Chapter 308: The Tanuki patrols the city late at night
Upper capital, southeast.
The fangding of Huairenfang yawned, pinched the gong, rang weakly, and shrunk his neck and shouted: "Three watches, the time is full." ”
When he finished shouting these words, a black shadow suddenly passed by him, and he trembled with fright.
Since he is doing the work of watching, he is naturally much bolder.
looked in the direction of the black shadow, but saw a tanuki squatting on the eaves on the right, staring at him with dark green eyes.
Fang Ding immediately shuddered, and then cursed: "What a brute, dare to scare your grandfather, see if I can't kill you!"
After saying that, he squatted on the ground, grabbed a ball of snow on the ground by the light of the lantern, turned it into a snowball, and then waved his hand and smacked it.
I don't know if it was because the strength of the fangding was not enough, or the accuracy was too poor, the snowball smashed on the eaves at the tanuki's feet and exploded into a ball of snowflakes.
The tanuki was still squatting on the eaves, not moving, but its dark green eyes narrowed slightly.
Seeing that it didn't hit, Fang Ding didn't care, scolded a bad word, turned around and continued to walk elsewhere.
However, when he turned around, the tanuki crouching on the eaves stuck out its tongue, licked its mouth, and stood up slightly. Just as the tanuki was about to pounce, its slender body suddenly stopped, and then turned its head to look to the side.
Immediately after, the tanuki exploded with its fur all over its body, let out a scream, and quickly rushed out.
Before the tanuki could jump out of the roof, a silver firefly flew in front of the tanuki, and then collided with the tanuki's rapidly poked out paws.
The fireflies keep flying, and the tanuki jumps non-stop.
In the blink of an eye, a tanuki appeared on the roof, jumping around, fluttering fireflies.
This scene is very interesting to watch, and there is a kind of eerie beauty.
However, only the tanuki in it knows how terrifying this firefly is, and if you are not careful, you will most likely be penetrated by the firefly and die on the spot.
Suddenly, the fireflies flew out at great speed, drew a huge arc, and stabbed hard at the top of the tanuki's head, but was stopped by its sharp fingers.
But this ferocious force directly lifted the tanuki out and fell into the alley behind the house.
As soon as the tanuki Pu landed, he immediately bounced up and prepared to leave, but suddenly froze.
At the exits at both ends of the alley, at some point, two people were already standing, blocking the alley. In the sky above the alley, the silver fireflies kept circling and flying.
The tanuki first looked at the figure of the hat directly opposite, and then at the rickety figure behind him. As his head turned, his eyes swept over the stone wall next to him for a moment.
"Don't think about it, these stone walls have been added, and it's unlikely that you want to break through the walls and escape, don't you believe it? ”
An old teasing voice rang out from behind the tanuki.
So late at night, two people surrounded a raccoon cat, such a scene seemed a little weird no matter how you looked at it, but what was even more weird was that after this sentence was finished, the tanuki actually spoke.
"Old turtle, we have no grievances and no enemies, the well water does not interfere with the river water, what are you stopping me for?"
The voice was cold and empty, obviously a woman.
The hunchbacked figure snorted and said in surprise: "No injustice and no hatred?" Have you forgotten what you did last time, do you need me to recall it for you?!"
A gust of wind rose out of thin air in the alley, and the hair on the tanuki's body danced like flames.
The tanuki's eyes narrowed, and its body bowed slightly.
"You dug up those two formation bases, take them out, you can spare you from dying. ”
It was the figure of the hat who said this.
Compared with the hunchbacked figure, this figure wearing a hat is more feared by the tanuki, after all, the same demon spirit thing, it may not be so fast to divide life and death.
But it's not the same as sword cultivation against the enemy, if you are not careful, you will die.
Last time, she learned and failed miserably.
The tanuki squinted and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, although we have a holiday, but you also cut off a lot of my cultivation, which can be regarded as a rip-off!"
The figure of the hat had not yet spoken, but the hunchbacked figure over there laughed, "Sure enough, if you have a lot of life, you don't take your life as your life, and you are still playing tricks at this time, and you are clever, if it wasn't for my young master's hand, you would have lost one or two lives a long time ago." If I were you, the most important thing to do at this time would be to kneel and kowtow and beg for mercy. ”
The tanuki scoffed, "Shrunken turtle!"
The hunchbacked figure didn't get angry, just took a step forward, but he looked up in an instant.
On the right side of the alley, on the corner of the roof, a figure stood on it.
The arm of the figure of the hat shook, and the flying fireflies in the air immediately flew over and rushed into the sleeves.
"It turned out that the cat owner was here, no wonder he spoke so arrogantly. ”
The hunchbacked figure retracted his feet and shrugged his nose, "A poor sour smell, heavier than the fishy smell on this raccoon." Hey, old boy, you're here to give him a funeral?"
The man on the roof didn't speak, but raised his right hand and grabbed it, and the tanuki on the ground was uncontrollably pulled up out of thin air and flew into the man's hands.
The wide palm was held around the tanuki's neck.
The man looked into the tanuki's dark green eyes and said softly, "It seems that you are dead and unchangeable, so I don't need to talk about any benevolence and righteousness." ”
Feeling the terrifying pressure on his neck, the tanuki frantically flicked, "The surname is Chen! I didn't break the rules, why do you want to kill me!"
The hand that was oppressing the huge stopped for a moment, and then the whole arm shook, and the tanuki in the palm was instantly elongated, revealing the figure of a woman.
And this hand is still pinched on the woman's slender neck.
This person looked at the woman's face and said calmly: "Didn't break the rules? If it wasn't for the two of them just now, that Fang Ding would still be alive?" I only said that you can get two incense objects every year without losing a number of qi, but I didn't say that you can eat people, let alone let you dig up the base of the array. ”
The woman's expression was very painful, and she screamed: "That husband is not dead! Even if I can't kill someone! Besides, who knows what the things that are thrown in the grass and rocks at will, you scholars have a saying, those who don't know are not guilty!"
The man was unmoved, his right hand was raised, and a brush appeared in his hand, as if he wanted to write or paint.
Seeing this scene, the woman's eyes were extremely frightened, and even showed a sense of despair.
"Mr. Chen, slow down!"
The figure of the hat opened his mouth to stop: "Knowing the distance with the near, and knowing ten thousand with one." If he doesn't steal, it doesn't mean that no one will steal in the future, killing her is very simple, the question is how to put an end to this phenomenon in the future. ”
Chen Songfeng stopped with the brush in his hand, "What do you think?"
The figure of the hat held the hilt of the sword at his waist with his left hand, and the green clothes on his body immediately faded, revealing a slightly pale face.
"Shangdu City is very large, and it can't be maintained by one person alone, not to mention, in the future, Shangdu City really needs a good person to kill. ”
Chen Songfeng's gaze fell on the woman's face again.
In the midst of despair, there was hope, and her eyes were full of supplication.
Chen Songfeng thought for a while, "Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped." ”
The woman immediately shouted, "I am willing to be punished!"
Unexpectedly, the woman agreed so quickly, Chen Songfeng was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, and the tip of the pen in his right hand lit up a little light, and quickly clicked on the woman's forehead.
In an instant, the sizzle of incense candles lit on the flesh sounded, and the woman suddenly let out a miserable scream.
The rickety figure standing below shuddered and glanced at the woman with pity.
When the brush is released, there is a little more red mole at the center of the woman's eyebrows, which sets off the woman's cold face, and there is a touch of beauty, but the woman's eyes at this time are a little weak.
Chen Songfeng let go of his hand and threw the woman down, without any pity.
Readers, when they are really affectionate and ruthless.
The woman fell to her knees on the ground, gasping for breath.
Ning Baifeng thought for a while, suddenly moved his right hand, took out two things, and then flicked his fingers, and one flew towards Chen Songfeng on the roof
, one fell in front of the woman's eyes.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're supposed to be called an embroidered fox. I know you're not convinced, so let's make a deal. This pebble is enough to cover the aura you need for five years of cultivation, and you don't have to steal the incense objects of the people in the city. The demon pill in Chen Songfeng's hand can make you grow your cultivation, as long as you are willing to patrol the city of Shangdu in the future, ten years later, the demon pill in Chen Songfeng's hand will be yours. ”
The woman looked at the shiny pebble on the ground, her pupils shrank, and when he heard about the demon pill, she looked up at Chen Songfeng above.
A thumb-sized demon pill was being pinched by the Confucian scholar with two fingers.
Looking at the demon pill, the woman's eyes showed longing and greed.
Such a thing is a treasure that she cannot find, "Good!
The voice is firm and does not hesitate.
Chen Songfeng slowly put away the demon pill, looked at the woman below who reached out and grabbed the pebbles, and sighed softly, "Evil animal, don't you spit things out?!"
The woman knew that he was not talking about the pebble, and immediately opened her mouth, her face was slightly red, and she spat out two things, which fell on the snow.
It was an incense burner and an oil lamp.
Yuan Tai stepped to the woman's side, stretched out his hand and grabbed it, two things flew into his hands, he looked at it carefully, raised his eyebrows and said: "Even the young master's sword intent dares to swallow, are you really not afraid of death?!"
The woman wiped her mouth and did not speak.
Ning Baifeng raised his hand.
Yuan Tai put away his things and walked over.
Chen Songfeng, who was standing on the roof, looked at the young man, "I'm sorry for you." ”
Ning Baifeng's face turned slightly pale, obviously because of the excessive consumption, and said softly: "As long as Mr. Chen doesn't make trouble for me anymore." ”
Chen Songfeng nodded and bowed.
Ning Baifeng laughed, waved his hand, and turned to leave.
After a few moments, the alley was silent again, with no one in sight, as if nothing had existed just now.
In the distance, the sound of the husband was still the same.
......
......
A stone pile in the corner of a private courtyard.
Yuan Tai put down an oil lamp.
Ning Baifeng pulled out Su Wen and slashed his sword on the oil lamp.
After the sword was collected, a trace of silver shone hovered over the oil lamp, like a silver wick.
Yuan Tai quickly pinched the seal, lit the oil lamp in the silver mang, like an illusion, melted into the pile of stones in the corner of the wall, and disappeared.
After doing this, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Then the two of them jumped out of the courtyard and landed on the street outside.
Yuan Tai wiped his forehead and said with a smile: "Young master, the old slave has a dry mouth......
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Ning Baifeng immediately flipped his hand, took out a mustard seed bag in his palm, and then handed it over, "There is wine in it, and there are also things I left for you, save some." ”
Yuantai immediately reached out and took it, without looking at it, directly took out a small wine jar, and then put the mustard seed bag into his arms.
He pinched the wine jar and took a sip, and said with a smile: "The young master still understands me." But then again, the previous pen was a bit too wasteful. ”
Ning Baifeng knew that he was referring to the matter of sending pebbles and demon pills to embroidered raccoons.
Yuan Tai said as he walked: "That cat is not a loyal master at first glance, and the old slave thinks it is not worth it." ”
Ning Baifeng also took off the wine jug on his waist, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Cats have never been loyal, whoever gives them food will follow them." If the master can't provide food, he will turn around and leave, and he will not show mercy, so I don't need its loyalty, as long as I can use food to tempt it to behave according to the rules, it is already very cost-effective. After all, no matter how you say it, it's also a shapeshifting spirit. ”
Yuan Tai thought about it and felt that there was some truth, so he didn't say more.
A shape-shifting demon spirit can easily suppress most cultivators and let them patrol the city, which is indeed a good deal.
Then, the two of them, who were drinking, chatted and walked back.
