biggest case he has ever handled in his official position as head of the Criminal Department. Although he failed to capture anyone alive, the flaws are not concealed. With the body of the Kappa Demon, it is enough to handle the case.
Qin Beitian stroked his beard, grinned and said, "I would also like to thank Brother Li for your help. I hope I can transfer him."
"Congratulations to both of you."
Li Nuo thought for a while and did not tell anything about the Kappa Demon Association [Golden Body Dharma Appearance].
This matter involves too much...
If Buddhism is really involved, it will be a huge threat to the country!
Even if something goes wrong, Beiyue Feihuai will be implicated.
The size of one aristocratic family is nothing compared to the entire Buddhist system.
The Beiyue family will definitely cut off their strong men and treat Beiyue Feihuai as an abandoned son.
Then here comes the problem!
Sacrificing blood to humans to refine blood elixirs...are Buddhists really not afraid of being punished by God for doing this?
Right!
Divine punishment is a Taoist term, while Buddhism talks about cause and effect. They should have some means to shield the power of cause and effect so that it cannot get involved.
Back to business.
Beiyue Feihuai cupped his hands and said to everyone: "Thank you all for your help. I have to return to Chang'an immediately to recover. I'll see you again if we have the chance."
Qin Beitian smiled and said: "Come here, fish out the body of the kappa and smear it with slaked lime..."
Qin Beitian didn't dare to do a life-threatening job like a head-on fight, but he was quite skilled at the job of collecting corpses and finishing.
The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.
The government officials he led rushed to salvage the body of the kappa.
They were not afraid at all, and their faces shone with excitement.
Yes, this is something you can brag to others about after dinner. How can you let it go so easily?
Before everyone left, they also went to see the abbot.
Li Nuo deliberately stayed behind and looked at the Zen master secretly, but his expression did not change at all. Even when he heard that they killed the kappa on the spot, he was still indifferent, which made him a little confused.
Kappa and Buddhism are definitely inextricably linked.
The old monk wasn't involved, so he naturally didn't believe it.
What's more, the kappa demon is only in the fifth level. Even if it can perform illusions, it will never escape the eyes of the fourth level Zen master!
Whatever...
I am just a small jailer, why should I get involved in something that could cost me my life?
Besides, I am no longer alone. Now that I am married, I have to think more about my wife.
Even if the sky falls, there is still a tall man holding it up. He is not a savior, so why worry about it in vain.
Afterwards, everyone parted ways on the banks of the Yuzhou River.
Heading all the way back to Chang'an and back to the government office for errands, Li Nuo took Qi Luo to his own shop.
Well, I also brought back a little follower, Cui Liyan.
Li Nuo asked as he walked: "Li Yan, aren't you going back to Chang'an with Qin Xiaolou and the others?"
Cui Liyan glanced at Qiluo secretly, and then said righteously: "Li Zian, I am here to investigate the murder of Cui Xiangdi. If the murderer is not found, I will not return to Chang'an!"
"When you said this, did you feel some gray dust appear on Wen Xin?"
Li Nuo joked.
"Ahem... I recite holy words every day and wipe my heart from time to time, so that it won't get dusty."
Cui Liyan straightened his clothes and manners.
Li Nuo smiled and said: "Okay, I've shown my cards. I actually killed Cui Xiangdi. What do you think of me?"
"ah?"
Cui Liyan turned pale with shock, and the corners of his lips trembled.
"I'm just teasing you. You really aren't scared. It seems that it is necessary for you to go to Shushan to practice. It's best to develop a literary talent."
Seeing Cui Liyan's appearance, Li Nuo couldn't help laughing.
To be honest, although Cui Xiangdi's death was related to him, he did not die by his sword.
