262. Little fox
"The red bird flies over the Yellow Magpie Slope."
"The house bird flew over the house bird slope."
"Redbird ......"
"House Bird ......"
"Redβred."
"Roomβroom."
"Oh, my little ancestor," the woman helplessly, raised her hand and rubbed the pink little face of the child in front of her, a green sleeping stone wrench, lining her slender fingers with extra tenderness, and the woman's thumb hooked a pale cyan embroidered with large flowers. Originally, it was a tone of hatred that iron does not become steel, but at the moment it was an indissoluble love on his face.
"Mother, I don't want to learn," said the little boy of five or six years old, in a milky voice, shaking his two dangling feet with pity in his eyes.
"Yes, well, I don't want to learn," said the woman, seeing that her heart was soft, and she stretched out one hand to arrange the hair that had leaked from the child's forehead; Looking at each other, the other hand had naturally swept over the table, picking out a green and sweet fruit from the fruit bowl full of seasonal fruits and vegetables.
This one fell into the woman's hand, and the two palm-sized fruits were all blue, but the tips of the two ends were purple and black, and when eating, the fruit was pinched off, and the skin was peeled off along the edge of the natural protrusion, and the full and juicy flesh inside was easily revealed. Just like the season of "Burning Season", it is simple and straightforward.
The woman tore off a small piece of flesh and held it up to the child's mouth: "Whoa! β
"Woo," the flesh was just the right size, and when it was stuffed into its mouth, the child could no longer speak. The little boy looked at his mother with big watery eyes, and his cheeks were bulging.
"It's so sweet." Although I don't have any ideas, I feel like staying by my mother's side like this, it's the best!
From the encounter between Li Xiao's consciousness and Chang Jizhen, time went back to a few hours ago, Tiannan Domain, the former Li family land-Xiuzhi Peak.
Outside a palace complex where majesty and loneliness overlapped, three pairs of eyes looked at each other, even if they occasionally exchanged glances like this, but then they looked away.
It's just that under the strange atmosphere, none of the owners of the eyes spoke first, and they didn't know how long this dull atmosphere lasted, and the three of them didn't look embarrassed.
The warm breeze blew the robes gently, but on the faces of the three people, it looked a little hot.
Because the increase season has not yet arrived, the Nantian bamboos planted on the small island in the middle of the lake not far away still look like artemisia, they are dancing towards the sky, and their strong branches are like thin beggars with only skin and bones, even if they do not show the slightest weakness. This invisible scene made the three middle-aged people swing their bodies uncomfortably.
As for the palace in front of him, it is no longer called Taixuan Palace, but renamed Weiyang Palace, and the owner of the palace is the old demon of Weiyang.
After two changes of ownership, in the face of the stronger Weiyang Old Demon, the local families in the Tiannan Region could not afford any resistance, so they could only choose to surrender.
As the heads of the remaining three families except the Li family, the Han family, the Ying family, and the Hui family, the three heads of the family received a summoning order not long ago. The content of the order only mentions that they should come as soon as possible without delay. But when they arrived, the three were left to dry outside the palace.
At this time, the straightforwardness of the seven-colored sunshine in the scorching season began to make people unbearable. The gate of the palace not far away was open, there were no guards and servants, and the space was dark and gloomy, as if some demon was breeding.
While the three of them were guessing, in the somewhat dim palace, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in high heels. This shocked the three people who were looking forward to it, but they quickly reacted that it was a pretty figure in a red suit.
No matter what the three of them thought in their hearts, the red-suited figure finally walked out and stood in the sun. The person who came was dressed in a snow-white gauze shirt, covered with a red undershirt, and the white gauze was not real, but vaguely gave a hazy texture below; On the corners of the red clothes, there are irregular oval patterns embroidered with gold wire, squeezed into a row, with a little lace style.
"Li Tiangongzi," the three of them didn't dare to slack off, and they greeted each other again and again, calling out the identity of this "old acquaintance".
"The three of you have been waiting for a long time, please come with me," compared to when Li Xiao crossed over and saw him, Li Tiangongzi's appearance was obviously much haggard. Under the delicate face that is more beautiful than any woman, it is difficult to hide a trace of tiredness, adding a little morbid beauty to it, like a night plum that blooms alone in a snowy night, which makes people can't help but pity in their hearts; And her plump figure, under such a temperament, makes every man who sees it can't help but be tempted and have some kind of bad fantasy.
When the words fell, Li Tiangongzi turned around and walked towards the palace. It's not that he's cold, it's just his personality. After Li Tiangongzi left, it was only a few steps away, and the three of them hurriedly followed, but they didn't dare to go too fast, let alone take a look at Li Tiangongzi. I remember the last person who dared to look at Li Tiangongzi like that, who was here, and he was gouged out of his eyes by the old demon of Weiyang.
"The guy who is on the top by his ass, what is there to be proud of," the head of the Han family, who walked at the end, muttered in a low voice, venting his dissatisfaction in his heart. Immediately, he saw the other two people quicken their pace and move away from him quietly, which made the head of the Han family feel cold and didn't dare to say a word more.
The palace of the Li family is named after the mountain, which is called Xiuzhi Palace, and the palace master of Taixuan Palace after that is even more unlucky, but he wants to overturn and rebuild, but just demolished a part, and he didn't even have time to build, so he was occupied by the old devil of Weiyang.
Compared with what happened to the palace master of Taixuan Palace, the Li family was much luckier, after all, after the old demon of Weiyang broke through the guardian formation, he directly slaughtered all the monks of Taixuan Palace above the Venerable Realm, and in order to vent his anger, all the ordinary monks who surrendered were brought to sacrifice to the sky. In just one day's work, a bloody case has been created!
Han Yinghui, why the heads of the three families are so silent, it is precisely because they are intimidated by the vicious and decisive methods of the old demon of Weiyang.
When the old demon of Weiyang took power alone, he didn't have the heart to build any more palaces, so this hall was extremely decadent, and even more bloody tragedies before, as if there were ghosts and ghosts haunting here, all the corners were covered with thick dust, and in some places there were even large pieces of stone waste slag collapsing down, and the whole palace was full of gloomy atmosphere, as if there were ghosts derived from it, and it made people's hearts hairy.
In the face of all this, Li Tiangongzi, who was walking in front, seemed to have never heard of it, walked through every doorrail and every corner familiarly, and led the three of them to walk about half a cup of tea in this dim palace like a labyrinth, and then came to the front of a large hall.
After arriving here, Weiyang Palace finally no longer looks like a relic that has been abandoned, and it has some vitality. The lighting equipment in this palace is poor because of the candles used, but the number of candles is extremely large, at least thousands of groups, so the palace is illuminated by the lights like a sea of fire, and the candlelight cannot shine on the top of the palace.
Therefore, from the perspective of four people, this hall is divided into two parts, in the innermost part of the palace, the top position is placed a gilded embroidered dragon pier. On the dragon chair, there was a bearded old man with his eyes closed, although he looked like he was going to rest, but his face was not angry and arrogant, coupled with the appearance of the fire, which made his face appear large shadows from time to time. For a moment, the three heads of the family reminded them of the legendary black-faced god.
The three of them were a little submissive for a while, while Li Tiangongzi bowed his head obediently and did not speak, he knew very well that the old demon of Weiyang had already known about their arrival the moment he entered the palace.
At this time, there was not the slightest expression on Li Tiangongzi's face, his slender and tender ten fingers were folded on his abdomen, and even his breathing was much lighter.
"You go down and rest first," Finally, the old demon of Weiyang broke the silence. The old demon first glanced at Li Tiangongzi, with a hint of ambiguity on his face: "Come to my palace tonight." β
"Yes," Li Tiangongzi lowered his head, only seeing a smooth neck, and a few broken kiss marks on it, even if he tried his best to hide it, it was exposed at this moment. After speaking, Li Tiangongzi quietly retreated.
"Several, I've been waiting for a long time," Seeing Li Tiangongzi turn around and leave, the old demon of Weiyang then put his eyes on the three people standing in front of the hall, and a smile appeared on his face, he smiled and said: "It's really a grinding goblin, if it was a few years earlier, the old decay would have to be squeezed dry by him." β
"Where, where is it, Lord Weiyang should be old and strong," Han Yinghui's three families, headed by the head of the Ying family, took a step forward and complimented at this moment, and the flattery on his face was not concealed at all.
"Yes, yes," these words fell on the ears of the other two, and they hurriedly followed suit.
"How can you say that Lord Weiyang is old? I think that if Lord Weiyang is no matter his age, even if he is compared to us, his face will be much younger. β
"Nonsense, adults are obviously not old with a sword, and their cultivation is strong, which can we ordinary people compare with each other."
For the trio, seeing the wind and steering the rudder was only part of the reason; And the bigger reason for this is that not long ago, the scene of the old demon turning into a butcher that day, and the wailing of those dead souls before they died, still linger in the ears of the three of them. Even for the three people who have never seen the big world, the first few days were nightmares every night.
"Cough," the three of you said a word, but after the old demon coughed lightly, the three people who wanted to continue to compliment were immediately silenced, and even the more timid head of the Han family couldn't help but take a small step back. This is enough to prove to the side how strong the old devil's fierceness is, and the inadvertently revealed aura is as if he wants to strangle the three of them on the spot.
"It's been a little delayed, and I won't talk nonsense, so everyone, are you willing to listen to a story from the old man."
"Of course, please speak," he said, but a strange feeling surged in the hearts of the three of them that was not difficult to describe in words. Anyway, the three of them had no choice but to agree.
At this time, as soon as he inadvertently raised his head, the head of the Hui family noticed that in the arms of the old demon of Weiyang, there was a little fox lying tamely and slippery. And this fox is full of spirituality, and while looking at the three of them, his whole body reveals a high-spirited appearance. And its short, black nose shrank one by one, as if it was spewing something called mockery from its nostrils all the time.
The head of the Hui family was furious, he had been in a high position for a long time, and he was looked down upon like this once upon a time, let alone a brute. At this moment, he forcibly suppressed the impulse in his heart, if it weren't for the occasion, I am afraid that he would really kill this fox.
It's just that when the head of the Hui family moved his gaze up a little again, and when he met the expressionless gaze of the old demon of Shangweiyang, all his thoughts melted into ice and snow.
The head of the Hui family secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and lowered his head fiercely again. He knew that this was not the place where he could speak.
"Very cute little guy."
At this time, I heard the old demon of Weiyang pointing to the fox-like beast in his arms and saying: "This is the unique creature of my hometown, a kind of magical beast called 'Snake Missing', the so-called magical beast, naturally has his demonic 'nature'. Saying that, the old devil stroked the fur on the fox's back, and suddenly made the fox's eyes narrow, with a look of enjoyment.
The snake's missing fur is tan, the four claws are slender, black and shiny, it looks like the source of some precious fur, and the patterns on it are crossed, dense like fine and cold snake scales, but to the touch it is a completely different soft texture, which makes people want to put it down.
"Snakes are not extremely greedy, and tend to form a small group in groups of three or five, and then follow the large snakes that lay eggs. In our hometown, there is a lake, the water in this lake is not drinkable, it is very salty, but it has a very good thermal insulation effect. The lake is wide and immeasurable, and the water is neither shallow nor deep, so it can be called a paradise for snakes to lay eggs. When he said this, the old devil's face showed a rare look of remembrance.
Weiyang Old Devil's tone did not pause, and he seemed to be in a good mood, so he said: "Not to mention, when I was a child, I often went to the water to touch snake eggs." Hey, now that I think about it, it's also an interesting thing from childhood, haha. As soon as the words fell, the three people below laughed again and again.
In the face of the flattery of the three people, the old demon of Weiyang seemed not to hear, and once again stroked the snake's missing fur as if he didn't make a force, and then he said: "Whenever some kind of snake comes to lay eggs, the snake will quietly follow when it is gone, but their target is not the snake egg, but the snake itself. β
Speaking of this, Weiyang Old Devil's face became solemn: "When the snake goes into the water, the snake will also follow the water if it doesn't see it, it is a natural diving master, with five lungs and an air sac, so even if it is enough vigilance." The large snakes that lay eggs in the water are not aware of anything at all. β
"Until the serpent starts laying eggs, the nightmare comes!"
Speaking of this, the three people below were a little confused, and their buried heads looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Weiyang Old Demon Gourd. After thinking hard to no avail, the head of the Han family, who was standing in the middle, handed the other two a cautious look.
Weiyang Old Devil raised his hand and scratched the fox's chin, and said interestingly: "The snake does not see the smell of blood produced by laying eggs in the water, it will pass through the muscles of the big snake that are relaxed by the warm water at this time, '***, and the soft abdomen, after tearing, it will burrow into the other party's body and feast." When the snake is gone, it will start eating from the organs, and those organs that are not easy to be detected by the snake are their first targets. β
Speaking of this, Weiyang Old Demon seemed to think of something interesting, and the stroking movements in his hand were two consecutive strokes: "Because the big snake's vision under the water is extremely sliding, it has even lost the ability to perceive at all, and the warm water completely blocks the snake's senses. Therefore, even if he loses consciousness until the end, the hapless snake will not be able to find this group of cute little guys. β
"I once saw a bloody snake about five or six feet long on a dive, returning to land after laying eggs; Due to its large size, most parts of the snake's body had not been eaten at that time, and there were at least a dozen gnawing holes on its body, and in some places the epidermis was simply cracked, mixed with muscle filaments, floating in the water like flower petals. β
The snake writhed and crawled at the bottom of the lake, the water pushing the debris of plants over its body, and the water flowed directly through the holes in its body. And the snake in its body is not seen and continues to eat, stretching its belly round, until finally, most of the snake's body has turned into white bones and a relatively intact snake skin, the big snake finally can't move, and the snake has eaten enough, slowly leaving. At this time, the snake may still be alive. β
At this time, Weiyang Old Demon's voice suddenly stopped, and then as if he thought of something, his eyes slipped to the three people standing in front of the hall, and then he said thoughtlessly: "It's almost time!" β
When he said this, the three people who listened attentively were stunned, and they were a little confused.
At this time, the old demon of Weiyang did not continue, but the old god squinted his eyes, and a light flashed in his eyes, which made the three family heads feel very uneasy.
It's just that he didn't speak, and when he carefully imagined the picture he described, the three people standing at the bottom of the head for a moment turned pale with a pale.
