Chapter 41: The Story of the Fox Demon (I)

I don't know how the court will fall today, and it is suspected that the forest flowers bloomed last night.

It's snowing again.

However, Bai Xue did not dilute the joy of Liu's house.

The Liu family was busy receiving guests, and the back kitchen wafted an enticing aroma.

Xiang Xiaoer and Ma Xiaosan were taken aside by the housekeeper to arrange the time to appear.

The bitter cold of the continent, this storyteller is rare here.

I can't find a few storytellers in the whole Zhou, and when I learned that Xiang Xiaoer was a storyteller who came from Luoyang to see the world, Master Liu also took a look at it personally, and paid more attention to Xiang Xiaoer after he showed his hand.

personally arranged a place for him to rest, and also arranged two maids to wait.

Originally, today was as lively as possible, but now there happened to be a storyteller who was not available in the entire city of Zhouzhou, and this Master Liu was naturally even happier.

After the arrangement was made, Master Liu ordered someone to spread the news, and allowed people from outside to come and join in the fun.

At this time, when I heard that the guests of the banquet in Liu's mansion, even the poor man could ask for a steamed bun, and he also invited the storyteller who did not have anything to do in the whole Zhouzhou, and people who had nothing to do naturally came to join in the fun.

The housekeeper of the Liu Mansion is also clever.

Boil a pot of boiling water in a large pot and throw two taels of cheap tea roots into it, and this pot of boiled water will become a pot of tea.

After instructing people to prepare some bowls, one bowl per person was distributed to those poor men who joined in the fun, the weather was freezing, drinking hot tea, and taking a bite of white flour steamed buns.

Hey, this little day, for these poor people, it is a race against the living immortals.

All of them called Master Liu Gaoyi.

Master Liu is also happy, how good the people are, this tea root can't be given to the distinguished guests to drink, the white water is not valuable, you can boil a pot of snow by grabbing two handfuls of snow, and it costs a little money for steamed buns, but it is not a matter for them Liu Fu, using electricity for a small amount of money for such a big bustle, suppressing this Huang Xian's resentment, it is worth it!

What he didn't know was that there were more and more people, and there were more and more black clouds above this Liu Mansion.

Zhou people are bold!

Although it was snowing lightly, the feast was placed in the courtyard.

Many people with status naturally sit at tables and chairs.

This has nothing to do with Liu's Mansion, and those who come to join in the fun can only watch from the outside.

But no one is unhappy, the people of Tianhan are simple, the people don't have so many flowers, no relatives and no reason, the world loves Liu's mansion to hold banquets, it's not unusual for them to be poor, and they give steamed buns and tea, where can they be treated differently?

Thinking that the illness that had plagued his son for many years after today would be cured, Master Liu was also happy, and specially ordered someone to fry more peanuts and distribute them to the people who watched the excitement in the periphery.

Now the people who joined in the fun were even happier, and they all shouted for Master Liu's righteousness.

The banquet is set, the people who are lively outside do not understand, there is a table here naturally knows the rules, no one does it, at this time a subordinate came up and set up a table and chair in the right room, good wine and good food on the top.

Everyone looked at it strangely, most of them were seated, how could they put a new one, only some smart ones, guessed that this should be the storyteller invited by chance.

Sure enough, the wine and food were arranged, and the subordinates retreated in turn, and Xiang Xiaoer, who was dressed in a long shirt and handsome, walked up with the little white fox in his arms and sat on the table in the middle room.

At this time, Master Liu got up and bowed his hand to the surroundings:

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the fourth birthday of the child, my Liu family has prepared a little thin wine, thank you for coming, and I happened to meet this Mr. Xiang Xiao from Luoyang passing here, so I dared to ask him to say a paragraph for everyone!"

Master Liu gave a brief introduction to the guests who were doing it, and Xiang Xiaoer sat down again.

After Master Liu sat down, Xiang Xiaoer put the white fox on the chair, and said to everyone: "In the next Xiang Xiaoer, people from Jiangdong Chudi, from Luoyang, passing through here, coincided with the fourth birthday of the son of Liufu. ”

Xiang Xiaoer patted the waking wood that had been prepared a long time ago, and began to tell the story.

"I see that you are very curious about my fox, so in that case, let's tell you a story about the fox today. When it comes to foxes, everyone will definitely think of the fox fairy in our Yingzhou for the first time.

Everyone also knows that there are five immortals, yellow foxes, and white willow gray in Yingzhou! These five great immortals have all shown their divine power in the human world and defeated the army that invaded Goryeo. ”

When Xiang Xiaoer said this, the faces of the Liu family changed, and the cold sweat of Master Liu came down directly.

I was just about to kill Huang Xian, why did a storyteller happen to be talking about five immortals? Looking at the little white fox sitting on the stool and lying on the table, I couldn't help but think to myself.

Isn't this a fox fairy who is one of the five immortals?

As the saying goes, if you don't do bad things, you are not afraid of ghosts calling the door, and if you do bad things, you will see people like ghosts.

The guests present didn't know that the Liu family held a banquet this time to kill Huang Xian and eat meat, and the Liu family was not stupid, he just said that it was useful to catch Huang Xian, but he didn't directly say that he wanted to kill and eat meat.

So some of the people thought of it, but they didn't think much about it, only the Liu family, who knew the inside story, was a little scared for a while.

Master Liu hurriedly looked at the master at the same table, and waited until the master gave him a slightly calm expression before he put his mind at ease.

continued to listen to Xiang Xiaoer's narration:

"It's just that today's story is not about the fox fairy in our Yingzhou, but about the fox demon of Goryeo."

As soon as Xiang Xiaoer finished speaking, the Liu family breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, it was not to say that these five immortals had nothing to do with Huang Xian, they should just talk about it casually.

Different from the Liu family, the guests ate and drank wine, and many of them had never heard of books.

"Demon?"

"Kitsune?"

"There are also fox fairies in this Goryeo?"

"Can't you? Goryeo is a barbarian, poorer than our Yingzhou, and can have fox and divine power. ”

"This is not necessarily, isn't the Loulan in the Western Desert all of them with divine power? I heard that they also attacked our Yumen Pass. ”

"That's right, now this barbarian outside the Saiwai has some skills, although the horse is not as good as our Tianhan, but it is not uncommon to have a divine power."

"Even if we have divine power, our Tianhan is also a heaven, and our Tianhan has produced countless divine powers in the past thousand years, and they can still turn against the sky with their group of barbarians?"

"Don't be noisy, don't be noisy, listen to Mr. Else."

Xiang Xiaoer didn't rush to wait for the crowd to discuss before speaking:

"You must also be the first time to hear about this fox demon, I will first briefly tell you the difference between this fox demon and the fox fairy, as we all know that the five immortals of our Yingzhou have been living in the deep mountains and old forests around here, enjoying the worship of our Yingzhou family, and will help us Tianhan to resist the enemy when they come from other places, and the fox demons of Goryeo alone do not use, they will not hide in the deep mountains and old forests to practice, but after a little cultivation, they will blend into the world.

And they don't enjoy annoying offerings like our Yingzhou Five Immortals, smoking other people's fireworks, but inhaling people's yang energy, this way is not as gentle as our Five Immortals, but the effect is faster, and their strength is faster than our Five Immortals stand-in in a short period of time. ”

Yingzhou didn't tell a story, so naturally he hadn't heard any stories, and a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy sitting at a table with a guest with a card asked:

"What is Yang Qi? Why don't we smoke the five immortals in Yingzhou, didn't you say that inhaling yang energy will take effect faster? ”

The adult next to him didn't stop him, because this question was also something that the other people present wanted to know.

Xiang Xiaoer picked up a piece of meat and handed it to the little fox, and then explained to everyone:

"This yang energy is the heating energy, the growth of the qi, a person will have yang energy when he is alive, the yang energy is strong, the body is good, the yang energy is weak, the body will be weak, sick, if the yang energy is completely absent, a person will return to the earth."

The boy asked again:

"Wouldn't the person who was sucked by the fox demon be weak and sick, and even die?"

There was a hint of fear in the boy's eyes, he was young, but he also knew what it meant to die.

Xiang Xiaoer smiled and nodded:

"Naturally, this is why our Yingzhou Five Immortals do not suck human yang energy, sucking yang energy to increase cultivation is tantamount to killing practice, although the cultivation is growing fast, but it is against the reincarnation of heaven, using this way to improve cultivation regrets becoming brutal and killing, naturally it can't be called immortals, so it's called ~ demon!"

When he said the last word, Xiang Xiaoer opened his mouth and leaked a mouthful of white teeth, which made everyone present shiver.

The concept of demon remained in everyone's hearts for a while.

"The demon is brutal and likes to eat people's yang energy, and this fox demon is the most important representative of it: 'Thousand years white, ten thousand years black' This is the way to distinguish the fox demon's cultivation.

That is to say, this fox will turn white in a thousand years, and it will turn black in 10,000 years, and the story we want to tell today is a thousand-year-old fox demon. ”

Xiang Xiaoer poured himself a glass of wine, drank it, moistened his throat, and began to say:

"It is said that in the west of Goryeo, there is a village called Zhangjia Village, which is not big, but there are more than 100 men, women and children combined.

A strange thing happened in Zhangjia Village, a single man in the village died mysteriously, obviously everyone saw him well the night before, but someone went to look for him early the next morning and found him tragically dead in his bed at home.

Strange to say, the man who died was usually a well-known strong man in the village, but after his death, he was skinny and smiling, and there was never such a thing in Zhangjia Village, and many villagers fell into panic for a while.

Fortunately, a barefoot Langzhong was diagnosed, saying that this was a strange disease of the demon seed, this man died of natural causes and not assassination, in order to avoid being infected with some kind of plague, Langzhong did not dare to let people touch the dead body, and cremated it in a hurry, and the village did not send anyone to investigate.

But not only did the 'plague' not stop, but just wanted to start, and within a few days the old man and his son of the Gao family in the village were found dead in the same bed, exactly like the man. ”
