Xue Jing's protector is a little girl, who looks like she is fifteen or sixteen years old, with a light green gauze dress, a red bandeau top, and neatly combed hair, looking clean and energetic. When I entered the door, she was standing far away by the window, staring at Tang Qi next to Xue Jing's bed.

This little girl should be the maid beside the deer god Niangniang, so her cultivation should not be weaker than Tang Qi. But for some reason, there was a sense of uneasiness in her eyes, as if she was afraid of Tang Qi.

"Tang Qi, don't scare her", I said lightly, "She is very timid. ”

Tang Qi slowly retreated to my side, "Brother, should I avoid it?" ”

"Okay, I'll talk to her, you go outside and keep an eye on it," I said.

Seeing Tang Qi leaving, the little girl suddenly calmed down a lot, she walked to the bedside, knelt down slowly, and whispered a few words, I pricked up my ears and listened carefully, but I didn't hear a word clearly.

Xue Jing on the bed didn't react, she slept very sweetly, but the little girl seemed to be a little excited, talking and talking, falling on the ground and sobbing.

I wanted to come closer and talk to the little girl, but as soon as I took a step, her form suddenly disappeared.

I was stunned, what's going on? Walked a few steps to the place where she was kneeling just now, looked around, and saw no sign of her.

"You're not so daring, are you? I'm here to protect Xue Jing, I have a question for you! I said, "You used to be afraid of that formation, but now that the formation has been broken by us, can't you tell if we are friends or enemies?" ”

There was no movement.

"Girl, I know that you are the maid of the deer god, only you know the secret of her", I continued, "If you don't tell me, then I don't know how to protect her next, so don't hide, come out and let's talk!" ”

Still no movement.

I breathed a sigh of relief helplessly and sat down on the bed, "It's not that I'm scaring you, you also have magical powers, you should know that the snake demon thief is not dead, and sooner or later he will personally come out to deal with Xue Jing." If you don't trust me and don't help me, then okay, I'll do it my own way! ”

"What's your method?" A timid voice came from behind me.

I looked back and saw that she was standing on the other side of the bed, looking at me blankly.

I laughed, "You've finally come out, hey, am I that scary?" ”

She thought for a moment and shook her head.

I stood up, getting closer to her, when she suddenly became alert, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I'm closer to you, your voice is too small for me to hear!" I couldn't help but say, walked over to her and sat down, and looked at her quietly, "Girl, what's your name?" ”

"I ...... No name", she looked at me worriedly, "she called me girl." ”

"Uh...... Girl", I nodded, smiling, "yes, she did mention you just now, as if she was calling you back, right?" ”

She looked at Xue Jing and stopped talking.

I was a little embarrassed, "Little girl, we can't talk like this." ”

"What do you want to say to me?" She turned to look at me.

"About the secret of the deer god Niangniang", I said, "She is obviously from the snake demon, why did she hide in the human world in turn?" ”

She smiled, "Why should I tell you? ”

"Because I'm going to protect her!" I said, "The snake demon is almost recovering, and it doesn't come to take revenge in person, but keeps sending minions to scare Xue Jing, which shows that it has some scruples." I just want to know what it cares about! ”

She looked at Xue Jing on the bed and was silent.

"Girl, if you can trust me, please tell me, and I will protect her," I said, "if you can't trust me, the formation will be broken anyway, and you will come back, and I will hand her over to you now, and this matter will have nothing to do with me." ”

"I can't protect her, my task is to keep her secret and wait for someone who is destined", she said softly, "That person should be you." ”

"Maybe," I smiled, "and you can tell me the secret?" ”

She glanced at me, "She has four maids, two of them are demons she has subdued, the other two, one she brought from the heavenly realm, and one of me. I don't know where I came from, but my strength is the weakest. Before she was reincarnated, she sent the three maids away, leaving me alone to come with her, and she said that only I could keep the secret for her and help her complete her mission. ”

"What the hell is the secret?" I'm getting more and more interested.

"The snake in the town under the Panlong Ditch was originally a heavenly demon, and it used to be a general of the demon world, named Eight-Eyed Red Dragon", she said, "More than 2,000 years ago, the demon world attacked the sky, and after a fierce battle, the demon world finally failed. The eight-eyed red dragon was scattered and fell into the mortal world, and after more than 800 years of hibernation, it turned into a snake demon and reborn to plague the world. ”

"That's why the Heavenly Realm sent the Deer God Niangniang to the Nether?"

"She is not called the deer god Niangniang", she said, "She was originally the white deer fairy in the heavenly realm, and at that time, the plague was everywhere in the world, and she brought her maid to the lower realm to administer medicine to save people." But after she arrived in the human world, in addition to saving people, she also did two more things, and because of these two things, she couldn't go back to the heavenly realm. ”

"What two things?"

"There is a spirit immortal princess in the sea of clouds in the upper realm who will come to the world to experience calamities, and she was also scattered and her body fell, and her primordial spirit was severely damaged, and it was difficult to reincarnate alone. After the white deer fairy finished applying the medicine, she saw her when she was about to return to heaven, so she turned into a white deer and sent her to a tribe, so that she could be reincarnated smoothly, which was the first thing. ”

"Well, what about the second one?"

"After sending the princess, a new plague broke out in the Zhongzhou generation, and she no longer had any immortal medicine in her hands, so she came to Taihang Mountain to collect some elixir to save people."

"And then she met the eight-eyed red dragon, and then she subdued it?" I hurriedly asked.

She sighed, "Yes, but it's not so easy to accept." Previously, in order to help Princess Lingxian reincarnate, she spent a lot of True Yuan, and the eight-eyed red dragon was very fierce, so they fought for a few days and nights, and they didn't know the winner. In the end, it was the Heavenly Realm that sent an Upper Immortal to the Lower Realm, and it took the Nine Heavenly Thunder to beat the Eight-Eyed Red Dragon into a wisp of green smoke. ”

"Then why is this snake demon still there?" I don't understand.

"Although the eight-eyed red dragon was scattered, there were still some remnants of its divine sense, so the upper immortal imprisoned these divine senses and sealed them in the leylines under that mountain," she said, "After that fierce battle, the White Deer Fairy was seriously injured and could no longer return to the heavenly realm. So she stayed, using her divine power to seal the leylines under the mountain, imprisoning the snake demon while using the surrounding aura to cultivate. ”

"That's what happened," I nodded, "and what about later?" ”

"The white deer fairy is very kind, many times to help the mountain people who are lost in the collection of medicine, so the mountain people are grateful for its kindness, and they made a stone statue for her in the cave where she appeared, and the incense is offered for generations, and she is called the deer god Niangniang. Hundreds of years later, the eight-eyed red dragon regrouped and took shape, becoming a powerful snake demon, but due to the suppression of the White Deer Fairy, it was never able to escape. Once, while the White Deer Fairy was cultivating, it sneaked out and turned into a giant snake, which happened to be seen by several local hunters. Before it could eat people, the White Deer Fairy arrived and beat it back into the ground. The hunters were frightened, and when they returned, they spread the word, and from then on, the legend had arisen in that place. ”

"Later, Uncle Ming, they dug up the leyline, and the snake demon ran out, can't the deer god Niangniang beat it? Why do you want to hide in the world? I looked at her.

"She's not dodging, this is an opportunity for her," she said, "Although the eight-eyed red dragon has become a demon again, it is not the opponent of the White Deer Fairy with its strength alone." It's just that when Xue Jianming entered Panlong Ditch, it was the time when the White Deer Fairy had achieved great cultivation and was about to experience another tribulation. If she goes all out to survive the tribulation, the snake demon will be in great trouble in the world in the future, but if she doesn't cross the tribulation, her cultivation will be ruined, and she will not be able to return to the heavenly realm. So after weighing it, she chose to be reincarnated and spend the tribulation in the world. ”

"Wait, I want to think about it", I pondered for a moment, "reincarnated as a human being, suffering a little in the world, and suffering the calamity of life and death, this is equivalent to a catastrophe, doesn't that mean?" ”

She nodded, "That's what many immortals do." ”

"But what is the secret you just said, I still haven't explained it!"

"The secret ......," she looked at me with complicated eyes, "do you have to know?" ”

"Yes, you have to know, otherwise you don't know the bottom of your heart", I said seriously.

She looked at Xue Jing on the bed again, "She has a fate in the world, if this fate is not possible, then she can't get over this catastrophe." ”

I swallowed, "What's the fate?" ”

She looked at me, "Bad fate." ”

"Bad fate?" I was stunned, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"Don't ask so much", she looked outside, "the reason why the snake demon didn't show up was because he was waiting for the right time. There is a power hidden in Xue Jing's body, which is the spiritual power of the Yuan Shen that she has cultivated for thousands of years. The snake demon has always wanted to devour her primordial god, not only for revenge, but also to obtain this primordial spirit power and restore its eight-eyed red dragon demon body. But this primordial god's spiritual power is very powerful, once Xue Jing's life is threatened, it will appear and help her tide over the difficulties. So the snake demon has followed her for more than 20 years, and she has never dared to do it. ”

"Then why do you dare to do it now?" I asked.

"Because the time for Xue Jing to cross the tribulation is approaching, and the power of the primordial god has begun to seal itself," she said, "so now is the time when she is at her weakest, and it is also the time that the snake demon has been waiting for for a long time." If Xue Jing's divine sense is dispersed, then her primordial power will completely seal herself, and when she dies, that power will leave her body, and the snake demon can seize the opportunity to devour this power together with Xue Jing's primordial spirit. ”

I couldn't help but gasp and feel a little tingling in my back.

She looked at me, "Nine days later, it will be the day of her tribulation, and at that time, whether it succeeds or not, the power of the primordial god will disappear, and the purpose of the snake demon will be frustrated." So within these nine days, you must protect her, the snake demon will only appear once, and once it comes, it will be a decisive battle. ”

I was a little dazed, "Decisive battle...... Within 9 days...... Girl, do you think I can be the match of the snake demon? ”

She shook her head, "Tell you frankly, I don't know, but you are the person she is destined to be, if you are not the opponent of the snake demon, then the White Deer Fairy will have no hope of returning to the sky, and will fall forever into reincarnation......"
