Zhejiang, Jinhua Mansion, Lanruo Temple.

Night comes, because after the Wang Dun incident in February, the new Chu army will be closed up on the same day, this temple has long been empty, lifeless, every night, all kinds of insects and frogs chirp one after another, and even from time to time you can see some wild cats in the courtyard haunting.

A wild cat was shaking in the courtyard of the temple, its eyes emitting a forest green light, suddenly, as if to capture some kind of information, the wild cat alertly glanced at the row house in the west chamber, and suddenly the fluff stood on end, let out a long and frightened meow, turned around and fled from the gap under the temple gate.

Half an hour later, a red light flashed on the door of the row house in the west wing, and in the red light, a woman dressed in red and wearing a cloak pierced directly through the closed door.

Although the night was shrouded, the woman's appearance was still clearly visible through the red light. There is no excess rouge atmosphere, the woman looks only in her twenties without makeup, with autumn water in her eyes, plain teeth and red lips, and she looks like a shy flower in the closed moon.

It's just that such a flower-like woman can't hide her weird and demonic appearance, and she saw a cloud of emerald green light suspended behind her, like a woman's pet, and followed her to the courtyard.

After passing through the door, the woman seemed to no longer need to launch her demonic power, and slowly put away the red light, and for a while only the emerald green light in the temple was left shaking in the darkness, and the woman's figure became half-hidden and half-visible in the weak light.

Although there was no one around, the woman still looked around vigilantly, saw that there was nothing unusual, and quickly followed the porch to the Qianyuan pagoda on the north side of the temple, and once again vigilantly investigated, after making sure that there was no one around, she launched her demonic power and passed through the wooden gate of the pagoda.

In an instant, the green light also disappeared in the Lanruo Temple, and everything was as peaceful as ever.

On the ground below the pagoda, there is a wooden paved floor, which contrasts sharply with the surrounding stone floor, and at first glance it looks as if the ground has collapsed after a long period of disrepair and has been repaired by someone.

The woman stood on the wooden board with an emerald green light, drew a gourd in the same way, and let her body penetrate it vertically, and entered the underside of the wooden board.

There are no collapsed potholes under the wooden planks, not only are they spacious and deep, but the spiraling stone stairs look like a decent one, and there are burning oil lamps hanging on the surrounding walls every three or five zhang, illuminating the passage brighter than the night market in the city.

The woman did not linger at all, and quickly circled down the stone staircase, and the shadows were illuminated by different oil lamps, which made the atmosphere even more ghostly.

After walking for a short time, a slow and hoarse voice came from under the stone stairs, the voice was neither male nor female, like a human and not a ghost, so as not to send chills down the spine.

"Is Xiaoqian back?"

The woman replied, "Yes, grandma, I'm back." He quickened his pace.

This woman is Xiaoshu's aunt Nie Xiaoqian, after which she went down a circle of spiraling stone stairs, and then came to a spacious crypt, only to see a huge small-leaved red bean tree growing here is flashing with green light, occupying three or four tenths of the space, and there is no one else in the crypt.

Nie Xiaoqian arrived in front of the big tree, and immediately knelt down and said: "I'm sorry, I have waited for many days, since Lanruo Temple was seized by the government, there have been no tourists in this temple, and the legend of the Red Yaksha has spread among the people in the Jiangzuo area, once someone gets the plague, the government will ignore the three seven twenty-one, and all their relatives will be arrested and isolated, and it is becoming more and more difficult to obtain three corpses, this one, which I finally captured from the remote countryside." ”

Then, the voice that was neither male nor female came from the tree: "Ouch, my lovely little Qian,

Seeing this makes you anxious...... It's okay, it's okay, grandma, I've absorbed enough nutrients, one or two more, I can turn into a human form and walk around, at that time, it will be easy to capture three corpses, and restore ten percent of the demonic power, and it will be just around the corner, hehehe...... Cute Xiaoqian, hurry, quickly throw this person's three corpses to me. ”

Nie Xiaoqian got up in response, and with a wave of her right hand, the emerald green light behind her flew towards the top of the big tree.

I only heard the faint screams of three corpses coming from the light cluster, and then, under the attraction of a powerful demonic aura, the light cluster merged into the trunk of the tree, and the screams could no longer be heard.

Followed by a powerful demonic aura blowing towards Nie Xiaoqian in the opposite direction, Nie Xiaoqian's hair and clothes quickly changed in the direction of the flowing clothes, and the trunk shook violently against the red light of the house, and then, a dry and cracked, neither male nor female old man's face appeared in the middle of the trunk.

This person is the Dryad Grandma, and it is also the Red Yaksha who was newly named by the world a hundred years later.

As soon as the red yaksha showed his face, he asked Nie Xiaoqian impatiently: "Hurry up, Xiaoqian help me see, is my face still as delicate and flawless as it was a hundred years ago?" ”

An imperceptible smile hung on the corner of Nie Xiaoqian's mouth, and she flattered: "Grandma's face, in my heart, will always be flawless." ”

Red Yaksha heard Nie Xiaoqian's voice, and immediately said with a sad face: "Oh, my lovely Xiaoqian, as soon as you say this, grandma will understand, it seems that there are still some more three corpses to satisfy me." ”

Nie Xiaoqian said: "Don't worry, grandma, I will leave tomorrow, and then I will go to capture a few people and three corpses for grandma." ”

Red Yaksha sighed, "That's really a lot of trouble for my lovely little Qian, otherwise even if I can move freely, I don't have a perfect appearance, how can I see people...... Alas, speaking of which, Xiaoqian, do you know what the first thing I want to do once I get out of the mountain again? ”

Nie Xiaoqian thought for a while and said: "If Yan Chixia is still here, the first thing Grandma will do is naturally seek revenge on him, but Yan Chixia has already returned to heaven, and at this time, the way of the world is completely different from more than a hundred years ago, and what Grandma wants to do most now should be to quickly destroy those purification messengers who don't know where to fight, right?" After all, eighteen years ago, grandma ordered me to go to Yunnan to seize half of the secret book held by Pu Songling's descendants, my ability was limited, not only failed, but also alarmed Pu Weihai, grandma was most worried about Pu Weihai must have known about you and me, and summoned the purification messenger to gather in Zhejiang to seek revenge on you and me. ”

"Hahaha......" Red Yaksha laughed and said, "The purification messenger must naturally be eradicated, but it is not the most important thing, or grandma, let me tell you, after regaining my free body, the first thing I did was to have a magnificent banquet with my lovely children, it has been more than one hundred and fifty years, grandma I am trapped in this Lanruo Temple and secretly survived, I have not had a banquet for more than one hundred and fifty years, do you know how lonely I am?" Thinking back to the time, I was one of the four demon kings under the Demon Emperor's brother, not to mention this Lanruo Temple, it is the entire Jinhua, the entire Zhejiang, and even the entire Jiangzuo region...... Ouch, don't say it, don't say it, I'm greedy when I think about it...... Later, the old demon of Montenegro took away my position as the demon king, and it must be the scenery above ten thousand demons under one demon, hum, it's too cheap for him...... Yes, speaking of the old demon of Montenegro, that guy is still in Zhejiang? ”

Nie Xiaoqian responded: "According to what I have explored, the old demon of Montenegro should no longer be in Zhejiang, but has arrived in Jiangxi. ”

Red Yaksha wondered, "Oh, what is he doing in Jiangxi?" ”

Nie Xiaoqian said: "I have mentioned to my grandmother many times that the world is now different from the past, the Manchu and Qing dynasties have been riddled with holes, and the smoke is everywhere, among which the largest rebel army is the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom led by Hong Xiuquan, and the Qing court has been fighting for 14 years, but with the assistance of the old demon of Montenegro, yesterday full moon night, the Qing army has broken through Tianjing, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and renamed Jiangning. However, although Jiangning was broken, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom still had the most important general in Anhui, King Hong Renxuan, and it was expected that their remnants of the army would be transferred to the young lord Hong Tianguifu to Anhui to join Hong Renxuan and transfer to Jiangxi. I sensed that there was the breath of willow springs and eight trees in Jiangxi, and I thought it was the old demon of Montenegro who was waiting in Jiangxi. ”

"Oh, that guy, you're interested in meddling in human affairs?" Red Yaksha was stunned, and then said stupidly, "Helping the Qing court is nothing more than to cooperate with this lord of the north on earth, so that they can help him find the whereabouts of the demon emperor's brother, and other than that, I really can't think of any price that can make that lazy and narcissistic guy work so diligently for the human race...... Hmph, the old demon of Montenegro was equal to my strength back then, and now he is pregnant with Liuquan Yagi, it seems that I want to regain the position of this demon king, and it is not something that can be done in three days and two ends. ”

Nie Xiaoqian said again: "When it comes to the demon king who does things for the world, there is not only one old demon in Montenegro. I heard that in May last year, Shi Dakai, the righteous king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, suffered a monstrous flood in the Dadu River, which was caused by the demon king rhino canal. ”

Red Yaksha sneered, "Hehe, do you need to talk about it? The desire for power is not an exclusive desire only for human beings, and the same is true for us in the demon world. Since he became the Demon Emperor, no matter who is up or down, the four demon kings have never been able to pee in a pot, and after Brother Duo was sealed by Pu Songling, the demon world has been in the doldrums for more than 100 years, and its prestige has decreased sharply. I'm afraid that among today's demon kings, not to mention the tension, at least they have their own ghosts...... Hahaha, the world has become more interesting...... My lovely little Qian, rest assured, as long as grandma and I make a comeback, you will be the greatest hero, and grandma will definitely grant you the position of Prajna and make you the queen of the ruling party. ”

Hearing this, Nie Xiaoqian didn't look half excited, but frowned and said: "Grandma, over the years, I have tried my best to collect three corpses to help you recover, not to gain power in the future, but only out of kindness to grandma. If grandma recovers, can she ...... Can you give Xiaoqian a free body, so that I can find a good relationship and enjoy the blessings of the world? ”

When she said the second half of the sentence, Nie Xiaoqian had already raised her heart to her throat, and knelt on the ground again, bowing her head and not daring to look at the red yaksha.

The Red Yaksha was suddenly surprised: "What? It turns out that my lovely Xiaoqian, after a hundred years, can't forget the fun of the world? ”

Nie Xiaoqian buried her head and pleaded: "Don't dare to deceive grandma, Xiaoqian is indeed good at this point, and I hope grandma will be successful." ”

Red Yaksha let out a sullen breath, glared at Nie Xiaoqian with hatred, and said gloomily: "Ouch, my lovely Xiaoqian doesn't have to be so formal, grandma, I understand, when grandma sucks a few more three corpses, she recovers her strength and beauty, and I promise you." ”

Nie Xiaoqian raised her head and said gratefully: "Xiaoqian thanked grandma." ”

Red Yaksha said: "Xiaoqian has worked hard, go and rest." Grandma is afraid that you are tired and bitter, and when the banquet is held another day, my lovely Xiaoqian must come to participate, this request, will not refuse grandma, right? ”

Nie Xiaoqian grinned: "This, of course it's no problem, thank you grandma." ”
