Chapter 20: The White Fox Presents a Sword
Heavy rain, thunder.
The mountain road became extremely slippery, and on the rocky mountain, a group of people came to the Wutong Temple on the mountain in order to escape the rain.
Most of these people are family guards, armed with swords, protecting a man and a woman.
The man wore a scholarly robe sewn from silk, his face was delicate, and he looked young, and he supported a young girl in a white dress, and the two kept flirting with each other.
"Cousin, it's warm here, come in!"
The girl was delicate, and when she walked into the Wutong Temple, she was a little scared and a little disgusted, but when she saw the heavy rain outside, she still sat down with her cousin.
As for the guards, they could only stand guard in the torrential rain with hats, and no one could enter the temple, just because the girl's dress was wet and the curves were looming.
"Cousin, it's too gloomy here, I'm a little scared......"
The girl hugged her knees and said pitifully.
The scholar took the opportunity to hold her in his arms, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't complain so much about this sudden heavy rain.
He was originally a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam, passed through Xinyang County, watched the stars at night, and suddenly had the interest of climbing the mountain and watching the moon, but he didn't expect that on a good sunny day, it would suddenly rain heavily.
As for why he went to Beijing to take the exam, he had to bring a delicate cousin, it was naturally a lonely journey, and everyone who knew it understood.
Under the statue of the god, in the ancient temple.
The scholar's hand began to slowly become dishonest......
Just when the two of them were like glue, the guards outside the temple suddenly made a commotion, and the scholar frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”
He got up, tossed aside the censer that had been placed in front of the idol, and then lowered the table to block out his cousin's spring light.
At this time, the leader of the guards dared to come in, knelt down and said, "Young master, it's a white fox that has been injured. ”
The scholar was a little angry in his heart, and he dared to disturb his interest with such a trivial matter?
He was about to reprimand a few words, but he heard his cousin say excitedly: "White fox? Show me! ”
The scholar waved his hand, and the leader of the guards hurriedly went out, and after a while, he walked in with a white fox in his hand.
The moment she saw the white fox, the girl's eyes lit up, and even the scholar couldn't help but look sideways.
What a beautiful white fox!
His body was slender and well-proportioned, his hair was as white as snow, stained with water droplets, shivering, and his big blue eyes were full of pleading.
The most striking thing is that it has a dagger stuck in its hind legs, and blood is constantly dripping.
The girl's heart was broken, but she was not too dirty, so she hurriedly held the white fox in her arms and stroked its soft hair.
It's just that she didn't see it, and when the white fox saw the overturned incense burner on the ground, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.
The scholar was very interested in the ancient sword on its leg, and he came from a famous family, and he could see at a glance that this sword was extraordinary, and he was afraid that it was something that was old.
"Quick, pull the sword out for it, by the way, be careful not to hurt it."
Under the scholar's order, the leader of the guards carefully pulled out the ancient sword and gave the white fox a layer of gold sore medicine.
It's just that everyone didn't notice that at the moment when the sword was pulled out, the white fox showed a trace of excitement in his eyes, and slightly spit out the tip of his forked tongue.
The scholar wiped the sword clean, lit the candle flame, and looked at the fine texture like fish scales on it, and his eyes became more and more excited.
"Haha, Young Master Ben is really favored by God, this sword is very likely to be the fish intestine ancient sword among the top ten famous swords in the Spring and Autumn Period!"
"I heard that Your Majesty likes swords and good horses the most, and when I arrive in Chang'an, I will dedicate this sword to Your Majesty, which can be regarded as a white fox offering auspiciousness!"
However, just as he was excited, a voice sounded coldly.
"Your Excellency took my sword and dedicated it to Emperor Zhenguan, isn't it too brazen?"
The scholar was taken aback and scolded sharply: "Who is it?" ”
The next moment, a blue-robed figure appeared in the rain, his long hair was scattered, his robe was soaked, and he looked a little embarrassed, but his eyes were very bright.
The guards immediately blocked the priest from approaching.
Li Daoxuan looked at the guards in front of him, and then looked at the fish intestine sword in the scholar's hand, and said lightly: "Under Li Daoxuan, the person outside the party, this sword is used by me to subdue demons, and please return your property to its original owner." ”
The scholar sneered, stood in the temple and stared at Li Daoxuan, who was drenched in soup, and said disdainfully: "Ridiculous, you said it was yours, it was yours?" What are the credentials? ”
Li Daoxuan was just about to speak.
The scholar asked loudly again: "Little Taoist, let me ask you, you said that this sword was used by you to subdue demons, so what kind of demon did you descend?" ”
"The Basilisk."
As soon as the words ended, all the guards burst into laughter, and the scholar's eyes showed a hint of contempt.
Li Daoxuan frowned, not knowing why they were like this.
At this time, the girl hugged the white fox, pointed at Li Daoxuan and said: "You little Taoist priest can really talk big, and you are a snake demon, this is clearly a cute little white fox!" ”
Li Daoxuan's eyes froze, and he looked at the white fox in the air.
With just one glance, Li Daoxuan was sure that it was not a white fox, but the snake demon, because there was a trace of banter and hatred in its eyes.
This snake demon not only has dragon horns for the first time, but also has the art of change!
At this moment, Li Daoxuan suddenly felt that the origin of this snake demon was probably not simple, and then remembered that when he wanted to kill it before, it suddenly rained heavily on a sunny day, as if even God was helping him get out of trouble.
And it fled to Wutong Temple, where it happened to meet a group of people, so that it could turn into a white fox and pretend to be pitiful to seek refuge.
This snake demon ...... I'm afraid that there is some luck on my body.
The scholar shouted at Li Daoxuan: "Little Taoist, there are female dependents in this temple, it is inconvenient for others to come in again, you should leave quickly, otherwise you will ......."
As soon as he stretched out his hand, the guards immediately pulled out the swords at their waists, and for a while, the cold light flickered and was endless.
Li Daoxuan looked at the sword in front of him, and his eyes gradually became cold.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The heavy rain poured down, washing away Li Daoxuan's wooden hairpin, wetting his long hair, and dripping down his chin to the ground.
After a long time, a thunderbolt flashed, illuminating his eyes that were as cold as a sword.
That gaze made the scholar's heart chill.
"That's not a white fox, but a snake demon, since you don't listen to the advice, then the poor road will leave."
After saying that, Li Daoxuan turned around and slowly left everyone's sight.
The guards put their swords away.
"And, cowardice!"
"Originally, this bad weather made Lao Tzu angry, and he was trying to find someone to vent his anger, but he ran away?"
"Hehe, it's just a charlatan, a snake demon? It's a laughing death! ”
The guards were disdainful of the young Taoist priest just now, and they talked about it.
The girl hugged the white fox and said angrily: "Maybe that little Taoist priest injured Xuehua and wanted to exchange its hair for money, it is really a loss of conscience, and Tian is shameless!" ”
"Snowflakes?"
The girl hugged the white fox and said to the scholar: "Yes, this is the name I just gave it, is it good?" ”
"Yes, it's hairy like snow, and it's a very vivid name."
The white fox squinted,
The scholar also laughed, but he didn't know if it was an illusion, he always felt that the white fox looked at his cousin's eyes, a little lustful......
