Zhang Qian, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by the cold.

He thought that Brother Zhou had pranked and threw the ice cream he bought on him, but when he woke up, he saw the heavy snow flying in the sky, and he was almost so shocked that he peed his pants.

What's going on? It was still summer before! Why did this start snowing?

Flying snow in June, this is Dou E's story! He thought suspiciously, could it be that God is foreshadowing that someone has a grievance?

"Why is it so cold! I'm freezing to death! The voice of the Elvis Emperor came from overhead.

Zhang Qian trembled: "Damn, you still have a body of hair, Lao Tzu is even colder!" ”

"Where is this?" The Elvis was shocked: "Why did you suddenly come here?!" ”

"I don't know." Zhang Qianxin said that this should be a ghost of the system, but the Elvis Emperor didn't know about the existence of the system, so he just said that he didn't know.

"Awake?" The system asks.

"Ah, why did it start snowing all of a sudden?"

"Didn't you notice anything else wrong?" The system says strangely.

"Something else?" Zhang Qian blinked his eyes, and was suddenly stunned: ", why did I run away into the wilderness?" Am I not sleeping in the house? ”

"I'm the one who got you here." The system says, "It's also good to come out once in a while and do a few quests." ”

"Quest?" Zhang Qian, who has a lot of game experience, narrowed his eyes: "Then there must be some good rewards?" ”

"Well, we'll talk about the rewards later. I'll give you a little bit of this copy first. ”

"Damn, don't introduce me yet, I'm freezing to death!" Zhang Qian's snot is about to run to the ground, and he is still wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and big pants!

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed several black figures in the woods not far ahead, which were very conspicuous on the snowy land, and he quickly ran over, and when he got closer, he was suddenly stunned.

Coarse cloth clothes... Bun... This dress-up... Isn't that the costume of the ancients?!

"This is the ancient times that go back more than 2,000 years from your time." The system says.

"What's that?!" Zhang Qian couldn't help but scream.

His voice attracted the attention of the men in coarse cloth clothes, and these men turned to look at the man in strange clothes with a cat on his head and was stunned: "Who are you?" ”

"Everyone, don't care who I am, I'm freezing to death, can you help?"

Judging from the experience gained from costume dramas, these people should not be people with a very high status, and they look more like rural villagers in a certain village. Zhang Qian hoped that they would not be the kind of villagers in Liu Wangzhuang.

The villagers looked at him, furrowed their eyebrows and their eyes were full of wariness, and then they slowly got together to discuss.

"This man looks very strange, but I don't feel like he's a monster."

"Yes, but this person is too strange."

"It should be fine, you see this person has a cat on his head, and as far as I know, those two monsters are not in the habit of being with cats."

"Rank, let's not say more, you look at him, it seems that he is really about to freeze to death."

"Well, let's talk to him about the benefits and disadvantages, and then see how he calculates."

Several people discussed, and one of the men took off his coat and handed it to Zhang Qian: "Young man, this coat will be handed over to you for the time being, so as not to get frostbitten." ”

"Thank you, thank you!" Zhang Qian hurriedly thanked him and took it, putting on his coat to finally warm up.

"This young man, I won't tell you anything, it's the end of the year at this time, and there are night beasts and beasts in my village, if you go, you may be in danger of your life."

At the end of the year? Nightfall Beast? Yearlings? Zhang Qian was stunned when he heard this, this ......

Seeing that several people were looking at him, he hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll go to your village with you, maybe I can help you." ”

Several villagers looked at each other, pondered for a while, and said, "Okay, please come with me." ”

This place is actually very close to the village, and after walking for a while, I entered the village, and the male villager in the lead said, "You all go home and prepare, and you must close the door!" Come with me, young man. ”

On the way, Zhang Qian and this male villager who is not very old introduced and exchanged with each other, this male villager is called Li Jinzhu, the son of the village chief, this time he went out to find a way to fight against the night beast and the old beast, but unfortunately he didn't find it.

"Legend has it that it was the fairy world who sent down a young fairy named 'Nian' to help people repel the Xi Beast, suppress the Year Beast, and teach people how to resist the Xi Beast, which gave rise to the saying 'Chinese New Year's Eve Pressing the Year'." The system said, "This time I'm here to let you do this instead of 'Nian'." ”

"I'll rub it, then won't I be famous in history?" Zhang Qian smiled: "Is it not called the New Year in the future, but will be called 'Qian' instead?" ”

"You think beautifully, the word New Year's Pass has already appeared." The system says.

Soon came to the village chief's house, Zhang Qian felt the warmth of the stove as soon as he entered the door, and almost shed tears of excitement on the spot, finally without worrying about being frozen to death!

Li Jinzhu briefly introduced Zhang Qian, and the village chief greeted him.

Then the village chief asked his son about the method of dealing with the night beast and the old beast with a look of hope, Li Jinzhu shook his head in discouragement, and the old village chief sighed heavily: "How can I pass this year this year!" ”

Zhang Qian was shivering on the stove, and the Elvis Emperor was also lying on his lap enjoying the warmth of the stove, and he didn't listen to the conversation between the two at all.

Li Jinzhu and the village chief were silent for a while, and suddenly Li Jinzhu raised his head and looked at Zhang Qian: "Brother Zhang Qian, just now you said that you may have a way to fight against the Night Beast and the Year Beast, but is it true?" ”

Zhang Qian looked up at him: "Of course." ”

At the same time, he asked in his heart: "Hey, is black and white impermanence the opponent of these two demon beasts?" ”

The system was silent for a moment: "Of course." However, impermanence can't kill them, these two monsters are very special and can only be dealt with in a fixed way. ”

"What fixation method? Sticking Spring Festival couplets and setting off firecrackers? ”

"Well, that's the way to deal with the Nightmabe. The beasts are afraid of red, of loud noises and fires..."

"Wait! Is it afraid of red? That will also be afraid of blood? So how can it hurt people? ”

"It eats people whole, and you can't see blood, so don't interrupt me. Therefore, every household sticks red Spring Festival couplets and sets off firecrackers to scare it away. And the old beast is simpler, it is afraid of money, especially this kind of bronze coin with round square holes, you let these villagers take out the copper coin and melt it into a super large copper coin, and then let your ghost soldiers carry it and press it on the body of the old beast to destroy it. ”

"It's that simple!" Zhang Qian was happy.

So he opened his mouth and explained the method, and Li Jinzhu and the village chief listened with a dull expression.

Sticking red paper on the door? Firecrackers? Casting an oversized copper coin?

Li Jinzhu asked blankly: "The red paper is easy to find, although it is difficult to smelt copper coins, but there are still four days before the end of the year, everyone can do it with hard work, but this... Firecrackers? What is it? ”

The old village chief then asked, "Is your method useful?" ”

"Don't worry, it's definitely useful!" Zhang Qianxin said that this is a tradition of thousands of years, and it is strange that it is useless.

Li Jinzhu frowned and glanced at the village chief: "Will it really be useful?" ”

Zhang Qian's eyes rolled: "If you have a better way, then you don't have to listen to me." ”

The two of them frowned and pondered for a while, then the village chief gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do it, it's better to give it a try than to die!" ”

"Good!" Li Jinzhu said, "I'm going to talk to the villagers." Also firecrackers..."

"Ah, go and cut some bamboo, and I'll teach you how to do it."

The villagers got the news and were extremely excited!

They had endured it for too many years, and this year they finally had a way to deal with these two monsters!

Li Jinzhu looked at the villagers who were in full swing, and he was very bottomless.

Hope it helps! He sighed.

The villagers cut a lot of bamboo, Zhang Qian said: "The so-called firecrackers can also be called firecrackers, when the night beast comes, you light a fire and throw the bamboo into it, these bamboo nodes will burst out violently to scare away the night beast." ”

The villagers all showed surprised expressions, and a male villager whispered: "This young man knows a lot, I go up the mountain every day to cut trees and occasionally cut bamboo, but I never know these things about bamboo." ”

Then the blacksmith in the village found Zhang Qian and asked about the smelting of copper coins, Zhang Qian said: "You can refer to the size of the old beast to smelt the big copper coin, and the size of the copper coin must be just right to press the whole body of the old beast." ”

The blacksmith nodded and went.

Then Li Jinzhu found Zhang Qian again: "I got the red paper, and it was cut into a long shape according to your meaning, but how can I stick it on the door?" ”

This is not difficult for Zhang Qian, he doesn't need to be taught systematically by following his mother all the year round: "Set up a pot and put water to boil, then put the bran noodles in it and boil, you must stir slowly when cooking..."

"Isn't this just boiling mush?" Li Jinzhu asked.

"You just know, remember, you must not use stick noodles, you must use bran noodles." Zhang Qian admonished. The so-called bran flour is actually wheat flour, and after the wheat is ground into white flour, there will be some residues left, and these residues will be ground several times, and the last few times will come out of the bran flour.

Li Jinzhu felt more and more unreliable, but there was no other way but to give orders head-on.

The villagers were in full swing carrying out these tasks, and the four days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the thirtieth day of the lunar month, the last day of the old year.

Li Jinzhu found Zhang Qian, and at this moment he was very frightened and worried: "Brother Zhang Qian, tonight, the night beast and the year beast will come out, are you sure your method can work?" ”

"You just have to rest assured." Zhang Qian said patiently, "You have been taking good care of me these days, so of course I won't deceive you." Besides, if I deceived you, then I wouldn't be able to live, would I? ”

Li Jinzhu nodded: "If your method can work, then you are our savior!" ”

Zhang Qian smiled and waved his hand.

I'm also here to play a dungeon!

Time passed minute by minute, and soon in the evening, the villagers had eaten dinner in a nervous mood, and each pasted red paper, and then they all gathered in the big open space at the entrance of the village, and a raging fire was ignited.

Zhang Qian sat in front of the campfire dressed like a bear and instructed the villagers to carry the prepared things.

After a while, a deafening roar of wild beasts rang out outside the village.

The villagers were immediately frightened, the children were crying in fright, and some of the timid villagers were even trembling and ready to flee.

And Zhang Qian, who is the backbone of the backbone, has a calm appearance of an old god, and there is always a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

He wanted to see what the Nightfall Beast and the Yearling Beast looked like!

Soon, two huge figures appeared in his sight.

The old village chief was so frightened that he sat down on the ground: "Rest, rest!" The two monsters actually came together! ”

The villagers were even more scared, the children cried louder, and some of the villagers turned around and ran!

"Brother Zhang Qian..."Li Jinzhu's voice also trembled, like a candle flame dancing in the cold wind.

"Don't panic, everyone!" Zhang Qian said loudly, "With me, these two beasts can't make waves!" ”

The villagers immediately turned their attention to him.

As he spoke, the two huge demon beasts had also come closer.

The one on the left is very similar to the legendary unicorn, the dragon's head and deer body, but there are no horns, the whole body is blue and black, the mouth is full of fangs and eyes are fierce, the height is about two meters, the length can not be seen, this is the night beast; The one on the right is slightly smaller, dark yellow, looks like a dog and a wild boar, and has a very vicious face.

"You just said it?" The Nightfall Beast actually spoke, and his voice sounded very rough.

"Ouch, you can talk!" Zhang Qian smiled.

"Nonsense, I can still talk." The cat emperor who was lying on top of Zhang Qian's head also spoke.

The villagers standing around Zhang Qian were all stunned, looking at the cat emperor above Zhang Qian's head like a monster.

This cat is petite and cute, and the big girls, daughters-in-law, and children in the village are usually willing to look at it a few more times and touch it a few more times, but they didn't expect it to be able to talk!

So what to say......

"Look at what! Stupid human beings, who come to me every day, think what am I? The Cat Emperor grinned.

The villagers were all scared and fled.

The night beast snorted: "I said, how can anyone be so arrogant, it turns out that there is a cat demon to support you!" ”

The old beast also spoke: "It's just a cat demon that has always been a small one, and I can handle it myself." ”

Zhang Qian was stunned when he heard this voice, why is it so crisp? Is it still a mother?

"The sound of the year-old beast is like this, but it is male." The system says.

"What a hubroid guy!" The Cat Emperor snorted coldly, jumped off Zhang Qian's head, and changed his body size into a huge appearance more than one meter tall with a meow: "Then let me see what you can do!" ”

"Hey!" As soon as Zhang Qian said a word, the cat emperor jumped out and fought with the old beast.

"This guy's temper..."

The night beast said, "Boy, didn't you just say something crazy? Show me what you're capable of! ”

"Hmph, okay." Zhang Qian sneered, but he didn't intend to summon impermanence as soon as he came up, and the hole cards had to be left for the last fatal blow, so he took out two cards and tore them apart violently: "Zhao Yun!" Huang Zhong! Come to help! ”

Two gates of light appeared behind him out of thin air, and then the white horse was like the wind, and the arrows were like rain!

"Huh!" The villagers were shocked!

What happened?!

Who are these two people? How could it suddenly appear? And it came out of a door made of such a magical light?!

There is also this Zhang Qian, there is a cat demon lying on his head, and he waved his hand to make out two light gates, and a figure appeared in the light gate, what kind of person is this!

The ancients of that era were more ignorant and backward than modern people, and they were full of humble reverence for everything in the world, so someone immediately shouted: "This is a fairy!" ”

The villagers woke up from a dream!

"Immortals!"

"Yes, it's a fairy! Only immortals can have such powerful skills! ”

"Only immortals can subdue youkai and make them surrender at their feet!"

"Only an immortal can summon such a magical helper!"

The villagers looked up at Zhang Qian with pilgrimage eyes, and they all exclaimed!

Zhao Yun is dressed in silver armor and is heroic; Huang Zhong is dressed in feather armor, and he is suave!

There was a faint light on both of them, and the villagers naturally regarded them as gods from the sky in the first place!

So what would it be that the person who can summon the gods at will be if he is not an immortal?

The Beast was also slightly alarmed, but when he realized that the aura on the two new people was not very dangerous to him, he smiled: "It's just two wastes!" ”

"Roar!" It let out an earth-shattering roar, and its body swooped down!

"Dare to say that this will be a waste!" Zhao Yun couldn't help it first: "The evil animal is killed!" With that, he raised his silver spear and charged at the Nightfall Beast as soon as he pulled the reins!

Huang Zhong still didn't say a word, he seemed to be very reluctant to speak, but his attack was very fast and ruthless, and the feather arrows shot at the night beast like a storm!

Caught off guard, the Nightfall Beast struck several feathered arrows and immediately let out an angry roar.

He wanted to cross Zhao Yun to attack Huang Zhong, but Zhao Yun pestered him to death.

However, the two famous generals are only at the level of the ghost male, and they are also clones, so it is impossible for them to be the opponent of the night beast at all, but it is precisely because they are not the main body that they don't care about injury or even death, so the attacks of the two of them are all the kind of crazy onslaught that completely gives up defense!

The Xi Beast was also a little frightened under this reckless and crazy onslaught, but after all, the gap between the two sides was too big, and it didn't take long for Zhao Yun to be seriously injured several times, and his body slowly became illusory, and he slowly couldn't keep up with the Xi Beast's movements.

The Nightmon was finally able to get past him to deal with that pesky ranged attacker.

Huang Zhong's face was grim, the bow and arrow in his hand were still shooting angrily, Zhang Qian saw the night beast pounce, quickly turned his head and said loudly: "Quick! ”

The villagers had already made preparations, grabbed the prepared bamboo knots and threw them into the roaring fire.

"Crack! Syllable! "The bamboo made a popping noise in the fire!

When the night beast heard this violent explosion, it was immediately startled, and its body, which had come to pounce, stopped in the middle of the road, and its huge pupils flashed with horror.

The battle between the old beast and the cat emperor is also coming to an end, after all, the old beast is an ancient demon beast, not a kind of cat emperor who can only deal with a few hundred years of goblins, so the cat emperor suffered a lot of losses in the battle.

The old beast knew the weakness of the Xi Beast, and when he saw that the Xi Beast was frightened away, he was immediately angry, and roared angrily and forced out a demon qi to force the cat emperor back, and rushed straight to Zhang Qian's side, he wanted to spew out the demon qi to extinguish the fire pile!

Originally, when they saw the night beast being scared away, the villagers were all in good spirits, but now when they saw the old beast grinning and pounced on it, their faces suddenly turned white with fright!

Zhang Qian was still unhurried, and stood very calmly.

"Boy, you should die!" The old beast roared angrily, he knew that all this was a ghost made by Zhang Qian, as long as he was solved, these people would be the objects of any fish and flesh between him and the Xi Beast!

"Brother Zhang Qian!" Li Jinzhu exclaimed.

"Immortals!"

"Boy!" Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, who were continuing to fight with the Xi Beast, wanted to come to the rescue, but they couldn't get out at all.

The Elvis rushed to this side, but suddenly stopped halfway through, muttering to himself: "This guy has a secret weapon, I'm excited." ”

"You're the one who deserves to die! You man-eating beast! Zhang Qian yelled: "Black and white are impermanent!" Come and help! ”

Two rays of light shot up into the sky, and black and white impermanence came out of the ground!

Once again, the villagers were strongly frightened, and this time the most intense!

Human beings have an instinctive fear of death, and according to legend, it is the black and white impermanence of the underworld that comes to the mortal world when the end of human life is about to expire! So the villagers are really scared this time!

The year-old beast was no better, and the two huge beast eyes almost exploded on the spot: "What?!" ”

After the black and white impermanence appeared, he actually showed a surprised expression: "Year beast? ”

"Trouble both." Zhang Qian said.

"No problem." Bai Wuchang said, "It's just a teenager, we can only subdue it but not detain its soul." ”

"I know, all you need to do is subdue them."

Black and white impermanence nodded, Yama Luo Ling and the soul chain were dispatched at the same time, and the old beast was tied up by the soul chain before it could react!

"Bring the copper coins up!" Zhang Qian yelled.

The ghost soldiers had already been prepared, and when they heard the order, they flew over with the huge copper coin, and the villagers looked up at the sky blankly, they were already numb after so much.

The year-old beast trembled violently: "Don't do this! Spare me, please let me go! ”

"Hmph." Zhang Qian sneered: "Press down!" ”

The ghost soldiers suddenly agreed, and waved their arms down, and the huge copper coin 'bang' covered the body of the year-old beast, and in the sharp and piercing scream, the year-old beast slowly turned into a cloud of steaming white gas and disappeared.

The night beast wanted to come to the rescue, but Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong desperately dragged him, and after the old beast disappeared, black and white impermanence rushed over.

Under the negative buff of the bamboo boom, the night beast was quickly beaten in embarrassment, and then he let out an earth-shattering roar and quickly jumped out of the battle circle and flew into the village: "You wait for me, I will eat first and then come to fight with you!" ”

But he was stupid when he flew into the village, and he didn't expect that there was red paper on the doors of every house, and he immediately became dizzy and almost fell headlong from mid-air.

Seeing that the black and white impermanence rushed up again, the night beast finally roared with hatred: "Count you ruthless!" He turned and fled.

Black and white impermanence did not chase, they knew that even if they caught up, it was useless, the Xi Beast was a very magical demon beast, it could not be killed at all, it could not be detained, it could only be scared away.

Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Black and White Impermanence, and Ghost Soldiers were all taken back by Zhang Qian, and he walked happily to the villagers: "The old beast has disappeared, and the night beast has also suffered a big loss this time, as long as you follow my method every year, you won't dare to come again." ”

Li Jinzhu was the first to pounce and knelt down: "Thank you, immortals!" ”

Then the villagers all knelt down: "Thank you, gods!" Thank you, gods! ”

Zhang Qian helped him up and said loudly: "I'm not an immortal, I'm just an ordinary person." Rise up, everybody, it's cold on the ground. ”

Li Jinzhu looked at him excitedly and movingly: "Thank you for saving us all!" ”

The old village chief is also full of tears: "Thank you!" How can we repay you? ”

Li Jinzhu also hurriedly said: "How can we repay you?" The villagers also asked.

Zhang Qian pondered for a while and said, "That's it, I'm really short of things." ”

"Say what you need! As long as we have it," the old village chief and Li Jinzhu said loudly.

"Yes, of course...... Recommended tickets and tips were collected! ”

——Gaiden - "Chinese New Year's Eve" ends.
