"After that, I never heard my husband's voice again, and I didn't know if he was dead, so I waited for him in the cave. Three days later, my husband did not come to see me; Seven days later, the gentleman did not come; A month or two has passed, and my husband has not shown up......"

In the hall of Happy Mansion, Chen Shuqing told Pu Zixuan this history vividly, sometimes warm, sometimes sad and vicissitudes, as if everything happened yesterday, and even Pu Zixuan, an audience, was trapped in this story and couldn't extricate himself.

"How long have you been waiting in that cave?" Pu Zixuan asked.

"Sixty years." Chen Shuqing replied lightly.

Pu Zixuan couldn't help but gasp: "You can really bear it!" Why not go somewhere else and start a new life? ”

"Maybe you humans will think that this time is too long, long enough to cover a person's whole life, but I don't have a second person in the world to cherish and experience the loneliness of going down the mountain and meeting the villagers who want to kill me, or changing places and watching the people around me grow old and die...... Why don't you just play with those little animals in the mountains? When I was thirsty, I drank from the springs of the mountain streams, and when I was hungry, I plucked the fruit of the mountains. I made daily marks in the cave with stones, thinking that the villagers were almost dead before I walked down the mountain again. ”

"Sixty years later, has there been any change in Pujiazhuang?"

"Mr.'s Liao Zhai is still there, but it has been called 'Pu Songling's former residence', and there are no descendants living in it. So I knocked on the door of a neighbor, pretended to be a tourist, and asked the aunt about my husband. As soon as the aunt talked about Mr., she was immediately full of praise, saying that Mr. is a famous writer in the world, and is the pride of Pujiazhuang. ”

At this time, Pu Zixuan only hated that he hadn't read "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", otherwise he could at least share his emotions with the poor half-demon in front of him. His literary attainments in demons and monsters were not even as good as Zhu Yuanliang, so he had to ask: "What about later?" ”

"Later, I left Pujiazhuang, built a hut in the deserted mountains, and lived alone. Monsters and purification messengers can sense each other, I inquired about the descendants of Mr., and learned about the entire Pu family tree, but generation after generation, they did not have the power of awakening purification, I almost thought that I would go through this life so lonely as a monster, who knows, just a few days ago, the purification power in your body awakened, and today the Lantern Festival is the night of the full moon, so I came to you for help. ”

Pu Zixuan nodded: "I understand, such a complete and moving story can't be made up by just making it up, I believe in you, it's just that I'm a little dissatisfied......"

"What's wrong with me?" Chen Shuqing asked unhappily.

"When you come to me, you come to me in the light, why are you hiding behind the door and sneaking up? Also, why 'ha-ha-' the monster screams, it scares me to death! ”

Chen Shuqing suddenly wondered: "I have never hidden, the door on the second floor is open, I walked in in the light, I didn't expect you to say it and ...... me directly Also, didn't I just say that? Half-demons like us can't breathe like pure demons, unless we ......"

Both of them realized the problem at the same time: "Unless, there are other youkai here!" ”

Chen Shuqing looked around vigilantly: "It's a pity that we monsters can only sense the existence of the purification envoy, but not the same kind. ”

"Hahahaha, don't look for it, I'm here." As he spoke, the white-haired banshee who had appeared in the Moon Picking Tower during the day descended from the second floor into the hall and said, "What an interesting story, if you hadn't discovered me, I would have liked to hear it." ”

Pu Zixuan exclaimed: "Yes, yes, yes, it was this white-haired banshee during the day, who wanted to eat my heart, and I mistook you for her." ”

Chen Shuqing snorted and said beautifully: "Such an ugly monster, is it worthy of being compared with me?" ”

The white-haired banshee scolded: "Hmph, nine-tailed fox, as a monster, you are really a shame in our demon world to get involved with the purification messenger!" I'm too lazy to bother with you today, since you don't want this little white-faced heart, then let me give it to you. ”

Pu Zixuan took the opportunity to ask, "Why do monsters want my heart?" ”

Chen Shuqing responded: "Because once the monster eats the heart of the purification envoy, the demonic power will rise sharply in an instant, and it is more effective than cultivating for fifty years, what do you say?" ”

Pu Zixuan suddenly felt frightened: "Then wouldn't I have become Tang monk meat?" ”

Chen Shuqing said: "Yes, from today on, I am afraid that you will never be at peace." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, take your life!" After the white-haired banshee finished speaking, she stretched out her right hand to Pu Zixuan, and Pu Zixuan suddenly felt a force pulling him, his body did not obey the call, his feet were off the ground, and he was pulled in the direction of the white-haired banshee.

Pu Zixuan was still holding the pan in his hand, and when he was about to get close to the banshee, he held the pan handle with both hands and smashed it on the banshee's head, only to see the banshee raise his left hand to block, Pu Zixuan felt like hitting a hard stone. The banshee was unharmed, and then with a flick of her right hand, Pu Zixuan fell heavily to the ground, unable to move.

Sharp five claws gradually grew on the banshee's hands, ready to take Pu Zixuan's heart, only to hear Chen Shuqing shouting from behind: "What about your purification power?" ”

Pu Zixuan shouted: "I'm not familiar with how to use it yet!" Come and help me! ”

Chen Shuqing said: "Don't worry, the more dangerous it is, the more conducive it is to the improvement of the power of purification!" You use dantian luck to concentrate the internal force of the whole body in your hands! ”

Pu Zixuan read helplessly: "Concentrate...... Concentrate on ......" Sure enough, a blue aura appeared on his body, and he felt that this aura seemed to have become a part of his body and could be controlled freely, and in an instant, Pu Zixuan saw a blue claw emerge from his body, and at the moment when the banshee reached out and grabbed him, Pu Zixuan swung this claw out and grabbed the banshee's arm.

Chen Shuqing sighed: "It seems that your purification power belongs to the summoning system, and that claw is your spirit body, come on, summon the entire spirit body!" ”

When the banshee saw this, she didn't have any panic during the day, and bared her teeth and smiled: "Hmph, how can the demonic power of the full moon night be matched by your newly awakened purification power?" After speaking, as soon as she raised her arms and drank, the spirit body was shaken open, and Pu Zixuan's corresponding physical arm was also injured.

Pu Zixuan felt a piercing pain, it seems that this "spirit body" summoned by the purification envoy is connected with his body, although the spirit body is powerful, but once it is attacked, the purification envoy himself will also bear the corresponding damage.

Chen Shuqing said helplessly in the rear: "It seems that we have to support it for a while." ”
