Chapter 21: Two Foxes

While the three of them were talking, they came to a hillside and looked down the hillside. A small village appeared in front of the eyes of several people, and although it was already past ten o'clock, the village was still brightly lit.

The three of them walked quickly towards the village, and as soon as they reached the entrance of the village, they heard the sound of talking and the intermittent sound of gongs and drums coming from inside the village.

Hearing these voices, Qing Xuan led the two of them into the village quickly and came to the outside of a villager's house. The sound of gongs and drums and the sound of talking that I heard before became clearer and clearer.

Qingxuan directly pushed the door open, and after entering, he saw many people sitting in the courtyard, and inside the main entrance of the house, there was also a mourning hall, and a woman and a child knelt in front of the mourning hall.

Seeing that it was Qingxuan, the people talking in the courtyard stopped one after another, and even the sound of gongs and drums stopped. The originally noisy yard suddenly became quiet.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked over to the three of them, this is the man who went to the coffin shop to find Qingxuan in the morning.

The middle-aged man looked at Qing Xuan and said respectfully, "Dao Chief, you are here."

Qing Xuan nodded, pointed to Cen Fan and the others and introduced: "These two are my juniors, take them out to see the world today."

The middle-aged man nodded with a smile, and after a brief greeting to Cen Fan and the others, he took the three of them to sit down in the courtyard.

As soon as the three of them sat down, the middle-aged man spoke: "Dao Chief! I have gathered all the people in the village here, as you commanded. ”

Qingxuan nodded, then stood up and said loudly to the people in the courtyard, "Women, the elderly, and children stay here. The remaining four or five people were in groups and hid together. Remember! Each person must hold the guy in his hand for self-defense, and each group should not be too far away, and remember to set off firecrackers if there is anything abnormal. ”

After listening to Qing Xuan's words, everyone nodded one after another, indicating that they understood.

"Alright, you guys act now!"

After Qingxuan finished speaking, all the adult men formed a team on the spot and left the courtyard.

After the men left, Qingxuan asked the rest of the people in the courtyard to hide upstairs.

After everyone left, only this middle-aged man was left in the courtyard, and the one in front of the mourning hall was one big and one small.

"Village chief, take the child upstairs and let the woman come, the old man has something to tell her." Qingxuan said to the middle-aged man.

The village chief nodded, and walked over to the mourning hall to call the woman.

"Dao Chief! What do you command? The woman stopped sobbing and asked in a whisper.

"People are deceased, please mourn." Qing Xuan first comforted the woman, and then said: "The most important thing at the moment is to catch the murderer." Not only to avenge your husband, but also for the peace of the village. ”

"As long as I can avenge my husband, let me do anything." The woman said firmly.

"Actually, you don't need to do anything, you just need to stay in front of the mourning hall. No matter what happens, you have to stay in front of the mourning hall. Qingxuan said.

After listening to Qing Xuan's words, the woman nodded without hesitation, and knelt in front of the mourning hall again.

"So what do we need to do?" Cen Fan and the others asked.

Qing Xuan thought about it, and first said to Cen Fan: "Xiao Fan, you are hiding behind the mourning hall." Then he said to Zhang Ziyi: "Ziyi, you are hiding on the left side of the courtyard, and I am on the right side."

"Good!" The two said at the same time. After saying that, they took action.

After the two left, Qing Xuan drew a rune in each of the four corners of the courtyard, and then took out the gossip mirror, recited it silently, and took a picture of the four corners. After reciting the mantra, a yellow line shoots out from the four corners at the same time, connecting together to form a quadrangular shape.

After doing all this, Qingxuan quickly flashed to the right side of the courtyard and hid.

At this time, the village was dark, and the only light was the house with the mourning hall.

About an hour later, a white shadow appeared in the village, and it first circled the village, and then ran towards the house where the lights were on.

Since nothing appeared for so long, the two people in the courtyard closed their eyes and began to practice.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement outside the courtyard, and the two cultivators opened their eyes at the same time, and their hearts became nervous. After about a few seconds, I saw a white fox in the yard.

The fox first looked at the woman in front of the mourning hall, and then turned his head to look around the courtyard. Finding that there was no one else but the woman, he walked gently towards the woman.

Cen Fan, who was behind the coffin, held the Long Xiao sword tightly and watched the fox walk towards the woman step by step.

The fox was very cautious, and when he walked behind the woman, he looked around again.

At this time, the woman felt that there was something abnormal behind her, and her originally calm heart became nervous, and her body kept trembling. At this time, the fox suddenly closed its eyes and began to suck the essence of the woman.

At this time, Cen Fan suddenly walked out from behind the coffin. When the fox heard the movement, he opened his eyes and was about to turn and run away, just as he turned around. I saw two figures suddenly flash out of the corner, blocking its way.

"Want to run?" Zhang Ziyi pointed his sword at the fox and said.

The fox looked at the two in horror and slowly stepped back. Just as the two of them were relaxing, they suddenly rushed towards the two of them, trying to find a gap to escape.

Maybe the fox's path is too low, and the speed is not very fast, and as soon as he ran out, he was cut off by Zhang Ziyi's tail.

The fox didn't have time to care so much, so he jumped directly on the courtyard wall, turned his head to look at a few people in the courtyard, and jumped out. But what it didn't expect was that it was like an invisible wall in front of it, and it was bounced back when it hit it.

The three of them quickly flashed around the fox and surrounded it.

"If you kill someone, you want to run? Is it that easy? Qingxuan looked at the fox and said.

Seeing that there was a formation outside, the fox gave up and fled. He arched himself in place and screamed.

"Senior! What is it doing? Cen Fan asked curiously.

"It's supposed to be a signal." Qingxuan guessed

"Does he still have accomplices?" Zhang Ziyi asked incredulously.

"The old man can't say for sure. Wait and see. ”

Not long after Qing Xuan finished speaking, he saw the white fox and barked in the direction behind them.

A few people turned around and saw a larger fox, standing in the courtyard and looking at them viciously. The fox had gray hair, a pointed beak, and the most surprising thing was that it had five tails.

Looking at the gray fox, Qing Xuan said to the two: "As far as I know, the fox demon will grow a new tail after less than a year. It seems that this fox is not shallow! You have to be careful. ”

At this time, the gray fox suddenly turned into a beautiful woman, walked slowly towards them, and stopped two meters away from them.

"Stinky old way! Let him go, and I will spare you from dying. The woman said ferociously.

Seeing the gray fox turn into a human form, Cen Fan and the others opened their eyes wide and looked at her in surprise.

"I see that your cultivation is not easy, and I don't want to embarrass you. But the old man of the white fox will definitely not let it go, otherwise he will not be able to explain it to the villagers. Daoist Qingxuan refused her request.

The woman sneered. said: "The old lady is too lazy to talk nonsense with you, do you let it go or not?"

The three of them said in unison: "Don't let !! go"

"Then I'll suck your essence dry!" As soon as the words fell, the woman rushed towards the three of them.
