[Xianxia] Accompanying Longmian

Ming Yuan snorted, pointed at the kitchen knives and sticks in the hands of the monkey with a cold face, and said, "You all stole these from the town."

The big monkey shrank its tail, answered "yes" in a small voice, and then quickly expressed its willingness to return the things intact.

Ming Yuan was noncommittal, and asked instead: "Do you know that the town is guarded by the Mu family?"

The big monkey nodded honestly and said: "I heard that those Taoist priests surnamed Mu are very powerful. We are all little demons, and we dare not provoke them. We have to wait until evening before we dare to wander around the town."

Ming Yuan asked again: "For a hundred years, there have been several generations of Mu clan living here. Have you ever seen who sent them to the town?"

The big monkey shook his head with a bitter face, then turned around and asked the little monkey behind him, "Have you seen it?"

The little monkeys shook their heads one after another, and only one answered aloud: "I remember meeting a very scary person many years ago. He looked nothing like those villagers, and he was wearing a pretty doll. Hero, the person you are looking for."

Ming Yuan raised his chin: "Let's listen."

The little monkey thought for a while, and said: "At that time, I only dared to look at it from a distance, because the aura on that person was very frightening. It wasn't a demonic aura, nor... anyway, I had never seen that kind of aura. He was wearing a white shirt. The robe, the hood, and the veil, I didn’t see his face.” After speaking, he also felt that he was talking nonsense, and he couldn’t help shrinking his neck, for fear that Ming Yuan would blame him.

Ming Yuan didn't hold out much hope at first, but now he has made progress, which is a surprise, and he asked the big monkey again: "Is there a tiger spirit here? Where is its demon cave?" The tiger demon's Taoism is deeper than these monkey spirits, and he may know more things.

The big monkey rolled his eyes and said: "There is indeed a tiger demon, but that tiger demon is not the same as us. It has gathered a bunch of wolf spirits, leopard spirits and so on. They are all masters who like to eat people. They often go to the town to make trouble, and heroes should be careful if they find it." They are often bullied by the tiger monster on weekdays. The goblins were eaten, and now it deliberately told the story of the tiger demon cannibalism, just hoping that the person in front of him would destroy the group of goblins in a fit of anger.

But Ming Yuan was not fooled: "I'm not one of those Taoist priests who always talk about helping the world and saving people. Don't try to use this trick to trick me into cleaning up that tiger spirit for you. Answer my question honestly and it is gone."

Seeing that his mind had been punctured, the big monkey didn't dare to play tricks any more, he hurriedly bowed and apologized, and pointed out the location of the tiger demon's cave to Ming Yuan.Ming Yuan didn't think it would be difficult for these little things, so he waved his sleeves and went to trouble the tiger demon.

=====================

Mu Bai slept very deeply and comfortably, he hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time, every time after strengthening the seal, he would feel the dantian was empty and cold, and the whole person was not so much asleep as he was passed out, But today, it seems that there is a small stove hidden in the chest, and the limbs and bones are warm and comfortable, which is very comfortable.

Sitting up from the bed refreshed, Mu Bai stretched his waist, feeling hungry, took some dry steamed buns and ate some with water, thinking that he didn't need to eat without food, but recently his body was getting worse It's not good, I have to eat something, and I can't help but feel sad. Could it be that he, like the ancestors of the Mu family, can't escape the fate of early death?No, he didn't want to die. Although he was lonely in this cave, it was better than dying unconsciously. As long as he escaped far away, escaped from this town, escaped from everything, maybe there was still a glimmer of life...

Thinking of this, Mu Bai only felt the spiritual energy in his dantian churning, and a wave of evil energy went straight to the Zifu, and he secretly cried out "no".Ever since he started to vomit blood, he realized that he was born with inner demons, and whenever he resented the fate of being cursed and having to guard the monsters, the inner demons would take the opportunity to make trouble.

He hurriedly jumped onto the boulder and sat cross-legged, closed his eyes tightly, and silently recited the mantra of purifying his heart, trying to suppress the demons in his heart, but the more he read, the more confused he became, and he couldn't help scolding: "Get back quickly, don't mess with my mind!"

"It's you who messed up, haha—" There was a sinister laugh, and Mu Bai hurriedly opened his eyes, and saw a man in black robes floating on the water pool, looking at him with the corner of his mouth curled up. It was transformed by resentment, and its appearance was extremely ugly. There were countless abscesses on one face, and some of them were oozing yellow pus, which was very disgusting.

"Protecting the common people, sealing monsters is the mission of the Mu family, and Mu Bai will never forget it." Mu Bai took a deep breath, and said firmly, not sure if he was speaking to the demons in his heart, or to himself.

"Protect the people? You mean those stupid villagers?" The demon sneered, "Even a manure picker in this town can live to be five or sixty years old, but what about you? You're about to die—"

"Evil Obstacle!" Mu Bai struck the heart demon with a palm, and the heart demon instantly turned into a ball of black air, circling in the air, and then condensed into that ugly body again.

"You are very scared," said the heart demon relentlessly, with a terrifying face approaching Mu Bai little by little, "You are afraid of death, and even more afraid that there will be no one who will miss you after death, because you know in your heart , Those villagers you guarded during your lifetime will never remember you after you die, just like they never remembered your father."

"Shut up!" Mu Bai flew up in the air, grabbed the sword in his hand, and slashed at the heart demon with his backhand, but only heard a "clang", the ice jade sword collided with a pure black sword in the heart demon's hand.

Mu Bai turned pale with shock, a few days ago, he could dispel the inner demon with a single swing of his sword, but after a while, this monster actually condensed into a solid body.

"These are obviously what you think in your heart, why don't you allow me to say it?" The demon smiled sinisterly, "Hey, go and open that gourd, release the contents, speak nice things to him, use If the flesh and blood of the whole town pleases him, we may still have a chance."

"Delusion!" Mu Bai leaned back, squeezed the sword formula in his hand and yelled, "Let's sway the demons and evil spirits, kill the demons with one sword", and the sword in his hand transformed into hundreds of identical ice jade swords, all facing the demons in their hearts. Stab it, and instantly twist it into a ball, the black air dissipates and disappears.

Mu Bai staggered a step back, blood slowly flowed out from the corner of his mouth.Demons are born from the heart, he and the demons are one, and he doesn't feel good if he hurts the demons, but this kind of selfishness cannot be eliminated, so he can only drag it on like this day by day until he dies. Elimination is also considered a hundred.

Thinking of this, Mu Bai smiled wryly, shook his head mockingly, and was about to return to the boulder to meditate and practice, but he heard the banging of the demon-suppressing bell at the entrance of the cave, so he had to force himself and fly out of the cave.Not long after the tiger demon was driven away by him, why did the monster invade the people again, this time we must cut the grass and root out, otherwise if one day I really can't hold on, who can the villagers in the town rely on?

"Who do you rely on? Don't you feel worried about protecting a group of people who live longer than yourself?" A familiar voice echoed in his mind.

Mu Bai paused, gritted his teeth and said, "The heart demon—"

"It's me," the heart demon responded with a smile, "It's not so easy to kill me, but I will always follow you."

Mu Bai knew that something was wrong, but the bell rang fast, if he finished dealing with the inner demons and then removed the demons, the entire town might be slaughtered, so he could only use his spiritual power to fly towards the town.

=====================

When Mu Bai arrived, the surroundings were already in a mess, the small shops facing the street were smashed to pieces, vegetables, melons and fruits were scattered all over the place, and there were many dirty steamed stuffed buns among them.Several villagers lay motionless in a pool of blood, not knowing whether they were dead or alive, and three or two old people and children who couldn't run fast were held down to the ground by two wolf demons, crying in pain.

Mu Bai drew his sword out of its sheath, swung it violently, and a stream of sword energy directed at the two monsters, forcing them to let go of the villagers and stagger back.Then he rubbed his body and rushed forward, fighting with the two wolf demons.

Those two wolf demons were originally subordinates of the previous tiger demon. The tiger demon suffered a loss under Mu Bai's hands. He felt resentful and unwilling. When the opportunity came, he made up his mind to get rid of Mu Bai before he recuperated.But it's not stupid, knowing that it can't beat Mu Bai in terms of real ability, and now it's injured, so it blatantly ordered two of its subordinates to come over to test the waters.

At the beginning, the two wolf demons were still worried, afraid that they would accidentally be stabbed by Mu Bai's sword and die unexpectedly, but gradually they saw that the monk's spiritual power was stagnant and his moves were slow, and he was not as powerful as in the legends at all. Let go of his hands and feet for a quick attack, and Mu Bai immediately couldn't bear it any longer. Before he could dodge enough, he was caught with four bloodstains by the sharp wolf claws on his chest. On the counter for dishes, I almost lost my breath.

Before he could catch his breath, one of the wolf demons had already leaped forward and slapped Mu Bai's throat. Mu Bai quickly raised his ice jade sword to block, and the sharp white teeth directly bit the hard bone. On the hilt of the sword, the wolf monster let go of the pain and howled up to the sky. Mu Bai took the opportunity to turn over and land on the ground. Unexpectedly, just as he stood firm, he was hit on the back by a stool thrown by another wolf monster, and fell down all at once. On the ground, the gauze crown on his head fell to the ground in embarrassment, and the ice jade sword that was tightly held in his hand also flew out at this time.

Seeing that he lost his weapon, Mu Bai felt very anxious, but his whole body was weak and powerless, the purple mansion was empty, and he couldn't raise any spiritual power, so he could only shout to a villager who was lying on the ground: "Throw the sword here!"

The man stole a glance at the ice jade sword that fell at his feet, and then at the ferocious wolf demon behind Mu Bai, he let out a wail from his throat, ignored Mu Bai, and went under the table on his own .Mu Bai had no choice but to grit his teeth and use all his hands and feet, struggling to crawl towards the direction of the Bingyu Sword.
