Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Fox Demon in the Mountains

Twenty days after the wedding banquet and three days after Zhang Yuanwai's birthday, another funeral was held, a funeral attended by only two people: Zhang Yuanwai and Zhang Liang.

After the funeral, Zhang Liang cleaned up his back garden full of strange flowers, removed all the strange flowers that had been extremely powerful in the past, and then planted an epiphany, which was presented on Zhang Yuanwai's birthday. Then from the next day, Zhang Liang moved into the garden, and every day he either turned the soil and watered the water to take care of the epiphany, or whispered silently to the epiphany, or stayed quietly.

Zhang Yuanwai looked at Zhang Liang from a distance several times, and he looked sad and didn't say a word. It wasn't until seven days later, after Zhang Liang was still emaciating like this every day, that he finally couldn't bear it anymore and begged Lin Mo to save his son.

"Mr. Lin, can you use immortal magic to wash away my son's memory? I've heard that the gods and goddesses have the ability to erase people's memories! ”

Lin Mo sighed: "Outside of Zhang Yuan, my cultivation is low, and I can't cast this kind of spell. ”、

Cultivators do have this kind of spell, and they can be subdivided into two types: sealing memories and washing away memories. But either way, it's not what Lin Mo can do now.

In the earth world, memory is in the brain, which is the vital ground of life, but in the eyes of practitioners, memory is related to the soul. But no matter what, taking action on memory is a very strict thing, and a careless mistake may cause damage to the soul, which is also the reason why some evil soul searching spells often cause the recipient to be stupid. If you want to perfectly cover up a memory without causing harm to Zhang Liang, Lin Mo can't do it.

Hope was empty, and Zhang Yuanwai lamented again: "My poor son! Those Taoist priests! If I can see them again, I will crush them to pieces! ”

After Xiao Tan's death, Zhiqiu Yiye and the three of them left Zhang's Mansion with their heads down, and even quickly left Echeng. Looking at their expressions, Lin Mo knew that they might not take the initiative to step into Echeng again.

"Also, whoever subdues the demon like this, he won't have the face to stay!"

Raising his head, he also looked at Zhang Liang who was sitting stupidly in the courtyard and looking at the epiphany, Lin Mo sighed again.

Things have come to this point, and Zhiqiu Yiye and his party have a responsibility that cannot be shirked. They obviously didn't expect that there really were youkai who were willing to give up their lives to save their human companions.

But in fact, thinking about it carefully, Lin Mo felt that things couldn't all be blamed on the three of Zhiqiu Yiye, it was the people who really created this tragedy, and it was the full house of guests who watched the exhibition with strange eyes at that time.

Otherwise, Zhang Liang is only half of his body disfigured, as long as he searches for famous doctors, and then uses a lot of money to get some precious medicinal materials, supplemented by spells, how can he not be cured? Where is Xiao Tan treated at the cost of his life? Xiao Tan saw everyone's strange eyes, and knew that as long as he was alive, he would bring Zhang Liang a future that would be discriminated against, and would bring unfortunate Zhan to Zhang's house, so he took the initiative to die!

Otherwise, where would Xiao Tan use to do this?

With a deep sigh, Lin Mo stepped forward, walked into the courtyard, and stopped in front of Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang was unconscious, still squatting on the ground, stupidly looking at the epiphany in front of him.

"Brother Zhang, it's time for me to go. Ning Caichen and a few classmates were going to take the exam, so I went with them. ”

Zhang Liang remained silent.

Lin Mo saw it, thought about it in his heart, and said, "Brother Zhang, maybe, you can still see Xiao Tan again." ”

Zhang Liang suddenly raised his head, and his eyes glared straight over: "What did you say?!" ”

"Although Xiao Tan has given you all his life essence, wishing you to recover from your injuries and strengthen your body, there is also a little true spirit lodged on this epiphany. In a longer time, maybe one day, this true spirit will be resurrected on this epiphany! ”

Zhang Liang was suddenly ecstatic, jumping around this epiphany.

Lin Mo saw his happy appearance, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to say this.

What he said was half-true and half-false, Xiao Tan died as an unnatural death, and there was indeed a little bit of true spirit flying out, staying on this multi-epiphany, and after a few years or even more than ten years, there may indeed be a new epiphany demon giving birth to spiritual value, and it was bred from it. But at that time, the epiphany demon spirit was no longer Xiao Tan, even if it had some memories of Xiao Tan because of its origin, but in the final analysis, it was not Xiao Tan, but a newborn epiphany demon spirit!

Lin Mo didn't say anything about it, after all, for Zhang Liang, the current information was enough.

"If you want Xiao Tan to come back to life as soon as possible, do more activities, experience more things, and wait until the evening, and tell her about it. This will help that little bit of true spirit to give birth to true spirituality as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Liang listened and nodded repeatedly.

That's all it takes. Lin Mo sighed, turned around and left the courtyard. When passing by the door, Zhang Yuanwai bowed deeply to Lin Mo.

When Lin Mo walked out of Zhang's mansion, Ning Caichen and the three scholars were already waiting for him. When he saw him come out, he immediately stepped forward to salute: "There is Mr. Laurin on this trip." ”

As soon as the birthday banquet passed, everyone knew that Lin Mo was not a scholar, but a stranger with immortal skills. At present, several of them have to go to the government to take the exam, not only the distance is long, but they also have to go through the mountains and wilderness, so they naturally have more respect for Lin Mo, a capable stranger.

"You don't have to be out of the woods." Lin Mo didn't want to break up the relationship between them, so he waved his hand casually and said, "It's better to call me Brother Lin."

Several scholars glanced at each other and nodded.

A few people were about to leave, and someone rushed out of Zhang's mansion and handed Lin Mo a package, saying that it was a gift from Zhang Yuanwai. Lin Mo opened it and saw that it was more than a dozen silver ingots, and he didn't shirk it, he simply accepted it and went on the road with the scholars.

Finally, when he left Echeng at the city gate, Lin Mo glanced back and said softly: "Ning Caichen, what do you think of a monster now?" ”

Ning Caichen groaned slightly, as if he wanted to say a lot, but in the end, he only whispered: "In short, shemales have different paths." ”

Lin Mo sighed, didn't stop any longer, and led a few scholars to stride away.

……

The background of the world of Liaozhai is very interesting, and it is a feudal dynasty called Xia at the moment. This dynasty is similar to that of ancient China, with not only emperors and civil and military officials, but also imperial examinations. Ning Caichen and the others had to travel a long way to take the exam in the state capital before they asked Lin Mo to protect them. Just as Zhang Liang's matter came to an end, Lin Mo also had the heart to continue to take a look, so he simply agreed.

There are mortal scholars, and the method of escape is naturally unusable. A few people went out early in the morning, and by noon, they had walked less than forty miles of mountain roads, and they were still in a barren mountain range.

"Brother Lin, are we looking for a place to rest?"

Lin Mo saw that several scholars were sweating profusely, so he nodded: "Then let's rest for a while." ”

A few scholars let out a sigh of relief, sat on the ground one after another, took out steamed buns, pickles and water bladders from the package behind them, and ate them one bite at a time. Lin Mo was not hungry, with his current cultivation, it would be no problem to go without food for five or six days in a row, not to mention such a short distance, so he simply crossed his legs and meditated with his eyes closed.

After a while, Ning Caichen took the lead in putting away the dry food and asked Lin Mo, "Brother Lin, how did you get on the path of cultivation?" ”

As soon as he asked, the other three scholars also put away their dry food and looked at it curiously. After all, for mortals, cultivation is really a magical thing.

There is nothing to say about this, Lin Mo thought back to the past, opened his eyes and smiled: "By chance, I was led into the mountain gate by a monkey. ”

Monkey? Several scholars looked at each other, not knowing what the situation was.

"What, look down on monkeys?" Lin Mo laughed: "I tell you, some monkeys, not to mention people, even us ordinary cultivators, can't compare!" ”

"How is this possible?" Some scholars did not believe: "Man is the spirit of all things, where can a wild beast be compared?" ”

"I think it's possible." Ning Caichen said: "There are too many things in the world beyond our imagination. Like Brother Zhang's concubine, who would have thought that she would be a flower demon? ”

When it came to Xiao Tan, the scholars were silent, and they looked at each other, all with complicated expressions.

Zi Bu is silent, the monster is confused, the education they have received has determined their attitude towards the monster, coupled with the fact that the demon has been haunted for thousands of years, it seems that all kinds of rebuke to the monster is the right thing to do. But Xiao Tan's actions shocked them, and it stands to reason that they should be praised, after all, even human couples can't do this kind of process...... But in this case, no matter how you say it, you will simply not comment.

Lin Mo saw it, and sighed in his heart: Ning Caichen is right, shemales have different paths!

As he was sighing, his heart moved, and he looked up, but saw a rickety old man standing out, walking here on crutches. The scholars also noticed this old man, and they were immediately surprised: how did this old man come here in this barren mountain and old forest?

The old man walked closer, saluted Lin Mo and his party with a cane, and said in a hoarse accent: "The old man has given you a salute!" ”

The scholars got up one after another and saluted back: "I've seen the old gentleman." I don't know who you are? How did you get to this deep mountain and old forest? ”

The old man replied: "I am old, others call me Hu Lao, and my home is three miles in front of here." I have heard that you gentlemen have come, and I would like to invite you to my house to talk about some books to my daughter. ”

Several scholars glanced at each other and looked at Lin Mo one after another.

The old man saw that Lin Mo was a principal, so he said to Lin Mo again: "There will be rain in a while, it will not be easy to travel far, Mr. can sponsor one night at my place, and go again tomorrow." ”

Lin Mo immediately raised his eyebrows.

At the first glance of this old man, Lin Mo knew his identity: monster! And it's a fox demon! Cultivate as a little fox demon who only has the realm of qi refining! There is no doubt that this little fox demon is also the same as Xiao Tan at the beginning, he was deceived by his identity in a scholarly robe, and he thought he was just an ordinary scholar!

Seeing that it was quiet and bloodless demonic aura, Lin Mo didn't plan to get rid of the demon, he wanted to drink it back, but when he heard this fox demon say that there would be rain, he hesitated: without him, if it really rains, he is nothing, but Ning Caichen and a few scholars can't walk the mountain road against the rain, right?

And at the same time, he also had a doubt: how did this fox demon know that it would rain in the afternoon?

However, all cultivators have some ability to observe the celestial phenomena and predict the weather, and this celestial phenomenon is the information given by the heavenly court - the heavenly court governs the heavens and the earth, and wherever there is rain and sunny tomorrow, it will be displayed through the celestial phenomena. The practitioner then obtains this information by surveying the heavens. This is how most practitioners predict the weather.

But in the world of Liaozhai, the heavenly court is gone, where is the celestial information? During this time, Lin Mo also looked at the sky during his meditation at night, but except for those unchanged stars, he couldn't see any celestial phenomena! This fox demon has a low cultivation, how do you know?

So after thinking about it, Lin Mo simply nodded: "Okay then, let's go to the old gentleman to borrow it for one night." ”

Anyway, this fox demon cultivation can't refine qi, even if he has any ideas, he can't suppress it in the palm of his hand.

Seeing that Lin Mo agreed, Ning Caichen and several scholars also nodded. The old fox demon was very happy, turned around first, and led everyone forward.

Turning left and right, everyone walked for two or three miles, and sure enough, they saw a small courtyard located in the mountains and forests, vaguely integrated with the mountains and forests.

Lin Mo fixed his eyes and secretly praised the fox demon's thoughts: this small courtyard is transformed from a big willow tree, although it looks like it is all about the courtyard wall and roof to protect it from the wind and rain, but in fact, it is all relying on this giant willow and the silk hanging around! It's just that the fox demon used an illusion to make the scholars invisible!

"Gentlemen, please come in."

The fox demon lifted the hanging willow in a good way, that is, pushed open the door of the small courtyard, and Ning Caichen and the others entered and entered under the giant willow.

At this moment, the slightest line of rain fell from the sky, and soon the sky was dense - as the fox demon said, it began to rain.

The scholars thanked the fox demon one after another, but Lin Mo frowned and looked up at the sky: This rain is not normal!

Even if there is no heavenly urging, the rain, as the natural operation of heaven and earth, should first have clouds and qi gathering, then thunder and lightning, and then rain falling! But this rain is really strange, not to mention thunder and lightning, and even the clouds have not gathered! It's like someone bringing a basin of white water and pouring it down from heaven!

Wrong! It's so wrong!

"Sir, don't delay, let's hurry inside, don't suffer the cold!"

Lin Mo took a deep look at the old fox demon and nodded. 、

I have to say that the illusion of the fox demon is very good, after entering the inside, I will see the candlestick picture scroll, the white bi long table, all of which are like ordinary people's houses, and the layout is very fine. If he hadn't seen through what was in front of him, Lin Mo would have thought that he had arrived at a mountain and wild family, just like the scholars.

"Gentlemen, wait a moment, and the old man will go and call the children out and listen to your teachings."

The scholars nodded their heads. So the old fox demon turned around and went into the inner hall.

"Brother Lin, is this okay?" A few scholars were sipping tea, and Ning Cai, who was sitting beside Lin Mo, suddenly bent over and asked softly: "I always feel a little strange, where would anyone settle down in this deep mountain and old forest?" And how can such an old man live independently? ”

Lin Mo smiled: "You're smart. ”

Ning Caichen's eyes widened suddenly: "Brother Lin, could it be that old manβ€”"

"It's fine. You just do yours. For us, just shelter from the rain! ”

Ning Caichen hurriedly nodded.

This conversation went unnoticed by the other three scholars. When they put down the teacup in their hands, the old fox demon had already led a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman back.

This is an extremely beautiful woman. She has a beautiful appearance, her eyes are cut water, a fiery red short-sleeved long skirt shows her white lotus arms, and a scarf around her waist highlights her graceful posture of bee waist and hips!

Ning Caichen and the three scholars suddenly widened their eyes, their eyes fascinated. Even Lin Mo couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart: This is completely a beauty at the same level as Xiaoqing!

Seeing this, the old fox demon showed a smug smile and said slowly: "I wonder which gentleman is willing to teach my daughter?" ”
