"We've never heard of a Manta Ray, but it does look a little like a Gushi Fish." The village chief shook his head when he heard Chen Xuanzang's words.
"By the way, village chief, although it's not a Gushi Fish, it's related to them. Look, don't its pectoral fins look like bat wings? That's why it's called a Manta Ray. "Chen Xuanzang pointed at the Manta Ray hanging in the air.
"But we've all seen Gushi Fish before. Even its relatives haven't seen one this big. The Taoist priest said that it's possessed by a demon!" The village chief pointed at Taoist Master Fu-Demon.
"Village chief, it's really not the demon you're looking for," Chen Xuanzang said earnestly.
Daoist Master Fu-Demon's expression had already changed when Chen Xuanzang had pointed out the Bat Ray Fish. When he heard the village chief mention him, Daoist Master Fu-Demon jumped in front of Chen Xuanzang for the sake of his silver. He pretended to look miserable and said, "A good father was killed by a demon, and the innocent victim's family is in so much pain that they want to die. How could you say such a thing?
"You bastard!" The village chief trusted Taoist Master Fu-Demon more, so he pointed at Chen Xuanzang and scolded him angrily.
"Bastard! Bastard! Bastard! … "The villagers beside him also looked at Chen Xuanzang and scolded him.
"Everyone, listen to me. The demon you're looking for hasn't appeared yet …"
"Shut up!"
Chen Xuanzang still wanted to use his eloquence to convince the villagers. Suddenly, a shrill shout came from the side. Then, the woman whose husband was killed by the demon walked over. She stared at Chen Xuanzang with her eyes wide open and tears streaming down her face. She pointed at Chen Xuanzang angrily and asked, "Have you ever had a husband die?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm a man. I don't have a husband." Chen Xuanzang turned around and said sympathetically.
"Have you ever had a husband die?" The village woman pointed at Chen Xuanzang again.
"Sister-in-law, believe me, I really don't have a husband …"
Slap! —
Before Chen Xuanzang could finish his words, the village woman fiercely slapped Chen Xuanzang's left cheek, and then slapped his right cheek.
Only Ye Xuan, who was in the crowd, saw Chen Xuanzang's body and hand move a little when the village woman was about to hit him. However, after moving a little, he abruptly stopped. It was as if he was really an ordinary person who didn't even have the strength to truss a chicken, allowing the village woman to slap him twice.
Ah!!! — —
Seeing the village woman make a move, the other old villagers also rushed over. One of them punched or kicked Chen Xuanzang, and the last one even picked up a wok and hit Chen Xuanzang's head, causing him to kneel on the ground.
"Kill him! Kill him! All the villagers shouted angrily.
"This fish is innocent. The monster is still in the water. Everyone, please don't go into the water!" Chen Xuanzang knelt on the ground and shouted at the villagers without giving up.
"What a load of lies! He's clearly an accomplice of the monster! Hang him up and burn him to death!" Even after seeing Chen Xuanzang, he still didn't give up. The Taoist priest walked over and shouted angrily.
"Burn him to death! Burn him to death! Burn him to death! … "When the villagers heard the Taoist priest's words, they also shouted loudly.
"Everyone, listen up. I've already killed this monster. It's absolutely safe here. Everyone can go into the water with peace of mind. Go! "The Taoist priest looked at the surrounding villagers and shouted.
When they heard the Taoist priest's words, the surrounding villagers suddenly quieted down. They looked at each other and no one dared to go into the water. After all, although these villagers didn't believe Chen Xuanzang's words, they were more or less afraid. No one wanted to go into the water to test it. After all, no one was unafraid of death.
"Since it's so safe, you can go and try!" A cold voice suddenly came from the crowd.
Attracted by the voice, everyone turned their heads and saw an elegant young man wearing a moon-white scholarly robe and holding a folding fan in his hand. No one knew when he had stood behind the crowd.
He looked at the young man's attire and then looked at his own tattered clothes. The villagers felt a little ashamed of themselves. Then, the young man slowly walked over. As he walked, the villagers automatically split up to make way for him.
"Young Master, you are …" Seeing Ye Xuan's attire, Ye Xuan's eyes widened. The village chief didn't dare to be as impudent as he was to Chen Xuanzang. He looked at Ye Xuan carefully.
"The guy who was going to be hung up is my disciple. Who do you think I am? "Ye Xuan looked at the village chief indifferently.
"Oh, so you are also the monster's accomplice. Everyone, arrest him!" The Taoist priest shouted at the villagers when he heard Ye Xuan's words.
"Courting death!" Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows when he saw the Taoist priest pointing at him and shouting. He had long disliked this shifty-eyed guy. His figure flashed and appeared beside the Taoist priest. Then, he stretched out his right leg and gently kicked the Taoist priest's butt.
Bam! — —
With a dull thud, water splashed, and the Taoist priest was kicked into the water.
When the ordinary villagers saw Ye Xuan kick the Taoist priest into the water with one kick, they were all taken aback and retreated one after another.
"Ah! — — Help, help! — — "
After the Taoist priest fell into the water, he was so scared that he almost peed his pants. He screamed in the water in panic.
After kicking the Taoist priest into the water, Ye Xuan looked at Chen Xuanzang, whose hands were tied, and said, "Xuanzang, come here!"
Seeing that Ye Xuan was calling for him, Chen Xuanzang looked at the surrounding villagers awkwardly. Two villagers circulated their True Qi, and with a snap, the rope that was as thick as a thumb in Chen Xuanzang's hands broke under the shocked gazes of the two villagers.
"Master!" Chen Xuanzang walked over and said with his head lowered in shame.
Ye Xuan looked at Chen Xuanzang, who was in a sorry state and had bruises all over his face. He frowned and said, "Why didn't you fight back just now?"
"Master, they are all ordinary people. I, I …" Chen Xuanzang lowered his head and stuttered.
"That's enough!" Seeing Chen Xuanzang's appearance, Ye Xuan shook his head. Although Chen Xuanzang did not say it out loud, Ye Xuan knew that Chen Xuanzang was afraid that he would hurt the ordinary people, so he did not fight back. He even deliberately controlled his True Qi. Otherwise, just the rebound of his True Qi would be enough to break the bones of the ordinary people who hit him.
"Hahaha, I'm fine, I'm fine. See, I already killed the monster. It's safe in the water now. That person is the monster's accomplice, so we can't let him go. Otherwise, he'll attract even more powerful monsters!" After struggling in the water for a while, the Taoist priest became arrogant again when he saw that he was fine.
"Safe?" Ye Xuan ignored his clamor. Instead, a sneer flashed across his face. He pointed at the lake not far away. "Look over there!"
"Ah! What a monster! — — "
