Chapter 54: Lou Jingou
"This prince is not an emperor, nor is he an important minister of the court, so he has no right to give you an official. Shangguan Chuanyun said.
"Since the son entered the city, the lower officials found out, and personally checked, and found that the guards around the son are all elite people, and at first glance, they are either rich or expensive, thinking that they can let the son carry one or two, and the lower officials will be promoted to make a fortune. ”
"Huh. ”
Shangguan Chuanyun smiled, I don't know what this wild dog thinks, he actually imitates the court officials, and he imitates it in a similar way, it seems that he also understands reason, why are there rumors of killing and sucking the marrow, so he asked.
"I see that you have a moderate demeanor, and you are like a dog with a rough understanding of literature and ink, why do you suck people's brains and kill for food. ”
The dog officer quickly climbed to the ground and said.
"Ask the son to atone for his sins, and I also feel that it is wrong to kill and eat, but every time I observe the county officials going to the countryside to collect rent, they are all rummaging and looting when they enter the people's homes, and after the officials leave, the people scold them as dog officials who suck people's brains.
secretly thought that they were also officials after the dog became a sperm. Once the wolf demon came to the county seat to eat the county officials, and wanted to eat the people of the county, although the people of the county town beat and kicked when they were caught, but they were not ungrateful people in the next, so they immediately led a group of wild dogs to drive the wolf demon out of the city.
It was only later that the county seat was unmanaged, and burning, killing and looting were everywhere, and he became the official of the county seat, and subdued all the dogs, and only made such a big mistake by giving an order. ”
When Shangguan Chuanyun heard this, he also felt speechless for a while, but it was a good thing after all, this wild dog was not a fierce demon, if it could be restrained, maybe it would have any effect, so he asked.
"What is the order?"
"Hui Gongzi, in the next instructed the dogs to say, as long as you see people, you will suck people's brains, but I didn't expect the dogs to go out and see people to really suck people's brains, until later I didn't know, it turned out to be to grab people and lift the skull, absorb bone marrow, but then I wanted to remedy, but it was too late. ”
The wild dog demon lay on the ground and said with tears in the rain.
"I see. Shangguan Chuanyun nodded and said, although this wild dog demon is harmless, but the expression is inappropriate, but the dogs will also be wrong, the upper orders and the lower ones can't understand it, and the lower ones don't know the intentions of the above at all, so they become crooked monks chanting crooked scriptures, which led to the wild dog cannibalism incident, but you can't blame this dog demon entirely, looking at the wild dog lying on the ground, said.
"You get up first, although you are rude, but you know a lot of things, it is not easy to do this without continuing to cause trouble in the township, and it can't be all counted on your head. ”
"Thank you, Childe. The wild dog demon got up from the ground and wagged his tail and said.
Shangguan Chuanyun asked again.
"How did you become a demon?"
The wild dog said wagging his tail.
"In the next is a wild dog in the countryside, because of its ugly appearance, abandoned by the owner's family in the wilderness, and then wandered alone in the surrounding people to pick up food life, very envious of those dogs who have owners, they can dog power, so not majestic.
So I went to the crowd to find an owner to take me in, and I could be like them, but many people walked around me, and sometimes beat me with sticks.
I had no choice but to live in a garbage dump outside the city, picking up some leftover food that people had eaten, and I survived.
It's just that all the hair fell out later, and the body became thinner and thinner, but he was also energetic, so he slept in the garbage heap, and when he woke up, he found that he could become a person, and he wanted to go to the county seat to see.
I just saw that there was a wolf demon eating people, and I heard the old master say that I want to repay my kindness, so I want to repay my kindness, and I led the dogs to drive the wolf demon away. ”
Shangguan Chuanyun heard it, this dog demon is pitiful enough, but if the dog has hair falling out and is skinny, the reason why he can become a demon can be guessed, it should be the reason for the formation of dog treasure in the body, such as pigs forming pig litter, and cattle forming bezoars, all of which are based on this principle, and they are a kind of medicinal materials, which are very expensive and difficult to buy for 100 catties.
And this kind of dog that forms the dog treasure, the power is infinite, extremely fierce, even three or five strong men are not opponents, when taking the dog treasure this kind of thing, it is the owner to do it, the dog has complete trust in the owner, even if it knows that the owner wants to harm it, it will not resist, usually the dog treasure is taken out in this way.
It may be that this wild dog was found to have a dog treasure on his body, and he was chased and beaten, and those who know will definitely covet the dog treasure and want to kill the wild dog to seize the dog treasure, and those who don't know will be beaten out as a leper dog when they see that they are full of hair and skinny.
But there is no one to catch the wild dog without an owner, so it has become a climate after a long time, but Shangguan Chuanyun is strange, although the wild dog also knows that he knows how to repay his kindness, but he doesn't seem to have any kindness to him, so he asked.
"Although it is a person's duty to repay kindness, the people of the county are not malicious to you, so they beat and scold you, how can you say kindness?"
Wild dog thought for a moment and said.
"Childe doesn't know, in the lower sense of smell is sensitive, from the garbage dump outside the city to pick up the food, can smell which family is thrown, of which here is the most thrown, if not these food, in the next can not survive, listen to the old master said, the grace of life is greater than the sky, so in the next feeling that this is a kindness, if it is not for the black wolf ridge wolf is more powerful, in the next would have wanted to avenge the owner of this place. ”
Shangguan Chuanyun listened, I really didn't know what to say, looking at its golden dog's head, a pair of huge eyes were extremely bright, there was no trace of variegation, so pure that there was not even a little change, Shangguan Chuanyun knew that what this dog said was true, and with its insight, everything was true. Said with a sigh.
"What a man of loyalty. ”
Several guards and Jia Cheng, Jia Liang and others were all moved, but they didn't expect this to be the case, and they felt a little ashamed compared to this kobold monster.
Shangguan Chuanyun asked as he watched the wild dog wagging his tail at himself and looking at him with a pair of extremely clean eyes.
"I wonder what your plans are for the future?"
When the wild dog heard this, his ears stood up and jumped on the top of the official hat, and he hurriedly took two steps forward and wagged his tail vigorously, and said in front of Shangguan Chuanyun.
"I beg Gongzi to take him in, as long as Gongzi can help Zai Xia to destroy the wolf demon who killed the master of Black Wolf Mountain, I am willing to serve Gongzi as the master, and I will never betray him. ”
Shangguan Chuanyun did not answer immediately, from the form of the wild dog speak, he knew that this wild dog was also a loyal person, and from the beginning of the judgment, he knew that this wild dog also longed to have an owner, although he encountered many things in the later period, but he still did not resent anyone in his heart, looking at the wild dog looking at himself pitifully, he suddenly thought, maybe this is its nature, it is the way it pursues.
Then he nodded and said.
"Okay, but you're going to tell me why you made this choice?"
The wild dog wagged his tail excitedly and said.
"You were the first person to talk to me, and you didn't hit me as soon as we met, and no one has ever been so calm with me. I don't think a master like you will beat me. ”
"It's that simple?" Shangguan asked differently.
"Yes, yes, that's why. ”
Shangguan Chuanyun forcibly suppressed his uneasy mood, looked at the wild dog dangling his tail in front of him, and suddenly thought of a mage who had said a word before he finally died.
Animals are easy to overcome the difficulty of people, and it is better to be animals than people.
This mage learned the Luban lineage, taught several apprentices to be all deceitful and destroy the ancestors, and joined forces to snatch the mage's magic weapon, was seriously injured by the apprentices and escaped, but has been seriously injured, and finally only left his own dog to watch the door found and rescued the cave, the dog found food from the outside every day to keep the mage alive, but has been seriously injured and died, hurting the soul.
Before he died, he looked at the dog that accompanied him, said these two words, and then used his own cultivation to help the dog open up the spiritual aperture, and gave all the things to the dog.
Shangguan Chuanyun definitely did not doubt the loyalty of this wild dog, so he said.
"Do you have a name?"
"Wild dogs. The wild dog said cheerfully.
Shangguan Chuanyun shook his head, this can also be regarded as a name?
"Now that you have cultivated the human body, you can be regarded as a Dao being, but it is a bit inappropriate to use this name. ”
Looking at the wild dog wagging his tail and looking at himself, the golden clothes he was wearing seemed to be made of his own hair, which was also a kind of natal magic weapon, but he didn't expect to be scared, and the magic weapons refined with instinct were all for protection. Just said.
"You will be called Lou Jin in the future, and if you are a dog, you will be called Lou Jin Dog. ”
"It's the master, thank the master for giving the name Lou Jin. I will be called Lou Jin Dog from now on. ”
The wild dog said with his hands dancing, bowed down at once, and said.
"Lou Jin Dog visited his master, and after avenging the owner of this place, Lou Jin was willing to follow his master forever. ”
After Lou Jingou bowed down, Shangguan Chuanyun suddenly felt that the armillary sphere in the Anling platform moved, so he withdrew his mind and observed the armillary sphere, the armillary sphere was still the same, very slightly rotating, but in the twenty-eight Nakshatras, the second star in the west had a faint light.
"I see. The armillary sphere still has this effect. Shangguan pierced the clouds and said darkly.
The armillary sphere originally had the effect of measuring the celestial phenomena and monitoring luck, and was a microcosm of the entire heaven and earth, which corresponded to each other, and was also a manifestation of the unity of heaven and man.
Moreover, the life of this Lou Jin Dog just happened to have some characteristics of the second residence in the West, and it also happened to return to the heart, and in an instant, Lou Jin Dog and Shangguan Yun's luck were connected, so it was displayed on the armillary sphere.
The armillary sphere contains the sun and moon, the four poles, the five directions, and the stars are complete, and it should be the three talents of heaven, earth and man, so it is not surprising that this situation can occur.
This armillary sphere itself has the effect of regulating luck, secretly merging heaven and earth, I don't know what changes the gray air mass has caused to this armillary sphere, I don't know for the time being, only slowly study it later.
Shangguan Chuanyun suppressed his mood, opened his eyes, and saw Lou Jingou looking at him nervously, and seeing that he came back to his senses, Lou Jingou wagged his tail happily again.
This Black Wolf Ridge was originally going to go, and this time Lou Jingou also wanted to avenge the owner of this place, and his own certainty was greater, but this mess here could not be ignored, fortunately, it was not much damaged, so he opened his mouth and said to Lou Jingou.
"The people here are too prejudiced against you, and it is quite inconvenient for you to stay, what do you think?"
