Chapter 5: The Quest Brought by the Demons
The green-haired girl's heart trembled, only to hear the sound of 'bang', eight pillars of fire rose into the sky, forming eight thick pillars, the dragon pattern on the pillars was clearly visible, the fire phoenix hissed, and the eight pillars fell straight down, penetrating the girl's limbs and body. In the empty night, the girl screamed, and her limbs were set on the lawn by the pillar of fire.
With a 'poof' sound, a touch of green liquid erupted from the girl's mouth. The girl raised her head, and by the light of the pillar of fire, she looked at Eleven who was slowly walking over.
"This is the Liu family, how can you be so presumptuous." Eleven walked in front of the girl and said lightly, raising his right hand, with a touch of silver light in his palm, and the fire phoenix hissed in the sky.
"Eleven, stop!" Eleven was just about to wave his hand, when a delicate voice came into Eleven's ears.
Eleven smiled faintly, and his right hand slashed abruptly, and a silver arc flashed along the trail of his hand. The fire phoenix in the air swooped down and rushed in front of the green-haired girl in her frightened eyes.
"Don't!!" The crowd shouted in unison.
Just listening to the sound of 'bang', when the fire phoenix was away from the girl, it suddenly exploded, and the scattered flames flew in the air, and then gradually dissipated. The pillar of fire also disappeared in an instant the moment the fire phoenix disappeared, and only the sporadic sparks showed everything that had happened in the past.
Eleven turned his head away, not looking at the girl's frightened and angry eyes, and his brown eyes swept over him faintly, "Mother, what's going on?" Could you please explain? ”
The person who came was none other than Liu Xitong, the wife of the Zhu family with the housekeeper.
"You guessed everything?" Liu Xitong clutched his chest and said with some embarrassment.
"This demon has been fighting with me for so long, and no one has come to take a look. Everyone here is suspicious except for my brother. Eleven straightened his hair and dress before he said slowly.
Liu Xitong was stunned, "Okay, it's a little ill-considered." ”
After all, this is the territory of the Liu family, so he let a demon spirit come in and fight with the young master of the Liu family with great fanfare, if there is no inside information, who will believe it! Steward Guan stroked his forehead slightly, seeing that his wife was so happy with the plan at that time, he didn't dare to bring up this matter to spoil the fun, and sure enough, it was still seen by the young master. Seeing the green-haired girl stand up from the ground in embarrassment, Steward Guan hurriedly stepped forward to help her, but the girl 'snapped' and knocked off Steward Guan's hungry hand.
"Who let you help it!" The girl still glanced at Eleven unwillingly, and said indignantly.
Steward Guan rubbed his red hand, smiled and said, "It's me who has a lot of trouble, Miss forgive me." After saying that, he walked to Madame's side without looking back and stood still.
The girl glared at the housekeeper hatefully, and then glanced at Eleven, who was looking over, and was annoyed in her heart, turned around, and quickly disappeared into the night.
"Mother?" Eleven turned her head to look at her mother again and asked suspiciously.
"Go back and talk about it." Liu Xitong glanced at the place where the green-haired girl disappeared and said helplessly.
Everyone nodded and followed Liu Xitong back to the apartment, only this time they didn't go back to the hall, but went straight to the study on the second floor. The housekeeper served tea to everyone, bowed slightly and retreated, there were still guests below, and only the male host was left to greet him below, which was his dereliction of duty as a housekeeper.
Liu Xitong saw that the eleventh or fourteen people were seated, and with a wave of his hand, a few silver lights flashed, and a soundproof enchantment was arranged. Liu Xitong took a sip of tea, thought about it for a while, and then said to everyone, "Eleven, after this birthday party, you should go to Beijing." ”
"Beijing? Why? "The first person who can't sit still is the grumpy Zhu Chenyang, how long has it been since he was born, why is Eleven going out again?
"Sit down!" Han Leng sat closest to Zhu Chenyang, frowned, even grabbed his arm, and dragged him back to his place, "Got a task?" ”
Although Han Leng said a question sentence, his tone seemed to be stating.
"Yes." Liu Xitong didn't hide it, and replied generously.
"Is it related to that spirit?" Eleven asked lightly.
Liu Xitong nodded, "That demon spirit is called green pothos, it is a fifteen-hundred-year-old ivy in a demon spirit gathering place in Beijing. ”
"Then why did you tell us?" Han Leng stared at Liu Xitong without blinking and asked. He and Lin Haotian are not members of the Liu family, and they don't have any powerful abilities, why did they tell him and Lin Haotian about the tasks of the Liu family, Han Leng really couldn't figure it out.
"Because this mission is a bit dangerous, I want you to go with Eleven." Liu Xitong said solemnly.
Lin Haotian and Han Leng looked at each other, could they solve the task that Eleven might not be able to do?
"Be specific." Han Leng pushed his glasses and said calmly.
"I'll talk about the specifics." A female voice came from outside the door, and everyone looked and saw a short girl standing in the doorway, her green hair reflecting her fair cheeks, and a flash of loneliness in her brown eyes.
"Pothos?" Zhu Chenyang looked at the girl at the door here and screamed tentatively. Green pothos glanced at him, raised her chin proudly, and nodded slightly, which was considered to be the answer.
Lin Haotian covered his mouth and snickered, this little demon spirit, to use a modern buzzword, is tsundere! It's okay to simply nod your head, but you have to make an arrogant expression to show your extraordinary. What a tsundere child.
"My home is in a place called Persimmon Forest, where there are many wild persimmon trees, so we just call it Persimmon Forest." Luthos found a chair at random and sat down, put away her proud expression, and slowly recalled.
"Because it is far away from the place where humans live, there is no destruction, and there are many demon spirits gathered, and originally people and demon spirits have nothing to do with each other, and life is comfortable." Speaking of this, the pothos' eyes were full of nostalgia. After a moment, the conversation changed, and his tone was a little dissatisfied, "But in recent decades, the power of human beings has expanded wildly, and even the persimmon forest far away from humans has not been spared. People began to cut down the trees in the persimmon forest, planting some weeds indiscriminately, saying what kind of food. Destroying our homes and killing many of our brothers and sisters! ”
Lin Haotian complained in his heart, it was originally food, how could it be a weed!
The king couldn't stand it anymore, so he sealed the persimmon forest. So that the stream no longer flows, the soil is no longer fertile, those weeds do not grow fruit, and those people finally give up the persimmon forest. Green Pothos continued, "Everyone thought that this matter was over, who knows, two months ago, a group of people went up the mountain and said that they were going to bulldoze the persimmon forest and do what planning and construction!" On impulse, the king went to catch a few human children and came back. When they were captured, the king repented and let them go. ”
"Then you mean that we should dissuade those who are doing construction?" Lin Haotian asked curiously, is this kind of thing also in charge of the Liu family?
"Of course not." Lu Pothos looked at Lin Haotian with disdain and said, "This kind of trivial matter can be handled by any of our demon spirits by themselves!" ”
"Then what do you mean......" Han Leng asked coldly.
Green Pothos clenched her hands, her eyes flashing with determination, "Help me deal with the Demon Spirit King!" ”
