Nine Dead South Desolate Souls Return Chapter 144: Visiting the Demon
The black cat's fur was shiny and reflected in the sunlight, and it deftly jumped off the wall, and then deftly jumped over a row of wooden fences and into the depths of the alley.
At the other end of the alley, a teenage boy was bouncing with a fish basket, humming a little song in his mouth, the fish in the basket still flapping his tail, his cuffs half wet.
When the little boy pushed open the door of a house, the little black cat also ran through the alley and ran into the house.
The red clay of the house was very hard and black, the wooden door shook, and the little boy who had just stepped into the door turned around, and a young hand reached out and caught the leaping black cat, and the black cat was picked up without any resistance, but just spread his paws and patted the fish basket, and from time to time stretched out his tongue and licked it.
The little boy rubbed the black cat's fluffy ears and whined into his mouth.
He held the black cat in his arms as if he understood, and whined twice, and the little boy looked out with a happy face, and then opened the fish basket and threw a small fish with a silver white body to it, and the black cat picked up the fish and swooped into the depths of the house, and the old man's insults came from the depths of the house.
The boy poured the remaining fish from the basket into the water tank, and then whispered into the room, "There's someone outside." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a little girl of about seven or eight years old ran out excitedly and followed him, they were all dressed in earthy blue clothes, the color of the clothes had faded by half, as if covered with a layer of gray, but the little girl's face was still very clean.
"Shall I show you?" the little boy asked his sister.
The little girl hesitated for a moment, and let out a mumbled sound in her nose.
The little boy grabbed his sister's hand and ran out.
When they arrived, there were already many people in Liantian Town who were watching the excitement, and they stood in the middle of the road, and as soon as the two young immortal masters walked in, they greeted them with great enthusiasm.
The immortal mountain cultivator, the daily clouds and clouds, make this pair of young girls like moon clothes and clouds, with a temperament that is not close to fireworks.
The little boy watched from a distance, and saw that the young man was outstanding in style, the girl was delicate and beautiful, and the two of them may have come by stepping on the sword in the wind, and their snow-white clothes were spotless.
And the little girl beside him couldn't see it on tiptoe because she was too short, so the little boy hugged her on his shoulder, and the little girl covered her forehead with her hand, blocking the light, looking at the outsiders in the distance, and waved her hand excitedly, but I don't know if she was dumb, and she couldn't say a complete sentence.
Every year, the town is visited by an immortal master for a month, and the terrifying Halloween festival becomes the most peaceful scene because of their arrival.
Ning Changchang and Ning Xiaoling were surrounded by everyone in the center, and the enthusiastic townspeople sent a lot of things over, many of them were craftsmen, and those stonemasons, carpenters, and bricklayers took out their own handmade utensils to the immortal master, and then asked the immortal master to bless and ask for good luck.
Ning Xiaoling was a little shy about this enthusiastic scene, but as soon as she thought of her identity at the moment, she couldn't break the face of the Sword Heavenly Sect, so she raised her head and stood tall, learning from the master to hold some immortal shelves, and sometimes smiled and thanked her, the wind was light and light, and she was quite immortal.
After greeting the residents warmly, it is a matter of concern to all.
Who is the immortal master going to live in?
A carpenter invited to carve portraits of the two little immortal masters, claiming that he had carved statues for many immortal masters over the years, and he was skilled.
The stonemason stopped in front of the carpenter, saying that the wood is easy to decay and easy to beetle, and it is not as good as the stone in the sun and rain to last for a long time, and it is just right to carve a stone statue in a month.
There are also women from the lotus picking family who want to invite them to the lotus boat, and there are also shopkeepers of small teahouses who want to invite them over to drink tea.
Ning Xiaoling didn't want to live up to every enthusiasm, and it was difficult to make a decision, so she looked at her senior brother.
Ning Changjiu suddenly felt angry, raised his head, looked ahead across the crowd, and saw the young man with a little girl sitting on his shoulder.
He walked through the crowd.
"What's your name?" asked Ning Changjiu.
The little girl's eyes widened and she looked at him, her mouth was half open, she was not dumb, but the words she babbled could not be connected into a sentence.
It was the first time for the little boy to be so close to an immortal master with extraordinary bearing, he was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and hurriedly said, "This is my sister, called Xiaolian, huh...... My name is Qiusheng. ”
Ning Chang looked at them and asked, "Is your family convenient?"
The little boy named Qiusheng thought that he had misheard, stared at him for a while, and hurriedly said: "It's convenient, Immortal Master, wait, I'll go and clean up the house for you." ”
The onlookers were disappointed, thinking that it was not good to go somewhere, but they went to the old painter's house that became more and more unrequited the older they were.
......
......
Ning Changchang and Ning Xiaoling lived in Qiusheng's house, Qiusheng's family is not poor, on the contrary, it is quite solid in the town, it is an antique-like old house, there is a string of lanterns left by the New Year hanging at the door, the door knocker is wrapped with herbs tied to copper bells, two bamboos are planted in the yard, and the sound of rustling when the wind passes is like a rain.
Passing through the courtyard, there is a lonely small building at the back, a few gray-faced birds and birds have set up a nest on the upper floor, flying in and out, the door of the small building is closed, and the people inside seem to be indifferent to the arrival of the immortal master.
"Don't be surprised by the two immortal masters, since the death of my father, my grandfather has a strange temperament, and he has been playing with paintings in the building, and he has not seen guests for many years. Qiusheng explained.
The little girl who couldn't speak on the side nodded vigorously in approval.
Ning Xiaoling has a good eye for this little girl, and thinks that in addition to not being able to speak, she has a bit of what she looked like when she was young, huh...... The name also has small letters in it.
"Your grandfather is a painter?" asked Ning Changchang.
Qiusheng nodded and said: "Actually, that was also a thing of the past, grandpa's paintings were good in the past, not only in our town, but even many nobles in the city sent people to buy paintings, and saved a lot of money, but then grandpa was not a painter, claiming to be a painter, and never took the initiative to paint anything, picking up the pen is also copying some famous paintings of the past dynasties or his previous proud paintings." ”
Ning Chang looked at the few paintings hanging in the hall, he felt that the brushstrokes of this painting were somewhat familiar, maybe they were imitated by a famous artist, and this old man was even a little blue.
Although Ning Changjiu didn't know much about painting, he was sent by the senior sister to study with the old painter Zhang in the village for three months when he was in Dahe Town, and finally because his talent was really bad, he was kicked out of the house by the old painter and forced to leave the school.
This once made the senior sister wonder if the master had found the wrong apprentice.
Ning Xiaoling remembered their own work here, and immediately said solemnly: "Do you have any big monsters here that are harming one party?"
Qiusheng was stunned again, weighing in his heart how big a monster is a big monster, otherwise if only a little monster comes out, wouldn't it seem that our people in Liantian Town have never seen the world?
But those who can open up villages and towns in the barren mountains and mountains are not idle people, Ning Chang found when he entered the town for a long time, there is a layer of solid and hard soil around the town, and there are even hope buildings and bunkers around the soil layer, and there are young people pacing and patrolling with arrows, and ordinary monsters who enter the Xuan Realm really can't attack here.
"Yes, yes, yes. Qiusheng thought seriously for a while, scratched his head, and hesitated: "But only the little monsters do it, and the real big monsters don't eat people." ”
"Huh?" Ning Xiaoling was a little surprised: "There are still monsters that don't eat people?"
Qiusheng was thinking about how to explain, when there was a knock on the door behind him.
The door was hidden, and when he turned around, he could see an old man standing at the door with a cloth hat, he made a joke to Ning Changjiu and Ning Xiaoling, and then beckoned to Qiusheng and motioned him over.
Qiusheng explained as he walked over, "This is the town mayor. ”
The town mayor's grandfather pulled Qiusheng aside, seriously instructed something, and then said goodbye and left.
Ning Changchang and Ning Xiaoling returned the salute seriously.
Qiusheng walked quickly to Ning Changjiu's side and talked about Fang Cai Town
The elder gave him an instruction: "The master asked me to take you to recognize the monster." ”
"Recognize monsters?" Ning Xiaoling couldn't understand, and said, "We are originally demon slaying and eliminating demons, how can we not even know monsters?"
"No, no, no. Qiusheng hurriedly waved his hand and said: "There are several monsters living in this town, all of them are good monsters, and they live with us. ”
"Good monster......" Ning Xiaoling felt a little dizzy.
Ning Changjiu also felt novel, the coexistence of humans and demons was not a new thing, but it was indeed rare to have several monsters in a small town.
"I'm tired. Ning Chang said.
Between the words, a little black cat ran out of the yard, poked its head out timidly, looked at the pair, Qiusheng whistled at the black cat, and the kitten ran out with confidence, jumped on his shoulder at once, and meowed.
As if he could understand cat language, Qiusheng smiled and said, "It's asking you if you like to eat fish." ”
Although the folk said that the black cat represents ominous, Ning Xiaoling felt cute when she saw this kitten, she cautiously stretched out her hand and scratched its meat pad, she found that the black cat was very clean, there was no variegation and no fleas on the body, with innate cunning.
"Don't worry, I won't rob you of fish. Ning Xiaoling seriously guaranteed.
Qiusheng turned his head, looked at the sister who couldn't speak, and said, "You go and accompany grandpa, and I'll take my brothers and sisters to the town." ”
The corners of Xiaolian's mouth twitched downward, looking a little unhappy, and she opened her mouth and babbled.
Qiusheng sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll take you with me." ”
The corners of Xiaolian's mouth are upturned, and her cute little face is like a first lotus.
Ning Xiaoling looked at her and resisted the desire to reach out and pinch it.
So under the leadership of Qiusheng, they went to visit the monsters who were born and raised in this town or returned to Ansheng.
The first one to go was the carpenter's house, and the carpenter's monster looked strange, with a mouth like a duck and an ape-like body, standing in the middle of the wood carving, motionless, and also like a strange wood carving.
"It's called vigorous, it has a lot of strength, it can resist seven or eight pieces of wood in one go, and it only eats vegetarian food, not meat. Qiusheng introduced, and Xiaolian nodded appreciatively on the side.
Looking, he was a little dumbfounded and vigorously noticed the arrival of the immortal master, and the learner hugged a fist, looking serious, as if he was thanking the immortal master for his grace not to kill.
The second youkai to visit was a bunch of floating briquettes living in a riverside house where their daughter was sitting embroidery and smiling sweetly at them. And the briquettes were lying on the board frame, looking at the women's embroidery seriously, and they were not aware of the arrival of the immortal master, a harmless appearance of humans and animals.
Then they went to meet the rabbit spirit standing guard at the intersection, and he was walking down the street with a suit of armor made of green tiles, and he looked unprotected.
After Qiu Yan panted and took the immortal masters to visit more than a dozen monsters, they came to the big lotus pond behind the town, and the girl named Xiaolian looked at the lotus pond, her eyes were deep, and her cheeks were red, as if she was looking forward to it.
"This is the last one, but it lives in the lotus pond and is not raised by any family, so it may not be seen on weekdays. ”
Qiusheng explained, borrowed a leaf lotus boat, beckoned Ning Chang and them to get on the boat, he thought about it, although he knew that these two were immortals, he still advised: "This monster is a little scary, but it will never eat people, don't hurt it with a sword when the time comes." ”
