Cheng Hao had watched the movie before, so he more or less understood the grudge between the fish demon and the fishing village.
When the fish demon was alive, he had passed by the fishing village and saved Chang Sheng, a little girl who had accidentally fallen into the river.
Unfortunately, the story of a good man being rewarded did not happen to him. Instead, he was rewarded with the fury of the villagers and the curses of the human traffickers.
In the end, he was beaten to death by the villagers as a human trafficker, and his body was thrown into the lake. He died with great grievance and indignation.
It was precisely because he had suffered great humiliation and indignation that his resentment did not dissipate after his death. In the end, he turned into a fish demon and launched his revenge on the fishing village. Chang Sheng, the little girl who had caused his tragic death, was the target of his vengeance.
Therefore, Cheng Hao had no sympathy for the suffering of this fishing village. They had to bear the sins that they had committed even if they had tears in their eyes. After all, when they killed people without distinguishing right from wrong, they had never thought about whether the young man who was beaten to death by them really deserved to die!
After that, Cheng Hao did not wander around. He stopped not far away from the fishing village and waited for Master Xuanzang, who would appear next.
The next morning, mourning music was played in the village for the funeral of the deceased. Then, the villagers began to collect money to invite a powerful exorcist. It was said that this immortal was so powerful that he could subdue demons and exorcise demons and summon the wind and rain. It was a piece of cake for him.
Not long after, an "expert" wearing a scholar's hat, a long sword on his back, a black mole at the corner of his mouth, and a mustache in the shape of a Chinese character was invited over. He walked unsteadily and was wearing a coarse Taoist robe.
"Dear villagers, this humble Taoist has been studying in the immortal mountain for many years. It is not difficult for me to deal with a little demon like this. Today, I heard that there are demons causing trouble here, so I am here to subdue them and return a clean body of water to everyone! "The so-called expert raised his hand and shouted at the villagers.
Cheng Hao chuckled in the crowd as he watched the 'expert' dancing like a god. He had no intention of going forward to expose him. After all, what he liked the most was to stand aside and watch the 'movie'.
The villagers in the fishing village were stunned. Then, the expert rowed a small boat to the center of the lake. He mumbled something and took out a small ball from his bag.
The expert threw talismans and played with the sword on the boat. After a while, he felt that it was enough. He picked up the ball, lit the fuse on it, and threw it into the water.
Even with such a clumsy method of exploding fish, the fishermen still did not suspect him. Instead, they all looked expectant, as if they were waiting for the expert to give them a clean water area.
With a loud bang, a big fish slowly floated up from the lake. The fishermen in the fishing village were overjoyed. They rowed their boats forward and used fishing nets to drag the fish ashore.
The head of the fishing village brought a few people with him. They carried a few salted fish and stopped the 'expert' who was about to leave. "Taoist priest, thank you for getting rid of the evil for the people. Here are a few thousand-year-old salted fish. Please accept them."
The expert looked at the salted fish on the plate and his mouth twitched involuntarily. He hurriedly pushed the plate away. "As a cultivator, my goal is to help the world. I can't accept such precious things."
Seeing that the expert did not accept them, the village head did not force him. Instead, he followed the villagers and surrounded the big fish that was blown up and shouted, "Revenge!"
"Kill it!"
"Isn't it dead?"
"Kill it again!"
At that moment, a soft voice came from behind the crowd. "You're all mistaken. It didn't kill the people!"
Cheng Hao, who was thinking about whether he should try the grilled fish at noon, heard the voice. He immediately understood that the main character of the Journey to the West had arrived.
Not far away, a young man with fluffy hair appeared in front of everyone. The young man's clothes were tattered, and he held a somewhat tattered book in his hand. He slowly walked over to the big fish that had been blasted to death.
"It's just a Gu Shi fish. It's gentle and has a positive personality. It's a good person. Unfortunately, it's a little too big."
"Who are you?" someone asked unhappily.
"I'm Chen Xuanzang, a Mahayana Buddhist disciple who hasn't been tonsured. I'm an exorcist who slays demons and demons," the young man said with a serious face.
The village head said, "We've seen Gu Shi fish before, but we've never seen one so big. The Taoist Master said that it was possessed by a demon …"
Chen Xuanzang struck a pose that he thought was very cool and waved his hand. "It's not a demon. Look at this book …"
Before he could finish, he was slapped in the face.
"Have you ever had a husband who died?" the middle-aged woman who had just lost her husband asked angrily.
"Sister-in-law, I don't have a husband …" Chen Xuanzang wanted to explain.
"Smack!" Another slap.
"Have you ever had a husband who died?" Before Chen Xuanzang could finish, another slap came.
The expert fanned the flames and rushed to a higher place to stir up the emotions. "A good father was brutally killed by a demon, and this young man is still defending the demon. He's not human, he's the demon's accomplice!"
The villagers were instantly enraged. "Kill him!" "Kill him!"
Cheng Hao's face was calm as he watched this scene. When he saw this scene, he could imagine that the villagers back then were just like today. They were all agitated and killed the previous incarnation of the Fish Demon without distinguishing between right and wrong.
"Karma is a cycle. Retribution is not good! Some people really don't deserve sympathy! "
He lowered his head and looked at the dark lake not far away. The fish demon was already lurking in the center of the lake, quietly waiting for someone to enter the water again.
He sighed softly. He did not care about the lives of these villagers. However, Cheng Hao had a good impression of the little girl Changsheng who looked similar to Nanan. He did not want her to die in the fish demon's mouth.
He lifted his foot and stomped lightly on the pier. Instantly, the expert who was standing by the pier 'accidentally' fell into the lake.
"Aiyo, which idiot pushed me into the water? Do you think I won't go up there and beat him to death?! "
The "expert" was very unhappy that he was pushed into the water. He cursed as he flopped around in the water. This guy knew how to swim. After a few flops, he grabbed the chopping board of the pier with both hands.
"Aiyo!"
However, a pair of big, steady feet happened to step on the "expert's" hands, causing him to grimace in pain. However, he could not climb up to the shore for a while.
"My expert elder, why are you in such a hurry to climb up to the shore? Stay in the water and play for a while. After all, these waters are clean and peaceful because of you!"
