Chapter 42: The Story of the Fox Demon (Part II)
Xiang Xiaoer's voice was not loud, but it could be heard by everyone clearly, his tone was smooth, and his magnetic voice attracted everyone's attention to the story.
The snowflakes kept drifting, but fortunately, the people in Yingzhou were used to it, and the people with the table were eating and drinking wine, and those who didn't have a table were eating two peanuts and drinking tea that they couldn't drink on weekdays.
"It's strange to say, this Gao family of three, the old man's wife died early, and only the old man Gao and his son and daughter-in-law remained.
On weekdays, the son and daughter-in-law have a room, and the old man Gao has a room by himself, and the daughter-in-law got up early that morning and found that the man was no longer there, and she didn't care that she thought she was going out, but this time she went to the public house, but she was scared of her mother.
I saw that the husband and father-in-law were naked, their bodies were dry, and their faces were smiling weirdly, and the symptoms were exactly the same as the man who died a few days ago.
The daughter-in-law of the Gao family did not dare to enter the house, so she was so frightened that she shouted loudly, and soon the rest of the people in the village also gathered, and they all thought that it was some kind of plague when they saw this symptom, and they were all so frightened that they only dared to look outside the door.
In the end, it was the barefoot man who walked into the house, and after careful investigation, he found that the man's death was the same as that of the previous few days.
Lang Zhong was a little puzzled, this son of the Gao family didn't contact the dead man that day, and the old man Gao didn't even see him, how could this be spread if it was a plague?
Besides, if it is really a plague, in what round, it should be that he has a problem first, no matter how he thinks about it, Lang Zhong feels that something is wrong, this is not a plague, it is not a disease, and the cause of death of these three people is strange.
So he told the other villagers what he thought, and the villagers felt justified, if it was a plague, it couldn't be spread like this, and they had never heard of the plague that was good the day before, and died tragically the next night, so everyone analyzed it with a lot of mouth, and finally most people thought that this should be some kind of poison, and it should be that these three people in this village happened to come into contact with it, so they died tragically.
This Lang Zhong also thought that this idea was reliable, but he couldn't make a conclusion, so the villagers decided to go to the city and ask someone who knew more to see what was going on.
The next morning, a scholar with some knowledge came to this Zhangjia village again, and when the scholar walked to the entrance of the village, he saw a snow-white fox under the big locust tree not far away, staring at him with big eyes.
This fox's fur is snow-white, and his whole body seems to be shining, and his beautiful eyes are even more fascinating, and the scholar is also well-informed, but he has never seen such beautiful eyes, and those eyes seem to be more charming than the eyes of the top brand in the flower building.
The scholar couldn't help but change direction and went straight to the big locust tree, but the white fox turned around and hid behind the tree as soon as he saw the person, and the scholar hurriedly chased behind the tree, but found that there was no one.
The scholar searched for a while, but he didn't find any traces left by the white fox, as if it was just his own momentary illusion. ”
When Xiang Xiaoer said this, he stopped, took a mouthful of food with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and took another sip of wine to moisten his throat.
Many guests ate and drank, and the food did not urge, until the young man who spoke before spoke again:
"Could it be that this white fox is the fox demon, and the men who died in this Zhangjia Village were all killed by him by sucking yang energy?"
This time, Xiang Xiaoer didn't answer him.
And his father, who was sitting next to him, also spoke a lesson:
"Hua'er, listen to Mr. Tell you naturally, remember that you can't ask the ending when listening to the story, otherwise what is the meaning of this story?"
The boy nodded as if he didn't understand.
In fact, he also asked the voices of most of the people present, and everyone listened carefully, before he said that he would tell the story of a fox demon, and the people in the village died tragically, and now he saw this snow-white fox again.
According to Xiang Xiaoer's statement of thousand-year-white and thousand-year-old black, this fox is most likely a thousand-year-old fox demon, and those who died tragically in Zhangjiacun were probably killed by the fox demon sucking yang energy.
After drinking two sips of wine, and handing the little white fox Bai Xue two pieces of meat, Xiang Xiaoer spoke again about the story of the fox fairy:
The scholar had never found the beautiful white fox, and he had not forgotten it, but he had not forgotten his business, and after a great search had failed, he went into the village and found the barefoot man who had invited him.
The bodies of the Gao family's father and son have not yet been disposed of, and this barefoot Langzhong went to check the two corpses with the scholar, the scholar read all kinds of books hard, plus he traveled south and north, and he could be regarded as having some knowledge, and after looking at it for a while, he came to the conclusion that these two people were killed by demons and monsters absorbing light yang energy.
The villagers who learned the truth were shocked, the people of this Zhangjia village have lived here for generations, and even the war has not affected them, and they have heard rumors of demons and monsters, but they have never seen them, and even everyone thinks that the so-called demons and monsters are just a rumor.
Although the scholar is well-informed, and has read many strange things in the book, he has not actually seen a real demon, but in order to avoid the tragic death of the people in Zhangjia Village again, he still said a method seen in the book.
The book says that although this demon sucks yang energy, but he is afraid of strong yang energy, so as long as everyone gathers together, this demon will not dare to do it again, and observing the three dead people, all of them are weak, and they are in the middle of the night, I am afraid that this demon's magic power is limited, and even afraid of everyone, if it is found, everyone can also work together to kill it.
After the scholar finished speaking, the people in Zhangjia Village were a little scared, it was a demon, although everyone had never seen it, but they had also heard the story, many people thought that people could fight with demons, so they were very resistant to the scholar's proposal that everyone work together to find a way to kill it.
Some people even noisily moved out and fled from this Zhangjia village, but most of the people lived here, and they were reluctant to do so for a while, so they finally decided to believe what the book said, and everyone gathered together to see the demon's reaction.
The scholar did not leave either, but stayed here.
This time, for several nights in a row, when everyone in Zhangjia Village was resting, they were all together in groups, and for a week, there were no more tragic deaths in the village.
Just when everyone thought that the demon had left, something happened again. ”
Speaking of this, Xiang Xiaoer deliberately sold a pass, did not speak in a hurry, but lowered his head and drank two sips of wine, and saw that many guests scratched their ears and cheeks, and they wanted to know the follow-up of this story but did not dare to urge.
Seeing that it was almost over, Xiang Xiaoer spoke again:
"There is a butcher in Zhangjia Village, named Zhang San, and if anyone in the village gets any delicious live creatures, they will give it to him and ask him to help with it.
Because of the perennial sticky blood, a fierce atmosphere, people dare not approach, although there is a legend of a demon recently, but still no one wants to live with him, and many people live together for a week, seeing that people do not like it, this Zhang San heart is also very unhappy, seeing that this demon has not been troubled for many days, thinking that he is leaving, so he simply returned to his home to live alone.
But he never thought that on the first day of his home, there was a problem with a snow-white body attacking him, the fox spat out people's words, the moment he saw the fox, his mind was confused, the whole person was confused, he didn't know what he was doing.
He was destined to die here, but he didn't want to die, his butcher's knife on the table suddenly fell to the ground, the sound of falling to the ground, instantly sobered him up, and immediately pushed the fox away, rushed to the ground, grabbed the pig-killing knife and slashed at the fox demon's hind legs.
The fox demon didn't seem to expect the other party to wake up, and for a while, the bright red blood stained its snow-white hair.
Woohoo!
didn't dare to attack this Zhang San again, turned around and fled, Zhang San gasped for breath, waking up like a dream.
Looking at the blood of the fox demon on the ground, he couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and then hurriedly shouted for help.
The villagers who rushed to hear the news were all shocked after learning about the situation, but they didn't expect it to be this fox demon, and they didn't expect so many people to have this fox demon not leave.
Then the scholar spoke again: "
Xiang Xiaoer coughed twice when he said this, and when he spoke again, his voice had already changed to a magnetic scholarly voice.
"It seems that my guess is correct, this fox demon should not be deep in the Tao, otherwise he would never attack a person, but was injured, I estimate that the reason why the three people were attacked successfully before was completely because they did not have the slightest understanding of the fox demon, and for a while they were confused.
In addition, a few days ago, all of us got together, this fox demon has not made a move, so it is not difficult to guess that he is still afraid of us, and only dares to pick someone to start alone, at this time this fox demon has been seriously injured, if we all work together to find out, we will be able to kill him in one fell swoop.
At that time, everyone will no longer have to be afraid of it every day. ”
As soon as Xiang Xiaoer's voice change was revealed, he couldn't help but arouse a burst of exclamations from everyone, and he was amazing.
After finishing speaking, Xiang Xiaoer changed back to his original voice and continued:
This scholar's words are reasonable, coupled with the experience of the butcher Zhang San, for a while, the villagers also lost most of their fear of the fox demon, after some persuasion, and finally carried the scholar behind his back, so everyone began in groups, looking for the fox demon in the village.
But for a few days, everyone searched the entire village, but they didn't even find the shadow of the fox demon.
And so it went by for a month. This fox demon has not appeared, everyone in the village thought that the butcher Zhang San seriously injured the fox demon, so the fox demon was afraid to escape, this scholar told the villagers to be careful in the future This fox demon may also make a comeback and then left.
Of course, if this story is like this, it will be a little boring, this fox demon is a thousand years of demon how can be seriously injured by a butcher's butcher's knife, so this story is far from over here, we say that the scholar left Zhangjia Village unconsciously lost his way, somehow went to the mountains. Scholars are also curious, how can they get lost on this road when they often walk on this road? ”
