Chapter 129 The identity of the donkey is revealed
"Run, the further away the better!"
Zhang Guanzhu jumped into the air and jumped down the slope, shouting loudly to remind the donkey waiting for him to run away.
The black donkey grabbed the young badger that was still shaking the mud, threw it on its back, spread its hooves, and ran as fast as possible along the southeast river. Zhang Wenfeng landed on the muddy ground and ran like a stream of smoke.
"Boom", the loud sound on the desert island was heard for more than ten miles at night.
The ground shook, the river stirred up waves, countless rock fragments flew into the air, and raindrops were thrown around.
Zhang Wenfeng protected the donkey and himself with his sword, breaking the dense rain of falling stones.
After passing through a forest and rushing up the river embankment, I stopped.
There was a "crackling" sound like hail in the distance. Zhang Wenfeng took out an oil paper packet from his arms, swallowed a packet of medicinal powder, and drank it with the spiritual spring water in the gourd.
He had consumed too much, and he had to recover some energy as soon as possible to take precautions.
He tied the gourd around his waist and said to the dirty and muddy donkey: "Let's go back and have a look!"
He ran along the embankment with his legs running, using his breath to sort out the bruises and pain on his chest, and then sent a message to the donkey: "You are not injured, are you?"
"No, how could I be injured? Hey, a ghost..."
The donkey was just about to brag a few words about his cowhide. He relaxed his sore hind limbs and suddenly paused.
A green will-o'-the-wisp flew from the river.
After experiencing the Battle of Xihe Mountain, it is no longer afraid of ghosts and is no longer the timid donkey it was before.
"Don't hit it!"
Zhang Wenfeng saw several groups of ghosts emerging from far and near. He guessed that they were released from the place of suppression or ran out of the black flags. He hurriedly shouted to stop the donkeys, sheathed his sword, and chanted "Tai Shang Cave"
"Xuan Ling Bao Tian Zun's Wonderful Sutra for Saving Suffering and Eradicating Sin".
The sound of chanting scriptures floats in the air, light and ethereal, soothing the panic, anger and resentment of the deceased souls.
He reached out and took out three incense sticks from the black cloth bag storage bottle, shook them in the air, and used Yuan Qi to light the incense sticks.
He walked forward holding incense, waving the ancient ritual of attracting ghosts with his right hand, and a look of compassion on his face.
Ghosts are scattered everywhere, flying in search of incense and following the sound of scriptures.
After being reborn once and twice, Zhang Wenfeng also summed up a set of effective ways to transcend ghosts.
He chanted scriptures as he walked, in a cadence, and after a while he turned around and came to the vicinity of the deserted island, half of which was destroyed by the explosion. He first went down the river embankment, and then walked step by step onto the ruined and suppressed area.
Principal Wu and the other three returned from the northwest. They stopped on the river embankment and looked at the red light of the three-point incense.
No one made any noise to disturb, and silently watched Zhang Guanzhu perform the act of transcendence.
Dots of will-o'-the-wisps gathered in the sky over the ruined desert island, hovering endlessly around the wisp of incense rising into the sky.
There were whimpering ghosts crying quietly, mixed in with the sound of the scriptures. They were not noticeable at first, but later other ghosts joined in the crying, and gradually formed a sad resonance, lingering, describing their sufferings.
The sound of the scriptures is like the most gentle medicine in the world, washing away the souls of ghosts and monsters that have been tortured.
Over and over again, I chanted the sutra until I became quiet, and the sad sounds gradually stopped.
The chanting voice of the temple master became softer and gentler, neither impatient nor impetuous, and the will-o'-the-wisps in the air slowly disappeared at the end of the incense mist rising to a high place.
The remaining ten or so black shadows transformed into human forms, bowing and bowing to the sutra reciters below.
As the Taoist priest below returned the gift with one hand, the black shadow turned invisible and entered the underworld.
After completing a good deed, Zhang Wenfeng inserted the nearly burning incense stick into the ground. He sighed in his heart and stood in the darkness, waiting for the three principals Wu and the donkey to come up.
Wu Qianping clasped his fists and saluted solemnly, followed by Yun Qiuhe and Chen Qingqiao.
The three of them knew very well that it was Guanzhu Zhang who smashed the last handful of copper coins and used the secret method to break the possessed monster's nearly collapsed body and win this victory. Otherwise, their lives and deaths would be unpredictable.
The two copper coins embedded in the monster's body caused the monster to behave abnormally, which they all witnessed.
Of course, as companions, they would not ask in detail the reason.
"Don't take it for granted, I will be blessed with infinite blessings!"
Zhang Wenfeng hurriedly cupped his fists and returned the salute to the three of them.
Wu Qianping laughed and said: "Brother Zhang is a lucky general. Every time we encounter adversity, we can turn it into good luck. We deserve it. We deserve it."
After narrowly escaping from death, he was filled with emotion. He looked at the huge black pit created by the explosion and said: "Fortunately, the devil fused in a hurry, and the energy of distracting thoughts in the body was full of conflicts and could not be completely suppressed.
Seeing how well prepared it was with the Soul Flag, it was obvious that the evil creatures had been well prepared before they merged. However, they did not fully reach an agreement. They were still holding on to some luck and wanted to seize the bodies of several monks in an attempt to escape. .
In this place, I have to go back and look up the classics and documents. What exactly was suppressed back then? It almost caused us to fall into a big trap."
Yun Qiuhe held in her hand the flagpole that had been blown up and left only withered bones. She picked it up on the way back and said with a smile: "Master, I have to make a suggestion. Our Daolu branch is already short of monks. Don't spread it out anymore." , Anyway, next time I go on a mission, I will be on the same team as Zhang Guanzhu. We had two big crises. Although the danger was saved, we have to learn lessons."
One arm was exposed in the night sky, the whole person was in a miserable state, and she didn't care about the dirt on her face.
Her desire to advance and retreat together with Zhang Guanzhu was extremely strong.
She is not afraid of the dangers of life and death on the way to experience, but no one can stand the chance of encountering a demon that is completely beyond their strength.
Wu Qianping nodded thoughtfully and said: "That's right. It's a waste of manpower to make the law enforcement guards exhausted, and we can't form a joint force... From now on, send your men out, in groups of three, to strengthen inspections within the county. What have you discovered? Report it immediately and you can work together to solve the problem. When the old master arrives, we can discuss a charter together."
Yun Qiuhe said with a smile: "The hospital master is wise! You, the hospital master, can make the decision. There is no need to discuss it with Senior Brother Fu."
Zhang Wenfeng had a smile on his face.
Although he was free with permission, the other two law enforcement guards were so busy that he didn't think so just by looking at them.
"That can't happen. I want to run out, we can't stop him."
Wu Qianping was in a good mood. He joked a few words to relax the tense moods of several people. Then he used the jade seal to carefully check the area. After confirming that no fish had slipped through the net, he ordered his men who returned to the nearby river embankment to guard the place in three groups.
They walked towards Xiahe Village.
You can rest for more than an hour before dawn.
Heal your injuries and nourish your spirit.
Wu Qianping and Zhang Guanzhu fell behind and asked through a message: "Brother Zhang, this donkey you raised has extraordinary spirituality. It knows how to protect its owner at critical moments. It's not easy."
He looked at the donkey carefully and could not see any fluctuations in evil spirit except that it was a little dirty.
But being able to leap into the air, turn around in the air, and kick away several phantom attacks of black spears thrown by the demon at lightning speed without being damaged, is it impossible for an ordinary donkey to do this?
He really didn't pay attention to the inconspicuous little badger covered in mud on the donkey's back.
Zhang Wenfeng knew that Wu Qianping was suspicious.
Fortunately, in order to help him, the former mountain god took risks and used magical powers twice without being exposed.
He no longer kept it secret and said: "This donkey grew up in a Taoist temple. It listened to us doing homework and chanting sutras all the year round. It somehow awakened its spiritual wisdom. I spent some time to make it successfully recognize its master and prepare to pass." In a few days, I will take it to the city to check its identity."
There are many ways to make monsters recognize their masters in Taoist classics, which is not a secret.
The difficult thing is to make monsters willingly serve as masters of human monks.
Wu Qianping stopped and said to the two people in front who turned back: "You go first, Brother Zhang and I have something to say." After sending the two people away, he asked with interest: "With the spiritual intelligence turned on, it is a spiritual beast. Does this donkey have any unique abilities?"
If you can't see the evil spirit, you have to take a test.
Zhang Wenfeng smiled and extended his hand to invite him, walked to the riverside dock, and said through a message: "I will let him perform an attack spell. Master, please choose a target within ten feet."
Wu Ganping pointed at a small tree in front of the trail and said, "That's it."
Zhang Wenfeng looked at the donkey.
The donkey pouted, and with a "crack" sound, a silvery lightning beam as thick as a wheat stalk appeared out of thin air, hitting the small tree trunk, causing the tree trunk to burst into flames and smoke.
Wu Qianping was surprised for a moment, then smiled from ear to ear and said: "Okay! What a great skill!"
What a big surprise, it turned out to be a donkey who knew thunder.
Zhang Guanzhu pointed at the young badger standing like a clay statue on the donkey's back, and said with a smile: "Take a closer look at it and see what's different about it?"
Now that the donkey's identity is revealed, he doesn't mind giving him a surprise along with the badger cub.
"Uh... ok, another spiritual beast!"
Wu Qianping used his spiritual eye to look carefully and saw the clues immediately.
It suddenly dawned on me that this badger cub with extremely weak demonic aura should be the cub of the demon badger that had just given birth in Xiheshan and died unexpectedly. The old man had been searching along the mountain for a long time.
He guessed that Brother Zhang might have spent the capital of a drunken fruit to raise badger cubs.
How else could such a small wild creature become so smart and become a monster?
It's not yet the period of explosive spiritual energy surge, so no natural monsters can appear.
