In the dim candlelight, the two demons were discussing how to get rid of the demons in the center of the cramped firewood room.

In the distance, a firelight approached, and there was a dull sound of chaotic footsteps on the stone pavement. No one spoke out loud, and the face of Grandmother Xiao, who was the leader, flickered in the open flame under the lantern, and she couldn't see her emotions.

Yun Bi bowed her head respectfully behind Grandmother Xiao, and she couldn't see her expression in the shadows.

Grandmother Xiao stood in front of the firewood room surrounded by the maid and the mother-in-law.

"Open the door for me." Grandmother Xiao's tone was a little cold, and all the kindness and kindness in the past were gone at this moment.

A thick-shouldered woman stepped forward from behind, pushed at the half-rotten wooden door, and opened with a splash of falling dust.

It was pitch black in the firewood room, and the woman used a fire to light the wick in the corner that had not been used for a long time.

There are scattered piles of firewood in the firewood room, and the small space is clear at a glance. Nothing but the spider in the corner, startled by the candlelight, struggling to hide in the crack of the roof beam.

"That's what you call an anomaly? Yunbi, do you know the price of nonsense and slander? Grandmother Xiao's face was slightly relieved after seeing the empty firewood room.

After Yun Bi was taken aback for a moment, she immediately realized what kind of mistake she had made. As if he didn't know the pain, he knelt heavily on the hard and cold stone with a hint of repentance: "The slave deserves to die." You shouldn't guess Miss Stone's whereabouts. But once again, the slave and maid would still tell the ancestor that the slave and maid would rather be punished than meet the son unladylike. ”

Grandmother Xiao looked at Yunbi's delicate side face, and said with a slight movement in her heart: "I see everything you have done to Lei'er, and I can rest assured that you are by Lei'er's side." When today's things are over, no one is allowed to chew on the root of the tongue. Otherwise......"

Grandmother Xiao glanced around at the people around her, they lowered their heads, and their respectful and awe-inspiring appearance made Grandmother Xiao quite satisfied.

"Get up, it's cold on the ground." Grandmother Xiao said and reached out to help Yunbi.

Yun Bi was surprised and delighted when she saw Grandmother Xiao's attitude, did the sentence "With you by Lei'er's side" in the old grandmother's words recognize her identity in the future?

The wish of many years seemed to be achieved in this way in the mouth of others, and tears welled up in his eyes unconsciously. He even forgot to avoid the hand of the old ancestor and got up by himself, and in this way, under the surprised gaze of everyone, Yunbi was supported by Grandmother Xiao and stood up.

Everyone present knows that Yunbi's identity may be different after today.

At the same time, somewhere in the darkness, a pair of glowing eyes watched everything outside the door of the firewood room.

Shallow plain residence

Shi Manman returned to the courtyard from the remote firewood house and had been thinking about how to let Ma Dao Chang find the six-tailed fox, after all, there was no basis for his words.

But she stepped into the room and closed the door for a split second. A crisis was like an invisible needle piercing the center of her eyebrows, and suddenly her muscles tensed, ready to attack at any moment.

"Six-tailed fox?" Shi Manman thought for the first time about the demon she had known the biggest threat in the past few days.

There is a demonic aura in the room, and if there is no deliberate restraint by the other party, she can't find the other party's location.

"Come out." Shi Manman shouted in a low voice.

In the blind corner of the line of sight, a black shadow slammed into the door of the stone vine like electricity. Before the candles could be lit in the house, the stone vines could only identify their positions based on the wind and sound brought by the opponent's attack.

She quickly rolled sideways, and the black shadow nimbly turned in a direction before slamming into the door, and attacked the stone vine again.

The more she dodged, the more strange a sense of familiarity felt in Shi Manman's heart, until her ankle was wrapped around something she didn't know what was wrong, and she seemed to know what was attacking her.

At that moment, she was no longer blindly defensive, and after her soft and boneless body broke free from the other party's restraints again, Yingyingyu's hand slapped at the other party......

Little by little, the fire spread all over the wing, and in the corner of the wing, a dark thing squirmed, and even made a muffled voice: "Quick...... Fast...... Untie and hold ...... Suffocated! ”

The child's voice, who else but the little hooked snake.

But at this time, its body was not the thickness of two fingers, but it had returned to the shape it had when it was in Kunlun. At the moment, its head was buried in its own body, and it seemed to be beaten into the shape of a ball.

Shi Manman set up the last chair that had been knocked over during the fight, ignoring the other party.

"I ...... I can't do it if I'm wrong......" Seeing that Shi Manman didn't pay attention, the little hooked snake pleaded in a different tone.

Shi Manman walked up to the little hooked snake, pulled its head out of its body, and asked, "When did it recover?" ”

The little hooked snake first spit out the letter in a big gulp, and then relieved himself and said: "After being caught by a strange person on the beam that day, he said that the snake meat with blocked meridians was not delicious, and slapped me a few times on the body. Later, I found out that Xiu Wei was gradually coming back, and I wanted to try it tonight...... It still can't beat you......"

Shi Manman looked at the huge size of the little hooked snake, frowned, and said, "Can it become smaller?" ”

The little hooked snake nodded tearfully, and its body gradually shrank back to its original appearance, but the knot on its body still couldn't be untied.

The stone vine squatted down to pick up the little hooked snake, and the knuckles flipped flexibly, and the body of the little hooked snake was finally stretched.

"In the future, you must not show your original form in front of people." Shi Man's face was serious, and the little hooked snake was shocked, it had hardly seen such an expression on Shi Man's face. After nodding mechanically, Shi Manman's face softened.

"You've fully recovered your cultivation now?" Shi Manman confirmed again.

The little hooked snake nodded, and even released some of the black inky mist that had overflowed from its mother's body to show its strength.

Shi Manman looked at the black mist and muttered for a moment: "How sure are you that you can trap a demon who may be able to transform into a human form?" ”

The demon who can transform into a human form and the demon who can't transform are no longer on the same level, and Shi Manman knows that he will definitely not be able to deal with the six-tailed fox, but now that the little hooked snake has resumed his cultivation, he may be able to add a trace of probability.

"Zero." The little hooked snake threw a roll of the stone vine's eyes, this kind of low-level question she could still ask.

It is a snake, not the body of a divine beast. With his little cultivation, trapping a demon who has already been able to transform is nothing more than death

Shi Manman shook his head and explained, "It's not that kind of cultivation has been enough years, but because of taking a shortcut and eating human flesh and blood, I have the ability to transform into shapes. ”

The cultivation of demons is different from that of people, and if the demons who practice in the mountains by relying on the essence of the sun and the moon want to transform into a thousand years, or encounter a rare opportunity.

There is also a shortcut to devour people's flesh and blood essence, or even essence, to promote the growth of cultivation. But the cultivation in exchange for this way, when the three tribulations come, it will definitely be a catastrophe and a life.

Most of the demons who have cultivated their sanity will not choose the sword to go sideways, it is not easy to cultivate, and they dare not take this child's play. But once you taste human flesh for the first time, you will become addicted and uncontrollable.
