Chapter 168: The fox demon harms people
A young man with a white cloth towel wrapped around his head, holding an oil lamp with an extremely faint fire in his hand, leaned on the crack of the door and glanced out at the black girl. Seeing that the black girl was still holding a child in her arms, she reluctantly opened a small wooden door, allowing only one person to enter and exit.
The black girl squeezed in with the steamed buns first, and waited for the little Taoist priest to tie the carriage, hugged a bundle of straw specially used to feed the horse, and fed the horses before entering the inn.
As soon as the two of them entered the door of the inn, the young man with the oil lamp immediately closed the door again.
"It's just a long time coming, why don't you do business in this shop? It's a very cold day, and we're half frozen to death outside. ”
After the black girl deliberately complained, she stood in the hall of the inn, and took a breath, and she could still see the fog, which showed that the temperature in this hall was not much warmer than outside.
"Seeing that you are so cold here, there must be a room! ”
The young man with the oil lamp secretly looked at the two of them, saw that Fang Yuandao was wearing a Taoist uniform, and looked at it a few more times, and then said softly: "The room is there, but it is late at this time, and the wine and food are gone, but I can simply cook a bowl of noodles for the two guest officers." ”
Knowing that this place is very weird, the black girl didn't plan to embarrass this little guy, nodded, followed him and went to the backyard, the backyard is a house, the black girl and the little Taoist are next to each other, although the house is not warm, fortunately, the kang is hot.
The black girl put the steamed bun on the kang and asked directly, "Do you find anything strange here?"
The steamed bun was still tilting his neck and thinking, and the black skin that jumped out of the bamboo basket had already begun to squeak and squeak.
"What are you talking about?" asked the black girl, looking at the steamed bun with a chubby face.
But the steamed bun obviously didn't want to say it, so he shut up the black girl.
"If you don't want to say it, let's go back directly, I think our journey to find the blue crystal sand soil may not be too smooth, it is better to go home now." ”
When the steamed bun heard it, he was immediately anxious.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, as long as you don't ask, we'll leave tomorrow. ”
"Do you even say it? ”
Seeing the serious face of the black girl, the steamed bun immediately beared.
"Actually, it's this town that has been making trouble lately, but it's just a vixen who doesn't have a climate, and often comes to the town to steal chickens to eat, but it frightens these timid people in the town. ”
Just at this time, the little Taoist came to knock on the door, and the black girl let the little Taoist into the house, and said the words just now, and the two looked at each other, and at the same time remembered the incident on Chinese New Year's Eve.
After the black girl handed over the demon bell to the little Taoist, the little Taoist knew that it was not the black skin that was suppressed, and he was not interested in what kind of goblin Yin Kuang caught, but he couldn't stand the black girl and wanted to see the power of the demon bell, so the little Taoist priest tried it.
With this attempt, he released the goblins inside that had just been caught and had not yet been refined, and he escaped in the blink of an eye. To say that the little Taoist's master is really his own apprentice, the use of the demon bell has not been told to the little Taoist at all, so the little Taoist just wants to make up for his mistake There is no chance, and he directly let the goblin escape.
However, both of them had sharp eyes, and they both saw the little demon who escaped, which was a fox demon.
"Is it such a coincidence?"
As soon as the black girl spoke, she sighed as she sat on the kang and made steamed buns.
When it was over, he knew that as soon as he said this, his trip to find the blue crystal sand soil would be delayed.
Sure enough, the little Taoist priest slapped the table directly and said: "I can't ignore this matter, if it weren't for my mistake, this little demon wouldn't have escaped as a party to the disaster." ”
The steamed bun listened, sat on the clay kang and shook his head and sighed repeatedly.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the black girl's room, and the young man walked in with three bowls of noodles and a bowl of braised beef.
"Slow to use as a guest. ”
"You wait first. The black girl stopped someone, took out a tael of broken silver from her arms, put it on the table, looked into the young man's eyes, and asked softly: "I heard that Qingshui Town is a famous place in the past, but when I see it today, how is it different from the rumors?"
The young man glanced at the broken silver on the table, rolled his eyes twice, and finally silently put the silver into his sleeve, and lowered his voice as much as possible.
Just after the New Year, on the night of the third day of the Lunar New Year, a drunken man got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, and heard the chickens in his chicken pen keep crowing, so he took a closer look, but he was frightened. I saw a red fox with a human face, lying in his chicken pen and stealing chickens to eat.
When the red-faced fox saw that he had been discovered, he ran away. But things don't stop there, in the first few days, this red-faced fox stole chickens everywhere to eat, and then stealing chickens can no longer satisfy its appetite, just a few days ago, Qingshui Town died two upright and middle-aged men overnight, according to some experienced old people, this is the fox spirit sucked away the essence before dying.
When the young man said this, his body unconsciously shivered, hugged his shoulders and continued: "Five people have died recently, I heard that the fox spirit will go to wherever he sees light, so the two guest officers still finished eating noodles early, so quickly turn off the lights and go to sleep!"
Seeing that the young man was leaving, the black girl stopped again and asked, "Then you didn't invite anyone to collect the vixen?"
When the young man heard this, he glanced at the little Taoist priest mysteriously and said, "We invited a very famous Taoist master, but the Taoist chief didn't come, but his eldest apprentice came, but I don't know if I can subdue the fox spirit." ”
The brunette knew everything she wanted to know, and then let the guy in the store go.
"You have a solution?"
"This is called having money to make ghosts grind, so cultivating immortals is really useless except for longevity. The black girl felt the need to change the little Taoist priest's seemingly ingrained ideals, patted her money pocket, and said, "There is nothing to use in silver." ”
Fang Yuandao twisted his head. "Cheesy. ”
"What do you want to do? Do you want to catch that fox demon? I think it must have been injured in the demon bell, so he caught chickens everywhere to raise his wounds. ”
"Master once told us that once these demons have sucked the taste of people, they will have fallen into a harmful monster from then on, so they must not be tolerated. ”
The black girl pouted, his unruly master was right. "Your senior brother is already here, can you still take credit from him?"
The little Taoist priest sank his face solemnly and said, "Without the Demon Suppression Bell, my senior brother is definitely not the opponent of that fox demon." ”
At some point, the steamed buns had climbed from the kang to the stool next to the table, standing and struggling to eat the noodles in the bowl. The black girl had already sat down at this time, and decided to eat first before speaking.
Seeing this, the little Taoist priest's originally serious expression suddenly cracked, and he hurriedly sat down and ate the noodles in his bowl.
Whatever you do, you must eat first before you speak, otherwise you will have strength!
