After a while, the street was silent.
Pei Wende, who still didn't know how to face Pei Hong, chose to ignore his presence and started a formal exchange with a monk beside him who obviously wanted to say something to him.
Then, Pei Wende, who thought he had completely eliminated the vampires, learned a piece of news that made him even more troubled.
"What? You said the vampire is not dead yet?"
Looking at the Taoist priest who nodded in surprise, Pei Wende could not hide his shock.
"Yes, the vampire is not dead yet."
Completely different from his attitude towards Pei Hong, when faced with Pei Wende, a being who could completely eliminate vampires, the Taoist priest spoke everything he knew.
"Vampires are not monsters native to the Tang Dynasty, but alien monsters from outside the Western Region."
Ten years ago, when the Tang Dynasty was revitalizing and many things were waiting to be revitalized, not only local evil spirits frequently appeared, but even beings from outside the territory were constantly spying on the hinterland of the Central Plains.
The demon monks in the Western Regions, the evil spirits in Japan, the monsters in the Northern Territory, the dragons in the South China Sea...
It was the reorganized Qintian Prison at that time that killed all the evil spirits and scourges in the world, and restored a bright and prosperous world to the Central Plains.
However, although Qin Tianjian holds the Holy Decree and has the privilege of killing first and reporting later, his number is limited and cannot completely radiate to every corner of the Central Plains.
As a result, an undead monster from a foreign country - a vampire, took the opportunity to flee to this land in western Hunan.
At that time, the "One Monk, One Swordsman" had been recruited by Qin Tianjian as a non-staff member, and naturally received the secret order to kill this undead monster.
In order to deal with this monster that had an "immortal body" according to the intelligence, the three of them made various preparations, but in the end they were still unable to completely kill the vampire.
Even because he tried many ways to kill the opponent, this vampire deer became more and more adaptable to death.
Until the end, this vampire was completely immune to ordinary methods of death, and only various extreme punishments could cause real harm to it.
And this is also the reason why the vampire has that terrifying "smile" on its face.
Because those are the eternal scars left behind when the swordsman uses the magic sword to kill his opponent.
In fact, it can be seen from the terrifying "smiley face" on the face of the vampire wolf that is constantly reborn but can never repair it. That should be the moment when the three of them are closest to killing each other.
It's a pity that being close is only close after all, and the vampire has proved it with ironclad facts - anything that doesn't kill me will make me stronger.
In the end, in desperation, the three of them had to find another way and use some kind of magical secret method to forcibly extract the blood essence of the vampire to weaken its power to the maximum extent.
And the magic treasure that was born by gathering the blood essence of vampires is the Blood Bodhi.
"Blood Bodhi?"
After listening to the monk's story, Pei Wende realized that there were so many secrets hidden behind this seemingly simple incident.
Especially the magic treasure called "Blood Bodhi" by the two.
In a sense, that is the true body of the vampire and the source of its immortality.
As long as the Blood Bodhi still exists, even if the vampire's body is destroyed ten thousand times, it can always recover with the help of the Blood Bodhi's power.
"Yes, Lao Li has always been keeping the Blood Bodhi. Even the two of us don't know where he hid the Blood Bodhi."
"So the Vampire Rat came to Lao Li as soon as possible after escaping from trouble, just to get the Blood Bodhi from him and restore it to its former peak state."
When he said this, the monk, who had never spoken much, took over the words in a low ventriloquism.
"The Blood Bodhi has not yet fallen into the hands of the vampires. We still have a chance."
While the vampire's body has been completely burned, if Pei Wende can find the blood bodhi hidden by the swordsman and destroy it, he will truly kill this immortal monster.
"Wait, if you think about it this way, there seems to be something wrong."
Unable to help narrowing his eyes, Pei Wende thought of the blood-sucking monster that attacked Sun Xianwei and others before.
Those beings with similar characteristics to vampires, somewhat similar to the "vampires" in Pei Wende's past life memories, were all forcibly transformed by some higher-level being.
Pei Wende originally thought that they were the blood descendants of vampires, but from the stories told by monks, he discovered that vampires did not seem to have the ability to "transform humans" as he thought.
In other words, those blood-sucking monsters are most likely not transformed from blood-sucking streams.
Thinking with this premise in mind, Pei Wende found that if it was just to find the Blood Bodhi, there was really no need for the vampire to make such a big splash.
After all, apart from increasing the exposure of traces of its own existence, this has no benefit at all to the vampires who are used to hiding in the dark.
So the question becomes, how were those blood-sucking monsters born?
"Blood Bodhi has been found."
At this moment, Pei Hong, who had been listening to everyone's stories, seemed to have a thought with Pei Wende, and spoke out a fact that the monks and the others were unwilling to believe.
"I don't know where Mr. Li hid the Blood Bodhi."
"But judging from the current situation, someone should have found the Blood Bodhi in advance."
Just listen to Pei Hong talking, while giving examples to prove the feasibility of his speculation.
"Those blood-sucking monsters we encountered before were probably caused by Blood Bodhi."
"Someone wants to use the power of Blood Bodhi to create a monster similar to a vampire..."
"Or to put it another way, some people want to recreate the 'immortality' of vampires, and those vampire monsters are just test subjects."
It was obviously just a guess, but what Pei Hong said seemed to be true.
"Only in this way can we explain why the vampires appeared near the west city gate, because there are traces of the blood bodhi there."
"I even suspect that the vampire's ability to escape is most likely related to the loss of the Blood Bodhi."
"Let's make a worst guess. It's very likely that the person who stole the Blood Bodhi deliberately released the vampire."
As the saying goes, one word can wake up a person in a dream. The monks, who had vaguely felt that something was wrong, suddenly looked at each other in confusion.
"Then the crux of the question is, where is the Blood Bodhi now?"
Seeing this situation, Pei Wende, who had already speculated about this, asked the most critical question.
"If the vampires were deliberately released by someone, and those vampire monsters were also deliberately created, then who is this person?"
