"Oh!!!"
The villagers cheered. At the same time, with the help of many burly men, they pulled the gigantic stingray fish up and hung it on the pillar.
"Thank you, Taoist!"
At this moment, the village chief came. He held a small bamboo basket filled with silver and walked over with a smile.
"Here are some silver and two thousand-year-old salted fish. Please accept them!"
As he spoke, the village chief placed the small bamboo basket in the hands of the Taoist priest. Then, he politely handed over two salted fish. Yes, moldy salted fish.
The Taoist priest glanced at it without batting an eyelid. Then, he said 'politely', "Eh? As a cultivator, my goal is to help the world. I won't accept such a precious thing! "
As he spoke, he quickly put away the bamboo loft and stuffed the two thousand-year-old salted fish back into the loft enthusiastically.
Then, he turned around and said to the villagers, "Everyone, I've caught the demon. As for how to deal with it, it's up to you!"
"Kill it!" An old man who was as thin as a stick said angrily.
"Isn't it dead?"
"Kill it again!"
"Revenge!" The villager roared. This sentence resonated with the crowd, and everyone began to shout loudly.
"I want revenge!" A middle-aged woman pointed at the hanging giant stingray and said.
At this moment, wanda noticed a young man with messy long hair walking over from the crowd.
He squeezed into the crowd and said, "You've got it wrong. He's not the murderer!"
After a pause, the young man held a book and walked to the gigantic stingray. He said, "It's just a giant stingray . It's kind and optimistic. It's a good animal. It's just a pity that it's a little too big."
"Who are you?" Finally, someone asked. After all, Chen Xuanzang did not look like someone from this village.
"I'm Chen Xuanzang, a Mahayana Buddhist disciple who hasn't been tonsured. I'm an exorcist who exorcises demons!"
Yes, this young man was the Chen Xuanzang that wanda had been waiting for.
"We know about stingray, but we've never seen such a huge one! The Taoist priest said that it was possessed by a demon. "
"Chief, look, it really isn't the demon you're looking for!" Chen Xuanzang pointed at the book in his hand and explained earnestly.
On the other hand, the Taoist master sensed that something was amiss. He rolled his eyes and came up with a plan.
Holding the silver, the Daoist priest walked up to Chen Xuanzang with a sorrowful expression. He pointed at him and said, "A good father was brutally murdered by a demon beast. The innocent family members of the victim are in so much pain that they wish they were dead. Oh, how could you say something like that? You …"
"You bastard!" The village chief believed the Taoist priest. He pointed at Chen Xuanzang and cursed angrily.
"Bastard! Bastard! The villagers were also instigated. They pointed at him and scolded him loudly.
"Everyone, listen to me. The monster you're looking for hasn't appeared yet …"
"Shut up!!"
At this moment, a hoarse roar rang out from the crowd. Very soon, a sorrowful woman with red eyes arrived before Chen Xuanzang.
She glared at Chen Xuanzang angrily. She pointed at his nose and asked, "Have you ever lost your husband?"
"Big sister, I'm a man. I don't have a husband!"
"Have you ever lost your husband?!"
"Big sister, I really don't have a husband …"
Smack!
Before Chen Xuanzang could finish, the woman slapped him across the face.
"Ah!!!"
Among the crowd, a few old men saw that the woman had hit him. They screamed and rushed up to beat Chen Xuanzang up.
"Kill him, kill him …"
"This fish is innocent. The demon beast is still in the water. Everyone, don't go into the water!" Chen Xuanzang knelt on the ground. He was being beaten up by the crowd, but he refused to give up.
"This guy is clearly the demon's accomplice. Hang him up and burn him!" The Taoist master immediately shouted when he saw that Chen Xuanzang refused to give up.
"Burn him, burn him!"
"Everyone, listen up. I've killed this demon beast. It's absolutely safe here. Everyone can go into the water without worry. Go! "The Taoist master shouted.
The villagers fell silent when they heard the Taoist master's words. They looked at each other, but no one dared to go into the water. No one was willing to be the first to try.
After all, what if Chen Xuanzang was telling the truth?
They were all afraid of dying.
"Okay!"
The Taoist master pulled a young man over and signaled him with his eyes.
"I-I-I …"
The young man stuttered and hesitated.
"What are you afraid of? Go into the water!"
As he spoke, the young man walked to the shore hesitantly and looked at the water.
When the Taoist master saw that, he kicked the young man into the water.
"I'm fine. It's safe!" The young man slid into the water shakily. When he realized that he was fine, he shouted to the crowd on the shore.
"Look, it's safe!" The Taoist master pointed at the young man in the water and shouted to the villagers.
"Wow!!! It's really safe! "The village chief shouted as well.
Under the Taoist master's instigation, the villagers were finally moved. They jumped into the water one by one.
"It's safe. It's really safe!"
As more and more people jumped into the water, everyone finally thought that they were completely safe.
Just as the villagers were having fun in the water, Chen Xuanzang was tied up by several people and dropped on a pillar.
He hung in midair and looked at the villagers having fun in the water. His eyes were filled with worry.
And this kind of worry, along with the various kinds of fun and games that the villagers were having, made his heart constantly uneasy.
"It's coming!"
Wanda and pietro hid in a corner of the village and looked calmly into the distance. There, a powerful aura was heading towards the village at high speed.
She knew that it was the fish monster.
Wanda was not the only one who saw it. Chen Xuanzang, who was in midair, saw it too. He saw the fish monster jumping around the lake.
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
"Hey! It's dangerous. Run! "
It was a pity that no matter how Chen Xuanzang called out, none of the villagers cared. They continued to have fun in the water.
In the distance, the fish monster was getting closer and closer.
Chen Xuanzang was very anxious. In his desperation, he began to struggle free from the rope in his hand and used his mouth to bite the rope.
Below, the fish monster finally arrived.
"Huala!"
A village woman was still singing when she was swallowed in the next second.
Everyone saw the monster's voice. After being stunned for a moment, they immediately paddled to the shore.
The village chief was stunned and quickly asked the Taoist priest, "Taoist priest, why did this happen?"
"It's fine. It'll be fine as long as we get to the shore!"
"Yeah, everyone, calm down. We'll be safe once we get to the shore!" The young man who was the first to enter the water said.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a tentacle shot out from under the water and pulled the young man into the water.
The villagers screamed and ran in all directions.
"sheng, sheng!" A village woman called out.
Unfortunately, the crowd was in chaos and there was no response.
"Mrs. Gen, let's go. Let's get out of here!"
The woman left the place under the crowd's call. As she walked, she looked around for the whereabouts of her child.
The village chief and the Taoist priest were running as well. As they ran, the village chief scolded, "Give us back our money!"
"What are you doing?"
"Why are you lying to us?"
"Who's lying to you? If I didn't help you catch one, how would I know there's another one? "The Taoist priest quibbled.
"What do we do now?"
"Calm down. We're so high up here. We'll be fine!"
"High? How high is it?"
"Very high. Take a look!"
The village chief turned around to take a look. As soon as he turned around, the tentacle shot out from under the water and dragged the village chief down.
"I …"
The Taoist priest was shocked and ran away in a hurry.
"Everyone, don't move. Lie down. You'll be fine if you lie down!"
At that moment, Chen Xuanzang shouted. Many villagers finally listened and lined up in the village, not daring to move.
"Miss over there, quickly hide. Don't stand there. It's too dangerous!"
Chen Xuanzang shouted at a corner under the village.
"Me"?
She had been standing in the corner of the village and watching everything calmly.
Originally, she didn't want to get involved in this matter. She only wanted to watch the show and then follow Chen Xuanzang to see the fat monk, who was also Tathagata's incarnation.
Only after seeing what Tathagata's incarnation looked like could she decide what to do.
She didn't want to get involved in this matter, but the fish monster didn't intend to let her go. After all, wanda was the closest person to the shore.
Moreover, Chen Xuanzang was a pig teammate,his shout alerted the monster. The tentacle directly flew toward wanda.
Chen Xuanzang looked at this scene with annoyance and pain. He blamed himself. If it wasn't for his shout, the young man and woman probably wouldn't have been discovered.
Just when he thought that the young man and women were dead for sure, he suddenly saw the young woman gently waving her hand.
With just a wave of his hand, the fish monster's tentacle was frozen in mid-air, unable to move.
"Little monster".
There was no emotion on her monolith face,wanda waved her hand. Suddenly, the surface of the lake churned. The fish monster's body was pulled out of the water and then fell to the ground.
"Roar!!!"
The fish monster kept jumping and struggling on the shore. However, the surrounding space seemed to be frozen like iron and stone. No matter how hard it tried, it couldn't jump out of this area.
"Be quiet".
Said wanda in a calm tone and flicked her finger. Suddenly, a crimson force blasted down and hit the fish monster's head. The fish monster trembled and completely fainted.
