When the villagers heard his confidence, they all came to their senses and hurriedly said, "Master, do you need us to do anything?"

Monk Yuanzhi shook his head: "You don't need to do anything, just wait."

As he spoke, he rummaged through the cabinets at his aunt's house to find a few things, and then dragged the deceased's son out, telling the rest of the people not to follow.

When the two arrived under an old peach tree, the monk Yuanzhi asked the young man, "Are you bold?"

This guy's name is Xiao Yong, when his parents were alive, he was also a master who loved to fight and fight, and now the family has changed greatly, his parents are dead, and the whole person is numb, where do you know what a fear word is, gritted his teeth and said: "I'm not even afraid of death!"

The Yuan Zhi monk asked, "Do you want to avenge your parents?"

"Of course!" Xiao Yong nodded vigorously, "Master, what do you need me to do, you say!" ”

Monk Yuanzhi took out a small mirror, three large steel needles sewing sacks and a yellow paper talisman, handed it to Xiao Yong, and said in a low voice: "I'll teach you a method, don't let anyone know!"

Xiao Yong nodded: "Okay!"

"Listen carefully! Tonight, you hang this small mirror at the head of your parents' bed, light a kerosene lamp under the mirror, and there is a yellow paper charm under the lamp, and you sit at the head of the bed and recite it three times: "Punish demons under the lamp of the ancient Buddha, hum me! Then pinch a steel needle and lie on the bed to sleep, get up at night and go out to go forward, there is a river at the end, throw the steel needle into the river and turn around and go home, you must remember! Whoever talks to you on the way, don't pay attention to it, and don't look back! You have to get home before the lights go out! For three days, the monster will surely die! ”

Monk Yuanzhi said that he was also very nervous, this method was what he saw in the scriptures, I don't know if it is reliable, anyway, just don't let yourself do it, and said: "You can't be a little sloppy, otherwise you will die!"

Xiao Yong thought it was a method and said, "This is simple! I'll listen to the master! ”

After the two said goodbye, the monk Yuanzhi returned to his aunt's house and waited anxiously without mentioning it.

Speaking of Xiao Yong alone, when he returned home, he first burned paper money for his parents, waited until he washed up at night, according to the words of the monk Yuanzhi, hung a mirror, lit a lamp, and padd yellow paper charms, and then sat on the edge of the bed and recited the incantation three times: The ancient Buddha lamp punishes the demons, hum and hum!

After finishing the work, I pinched a steel needle and fell asleep, I don't know how long it took, I thought it was over! The master only told me to get up in the middle of the night and go out, and he didn't say when, whether it was the first half of the night or the second half of the night.

He hurriedly went out with a steel needle, ready to ask the monk Yuanzhi, just walked a few steps, found a straight dirt road, there is no shop in front of the village, and I don't know how to get here, he was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth, don't look for a master, just do it.

The road was dark, and Xiao Yong was alone, walking and hitting the side of the road, an old man with a white beard and a sharp beak and monkey cheeks came out, and when he saw Xiao Yong, he said to him with a gloomy face: "Young man, who asked you to come?" Do you know what this place is? ”

Xiao Yong remembered the words of the Yuan Zhi monk, didn't dare to pay attention to the old man, lowered his head and walked forward without saying a word.

The old man came up with a gloomy face and said, "Stop! Do you know what's up ahead? If you go any further, you won't be able to come back, listen to me, go back! ”

Xiao Yong pretended not to hear, and walked forward vigorously, muttering in his heart, what is this old man doing? What are you saying with me?

The old man continued to follow and said, "Who told you to come?" What are you doing there? ”

Xiao Yong felt strange, and said in his heart: Everyone is in a hurry to travel at night, what do you care? Thinking of the words of the Yuan Zhi monk, he forcibly held back the doubt.

The old man seemed to see his thoughts, sighed and said, "I'm also for your good, hurry home, it's very dangerous ahead."

Xiao Yong ignored the verbose old man, and ran away, and when he saw a sparkling river, he threw the steel needle in his hand into the river, only to see the water splashing and bubbles, and then turned around and went home.

The old man on the road was gone, and there was a light in the darkness ahead, and he thought to himself that it was a kerosene lamp in his own house, so he hurried up his pace.

Getting closer and closer to the kerosene lamp, I suddenly shivered, and when I opened my eyes, I found that I was still lying on the bed, and it was almost dawn outside, and what had just happened was like a dream, and the big steel needle in my hand was gone.

Early the next morning, he ran to find the monk Yuanzhi and told him what was going on, and the monk was also very excited when he heard it, and said that this method was really mysterious, and said to Xiaoyong: "That's right!" Hold on, there are still two days to succeed, don't talk to anyone! ”

Xiao Yong had an experience, and the next night he became much more proficient, hanging the mirror, lighting the lamp, reciting the mantra three times silently, and then slept with a large steel needle, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already come out of the house, and unknowingly went on the dirt road.

Smear walked forward for a while, and met the white-bearded old man with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks, the old man was very anxious, and said: "Young man, you really can't go any further today, you go back and I'll tell you something!"

Xiao Yong also pondered, this old man is trying to confuse me, as soon as I talk to him, the master's method will not work, so I just care about boring and moving forward.

The old man came up from behind his ass and almost pleaded, "Young man! As long as you turn around and go back, what do you want, I'll give you anything, okay, do you want money? How much do you want, how much do I give you? ”

Of course, Xiao Yong also likes money, but compared to avenging his parents, money is nothing, gritted his teeth and said nothing.

The old man said, "Don't you want any money?" With money, you can do anything! Do you want something delicious and fun? Do you want a beautiful woman? Big breasted white ass! You say what you want, as long as you turn around, I'll bring it to you right away! ”

Xiao Yong listened to the old man's more outrageous words, and suddenly suspected that the old man's eight achievements were the monster, and he was suddenly frightened into a white sweat, and ran forward, letting the old man follow behind and ignoring all the good words, when he got to the river, he threw the steel needle into the river, turned his head and went home.

The old man disappeared on the road again, and when Xiao Yong returned home and opened his eyes, it was almost dawn again, and the steel needle in his hand was gone.

He ran to find the Yuan Zhi monk again, and told the original story of what happened last night, the Yuan Zhi monk was excited to hear it, and felt that it was quite fun, and he knew that he would try it himself, he told Xiao Yong: "It's the last day, come on, don't make a mistake!"

On the third night, Xiao Yong hung up the mirror, lit the lamp, recited the incantation, and lay on the bed with the last big steel needle in his hand to sleep.

When he woke up, it was still on the dirt road, and the white-bearded old man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks was already waiting in front, and when he saw Xiao Yong, he scolded angrily: "You bastard, do you still have a face?"

Xiao Yong ignored him, didn't look at him, walked straight forward, and said in his heart: It's the last day, I threw the steel needle into the river, and my parents' revenge will be avenged.

The old man scolded for a long time, and when he saw that Xiao Yong had been silent, he couldn't help but be very annoyed, his face was grim, and he said: "Since your kid is so ruthless, don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless, I'll go eat your family and the people in your village now, and bite him to pieces!"

Xiao Yong was shocked, his parents were dead, did this monster still harm the whole village? "You dare to ......" The four words came to his mouth and swallowed it back raw, saying that the master is in the village, and this monster will naturally have a master to deal with!

Seeing Xiao Yong's face change, the old man thought that the other party was moved by what he said, and continued to threaten viciously: "I'll go!" Did I really go? ”

At this time, I already saw the river in front of me! Xiao Yong was overjoyed, ran a few steps, and threw the steel needle into the river.

Poof!

This time the splash was half a zhang high, and a scream came from under the river, followed by a stream of blood, Xiao Yong was about to step forward to see what was going on, and suddenly felt dizzy and dizzy, and hurriedly turned his head and ran back.

When he woke up again, it was already bright, he patted his head, felt that his body was extremely tired, got up and went to find the Yuanzhi monk in a groggy state, and the Yuanzhi monk was overjoyed when he heard it, and quickly gathered the villagers to go to the Hulu River to see.

The men, women and children of the whole village ran to the gourd river together, and when they arrived at the river, they saw a behemoth floating in the water, five or six meters long, with a pointed mouth, four claws, and a big tail, with a white belly facing upward, dead and transparent, and at first glance it looked a bit like a lizard.
