Chapter 66: The Mountain Monster! (a)
When he first arrived here, Bai Xiaofan felt that the round platform in the courtyard was strange.
There are several chairs on the round table, and there is also an offering table. There were two incense sticks on the offering table, as well as a few plates of delicate snacks.
Who would have such things in their yard for no apparent reason?
Now the sudden dark clouds outside the house, and the spontaneous combustion of the two incense candles on the round platform, all seemed to indicate that something was to come.
The eldest lady, who had already walked towards the inner hall, suddenly stopped, and she glanced back at the outside of the house, and then an unpredictable smile appeared on her face.
Just waited for her to enter the inner hall, Zeng Shengkai immediately said to Bai Xiaofan: "Brother Bai, something is not right." Shall we get out of here first? ”
Hearing this, Bai Xiaofan frowned slightly and said, "Wait a little longer, I'll take the reward and leave." Besides, the big box is ours too, and we have to take it with us! ”
Zeng Shengkai said a little anxiously: "When is this, you still care about that little reward." And that big box, that's not a treasure either, huh? I think we'd better hurry up! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the old fox's voice sounded.
"Let's go? You haven't received the reward yet, why do you have to leave? Little brother, isn't the old man not being well entertained? ”
Hearing this, Bai Xiaofan immediately turned his head to look, and saw that the old fox was walking out of the inner hall with a "smile" on his face.
Bai Xiaofan hurriedly got up and said, "The senior misunderstood, my friend has some personal matters to do, so he is clamoring to leave." The five ladies treated us well and did not neglect us at all. ”
The old fox laughed and said, "That's good, that's good!" A few of you, I'm afraid you'll have to sit a little less. I have a few friends coming, and the old man has to entertain them first. I'll go and go back, you drink tea, drink tea. ”
With that, it just walked straight out of the house.
As soon as it stepped out of the room, the door closed automatically.
Bai Xiaofan wanted to look out, what could he see through the door?
"Brother Bai, what did this old fox say just now? How many friends does he have coming? They can't all be youkai, right? ”
Zeng Shengkai said that it is very likely, as the saying goes, things gather people by like, and people are divided into groups. The monster has a few monster friends, and it's already in the process of being cleaned up.
If this is the case, it may explain why the round platform outside the house is arranged in such a way for only one reason, that is, to welcome guests.
Bai Xiaofan really wanted to see what the old fox's friend was, but the door was closed, and he couldn't push the door to look until he found a window and immediately raised his legs and walked over.
Zeng Shengkai saw him walking towards the window and hurriedly followed.
The two approached the window and immediately looked out.
Their eyes widened at this glance.
I saw that the round platform outside the house was now full of "high friends", but none of these so-called distinguished guests were people.
In addition to the old fox, there was a large hedgehog, a large mouse, a weasel also dressed in human clothes, and a large black snake.
They all sat in their chairs and chatted happily, and the big mouse leaned back and forth.
Seeing this, Bai Xiaofan already understood, and then turned around and walked towards the chair he was sitting on just now.
Seeing this, Zeng Shengkai also didn't dare to look at it, and followed Bai Xiaofan back to the chair and sat down honestly.
Seeing that his body trembled a little, it was estimated that he was frightened by the scene just now.
After taking a few deep breaths, he whispered to Bai Xiaofan: "There are so many monsters, they won't look for our bad luck later, right?" ”
Hearing this, Bai Xiaofan smiled indifferently and said, "What are they looking for us to be unlucky?" We have not offended them. ”
"That being said, youkai are meant to be harmful. How many of those who were killed provoked youkai? ”
Zeng Shengkai said that what he said is not unreasonable, it is indispensable to guard against people, it is better to be careful.
Bai Xiaofan nodded, and then said no more, and the hall fell into extreme silence.
After about half an hour, the window was much brighter, and it seemed that the dark clouds had dispersed.
Then I heard a creaking, and the door was opened from the outside, and at a glance I saw the old fox smiling in.
"Huh...... It's really a long time for the three of you to wait. I had an appointment with an old friend first, so I had to go to the appointment first. If there is any neglect, I hope the three of you will forgive me. ”
The old fox was so polite, what could Bai Xiaofan say, he could only smile.
"Don't be polite, drink tea and eat some snacks. I was in a hurry just now, and I didn't have time to thank you. Thank you three for saving my child, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid she would have died in the Spirit Sword Forest. ”
When Bai Xiaofan heard this, he immediately asked, "Senior, is the second miss okay now?" ”
The old fox sat down in the master's seat, nodded with a smile, and said, "I have already passed the difficulty, as long as I take a little care, I will be cured in a few days." There is a little brother Lao to remember. ”
Bai Xiaofan smiled slightly: "Our trip was to escort her and the goods to Qingcheng Hu Mansion safely, and now that she is safe, we can be regarded as having successfully completed the task." Senior, the hour is not early, so please give us the reward. We're leaving! ”
The old fox laughed and said, "Little brother, don't worry, your escort mission has indeed been completed." But before the reward is distributed, I wonder if you can ask the old man to tell you something else? Don't worry, the old man has no intention of paying his debts, I just want to continue to hire you. ”
Bai Xiaofan is not in the mood to take on any escort tasks anymore, he really can't afford to worry about this, he just wants to get the reward as soon as possible, and then go to Tianyi City.
So as soon as he heard that the old fox had plans to continue to hire him, he immediately refused: "Senior, thanks to your love, but we are in a hurry, and I am afraid that we will not be able to take your task." ”
The old fox smiled and said, "Little brother, don't be in a hurry to refuse. Can you listen to me and make a decision? ”
The old fox pinched the reward and didn't give it out, what else could Bai Xiaofan do, he could only continue to listen.
"Okay, senior, please speak!"
The old fox took a sip of the tea on the table, and then spoke: "Qingqiu Mountain was originally the place where my fox clan has lived for generations, although there will be some little demons in addition to my fox clan, but they have always been safe. But a hundred years ago, somehow, a giant demon actually came to Qingqiu. When the giant demon came, he entrenched himself in a cave in the mountains and called himself the Blue-Eyed King. This demon is arrogant and domineering, and has injured my people again and again. Although my fox clan joined forces to besiege it, because of the high skills of the giant demon, they were defeated and returned. Since then, Qingqiu has become the territory of the giant demon, and the people of our clan living in the mountains are often bullied by this giant demon, which can be described as extremely pitiful. Fortunately, ten years ago, another master came to the mountain, and the master claimed to be a demon hunter, and he came for the giant demon. The ...... of the Superior Man"
"Senior, you wait. What did you just say? What do you say the superior man calls himself? ”。
The old fox was stunned when he heard this, and confirmed: "Demon hunting! What's wrong? ”
Hearing this, Bai Xiaofan's eyes suddenly widened.
