Chapter 126: The Gluttonous Snake (2)
Ah Yu suddenly drank, the sound was like thunder, Qiu Fang was frightened, and before he even had to turn his brain, his body rushed out, and his right hand was raised, and a silver sword appeared in his hand, aiming at the black shadow and slashing down.
With his slash, the blade of the sword shot out a cold cold light, and a kind of pressure as thin as a cicada's wings was centered on the silver sword, rapidly spreading in all directions, enveloping Qiu Fang's body.
The black shadow was not afraid at all, and it was clear that he was going to come with a needle-to-wheat mang.
The night was thick, the sun and moon were dark, everything was shadowed and there was only one silhouette, only when the sword edge passed, sparks splashed everywhere, with the faint light, Qiu Fang took a fixed look, only to see a shining jewel-like amber pupil.
"No, these pupils are a little bigger."
Although Qiu Fang's sword slashed at the black shadow impartially, he felt that it didn't have much effect, so he hurriedly pulled away, retreated to the thick branches of a big tree, and said in a deep voice.
The scene just now was also fully seen by Ah Yu, she pondered for a moment, and slowly spoke: "I don't know spells, only brute force."
When Qiu Fang heard this, he felt even more confused, since he was not a so-called demon, but people who didn't know magic would not be able to carry such a sword to no avail, it was really strange.
Before Qiu Fang could guess the reason, the black shadow attacked again, and rushed towards Qiu Fang again, and faintly let out a low roar of "hiss".
Fortunately, with the blessing of Xuanxiao Nine Thunder Pupils, Qiu Fang's action speed is more than several times faster than at the beginning, although the black shadow attack is fast, but the young man is engrossed in the situation, if he wants to dodge it with ease, seeing the black shadow rushing forward, Qiu Fang knows that with his body as hard as iron, I am afraid that it will be difficult to distinguish the winner in a short time, that is, to follow the action just now, and once again burst out from the top of the dense forest.
"Smack!"
You don't have to think about it to know that the branch that Qiu Fang was standing on must have been shattered by brute force, but Qiu Fang didn't dare to slow down at all, he could sense that the black shadow did not give up the pursuit of him, and actually tore through the leaves at the top of the dense forest with amazing speed and strength.
A huge snake head shot out with the figure of the young man, the triangular snake head was opening its bloody mouth, the forked snake hyacinth quickly sucked and exhaled, making a continuous hissing sound, and a pair of amber pupils were also full of demonic nature, this face was like the snake demon depicted in ancient books, and it looked cold on Qiufang's back.
However, out of the dense forest, the moonlight without dark clouds sprinkled all over the sky, and the snake's head seemed to be quite uncomfortable, and turned around in mid-air, howled, and jumped back into the dense forest.
"Isn't this really a demon?" Qiu Fang fell to the ground and said in shock, revealing a look of disbelief.
"It's not." Ah Yu replied categorically, his tone revealing a little boredom, as if he was blaming Qiu Fang for how to mess around, obviously he had already said that he was not a demon, and he still bit it.
Qiu Fang frowned and thought for a while, put away the long sword in his hand, he could feel the breath of the snake head disappear again, presumably this time he really went away.
"I've seen it in books, and that's what they drew of the basilisk." The more Qiu Fang thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he still insisted on his own judgment.
"Have you ever seen a demon when you draw a picture?" Ah Yu said in a deep voice, this time, she said something that made Qiu Fang feel speechless.
"Reason is this reason, but except for humans, aren't they demons?" Qiu Fang did not deny Ah Yu's words, but looking at the world, I am afraid that the person who can give birth to a snake head will not be able to find one by digging ten feet into the ground, since it is not a human being, then there are not many options left, so it is not a demon who should have the blood of a demon.
"And strange beasts, you haven't seen them." Ah Yu continued.
"What is a strange beast?" Qiu Fang showed a puzzled face.
Qiu Fang couldn't see Ah Yu's face, but he could guess that Ah Yu was also thinking about what the strange beast was at this time.
After waiting for a long time, Ah Yu was willing to speak: "I have heard that it is rare in the world, but I don't know the details."
Ah Yu's words have always been short, as if cherishing words like gold, and saying one more word would kill her, but Qiu Fang is also used to this, as long as he can get useful information from it, it is enough.
"But it seems
It doesn't dare to come out of this forest." Qiu Fang clasped his hands in front of his chest, frowned slightly, pursed his lips, and stared intently at the dense forest in front of him.
There was probably a stream of water in the distance, and there was a low sound of running water, Qiu Fang listened for a while, and sighed again: "That's it, let's go get a fish to steam and roast tonight, I'm so hungry, I'm afraid I'll lose my strength to fight with that snake head again."
For the young man's decision, Ah Yu didn't want to say anything, she didn't have much interest in what the origin of this snake was, not to mention that she was in Qiu Fang's body, it would be difficult to recover her true body for a while, during this period, if Qiu Fang had an accident, she couldn't be alone, Qiu Fang Ruo was willing to stay honestly and not do these dangerous acts, it would save her a lot of worries.
The water is murmuring, the water falls on the rocks, and the crisp sound echoes in the valley, accompanied by a few frog calls that occasionally jump out of the aquatic plants, and the middle of the festival is like fairy music.
There is a wind in the valley passing through, stirring up the corners of the young man's clothes, for a cultivator, it is not difficult to catch a few fish in the clear stream, plus the young man has lived on Zhenming Mountain for 16 years, it is not an ascetic life of eating fasting and chanting Buddha, even if Yan Qingyun has always been a vegetarian, he is also extremely strict with Qiufang, but at this point, he did not order the young man to go with him, but deliberately asked Qiufang to occasionally get some meat.
In this way, the ability of Qiufang fishing is naturally far beyond ordinary people, a few ups and downs in the water, it will make a lot of money, and then walk quickly back to the hut, plunge into the kitchen, carefully disemboweling a few crucian carp, removing the internal organs one by one, and then smearing with ready-made condiments.
After doing this, he pulled the corner of his coat to wipe the sweat from his forehead, rested for a while, and then stuffed the bottom of the stove with chopped firewood, lit a fire charm, set up a large pot that was washed and cleaned, put water in the belly of the pot, put in the fish, and began to wait patiently.
He has never cooked a delicious dish for himself since he hit the mountain, but this skill has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and he has not forgotten the scene of the past two months, and the aroma wafting from the pot fills the whole kitchen, melodious, declaring that his craftsmanship has not regressed.
"What is this?"
Perhaps also attracted by this aroma, Ah Yu, who had not spoken for a long time, couldn't help but ask.
"Steamed crucian carp."
Qiu Fang said with a smile, when it came to the work in the kitchen, although he didn't have many tricks, they were all meticulous, and there was a bit of complacency in his words.
"Smell... It's a bit of a fragrance."
Seeing Ah Yu open his mouth to praise, Qiu Fang's smile became even stronger, and he said leisurely: "Although I am not as profound as you, I am afraid that my cooking skills are especially above you."
"I don't eat, so I don't cook."
Ah Yu's answer was a little unexpected, but it was also reasonable, which made Qiu Fang laugh dumbly, and then he sighed again: "If you have tasted the delicacies of the world, maybe you will have the desire to eat."
"Maybe." Ah Yu said in a low voice, and when he heard it in Qiufang, he was a little disappointed.
"Where's your father?"
"I don't know."
Qiu Fang was silent for a while, at this moment, he didn't feel irritated because Ah Yu still didn't know, but guessed that the other party's experience was probably somewhat similar to his own, after all, there was no shadow of his father and mother in his memory.
"Your dear... Demon, is it only your sister?" While the fish was not yet ripe, Qiu Fang patiently talked with Ah Yu.
People have a little bit of empathy, the closer the life experience, the closer the relationship will be, Qiu Fang is usually a gentle young Taoist priest, taking advantage of the fire in the stove, his delicate and handsome facial features are more soft.
"My sister is human." Ah Yu said briefly, his tone had already returned to normal.
When Qiu Fang heard this, he raised his eyebrows, this sentence surprised him a little, at first he only knew that Ah Yu had a sister, so he was not a biological sister.
"Then why did you become half-human and half-demon again?"
After Qiu Fang finished speaking, he remembered that he had asked this, and what he got at that time was Ah Yu's resistance, but to the boy's surprise, although Ah Yu was silent for a while, he did not reply sharply like last time, but said indifferently, "No
I know, for as long as I can remember, I've always had my sister by my side."
"In the world of mountains and rivers?"
"Yes, my sister will come to accompany me occasionally."
"Oh." Qiu Fang answered, but lowered his head, so that he and Ah Yu had no grudges in the past, and there was no enmity in the near future, and it must have been her sister who chased and killed her.
"Why did your sister kill me?" Qiu Fang asked suddenly.
This time, Ah Yu was stunned for a moment, she seemed to realize that she had said something that she shouldn't have said, and her tone became stern again: "No comment."
Qiu Fang shook his head stupidly when he heard this, although he wanted to know who Ah Yu's sister was, but he didn't want to tear his face with Ah Yu at this moment, after all, without Zhou Zong by his side, if Ah Yu really launched a surge, he would only die on the spot.
But he thought about it, Ah Yu was about the same age as himself, and her sister should be younger, so how could she have anything to do with him?
"Then can I ask, how old are you?" Qiu Fang stretched out his hand and pulled the firewood, thinking that this question should not touch the other party's scales.
"Fifteen."
"Fifteen, you're that good?"
Although the other party looked about the same age as himself, after all, it was a demon he had never met, and he didn't know if the demon's appearance would age more slowly than that of humans, so he was somewhat puzzled.
And Ah Yu's answer to him dispelled this doubt, it seems that the other party has only grown up in fifteen years, thinking of Ah Yu saying that she doesn't need to cultivate, the Tao will increase day by day, and the things before and after are mixed together, which makes Qiu Fang feel more and more surprised.
"I don't know." Ah Yu still said the same old saying, Qiu Fang shook his head with a wry smile when he heard it, and turned his gaze to the pot.
These fish are finally good.
