Spirits and demons

It was a hot day, the blazing sun baking the earth, making the distant scenery bent. If not necessary, no one would want to rush in such weather.

However, at this time, there is a young girl who is traveling as a "traveler", on the road. A simple dress, can not hide her extraordinary identity - after all, it would not be ordinary people, who will carry a huge scroll out, right. The item that only a Taoist practitioner can hold at first glance, no matter how it was obtained, means that this girl is not simple.

Even people who are not knowledgeable about scrolls can see this at a glance, after all, the mount she rode was neither a horse nor a cow, but a big dog. The dog is about the size of a leopard, if you let a strong male ride is estimated to be difficult, but the girl is a perfect match.

The girl used the back of her hand to wipe the sweat seeping out of her forehead, and said: "Khung, why don't you just swallow the sun too!

The big dog, whom the girl called "Khung" but who had the appearance of a "ferocious beast", seemed to be used to such conversations and simply responded, "Don't be so fanciful, Akira. "

MingDiun fell headlong into XiaoKong's fleece and yelled poutingly, "But it's too hot, I can't stand it!

"Who told you to rush when the sun is blazing?"

Ming Diao buried his face in Xiaokong's back, stretched out a hand, and said, "I regret it, is there any medicine?" As a result, he also sat up straight all of a sudden because he couldn't hold it in.

Xiao Hong sighed helplessly and said, "There is no medicine for regret, let's see if there is a place to rest nearby."

Saying that Xiaokong stepped on the invisible ladder and climbed to mid-air, looking down at the surroundings.

"There is a river over there, go over there to rest and cool off."

"Yes, we can play in the water!"

Mindanao was so excited that he wanted to jump up, but he was stopped by XiaoKong, who noticed it in advance. The little air carried MingDiun straight towards the river and landed steadily at the river's edge, but scared the villagers who came to the river for water. The villagers were overwhelmed by the giant dog falling from the sky, but it was only with a skilled explanation that the villagers were convinced that Khung was not a man-eating monster.

As Khung rested under the shade of a tree, Mingdian helped the villagers fetch water and soon became friends with them, especially with the young boy, Xiao Yong. With Khung's help, they saved a lot of energy on the way back to the village, so they all laughed and talked, and Isamu introduced the village to him, and he told Isamu stories about his journey.

After walking for an unknown period, Ming Duan suddenly realized that something was wrong and asked Xiao Kong, "How long have we been walking?"

Khung replied coldly, "Almost an hour."

"Huh? You have to walk so far just to get water!" Ming Duan looked at the villagers in surprise and received an affirmative answer, "So there is no river or well near the village?"

The villager smiled helplessly and explained, "For some reason, all the water sources near our village have disappeared, so we had to walk a long way to fetch water."

"If it weren't for the village headman he ......" Xiao Yong suddenly came to this but was stopped by his parents with a look.

It seems that there is something inside.

The second half of the journey ended in silence, and Median and Xiaokong arrived at the village where Xiao Yong lived. The villagers were surprised by the appearance of the outsiders, but fortunately, Isamu's parents explained that there was not much commotion. After storing the water they had brought, the adults went to the center of the village for a prayer service. The children were used to this, and the prayer activity did not affect their ability to continue playing. Only Isamu stood alone in a place where he would not disturb the event and watched every move in the venue.

Under the leadership of the village chief, the villagers formed a circle, and what was surrounded in the center was a very old-looking book, and I don't know what was written on it that could get such devout treatment from the crowd.

Akira was forced to go and play with the children, but she was concerned about the words that Yong had not been able to say on the way to the village because his parents had stopped him, which must have been related to the prayer. So she came over to Isamu and asked, "What are they doing, your mom and dad?"

Isamu put on a disdainful expression and replied, "Praying that the village's water supply would be restored so that they wouldn't have to walk far to fetch water every day."

"So, is it effective?" The answer was self-explanatory, and Median, who had just asked the question, immediately knew the answer, "That book, is it that amazing?"

Xiao Yong shrugged and said, "I have never seen it anyway, but the village elders keep saying that the book was passed down from our ancestors for generations and that it can predict everything that will happen in the future, including the village's water shortage, which is also destined to happen."

Ming Diao asked curiously, "Did the book say how to solve this problem?"

"It is said that one day, a hero will appear to help us through this."

"But nothing has changed." Ming Diao turned his gaze to the villagers who were kneeling towards the ancient book, showing a compassionate look, "Since the result is unchanged, doesn't it mean that the method should be changed?"

Seemingly moved by the words of Ming Conti, Xiao Yong said to her, "Sister Ming Conti, can you do me a favor?"

"Yes. But what do you want me to do?"

"Just stand there!"

Before Mingdian could respond, she was dragged by Isamu and came to the prayer square.

"Village Chief, I have a solution to the village's lack of water!"

The village chief was not shaken by Isamu's sudden intrusion and seemed to be accustomed to this mischievous child. Just see the village chief slowly raise his head to look at Xiao Yong and said, "Xiao Yong, didn't I tell you that according to the ancient book, it is not our village that solves the water source problem."

"So, it is an outsider who is going to save us this time." Saying that Xiaoyong directed everyone's attention to Ming Cun.

She was completely at a loss for words, but remembering Xiao Yong's advice and her interest in the village, she cooperated and kept quiet.

The village chief looked up and down at the dumb-looking girl, then asked Isamu: "Can this girl save our village?"

"Although she looks like a dumb girl, she is no ordinary person!" Isamu excitedly introduced Akatsuki to the villagers as if she was showing off her idol, "I've already seen her when I was fetching water, and she has tamed a very docile canine demon. After talking to her just now, I realized that she is the famous 'Demon Demon Goddess'."

Ming Diao was shocked and thought, "Who are "Spirits and Demons"? But on the surface, he still pretended to be calm, calmly accepting the stares of astonishment and suspicion from all around.

"Spirits and demons? I've never heard of it ......"

The village chief did not wait to savor the name, Isamu continued: "Besides, she is an outsider, even if she fails, there will be no loss to the village."

The village chief reluctantly agreed with Isamu's words and agreed that Mingdian should be involved in the village's affairs. After a short rest in the village, she set out to solve the water problem, with Isamu as her guide.

Shortly after leaving the village, Isamu suddenly said to MingDi, "This is it, I'll take care of the rest."

It turned out that Xiao Yong had asked for Ming Diao's help only to deal with the village headman and the others, to get permission to go out, but not to ask Ming Diao to solve the water problem. It seems that besides being brave as his name implies, Isamu is also very flexible.

This made Mingdian determined to help this brave boy. She smiled and said to Isamu, "I'll go, too, or else I'll be the one who doesn't keep his word."

"Yes, you can, but don't hold me back."

"You dare to say that, kid!" I don't know what a 'demon hand' is."

Isamu laughed and said, "I just came up with a very powerful title to fool the village head."

"It still sounds weirdly handsome. Then I'll borrow it if necessary."

Ming Xuan and Xiao Yong rode on Xiao Kong's back and traveled upstream along the river. From the aerial view, they realized how serious the situation was: there was not even a drop of water in the river, and the creatures in the water had long since disappeared, leaving only a dry and cracked riverbed. Many villages established along the river have suffered, so according to the ancient book of the village chief said, this is the fate of their village will inevitably suffer, is simply nonsense, they are simply bad luck, caught up with the natural and man-made disasters.

Looking at the unbearable scenery, Xiao Yong made up his mind to help everyone solve the problem of the water supply; at the same time, he was secretly worried that this could be solved by his strength. At the same time, he was worried that he would not be able to solve the problem by himself.

With the help of XiaoKong's ability to step into the air, they soon arrived at the source of the water cut-off problem - a clump of mud that was blocking the flow of the river. But this was not just any mud, it was an original "thing" that, by chance, had developed a "spirit" and mutated into a "monster".

Little air landed on the ground and said: "The next is not a child's mud fight game, Xiao Yong stay here."

Hearing that he was excluded, Isamu was a bit resigned: "Why did you leave me behind? I'm not a coward, I'm not afraid of that mud monster!"

Ming Duan got down from Xiaokong's back and then carried Xiao Yong down, then said, "Xiao Yong, you are called 'brave' for coming forward in the village, willing to solve the water problem for the village people, and embarking on an adventurous journey. However, if you next cannot correctly understand your strength and rashly go to challenge an overly powerful opponent, that is called 'reckless'."

"But ......" Isamu gritted his teeth and tried to keep the tears from falling, "If even I retreat, won't our village never have water again?"

Mei Mei nodded approvingly, "Isamu, your heart is the proof of your 'bravery'. I'm not just any young girl, I'm a 'demon goblin' after all."

With that, Akira took off the scroll on his back and unfolded it. Then she opened her palm to cover it, and with a strange light, a mask was added to her hand. It looked like a face mask used in opera, and when she put the mask on her face, she looked like a new person, no longer the young girl she could play with.

Minggu handsomely rolled over and mounted XiaoKong, who roared to the sky and rushed straight to the mud monster.

The mud monster relied on the constant flow of river water and the sand in the riverbed to sustain its hard-won life. Its purpose is to "live", but this simple wish may lead to the destruction of thousands of people. Seeing someone is not good, the mud monster naturally will not sit still to die. It stretched out a mud hand and slapped heavily on the ground, immediately the ground sprouted countless bamboo shoot-like mud pillars, blocking the path of Khung's advance.

Little Air leaped up, avoiding the mud thorns, aiming at the mud monster's body, and jumped over. The mud monster rushed to meet the battle, it waved its mud hand, throwing out countless mud masses, these mud masses like arrows, flying towards the small air. If it were an ordinary person, he would have become a living target at this time, but Xiao Kong stepped on the invisible ladder, avoiding the mud rain, and kept closing the distance with the mud monster.

The mud monster faced the biggest crisis since its awakening, driven by survival instincts, it concentrated the mud it could use on its mud hand, forming an immense fist. Then, it threw a heavy punch at Khung, who was running toward it.

It seemed to work, and to defend against the fist, Khung had to stop and confront the fist hard. But just because Khung couldn't move forward didn't mean that Ming Diao couldn't.

Tangent leaped up from Koikong's back and landed on the mud monster's fist. The fist that was thrown to strike the intruder became the path for the intruder to travel. The muddy path led Ming Dong to the mud monster's eyes and he put a talisman on the mud monster's face. After a dazzling light erupted, the mud monster disappeared in the same place.

But the crisis did not end there. The presence of the Mud Monster had blocked the flow of the river, which Ming had forgotten. Once the mud monster disappeared, the river would flow smoothly again. In other words, it would be swept away! In the nick of time, XiaoKong came to MingDi, grabbed her by the back of her neck, just like a mother cat carrying her kitten, and brought her back to Xiaodong.

Having witnessed the battle just now, Xiao Yong was still a bit hesitant about whether the person in front of him was the Ming Cui he knew.

"Alas, I almost died."

After taking off her mask, she revealed her familiar and warm smile, as if she had just walked between life and death, but was just visiting her neighbor's house.

Xiao Kong drove Ming Duan and Xiao Yong back to the village. Xiao Yong reluctantly asked, "MingDiou sister, are you not going back to the village with me?"

Mingan said with a smile, "No, I don't need to. I only agreed to go on the adventure because I wanted to help you, Isamu. Now that I've finished my friend's request, it's time to say goodbye. I have to continue my journey."

"So, what exactly are you traveling for?"

"Probably just the day I find something, I'll understand. Farewell, brave Isamu."

"Good-bye, Akaguchi-san and Khung!" Isamu said loudly towards the fading figure, "I will pass on your story as a new legend of the village!"
