Chapter 856 Fighting Fire with Fire
Seeing the Gu's fish, which was at least three or four meters long, floating in the water, the villagers in all the villages were stunned, and then they cheered with excitement.
Many villagers drove boats to the center of the river and fished out the huge carcass of the fish.
The Taoist priest came to the dock with a smile on his face, his hands behind his back, standing on the bow of the boat, and acting like a master.
The villagers immediately surrounded him under the leadership of the village chief, looking at him in awe.
The village chief held a bamboo basket in his hand and handed it to the Taoist priest with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, Taoist Priest, for getting rid of demons in this village. There are a small silver coin here and two thousand-year-old salted fish. Please accept it, Taoist Priest!"
"..."
The fake Taoist priest smelled the strong smell of two thousand-year-old salted fish. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said without changing his expression: "Hey As a Taoist, I only aim to help the world. I won't use such a precious thing." need!"
As he spoke, the fake Taoist priest suppressed his nausea, picked up two thousand-year-old salted fish, and returned them to the village chief.
Then, the Taoist priest turned around and said loudly: "Now, I have killed this monster. How to deal with it is up to you!"
The villagers' faces were full of hatred and they shouted: "Kill it, kill it!"
An inappropriate voice came: "Isn't it already dead?"
The villagers were stunned for a moment, then shouted angrily: "Then beat him to death again!"
Behind the crowd, a young man rolled his eyes: "I told you, it's really unreasonable. If you want to kill a dead fish, you can only go to the underworld to find its soul."
"It just so happens that I know a shortcut to the underworld. Do you want to give you a ride?"
The young man joked with a smile, not worried at all that his remarks would cause public outrage.
Many villagers turned around angrily and looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw a young man with black hair and a young man with a chicken coop standing there. The former looked at them with a smile, and the latter was flipping through the book, seeming to be looking for some written records.
"……who are you?"
The village chief glared at the two of them.
Du Qian said seriously: "It's just a passing Kamen Rider!"
Fake... Kamen Rider?
All the villagers were stunned.
"Crazy talk!" The village chief turned his head angrily, looked at the young man in the chicken coop and said, "Who are you?"
"me?"
Chen Xuanzang raised his head in confusion, and then said in a serious tone: "My name is Chen Xuanzang. I am an unorthodox disciple of Mahayana Buddhism and an exorcist who can subdue demons and eliminate demons."
As he spoke, Chen Xuanzang said seriously: "Folks, you are all wrong. It is not the murderer!"
Chen Xuanzang showed the book in his hand, pointed to the picture on it and explained: "It is just a Gu's fish. It has a kind nature, a positive and optimistic personality, and a pretty good character. It's a pity that it has grown a little bigger..."
At the end of the sentence, Chen Xuanzang's tone became regretful and regretful.
When the village chief heard that he was also an exorcist, his tone instantly softened and he explained: "It's not that we've never seen Gu's fish before, but we've never seen one this big. The Taoist priest said it's possessed by a monster! "
Chen Xuanzang looked helpless, showed his book and said: "Village Chief, if you don't believe me, just look at it, it's really not the monster you are looking for!"
Seeing this scene, the Taoist priest's heart skipped a beat, fearing that this young man might have exposed his scam.
So he jumped out immediately, brewing his emotions, and said with grief: "A good father was killed by a monster, and the innocent victim's family members were in agony. You actually said such words, you...you..."
After saying that, the Taoist priest immediately covered his face and became sad.
Many villagers resonated and glared at Chen Xuanzang.
An aunt came to Chen Xuanzang angrily and asked with red eyes: "Have you ever had your husband die?"
Chen Xuanzang looked confused and said with a wry smile: "Sister, you have to believe me, I don't have a husband..."
The aunt turned a deaf ear and continued to ask: "Just tell me, have you ever had your husband die?!"
Chen Xuanzang smiled bitterly and said: "I..."
Before he finished speaking, Du Qian suddenly jumped out, staring at the Taoist priest with his eyes widened and his fingers trembling.
"Okay, I didn't dare to recognize it just now, but now I take a closer look, and it's really you!"
"Okay, okay, you're an exhibitionist, you're a pervert, you're a scoundrel who molested Chengnan King's widow, and I caught you here. Come on, I have to arrest you and bring you before the official today!"
With that said, Du Qian rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward.
The Taoist priest didn't care about pretending, and immediately stared at Du Qian with his eyes wide open, with a confused expression on his face.
"you--"
Just when the Taoist priest was full of anger and was about to accuse Du Qian, an unknown fire ignited from his body, and then turned into streams of flames, escaping from the Taoist priest's mouth, nostrils, ears, and even between his legs. out.
For a moment, the Taoist priest's nine orifices were filled with fire and seven orifices were filled with smoke.
The surrounding villagers were frightened and stayed away from the Taoist priest.
Du Qian seemed to be startled by the other party, and quickly took a step back, looking at him with vigilance and anger and said: "Okay, okay, I pointed out the crime, and you became angry and wanted to breathe fire to hurt me, right? You really did that He’s an exhibitionist and a pervert!”
"I--"
The Taoist priest's eyes widened, and he had no idea why flames were coming out of his body.
He glared at the young man, and just when he was about to explain, the nameless fire ignited again, causing nine of his orifices to burst into flames and seven of his orifices to produce smoke.
Du Qian said with determination: "He's in a hurry, he's in a hurry!"
When the villagers heard Du Qian's words and saw the angry Taoist priest, their stunned eyes gradually turned to suspicion.
The Taoist priest noticed the disdainful gazes of everyone, and felt extremely sad and angry, but a force controlled his body, forcing him to open his mouth and continuously spit out the flames in his body.
Not only that, the flames clearly ignited from within his body, but they were completely unable to harm him.
Such a strange scene made it difficult for the ignorant villagers to suspect that this was the Taoist priest's own tricks.
Du Qian cursed the Taoist priest in a low voice again, then glanced at the astonished faces of the surrounding villagers and said, "You don't believe it?"
"If you don't believe me, just give it a try. Hey, that aunt is you. Didn't you have a dead husband? It just so happens that this pervert likes widows. As long as you stand in front of him, you will know that what I said is true!"
Hearing these words, the aunt who was still questioning Chen Xuanzang was startled and immediately showed hesitation.
...You are so hesitant!
Do you really think I have a penchant for widows?
The Taoist priest subconsciously turned his head angrily and glared at the aunt.
At this moment, Du Qian secretly pointed his finger and activated his magical power [Shirtless Battle].
In an instant, the Taoist priest's robe burst open, revealing his skinny body like ribs.
Many surrounding villagers suddenly screamed in surprise, and the aunt screamed as if she had been violated. She immediately covered her body with her hands and backed away, looking at the shirtless Taoist priest with a look of horror and shame.
The Taoist priest opened his eyes wide and looked at the aunt in disbelief.
Seeing this scene, many young and middle-aged male villagers looked at the Taoist priest with something wrong in their eyes.
In this era, especially in remote fishing villages like Yulong Village, women's honor and integrity are very important. Even if their husbands die, they must remain widows for the rest of their lives and are not allowed to remarry.
After all, people who go to sea can easily die if they encounter strong winds and waves.
Therefore, the number of widows in Yulong Village is not small.
Many young men also know that they may become like this in the future.
Human nature is selfish, even the ignorant villagers do not want to see his wife fooling around with other people after his death.
Therefore, in Yulong Village, all adulterers and adulterers, whether before or after marriage or widowed, will be imprisoned in a pig cage.
When many male villagers began to doubt the Taoist priest's character, Du Qian quietly became their representative.
Du Qian's face was filled with anger, his fingers were trembling slightly, and he pointed at the shirtless Taoist priest and said, "You...you...shameless!"
Many male villagers resonated and shouted angrily along with Du Qian: "Shameless! Shameless!"
Du Qian struck while the iron was hot and shouted angrily: "You pervert, beat him to death! Beat him to death!"
The aunt who asked Chen Xuanzang, "Has her husband ever died?" had already noticed the strange looks from her husband's brothers.
In order to protect her reputation and life, the auntie was filled with anger and was the first to shout:
"Kill him! Beat him to death!"
All the male villagers glared at the Taoist priest and shouted: "Beat him to death! Beat him to death!"
Hearing the shouts around him, the Taoist priest panicked and immediately wanted to explain.
At this moment, Du Qian turned off his magical power [avoiding the truth and turning to the weak], strode forward, and punched the Taoist priest in the abdomen, causing him to swallow back any words of defense he had not yet spoken.
At the same time, this move also inspired the villagers to take action.
They all stepped forward and beat the Taoist priest with a frightened face.
Chen Xuanzang stared blankly at the chaotic scene in front of him. Suddenly, a big hand stretched out from the side grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the crowd.
After seeing the smile of the young man in front of him clearly, Chen Xuanzang swallowed and couldn't help but feel a trace of panic in his eyes.
At this time, in his eyes, Du Qian was not a handsome young man, he was clearly the devil mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures!
Du Qian hugged his shoulders with a smile, ignored the chaotic scene behind him, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's leave this to the hospitable villagers of Yulong Village. Let's go into the water first and see how we can cook that fish." Fish demon..."
Chen Xuanzang swallowed and said without hesitation: "I will listen to you!"
