Chapter 15: Hunting Demons Under the Moon
The bright moonlight shines on the thick snow, and the Langhuan City is particularly bright.
Xuandaotong searched around the city and had already turned around several times.
In the morning, he heard from the bearded man that a person suddenly died in the city last night, saying that he died on the road in the middle of the night after eating wine in Xunxian Tower.
In such a snowy weather, it is not uncommon for a person to get drunk and freeze to death at night, but this person died a strange death, and when he was found, it seemed that the essence and blood of his body had been sucked dry, and he was a dried corpse.
The yamen pressed this matter and did not announce it, the beard was black and white, and the gossip was well-informed, so he told Xuan Daotong, so that Xuan Daotong had the ability to figure it out, if there were really two hits, he would make a lot of money with Xuan Daotong in the future.
Xuandao predicted that this matter must be done by demons, and during the day, he suddenly hit a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and there must be a demon when things go wrong!
If he can catch this monster, he will not only get the bounty of the yamen, but also earn money from the beard, and the Great Dao view in his dream can also be built, accept the worship of the four directions, and become famous from then on...... The more Xuandaotong thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and Harazi was about to flow, so he patted his chest and agreed.
So he asked Xuanmo to draw a lot of chicken blood charms and prepare to sell them to the merchants, and he carried the five-sided thunder runes that he had prepared long ago and painted with Xuanmo's blood. He carefully selected a few of his pile of magic breaking weapons and hung them around his waist, and took the time to sharpen his rusty ancestral demon catching sword.
Everything is ready, and Xuandao is in a hurry to catch demons.
Carrying a big sword on his back, he walked around the city a few times, but found nothing unusual, and finally squatted in a dark corner near the Xunxian Tower and waited for the opportunity.
When it was late at night, the shops in Langhuan City had been closed, and only Xunxian Tower was brightly lit and the drums were playing in the sky.
Xuan Daotong curled up in the corner and waited anxiously, being so hungry by the aroma of wine in the building that he felt uncomfortable, and scolded the demon ancestor for eighteen generations and a hundred times in his heart.
"Uncle, go slowly!" A drunk man staggered out of the Immortal Tower.
"Xian'er, why do you just drink. Uncle, I have money......"
The drunken man spat out drunken words, staggered a few steps, and suddenly smirked at the alley in the distance: "Xian'er, is that you?" Xian'er, I'm coming. ”
Xuan Daotong looked at the alley, and there seemed to be a slender woman in white beckoning to the drunk, and the white light flashed and disappeared.
The drunkard's eyes straightened, and the stupid dementia chased straight after him.
Xuan Daotong suddenly came to his senses, and chased after him with a big sword, but when he ran to the alley, he found that it was empty and there was nothing.
After turning a few more alleys, suddenly, a white light flashed in an abandoned dilapidated house in front of me.
Xuan Daotong tiptoed to hide in the dark, quietly looked through the hole in the broken wall, and saw that the stupid drunk man was with a woman in white, and the woman in white had her back to Xuan Daotong, and was pestering the drunk man to perform witchcraft!
Xuan Daotong saw it clearly, gently pulled out the sword, took out a five-way thunder rune from his arms, licked it with his tongue and stuck it on the sword, and found the right time to throw it at the woman in white with all his strength.
There was a sound of gold and stone, and the firelight burst out, and the white-clothed demon girl was gone. Only the drunk man fell to the ground, salivating and convulsing, "snorting, snorting", only breathing out but not in.
Xuan Daotong scolded secretly, "Damn, let the monster run away!" ”
Climb up the broken wall and jump into the broken house, regardless of the drunk, just go to pick up his sword, only to find a very small but extremely transparent red jade and some small red jade slag scattered next to the sword.
Xuan Daotong's eyes lit up like a treasure, picked up the red jade and put it in his arms, jumped over the wall and rushed back to the Shangjia compound.
Xuan Daotong pushed open the door of the firewood room with a happy face, only to see Xuan Mo looking at him with horror on his face, and he was actually holding an injured rabbit in his arms!
"Where's the rabbit? Stewed rabbit to eat tomorrow? Xuan Daotong asked casually, and received the various magic weapons on his body into the box.
Xuan Mo was wiping Chunsheng's wounds, but he didn't expect to be hit by the master, and he hugged Chunsheng tightly in fright, "Master, this is not for eating, it's ...... Konatsu ...... Please take care of me. ”
Xuan Daotong disagreed, picked up the teapot and drank happily, "The little cook's? His stuff wasn't stewed to eat. ”
"It's not stewed!" Xuanmo said urgently.
"Not stewed? That's roasted? Right! It's grilled, you haven't eaten rabbit meat yet, right? Bake until sizzling with oil, sprinkle with salt and Western Regions...... The gods are also drooling......" Xuan Daotong reveled in the fantasy of roasted rabbits.
"Master! This rabbit is not for food! Can't eat! Xuan Mo hugged Chunsheng so tightly that his face turned red in a hurry.
"Why don't you eat it? Raising eggs? Oh, peeling! How about making a rabbit skin glove for you? Xuan Daotong said and went to pull Chunsheng's rabbit ears.
Xuan Mo hurriedly hid aside with Chunsheng in his arms, "Master! This rabbit can't move! It's Natsu's baby pet! ”
Xuan Daotong felt very disappointed, "Xiao Xia, Xiao Xia, messing around with that wild boy all day long, do you still have your master in your eyes!" His rabbit is with you, but what about the others? ”
"He has something to do at home, and he will be back for two days."
"Who cooks when he's gone?"
"Me! Xiao Xia said that I was asked to work for him for the past two days, and the salary was also mine. ”
In a hurry, Xuan Mo's words became more and more handy.
As soon as he mentioned that he was rich, Xuan Daotong immediately smiled.
"Ahh Anyway, cooking is easy, just get cooked. You do it for him first. The money will come tomorrow for the teacher, and we will have a good day for the two of us! ”
Xuan Daotong said and teased the "little white rabbit" in Xuanmo's arms, and sighed, "Oh, the little rabbit is so cute, it looks fragrant, but it's a little small." ”
Xuan Mo hugged Chunsheng tightly and hid back, and said in horror: "You can't eat it!" ”
"Look scares you. What's wrong with your wrist? Xuan Daotong found that Xuan Mo's arm was injured and simply bandaged it.
"I won't hold the rabbit just now, let the rabbit bite, it's okay, just a small bite." Xuan Mo hurriedly explained.
"Stupid, be careful. A broken rabbit, not roasted to eat, when what a baby. You let it bite and bleed in vain, so you might as well draw more talismans for the teacher, it will come in handy today. When that wild boy comes back, he's going to have to lose money! ”
Xuan Daotong muttered in his mouth, how could he know that Xuan Mo's injury was made of his own blood and hair, sealing Chunsheng's wound and protecting Chunsheng's heart.
"Good apprentice, you will have money as a teacher soon, and I will catch you a few pairs of good gold creation medicine tomorrow. The teacher knows that you are a filial child, and in the future, we will build a big temple and let you be the host, and inherit the mantle of being the teacher......"
Xuan Daotong took off his shirt and threw it aside, picked up his shoes and threw them away, randomly sorted out the bedding on the straw bed, and fell asleep on it.
Xuan Mo hugged the "little white rabbit", wrapped in a quilt and curled up on the other side of the pyre to avoid the master, and he was careful not to close his eyes all night, for fear that the master would take his Xiao Xia away and eat it.
Early the next morning, Xuan Daotong casually picked up a few mouthfuls of Xuanmo's cooking, and then went to talk about business with the bearded man in a hurry.
After a while, he came out again, with his hands behind his back, and walked towards the door with a spring on his face, and before going out, he threw a sentence to Xuan Mo, "I will collect the merchant's money and buy forage." ”
Sure enough, the bearded man came to Xuanmo and gave him a lot of forage money to go to the market to buy a large amount of hay to feed the horses, as if he wanted to prepare for going far away.
There was a lot of forage, and it was urgent, so Xuan Mo held Chunsheng and it was inconvenient to work, so she settled Chunsheng in her own room. Thousands of instructions, you must avoid your master.
When it was almost noon after the busy work, Xuan Mo casually cooked some noodles for Shang Jia and rushed back to Chunsheng's room, but was stunned to find that the "little white rabbit" was gone!
The water and food on the table didn't move!
I searched all under the bed and under the table, but there was no trace! I ran to the kitchen and turned it upside down, but there was no! Not in the yard either!
Xuan Mo had an ominous premonition, and cold sweat flowed down......
As soon as I pushed open the door of the firewood room, the aroma of barbecue came to my face.
Xuan Daotong was leaning on the pyre, very satisfied, picking his teeth with a small firewood branch......
Seeing that the apprentice was coming, he got up and pulled Xuanmo into the firewood room, and beautifully stuffed an oiled paper bag with the aroma of barbecue into Xuanmo's hand.
"Good boy, I've worked hard for you today! Look what this is! ”
"What?" Xuan Mo stared at the oiled paper wrapped chestnut in his hand in a daze and asked.
"Roast bunny! After eating for the teacher, I left you a rabbit leg, and today we have a good tooth sacrifice. Eat in the house, and when you have eaten, collect the bones on the ground, and don't let the profiteers see it......"
