Jiangcheng, noon.

A strange young man about 20 years old, wearing a white shirt, jeans, and a pair of black cloth shoes on his feet, carrying a black package on one shoulder and a dog's tail grass in his mouth, walked in the bright sun in an old alley on the outskirts of the city.

He seemed unconcerned about the scorching sun in the sky and the sweltering heat of over thirty-five degrees outside, humming an unknown ditty as he walked.

Occasionally, passers-by pass by, most of them will look at him curiously, and some of them will exchange words with their companions, comment a few words and laugh a few times.

For everyone's fingers, the young man seemed to be unconscious, and continued to walk happily and walk.

As he walked around the corner of an alley, the young man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked straight to a two-story shop on the west side of the intersection.

The sign directly above the old shop was engraved with five words - Chen Ji Coffin Shop.

A few wreaths made of fake flowers and grass were placed at the door of the shop.

"Well done."

The young man sighed in appreciation, then walked up the stairs and looked into the shop, where the room was full of funeral supplies such as wreaths and paper figurines. Then he saw a little girl of about six or seven years old kneeling on a stool, lying on the counter and doing her homework, so he made a grimace at her and asked, "Hey, are you here?" ”。

"In!"

The little girl was amused by his grimace and giggled, the two pigtails on her head kept dangling, and she laughed for a long time before turning her head and shouting upstairs: "Auntie, there is a guest coming!" ”

"It's coming, it's coming!"

From the second floor came the voice of a young woman, and the voice was quite nice.

The young man leaned against the door of the shop and happily watched a young and beautiful young woman in her twenties carefully climb down the stairs on the second floor, "Do you want to buy a coffin or a wreath?" We can deliver by courier. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm just passing by here, I'm thirsty, I want to ask you for water, I don't know if it's convenient?" The boy touched his head embarrassedly.

"Oh, okay...... Little brother, wait a minute. ”

After saying this, the beautiful woman turned and went into the inner room on the first floor, but the young man said thank you as if he couldn't wait, but the person followed him in.

The beautiful woman walked into the kitchen, poured a cup of hot tea with a thermos teapot, handed it to the young man, and reminded her to "pay attention to the hot." ”

The young man thanked him, as if he was thirsty, but blew the tea leaves, drank them dry, and returned them to the beautiful woman.

"Are you still either?" The beautiful woman asked.

The young man nodded, and when the beautiful woman turned around and fell again, she suddenly said, "Girl, your cultivation is not easy, why do you have to turn into a human form and barely stay in this yang-filled city?" ”

As soon as the young man's words fell, the beautiful woman's beautiful back shook suddenly, and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground and shattered.

A demonic aura instantly permeated the entire kitchen.

The young man smiled and stared at the white hairs that instantly grew on the neck of the beautiful woman's originally white condensation and the sharp claws that grew from his fingers, and he was not alarmed, and said lightly: "It's better not to do it, right?" Your fox demon has less than three hundred years of demon power, and it is not easy to maintain your transformation at noon. ”

"Who are you? What do you really want? Hearing this, the beautiful woman took a sharp step forward, and at the same time turned around, glaring at the boy viciously, revealing the fangs in her mouth.

"Me?" The young man was stunned for a moment, then he remembered something, and he didn't guard against the beautiful woman, and took out a square token more than ten centimeters long from the package behind him, with some strangely shaped ancient texts engraved on the front, and nine small holes on the edge, seven of which contained a small bronze sword.

"Maoshan Seven Star Sword?!"

When the beautiful woman saw the token, she was immediately frightened, and quickly returned to her human form, and suddenly knelt on the ground with a "poof", and said in a trembling voice: "The Great Heavenly Master spares his life, please forgive the little demon for having eyes and no beads, and failing to recognize the Great Heavenly Master!" ”

"Uh...... Ahem...... Let's answer my original question first! ”

The young man was a little embarrassed with his hands behind his back, learning from the master's former appearance: "You don't have any blood grudges on you, so it can be seen that you haven't harmed anyone, so why do you want to turn into a human form and stay in this yang-filled city?" ”

"Great Heavenly Master, the grandfather of this family once saved the life of the little demon thirty years ago. Last year, the benefactor suddenly fell ill and died, leaving only the six-year-old girl Zhou Zhi, whose parents died since childhood, with no one to take care of her, so the little demon turned into a human form, pretending to be her relatives to take care of her, and asked the mage to spare her life! ”

People are the chief of all spirits, and most of the demons like to quickly improve their cultivation through cannibalism, so there are not a few people who hide in the world to kill demons. If this Celestial Master, who could control the Maoshan Seven-Star Magic Sword at such a young age, really wanted to get rid of her, she might not even be able to escape ten meters away.

The young man was speechless when he heard this, and after a while he sighed and said, "I didn't say I wanted to accept you, but I was in a hurry just now, and I suddenly found that there was a demonic qi nearby, so I rushed over to take a look." Although you are just repaying your kindness and not doing anything bad, there will be people who want to catch your demon body and refine your demon pill. So...... I suggest that you hurry back to the mountains and forests, and don't delay your cultivation. ”

The beautiful woman couldn't bear it and said, "But ...... Zhi'er has no one to take care of, and the little demon doesn't want to send her to an orphanage. ”

"Your cultivation is not enough, this little sister has stayed with you for a long time, contaminated with demonic energy, and sooner or later she will get sick, so it is not a long-term solution. In this way, I think she is quite spiritual, and she is still suitable for cultivation, you can take my token to send her to Maoshan Mountain! Let my master accept her as a disciple, and the future will be immeasurable. The teenager suggested.

The beautiful woman's face was overjoyed, and she immediately hesitated: "There are many Daoist masters walking around Maoshan Mountain......

"Don't worry, I'll give you a talisman, a letter, there is a talisman, even if the five-money mage bumps into it in front of you within a month, I guarantee that I won't recognize you! You take the child to send the person to my master's Maoshan faction's Yuchen Guanchen Yuan Zhenren as soon as possible, and then stay in the back mountain of Maoshan to practice quietly, and you are allowed to see her once a month. ”

The beautiful woman was overjoyed when she heard this, and kowtowed to the young man three times in a row, "Thank you Archmage for showing the way, the little demon Hu Xian'er is grateful...... This can't help but make her excited, Maoshan is full of aura, it is a holy place for cultivation, which makes the demons in the world jealous. If it weren't for the fact that there were many heavenly masters on Maoshan and the endless emergence of masters, the demons would have gone to entrench themselves a long time ago. Now that she has obtained the Heavenly Master's decree, her cultivation will surely be a thousand miles in the future.

The young man waved his hand, turned around and walked out of the kitchen: "Deal with this shop and hurry up!" ”

"Can you tell the benefactor the number, Xian'er is grateful......" Hu Xian'er's voice came from behind him.

"My name is Ge Yu, Zhi'er will help my senior brother say a few good words in front of the old man in the future!" The young man smiled and leaned in front of Zhou Zhi and whispered.

After that, in the bewildered gaze of the little girl, she drifted away.
