In the afternoon, Pianpian also came back. When she saw a room full of tiger masters and spirits, she also laughed. "I haven't seen you for a long time. Hey, why are there so many less generals?"
Aguan touched his head and told Pianpian that many tiger men died in battle.
Ruoyu snorted and said, "So, the number of troops allocated to our stronghold two is only this small. No wonder Qiucao agreed immediately. She has been using the pagoda. She knows that there are not many generals left."
Pianpian smiled faintly, "Didn't we already discuss it last night? The task of stronghold two is only to contain Qiyuan Evil God. The main force should have been placed at stronghold three, where Lord Tai Sui is stationed."
Ruoyu still complained a little: "The most Tai Sui can do is to tell Qiucao to wait for the opportunity and concentrate his efforts on attacking the Thousand-Shou Evil God. This is Qiucao's plan, not everyone's plan."
"I still care about this at this time." Pianpian shook her head and smiled.
Ruoyu still had objections, but there was already a burst of yelling and swearing from behind.
Everyone looked towards the quarrel and saw that it was the little monkey holding the rabbit spirit's hand tightly, trying to snatch the carrot from his hand.
"Give it to me, give it to me!" the little monkey screamed, grinning.
The rabbit spirit was so angry that he yelled: "This is my carrot, why should I give it to you?"
"Give it to me, give it to me!" The little monkey opened his mouth wide and bit the rabbit spirit's arm. He snatched the carrot but refused to eat it and threw it at a mole spirit.
"Why are you throwing me away!" The mole spirit jumped up angrily when the carrot was smashed, pushing the spirits around him to hit the little monkey.
Just like this random pushing and shoving caused a big commotion. One-third of the spirits started fighting each other. They were pushing and yelling. Some of the other spirits helped to break up the fight, while others stood aside and sighed stupidly.
"Be bold!"
"What are you doing?" Fusheng and Ruoyu jumped into the fighting circle and pulled away some of the fiercely beaten spirits. Some of the monsters who were pulled away were stunned for a moment, wondering how they could start fighting. Some of the monsters who were pulled away rushed forward and fought harder.
"Why are you guys..." Aguan froze on the spot, feeling that the air was filled with an uncomfortable atmosphere.
"What are you meddling in! What are you meddling in!" The little monkey jumped up and pounced on Aguan with his teeth bared.
It wasn't until this moment that Aguan understood the disgusting smell permeating the air in this room——
It's an evil thought.
Small evil thoughts are difficult to detect, but they become more apparent as the dispute becomes more serious. The little monkey's eyes were blood red, and his body had a reddish-brown aura.
A figure rushed over, reached out and grabbed the little monkey's neck, and pushed him to the ground. It was Pianpian.
Aguan came back to his senses and saw Pianpian squatting on the ground, holding an indigo moon knife on the little monkey's neck. The little monkey seemed to wake up. He was scared for a while and grinned for a while, as if he was suffering from schizophrenia.
The spirits were so frightened by this scene that they did not dare to yell or curse anymore. They just looked at the little monkey quietly and then looked at each other. There was an uneasiness in the air.
Fusheng and Ruoyu also looked frightened. They were gods and were not afraid of evil spirits, but they were afraid of evil thoughts.
Several monsters started crying, waving their hands and saying, "Woo, I don't want to go to the cave anymore..."
"The flower essence suddenly turned evil before the battle last time, and you gods killed him with one strike!"
"We promised that we would all work together to fight against the evil god, but the god only treats us as servants!"
Pianpian let go of her hand, and the little monkey hugged his knees and huddled in a corner. His eyes turned red and then black, and he looked around in a sly manner.
"The little monkey has turned evil..."
"The little monkey has turned evil..."
"It's our turn soon..."
"I don't know who's next..." The spirits started to commotion again.
Aguan slowly walked towards the little monkey and stretched out his hand, pretending to touch him.
"Aguan, be careful he bites you!" Atai shouted. Fusheng and Ruoyu also hurriedly followed, trying to hold Aguan back.
"I'm sorry..." Aguan touched the little monkey's head. The little monkey seemed to be frightened. He opened his mouth and glared at Aguan fiercely, as if he was about to bite him at any time.
"It's all us who dragged you into the water..." Aguan murmured, gently touching the little monkey's head. He felt a stream of evil thoughts swirling on the little monkey's forehead. The evil thoughts were like a thick paste, sticky. Nausea.
Ah Guan closed his eyes and felt the evil thoughts on his palms became clearer, accompanied by waves of itching. He recalled that night at the old Jiangtou master's house, when he had forced the evil spirit out of Xiaoyu's body in desperation, and he felt the same now as he did then.
He felt the stickiness on his hand became more obvious. He slowly grabbed the evil thought and dragged it back. What Xiaoyu had that night was just the evil spirit cast by Fang Liuwen. In comparison, this little monkey had real evil thoughts.
Aguan felt a hot pain on his palm, like a needle prick, and all his strength rushed to his palm to help him capture the evil thoughts.
He felt the full and solid touch on his palm. He had firmly grasped the evil thought, so he jerked his hand and pulled the evil thought out of the little monkey's forehead.
Aguan opened his eyes and saw a ball of red and black smoke in his hand, which looked like soft snot when pinched. Aguan summoned the Ghost Crying Sword with his other hand and put the evil thought on the sword. He only heard the Ghost Crying Sword wailing, eating up all the evil thoughts.
The little monkey's eyes widened, and his eyes were black and bright. He jumped up and stretched his arms in surprise, as if he couldn't believe what he had just done. Then he jumped up, jumped on Aguan's back, hugged Aguan's neck, and cried: "Master Aguan, I didn’t mean it, wuwu, I’m very scared these days, very scared..."
"Master Tai Sui has caught the evil thoughts out of the little monkey!"
"Aguan can deal with evil thoughts!"
The spirits were in a commotion.
"Hey." Aguan smiled, rolled up his sleeves, and was ready to catch out the subtle evil thoughts in other spirits. But he suddenly felt dizzy, his legs softened, and he was about to collapse. Fusheng was beside him and quickly reached out to support his body.
Aguan felt much weaker all of a sudden. His legs were weak and he could not stand up straight. Compared with the ordinary evil spirit that was forced out of Xiaoyu's body that night, the evil thoughts caught in the little monkey's head actually made him use up all his strength.
"I... seem a little dizzy." He smiled bitterly, feeling even more dizzy, and his eyes slowly turned dark.
Before he closed his eyes, he vaguely saw Pianpian nodding to him, seeming to praise him for having learned the ability to suppress evil thoughts.
When Aguan woke up, it was already dusk.
This ward, located next to the Special Affairs Department on the fourth floor of Wenxin Hospital, is only for members of the Special Affairs Department. From the outside, it looks like just a utility room. After the battle at the nursing home and the battle at the toy city, Artest and Liu Po were healed of their injuries here.
There were several empty beds in the ward, the orange sunset light filtered through the windows, and the curtains swayed lightly in the wind. Aguan dreamed that he was running on the grass in the cave with a bunch of spirits.
Aguan opened his eyes, sat up, and stared blankly at the sunset outside the window. It took him a while to realize that he was awake.
"Sir, are you cold? Do you want me to close the window for you?" Lin Shan was already at the side and handed over a cup of hot tea.
"Huh?" Aguan took the hot tea and took two sips. "What's wrong with me? Why are you sleeping here?"
"Master Aguan, you used Tai Sui's power to pull out the evil thoughts in the monkey spirit, so you exhausted your energy and passed out." Lin Shan said.
"I see, what about the spirits?" Aguan asked.
"Feiying, Qingfeng'er and I just came back not long ago. Xiangzi said that there was a little commotion among the spirits, but they all returned to the pagoda obediently and stopped causing trouble." Lin Shan replied, and then asked: "But I don’t understand, why are those monsters making such a fuss?”
"I don't know, I saw the little monkey and the rabbit spirit fighting for a carrot..." Aguan silently drank a few sips of tea, then sighed and said, "I think, maybe during the battle, They also let evil thoughts gradually invade them, and their personalities became a little impatient, and they started to quarrel just because of some small quarrels..."
"That should be true. Maybe when we were fighting in the south, there were always some great gods who suppressed the battle, so that the spirits did not dare to make trouble. Now that we have come to the north, no one cares about them. Lord Aguan, don't worry, I I will keep a close eye on them and won't let them run amok." Lin Shan smiled slightly.
After hearing what Lin Shan said, Aguan paused and said: "I feel that many spirits have evil thoughts in them, some are less and some are more. In the past few days, I have helped them drive away their evil thoughts one by one... I treat them as Zuo is an ally and friend, not a subordinate."
