polar demon

Chapter 2

"Mother Xuantian took pity on the people of the world, and sent her disciple, Daoist Yuheng, down to earth to subdue demons and save the world. You ordinary people, why don't you quickly kneel down and worship the true god?!"

The suona is sharp, and the gongs and drums are loud.

Jiang Yuan's attention was attracted, and he turned his head to look.

Along with a fluttering yellow flag, a group of uniformly dressed people with serious expressions came slowly down the street.

There are more than [-] of them in a group, all dressed in yellow, some of them hold copper bells, some hold mahogany swords, some throw yellow talismans, or hold large banners.

In the middle of the team, there were four people carrying a dharma altar, on which sat cross-legged an old man with closed eyes and a high crown and yellow robe, white hair and childlike face.He closed his eyes and kept his mouth shut, his hands and his chest were sealed in seals, and he was extremely solemn.

The team marched and chanted:
"The world of mortals is like a prison, all living beings are suffering, the cycle of reincarnation is endless, and sorrow is endless!

Pity me and the world, there is a god descending from heaven, real Yuheng, save the common people! "

In the originally lonely and deserted street, many people poured out in an instant, and bowed their heads to this group of people one after another:
"The real person has a kind heart, please save us!"

"I beg the real person to give me a talisman, and keep my family safe!"

"As long as the real person is willing to save my family, I will pay any price! I beg the real person!"

Following the pleadings of the people, two boys holding wooden boxes walked out of the middle line.

They said expressionlessly to the people who bowed down one after another:

"The talisman of a real person is made with the consumption of divine power. If a mortal wants to be blessed by a real person, he has to be sincere! Those who donate ten taels of merit silver can get a talisman to protect the safety of their homes!"

When the people heard this, they shouted, "I donate! I donate!"

They swarmed up, stuffing the silver into the wooden box while receiving the yellow talisman.

Jiang Yuan stared blankly at all this, he didn't know if there is really a god in this world, this world has overturned his understanding too much.

Although relying on his previous life experience, Jiang Yuan felt that these people were more like monsters who took advantage of the troubled times to fool the people and make money.

But now he still has ghost handprints on his face, and he can't care about so much anymore.

"Help me!" he shouted, walking towards the group of men in yellow.

The boy holding the wooden box looked at Jiang Yuan expressionlessly, and said coldly:

"Only those with a sincere heart can get a talisman, and they need to donate—"

Halfway through the speech, the boy's expression suddenly changed, and he stared at the ghostly handprint on Jiang Yuan's face in horror, shaking uncontrollably all over his body.

"Look at his face!" the boy yelled sharply, "That, that, that, that... it's the fingerprint of a ghost!"

Seeing this scene, the surrounding people were frightened and moved away from Jiang Yuan.

"Don't get close to him, don't be entangled by his bad luck!"

Even the people in the yellow team had a commotion.The altar was crumbling, and the four men in yellow who were carrying the altar were already frightened and kept retreating.

Daoist Yuheng who sat cross-legged on the altar suddenly opened his eyes, and shouted at Jiang Yuan:

"An evil person, with a filthy body! How dare you attack the real person! Where is the guardian?!"

Immediately, several men in yellow clothes held sharp knives under the altar and glared at Jiang Yuan:

"Great crime! Don't retreat quickly!"

The people who were prostrating also yelled at Jiang Yuan:

"Go away! If you want to die alone, don't harm us!"

"You can't survive tomorrow, why do you want to harm us?"

"Don't let him come, drive him away!"

Jiang Yuan gritted his teeth, and finally turned away without saying a word.

After staying away from the street, the surrounding area has become extremely deserted.

Whether it is the collapsed ruins, the weeds growing in the cracks of the tiles, or the broken pottery in the corner, they all seem to be silently laughing at Jiang Yuan.

The cloud was getting thicker and thicker. Although it had just entered the night, it was already too dark to see any light.

"Crash!"

The torrential rain finally poured down, not only did not wash the world, but made more filth flow out with the rain.

When I returned home silently, the roof was already leaking, and the corner of the bedding on the bed was already soaked by rain.

Jiang Yuan dug out the last two steamed buns and carefully ate them one by one.

"Bah!"

He slammed his fist on the broken wooden table.

"I crossed over inexplicably, but I was about to die, what's the point?!"

Jiang Yuan felt unbearably depressed in his chest, with thousands of thoughts in his mind, but most of them were despair.

Facing those weird monsters, he had nothing to do.

The most ridiculous thing is that the family is so poor that they don't even have a kitchen knife for self-defense.

"Death is death!" When despair reaches the extreme, it will turn into anger, "I want to see how that demon takes my life!"

Afterwards, Jiang Yuan lay on the bed, quietly listening to the crackling rain outside the house, waiting for the evil spirit to seek his seal and claim his life.

The night is long, and the passing speed is depressingly slow.

Finally, a chilly and damp atmosphere emerged in the house for no reason, lingering for a long time.

In the deadly darkness, a green figure appeared out of nowhere, floating sideways in mid-air, face to face with Jiang Yuan who was lying on the bed, very close at hand.

That was the scary little girl in the alley back then!
I saw her protruding eyes staring at Jiang Yuan in a daze, and a strange smile appeared on her purple-black mouth:

"Big brother, I'm so cold, can you come and play with me?"

Jiang Yuan, who was lying on the bed, stared at this weird little girl. His muscles tensed up, and he gritted his teeth and said angrily:

"I'm not a lolicon!"

The little girl still smiled slyly, she stretched out her rotten hands that were almost skeletons, and slowly grabbed Jiang Yuan:

"You come to play with me, you come to play with me. You come to play with me."

Jiang Yuan decided to strike first, he suddenly kicked towards the little girl:
"You want to play, right? Okay! Let's play Jugao!"

However, this kick was empty.

The little girl seemed to have no substance. Jiang Yuan's kick seemed to be kicked in the air. Although it seemed to penetrate the little girl's body, it didn't feel the slightest force.

"Hey hey hey hey hey hey"

The little girl laughed strangely, her scarlet eyeballs kept protruding outwards, almost falling out of their sockets.

Afterwards, the little girl suddenly turned into a cloud of black air, instantly penetrated into Jiang Yuan's body and disappeared.

Jiang Yuan was terrified, but suddenly found that his body was out of control, as if another consciousness was controlling it.

He felt the corners of his mouth curl up, but it wasn't out of his will.

Then, his hands involuntarily climbed up his neck, and his ten fingers pinched tightly on it.

"What's the situation? Could it be... Possession?"

Just when Jiang Yuan thought he was about to strangle himself to death, the control of his body suddenly returned to him.

He sat up abruptly from the bed, a layer of cold sweat already forming on his forehead.

What is going on now?I can control myself again. Could it be that the ghost is gone?
Puzzled, a stern voice sounded in Jiang Yuan's mind:

"You are also living in this body? You are the same kind! No... no! What the hell are you?!"

Jiang Yuan was shocked, the voice clearly belonged to that little girl!
She really is in my body!

get out!
Get out!

Jiang Yuan desperately wanted to get the little girl out of his body, but there was nothing he could do.

"Ah—! Don't devour me! Ah——!"

The shrill scream exploded in Jiang Yuan's mind.

The little girl's voice became shrill and sharp, and it became louder and louder in Jiang Yuan's mind.

Jiang Yuan was stunned and didn't know what happened.Hearing this, it seems... that little girl is suffering from severe pain.

After the sharp and ear-piercing screams reached their peak, they gradually weakened and finally stopped abruptly.

However, Jiang Yuan's body suddenly became hot and dry from the original coldness.

The heat flowed very fast, and the sudden alternation of cold and heat made Jiang Yuan unable to adapt for a while, and couldn't help but sneezed:
"Ah~ sneeze!"

Suddenly, two streams of flames burst out from Jiang Yuan's nostrils.

The yellow and red flames sprayed on the bed and ignited the bedding in an instant.

The originally dark room was bright under the light of the fire.

"This, this, this, this" Jiang Yuan was dumbfounded.

Panicked, Jiang Yuan hurriedly jumped off the bed, trying to slap the flames out with his hands.

"Oh!"

When Jiang Yuan clapped his hand on the bed, the board of the wooden bed shattered instantly.

The huge force caused the whole bed to collapse to the ground.

Jiang Yuan looked at his hand in disbelief, and followed him to grab a bed leg. With both hands, there was a click, and the bed leg with thick wrists broke in response.

"How did I have such great strength? And... what about that brat?"

Ever since the little girl-like ghost entered her body, only a few inexplicable words were left behind, and then there was no movement, as if it had completely disappeared like this.

"She said that I am the same kind living in this body. This makes sense. I was originally a soul that passed through this body inexplicably. But she also said not to devour her. What does this mean? I just now The flames that spew out, and the power to become stronger... Could it be related to this sentence?"

Jiang Yuan was puzzled.

At this time, in the rainy night, there were bursts of shrill screams resounding outside the house.

Hearing these horrific screams, Jiang Yuan understood that he was definitely not the only one who encountered a horrible thing tonight.

The screams came from far to near, and the most recent one was heard at the house of my neighbor Uncle Li, and it was Uncle Li who screamed.

Jiang Yuan was shocked all over, it seemed that Uncle Li also suffered a tragic accident.

The gloomy and cold atmosphere began to linger outside Jiang Yuan's house, and Jiang Yuan could clearly hear a deep panting lingering outside the door.

He couldn't help clenching his fists:
"I don't know what kind of monster is here this time?"
