Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 94 Everything is Illusion, Break the Evil!

The person who came was the shopkeeper Ding known as "Three Inch Nails".

But this guy's appearance at the moment looks very strange, a pair of small eyes exudes a faint green light, like the eyes of a wolf in the dark night.

In fact, he...it is not a human, but a mouse demon.

Soon after, the Rat Demon returned to the backyard room.

Xiu Niang came forward and subconsciously asked, "Master, how is it?"

"Hmph, I searched around but couldn't find anyone. I guess the kid was alert and had already slipped away."

Hearing this, Xiu Niang froze for a moment, the expression in her eyes was complicated, it was hard to tell whether it was joy, surprise or worry.

"What? Are you disappointed that you didn't get a little boy?"

The rat demon cast a cold glance at Xiu Niang and asked.

Xiu Niang came back to her senses, and quickly smiled: "How dare the slave family? The slave family only has the master in their hearts."

While speaking, he stepped forward and patted the mouse demon's shoulder flatteringly.

"Hey, you bastard..."

The mouse demon is small in stature but not weak in strength, so he threw Xiuniang onto the couch with one hand, and then a hungry mouse pounced on the sheep...

Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhou Yu sneaked back to the inn again, and quietly kidnapped a girl in the inn.

Of course, he didn't want to steal jade or incense.

Instead of slowly investigating by yourself, it is better to directly arrest people for interrogation to save time and worry.

The captive was a little butterfly demon, who had no strength to resist in front of Zhou Yu, her face paled with fright, tears streaming down her face.

"Sir, let me..."

Seeing her master succeed, Ying Ning walked out of the woods with a smile.

"Well, ask."

Zhou Yu nodded, and threw the butterfly demon to the ground.

"Two Shangxians, spare your lives!"

The butterfly demon was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

Ying Ning put on a fierce look, waved his fists and shouted, "Tell me, what bad things did you do in the inn?"

Butterfly Demon stammered: "No...no..."

"If you don't tell the truth, I will beat you!"

Ying Ning forgot that she was pretending to be a book boy, and naturally called Ben girl.

Zhou Yu shook his head helplessly, and added: "If you don't want to lose your soul, you'd better tell the truth."

Hearing this, the butterfly demon broke into a cold sweat in fright, and cried: "Shangxian, our sisters are also involuntary, and it's because of coercion... that we did this kind of behavior."

Ying Ning frowned: "Who is coercing you?"

"It's the shopkeeper Ding of the inn, he... he is actually... is..."

"Hugh is hesitating, call me quickly!"

Zhou Yu drank coldly.

The butterfly demon was taken aback, and hurriedly explained the reason honestly.

In the past, she, Xiuniang and two other sisters were all practicing in the mountains, and they had a good relationship with each other.

Unfortunately, a mouse spirit came from nowhere, and by virtue of its strength, not only occupied their territory, but also occupied their people.

At first, the four sisters endured the humiliation, thinking that this guy would leave one day.

Unexpectedly, they underestimated the supernatural powers of the rat demons, not only controlled their actions with secret methods, but also conjured up an inn, which they said was more conducive to cultivation.

"That guy used our sisters as a cauldron, let us seduce some strong guests, and quietly absorb their vitality for cultivation.

Once our sisters improve their cultivation, they will be sucked away by the rat demon..."

Hearing these words, Ying Ning finally suddenly realized the meaning of the existence of this inn.

Although Zhou Yu had guessed earlier, he couldn't help but feel murderous when he heard the evil deeds of the rat monster.

"Then have you ever killed anyone?"

Ying Ning asked again.

"Shangxian Mingjian, although our four sisters were threatened by the rat demon, they only sucked away some yang energy, and we dare not kill anyone, but..."

"But what?"

"It is inevitable that there will be women coming to the inn to stay, and once the rat demon takes a fancy to them, they will quietly take them away.

Once, Xiu Niang couldn't bear to let one go secretly, and the mouse demon almost beat Xiu Niang to death in a rage..."

"Is there such a thing? Where are those women being held?"

"Not in the inn, but in a cave in the back mountain. It's just... most of them couldn't stand the torture and died..."

Under the guidance of the butterfly demon, Zhou Yu found the hidden cave.

The mouth of the cave was bewitched by the mouse demon, so the people inside couldn't escape at all.

However, how can a mere trick defeat Zhou Yu?It broke when I raised my hand.

It was only after entering the cave that I realized...it was a miserable experience.

The stench was reeking in the cave, and there were more than a dozen dead bodies lying there... There were four living ones, all of them skinny and disheveled.

"Damn rat demon!"

Even Ying Ning, who had always been pure in heart, became murderous after seeing such a tragic scene.

Speaking of which, she is also a demon, but it is precisely because of this that she is even more angry.

In the world, it is precisely because of such an evil monster that the common people's expressions change, and they fear the monster like a tiger, thinking that the monster will eat people.

"Ying Ning, take the four of them to a nearby town and settle them down properly. I'll settle the score with that mouse demon..."

"Ah? But..."

Ying Ning also seemed to want to do it himself to vent her anger.

"Be obedient, this is also your chance to accumulate merit."

"Okay...The little girl will go straight along the mountain road, and then wait for the husband in the town."

Upon hearing this, the butterfly demon hurriedly said: "There is a market town seven or eight miles north of this place."

……

Not long after, Zhou Yu came to Tianranju Inn again.

When he reached the door, he stopped, and with a thought, a wolf hair appeared out of thin air in his hand.

This pen is not an ordinary writing brush, but a special system prop "Scholar's Pen", which can also be called a weapon.

"Stimulate the turbidity and lift the clear, everything is an illusion, destroy evil!"

Zhou Yu yelled loudly, and wrote the word "breaking evil" with a brush in the air.

A miracle happened, and with the shout and the faintly glowing word "Breaking Evil" in the night sky, the whole inn began to shake.

Then, like a cloud under the sun, it began to dissipate slowly.

"what happened?"

"Damn..."

Some of the guests in the inn were stunned, while others fled in panic.

Who is not surprised that the good inn suddenly turned into a ruin overgrown with weeds?

Others ran for their lives before they even had time to put on their trousers.

"It turned out to be him?"

Xiuniang stared blankly at Zhou Yu standing under the moonlight, her face stunned.

"Xiuniang, sisters, come quickly..."

Butterfly Demon hastily shouted.

"You maidservant, it turns out that you betrayed me!"

At this time, the rat demon was so angry that his eyes gleamed fiercely and his face was ferocious, almost showing his original shape.

After all, this inn has cost him a lot of hard work, but now it has been destroyed, and the anger in his heart can be imagined.

"Xiu Niang, what are you still doing?" Die Yao shouted again.

Xiuniang finally came back to her senses, she didn't care about thinking too much, and subconsciously ran to the butterfly demon.

"Want to escape? I abolished you bitch!"

The mouse demon moved, and hit Xiuniang's vest with a palm, causing Xiuniang to scream and fall to the ground, spitting blood.

"Bold evildoer, take your life!"

Zhou Yu shouted angrily, jumped up, and flew towards the rat demon like a shooting star.

Unexpectedly, the rat monster didn't want to fight, turned around, and turned into his own body and fled...

Xiu Niang struggled to stand up, and thanked Zhou Yu: "Thank you, Shangxian, for saving my life."

Zhou Yu frowned: "You guys can do it for yourself!"

After finishing speaking, he went to chase the rat demon.

"Shangxian, wait... Maybe, we can take Shangxian to find the place where the mouse demon is hiding."

"Alright, let's go!"

On the way, the four girls wept and thanked each other, saying that they had been under the control of the rat demon for several years, and their cultivation had not advanced but retreated.

Xiu Niang said again: "The rat demon should not be an ordinary demon, but also some human spells.

Our four sisters are also controlled by its magic, it is difficult to resist, and there is no way to escape, we can only be humiliated and enslaved..."

Zhou Yu sighed: "After this catastrophe, I hope you can devote yourself to cultivation and strive to achieve positive results as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Shangxian..."

After walking in the mountains for almost a stick of incense, the four women took Zhou Yu to the edge of a canyon.

This canyon is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, which is a typical line of sky. The bottom of the valley does not see sunlight all year round, so it looks extremely dark and humid.

"Shangxian, the rat demon's lair is inside, Shangxian must be more careful, that guy is very sinister and cunning."

"It's okay, what can a little mouse monster do to me?"

Zhou Yu smiled indifferently, and strode into the canyon.

This is not to be a hero, but to be confident.

As soon as he entered the canyon, Zhou Yu concentrated his mind to sense the breath of the rat monster.

From time to time, I squat down and play with stones, dead branches and so on...

After traveling for about a hundred feet, Zhou Yu suddenly stopped.

Because he felt that there seemed to be a pair of poisonous snake-like cold eyes looking at him in the dark.

No need to guess, it must be the rat demon.

Pausing for a moment, Zhou Yu pretended to be nonchalant and walked slowly, as before, fiddling with stones from time to time.

After walking tens of zhang away, Guzhong suddenly let out a cold snort: "Boy, you really dare to chase here?"

"so what?"

Zhou Yu turned around slowly, and looked up at Banpo.

A black shadow flashed away.

Then, Zhou Yu heard a series of dense rustling sounds and the "squeak" sound of mice.

Looking down, I don't know how many mice are swarming all around.

Many of them are quite big, like fat rabbits, with fangs protruding from their mouths, looking very scary.

"Hahaha, you can't help being arrogant in Lao Tzu's territory, let these rat sons and grandsons play with you first."

But Zhou Yu didn't rush, raised his hand and waved his brush in the air, and said in his mouth: "When the wind blows, the clouds fly."

As soon as the poem was exported, the surrounding air suddenly stirred up, like a big stone thrown into the lake, and ripples spread around.

"how is this possible?"

The mouse monster could not help but turn pale with fright when he saw that all the children and grandchildren of the mice were either blown away or turned into dust.

"Get off!"

Zhou Yu suddenly raised his head and shouted.

The mouse demon felt his eyes go dark, and he lost control of his figure, and he obediently fell from a rock in the middle of the slope to the bottom of the valley.

However, this guy can be regarded as a bit of a Taoist, as soon as he landed, he turned into his true form, wanting to repeat the old tricks and run away.

It's a pity, how can such clumsy tricks succeed again and again?

"boom!"

An invisible force surged in, knocking the Rat Demon into the air, flying several feet away like a kite with a broken string...
