The fourth world: The Snake Yao and His Little Monk (24)

Recap

He asked the commissioner, “How many fragments do you have?”

The commissioner didn’t say anything, just stretched out his fist.

The little wooden sculpture subconsciously raised its little hand and bumped fists with him, “Yeah! Happy cooperation!”

Commissioner: …

“Comrade, this is ten. I mean, we have ten fragments.”

Chu Shici: …

Zhe-ge, help me, take me away quickly and help me find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Chu Shici took back his hand and pretended that nothing happened.

He laughed dryly, “Ten, that’s a lot!”

The commissioner nodded, “After all, we have been investigating for more than ten years. Comrade, how well do you know the stone carving spirit? Will she keep splitting her body? Are there any requirements for splitting?”

Chu Shici said he didn’t know anything about it either.

The two sides exchanged some intelligence with each other while concealing other information.

Chu Shici was satisfied, but the police obviously wanted more.

After confirming that the little wooden monk is not a dangerous being, the police officers surrounded him quietly.

A policeman in his forties, who looked very friendly, approached him with a smile.

He stretched out an index finger and shook the small wooden carving’s hands with his fingertip.

Then he began to talk without stopping, making the small wooden sculpture feel dizzy.

Chu Shici did not dare to speak nonsense, he was afraid that he might accidentally expose the big secret of the yaoguais’ rebellion.

The police looked at him with very fierce eyes. If there was no millennium snake yao behind him, they will probably just take the small wooden sculpture and carry it away in a sack.

The police investigated for ten years and found hundreds of victims, but they could not catch the mastermind.

Today they finally met someone who seems to know something. They wanted to squeeze all the water out of the small wooden carving on the spot.

Chu Shici had a lot of dealings with the police during his lifetime, and knew that even if he didn’t say a word, they could get information out of him even if he only shakes or nods his head.

So he turned around and opened the mouth of the white snake, put away the lotus platform and inserted it into the snake’s mouth. “It’s getting late. We still have things to do. Goodbye, policemen uncles!”

Xunzhe was listening to their conversation when his boyfriend suddenly started crawling into his mouth.

He was silent for a moment, then his eyes softened instantly.

Chu Shici heard the background prompt.

[Add 2 points to the vitality value, and the current vitality value is 67.]

Chu Shici: …

Zhe-ge, why are you so shameless at this time?

He patted the snake’s teeth, and Xunzhe understood, took the small wooden sculpture in his mouth and slithered away. In his snake-like form, he slithers extremely fast.

The policeman only felt a bolt of lightning flash across his eyes, and then the giant snake disappeared without a trace.

In front of the ruins, the police looked at each other.

The commissioner put away his peach wood sword and called out, “Captain Liu.”

The middle-aged policeman in charge of the operation turned his head and lowered his voice: “They know what the stone carving spirit did, and they also know the general location where she is hiding. The wood carving spirit is a little nervous, but he doesn’t seem afraid of people. He may know something… Can you guys catch up to the snake yao?”

Seeing the commissioner shaking his head, Captain Liu waved his hand: “It’s okay, they are not dangerous people. The snake waited for the people in the building to leave before overturning the building. Go back and destroy the ten fragments in your hands first, and then let us think of a solution.”

A few policemen were left to inspect the scene. Captain Liu shook his index finger and joked with his colleagues as he walked to the police car: “Say, if all yaoguais were so small and harmless, wouldn’t it be great?”

“Then wouldn’t they be either turned into slaves, or driven out and killed? Some time ago, some people found the corpse of a yaoguai again, and it was all covered with… sigh.”

Captain Liu also sighed. He turned on his mobile phone and looked at it, “How is the Yaoguai Council doing?”

“There are no yaoguais willing to cooperate with the government, we can’t just catch a few yaoguais to join. It’s a very difficult situation.”

After getting into the police car, the two chatted a while more.

The commissioner took out a faintly hot yellow talisman from his arms.

“Are there any supernatural beings nearby? Do we need to check?”

“No, it’s normal. I burn two or three yellow talismans every day. There are indeed too many yaoguais.”

Under the hard and smooth road beneath the police car, there was a long and narrow tunnel. A rabbit stood and eavesdropped on the sounds outside.

After the police car drove away, Little Rabbit quickly ran into a passage on the right. Jump out of another hole and saw the snake yao and the small wooden sculpture.

After hearing from the rabbit spirit, Chu Shici’s eyes lit up.

Although he doesn’t know what Yaoguai Council is, it sounds like the government is interested in cooperating with the yaoguais.

Is this a two-way affair… between humans and yaoguais?

It seems this plan is reliable!

___

The rabbit spirit was very obedient and did not make any small moves throughout the process.

It can be seen that it is really afraid of the stone carving spirit, it almost worshiped the snake yao as its boss on the spot.

The journey was particularly smooth. They had visited every stronghold of the Stone Carving Spirit, but there was no trace of the Stone Carving Spirit anywhere.

When he arrived at the last place, Chu Shici looked at the empty room and sighed helplessly.

The little white rabbit was sniffing around. When he looked up, he saw the white snake staring at it intensely.

The snake yao flicked his tongue and said in a voice so cold that it almost froze on the spot, “Can’t find it? Then you are useless.”

This was a giveaway question. The rabbit spirit was so frightened that he immediately patted his chest signaling that he will take care of everything.

Rabbit Spirit really put in a lot of effort.

It ran into the surrounding mountains and forests and called other rabbit spirits out to dig holes together to find Dayangtian.

But after searching for a day and a night, they could not find the hiding place of the stone carving spirit.

In an abandoned house that is inaccessible to people, there is a giant snow-white snake.

There was a small wooden sculpture lying on his head, and more than two hundred rabbit spirits squatted in front of him, huddled together and shivering.

The Millennium Rabbit spirit stood up and wiped away tears, “We have searched all over the country. It’s not that we don’t work hard, it’s because we really can’t find her.”

Chu Shici was stunned. Has the stone carving spirit gone abroad?

No, there are other kinds of supernatural beings in other countries. The local vampires and werewolves will not let foreign yaoguais enter their country casually.

Moreover, the stone carving spirit’s rebellion plan was imminent, and she had no time to go abroad to recuperate.

Chu Shici thought of another possibility.

“Aren’t you depending on the holes in the ground to find people? Are buildings also within your searchable range?”

“Yes, but now, houses are more soundproof than before, and there are a lot of noises. We can only hear sounds from the first floor at most.”

Chu Shici understood. The stone carving spirit already knew that the rabbit spirit had changed sides, so she probably hid in which building.

The rabbit spirit pulled out a map, “But some rabbits guessed based on the clues left in the hole that she should have went here.”

After hearing the words, everyone looked in the direction it pointed.

Under the snow-white rabbit paws, there is a place name – Jinguang City.

Xunzhe was silent for a long time, his eyes moved slightly and he said with a hint of nostalgia, “This is the place where I once lived.”

Rabbit also sighed, “It’s a pity that the Taoist temple is gone. But frankly speaking, I still like my current life. I don’t want to live in a stone.”

From their conversation, Chu Shici inferred that the white marble sculpture was once placed in a Taoist temple in Jinguang City.

The stone carving spirit has returned home. What is she doing there, reminiscing before she dies?

Chu Shici felt that she could not be such a sentimental person, otherwise she would not have driven all of her companions in the same painting to a dead end.

Now that the decisive battle has come, there is no room for conspiracies and tricks anymore.

The stone carving spirit knows that she is no match for the snake yao and will not sit there and wait for them to come.

Xunzhe chased her all the way for more than two days. These two days are enough for her to prepare.

At the end of the day, they cannot afford to fail. It is a matter of Zhe-ge’s life and death. Chu Shici is highly determined and focused and his brain is spinning very fast.

The system seemed to have something to tell him, so he raised his hand to signal Tong-ge to wait.

A few minutes later, Chu Shici’s eyes lit up.

He patted Xunzhe’s head and said, “The stone carving spirit realized that her plan was exposed and she’s out in the open. She wants to join forces with the Yaoguai Slaying Alliance to accuse us of wrongdoings when she is the wrongdoer, her next step will probably be to find the police!”

Xunzhe reacted quickly, and the rabbit jumped twice anxiously: “What about the other yaoguais?”

“It’s useless. Those yaoguais have probably been devoured by her. While the police are still on our side, let’s go find the police quickly. We can’t let her shift the blame onto us!”

There once was a Taoist temple on a mountain in Jinguang City.

The Taoist priests there specialize in helping people catch ghosts and subdue demons. This Taoist temple is famous far and wide. Even the court will ask Taoist priests to help if they encounter problems that cannot be solved through normal means.

The Taoist temple prospered until the war caused by the change of dynasties spread to Jinguang City. The Taoist priests and nuns who went out to join the army to defend their country died in service.

After the fall of the dynasty, all the old Taoist priests and young Taoist boys who stayed in the Taoist temple were massacred by the enemy.

The foreign invaders burned, killed, looted, and destroyed whatever they could not take away. The Taoist temple was destroyed by fire, and the white marble stone murals were smashed by giant axes.

In the present day, although the mountains and forests have been restored to their original appearance, the Taoist temple and priests will never come back.

The local government relied on the verbal recollection passed down from generations to generations by nearby villagers to rebuild a Taoist temple on the original site.

It is planned to be gradually developed into a tourist attraction in the future to drive economic development.

Chu Shici was worried that if a fight broke out, he would get in the way as he was lying on top of the white snake, so he sat on the small lotus platform and floated up the mountain with the snake yao.

He had already heard the story about the Taoist Temple from the little rabbit spirit.

The rabbit said that the newly built Taoist temple is not good-looking at all, and is much different from the fairy-like Taoist temple in his memory.

Pu Xin, who was floating next to him, empathized with them heavily: “The benefactor’s home is gone, and the humble monk has no home either.”

The old monk lowered his head to wipe his tears. The rabbit spirit also cried when he saw this, and the atmosphere became very solemn for a while.

The snake yao was quiet all the way, but Chu Shici knew that Xunzhe felt uncomfortable.

He stroked the white snake’s cold scales soothingly, trying to give him some comfort.

When he turned around, he saw a conspicuous light spot, which was the reflection of a sniper scope.

Chu Shici patted the lotus seat, and the little lotus gave off a burst of bright golden light, and the light spot in the forest flickered twice and disappeared.

Climbing along the mountain road to the top of the mountain, and the majestic Taoist temple appears in front of them.

Only one of the buildings is more than three stories tall.

After the moon rises, the silvery moonlight shines on the Taoist temple, coating it with a layer of holy light.

For a moment, Xunzhe seemed to see the former Taoist temple. He stopped in front of the Taoist temple and stared at the closed door.

Chu Shici knew what the snake yao was waiting for. He was waiting for the little Taoist boy to open the door.

There couldn’t be some Taoist boy, Xunzhe quickly realized. He pursed his lips, turned into a human and walked into the Taoist temple.

The journey was smooth and they successfully reached the top.

In the empty hall, a black shadow flashed past. Chu Shici can feel the presence of the Buddha Light, which means that the stone carving spirit is nearby.

They followed the shadow to the large courtyard of the Taoist temple, where a woman stood where the white marble sculptures once stood.

Hearing the sound of Xunzhe’s footsteps hitting the ground, the woman turned around and revealed a featureless face covered with cracks.

Xunzhe’s cold eyes fell on her, “Dayangtian.”

A crack opened in the woman’s mouth, and a soft female voice came out, “Xunzhe.”

After these words, both of them fell silent.

This is a confrontation between two masters, a silent competition.

But Chu Shici felt that she was not worthy to be a master: “Zhe-ge, get rid of her!”

Just as Xunzhe was about to move, the stone carving spirit suddenly spoke: “Xunzhe, aren’t you curious why I sealed you five hundred years ago?”

Chu Shici was afraid that she would attack Zhe-ge mentally again, so he patted the little lotus and answered, “Not curious at all! Beat her up!”

“You and I are one. I did all this to protect you. There is…”

“Zhe-ge is awesome!”

“There is no place for yaoguais in heaven, even if…”

“Let’s go!”

Stone carving spirit: ……

Several sentences were interrupted one after another, part of her plan failed.

The stone carving spirit reacted very calmly. She let out a sigh full of pity, opened her mouth and had just said the word “you”, but Chu Shici beat her to it.

The little monk shook a branch in his hand and pointed at the woman, giving her the middle finger, “Damn it, you idiot!”

The stone carving spirit was disrupted and her reaction was delayed for a moment. In less than half a second, the silver-haired man had already rushed forward, stabbing the woman with his long sharp nails.

The stone carving spirit dodged, then she clasped her hands and cast spells while saying urgently: “I advise you not to continue your ignorance! Rebellion is not a trivial matter. It will cause world devastation! Can you bear the crime?”

Xunzhe sneered, his eyes full of ridicule, “Aren’t you talking about yourself?”

The stone carving spirit sighed and wanted to say something else.

The little monk sat on a little lotus platform and flew around her head, shouting “stupid, stupid, stupid” non-stop, which was similar to that of a demonic whisper in the ear like a spell to brainwash her.

Stone carving spirit: ……

She wanted to speak, but the little wooden sculpture shouted so loudly that her voice was completely covered.

The stone carving spirit endured and endured, and all the cracks on her face exploded.

She focused her mind and glanced at the little monk, “Don’t be ungrateful! If I hadn’t given you the spiritual qi, how can you, an object that has taken a life, have the chance to gain consciousness!”

Chu Shici made a sound and hit her on the head with a small branch, “You liar! I gained wisdom because of a bug in the system. You don’t even have a face, yet you still think so highly of your appearance!”

“You don’t want to know…”

“I don’t want to! Zhe-ge, shut her up!”

Although she doesn’t know what the stone carving spirit is trying to do, she is very good at confusing people.

Chu Shici will not give her any chance to use her skills, will not listen, be curious, or want to know.

Xunzhe tore through the stone carving spirit’s defense and clawed at her chest with murderous intent.

It seems that she was seriously injured by the snake yao in the rabbit hole before and didn’t have time to recover. In addition to being harassed all the time, the stone carving spirit stumbled and had no time to dodge before she was caught by the snake yao.

Sharp nails tore through her clothes and she let out a cry of terror.

The next second, a bunch of yaoguai slayers suddenly poured into the originally silent Taoist temple.

Their magical weapons are all different, it would appear many of them come from different sects.

One of the leaders pointed at Xunzhe and shouted: “Bold snake yao! How dare you plot a rebellion and even hurt the Earth immortal Lady Dayangtian!”

Xunzhe sneered and turned around.

He withdrew his force in time, and his nails only scratched a layer of the woman’s skin.

Seeing the safe and sound stone carving spirit, everyone was stunned.

The leader of the men was the first to react. He pointed his peach wood sword at Xunzhe: “We already know about your plans to rebel, and now everyone here is a witness. The ambition of a wolf is obvious to everyone. Today we will kill and subdue the rampaging demons! We will do justice for the heavens!”

His words brought back painful memories for Xunzhe. Before his past could come back to haunt him, his earlobe was kissed gently.

A familiar and gentle voice came to his ears, “Zhe-ge, you can enter the underworld alone, and you can also fight against heavenly soldiers and generals. You are a dragon without horns. How can a dragon be stepped on by these things that are inferior to beasts?”

The little lotus platform flew in front of him, and Xunzhe lowered his eyes to face the little monk on the lotus platform.

The moment the two looked at each other, Chu Shici smiled reassuringly.

“Zhe-ge, don’t worry, just carry on fighting, leave everything else to me. It doesn’t matter if you beat her to death, I have a way to deal with it. The Yaoguai Slaying Alliance once broke your pride and forced you to a dead end. Now you have to tell them, ‘My fist is still strong, my back is still straight. You didn’t knock me down, I, Xunzhe, stood up again.’”

The silver moonlight shone on him, illuminating the rich and unconcealed love in his eyes, making Xunzhe pause for a moment in breathing.

Chu Shici heard a notification sound, reminding him that his vitality value had surged to 77.

Xunzhe’s eyes shifted slightly.

Every time the small wooden sculpture looks at him, he seems to be saying, ‘I love you and I will accompany you.’ over and over again.

Even though he was not good at words, Ah Ci could guess the feelings that he could not express.

It was clear that Chu Shici was only as big as a palm, but Xunzhe felt that as long as he was around, he would no longer have to face any dangers alone.

The long-suppressed pride burst out from his soul.

He picked up the stone carving spirit who was still acting, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, “It seems that you’ve learned your lesson from last time and know that the Buddha Light will expose you. This time, you specially found someone to get it out for you and put it in the substitute soul.”

“If I kill you, I will be killing an Earth immortal. Then the deity behind you can justifiably kill me.”

Seeing that her plan is completely exposed, the stone carving spirit stopped pretending, and a huge crack opened in her mouth, as if she was laughing.

Xunzhe lowered his eyes and looked at her coldly, “Those yaoguais haven’t come out until now, did you eat them all already? We are all yaoguais, you really are ruthless.”

The voice of the stone carving spirit became particularly sharp: “The underworld has revised the merit book, and there are witnesses here. You are already a sinner, and it was you who planned the rebellion and organized the body snatches!”

Her figure gradually dissipated, and finally turned into a piece of paper with an eight characters of birth written on it, with a faint Buddha Light attached to it.

Chu Shici waved, and the Buddha Light rushed into his arms as if seeing a relative.

At the same time, cracks appeared on the ground, and a white marble sculpture rose from the ground.

The landscape is spattered with blood, and the yaoguais who are still conscious are struggling in it.

The monkey was completely devoured by the mural and hung motionless on the tree. The white fox struggled desperately, but to no avail.

Only the white snake and the little rabbit are left uneaten.

When the white fox also stopped moving, the white marble stone sculpture slowly changed and turned into a huge monster.

She has antlers, the body of a fox, the wings of a bird, the tail of a monkey, and the scales of a fish. In addition, there are many characteristics of small animals on her body.

The stone carving spirit showed a ferocious smile, “Can you defeat more than three hundred yaoguai slayers and a dozen thousand-year-old demons? So what if you have already found out the truth, Xunzhe? Corpses can’t defend themselves.”

Finally able to take revenge, Xunzhe ignored her words and turned into a giant white snake and pounced, coiling his body around her.

Upon seeing this, the group of yaoguai slayers immediately gathered around to help. They were shouting about slaying the yaoguais, but no one attacked the stone carving spirit. They were all beating up the white snake.

A series of talismans were thrown at him, and Xunzhe flicked his tail, sending them flying backwards.

Seeing this, Chu Shici patted the little lotus platform, which emitted a frequency of golden light.

The stone carving spirit noticed something unusual about him, and while Xunzhe was being held back by the Yaoguai Slaying Alliance, she narrowed his eyes and asked warily: “Little one, what are you doing?”

“It’s nothing. I just didn’t expect that there would be more than 300 of your friends here today. It really exceeded the budget. The silver cuffs prepared are not enough. I’ll let them grab a few more pairs.”

“…?”
