Chapter 96: The Absurd Demon-Catching Tournament
Liu Yu and his companions left the thatched hut where they had taken shelter from the rain and continued on their journey. They hadn't gone far when they arrived at a bustling village. A large sign stood at the village entrance, reading "Demon-Catching Gathering."
Liu Yu curiously went over and saw a group of people gathered together, discussing something animatedly.
A burly man waved his fist and said, "This time we must capture all the monsters and bring peace to our village!"
A skinny man next to him chimed in, "That's right, we can't let the monsters cause any more trouble!"
Liu Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You think you can catch demons?"
Upon hearing his words, everyone turned around and glared at him angrily.
An old man walked over, looked Liu Yu up and down, and said, "Young man, don't underestimate us. The monsters in this village have caused you all a lot of trouble."
Liu Yu waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, then I'd like to see how you catch demons."
The demon-catching competition began, and the first to step onto the stage was a guy who called himself a demon-catching master. He was dressed in strange clothes, holding a peach wood sword, and muttering incantations.
Suddenly, a rabbit darted out of the bushes. The demon hunter jumped in fright and shouted, "A monster is coming!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and Liu Yu laughed until tears streamed down his face: "This is the demon-catching master you were talking about? He's even afraid of rabbits!"
Then, another person came with a net, saying he was going to catch flying monsters. A gust of wind blew his net away, and he chased after it, panting heavily.
Liu Yu laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight: "This is too funny!"
Just then, a child ran over to Liu Yu and said, "Big brother, can you help us catch the demon?"
Liu Yu patted his chest and said, "No problem, watch me!"
He pretended to draw some symbols on the ground, then shouted, "Monster, come out!"
After waiting for a long time, nothing happened.
Xu Xian chuckled to himself, "Liu Yu, this isn't good either."
Liu Yu said awkwardly, "Don't worry, the monster might be scared by my aura."
Just then, a crow suddenly flew across the sky and cawed twice.
Liu Yu pointed at the crow and said, "Look, that's a monster!"
Everyone was speechless.
Bai Suzhen couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Let me do it."
With a gentle flick of her sleeve, a puff of smoke rose. When the smoke dissipated, a small fox appeared before everyone.
Everyone exclaimed, "A monster!"
The little fox said pitifully, "I'm not a monster, I just got lost."
Liu Yu stepped forward and said, "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you."
It turns out that the little fox had wandered into the village by mistake because the forest path was blocked.
Everyone then realized it was a misunderstanding.
The demon-catching competition ended in such an absurd way.
Liu Yu and the others left the village and continued walking forward.
As evening fell, they arrived at an inn.
As soon as he entered the inn, Liu Yu shouted, "Waiter, bring me a few superior rooms, and prepare some good wine and food!"
The waiter quickly replied, "Alright, please wait a moment, sir."
Soon, the food and drinks were served.
Liu Yu picked up her chopsticks and started eating, only to burn herself so badly that she stuck out her tongue.
Xiaoqing said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, slow down, no one's going to take it from you."
Liu Yu took a sip of wine and said, "This wine tastes really good."
While we were eating, we heard arguing coming from the next table.
A fat man said, "Why is there a fly in your dish?"
Another skinny man said, "Impossible, our kitchen is very clean."
The two argued fiercely and almost came to blows.
Liu Yu went over to mediate: "Stop arguing, stop arguing, I'll just make you a new plate."
The fat man and the thin man then stopped.
After finishing their meal, Liu Yu and the others returned to their rooms to rest.
In the middle of the night, Liu Yu was awakened by a snoring sound.
He got up and saw that Xu Xian was sleeping soundly, snoring loudly.
Liu Yu shook her head helplessly, covered her head with the blanket, and continued to sleep.
The next morning, they continued their journey.
On the way, Liu Yu saw a street performer breaking a large stone on his chest.
Liu Yu said, "I can do that too."
He lay on the ground and asked Xiaoqing to bring him a large rock.
As a result, Xiaoqing let go, and the stone fell down, causing Liu Yu to scream in pain.
Everyone burst into laughter.
They continued their wonderful journey amidst laughter and joy...
