Chapter 13: People can also deceive demons and ghosts What is popular these days is the scholar wielding a sword. There is no saying that a scholar is weak and powerless. Although Lin Jue was a young scholar, he was a country man and had been running, playing, fighting and working in the mountains since he was a child. At this moment, he was furious, gritted his teeth and used all his strength to catch the monster. Lin Jue even felt that it was lighter than a normal person and wanted to lift it up. "Woooo..." The monster immediately let out a threatening growl and twisted its body hard, trying to break free from Lin Jue's hands. But just as it turned its head, opened its mouth and showed its fangs, preparing to pretend to bite the boy, it saw out of the corner of its eye that the two were so close, and the boy's strong anger was squeezed into his throat. In its eyes, it was like a mouthful of the red light of the morning sun, which was extremely terrifying. The monster even felt his face getting hot. The yin energy in his body also seemed to be threatened. “Ah~ah~ah~ah~~~” Suddenly, a sound similar to that of a frightened dog rang out in the mountains, mixed with shouts: "God, spare my life! Don't kill me! Aaaaa! Don't burn me! I have never hurt anyone!"
Lin Jue saw its frightened look. "Shangxian?" Can I also be called an immortal? Lin Jue understood after a little thought that the monster was timid and fearful. Seeing that he was calm and not afraid of him, and even took the initiative to attack him, coupled with the anger in his mouth, he mistakenly thought that he was a master of Taoism. Maybe he thought he was here to exorcise demons. As for the words in his mouth... Lin Jue had just been deceived by him twice in a row, so naturally he couldn't believe it. Even if it was true, this monster had never eaten anyone, or hurt anyone with its claws and magic, but wouldn't scaring people here be harmful? Even the man in the Wang Family Ancestral Hall was so restrained, and there were still people who claimed to be brave and didn't believe in monsters and ghosts who were scared sick, not to mention that this monster was so hateful, it was simply very scary. In addition, he was very angry at the moment, and if Lin Jue was really capable, he would really want to give him a good beating. "Have mercy, have mercy! Aaah!" "..." At this time, Lin Jue was so angry that his mouth was about to burst into flames, and the knife in his left hand was tightly clenched. Seeing it like this, he couldn't help but hesitate. If the monster had not begged for mercy and he had ignored it, the flames would have been bursting out and the knife would have been stabbed into it. However, as soon as the monster begged for mercy, his anger subsided and he calmed down. This monster has a fierce face and fangs, and it doesn't look easy to mess with. It is skilled in transformation and can change into human form, so it seems that it is quite advanced. If I keep spitting fire at it, I might be able to burn it to death, but once it is burned, it will definitely struggle desperately. I can only spit seven or eight times with my full anger, which may burn its fur, but I am afraid that it will be burned at most. As for this knife... Although he had the courage to fight the monster at this moment, he was after all only in the body of a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old and had not fully grown yet. Facing this monster that was as big as a human, he was afraid that he might not be able to win. Lin Jue thought so, but he was not afraid, and he did not show any fear at all. He said in a deep voice: "You've never hurt anyone? Just because you say so, I'll believe it?" "It's unfair, Immortal! This is an official road, and also a business road. If I harmed anyone here, I would have been killed long ago! Moreover, Qiyun Mountain is only a few days away from here. If there are demons and ghosts harming people, how long can they survive?"
The monster let Lin Jue hold him, trembling in fear but not daring to struggle at all. Even though Lin Jue had already swallowed his anger, in its eyes, it seemed more like a description of Lin Jue's calmness and strength. "Besides, I am a domestic dog, raised by people, and have never bitten anyone. I have known how powerful people are since I was a child, so how could I dare to hurt someone?" "It turns out to be a dog demon!" Lin Jue understood immediately, "Huang Quan? A yellow dog, right?" “Exactly…exactly! Woohoo!” "Then why are you trying to scare people here at night? Are you really that brave?" "This……" The monster was speechless for a moment. It looked like a wolf-dog with a furry face and fangs, but its eyes were lively. It looked around, hesitated, and finally managed to say one sentence after a long time: "It's fun...it's fun...I can't help it..." "Fun?" "The immortals are human beings, they have companions everywhere and they have all kinds of things to do, so how can they understand the loneliness and suffering of monsters?" When Lin Jue saw its eyes under the moonlight, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. It was not for anything else, but because he felt that the monster's eyes at this moment were very similar to those of the domestic dogs in his impression who liked to chase and intimidate passers-by, excitedly chasing after them when they saw the passers-by were frightened and running away, and timidly leaving or pretending nothing had happened when the passers-by stopped and turned to face them. There is a bit of pity in his timidity. Suddenly I felt quite dazed—— The previously talkative person suddenly turned into a monster, and then from a seemingly ferocious monster, he turned into a pitiful dog begging for mercy from him. It was really a strong contrast. This is actually a step. Lin Jue thought about it and then let go of his hand. "call……" The dog demon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but still turned his head to the other side, not daring to face him, only glancing at him secretly with his eyes slanted. Occasionally, when he saw the knife in his hand, he would tremble. “How many people did you scare tonight?” "Just... just two." "Add me two?" "Uh-huh……" "There are so many people, why did you choose me?" “Huh? Didn’t the Immortal come here specially to capture me?” The dog demon was stunned, but when he saw Lin Jue’s eyes glaring, he didn’t dare to think too much and quickly replied, “I saw that the Immortal was traveling alone, with no one else around him. Plus, the Immortal didn’t look very old, so he looked easier to coax and bully…” "Humph……"
"Ouch~~" "Don't shout! Where did this mule come from?" "It was left behind by the man ahead after he was scared by me and left the mule behind and ran away." The dog demon said in a very low voice, "The reason why I handed the mule to the immortal and then scared him was because I wanted him to run forward with the mule after scaring him. There is only one place ahead where we can stay overnight. When he gets there, he will definitely meet the man and return the mule to him." "You are so kind?" "I am a family dog, and I know that a mule is worth more than a human life." "I'll trust you for now." Lin Jue said coldly, "I have something to ask you. If you answer well, I'll let you go." "Excuse me, Immortal..." "You are a domestic dog, so how did you become a wild monster in the mountains?" "Since the master of the house has died." "Then how did you become a spirit?" "How...how do I know this?" The dog demon suddenly became embarrassed. "I don't know how, I just naturally became a spirit and understood things. After living in this mountain for a few years, I learned the art of transformation." "..." Lin Jue was silent for a moment, digesting his thoughts. "How did you change?" "It just changed like that..." "Change yourself again and let me see!" "Follow...obey orders..." There was a sound of wind in the mountains, and fog rose under the moon. Covered by black fog, the dog demon quietly changed its form. The ferocious face and fangs disappeared, replaced by the appearance of a rather handsome young man. It was the same Huang Quan from before. "?" Lin Jue frowned slightly. I don't feel anything. I put my hand into the black fog, but felt nothing. "Where did your transformation technique come from? And how did you do it? Tell me in detail!" "How do you know this? I was born with a love for imitating humans. I was like this when I was still a dog. I would learn whatever humans did. It was the same after I gained spiritual wisdom. After a long time, I not only learned how to move and talk, but I was actually able to become roughly like humans." "..." Lin Jue's eyes flickered. Without delay, he quickly asked, "Do you have any other magical powers?" "It's the black air that is spit out, which makes people invisible."
"except this." "No, no more." "there is none left?" "My little one...my little one is not very skilled." "You have already become a human, but your Taoism is still low?" "I don't know either. Besides, my transformation skills are very low. I can only transform at night, and the transformations are not real. Fortunately, I can't see clearly at night. Once it's light, I will be recognized." "..." Lin Jue didn't know whether he was lying. But there is no way to tell. I can't help but feel deeply regretful. But he quickly said again: "I am here to seek immortals and learn the way. Is what you said about Mount Qiyun true?" "Woooo..." The dog demon was still thinking, but when he heard the words "seeking immortals and visiting the way", he was frightened again and quickly replied: "Everything is true!" "What abilities do the Taoists on the mountain have?" "I don't know..." "Has anyone cultivated to become an immortal?" "I don't know..." The dog demon's expression of fear became more and more intense. "Is there anyone who can live forever?" "I don't know..." The dog demon's voice trembled violently and he was shaking with fear. This person always talks about becoming an immortal and living forever. How could he know about such things? "How can I trust you?" "God, please judge clearly! I only lied to people that I am a human being. Everything else I heard on the road. If what I said is not true, it is not me who lied to people, but they who lied to me..." "Those people you scared?" "Yes……" Lin Jue thought about it again and continued to ask: "Besides Qiyun Mountain, what other immortal mountains and caves are there here? How to get to them? Do you know?" "Replying to the Immortal, I don't know much. In addition to Qiyun Mountain nearby, I heard that there is another fairy mountain, which is only a few hundred miles away from here. However, this mountain is very remote and not many people know about it. The person who told me about it had only heard of it. I don't know how to get there." "what is it call?"
"Yishan." "Yishan..." Lin Jue couldn't help but mutter to himself. He couldn't help but frown. It seems somewhat familiar. "Shangxian..." The dog demon looked at him quietly. "Go ahead. I'll let you go this time. Don't scare anyone on this road anymore." "Thank you, God!" The dog demon then turned around, without even releasing the smoke to cover itself, and dived into the bamboo forest, disappearing in an instant. Only the sound of rustling could be heard in the distance. "This thing..." Lin Jue also breathed a sigh of relief. This monster is quite timid. To say that he is timid probably also reflects his lack of understanding of human society and his lack of ferocity. Lin Jue was reminiscing at this time, and gradually remembered that when the monster first deceived him and talked to him, it often looked at him with trepidation, uneasiness and worry, especially the second time. These might not be entirely false. It was really worried that Lin Jue would not be scared by it, and instead fight with it. You really can't show your weakness when facing monsters! It has to be more vicious than this... "Yishan..." Lin Jue muttered to himself again and remembered it. Suddenly he felt something and turned his head abruptly. The moonlight still made the gravel road look jade-white, but in the bamboo forest behind him, there were several people standing, staring at him. Most of the conversation just now was heard by them. Lin Jue couldn't see their expressions at this time, but he thought that most of them were shocked, but he couldn't think of anything more detailed. Lin Jue glanced to the side and was surprised to find that the mule led by the monster was still standing beside him. After a moment's thought, he bent down and picked up the mule's reins. He didn't care whether the people behind him were human or monsters, and he didn't speculate or worry about these things in his heart. He just turned his head and invited them calmly: "My fellow villagers, since we have all met, why don't we travel together and give each other courage?" "..." A group of people came quickly.
