Volume 1 National War Chapter 14 Encountering a Demon Fox in the Mountains
The autumn morning was exceptionally cool, and after a night's rest, everyone was full of energy, and under the leadership of General Zhao Xiongsheng, they passed through the side door that had just been opened and went to the outside of the pass.
Twenty miles outside the Yanhan Pass has belonged to the territory of the Jin Kingdom, for the sake of safety, Feng Ling and Wang Nu discussed, abandoned the main road into Hengshan, went south to Yanjin Ferry, and then entered the sea by Jin Xiangshui Road, landed in Jiaocheng of Qi State, and went to Zicheng, the capital of Qi. With his approval, the crowd turned from the main road to the mountain trail.
This trip was contrary to the route into Qin, although Feng Ling was familiar with the route, the mountain road was rugged, and the horses became a burden, so that the speed of the journey slowed down. Fortunately, the entourage and maids are all good hands selected by Qin Jun, and the skills of the princess are not bad, and it is quite easy to cross the mountains and mountains.
The road was stable, and after dark on the second day, they arrived at the foot of Tianmu Peak, and Feng Ling asked everyone to check out and camp under the peak. After the meal, Feng Ling instructed the second entourage to be guarded, and then went to the cave on the mountain alone on the pretext of investigation.
Entering the cave through the curtain of water, the scene was still as chaotic as before leaving. Walking to the altar, looking at the broken cave roof and the destroyed altar, Feng Ling suddenly lost, it seemed that Zhong Liji had never returned.
Feng Ling just wanted to leave, but suddenly felt something different in the dust on the ground. After taking out the fire fold and taking care of it, I saw several lines of extremely shallow footprints, human footprints, and animal footprints, all over the cave.
Following the footprints, he came to the fork cave where Zhong Liji lived, and the footprints went straight into the half-open hole of the stone door. Feng Ling pushed open the stone door and saw that the bedding on the couch was neat, the scriptures and teacups placed on the stone table were still the same, everything had not changed from when he left, only two more rows of strange footprints. Out of the cave, as the footprints entered the fork cave where Zhong Liji's father lived, other things were still the same, and there were also footprints.
The humanoid had small footprints and distinct toes, so it could be judged that the person who came was walking barefoot and was not very old. Looking through the cave and finding no trace, Feng Ling was puzzled, and secretly thought to himself, who is here?
After a closer look in the cave, I found that in addition to the vicinity of the water curtain, the two footprints were everywhere. Feng Ling came to the altar again, and saw that there were footprints on the broken roof of the cave, so he jumped out of the broken roof of the cave, and saw that the footprints around him were even more obvious. At this point, the glimmer of hope that I had disappeared in an instant. Obviously, the man did not enter through the water curtain, but came down from the top of the cave, and it must not be Zhong Liji.
Just as he was about to return to the cave, several rapid screams suddenly came from the direction of the camp at the foot of the mountain. Hearing this, Feng Ling hurriedly unfolded his body, swept a dozen times, and rushed towards the camp at a gallop, and after a while, he came to the front of the tent. I saw Li Yanchun and another Liu entourage holding a long sword, with hideous faces, and frantically attacked the two maids and servants of the king in no order. The maid was hit by a sword in the shoulder and calf, and she struggled to support herself, although the princess was not injured, she was also in a hurry, and she was in danger.
Seeing this, Feng Ling hurriedly stepped forward to rescue. I saw that his steps were mysterious, his figure flickered, and he jumped in front of Li Yanchun in an instant, and the two fingers of his left hand hit Li Yanchun's right wrist, and the long sword was immediately taken off. Feng Ling picked up the long sword with his right hand, and opened the long sword of Liu's entourage, instantly solving the danger of the second daughter. The next moment, Feng Ling's figure flashed again, came behind the two like smoke, changed his left hand into a palm, and dealt a blow to the back of each of the necks, the two of them shook a few times, and fainted to the ground.
After subduing the two entourage, Feng Ling took out the trauma medicine and handed it to the pale-faced maid, asking her to return to the account for the medicine, and then asked the frightened princess: "Your Highness is frightened by the lack of protection, but what is going on?" ”
The princess calmed down a little, and after returning the sword to the sheath, she said, "I don't know what's going on. After you left, the two of them were on patrol outside, and I and Ning Frost chatted in the tent. But a moment ago, there was a sudden noise outside the account, and a moment later, I heard the screams of the two, and I and Ning Shuang hurriedly raised our swords and went out of the tent to check. As soon as they got out of the tent, the two of them attacked us like crazy. In order to protect me, I was hit by two swords, and I screamed anxiously, and then you came. ”
Feng Ling frowned, just now the two of them were indeed completely insane, and they looked like crazy. After pondering for a while, he came to the side of the second entourage and carefully checked the physical condition of the two. The two of them are impetuous, their eyes are bloodshot, and their pupils are dilated. However, the complexion is normal, the meridians are stable, and there are no symptoms of poisoning. After a long examination, Feng Ling, who only knew a little about medical skills, could not find any conclusions, so he had to give up. Then he said to the princess: "Your Highness, please go back to the tent to rest, I am here to guard, and by the way, look at the two of them." ”
Seeing that he was guarding outside, knowing this person's ability, the princess suddenly felt at ease, and thanked Feng Ling: "It's so annoying for the young master." Then he went into the tent.
Feng Ling sat on the barren rocks a few feet next to the two of them, closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, concentrating and holding his breath, exploring the west with his ears instead of his eyes, and did not hear any changes for a long time. Just as he was about to get up, a strong wind suddenly hit him. Feng Ling opened his eyes and saw a white figure standing in front of him, with silver-green demonic eyes on his face. When Feng Ling saw those eyes, he suddenly felt dizzy and upset. The next moment, there was a "squeak" cry in his ears, and Feng Ling immediately showed madness, screaming and rushing towards the king's maiden's camp.
When the princess heard the sound and was about to leave the tent, she saw the wind rushing in, clamped the princess's arms with both hands, and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the maid Ning Shuang hurriedly got up and stepped forward and grabbed Feng Ling. Feng Ling pushed it casually, and the frost flew away, hitting the candlestick, unable to move. For a moment, the candle wax fell and rolled to the face of the princess, and the fire shone on the queen's face.
Feng Ling saw the face of the princess, immediately stopped moving, the madness in his eyes gradually receded, and soon regained his clarity, immediately let go of the princess, got up and said, "Your Highness has offended." After saying that, he flew out of the tent and ran towards the white figure that was still standing beside the barren rock.
When I came closer, I saw a fox girl with a graceful figure, slender cheeks, white fur, and bare jade feet standing in front of the barren rock. No longer looking at those silver-green eyes, Feng Ling shouted and asked, "Who are you who dare to come here and use the art of charm to harm us." ”
But the girl didn't answer, but smiled and laughed.
Seeing this, Feng Ling immediately stepped on the seven stars, and his hand grabbed the fox figure like a dragon's claw.
Seeing Feng Ling coming, the girl jumped high and stepped on Feng Ling's head with her jade feet. Feng Ling turned around and staggered, and grabbed the girl's jade foot again. The fox girl missed a blow, changed her shape in the air, her body spun and flew out, a few ups and downs, and disappeared into the night. Rao is Fengling's skill is so fast, and he can't catch up.
chased out dozens of feet, but there was no girl in sight, and Feng Ling had to return. When he came to the account, the chief inspector said to the princess who was watching the battle: "The offense is because of the woman's charm in the accident, and I hope Your Highness will forgive you." ”
The princess looked ashamed and asked softly: "Listening to the young master calling her a demon, is that strange woman a human or a demon?" ”
"It's clear below, but looking at its body shape and the magic it uses, most of them are not of my race."
The princess looked sad and said, "That monster has this secret technique, which is very difficult to prevent, what should we do?" ”
"Your Highness is not worried, I have fought with him in the lower part, and I see that its spiritual power is not very deep, I think it must have just taken human form, as long as I am careful to guard against its charm, I am not afraid of it. Moreover, a few days ago, my skills have improved greatly, and Fulong's sword skills are approaching completion. Wait for me to set up another defensive array, if it attacks again, it will definitely not be pleased. ”
When the princess heard this, she was calm and said, "Thank you so much, please take the trouble of the young master." ”
"Your Highness doesn't have to thank you for your duties."
After Feng Ling finished speaking, he took out a bundle of silver-white string and eight strange copper bells from his horse's back bag and began to arrange them. Feng Ling divided the string into several sections and placed them on the ground, tied them in eight directions with the tent as the center, and tied a copper bell in the middle of each section. Then tie the remaining string in the shape of a spider's web, covering a radius of more than 20 miles. After the net is knotted, the words are recited in the mouth, and the hands are connected to the seal. As Feng Ling cast the spell, he saw the net rope shining brightly, rising from the ground, reaching up to his waist, and hanging in the air. When the wind stopped sealing, the net rope suddenly disappeared and disappeared.
Seeing Xuanqi, the princess asked, "Young Master, why is this formation?" I see that the rope is slender, can you stop that monster? ”
"Your Highness, rest assured, this array is called the Ice and Fire Two-Level Net Array, which was made by my master and stored in my senior brother's place, and I just retrieved it. Its rope is made of silk spit out by the ice and fire god silkworm of Snow Dragon Mountain, and the divine weapon is difficult to break, and it has the power of two levels of ice and fire. As long as the demon enters the net, he will suffer from the freezing fire and will not be able to break free. ”
"It's so magical, I'm relieved."
"Your Highness, go back to your tent to rest, and if you hear the bell ringing, come and see me to subdue the demon." After saying that, he took the two attendants on the ground and went back to his tent. Seeing this, the princess also took care of herself.
When the night was ugly, there was a rapid bell and screams outside the tent, and the princess who changed into women's clothes went out of the tent with the frost lantern to check, and saw that Feng Ling was in front of the tent with both hands copying, and the silver net continued to tighten with the seal, wrapping a white figure. The white figure struggled in the net, screaming again and again. If you look closely, you can see that the frost and scorch marks on its body alternate, and its body shape is constantly changing between human and fox shapes. After a few moments, his voice was weak and his crying was intermittent.
After it was finalized, Feng Ling took the demon to the front of the princess, and the princess saw it clearly. It is about three feet long, snow-white throughout, teary eyes silver-green, and a small tail sandwiched between two large tails. The princess exclaimed, "It's really a fox demon." ”
The fox demon looked at the princess, and immediately cried incessantly, and shouted hoarsely: "Sister Zhongli save me, Sister Zhongli save me." ”
The princess was dazed and looked at Feng Ling. Feng Ling was also surprised when he heard this, and asked the fox demon, "Do you know Zhong Liji?" ”
The fox demon ignored Feng Ling and cried to the princess: "Sister doesn't know Xiao Ling'er? My sister saved me, but the bad guys wanted to harm me. ”
Feng Ling saw that his voice was full of tears, not like a fake, and knew that he knew Zhong Liji, so he relaxed the net rope a little and said to him: "Since you have an old relationship with Zhong Liji, I will not embarrass you." But you were injured by my formation, and you no longer took on a human form, and it is difficult to resolve with your cultivation, if you escape, you will suffer from this ice and fire day and night, and I will let you out. With that, he cast a spell to untie the net.
The demon fox came out of the net and couldn't stand, so he squatted on the ground and said to the princess with tears in her eyes: "Sister, where have you been?" I came to seek you after I took shape, but I did not see you. ”
"I'm not your Zhongli sister." Wang Nu pointed her finger at Feng Ling and said, "The young master knows your sister's condition, so you can ask him." ”
The fox demon looked at Feng Ling, and immediately turned back to Wang Nu and said, "Why doesn't my sister recognize me, I'm Xiao Ling'er." It's only been a few months, have you forgotten Xiao Ling'er? After speaking, he cried bitterly, struggling to get up, but he was injured and passed out.
