Chapter VI
The yellow sand rushed to the sky, and the man on the side suddenly stretched out his arms and giggled.
A moment later, Xia Yitong and Bai Xing finished spitting out the sand in their mouths, and found that there was an extra person in front of them at some point.
The man was small, like a young girl of twelve or thirteen years old. But his hair was gray, his forehead was wrinkled at the corners of his eyes, and he was carrying a pair of huge horns behind him.
Xia Yitong was pondering which ethnic minority's special costume this was, when Bai Xing suddenly took a big step back and made an exaggerated ninety-degree bow to the person.
Now Xia Yi's pupils are clouded, this little grandmother is his superior? Didn't he say that he was the biggest official among the monsters in this city?
The little grandmother looked at them coldly, turned around and gently touched the man's cheek, and her eyes revealed a gentleness that was completely different from Fang Cai.
Bai Xing introduced himself: "Hello Venerable, I am the captain of the Demon Hunting Team of the Qishu Pavilion and the acting demon division of the city, I don't know ...... he and you are."
"The demon hunting team will catch the monsters, when will the people be under your control?" the little grandmother interrupted him, her voice not angry and arrogant.
"Of course, the affairs of mankind are not in our hands, but ......"
The little grandmother chuckled, took the man's hand and put it on the horn behind her, the man's dry cheeks instantly bulged, and his body was much fatter, although his face was still bloodless, but at least he looked like a terminally ill human being.
And the little grandmother's hair seems to be much whiter.
"But if it is after the death of a human being, the demon formed by bone cultivation is still under our control. ”
As soon as the sound of white punishment fell, a golden light suddenly flashed in the little grandmother's eyes, and the wind suddenly rose in the room, and the yellow sand in the sky surrounded several of them, as if they were in the center of a tornado.
Her angry gaze swept towards Bai Xing, staring at him viciously, and approaching step by step.
"Who do you say is a monster? Is the current demon hunting ability so low? I can't even see the spiritual power!"
Bai Xing raised his hands to his ears to make a gesture of surrender, retreating to soothe her emotions.
"Don't get excited, listen to me, this place is an urban area, and if you appear as a divine beast, humans can't stand it. ”
Seeing that he was about to retreat into the wind and sand, the little grandmother stopped and snorted coldly: "You also know what I am? When I came to this world, your grandfather was not born yet!"
Bai Xing rubbed his nose, took a few steps forward to avoid being sucked in by the wind, and then pretended to be a knowledge-seeking young man and said: "I heard that there was a mythical beast in ancient times, whose name was Chenghuang, its shape was like a fox, its back had horns, and it lived for 2,000 years. But I only learned today that the one who has a lifespan of 2,000 years is actually Chenghuang, and as for whether others can get the lifespan of 2,000 years, it depends on whether it is willing to give it, right?"
The little grandmother's body stiffened, her face became more ugly, the wind around her spun more rapidly, the windows on the wall opened inward in vain, and the pictures, calligraphy and paintings on the wall were all sucked into the wind.
Xia Yitong desperately hugged a pillar, feeling that her feet were unstable and about to fly, the triangular pendant around her neck turned over in the wind. Suddenly, everything in front of him seemed to be blurred, and only the figures of the little grandmother, Bai Xing, and the man were particularly clear.
The little grandmother was surrounded by a golden light that floated like fireflies, and behind the man there was a small dark purple dim light, and the white punishment closest to her was behind a huge purple light that almost touched the roof.
The golden light around the little grandmother suddenly flowed rapidly, like a group of golden fish surrounding her, and her voice seemed to come from all directions at the same time, "I can give it to whoever I want, and it is not under your control if it is a human being, unless you want this human under your feet to be buried with you!"
Hearing the word burial, Xia Yitong quickly went through the deeds of her life in her mind, and she began to regret that she should not challenge the difficult work of demon hunting.
Brother Zuo Yuming, this time it's your turn to avenge me, woo......
Just when Xia Yitong felt that he was dead, Bai Xing still said calmly: "You just said that I can't see spiritual power, in fact, now the scientific and technological progress of our monsters is very fast, as long as you hang this pendant, you can see the spiritual power of others regardless of whether you have demon power or not." He pointed to the position of his neck, and then continued, "But I remember that in the era when you were born, it should have been a very difficult spell to get a glimpse of spiritual power, and now you seem to be in your twilight years, I don't know if you can still use that spell?"
The little grandmother was shocked, with a panicked look on her face. She looked at the thin man behind her, who was dancing happily at her, giggling like a baby in his mouth.
The little grandmother's eyes showed infinite tenderness, and she snorted coldly at Bai Xing: "I know that he has reached the end of his life many years ago, but our Chenghuang clan has the ability to continue the life of mankind, and I am willing to use my life to save his life, can you manage it?"
Bai Xing had clearly reminded her twice that this man was no longer the person she thought he was, just a monster cultivated from that person's bones, but she still didn't understand, or rather, she didn't seem to want to understand.
There is no way, then there is only some force.
His left hand crossed his shoulder and grabbed behind him, and a blue glowing Soul Eater Knife appeared in his hand, this time he didn't let it turn into a Spirit Piercing Spear, because compared to the Spirit Piercing Spear, the Spirit Eater Knife was more lethal, so big that a bone spirit like this one, which was less than a hundred years old, could be destroyed with a light touch.
Sure enough, he saw vigilance in Chenghuang's eyes, and she roared, and suddenly turned into a huge golden fox, with two huge horns behind her back, like two shiny twin knives pinned to her back.
Cheng Huang preemptively struck and jumped up and pounced on Bai Xing.
Bai Xing jumped sideways and was already behind the man, he hugged the man by the shoulder, and the Spirit Devouring Knife rested on the man's neck.
The man burst into tears.
Cheng Huang didn't expect his first move to be hijacking.
Its eyes were blood-red, its face bared its sharp teeth, and it said, "I'm going to kill you." ”
The white knife was closer to the man's neck.
Cheng Huang hurriedly lowered his ears and lay on the ground and said, "Don't kill him, don't kill him, I can give you whatever you want." ”
Bai Xing took out the lighter from his pocket with his other hand, and the metal lighter lit a faint blue fire, and the small flame turned into a scorching red and then a sunset gold in his golden eyes, and Bai Xing's voice seemed to come from a long distance, "I just need you to remember something." ”
Cheng Huang felt that the firelight was so warm, just like his little hand that was attached to her navel at that time.
It slowly closed its eyes and had a dream, in which it was still a "little fox" guarding the Qin family's temple......
"Dad, do you think there really are divine beasts in our temple?" a childish voice asked.
"Yes, of course there is, it was someone from our ancestors who became immortals and was sent down to protect us. A middle-aged man's voice replied.
"Why didn't the divine beast protect the ancestral tablet, resulting in a lot of them being gnawed by rats. ”
"Shut up, shut up, how can you say such a thing!"
"Isn't it gnawed?"
"That's called accidental damage. The man corrected, then sighed and said, "I don't know if the rat poison that was placed in the tribute a few days ago is useful." ”
It hid under the table, its abdomen aching, thinking that it was a divine beast, or the kind that was born with a high status and a small number, and it was really aggrieved that it was poisoned because of eating an offering fruit. These human beings keep saying that the offering fruit is used to worship it, and in the end they still drugged the offering fruit, and a group of liars will die together.
It gritted its teeth, and with the last of its strength lunged at the little foot in front of the table, biting down on his ankle.
The boy screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
And its bite has used all its strength, and it feels like its eyelids weigh a thousand pounds in a daze, and it can't hold it anymore.
In the haze, it heard the middle-aged man ask, "What's wrong?"
A slippery piece of fabric suddenly covered its body, and the childish voice said, "No, it's okay." Daddy, I suddenly remembered that Master asked me to go to him today, so I left first. ”
Waking up again was by a creek.
It felt the indescribable bitterness in its mouth, and tried to open its eyes, and found that there were many bottles and jars on the grass in front of it, and those bottles and jars were written on them, andrographis, Polygonum multiflori, mandala, honeysuckle, broken intestine grass, etc.
The boy's happy voice sounded overhead: "You're awake! I don't know what medicine can cure rat poison, so I fed you all the medicine in the house." ”
Suddenly it felt more pain in its stomach, numbness in its limbs, and a swelling in its head.
"Why do you have such things as mandala and broken intestine grass in your house?"
It ran to the stream and vomited, and when it was finished, it found that the boy was looking at it with two big grape-like eyes, and then he realized that he seemed to be talking in front of him......
"The vixen! You are the legendary vixen!" he exclaimed excitedly, "I saved you, can you be my daughter-in-law in the future?" I heard that as long as you ask the vixen to be your daughter-in-law, it will send you money, officials and women every day. ”
She rolled her eyes and fainted again, and her last sentence was, "Who did you listen to?" ”
"My second brother said that it was said in "Strange Tales from Liaozhai". ”
When it woke up again, it felt much better, with a warm, soft, small hand, gently caressing its belly, and it felt very comfortable.
"Fox Fairy, Fox Fairy, you're awake. When he saw that he opened his eyes, he jumped up from the bed with joy, and ran to the table with a bowl of chicken soup.
"Fox fairy, drink some chicken soup to make up for it. ”
The fox fairy was much better than the fox spirit, and it stood up with shaky fur and licked the chicken soup in his hand.
Well, it tastes good.
"Fox fairy, you slept in my bed and drank my soup, you are my daughter-in-law, you can't change your hexagram. ”
When the "little fox" on the bed heard this, he almost choked to death.
Because the rat poison plus the broken intestine grass and the mandala caused it to die and lose its vitality, since this little doll named Qin Mu decided that it was a fox fairy, it left it to eat and drink for nothing.
Fortunately, Qin Mu's family is well-off, and the chicken, duck and fish are not the same every day. It's his father's seven aunts and wives who make trouble, and often make the family restless.
One day he ran back to the room crying, hugged it and said, "Little fox fairy, it's not good, my mother...... My mother poisoned Aunt Seven to death, you can save her quickly, if she is really dead...... Then my mother is going to be killed!"
So, it secretly ran to the morgue to renew the life of Aunt Seven.
When he came back, it fell into his arms weakly, and he hugged it and cried even more uncomfortably than before, "Little fox fairy, don't die, you are dead, I really just saved my mother and my daughter-in-law." ”
It felt depressed, and for some reason, it suddenly wanted to bite him.
Bite as much as you say, sweet blood slid down the back of his hand onto the golden fur on its chest.
He didn't feel any pain, he laughed happily, laughed and cried and said, "A little harder, a little harder, as long as you're okay, you can bite me twice." ”
He was 12 years old when his father was dismissed for the murder of his wife and concubine.
The family is in the middle of the road, the concubines are scattered, the father is panicking day by day, the second brother is a mediocre talent, and the family's savings have been almost used in less than a year.
Qin Mu could no longer serve chicken, duck and fish meat, but he would chop a chicken leg in half, give it the big one, and eat the small one.
One day, he suddenly said to it, I want to get fame, I can be an official if I have fame, and I will be rich if I become an official, Xiaohuxian, you can steal the exam papers for me.
It nodded, and sneaked into the palace through the wall, stealing a decree and coming back.
He trembled and opened the holy decree and learned that the emperor planned to support the silkworm industry, so he hurriedly persuaded his father to take some money out and contract a silkworm workshop.
Sure enough, I made a small profit in the coming year.
But before he could be happy for two days, a thunderbolt struck the silkworm house and burned his hard work clean.
He said to it, "I'm not a worker, no matter how hard I try, it's all in vain, or you can just give me some money."
Cheng Huang's body moved, and a few sparkling ingots were conjured.
Qin Mu happily hugged Chenghuang and said, "You must know that you are so capable, what else do I steal exam papers." ”
But the next day, he was beaten up by Yichun Yuan and thrown out of the door.
"Little rabbit cub, dare to fool the old lady with loess clods. ”
The old bustard stood at the door with his hands on his hips, and publicized how his mother poisoned his father's concubine, how his second brother owed money and did not pay it back, and how he went to the kiln and did not give money.
Qin Mu felt that it was really boring to live.
He said to it, I hope that now I can have a beautiful girl, accept everything I used to have, live a small life with me, not to be rich and rich, but to live forever.
It was transformed into a teenage or thirteen-year-old girl, the human form it should have been at its age.
But he hurriedly closed his eyes, wrapped her in a sheet, and said, "Don't look at indecent things, don't look at indecent things." ”
