54. Collect servants
"If you don't take it out and look at it, you won't know what color its heart is." Kong An glanced coldly at the tanuki, who was still wearing the bronze mask, which fit his face so well that it looked like a face that was expressionless from taking too much Botox.
Mingyue scolded secretly in her heart, the last time she saw him in the demon mirror, he was obviously a person, but now no matter how you look at it, he is a non-human who has cultivated evil arts.
Mingyue took a step forward and wanted to take Robla to her side, but Rob hid behind Kong An and said indifferently: "You go quickly, return from here, and return to the bridge." β
"Good ......" Kong An turned around and touched Rob's face like a demonstration, so hated that Mingyue wanted to cut off his hands immediately.
However, Kong An didn't look like he was going to sit still, he turned to Mingyue, and suddenly his two hands stretched out, the temperature in the room dropped sharply, the wind suddenly rose, and some ghosts gathered in his palms and roared, just for a moment, everyone in the room felt a thousand pressures.
Wumao whimpered, retracted his licked tongue, and the loveless Tiancripple reminded in a dumb voice out of professional ethics: "Everyone be careful, this is a 'wronged soul asking for life'!" β
The tanuki essence also wanted to shake the spirit and return to Kong An's side, but the spirit pressure was so strong that it only resisted slightly, and then it was pressed to the ground and couldn't move, and the bones of the whole body were squeezed and creaked.
The tanuki spirits are so difficult, let alone the moon, fortunately, at the critical moment, no hair rushed to the bright moon to support the protective enchantment, but the unjust souls crackled like moths to the fire, and saw that no hair was gradually exhausted.
"Die, die with unwillingness, hatred and anger, after death, all the power will be used by me, hahaha~" Kong An laughed wildly, and the laughter was worse than the cry of an unjust soul.
Rob stood behind Kong An, and occasionally a hovering ghost grazed her back, making her painful and cold like an ice needle. Rob clenched his hands into fists, bit his lip tightly and remained silent, and a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Mingyue from behind Kong An, his eyes full of anxiety.
Mingyue looked at Rob with a cold face, suddenly smiled, patted the hairless, and motioned for it to put away the enchantment, but the hairless refused, but its body gradually ran out, and cold sweat trickled down its face.
"Hahaha~" Kong An looked at the hairless greedily, and the scarlet tongue under the mask habitually licked his lips - if he could resist for so long, the demon core of this demon must be of the highest grade.
"Ah~" The tanuki spirit screamed miserably, and a mouthful of blood spurted to the ground, and the real body was lying limp and collapsed, and it looked like it had broken bones.
Rob glanced at the tanuki, reached out and took out a small dagger clasp and held it in his hand, just now seeing Kong An break his wrist and be reborn, Rob didn't dare to act rashly, but he couldn't just watch Mingyue die.
Seeing Rob's movements, Mingyue became anxious, and wanted to break out of the enchantment, but at the last moment, a chant sounded in the corner, "...... Forgive a qiΔ sin, spend a qiΔ misfortune, get out of hell, leave the long night forever, and see the light ......"
With the chanting, the unjust souls no longer attacked everyone, fled outside the cave in reverse, the pressure of the hairless suddenly decreased, and took the opportunity to close the enchantment, a large fireball was thrown at Kong An, Kong An raised his hand to stop it, and the fireball exploded into brilliant fireworks when it touched his hand, and the bright light flashed in an instant, and Kong An was immediately blinded by the flashing light.
It turns out that the fireball thrown out by the hairless seems to be an ordinary flame attack, but in fact it is a fireworks technique very similar to the flame attack, which is usually used for entertainment, and is not very aggressive, but it can burst into a strong and dazzling light.
When Kong An opened his eyes again, Wu Mao had already taken Mingyue with him, and fled with the remnants of the sky in his mouth, leaving only the corpse of the tanuki spirit soaked in blood in the house.
Luo Bu's eyes were also blinded by the strong light, but he secretly admired in his heart: this is what Mingyue said that the spell is not divided into high and low levels, it all depends on the skillful use of the caster, take the opportunity to close his eyes and put the knife away.
Kong An was so angry that he jumped like thunder, strode forward, and stepped on the corpse of the tanuki spirit, and the corpse pounced and turned into a handful of tanuki hairβthe cunning tanuki spirit actually fought his last breath and bit the hairless tail and fled away.
Kong An's teeth were chattering, and his whole body exuded a gloomy atmosphere, and even the sunshine outside the window swayed, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a dark cloud.
"Your Highness...... Rob called softly, making a look of trembling with fright, seeing that Kong An ignored it, Rob lay directly on the ground, "Your Highness, my tail doesn't seem to be able to move." β
"What's going on?" Kong An immediately turned around and pounced on Rob's side, carefully checked Rob's tail, and blamed himself: "I'm sorry, I underestimated them, didn't scare you, right?" β
"It's fine." Rob said aggrievedly, "Yes, it just doesn't seem to move the tail." β
"You must be scared, I'll take you to rest." Kong An picked up Rob, but he didn't have time to go through the secret passage, set up the demon cloud, and left from the hole.
That's why Rob stayed: Kong An cares about her tail unusually, and there is no love in this world for no reason, so there must be a reason for this concern, maybe it's where her tail comes from.
Rob looked at the fleeting buildings, as if there were countless sinister mechanisms hidden in them, and secretly laughed that Mingyue could find a unique way to directly dig a hole down, otherwise he didn't know how long it would take to fight.
Thinking of Mingyue, Rob sighed secretly - she was so ruthless, Mingyue must be crying sadly.
However, she guessed wrong, Mingyue is the kind of person who cries and cries when she encounters something, and she is now pacing back and forth impatiently in the ruined temple on the outskirts of the city, like a trapped beast.
As soon as Wu Mao appeared, he was invited to the front hall by the "sons" to discuss the matter, and it naturally took the remnants of the sky with him, so there was only Mingyue and the civet cat spirit lying on the ground in the room.
Although the tanuki spirit escaped, the injuries on his body were not fake, the bones on his body were shattered, all his internal organs were injured, and he was left to hang there in one breath, not up or down.
"Help me......" The tanuki panted like a bellows, squeezing two words out of his teeth.
"Save you?" Mingyue stopped her steps when she heard this, walked to the tanuki spirit and bent down, squinting her eyes at it, "Give a reason, I don't save useless people." β
"Six years ......" the tanuki spirit gasped and said laboriously, although it didn't finish speaking, but Mingyue already understood that the tanuki spirit was saying that it had been by Kong An's side for six years.
Mingyue straightened up and thought deeply: This tanuki is cunning and changeable, and it is proof that he can live by the temperamental Kong An for six years, save it, I am afraid that he will stab him in the back; If you don't save it, I want to know more about Kong An's details.
After hesitating, the tanuki spirit laboriously said two words, "Free ......"
Blood foamed from the corners of its mouth as he spoke, and it seemed that if he didn't save it, he would really have no way to recover.
The word "freedom" deeply touched Mingyue, for a demon, freedom is so precious, even in the face of the danger of being killed at any time, you have to be alone, but because the demon's mana changes endlessly, many demons are tempted to love, wealth, power, etc., lose their freedom and be enslaved, even if Mingyue herself, it is because of the desire for freedom, so she gave up the identity of the demon king and became a new person.
"Okay." Mingyue nodded, took out a golden pill from the Buddha bead, and the room was immediately full of fragrance, and when she smelled it, she felt a shock to her spirit.
Looking at the elixir, Mingyue was a little proud, this was stolen by Kong Xuan from Taishang Laojun back then, Taishang Laojun was the most picky, since he was stolen by Sun Wukong once, he was more careful, if he hadn't put a fire in his main hall first, and then lit the tail of his mount, he really wouldn't have been able to succeed.
Thinking of the heroic deeds of the year, Mingyue's mood was slightly better, she reached out and roughly picked the chin of the tanuki essence and stuffed the golden pill into its mouth, and then raised her hand to force it to swallow, almost choking the tanuki essence to death.
The tanuki spirit rolled her eyes for a while, and felt that the pill was like a stalk in her throat, falling inch by inch into her stomach, it was really like torture.
Taking advantage of the fact that it rolled its eyes, Mingyue bluffed and said: "This pill is made by my ancestral secret method, if you have the heart to rebel against me, I have a thousand ways to make your life worse than death." β
The tanuki spirit was easy to wait for the golden pill to fall into his stomach, and he felt that there seemed to be supreme positive energy floating out of the pill, wandering away hundreds of remains, repairing the disabled, and suddenly he only felt refreshed, and all the 36,000 pores on his body were comfortable.
Mingyue was still counting the sequelae of taking the pill, the tanuki spirit showed the prototype, turned over hard, wiped the blood on the corner of her mouth with her paws, and took advantage of Mingyue's unnoticed civet spirit to wave her claws, imprinted a blood mark on her hand, quickly recited the mantra of volunteering to be a servant, and took the initiative to become Mingyue's servant.
This spell is different from forcing others to be servants, that is, it is short and easy to read, as long as the person who recites the spell willingly, of course, the effect is not so powerful.
"You ......" Mingyue, who was regarded as the master, was speechless for a while, this ghost cat, just now said that she wanted to be free, and now she took the initiative to be her servant, I really don't know if its words are true.
The tanuki spirit rolled on the ground, conjuring into a young offspring, that is, the clothes on the body were torn and there were holes everywhere, and even the tail was exposed.
"Now you can rest assured." The tanuki spirit carefully wiped the blood from his face, and said with a smile: "I am now your servant, as long as I have a different heart, I will thunder and crack the sky!" β
"Ha~" Mingyue sneered, and said in her heart: Who wants you to be a servant, you little white face!
As if hearing Mingyue's heart, the tanuki touched his handsome face and said with a smile: "Master, have a little confidence in yourself, I won't fight with you for that stupid snake." β
Mingyue's face darkened, and she kicked the tanuki spirit's leg and kicked it to the ground, the tanuki spirit could dodge, but in order to let Mingyue dissipate, it rolled on the ground, and the already tattered white clothes were suddenly covered with dust and became dirty.
happened to come in from outside, Mingyue pointed to the tanuki spirit on the ground and said contemptuously: "Then, congratulations on being a father again, lead it to ask for food!" β
The tanuki glanced at the hairless with affection, and called tactfully like a song: "Dad~"
Wumao was so frightened that he dropped all the remnants of the sky, and exclaimed: "Don't do this, father and son can't have it!" β
Angry, Mingyue stomped on the crotch of the tanuki, and the pain made it blush and arch up.
"You are such an informed and interesting person, why hasn't that prince been dealt with?" Mingyue asked curiously, "No matter how you look at him, he is not a vegetarian." β
The tanuki spirit was silent for a moment, got up from the ground hunched over, and said coldly, "He's not human. β
"Oh?" Mingyue looked at the tanuki spirit with a gossip on her face.
The tanuki spirit seemed to think of some embarrassing past, and after a few deep breaths, he continued: "He is cruel by nature, he throws beautiful women away like butt wipes, and uses the most vicious methods to suppress their souls in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, suffering day and night, and using the hatred of the world as the source of his own strength. β
"So......" Mingyue sneered, "Do you hate him for not using you?" β
"The status of our demons is not even as good as those women who were levied from the people, at least those women can still have food and clothing before they die, we are forced to surrender, trembling, and always worried that we will not be able to see the sun tomorrow." The tanuki spirit lowered his head, his eyes full of vicissitudes, "Back then, our family was forced to move to the capital, and now, I am the only one left." β
"It's really touching." The bright moon wiped the corners of her eyes and did not have zΓ i tears.
The remnant of the sky is even more embarrassed, he has always taken killing demons as his mission before, but he didn't expect to live so hard as a demon, and he felt that the future was bright.
Wumao licked the remnants of the sky fiercely, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will protect you." β
It's okay not to say this without hair, but when you say it, you don't want to live anymore.
"But I can't afford to raise idlers...... Mingyue said sadly, "No matter what, you have to go with Hairless to ask for food." β
As he spoke, he took off his shoes and rubbed the soles of his shoes against the tanuki's face, trying to make his handsome face dirtier and uglier.
The tanuki twitched and refused: "Master doesn't have to be like this, I must know everything." β
"Huh." Mingyue put her shoes back on, her eyes swept around, and she saw a big stone that looked like a bench, and the tanuki spirit immediately went over and dusted it with her tail first, and then bowed down to ask Mingyue to sit down.
"It's hard for you to be so caring." Mingyue sat down, "Now tell me what else you know." β
The tanuki said in detail, but Mingyue couldn't listen to it at all, and her mind was always worried about whether Rob would be bullied, although she had lived for thousands of years, she had long since lost the virginity complex of mortals, and there was still a difference between the forced and voluntary ones of cute people.
If Rob was forced, Mingyue would naturally be like frying oil.
If Rob is voluntary...... The bright moon is burned inside, and you can eat barbecue directly with some cumin.
