Exorcism

The light fell to the ground and dissipated, and a Taoist priest in blue stood between the snake demon and the teenagers. It was the strange man who had appeared by the river. Xiaoqiu and others were deeply impressed by him.

The Taoist priest held the copper bell high in his left hand and shook it violently. The sound made the teenagers panic last time, but now they felt it was particularly pleasant. The urgent ringing not only brought confidence, but also gave them courage.

However, the huge snake demon was extremely disgusted by the ringing. It rushed here and there, and finally circled back to its original position, as if it suddenly lost its sense of direction. Then it became angry and no longer ran away. Instead, it raised its head high and opened it up and down. The jaws showed sharp teeth like swords, and the snakes like whips kept hesitating.

It was going to launch a desperate attack, and the first thing it sent out was a team of forwards.

The scales on the snake demon's back lifted up like waves, and a dozen heads jumped out from it, jumping in the air and rushing towards the blue-clothed Taoist priest. Their faces were different, and several of them had obviously been dead for a long time.

The young officer saw his ten subordinates again, and was so frightened that he hid behind Xiao Qiu and trembled.

Xiaoqiu's heart tightened. If he hadn't seen the horror of the snake demon up close before, he would probably be scared to death. Now he only has one thought: he once threw away the bald man's head. This matter is absolutely impossible. Don't tell anyone.

The Taoist priest in blue showed no fear in the face of the snake demon's tricks. The copper bell in his left hand swung faster, and the sounds were connected together, like a real rope, tightly binding the snake demon. Then he bent his legs slightly and used a Move to the left side with a strange pace, each step is like carrying a huge weight on your back. The right hand is raised on the shoulder, the index and middle fingers are close together, and the other three fingers are bent, and they are constantly stroking back and forth in the air.

The teenagers saw it inexplicably, but the snake demon seemed to have been hit hard. Its head exploded one after another, making the sound of ripe fruits. After it fell to the ground, there was only a pile of powder without any trace of blood. The snake's head was hiding in various places. , was forced to rise high, higher and higher, and finally broke out of the tree crown.

The moonlight fell through the gaps, and the teenagers exclaimed in unison. They saw an unforgettable sight: the thick snake had been stabbed with more than a dozen holes, and a large amount of blood was sprayed out, like a huge growing seedling. .

The snake demon's resistance was over. It easily killed ten Xuanfu Army soldiers, but could not defeat a Taoist priest.

The snake's body suddenly became exhausted, and a large amount of blood quickly seeped into the soft soil.

The ringing of the bell also stopped, and the Taoist priest lowered his arm. The copper bell disappeared. He turned around, with a small oil lamp in his right hand. He walked a few steps, hung the oil lamp on a branch, and stood in the light to face the young man. They said: "My name is Li Yuechi, Pangshan Five Elements Master, specializing in slaying demons and eliminating demons."

These simple self-introductions will take root in the hearts of the young people and have a profound impact on their futures. Even the young officer is no exception. He hid behind Xiaoqiu and stared blankly at the Taoist priest. There was an unprecedented reverence in my heart.

"You...are you here to save us?" Er Shuan asked, his voice humble and easy-going, more respectful than facing his father.

Li Yuechi shook his head and pointed at the giant snake corpse behind him, "I came here for it. I followed it for a whole month. Two days ago it was only three feet long. Now... Sigh. You guys pack it up and follow me later. Walk."

There was nothing to deal with. The teenagers immediately stood upright. Only Xiaoqiu ran to retrieve the bay-red horse. It was surprisingly calm and did not show any surprise at the demon-slaying scene that had just happened. It was not that it was brave, but that it was too Old, so old that all my thoughts are focused on the delicious green grass.

Li Yuechi did not set off immediately, but turned around and walked to the snake corpse.

After looking at it for a while, he rolled up his sleeves and, like a long-term laborer in the countryside, grabbed the snake's tail with both hands and dragged it toward the open space. Soon the snake corpse was arranged in a straight line.

The teenagers once again exclaimed that the snake corpse was incredibly long, and the oil lamp hanging on the branch could only illuminate a short section.

"It's longer than the bridge in the town." Xiaoqiu said.

"It's longer than Er Shuan's house." Er Liang said.

"Longer than the streets in the town." Er Shuan said. His wording was too exaggerated, but no one objected. The teenagers all decided to use this metaphor to brag to their relatives and friends in the town from now on.

Only the young officer stood out, "It's only about ten feet, not short, but it's not very powerful among monsters."

Er Shuan squinted at the officer, "I heard that slaying demons is also one of the duties of the Xuanfu Army. Why haven't the eleven of you fought against the snake demon?"

The officer didn't blush, "We were unprepared. We thought we were just here to capture a few children and horses. We didn't bring many weapons with us, and we were caught off guard by the snake demon. Who would have thought that there would be monsters near Yelin Town? , If I had known this, I would have brought more powerful paper charms..."

"Hee hee, didn't you scream like a little girl just now and fainted from fright?" Erliang immediately exposed the young officer's background.

"And it's the third time he fainted." Er Shuan said. The teenagers were in shock and needed to tell a few jokes to ease their mood. "From now on, you will be called faint San'er."

"My name is not Hao San'er, my name is..." The officer looked slightly annoyed, but in the end he just snorted without revealing his real name.

"Look." Xiaoqiu kept staring at the Five Elements Mage, carefully observing his every move, full of respect in his heart.

Li Yuechi held up the bronze mirror and looked at it carefully, starting from the snake's tail, muttering something from time to time.

The teenagers did not dare to make any noise, for fear of affecting the work of the Five Elements Master, although they had no idea what he was doing.

After watching for a while, the officer whispered: "He is looking for the demon pill."

"What is the demon pill?" Er Shuan asked curiously, forgetting that he had beaten an officer severely.

"Beasts swallow the essence of all things and transform into demons. During this process, most of the demonic power will be concentrated on a certain part of the body. That is the demon elixir. It is very precious and can be used by monks to refine magic weapons."

"Wow." The teenagers only understood the four words "very precious" and were still in admiration.

The officer was right. Five Elements Master Li Yuechi stopped when he reached the middle of the snake corpse. The dim bronze mirror flashed, brighter than an oil lamp.

Li Yuechi put away the bronze mirror and produced a dagger in his hand. Looking from a distance, the dagger seemed to be made of copper, without even a blade, but it did not delay Li Yuechi's movements at all. He quickly gouged out the snake corpse. After a few times, he cut off a scale, looked at the oil lamp for a moment, and put it in a cloth bag at his waist.

The officer seemed to have seen a lot of the world, and whispered: "Refining scales into demon pills is the most common method used by snake demons. It is not a big demon."

Li Yuechi's work wasn't finished yet. He took out the bronze mirror and continued to shine it on the snake corpse. The closer he got to the head, the slower he got. Finally, he stopped when he saw a snake's eye, "It is indeed here."

There are endless magical weapons on his body, and this time there is an extra gourd in his hand.

Li Yuechi took three steps back, holding the gourd in his left hand, with the gourd's mouth facing the snake's eyes, holding the sword formula with his right hand, and slightly bending his legs like when killing demons, turning left and right, while muttering something in his mouth.

The teenagers saw it more carefully this time. Fangfang was the first to notice the strange phenomenon and said in a very low voice: "Look, the sword behind his back."

The young men all looked over and stared for a while, and finally vaguely saw something that seemed to be flying out of the hilt of the sword.

"Gold, wood, water, fire, wood, and the sword belongs to gold. This is a five-element metal mage. No wonder he can kill the snake demon so easily." The officer said in a tone that he had known for a long time, but Xiaoqiu saw clearly that he had just Like everyone else, I didn't see the slightest clue.

Not long after, a change occurred in the snake's eyes, and a green light slowly rose up, seeming to get into the gourd reluctantly.

The whole process was relatively long, and the green light was extremely thin. It took a full quarter of an hour before it was completely absorbed by the gourd.

The officer obviously didn't understand, so he didn't give an explanation.

Xiao Qiu felt a little familiar. He remembered the green light he saw alone in the grass by the river. The color was very similar to the line in the snake's eyes.

Li Yuechi finally finished his work and put away all the magic weapons. He saw the curiosity and doubt in the eyes of the young people, so he said: "This is the demon species. It is a hundred times more vicious than the snake demon. Fortunately, it has not taken shape. It is just stored in the snake." In the eyes of demons, remember never to be touched by them.”

The officer, like all the teenagers, showed a look of realization. He had heard a lot about the demon species, but this was the first time he saw its true appearance, and he felt a little disappointed.

"Stay away from demons." Er Shuan still remembered the Taoist priest's reminder at that time, kash.com said it smoothly. Like Xiao Qiu, he was full of envy for the Five Elements Master.

Not only the two of them, but even the timidest boy admired Li Yuechi.

"I just met a Pangshan Taoist priest the day before yesterday." The officer said flatteringly and walked out from behind Xiaoqiu.

Li Yuechi didn't seem too interested in this and nodded coldly, "Are you from the Xuanfu Army of Xijie Kingdom?"

The officer nodded repeatedly, "Yes, the Xuanfu Army had a battle with the snake demon yesterday. It's a pity..."

"Well, you have the Fire Sacrifice Seal on your body, so you should make good use of it. Don't be in a hurry like before. Those twelve talismans are enough to restrain ordinary monsters. This snake monster is only superficial and can't stop your attack. But it doesn't count you. Fortunately, the demon species does not like the weak, but when there is no choice, it will settle for the second best. If you kill the snake demon, you will become the target of the demon species. "

Er Shuan looked the officer up and down, then suddenly reached out and lifted up his dirty coat, revealing his bare back.

The officer hurriedly turned around and pulled off his clothes, but the teenagers still saw a palm-sized pattern on his back, which was obviously the so-called "Sacrifice to the Fire God Seal."

"Oh, that's why you can use paper talismans." Er Shuan suddenly understood and was even more disdainful of the officer, "They also said that we have to spend ten years studying. It turns out that just drawing a seal on the back is enough."

"It's not that simple!" The officer's face turned slightly red when his secret was revealed.

Xiaoqiu did not participate in the argument. He took a step forward and pointed at the snake corpse behind Li Yuechi. He didn't know whether it was because he was dazzled or if it was true: another green light came out of the snake's mouth.
