Water Mound Stronghold!!!
At this time, the residents of the Water Mound Stronghold were surrounding the lake. In the middle of the crowd, there was an incense burner table, and a group of people in Taoist robes were playing the flutes and drums, singing and dancing. On the other side, a Taoist priest with a Taoist crown and Taoist robes rowed to the middle of the lake in a small boat, waving the peach wood sword in his hand while chanting to the lake.
"Ha!" Suddenly, the Taoist priest held the sword in one hand and threw a ball-like object into the lake. Then, he shouted at the lake.
Boom!!! —
With a loud explosion, the lake suddenly exploded. Then, a huge Gushi fish covered in wounds slowly floated up from the bottom of the lake.
"Master, the monster was caught by that Taoist priest." Ye Xuan, who was standing on the roof of a rather tall building in the water stronghold, saw the huge fish float up. Chen Xuanzang looked at Ye Xuan with half regret and half joy.
Chen Xuanzang felt regret because he rushed over to subdue the monster. But he was happy because he saw that the monster had been caught. In the future, there would be no more victims.
"Did he really catch it? Xuanzang, take a closer look at that so-called monster, "Ye Xuan glanced at the so-called monster when he heard Chen Xuanzang's words.
"Hmm? Master, what do you mean? "Chen Xuanzang was startled. Then, he turned his head and looked in that direction again.
With Chen Xuanzang's current Xiantian strength, and the fact that the two of them were only a few hundred meters away from the lake, Chen Xuanzang didn't feel any pressure to see clearly at such a short distance.
Chen Xuanzang didn't look carefully because he was happy that the monster had been caught. After Ye Xuan's guidance, he looked again and indeed found some problems.
"Master, that's not right. This disciple seems to know that fish. It's a species called Gushi fish. This kind of fish is docile and extremely optimistic. It won't attack people. How could it be a monster? Did that Taoist priest make a mistake, Master? "Chen Xuanzang finally saw the shape of the fish and looked at Ye Xuan in surprise.
Ye Xuan smiled and looked at the fishermen who were rowing their boats to bring the monster back. He shook his head and said, "That Daoist priest didn't make a mistake. You're the one who's mistaken, Xuanzang."
"Did I make a mistake?" Chen Xuanzang looked at Ye Xuan in confusion.
"That fish is not a Gurth fish. Its name is Manta Ray's Life in the Sea. It got its name because its pectoral fins look like the wings of a bat. However, you're right about one thing. It's indeed docile. It only eats planktonic crustaceans and small fishes. It won't hurt people, "Ye Xuan said calmly.
"So this fish is called a manta ray. I've learned a lot." After listening to Ye Xuan's words, Chen Xuanzang nodded his head. However, he quickly regained his composure and said, "Master, since it won't hurt people, then why don't you use it? Then how could it be a monster? That Taoist priest must have made a mistake, right? "
Ye Xuan smiled faintly and shook his head. "Do you know why I said that the Taoist priest didn't make a mistake?"
"I don't know!" Chen Xuanzang shook his head in confusion.
"I told you to look at the fish, but you didn't look carefully. What's the point of studying the fish's name? Look carefully. The manta ray's abdomen is full of knife wounds. There's not even a drop of blood flowing out. The wounds are all swollen and white. Don't you find it strange? "Ye Xuan curled his lips.
If you're lying, you should be more professional. The prop is so obvious. Failure!
"Uh. Master, you're talking about this Gurth fish. No, you're saying that this manta ray died long ago. It wasn't just killed by that Taoist priest. In other words, the real monster hasn't been caught yet, right? "Chen Xuanzang finally figured it out and looked at Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan didn't say anything. He just nodded his head lightly.
"How can I do that? Isn't this a lie? There are monsters in the lake. If that monster appears again, people will die. No, I have to tell the villagers. "After saying that, Chen Xuanzang's figure flashed and he quickly leaped toward the water stronghold.
Looking at Chen Xuanzang leaping away, Ye Xuan shook his head helplessly. A smile flashed across his face. Then, his figure flashed and he flew after Chen Xuanzang.
Seeing that the Demon Vanquishing Taoist priest had caught the monster in the lake, the villagers of the Water Hound Stronghold were overjoyed. They first dragged the 'monster' back with a boat, then tied it up with a rope.
"Taoist priest, you're so powerful! Taoist priest's power is boundless! … "
The Demon Vanquishing Taoist priest set off in high spirits. Listening to the villagers' praises, he felt as if he was floating in the air.
"Thank you, Taoist priest!" At that moment, the village chief of the Water Hound Stronghold walked over with a small bamboo drawer filled with silver. He first thanked the Taoist priest with a smile, then handed over the small bamboo drawer in his hand. "Here are some silver and two thousand-year-old salted fish. Please accept them, Taoist priest!"
As the village chief spoke, he took two salted fish from the side and placed them on top of the silver, then handed it over to the Demon Vanquishing Taoist priest.
"Eh!" Daoist Master Fu-Demon quickly put away the small bamboo drawer and handed back the two salted fish on top of the silver taels. "As a Daoist cultivator, my only goal is to help the world. I won't accept such a precious thing!"
"Everyone, now that the monster has been caught, it's up to you how you want to deal with it!" The Taoist priest hugged the silver in his arms tightly, turned his head, and said to the villagers.
"Kill it!" a villager roared angrily.
"Isn't it dead?" another old villager said.
"Kill it again!" another villager angrily pointed at the manta ray that was hung up.
"Revenge!" a bald villager roared angrily.
"I! Want! Report! Revenge! "among the villagers, the wife of the villager who was eaten by the monster also roared angrily.
"It's all a mistake, it's not the murderer!" Just as the villagers were roaring for revenge, a discordant voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
The villagers were stunned for a moment, then turned their heads and looked in the direction of the discordant voice, only to see a young man who did not belong to their village standing outside the crowd.
Seeing the villagers looking over, Chen Xuanzang slowly walked over, pointed at the manta ray, and said, "It's just a very ordinary sea fish, called a manta ray. It's docile and optimistic by nature, so it's a pretty good fish. It's a pity that it's a little too big."
"Who are you?" seeing the person who suddenly appeared, the village chief of the Water Hound Stronghold looked at Chen Xuanzang angrily and asked.
Upon hearing the village chief's words, Chen Xuanzang smiled, then turned around to look at the village chief, and said, "I'm an exorcist who hasn't finished his apprenticeship yet, Chen Xuanzang!!!"
