Chapter 167 The strange baby cries in Guangyuan Square
"Brothers, don't believe it, that new monk is really not an ordinary person!
When he entered the inn, he saw with his own eyes a delicate-looking maid following behind him.
But the strange thing is that I never saw the maid again.
A certain person once heard a traveling escort say that he had witnessed an expert in the art of cutting paper into a beautiful woman, and he could also summon fairies from the moon palace to dance for fun.
I guess that monk is also a powerful figure like this!"
…
Under the ice-covered eaves of the courtyard.
A corner of the corridor covered with clear snow.
Several young people wrapped in old cotton robes sat casually around the stove, eating the dog meat they caught in the evening, drinking the crude mash that could not be sold in the inn, staggering around, laughing and joking.
There are car handlebars, restaurant waiters, craftsman apprentices, and apprentices.
They all grew up together in Lepingfang. During the day, they were busy trying to make a living. Only when night fell could they take a breather and occasionally come out to get together.
However, this winter is not very peaceful, the curfew in the inner city is strict, and they have not been together for a long time.
Sun Aniu, the second boy of the inn who organized the game, was telling the story of the monk with great joy.
"A monk with a maid? He also knows magic? This is quite new."
"I said Aniu, you either drank too much, or... hehe, you miss your girl."
"Hahaha, I think so. I heard that many years ago the government began to restrict Buddhism, leaving only one Buddhist temple in each state and county. As a result, all the monks disappeared within a few years. How can there be any true monks in this world now?
"
"That's right, Aniu, you must be blinded by those beads that can change magic."
When you see everyone, you say something to me, making fun of yourself.
I remembered the contemptuous look in the shopkeeper's eyes again.
Sun A Newton suddenly got angry, slapped the grass under his butt, and said angrily: "I told you the story of a master with good intentions, but you don't believe it? Huh, it's all in vain. I deliberately touched it from under the nose of that thief.
This is such a good wine, I won’t drink it anymore!”
Seeing Sun Aniu picking up the jug and preparing to leave, a few people looked at each other and then laughed.
My friend Hu Laosan grabbed Sun Aniu and said with a smile: "What's the rush? It's rare for everyone to get together? We're only halfway through drinking? I still want to hear you talk about that eminent monk's strange skills."
"That's it. Listen to what A Niu said? He is definitely a master of magic."
"By the way, have you ever heard of it? Three strange things have happened in our county recently... A strange baby is crying in Guangyuan Square? Flowers are blooming in front of the mountain temple, and the governor's daughter is going to become a monk."
"Now we have to add... coming from the east, A Niu meets an expert."
Sun Aniu was amused by everyone and laughed loudly, so he naturally stopped leaving.
Everyone also has good wine again? Everyone is happy.
Before you know it? It’s midnight.
The falling snow gradually stopped, and the cold moonlight fell on the courtyard, leaving only a trace of frost on the ground.
How many people were drinking till their faces turned red, supporting each other and swaying? They were about to leave this abandoned house abandoned by its owner.
Suddenly, a strange sound came from a distance.
Sun Aniu, who was walking at the end, had his eyes blurred. He plucked his ears and tilted his head to look at Hu Laosan aside: "What's the sound?"
Hu Laosan was also drunk. He looked confused: "It seems... there is a baby crying? It's really weird, this is in the middle of the night? Where did the baby come from..."
"Yeah? Where did the baby come from? It's very weird."
Sun Aniu muttered in a low voice? But then, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Baby...monster baby...
Sun Aniu shivered suddenly and suddenly woke up.
"The strange baby in Guangyuan Square is crying... Third child! Wake up! Everyone, wake up!"
Hu Laosan was pinched in the face by Sun Aniu. He screamed in pain and woke up from drinking.
He was about to yell.
The intermittent cry of the strange baby had reached the front of the courtyard.
On the top of the white snow wall, the shadows of the trees were slanting and mottled, but in the blink of an eye, they were submerged by a huge shadow.
The monster was more than nine feet tall, with a big belly and round waist, bulging cheeks, and looked like a giant baby.
It stood upright on the wall, its huge body blocking the cold moonlight, breathing heavily and making strange noises from time to time. There were torn cloths soaked in the blood of living people in its claws, and a viscous liquid of unknown origin was salivating at the corner of its mouth.
The next moment, it turned its head and looked coldly at Sun Aniu, Hu Laosan and others beside the corridor.
"Monster...monster!"
"Run, run!"
Sun Aniu and Hu Laosan's faces were pale, their legs were shaking, and they were shouting at the top of their lungs, but their feet could not move at all.
The monster on the wall looked at Sun Aniu and others.
He opened his mouth wide, as if he wanted to say something.
But before it could finish the words, a violent cold wave spurted out from its mouth, instantly covering Sun Aniu and the others.
The five people in front were frozen into icicles in a daze.
Sun Aniu and Hu Laosan, on the other hand, were awake and watching themselves being frozen into icemen inch by inch, and their hearts were filled with fear.
He saw the monster jumping down from the wall and jumping straight towards him.
Sun Aniu and Hu Laosan closed their eyes in despair.
But at this moment, the sound of breaking wind came from far to near.
Accompanied by bursts of anger.
"The bad guys are here, and monsters should stop harming people!"
"Hahaha, I caught you now!"
"Despicable monster, I've been hiding for so long, let's see where you go!"
Under the moonlight, four men and women wearing gray feather cloaks and black armor bound inside jumped into the air over the wall, each holding a weapon, and attacked the monster.
The monster turned around and blew out a breath of cold air towards the four people.
The four villains showed no fear on their faces, and each used their own methods. Some sacrificed their precious weapons, while others released their magical talismans.
boom!
Two cyclones collided in the center of the courtyard, shattering the snow and ice rocks all over the ground, and a large section of the mottled courtyard wall collapsed.
The monster groaned, tilted its body outwards, and fell backwards.
The four bad guys took advantage of the victory to pursue and pounce on the demon.
The monster glanced at Sun Aniu and others who were close at hand, with a look of struggle in his eyes, but finally gave up, roared unwillingly, turned around and jumped away.
"Chase!"
The long-faced man at the head shouted loudly, then muttered words and pinched the magic formula.
call out!
The exquisite broad sword hanging on the back was unsheathed.
Then he flew with his sword and turned into a stream of light, chasing the monster.
The other two bad guys also performed Qinggong.
Only the female delinquent showed hesitation. She glanced at the people in the corridor who were frozen into icicles and asked through a message: "Will the commander-in-chief save them first? They are poisoned by ice. If they don't take the medicine as soon as possible, it will save their lives."
Pills, life is at risk."
"Half of the elixirs in our house have been divided up by the royal family, how can we waste it on these ordinary people? What's more, they violated the curfew privately, and just attracted monsters and destroyed themselves. The cold poison is already deep, and it is too late to save them."
The delinquent woman's expression changed.
After a while, she sighed softly, looked regretfully at Sun Aniu, Hu Laosan and the others, whispered "Sorry" and walked away.
'Don't go...please...don't leave us...'
Sun Aniu and Hu Laosan looked in the direction where the bad guy was leaving, and the hope that was ignited in their hearts was extinguished again.
In the silence of the night, the delinquent woman's "sorry" was particularly harsh.
Even if they couldn't hear each other's private transmissions, they both knew that they must have been hit by some very powerful sorcery, and even this group of "experts" with vast magical powers couldn't save them.
The cold wind stalked through the ruins and swept in.
Sun Aniu's body was stiff, his eyes were bitter, and his expression was numb, but he could no longer feel the coldness.
He didn't dare to see his friends, and he was filled with regrets. He should not have been impulsive, violated the curfew, attracted monsters, and even caused trouble for a bunch of children.
As far as the eye can see, at the base of the collapsed wall, there is a bent blade of grass, trying to push out against the thick snow.
But in the end, I couldn't survive it, just like myself.
Snapped!
A hemp shoe crossed the broken wall, stepped on the thick snow, and walked slowly over.
Immediately afterwards, there was a pleasant chanting sound, which turned into a ball of heat and swept through Sun Aniu's limbs and bones.
Gradually, Sun Aniu felt that his stiff and numb body was regaining its freedom again.
The deep-rooted coldness in the body seemed to have encountered a natural enemy and retreated in panic.
This feeling is like returning from hell to the human world.
Although his consciousness became blurred, Sun Aniu felt joy in his heart.
He understood that he was saved.
What excited him the most was that the bald man wearing monk's robes, reciting Buddhist scriptures, and saving himself and his children was the one in the story he just told...
"Thank you... eminent monk..."
Sun Aniu didn't wait for his whole body to thaw before he bowed down tremblingly.
A gentle force lifted him up.
"Amitabha, the remaining poison of the donor has not been cleared away. If you sleep for a while, you will recover."
"Eminent monk...compassion..."
Sun Aniu said in a daze, and out of the corner of his eye, Hu Laosan seemed to be looking at the monk in the inn in surprise.
A trace of joy inevitably appeared in his heart... Now who dares not to believe in a certain person? The eminent monk cracked the magic by just chanting sutras. He was more powerful than the other experts just now. It's a pity that he is the third child.
Still awake.
Fortunately, I didn't get dazzled tonight.
"Master...are you going to...eliminate monsters..."
After struggling to say the last sentence, Sun Aniu finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep.
…
"Exterminating demons?"
Zhou Yi stood in the remaining snow in the ruined courtyard after the fierce battle, looking into the depths of the night.
Then he closed his eyes and felt it carefully.
Soon, he opened his eyes, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
But I didn't expect it.
The waiter, who violated the county curfew and called out friends, unintentionally helped himself to open a breakthrough in the unresolved problem.
"Could this be the reason why the popularity of the mountain temple has soared?"
