Heavy Losses
Chapter 26: The fish monster appeared, and the fishermen suffered heavy losses.
A person died in the fishing village, and it was due to mysterious factors, which naturally caused an uproar in this small fishing village.
At the door of the little girl who lost her father, the funeral team invited from outside was beating gongs and drums, performing the traditional Chinese farewell.
In the distance, a Taoist priest holding a wooden sword was chanting, but he didn't say nonsense, but at least one word was incomprehensible.
The Taoist priest was dancing with the sword in his hand on a small boat, twisting it for a while, and then throwing a sphere into the water.
As the chanting in his mouth became more and more urgent, the Taoist priest estimated the time and shouted loudly, and a not-so-small explosion occurred in the water.
The scattered smoke made this Taoist priest full of style.
But watching the video basically shows that this is a charlatan!
But the fishermen in the distance didn't know, they stared blankly at the "powerful" Taoist priest's practice, and really blew up a huge monster fish.
And in the heavens and the worlds, those who have studied biology all know that this strange fish that was blown up is just a big manta ray.
Although it is huge, it can't prey on humans like in the video!
After hanging up the big fish, the fishermen didn't think that the fish was not much bigger than a human. Instead, they gathered money to thank the fake Taoist priest.
The fake Taoist priest naturally just complimented them and took the silver coins sent by the fishermen into his arms. Instead, he returned the salted fish that the fishermen sent with them.
Why do you need salted fish when you have silver coins?
Just when the fake Taoist priest asked the fishermen to dispose of the fish as they pleased and the fishermen were excited, a young man with fluffy hair suddenly said, "You are wrong. That is not the murderer."
The angry expressions of the fishermen were still frozen on their faces, and they turned their heads.
The young man looked at the book in his hand and said, "It's not the murderer. It's just a Gu's fish. It's docile by nature, positive and optimistic, and has a pretty good character. It's a pity that it's a little bit big."
The young man's introduction made the heavens and the worlds speechless.
Being docile by nature can be explained, but how do you know its character and personality?
However, in the Journey to the West world, Tathagata of the Great Leiyin Temple did have an idea.
This must be the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi!
Others don't know, but the world of the fantasy fairy system is clear. Although the intelligence of animals is limited, some people with extraordinary talents can really feel the ignorant hearts of animals in detail.
What's more, this fish is too big. It can be said that if it is given a certain amount of time and a little chance, it is not impossible for it to become a spirit with advanced wisdom.
"Who are you?" asked a villager.
The young man smiled and said, "I am Chen Xuanzang, a Mahayana Buddhist disciple who has not been ordained yet. I am an exorcist who exorcises demons and monsters."
In the historical world, the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin remembered that there seemed to be a Chen Xuanzang here. When he was in trouble a few years ago, he went to the Western Regions and walked all the way to India. Of course, these were only known to the world after he came back. He brought back many scriptures and translated many of them. Li Shimin also heard about them.
With a long sigh, Li Shimin was a little worried. Why was the Chen Xuanzang in the video not him? His health was already very poor. If the video could take stock of his world, then maybe he could achieve the immortal emperor that Qin Shihuang did not achieve.
However... he looked completely different from the one in this video. Before he set off, he was a clean and handsome monk.
"We have seen Gu's fish." The fisherman who asked Chen Xuanzang said, "The Taoist priest said that this is a demon possessed!"
Seeing that someone had exposed his lie, although he felt that it was flawless, in order to prevent any accidents, the fake Taoist priest still jumped out: "A good father was killed by a demon!"
He turned his head away and wanted to squeeze out a few tears, but soon gave up: "The innocent victims' families are in pain! You still say such words!"
The fake Taoist priest's words successfully resonated. The fishing village was not big, and everyone saw acquaintances everywhere. When the acquaintances passed away, they were psychologically sensitive and were successfully used by the fake Taoist priest.
"Asshole! Asshole! Asshole!"
Chen Xuanzang looked at the fishermen with grievance, and he was not good at speaking and could not defend himself.
"Everyone listen to me!" When the fishermen calmed down, Chen Xuanzang said loudly: "The demon you are looking for has not appeared yet!"
"Shut up!" A crying woman came over, she was the wife of the deceased.
"Have you ever had a dead husband!" The woman looked at Chen Xuanzang with grief and anger.
Chen Xuanzang was a little confused.
I am a Buddhist disciple... I am still a man...
Walking forward, Chen Xuanzang held the woman's hand pointing at him: "Sister-in-law, I don't have a husband..."
However, the woman just asked him the same question again.
Chen Xuanzang replied helplessly: "Sister-in-law, do you believe it..."
Bang!
The woman slapped Chen Xuanzang in the face, and then the surrounding fishermen began to beat Chen Xuanzang.
However, even in such a predicament, Chen Xuanzang still shouted: "This fish is innocent! The monster is still in the water, everyone must not go into the water!"
Seeing that this inconsiderate person delayed his earning money and getting off work, the fake Taoist pointed at Chen Xuanzang and beat and scolded him: "It's just nonsense! He is clearly an accomplice of the monster! Hang him up and burn him to death!"
The pope of the medieval world nodded, this Oriental man is a good seedling for a priest.
It's not enough to want to kill Chen Xuanzang with the hands of the ignorant and indecisive fishermen. This conscienceless fake Taoist also assured the fishermen that the water is absolutely safe.
However, Chen Xuanzang's words were more or less useful. Although the fishermen had the fake Taoist's assurance, they still looked at each other and dared not go into the water.
Seeing that no one went into the water, the fake Taoist gave his apprentice a look.
The apprentice looked unbelievable, but still jumped into the water under the fake Taoist's scolding.
After floundering in the water for a few times in fear, the apprentice shouted happily: "It's okay! It's safe!"
After seeing that it was really okay to go into the water, the fishermen completely believed it and jumped into the water to play.
High up, Chen Xuanzang, who was hung up, looked at the fishermen worriedly. He really knew that the monster had not been caught. Such a big noise would definitely attract the monster!
Suddenly, a woman struggled in the water, and Chen Xuanzang and the people around him became nervous.
However, it was just the woman's husband diving to tease her.
Chen Xuanzang looked at the fishermen who scared him speechlessly, and the other fishermen also put their minds at ease and continued to play.
However, hanging high and looking far, Chen Xuanzang clearly saw something jumping in the water in the distance.
The water splashed and flew, and Chen Xuanzang knew that the real monster was coming!
He loudly reminded the fishermen who were still in the water, but how could the fishermen who were having fun hear his warning.
The giant fish monster was getting closer and closer, but the fishermen were unaware.
Soon, a woman singing in the water was swallowed by a fish monster that suddenly emerged, and the fishermen who saw the real monster swam hard towards the shore.
The fishermen soon came to the fake Taoist priest who had not left and asked why. The fake Taoist priest pretended to be calm and comforted them that they would be fine if they went ashore. However, the next second, a huge tentacle flew out of the water, sucked the back of the fake Taoist priest's apprentice, and dragged him into the water.
Seeing that it was not safe to go ashore, the fake Taoist priest ran faster than the fishermen.
After running up to the grassroots, a fisherman grabbed the fake Taoist priest: "Give us back our money! How could you cheat us!"
The fake Taoist priest explained: "Who cheated you! Didn't I help you catch one? Who knew there was another one!"
"What should we do now!"
The fake Taoist priest, who felt that he was safe, said: "Calm down, it's so high here now, it's okay!"
However, the next second, the fisherman was sucked and dragged into the water.
The fake Taoist priest saw that the fisherman who was in front of him just a moment ago was in distress, and he was so scared that he didn't want the money and climbed to a higher place.
"Don't move! Lie down and you'll be fine!" Although Chen Xuanzang was still hanging, he tried his best to remind the fishermen.
Under his constant shouting, the panicked fishermen finally got in order and lay on the wooden ground to observe the situation.
However, the fishermen were temporarily safe, but Chen Xuanzang, who was still hanging on the water, was in danger.
The fish monster swam under Chen Xuanzang, but then disappeared, as if he didn't see Chen Xuanzang.
In the fishing village, the temporarily safe fishermen dared not breathe, but the woman in the first family who was attacked and killed by the monster couldn't find her daughter.
After searching around, she saw her daughter hiding in a corner in fear in the distance.
"Mom!" Seeing her mother, the little girl called Changsheng stood up and walked towards her mother.
"Changsheng! Squat down, don't move!" Changsheng's mother whispered, but Changsheng just walked towards her in fear.
"Squat down and don't come over! Don't come over!"
However, Changsheng's mother's order made the little girl run more anxiously.
At this moment, the fish monster lurking in the water saw the opportunity, and its tentacles suddenly popped out of the water and sucked the running little girl.
Seeing her daughter being dragged away, Changsheng's mother quickly stepped forward and grabbed her daughter's ankle.
Fortunately, although the fish monster was large, its tentacles were not strong and it was not unshakable. Moreover, this place was originally high, and Changsheng's mother grabbed her daughter.
Seeing the fish monster being dragged, other fishermen hurried forward to help pull the tentacles.
With the efforts of the fishermen, the tentacles that originally sucked Changsheng's back could only suck his hair.
Soon, a sharp knife was brought forward and cut off Changsheng's hair, and the tentacles fell.
However, before he had time to breathe a sigh of relief, the tentacles came back and sucked Changsheng's back. Just as he was about to be dragged down, a fisherman took a long knife and cut off the tentacles fiercely.
But everything was too late. Changsheng was already on the edge of the high platform. Under the action of inertia, Changsheng fell down.
It was a close call. Ordinary people in the heavens and the worlds were tossed up and down by this tortuous rescue, but fortunately they were finally rescued.
"Mom is here, it's okay, Changsheng, don't be afraid!" On the edge of the platform, Changsheng's mother, who had finally grabbed her daughter, comforted her frightened daughter.
However, the fish monster was right below.
Changsheng's mother watched the fish monster jump out of the water, bite her daughter with its sharp teeth, and dragged her into the water.
Everyone present fell silent, and Changsheng's mother stared at the water in a daze.
Without hesitation, she grabbed the long-handled knife that cut off the fish monster's tentacles and jumped into the water.
Her husband and daughter died in the mouth of the fish monster one after another, and Changsheng's mother had nothing to lose.
Changsheng's mother kept hitting the water surface with a long-handled knife in the water: "Come out! Come out!"
However, when Changsheng's mother turned around and saw the huge, creepy eyes of the fish monster, she was so scared that she dared not move.
"My...daughter..." Even though she was very scared, Changsheng's mother still looked at the fish monster with hatred.
The fish monster immediately jumped at Changsheng's mother, swallowed her into its stomach with one mouth, and disappeared into the water.

Chapter 27 The Real Exorcist
Since then, Changsheng's family of three has been devoured by the fish monster.
The fish monster was not done after devouring Changsheng's mother. With a sweep of its tail, it broke a pillar standing in the water. The people standing on the high platform suddenly lost their balance, and a baby basket was about to fall into the water.
The baby basket slid on the inclined plank road, and the fish monster swam slowly at the end of the plank road.
Just as the baby basket was about to fall into the water, a person suddenly jumped to the other end of the inclined plank road, tilting the plank road in the opposite direction like a seesaw, so that the baby basket did not fall into the water.
This person was Chen Xuanzang who broke free from his restraints.
Chen Xuanzang stepped forward and tried to grab the baby basket that was about to slide in front of him, but the fish monster suddenly put its tail on the other end, and the baby basket slid towards the fish monster again.
Seeing that he was at a disadvantage in the wrestling match, Chen Xuanzang suddenly had an idea and pulled down the fake Taoist priest who was just above him. After all, the weight of the two people was slightly greater than the power of the fish monster, and the baby basket was temporarily out of danger.
But the fish monster was not willing to give up, and with a flick of its tail,
the baby basket was slapped into the water. Fortunately, the plank road where Chen Xuanzang was also rotated, and
he was able to catch the baby basket in his arms at the critical moment. He threw the baby basket onto the shore, but Chen Xuanzang fell into the water.
However, even though Chen Xuanzang kept struggling in the water until he got ashore, the fish monster, which was not far away, did not appear.
After finally climbing onto the shore, Chen Xuanzang saw that the movement on the water surface was wrong, as if something was about to break out of the water, and above this water surface was the position where the baby basket had just been thrown onto the shore!
The fish monster jumped up from the water and was about to bite the baby basket on the edge of the platform, but someone chopped the rope that bound the dead Gu fish with a knife.
The Gu fish, which was not much smaller than the fish monster, hit the fish monster in mid-air fiercely, and actually knocked the fish monster into the water.
Time was running out, and Chen Xuanzang quickly climbed up the platform from the side to rescue the baby basket from such a dangerous environment!
However, the fish monster made trouble again and hit the supporting column of the platform. Chen Xuanzang lost his balance and fell on the "seesaw" again with the baby in his arms.
Looking back, he saw the fish monster opening its bloody mouth and rushing towards him, and Chen Xuanzang hurriedly ran to a high place.
In a hurry, Chen Xuanzang used the force of the fish monster falling on the seesaw to bounce himself to another high platform.
After returning the baby to the mother, Chen Xuanzang looked back and saw that the huge fish monster was stranded on the seesaw.
"Master! Master!" Chen Xuanzang saw the fake Taoist hiding on the side: "Master, you are better, come and help me!"
"I won't help!" The fake Taoist was just a straw bag, how could he really have the courage to face the fish monster?
Chen Xuanzang was busy explaining: "When it was in the water, I couldn't do anything, but if we two jump down and bounce it to the shore, we can do something!"
"If you don't let go, I'll beat you to death. I swear I will really beat you to death!" Chen Xuanzang was holding one of the fake Taoist's hands. He was really scared.
Chen Xuanzang looked at him and said, "Thank you, Taoist priest!"
After saying that, without waiting for the fake Taoist to react, he pulled him to jump onto the seesaw.
Amid the fake Taoist's screams, the two successfully bounced the huge fish monster up a little, but the fish monster was too heavy. Although it couldn't use its strength on the shore, its weight alone was not easy to shake.
Seeing Chen Xuanzang and the other two being bounced back by the fish monster, the fishermen also realized that they couldn't just stand by and watch. Three strong guys volunteered to jump onto the seesaw, but their weight was still not enough and they were bounced around.
This time, there were more people.
However, because some people were too far away, only four people jumped onto the seesaw. They were still bounced by the strange fish and collided with the later ones. This operation failed again.
Chen Xuanzang, who was thinking of a solution, suddenly felt a vibration. The dried fish behind him had begun to be shaken into the air.
Looking in doubt at the direction of the vibration, it turned out to be an incredibly strong woman.
"Ah——————" The woman screamed and jumped onto the seesaw. She bounced the fish monster into the air by herself and fell towards the high platform.
Seeing this scene, the material scientists and physicists all looked like you are kidding me.
Let alone a fat woman weighing several hundred kilograms, she bounced the fish monster weighing several tons to a height of seven or eight meters. After all, there is a fish monster. Under the influence of mysterious power, it is not impossible that the body density is actually higher than it looks.
But how can the plank road built with some ancient craftsmanship withstand such a terrifying force? !
On the shore, the fake Taoist priest just got up and saw the fish monster flying towards him. He couldn't dodge in time and was smashed through the solid wood floor by the several-ton fish monster. It seemed that his body was pierced by broken wood and he fainted and fell into the water.
This fake Taoist priest who only thought about how to make money and caused the tragic deaths of many people finally received his retribution.
A strange scene happened. The fish monster did not flutter on the shore, but shrank in size and turned into a naked man with lifeless eyes.
The fishermen surrounded it with weapons. Although the fish monster had turned into a human form similar to their size, it was a monster that had eaten many people!
For a moment, although everyone had a fierce expression, no one dared to step forward.
Just when the noise was going on, Chen Xuanzang squeezed up: "Everyone listen to me! Let me handle it! I'm a professional exorcist!"
The fishermen gradually quieted down and looked at Chen Xuanzang.
Chen Xuanzang turned around, spread out a piece of cloth with many patches, and placed some props on the cloth.
Sitting cross-legged, Chen Xuanzang looked at the reserved fish monster in front of him and actually took out a book of "Three Hundred Children's Songs".
What surprised the heavens and the world even more was Chen Xuanzang's prop, which turned out to be... a music box? !
As an exorcist, shouldn't you use holy water, holy fire, etc. to purify the evil spirits? Even if you use the Western Church's set, the sense of disobedience is not as strong as yours!
"Child, child, why are you so bad~" Chen Xuanzang sang along with the music, and he didn't show any shyness at all.
Whether it was the fishermen or the fish monster, they all looked at Chen Xuanzang who was singing with a strange look on their faces: "Bullying, cheating, why do you do it~ Learn to be a good child, love each other~ Care is in the heart, full of color~ Good boy, come back soon~"
The fish monster who turned into a human form felt that it was embarrassing to listen to Chen Xuanzang singing naked, and it was sung to him, and it was a nursery rhyme.
Turning his head to one side, the fish monster didn't want to face Chen Xuanzang's fiery eyes.
The heavens and the worlds were also a little bit reluctant to look directly at it. Did Chen Xuanzang... have some strange thoughts after seeing the fish monster turn into a human form... seeing him naked?
And some worlds that spread the legend of Journey to the West felt that the image of Tang Monk was very broken.
Is Elder Tang actually such a pervert?
The fish monster turned his head away, but couldn't avoid Chen Xuanzang's fiery eyes.
What's more, when the fish monster wanted to lower its head to escape, Chen Xuanzang actually came directly in front of the fish monster. Looking at the strange and fiery eyes, the fish monster could no longer bear it, picked up the bag next to it and smashed it towards Chen Xuanzang.
Just as he was venting his anger, a hand grabbed his hair and dragged him back.
Being dragged to the back, followed by a decisive punch, the fierceness made the surrounding fishermen a little scared.
Then, the woman who suddenly appeared and beat the fish monster took out a piece of cloth that looked much more advanced than Chen Xuanzang, with mysterious patterns on it.
Covering the fish monster with cloth, it was obviously only one square of cloth, but it covered the whole person, and as the woman gathered, the bag formed by the cloth became smaller and smaller, and a terrifying cry came from it. The fish monster was actually compressed to the size of a fist.
As the movement disappeared, it was discovered that there was a small metal ball at the bottom of the bag. The woman took the ball off and opened it to find a fish-shaped doll, which looked like a fish monster.
Chen Xuanzang, who had recovered from his shock, looked at the fish monster that was easily dealt with by the woman, and couldn't help but feel a
little dazed. The woman walked up to Chen Xuanzang, who was a little timid, and said, "Are you also an exorcist?"
Chen Xuanzang nodded. After
taking a look at Chen Xuanzang, who was mediocre and even embarrassed just now, the woman asked, "Why?
" "The Exorcist Canon." Chen Xuanzang said without hesitation.
"The Exorcist Canon?" This domineering name surprised the woman.
Chen Xuanzang nodded, then picked up 300 nursery rhymes from the ground and handed them to the woman.
"The 300 Nursery Rhymes?" The woman suspected that Chen Xuanzang thought she was a fool.
The Exorcist Canon was clearly four words, and she knew these five words.
"It can awaken the truth, goodness and beauty in the hearts of monsters. As the saying goes, human nature is good, plus my unique interpretation!" Chen Xuanzang looked at the woman who was flipping through the 300 nursery rhymes and explained with a little pride.
"Who said that?"
Chen Xuanzang replied, "My master."
"Do you believe it?"
"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway."
Looking at the silly Chen Xuanzang in front of her, the woman took out a golden ring, and just fiddled with it casually, the golden ring became two, and then like a magic trick, she put the two separated golden rings together, and after letting go of one, it was like folding many golden rings, and many golden rings appeared out of thin air, and Chen Xuanzang was stunned.
"Actually, I also like this kind of children's things." The woman smiled and walked away, and the fishermen all gathered around, saying that the woman was the real exorcist.
Looking at the woman who was surrounded by stars, Chen Xuanzang walked away a little depressed.
Chen Xuanzang came to a busy city and looked at a fat man who was painting on the wall: "Master." In the world of Journey to the West, Tathagata
felt the Buddha's breath on this fat man and observed him carefully with doubt.
