I didn't intend to be a Fairy

Although the land from the foot of Cangshan Mountain to the lake has a certain slope, it is almost negligible. The whole land is very flat. Except for a few fishing villages near the lake and some villages near the city, there are few houses and the occasional big tree. The scenery on the land is very beautiful, with few trees blocking the view.

You can see far at a glance.

A group of caravans came slowly and leisurely. Knowing that the area was haunted by demons, which might appear even during the day, they took off all the bells of the horses and mules to avoid making any noise.

The weather near the lake is changeable, and the clouds are floating very low, as if they are just a few feet above the head, and then move with the wind. Maybe they are still in direct sunlight one moment, and then they are in the shadows the next moment, and the light and shadow seem to There was a fierce battle between the land and the lake, and they were entangled.

"Remember everything. If you encounter a headless monster, don't panic or run away, otherwise life or death will be unpredictable. When he asks questions, if his head is still on his head, be sure to answer that it is still on his head."

This is not the first time that the business traveler has come here. He is very familiar with the headless monk who has been legendary for hundreds of years and has appeared in recent years, but he still can't help but warn him.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Just walking, I suddenly heard something moving in front of me.

Everyone became alert and immediately stopped, their eyes flickering and hesitantly, and they listened carefully.

"..."

Most of them were bang bang bang boom, sometimes like footsteps, and louder than the heavy cavalry's iron hooves trampling the ground. Sometimes they were like the sound of drums, but not as rhythmic as drums, and sometimes they were like the touch of gold and stone. The sound is deafening, sometimes like thunder, but it doesn't come from the sky.

"What's the noise?"

"Is there a monster?"

"It's the monster!"

Everyone lowered their voices and were in a panic.

Nowadays, the world is unsettled and there are more and more demons and ghosts. But now it is daytime and this is a business road. Most demons and ghosts still will not easily appear here and now. The only one who can is the government who has invited experts to dispatch guards. There is no way the army can do anything about the headless monk.

This headless monk can stop children from crying at night.

The person leading the team hunched over and looked around. The sun illuminated everything golden, and the meadows swayed in the wind. Then he looked above his head. Although the sun had moved westward, it was still dazzling.

There is a large dark cloud ahead.

I think the land ahead is shrouded in the shadow of clouds.

The stronger the sunlight, the darker the shadow.

"..."

The merchant leading the group was a little worried and murmured to himself: "I'm afraid someone in front of me has encountered that monster..."

At the same time, a bold young man in the team had already walked to the roadside, slowly climbed up an elm tree by the roadside, quietly poked his head and looked forward.

There are always dangers on the way to trade. This young man is brave and careful, and has good eyesight. Many times he has been able to avoid the bandits, monsters and evil people by finding detours. At this time, no one saw him climbing a tree. He tried to stop him, but everyone stared at him.

But the young man suddenly opened his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

The young man did not answer.

After a while, he quietly climbed down. With his eyes open in great surprise, he told everyone that the clouds in front blocked the sun. Sure enough, he saw a headless monk in the wasteland in front of him. He looked like the monk in the temple. The guardian deity is as tall and mighty as a sculpture, but has no head. However, what is even more frightening is that there are two other stone giants more than ten feet tall and vaguely golden, fighting with the headless monk in the wasteland. The fight was very fierce, and the scene was extremely spectacular. The grass and trees in the forest were smashed, which shocked and scared him.

Everyone was surprised when they heard this. Some imitated the young man's example and quietly climbed up to take a look. Others were horrified when they came down. Some were extremely curious, but could not climb up or did not dare to take a look.

"Stone giant? Is he a mountain god?"

"It's golden, I'm afraid it's a god."

"It could also be that the Arhat from the Western Heaven descends to earth."

After being shocked and frightened, they were discussing in a low voice whether to go back the way they came, or go up and go around here.

Just when they made the decision to go back first and saw a path going up, they went up the path first and walked around the front, when the movement in front suddenly stopped again.

"Huh?"

"Finished?"

"Have the monsters been eliminated? Have the gods won?"

"do not speak!"

The leader scolded in a low voice and walked back quickly.

Unexpectedly, the situation changes and the light and shadow flow.

Mortals cannot resist the general trend of the world. Even if they are walking on the road, they are not as fast as Feng Yun.

Unknowingly, a cloud was blown by the wind and floated over their heads, casting a shadow. The sunlight in front of them, which was still hot and bright just now, dimmed for a while. Unable to adapt, they felt that the light suddenly decreased, and there was even a kind of blackness in front of their eyes. The feeling is scary.

It was already late autumn at this time. Thanks to the strong sun, I didn't feel cold at all. It was even a little hot while traveling. As soon as the sun disappeared, the temperature dropped sharply, and I felt a bit chillier inside.

"Remember. If you encounter someone, don't run away, and don't be so scared that you can't speak. Everyone has to answer and stay here."

The team leader is very alert and responsible.

He kept his voice low, as if he was afraid of attracting the attention of some terrifying existence, but it made him even more frightened.

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, there was movement next to him.

"rustle……"

There was a sway in the reeds, and someone was walking.

Everyone was as silent as a chill.

"call……"

The wind brought a fishy smell.

The scary thing happened after all——

A tall, muscular, headless monk wearing rags appeared in front of them.

The monk's clothes were already in tatters, with almost nothing left but rags, dirty, muddy and hung with reeds. Even without a head, he is taller than a human being, and his arms are even thicker than the waists of many people who are not thin. I don’t know how many people have been killed, and they have already been stained black with blood. And his fist was as big as a man's head and was tightly squeezed. There were countless wounds on it, stained with gravel, and had black and smelly tofu blood and rotten meat. His muscles were all knotted, and his arms were naturally drooped and could not be closed. It was so intimidating. The oppressive power is far greater than that of the guardian statues in temples.

The monk didn't walk fast, as if he was wandering, but he walked straight in front of them.

There is a hole in the belly, which looks like a wound and a mouth.

Just like in the legend, he actually uttered human words:

"Did you see a cat?"

"Still there! Still there!"

There was a chaotic response from everyone.

After they finished replying, they were suddenly startled and opened their eyes wide.

This is different from the legend!

"rustle……"

The headless monk squeezed away the reeds and left slowly.

Everyone was shocked and relieved, and at the same time looked at each other, wondering what was going on.

The next moment, there was another rustling sound in the reeds on the other side. Everyone was shocked and saw a little girl walking out. She raised her head and stared at them with a pair of clear eyes. They saw that they were not in danger and seemed to be loose. He took a breath and whispered:

"You are very smart."

Everyone dared not speak and did not know how to answer.

The girl pointed to the sky, pointed to the road ahead, and then retreated into the reeds.

"..."

The business travelers looked at each other again.

The leader raised his head and lowered his head, looking at both the clouds in the sky and the road ahead. Only then did he realize that the wind was coming from the front, blowing the thick cumulus clouds behind him, and the road ahead was welcoming more and more sunshine.

Only then did I understand——

The little girl is reminding herself not to go back, but to go forward, there is the sun ahead.

"Walk!"

This must be the fairy boy in heaven.

With this thought in mind, the leader made a decisive U-turn and continued moving forward.

"us……"

"Go forward."

"good!"

"Today is too thrilling. Let's not rush forward. Let's all go to Xianning City to rest for the night." The leader couldn't help but sigh, "This road is really uneven."

…

"It's been really rough around the lake recently." The innkeeper said to Song Yu. "Several groups of merchants and people passing by the wasteland over there said they had seen the headless monk fighting with the mountain god. He was just a villain. I’ve heard about it four or five times in the past half month, and those people were all frightened, and they all said the same thing. It was definitely personal experience, not lies.”

The shopkeeper's reaction was a little slow, but Song You had been living here for half a month, and he gradually realized from many details that this Taoist was probably not simple.

Not only him, but also his cats and children.

I was a little scared at first, but as time went by, I felt that they were easy to get along with, so I let down my guard. All my vigilance and fear were transformed into respect. When I heard these ghosts and ghosts, I was naturally willing to tell him about them.

"When I first heard about it more than ten days ago, some people saw two mountain gods, and some saw three or four, but they couldn't defeat the headless demon monk. They said that the mountain gods were just ordinary rocks, but two days ago I also heard people talking on the street. Fishermen rowing boats on the lake saw that the mountain god was able to fight the headless demon monk back and forth. Do you think this is a miracle?"

After hearing this, the Taoist nodded immediately:

"magic."

The terrain here is relatively open, the houses are mostly short, and the sight can be seen far away. The Sanhua Empress fights the headless monk every day, so people will definitely see her.

The Headless Monk is a ghost story that has been passed down in Xianning for hundreds of years. After reappearing in recent years, it has become even more known and feared by everyone. Nowadays, there are "mountain gods" fighting with it, and it is still more than half a century old. It was witnessed by many people within a month, which naturally caused great sensation and discussion.

Everyone hopes that the mountain god can get rid of it.

In the past half month, Song You still went out for a stroll every day. He became more and more familiar with the streets and alleys of Xianning City, and he often heard about the battles between mountain gods and monster monks outside the city.

Listen to it once outside and listen again when you get home.

My heart felt somewhat numb.

You still have to pretend to be fresh...

Especially after returning home.

While I was thinking about it, there was the sound of horse hooves outside the door.

The maroon horse was not shoed, and the sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the hard stone was quite different from the ordinary horse's hooves, and it was easy to distinguish.

The sound of horse hooves went all the way to the side stables.

There are swallows flying outside the door.

Not long after, a petite figure appeared at the door, dressed in three-color clothes, carrying a bamboo hat and a swallow's dagger on his back, a wet bag filled with fish on his shoulder, and a braid on the back of his head. Some of them were loose, and a few strands of hair were stuck to his face messily with sweat, which made him feel like a knight-errant who came back from fishing in exchange for drink money.

Naturally, it’s a smaller version.

"Sanhua Empress is back again?" the store owner said first, "I caught a few more fish today. I still charge the market price."

“It’s all big fish today.”

"no problem……"

The store owner went up to it first and opened it to take a look.

Not just big fish, but good fish.

The two parties quickly completed the transaction.

Sanhua Empress still left one and asked the store to help her raise it, while she cooked it for herself at night.

Sanhua Empress was very diligent. She also washed the robe and hung it up to dry in the back. Then she went back upstairs and said to her Taoist priest: "Sanhua Empress is almost tied with that monk!"

"It's the mountain god of Sanhua Empress. Sanhua Empress still has a useless little flag, so she is more powerful than the mountain god." Song You corrected.

"That's right! It's Sanhua Empress's mountain god!"

"Can Empress Sanhua's magic method of turning stone into gold be enough to cover the entire stone giant?"

"No, it can only be half, and it will take several times to get half."

"But I heard from people outside that some of them saw the mountain god of Sanhua Empress fighting with the demon monk. The mountain god was all golden."

"They got it wrong."

"That's coming soon enough."

"Soon!"

Sanhua Empress gave a sigh of relief, turned back into a cat, and continued: "I just had a fight with that monk today. That monk was so powerful that I couldn't beat him to death. Sanhua Empress invited the mountain god several times, but was slowly defeated by him. After beating him to pieces, I used the Midas touch method several times, but all my magic power was used up, and I still couldn’t kill him, so I had to run away.”

As he spoke, he looked at the Taoist to ask for advice.

"If you have to invite the mountain god several times, it means that the mountain god is not powerful enough. If you have to use the Midas touch several times, it means it is not long-lasting and hard enough." Song You just said, "Empress Sanhua still needs practice."

"practise!"

The cat has a serious expression and is very serious.
