Chapter 223 Restraint
“Squeak!”
Just as Zhou Zhu was about to take a closer look, he saw a ball of black light condensing above the statue, and it made a squeaking sound like a monkey, which was very strange.
"The Black God will appear!"
The villagers bowed down in reverence, burned incense and prayed.
Surrounded by the crowd, an old man wearing colorful feathered clothes, who looked like a temple keeper, suddenly began to tremble all over, foaming at the mouth, and having epileptic seizures.
'not good!'
When Zhou Zhu saw this scene, he instinctively felt that something was wrong. Just as he turned around, he heard the temple priest shouting, "The Black God said that this man is an evil person. Capture him!"
He pointed his finger and it turned out to be Zhou Zhu!
At this time, even Old Sun, who had been smiling a little just now, had a strange expression on his face.
The reason is simple.
Even if he didn't believe in the Black God, he couldn't cut himself off from the villagers.
"Catch him!"
"Grandpa Black God wants his blood sacrifice."
The villagers' expressions suddenly became distorted, and they picked up the farm tools at hand and rushed over.
'Damn it!'
"These fools wish they could be struck to death by lightning!"
Zhou Zhu's teeth were almost broken.
He practices Taoism and is not afraid of a few ordinary people.
But after all, we are just mortals and not extraordinary, so it is still very dangerous to be trapped.
Moreover, Zhou Zhu did not dare to start a massacre and offend the dragon.
The Taoist who practices strange arts with incense is so miserable!
At this moment, he really ran away in panic, taking the opportunity to throw out a few yellow paper talismans and chanting: "Hurry!"
Several paper figures fell to the ground and turned into golden-armored gods, scaring the villagers so much that they stopped moving.
"Fake, follow me!"
The old temple keeper shouted loudly and passed directly through the chest of the golden-armored general.
This is just a sleight of hand, a minor trick that can't even hide it from him.
"It's indeed a demon. Chase him... and catch him in the manure pit!"
The villagers were completely furious.
But Zhou Zhu seized the opportunity and ran far away, hiding in a forest. "It's a close call... Otherwise, I don't know how today would end... Damn it, if the demons only knew how to slaughter humans, it would be easy to deal with. Now they are bewitching humans. As a wing, do I suggest that King Jin kill them all?"
This is not impossible, but it will cause some backlash and give you a bad reputation, at least Zhou Zhu himself doesn't want to bear that burden.
At this moment, the shadows of the trees around swayed and a strange atmosphere enveloped the area.
The shadow of the ancient tree loomed down, twisting and changing like a pair of dry arms.
'This feeling... is not the incense monster mentioned in the classics, but... a stronger monster!'
Zhou Zhu's face turned serious, he waved his sleeves, and a fireball flew out.
Boom!
Wherever the flames passed, they cleared away the evil aura and restored the surrounding scenery to normal.
The sky is still the same sky, the earth is still the same earth, and the ancient trees in the forest have not changed at all.
There was a black horse monkey clinging to a branch, staring at Zhou Zhu with its eyes fixed on him: "Taoist... Kill!"
There were flashes of colorful colors in its eyes, and its words were incoherent, with a sense of madness and confusion.
Suddenly he roared and rushed over.
"Huh? It feels a bit like incense again... This monster is very strange!"
Zhou Zhu had an idea and took out a token.
This was given by King Jin, and it has dragon energy on it!
Suddenly, a dragon roar was heard in the void
The monkey let out a strange cry and fell from the tree. Its whole body twitched continuously and there were alternating black, red and various colors of light.
"Haha...you stupid monster!"
Seeing this, Zhou Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and laughed loudly: "You don't practice the right way, but come to practice my way of incense and fire. You are putting the cart before the horse!"
The demon race’s righteous path comes from the white ape.
The white ape's alchemy book was stolen from Fang Xiandao, so Zhou Zhu felt that it was pointing directly to the way to become an immortal.
This monkey demon obviously has a heritage, but he insists on learning from the gods and collecting faith and incense. Isn't that like giving up watermelons for sesame seeds?
After all, the way of incense has a very low upper limit.
"Haha... you know... this incense and vows are poisonous to the flesh, extremely poisonous! That's why no Taoist has ever been able to cultivate to the pinnacle, with both body and soul in perfect condition... and once you enter this path, you will be restrained by the dragon energy. What a stupid monster!"
Zhou Zhu took a step forward, ready to kill the monster.
He also got an opportunity on the Dengxian Mountain before - it was a black bead.
After he tested it, he found that this pearl actually had the miraculous effect of transforming inspiration!
Although it is only a little bit every day, for those who practice cultivation, it is like a blessing after a long drought.
I don’t know why, but the closer to Zhengyang Prefecture, the better the effect.
At this moment, the spiritual vibrated, and he realized that if he killed this monster, the spiritual energy he could obtain would be extremely abundant, which might allow him to break through his current realm of Taoism.
Moreover, it is natural for humans to kill monsters.
Zhou Zhuo didn't need any psychological preparation before he killed the monkey. A dagger appeared in his hand and he stabbed it hard into the monkey's heart.
But at this moment, the black horse monkey that was rolling and wailing on the ground, the colorful light on its body quickly faded, a fierce light flashed in its eyes, and it let out a strange cry, and the hair on its body stood up, like a layer of black armor.
puff!
The dagger broke through the black hair and pierced into the flesh with difficulty, bringing out a little blood.
But that was it. The black macaque quickly retreated and disappeared into the dense forest. Only a resentful voice could be heard: "Human... I will remember you."
"What's going on? Why has this monster suddenly become so powerful?"
Zhou Zhu was stunned and felt his scalp tingling. Suddenly, he saw the token in his hand and understood.
'The monkey demon before was greedy for Shintoism and collected the power of incense and wishes. In fact, it was already half crazy, so it was very easy to deal with... But I took out the token given by the prince and broke its Shinto power... If it were a Taoist or an ordinary god, it would naturally have no power to resist, but this monster is different. It has also cultivated other magical powers. Breaking the incense actually allowed it to break free from its previous chaotic state and regain some clarity? '
When this thought comes to mind, it is filled with great hatred.
There was no way at this time. I wanted to chase it, but the monkey demon flew away as soon as it climbed up the tree and disappeared without a trace.
He could only turn back unwillingly: "This place is dangerous, we must leave quickly... If the monkey demon finds a few more helpers, I will most likely die here... If the white ape demon saint attacks, I will definitely die!"
Zhou Zhu turned around and left without thinking.
He possessed such a precious treasure as the Spirit Pearl, and finally had a glimmer of hope for the great road, so naturally he was reluctant to die.
Not only was he reluctant to die, he also wanted to study the effects of this treasure.
"This treasure... seems to be very active within the Zhengyang Prefecture, and the amount of spiritual energy it provides every day has increased by 50% to 60%... What exactly is it transforming?"
Zhou Zhu ran quickly while taking out the spirit pearl to replenish his vitality.
Suddenly, he seemed to see a shadow of an eye appear inside the spirit pearl, but it disappeared in an instant.
When I looked again carefully, I found nothing, and I almost thought it was an illusion.
"This thing...I'm afraid it's Taoist Master Fang Xian's bait..."
Zhou Zhu felt a chill in his heart, but then a fierce look appeared on his face: "In order to achieve enlightenment, even if it's just bait, I'll take it!"
