Chapter 8: Night Talk
Peach Blossom Town, inside Luoan's room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Luo An looked at Lechuan directly: "Scholar, is there really a demon here?" ”
Lechuan nodded inexplicably: "Today I went to the peach blossom array alone because I smelled a demonic aura, but it seemed that under the suppression of the peach blossom array, the breath was very light, and then I got lost, and then I ran into the village chief." ”
"In this way, it looks like there is really a demon in this Peach Blossom Town."
Lechuan was a little puzzled: "Brother Luo, how can I feel that you are a little excited." ”
"You don't understand, I'm going to be glad that I can also slay demons." Suddenly, Luo An seemed to think of something again, and his expression changed: "Scholar, this time it won't be like Chu Wangcheng again." ”
Lechuan frowned this time and said uncertainly: "I don't know about this, but as far as I feel, this time's youkai is not powerful, it should not have been transformed yet, and even if there is, there will not be too many." ”
Hearing this, Luo An also pondered: "Then according to what you said, this demon is not yet in the Dan stage, it seems that we can still deal with it." ”
"Brother Luo, this is not necessarily, some talented demons can temporarily transform even if they have not reached the Jindan stage."
Luo An didn't want to dwell on this issue, but changed the topic: "That scholar, do you know what the monster in Peach Blossom Town is now?" Let's get the medicine right. ”
Lethe shook his head: "I just smelled a trace of demon energy today, how do you know what kind of monster it will be?" ”
Luo An suddenly sat on the chair weakly as if he had exhausted all his strength, and couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know anything, how can I get rid of demons, is my dream of getting rid of demons for the first time shattered like this?" ”
Lechuan on the side couldn't help but comfort: "Brother Luo doesn't have to be discouraged, you see that we haven't investigated in Chujiang Wangcheng for a long time, as long as you have a heart to eliminate demons, how can you worry that there are no demons to get rid of?" ”
At this moment, Ah Qi suddenly said in a loud voice: "Have you ever thought that the reason why we know about the situation of the evil spirits in Chujiang Wangcheng is because Elder Muye and they have checked the classics about Chujiang Wangcheng in the clan and found a solution to the problem. ”
Luo An suddenly came to his senses: "Ah Qi means that we should check whether there are any demons and evil things in the history of Peach Blossom Village, and then find clues from them, this is really a good way." ”
"It's not right."
Luo An's excited expression was suddenly lost, and even Ah Qi looked at Lechuan with puzzled eyes, and Lechuan immediately explained: "This situation is very likely to be different from the situation in Chujiang Wangcheng, it is because of some historical reasons, and what about Peach Blossom Village, have you ever wondered if there is such a stupid demon who has been staying here all the time, even if we find clues, but who can guarantee that the current demon is the demon recorded in the classics, the remnant souls of the witch clan in Chujiang Wangcheng have been suppressed there for generations, and they can't move, But the situation in Peach Blossom Town is fundamentally different. ”
These words made Luo An speechless, and Luo An held back for a long time before saying: "Didn't the village chief already say it before, they have been moving here for a long time, could it be that there was a demon before this, trapped here by the formation here, unable to get out." The more Loan spoke, the more excited he became, as if that was the correct answer.
"Brother Luo, this current formation can even stop a mortal to go out, how can it be possible to stop a demon?"
"That's not going to work, that's not going to work, what the hell are you going to do."
Lechuan stood up: "This matter is urgent, so I can only think about it in the long run." ”
"No, I can't wait, I'm going to go to the village chief to ask for clarification."
With that, Luo An went out directly and walked to the village chief's room, and Ah Qi in the back shouted: Luo An, even if you want to find it, you can go tomorrow. But Luo An didn't listen at all, and the two had to follow helplessly.
Fortunately, the village chief has not rested, and after some greetings, Luo An directly explained his intentions: "Village chief, can you tell us some stories about Peach Blossom Town?"
"Naturally, it's rare that you young people like to listen to it, so I'll tell you about it, the time of Peach Blossom Town seems to be traced back hundreds of years ago, our ancestors discovered this place, and they lived here, men farming and women weaving, multiplying."
Luo An couldn't help but stop the village chief's words: "Village chief, can you tell us some of the ghosts and gods that happened in Peach Blossom Town?" ”
The village chief stroked his beard with a smile: "What a young man, I love to listen to these stories." However, there are indeed a lot of stories that have happened in our Peach Blossom Town, so let the old man tell you slowly:
Legend has it that hundreds of years ago in the Peach Blossom Town, there was a family surnamed Meng scholar and the old mother of the family as a companion, one day there was an injured fox ran to the scholar's house, the scholar looked at the fox pitiful and felt pity, actually brought the fox back for him to treat carefully, soon the fox recovered health, the scholar's mother has been talking about marrying a daughter-in-law for the scholar, but the scholar's family is poor, no one wants to marry him. One day the fox disappeared, although the scholar thought it was regretful but did not think much about it, but one day the scholar went out and ran into an injured woman in white, and the scholar naturally stepped forward to treat him and go home. In this way, this beautiful woman in white gradually settled in the Meng family, and after a while, she married the scholar. Originally, life went on like this.
The village chief's voice suddenly changed: "Suddenly, one day a Taoist priest came, stood in the scholar's house and walked around, and then conspired with the scholar's mother for a few words, and then left." From then on, the scholar's mother tossed the woman in white in every possible way, and finally the scholar was forced to leave the woman in white, and the Taoist priest came again, bringing a lot of gold and silver and a beautiful woman. The Taoist priest actually arrested the woman in white. Later, the scholar learned that his wife was the fox he had cured, and his mother conspired with the Taoist priest to drug his wife every day so that she could not fight back. The Taoist priest promised to give him a new wife, as well as a lot of jewelry. Later, the scholar found the body of the fox, its inner dan had been dug up by the Taoist priest, and his wife was about to die, the scholar committed suicide with the body of the white fox in his grief and anger under the peach tree where the white fox was injured and fainted. Legend has it that since then, the peach tree has blossomed in red colors. ”
The three of them were fascinated by what they heard, and the village chief couldn't help but say when he saw that everyone was obsessed with listening: "Then I'll tell you one more:
Or a scholar rescued a woman, the scholar took the woman home, but the scholar soon found that the woman he saved seemed to be not a person, it turned out that the scholar found that the girl had a tail behind her, and the woman also confessed to the scholar that she was a fox demon. It's just that the scholar is kind-hearted and doesn't care at all. Gradually, the two of them gradually fell in love, and when the fox demon's injury healed, they never wanted to leave, but married the scholar and lived happily, reading during the day, and the fox demon grinding on the side. In the evening, the two of them counted the stars in the sky together, and said things that could never be counted. Scholars like to let women conjure their tails out and can't help but stroke them gently, women are often the most shy at this time, but they don't want to refuse scholars.
One day, this scene was unintentionally seen by a passerby, who thought that the scholar had been lost. I couldn't help but go to a nearby monk who wanted to get rid of the woman, but I didn't expect that this monk himself was also an evil way, and he usually ate a lot of his own followers.
The monk led a group of villagers to the scholar's house to arrest the woman and burn her alive, but the scholar swore to death, but was knocked unconscious. The scholar woke up and went crazy to find his wife, the villagers were about to burn the woman at this time, the scholar was desperate, so he had to temporarily detain the woman, the scholar already knew that this so-called monk was actually a centipede spirit, usually eating people for a living. The scholar went to look for evidence, and finally beat the centipede to death with the cooperation of the villagers. Only then did the villagers realize that there were also good demons, and since then the scholar and the woman have lived happily together. ”
Ah Qi couldn't help but mutter: "It's really good, there are good and bad demons." ”
Lechuan couldn't help but nodded: "Demons have good and evil, just as people are not the same and are all good people." ”
Luo An didn't pay attention to these: "Village chief, have these stories happened recently?" ”
"Shaoxia, these stories are all fake, how could it happen now."
Luo An wanted to say more, but was directly pulled out by Ah Qi, Luo An looked puzzled, Ah Qi couldn't help but say: "You are stupid, if there is a ghost story that happened recently, do you think the village chief will still entertain us so warmly and tell us stories?" ”
"That's right, if there really is something weird, the whole village must be very frightened, but are we listening to the story for so long in vain?"
Lethe shook his head: "It's not in vain, I don't know if you have noticed that the stories here are all related to one thing?" ”
The three of them said in unison: "Fox demon." The three of them smiled tacitly.
"Looks like everyone is thinking of a piece."
Luo An clenched his fists: "It seems that tomorrow we will start with the clue of the fox demon." ”
As the night deepened, the breeze brought bursts of peach blossoms, and the cries of foxes seemed to come from afar, bringing a touch of mystery to this quiet night......
