Chapter 374: The Goatee's Enemy
"Humph! Now that you know you're scared? β
The old man with the goatee was a little smug, and he continued.
"That's not the most terrible thing, I've heard that if you stay there for a long time, your hair will turn gray and your face will become as old as me. If you think about it, in the future, you will only be a teenager, but you will have to wear a face that looks like you are seventy or eighty years old......"
The weasel was so frightened that he covered his face.
The goatee became more and more proud, and the more exaggerated he became, and after he had finished another tirade, the weasel said in a faint voice: "Then let's go back, I think it was good there just now." β
Goatee: "I want to, too!" Don't you think I like to go through the snowy mountains like this? But you've already shown a strong sense of autonomy, and it's too late to pretend to be stupid anymore. I'm angry when I say this, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to go down the mountain so embarrassed. You can't pretend to be stupid first, wait for the old man and I to collect the money, you can run wherever you like, and you can slip away as much as you want. β
Weasel: "Can't you just let me go?" β
Goatee: "If you let it go, who will bear my damaged spiritual weapons and my damaged spiritual mansion?" If you can get enough spirit stones, I'll let you go now. β
Weasel: "In my sea of knowledge, there are methods for making spirit stones, but it needs to be in a place where there is plenty of spiritual energy, and I should be able to make an intermediate spirit stone in a month." If you let me go back, I will send you spirit stones every month in the future. β
Goatee: "What's the use of that!" Can I wait for you for twenty or thirty years? Am I stupid? Okay, let's not talk nonsense, when I get to Zhihu in a few days, I obediently pretend to be stupid, don't let me continue to run around, okay? β
Weasel: "But the Zhihu clan you said is so scary, I don't want to go." Can you send me somewhere else? β
"What stupid things are you talking about?" Goatee scolded, "Although the Zhihu clan is mercenary and very strict, they are so reasonable. Do you want to go to the Phantom Fox Clan? Or is it the multi-tailed fox that claims to be the orthodox fox that has no one in the eyes? β
Weasel: "How's that vision fox?" β
Goatee: "Not good, not at all." The people of this tribe are very naΓ―ve, and they take pleasure in playing tricks on each other all day long......"
The weasel said happily, "Isn't that great?" Send me there! β
Goatee: "Are you stupid!" This Phantom Fox clan is a bit ...... Insane, and the least numerous of the four tribes. They don't care about reproduction, they indulge in illusory dreams and illusions all day long......"
"Isn't that great? Then you send me there! The weasel was getting happier and happier.
The goatee made a straight face: "The elders speak, and the juniors don't always interrupt." β
The weasel nodded happily: "I like to dream a lot, I always feel that my dreams are too short, if I can stay in dreams all the time, it will be fun." β
Goatee: "But in that case, your body will be weakened." Your spirit will also be lost in dreams. Do you know how many of their hallucinating fox clans do they sleep forever once they dream a year? β
The weasel was taken aback: "Can you still die if you dream?" β
Goatee: "Of course. Dreams consume your consciousness and spirit, as the saying goes, you can sleep well without dreams all night, and if your consciousness is consumed in dreams, then it is not strange to die in dreams. β
"It's scary, then I'd better go to that multi-tailed fox clan." The weasel palpitated.
Goatee was stunned for a moment, a little crying and laughing, he said: "Actually, the Zhihu clan is the best choice, the reason why I said so many bad things about them is only because I suffered a lot of losses at their hands." As for the multi-tailed fox family, it is really not a good place to go, they determine their status by the number of tails, and those with many tails are extremely inferior to those with few tails, and a foreigner like you is even more unlikely to be treated well. β
As he spoke, Goatee was a little confused, why did he say so much, why did he persuade the weasel to go to the best Zhihu clan? Make yourself feel like an elder who is careful about his children......
"Humph! It's not up to you to decide where to go, what am I doing here. I'll say one last thing, if you don't cooperate and don't want to join the Zhihu clan, you can only go to the Vision clan as a short-lived ghost for so long, or go to the multi-tailed fox clan to be the lowest-class servant servant. With that, Goatee pressed the weasel into his clothes and walked down the hill in the face of the wind and snow.
Leaving the snowy mountains and coming to a town where no snow no longer falls, Goatee finds an inn and eats a feast, then goes upstairs to get ready for a night's rest.
The weasel was tied to a vertical beam in the middle of the house.
But he was kind enough to order some pastries and put them on the table within the reach of the weasel.
Looking at the colorful pastries in front of him and smelling the strong fragrance, the weasel who had been hungry all day dripped a table of saliva.
It gobbled it up, and after filling its stomach, it was still not satisfied, so it continued to nibble on the pastry and savor it.
When it was on the road during the day, it had already slept enough, so it was not sleepy at all.
When it was full, it slipped off the table and tried to nibble on the rope that bound its feet.
It's just that the rope seems to be made of cotton and linen and some unknown grass, but it can resist the weasel's teeth that can gnaw at hardwood. After grinding for most of the day, there was no trace at all.
If you keep grinding this rope...... And what about the vertical beams?
The weasel set his sights on the other end of the rope, the wooden pillar about three feet wide. But the bite makes a sound, and it's not good if you wake up the goatee. If only it rained heavily......
The weasel looked at the window and thought silently, "Let's rain, it's raining, it's going to rain hard, it's better to have lightning and thunder......
I don't know if the weasel's sincerity touched God, anyway, after a while, there was a murmuring sound outside the window.
"Boomβ"
Thunder and lightning began to mingle, and the room where the candles had been extinguished was flickering with the light of lightning. Goatee was also woken up, and he got up and walked to the window, closed the wind-blown "creak" window, and then lowered the thick cloth tent.
After a while, the sound of his steady breathing could be heard.
The weasel, who pretended to be asleep, shook his ears and made sure that he was really asleep, and quietly came to the wooden post.
Accompanied by the sound of thunder, rain and wind, a small sound of grinding teeth also quietly sounded.
"Squeak... Squeak......"
After a few grinds, the weasel stopped, because the sound of the steady breathing of the goatee in his ears suddenly stopped, and he was so frightened that he also stopped his mouth. But when I listened closely, I realized that the goatee had just turned over.
The weasel let out a sigh of relief and continued to gnaw at the wooden pillar.
As the minutes passed, the weasel had almost completely broken the wooden pillar, and suddenly there was a slight noise from the window, which frightened the weasel to stop biting and look at the window.
I saw that the window was slashed open, and a thin figure jumped in, although it was thin, it could still be seen from the size of the girl.
Strangely, the girl landed without making a sound, much to the surprise of the weasels, who were engrossed in erecting their ears.
The figure slowly approached the bed, the blade less than a foot in his hand shining coldly in the flash of lightning.
What to do? Do you want to shout loudly to warn Goatee to be careful? If you don't remind you, the goatee that sleeps so heavily will definitely not be doomed. But if you wake him up and can't run away, will he miss his kindness? Weasels are not sure.
The thick cloth tent was quietly lifted, and the sharp blade was less than an inch from the goatee's throat.
"Squeak squeak...... Killed! Help me! β
The weasel didn't know why he suddenly screamed, and he had decided to ignore it, but his mouth was screaming uncontrollably. But because of its small size, the rat cries it made were really not loud, but although the sound was not loud, it still made the killer pause.
The killer was startled by the sudden rat call, but she quickly steadied herself and stabbed Goatee in the throat.
"Bang!"
A dense gust of wind struck, and the figure of the killer was forced to retreat, and she landed and stood firm and laughed angrily: "Heh! It turns out that the old guy even gave himself a defensive spell to sleep, but he is really quite vigilant, but this kind of spell lasts for one night, and it is estimated that it will cost at least a dozen primary spirit stones, right? It's almost an intermediate-grade spirit stone, more than 300 days a year, one piece a day, oh...... It's unimaginable. β
"Who are you? What enmity do I have against you? Goatee asked with a frown.
"Huh! Grudge? When you sold me to the Spirit Stone Mine, you probably wouldn't have thought that I would slip out one day, would you? All the suffering and humiliation I have endured over the years is due to you. You sanctimonious, demonic demon dealer! Today is your day of death! β
The thin girl clenched her blade and rushed towards the goatee.
"Boom-"
"A little wind wall, can you stop me?" The skinny girl scoffed. The blade in his hand flashed with cold light, breaking through the wind wall.
Goatee took a few steps back in fright, recited the incantation in his mouth, and threw the magic in his hand one by one.
Wind blades, wind arrows, large and small tornadoes, flat push winds, and other tricks are all aimed at the thin girl.
But the thin girl only used the sharp blade in her hand to dissolve all the spells that attacked her.
Goatee was shocked: "What is the weapon in your hand?" Why are you so restrained from my spells? I don't want to die and wonder why your weapon is so useful. β
"Humph! What's the matter with telling you, you're already a mortal person anyway, and you can only bring my secret into the underworld......"
The thin girl was about to answer, when another girl's voice came from outside the window: "Don't make a difference, fight quickly, if you cause patrols here, it will be difficult for the two of us to get out." β
The goatee was inexplicably frightened, there was more than one enemy, and there was one outside!
Skinny girl: "Don't talk nonsense with you, let's die!" β
She rushed at the goatee with lightning speed, and just as she thought she was about to get it, a chain sprang out from beside her, tying her up before she could come to her senses.
In fact, it wasn't that she couldn't react, but when the chain touched her, a sealing power instantly spread all over her body, and she hurriedly mobilized the spiritual power in her body to resist.
But when she successfully prevented the invasion of the power of the seal, when she came back to her senses, her body was bound by iron chains, and there was a steady stream of sealing power from the chains.
"Big sister, save me!"
The skinny girl shouted to the window.
A shadow was reflected on the ground by the light of thunder and lightning, and another girl was about to enter.
Goatee suddenly said, "I don't want to do this, but if you keep stepping in, then this girl's life is not guaranteed to survive until you save her." β
The shadow paused, and the girl's voice came: "Your Excellency has such a powerful magic weapon, why should you be afraid of our two weak women, why not have you and I have a duel in a dignified duel, how about it?" β
Goatee smiled and said: "I don't dare to joke with my life, now that people are in my hands, I have the right to speak, you have to listen to me." β
"Eldest sister, don't worry about me, kill this dog thief, and avenge our brothers and sisters, it's not a pity for me to die." The thin girl suddenly changed her words and asked the other girl not to be afraid of her.
Seeing that the shadow did not move at all, the thin girl urged: "Sister, what are you waiting for!" Have you forgotten how the two of us escaped from that terrible hell? Have you forgotten your brothers and sisters who still haven't seen you yet? If you let him go today and let him slip away, next time I don't know what year and month I will have to wait until I can kill the murderer! β
The shadow moved, and sighed, "That is so...... Then I'm sorry. Little sister, I hope you will join a good family in the next life. β
As soon as the words fell, many sharp-beaked small finches flew into the room, and those small finches opened their mouths, and purple-red balls of light were condensed in their mouths.
The goatee and the skinny girl are all surrounded, and the next moment they will be attacked by the purple-red ball of light.
"Wait! Please stop for now! β
Goatee exclaimed, he didn't want to die with this skinny girl, he still wanted to live, live well.
It was unfortunate, if it weren't for the destruction of his strongest Bundle of Spirit Ribbons, which combined attack and defense, he would not have been afraid of these spells at all.
The purple-red ball of light in the mouths of the sharp-billed finches dissipated, and the girl's voice came: "Do you have anything to say?" β
Goatee: "We don't have to fight to the death, and I didn't capture all of your brothers and sisters, did we?" Let's make a discussion, you let me go, I will give you the list of those who have harmed you, it is better to kill me than to take revenge on more enemies, do you say? β
Girl: "Who knows if the list you gave me is true or not, if you give me a fake list, I won't be able to tell the difference." β
Goatee: "Hahaha, I can make a soul oath with my soul, if I falsify, I will definitely fall into hell forever and never turn back." β
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange divine light drifted into his forehead.
Girl: "Okay, then you can give me the list." β
Goatee: "How can this work, you haven't promised not to attack me in the future, if you don't make an oath, how can I rest assured that I will hand over the list of life-savings." β
The girl hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to swear or not.
This is the thin girl who was held hostage shouting: "Let me swear, I have made an oath with my soul, if I regret chasing and killing Hu Banxian, I will definitely not die a good death, and I will not be reborn in the past life after death." β
Goatee smiled and nodded, then looked out the window: "What about you?" β
The thin girl said angrily: "I have already sworn that you still want the eldest sister to ......"
Goatee: "You can give up your life to kill me, I can't believe your oath, but since you swore too, of course I'm more relieved." β
The thin girl said angrily: "Treacherous villain! β
Goatee was noncommittal, and continued to ask out the window, "If you don't come in and swear in front of me, I won't believe it." β
There was silence outside for a while, and then a tall girl flew in lightly through the window and stepped on the ground without making a sound.
Because she was against the light, the goatee couldn't see her face clearly, and she made a poisonous oath in front of several people.
Goatee finally put his mind at ease and handed a jade slip to the tall girl.
"Stop, don't come near me." The tall girl suddenly stopped with a voice.
The thin girl took the jade slip from the goatee's hand, and then walked over to the tall girl, and the two of them turned their minds, jumped slightly, and flew out.
Goatee breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly remembered that when he was half-asleep and half-awake, he seemed to hear the "squeak" of a weasel. He came to the place where the weasel was locked, and then he saw the wooden beams in the house that had been gnawed half a circle and were crumbling.
One person and one mouse stared at each other, and after a long time, Goatee broke the silence between the two, and he laughed dryly: "Ha... Ha ha...... So you're a little weasel.
The weasel didn't say anything, it stared at the goatee with a wary expression, although it didn't know anything about human affairs, but the basic truth was passed down from memory for a long time. Just now, this old man with a goatee actually betrayed his friends in order to protect himself...... Although his friends don't seem to be good people, one yard is one yard, and people who can be so greedy for life and afraid of death and betray others at will are definitely not good people.
The weasel had a good impression of him before, and his arrest was just caused by the natural law of the jungle, and he had no complaints. But now, it really looked down on the old goatee.
The old man with the goatee didn't know what the little weasel was thinking, and he laughed, "Even if you break the beams, you won't be able to escape far." The spirit rope suppresses your spiritual power, you can only escape at the speed of an ordinary weasel, and once I wake up, I can control the spirit rope at will, as long as I move my fingers, I can let the spirit rope catch you, a little weasel who has no ability to resist. So don't try to run away, and obediently follow me to the Zhihu Clan. β
Seeing that the little weasel was still glaring at him with hostility, and the goatee was also a little confused, he asked, "Where have I offended you?" β
The little weasel said indignantly, "You betrayed your friends. β
Hearing the little weasel's words, the old man with the goatee was stunned, and then laughed and said, "Hahahaha...... Were you angry about this? Hahaha, I'm laughing to death, let me tell you, the list I gave them just now was fake, and by the time they looked for the first spot on the list, I had already gone away. β
Weasel: "But you just swore by your soul, and that oath is ...... divine light"
"Hahaha. That's fake, it's a little trick of mine, are you really serious? Sure enough, like the two girls who are not deeply involved in the world, they are so easy to be deceived. Goatee laughed and pinched a few spells.
The weasel saw a light that was exactly the same as the oath just now, suddenly appear, and floated into the forehead of the goatee.
"It's amazing! How is this done? The weasel only sighed in surprise and asked curiously.
Goatee: "Hey, it's easy. If you don't make trouble for me along the way, when you get to the Zhihu realm, I will teach you this method, and you can also use this method to deceive people in the future. β
The weasel shook his head and said, "I won't use this method to deceive people, I'm just curious and want to know." β
The goatee squeezed his eyebrows and said, "That's not necessarily, in the future, the trick will be in your hands, and if you can resist using it, then I really admire you." β
The weasel raised his head and said, "I'm sure I won't." β
......
After this incident, Goatee didn't trap the weasel into a ball and throw it into his clothes, he now let the weasel squat on his shoulder, but the weasel's legs were still tied with spirit ropes.
Although the weasel is required to stay on the shoulders of the goatee, it prefers to climb on the hat of the goatee and sit there, because it can see the surroundings from there, unlike staying on the shoulder, where there is always one side that cannot be seen.
And standing on the hat you can see higher and farther.
The people in the market are not very curious about a weasel squatting on the head of a Taoist priest, because this is the demon world, and there are many 'people' with different looks coming and going on the street, some of them have ears on their heads, some flick a tail, and some simply carry a beast head, everyone... It should be that the demons have long been accustomed to this, and they will not dare to be strange.
Those who look at others with strange eyes are either people from the deep mountains and forests who have never seen much of the world, or they are human beings in the human world.
The weasel is one of the former, and it looks curiously at the places passing by and passing by. It's also thanks to the fact that it's just a weasel now, and if it's in human form, and staring at others for a long time, it may encounter some more irritable demons as a provocation.
Then it may incur serious consequences, at least a few words can make sense, or at worst it may be a big fight.
However, the goatee did not hesitate to look at the people or demons who came and went around him.
