Chapter 22

"Why, aren't you his senior brother?" Although Zhuang Xiaosheng is a person, although he looks talented, he does not have the Qinghao aura of a cultivator. But he actually wanted to harm his junior brother like this, Jin Xiaosi felt a little incredible.

"He and I have been cultivating on Baicheng Mountain since we were children, and it is clear that my Dao skills and mana are more exquisite and superior than his, but the master is still partial to him, and he actually wants to grant him a true inheritance, and even wants to teach him the position of head of the family. Oh, what am I like him?"

Oh, yes. Jin Xian'er couldn't help but think of herself. She obviously has the same appearance as Jin Xiaosi, and she is more sensible and reasonable, with a dignified temperament, why is Li Huanian willing to get along with Jin Xiaosi and not want to get close to her?

Zhuang Xiaosheng continued: "This time we came to Qingping Town together, in fact, it was also a competition arranged by the master. Whoever can eliminate harm for the people first will have a better chance of winning. Right now, the three-tailed demon fox is dead at my hands, but I still can't get enough. As long as he was in Baicheng Mountain, Master couldn't treat me with all his heart. He's got to leave!"

Jin Xian'er's eyes were as bright as the clear lake water in autumn: "I empathize with your sadness." In that case, we can't let the people who don't care about us be happy. ”

When Jin Xian'er and Zhuang Xiaosheng returned to Jinfu together, many domestic servants were sent out to look for her, and the rest had already become a pot of porridge. Without her in charge of the house, everything is out of order. When the servants saw her, they were overjoyed, and hurriedly went to tell Master Jin, who had waited all night before resting. Jin Xiaosi appeared faster than Master Jin, only to see that her eyes were dark and blue, her eyes were red and swollen, obviously she hadn't slept well, and she cried again.

"Sister, you're finally back!" Jin Xiaosi was a little excited, and grabbed Jin Xian'er's hand tightly. Because she herself was injured, she lost her breath, felt a dull pain in her heart, and coughed a few times.

Jin Xian'er pulled her to sit down and said with concern: "You are also injured, you can't rest well, what are you doing to toss yourself like this, it doesn't make me feel distressed." ”

Jin Xiaosi was reluctant to let go of her sister who came back safely, and her eyes were sour and tears fell. She listened to Jin Xian'er's words, although the words were concerned, but it seemed that something was missing, and she always felt that it was not that taste. It seems that the flowers embroidered on the brocade handkerchief, although lifelike, are always less alive and not true.

"Sister, you have suffered a terrible thunderstorm, and you have suffered all night, and your clothes are ragged, why are you still so radiant? Jin Xiaosi looked at Jin Xian'er's face, she felt that something was not right before, and finally suddenly found that she was more beautiful.

Jin Xian'er smiled slightly, and a touch of enchanting color spread between her eyebrows, and there was a kind of romantic charm that a girl did not have: "Why is your mouth so sweet, so it makes me happy?" But when it comes to Tianlei, it's all because Zhuang Daochang has a high level of mana, and he secretly protected me at that time, and I can be safe now. After falling off the cliff, he also found me overnight and sent me home. ”

"Oh...... I see. That, thank you Zhuang Dao. Jin Xiaosi turned his head and thanked Zhuang Xiaosheng lightly.

Zhuang Xiaosheng couldn't see her indifference to herself, but she didn't take it to heart, and smiled back: "Subduing demons and eliminating demons, helping the world and saving people, is what people who want to do the Tao, and the girl doesn't need to say thank you." ”

As he was talking, Master Jin came to the hall in a hurry surrounded by a group of domestic servants, and when he saw Jin Xian'er, he suddenly burst into tears: "My heart, my daughter, you are back." Why are your clothes torn like this? You have sinned so badly, and it hurts for your father. How did you get back safely and in good condition?"

Jin Xian'er told Jin Xiaosi what she had just said to him, and told him again in detail.

Master Jin burst into tears and kept wiping his sleeves: "My son, you have suffered." Quick, go down first to tidy up your appearance, and then drink some bird's nest to replenish. ”

Jin Xian'er replied yes, and felt that something was missing. Looking around, I didn't see Li Huanian's figure.

"Father, where is Daochang Li?"

Master Jin said: "After you fell off the cliff yesterday, Li Dao An took a moment of thought, and went out to look for you, and he has not come back yet." ”

Jin Xian'er was stunned for a moment, and said gloomily: "I'll go down to change clothes first." ”

Soon after Jin Xian'er left, Li Huanian returned. Dusty and tired. As soon as he heard that Jin Xian'er was rescued by Zhuang Xiaosheng, the worried look between his eyebrows went down.

Zhuang Xiaosheng saw him coming, and it happened that Master Jin was also there, so he showed the body of the three-tailed fox: "Master Jin, junior brother, this is the demon we are looking for." She was also seriously injured last night, and I met her and ended her. ”

"Okay, good, it's really happy! Daoist Zhuang is really a good skill!" Master Jin couldn't help but applaud, and the exhaustion of staying up all night was swept away by this good news: "Quick, inform the major families and townspeople that the evil has been eliminated! Gather people together, and ask the two Taoist leaders to cremate the demon in front of everyone, so as to comfort people's hearts and vent the hatred in the hearts of the families of the dead and injured!"

Li Huanian and Zhuang Xiaosheng also responded.

Master Jin remembered something again, and continued to instruct: "Go and tell the eldest lady that before burning the demons, the sacrificial ceremony will be carried out first to thank the ancestors for their protection." Invite her to dress up and dance the sacrificial dance. ”

The Jin Mansion quickly arranged this matter, and the people at the sacrificial platform gradually gathered more. A blazing brazier was lit around the area, and nine high incense sticks were lit, making people sweat slightly.

The bare-chested man began to beat the drum, and the sacrificial ceremony was about to begin.

Surrounded by a group of women in blue, the woman in the red dress was like a concubine, graceful and luxurious, with a faint enchanting aura between her eyebrows. The beauty of Jin Xian'er is like a fire, and as soon as the wind gently stirs, it will burst into flames, instantly focusing everyone's attention.

"She had rarely dressed so brightly, and she didn't expect to be so beautiful. Zhuang Xiaosheng said beside Li Huanian.

For the first time, Li Huanian felt that he didn't like this senior brother very much, and felt that his eyes and tone were slightly frivolous: "Senior brother, cultivators should not be rash. ”

Zhuang Xiaosheng touched his lips, coughed dryly twice, and nodded heavily: "What the senior brother said is extremely important, how can a person who cultivates the Tao be a child and a child?"

Li Huanian was very uncomfortable with him, so he turned his head to look at the sacrificial platform.

Jin Xian'er's long sleeves are flying, beautiful eyes are looking forward to it, the bright light is floating, and the neon clothes are breaking into the shock. The rotating and elegant posture bloomed a strong flower in Li Huanian's eyes, and it recklessly exuded a fragrance that could not be dispersed in this life.

Jin Xiaosi didn't know when she came to him, and looked at Jin Xian'er with a shallow smile: "Sister is so beautiful like this." Sometimes I envy her, so beautiful, so holy. She is the pearl of her father's palm and the treasure of Qingping Town. I probably won't be able to be a proud girl like her in my life, and I have the expectations of my father. ”

Li Huanian looked at this face that was exactly the same as Jin Xian'er, and said seriously: "Don't always compare yourself with her, you are different from her, it is enough to have one Jin Xian'er in the world, you have your own benefits, try to be the kind of person you want to be, not her shadow." ”

At the end of the ceremony, the body of the three-tailed fox was burned to ashes in full view of everyone.

That night, the banquet guests dispersed, and Li Huanian was about to go back to the room, but was stopped by Jin Xian'er.

"Daochang Li, this time the fox demon is in chaos, thanks to Daochang Li's full surrender. ”

"Wherever it is, it's all the credit of the senior brother. Now that the evil is gone, it's time for me to go. Li Huanian smiled unnaturally, with mixed emotions in his eyes: "Miss Xian'er, I wish you all well in the future." ”

"Are you in such a hurry? Jin Xian'er was faint, her face was not angry or happy: "In a few days, it will be my birthday and Xiao Si's birthday, and she really wants you to stay." In addition, Father wants you to do a ritual for the dead townspeople and surpass them. Please, stay a little longer. ”

Sure enough, in the next few days, Master Jin arranged a lot of things for Li Huanian and Zhuang Xiaosheng. The practice of opening the altar, surpassing the souls of the dead, and even finding different places for the dead to rest one by one.

Seven days later, before the Jin sisters' birthday, a bloody case occurred.

The dead man was heartbroken again, as if the three-tailed demon fox had returned to his soul and done evil.
