I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 53 A Prophecy

"We don't know about that, young master, what are you doing asking about these things?"

Boss Wu said with a look of embarrassment, obviously he was a little puzzled by Song Mu's caring appearance.

But Song Mu felt somewhat vigilant at the moment.

Although these people said that the monster is so light, but from their own experience, this monster may be very unusual.

Maybe it is somewhat similar to the fox demon I met in Yanggang before.

Because this monster can also create illusions.

The stone walls that appear out of thin air in the mountains and can kill living things are illusions.

And a monster that can create illusions cannot be an ordinary monster, and it is very likely that it will be a big monster at the level of a monster general.

A few ordinary people want to deal with a general-level monster, which is no different from sending them to death.

Song Mu was also aware of this situation, so he walked in. After hearing this description from several people, his expression became a little more serious.

"Young master, I don't know what's wrong with this?"

The second brother Huang obviously also noticed Song Mu's expression, and immediately asked quickly, and Song Mu looked at a few people, and said with a serious expression on his face.

"Everyone, this monster may not be ordinary, nor can you subdue it. I think you should report it to the officials."

"This……"

Seeing Song Mu's serious expression, several people looked at each other in blank dismay, but Song Mu said while the iron was hot.

"This monster should not be an ordinary monster. It is likely that it has gathered monster power, and it may be powerful."

When this sentence came from Song Mu’s mouth, these people took a deep breath at the moment. If someone else said that, they might not be able to believe it, but the one who said this was a scholar. It's time to think about it.

"Young master, this matter may not be as serious as you said. I have seen that monster before. Although I can't tell what kind of animal it is, it is only as big as a human thigh. There will be no problem when we have seven or eight people together. "

One of the men spoke at this time, and the expressions of the others became a little hesitant.

There is a high reward for hunting monsters. The weight of a monster is equivalent to the weight of a copper coin. A monster with thick thighs is worth more than ten pennies.

That's more than ten taels of silver.

Farmers, apart from farming and selling some mountain products, where can they find this kind of silver.

Seeing that these people seemed to want to take risks, Song Mu also felt that it was not good at the moment, and Kong Zong also walked over at the door at the moment, Song Mu hurriedly told him the whole story.

Sure enough, after hearing about the man-eating stone wall, Kong Zong also felt bad, and immediately advised these people not to go.

Those people hesitated for a moment, a little afraid to argue with the scholars, and the leader, Boss Wu, rolled his eyes and suddenly nodded with a smile.

"Okay, since the two young masters said so, then let's let this matter go, and we will report to the officials tomorrow!"

"Oh yes, yes, that's bothering you today, we won't get involved in this matter."

Immediately, someone next to him chimed in, and even cupped his hands directly, and walked away. Song Mu opened his mouth, seeing the few people leaving so quickly, he also looked at Kong Zong in blank dismay.

Their promise in this way was just to prevaricate the two of them. Today's matter of catching monsters, they must go through it.

Song Mu sighed silently at the moment, and Kong Zong beside him just pursed his lips, feeling a little helpless.

Only the second brother Huang looked embarrassed at the moment, and didn't know what to do for a while.

"Brother Huang, don't get meddled in this matter. It's dangerous, and we can't explain it clearly." Song Mu still walked up to the man and said, and immediately gave him a kit in his arms.

"If those strong men still insist on going, let them take this. We can't say it's safe, but I just hope that it can turn the bad luck into good luck."

Song Mu gave the other party the piece of paper Xun Fuzi had given him, and Fourth Brother Huang took it and thanked him repeatedly.

As night fell, everyone had a simple meal and went back to their rooms to rest. Song Mu lit an oil lamp and read with a book.

Kong Zong also came forward with his clothes on, glanced at the thin moon and stars outside the window, and said immediately.

"Perhaps it will be safe tonight."

"Perhaps." Song Mu said lightly, and turned to immerse himself in the book in his hand again.

In the middle of the night, Song Mu got up and extinguished the oil lamp, and went out to relieve himself. Just after shaking off the inventory, he heard a burst of wailing and hurried footsteps from outside the post house.

"Second Brother Huang, Second Brother Huang, help me, help me!"

It was a thick and hoarse voice, the voice came quickly, and the lights in another small courtyard were immediately turned on, and then the door opened.

And a few footsteps came, and the voice of calling for help suddenly became clear and trembling.

"What's the matter, Wang Er, where are Brother Ang and the others?"

"Second brother, something has happened, that monster... that monster has eaten people..."

At this moment, a thin man leaned on the door frame and gasped and said, followed by two men with blood on their bodies, each with pale faces.

They were all a few of them who came to look for Brother Huang during the day.

Hearing this, Second Brother Huang immediately yelled that something was wrong, and Old Man Huang also came out and asked about the specific situation quickly.

"We took the clips up the mountain, put them in the previous positions, and then found two places to ambush."

"When it was late at night, we suddenly heard howling animals, so we got up quickly and rushed to one of the traps, but a weasel was caught."

"We were about to go back, but the ambushed people on the other side called for help. When we arrived, Chen Laosi and Su Dalong were both dead. The fool said that Boss Wu and Ergou were caught by the monster and entered the nearby stone wall .”

"But when we looked around, there were no stone walls around. We didn't dare to stay there anymore, so we dragged Chen Laosi and his corpses back quickly."

"Second brother Huang, let's think of a way, gather the old and young men in our town, and go up the mountain to search together, maybe we can solve this matter."

The skinny man said so, his face was still in shock, and the people next to him also quickly added.

"Why don't we ask Mr. Xiucai? Didn't the young master say that today? They are scholars and have the ability to transform and change. They will definitely be able to save Boss Wu."

"Yes, yes, let's go to another courtyard and find them."

The skinny man seemed to have suddenly realized, and was about to move aside. At this moment, the lights in Song Mu's yard had been turned on, and Song Mu had already come out. Master Xun and others also heard the movement, and came out with their clothes on.

"My lord, please help me, our brother was captured by that monster!"

Seeing Song Mu appearing at the gate of the courtyard, the skinny man said immediately, Song Mu frowned, his expression gloomy.

That monster was really unusual, and this time it turned out to be vicious and cannibalistic.

But even so, Song Mu could only sigh silently at this moment, how could he go up the mountain late at night to catch that monster as a child.

"Brother, there is nothing I can do to help this matter. The strength of that monster is probably very advanced."

Song Mu explained in this way that the man just started crying with despair on his face, and there are other people who are talking about going up the mountain together, or setting fire to the mountain.

"Can you see the monster's body clearly?"

At this moment, Master Xun's steady voice sounded from the side, obviously he already understood the ins and outs of the matter.

Seeing the exit of a more refined and mature literati, these people kowtowed as if they had found a savior.

"I see, I see, it's a white fox."

"No, the white fox doesn't have such a long body, it's a ferret."

"Where is there a ferret here? You all misread it. It's a white-skinned weasel!"
