The ultimate master in the city

Chapter 104 The Gluttonous Dog Demon and the Fox Spirit

Zhou Fengchen was unaware of Zhou Linglong's statement and was quite excited. He ran out of the coffee shop and, when he reached a secluded spot, called out, "Old Chu, come out."

Chu Xiaoling appeared, swaying slightly with Xiaobao, and asked with lingering fear, "Who was that person? How scary!"

"Are you afraid of Zhou Linglong?" Zhou Fengchen asked curiously. Then he realized that Zhou Linglong had been able to walk between Yin and Yang since she was seven years old. She was skilled in divination and Qimen Dunjia, and in that line of work, she was equivalent to him in terms of fighting. She was very perceptive and could see through the nature of demons and monsters. Any ghost or monster would be afraid of her.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, she won't bother you." Zhou Fengchen said casually, taking out two hundred yuan from his pocket. "Take Xiaobao and buy me a roast chicken, a roast duck, about ten raw eggs, and a bottle of pesticide. Let's go catch a demon."

Chu Xiaoling nodded in surprise, took the money, and drifted away with Xiaobao.

There was mugwort growing in the weeds behind the rented house. Zhou Fengchen went back to his residence, pulled up a bundle, ran back to his room, took off his clothes, smeared the mugwort leaves all over his body, took a cold shower, and then smeared them again.

After he changed into clean clothes, Chu Xiaoling returned with Xiaobao. They had bought everything they needed, and after placing the change on the table, she asked curiously, "These things... can they really catch demons?"

Zhou Fengchen explained Zhou Linglong's method: "This demon is essentially still an animal. Animals are very curious. It can smell my scent and know what I'm doing. It can play tricks on me with complete confidence. But what if I suddenly go to a strange place and don't do things its way? What do you think it will do?"

Chu Xiaoling said, "It feels strange. I don't know what went wrong, so why did I come over to check?"

"That's right!" Zhou Fengchen picked up the old clothes. "I've masked the smell with mugwort, and that's what he's smelling now. We'll put the old clothes somewhere, then lure him with meat and release the poison. Do you think that's a good idea?"

Chu Xiaoling thought for a moment, then smiled: "That makes sense. The method is simple, but it should work."

"Let's do it!"

Zhou Fengchen rubbed his hands together, then evenly applied the pesticide to the roast duck and chicken. He then grabbed a bag, rolled up his tattered clothes, and shouted, "Let's go!"

The man and the two ghosts hurriedly left the house and ran to a remote, dilapidated house in the suburbs that was slated for demolition.

Zhou Fengchen hung the old clothes in the middle of the house, then placed the roast chicken, roast duck, and eggs not far away. Finally, he pasted a few talismans on the back window to prevent evil spirits from escaping.

Then he pulled Chu Xiaoling and her son to hide in a dark corner outside the door and wait.

It was around one or two in the morning. The surrounding area consisted of abandoned old houses, dark and shadowy in the moonlight. A gust of wind blew from somewhere, making a howling sound.

Zhou Fengchen held his breath and stared intently at his surroundings.

Time passed little by little, and by three o'clock in the morning there was still no movement.

Just when he thought his method had failed, Chu Xiaoling suddenly pointed into the distance and whispered, "Look!"

Zhou Fengchen looked in the direction he was pointing and saw, under the moonlight, the "Monk Yuanzhi" with a big belly and a beautiful woman beside him, sneaking around and looking around furtively.

coming!

That woman turned out to be an "acquaintance"! It was that old fox spirit whose leg he had chopped off in the rat hole!

No wonder!

It turns out that the old fox had found a fake monk named Yuanzhi to take revenge on him.

From this perspective, the exact time when Monk Yuanzhi was impersonated cannot be determined.

Zhou Fengchen felt a chill run down his spine, wondering how long the monster had been by his side. Fortunately, he had cultivated since childhood and had extremely high sensitivity, so he could immediately sense any killing intent and didn't give the monster a chance. Otherwise, it would have been too unjust to be killed in his sleep.

At this moment, the fake monk Yuanzhi and the old fox dawdled to the front of the dilapidated house, craning their necks to look inside, then exchanged a glance, mumbled something to each other, and went inside together.

Zhou Fengchen gestured for Chu Xiaoling and her daughter not to move, then with a light step, he was at the front window in the blink of an eye, peeking inside quietly.

The fake monk Yuanzhi suspiciously tugged at Zhou Fengchen's tattered clothes and asked, "Ninth Sister, where did this Taoist priest go? Why is he hanging here in such tattered clothes?"

The fox-woman, Jiu Niang, thought for a moment, "I'm not quite sure. Could it be... this is his house, and he's hanging his clothes out to dry here?"

The fake monk Yuanzhi shook his head. "Impossible. I slept at his house for one night. His house isn't here, and this place is too dilapidated."

Zhou Fengchen's heart skipped a beat. Had the fake Yuanzhi monk slept in the rented room for a night?

He suddenly realized that Monk Yuanzhi must have been switched with someone else the day Sun Jiaoxue found the small restaurant, because he had unusually used his own teacup to drink water that day, which was very strange!

Where did the real monk Yuanzhi go that day?

Nunnery outside the city!

Zhou Linglong said that Monk Yuanzhi was fifty li outside the city.

So... there's something wrong with this nunnery!

At this moment, the fox spirit Jiu Niang said suspiciously, "Could it be a trap? This Taoist priest is quite skilled. We were supposed to kill him tonight on the east side of the crematorium, but he went halfway and then turned back. Something must have gone wrong..."

The fake monk Yuanzhi ignored her, then suddenly sniffed, turned his head to look at the roast chicken and roast duck next to him, his eyes lit up, he swallowed hard, and quietly walked over. After taking a few steps, he turned into an old man with white hair, and when he got closer, he turned into the big yellow dog with big ears, and viciously bit the roast chicken.

The fox woman paused for a moment, then with a "woo-woo," she transformed into a lame old fox and ran to the ten eggs. She opened her mouth, cracked the shells, and began to eat them with smacking sounds.

Zhou Fengchen shuddered, thinking to himself, "That really works! A beast is a beast." He quietly drew his goose-wing blade and slashed his palm.

Just then, the lame fox finished eating the eggs and turned to eat the roast duck, while the dog next to him shivered and suddenly started spitting out white foam.

"Now's the time!" Zhou Fengchen gripped his goose-wing blade and leaped into the room, slashing down at Huan Gou.

The poor dog, who had cultivated for hundreds of years and could transform into human form, living a carefree life, was cleaved in two with a single blow. His intestines and internal organs spilled out onto the ground, and after a couple of twitches, he was completely dead.

The fox beside him was terrified and quickly took a few steps back, exhaling a large cloud of black smoke, plunging the entire room into darkness.

Zhou Fengchen was prepared and immediately blocked the door. There were a series of thumping sounds from inside the room, as if the fox was trying to escape through the window but was knocked back. Then, the dark shadow flashed and pounced on the door again, trying to run out through it.

"Go back!" Zhou Fengchen kicked it away.

"Waaaaah..."

The black mist dissipated, and the lame fox prostrated itself on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, and spoke in human language: "Daoist Master, spare my life! Daoist Master, spare my life! This little demon has cultivated diligently for over two hundred years, it hasn't been easy!"

Zhou Fengchen, wielding his goose-wing blade, scraped the ground with a harsh screech. Reaching the fox, he pointed it at its forehead. "I'll ask you a question, you answer it. If you dare lie, that old dog next to you will suffer the same fate!"

"Please ask, Taoist priest! This humble demon will tell you the truth!" the fox said, kowtowing.

Zhou Fengchen asked, "Was my monk friend taken away by you?"

The fox nodded: "Yes."

"Where?"

"Suigetsuan."

Shuiyue Nunnery? Zhou Fengchen thought for a moment, then asked, "Why did that old dog and that old woman kill female students at the school?"

"Does Granny Wufu's nunnery need young nuns?"

"Who is Granny Wu Fu?" Zhou Fengchen asked. The name sounded familiar, as if the guardian spirit in the rat hole had mentioned it before it died.

"Grandma Black Bat is..." The fox's eyes darted around, "...someone you can't afford to offend, hehehe..."

As he spoke, he exhaled another breath of black smoke, then turned and ran.

However, Zhou Fengchen was faster. With a swift stroke, he cleanly and neatly cleaved the fox in two, and the corpse fell to the ground with a "thud".
