Chapter 135: The Ancient Courtyard Night Demon Appears
The quaint courtyard was in darkness with the western sunset, and there were insects singing softly on a plane tree outside the window, and the silver frost illuminated the courtyard like a lamp.
In the house, Merlin was already sleeping with a pillow in his arms, and he was happiest when he was full of food and drink.
Bai Lan didn't fall asleep, stood quietly in front of the window, slowly pushed open the window, and looked into the yard.
The pale whiteness of the moonlight and the darkness of the night merged into such a quiet courtyard, the ancient well stood quietly in the open courtyard, the grass shadow under the plane tree was sparse, and a cauliflower snake came out of the root of the wall, spitting snake letters and began to hunt at night.
Bai Lan noticed the little snake, and when he saw it filling his stomach for predation, he suddenly remembered that he had done this hundreds of years ago.
"Whew~"
There was a night breeze blowing slightly, and a faint cloud shadow drifted in the sky to cover the moonlight.
"Woo~Wang!"
"Woo~Wang!"
"Meow~"
"Ga ~ Ga Ga Quack ~"
"Goo~"
The cats, dogs, chickens and ducks in the post station all screamed, and the post station will also raise some domestic animals on weekdays, after all, it is essentially a restaurant for accommodation.
The horses that were standing and sleeping in the stables were also moving uneasily, and the people who were not asleep in the whole inn were trembling in fear, and at the same time waiting for some movement to come from the small courtyard.
Bai Lan stood in front of the window, took off the crown of his hair, three thousand green silks hung down, the night wind blew his long hair, a strand of hair blew in front of him and blinded him for a moment, stretched out his hand behind his ear, raised his head to look outside the courtyard, and said softly: "Since you came, you still don't show up?" ”
"Whew~"
The night wind was blowing, a demonic wind blew the golden bells in the house, the sycamore leaves fell, and a demonic qi flew into the courtyard but it was a Xuanhu, and there was a big fluffy tail shaking behind it.
The fox suddenly grinned in the night, let out a human laugh, and glanced at each other somewhere outside the courtyard.
"Poof~" came out, and someone outside the courtyard fell from the wall in shock.
The fox suddenly rolled out a puff of smoke, and in the hazy night light, the fox could be seen standing up, twisting his waist and body in the white smoke, like a feminine woman, and gradually transformed into a human form.
The white smoke dissipated, and a handsome Langjun stood in the courtyard, bowed down and bowed: "Hu Twelve Lang greets the prince!" ”
Bai Lan asked, "Have you brought the things?" ”
"Yes, Mr. Fu. God has ordered the little demon to be handed over to you personally, and the little demon does not dare to be reckless, and he has come all the way, and he does not dare to stop at all. Hu Shilang's narrow fox eyes smiled.
"Oh? Is it? Bai Lan raised his eyebrows, "But how can I smell the smell of rouge in Chuguan?" ”
"Ah, this, Fu Jun, is specially used by the little demon to cover up the demonic energy on his body." Hu Twelve Lang smiled.
"Then you're really interested enough, hide your fox tail next time." Bai Lan admonished him noncommittally, "Give it to me." ”
"Yes!"
Hu Shishilang took out a picture scroll from his arms, held it in both hands and sent it to the window.
Bai Lan took the scroll and nodded: "Yes, that ethereal stone has been melted in, and it can be regarded as a rare treasure."
Your skill of size and happiness has also grown considerably. ”
Hu Shilang said with a smile: "Thank you for your praise, I have been studying hard and growing a lot in the past few days when you are away." ”
When Bai Lan heard this, he looked at him carefully, Jing Yuan was abnormally thick, and sighed: "In the future, I will seduce less people, regardless of men and women."
In case you meet a master on that day and show your original form, I can't say that I will make a cloak out of your fox fur. ”
Hu Shishilang restrained a smile on his face and said seriously: "Yes, Shishilang knows." ”
"You must know that if you cultivate a group and take advantage of it, you will only harm yourself. In the future, there will be thunder and heavenly punishment in the nine heavens, but I will not condone you. Bai Lan admonished: "Let you become a Five Immortals, just thinking that you can earn a merit for yourself, and then you will have one more chance to survive in the tribulation." ”
"Yes, Twelve Lang will never be like this again." He chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly lowered his head to admit his mistake.
"In Yushan Mansion, everything can be normal?"
"Yufujun, with Mrs. Huang here, everything is as usual." He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's just that the Thousand Fish Lake in the south has recently frequently entered the territory of our Yushan Mansion along the dark river, and it is difficult to detect it mixed into the fish. Even the spirit ants that fly to the sky can't find out what it's like to be underwater, and most of our houses don't know how to water.
Only Fang Xiu can't look at so many river tunnels. ”
Bai Lan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, Qianyu Lake is thinking of making the first move?
The forces of the demon clan are not as peaceful as the human race thinks, in addition to surviving for each other's food, the demons will also compete for the treasure land of the spirit mountain, the treasure of heaven and earth, and even the vendetta of the world.
Unless there is a demon domain like the demon king, large-scale slaughter can be avoided. But the struggle between the demon clans, just like the war between human beings over land, population, and resources, will never go away.
The area of the Yushan Demon Mansion is indeed much larger than the ordinary Demon Mansion, after all, it was the territory of the three Demon Mansions before, among which there are more spiritual lands and elixirs, and it is normal for the fish demons in the Thousand Fish Lake to covet it.
"Just keep an eye on this, and when I get back to the mountain in a few months, let's agree on it." Bai Lan didn't make waves in his heart, and he wouldn't make a big move when he thought about it for a few months.
Moreover, there is a Shinto incarnation, a shrine that is comparable to the earth's quality, and there is Huang Xiao, and he will not say that he will be defeated.
The Hundred Gods Banquet seems to be just a banquet, but there are countless relationships behind it, and even the future fate of several nearby countries.
"Yes. But Lord Fu, I've noticed that there have been a lot of toads lately. Do you think it has anything to do with the Thousand Fish Lake? Hu Shishilang casually mentioned it.
But Bai Lan's heart sank, is the thousand-year-old beast tide coming soon? No wonder Thousand Fish Lake has other plans.
"It's okay, I think the snakes have eaten fewer toads this spring, so there may be more, so you can go back first."
"Yes, Fujun, the little demon retires!"
"Well, go ahead."
"Whew~"
The demon wind rose again, the sky saw the moon through the clouds, and the shadow of a fox flew across the sky under the full moon of the night, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Bai Lan's gaze retracted, turned around, looked at Merlin, who was breathing much softer, smiled and did not speak.
He spread out the scroll and spread it on the table next to the window, this painting was the White Snake Moon Picture, but in the future, it could only be called the Moon Picture Picture.
The Shinto incarnation used divine power to refine the ethereal spirit stone into the painting, and fused several kinds of spiritual wood to make this unique painting in the world transform into an immortal and become a spiritual treasure.
In addition, she also banned the painting demon Bai Su into the painting and refined it into a tool spirit, but she still retained her consciousness, which can be regarded as a trace of tolerance for the artifact spirit.
It is much better to become a conscious machine spirit than to disappear into heaven and earth, but only limited by freedom.
Due to the addition of heavenly treasures such as ethereal stones, the Moon Gazing Diagram has become a space magic weapon, which can trap the enemy, can be attacked in groups, and can be used in a phantom array, which is very useful.
Bai Lan opened the scroll, and the dim oil lamp illuminated the beauty of this ancient painting. The scroll itself is nearly zhang wide, but since it has become a magic weapon, it can naturally change the size at will.
In the painting, the bright moon hangs high, and the white snake on the top of the mountain looks at the moon, this is the time when he just became a demon hundreds of years ago, and he was skillfully painted by this painter named Wu Xuanzi. This painting condenses the artist's life's skills to create the magic weapon that he has today.
Bai Lan blew out the oil lamp, did not close the window, walked directly back to the house, spread his hair, lay down and fell asleep.
"Whew~"
After the third watch at night, the officials and officials who stayed up all night waiting to see the movement couldn't open their eyes with difficulty, and many of them had already fallen asleep.
The moonlight enters the house, and the courtyard is as clear as water.
The moonlight shines on the moon under the window, and the moon in the sky echoes the moon in the painting.
Merlin was awakened and pretended to be asleep for a long time or didn't sleep, he wondered in his heart, what is the origin of Childe? Is he a god, a man, or a demon?
He was shocked in his heart, but when he calmed down and thought about it, he didn't feel scared.
Merlin knew that Gongzi was very likely to be a demon, and the fox demon outside the window naturally could not be a god, he was afraid of demons, and the legend said that demons eat people and dig out their hearts, fierce and evil, and extremely terrifying.
However, when he thought that it was his son, he was only shocked, but he was not afraid.
After pondering for most of the night, Merlin finally figured out that no matter whether Childe is a god or a demon, he is Childe's scholar, and Childe has a life-saving grace for him, even if he wants his own life, what is there to be afraid of?
After thinking clearly, Merlin's heart was comfortable and smooth, and he was about to fall asleep as soon as he turned over.
But at this moment, he felt a sudden gust of cold wind blowing, which made him tremble.
Merlin looked back at the sleeping Bai Lan, and tiptoed out of bed, ready to close the window.
But as soon as he stood up, his eyes followed the window and saw the scene in the courtyard outside.
I saw that in the middle of the empty courtyard where the moon was shining like day, a human hand suddenly stretched out on the edge of the ancient well, and climbed out with great difficulty at the mouth of the well.
Another pale hand stretched out, both hands grabbed the edge of the well and rose a little, and the arm began to rise out, and a head stretched out of the well and twisted stiffly, unable to see the face, because the head was completely covered by the long black hair, even if there were no eyes, but her head turned to Merlin, as if the black hair was followed by a pair of terrible eyes staring at him.
Merlin only felt that his heart was about to stop beating, he was frightened, and he was so frightened that his whole body stiffened, and he even wanted to cry out but couldn't make a sound because he was too frightened.
This is a normal physiological phenomenon of human beings, when a person is extremely frightened, his body can't call at all, so it's not that they are stupid and don't run, but their physiological instincts make them unable to run and shout.
After the human head stretched out, followed by white strange clothes, trembling like the limbs of insects, crawled out of the well, and a humanoid object with black hair covering its face and white clothes walked towards Merlin like a zombie under the moonlit night.
At this moment, it seemed that Merlin was the only one awake in the world, and he would rather be scared and faint at this time, but he was extremely conscious, but his body fell backwards stiffly and fell to the ground.
He propped his hands on the ground behind his back, and looked up to see that his pale hands had reached the window, and a head full of black hair poked through the window, condescending to him.
Merlin was finally able to relieve his voice at this moment, and he wanted to open his mouth to shout, but he could only make a hoarse sound of "hoho~".
The fine strands of hair had already touched his body, and the pale ghost claws had already grabbed Merlin, and at this critical moment, Merlin's consciousness stagnated in extreme fear, as if the world was still, and his consciousness suddenly recalled the simple words that Bai Lan had taught him.
There are also words and sentences in the Haoran Sutra, which are slowly flowing in his heart.
"Heaven and earth have righteousness, and miscellaneous manifolds. The lower part is the river mountain, and the upper part is the sun star. It is said that it is Haoran, and it is full of gloom. ……”
Haoran's words made Mo Lin suddenly pluck up his courage, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "Haoran lasts forever, and the demons retreat!" ”
As soon as this sentence came out, it was like a flash of white light, and the Qingyun Qi above Mo Lin's head also instantly churned and rolled, turning into a book, the words were true, exuding a wide range of bright righteousness, and it actually made the ghost scream and disappear in an instant.
Merlin gasped, his heart beating violently, and he was sweating profusely, and he looked at the quiet and peaceful everything around him as if it were just a dream.
However, he lowered his head and lifted his shirt, and a dark purple palm print appeared on his chest.
When Mo Lin was in the aftermath of the catastrophe, he also recalled what Bai Lan said, "Reading a hundred volumes can raise Haoran." As soon as righteousness comes out, the demons will retreat. ”
"It turns out that reading is righteous and can really exorcise ghosts!"
After he said this, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
When Merlin fell, Bai Lan on the bed also opened his eyes, turned over and got up, looked at the young man who had passed out, sighed lightly and carried him to the bed and put him down, covering the thin quilt.
Then he picked up the picture scroll on the table and walked out of the house to the courtyard, looked at the quiet ancient well, and said lightly: "Demon, do you still not repent?"
If you can come out and confess your sins at this moment, I can spare your life! If not,......"
"Ho ho~"
Before the words fell, a pale ghost claw suddenly poked out of the well again, and there was a strange and strange sound.
The temperature in the courtyard became cold, and a head full of black hair poked out of the well again.
"Still coming, huh? Give me back! ”
Seeing that the other party was stubborn, Bai Lan swept away with his sleeves, and a light of Taiyin silence instantly knocked back the ghost head that had just emerged from the well.
There was a terrible scream from the bottom of the well, which made people feel terrified.
Bai Lan waited for a while, saw that there was no movement in the well, and sneered: "Are you pretending to be dead again?" You're smart, you loach spirit. ”
"Buzz ......"
The well water at the bottom of the well suddenly gushed out, as high as three feet at the mouth of the well, and a wave rose to support a little old man, who saluted Bai Lan with gratitude: "Little Lao'er is the god of this well, thank you Daxian for coming to the rescue and forcing away the ghost, so that the little old man was able to get out of trouble." ”
A cold light flashed in Bai Lan's eyes, and the cold light on his fingertips flashed to the shadow somewhere behind him, and suddenly a miserable scream came out again.
When the little old man saw this scene, he instantly pounced, turning into a huge monster like a snake and a loach, opening his mouth and spitting out a gray-yellow smoke.
Bai Lan's figure flashed, as if he teleported on the sky, his back was to the bright moon, his long hair was scattered behind him and swayed with the wind, and a long Xiao smashed down from the back of the monster like a giant pillar, and the demon screamed in pain and was knocked to the ground.
The whole post station trembled, the monsters on the ground wailed, the dust was flying, the sky was white with the moon on its back, and the long hair was fluttering.
Seeing this, Bai Lan smiled lightly: "It turns out that I still have lost my eyes, it is a green eel." ”
