[!--title--]

After listening to Chaohou's words, Chu Shici felt that all this was caused by the trash gods.

He observed Chaohou's expression to make sure he wasn't lying.

Unlike the scheming Hades, there is only pure money exchange between the monkey and the stone carving spirit.

It is obvious that the stone carving is well aware of his temperament and has concealed many things from him.The nine-tailed vixen knows a lot more than monkeys.

It's just that the nine-tailed fox often hangs out with stone sculptures, and it's impossible to catch it if it hides its head and shows its tail.

The monkey said everything he knew, and Chu Shici also handed over the last piece of jewelry.

He touched his shriveled wallet and asked him one last question, "What does it mean to be in a painting?"

Chaohou bit the golden ring, "She turned into a white marble sculpture. When I touched the stone slab, she would suck it in and turn it into a mural on the stone sculpture. Isn't the stone sculpture body broken? She said that this would especially affect her cultivation. Zhou asked me to stay in her body for two days, and she concentrated on cultivation."

"After entering the painting, are you conscious?"

"No, I don't know anything when it's dark. It's the same when I lent her my body. It feels like I fell into a deep sleep in an instant."

Chu Shici was taken aback, "You dare to borrow this, aren't you afraid that she will really eat you up?"

Chaohou grinned, "Why don't you be afraid, but people die for money. If you have money, you will be respected. If you don't have money, you will be worthless. She pays for my life, and the money I earn can make monkeys grandchildren." Let’s live a good life together, this deal is not a loss.”

Because the tidal monkeys cooperated very well, the snake demon who walked all the way and fought all the way did not destroy its lair.

Chu Shici asked it where to find the stone carving essence, and Chaohou said that she separated eighteen small stones from her body and hid them in the golden statue.

The main body never hides its head, and usually shuttles back and forth between the clones.In order to facilitate contact, it also left a gold statue.

It may be that it sells everything for money, so it ran over and took the statue away last night.

After Chaohou finished speaking, he stretched out his hand, "But I know where else there is."

Chu Shici rummaged through all his pockets and shook his head regretfully.

Chaohou wasn't angry either, he just skipped the topic and started to pretend to be stupid.

There are a lot of gold, silver and jewels in the snake demon's lair, and there is still time to rush back from the rabbit hole to get them.

Chu Shici raised his head to discuss with Brother Zhe, but when he looked up, he saw Xun Zhe's gloomy face.

At the moment when his patience ran out, Xun Zhe leaned forward suddenly, grabbed the monkey monster by the neck, and made him squeal.

When they were put down again, Chaohou honestly told them the clues.

Xun Zhe didn't intend to stay here for a long time. Chu Shici originally wanted to be with him, but before he left, he took a look at the dishes on the table and couldn't move for a while.

Xun Zhe climbed to the entrance of the cave, feeling light on the top of his head, and something was missing.

He turned around and saw that with a helpless smile on his face, Monk Puxin was flying out with abalone, lobster and king crab in his arms.

The palm-sized small wooden sculpture struggled to drag a bottle of red wine, and its legs were thrashing.

Xun Zhe leaned over to pick up the red wine, and pulled off the small wooden spirit hanging on it, "What are you doing with these?"

The small wooden carving flopped back and forth, pointing at the lobster in Monk Puxin's arms, "These things are quite expensive, and they're not so easy to buy in this day and age. Brother Zhe, you haven't eaten it yet, pack it up and go back and taste it."

Xun Zhe took a few glances at the lobster and king crab, and said in a tone of disgust, "It's ugly, I don't eat ugly things."

Chu Shici: ...

As soon as the days get better, the tail turns up, and it's not the time to gnaw on rotten fruits as treasures in the cave.

...............

According to the clues given by Chaohou, there is a golden statue placed in the Great Sun God Sect.

Most of the believers of that cult are from poor families, who think that after committing suicide, they can live a good life in the underworld.

Dayangtian not only coaxed believers to commit suicide, but also asked them to drag others to die together.It is said that the more people die, the more happiness everyone will enjoy after death.

After those people were fooled to death by her, she would go over through the clone in the golden statue and eat their souls.

This is a way for monsters to practice evil, similar to sucking energy.

There is a long distance from the northeast to the headquarters of the religion, and there is a river in the middle.

After the Rabbit Spirit sent them to the nearest rabbit hole, he told Xun Zhe that they could take a boat or a car.

It is now evening, the setting sun shines on the river, and the scenery looks beautiful.

Xun Zhe's money was taken away by the monkey, so he used a secret trick to sneak into the cruise ship with the little wood carving spirit, and sat down in a corner where no one was around.

The cruise ship started slowly and floated on the river.

Xun Zhe propped his cheeks and looked out of the window quietly with downcast eyes.

The damp wind blew by, caressing his silver hair.The fiery red sun shone on him, casting a bright light on his slender eyelashes.

He could feel a few passengers peeping at him not far away, both men and women, their fiery eyes kept falling on his face.

Xun Zhe frowned slightly, then turned his head and looked over coldly.

Most of the passengers turned away, only a few men stared at him.

The undisguised desire in their eyes irritated him.

The two sides looked at each other for a while, and a man in a suit and leather shoes came over, "Alone? Can I sit across from you?"

The words were interrogative sentences, but before Xun Zhe could answer, he sat down directly.

Chu Shici was lying on Brother Zhe's lap to catch up on sleep when he was kicked awake by the system.

[A Ci, don't sleep, someone is teasing your husband! 】

Hearing the movement outside, Chu Shici woke up suddenly.

He grabbed Brother Zhe's clothes and climbed up. When he finally got to the top, before he had time to see who was opposite, he was pushed down by Xun Zhe with one finger.

Chu Shici fell back onto Xun Zhe's lap. Monk Puxin, who had been quiet all this time, floated over and raised his hand to signal him to be calm.

"It's just discussing art, don't worry about the benefactor Chu. There are too many people now, it's inconvenient for the benefactor to show up."

Chu Shici didn't insist anymore, and eavesdropped with the system.

The man who hooked up with his old Gong sounds like he is in his 20s.He claimed to be a scout, and Xun Zhe had great potential for development, so he asked him if he was interested in becoming a star.

Xun Zhe remained silent, looking at the sky expressionlessly.

What is a star?

The man handed over a business card, "If you are interested, you can contact me. Your appearance is very good, and God will chase after you for food."

Xun Zhe pursed his lips, stroking the little woodcarving's head with his fingers.

The world has changed so much in 500 years that he can't read all the characters now.

The man was still chattering, and Xun Zhe couldn't understand a word.He gradually lost interest, and turned his head to signal the man to go away.

Not only did the man not leave, but he also called two companions over and immediately surrounded Xun Zhe.

Seeing an unopened bottle of red wine on the table, the man ordered several steaks, "You have red wine and I have steak, why don't we have dinner together."

Chu Shici was thinking about what they were going to do, Xun Zhe's patience was completely exhausted, he got up and picked up red wine and smashed it on the table.

He wiped the splashed wine on his hands, without even looking at the man, he pushed them away and was about to leave when something poked his back suddenly.

A strong current flowed through his body, Xun Zhe pursed his lips, and paused in his steps.

He touched his lower back suspiciously, and turned his head to look suspiciously.

The man was holding a strange object in his hand, and electric current was crackling and flashing from it.

Chu Shici also saw it, it was an electric shock device, and they wanted to take Xun Zhe away by force.

With great courage, he quickly looked around, and the other passengers all left without knowing when.

Monk Pu Xin floated over, "It's time for dinner, they all went to the restaurant on the third floor to eat."

Without knocking him down, the man raised his head and stared at Xun Zhe's face for two seconds, "I advise you to be more sensible and come back with us honestly. This area is our territory, and it will sink you into Jiangxi." no one knows."

Chu Shici secretly looked up, and brother Zhe's face was as calm as ever.Only when he saw the electric shocker, his eyes showed a little curiosity.

They should be local snakes around here, and Xun Zhe wanted to take them back to play after seeing them.

Fortunately, Brother Zhe didn't realize what they were going to do, and he still had time to study the electric shock device.

Chu Shici winked at Monk Puxin, and Monk Puxin floated over, "Benefactor Chu said to leave quickly, he is in a hurry."

Xun Zhe withdrew his gaze, and was about to knock them unconscious when he heard one of the men grin, "Damn, I haven't played with such a beautiful man before, take it back and have fun with my brothers."

Chu Shici sighed.

Although the content of the punishment was late, it might not be late, but he didn't know it before.

The man's words seemed to bring back bad memories for Xun Zhe, and his eyes became extremely sharp.

Xun Zhe showed no mercy, pierced the leader's chest with his palm, pulled his heart out and threw him into the river.

Things happened too fast, the scene was too bloody, the other two men turned around and ran away when they saw this, Xun Zhe stepped over to kill them.

At this moment, the closed door suddenly opened, and several Taoist-like people walked in.

When they saw Xun Zhe with blood on his hands and a mutilated corpse, the head Taoist turned cold and drew out his mahogany sword and shouted coldly: "Where did the snake demon come from! How dare you make a mistake here!"

The man scrambled and ran behind the Taoist priest.

Chu Shici was about to explain to Xun Zhe, but he heard the Taoist mutter softly, "Didn't I tell you to be careful, why did you take a life!"

The man gasped, "No, he's too powerful, neither the talisman nor the electric shocker will work."

Talisman?Chu Shici looked around suspiciously.

Monk Puxin wandered back and forth, and finally saw three yellow talismans for suppressing demons at the place where the three men had stood.

As soon as he got close, the yellow talisman emitted a faint halo and sent him flying.

Seeing this, Chu Shici figured it out.Eighty percent of the time since boarding the boat, Brother Zhe has been watched.

Now that the identity of the goblin has been exposed, Chu Shici no longer hides it.

He poked his head out from Xun Zhe's collar, and shouted at the Taoist priests, "When will the Taoist priests become stone carving dogs!"

The Taoist priest was about to step forward, when he heard the words, he was taken aback, "What kind of stone sculpture?"

"You have nothing to do with her? Then why are you ambush here?"

The Taoist priests looked at each other and suddenly laughed.

The leading Taoist held a sword flower, "Today I just wanted to go to the other side of the river to buy some cinnabar, but I didn't expect to meet two demons and a monk ghost. I advise you to catch them without fighting, and don't make unnecessary struggles."

Chu Shici was still hesitating whether to explain, but he heard Xun Zhe's cold voice.

"500 years later, I thought the world was different, but I didn't expect that human beings are still doing those shady things."

"Why are you so shameful? You are demons, and our duty is to catch demons."

After the Taoist finished speaking, his eyes fell on Xun Zhe's waist.

"Don't you guys like to suck the energy of men on the bed? I have more than 100 people here, and I will let you suck as much as you want one by one."

Chu Shici didn't expect the Taoist priest to say such a thing, and his brother Zhe seemed to have known it a long time ago.

Xun Zhe was completely enraged, turned into a snake tail, and rushed to beat the Taoist priest.

Chu Shici was placed on the small table beside him, and he threw the glass shards of the red wine bottle at the Taoist priest's face.

Seeing Brother Zhe crushing and beating those people, he put down the fragments and turned to look at Monk Ghost, "Master Puxin, you have lived for more than 500 years, do you know what Brother Zhe said just now?"

Pu Xin's face turned blue and white, he clasped his hands together and said in a low voice, 'Amitabha. '

Chu Shici realized that he knew the inside story, but it was hard to tell.

Under Chu Shici's questioning, Pu Xin twirled his rosary and shook his head and sighed, "When I was in Dayang Tianming Temple, the poor monk once heard some things from his senior brothers who traveled abroad. Speaking of it, I am helpless."

"Many people practice step by step for a lifetime, but they can only be mortals, and they still only have a lifespan of more than 100 years. But exorcising ghosts and subduing demons can accumulate merit. Get a good shot."

"But there are only so many demons and ghosts that can cause harm to the world, and they are not easy to meet. When people are old, eight or ninety years old can't beat demons, so they have time to accumulate merit, and they are only forty if they are full. several years."

Chu Shici nodded, motioning for him to continue.

Monk Pu Xin let out a long sigh, "In order to accumulate merit quickly, some people come up with some insidious tricks. Stimulate lonely and wild ghosts, turn them into evil ghosts, and then come out to kill them. Enrage the monsters and force them to hurt people , and then take advantage of the trend to subdue the demon. In this way, a large amount of merit can be quickly accumulated within a limited time."

He pointed to the Taoist priest who was beaten to death not far away.

"Brother said that this kind of people has a special organization, which includes monks, Taoist priests, witches, and the great immortals in the common people's mouth. They have everything. They specialize in single-handed or ignorant monsters who have just come to the world. It is estimated that Xun Benefactor is alone One person restrained his evil spirit again, and was mistaken for a little demon who was alone, so he was targeted by them."

Chu Shici was stunned for two seconds, and the scattered clues in his mind were instantly connected together.

After listening to Monk Puxin's words, and contacting the information he knew before, he finally knew how terrible darkness was hidden under the calm water of this punishment world.

…………

The reason why the stone carving spirit was able to seduce the snake demon 500 years ago is that he lived in the mountains for a long time and lacked experience.The second is that he wants to transform into a dragon, which is also the main reason.

He thought it was doing a good deed, and in order to accumulate merit, he took the risk to sneak in, but he was caught right in the end.

And those eminent monks who were tricked by the stone carving spirit to besiege him may not really be able to listen to his explanation.

No matter what the antecedents are, the fact that the snake demon killed more than 800 villagers has become a fact.Just sealing him or getting rid of him is a great merit.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Demon originally cultivated diligently, built a temple to be a fox fairy, and earned merits by doing good deeds.But the meager merits are not enough for other foxes, she does not seek another way out, she can only watch her apprentices die of old age one by one.

The Monkey King of Lingshan has practiced for more than 1000 years. Because he could not see the hope of becoming a fairy, he simply gave up his practice and crazily enjoyed a life of luxury and luxury.

It has no way to make monkeys and grandchildren live forever, so it cooperates with stone carvings to make money by any means, so that monkeys can live a luxurious and comfortable life.

Including these Taoist priests in front of me, all practitioners in this world, whether they are humans or monsters, all look forward to becoming immortals.

But according to Chu Shici's understanding, becoming an immortal or a Buddha requires both profound mana and perfect merit.

Humans live more than 100 years, monkeys live more than 20 years, and foxes live more than ten years.

Ordinary practitioners practice step by step until they die, and it is impossible for them to become immortals, and most of them don't even have time to transform from animals to spirits.

In the original text, the male protagonist can become a dragon in one fell swoop, and there is a large part of the reason for his innate advantages.

It is said that an old man has no life span to become a spirit, and Xun Zhe is also very talented.

But even so, after practicing for more than 1000 years, he only became an earth immortal in the end.

The bar is set too high and there is no hope at all.

Those who are good-natured and carefree can let go of their obsessions and become an ordinary master or little demon.

People like Nine-Tailed Fox and Monkey King who have to support their families can only find another source.

The remaining part of the people went to evil ways in order to benefit themselves.

Become a fairy, cast a good baby, or go to the underworld to be an immortal ghost messenger.

These are the meat and potatoes that everyone covets, the fat hanging in front of their eyes.

But most people go through formal channels, and it is difficult to eat this piece of meat.

This kind of merit system stimulates humans to kill monsters, but also requires monsters to do good deeds, which is driving the monster race to death.

Chu Shici was not surprised that he was forced to rebel one day.

At the same time, it also makes human beings think that killing monsters is a matter of course. If they don't regard monsters as equal creatures, they will abuse them wantonly, and the bottom line will only get lower and lower.

People who come up with bad things either deliberately pick things up, or they think things too simply.I thought this would not only protect human beings, but also allow everyone to do good things together.

He asked Pu Xin, "Who first proposed the link between merit and immortality?"

Pu Xin didn't answer, just turned her head slightly to look at the sky.

Chu Shici knew that this was a rule set by those people in the sky.

...............

A cruise ship sailed to the river, and the guests disembarked one by one.

The road was calm and calm, but there were a few more corpses in the river.

Xun Zhe wiped the blood off his hands, and walked out with a dark face.

There were too many people around, it was inconvenient for Chu Shici to speak out, so he poked his head out to look around.

A few black vans were parked nearby, and a bunch of men with big waists were sitting in them.Most of them are in the same group as those people in Jiangli. They got the news in advance and came here specifically to help solicit goods.

According to what they mean, they have to play for a few days before killing monsters.

If it wasn't for Brother Zhe's fists being hard enough, he would have been dragged by a van to some basement, imprisoned by the sealed demon power, and insulted by a bunch of people.

The snake demon pinched the secret art, they couldn't see him, and they were still staring at the tourists who disembarked.

The more Chu Shici thought about it, the more angry he became. He touched Xun Zhe's soft hair and said, "Brother Zhe, are you still angry? There are a few bad people over there, kill them to relieve your anger."

Xun Zhe paused, turned around and walked towards the black van, breaking the necks of several people.

Just as Chu Shici was about to ask him if he felt happier, the system probed, [Fuck, I'm crying! 】

He jumped down quickly and was firmly caught by the snake demon's pale hand.

Xun Zhe didn't say a word, walked quickly to a small alley nearby, and hid in an empty corner.

Chu Shici looked up, Zhege's expression was still lacking, and he didn't make any sound, only tears fell one drop after another.

The eyes of the two collided, Xun Zhe pursed his lips tightly, and stopped looking at the trash can beside him.

His eye sockets were extremely red, and his golden eyes were full of mist.

The system hissed a few times, and found that the male protagonist was crying really sadly.Feeling that this is not very authentic, silently put down the camera.

The falling tears hit the top of Chu Shici's head, knocking him awake.

He stroked Xun Zhe's fingers, "Brother Zhe, did someone bully you like this before you were sealed?"

Xun Zhe didn't respond at all, as if he didn't hear his words.

"Obviously you are trying to do good deeds, but there are a lot of people yelling at you. People are afraid of you, Taoist monks chase you and beat you. Some people are even more disgusting. They not only want to kill you, but also force you to take turns to have sex with them."

Chu Shici's voice fell, and the empty alley fell into a deathly silence.

After a long time, Xun Zhe nodded slightly, "Yes, I often met Gang Huaxing, so I rarely go down the mountain in the future. People outside hate me."

"Brother Zhe, do you feel wronged?"

Xun Zhe was silent for a while, took a deep breath and stopped talking again.

Chu Shici heard him hum slightly.

There was also a slight inaudible cry in the voice.
