The talisman fell and the door opened. The monster who was tied up in the room raised his head and turned his ears towards the direction of the door, trying to figure out who was coming.
The chain rattled due to its movement.
"Ah, ah..."
It made short, sharp sounds from its mouth and seemed unable to speak.
Song Tan frowned when he saw the situation inside.
He raised his hand and waved, and four thumb-sized stones shot out of his sleeve, hitting four iron chains respectively, and the chains shattered with a sound.
The monster was frightened. After realizing that its hands and feet were free, it quickly reached out and grabbed the only remaining iron chain around its neck.
"Ah, ah!!"
It screamed violently, reminding visitors that the chain around its neck was still there.
Song Tan stopped taking action, but walked into the room, looked around it, and then stood in front of it.
He bent down slightly and said, "Clam demon."
Hearing this, the clam demon shook his body, as if he was afraid.
The clam demon's clothes were in tatters, and the exposed skin was covered with large and small wounds. Its face was obscured by its messy and knotted hair.
What a miserable word.
"What are you doing?!"
Suddenly there was an angry shout outside the hospital, followed by noisy footsteps.
A group of people broke in from outside the courtyard, and Xue Xi stood in the center.
The man walking at the front pointed at Mo Qin and the others and asked:
"Who are you?? Why are you here! How did you get in!"
Xue Xi's face darkened slightly, and when he saw the door that had been opened, there was a bit of panic in his eyes.
Mo Qin stood on the outside, and the job of explaining fell on Mo Qin himself.
She said, "We are the exorcists who came to celebrate your father's birthday, but we didn't expect to find a 'treasure' in your yard."
The corners of Xue Xi's mouth twitched slightly.
Birthday wishes?
The guests are all in the front hall, why did they come here?
Besides, he didn't plan to invite any exorcists on his guest list.
Xue Xi raised his hand and signaled to the servants behind him. The two servants immediately closed the small courtyard door and stood guard outside.
He carefully examined the several uninvited guests in front of him.
"What do you want to do? The thing in the house is a demon. It wants to harm people first. I just asked people to imprison it here. There is no problem."
"The demon slayer, I guess you won't mind your own business!"
Jiang Yisheng frowned after hearing this.
"Even if it is a demon, it still has demon power. You can't imprison it here!"
Monsters harm people, people are afraid of monsters, people harm monsters, there are many such things.
Spiritual practice and the use of demonic techniques can prolong life. The luck and flesh and blood of monsters are also coveted by humans.
Some dignitaries will join forces with evil-minded demon exterminators to kill demons in an attempt to prolong their lifespan or make themselves lucky.
The demon that was imprisoned here was made into such a miserable state. It was hard for him not to suspect that humans had done something to the demon.
Song Tan stepped out of the room, frowning and looking at Xue Xi.
The lifespan of the clam demon is coming to an end.
Xue Xi clenched his hands half-covered under his sleeves and sneered.
"As demon slayers, you should stand on the side of humans, instead of fighting against a demon!"
"Do you know how many people she has harmed? What things she has done? Are you here to accuse me?"
Song Tan touched his chin, "In my opinion, this clam demon has never killed anyone."
Xue Xi's eyes widened slightly, he choked, and became angry, he said:
"...What do you mean? Are you going to attack me for the demon? Don't forget whose territory you are on!"
Song Tan pointed to the room and questioned:
"If this monster really harmed you, why didn't you just kill him?"
Xue Xi's voice became hoarse after being asked. He moved his mouth, seemingly unable to find anything to refute.
At this time, the courtyard door was opened, and Xue's father came in from the outside. Seeing so many people here, his face suddenly turned pale.
"How did you sneak in and not arrest them before the officials?"
Jiang Yisheng's expression changed.
It was wrong of him to break into someone else's house without permission, but it was also wrong of them to imprison a monster.
Jiang Yisheng glanced at Yao Yao next to him. He straightened his back and tried to calm down:
"No matter what you say, we must take away this demon today!"
When Xue's father heard this, his body trembled with anger.
Jiang Yisheng said righteously: "Do you think the demon's luck is so easy to borrow?"
As soon as these words came out, a trace of guilt flashed across the faces of the Xue family father and son. Xue's father did not feel that it was his fault at all.
"This clam demon deliberately confused me. If it hadn't been discovered earlier, our whole family might have been killed!"
Thinking this way, he actually felt confident.
"We deserve this!"
Jiang Yisheng felt that he had the upper hand, so he pursued the victory.
"If the emperor knew about this, what would he think? We are the demon exterminators specially invited by the emperor!"
"..."
When Jiang Yisheng started to shine brightly, Mo Qin stepped aside and looked back and forth between the Xue family and his son.
As soon as they entered the small courtyard, Xue Xi appeared with someone.
Isn't this too coincidental?
Even Xue’s father is here, so the guests in front don’t need to be taken care of?
In the end, under Jiang Yisheng's argument, the Xue family and his son had to let them take away the clam demon.
-
The guests in the front hall have not yet dispersed.
Jiang Yisheng took the clam demon and secretly left through the back door of Xue's house.
Xue Xi and his son sent away several uninvited guests. When they were alone, Xue Xi's father bent his back, stood behind Xue Xi, stuck his head out and said tentatively:
"Did you successfully deceive them?"
There was no warmth in Xue Xi's indifferent eyes.
"Who knows?"
If he can't deceive a few demon catchers this time, doesn't he still have a way to go?
That half-demon is someone who knows how to make progress.
Xue's father sighed, "It's just a pity that clam demon..."
Xue Xi straightened his sleeves and said coldly: "It's just a waste with little use value!"
The two of them walked out of the house. Xue's father straightened up again, walked half a step ahead of Xue Xi, and headed towards the front hall.
The birthday party is not over yet.
-
The group of people found a secluded and uninhabited place. The clam demon was wrapped in a piece of clothing. Her eyes could not be seen, her mouth could not speak, and even her limbs had been lost.
After finding out the clam demon's physical condition, Jiang Yisheng was furious.
"Everyone says that demons are cruel, but humans are just as cruel to demons!"
Song Tan was leaning against the big tree trunk, holding half a grass stem in his mouth, his eyes indifferent, obviously not interested in this half-demon.
"This demon doesn't live long anymore. What do you want to do by bringing it out? Are you planning to keep it?"
Song Tan glanced at Yao Yao and teased:
"Raising a crippled and disabled demon is much more difficult than raising a beautiful and beautiful demon."
Jiang Yisheng's expression froze when he was told, "Uncle Master, shouldn't a demon slayer have good intentions?"
Humans are living beings, and so are demons. If capable people are not kind, how will those weak survive in the world?
