Chapter 179 Child, How Could You Be So Wrong?
"it is good!!"
"Truly worthy of being called Young Master Li! He captured that wicked fish demon so easily!"
"That's great! Sister-in-law Gen can finally get her revenge!"
The villagers behind Li Qing witnessed everything that was happening before their eyes, and they were all extremely excited and thrilled. Their cheers resounded like thunder throughout the entire Shuita Village.
The villagers of Shuita Village, who were hiding in their rooms and peeping, also showed excited and happy expressions when they saw the fish demon being captured.
The fish demon, suspended in the air, struggled incessantly, trying to escape its restraints. It desperately slapped its large and powerful tail while twisting its fat body.
Li Qing calmly turned around, glanced at the villagers behind him, and said in a deep voice, "You all step back a bit, be careful not to get caught in the crossfire."
Upon hearing Li Qing's words, the villagers all stepped back, their faces showing a mixture of tension and anticipation.
Li Qing gripped the fishing rod tightly and swung it without hesitation. With his movement, the fish demon was violently flung towards the dock, landing with a dull thud.
The entire dock shook, but fortunately, the dock was of good quality and did not collapse.
Upon seeing the fish demon left on the dock, Sister Gen from Shuita Village immediately grabbed a sharp knife and rushed out, eager to avenge her husband.
Just as Sister Gen rushed to the fish demon, she saw that the fish demon had undergone a huge change.
The fish demon's seven- or eight-meter-long body continued to shrink, and the sharp spikes on its originally enormous body slowly disappeared.
In the end, when everything was over, what appeared before Sister Gen was only a completely naked man with nothing to cover him.
Faced with this scene, Sister Gen was completely stunned. Her eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief.
The fish demon actually turned into a human?
This was completely unexpected for her!
She stopped in her tracks, her right hand gripping the knife loosening slightly. She thought to herself, "What should I do now?"
You should know that killing a wild animal and taking a human life are two completely different things!
Sister Gen began to struggle violently inside; she had never imagined she would encounter such a difficult situation.
To kill or not to kill?
At this moment, Sister Gen was in a terrible inner struggle. Her gaze shifted back and forth between the fish demon Sha Wujing and the human being in front of her. No matter how she looked at it, the man in front of her was a living human being. How could she possibly take action against him?
Just as she was hesitating, Chen Xuanzang walked over with firm steps and went straight to the fish demon Sha Wujing.
Chen Xuanzang stood tall and straight, his eyes revealing a hint of determination. He stared intently at Li Qing and said in a deep voice, "Young Master Li, Miss Duan, monsters are not inherently evil. They also have a kind side. Please give me a chance to use love to influence this fish demon, to make him let go of his hatred, and to awaken the goodness deep within his heart!"
"You really are stubborn. This fish demon just ate someone, and you still want to try to reform him?"
"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately!"
“You…” Miss Duan was speechless at this Chen Xuanzang.
"You really won't give up until you've hit rock bottom!"
Li Qing looked at Chen Xuanzang and shook his head helplessly.
He really wanted to slap this self-righteous saint to death, but reason told him he couldn't. If he killed Chen Xuanzang now, the Buddha would probably come knocking on his door immediately, bringing him endless trouble.
We'll do this after we've completed all the other tasks.
At that time, he will no longer have any scruples and can act as he pleases.
"Alright, since you're so persistent, I'll give you a chance."
Li Qing stared at Chen Xuanzang and said coldly, "If you can influence this fish demon within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn and make it give up its evil intentions, I will spare its life. But if you fail, don't meddle in other people's business and leave here immediately."
Li Qing knew very well that with Chen Xuanzang's current abilities and cultivation, it was almost impossible for him to convert the fish demon.
His ridiculous book of 300 children's songs could not possibly have moved the fish demon.
The reason he made this condition was simply to make Chen Xuanzang face reality and stop arguing.
"Thank you, Young Master Li, for giving me this opportunity."
After saying that, Chen Xuanzang immediately took out the book "Three Hundred Children's Songs" from his bundle.
Miss Duan, who was standing nearby, thought that Chen Xuanzang was going to take out some powerful magic weapon to persuade the fish demon, but she didn't expect him to just take out a tattered yellow book, which made her a little curious.
Could that yellow book contain some kind of powerful supernatural magic?
"Mr. Chen, what is this book of yours?"
Miss Duan asked with some curiosity.
"Oh, Miss Duan is asking about this book? This book was passed down to me by my master, who said it can awaken the true, good, and beautiful in the hearts of demons!"
As he spoke, Chen Xuanzang picked up the yellow book and handed it to Miss Duan.
"Three Hundred Children's Songs?"
Upon seeing the words on the cover of the yellow book, Miss Duan looked at Chen Xuanzang with a strange expression, as if she were looking at a fool.
Then, ignoring Chen Xuanzang, she walked to Li Qing's side, leaned close to Li Qing's ear, and whispered, "Is this Chen Xuanzang a little mentally unstable? Is he really an exorcist?"
"Don't worry about it..."
"Village chief, have someone bring over an incense burner and a stick of incense," Li Qing said.
"No problem, I'll have someone go get it right away."
......
A moment later, a villager brought over an incense burner and incense.
On the other side, Chen Xuanzang was also ready. He knelt on a tattered cloth, with "Three Hundred Children's Songs" placed in front of him. Opposite him was the fish demon Sha Wujing, who was draped in a piece of hemp cloth.
This piece of cloth was also given to the fish demon by someone Li Qing had someone deliver it, since it was too much of an eyesore for a naked man to be waving around in front of him.
After being thrown onto the dock by Li Qing, the fish demon quickly reverted to human form. Strangely, it remained unusually calm throughout, showing no signs of resistance or struggle.
The fish demon, which had just come ashore, seemed to have lost all its power in an instant. Compared with its fierce and brutal appearance in the water, it was like a completely different "demon"!
At this moment, it looks like a soulless shell, lying there silently, at the mercy of others.
"Alright, please begin your performance, Chen Xuanzang."
Li Qing waved his hand and said, "Light the incense!"
As the incense was lit, the countdown to the end of the incense stick's life officially began.
Seeing the incense lit, Chen Xuanzang calmly opened "Three Hundred Children's Songs" and began to persuade the fish demon.
It seems he is very confident in the "Three Hundred Children's Songs" that his master gave him.
"Child, child, how could you be so wicked?"
"Deception, deception, why did you do it?"
"Learn to be a good child, and love each other."
