Chapter 10 Mage and Demon Seed
The light fell to the ground and disappeared. A blue-clothed Taoist priest stood between the snake demon and the teenagers. It was the weird man who had appeared by the river. Xiao Qiu and others were deeply impressed by him.
The Taoist priest held up the copper bell with his left hand and shook violently. The last time the sound made the teenagers panic, but at this moment he felt it was particularly pleasant. The urgent ringtone not only brought confidence, but also gave them courage.
The huge snake monster was extremely disgusted with the ringtone, ran around and finally circled back to its original position, as if it suddenly lost its sense of direction. Then it became angry and no longer escaped, but raised its head high, opened its upper and lower palate, revealing its sharp teeth like a sword, and the snake's trust like a whip kept swallowing and spitting.
It wants to launch a desperate attack, and the first one sent out is a team of forwards.
The scales on the snake demon's back were lifted up like waves, and more than a dozen heads jumped out of it, jumping in the air and rushing towards the Taoist priest in the blue, with different faces, and several of them were obviously dead for a long time.
The young officer saw his ten subordinates again and was so scared that he hid behind Xiaoqiu and shivered.
Xiaoqiu's heart was also tightened. If he had not seen the terrible snake demon close to him, he would have been shocked. Now he had only one idea: he had thrown away the bald man's head, and he must not tell anyone about this.
The Taoist priest in blue was not afraid of the tricks of the snake demon. The copper bell in his left hand shook faster, and the sound was connected together, like a real rope, tightly tying the snake demon, then bent his legs slightly and moved to the left with a strange pace. Each step was like carrying a thousand pounds on his back, holding his right hand on his shoulder, eating, and closing his middle fingers together, and bending the other three fingers, constantly slashing in the air.
The boys were puzzled, but the snake demon seemed to have been hit hard, and his head exploded one by one, making a sound of ripe fruits and fruits. After landing, there was only a pile of powder without any blood. The snake's head was hiding from the east and west, and was forced to rise high, getting higher and higher, and finally rushed out of the canopy.
The moonlight scattered through the gaps, and the teenagers exclaimed in unison, and they saw a scene that they would never forget for life: more than a dozen holes had been pierced from the thick snake, spraying a large amount of blood outward, like a huge growing seedling.
The snake demon's resistance ended. It easily killed ten Xuanfu soldiers, but could not defeat one Taoist priest.
The snake body slammed, and a large amount of blood quickly penetrated into the soft soil.
The ringtone also stopped. The Taoist priest lowered his arm and the copper bell disappeared. He turned around and added a small oil lamp with his right hand. He walked a few steps and hung the oil lamp on a branch. He stood in the light and said to the young men: "My name is Li Yuechi, the Five Elements Master Pangshan, who is full-time in killing 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 future. Even the young officer is no exception. He hid behind Xiaoqiu, stared at the Taoist priest blankly, and his heart was filled with unprecedented respect.
"You... are you here to save us?" Ersun asked, his voice humble and easy-going, more respectful than facing his father.
Li Yuechi shook his head and pointed to the corpse of the giant snake behind him, "I came for it. I have tracked it for a whole month. Two days ago it was only three feet long. Now...ah. You guys clean up and follow me later."
There was nothing to deal with, and the teenagers immediately stood up straight, only Xiaoqiu ran to pull back the jujube horse. It was surprisingly calm and did not show any surprise at the scene of killing the demon just happened. It was not that it was brave, but that it was too old, so old that all its thoughts were focused on the delicious grass.
Li Yuechi did not set off immediately, turned around and walked to the side of the snake corpse, looked for a while, rolled up his sleeves, and grabbed the snake's tail with both hands like a country craftsman, dragged it to the open space. Soon the snake corpse was arranged in a single line.
The teenagers exclaimed again that the snake corpse was incredible, and the oil lamp hanging on the branches could only reflect a short piece.
"It's longer than the bridge in the town," said Xiaoqiu.
"It's longer than Ersun's house," Erliang said.
"Lengthier than the street in the town." Ershuan said that his words were too exaggerated, but no one spoke out against them. The teenagers decided to use this metaphor to brag about relatives and friends in the town in the future.
Only the young officers were not in the same team, "It was only about ten feet long, not short, but it was not considered powerful when placed among monsters."
Ershuan looked at the officer with his eyes slanted, "I heard that killing demons and eliminating demons is also one of the responsibilities of Xuanfu Army. Why haven't you eleven of you ever killed the snake demon?"
The officer did not blush at all, "We were not prepared, and we thought we were just here to catch a few children and a few horses. We didn't bring many weapons on our body and were caught off guard by the snake monster. Who would have thought that there would be monsters near your Yelin Town? If we had known this, I would have brought a more powerful paper talisman..."
"Hehe, didn't you scream like a little girl just now, and you fainted by being scared?" Erliang immediately exposed the young officer's true feelings.
"And it's the third time I fainted." Er Shuan said, the teenagers were still in shock and needed to say a few jokes to relieve their mood. "You will be dizzy from now on."
"I don't call him "Hun San'er, I'm..." The officer was a little angry, but in the end he just snorted without revealing his real name.
"Look." Xiaoqiu's eyes kept staring at the Five Elements Mage, observing every move carefully, and was full of respect in his heart.
Li Yuechi arranged the snake corpse and took out a round mirror. The young men in Yelin Town also looked familiar, especially Xiaoqiu and Ershuan. They were seen by this mirror. Their hearts were beating at that time, but they felt very friendly at this time. Ershuan even boasted to Fangfang and the young officer.
Li Yuechi held up a bronze mirror, started from the snake's tail, illuminating it carefully, muttering something from time to time in his mouth.
The teenagers dared not make noise, for fear of affecting the work of the Five Elements Mage, although they did not understand what he was doing at all.
After looking for a while, the officer whispered: "He is looking for the demon pill."
"What is the demon pill?" Ershuan asked curiously, forgot that he had beaten the officer hard.
"Wild beasts will swallow the essence of all things and turn into demons. During this period, they will concentrate most of the demonic power on a certain part of their body, which is the demon pill, which is very precious. Those who practice Taoism can use it to refine magic weapons."
"Wow." The teenagers only understood the four words "very precious", and were still impressed.
The officer was right. When the Five Elements Mage Li Yuechi walked to the middle of the snake corpse, he stopped. The dim bronze mirror flashed, brighter than an oil lamp.
Li Yuechi put away the bronze mirror and turned a dagger into his hand. 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 cut off a few strokes on the snake corpse, cut off a scale, looked at the oil lamp for a moment, and put it in a cloth bag around his waist.
The officer seemed to have seen many worlds and whispered: "Refining scales into demon pills is the most common method for snake demons, and it is not a big demon."
Li Yuechi's work has not been completed yet. He took out a bronze mirror and continued to illuminate the snake corpse. The closer he approached the head, the slower he was. Finally, he stopped when he touched a snake's eye, "It's true here."
His magic weapons emerged one after another, and this time he had an extra gourd in his hand.
Li Yuechi took three steps back, holding the gourd in his left hand, facing the snake's eyes, and pinching the sword technique with his right hand. He bent his legs slightly, sometimes left and right, and muttering words in his mouth.
The teenagers looked more detailed this time. Fangfang first discovered the strange phenomenon and said in a very low voice: "Look, the sword behind him."
The teenagers looked over and stared for a while, and finally saw something seemingly flying out of the hilt of the sword.
"Gold, wood, water, fire, wood, sword belongs to metal. This is a Five Elements Gold Mage. No wonder he could kill the snake demon so easily." The officer said in a tone that he had known for a long time, but Xiao Qiu could see clearly. He just didn't see any tricks like everyone else.
Not long after, the snake's eyes changed, and a ray of green light slowly rose, as if it was extremely reluctant to enter the gourd.
The whole process is relatively long, with extremely thin green light, and it is only after a quarter of an hour that it is completely absorbed by the gourd.
The officer obviously couldn't understand it, so there was no explanation.
Xiaoqiu felt a little familiar. He remembered the green light he saw alone in the grass by the river. The color was very similar to this thread in the snake's eyes.
Li Yuechi finally finished his work and put away all the magic weapons. He saw curiosity and doubt in the eyes of the young men, 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, but it is just stored in the eyes of the snake demon. Remember, never be touched by it."
The officer showed a sudden enlightenment like all the teenagers. He had heard of many things about the demon species. This was the first time he saw its true appearance and felt a little disappointed.
"Stay away from demons." Ershuan still remembered the Taoist priest's reminder at that time, and said it casually. He was like Xiaoqiu, and was full of envy of the Five Elements Mage.
Not only the two of them, but even the youngest boy was full of admiration for Li Yuechi.
"I just met a Taoist priest Pangshan the day before yesterday." The officer said complimentingly and walked out from behind Xiaoqiu.
Li Yuechi seemed not very interested in this and nodded coldly, "Are you the Xuanfu Army of Xijieguo?"
The officer nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Xuanfu Jun fought with the snake demon yesterday, but it's a pity..."
"Well, if you have the Fire Sacrifice God Seal on you, you should make good use of it. Don't be as busy as before. Those twelve talismans are enough to restrain ordinary demons. This snake demon has its own appearance and cannot stop your attack. But it is also lucky that the demon seed does not like the weak, but without a choice, they will also settle for the second best. If you kill the snake demon, you will become the target of the demon seed."
Ershuan looked at the officer up and down, and suddenly reached out to lift up his dirty coat, revealing his bare back.
The officer quickly turned around and pulled off his clothes, but the boys still saw a pattern the size of a palm on his back, which was obviously the so-called "Salute of the Fire God Seal".
"Oh, that's why you can use paper talismans." Ershuan suddenly realized and was even more disdainful of the officers. "He also said that we had to spend ten years studying and just draw a seal on his back."
"It's not that simple!" The officer's secret was exposed and his face turned slightly red.
