"He walks silently, his ears are outstanding, and he has such nails...... It's a cat demon, right? Not to mention that he has been practicing for more than a hundred years. ”

These words did not come from the mouth of Shi Wuren, but the long-awaited mountains and seas on the roof behind him. He was very good, but he still caught the attention of the white girl. He held the lamp in one hand, and suddenly raised the other, and splashed a bowl of water melted with the manifestation charm on her.

Suddenly, her hair exploded, and she let out a piercing, inhuman scream. Shi Wuqi let go of his hand and avoided her, sometimes pulling her hair, sometimes shaking wildly, as if she hated the water. A few wisps of green smoke came out of her face, and when she calmed down and let go of her hand, her appearance completely changed.

The white girl's face was white and pointed, covered with fine and soft fluff, and a large yellow spot. Her teeth had become sharp, like her fingernails. Behind her, a long, thin white tail was revealed, flapping up and down irritably.

Around the tail, there are several afterimages of aura gathering, which look like nine agile tails. The cat cultivates a tail every nine years, and when it is a real adult, it has a real nine lives.

She wanted to run, but here and there was a formation that put her legs tightly in place.

She fell to her knees and bowed her head deeply.

"I said that I don't want to see me during the day, because I was tired of the smell of dogs."

At this time, Mu Wan walked over with an umbrella, followed by Ah Luan and Miss Qi on both sides.

"Miss Liang Qiu actually came to see me? Why, I'm really afraid that I'll leave Miss Qi and run away with other vixens? ”

Shi Wuqi teased him like this, but Mu Wan ignored him. But Shanhai picked up the conversation:

"Seeing that you left Miss Qi, I knew what you meant. As soon as she went out as you wished, we followed. It's not a vixen, but it's not much worse. Monsters like them are very easy to deceive ordinary people. ”

Carrying the lamp, Shanhai jumped out of the house and came to the white girl. Shi Wuqi said:

"When I went to the ravine of which she spoke, there were many slain travelers. I touched their bones, and the White Maiden's words were true. Then, I went to the place where you asked to bury the villager, and I also touched my bones, and saw that what he saw before his death was indeed the face of this cat demon, which was very fierce. Presumably, the other men who were killed were also eaten by her. I'm afraid that if two more people die, this magic circle will not be able to stop her demonic power. ”

"So, it's time to get rid of the scourge?"

Mu Wan pointed the umbrella at her and was stopped by Shi Wuqi. The white girl suddenly raised her head, bared her teeth, and almost bit the tip of her umbrella.

"Listen to me. I found the only old skeleton in the ravine where the body was dumped. It was an old lady...... The white girl's words are half-true and half-false, and the truth lies in her life experience. This old lady married here when she was young, her husband fell ill and died early, and she had no children under her knees, so she was indeed angry with many people in the village. ”

Mu Wan sighed lightly.

Later, a cat with yellow flowers on a white background came to her house, and she named it Xiaobai to take care of it. Xiaobai is actually a cat demon who has been cultivating for a hundred years, and often steals some food and small objects from villagers to subsidize the family. After many years, the old lady was sick in bed and was approached by a group of robbers, naturally the gangsters of the village. They said that it was the old lady who had trained the cat to steal things, and that they were going to take all the things back. Even so, they lacked her dowry back then, Xiaobai was not there, she tried her best to stop it, and was beaten to lose most of her life. By the time Xiaobai came back, he was already powerless. ”

"I thought I would be if only I could share her life," the white girl suddenly raised her head, "but I didn't have that much power at that time—knowing that cannibalism can have such strong demonic power, I should have eaten them all alive!" Planted in the hands of you charlatans, count me unlucky. I have more to live, you kill me, and I will come back for revenge-"

"Xiaobai, do you really hate them so much?" Dai Luan walked up to her, supported her legs with her hands and asked her.

"They all deserve to die! There is not a single good thing in humanity! Only...... Grandma is different. Once, she mistakenly saw me in human form and choose a dish, but she was not afraid of me because I was a youkai, and drove me away, unlike anyone I had seen before. They only saw that I was a cat or a human, and if I changed my appearance, they would no longer recognize me, and would only curse the monsters. ”

"So you want to eat them one by one?" Ah Luan asked, "But not everyone has harmed grandma, aren't you also harming innocent people like this?" ”

"I don't care! Is an indifferent bystander innocent? I want each of them to know what it's like to lose a loved one! ”

Xiaobai showed his fierce appearance again, and Shi Wuqi pulled away Ah Luan. He approached her and said to her earnestly:

"I've heard enough about the grievances and grievances of monsters against people. I've seen a lot of monsters like you, so I'm the first to disagree with killing you. Why don't I tell you a good thing? I have a way to take revenge on that group of people for you, and you just stop it, how about staying away from the rights and wrongs of this mountain village? ”

"By you? What are you? ”

"Lord of a hundred bones, give no abandonment."

Xiaobai's eyes suddenly lit up, and they were much larger than the pupils during the day. The bright light in the morning made her pupils slightly slender and a little more seductive. Now it seems to be a little softer.

"You're the Lord of the Hundred Bones? That one...... People who prefer to hang out with youkai? No wonder you have such a heavy demonic aura on you. But what can you do? If I don't kill the wicked myself, I won't be reconciled. ”

She was resolute. Shan Hai pondered for a moment and stepped forward:

"Well, White Maiden, let's take a step back. We won't kill you, and we ask you to spare the rest of the villagers. As for grandma's hatred, Shi Gongzi will find a way for you. And the regret in this...... I'm an old acquaintance with a person who is impermanent, and I'll ask you where my grandmother was reincarnated, and if you leave here to find her, you can meet her again, how about that? ”

“…… It's true? ”

The white girl's eyes were bright, as if all the stars in the sky had fallen into her eyes.

"Can't lie to you? Businessman, pay attention to the word integrity. ”

“…… But what are you going to do? ”

Shi Wuqi raised the fan and whispered something in her ear. This way, this way, Xiao Bai nodded slightly, as if he approved of his method. Mu Wan asked with some curiosity: "What do you want?" ”

Shi Wuqi just "snapped" and put away the fan, and said with a smile, secret.

He asked Shanhai to release the formation that bound Xiaobai, but Shanhai hesitated, but he said that it didn't matter. So Shanhai pulled out the charm from his cuff, burned it with spiritual power, and the array was unraveled.

Xiaobai tried to stand up, shaking a little. Mu Wan also raised her umbrella with some vigilance, protecting Ah Luan with one hand, and saw that she really had no intention of attacking, so she relaxed a little.

"By the way, Mu Wan, where did you see the monster you who resisted the fire you mentioned earlier?"

So, they split into two paths. This time, Mu Wan took Shanhai and Ah Luan to the place where they fought before, and Xiaobai and Shi Wuqi were together. The two were a little far away, and she summoned the tengu and drove the three of them to the place of the incident. Ah Luan flew so high for the first time, and looked at the mountains and forests excitedly and curiously, and the mountains and seas were really afraid that she would fall headlong.

In a few moments, they fell to the ground. Rin Yamakai raised the lamp a little, and everywhere the aperture could reach, there were some burned-out grass and tree dust. The smell of burnt food had long since dissipated with the mountain wind, but occasionally, there were still sparks that had not been completely extinguished flickering in the darkness.

The destroyed trees and rocks silently illustrate a thrilling battle not long ago.

"I was here, trapped by a wall of fire. Shi Gongzi arrived in time to disperse the deadly fire...... If he doesn't say a few words, he will still have two hits. ”

Although he was reluctant to admit it, Mu Wan did not hesitate to praise.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the grass ahead. All three of them were alert, for fear that they would not be able to parry.

What emerged from among the bushes was their old acquaintance, Jiyue-kun.

"Huh? You have not rested in this great night. ”

Although he couldn't see it, Jiyue-kun knew who the few people in front of him were. The three of them who were on the verge of a great enemy breathed a sigh of relief, and Ah Luan said as if complaining:

"You wonder what you're doing here at night? We thought youkai were coming. ”

Jiyuejun lifted his sideburns, and his tone was a little confused.

"Why can't I be here? There is a spiritual vein here, and it is very convenient for me to come to find you. ”

"Spiritual veins?"

Mu Wan fell into a brief thought. She suddenly remembered something, raised her voice, and said with some excitement:

"Back in Huansha City, do you remember? It's not that someone destroyed the spiritual veins and broke the balance between the two realms. I happened to meet that monster twice, both by the spirit vein, could it be that he is ......"

Shanhai frowned and responded, it's not that this possibility is impossible. Jiyuejun lifted his chin and said unhurriedly:

"I don't know who the monster you're talking about, but I'm here to tell you about the progress of the incident in Huansha City. Over there, the adult handed it over to Ye Yuejun to do. When I went back to the underworld to report, I saw her, although she did not find out the truth for the time being, but she told me that the person who trapped the fox of Heshen was actually Pei Yuanwai. ”

"Pei Yuanwai?!" The three exclaimed in exclamation almost at the same time.

"I can't say that, someone pretended to be Pei Yuanwai and exchanged with you, the real him was tied up and trapped in the firewood room of Yu'an Restaurant. When he was discovered, he almost starved to death. It's just that when he came to his senses, he didn't remember anything, and so did the people who pretended to be him—the impostor you saw was another god of Heshen, a tanuki. It's just that the tanuki has also been injected with fake memories and can't remember anything. ”

They were speechless in astonishment. The most bizarre thing was that none of them had seen the impostor's true identity, at least not even the fact that he was not human. As if knowing what they were thinking, Jiyue-kun continued:

"Well, it stands to reason that I should have been able to detect that Pei Yuanwai was a monster - but I didn't even see the flaw. It seems that the initiator of all this must not be an idle person...... By the way, what about the monster you just mentioned? ”
