I am a monster in both worlds

Chapter 37 Spirit Officer
It was night and there was a ruined temple in the mountains.

Yi Baihu curled up and looked at the ape, waiting for him to tell the story of this ruined temple.

He would like to hear what kind of story happened in this temple, so that it can survive the summer solstice safely.

"Dragon, please listen to me slowly. This obscene priest once enshrined a great demon that eats people. This demon has shed its body, become a human body, and transformed into a human body. Such a demon can be transformed into a human body." Can you call it a great demon?"

The ape chuckled.

"Of course it deserves it."

Yibai approved.

Condensing the demon elixir can be said to be a climate, a great demon.

Not to mention changing form.

The tiger in Dayin Mountain is just the ultimate demon elixir, and it can stir up troubles in the whole place. It can be seen how powerful it is in its transformation.

"300 years ago, there was a great demon who transformed into this temple, but this demon loved to help people. He often served villagers from all over the country, and the villagers also trusted this demon."

"But the good times did not last long. On the day of the summer solstice 300 years ago, a spiritual official patrolled here. He noticed that the big monster had transformed into a monster, so he got rid of the monster. However, the big monster refused to obey and fought with it."

"Do you know what kind of god the Spirit Officer is?"

The ape's voice read this, paused suddenly, and asked.

"The Taoist sect's five hundred spiritual officials are patrolling the human world, how could I not know about it."

Yi Bai used to be a lover of mythology and was very familiar with spiritual officials.

The Taoist sect is known as the "Five Hundred Spiritual Officials". Legend has it that they were the five hundred tribesmen under Emperor Zhenwu who had the duty of inspecting the world, observing good and punishing evil.

Wang Lingguan, the head of the five hundred Lingguan, is a famous Taoist general. In many Taoist temples and Taoist temples, the first hall at the gate is Lingguan Hall. There is a rumor among the people that "if you don't go up the mountain, you must worship Wang Lingguan first." said.

Seeing this, the ape nodded and continued: "The transformed demon is unusual. The spirit officer will not be able to capture it for a while, and neither the heaven nor the earth can do anything to the demon. However, the battle between the great demon and the spirit officer will bring disaster. Villagers from ten miles away and eight villages are in ruins, fires are rising, and everything is devastated..."

The ape was thinking about it and suddenly fell silent.

In just two or three words, Yi Bai sketched out a picture of "gods fighting and mortals suffering".

"and then?"

Yi Bai asked.

"Then...then the spirit officer insisted on killing the big demon, but the big demon stopped fighting. He asked the spirit officer in grief and anger, if there are evil gods, why can't demons have good demons? The spirit officer didn't believe it. If the big demon doesn't resist, he will die. Before the spiritual official."

"After slaying the demon, the spirit officer saw that people everywhere were devastated and the people were filled with resentment. He couldn't bear to see the villagers again."

The ape talked about it in a very complicated tone.

heard here.

Yi Bai's erect pupils flashed with surprise, and he was already making assumptions.

"You said that this temple can hide the summer solstice. Could it be related to the spiritual official?"

Yi Bai asked.

"Yes, according to legend, the spiritual official who killed demons in the past would come to this temple every year to think about the rights and wrongs of what he had done in the past. Therefore, other gods will not come here. Although this temple is ruined, it is secure."

The ape turned his back to Yi Bai, seeming very emotional.

"Then why aren't you worried that the spiritual official will come to this temple to kill us?"

"Don't worry, these are all hearsay. In fact, I hide here every year. There is no spiritual official, but the safety is really safe."

"really?"

"really!"

Yi Bai felt relieved when he saw that the ape was so serious.

After all, he still has an escape route to choose from, and he can still go to the Red Moon World to avoid the limelight.

"Monkey, how come you know this story in such detail?"

Yi Bai was curious.

He was a little confused.

"This matter is a long story. I have a demon friend who is a close friend of that big demon, so he knows more about it?"

The ape scratched his head and made a fuss.

Yi Bai was silent for a while.

Make friends out of thin air?

If he didn't mention this, maybe he would believe it, but if he mentioned this friend who was born out of nothing, how would he believe it?

Yi Bai stared straight at the ape with his erect pupils, trying to see through something.

No matter how you look at it.

This ape is a monster that is not much different from him in strength.

"Dragon, what do you think I'm doing?"

The ape was strange and confused. "nothing."

Yi Bai didn't say much.

But the doubts in his heart have not dissipated.

"Dragon, just stay in this temple with peace of mind. Nothing will happen."

The ape chuckled.

Yi Bai did not refuse and chose to hide in the temple. As long as he could hide, that was fine.

But he had a feeling in his heart that the identity of this ape was probably not simple.

It's not what it seems on the surface.

The ape communicated with Yi Bai again.

It was still dark at this time.

The ape walked into the temple and cleaned away some moss with his hands.

Seeing this, Yi Bai didn't ask any more questions.

The apes were minding their own business cleaning the dusty main hall.

a long time.

The ape stopped cleaning, suddenly raised his head, looked at Yi Bai, and asked: "Dragon, what do you think of this story about the obscene sacrifice?"

"No way!"

Yi Baihu curled up and shook his head.

He looked at the ape with his pupils, and thought of a way to solve the puzzle.

"What kind of evaluation is this?"

The ape stared at Yi Bai fiercely and asked aloud.

"This big demon is so stupid after all,"

Yi Bai said casually.

His erect pupils looked directly at the ape.

When the great demon was mentioned, there was no change in the ape's expression or behavior.

Yi Bai continued to speak and said: "You are stupid, this spiritual official is not a good god either."

When he mentioned the 'lingguan', the ape's expression obviously changed.

The changes are subtle.

But Yi Bai saw it.

He suddenly knew what was going on.

This person, afraid that the spiritual official was coming in person, pretended to be a monster and was chatting with him.

When he thought that the ape next to him was transformed by a god, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

"The spiritual officer in the story is just removing dirt and wanting to protect more villagers. How can he be considered an evil god?"

The ape asked, scratching his ears and cheeks.

"He kills demons indiscriminately. How can he be called a good god if he is so arbitrary?"

Yi Bai was panicking inside, but on the outside he was calm and asked a question.

He had it all figured out.

This story was personally experienced by the spiritual official. The spiritual official regretted killing demons in the past and was a little confused as to whether there were good demons and good demons among demons.

I saw him escorting Huang Xu to the next county outside Jiangshui County, and saw his pure evil spirit, so I didn't kill him and pretended to be a monster, hoping to have a conversation with him and resolve the confusion in my heart.

Yi Bai knew that the ape would probably not hurt him, but knowing that he was surrounded by gods, he still couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"The official Ling was wrong, but his starting point is still for the good of the villagers."

The ape still doesn't seem to understand.

"Are you a demon or a god? Why are you still speaking for the spiritual officer?"

Yi Bai had no intention of breaking the news.

Since the ape didn't want to say anything, he just hid it.

Anyway, after today, the spiritual officer will leave, so there is no need to hate him.

"Of course it's a demon."

The ape chuckled and said...
