The old lady looked out the window at the night, the leaves rustling in the evening breeze, but it seemed even more lonely.

"Old woman...... What is that river god? After a long silence, Banxia raised his head, looked at the old man looking from afar, and asked tentatively.

"She...... She is also a miserable person......" The old lady stroked the back of the black cat lying on the windowsill, and the black cat actually raised her chin and seemed to enjoy it: "In the very old days, she was still alone, and she was depressed because her loved one longed for another woman, and finally ended up committing suicide by throwing herself into the river. ”

"But, wouldn't a human who died like this become a ghost, or a bridge hime? How did you become a river god? Banxia came to the old woman's side and lay on the windowsill gently, and the black cat moved his body in a funny way and made way for Banxia. Banxia looked at the scenery outside the window, and had to say that this kind of small house built in the mountains has no worldly hustle and bustle, and it is indeed like a high-ranking retreat.

"Yes, she was supposed to be a wandering spirit, but it's a pity, she, because it happened that the river god of the river had just been feathered, and she happened to get the relics of the river god and became a god, but this god was formed because of resentment, so she was not a good god......" The old lady looked at the tree in the distance and said seriously.

"Is she a god or not?" Banxia turned her head and looked at the kind old lady.

"She's the god of women, a kind of river god who has a god position but does bad things, because of the memory loss caused by death and only obsessions, extremely hated beautiful women, you see, the people who were taken away were not all beautiful young women?"

"So...... Why didn't she show up before? She must have been around for a long time, right? Banxia asked.

"......" the old lady pondered for a while: "Because of the heavens...... It's getting dark. ”

"Dark? What does that mean? Banxia looked at the old lady suspiciously, and asked puzzled.

The old lady lowered her head and stroked the black cat: "You are still too young and have too many prospects, you shouldn't know this." These are too heavy for you...... By the way, you don't have a serious practice yet, do you? The old lady raised her head and looked at Banxia.

"Exercises?" Banxia suddenly felt that she still knew too little.

"Well, I just know that the urging spells and magic tools are just scratching the surface, and they must be matched with exercises that can reasonably mobilize the aura in the body, so that they can be more proud, from small to gathering qi to being predetermined, and each has its own wonder. The exercises naturally vary from person to person, some people have weak physiques and can cultivate the vajra body to make up for it, and some people have strong spirits, so they can practice qi control techniques and strengthen their ability to control aura......" The old lady looked at Banxia's face, pondered for a while, and showed a smile: "That's it...... Well, it looks like I know what you need. ”

After saying that, she turned around, walked to a bookshelf not far away, stood on tiptoe, took a yellowed ancient book from a tall mezzanine, and handed it to her in Banxia's curious gaze.

"This is ......" Banxia looked at the book in his hand curiously, with a puzzled expression.

"The main spell you used before, it seems that Huo Boy didn't cheat you...... This is a hexagram, your eight characters are too light, and you really can't control too powerful qi, so this exercise that only uses a small amount of qi to control the charm is the most suitable for you, different hexagrams with different hexagrams, in fact, it is not bad. The old lady patiently explained.

"That's it......" Banxia carefully opened the ancient book, looking at the very subtle techniques that he would never have thought of when he used the charm, and couldn't help but secretly marvel at the magic of this science.

"But...... Why didn't Huo Qian tell me this before? Banxia suddenly reacted and asked Mrs. Xiang.

The old lady laughed out loud: "He's just a little exorcist, how can he be qualified to preach and solve doubts?" You're still looking too highly of him. ”

Banxia turned his head to look at Huo Qian angrily, but Huo Qian sat at the table, not daring to look back, pretending not to hear or see anything, and kept playing a gossip plate with Lianke.

"All right, little girl." The old lady gently patted Banxia's shoulder: "It's also fate that you can meet Huo Xiaozi, old lady, I watched Huo Xiaozi grow up, and I haven't seen him care so much about anyone." ”

Banxia listened to the old lady's words, and her face couldn't help but turn red, while Huo Qian, who was sitting with his back to the two of them, trembled subconsciously, and seemed to have a bit of a big mood swing.

"Hehe, you're still too young." The old lady raised her head and looked at the moon in the sky that was half covered by dark clouds: "But it's good to be young......"

"Mother-in-law, let's ......" Banxia seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by the old lady.

"Looks like I've got a guest...... The little girl was quiet. The old lady went to the door, pulled it open, and a great wind rushed into the house. Banxia turned around and was surprised to see a huge black viscous mass entering the room with the evil wind, it was huge, and it was only its head that entered the room, but it was not a physical body, just a powerful mass of resentment, if it weren't for the iron mask on its face, it really wouldn't be able to tell that this was its head.

Seeing its arrival, even Huo Qian and Lian Ke closed their mouths obediently, as if they were very afraid of this big monster, Banxia naturally didn't speak, but they still felt extremely surprised, because the resentment in this monster's body was extremely powerful, and it seemed to be able to cover the sky on this mountain, which couldn't help but make people feel afraid.

"Eating messily again? How many times have I said it, and I am still so careless. The old lady stretched out her hand and gently tapped the monster's forehead, and the monster shrank back like a child, and its honest appearance looked a little cute.

The old lady walked to a large shelf, took out a package from a drawer, and handed it to the monster, who actually stretched out a small hand from its huge body, took the package, and after bowing his head slightly to express his gratitude, the monster quickly poured out of the hut and flew into the distance.

Banxia hurriedly came to the window, looking at the huge figure floating in the sky in the distance, and her mood couldn't calm down for a long time.

"It's a monster that covers the sky, and legend has it that its huge body can block the sun, but it always eats a bad stomach, just like Huo Xiaozi when he was a child." The old lady walked over and smiled.

"It'...... Is it your Hyakki? After seeing that such a powerful monster had so much respect for the old lady, and even asked for her, Banxia no longer doubted the depth of the old lady's ability, and even had a little more respect for the title.

"It's not...... I've been retired for many years, and now I'm just an old woman living on a mountainside......" said the old lady with the black cat in her arms.
