Monster Hunt: A Dream in the Pan

Just after noon, Mr. Zhuang arrived at the gate of Fulu Village.After a while, the village chief also came.I only heard the village chief say: Mr. Zhuang, the brat was injured the day before yesterday, but fortunately he is fine.I don't know what Mr. Zhuang thinks of Tianran.

Mr. Zhuang replied: I think nature has changed a lot compared to before, and I don't know if this change is good or bad.

The village head asked again: "Mr. Zhuang, you will give a big job to the brat?"

Mr. Zhuang shook his head and said: The time has not yet come.Maybe it's time for him to go to Chang'an.I will wait for him in Chang'an.After speaking, he left.

The village chief pondered Mr. Zhuang's words and found it very reasonable.

Here Mu Tianran was still walking back and forth in his own room, so he asked: Shaozi, let me ask you, do you know if there are any demons around our village?

The spoon replied: Naturally, there are many kinds of demons.What kind do you mean?

Mu Tianran thought for a while and said: Of course it is a demon that harms people.

The spoon replied: Of course there is pull.But naturally you ask this why?

Mu Tianran said: I'm just asking.Well, spoon, tell me quickly.

Shaozi thought for a while before saying: I heard from other demons that there is a ghost forest a hundred miles away from our village, and it is said that there are snake demons haunting it.As for whether there is really a snake demon, I don't know.

Mu Tianran said to himself: Ghost Shadow Forest?Looks like I'm going to have to go.After speaking, he slipped away while the spoon was not paying attention.

After finally coming to the ghost forest, I found myself lost.In desperation, I had to look around the forest to see if I could find a trace of human smoke.Fortunately, a woodcutter passed by here at this time, so Mu Tianran quickly stepped forward and asked: Brother, I want to ask, do you know where there is an inn where you can stay?

The woodcutter replied: Brother, it’s not that I didn’t tell you.But there are often monsters here, so I advise you to leave early.

As soon as Mu Tianran heard that there was a demon, he asked: Brother, do you know where this demon often appears?

The woodcutter thought for a while and replied: I remember there is a tavern not far ahead, you can go and have a look.After speaking, he left.

Mu Tianran was very glad that he finally found a place.So he hurried forward.After walking for a while, a tavern appeared in front of me.As soon as he walked into the tavern, a middle-aged man came over with a smile and asked: I wonder what the guest officer does here?

Mu Tianran replied: Oh, the shopkeeper is like this.I got lost in the forest here. I finally saw your tavern and wanted to ask for a drink. I hope the shopkeeper will show mercy.

When the man heard that it was like this, he replied: It's easy to say.So he asked Mu Tian to sit down first, and went to the back kitchen to prepare food.

Not long after the shopkeeper came out.With wine and vegetables in hand, put them on the table.Seeing this, Mu Tianran said: Shopkeeper, how long has your tavern been open?Why have I never seen anyone mention it?

The shopkeeper replied: It's normal that no one knows, after all, my shop is located in the depths of the forest, as long as I hear the words "ghost forest", no one dares to come, let alone come to eat.I was lucky enough to meet you, guest officer, today.Ha ha……

Mu Tianran replied: So that's the case.As for the shopkeeper, do you know that there are monsters around here?

The shopkeeper shook his head and asked: Demon?What demon?

Mu Tianran replied in a low voice: Of course it is a thousand-year-old snake demon.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: You are really joking, old man, I have opened a tavern here for so many years, and I have never encountered anything, let alone monsters, even if there are, it is impossible for me to appear here.

Mu Tianran said unconcernedly: I also heard it from other places.Shopkeeper, don't be angry.

The shopkeeper smiled and didn't speak.

Seeing this, Mu Tianran could only eat something first.But after taking a bite, I felt that something was wrong, and I only felt that the person in front of me was a little blurry.So he said: shopkeeper, it's really strange, why did I get drunk after just one glass of wine?And why did you, the shopkeeper, even change your appearance? When did you become so tall and big?

The snake demon smiled and said: Little brother, haven't you been looking for the snake demon?Now that I'm here, are you happy?

When Mu Tianran heard this, he quickly stepped back a few steps and shouted: You...you are not a shopkeeper, but a snake demon.Well, you snake monster, how dare you lie to me.If Xiaoye catches you, you will die.

The snake demon laughed loudly and said, "Little brother, I'll let you catch me before you catch me."After speaking, he grabbed Mu Tianran and locked him aside.

Mu Tianran wanted to cry but thought that he was so unlucky, why did he meet the snake demon?Hey, bad start.

The snake demon looked at Mu Tianran with a bitter face, not to mention how happy he was.So he suggested: Little brother, why don't you make a deal with me.As long as you agree, how about I let you go?

Mu Tianran replied: What deal?

So the snake demon said: "Little brother, I think you are a good-looking man, why don't you marry me so that I won't hurt you, what do you think?"

When Mu Tianran thought of marrying a snake demon, he immediately shook his head and refused: No, I can't marry you.I already have someone in my heart, and he will come to save me in no time.You just wait and see.

The snake demon said: Well, then I will kill the person you like, so that you will marry me.

After hearing this, Mu Tianran hoped that Yang Zhenzheng would come to save him earlier, otherwise he would be eaten by the snake demon.

While Mu Tianran was praying, a voice suddenly came and the man said: What an auspicious tavern.It's a pity for such a good name.After speaking, he walked in slowly.Seeing a man in blue and white walking in, Mu Tianran shouted: Hey, Yang Zhenzhen, you are finally here, come and save me.

Yang Renzhi looked up and saw a man tied to a pillar, so he asked, "Brother, do we know each other?"

After hearing this, Mu Tianran suddenly remembered that this was the first time he and Yang Zhengzheng met, of course he didn't know him anymore.

The snake demon here watched the conversation between the two, and asked: "Little brother, don't you have someone you like?"But this one doesn't seem to know you.Are you lying to me?

Mu Tianran's head suddenly grew dizzy, and he could only shout flatteringly: "Yang Zhengzheng... No, that's not right."I said my husband, I just quarreled with you and ran away from home, why did you come to me now.Really.It hurts so much.After speaking, he pretended to cry.

Yang Renzhi looked at the cry of the opposite person, and felt very funny in his heart.So he replied: Since you know that I am your husband-in-law, why don't you come here soon, are you still waiting for me to pick you up?

Mu Tianran smiled and said: Well, I'll be right over.But he couldn't untie the rope on his body, so he could only look at Yang Renzhi pitifully.

Seeing this, Yang Renzhi cast a spell, and the rope on Mu Tianran disappeared instantly.Mu Tianran quickly ran to Yang Renzhi's side, and said quietly: "Hey, Yang Zhenzhen, let me tell you, the one in front of you is a snake demon."You have to be careful.

Yang Renzhi nodded.Then he said to the snake demon: What a boa constrictor spirit, you have been circling here for a long time, absorbing human spirits, and I met you today, you will definitely eliminate harm for the people.

The snake demon replied disapprovingly: You, a scholar, dare to say big words.Alright, if you're looking for death, then you can't blame me.After speaking, he rushed up.

Seeing this, Yang Renzhi threw out the fire talisman to resist, and the snake demon immediately swept it away with its snake tail. Seeing this, Yang Renzhi grabbed Mu Tianran's shoulder and moved it aside so as not to hurt the innocent.Mu Tianran watched Yang Renzhi fight with the snake demon, feeling very anxious, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do now, so he could only continue watching.

Before he knew it, Yang Renzhi had been fighting with the snake demon for a long time, and suddenly Mu Tianran said: "Yang is serious, as the saying goes, when you hit a snake, you hit seven inches."

After hearing this, Yang Renzhi felt that it was very reasonable, so he started looking for a place, but he did find it unexpectedly.Throwing a fire talisman, the snake demon screamed and ran away.

Yang Renzhi still wanted to catch up, but was caught by Mu Tianran.I saw Mu Tianran said: Hey, Yang Zhengzheng, thanks to you this time.If it weren't for you, I might have been eaten by the snake demon.

Yang Renzhi smiled and said, "Didn't someone say that I was his husband-in-law just now? Why don't you call me husband-in-law now?"

After hearing this, Mu Tianran blushed and said, "This, that... oh, I didn't yell like that just to confuse the snake demon. Could it be that Yang Zhenzhen, you really want me to call you your husband?"

Yang Renzhi quickly waved his hands and said: Forget it, I don't want people to misunderstand.Well, you're already fine, so I'll take you back first.As for the snake demon, we will get rid of it next time we meet.

Mu Tianran nodded.In this way, Yang Renzhi sent Mu Tianran out of the ghost forest, and Mu Tianran wanted to invite Yang Renzhi to sit in the village.Yang Renzhi had no choice but to go together.

On the way back to the village, Mu Tianran kept talking about how good his village was, and the village chief's grandfather was also a nice person.

Yang Renzhi asked: What about your parents?

Mu Tianran replied: As long as I can remember, I only have the village head and grandpa.As for the parents, I haven't seen them.

Yang Renzhi quickly apologized: I'm sorry, I don't know, don't be angry.

Mu Tianran smiled and said: It's okay, I'm already used to it.But when Yang Zhen arrives in our village, if the village head grandpa asks me, just say that I got lost and I was saved by you.If the grandpa of the village chief knew that I had gone to the Ghost Forest, he would be very worried.

Yang Renzhi replied: OK, I promise you.

Not long after, Mu Tianran and the others arrived at the gate of the village.I saw the three characters "Fulu Village" written on the gate of the village.Yang Renzhi said: The name of your village is quite good.

Mu Tianran replied with his head held high and his chest held high: Of course, this is the place where I was born, of course it's easy.

Yang Renzhi looked at the smug face of the person in front of him, and couldn't help but shook his head.

Seeing this, Mu Tianran asked: Yang Zhengzheng, what are you laughing at?

Yang Renzhi replied: You look cute.

Mu Tianran shouted: Yang Zhenzhen, you actually compared me to a girl.I really can't see that you are such a person.snort……

Yang Renzhi saw that Mu Tianran was angry, and immediately said at a loss: I didn't mean that, don't be angry.I really think you are cute, I don't think of you as a girl.

Mu Tianran suddenly laughed and said: Haha, Yang Zhenzhen, you are too easy to deceive.Well, let's hurry into the village.After speaking, he dragged Yang Renzhi and walked in.
