Chapter 840: Chen Chen Xuanzang

"Daoist, thank you. Here is a little silver, and two thousand-year-old salted fish. Please accept them, Daoist!"

"Such precious things, I will not accept them!"

The village chief took out silver and salted fish to reward the Daoist priest. The Daoist priest returned the precious thousand-year-old salted fish to the village chief and then took the silver.

"Villagers, this is the monster that harmed your companion. It has already been caught by me. You all have grievances to report, and you have grudges to settle. How to deal with it, it's up to you!"

Afterward, the Daoist priest turned and said to the watching fishermen.

"Beat it to death!"

"Isn't it already dead?"

"Beat it to death again!"

"Take revenge!"

The fishermen were filled with righteous indignation. Even if the ancient fish had already been blown to death by gunpowder, it couldn't eliminate the hatred in their hearts.

"Everyone listen to me, you are all mistaken. It is not a monster; it is just a fish that is naturally docile, has a positive and optimistic personality, and has a very good character. It's just a pity that it grew a bit too big."

Just then, a man with messy hair stood out and refuted the fishermen.

"Who are you?"

The fishing village chief frowned and looked at the beggar-dressed man in front of him and asked.

"Eh, bad guy, who is this beggar? I feel he has no cultivation, but I also feel he is very powerful. What a strange sense of contradiction."

Lin Yueru had the same doubt as the village chief, but it was because Chen Chen Xuanzang gave her a very strange feeling.

"He is Chen Chen Xuanzang, a disciple of Tathagata. He hasn't stepped onto the path of cultivation yet, but he has the means left by Tathagata on him, so it's normal for you to feel strange."

Lin Fan looked at Chen Chen Xuanzang thoughtfully. Based on the magic power of Tathagata on him, Lin Fan deduced that Tathagata had the strength of an Immortal. He just didn't know if this was the strength of Tathagata's lower-world dharma body, or the strength of Tathagata himself.

"I am Chen Chen Xuanzang, an unordained disciple of the Mahayana Buddhist Sect, and a demon hunter who slays demons and eliminates evil."

The beggar-dressed Chen Chen Xuanzang tried to explain to the fishermen, but the indignant fishermen and the grieving families of the deceased couldn't listen to his words at all.

"Simply nonsense, he is clearly an accomplice of the monster. Hang him up and burn him to death!"

Because of Chen Chen Xuanzang's interference, the Daoist priest was nearly exposed, so in a fit of shame and anger, the priest slandered Chen Chen Xuanzang by claiming he was in league with the demons, and ordered the fishermen to hang him up.

"Brother Lin Fan, this Daoist priest is a bit too much. There is clearly no demonic energy on that ancient fish. He slandered it as a monster, and also implicated innocent people, and even incited the fishermen to burn him to death."

Zhao Linger frowned somewhat dissatisfied. This Daoist priest, in order to cheat money, had stopped at nothing. She hated this kind of person very much.

"Linger, don't worry. When the monster comes later, let Xu Mue kick that Daoist priest down and let him fight the monster!"

Lin Fan smiled and then gently comforted Zhao Linger.

"Me?"

Xu Xu Mue was stunned. She hadn't expected Lin Fan to ask her to kick the Daoist priest down.

"Don't you want to slay demons and uphold justice? But you must know that demons are not scary. After all, they are naturally opposed to humans, so no matter how they treat humans, it's normal. What's scarier than demons is the human heart. The human heart is sinister. This Daoist priest, in order to cheat money, disregards the safety of the fishermen and even wants to kill Chen Chen Xuanzang who is blocking his path to wealth. Isn't he even more deserving of death than the fish monster that kills people?"

Seeing Xu Xu Mue's puzzled look, Lin Fan explained earnestly. Xu Xu Mue knew that Lin Fan was guiding her, so she nodded to indicate she understood.

"Everyone listen, the monster has been beaten to death by me. It is absolutely safe here!"

At this time, in order to gain the trust of the fishermen, the Daoist priest not only guaranteed it with certainty but even kicked his disciple into the water to prove his words.

Seeing that the Daoist priest's disciple was fine, the fishermen finally felt relieved and jumped into the water to celebrate one after another.

"Bad guy? Are they crazy? Even if the monster is really removed, there's no need to be so happy, right?"

Lin Yueru found it hard to understand the act of dozens of fishermen jumping into the water to revel and celebrate at the same time. Was there a need to be so excited?

"Rely on the mountains to eat from the mountains, rely on the water to eat from the water. The monster ate a fisherman. Although they are sad, what they are actually more worried about is that there is a monster causing trouble in the water, so they can never think of fishing again, and their future life will not be able to be maintained. Now they think the monster is dead, they have avenged their companions, and the future trouble has been resolved, so of course they are happy."

"The monster is coming!"

Just as Lin Fan was explaining, Yao Yue suddenly pointed to the water in the distance and reminded him.

"Xu Mue, you go. When the monster approaches, kick that Daoist priest down."

"Yes!"

Xu Xu Mue listened to Lin Fan's instructions and immediately walked to the shore.

"Hey, it's dangerous, run quickly!"

Chen Chen Xuanzang, who was hung high up, also discovered the monster attacking from afar, so he shouted and yelled.

Unfortunately, the fishermen were indulged in singing and dancing, reveling and celebrating, and no one noticed him.

"Go to hell!"

Xu Xu Mue suddenly came behind the Daoist priest on the shore and kicked him flying more than ten meters away. With a splash, he fell into the water, just hitting the fish monster. Both the person and the monster were stunned.

"Wow, there's a monster!"

In the end, it was the Daoist priest who reacted first. After all, he had fallen directly on the head of the fish monster. Regardless of who kicked him, the Daoist priest shouted and swam toward the shore quickly. After the fish monster reacted, it also angrily chased after him.

"There's a monster!"

The fishermen also discovered the huge shadow chasing the Daoist priest, so they swam toward the shore one after another.

"You block it for me!"

Although the Daoist priest's magic power was low, his swimming speed was unexpectedly fast. He quickly overtook the last person, and that person happened to be his disciple. But at this moment, it was not the time to talk about the deep relationship between master and apprentice. He pulled his disciple and used him to swim faster.

As for his disciple, he was naturally swallowed by the angry fish monster in one bite.

"Save me, save me!"

The fishermen were about to swim ashore, and Lin Fan and the others also arrived at the shore. Although the Daoist priest's strength was not good, his eyesight was still there. Naturally, he saw the extraordinary nature of Lin Fan's group, so he asked for help loudly.

But not only was Lin Fan indifferent, even Zhao Linger and the others, who had softer hearts, didn't speak. They had seen the Daoist priest pulling his disciple to block disaster for himself just now, so they had no intention of saving him at all.

"Boom!"

The fish monster's tail slapped heavily on the water, using the force to leap high and fall toward the Daoist priest.

"Help!"

Discovering the shadow above his head, the Daoist priest was so scared that his liver and gallbladder were split, and he shouted heart-rendingly. But the fish monster swallowed the Daoist priest in one bite the moment it fell.

"Rise!"

Zhao Linger took out the Holy Spirit Bead cast by Lin Fan and mobilized the power of the water element to lift all the fishermen out of the water.

The fish monster used the same trick, slapping the water with its tail to leap high, wanting to swallow the fishermen lifted by the water spray in one bite.

"Trap!"

A water column suddenly appeared on the water surface, then turned into a water prison, trapping the leaping fish monster inside. ===== CHAPTER 842 =====
