The copy of the universe from the journey to the west

Chapter 188: The plan to attract the little butterfly! The Zhou family hides a big monster (asking for monthly tickets)
Zhou Buping will never forget that scene.

At that time, their yamen runners and county soldiers were fighting against this fox monster.

However, the monster just swung the crutch in its hand lightly, and the people around it fell down like wheat being cut. Even General Liu Yuanjing was no match for the monster and was knocked away by it with just a sweep of its tail.

If the immortals and monks had not reached an agreement with these monsters, and if the monsters were not afraid of the threat of yang energy, the thousands of county soldiers who were besieging this big monster would probably have all become its captives.

"Innate warrior... I remember you. You were one of the people who surrounded and killed me."

The old fox was just like an old human lady, leaning on a cane, hunching over, with one hand behind his back, and looking at Zhou Buping with a pair of old and peaceful fox eyes.

Judging from its posture, it really is no different from an old human being.

If it weren't for the thick blood still stained all over its fur.

On the snow-white ground, the bright red fox footprints extended from the gate to the old fox's feet.

"evildoer!"

Zhou Daping gritted his teeth and stared at the old fox.

Behind him, four young yamen runners swallowed their saliva in unison.

They had only been in the yamen for a short time, having only come in after besieging the monster.

It was the same. They had participated in the battle to encircle and suppress the monsters, and had never seen the old fox, but they had heard of its ferocity.

"evildoer?"

The old fox flashed and came in front of Zhou Daping.

The latter was startled and only had time to turn around and shout "Run" to the four people behind him, and then the old fox grabbed his throat in mid-air: "Are you calling the old lady my mom? You are so rude to an old lady, you are indeed an uneducated warrior."

"Monster! Let go of my master!"

A bailiff roared and drew his knife to chop.

The old fox didn't even look at him, but just waved his claws and half of the bailiff's body was gone.

"Xiao Wu!"

The other three were sprayed with steaming blood. After being stunned for a moment, they screamed in fear.

"Quick...run!"

Zhou Daping struggled to squeeze out the sound again.

Run!

Run!
If you can't beat them, and don't run away, you will really die...

"Run? Old lady, I haven't had enough fun yet."

The old fox waved his hand again, and another yamen runner's head suddenly exploded: "The old lady's most beloved grandson was killed by you humans, why do you want to live?"

"what!"

"Monster! Go to hell!"

Of the remaining two people, one was so frightened that he lost his mind and turned to run away, while the other one roared and drew his knife.

But he had just pulled out half of the knife when it was knocked away by the old fox the next second. After falling to the ground, the flowing blood gradually dyed the surrounding snow red.

The other runner who escaped did not run far. The old fox just waved his hand, and the man's body quickly retreated, and then he hit the old fox's hand with his chest.

"Hey!"

The old fox pulled his claws out of the bailiff's chest, and along with it came a still beating heart.

He opened his mouth and swallowed the still bleeding heart in one gulp, and swallowed it whole with a "gulp".

The old fox licked the corner of his mouth with his red tongue: "The heart of the human race is still so delicious..."

“You…you…you deserve to die!”

The old fox turned to look at Zhou Daping with red eyes: "The innate warrior of the human race is a feast. Your heart is of no use to me. But my thirteenth great-grandson has just awakened his spiritual wisdom. The heart of an innate warrior is most suitable for a child to build his foundation."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old fox was ready to take out Zhou Daping's heart.

But just as its claws approached Zhou Daping's body, its eyes suddenly shrank, and a look of fear appeared in its fox eyes.

"This is... the protection of the demon king!?"

Zhou Daping's eyes turned white, and behind him, an illusory pink butterfly slowly spread its dazzling wings, emitting a faint glow, like stars, magnificent.

……

"Demon King..."

The middle-aged monk who was monitoring the old fox not far away suddenly felt something in his mind and quickly stepped back.

But the next moment, he realized something was wrong. He was still there and had not left!

"Master, wait a moment."

A figure came to his side, pressed his shoulders, smiled, and nodded, saying, "I just happened to have some unfinished business, and now is the perfect time to find out. Don't disturb those monsters."

The middle-aged monk opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly found that he couldn't even utter a word.

He turned around stiffly and continued to observe the scene in the distance motionlessly.

In front, Zhou Daping, with a pink butterfly shadow appearing behind him, slowly flew into the sky and looked down at the old fox.

The old fox's body was shaking like a sieve, and his face was full of fear.

There was no longer the rebelliousness and arrogance just now.

He crawled on the ground with all four limbs, and respectfully introduced himself: "I am Hu Si Niang, the commander under the Crocodile King. I am honored to meet the Demon King... This, this is a misunderstanding. Si Niang didn't know that this human race is your meal..."

She thought that Zhou Daping was a feast prepared by the Butterfly Demon King long ago.

Human warriors have abundant blood and energy, and are the favorites of monsters.

Zhou Daping had no expression on his face. He raised his hand and slowly pressed towards Hu Siniang.

Seeing that the Butterfly Demon King was still going to attack her, Hu Si Niang gritted her teeth, quickly stood up and quickly retreated, shouting as she retreated: "Demon King, spare my life. Si Niang still wants to serve the Crocodile King..."

I don’t know if the threat worked.

Zhou Daping paused, but did not continue to pursue. He retracted his hand and then slowly dropped it to the ground.

Just when the butterfly demon was about to retract its light, a figure suddenly appeared at the spot.

"Demon King, please leave now!"

Lu Chen shouted directly, and his figure appeared in front of Zhou Daping.

In his hand, he was holding the neck of the old fox that had just escaped.

The direction in which this old fox fled happened to be the direction where the monks of Donglin Temple were hiding. It was probably intentional, trying to divert the disaster away.

But it didn't know that the monk from Donglin Temple had been controlled by Lu Chen.

Similarly, the old fox crashed into the steel plate of Lu Chen, who captured it effortlessly.

When the butterfly demon saw Lu Chen appear, it paused for a moment, then controlled Zhou Daping's hand to slowly raise it.

Lu Chen chuckled and said, "Monster King, there is no need to put on airs. You can scare this stupid fox, but you can't scare me. It's just a trace of divine consciousness that possesses you. If you come in person, I might be a little afraid. But now... I have no ill intentions."

Hearing that Lu Chen had seen through it, the butterfly demon that controlled Zhou Daping's body stopped moving, and its white eyes stared straight at Lu Chen.

Although we can't tell what its expression is, we can guess that it must be very afraid of Lu Chen.

"Why, the demon king doesn't want to communicate with me?"

Lu Chen was handsome and calm, with no intention of attacking at all: "Don't worry, Demon King. Zhou Daping and I are also good friends. Since you have protected Zhou Daping, I will not attack you."

The butterfly demon was silent for a while, and just when Lu Chen was getting impatient, he controlled Zhou Daping and said, "First of all, I'm not a demon king, just an ordinary demon. Secondly, what do you want from me?"

"Nothing, I just want to get to know the Demon King."

Seeing that the butterfly demon was willing to communicate, although there was still Zhou Daping between them, he also made his attitude clear: "I am Taoist Ruchen, what is your name? Also, you are a great demon of the Yuanshen. Although Brother Zhou is an innate warrior, he cannot carry your Yuanshen for too long. This will affect his soul and spirit and shorten his lifespan."

"Ah!? Is that so? Sorry, I didn't know..."

The butterfly demon seemed to be very flustered. Upon hearing this, it no longer controlled Zhou Daping. The white spots in Zhou Daping's eyes disappeared, and then he fell to the ground with his eyes closed, and fell into a deep sleep.

This is because the soul and body are possessed by a big demon, and they are under great pressure and have consumed too much energy. As long as they get some sleep and recuperate for a while, they will feel better.

This time, the butterfly demon was nervous, so she spoke with her own voice, so she stopped talking halfway through.

Lu Chen listened to the butterfly demon's voice that sounded like a little girl, and he already had an idea in his mind.

A butterfly demon, and a big pink butterfly... This made Lu Chen very curious.

Thinking in his heart, Lu Chen bowed his head and said: "Thank you, Your Excellency."

The butterfly demon emitting pink light floated slowly in the air. After sorting out its thoughts, it said, "You deliberately lured me out. I saw the talisman paper you gave... Zhou Daping. I only realized now that it was your trick."

Lu Chen smiled slightly: "Please forgive me, sir. After all, you are a demon, so I have to be more cautious to avoid any misunderstanding."

As he spoke, Lu Chen cancelled the illusion created by the magic talisman.

The scene around me changed quietly.

Zhou Daping lay quietly on the snow, but the difference from before was that the other four yamen runners who should have died were also just lying unconscious on the ground.

There was no trace of the scene of being killed by the fox demon just now!

That was just an illusion created by Lu Chen's magic talisman. The real situation was that although the old fox Hu Siniang also attacked the four yamen runners, she was also affected by the magic talisman and only knocked the four yamen runners unconscious.

The heart that Hu Si Niang swallowed was just an illusion created by the magic talisman.

It was just an illusion that all the five senses and six consciousnesses were deceived by Lu Chen's magic talisman.

Seeing this, the butterfly demon said, "Don't call me 'Your Excellency' or 'Your Excellency' anymore. I don't have a name, but people who know me call me Butterfly. Just call me Butterfly... Someone is coming, I have to leave now."

"Okay, Butterfly Girl, take care."

Lu Chen nodded. The monks of Donglin Temple had spread the news, and he also felt several auras coming from the direction of the prefectural government.

The monk passed the message to the Taoist priest?

Also interesting.

However, the people of Shangqing Sect don't know how to use their brains. It is obvious that the people of Donglin Temple are trying to sow discord between Shangqing Sect and the demon clan.

Watching the butterfly monster turn into a ball of pink light and disappear without a trace, Lu Chen was not in a hurry.

This butterfly demon...can't escape from his palm!

Looking at the direction where the butterfly monster's soul disappeared, Lu Chen already had an idea.

Then he turned around and stretched out his hand, and Zhou Daping and the other four flew up and disappeared as Lu Chen's figure went away.

Not long after, Wang Lingqi came here with three disciples.

The first thing that caught my eye was the bloody scene among the wealthy families.

"Master, the thief bald donkey from Donglin Temple said that it was a thief who killed the person." A disciple said.

Wang Lingqi frowned and snorted, "Thief? What a thief! Which thief would use a fox to kill people?"

The smell of the fox could not be covered up, and it was obvious that it was the fox under the Crocodile King who committed the crime.

Then, he looked at the figure of the monk from Donglin Temple not far away, with a hint of confusion in his eyes: "You set a trap for me and you still don't run away?"

He felt a little puzzled. At this point, he knew very well that this was a trap set by Donglin Temple.

Whenever a murder occurs, it is definitely the fault of the prefectural government.

Now that he has joined forces with the Prefectural Government, he naturally has to come and take a look. As long as he comes, he will fall into the trap.

Thinking of this, Wang Lingqi's figure flashed and came to the side of the middle-aged monk.

The latter was lying on the roof and snoring. Wang Lingqi just pointed at the middle-aged monk and he slowly opened his eyes.

When he saw Wang Lingqi's figure, he was startled and all his sleepiness disappeared, and his expression was extremely shocked.

"Humph! It seems that your Donglin Temple has also been set up by someone."

Wang Lingqi snorted coldly, and a sense of satisfaction rose in his heart.

The oriole stalks the cicada, unaware of the mantis behind!
Although he was the cicada, Wang Lingqi felt a little happy because there was a mantis behind the scenes plotting against the oriole in Donglin Temple.

These bald thieves should be made to suffer!
"Anyway, someone is taking the blame for me, so I won't bother with it."

Wang Lingqi did not give the middle-aged man a chance to speak. He pointed his finger again at the middle-aged monk's brow, and the latter's eyes became dull in an instant.

Not long after, Wang Lingqi withdrew his fingers, and the middle-aged monk fell headfirst back onto the snow.

However, this time was different from the last time. The middle-aged monk was no longer sleeping soundly, but seemed to have stopped breathing.

"Hui Bao, you are really ruthless. You even set up restrictions on your own disciples."

Wang Lingqi cursed Huibao, the abbot of Donglin Temple.

He was just about to use the soul-searching technique to collect the information known by the middle-aged monk, but unexpectedly, he touched upon the restriction left by Donglin Temple in his soul.

As a result, the middle-aged monk's soul was instantly destroyed by the restriction and he died.

Wang Lingqi did not hesitate at that moment. He shot out a ball of spiritual fire that burned the middle-aged monk into black ash. He then ordered his three disciples to retreat immediately.

The death of the middle-aged monk would inevitably alarm the Donglin Temple. If he didn't leave at this time, would he have to stay here and wait to be caught?

……

On the other side, Lu Chen placed Zhou Daping and the other four in an empty room of a restaurant not far away, to prevent them from freezing to death, and then returned to Qingfeng Lane.

After throwing the unconscious Hu Si Niang into the formation on the second floor of the building, Lu Chen went out again.

He arrived at Zhou’s house, walked up and knocked on the door.

"Bump bump bump!"

"Who is it? Here we come!"

A familiar voice was heard, and soon Zhou Zhaodi, who was dressed in bulky clothes, opened the door.

"Ah! Uncle Lu...Uncle Lu?"

Zhou Zhaodi shrank her neck when she saw Lu Chen.

It felt like I saw someone scary. My eyes were a little vague and I had a few drops of cold sweat on my head because of nervousness.

Lu Chen looked at Zhou Zhaodi's expression and smiled slightly: "What's wrong, Zhaodi, don't you welcome me?"

“Ah… no, no, how is it possible, hehe…” Zhou Zhaodi’s smile was stiff.

"Zhao Di, is it Taoist Priest Lu who is here?"

Mrs. Zhou's voice came from inside.

Lu Chen smiled and raised his voice a little, "Yes! Sister-in-law, it's me, Xiu Chen."

"Oh, I'm cooking. Taoist priest, please go sit inside. My husband is about to come back from patrol. I asked him why he was out on patrol in the snow, but he refused to listen..."

Mrs. Zhou poked her head out of the kitchen and called out, "Hey! Zhaodi! What are you standing there for? Go and pour tea for the Taoist priest!"

"Haha, you don't need tea. I just saw Brother Zhou on the road. I'm going to have a few drinks with him after he gets off duty. I've already brought the wine and food. You don't have to do too much."

As he spoke, Lu Chen also mentioned the dishes that he had brought from the restaurant where Zhou Daping and others were accommodated.

"Oh! You are so polite, Taoist priest... Have some tea first, I will be right there."

As she spoke, Mrs. Zhou went into the kitchen again.

Lu Chen walked straight into the Zhou family.

Zhou Zhaodi behind him moved a little stiffly, looked extremely nervous, and looked around with wandering eyes.

She shouted in a very low voice: "Little Butterfly, Little Butterfly... What should I do? What should I do? A ghost has entered my house..."

At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly turned his head, staring at Zhou Zhaodi with his eyes, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Girl, are you talking to someone?"

Lu Chen's tall figure blocked the already scarce sunlight in the sky, shrouding Zhou Zhaodi in shadow.

Zhou Zhaodi's hair stood on end in an instant. She was so scared that she got goose bumps. Her breathing stopped for a while. The muscles on her face twitched twice in an extremely stiff manner: "No... no one. I said... yes, I said Uncle Lu, please go in first. I'll go get you some tea."

After saying that, his legs seemed to be greased with oil, and he quickly bypassed Lu Chen and ran towards the side room.

Lu Chen looked at Zhou Zhaodi's figure, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and then looked around.

The walls, doors, and windows were all covered with the talismans that he had given to Zhou Zhaodi.

"Sure enough, he is at Zhou's house, but he is not here. Where did he go?"

Lu Chen thought to himself: "No wonder I didn't notice the evil spirit at the first time, it turned out that it was blocked by my own talisman paper."

Lu Chen was also helpless.

The talisman paper he gave to Zhou Zhaodi can isolate the inside and the outside.

It can block the invasion of demons and monsters from the outside and block the breath from the inside.

After he came out of retreat, he did not investigate the situation of the Zhou family in detail. He just felt that the aura of his talisman paper had become one with him, so he thought that no demons or monsters had entered the Zhou family.

If the butterfly demon had not appeared this time to protect Zhou Daping, he would still think as he did at the beginning, that Zhou Daping was really marked by the demon.

However, he never thought that this monster was hiding in the Zhou family.

Zhou Daping had been with him for at least several months, so the demonic energy in his body was naturally very intense.

Lu Chen felt the strong demonic aura of the Zhou family and his heart paused. Although these demonic auras had no intention of harming the Zhou family, if one lived with demons for a long time, the demonic aura would naturally corrode the human body.

Why is the love between humans and demons, humans and immortals, and humans and ghosts considered a taboo by practitioners?

Because the power of demons, ghosts, goblins and the like is simply not something that ordinary mortals can withstand.

It is like the energy of gods and Buddhas, which is still okay. If it is not excessive, it will have no harm to the human body, but only benefits.

But it’s different with demons and monsters. Their power is mostly yin, which can cause great damage to the yang energy of living people.

If an ordinary person is contaminated by a trace of ghost energy, he will have nightmares at night. In serious cases, he may even have horrific hallucinations.

If there is too much demonic energy, it may infect the human body and cause mutations.

This is also why there are so many people who exorcise demons in the world - as long as humans appear, they will slay demons and eliminate demons, regardless of whether the demons' nature is good or bad.

Because no matter what their character is, the power they possess will cause harm to ordinary humans.

This is why Zhou Zhaodi dresses like a penguin.

The weather is already very cold, and living next to a big demon with more negative energy will only make it colder!

Lu Chen waved his hand lightly, and a wisp of pure yang energy flew out. In an instant, the thick demonic aura around was swept away by the pure yang energy.

The cold wind around seemed to have weakened by three points, and the air seemed to be brighter.

"Hey, why do I still feel a little hot?"

Mrs. Zhou, who was lighting a fire in the kitchen, touched her head and muttered something strange.

She used to feel cold when she cooked.

"strangeness."

Mrs. Zhou just thought about it in her mind, but didn't think much about it.

In the side room on the other side, Zhou Zhaodi was looking at the only window that was not covered with talisman paper and was still open, and she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Little Butterfly, Little Butterfly, why are you out at this time? Ghosts have come to my house..."
