3. White Dog in the Cloud
Cloud White Dog: Half fairy and half demon, good at swallowing clouds and spitting fog. Only one hundred and fifty years of life. The colors fall into their eyes only black and white, living in the Valley of the Clouds, and easily do not leave. The demon only needs to devour one, and the mana can be increased by three times.
At this time, the streets of Cloud City were bustling with people coming and going. Today happens to be the day of the market again, and the flow of people seems to be even more. The bustling streets are filled with all kinds of sounds, and horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians are endless.
Chu Jiu, who used the invisibility spell, was holding the somewhat large white dog at this time, twisting his body to avoid these pedestrians coming and going. She had just dodged a child running towards her when another carriage passed by. She turned around and managed to dodge, but her center of gravity was unstable and she almost hit a woman carrying a vegetable basket.
"Why should I practice myself?"
As soon as the words came out, he closed his eyes regretfully. Looking at the woman with the basket, she turned back to an oncoming girl and asked suspiciously, "Were you calling me just now?" ”
"No," the girl was obviously puzzled, and when she saw that she didn't ask anything more, she walked away.
"I heard Wei He, could it be that I heard it wrong?"
In this way, Chu Jiu had to walk away around this chattering woman, and she gritted her teeth and shuttled through this lively street, while complaining in her heart.
It's a little powerless to come back all the way, and if you use the flying spell again, you will definitely fall from mid-air and look ugly, and now if you want to lift the invisibility spell, I'm afraid it won't work, and she can't afford to scare people half to death. I could only grit my teeth and return to the inn in one breath.
As soon as he opened the door of his room, he immediately closed it, so frightened that Xiao Er, who had just passed by, thought that he was a thief, came over and knocked on the door, and asked very politely: "Guest, are you there?" ”
Chu Jiu, who had just put down the white dog, was gasping for breath at this time, and replied while coughing, "Yes, cough, cough, yes." ”
"Is the guest uncomfortable, do you need to run errands and grab the medicine for cough and bring it to you?"
Chu Jiu sighed while pouring water and drinking, living in the Tianzi room is really not in vain, even coughing There are people who are willing to run errands, money is really a real thing.
"No more"
Xiao Er outside the door was obviously a little lost, seeing that there was no chance to take a small amount of money, he was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a "wait a minute" from the room, and asked respectfully: "I don't know what the guests command?" ”
"Let's get some more hot water later," she said more smoothly, looking at the scarred white dog on the ground, his eyes closed at this time, "bring me two more white chickens." ”
"Two, two?" He couldn't seem to believe that a girl's family could eat two white chickens.
I saw that she opened the door, stretched out a hand, and gave him three taels of silver, and said, "Yes, two."
After taking the money, he left happily, and the job was easy and profitable. Sure enough, those who can live in the Tianzi room are all rich people.
After closing the door, she didn't care about the stains on her body, so she sat cross-legged on the couch. With her hands stretched out and a spell in her mouth, a transparent circular taboo circle was created with the diameter of her arms, which not only prevented the demons from sneaking up on her, but also prevented people outside the circle from hearing the conversation inside.
Then, Chu Jiu closed his eyes and hands, and a round bronze mirror appeared in front of him. Then, with his hands on his knees, he opened his eyes and shouted:
"Taishang Laojun"
In the mirror, there appeared an elderly man with long hair, whose face was only in his forties, but with a well-informed bearing. Then he only felt that the bronze mirror on his side was pushed farther away, and he saw a Taoist sitting cross-legged, surrounded by white immortal qi, and the white Taoist robe was hidden in it, which showed the immortal wind and bones.
"Lao Jun, the ninth year has been like this since twenty-five years ago, if it is a human being, there should be a ...... no matter how you say it" As she said, she tilted her head again, pinched her fingers and frowned, "There is a thirty or forty year old, if it is a human being, his face should be full of wrinkles." I don't believe that I don't look old because of my cultivation. So, did you ......hide it from your old man?"
"What he said is true, but the secret of heaven cannot be revealed. Ah Jiu, your identity will naturally be known when the time is ripe. ”
Her earliest memories were only twenty-five years ago, and she couldn't remember anything any further.
At that time, she woke up in a meadow, her mind was blank, and she was dressed exactly the same as today, with a blue tulle shirt and a small bandeau dress with a blue background. A high cross bun is braided with a cyan ribbon on his head, a cinnabar mole on each side of his mouth, and a jade ring made of pearls mixed with red dots hangs on his chest.
It's just that there is more magic weapon with the red rope tied to the feather on the right hand.
It was given to her by Lao Jun, saying that from now on this will be her magic weapon to subdue demons and eliminate demons. Since then, she has lived a life of cultivation and demon extermination, and before she knew it, it had been twenty-five years.
"Lao Jun, your old man gave me "The Appearance of All Beings" at that time, so that I could see the law of the people in Kyushu, but now, I not only like the glamorous appearance, but also obsessed with gold and silver treasures, and I am also very interested in antiques." Chu Jiu's eyes lit up, as if there was a pile of white silver next to Taishang Laojun, "Greed, desire and obsession are so strong, Laojun, are you sure you haven't accepted a fake apprentice?" ”
"Hahaha, look at your ingenuity in speaking kindly, "The Appearance of All Beings" belongs to you. When the water is clear, there are no fish, and only after suffering can we attain the Tao. Taishang Laojun looked at his apprentice with puffed cheeks with a smile, and said indifferently: "Your Dao heart, you have to understand it yourself." ”
"The so-called heavenly machine is always coming. Since you have to know it all in the end, what's the difference between earlier and later? ”
The person in the mirror smiled, smoothed his long beard with his hand, and laughed: "Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu, if you raise the bar with me again, I'm afraid the white dog lying over there will not survive." ”
She glanced at the shocking white dog on the ground, gritted her teeth and said, "I really can't hide anything from Lao Jun, then, is there any spell that can heal the wound quickly, and it is best to use the spell that makes him recover as before." She rolled her eyes, "Otherwise, the wound is healed, and the hair on that body is more and less than that, and how ugly it is to be long and short." ”
"You're not polite at all," looking at her innocent appearance, Lao Jun could only smile helplessly.
"I love beauty the most, if it weren't for his good eyes, I wouldn't be too lazy to take care of him." She pursed her lips, two cinnabar moles connected an arc at the corners of her lips, and squinted at the Taoist sitting cross-legged in the glasses.
