Chapter 32: Picking Up a Lion Cub
Mu Feng took advantage of the fact that the little black lion was still in a stiff state and hugged it into his arms, not disgusted with its snot and tears and the weeds stuck to its hair, although he knew that such a little monster would not really feel cold in winter, but he still had to take it to a warm place to talk.
The other four people in the dormitory were all on this morning's train, and now he dominates the dormitory alone, just in time to bring this little black lion back, the little black lion doesn't have to worry about being watched by his roommates, how a lion cub appeared in college, or was used as a test object by Yang Lianghe as a test charm.
The little black lion nested in Mu Feng's arms, and after making up a lot of brain about how it would be divided, it finally came back to its senses and wanted to twist its limbs in an attempt to escape, but its twisting was suppressed by Mu Feng's hand.
Mu Feng rubbed the little black lion's head, and pinched its ears by the way, "Don't move, if you fall again, your ass will really swell!" ”
"Huh-" The little black lion swept his buttocks with his tail in hindsight, it really hurt, it was the fat butt that landed on the ground first when he fell from the tree just now, although it was not a fatal injury, but it couldn't withstand the secondary injury.
This trick doesn't work, it wants to change the trick, the year beast can turn into an entity, or it can turn into a virtual body again, and then it can swoop away. But the little black lion blackened his face and found that he couldn't change his luck back. Damn it! This person must have a special imprisoning spell that made it impossible to escape.
"Why are you going to let me go? I'm really not tasty. In the end, the little black lion could only raise his head helplessly, and said in a pitiful voice, "When I catch the waste, I will give you that fan from it, that is a good thing, will you let me go?" ”
Mu Feng looked down and saw the little black lion looking at him with two eyes without blinking, as if showing a pleading expression, being looked at like this, Mu Feng felt as if it was an unforgivable thing not to let go of the little lion. In later Internet terms, it was the Moe Eye Wave Attack.
The little black lion counted down silently in his heart, and every time he did something wrong and looked at the old beast like this, he could avoid the board that he was supposed to suffer. But its eyes were sour, but the human raised his head and didn't look at it, and immediately let himself go as he imagined.
"I don't know how much food it will cost to raise you, so don't worry, I'll let you go." Mu Feng resolutely avoided the little black lion's moe attack. He was telling the truth, he had no intention of raising a little black lion, he just wanted to figure something out. "But not now, I'll wash your face first, and then if you tell the truth, then I'll consider letting you go."
The little black lion suddenly lost his voice when he heard the washing of his face, as a young beast, he hated water the most. This is the bad guy, and the little black lion takes cold violence and no longer argues.
Mu Feng saw that it had finally quieted down, and his steps were faster, and he really didn't want to talk to the little lion in his arms while walking, because it seemed that he was talking to himself, as if there was something wrong.
The little black lion nested in Mu Feng's arms, and after it quieted down, he found that the arms of this human being were also quite warm, and he wanted to sleep a little when he was held like this.
As a year beast, I really can't explain that I have to come to the world to forage for food in winter, and in such a cold weather, I should stay in the cave and sleep.
Mu Feng walked all the way, not that no one was curious about what he was holding in his arms, but because he was in a hurry, no one came up to talk. Then he carefully avoided the uncle at the door of the dormitory building, and smuggled the little black lion safely into the dormitory.
When he wanted to put the little black lion down, he found that the little thing was clutching his clothes with one paw and was actually asleep.
Mu Feng could only hold the little black lion with one hand, and with the other hand, he made a basin of warm water, found a small square towel that he didn't use, and helped it wipe its face.
It's not that Mufeng has a habit of cleanliness, this lion has black hair, it seems that it is not as clean as the white lion, and the hair on his face is covered with snot and tears, and talking to this face is also a test thing.
Just like the little black lion showed him that pitiful look just now, Mu Feng looked at it in addition to being a little unbearable, but more wanted to laugh, with this sloppy face, how could selling cuteness play the expected role.
As soon as the towel was pasted on the face of the little black lion, it instantly woke up, how could it fall asleep in the arms of a human! This is too embarrassing for the face of the Nian Beast, and it will definitely not tell the other Nian Beasts when it goes back, in fact, the arms of humans are very warm.
"Okay, now let's talk, how did you and Wasted come to the school? Especially you, you said that you are here to catch waste, I think you are here to make trouble, a lion who can't even climb trees, or should practice the skill of climbing trees first. ”
The little black lion was so excited by the wooden seal, and it really exploded, what is it called that it can't climb trees, it only occasionally stumbles and falls, it is not here to make trouble, but to test.
"I can climb trees, I'm just not proficient!" The little black lion emphasized that this is not black history, "I am going out to practice, and it is my task to eat waste." ”
Mu Feng really didn't think that this little black lion could catch the waste, and he had to eat the other party, which was really difficult. "Are you sure you can catch it? What did you do, why do you have to catch it, say it and I might be able to consider helping you. ”
The little black lion blurted out, "I don't want Taoist priests to help, you are all bad people!" ”
Mu Feng saw that the little black lion would rather starve to death than eat the food that came to him, and once again stretched out his claws and touched its head, while thinking about what kind of monster this was, claiming to be Xiao Nian, with the body of a lion. Mu Feng also touched a small bag on the top of the little black lion's head, some of which were hard, not a fall, maybe there would be a horn here?
The little black lion is not used to being touched on the head, it has not been touched since it was a child, and other young beasts have parents to lick their hair, but it has no parents, because its background is black, and it was abandoned when it was a child. Black is not a common color in the herd, and the brown and white lions dislike their ugliness, and are raised by a few hornless beasts.
I don't want to admit it, but what if it's comfortable to be rubbed my head?
"I'm not a Taoist." Mu Feng didn't know why the little black lion was so repulsive to the Taoist priest, maybe he had already suffered some injuries. "Do you think that only Taoist priests can do magic among human beings?"
The little black lion thought about it, and listened to those old beasts say that there are indeed many types of human cultivation, and Taoist priests are not the strongest, they just hate Taoist priests, and what really changes is sword cultivation, and those sword cultivators can cut off the horns on their heads with a single sword, and cut off the source of their strength.
The little year beast stretched out its limbs, it was so comfortable to be touched, and it wanted to be rubbed its belly, such a person should not be a Taoist priest.
"You're really not a Taoist? Our young beast hates the Taoist priest the most, that is, you came up with the idea to let humans set off firecrackers on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and the sound is really ugly, and Yan zhòng affects us to capture waste. ”
"You're a year beast? The Black Year Beast? "Mu Feng really doesn't have it, the little black lion is associated with the year beast, he is already familiar with the characteristics of 108 common monsters, and this one in front of him really can't be crowned with adjectives such as terrifying appearance and ferocious nature. And this untouched temperament, which should be the year beast?
The little black lion was the most dissatisfied with its coat color and was questioned, "Isn't black bad!" I think black is the most majestic! ”
Mu Feng could only smile, this is really childish. "You're right, the black lion is much more majestic than the other lions. But why don't you have horns yet? Shouldn't the Year Beast have a single horn? ”
The little black lion stretched out his paw and touched the small hard bag on his head, which is the reason why it must have eaten waste. "I believe that you are not a Taoist priest anymore, and you don't know these things. Before we reach adulthood, we have no horns on our heads, and we have to catch one and eat it before it can grow horns. ”
Mu Feng wants to say that the current Taoist priests may not be able to know the adult process of your Nian Beast, and Mu Feng is more concerned about how the Nian Beast and Waste came to the world.
"I'm sure you'll be able to catch the waste, and then you're going home? There are rumors that your home is in the deep sea, this is a misinformation, you are so afraid of water, can you live in the sea? ”
The little black lion heard that Mu Feng believed that it could catch waste, and he stiffened his small belly, and finally someone had confidence in it, when it came out this time, those young beasts did not believe that it could become an adult. However, when it heard the return home and the deep sea behind, its beard also drooped.
"How can I live in the sea, where it's all water! Just to go home, to cross a deep sea. ”
"Every year around the Spring Festival is the time when your home opens the passage between the world." Mu Feng already has some understanding of the principle of action across several realms, and generally requires a specific time node. And the New Year Beast should only come to the world around the Spring Festival.
The little black lion said the specific time, which is a little different from what humans think, they can enter the world from the eighth day of the lunar month, and they will not leave until the fifteenth day of the first month, when the boundary gate of the East China Sea is opened again.
Nian beasts are indeed carnivores, but to say that they like to eat people is to wronged them, human flesh is not much, and it is not delicious, why should they eat it.
They actually came to the world to catch the waste to eat, the waste of this kind of ghost also appeared in the world from Laba to the Lantern Festival, they take all kinds of human feelings as food, especially like to eat joy, create anger.
Because the Spring Festival is the most joyful time of the year, waste will definitely come to the world at this time. Although waste does not eat people, but eat people's joy, people's luck will change, plus waste likes to steal, from time to time to increase people's anger, this is a very unfriendly ghost thing to humans.
The young beast can grow horns after eating waste, and the adult beast can strengthen the horns on its head, so there is a saying that the beast attacks humans when the Spring Festival arrives.
Nian beasts do have the ability to be invisible, but why should youkai care about the thoughts of humans, at the beginning, they were not invisible.
Human beings can't see the waste of ghosts, but they can see monsters and beasts, and the frightened people invited Taoist priests to solve this problem, and the Taoist priests knew that the monsters' hearing was sensitive, and they couldn't stand the sound the most, so they made firecrackers. The year beast was made helpless, and later came to the world to capture waste.
And in the Tang Dynasty, Taoism came out of a Zhong Kui, this is very powerful, he naturally knows the relationship between the year beast and waste, he didn't target the year beast much, but he caught the waste alive, and ate the waste, which made the year beast once spread the rumor that the Taoist priest would eat monsters.
The little black lion has almost explained it clearly at this point, it is already lying on Mu Feng's lap, and he is helping to rub his stomach. Wow~It's so comfortable~
"Now there are fewer and fewer Year Beasts coming to the world, because the boundary gate of the East China Sea is unstable, and waste may not be able to come to the world, basically only Year beasts like me who must eat waste and long horns will come. We can't go directly to the ghost realm where the waste is located, we can only encounter them around the Spring Festival in the world, this is the only chance. I'm going to have horns this year, and since I've been here, I've only encountered that one waste, and it's so good at escaping! ”
Mu Feng didn't have a good impression of that waste, it made the atmosphere of the school so weird, "Why did it come back to the school?" ”
"It likes places with a lot of people." The Nian Beast chased all the way from the East China Sea, "I don't know why it recognized this school, but there are many people here, and there are many people, so it has not left." ”
This is a bit difficult to do, in the past two days, everyone has returned to their hometowns one after another, and if they go to other places by then, it will be even more difficult to catch.
"If you can track it, I'll help you trap it." Mu Feng remembered Di Jiang's words, and chose Jingcheng University in vain, wouldn't it be because he was in this school? It is said that ghosts like people with plenty of aura.
The little black lion has obviously become more and more frustrated, it is comfortable to be shunmao this time, and it no longer refuses the help of Mu Feng, it must be an adult this year, accept the help of humans, and it will be a big deal to pay it back later.
"Don't worry, I can smell it, it's still here, but it's not moving now, I'll find it as soon as it moves!"
Mu Feng looked at the little black lion wagging his tail, and wanted to ask, are you a dog, you can smell so well.
