Li Chuan was also a little surprised to see Wu Kong arriving so quickly.
Wukong saw his doubts and said: "I happened to be drinking tea in the tea house. I saw Gong Er sneaking around, so I followed him. When he left Yunqiao Township, I called him loudly and asked him what he was doing. I was frightened for a moment, and then told me that you were looking for me. What, you figured it out and planned to go to slay the demons with me?"
"No, no, I have something else to ask you for," Li Chuan looked into the room. There was no sound. The man was probably asleep.
He told Wu Kong what happened in Qingfu Village and Chunli Village, and then said: "These two villages are not far from Yunqiao Township. The monster will come here in three to five days."
Wu Kong felt that Li Chuan was a little over-cautious, and he said: "There is a large formation blocking the outside of Xuanshui Mountain. Not many monsters can escape, and most of them are injured. Look at the snake monster, he specially chose the night. We did it while we were sleeping, so we can see that the injury was serious and we had to eat human flesh and blood. Since the village has already been alerted, I believe that the snake demon will not dare to come again, and even if it does come, it may not be a good thing."
Wu Kong added: "Moreover, it is estimated that not many of the monsters on Xuanshui Mountain are dead. Once the Qintian Supervisor is free, he will start to deal with these fish that have slipped through the net. In addition, coupled with the reward notice issued by the county guard, now Secretly, I don’t know how many monks who are short of money are hunting them. I estimate that in half a month, the evil will be over."
With that said, Wu Kong once again talked about his business, "I'm talking about the town scholar, are you really not tempted by this money?"
"I'm not moved." Li Chuan replied decisively.
Wu Kong thought of something and said: "The death of King Black Horn will be a great good thing for Chao Bing County. Let's just say that there are copper mines on Xuanshui Mountain. I don't know how much income we can make in a year."
"Tell me, why did Qin Tianjian suddenly attack King Black Horn? He is a great demon with a long history and is a disciple of Wang Xing Sanren. You know Wang Xing Sanren, right?" Wu Kong asked.
Li Chuan shook his head, "I don't know."
"Why don't you know anything?"
"Knowing this, can you make me the number one scholar?" Li Chuan had already used his identity as a scholar very well, and then he asked: "Who is Wang Xing Sanren?"
Wu Kong replied: "Wangxingsanren is a casual cultivator. He once served as a national teacher during the reign of Emperor Liang Wen of the previous dynasty. At the same time, he and the Taizu of this dynasty also had the title of master and disciple. Because of this relationship, the black-horned monster occupied Xuanshui. The mountain is the queen, and Xuanshui Mountain has been bypassed during several large-scale demon exterminations.”
Li Chuan remembered that King Black Horn was the mount of General Golden Halberd of the previous dynasty.
Headache.
Li Chuan decided not to think about these big shots. It was more important to resolve the immediate crisis first. He said, "Master Wu Kong, do you have any way to kill the snake demon?"
Wu Kong shook his head and advised Li Chuan: "You have only heard about the snake demon. We don't know what it looks like, what its strength is, and where it is now. What's more, even if you kill the snake demon, you can't guarantee that it will be returned to you." There are other escaped monsters causing trouble. It would be more appropriate to wait until the monster disaster is over and ask your friends in Qintian Prison to send an official monk to guard the place."
"If you are still afraid, then why not stay with me at Chongfu Temple for a few days and then come back when the evil disaster is over." Wukong suggested.
"I'm not too worried about myself." Li Chuan told the truth.
If a monster really comes, he can ride on the other three and run far away to save his life.
Wu Kong suddenly looked behind him, and Li Chuan also turned around and saw Tong Luo standing against the door.
"Brother Tong, why are you up?" Li Chuan asked.
Tong Luo said: "I just heard someone talking outside, so I got up and took a look. I heard what you said."
Then he added: "I have dealt with that snake demon. Although his snake skin is hard, it is far from invulnerable. Ordinary arrows can snake into his body. As long as I can hold him for a moment, let me Use arrows to snake his eyes, maybe you can get rid of him."
Li Chuan told Wu Kong that Tong Luo was good at archery.
Wu Kong's face became serious, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "We can find a few places to set traps around, pour oil and sulfur in them, and when the monster appears, we can lure him into the trap and smoke them. Eyes, beat them with knives and sticks, Brother Tong shoots their vital parts, it’s not impossible..."
"But..." Wu Kong thought of something else, "For ordinary monsters, even if they have a hundred or two hundred years of creation, this method will still work, but many monsters on Xuanshui Mountain have learned spells and even have magic weapons. That would be much more difficult to deal with.”
At this point in the planning, Li Chuan felt relieved and said, "That's it, brother Tong, go back and rest quickly, and get well up as soon as possible and get back to work."
He then said to Wu Kong: "Master Wu Kong, if you are here to help us get rid of the monsters, we will pay you regardless of whether the monsters come or not. If they really come, after you kill the monsters, you can take the monster corpses with you." Go get the silver reward, it’s all yours.”
Wukong thought about it and felt that this business could be done, so he agreed.
Tong Luo suddenly said coldly and quietly: "In the past, when King Black Horn was here, everyone knew that there were monsters on Xuanshui Mountain, and it would not have any impact on their lives. Now that King Black Horn is dead, monsters have appeared. disaster."
Wu Kong immediately refuted him and said: "How can you think so? Monsters can eat people, but they only ate in secret before. Moreover, he occupies such a large mountain range. How many people have lost their livelihood and died in poverty because of this?" Sick? This time the imperial court took action and completely removed this cancer, so that the people around you can live in peace from now on."
"But the people who are dead now are all my relatives, brothers and friends..." Tong Luo hid the hatred in his eyes, "I must avenge this revenge. Even if he escapes to the ends of the world, I will not let him go. .”
After Wu Kong left, Li Chuan looked at the moon in the jar for a while and felt that the night wind was a little chilly. He yawned and said to Tong Luo: "Okay, okay, go to sleep. Maybe the snake demon will... He has been caught by the people from Qintian Prison and made into snake soup."
Nothing happened all night.
The next day, Li Chuan went to Zhang Yuanwai's house again and told him about monk Wukong. Zhang Yuanwai immediately said that he would pay for the money, and said that if you need anything, just tell him.
So the sulfur and realgar were found, and Tong Luo also got a new bow and arrow.
In the following days, refugees continued to come to Yunqiao Township. From their mouths, they learned that the snake demon seemed to have gathered some scattered monsters, and it emptied every village it saw.
Li Chuan felt something was wrong, but he could not contact Zhu Qingyun now, so he could only work hard to strengthen the defense of Yunqiao Township.
