Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 60 Dahu Village Water Demon

Li Xiuyuan immediately became curious when he saw the strange behavior of this young beggar.

Not only curious about his behavior, but also curious about the bronze mirror in his hand.

"Little brother, what are you looking for with the bronze mirror? If you tell me, maybe I can help you with this." He said.

The beggar boy was pleasantly surprised and said, "Really, are you really willing to help me?"

"Of course, I'm willing to help you as long as I can." Li Xiuyuan nodded.

"That's great." The beggar boy suddenly became excited: "No one in the village is willing to help me, they all think I'm crazy, but I know I'm not crazy, as long as I can find out what the priest said people, the village will be saved.”

"Ok?"

Li Xiuyuan's expression changed slightly immediately; "There is a priest asking you to find someone? Who are you looking for?"

The young beggar picked up the bronze mirror and said: "Whoever looks at this bronze mirror, if there are three figures, it is the person the Taoist priest is looking for."

"Only one figure can appear in the bronze mirror, how could there be three figures." Li Xiuyuan felt a little ridiculous.

"But that's what the Taoist priest said." The beggar boy said with some loss.

Li Xiuyuan said, "Can you show me the mirror?"

"I can only show you for a short while, so don't lose it." The beggar boy reluctantly handed out the bronze mirror.

After Li Xiuyuan took it, he felt that the bronze mirror was cool and slightly sinking, which seemed to be different from ordinary bronze mirrors. He picked up the bronze mirror again and looked at himself. There was no doubt that there was no reflection of himself on it.

"Tieshan, come here."

"Yes, young master." Tieshan walked over.

Li Xiuyuan took a bronze mirror to look at him, and the reflection of Iron Mountain appeared in the bronze mirror immediately, but there was only one shadow, not to mention three shadows, not even two shadows appeared.

After pondering for a while, he handed the bronze mirror to the young beggar, and asked, "Why did the priest ask you to find someone who can cast three shadows?"

"The Taoist priest said that only people with three shadows can kill the monster in the lake in front of our village." The beggar boy mentioned the monster with both fear and hatred in his eyes.

"That village over there is haunted by monsters?" Li Xiuyuan pointed to a village not far away.

He could vaguely see that there was a relatively large lake near the village.

"Yes, there is a very ferocious monster in the lake. It has eaten many people. My second uncle was eaten when he was swimming, my father was also eaten when he was fishing, and my mother was also eaten when she was washing clothes by the lake. Yes. My four-year-old sister went to fight monsters with a bamboo pole and was eaten."

When the beggar boy said this, he stood there and began to cry, wiping his tears while crying.

A four-year-old girl, hearing that her parents were eaten by monsters, went to the lake with a bamboo pole to fight monsters?
Li Xiuyuan fell silent when he heard the words.

"My family is dead, I want revenge, I want to kill that monster, so I went to a nearby temple, prayed to the gods and worshiped Buddha, hoping that the gods would open their eyes and accept the monster, but no gods paid attention to me."

The beggar boy cried and said: "Later, I met an old Taoist priest, and I begged the old Taoist priest to help me kill the monster, but the old Taoist priest said that he was too old to defeat the monster, so he gave me this face." Bronze mirror, I want to find someone who can reflect three figures, only when I find such a person can I deal with that monster."

"Tell me, the Taoist priest won't lie to me, right?" Suddenly, the beggar boy grabbed Li Xiuyuan with tears and asked.

"People in the village say that the Taoist priest is deceiving people. Tell me, is the Taoist priest lying to me?"

Li Xiuyuan said seriously: "The Taoist priest didn't lie to you, what he said is true, as long as you find a person with three shadows, you can get rid of the monster for you, but the Taoist priest hasn't said yet, this person with three shadows can get rid of the monster, People without shadows can also eliminate demons."

"Really?" The beggar boy looked at him blankly.

"Of course it's true. Look, I can't see a shadow on it." Li Xiuyuan looked at the mirror again. There was nothing on the bronze mirror, and there was no shadow of him at all.

Focusing on this point, he believed that the old Taoist priest did not lie to the little beggar. Maybe the old Taoist priest really did not have enough morals and mana to deal with this monster, so he could only help him and gave this bronze mirror to him. This young man, let him find capable and virtuous help.

"Please, I beg you, you help me kill that monster, as long as I can kill that monster, I can do whatever you want."

The beggar boy immediately knelt on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed wildly on the dirt road.

"What are you doing?" Li Xiuyuan's expression changed, and he hurriedly helped him up; "You don't need to kowtow, I promise you to help you get rid of that monster, get up, get up quickly."

"Thank you benefactor, thank you benefactor." The beggar boy wiped his tears and cried.

Li Xiuyuan immediately waved his hand and said, "Everyone follow me to the village ahead."

"Yes, young master." The guards under his command immediately took action.

But at this time, Tieshan came over again and said in a low voice; "Master, if there are monsters in this village, how can we get rid of them? The master's master is not in Xiahe Village anymore, and there is no way around here. Those who don't go to the store can't find eminent monks or Taoist priests."

"I can't care about that much anymore. Go to the village first and have a look. I can always find a way. This monster is domineering in the village and cannibalizing countless people. If I don't get rid of it, I won't be at ease." Li Xiuyuan frowned deeply. I frowned.

"But what about the master? I'm afraid it will be delayed for a while." Tieshan said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It doesn't matter. My father is not enduring hardships in Wangchuan Mountain. He is recuperating from his injuries. With Wu Fei and Han Meng taking care of them, nothing will happen. Don't try to persuade me anymore. I will definitely destroy this demon today."

After speaking, he waved his hand.

The convoy moved on.

The young beggar sat on a bright carriage, followed Li Xiuyuan and the others and drove slowly towards the village.

Great Lakes Village!
Before entering the village, I saw a stone tablet with some years standing beside the village road.

As the convoy gradually approached, many villagers in the village were already standing in the field, looking around curiously.

"Where is the convoy coming from? It's so imposing. Look at those horses, and there are people. They are all tall and big. They can't be some kind of wedding team. There are boxes on the carriages."

"Nonsense, which village still has a girl with a yellow flower, and some have married long ago."

"Look, isn't that the orphan of Lao Gan's family, the little pole? Why is he sitting in the car?"

"I don't know, maybe it's a former relative of Lao Gan's family."

The villagers working in the fields started talking about it.

Li Xiuyuan led the team to Dahu Village soon.

As soon as he entered the village, he could see the sparkling, calm and clear lake in front of the village.

However, white spirit-calling streamers were planted near the lake, as well as various sacrificial offerings, and all kinds of paper money and paper ashes that had not been blown away. It seemed that in this calm lake, as the beggar boy said, it was really Many people died.

Not only his parents, second uncle, younger sister, other families in the village may also have dead people.

Nine out of ten things about the demons are true.

"Where is your home?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

The young beggar was named Gan, and the village called him Xiaoganzi because he was thin and weak.

The little pole quickly pointed to a hut not far from the lake and said, "That's my home."

After Li Xiuyuan walked over, he saw that the thatched hut had not been taken care of for a long time. Pit, not yet dry.

"You live in this kind of place?"

He went in and took a look, only to find that the room was damp and damp, moldy in the corners, green mold covered the walls, with a pungent smell.

"Well, I live in that room." The little pole pointed to the room inside.
