Chapter 64 The Three Stooges

Seeing that Wukong came so quickly, Li Chuan was also a little surprised.

Wukong saw his doubts and said: "I happened to be drinking tea in the teahouse, and I saw Gong Er sneaking around, so I followed him. When he left Yunqiao Township, I called him loudly and asked him what he was doing. I was frightened at once, and then told me, you want to find me. Why, you figured it out, and plan to go with me to subdue the demon?"

"No, no, I have something else to ask you for." Li Chuan looked into the room, but there was no sound, the man must have fallen asleep.

He told Wukong what happened to Chunli Village in Qingfu Village, and then said: "These two villages are not far from Yunqiao Township, and it will take three to five days for the monster to come over."

Wukong felt that Li Chuan was a little overwhelmed. He said: "There is a large formation outside Xuanshui Mountain, and there are not many monsters who can escape, and most of them are injured. You look at the snake monster, and it was specially selected at night. We did it while we were asleep, we can see that the injuries are serious, and we must eat human flesh and blood, since the village has already been alerted, forgive that snake demon for not coming back, even if it does come, it may not be good."

Wu Kong said again: "Besides, the monsters on Xuanshui Mountain are probably dead and not many can be killed. When Qin Tianjian frees up his hand, he will start to deal with these fish that slipped through the net. Coupled with the reward notice issued by the county guard, now I don't know how many monks who are short of money are hunting them secretly, and I estimate that in half a month, the evil disaster will be over."

As he said that, Wukong talked about his business again, "I said town house scholar, are you really not interested in this money?"

"I'm not moved." Li Chuan replied decisively.

Wukong thought of something and said: "The loss of King Black Horn is a great blessing to Chao Bing County. Let's say that there is a copper mine in Xuanshui Mountain. I don't know how much income it can make in a year."

"Tell me, why did Qin Tianjian suddenly attack King Black Horn? He is a great monster with a history, a disciple of Wangxing Sanren, you know Wangxing Sanren, right?" Wu Kong asked.

Li Chuan shook his head, "I don't know."

"Why don't you know anything?"

"Knowing this, can I be the number one scholar?" Li Chuan had already used his identity as a scholar very well, and then he asked, "Who is Wangxing Sanren?"

Wukong replied: "Wangxing Sanren is a casual cultivator. He used to be a national teacher during the reign of Emperor Liang Wen of the previous dynasty. At the same time, he and the Taizu of this dynasty also have the name of master and apprentice. Because of this relationship, the black-horned monster occupied Xuanshui. The mountain is the queen, and the demons have been suppressed several times, but they have actually bypassed Xuanshui Mountain."

Li Chuan remembered that King Black Horn was the mount of the former Jinji General.

Headache.

Li Chuan decided not to think about these important people. It is more important to solve the immediate crisis first. He said, "Master Wukong, do you have a way to kill that snake demon?"

Wukong shook his head and persuaded Li Chuan: "You just heard people say about the snake monster. We don't know what it looks like, how strong it is, and where it is now. What's more, even if you kill the snake monster, it's hard to keep it back." There are other escaped monsters making trouble. It is better to wait for the monster disaster to end, and then you ask your friends in the Qin Tianjian to send an official monk to guard it, which is more appropriate."

"If you are still afraid, why not stay with me in Chongfu Temple for a few days, and come back after the evil disaster is over." Wukong suggested.

"I'm not too worried about myself." Li Chuan was telling the truth.

There really was a monster coming, he rode on the other three and ran away far away, it was always possible to save his life.

Wukong suddenly looked behind him, Li Chuan also turned his head to look, and saw Tong Luo standing against the door.

"Brother Tong, what happened?" Li Chuan asked.

Tong Luo said: "I just heard someone talking outside, so I got up and took a look, I heard what you said."

Then he said: "I have dealt with that snake demon. Although his snake skin is hard, it is far from invulnerable. Ordinary arrows can snake into his body. As long as I can hold him for a while, let me Snake his eyes with arrows, maybe we can get rid of him."

Li Chuan told Wukong that Tong Luo was good at archery.

Wukong's face became serious, and after thinking for a while, he said: "You can find a few places around and set up traps, pour oil and sulfur into them, and when the monsters appear, lure them into the traps and smoke their bodies." Eyes, hitting them with a knife and stick, Brother Tong shooting their vitals, it's not impossible..."

"However..." Wukong thought of something else, "Ordinary monsters, even if they have been created for 200 years, this method can work, but many monsters on Xuanshui Mountain have learned spells and even have magic weapons. That would be much harder to deal with.”

At this point in planning, Li Chuan felt relieved and said, "Then it's settled, Brother Tong, you should go back and rest quickly, get your body back to work as soon as possible."

He said to Wukong again: "Master Wukong, if you are here to help us get rid of the monster, we will pay you no matter whether the monster comes or not. If it does come, after you kill the monster, you will take the monster's body Go and get the reward silver, it's all yours."

After thinking about it for a while, Wukong felt that the business could be done, so he agreed.

Tong Luo suddenly said coldly: "In the past, when King Black Horn was here, everyone knew that there were monsters in Xuanshui Mountain, and it would not have any impact on life at that time. Now it is said that King Black Horn is dead, but there are monsters. disaster."

Wukong immediately refuted him and said: "How can you think that way? Monsters can eat people, but they used to eat them in a hidden way, and he occupied such a large mountain range. How many people lost their livelihoods and died in poverty because of this?" Ill? This time the imperial court took action to completely pull out this cancer, and the people around will be able to live in peace in the future."

"But the people who died now are all my relatives, brothers and friends..." Tong Luo covered the hatred in his eyes, "I must avenge this hatred, even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, I will not let him go .”

After Wukong left, Li Chuan looked at the moon in the tank for a while, and felt that the night wind was blowing a bit cool, he yawned, and said to Tong Luo: "Okay, okay, go to sleep, maybe the snake demon, It has already been caught by the people of Qin Tianjian, and it has been made into snake soup."

All night.

The next day, Li Chuan went to Zhang Yuanwai's house again and told him about Monk Wukong.Zhang Yuanwai immediately said that he would pay the money, and said that if you need anything, just talk to him.

So the brimstone and realgar were found, and Tong Luo also got a new bow and arrow.

In the days that followed, refugees continued to come to Yunqiao Township. From their mouths, they knew that the snake demon seemed to gather some scattered monsters, and when it saw a village, it would eat up a village.

Li Chuan felt something was wrong, but he couldn't contact Zhu Qingyun now, so he could only work hard to strengthen the defense of Yunqiao Township.
