"that's all?"
The dim moonlight passed through the fallen branches and leaves, falling on the tiger-striped back. The man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, raised his hand to grab the swaying branch, and pulled it hard. Half of the huge tree trunk was pulled up with a "whoosh", swept through the air, and swung out a big circle. The next moment, he suddenly let go, and half of the tree trunk flew out with a whistling sound.
Sun Yingxian stroked the sparse tuft of beard on his chin, lifted the hem of his robe, raised his leg and kicked out, hitting the broken tree trunk right in the middle. With a loud bang, a shoe print was left. The giant tree seemed to pause in mid-air, then flew backwards with a whistling sound and smashed into the woods. The trunk rolled and fell, and the branches and leaves flew in chaos. Amidst the flying leaves, the Toad Taoist who was walking halfway on the road nodded slightly with his webbed feet.
"Not only is he tough, he's also quite strong. He has a great physique... Come on!"
The toad raised its webbed head and curled it, its eyes glowing red. "Come, fight with me."
The night wind blew, and the fallen leaves flew everywhere. The burly figure over there bent his upper body and twisted his neck to slowly walk out. I don't know if he heard the words spoken by the short figure on the ground in front of him, but he just grinned and spat a mouthful of bloody saliva on the ground, "Can't lose... The things must be taken back..."
As he thought about it, he suddenly rushed out, and the ground shattered under his feet.
The Toad Taoist smiled, and he raised his frog web and flicked it backwards. Just as he was about to fan it out, a figure rushing towards him like a cannonball passed by and pounced on Sun Yingxian behind him. The man pounced on him and landed a few punches. His body flew backwards again, maintaining a parrying posture, and his feet landed on the ground, sliding out of the ditch.
"How dare you ignore me?!"
After arriving in this place, he finally found someone to stretch his muscles, but he was ignored. Toad Eyes was filled with anger. At this moment, the man whose arms were beaten red by the Taoist's palms heard a different sound of wind whistling in his ears. He turned his head subconsciously, and in his side vision, a silhouette suddenly appeared in the air, which made him stunned.
"donkey?"
The next second, a donkey's hoof instantly enlarged in front of his eyes and kicked on the side of his head with a bang. The blue-white electric light that bounced out flashed, illuminating an old donkey with its hind legs raised.
“… Such a strong force.”
The man's head was buzzing. He shook his head vigorously and raised his thumb. His vision suddenly went black and he fell to the ground with a bang. There were electric lights on his body and his limbs twitched and bounced from time to time.
Ah, ah, ah~~
The old donkey jumped back and forth with its hooves raised, swishing its bald tail, and neighing at the Taoist and the toad, as if to signal to them that it was just a matter of one hoof and there was no point in going through so much trouble.
"Get away from me, you evil beast!"
The toad used its webbed feet to pry open the old donkey's mouth and nose, walked angrily towards the unconscious man, raised its webbed feet and kicked back and forth, "Get up, you haven't fought with me yet, get up..."
"Old Toad, if you kick me again I'll die." Sun Yingxian was so scared when he saw him kicking back and forth that he hurried over to dissuade him. How could he not know what the Toad Taoist was capable of? Even ordinary cultivators could not withstand his kicking style.
"Let him die. You can just kill him at will. Why don't you keep him alive for the New Year?"
The old donkey chewing a handful of grass turned his head and the toad spat at him: "I'm not talking about you."
puff!
The old donkey let out a deep breath, held his head high, wagged his tail, and walked arrogantly over to the half-broken tree to gnaw on the leaves.
“Two!”
Suddenly, a voice was heard in the air. Old Sun thought it sounded familiar. He turned around and saw a tall and agile figure falling from the sky and crashing to the ground with a bang, stirring up a circle of dust. A young man named Xia Yi stood up from the ground, half squatting. He walked through the dense smoke and dust, glanced at the figure on the ground, was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips, and bowed to them like the ancients.
"I have a request of mine. I wonder if you two could hand over this person on the ground to me."
Xia Yi went over and squatted, turned the man's face around, looked at the blood flowing from the side of his head, took out a handkerchief and covered it for him. The Taoist priest next to him watched his movements and roughly guessed something.
"Your relatives?"
"Well, but I haven't seen him for many years. I only knew that he went abroad... I didn't expect to see him under such circumstances." Xia Yi covered his wound with a handkerchief, looked at the palm print on the man's chest, and smiled at the Taoist.
"He is my cousin. His original name was Wang Ruhu. We grew up together wearing open-crotch pants. But later I got into trouble and went to jail. He came to visit me once, but never again. After I was released from jail, I learned that he had been abroad for many years and had lost contact with his family. I didn't even know if he was still alive out there."
"Looking at what he did, he didn't do anything bad outside." The Taoist touched his chin. The man in front of him, Xia Yi, was a pretty good person and had some skills. He was the first person he made friends with after he got out. Why not do him a favor? He pondered for a moment and waved his hand, "Forget it, you take him and the people over there away, but there is one thing, today's memory must be erased."
“That’s what should be done.”
Xia Yi held the unconscious man in his arms and approached the Taoist priest: "I hope that the Taoist priest can erase all his memories, so that he will not remember what he is doing now, and start over again."
"He is lucky to have a cousin like you."
The Taoist priest spoke seriously for once, and took out a talisman and put it on the forehead of Wang Ruhu, "Fortunately, the great scholar Lu is not here this time. If he were, even if your cousin was saved by you, you would have to use all your skills to atone for his sins. However, he would have been in great trouble after being hit by a few palms from me."
As he spoke, his hands did not slow down either. He pinched the magic formula and tapped the man's brow, which then circled around and drew out a wisp of light blue smoke that swirled into the talisman.
Then he tore it off and threw it into the air, where it burst into flames and burned to ashes.
"The method I used to eliminate karma may not be thorough enough, but if you want to recover, it will be difficult unless you meet someone like Mr. Lu."
As the conversation went on, the toad half-closed its eyes and looked at the Taoist who was talking to the other party. It snorted, put on its flippers and turned to leave. When it heard the mention of "Scholar Lu" in the conversation, it remembered what its disciple was doing now.
… I haven’t managed to grab any limelight yet, maybe I can try my luck if I go in, but it’s too bad for my health to hold it in all the time.
Hmm... It seems my luck is not that good.
The lonely, short figure walked towards the huge, pitch-black cave entrance, and extended inside, passing through the dim light of the cave. The scholar who was picked up sipped tea and stroked the red fox curled up on his legs. He went from being interested to gradually becoming bored.
In the light of the fire, more than a dozen people were kneeling and bowing. The ceremony was complicated and lengthy, and Lu Liangsheng yawned several times while watching it. How about giving them a hand
As she was thinking, she heard some movement on her legs. Yanzhi, who was lying on the ground sleeping, suddenly moved her ears and slowly opened her eyes. She saw that she was lying on the scholar's legs. She jumped up quickly, squatted on the ground, swept her tail and lowered her head.
"Rouge disturbed sir."
"I don't have the tricks of those gods, don't be nervous." Lu Liangsheng also conjured up a chair for her and pointed to a group of Japanese people kneeling over there. "You have been here for a long time, so you can tell which god they are kneeling to. Listen to the shouts, it's called Yamata Enrochi."
Yanzhi jumped onto the chair, perhaps still a little weak, and lay down with her front legs crossed, resting her head on her palms. She looked at the huge rock over there that was wrapped with a circle of hemp ropes and talismans, and thought for a while.
"Sir, I seem to have this name in my memory... Let me think about it... Hmm... It seems to be a snake monster with eight heads and eight tails, quite large, like a small mountain..."
Having said that, Yanzhi couldn't help but smile. Of course, no smile could be seen on Fox's face at this time.
"I just arrived here. I have read some legends about gods and monsters on this Japanese island, but I have never encountered one. Even if I did, they were just some small monsters, and I ate them all... I surrendered them on behalf of the people here."
Knowing what she meant by "eat", Lu Liangsheng did not point it out, but the eight heads and eight tails were somewhat interested, "If so, I wonder who is stronger, Xiangliu or Jiuying? Kunwu seems to have many heads too..."
"Why not give it a try?"
