The clouds were gathering, and it was no longer as late as noon, and the sky was as dark as night.
When the storytelling came to an end, the young monk woke up and rushed back to the temple in a panic.
Yu Sheng said: "It's dark and windy, so let's stay at the inn for one night."
The young monk shook his head violently, "No, no, Master is still waiting for dinner in the temple."
"It's not you who cooks." Yu Sheng said.
"But I have to take the rice back." The little monk slapped his forehead, "Oh no, I haven't turned into a vegetarian yet."
He took out a pack of camellia from his small backpack and said, "I'm going to Hua Zhai."
"Get it directly from the inn. Just bring more camellia when you go down the mountain." Yu Sheng held him back, "There's no rice left in the temple?"
The little monk nodded and said, "The ox is so edible that it ate up five days' worth of food in two days."
The young monk couldn't bear his master's hunger and insisted on going back.
Yu Sheng asked Bai Gaoxing to fetch rice and put it in a bamboo basket. He also fetched a bamboo hat and coir raincoat, and sent the young monk to the stone bridge.
The antelope is waiting at the end of the bridge. As long as he doesn't drink, he will never dare to come within ten steps of Yusheng.
"Listening to books is a waste of time." Yu Sheng patted the little monk's bare head, then put a bamboo hat on him, "Go back quickly."
"Don't worry, there are wolves protecting you." The little monk said, "I will come again tomorrow to listen to the book."
"Listen, your master didn't teach you a lesson last time you went back?" Yu Sheng said.
"Why do you want to teach me a lesson?" The young monk was very surprised. "Oh, that song, Master said those monks are unorganized and undisciplined wild monks."
"We must take this as a warning and insist that the younger ones listen to the older ones, and those who arrive later listen to the temple rules that come first." The young monk said seriously.
Bai Gaoxing put a raincoat on the unicorn's carrying basket, and the little monk waved to them, leading the unicorn and disappearing on the dark mountain road.
As soon as Yu Sheng and the others returned to the inn, heavy raindrops began to hit the eaves.
The Taoist priest settled the car and ran into the inn in the rain. "This rain is really evil," he said.
"The most evil sect." There is also a demon who said this in the demon city between the mountains and forests in the north of Yangzhou City.
This demon has a cyan face, bulging lips and nose, and a pointed face like a mink. Its eyes are particularly small, a little smaller than broad beans.
In his hand he held a wooden stick that was shaped like a grass stem. It was about a foot long. There was nothing surprising about it, but anyone who had seen this wooden stick would never dare to underestimate it.
This staff is called the wind raccoon staff. It can kill people, animals, and birds with just one finger. Those who practice magical powers can immobilize themselves with one finger.
This wind raccoon staff can even control the wind, but no one in the city has seen it with their own eyes, it only exists in legends.
The big demon is standing in the attic.
This attic was built on a hilltop in the northwest of Demon City, overlooking the city below and the main roads leading from north to south.
Now the whole city was plunged into mist and rain, and the lights of thousands of houses were lit one by one at his feet, making him feel as if he were the king of the city.
But as soon as his left hand caught the raindrops falling from the eaves, this feeling disappeared. After all, there were people in this world that he could not afford to offend.
The big demon murmured, "She actually still cares about this land."
"Yeah, it's so evil." The subordinate behind didn't hear the last sentence and echoed: "It can actually break the curse of the evil bird 'Yu'."
The big demon didn't answer him. He looked at the rolling dark clouds in the distance and couldn't help but think of his tragic past.
It hung on the wall for ten years. After she left the bamboo forest elegant house, it accidentally caught the wind and escaped back to the Demon City.
For a demon, ten years is just a blink of an eye.
But for him, those ten years were so unbearable that people close to him now don’t know where he was during those ten years.
After escaping, he sent someone to investigate and found out that she had disappeared long ago, which was why he dared to show up in the Demon City.
But that bamboo forest was still his nightmare and restricted area, and he didn't dare to take a step closer.
More than twenty years have passed now. He originally thought that she had forgotten the bamboo forest and the town, but now it seems that is not the case.
"For her, there are very few things that she can care about." The demon said to himself, "The porridge delivered last time had the smell of her blood in it, didn't it?"
"Wha, what?" The men behind him couldn't understand what he was saying.
The big demon didn't want to explain. He saw a black cloud transforming into a dragon and asked: "Where are the remnants of the wolf demon who retreated from Yangzhou?"
The subordinate said: "Let's rest in the mountains to the west. They didn't get any benefits from crossing the border this time. Only a dozen came back."
The big demon said: "Send these dozen wolf heads to Yangzhou City."
"Ah?" The subordinates suspected that they heard wrongly, "Wouldn't this be bad?"
After all, we are all monsters. We will not see you when we look up. We will see you when we look down.
"Not so good? Would it be better if I hung you on the wall for painting?" the demon said.
"Yes, yes, I'll have someone do it right away." The subordinate didn't dare to argue and lowered his head and agreed.
The city lord has been missing for more than ten years, but he still has a bad habit of hanging people or monsters on the wall.
Does he think that everyone is like him, that even if there is only a skin left, he can survive the wind?
The attic where they were now was hung with human and demon skins that had angered the city lord.
Every time my subordinates came up, they were always on tenterhooks, fearing that they might get involved too.
"Come back." The big demon called him back again, "I have something else for you to do."
"What, what?" The subordinate bent down and listened.
"You raise your head." The big demon said to him, "Let me see your skin first."
"Ah." His subordinates suddenly panicked. Sometimes the big demon would hang people or demons on the wall just because they liked it.
"Raise your head!" The big demon frowned, and his frightened men hurriedly raised their heads.
Seeing that his subordinate looked like a human, the big demon nodded with satisfaction, "Yeah, not bad."
"Pa ta", his legs weakened and he fell to the ground. Needless to say, he was attracted to him and wanted to hang him on the wall.
"City, City Lord, this, this is not my true face, I look very, very ugly." The subordinate apologized.
"What are you thinking about? I am a cruel, ruthless, cruel, and ruthless person who hangs people on the wall just for fun..."
The big demon talked more and more enthusiastically, until the thunder in the sky shocked him and he changed the topic, "The peerless beauty with the appearance of overwhelming the country?"
The men did not dare to raise their heads, but they were very confused. They thought that this was such a mess. Did the city lord want to become a female?
The big demon turned his head and looked at the lightning flash, "Oh~" It was just an ordinary thunder, but it forced him to say the words he desperately wanted to forget.
This shows how miserable he lived in those ten years and how unforgettable it was for him.
The big demon didn't speak for a long time. His subordinates quietly looked up at him and saw fear on the big demon's face, as if he had remembered something extremely terrifying.
"Ahem, it's nothing." The demon came back to his senses, "You can quietly go to Yangzhou and help me find out something."
The subordinate nodded, "I wonder what the mayor wants to ask about?"
She is definitely not in Yangzhou. News of her came from Fairy Mountain a few years ago, and many people were teased by her.
Those left in Yangzhou City may be her descendants, or they may be treasures stained with blood.
Among them, treasure is the most likely. After all, with her identity and temperament, it is difficult for a man to fall in her eyes, and it is almost impossible to leave any descendants to tie her down.
After hanging it on the wall for ten years, I still know this about her.
But you still have to check.
"Go and find out if there are any interesting treasures or people who are born to be very powerful in Yangzhou." Da Yao said.
