Chapter 8 Fate without Part, Fate without Fate (2)
We followed the housekeeper to the lobby, only to see that there were already three people sitting in the room, presumably on the main seat must be Master Wang, and next to him sat a young man and a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest.
The people in the house saw someone coming in and looked outside, the housekeeper was probably afraid that what happened just now would happen again, so he hurriedly went to explain the situation to Master Wang, and after learning about the situation, Master Wang stood up and went out to greet the old liar with a smile.
"Thank you very much to the master for coming to help the old man catch the demon, the master please. ”
After coming to the hall and sitting down, Master Wang pointed to the person wearing Taoist clothes and introduced: "This is the Xuanqing Daoist, and he also came to help the old man catch demons this time." Daoist Xuanqing smiled at us, which was a greeting.
Then he pointed to the young man and introduced: "This is a dog, named Haosu."
Then he looked at us again and asked, "I don't know what you call them?"
The old liar straightened up and said: "The old man is called Tianji", and then he stopped talking, until now I know that this old liar is called Tianji, how to ask him before, he didn't say.
Master Wang said: "Since this is the case, then call you the Master of Heavenly Machine, do you think it?"
The old liar nodded and agreed, and Master Wang looked at me and Yue'er again.
I hurriedly introduced myself: "The junior surname is Long Tianyu, this is my personal maid, Mingyue'er, this time I came with the master to gain knowledge, if you disturb the place of Lord Wang, I hope Lord Wang will forgive me." ”
After each of them finished their introductions, the old liar couldn't help but speak: "Master Wang, we are all waiting to help you catch the monster now, you can tell us more about this monster, and we can also help Master Wang get rid of this monster." ”
The Xuanqing Daoist on the opposite side also straightened up, waiting to hear what happened to Master Wang.
Master Wang looked at us, and then said, "Alas, this monster is also my daughter-in-law."
Speaking of which, he looked at his son for a moment, and then continued: " Things have to start from two years ago, two years ago one day, the dog went to the mountains behind the town to hunt, unfortunately met a bandit, was kidnapped by the bandits, this matter happened to be seen by the passing Bai Jing, then the dog saved, the dog in order to thank her for saving her life, then invited her to the home, in the conversation after we learned that she is an orphan who lost her parents since childhood, and later was left by a master to practice martial arts, not long ago her master passed away, leaving her alone to wander around, I feel that she has a poor background, and saved the dog's life, people are also very kind and took her as a righteous daughter, after a long time, we also get along very well, Su'er and her are more long-term love, I was also very happy in my eyes, just some time ago I decided to hold a wedding for the two of them, who knew that on the wedding day, she suddenly turned into a fox, injured many people, and had to take Su'er away, otherwise he would kill all the people in the house, the old man was really scared, so he sent a message and invited talented people to come to help. ”
What makes me wonder is that we have been together for two years without incident, why do we suddenly show our original form on the wedding day? I am afraid that there must be some hidden meaning in this.
The old liar didn't think about it so much, he asked directly, "Does Master Wang know where the fox demon is now?"
Master Wang returned: "On the back mountain, I don't know what the specific location is, I'll let Su'er lead you there in a while." ”
Without further ado, we followed Wang Haosu to the back mountain, at the beginning we could still see one or two people, now to the back mountain there is no one, I was curious and asked Wang Haosu: "Wang Gongzi, now is the autumn harvest season, there should be a lot of hunters up the mountain to hunt, why no one has met now." ”
"Long Gongzi doesn't know, although it is the autumn harvest season, but because of the monster matter, those hunters don't dare to come here to hunt, so I hope that a few masters will quickly get rid of this demon, so that we can return to our normal life. ”
Perhaps under the influence of the Buddhist idea of the equality of all things, I always felt particularly disgusted when I saw this prince and heard his words, and asked him: "Demon?
Wang Haosu glanced at me, and then said righteously: "Those who are not of my race will have different hearts, and those who are not of my race will be evil. ”
The more I looked at him, the more unpleasant I felt, so I said to everyone: "We have now reached the back mountain, but I don't know where Bai Jing is, if we look for it together, it will definitely take a lot of time, it is better for us to find it separately, this is faster." ”
They thought about it for a while and didn't have any opinions, so we divided into two teams, because there are only two of us here who can catch demons, and we are more familiar with the old liar, so I, Yue'er and the old liar are three of us looking for the right in a team, and Wang Haosu and Xuanqing Daochang are looking for the left.
The three of us walked forward like this for about half an hour, and we didn't find anything abnormal, this was the old liar clamoring to rest, and at this moment, Yue'er suddenly pulled me and said, "Young master, did you hear any sound?"
Before I could speak, the old liar received: "The little girl's family likes to be suspicious, how can there be any sound." ”
If Yue'er usually wouldn't have spoken, but this time she said seriously: "There is really a sound, it seems to be the sound of the piano, you listen carefully." ”
After getting along with Yue'er for so long, I knew that she wouldn't tell lies, so I pulled the old liar who was about to speak, signaled him not to speak, and asked him to listen carefully. After he calmed down, there was an intermittent sound from the front, and there was a sense of desolation and sadness in the sound.
Feeling that there might be someone in front of us, we dispelled the idea of resting and continued to walk forward, and after walking for a while, we found that there was a thatched house in front, and through the fence we saw a girl in white sitting in the courtyard playing the piano, maybe it was the same woman, and heard the sound of the piano so desolate, Yue'er couldn't help but walk over, we saw that Yue'er passed, and only to follow.
The woman in white felt that someone was coming and stopped to look at us, Yue'er saw her stop and asked first, "Seeing that my sister is so beautiful, but the sound of the piano is so desolate, I wonder if there is anything sad?"
The woman in white was a little surprised when she heard Yue'er ask her like this, and then she returned to her normal expression, and then only heard her say: "Maybe I'm sad for myself, or I'm sad for the protagonist in a certain story." ”
At this time, the old liar said in a very bad mood: "After walking for so long, the old man is a little tired, I don't know if I can rest here with the girl, and get some water to drink by the way." ”
The girl in white said, "Since you are tired of walking, you can rest here, and I will go and prepare some tea for you." ”
After a while, the girl in white carried a pot of tea and put it on the table, "A few people, please use it slowly, but I don't know if this tasteless tea can meet a few tastes." ”
At this time, Yue'er suddenly said: "My sister said that she was sad about the story just now, I don't know if you can tell us about it?"
"Since you want to hear it, maybe you'll be in a better mood. ”
The girl in white sat down and began to tell her story slowly.
A long time ago, there lived in the mountains a little fox who wanted to become an immortal, she practiced day after day, year after year, I don't know how long it took, one day she finally cultivated into a human form, very happy, I thought that I had been cultivating in this deep mountain for so long, I didn't know what the outside world was like, and today I finally cultivated into a human form, it is better to give myself a day off to go outside and take a look at the outside world.
The little fox because it was the first time to come outside, he didn't know anything, he was curious about what he saw, and he accidentally fell into the hunter's trap, because he had just become a human body, and he was frightened like this, and turned back into a fox, and was later caught by the hunter, and the hunter saw that the fox was snow-white, very good-looking, and it was a pity to kill it, so he took it to the market to sell, and it happened to be discovered by a scholar, and the scholar begged the hunter to release the fox, but the hunter refused, and the scholar had to take out the only little money on his body to buy the fox.
After the scholar bought the fox, he carried it to the mountain and put it away, and said to the fox before leaving: "Seeing that your eyes are so bright, it must be very spiritual, I hope you can understand what I say, you must be careful in the future, don't run around again, otherwise the next time you are caught, you don't know if you have such good luck today." ”
The little fox watched the scholar walk away slowly, and followed him silently behind, wanting to repay him for saving his life, so he followed the scholar to his door.
When he arrived at home, the scholar suddenly remembered that he had just gone to the market to buy some food, touched his pocket, and then sighed and said: "Alas, I originally planned to use the last bit of money in the family to buy some food, but this is good, but I am going to starve again, it is already late today, so let's go to the mountains tomorrow to find something to satisfy hunger." ”
The little fox knew the situation of the scholar, so he thought of a way to repay the scholar, and in addition to cultivation, there was one more thing in its future life, that is, to go to the mountains to pick some wild fruits, or catch some pheasants or something and put them at the door of the scholar, at first the scholar saw that there was some food at the door every day, and he was very surprised, and then he got used to it, thinking that God saw him pitiful, so he sent him some food to eat every day.
In this way, another two years passed, and it was time to enter Beijing to catch the exam, and the scholar had studied hard for so many years, hoping that one day the title of the gold list would be titled, and the emperor lived up to his wishes, and the scholar was admitted to the top prize as he wished, and he had his own mansion in Beijing, but what he was puzzled about was that now he had changed places, so far away from his hometown, there were still people who put some food at his door every day.
Probably because he was a big official, he was accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and these inconspicuous foods could no longer attract his attention, so he ordered his subordinates to throw away the food that was placed at the door every morning, and the little fox did not know it at first, and was still happy that he could repay his benefactor in such a way.
Suddenly, one day due to cultivation reasons, it missed a little time, put the food a little late, it just put the food at the door, it heard footsteps, busy hiding, then it saw a subordinate come over, picked up the food it had just put at the door, and said dissatisfied: "I don't know who is so boring, every day at the door to put these things to make the old man angry, I have to get up early every day to clean up." ”
