Chapter 973 Xuanzang

The villagers on the bank and on the stilts all opened their eyes, completely unaware of what happened and what the situation is now! All I know is that there was a loud bang in the water, and a huge shadow rushed out of the water, almost eating the second baby of the Luo family.

One after another, villagers shouted and ran to Luo Er, who was lying on the bank.

After a while, someone let out a scream.

"There are water demons!"

This sound was like the crowing of chickens in the morning and the barking of dogs in the middle of the night, which immediately caused a wave of echoes.

"There are water demons!"

"There is a water demon in the river!"

"What a big water monster!"

The villagers shouted wildly and kept away from the shore, but looked from a distance, seeming to be both fearful and curious about the things in the water.

The villagers in the ancient village continued to rush over from their homes after hearing this side's shouting, either to check the situation of the young man lying on the ground, or to look at the river in fear and doubt.

"There have been no water demons in the river for so many years, how come there are water demons suddenly?" an old man asked.

"We don't know either, we only know that Luo Er was almost eaten by the water demon! I don't know why, he suddenly flew out of the water..." The witness said in horror, and the point was vivid and vivid, "You didn't see it. Ah, that water monster is so big, it rushed out of the water behind Luo Er's buttocks, and the water in the river splashed three stories high, almost biting Luo Er!"

"Yeah, it happened right in front of my house. I was in the house with my wife at the time... The water spray almost splashed in from the window, which shocked me!"

"What does the water demon look like?" the old man asked.

"Forehead……"

"It all happened too fast to see clearly."

"The water demon came up with a bang, and then fell with a bang, I couldn't react at all!"

"Oh, that's right!" The old man lowered his head thoughtfully, "Could it be that you read it wrong?"

"No, no, it's so big, how can it be wrong?"

"It may be that you are all dazzled..."

Just as she was talking, a middle-aged woman suddenly slapped her thigh and screamed, then turned her head to look around: "Aiya! Where is my parent's life? After the water demon, where did my parent's life go? Could it be the water demon..."

Everyone's heart sank immediately.

Then someone comforted: "No, no... That child of Changsheng doesn't usually play in the water. No matter how fierce the water demon is, it can't go ashore and harm people!"

"No, I have to find my parents!"

"Be careful... Sixth Aunt!"

The middle-aged woman didn't answer, she stumbled to one side and shouted, "Longevity, longevity..."

The old man who said everyone was dazzled withdrew his gaze, lowered his head to think for a moment, sighed deeply, and said, "It's not good to make trouble with the water demon, we're all pointing to the river to eat, we can't go on like this! We have to find a way. …”

"Let's go to the exorcist to catch the demon!"

"Yeah! Big guy put together some money..."

****************************

At this time, Changsheng was still staying by Anyang's side, staring blankly at the calm river and a large group of people on the bank, his mouth gradually shriveled, and a little tears welled up in his big eyes. It looks very pitiful.

Anyang turned his head and glanced at him, and immediately twitched his mouth: "Why are you crying? Isn't your second cousin all right? Don't cry, don't cry..."

Xiao Changsheng turned his head and stared at him, his hands were twisted together in front of him, his eyes were full of tears, but he didn't cry out, only a moment later said weakly, "My daddy is a fisherman. The uncles and uncles in the village are also many fishermen, and now there are water demons in the river, who want to eat people, our family and uncles and uncles will starve to death..."

Anyang didn't know whether he was old or not. Seeing this little girl who was only four or five years old, she felt very cute, and she felt a little distressed when she saw her cry.

"No! The people in your village have already gone to invite the exorcist, and the water demon will be caught soon!"

"Really?" Changsheng opened his eyes wide.

"Really." Anyang grinned, thinking in his heart that if he had a daughter in the future, would he be as cute as this little girl? Still as naughty as you were when you were a kid?

But don't be like yourself.

No matter how bad it is... it's good to be like Anyou!

It didn't take long for Changsheng's mother to find this place and immediately shouted: "Changsheng! Why are you here, Changsheng! I've had a hard time finding you, I'm worried about my dead mother!"

"Mother!" Changsheng turned back and shouted crisply, and immediately ran towards the middle-aged woman.

Changsheng's mother first squatted down and hugged her in her arms, and said two words that were half reprimand and half caring, and then put her behind her and looked at Anyang: "Who are you? Why are you with my daughter?"

Anyang smiled: "She came to me."

Changsheng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, stared at Anyang, and said, "Yeah, he's not a bad guy, he's a friend I just met, and I came to him, mother..."

"That's right!" The middle-aged woman was no longer fierce, but she still maintained her vigilance, pulling Changsheng and saying, "Changsheng, let's go quickly, there was just a water demon in the village, everyone is worried about you! Don't run around anymore, you know?"

"Got it, I saw the water demon."

"Have you seen it? What does the water demon look like?"

"Yeah, he pointed it to me. It's a big fish with a big mouth, very scary." Changsheng said.

"What did he mean to you?" The middle-aged woman summed it up a little, and immediately pulled Changsheng back, "Let's go tell others!"

"Um."

Changsheng turned around and waved at Anyang seriously, only to be dragged away by her mother.

Their figures disappeared from Anyang's sight, but they just turned a corner, Anyang could still hear the middle-aged woman admonishing Xiao Changsheng: "The way that person came from is unknown, and it happened that as soon as he came to the village, there was trouble in the village. Demon, you are not allowed to play with him in the future, understand?"

Xiao Changsheng opened his eyes and asked, "Why?"

"Why are there so many reasons, just be obedient to the child, I'm your mother, and I won't hurt you!"

"But he's a good man! He's still my friend..." Xiao Changsheng took a sip of the red translucent strawberry-flavored lollipop and said calmly, "He gave me this candy..."

"Huh? How can you just accept other people's food? Or eat it, what if it's poisonous?" The middle-aged woman slapped Xiao Changsheng on the hand, "If he wasn't a bad guy, why would he give it to you for no reason? Candy? This kind of thing doesn't look like candy, it looks like poison!"

"It's delicious." Xiao Changsheng licked it again, holding the candy stick tightly to prevent it from being knocked off.

"You disobedient dead girl..."

Anyang was still sitting alone on the stilted building far away from where the water monsters haunted. He shook his head and smiled bitterly. The cool breeze blowing from the mountain and the river made his wide coat and cuffs sway slightly.

It's not too far from the town, and in the afternoon, a group of trembling villagers invited an exorcist.

It's the priests in the original story.

I saw a large crowd of people standing bustling below, and almost the entire villagers of the ancient village gathered together, saying that it is no exaggeration to say that there are three floors and three floors, and they are watching the group of "exorcists"!

It was a flat land near the river, and it could even be said that this flat land was built on the river and was made of wooden planks.

From the angle of Anyang, you can see that this group of Taoist priests have set up a mahogany table next to the river. There are incense cases, fruits and tributes on the table. , while several other little Taoist priests jumped around in the open space surrounded by the villagers.

The villagers were staring at the outside!

This is the performance that may make modern people feel a little funny, and it stuns these villagers for a while!

A few minutes later, an older middle-aged Taoist priest stepped on a boat that had been prepared for a long time. The boat was also equipped with incense tables and tributes, and several flags were planted and covered with yellow talismans, and gradually moved towards the river with the waves. The center floats past.

I saw him wave the yellow robe on his body, took out a red peach wood sword, and began to chant a spell that he could not understand.

"Brush! Brush! Brush!"

He danced the peach wood sword like a tiger!

Not long after, he held a sword in his left hand and made a sword finger in his left hand, and from under the incense table on the boat, he took out a ball with a talisman paper attached to it, and a rope was tied to it.

With a bang, he threw the ball into the river.

In an instant, his spell became intense, until he pointed the peach wood sword to the sky and shouted: "Hum!"

"Boom!"

There was a big explosion in the river, and the fire was fleeting, but the waves stirred up more than ten meters high. A piece of white foam spread along the river like smoke!

The villagers who were watching suddenly let out a cry of exclamation.

Anyang, who was watching from a distance, smiled.

This Taoist priest is also quite clever.

Although there was gunpowder in the Tang Dynasty, gunpowder was not used as a weapon. Except for fireworks and refrigeration, the biggest use of gunpowder was to pretend to be a ghost. This Taoist priest undoubtedly pretended to be a new realm, and added many details to it.

Anyang didn't know if these Taoists could be regarded as the most unpopular "exorcists", but the behavior of these Taoists was definitely deceptive, even if they knew that there were water demons in the river, their bravery could not be wiped away. eliminate this fact.

A few seconds later, a huge fish corpse began to float in the river. From the appearance, it should be a cartilaginous fish of the ray family, with a very large body.

It's called Goosefish.

The modern scientific name should be called manta ray.

The villagers were stunned and stepped forward one after another to look at the big fish with its pectoral fins spread out to a width of six meters.

"Take it up!"

"I come!"

A group of indignant villagers immediately propped up the boat and approached the Gu's fish, as if preparing to pull it back.

On the other hand, Anyang was expressionless, looked at the river and glanced at the crowd, and soon found a unkempt, tattered young man leaning on a cane.

"Xuanzang!"

The corner of Anyang's mouth twitched.
