By the river.
Wang Changsheng's eyes were cloudy and uncertain.
He glanced at the black ash on the ground, and then glanced at Li Laodao in the bamboo cage behind him.
After a few seconds of silence, he turned back without hesitation.
He decided to kill the "eye demon"!
with the fastest speed!
It has to be said that the concealment ability of this eye monster is really amazing. It was not until the moment it exploded that Wang Changsheng felt the abnormal fluctuations.
The half-opened "eyes" between the eye demon's brows at the last moment were even more bizarre, as they could directly affect people's consciousness. If it weren't for Jiuyang's fierce and domineering Qi Dharma and his strong resistance to abnormal conditions, even he would It's inevitable to get confused.
Thinking of this, Wang Changsheng was a little scared.
The eye demon seems to be extremely confident in the ability of its third eye, so it did not escape or launch a counterattack immediately after using it. If not, I might not be able to kill it so easily, and may even be harmed by its counterattack. seriously injured.
If he were alone, Wang Changsheng could endure it.
However, he still brought the unconscious Li Laodao with him!
Wang Changsheng knew that last night's action had caused this demon to focus on him.
The strength of these eye demon sub-bodies varies. The sub-bodies that attacked him this time were much stronger than the one last night. This can be clearly seen from the experience value of one being 10 points and the other being 5 points. come out.
But even this enhanced version of the sub-body is actually not that strong. The main reason is their amazing hiding ability. They can lurk and launch sneak attacks, which is extremely annoying.
And if the eye demon sets its target on Li Laodao, Wang Changsheng, who is resting, may not be able to rescue him in time.
Such a threat has touched Wang Changsheng's nerves.
Therefore, this monster must be eliminated!
Of course, the biggest reason that prompted Wang Changsheng to make this decision was the information shown in the attribute panel prompt: the eye demon's strength is still in the category of a small demon.
The little demon corresponds to the bigu realm among the four realms of cultivation.
Relying on the power of high-grade magic weapons, the Jiuyang Qi Conquering Technique, numerous talismans, and the power of Dao Fruit as his trump card, Wang Changsheng felt that even if he could not defeat the Eye Demon himself, he would still have no problem protecting himself.
And if you want to find the identity of this monster, you need to start with the woman and her party last night.
When the eye monster first appeared, its target was the woman's infant baby. There must be a deep connection between this.
…
In less than half an hour, Wang Changsheng rushed back to the ruined temple.
But at this moment, the ruined temple was empty, and the woman and the four of them had left.
Just as Wang Changsheng was about to turn around and chase after him, the corner of his eye glanced at the gift boxes quietly placed on the ground in the middle of the ruined temple.
He stepped forward and bent to pick it up.
Then, he turned around and quickly chased in the direction of the footsteps left by the woman and her entourage as they left.
…
To the northeast of Anmi County, there is a temple named "Hongyin Temple".
It is said that there is an eminent monk in the temple, but Hongyin Temple is located in a remote area with rugged mountain roads, so there are not many believers and visitors who come here to offer incense, and almost no one has actually seen the eminent monk.
Fearing that the eye demon would attack again, the woman and the four of them hurried on as hard as they could, even if their feet were bruised with blood blisters, they still forced themselves to move forward.
In such a hurry, it only took the four of them more than an hour to reach the gate of Hongyin Temple halfway up the mountain.
Only then did the woman and her party feel relieved a little, breathing heavily.
And this scene happened to fall in the eyes of Wang Changsheng who was chasing after him.
In front of the gate of Hongyin Temple, there is a young novice monk holding a broom and sweeping the fallen leaves and dust on the ground.
Seeing the woman and her entourage, the young novice monk stepped forward, put his hands together and saluted: "Amitabha, may I ask how many donors come to Hongyin Temple to offer incense? If so, it will take a while, Hongyin Temple will not open to the outside world until after Chen hour. Open, please forgive me. (9 a.m.)"
The little novice monk was only eight or nine years old. It looked like he had just received the ordination, and his voice had the unique clarity of a boy.
"Little master, excuse me for disturbing you." The middle-aged man stepped forward and cupped his hands with an apology on his face: "There is less than half an hour before the end of Chenshi. I will wait outside the temple for a while, can you?"
"Of course it's okay." After the little novice monk saluted, he saw the four of them walking to the side to wait under the tree, so he picked up the broom and started sweeping again.
Under the big tree outside the temple gate, the woman and her group seemed to be discussing something in a low voice. When Wang Changsheng saw this scene in the distance, he strode forward without any intention of covering up.
The sound of approaching footsteps immediately attracted the attention of the woman and her entourage.
They turned their heads and saw the young Taoist priest approaching. After being stunned for a moment, they were overjoyed: "Taoist Priest!"
The middle-aged man stood up quickly and bowed his hands respectfully. The woman held the baby and bowed, with excitement in her eyes.
The two guards did not dare to neglect, and they all clasped their fists and saluted.
It is still unknown whether there are eminent monks in Hongyin Temple who can protect them, but the young Taoist priest in front of them really killed the eye demon and saved their lives!
Although they didn't know why the young Taoist priest came back and came to Hongyin Temple, they didn't care about it at all.
"It's me." Wang Changsheng nodded, and then said straight to the point: "Tell me everything you know about the Eye Demon."
"I'm coming and going to kill this beast."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man and the woman holding the baby both looked happy. Then, the middle-aged man told the information he knew without reservation.
"Everything has to start from last year's drought."
The middle-aged man's expression is very complicated:
“The drought that has lasted for a whole year has gradually dried up the rivers in Anmi County. These rivers are not tributaries of the Dolphin River and are rarely replenished. The fertile fields lack water sources for irrigation, resulting in the county’s harvest being only a quarter of previous years. "
"The townspeople thought they had offended the Dragon King, so they carried out many sacrificial activities and prayed to the gods for forgiveness and mercy, but to no avail."
"However, not long ago, several children in the town died overnight at home. Their eyes were hollow. They were brutally gouged out."
"After that, children continued to suffer, and before they died, a thin line would appear between their eyebrows, as if it was a third eye that was about to open."
"The government investigated, but found nothing. What else could it be but a monster that could do this?"
"As a result, people were panicked, and everyone called this monster that took eyes and killed people the 'eye monster'."
"A traveling Taoist was passing by. He laid an ambush at night and killed an eye-demon with great effort. The next day, a second eye-demon came out to harm people."
"The Taoist was so frightened that he ran away. Before leaving, he told the townspeople that there were so many eye monsters that he could not eradicate them alone."
"With the Taoist gone, everyone in Anmi County is becoming more and more frightened."
Speaking of this, the middle-aged man paused and his expression became more complicated: "What is unexpected is that on the day after the ninth child was killed, Anmi County miraculously announced this year's epidemic. The first rain.”
"The rain only lasted for less than an hour, but it made everyone happy."
"Then every seven days, nine children would be robbed and killed at night, followed by a timely rain of sweet rain."
"Gradually, all the townspeople regard the existence of the 'eye demons' as the messengers of the Dragon King."
"For every nine children as 'tributes', a heavy rain will fall."
"Children with thin lines between their eyebrows are regarded as 'tributes' to the Dragon King and are not allowed to escape Anmi County."
"And my sister's baby, less than three months old, became the chosen 'tribute'."
The middle-aged man opened the swaddling clothes covering the baby, allowing Wang Changsheng to see clearly the baby's smooth forehead.
There, there is a faint black line, shaped like a closed third eye...
