The demon fox is haunted by the red dust, and it is mostly suffering
He didn't know how long he had been in the view, but he remembered that he had fought with that young man a total of 2,314 times, and remembered every sword mark on the ground, and now Xiao Shu is no longer the original teenager, he understands his own way, there is no terror between life and death, some are just choices, and strength is the key to your right to choose, as long as the choice is right, you can live.
What to do now?
Xiao Shu looked at the barren mass graves around him, and suddenly heard a hiss of "wow~" behind him, but when he turned around, he saw the crow returning to the nest, folding its wings, and stopping on the dead tree, staring at Xiao Shu with its tiny eyes, and kept making a piercing chirping.
Xiao Shu laughed at himself, slowly put his hand down, and collected the sword qi that was ready to be attacked, all these years of fighting made his spirit always like a taut string, and the slightest abnormal movement would make him react.
At this time, the sound of heavy footsteps startled Xiao Shu, and several figures from a distance walked towards here, some tall and some short, different men and women, some cried and shouted, and some scolded angrily.
"Don't cry! The old man trembled and leaned on crutches, and beside him stood two tall men, carrying a small platform made of bamboo, on which sat a boy carved in pink and jade, with big eyes flashing, clear eyes, seven or eight years old, smiling abruptly, when everyone was wiping tears, he was laughing to himself.
The farmer who followed him was silent and let the woman next to him pull and cry, but he was still indifferent, just patted her on the back gently, and couldn't say a word.
Seeing this, Xiao Shu couldn't help but be curious, stepped forward, and was just about to ask, but when these people saw him, they all retreated in horror, only the old man looked stunned, and hurriedly bowed to the ground, "Little Lao'er has no intention of seeing the true face of the fox fairy, and asks the fox fairy to forgive him." ”
When the farmer heard this, he hurriedly pulled the woman next to him to kneel, and the two Chinese characters also put down the bamboo platform, peeked at Xiao Shu a few times, and knelt down in the old man's embarrassing cough, and did not dare to raise his head, only the boy on the bamboo platform flashed his eyes and looked at Xiao Shu and giggled.
"What are the years and months today?" asked Xiao Shu.
"Qiyu Fox Immortal, today is the fourth day of the ninth month of the ninth year of the Yue calendar. The old man replied respectfully.
"I'm not a fox fairy, and you don't have to worship me, I'm just passing through here. Xiao Shu said indifferently, this matter has nothing to do with him, and he is too lazy to care.
When the old man heard this, his face turned red, and he hurriedly got up and said, "You kid, why didn't you say it earlier, teach him a lesson!"
The two men were full of anger, their knotted muscles seemed to be about to tear through their clothes, looking at the thin Xiao Shu in front of them, they were about to make a move, and suddenly felt a cold wind blowing on their faces, and the red liquid flowed into their mouths along their cheeks, and they stretched out their hands to wipe blood all over their bodies.
"Youkai! He's a youkai too!"
As soon as the old man saw this scene, he turned his head and ran, and he staggered when he didn't see it at all, and the two strong men were frightened and didn't dare to move, but when they saw the old man running, the fear in his heart was infinitely magnified, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he turned around and ran.
"Why don't you run?" Xiao Shu couldn't help but wonder when he saw that the woman and the farmer were still in place.
"Immortal, you must be an immortal, please save my child. The woman was not afraid of Xiao Shu at all, but as if she saw a life-saving straw, she stepped forward and wanted to hold Xiao Shu, lest he leave.
Xiao Shu frowned slightly, turned sideways to avoid the woman, and said softly, "This place is the realm of the imperial city of Yinzhou, with the national teacher Wang Yue in charge, what monster dares to do evil here?
"The immortals don't know, the national teacher has not shown up since two years ago, this fox fairy must have known about it, so he came here, and threatened to collect the annual dealer's income, forcing us to provide for children every year, if we don't follow, it will let the dealer have no harvest, we are located in the imperial city, the tax is quite heavy, and the fields are counted on all year round, if the harvest is worse, where can we live. The originally silent man finally opened his mouth.
"Why don't you find a Taoist priest to catch it, isn't it once and for all. ”
"I found it, and the next day I came here to collect the corpses, and the next night several people died in the village, and there was no choice but to make compromises, and pick a family every year to pay tribute...... "The more the woman spoke, the more sad she became.
"Please also ask the immortals to save us, I, Wang Lang, are kowtowing to the immortals here. The farmer bent down and bowed, regardless of Xiao Shu's reluctance, they only knew that if the person in front of them was unwilling to help, there was really no way.
Xiao Shu wanted to refuse, first he didn't know what this so-called fox fairy was, whether he could be the enemy still needs to be said, just look at those Taoist priests without a lifetime to know a thing or two, but when he saw the child who didn't know the situation and still laughed, but he couldn't open his mouth anymore, why should the child be innocent?
"Don't be in a hurry to beg me, and tell me, where is this fox fairy, what is his ability?" Xiao Shu had a plan in his heart, although he was confident, but if the opponent was a demon and a monster, he still lacked three points of confidence.
"Thank you immortals, we haven't seen this fox fairy, and we don't know where it is, but it will leave blood at the entrance of the village. The woman sobbed as she hugged the child on the bamboo platform.
"Bloodword?"
"When the frost falls, send a boy to the mass grave, and the coming year will be smooth. The farmer's eyes were full of hatred and helplessness.
"Well, you guys take the child back first, I want to see what this fox fairy looks like. Xiao Shu said.
"At this moment, there is still some time in the ion time, if the immortals don't dislike it, why don't you come to my house and eat some tea. When the woman saw that Xiao Shu really planned to take care of this matter, she was happy and worried.
Xiao Shu looked at the sky, the sun was about to set, although the sky was dark, but there were still many hours in the ion time, if he really waited here like this, he would really be a little stupid.
"That's fine, I'll come back later. ”
The three of them left this gloomy and barren mass grave together, Mo Yue walked for half an hour, only to see the curling smoke, this village is located between Yunxu Mountain and Yin Mountain, it is ridiculous, this immortal Wang Yue Dojo has a demon fox at the foot of the mountain, and it is not a joke for the world to spread out.
As soon as they entered the village, some villagers saw them and immediately fled in all directions, shouting loudly, "Youkai!
Wang Lang was confused for a while, and just as he was about to step forward to explain, more than a dozen villagers immediately surrounded him with sickles and iron hoes in their hands, led by the old man who had just fled in the wilderness.
"Wang Lang, I said that you are honest and dutiful, but I didn't expect to be in the company of this demon and bring it to the village, don't you want to cause trouble to us?"
"He Lao, you misunderstood......
"What did I misunderstand, this demon hurt Ah Hu without saying anything, he didn't even raise his hand, but he was ruthless in his ability, isn't he a demon or a fairy?"
For a while, the villagers shouted and scolded, although they were a little scared in their hearts, but in the end, how brave people are, and what old people take the lead, but also the grievances and anger that they usually endure have been vented out, and the insults are unbearable.
"It's not like this, it's not ......" Wang Lang's wife hugged the child and shook her head while crying, where did she want to get her kindness, but she was misunderstood like this.
Seeing this, Xiao Shu couldn't help frowning, condensed his qi on his fingertips, and swiped in front of him, and his qi suddenly tore the ground, leaving a long sword mark, separating the three of them from those villagers, and the originally noisy crowd was suddenly silent, and no one dared to make a sound.
"First, I am a human being, second, I am here to catch the fox fairy at the request of Wang Lang and his wife, not for you, but for that child, and third, I do not guarantee success. Xiao Shu simply made his intentions clear, he didn't care what these villagers thought, since he agreed, he did his best.
"This ......" He Lao was speechless for a while when he heard this.
The originally angry villagers, you look at me, I look at you, the emotions slowly converged, and then looked at Xiao Shu's expression was completely different from Fang Fang.
"Haha, another one to die, and I don't want money. ”
"Shut up for me, haven't you seen the ability of the immortals?"
"So what, those Taoist priests in the past also had some skills, what happened in the end, it wasn't the coffin I hit, otherwise I would have been ...... by wild dogs"
"The fox fairy blesses us with a year of good weather and abundant grains, do you want to be nosy?"
"Eh, you don't have children in your family, so you don't want children. ”
"Don't ...... if you don't"
The people around saw that Xiao Shu had made it clear and showed his ability, and they no longer dared to block it, and they chatted and dispersed, in the hearts of most people, Xiao Shu couldn't survive tomorrow at all, so why bother with him, only a few people had hope for Xiao Shu, and it was better than nothing.
Only He Lao, who took the lead just now, still did not leave, and he said with guilt, "Fang is the little old man who has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, offended the immortals, and looks at the immortals Haihan, this, I don't know what the immortals are called?"
"Xiao Shu, I'm not an immortal. ”
Wang Lang saw that Xiao Shu really had some ability, and he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, he really met a capable person by mistake, and he couldn't really subdue the fox fairy, and his own child could also avoid this unwarranted disaster, so he led the way home first.
He Lao suddenly interrupted, "Young Master Xiao, why don't you go to Xiao Lao'er's house, this is a major event for the whole village, how can you be lazy." ”
Wang Lang couldn't help but pause when he heard this, and looked back at Xiao Shu, but saw that Xiao Shu didn't pay attention to He Lao at all, and still followed him, watching He Lao eat deflated, and couldn't help but grin at the corner of his mouth, Wang secretly shook his head when he saw this, and gently bumped his elbow against his husband.
"Young Master Xiao, please come here. Wang Lang reacted immediately, nodded at He Lao to apologize, and walked towards his house with Xiao Shu.
