"If the parasites are using their hosts to reproduce and make the dead run into the river, then how do we make the parasites that are still in the human body automatically expel them?”The advisor thought for a long time but could not think of a solution to this problem.
"Medicine, you can only take medicine, but what medicine?”The magistrate could not figure out the solution.
"I really don't know where these parasites came from.”
Fu Yang felt that the area he was in was shaken, as if the mountain was about to collapse. Before he could figure out the situation, Hong Lian rushed over and stood aside, vigilantly looking around. She had already sensed something was wrong. At this moment, Shi Xiangke and Xiao Yue also came.
"What's going on?" Fu Yang asked.
"It's a demon! No, it's a dead demon!" Shi Xiangke smelled it. It was indeed a dead monster.
"Dead demon?" Red Lotus and the other two looked at Shi Xiangke in surprise. What was a dead demon?
"That's because the body of the demon was used after it died. It was to occupy the demon's body and become a part of himself! Only when the dead demon was active would it emit a demonic aura. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to detect its existence!”Shi Xiangke explained while taking out her demon-slaying weapon.
"Where? Why didn't I see it?" Xiao Yue looked around and didn't find anything. It was just that the mountain was shaking, as if it was going to throw them down.
"What happened?" Red Lotus cried out because the place they were standing on suddenly became warm and loose. Even the surrounding flowers, trees, and even the waterfall had disappeared in an instant.
Before they could react, the entire mountain suddenly loosened as if it was about to stand up. The mountain really stood up.
"Ah!"
Losing their balance, they couldn't stand on their feet. The four of them fell down from the strange mountain like they had fallen into an abyss. Red Lotus saw this and immediately flew to Fu Yang to pull him up. Then, she followed Shi Xiangke and the others to land on the ground, watching the disappearing mountain turn into a huge monster with black hair.
Young Master Guan of Fu Yang, who had never seen the world, was naturally shocked.
"What is that thing? How did it become like this?”Xiao Yue asked in surprise.
"So you've been hiding like this. That's not a mountain, it's the body of a dead demon!”Shi Xiangke said.
"What?!" The three of them exclaimed.
With a bang, the huge black pillar stepped on the ground, making a deafening mountain sound. The sound spread throughout Chang 'an, and even the people in the city felt it. They looked at the dark clouds in the distance outside the city in surprise, as if something was going to happen.
"Why is it so big? Is this a mountain or something?”Xiao Yue looked up. The huge black monster reached the clouds and hid in the clouds. She couldn't see its head at all, and she couldn't tell if it was the monster's upper body or its two feet.
Fu Yang and the other three quickly hid far away from the black-furred monster, afraid that it would flatten them if it stepped on them again.
They couldn't even see the head of such a huge monster. How were they going to deal with four tiny ants in front of the monster?
"What monster is so huge?" Red Lotus asked. No matter how she looked at it, she could not tell what kind of demon it was.
"Gorilla! It's a gorilla!" Shi Xiangke said confidently.
"Are gorillas that big?" Xiaoyue said.
"That's why we have to beat it back to its original form!”Shi Xiangke said. The demon-slaying dagger hanging on his waist was unsheathed by Shi Xiangke. With a spell formation, it released a golden Buddha light and flew into the sky to hover around the monster. Because of the monster's huge body, its movements were very slow. Moreover, the monster couldn't touch the dagger. Therefore, when the monster angrily waved its hand to block the dagger, it was struck by the Buddha light on the dagger. The Buddha light spread to the monster's body and loosened. The black monster instantly shot out flames. The black fur stood up from the lightning, and its entire body was filled with a burnt smell.
Xiaoyue and the others covered their mouths and noses to watch the monster's transformation because the smell was too unpleasant.
With another bang, the monster fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust that polluted the air. At this moment, the monster changed. Its body slowly shrank, turning into a body twice the size of a human.
"Is this my true self? He's only cultivated for 500 years. He can be considered our opponent!”Xiaoyue wanted to go up and pull him, but Shi Xiangke pulled her back and glared at her.
The gorilla that was lying on the ground stood up. Its face was even more terrifying than an ordinary gorilla's, but its movements were really clumsy. Its eyes were unfocused, like a soulless corpse being manipulated by someone.
"Its body is filled with the smell of rotting corpses. It's dead!”Shi Xiangke couldn't help but frown. The smell was too strong for him to bear.
"Why can't I smell it?" Fu Yang looked at the three of them frowning and covering his nose.
"Because you are a human, your nose is too sensitive to demons!”Xiao Yue replied.
Fu Yang was puzzled. That demon slayer was also a human!
"He's here!" Shi Xiangke saw the gorilla pouncing over and quickly told everyone. Immediately, Red Lotus pulled Fu Yang and jumped away, while Shi Xiangke pulled Xiaoyue to hide.
From the beginning to the end, he did not hear the demon say a single word, nor did he make any sound.
"Seriously, I can't stand the smell anymore.”Xiao Yue cried out. The fox's nose was too sharp. She really couldn't take it anymore. Xiao Yue flew up in front of the gorilla. In an instant, all the stones on the ground flew up and stopped beside her. Xiao Yue looked at the monster coldly. A gust of cold wind blew her hair. All the stones gathered together and were ready to attack at any time. Xiao Yue raised her hand, and the stones flew into the monster's heart. Then, the stones jumped out from behind and fell to the ground. There was a huge hole in the demon's chest that pierced through the scenery behind him.
Xiao Yue flew down and finished the fight beautifully. The monster fell to the ground and raised a cloud of dust. Fu Yang looked at Xiao Yue in surprise and then at the monster on the ground. It was defeated just like that?
"Tsk, you don't have any strength at all and you want to come out to the Demon Realm!”Xiaoyue rolled her eyes at the motionless monsters on the ground and said. She looked at them and saw their more frightened eyes. Xiaoyue turned back to look at them. It was fine if she didn't look at them, but she was so scared that she jumped behind Shi Xiangke.
A black thing the size of a python crawled out of the gorilla's chest.
"This guy ate the demon's heart!”Shi Xiangke said," It resides in a monster's body. Because it doesn't have a moving body, it targets the monster as its nest.”
"What exactly is that thing? Why is it so creepy?”Xiao Yue asked.
"If I'm not wrong, this is a parasite, a parasite that has become a spirit.”Hong Lian walked over and said.
Fu Yang suddenly ran to the side and vomited. Why did he feel so disgusted? Red Lotus walked over worriedly and patted his back.""How is it?"
Fu Yang wiped the corner of his mouth and shook his head.
"We can't let it escape." Shi Xiangke said. She took out a talisman and chanted a spell. The talisman immediately flew to the head of the escaping parasite. In fact, she didn't know whether it was a head or a tail because it had no eyes or mouth.
The parasite was restrained by the talisman and kept jumping around. In the end, Shi Xiangke took out the Monster Collecting Hu and opened the lid. In an instant, the parasite was taken in. Shi Xiangke quickly closed the lid.
"Is it over?" Red Lotus asked.
"Yes! It was already packed! The parasite used the monster to turn into a mountain and flow its eggs into the city through the river! However, the smoking grass was really useful.”Shi Xiangke replied.
"What about the commoners? There are still parasites in their bodies. What should we do?”Hong Lian asked worriedly while supporting Fu Yang.
"Let's go back first!"
Outside the yamen, dozens of commoners were huddled together, drinking from the water bottles prepared beside them as if they could not get enough.
At this moment, the magistrate walked out with the advisor. Immediately, the commoners began to loosen up.
"Milord, what is the solution? I've been gorging myself for the past few days, but now I've been craving for water.”
"Yeah, us too."
The magistrate gave a signal with his eyes, and a few bailiffs understood. They went forward and put away all their water bottles.
"What is this?" someone shouted.
"I'm really sorry. Before the medicine is confirmed, don't drink any more water. I will arrange rooms for everyone to rest in the mansion. Everyone, wait for a while!”the magistrate said, calming the hearts of the people.
"But, Milord, we are really thirsty!”
"Everyone, just bear with it for now!" The magistrate said. Then, he turned to the advisor and asked,"What happened?"
"The medicine is still under research. I don't know if it will work.”the advisor replied.
"Anyway, I have to give it a try!"
The four of them had just returned to the city when Tang Yan jumped out of nowhere and gave them a huge shock.
"Biao Older Brother, Biao Older Sister-in-law, where did you run off to today? You didn't even say a word, causing us to be worried.”Tang Yan asked worriedly. When she saw Shi Xiangke and Xiaoyue standing beside Red Lotus Fu Yang, she pulled him aside and asked carefully,"Cousin, who are those two people?"
It was obvious that Fu Yang was also stunned. He did not know the two of them very well!
"Well, let me introduce you!”At this moment, Hong Lian walked over to mediate the situation for Fu Yang.
"This is Shi Xiangke, the Demon Slayer, and this is Xiao Yue.”Red Lotus turned to Shi Xiangke and introduced them,"This is my husband's cousin, Tang Yan.”
After the introduction, Tang Yan jumped over and greeted Shi Xiangke,""Hello, you're a demon exorcist, right? Are there really demons in this world? Have you ever met one? What does it look like? Hey, hey, hey! Cousin, why are you pulling me?" Tang Yan was dragged away by Fu Yang before she could finish her words, leaving Shi Xiangke with a helpless face and the embarrassment of Red Lotus and the others.
At this moment, they were sitting in the pavilion of the Moon Pavilion Lake. The red lotuses were still blooming in the lake. Shi Xiangke stared at the red lotuses in the lake. Red Lotus curled her lips and turned her head away in embarrassment. What could she do? They wanted to bloom in this season. What could she do?
"I've already heard about it. Fortunately, my family didn't touch the river in the city.”Tang Yan said," I think this matter has spread all over the country. Even the imperial palace knows about it.”
"Then, how is my family?”Red Lotus asked nervously.
"Don't worry, everything's fine!" Tang Yan said," This is the first time I've heard of parasites too. It's really scary. Just thinking about it crawling around in my stomach gives me goosebumps!"”Tang Yan shivered as she spoke.
"Then how should the yamen solve this matter? Didn't they say that there are still parasites in the bodies of the commoners? If they were to come out again, wouldn't those people lose their lives again?”Shi Xiangke asked.
"I don't know about that either. I heard that it has already been reported to the Imperial Court to see how the Imperial Physicians in the Imperial Palace can think of a way to concoct medicine to resolve it.”Tang Yan said. However, she seemed to be interested in Shi Xiangke's identity as a Demon Slayer.
When Xiaoyue saw Tang Yan's eyes drift towards Shi Xiangke, she was furious. She subconsciously pulled Shi Xiangke who was sitting next to her and shot Tang Yan a provocative look.
