Chapter Seventy-One: Happiness Gives Birth to Sorrow
Barking......
The big black dog barked in the direction of a short figure by the wall with a thick rope.
Wangwang......
The long shadow of the moonlight dragging on the ground stopped, and the toad Taoist turned slightly sideways and raised his fingers.
"Shh ”
As a result, the big black dog whimpered twice, clamped his tail, ran back to the kennel, raised his head and looked at the toad turning the corner of the house aggrievedly, wanting to bark but not daring to bark.
Rustling rustling ......
The branches are swaying, the dense branches and leaves sweep across the eaves, and the toad Taoist caresses the wall bricks with a web, looking at the moonlight behind the shaking branches, and walks slowly.
"Old man, when he was not transformed, he fell in love with a human woman, kind and beautiful, but in comparison, other people were disgusting and ugly......"
The hoarse words were accompanied by the faint croaking of frogs, and he walked through the corner to the donkey shed behind the house.
"After ...... transformed, I found that I was quite interested in eating, whether it was a monster or a human, and it was delicious to cook. ”
"After the catastrophe, the old man felt something......
The toad man stopped at the entrance of the shed, and took off the gourd he was carrying behind him and put it on the ground as if he were talking to himself.
“....... Perhaps, people are the souls of all things, born intelligent, and if they are addicted to eating for a long time, they will be angry..... old man will end up in such a field as he is today. ”
The old donkey, humming and hissing, shook his bald tail and twisted his neck, and his cloudy eyes reflected the toad over there with a layer of purple gas.
In the air behind it, a huge reckless purple clam condensed.
The toad's eyes gathered red, and he looked at a pile of hay next to the donkey shed, smashed his mouth, and his saliva slurped loudly, overflowing the corners of his mouth, and sliding down with silk.
“....... But the demon eater, no longer in this list, I haven't opened meat for three years and seven months, I really miss it. ”
Suck and slip.
The saliva was sucked back again, and the toad man waved away the flicking old donkey's tail, walked to the haystack, and lifted his flippers.
"You two little demons, it's ridiculous to hide your head and tail in front of the old man. ”
The frog's webs spread wide and stretched out.
"Come out for me!"
The haystack flew to one side in clusters, and two foxes, one red and one white, were curled up in the depths of the haystack, and the red one was bloody at the end, and when he raised his long face, he shivered at the sight of the toad full of demonic energy.
The white fox also had injuries on his body, and raised his face: "Senior......"
"Hmph. ”
The toad walked over, the frog's mouth slowly opened, revealing small and dense sharp teeth, and the saliva kept sliding down, sucking it back, and swallowing saliva.
"Among the demons, there are no seniors and juniors, only eating and being eaten....... let the old man think about it, how to eat fox meat, one is steamed, the other is chopped and boiled, and some condiments are put to remove the smell of the fishy, and the two of them think the old man is satisfied with this arrangement?"
The sound of swallowing saliva was particularly clear, the two foxes trembled even more fiercely, the red fox had its tail broken, and its mana was almost difficult to maintain, leaving only the white fox demon to speak.
“...... Senior..... my sister...... Can ..... sister be exchanged for a life?"
Hearing this, the toad Daoist's mouth bent.
"The old man doesn't want you two....... but he can't do it. ”
Hearing the last two words, the red and white demons were full of apprehension, their furry ears were erected, and they looked nervously at the toad opposite, they would not lift each other weak because of each other's short body, and the Tao was not determined by physical appearance.
"But what......" The white fox was a little impatient and couldn't help but whisper.
The toad's eyes narrowed into a line, and he slowly stretched out a web.
"Hand over the demon pill to avoid death. ”
At the same time, a cloud of purple smoke spread out like a blanket, staining the scattered dry grass and sneering into ashes.
Pump.....
The red fox hissed in fear, struggling to get up and trying to escape, and on the side, the white fox with still mana suddenly opened a long kiss and bit his sister's back.
The moment the terrible fox screamed, the red fox struggled to roll towards the toad over there, and the white fox took the opportunity to ride the yin wind to the courtyard wall, not daring to stop, and jumped to the long street without looking back.
This series of changes, the toad Daoist seems to be expected.
"Shhh...... Woo....."
The red fox rolled in pain with grass clippings, as if she knew that her sister had abandoned her and fled, and bent her forelimbs to the toad in the form of a human, crying and begging for mercy.
"Look, between demons, there is no affection at all, your sister just left you and ran away, do you hate it in your heart?"
The toad Daoist slapped the fox twice on the head and said softly: "The demon pill is for the old man." ”
The demon pill is almost equal to the fate of the demon, and if you lose the demon pill, you can only be regarded as a spirit monster with intelligence, not to mention the decay of lifespan, and it is easy to be preyed upon by fierce beasts.
But right now, the red fox couldn't get out, trembling, opened his mouth, and a round bead floated out.
As soon as he exited, he was caught by the toad Taoist with a flipper, felt the demonic power from above, closed the toad's eyes, and issued a "Ah..... with satisfaction" A sigh.
Then, with a wave of the flipper.
"Let's go. ”
The red fox looked at the demon pill reluctantly, his long ears drooped down, and he limped and dragged half of his tail to look back from time to time, and gradually disappeared among the flowers and trees in the mansion.
The demonic aura dissipated, and the toad Taoist carefully breathed a sigh of relief, where was there that kind of hideous sharp teeth in his mouth.
"The old man's phantom spirit is no worse than that of a stupid apprentice, these two ignorant little demons actually believe it. ”
Spread the frog flippers, dragged the long tongue to his mouth excitedly, ran away with the demon pill, and went all the way back to the house, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets to hide the demon pill.
The toad Taoist leaned against the small door of the bookshelf compartment where the demon pill was hidden, Bai Huahua's belly rose and fell, looked left and right, and suddenly remembered a scene in the courtyard that day.
"No...... While they didn't come back, they left quickly. ”
turned around and took out the demon pill again, put a gourd on his back, turned over two beautiful little clothes from the small wardrobe that belonged to him, and packed them, and rushed to the courtyard gate while the busy servants in the courtyard were not paying attention.
........
The night was dark, and the sound of horses' hooves in the streets was coming in this direction.
At the open gate of the courtyard, there were servants carrying broken flower beds and wooden fences in and out, and when they heard the sound of horses' hooves, they looked at the end of the street, and the figure on horseback had already come.
It was Zuo Zhengyang who was chasing monsters.
He watched as several servants of the Zhou Mansion put some damaged things on the side of the street, turned back, and hurriedly dismounted and stepped onto the stone steps.
Reach out to block the courtyard door that is about to close.
.......
"Leave this place, wait for the old man to suck this demon pill, repair his injuries and come back, so as to be a teacher. ”
Several servants hurriedly walked in their footsteps, and at the base of one side of the wall, the toad Taoist pinched the demon pill and carried the gourd, and carefully touched it with the package, and the servants who came in were also talking.
"Everything, right?"
"Then close the door, you can go back to rest, it's really noisy tonight, and you have to get up early tomorrow......"
"Don't say anything, don't say anything, close the door quickly. ”
The courtyard door creaked and twisted, and when it slowly closed, the toad Dao sneered, and hurriedly jumped up the stone steps and rushed forward, flashing the servant's legs, looking at the gap that was gradually closing.
Oops......
raised his face, if the door was closed, how could the old man get out...... Alas, it was a last resort.
The toad sighed, raised the demon pill in the webbed, and was about to urge the demon power above, when he knocked those people unconscious, suddenly a voice came from outside.
"Wait!"
Zuo Zhengyang strode over, pushed on the door with one hand, and with a bang, where was the very difficult force that a few servants could block, the toad Daoist hurriedly collected his mana, leaned against the wall, and the door opened inward, and the huge door instantly enlarged at the bottom of his eyes.
"....... ....."
Bang!
The courtyard door touched the wall and stopped, but the servant at the door didn't notice it, but just looked at the figure standing outside the door, someone knew each other, and hurriedly saluted.
"The little one has seen the adult"
"Hmm. Zuo Zhengyang nodded, he probably guessed why he was moving some tattered things in the mansion, so he asked, "Lu Liangsheng is in the mansion now?"
The three servants looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Back to the general arrest, Lu Gongzi and Sun Daochang went to Zhang's house, my lord is still at home, do you want to come in?"
Zuo Zhengyang pondered for a moment, and didn't say much to these little guys, waving his hand.
"Then I won't go in, farewell!"
After speaking, he turned around and walked down the stone steps, turned over and got on the horse, shook the four long knives behind his back, and went straight to Zhang's mansion.
"Okay, it's okay now, close the door and go to bed!"
Seeing the figure on horseback disappear into the darkness, the three people in the door yawned a few times, and quickly closed the door, as if they were afraid that someone would come again, the door bolt was inserted, and a copper lock was buckled, and then they left with confidence.
But I didn't notice that on the wall corresponding to the door, a toad was sitting on the ground, his legs twitching slightly, and a frog webbing was covering his bulging belly.
Toad's eyes stared blankly, and the corners of his mouth twitched as the other empty frog flippers.
"The ....... demon pill of his mother has swallowed it......."
Mutter~~
The next moment, his stomach was fluttering, and he got up and ran wildly towards the flowers and plants.
At the same time, the maids and servants in Zhang's mansion all got up, stood in the corridor and under the eaves, looked nervously at a courtyard, and whispered to each other.
"Just ...... It was a fox demon....... and he also brought in a scholar and a Taoist priest. ”
"I don't know, I didn't see it, but the lord and the lady followed. ”
"You know the...... I listened to the steward and said that they were two masters in the Zhou Mansion, and the woman was ...... I don't know about the women, and neither do the people in charge. ”
"Hmph, that woman is beautiful and tight, and at first glance she is not a woman from a good family. ”
In the courtyard where everyone was talking, the lights of the wing room shone with several figures walking across the window lattice.
Zhang Dongming held his wife's hand tightly, looked nervously at the scholar and Taoist priest in front of his son's bed, and anxiously wanted to speak several times, but endured it.
The old wife next to her was staring at the woman standing at the end of the bed, with doubts in her eyes.
"The vixen is really that beautiful?"
When he subconsciously looked behind the other party's skirt, Lu Liangsheng's voice sounded.
"What is walking around in his body is Yang Yuan?"
The Taoist put down Zhang Liancheng's hand, retracted his gaze, looked at the fox demon at the end of the bed, and said in a low tone.
"With so many Yang Yuan, how many men's lives will be harmed?"
Zhang Dongming and his wife didn't know what they meant, so they hurriedly approached and arched their hands to look at the two: "Both, how is my son? What happened to Yang Yuan?"
"Yes, my old couple doesn't understand anything, ....... the end"
Without waiting for Mrs. Zhang to finish speaking, in the sight of the old couple, Rouge knelt down again.
"Rouge has never harmed other people, and I also asked the Taoist and Gongzi to find out, this Yang Yuan was stolen from the eldest sister and the second sister by the concubine, and I don't know how many people they have harmed...... I only know that it is the essence of a person, and the concubine wants to be honest that he is sick like this, and if he gives it, maybe he can get better......."
Over there, Zhang Dongming finally understood a little, if it wasn't for being pulled by his old wife, he would have rushed over.
"You haven't harmed anyone else, so you can catch my son alone!!"
He was also angry, and he forgot that the woman in front of him was a fox demon.
