Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 147: The Raising of Dogs and Horses
Zhang Changgong came out of the armory shop with an empty basket on his back.
Before he went in, it was full of arrows. Further on, he went to the blacksmith early in the morning, and ordered a new batch of tough iron sections, which he wanted to use to make more arrowheads. The money from the "dog farm" was used to repair the house, and there was no money to distribute to the people below. He used to be busy and it took a long time to make a good bow and a bundle of good arrows, and he had been the "supplier" of the familiar shop, where orders for his bow were in their fourth year. Now in order to make a living, I have to speed up the pace of work.
"Xiao Zhang'er?"
In the distance, he saw a young girl approaching him. Although he has aged a lot, his eyesight has not aged with him. He was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, and he was very surprised.
"How do you ......?"
"I'm looking for you to fix my bow." Ye Yuejun smiled and spread out his hand, "The last birch one is broken...... It was cut off. β
"Ah, that's a pity. That one is less to say...... Twenty years, right? That was given to you twenty years ago. What you have in your hands is really durable. But after so many years, even if it is not broken by someone, it should not be used. β
"Your craftsmanship is good, if it doesn't break like this, it won't be a problem to use it for another twenty years."
"Where's that. Toumu hadn't been soaked in medicine that year...... I've been working on a new bow lately, so I'll get it for you first. Made from native eucalyptus, it is not strong but soft, and it is more durable. It will be completed within today, and if you have nothing to do, you can go straight back to the dog farm with me. β
"Thank you so much." Ye Yuejun walked with him, "By the way, what happened to the child you adopted before?" By now, you've already got married, right? β
ββ¦β¦ Hey, this kid is stubborn. β
However, just before Longbow returned, a man entered the dog farm gate before him. At that time, Tan Ge was directing the workers in the infield to build the destroyed site, only to hear a noisy sound outside, and he was suspicious.
A strong demonic aura was approaching, and she twitched her nose keenly and turned her head to look at the entrance. With the screams of the guards, the nine-tailed cat with a red fire in his hand broke into the door again. The workers in the room who saw this scene were stunned at first, then dropped their tools and hurriedly ran away through the back door. Tan Ge crossed his waist and stared at her with a frown.
The cat was in the form of a human again, and half of her face was tattooed with fiery red lines, which were twisted and thorny, and it was impossible to see what the pattern was. They were like cracked ravines in the skin, in which lava flowed; It was like a snake that had been divided into several pieces, dying and struggling on the girl's face.
"Another one? It's endless, isn't it? Tan Ge scolded secretly, "Cat? More annoying than the previous one. β
"What's the last one? What does it have to do with me? The cat hugged his shoulders again and glanced at the audience a little casually, "Someone sent me to this place...... Is a dog farm a place? It's a name that doesn't sound like. Ah, I don't know what it is. But it's right to call your boss to see me. β
ββ¦β¦ What are you? Want to see the boss? When this is a vegetable market, you can come and go freely, and you can pick whatever you want? I think you're sincere in smashing the field. It's been a lot of strange things lately.,One or two monsters have come to make trouble.,I'm not afraid of being carried into it for the rest of my life.γ β
The cat raised an eyebrow slightly. A ray of light drifted through the crack in the roof, and her pupils tightened a little, making her look even more ferocious. She sighed lightly as if she sneered, and said, "I don't think you're going to cooperate with me, do you?" β
"Youkai who can point fingers at me are not one of them."
Suddenly, a momentary afterimage erupted behind Tan Ge, which was clearly an illusion of a fierce dog. Although she was human, she strode like a real hound, her hands propped up on a chair that was about to fall apart, and her legs kicked through it. Not to be outdone, the cat bared its fangs again, and its face was covered with pale fluff, and the patterns were even more striking and striking. Her clenched hands suddenly opened, and a row of sharp claws unsheathed like an awl, bursting with scarlet sparks.
The two girls were so agile that no one could see their movements during the fight. But there are no others, and the whole infield is their stage. More chairs that had not yet been put in order were scrapped, and freshly erected repair frames were dismantled. During the fight, Tan Ge realized that that strange flame was extremely hot, more terrifying than hallucinogenic fox fireβit could really ignite something, but it couldn't extinguish it. She'd seen this fire in other youkai before, so she could detect it before it happened.
"Stop!"
Tan Ge heard a roar full of anger.
She finally dodged the cat's claws, and the chair she had just landed on was shattered, and the sawdust was burned into black charcoal by the sparks. The cat's movements were too fast for itself, and even the afterimage could be seen, and there was a dazzling firelight, which made people unable to parry. Tan Ge landed in front of the comer, turned around and raised his hand, meaning to warn the cat not to take a step closer.
"You're in charge here?" The cat asked Longbow again.
Zhang Changgong looked at her, then looked at the mess on the ground, reprimanded Tan Ge with a black face and said:
"You girl is really not worrying."
"Is it the youkai who came to find trouble first, okay? She also hurt our brother, didn't you see it when you came back? β
Zhang Changgong does not agree with Tan Ge theory. He pressed her raised arm and took two steps forward, looking up and down at the intruding youkai. He knew someone was comingβhe had been greeted from above, but he wasn't sure if it was her, if it was ...... A youkai.
"May I ask what is the girl's name, and what is the reason for coming here?"
The cat reached out again, and the nails were already retracted. She straightened her messy hair like a real cat, and said somewhat casually, "Just call me Xiaobai." Someone asked me to come here, and I went directly to your boss and said that I was asked for help with something. See, that's how you treat yourself? That's so gracious! β
"Bai girl, I'm really sorry, it was Zhang's negligence, I didn't say hello to my subordinates, and I was lucky to think that you wouldn't come so early. His Excellency Kai Gong has not yet visited, so please be calm. Because a fox demon came here a few days ago to make a fuss.,We're a little more vigilant about the foreign monsters.,Please forgive me.γ If you don't mind, you can stay here for two days. I'm going to make people ......."
Hearing the name of the boss, Tan Ge was silent. But looking at her stubborn eyes, she didn't regret what she had just done at all, and even felt that she didn't start hard enough. For some reason, she just didn't like the stinky girl, and the latter happened to be - maybe this is the innate opposition between cats and dogs.
"No need." Xiaobai waved his hand, "The monsters you have locked up here are too noisy, and they can't sleep well." I heard this movement three blocks away, like a pig. And also...... Take care of your dogs. β
The contemptuous look made Tan Ge grit his teeth again. Zhang Changgong couldn't help it, he knew that this girl had been living with the dog demon, and she had formed such a habit in her early years. After so many years, I can't change it.
"I'll come back in two days, and I'll deal with it casually first, and you don't have to worry about me."
With that, she turned to the back door and walked away.
Tan Ge sighed heavily, turned his head and said, "Who are you?" β
Ye Yuejun took a few steps forward from the door, but still kept her distance. Presumably, the white cat just now was also aware of her existence, but she didn't ask. She also glanced around the venue and shook her head helplessly.
Zhang Changgong introduced her and said that this was Mu Dye Yanlai Ye Yuejun, one of the six impermanences. Ye Yuejun just nodded slightly, ignoring Tan Ge's vigilant gaze. But compared to the youkai, when she realized that the person in front of her was still human, she was not so hostile.
Ye Yuejun was a little uneasy.
The demonic aura on the cat's body just now will be the handiwork of the Immortal Moon Jun tomorrow. Although this belonged to Gao Yuejun's territory and she didn't have to be nosy, she still cared a lot about what Immortal Moon Jun sent people to do here. She naturally knows what "dog farm" means, and as a monster, she naturally has a grudge against this place, but she has no right to ask.
"In my opinion, there's a huge Gu pond there."
In the inn at night, Ye Yuejun said to everyone.
Dai Luan scratched her head: "Gu Pond? I do not quite understand...... Does it mean the pool underneath? β
"No...... How do I explain that? Gao Yuejun is the best at yin and yang techniques and Gu poison techniques, and the entire dog farm is her test field. If you take a Gu Cup, put the five poisons into it, and let them fight you to the death, the last one left is the so-called Poison King. The Shadow Pavilion should be to screen out what kind of monsters are eligible to ......"
Mu Wan was a little confused: "Didn't you say that those winners were very beautiful?" β
"Alas. Man will only care about the winner of the renewal, and will only care about the process of becoming king...... After that, they won't be interested. β
"I'm very uneasy about the Shadow Pavilion." Shan Hai lifted his sideburns and frowned, "They were studying the art of corpse control before, as well as the method of resurrecting souls...... Now what is the poison king? Also, they have been thinking about the cloud outer mirror, it seems that because of the lack of manpower in studying some forbidden arts, it is also to facilitate the search for materials. I always felt that they were too dangerous. β
"But this Gao Yue-kun is really okay." Dai Luan propped up her face, "Her most powerful henchmen are the five poisons, and it will probably take a lot of thought to tame them." Moreover, it seems that they are brothers and sisters on the inside. β
Ye Yuejun smiled bitterly: "Where is there an innate harmonious relationship. Some of them were not the original five poisons...... Between the five poisons and between the master and the servant, they have all gone through a bloody run-in like a bloody run-in, which has become such a stable situation now. β
"Huh? Who is it? β
"The youngest one is."
"Miss Zhu Tong?"
"Yes. The spider demon in the past was a man who had a good relationship with She Jiu. Alas, it's useless to say that, but it's better to think about what we should each do next. β
After Ye Yuejun finished speaking, Shanhai answered.
"You said it before...... Was Twilight adopted by the man named Zhang Longbow? β
"Ah, yes, that's it...... Longbow is her adoptive father. Because her canine adoptive mother is dead, she was attacked by witchers and sold to a dog farm. As a result, because the attack was too heavy, he died in Huangquan. She stayed there now just to wait for those murderers to reappear, so that she could avenge her adoptive mother with her own hands. β
"The ...... of his biological parents' hatred"
"You mean the rich man? Didn't Liang Yue-kun tell you? Those wicked people were gathered by her adoptive mother and killed them all one by one...... But her adoptive mother was a gentle monster, and I had seen it. I heard that during that time, she lived in the mountains with her young Tan Ge. When some monsters saw her, they rejected her, saying that there was a human stench on the girl's head. In order to protect her, the dog demon always smiled and said that she was also a monster, but a monster that looked like a human......"
Shanhai sighed softly.
Some people don't look like youkai, but they have a heart that is more vicious than a youkai...... That's the most foul-smelling thing.
