Chapter Twenty-Six: The Journey (Part II)

"Little flower, look!"

It was the sun and Laximi's pleasant voice that woke him up, and Hua Jiuxi got up and saw Laxmi pointing to the monster corpse at the head of the bed with a disapproving expression.

"Lobster monster." "But why did you somehow die in your room?" ”

"It's not a lobster monster." Hua Jiuxi began to explain, "This is a kind of Oriental little demon called 'hair cut', which is mainly to do some pranks to cut human hair short......"

"Well, I know, it's a manifestation of the hair faith." "In the context of witchcraft, hair is seen as a dwelling place for the soul. If you get someone's hair, part of that person's soul is in your hands. ”

"That's right, it's the 'contact witchcraft' of sympathetic witchcraft." Hua Jiuxi said, "During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was also a great panic of witchcraft caused by the large-scale cutting off of hair braids. However, this little demon is obviously looking for the wrong person, and he was killed alive as soon as he touched your hair. ”

It's like being struck by God by touching the Ark of the Covenant by mistake.

"So this is also sent by the enemy?" Laxmi asked, "So they've infiltrated a lot of places......

"Not necessarily, it is made within a radius of dozens of miles. I didn't detect any excess demonic power, maybe this hair-cut monster was thrown piecemeal. Hua Jiuxi said.

"That's a terrible thing, you think, if some big man has his hair taken by the enemy......" Laxmi said worriedly.

Her worries were not unreasonable, and Hua Jiuxi said, "Actually, I don't believe in the real power of contact with witchcraft - at least I haven't seen it. However, there are still some measures to be taken, and I decided to use poisoning. ”

"Poisoned?"

"Xiangling, this gourd is entrusted to you-I should have handled all this, but because I was in a hurry to go to Shaoguang City, I would trouble you." Hua Jiuxi tried her best to make her tone more serious.

But Xiang Ling was originally a very reliable girl, and his politeness seemed to be too much.

"Then the children are bothering you too......" Laxmi hugged Xiang Ling fiercely, which made her a little flattered: "Where...... Madame, you're gracious......"

It took two people to carry, pull, lift, and drag in small bags, as if they were going on vacation, which sent many things to Xiangling.

The first one is the way to deal with the "hair cut". Hua Jiuxi took the blood of the dead hair and dripped it into another gourd left by the Worm Heavenly Son. This gourd is similar to the previous transparent gourd, but it contains many millet-like eggs inside.

Once the blood of a creature is absorbed, the mosquitoes that hatch from the eggs will suck the blood of that organism – and these bugs are very virulent.

"The survival and reproduction of any living thing is the first priority." Hua Jiuxi said to Xiang Ling, "But the purpose of this witchcraft poisonous mosquito is to kill its own food source - in fact, it is a living weapon." ”

"Yes, how do you breed these bugs?" Xiang Ling pushed down the frame and said, "I know that mosquitoes hatch in water." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I've written it in this portfolio." Hua Jiuxi handed the long file bag to Xiang Ling, "I've written tens of thousands of words." ”

"Isn't there a feeling of Zhuge Wuhou's tips?" The corners of Xiang Ling's mouth actually turned up slightly, and he smiled like this, but this expression was fleeting, and Hua Jiuxi didn't notice it.

He went out with Laxmi like this, and the car was light and fast, and there was no trace in the blink of an eye.

"Boasting in front of everyone......" Xiang Ling said with her finger to her lips after the two of them walked away—she still didn't like dealing with stupid worms.

Another consideration is that there is not a large enough pool of water near Huajiuxi's mansion to nurture these mosquitoes - and the Sacred Heart School where leeches lurk is not only close to the mountains and rivers, but also has a large group of children whose lives are valuable.

So Xiang Ling took this gourd and took a taxi to Sacred Heart Middle School.

Fortunately, after the doorman saw her proof, he didn't embarrass her, and Xiang Ling entered the campus smoothly.

It's the end of March, and the spring plants are enthusiastically venting their little energy – turning into lush green leaves and fragrant flowers, which is one of the most comfortable times of the year. Xiang Ling has not received this kind of common education experience since he was a child, and it is very fresh to see the boys running around and the girls chatting and laughing in twos and threes.

People dressed as maids were not uncommon in this school, so her presence didn't cause much of a stir - only the occasional boy looked at her a few more times, and Xiang Ling looked at them, and the teenagers quickly turned their heads shyly to play.

It's about 10 o'clock in the morning, and because it's close to lunch, there are the most distracted students in this class. Leech is of course one of them, and in addition to fugue, he continues to patrol the entire campus - there have been more and more unknown demons lately.

But the work is obviously much easier than the first few weeks, because the Motox Society has greatly assisted some other monster assistants, silently guarding these little foreign devils in secret. Leech thought that he had to express himself, so he paid out of his own pocket to invite his brothers to eat two meals.

The bell finally rang after class, and the teacher wrote three more lines of board before releasing him. The boys and girls jumped in joy, first scattered, and then squeezed out of the classroom door.

Then they found an extremely beautiful maid standing there.

"Likia, I'm bothering you with today's homework." Leech said to Lygia, who was sitting diagonally across his seat, as he put the pages of the curled textbook into his case.

Like Leech, Ligia had already learned through these superficial knowledge, but she still fulfilled her duties as a student perfectly. Write down your notes during class and ask your teacher for advice.

Leech didn't have much interest in those homework, so he came up with a way to copy it. As soon as Lygia finishes it, he immediately copies it without even noticing. I haven't been discovered by the teacher for so many days - maybe the other party turned a blind eye.

"It's good to have friends......" Leech said to Lykia.

"Yes, helping others is the foundation of happiness, isn't it?" Lykia took Leech's hand, and the two of them stepped out when they saw that the people in the classroom were almost gone.

But the human voice did not weaken, and the leech was curious, and a faint fragrance came.

"What kind of person has fifty-three different ingredients in perfume......," thought the leech, and thought to himself, such a drop of water was much more expensive than the same amount of gold. It took a moment to realize who else could be.

"Who are you looking for—is that the kid in this class?"

The squad leader was a quiet girl with short black hair, and she saw that Xiang Ling standing in the corridor seemed to be waiting for someone, so she asked.

Xiang Ling looked at her and didn't answer. Seeing that this person had a cold face and was a little afraid, the squad leader immediately took a few steps back.

One of the disadvantages of beauty is that it can always attract a large number of idlers, I don't know boys, many women also flock to her - I want to see what such a beautiful girl is waiting for.

"This maid lady is here to find you...... Likia said.

"Hmm." Leech frowned slightly, Xiang Ling actually made the movement so big - it would not be easy to carry out the work in the future, but he still waved his hand.

The strange and beautiful man in the class walked over, and people naturally flashed an empty path. The leech came to Xiang Ling, and Lygya was watching from a distance.

"Hmm, Sister Xiangling." Leech said hello to her, and like Hua Jiuxi at the beginning, he was still in awe of this girl.

"Oh, Hanazhi-san—is this sister your family?" I don't know who in the crowd said a word.

"Ah, sort of......" Leech replied scribblingly. People have speculated: Hua Zhi is usually reluctant to even eat - there is a maid at home. This is a very strange person.

"Master Leech." Xiang Ling said, "I have a new task for you......

The leech almost grabbed Xiang Ling's hand and "booed", but the strange conversation obviously didn't make any waves in the crowd - because it was said in Chinese.

"This gourd, and this document. Young master, you naturally know what to do according to what is written in it. Xiang Ling said.

Her tone was cold and almost commanding, but the leech didn't feel disgusted at all. Because Xiang Ling is a great beauty, she is like this to everyone.

"Uh-oh." Leech put the two things away in plain sight—fortunately he didn't know much of a friend other than Lygia, and no one asked what they were.

After Xiang Ling explained these things, he didn't say anything more, and immediately turned around to leave. Leeches were busy proofreading her.

"How?" Xiang Ling asked.

"Well, did you see the boy when you came? He's on the floor below......" was a perfunctory sentence, followed by another, "You've been here once, why don't you stay longer?" ”

Xiang Ling was still very happy to see Leech say this, but there was no expression on her face: "Young Master Leech will go back to the house every week, so we have a lot of time in contact - I also hope to walk around this school with Young Master Leech, but I have other tasks." ”

Anyway, I really left.

"This maid is so spirited! - Hua looks like a little lamb. "A girl said that.

Then more of the boys came up to the leech and asked some obscene questions, and the leech didn't know anything about it. Finally he got annoyed, and the men walked away boredly.

After lunch with Ligia, the leech only ate some cheese-based dairy products, and walked into the forest.

"Is that sister also a youkai?" Lygia walked with her hands behind her back and strode - this was a more lively and lovely walk.

"Not count." Leech behind her, hands on pergola, he is not able to adapt to the high intensity of the sun, "Do you say that the dragon is a monster?" ”

"You mean the Chinese Dragon?" Ligia asked.

"Hmm."

"Actually, I don't know much about the dragons of the East, but I have the impression of dragon......s with wings and fire, and they are slaughtered by St. George and other knights," said Ligia, "but I have heard that in China the dragon is regarded as a symbol of the emperor - the status is very noble." ”

"Actually, there are many kinds of dragons in China." "That's what the two people I often mentioned (Hua Jiuxi and Lakshmi) told me, that the dragons of China, India, and the West are actually all different kinds of magical reptiles. Therefore, when the Chinese come into contact with similar things in foreign countries, they all translate them as dragons. ”

"Is that sister a dragon?" Ligia's eyes widened, "Can a dragon become a human?" ”

"Didn't I say that in China, with hard work, any creature can become a human form – even an immortal." "And in Europe, the descendants of the elves will always be the elves, and the descendants of the goblins will always be the goblins." ”
