The next day, when the sky was just beginning to brighten, the sound of footsteps could be heard from outside.
Many guests had already woken up. It was a new day, and they were either rushing or busy. After having breakfast in the inn, they went their separate ways.
Li Yue also left. His goal was very clear, which was to go to the small village at the beginning of the plot and wait for Chen Xuanzang's arrival.
After all, since Miss Duan had appeared, Chen Xuanzang would not be far away.
As for Miss Duan, he did not pay attention to her. After all, now was not a good time. Moreover, Miss Duan's origin was mysterious, and in Li Yue's mind, she was not a perfect target to be used.
Only Chen Xuanzang, the absolute protagonist of the Journey to the West, the carefully arranged chess piece of the Buddhist Sect, was the best candidate.
As long as he followed Chen Xuanzang's steps, everything would unfold bit by bit.
Li Yue wanted to obtain more of the Origin for future use. Destroying the Buddhist Pilgrimage to the West was the first step. The second step was to completely destroy everything in this world.
"The Origin Energy is very important. It's always good to have more. Moreover, I have a feeling that something is going to happen!"
Ever since he became a four-dimensional immortal, this feeling would sometimes suddenly arise. Li Yue did not know if this was a kind of launch of the timeline or if he was overthinking, but in the past, it was better to be careful just in case.
"System, have you found the location of the village?"
"Found it. The Fish Dragon Village has been fishing for a living for generations. The village has been established for hundreds of years, and its location is dozens of miles southeast. Currently, the Fish Dragon Village is looking for an exorcist with a large sum of money, hoping that an exorcist can kill the monster in the village's lake! "
"Has it already started?"
Li Yue raised his eyebrows and immediately looked at the direction. He walked to the entrance of a deserted alley and disappeared in a flash.
In a few flashes, Li Yue passed through many mountains and rivers. Then, he saw a small village in the distance.
The location of this village was not bad. It was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the roads were normal. Moreover, there was a small town not far away. The villagers could sell the fish they caught in the town to make a living.
Li Yue stopped on a yellow muddy road. There were weeds and wildflowers on both sides of the road, but because of the hot weather, they were dry and hard.
The path was also very smooth. Other than some hoof prints and footprints, there weren't too many potholes. He walked along this path. After about the time it took for an incense stick to burn, he finally arrived at the Fish Dragon Stockade.
This was a village built on a lake. There were mountains on both sides of the lake, and the scenery was very good. It was very comfortable to live here for a long time. Of course, life still had to go on. As the saying goes, those who rely on the mountain live off the mountain, and those who rely on the river live off the water. The villagers chose to build their village here because of the unique geographical environment.
Relying on the large lake near the village, they made a living by fishing for a long time. Then, they would send the fish to a town not far away to sell, so they didn't starve to death. Although their lives were a little simple and poor, they had enough to eat and wear and were peaceful.
It was a pity that this peace had been destroyed recently.
No one knew when a demon had appeared in the large lake near the village. Then, one after another, the fishermen were eaten by the demon. There was no other way. In their panic, the villagers of the Fish Dragon Stockade could only spend a lot of money to post notices and invite a powerful exorcist, hoping to subdue this harmful demon.
At this moment, when Li Yue arrived, he saw a group of people welcoming a Taoist priest.
"Taoist priest, can you really exorcise this demon?"
"Hey? What are you talking about? Exorcising demons is my duty. It's just a fish demon. Isn't it a piece of cake for me? " The Taoist priest looked to be middle-aged. He was dressed in fancy clothes and hung all kinds of things on his body. There were talismans, compasses, wooden swords, jade pendants …
In any case, Li Yue couldn't bear to look at him directly. This was too amateur, wasn't it? Moreover, the exaggerated tone of his voice was a blatant display of shamelessness.
It burned his eyes.
Li Yue shook his head. However, to the villagers of the village, this attire really scared them. They surrounded the Taoist priest and talked about him, fighting to be the first to praise him. "Taoist priest looks like a capable person."
"Stop. Everyone, be quiet and listen to me!"
The Taoist priest waved his hand and waited for the crowd to quiet down before saying, "Everyone, don't panic. Just wait here. Wait for this Taoist priest to kill this demon. Watch how this Taoist priest exorcises demons!"
As he spoke, he boarded a small boat that had been prepared by the lake. Then, with a gentle wave of his hand, the surface of the water rolled and the small boat swayed toward the lake.
This move immediately made the villagers believe that this Taoist priest was really capable.
"Interesting!"
Li Yue smiled. This Taoist priest's method of making the boat move with a wave of his hand was indeed interesting. In his eyes, this fake Taoist priest secretly threw a small thing into the water the moment he boarded the boat. That small thing sank into the water and exploded about three seconds later, causing the water to roll. Then, the boat moved forward along the undulating waves.
"It's all a trick!"
In the lake, the small boat drifted with the waves and slowly moved away from the shore.
The Taoist priest stood on the boat with an incense burner in front of him. He waved the peach wood sword in his hand and muttered to the lake.
His expression looked serious and serious. The more he muttered, the more anxious he became.
However, Li Yue stood in the distance and didn't notice any energy fluctuations at all. It was completely a bluff.
"Ha!"
Suddenly, the Taoist priest pointed with his wooden sword and threw a ball-shaped thing covered with talismans into the water.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, a huge wave rose up from the lake. Then, a huge ancient fish that was riddled with wounds floated up to the surface. The fish's belly was turned over, and it looked as if it couldn't be more dead.
In fact, if one looked carefully, one would be able to see that the huge ancient fish's belly was white. There were no traces of blood on the wound on the belly. Most importantly, the wounds were in the shape of a knife. It didn't look like it was killed by an explosion.
He didn't know what method this guy had used to hide this ancient fish that had been dead for god knows how long in the water, and then brought it up again at this moment.
However, the villagers didn't know about this. They thought that the Taoist priest had used some kind of magic.
Moreover, when they saw such a huge fish, they instinctively thought that it was a monster. Moreover, the Taoist priest was a man with real abilities. The monster had already been killed by him.
Amidst the villagers' cheers, the Taoist priest came to the shore in high spirits and said to the villagers, "Everyone, I have eliminated the fish monster. Now, this place is completely safe!"
