Late at night, by the river.
Dingman, the king of the Nine Mountains, was still thinking.
"God, you must rescue me. If you don't rescue me, I will be doomed."
"The fox must be eliminated! That's a monster..."
Yi Bai had no intention of listening to Ding Man's words. He knew that this matter was a test from the gods.
He was not impatient, walked to the river and called softly.
Soon.
I saw the old turtle bringing a dozen little demons ashore.
"Monster, monster!"
Timon was horrified.
"Master Prophet, take the little demons to watch this person."
Yi Bai gave an instruction.
The old turtle took the order, without asking the reason, and took a dozen little demons to surround Timon to prevent him from escaping.
Ding Man's face turned pale and he fell to the ground, saying bluntly that he was trapped in a tiger's mouth and a wolf's den.
Yi Bai ignored it.
He cannot make a judgment based on one person's words.
Yi Bai chanted the incantation in his mouth, and a golden circle of Buddha's light appeared on his hand. He drove it into the ground to activate the technique of driving away gods.
"God of the Earth and Mountains, come see me quickly!"
Yi Bai shouted loudly.
After a while.
I saw two old men appear, both of them were from the land.
When the two old men saw Yi Bai, they were frightened. They knew he was a monster and wanted to run away.
Yi Bai took the initiative to take out the brown orb and reveal his identity.
"It's God Chen in person! God God Chen, please forgive me for being rude!"
The two landowners saluted in panic.
"I don't know if I'm innocent, but where do you two come from?"
Yi Bai asked politely.
"God Chen, I am from Peach Blossom Village, five miles away from here."
"Chen Shen, I am the land of Mumen Village, seven miles away from this place."
Both of them answered.
Yi Bai nodded, knowing their identity. He turned his head and pointed in the direction of Timon and told him what happened.
After telling everything, he then stated his needs.
I just heard Yi Bai say: "Can one of you two please go and find out for me who the big monster is that old fox? If you can catch it, please tell me its location. I will Go there in person.”
Listen to Yi Bai's words.
One of them stood up immediately and said, "Please Chen Shen, please stay a little longer. I'll be back soon."
After finishing his words, Tu Di left and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Chen Shen, you have something else to do. Do you need help from the little god?"
Another Mumen Village land asked.
"Trouble the land and go find out for me what is this person's reputation after his rebellion."
Yi Bai said.
"It is an honor for the little god to be able to serve Chen Shen. Please be patient with Chen Shen."
After talking about the land in Mumen Village, he also fled away.
Yi Bai watched the two lands disappear, and wondered in his heart, is this land's ability to escape from the ground standard? How could it be so fast?
However, it is indeed much more convenient for the land to have this ability.
Yi Bai stood there and waited.
…
Half an hour later.
Mumen Village Land came back first and brought the news back to Yi Bai.
"God Chen, this person is a heinous person! After the rebellion, he gathered bandits from all over the place and made them converge in one place. He repeatedly robbed various places. He called himself the King of Nine Mountains. He indulged his bandits and attacked every place he passed. They carried out massacres, ranging from octogenarians to infants. They burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil."
"The little god hasn't inquired too much about him, but the rumors about him have given him a bad reputation. It's not an exaggeration to say that his sin is serious."
The landowner reports truthfully.
"Good work."
Yi Bai said, and he glanced at Ding Man who was being guarded.
This man is not a good person.
There is no guarantee that what you say may be true or false.
"Don't dare, don't dare."
The land in Mumen Village is busy.
Yi Bai thanked him and asked him to go back first.
Tutu nodded, and his body escaped from the ground again and disappeared.
Yi Bai waited where he was.
Another long time passed.
Until it gets dark.
The land of Peach Blossom Village is finally back.
There is also a three-foot-old fox accompanying Tutu.
"Chen Shen, I brought it here. I mentioned that Chen Shen wanted to see it, and it took the initiative to come to me."
The land bowed and said.
"Little demon pays homage to Chen God, pays homage to Chen God!"
The old fox man stood up and cupped his hands and said.
Its whole body was trembling, as if it was afraid of the word "Chen God".
“Trouble the land.”
Yi Bai thanked him and let the land go back first.
The land dare not say anything, but it is busy to retreat.
Seeing Tu Tu leave, Yi Bai turned his attention to the old fox.
The breeze blew through the forest, and the leaves fell.
The old fox was trembling, extremely frightened.
"Don't be afraid. You are not a great demon who does evil. I sent the gods to look for you to ask you, if you have never done evil, what would you be afraid of when the King of Hell of the Ten Palaces comes face to face?"
Yi Bai spoke, his voice hoarse.
At a glance, he saw that although the old fox's demonic aura had flaws, it was generally pure and had become a good-natured demon.
"God Chen, I know that God Chen sent the gods to look for him, and he must be asking about the King of Nine Mountains. The day I took action, I thought of such a day, but I didn't expect that it was God Chen who came. I heard that Twelve The earthly branches are all monsters turned into gods, God Chen must make the decision for me!"
The old fox imitated human behavior and knelt on the ground.
"Come with me!"
Yi Bai waved his hand and said.
After he finished speaking, he walked back.
The old fox did not dare to disobey and followed Yi Bai closely.
Yi Bai took the old fox to the river and met Timon.
When Timon saw the old fox, his face turned pale for a moment, but then turned angry again.
"God, it's this bastard fox!"
Timon scolded.
When the old fox's true identity was revealed, his eyes immediately turned red. If he hadn't been worried about Yi Bai being here, he would have gone up and tore Timon's mouth off.
"Prophet, seal his mouth."
Yi Bai frowned and said coldly.
The old turtle took the order and asked the little demon to hold Ding Man down and prevent him from making any sound.
Yi Bai then looked at the old fox. He told everything Ding Man said and asked if there was any problem with it.
When the old fox heard this, he immediately became furious.
"I expected this person to talk nonsense, but I never thought he would say this! Confusing right and wrong!"
"Chen Shen, the reason for the matter is not like that at all!"
The old fox was furious and said.
"Hu Xian, please don't be impatient. Tell me slowly. What's the reason?"
Yi Bai asked.
The old fox bowed before bowing, and after performing the rituals, he opened his mouth and said, "God Chen, this is not the case. What this person said is both true and false. What this person said was not intended to hurt my son and grandson. In fact, it is true." No, Chen Shen, the cause of the matter is that my practice is about to transform into another form, so I want to take about fifty of my fox descendants with me to the realm of humans, live with them, learn to look like humans, and transform into human beings. Make preparations."
"If I want to enter the realm of humans, I must have a place to stay. I saw that Timon has a deserted garden in his house, which is just right. I offered money to rent it, and Timon agreed."
"Later, I brought my son and grandson of the fox to live in the deserted garden. Timon came to see me in the deserted garden and asked me what I was renting for. I saw that this man did not look like a villain, but also a master, so I went with him. I explained that I was treated with good wine and good food, and the etiquette was thorough. I never thought that Timon knew that I was a fox, so he bought sulfur and other things, took advantage of my unpreparedness, and set fire to the garden. All my fox children and grandchildren were burned to death. It was because I had the demon elixir to practice that I escaped."
"Chen Shen, although I didn't tell us in advance that I was a demon, he could have driven me away after knowing my identity. Why did he want to burn my whole family!!"
The old fox was filled with indignation and burst into tears when he talked about his grievances.
"So, in order to get revenge on him, you encouraged him to rebel, just to have his whole family be beheaded?"
Yi Bai's heart was clear.
"That's the case, Chen Shen. Although I encouraged him to rebel, all choices were his own. I also tried to dissuade him from massacring the city, burning, killing, and looting, but this person didn't listen at all! "
The old fox was busy answering.
"Your whole family was burned to death, why don't you just take revenge?"
He Xia, who was listening next to him, asked.
"What the mediator doesn't know is that there is a city god in the county. I have good relations with the city god. The city god can allow me to enter the county, but if I do evil, the city god will not allow me."
The old fox is also polite to the river crab.
Although He Crab is just a little demon, he is the little demon under Yi Bai's command, so he must be given some respect no matter what.
As the saying goes, "Look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face." This is true.
"Do you really mean what you said?"
Yi Bai squinted his eyes and looked at the old fox.
"God Chen, everything the little demon said is true! If God Chen doesn't believe it, he can send an official from the underworld to come to the earth. The little demon is willing to go to court with Ding Man!"
The old fox replied.
Hear this.
Yi Bai already roughly knew the reason for this incident.
Most likely, the old fox wanted to take revenge because his whole family was burned to death, and he also wanted Timon and his whole family to be killed.
Therefore, Timon was instigated to rebel.
But Timon himself had the intention to rebel, and his temperament was so useless that he committed many crimes after being instigated to rebel.
Yi Bai waved his hand gently, asking the old turtle to let go of Timon.
Timon was released, trembling and not moving. He had heard all the previous words.
"Nine Mountain King Timon? What else do you have to say."
Yi Bai looked at the person with bright eyes.
"You, you are all the same! You are a fucking god! You are also a monster. Even if I die, I will not let you go. I will sue you!"
Timon spoke angrily.
"Complain? You can go and complain to the Tenth Palace Yama. See what's the use! You have done so many evil things, yet you still dare to say such arrogant things."
Yi Bai glared.
The real dragon was angry, and the surrounding atmosphere was depressing.
When the little demons saw that Yi Bai was angry, they all moved forward, surrounded Timon, and tended to tear Timon into pieces if they disagreed.
Yi Bai waved his hand and asked the old fox where the county seat was before.
After getting the news, he appeared as a dragon, jumped out of the air, and headed towards it to verify it himself.
Yi Bai probably knew in his heart that this matter was probably what the old fox said.
But he still had to confirm it, and he should be cautious about justice.
…
Spend a cup of tea.
Yi Bai found the county town god and asked about the situation. It was just as the old fox said, and he returned to the river again.
The situation at the riverside was still the same. The old fox was trembling with fear and did not dare to leave without instructions. Timon was surrounded by the little monsters and did not dare to move.
"Jieshi, take this man to a nearby county and hand him over to the county government office. Tell him that he is King Dingman of the Nine Mountains. It is entirely up to you how to do it. I will brand your body with my aura, and the city god will not dare to stop you."
Yi Bai took out the brown orb and turned it around in a circle on the river crab, leaving the aura of Chen Yao behind.
"Little demon takes command!"
The river crab obeyed, pulled Timon away with its big pincers, and two demons left with it to help it.
"Hu Xian, although you have extenuating circumstances, no matter what, you have something to do with this military disaster. I think you are just an accessory. You need to do good things for the people of Guangxu County. Go and find out. How many people died in this military disaster? For every ten people who died, you have to do a good deed for the people of this county and the villagers until it is done. Can you accept it?"
Yi Bai turned to look at the old fox again and said.
"Mr. Chen Shen! The little demon is convinced, convinced!"
The old fox knelt down.
"Let's go."
Yi Bai waved his hand.
The old fox bowed again and then withdrew.
Yi Bai watched the old fox leave and waited for the river crab to come back.
"A real dragon."
The old turtle crawled over.
"Mr. Prophet, what's wrong?"
Yi Bai said.
"It's a real dragon. Is it possible that humans are so disgusted with monsters? He actually wanted to burn his family to death just because he found out he was a monster."
asked the old turtle.
"It varies from person to person. Whether it is demons, monsters, humans, gods, immortals or Buddhas, there are good and evil."
Yi Bai shook his head and said.
When the old turtle heard the words, he murmured softly, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Mr. Prophet, this unruly intermediary is quite useful."
Yi Bai praised the river crab.
"True Dragon, Jie Shi has always been the most capable among the demons in Shuanglong River."
The old turtle commented like this.
Yi Bai nodded without saying much.
…
Wait an hour.
Yi Bai finally waited until He Crab returned.
When the county magistrate He Xie Yanming learned that Ding Man, the king of the Nine Mountains, had been captured, he was so excited that he almost knelt down in front of him.
The county magistrate also made it clear to He Xie that soon the Nine Mountain King Dingman would be sent to the county government to await questioning and execution.
After Yi Bai understood, he nodded and was very satisfied with the behavior of the river crab. After praising it, he took a dozen little demons and walked into the waterway again, intending to find the waterway to the east, leave Guangxu County and enter Yu county.
Follow the route given to him by the old master Suolongjing.
Going east from Guangxu County is Yu County, and going further east from Yu County is Liu County.
If you stay in the county and continue eastward, you can reach the capital.
…
After Yi Bai solved the problem of the Nine Mountain King, he went on his way again.
Along this waterway, people stayed day and night, waiting until winter came to an end and spring came to an end, and spring came to an end and summer came to an end. Only then did Yi Bai lead a group of demons to leave Guangxu County and enter Yu County.
Except for meeting the Nine Mountain King in Guangxu County.
Yi Bai never met anything else.
However, after entering Yu County, what he saw and heard made him sigh.
Yu County is full of military disasters, countless disasters, endless tragedies, and victims are everywhere.
The bottom of the river.
Yi Bai takes the little demon on his way.
"What I saw in the past is that the aura of humanity has a red aura. It is for war and killing in the world. It should be here!"
Yi Bai felt only sadness in his heart.
But what he was more confused about was where the demonic black energy was.
Yi Bai thought about it, but he couldn't think of it.
I just want to go to the capital and take a look to see if there are any monsters in the capital.
Yi Baiben wanted to continue walking. If there was no trouble on the way, he would go all the way through Yujun.
"True dragon, true dragon, there is something strange ahead!"
River crabs suddenly came running from the waterway.
He Crab was sent by Yi Bai to open the way and be the vanguard.
"What's the matter?"
Yi Bai looked towards him, wondering what was so strange.
"The people sent by the Imperial Preceptor in the capital are going around to help the victims, but I see that the people sent by the Imperial Preceptor are a little strange. They behave stiffly, like monsters!"
He Xia told the reason for the incident...
