Tuan Tuanyi was terrified when he heard that his master was going to kill protected animals, and he rushed over to stop him. The wild boar under him was struggling desperately, repeating his social status over and over again. Noisy obstructions echoed around him, and the hand warmer hanging around his neck began to get hot. Wei Xi held the knife in his hand, his eyes were extremely sharp, and his whole body was filled with murderous intent.
Now that things have come to this, I might as well find a reason to kill him.
At this moment, his wrist was grasped, the second disciple squatted beside him, and a deep voice drilled into his ears: “Wei Xi, it has awakened its spiritual wisdom.”
Intelligence…
Wei Dedao!
He almost forgot that since he had never encountered any intelligent monsters since he left the mountain! Wei Xi gritted his teeth and stared at the huge wild boar monster that was shaking wildly.
The hand that was holding Wei Xi’s wrist reached up and pried his fingers apart. Wei Xi had a gloomy face, but in the end the second disciple took away his knife and pulled him to stand up.
Fingers stroked his face, and the second disciple who pulled him up whispered to him, “Are you hurt?”
Wei Xi shook his head, and his tense nerves suddenly relaxed. His mind was now filled with Wei Dedao’s nagging, and he felt tired for no reason. But he was not injured, and the blood on his body and face was all from the wild boar spirit.
After escaping, the wild boar demon hid behind the old Taoist priests who had tried to stop Wei Xi. He was so moved that he squealed like a pig and no longer dared to pretend to be cool. Thank you country!
It thought that Wei Xi did not kill it because he was concerned about his identity as an animal protector. Most of the other people present did not know Wei Xi’s true purpose and just thought that he was chasing after it to take revenge because of the wild boar’s rude words just now.
For a moment, they felt speechless when they saw the wild boar demon who was almost dead and covered with wounds. They couldn’t help but think of the old proposition that was mentioned repeatedly –
Taicang Sect is really… I don’t know what to say.
….
The teammates of the perpetrator were all in the same situation, not to mention the group of animals brought by the wild boar. Some of the timid followers had already run away and disappeared, and the few who were left were all scared out of their wits when they saw their boss being beaten like this.
The long green bamboo no longer swayed, and it remained rooted quietly in the same place as if it were dead.
With things getting so bad, the original Taoist ritual definitely didn’t need to be done anymore. The most urgent task was to bandage the seriously injured wild boar demon. The wild boar demon seemed to think that he had a backer, and now he was back to his old ways. Without the threat, he could speak fluently. He fell to the ground and groaned to the old Taoist priests, “He hurt a national second-level protected animal. You all saw it. I’m going to report him…”
Everyone had no idea how to respond. But when Tuan Tuanyi heard that this pig wanted to report his master, he refused to accept it and jumped up to argue with him: “You report us, and we will report you too!”
The pig demon was so angry at his confusion that his eyes widened: “What did you say?”
Tuan Tuanyi: “When did you become a spirit?”
The pig spirit was stunned: “Why did you ask this, half a year ago?”
Tuan Tuanyi immediately had something to rely on: “Half a year ago, that means you became a spirit after the founding of the country, didn’t you? Who told you to become a spirit? I don’t believe your procedures were legal, let’s report it together and see whose result comes out first! Don’t you agree, Taoist priests?”
Taoist priests: “==”
To become a spirit, you still need to go through the formalities… Kuang Zhiming looked at him speechlessly. He really didn’t know where he got all those vague and boundless nonsense from. What was even more shocking was that the wild boar spirit actually believed it! After a moment of confusion, the aggrieved mood in its huge pig eyes dissipated, and was replaced by the uneasiness of discovering that it was now an illegal resident.
Just as it seemed about to ask where to apply for the documents, the Taoist priests present turned their heads away. At this time, there was a rustling sound behind them. Everyone turned around and saw Qiu Guokai and Director Wang approaching cautiously.
The two did not dare to act alone. They had just followed the Taoist priests to watch the whole process of Wei Xi’s “ritual”. At this moment, two different faces were filled with identical shock.
“Masters,” Director Wang asked carefully, “Is this the thing that’s causing trouble in our crew?”
Everyone nodded: “It must be them.”
“That’s amazing.” Director Wang recalled the scene he had just seen and said to Tuan Tuanyi with an eye-opening expression, “I had guessed that there were monsters in this world before, but I didn’t expect that the way to exorcise monsters would be like this. It’s really grand, thrilling, and so efficient!”
The monster was beaten down directly! He originally thought that he would have to perform another ritual.
As it was related to his master’s professional level, Tuan Tuanyi shook hands with him proudly: “No, no, no.”
Everyone: “…”
Everyone really wanted to tell them that the Taicang Sect was probably the only sect in the world that used this method to exorcise demons, and that normal Taoists would actually perform rituals when they encountered monsters.
Qiu Guokai and Director Wang were panicked when they encountered the wild beasts before, but now they were not so scared after they saw the leading wild boar being beaten like this. After shaking hands with Tuan Tuanyi, Director Wang still wanted to find out the cause: “Master, can you figure out why they came to mess with our crew? The props and costumes have been destroyed like this, again and again, there must be a reason, right?”
The wild boar demon lay on the ground, glanced at him with disdain, and snorted two puffs of hot air from its nostrils.
This clearly showed that he didn’t want to cooperate, and his attitude towards Director Wang seemed extremely disgusted. Everyone couldn’t help but speculate on the reason –
Was it bad luck when the crew entered the mountain? Did the crew violate some taboo during filming? Did the crew destroy the ecological environment of the mountain?
Or……
Just want to hurt someone?
At this time, Wei Xi’s second disciple wiped the blood off his face and looked at the wild boar demon walking towards him silently. As soon as the wild boar demon smelled his scent, it immediately became very excited and moved frantically on the ground, trying to hide further away. It no longer had the arrogant look and howled, “What do you want to do! I am a national wild protected animal!”
He felt that he had received an unjust beating, and he vented his anger on everyone: “How dare you do this to me! You were the ones who disrespected us first! What’s wrong with us fighting back?”
“???” Director Wang was a little flustered, “How have we disrespected you?”
“You’re still denying it!” The wild boar demon was so angry that his eyes turned red and snot flowed from his nostrils. “I was in the same hotel as you guys. Everyone saw the clothes you were giving out that day! The spirit creatures you dressed up as were simply… simply a great shame!”
Director Wang was stunned when he heard this and suddenly remembered the costumes of the extras that were torn to pieces. He finally realized something and fell into an unprecedented silence in his life.
Wei Xi stood beside his second disciple, holding the jade pendant that had turned warm again, and listened incoherently. He also understood that the group of spirits in the mountain happened to run into the crew distributing costumes to the extras. A large part of the extras in the crew happened to overlap with the spirits in the mountain. When they learned that this group of idiots from nowhere had to wear shoddy scraps of copper and iron to play themselves, the spirits were dissatisfied with everything and went crazy.
The wild boar demon was saying confidently while lying on the ground: “We are all very handsome, how could we dress like you!”
Everyone looked at its sturdy body, its runny nose, and its curled tail flapping on the ground, and didn’t know what to think.
….
Wei Xi glanced at his second disciple beside him. The disciple’s eyes swept across the wild boar monster, then turned to the other monsters hiding in the bushes in the distance, with an unusually serious expression.
Wei Xi licked the coagulated wild boar blood on the back of his hand and asked, “Lu Que, what’s wrong with you?”
The disciple retracted his gaze, his eyes briefly passed over his tongue licking the back of his hand, and turned his face to the other side calmly: “There are too many spiritually intelligent monsters in Maohua Mountain.”
He made a rough estimate of the scene and found that there were at least twenty animals of various kinds, not counting the plants that had not yet been discovered.
This number was obviously abnormal. Shuo Zong lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then slowly turned his gaze to the sky.
Heavenly Way…
Wei Xi didn’t know what he was thinking. He just smacked the blood on his tongue and snorted in agreement: “It’s indeed too much!”
If he hadn’t awakened his spiritual intelligence, how could the wild boar on the ground still stay alive when it was right at his mouth!
Seeing that he was still looking at the wild boar demon, Tuan Tuanyi was really worried that his master would take risks, so he couldn’t help but approach him to persuade him: “Master, we can’t kill state-protected animals casually. We don’t have a hunting license. If we are found out, we will definitely be sued.”
Wei Xi frowned: “Lawsuit?”
Tuan Tuanyi: “Not only will you be sued, you might even be fined and detained!”
Fine! And even detention!
Wei Xi understood this word immediately and couldn’t help but frown deeply. What was going on outside the mountain?
To open a sect, you needed various certificates and you had to pay taxes on the money you made, but you can’t even eat a wild boar! You still had to pay a fine.
He was angry and aggrieved. Wei Dedao had finally stopped nagging but why were there so many weird rules everywhere outside!
