Madoka and I also looked curiously at the big yellow dog that claimed to be named "Yellow Heart", wondering where it had been with Taoist Wuyou over the years.
The big yellow dog was silent for a moment, with a sad look in his eyes, and said in a deep voice.
"My eldest brother...is dead."
The big yellow dog's tone was desolate and lonely, like the wind blowing through the wilderness in winter, like a scabbed scar.
What? !
As soon as it said this, everyone present was shocked.
I originally thought that since this big yellow dog is still alive, and has indeed reached the level of [Spirit Cleansing]. So Taoist Wuyou, who is his "master" or "eldest brother", is most likely still alive and has a higher level of cultivation, right?
Unexpectedly, he is no longer alive!
The three of them, Li Xiucai, who had received the favor from Taoist Wuyou, were even more shocked and grieved.
Especially Zhao Jiong, who was only nine years old when he was killed by bandits in the mountains and turned into a ghost and went on a killing spree. Taoist Wuyou saved him from falling into the path of evil ghosts. It can be regarded as true "teaching from an early age".
Upon hearing the bad news, Zhao Jiong became emotional, his eyes turned blood red, and his voice was ferocious.
"Master Gou! Please tell us, how did Senior Wuyou die?"
The big yellow dog's tone was still light, but it contained sadness that had been dormant for a long time.
"Brother, he... died in a confrontation with a Japanese onmyoji. The onmyoji named Kamo Muichi was really powerful. Not only was his own magic powerful, he could also summon three single weapons at the same time. The attack strength was very close to [Washing]. Spirit】The demon king’s shikigami.”
"We were in a tough fight at that time. My eldest brother had a chance to escape, but in order to save me, he finally blocked Kamo Muichi and the three shikigami. In the end, he used a forbidden secret method to self-destruct his soul and body at the same time, and died together with the other party."
"Brother, his soul was completely destroyed. He didn't even have the chance to be reincarnated. He completely disappeared from this world."
Speaking of this, the big yellow dog's voice was calm with a slight tremor and a hint of unforgettable hatred.
silence.
Everyone was silent.
In the war that broke out between China and Japan, in addition to the superficial competition of national strength, there was also a fierce fighting in the supernatural world in a corner invisible to ordinary people.
And not only the Japanese country, but also the Western countries, there are practitioners sneaking into China secretly.
It is equivalent to China using the power of one country to deal with many ambitious wolves!
It is extremely difficult.
Although victory was achieved in the end, both the secular world and the supernatural world paid an extremely painful price and sacrifice.
It was obvious that the Wuyou Taoist, who was extremely talented and charming, was one of these "sacrifice".
There was silence for a long time, with only the breeze blowing from the mountains.
I said solemnly.
"Brother Huang, please express your condolences. Death is inevitable for everyone, and it may be heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather. Senior Wuyou died in the righteousness of his family and country, and his death is certainly heavier than Mount Tai. In the dark, between heaven and earth, there will be There is a mark that lasts forever.”
The big yellow dog nodded.
"Wu Daoyou is right. My eldest brother died in a national disaster. There is a mark somewhere in the world, between heaven and earth, that will last forever. When I think of this, I feel some comfort in my heart. By the way, I haven't asked you yet, why are you suddenly here together? Where is my [worry-free outlook]? Why?"
Well……
In this atmosphere and situation, even though I am a very thick-skinned person, I am too embarrassed to tell the truth.
All of a sudden, some issues started to stir up.
But if you lie, it is indeed unnecessary and frivolous towards someone who is also strong.
I hesitated for a moment and could only tell my purpose frankly.
"Fellow Daoist Huang, I came here this time because there have been some strange supernatural murders in Chongqing City recently, with many victims..."
I told in detail that there were a large number of dog demons possessing ordinary people in Chongqing City, and that there were powerful dog demons that killed the "Tandigong" and other spiritual cultivators. I also explained that I came here to investigate, and indeed I had something to do with Taoist Wuyou and it. Suspect.
After hearing this, the big yellow dog did not become angry, but expressed his agreement in a calm tone.
"Fellow Daoist Wu is thoughtful, as it should be. However, I am indeed not that evil and violent evil monster who harms others. As the saying goes, you are not afraid of a shadow. If Wu Daoyou has any doubts, you can investigate, and I will try my best to cooperate."
An embarrassed expression immediately appeared on my face, and I waved my hands in a panic.
"No, no, no, I'm just too paranoid. How can a good demon like Huang Daoyou work with Senior Wuyou to serve the country and the people and support righteousness, and be an evil demon that harms one party? I'm just treating it like a villain. It’s the belly of a gentleman.”
Huang Zhixin shook his head and said in a very sincere tone.
"Wu Daoyou, you don't have to belittle yourself. In this kind of thing, no one who is suspected should be spared. If you have any needs, I am willing to cooperate with the investigation. What's more..."
As the big yellow dog spoke, he suddenly opened his mouth and spit out two gray translucent afterimages.
After landing, he let out a crazy "woof, woof, woof" bark and tried to escape, but he seemed to be bound by invisible shackles and could not move at all.
That kind of crazy, twisted, evil aura... It was completely consistent with the aura of evil spirits that I had encountered in Wujia Village, Wenjia Village, and Lianghe Town before, either possessing people or remaining in the Earth Temple!
I suddenly showed a surprised expression.
"Fellow Daoist Huang, what is this?"
The big yellow dog's tone was still very calm and calm as he replied.
"It was indeed a coincidence. I returned to Chongqing from my trip this time and wandered around the city. I happened to encounter these two evil monsters near an old community near Shapingba. They possessed The two young children were tortured to the point of dying. I took action angrily and captured them both. As for the two children who were rescued, I cured them with magic on the spot and then sent them to the patrol office in Shapingba. At the door, there should be relevant records after the Yang Chaos took him in. If Wu Daoyou is also working for the imperial court, they can also find out. "
The "patrol yamen" Huang Zhixin refers to is the police station. If it can say that, it must be true.
I rubbed my hands together in embarrassment, looking ashamed.
"Huang Daoyou is so upright and awe-inspiring, but I actually doubted you. I really judged a gentleman with a villain's heart. I apologize to you."
After saying that, he performed another Taoist hand gesture in a very formal manner.
The big yellow dog man stood up and returned the greeting with fists clasped.
At this time, Madoka next to her asked.
"Brother Gouzi, if you caught these two vicious dog demons, why didn't you just eat them right there... Oh no, what I meant was, why didn't you just kill them? Why don't you bring them back alive?"
The big yellow dog glanced at Madoka and answered very seriously.
"Because when my eldest brother was alive, he once taught me that all intelligent creatures in this world should live in harmony. Whether they are humans, ghosts, corpses, or monsters, this should be the case. But just as mortals look forward to heroes, so do practicing creatures. You should set an example.”
"Dogs are domesticated by humans from wild wolves. They are the closest and most intimate animals to humans. Demons trained from dogs should naturally set an example. Therefore, in my eldest brother's opinion, dog demons are the monsters that should not attack humans. , otherwise you should bear the maximum punishment!"
"So these two dog demons that violated my brother's ideals, I must capture them alive and bring them back to [Wuyouguan], and then execute them in the viewing tower! Dog demons attack humans and should be severely punished. The soul is gone."
Huang Zhixin's tone was magnanimous and serious.
