In the middle of a cold night.

Inside the ruined temple.

The incense candle is dim and flickering.

The poor scholar held a candle in one hand and a yellowed paper in the other, standing quietly in place, looking dazed.

"What the hell is this?"

Tang Kong's cheeks twitched, and he only felt that the candle flame in his hand didn't seem to be very warm.

The night wind was still blowing, and he shivered.

I'm thinking about whether to blow out the candle.

But he heard a fluttering voice behind him, and said quietly: "Little brother, did you call someone to come?"

Tang Kong screamed, threw himself forward, and walked around to the back of the collapsed pillar before poking out half his head and looking in the direction of the voice.

I saw an extra girl in front of me, who seemed to be fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in light-colored clothes, with beautiful facial features and clear eyes, looking very innocent.

"You ......"

In the middle of the night, there was suddenly an extra girl, ghostly, and the night wind was howling, and it was extremely cold.

At this moment, Tang Kong's thoughts were almost blank, and he said in a trembling voice: "What the hell are you?"

The girl smiled and said, "I'm a fox fairy." ”

Tang Kong remembered the paper in his hand just now, looked at the incense candle that had fallen to the ground but was not extinguished, only to feel that his mouth was dry and he swallowed his saliva.

"That...... Xiaosheng has no money. ”

"Who wants the money?" the girl puffed out her mouth and said, "We just need some yang energy to reconcile with the cold mana of the fox fairy in the body and improve our cultivation." ”

"Yang Qi?" Tang Kong touched his waist and said, "That...... Although you are so good-looking and beautiful, it is really exciting, but Xiaosheng has always been conservative, or a boy, just thinking about getting married, spending candle nights in the cave room, and doing that thing with your own lady, let's just treat it as if we haven't seen it today, so let's stop it?"

"Don't you want me?" the girl flattened her mouth, very depressed.

"I want my life even more. Tang Kong muttered in his heart, felt a cold wind blowing, shrunk his neck, and said, "I think, let's just forget it, it's all a misunderstanding." ”

"No, I can't. The girl said angrily: "It's all written on the paper, you are not allowed to return it, and you are not allowed to regret it." ”

"How can there be forced to buy and sell?" Tang Kong wanted to cry without tears, and suddenly stepped on the incense candle with one foot, "I didn't see it at the time......"

"If you regret it, I'll kill you!" The girl shook her fist, waved it, and said, "Although our clan has an agreement with the Daomen Heavenly Master that we will not take the initiative to hurt people's lives, but if you break the agreement, you will die innocently!"

"Don't ...... You allow me to think about it......"

Tang Kong swallowed his saliva, his face full of confusion.

If you don't fulfill the agreement, you will be killed directly.

But if you follow the other party and are sucked into yang energy, it is estimated that there will be only a dry corpse left.

Even if the corpse is not dead, the scientific examination will not be completed tomorrow, and it will not be able to top the high school list, and it will be directly wiped out by the Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds Map.

In the current situation, it seems that no matter how you choose, it will be a dead end?

Otherwise, according to her, the peony flower died, and the ghost was also romantic, and before he died, he returned a wish, and this fox fairy looks so beautiful, although the face is immature, but it is more and more youthful, it is simply a blank of a stunning beauty.

"Have you thought about it?" the girl looked impatient.

"Lightly. Tang Kong's face was slightly red, his voice was extremely low, and he was very shy.

"Got it. The girl immediately rolled up her sleeves and was about to come forward.

"That...... Let's discuss it again, and when we absorb yang energy later, let's slow down, okay?" Tang Kong said, "I don't want to die in a hurry. ”

"Who is going to kill you?" The girl rolled her eyes and said: "We don't harm people in our clan, at most take half of the yang energy, and if you can't die, after tonight, you will be so recuperating, go back and make up for it, and most of it will recover in three or five months." ”

"Huh?"

Tang Kong was stunned and said, "Won't anyone die?"

The girl said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of demon are you us? We are serious fox fairies!"

Tang Kong almost cried, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this was not a serious fox fairy.

The girl continued: "Our clan has made an agreement with the Daomen Heavenly Master that it will not harm people's lives, and it will not take the initiative to absorb yang energy, only if you are willing to do so, you can only absorb yang energy. ”

When Tang Kong heard this, he muttered, "I said I didn't want to." ”

The girl looked angry and waved her hand.

A strong wind blows.

There was a snap.

The slabs on the ground cracked abruptly.

"You lit incense and candles, which is what you agreed on your own initiative, and if you don't want to, you will breach the contract, and I can kill you. ”

The girl looked angry and said: "There are more than 100 sisters in my clan, one rotation at a time, I have waited for seventeen years to wait for the first time, if you dare to break the contract, I will kill you." ”

"......Wait a minute! I seem to have a way to survive in my head just now, don't bother, let me think again. ”

Tang Kong took a deep breath, closed his eyes and thought, then opened his eyes, there was a slight difference in his eyes, and said, "You have more than a hundred and ten sisters?"

The girl nodded, answered, and then said vigilantly: "No returns!"

Tang Kong touched his face, and the thoughts in his heart quickly turned.

He felt that he was not good enough to learn, it was cold tonight, and he even had to get sick, and he had almost no hope of being at the top of the list, so he could only wait for death.

But at this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.

This is a chance to live!

"Girl, I have an idea. ”

Tang Kong Zhengse said: "Let's sum it up and ensure that your family's business is prosperous tonight, how about it?"

The girl was slightly surprised and said, "What do you mean?"

Tang Kong coughed and said, "That is to say, I have a way to allow you sisters to obtain yang energy tonight, but you have to let me go tonight." ”

Immediately, he thought of something, hurriedly stretched out his hand, and said, "Moreover, you have to promise me another condition." ”

The girl said angrily: "You still dare to put forward conditions." ”

Tang Kong gritted his teeth, calmed his face, and said: "Anyway, if you want to die, if you don't agree, I won't do it, and I will scatter in two!"

He stood behind the collapsed stone pillar, his body shivering and his feet shaking in the cold wind, but his face remained the same.

In the face of a fox demon, although Tang was panicked, his face was still as steady as an old dog.

——

There was a stalemate for a moment.

The girl suddenly said, "I'll discuss it with the clan." ”

Tang Kong breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I'm waiting for your good news." ”

The girl lowered her head, as if to drum up something.

After a while, I saw the girl raise her head and say, "The patriarch has agreed." ”

Tang Kong let out a long sigh of relief, and his whole body relaxed.

"But ......"

Hearing this, Tang Kong's newly relaxed body suddenly stiffened.

I only heard the girl say: "If you can't do it tonight, the patriarch will let me kill you directly!"

Tang Kong took a deep breath, pretended to be full of confidence, and said, "I can definitely do it, but I still need your token." ”

The girl was stunned and said, "Token?"

Tang Kong said: "It's this kind of incense candle, prepare one or two hundred for me." ”

The girl hesitated, then nodded, "This is not a problem. ”

Tang Kong scratched his head before he said, "That...... Now it's time to mention my conditions. ”

The girl snorted coldly: "You dare to put forward conditions before you have done it?"

Tang Kong touched the back of his head, coughed twice, and said, "It will definitely be done, but I have something to do, you must help me tonight, otherwise you will break up in two." ”

The girl hesitated, and then said, "What is it?"

Tang Kong approached and said mysteriously: "I have a scientific examination tomorrow, I remember where the chief examiner's mansion is, you can find a way to get him for me, and find the examination questions for tomorrow's imperial examination, can you do it?"

When the girl heard this, her complexion changed slightly, and she waved her hand and said: "Most of the examiners of the imperial examination are high-ranking officials of the third rank in the imperial court, and they have their own official prestige and luck, so they are not easy to be confused. And where the exam papers are located, there may be heavy guards, plus the mansions of the big officials, all pay attention to feng shui, there are stone lion unicorns in front of the door to suppress evil spirits, and there are treasure fan order flags on the door, gossip magic mirrors and other things......"

Tang Kong's brows furrowed and said, "You can't help it?"

If he couldn't steal the exam papers, the little ink in his stomach wouldn't be able to hit the top spot at all, and he would eventually be wiped out by the Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds Map.

"It's not impossible. ”

The girl hesitated: "My cultivation is insufficient, but if I can have grandma's treasures, maybe I can give it a try." ”

Tang Kong was immediately overjoyed and said, "Isn't this it?"

The girl shook her head and said, "Grandma's treasures will not be used easily. ”

This dead-eyed, Tang Kong took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress his fear, became indifferent, and said: "This is our previous agreement, if you want to break the contract, I can't do it." ”

The girl thought about it, but she was also a little embarrassed, so she had to say, "I'll ask for another instruction." ”

She immediately tinkered for a while before she raised her head and nodded, "Grandma agreed." ”

Tang Kong let out a long breath, patted his chest, and said, "Yes!"

The girl said, "But if you can't, our people will kill you!"

Tang Kong patted his shirt and said quite confidently: "It must be possible." ”

However, he remembered something, and said helplessly: "Then again, now that the city gate is closed, you have to send me into the city first." ”

The girl nodded and said, "This is a trivial matter, anyway, I want to help you go into the city to steal the exam papers." ”

When Tang Kong heard this, he said angrily: "How can the matter of a scholar be called stealing?"
