"What do you mean!?" Zhu Zhi was terrified in his heart.

"What do you mean?" He Qianjue lowered his head slightly and smiled inscrutablely, "That's what you thought in your heart." ”

When listening to He Qianjue say this, Zhu Zhi immediately remembered his parents, Zhu Zhi's parents were doctors, when he was eighteen years old, he died in a car accident, they drove on the ring road, because of brake failure and other reasons, rushed out of the road, fell directly down the cliff, and even people and cars were turned into ashes in the explosion and flames.

At that time, the police designated it as an accident, although Zhu Zhi and his sister were grief-stricken, but life is always sad in the world, the world is impermanent, birth, old age, sickness and death are the norm, Zhu Zhi has already seen it after he came out, but today, this strange man named He Qianjue has overturned the "truth" that Zhu Zhi has always thought of, and turned the world upside down.

"What do you say...... Are you saying that my parents didn't die in an accident?" Zhu Zhi couldn't help but clench his fists, he wanted to hear what tricks this guy named He Qianjue could come up with, "In that case, then you can tell me...... How the hell did they die!?"

"Before I talk about the cause of your parents' deaths, let me tell you a story. In the face of Zhu Zhi's questioning, He Qianjue was not in a hurry and started his own trick, he smiled and said: "The story of the snake and the woodcutter." ”

So next, He Qianjue told the story of the woodcutter and the snake that he had told to Zhuo Qianqian again to Zhu Zhi and the cold cicada in He Qianjue's arms.

A story with a strong sense of mystery.

"In fact, there are two versions of the story of the snake, one is the human version, and the other is the version circulated among the demon clans. He Qianjue unconsciously reached out and stroked the head and ears of the little rabbit in his arms, and the rabbit trembled in his arms, and shook his ears, He Qianjue said, "The version I told you before was circulated among human beings, so in the eyes of the demon clan, what is going on with this matter?"

Zhu Zhi didn't speak, kneeling opposite He Qianjue and listening carefully to his story, as if he had been attracted by He Qianjue's story.

He Qianjue continued: "The story is very simple, we just need to go back to the beginning of this story, and then think carefully, when the woodcutter first met the snake in the mountains and forests, the snake was injured. ”

"Injured?" The cicada in He Qianjue's arms suddenly made a sound, and as soon as he spoke, Zhu Zhi, who was listening carefully to the story on the other side, was startled, and his eyes involuntarily moved to the little rabbit in He Qianjue's arms, Zhu Zhi was stunned and said: "It can talk! This toy can talk!"

"I'm not a toy, my name is Han Cicada!" Han Cicada lay in He Qianjue's hand, put his paw on He Qianjue's fingers, and shouted at Zhu Zhi opposite.

He Qianjue reached out and touched the rabbit ears of the cicada to comfort him: "Be quiet, listen to me." ”

The two of them put away their voices, quieted down and stopped making a sound, and continued to listen to He Qianjue's narration, He Qianjue said: "The snake had not yet transformed at that time, there was no human body, his body was a very huge black snake, it is said that the body is as thick as a bucket, and the length is about seven or eight meters...... That was about the size of a thousand years ago, and it should be bigger now. ”

"The snake is a python, non-venomous, although it is huge, it is actually very agile, and it is good at grabbing its prey in an instant and then strangling it to death and devouring it. He is a very powerful youkai, ordinary people or animals can't hurt him, only other youkai can hurt him. ”

Zhu Zhi seemed to understand something, and clapped his hands violently and said, "You mean, there are other monsters in the mountains and forests?"

"Yes, that's right. He Qianjue nodded slightly, "Yan Snake is a snake, a cold-blooded animal, this creature is actually quite hungry, ordinary snakes eat food once a week is enough, and they will not necessarily starve to death if they don't eat for a month, not to mention that Yan Snake is a monster, assuming that he has already opened the valley, it is even less likely to be starved to death, how can he choose to devour other humans when the woodcutter brings him some small animals or meat every two days or even every day?"

As soon as He Qianjue said this, Zhu Zhi suddenly realized and said in surprise: "So...... The man-eating monster in the mountains and forests is not a snake, but another one!?"

"Yes...... However, I don't know what kind of youkai it is, and it is not mentioned in the version that has been circulated among our demon clans. ”

He Qianjue said: "The monster and the snake probably fought each other for some reason, they both lost, and no one could help anyone, but the snake was saved by the woodcutter, not only with herbs but also with something to eat every day." However, the other youkai does not have this treatment, what should he do when he is hungry? ”

"But this youkai is very smart, and I guess it should have a certain ability to imitate voices, and he will learn the skill of talking snakes, using special language and sounds to attract passers-by...... His appearance may also be similar to that of snakes, which is why he is mistaken for a giant snake. ”

The woodcutter didn't know about the snake and another monster fighting each other, and when he heard these terrible rumors, he naturally thought that the snake did it, and when he went up the mountain with an axe to find the snake, he found the wrong monster. ”

"Found the wrong monster?" Zhu Zhi was completely caught up in the story told by He Qianjue, "Are you saying that what he saw was not the Yan Snake but another one?"

He Qianjue nodded, "That's right, maybe it was the monster that attracted the woodcutter with a sound similar to the snake, and the woodcutter saw the monster that might be somewhat similar to the snake, and he probably took the monster as a snake, and approached a real monster unsuspectingly, and the snake sensed the woodcutter's danger and quickly crawled over to save him." ”

He Qianjue said this, but he didn't speak anymore, he lowered his head and fell into silence, and Zhu Zhi, who was already listening, hurriedly asked, "Then what?

"Then?" He Qianjue shook his head, "I don't know, this matter will be clearer if you ask the person concerned." ”

"I don't understand, do you mean to let me ask the Yan Snake?" Zhu Zhi said strangely.

"The master that your sister Zhu Shuyi recognizes is Yan Snake, if you ask him, maybe you will get an answer more quickly. ”

Thinking that the master recognized by his sister was actually a snake, Zhu Zhi had goosebumps all over his body, and thought that He Qianjue in front of him might also be some kind of monster, his goosebumps were even more, and he fell to the ground, Zhu Zhi trembled and said: "I still don't understand, what does this story have to do with the cause of my parents' death?"

"Of course it does. He Qianjue said, he tilted his head, "You and your sister are the descendants of the woodcutter, don't you understand?"

When Zhu Zhi heard this, he was a little stunned: "Huh?"

He Qianjue continued: "Although I don't know who won and who lost in the end of the battle between the monster and the snake, since there is a human version of the story of the snake and the woodcutter circulating, it means that the snake has successfully protected the woodcutter from the hands of the monster, so that the woodcutter survived, and he can get married and have children in the future, generation after generation, and tell the story of himself and the snake to future generations, but he doesn't know that the spread of this kind of story will bring disaster to himself and his descendants. ”

At this time, the cold cicada, who had been listening to the story silently, said: "It is estimated that the food in the mouth was snatched away by the snake, and he was seriously injured and beaten, and the monster and the snake formed a grudge, and came to seek revenge from the snake every year, and by the way, the object of hatred was extended to the people cherished by the snake, such as the woodcutter and his descendants, who tried every means to eat you." Therefore, in order to protect the descendants of the benefactor, Yan Snake has followed your Zhu family for generations. ”

"Yes. He Qianjue also said, "He has spent almost his whole life protecting your family. ”

Zhu Zhi understood, his eyes widened in surprise, and he gasped: "Then the cause of death of my parents ......"

"Maybe it's the monster's revenge. Yan Snake was afraid that he would miss and fail to protect your parents, so he immediately accepted your sister as an apprentice and took it with him all the time. He Qianjue said, he squinted his eyes and laughed again, stared at Zhu Zhi and said, "But I'm very strange, Yan Snake didn't accept you as an apprentice, why...... Were you not there at the time?"

Zhu Zhi also seemed to figure it out, touched his chin and thought: "No, because soon after my parents died, I immediately went to the United States to study...... That's why the snake didn't have a chance to take me as an apprentice. ”

"I see...... Forget that, these things aside, I have to remind you of an important thing now. He Qianjue was still staring at Zhu Zhi, as if there was something interesting on him, and stared intently: "Seeing that your face is not good, Yintang is black, there must be a bloody disaster in the near future." ”

Zhu Zhi stared at He Qianjue strangely: "Do you monsters also look at faces?"

He Qianjue said: "I'm not a pure monster, I've learned the spells of cultivators before, and I know a little bit about the art of physiognomy, your luck won't be too good recently, maybe the monster will come to you and your sister in the near future, your sister has the personal protection of the snake, you are different, and you are likely to become the object of attention by the monster." ”

Zhu Zhi's heart was shocked, and he asked He Qianjue, "Can I really trust you?"

"You'd better not trust me too much. He Qianjue still smiled slyly, "It's better to believe in that snake than to believe in me." ”

"But ......" He Qianjue said and suddenly approached Zhu Zhi, he was too close, his beautiful face was enlarged in Zhu Zhi's sight, and the slight blood in his eyes made Zhu Zhi couldn't help but hold his breath, and then he heard He Qianjue say: "I have a way to make the snake and that monster ...... Forever disassociated with your Zhu family from generation to generation, in this way, there will be no more monsters to trouble you, and in the future, you and your sister's descendants will not have tragedies like your parents. ”

When Zhu Zhi heard this, his heart jumped, and he hesitated: "Is there really such a way?"

"Of course there is. He Qianjue's tone of voice was obviously seductive, and he smiled, "You just need to make a deal with me." ”

――――

He Qianjue did make a deal with Zhu Zhi later, basically He Qianjue wanted the word snake, he could think of a way for Zhu Zhi to let the word snake and the other monster lose again, and then Zhu Zhi went over to kill the monster and brought the snake over for He Qianjue to deal with.

It was very simple, but Zhu Zhi listened to it and asked repeatedly: "Can this really work?"

"You can go back and think about it, or test what your sister thinks, but don't tell her about me just yet. He Qianjue said, "After thinking about it, come back to this mirror to find me." ”

Zhu Zhi couldn't accept such a large amount of information for a while, and the whole person was still in a state of confusion, and after listening to He Qianjue's words, he would only nod stupidly.

"I said, sir, are you really sure to accept a thousand-year-old monster?" After He Qianjue sent Zhu Zhi's soul out of the mirror, Han Cicada, who had been silent, finally couldn't help but speak, rolling in He Qianjue's arms, "Sir, you can't get out of this mirror, because there is no aura, and your strength is quite poor, even if I go out every day to absorb some for you, I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with that big black snake!"

He Qianjue looked at him gently: "Are you worried about me?"

Han Cicada looked quite worried, pulling He Qianjue's clothes, "Of course I'm worried about you, I'm so worried!?"

"Ahh

The chilling cicada was suddenly full of black lines.

"I'm serious!" Han Cicada slapped He Qianjue's nose with her soft cotton paws, "Don't be coquettish with me, you are such a big person, you are like a child than me!"

He Qianjue pinched his rabbit ears and looked happy: "It's really the right choice to put you on such a cute little puppet!"

There are more black lines on the cicada's head.

Han Cicada was very unwilling, and began to frantically hit He Qianjue's face with cotton paws, He Qianjue couldn't help him, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, let's be serious." ”

"What the hell do you think!?" Chill continued.

He Qianjue couldn't help but reminisce, recalling the snake he saw when Zhu Shuyi came to the hospital with the snake, He Qianjue said: "He is very weak. ”

Han Cicada was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he heard He Qianjue continue: "I knew it when I saw him for the first time. ”

"It is estimated that his thousand-year-old Taoism has been almost destroyed, and he still has to rely on this kind of rune paper. He Qianjue took out the talisman paper that Zhu Zhi couldn't take away and pinched it in the palm of his hand, "Presumably in order to protect the Zhu family for generations, I have been fighting back and forth with that monster, and the old injuries have not healed and new injuries have been added, and if we continue to fight like this, it is estimated that neither side will end well." ”

Han Cicada listened to He Qianjue's words, looked at He Qianjue in a daze for a while, and after a while, he said tentatively: "Sir, aren't you...... Actually, I want to save the snake. ”

This time it was He Qianjue's turn to be stunned, and looked down at the chilling cicada: "Why do you think so?"

The cicada laughed: "Because you saved me!"

He Qianjue said with a smile: "I treat you as a hard laborer, how can I think I saved you?"

"When I left that Zhuo Qianqian's body, I'm afraid I only had a few days to live, it was you who taught me the way of cultivation and gave me a chance to survive, what is it if you didn't save me?" Han Cicada hugged He Qianjue and lay in his arms, "Sir is so good." ”

He Qianjue thought about it, and pinched the rabbit ears of the cicada: "You are so simple......"

After speaking, he hugged the chilling cicada and continued to rub: "But I like it!"

……

The matter of Yan Snake can not be mentioned for the time being, anyway, there is still a lot of time, and now He Qianjue and Han Cicada are facing another important problem.

It's the ghost of the murderer floating around outside.

The murderer also tried to attack Zhu Zhi before, but Zhu Zhi was very witty and let go of the rune paper in time, so that he escaped the catastrophe.

There is a big difference between the demon rune and the road rune, the demon rune is generally attached to the demon power, if the monster uses this kind of rune paper, it generally does not have much impact, but if humans use it, the demon power will erode the human body, for humans, this rune paper is a double-edged sword, harming others and themselves.

He Qianjue has also seen that Zhu Shuyi, Zhu Shuyi probably often uses these runes, so there is a trace of demonic aura on her body over time. Probably the Yan Snake herself knew this, and especially gave Zhu Shuyi some protection, so when she used the rune paper, there was no very strict damage.

And the cicada went out, it was to move his cotton rabbit body, looking for a secluded place outside to absorb the aura, there was not much aura in the hospital, but it could still be absorbed well, plus there were many ghosts here, and the yin qi was vigorous, and it was also a good place for shadow ghosts to cultivate, so it didn't take him long to learn how to absorb aura, although the amount of aura absorbed was so small that He Qianjue couldn't bear to look at it directly.

Although the amount was small, Han Cicada still worked very hard, trying to give all the absorbed aura to He Qianjue, but He Qianjue shook his head and said, "Don't worry, you can use the aura to consolidate your foundation first." ”

can't bring effective help to He Qianjue, Han Cicada felt that he was very useless, and looked a little depressed, probably because he was depressed, He Qianjue changed his painting style, pinching his ears, paws and cotton body every day, rubbing his cheeks and shouting cute, which made Han Cicada funny and helpless, but ...... I was still inexplicably happy in my heart.

Returning to the murderer's ghost, He Qianjue told Sù Han Cicada a way to kill the ghost.

"You absorb some more aura these days. He Qianjue shook the rune paper he had just gotten from Zhu Zhi in front of the cold cicada, "With this rune paper, it will be much easier to destroy that evil ghost." ”

"How?" asked the chiller.

Obviously, there was no one else in the mirror space except them, He Qianjue still approached the chilling cicada, and whispered like a thief: "You go to the plasma room of the hospital to steal a bag of blood bags, your current puppet body has a zipper behind it, and you can hide the blood bag in your body." ”

"What's the use of stealing that?" asked the cicada, tilting the rabbit's head.

He Qianjue shook the rune paper in his hand and said: "It can be used as cinnabar, used to rewrite the spell on this rune paper, after I write the spell, I will use the spiritual power you collected to attach the spirit to the rune paper, you take the rune paper and stick it on the murderer, he will be gone." ”

"It's that simple. Han Cicada suddenly looked at the yellow rune paper in He Qianjue's hand in surprise.

He Qianjue's words contain deep meaning, he said: "Of course, whether it is life or soul, it is easy to be stifled. ”

"Then I can go steal the blood bag now?" asked the chiller again.

He Qianjue nodded, visually inspected the results of the aura collected on the cicada for two days, and said, "Although it is a little little, it is not a big problem, plus the demonic power that is already on this rune paper...... Well, you go steal. ”

Han Cicada nodded, jumped out of He Qianjue's arms, ran to the mirror with a jump, and then jumped out with a whoosh.

He was completely adapted to the body of this rabbit puppet, and He Qianjue also used the spiritual power of the chilling cicada to write a spell on his puppet body, which would greatly reduce the attention of others to this puppet, so the cicada could control the puppet's body and run around outside, and no one would notice this surprised scene.

Of course, there may be surveillance cameras to capture it, so He Qianjue specially reminded the cicada that he must try to find some shelter or avoid the camera.

After that, Han Cicada climbed into a nurse's trolley, borrowed the trolley into the hospital's plasma room, which was full of all kinds of frozen plasma, he carefully identified the signs on the blood bag, and tried to choose the kind of blood type that is not scarce in quantity, he knew that the plasma in the hospital was used to save people, with one bag less than one bag, if you take the rarer blood type blood bag, maybe it will bring disaster to some patients.

After touching the blood bag, Han Cicada hid the blood bag in his cotton body, climbed back into Miss Nurse's trolley, followed Miss Nurse downstairs, jumped and crawled back into the mirror, and then it was also very smooth, He Qianjue rewrote the spell on the rune paper with blood, and then took the poor little spiritual power of the cold cicada to possess the spirit, and then handed the written rune paper to Han Cicada.

"The next time you see the murderer, you can put the rune paper on it, you can also wait for the seventh day when the ghost official comes, the ghost official's soul bell will also have some impact on the murderer, he is affected by the soul bell, the most defenseless moment, at that time the paste is also a good choice, if it is too late, he will turn into a powerful ghost because of the thick yin qi on his body, and start attacking other ghosts. ”

……

When He Qianjue and Han Cicada took action for the murderer's ghost, Zhu Zhi had already returned to his body, and when he woke up, he was in the emergency room of the hospital, and a fellow doctor was holding a heart shock machine to beat back his stopped beating heart.

Seeing him open his eyes, his colleague shouted with fear and rejoicing: "Zhu Zhi! Oh my God, you're awake!"

Zhu Zhi sat up directly from the operating table and looked around, both of them were his familiar emergency doctor colleagues, "What's the matter?"

"You fainted in the hospital lobby just now, your breathing and heartbeat stopped, and you scared us to death!"

Zhu Zhi didn't speak, he touched his chest, and it took a long time before he muttered: "It's not a dream...... It's true. ”

After the two doctors made sure that he was safe and sound, they originally wanted him to do a series of physical examinations, but Zhu Zhi walked out of the door of the emergency room directly, and the director of the hospital happened to be waiting outside at this time, and when he saw Zhu Zhi, he said: "Zhu Zhi, immediately ask for leave to go home and rest for a few days, do you know that you almost died of shock just now?"

Zhu Zhi just couldn't ask for it, he was about to leave the hospital and go back to find his sister.

This time, he must have a good talk with his sister about the Yan Snake, although he learned from He Qianjue that the Yan Snake is not a big traitor, but the monster is a monster after all, how can it be entangled with humans, Zhu Zhi was worried that his sister would be hurt, and the director of the hospital had a few nonsense, and left in the name of going home to rest.
