Chapter 10 The bamboo shadow is sparse, where the gods fly
"It's coming!
"It's just that the talisman I worked so hard to make, but not a single one has yet been put on the market, and this troublesome little girl has come to the door...... Alas!"
This hapless stall owner is now complaining bitterly. However, the so-called harmony makes money, and he knows the truth well, and at the moment, he is not angry, but he just lowered his face and said kindly to this girl:
"This little sister, I'm selling talismans, suppressing demons and driving away evil spirits, avoiding ghosts and settling down, it's very effective! Do you want to buy one too?"
"Hmph~ Don't buy it?"
The little girl then puffed up and said:
"Do you have a piece of paper to sell demons? Tell you, I'm a demon! Can you really suppress people? I don't believe it!"
This bright and cute little girl is now pouting with a look of suspicion. And the stall owner, who was trying to sell talismans, heard the little girl's words, but he couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart:
ā...... This little girl admits that she is a monster, which is really inhumane. But it seems that it is not annoying me to sell paper talismans that can stop her, but it seems to be more like suspecting that I am coaxing people~ This little sister is really cute. ā
At this time, the pedestrians passing by this place on the street, seeing this famous little girl, came to fight with others again, so they all surrounded this talisman stall and stopped to watch, just like watching the showman in the morning.
However, it was a little different for Awakening - in the morning, the boy was one of them, and now, he was the object of attention.
Xingyan's eyes were quite good, and in the crowd of onlookers, he saw the old man standing beside him and talking to him in the morning. Now, the old man looked at the situation next to the stall, and let out the same exclamation as before:
"Alas~ This little Taoist priest from a foreign country is probably going to be unlucky!"
Besides, the little fox fairy in the old man's mouth before, after saying that unbelieving words, he didn't wait to wake up and talk, so he swept up a few pieces of rune paper on the bamboo case and slapped them on himself. The girl's little hand kept gesturing, and she couldn't stop muttering:
"Big brother is really deceiving~ Look, these pieces of paper can't stop me~"
"Oh, sure enough!"
The onlookers who had heard of the name of this "little fox fairy" now saw that she had pasted these few runes, but there was nothing, and they all seemed to suddenly realize:
"I saw that this little Taoist priest was too young, how could those talismans he drew work? Fortunately, I didn't buy it!"
The buzzing of these onlookers finally woke up Chen Ziping, who was already asleep on the corner of the street not far away. This young disciple of the Shangqing Palace wiped his sleepy eyes, and suddenly saw a circle of people next to the talisman stall. Chen Ziping didn't know what was going on, so he immediately jumped up, separated the crowd, and came inside to see what was going on-
After clearing the crowd, he saw at a glance this little girl with a few pieces of rune paper embedded in her body. Now this girl with pink makeup and jade makeup even has a bamboo rune paper on the top of her head, which looks particularly cute and funny.
As soon as he saw that it was this "little fox fairy" again, Chen Ziping was immediately furious, and with a "swish" sound, he pulled out the sword behind his back and shouted to the girl:
"Duh, it's you monster again, and eat my sword!"
After that, with this bright sword in his hand, he was about to slash at the little girl's head!
"Wait!"
But when he saw this, he quickly stopped it.
"Brother Chen Dao, don't be in a hurry to do it - we and other cultivators are the most benevolent to Zhai. What's more, no matter what, she is just a little girl, and it is not appropriate to splash blood on the street in the blue sky and white!"
In Xingyan's heart, there is no idea of "people and demons are not mutually exclusive" like Chen Ziping. Seeing this girl's innocent and lovely demeanor, how could the young man bear to let that Chen Ziping cut down with a sword? At that moment, he thought of a reason that could make this Shangqing Palace Gate person accept it immediately.
Chen Ziping heard these words, and thought about it, so he was a little reluctant to take back the cold sword into the sword bag behind his back. It's just that he still glared at this little girl-
The situation just now was dangerous, but this "little fox fairy", who was almost splashed with blood on the spot, didn't seem to know to be afraid at all. Under Chen Ziping's angry eyes, this girl still made a grimace with him and said with a smile:
"This big brother is so fierce, but that knife is so bright, can you lend it to someone as a mirror?"
ā......ā
This time, it was the turn of this Shangqing Palace disciple to cry and laugh.
"This little sister, let's go play elsewhere! I'll buy you some candy to eat when I sell some silver later!"
Xingyan looked at the current situation, and said in his heart that if he let this little girl continue to play in front of this stall, I am afraid that his business will not be able to be done. Therefore, I wanted to coax her with kind words to see if I could let her hurry up and play elsewhere.
"Don't do it~ If the big brother promises not to sell this deceitful piece of paper again, people will leave!"
"Uh......"
I can't imagine that this girl still hates these "deceitful" talismans so much.
Xingyan glanced at the people around him who were waiting to see the show, but it was a little difficult to ride a tiger. After a moment of silence, especially thinking of his unsettled house money, Xingyan decided to be patient and answer the little girl until he coaxed her away.
Looking at the innocent and cute little girl in front of her, with a face like a beautiful jade, she couldn't get angry at all. At that moment, I saw the young stall owner and said to the little girl with a pleasant face:
"Little sister, my brother is not deceiving people - the talismans you just pasted are all talismans to ward off evil spirits. The little sister is so lively and lovely, how can she be that evil thing?"
"Well, of course~"
Hearing this explanation, the little girl took off the talisman paper that was still on her head.
"Then big brother, where do you put your demon paper?"
"Uh...... But here it is. ā
Xingyan pointed and scared her:
"This one, but I am the most powerful of these demon suppression talismans!"
"Don't scare me like a child!"
- Xingyan didn't pay attention, and he didn't have time to stop it, but he saw this clever little girl, before the words landed, she stretched out her hand, took the talisman that Xingyan had just boasted about, and slapped it on the top of her head-
This talisman is the one that Xingyan didn't feel at ease and painted before going out. This rune paper is the talisman that it is claimed in the scriptures that even the "fairy birds and beasts" can surrender.
In this time, everyone thought that the little girl would be safe, but suddenly something strange happened:
As soon as this talisman touched the girl's hair, it suddenly "snapped" with a crisp sound, and immediately covered the little girl's black bun!
And this "little fox fairy" suddenly became afraid, so he hurriedly stretched out two small hands like jade lotus roots, and vigorously lifted the strange talisman on his head - it's just that everyone present, including Xingyan, found strangely that no matter how the little girl used her strength to pull it, this originally weak and soft bamboo paper was now like the molten iron seeing the cold wind, and the wind grew into an iron plate, covering her head, not moving at all.
At this moment, everyone present was dumbfounded!
And this innocent and naughty "little fox fairy" is now also aware of her danger, only to see her crying intermittently said:
"Big brother... You're bullying kids!"
"IāI'm a very ugly youkai!"
"Hurry up and get rid of this strange paper...... Otherwise, I'm going to scare you to death!"
"Ugh!"
Not to mention that the little girl was struggling there, the owner of the talisman stall was now surprised and delighted:
"Ah~ I really can't imagine it! I originally only expected to earn two small bucks, but it really worked so quickly! It seems that this power is not small!"
But now the crowd of onlookers was shocked, and let out bursts of amazement. And the bold young man, who was there loudly cheering for the awakening:
"Immortal don't be afraid! I heard that she is just a little fox fairy, there is nothing to be afraid of!"
Listening to everyone's cheering themselves, they couldn't cry or laugh when they woke up. Seeing the frightened and helpless appearance of the little girl in front of her, Xingyan couldn't bear it in his heart, so he prepared to go over and remove the talisman on her head. However, Xingyan did not forget to take this opportunity to shout for his business before removing the talisman:
"All the fathers and villagers of Luoyang, the neighbors, now everyone has seen it with their own eyes, right? The spirit rune made by the Taoist chief himself is absolutely effective!"
"Now, with compassion and benevolence and righteousness, this spiritual talisman will be removed. ā
"Brother Zhang Dao is slow, it's better to ...... this demon like this"
But it was Chen Ziping, who was standing aside, who spoke out to persuade him.
However, Xingyan pretended that the surrounding sounds were noisy, so he didn't hear it, and immediately bypassed the bamboo table in front of him from the other side, and came to the little girl, and wanted to recite a spell to remove the talisman on her head-
It's already a step too late!
In the amazed eyes of everyone, this little girl, who was originally as beautiful as Qiongyu, is gradually changing into her true original form......
"Ahh
This was the young man who was very close, and when he saw this, he was so shocked that he took a few steps back to the side.
"Yikes!"
This exclamation was blurted out by all the onlookers who were present, and its loudness startled a group of birds and finches that were foraging in the nearby street.
Now, in the midst of everyone's amazed gaze, the "little fox fairy" in front of her is gradually revealing her true colors:
To everyone's surprise, this "little fox fairy" is not a raccoon fox in the mountains and forests!
I saw that in this bright spring light and shadow, a snow-white beast that seemed to be a tiger but not a tiger, a leopard and not a leopard, a forest and not a lin, and a snow-white beast that everyone had never seen before, was lying in front of everyone!
The color of this strange beast's fur is like snow, reflecting the bright spring sun in the sky, and it is emitting a brilliant jade snow light, which swayes so much that everyone onlookers can't seem to see clearly in front of them for a moment.
But this Raozhou teenager Zhang Xingyan has excellent eyesight, and he has seen a lot of strange things before. Therefore, Xingyan was not as frightened as others at this time, and after the initial surprise passed, he carefully observed the strange beast in front of him with a calm expression:
I saw that it was covered with snow, and its fur was as bright as snow. But if you look closely, its snow-colored fur makes the viewer feel that it is full of colors, faintly with a bright rainbow light, and it can't stop wandering on this snow-like body. And at the neck, there is a circle of pale golden mane, which emits thousands of golden rays of light when reflected by the sun. On the head of this strange beast, there is a pair of horns, which resemble Qiongju jade, like antelope antler antlers, and the color is like a pale red flame seedling.
What is strange is that under the two flanks of this strange beast, there is a pair of wings as white as snow as its body. It's just that on this pair of wings, the faint multicolored streamer is even more gorgeous.
"Holy!"
This is the first word that pops into his mind after seeing this strange beast!
Looking at the strange beast in front of him, there was a look of fear in its pale golden eyes.
"Poor and pitiful!"
This is the second inexplicable word that pops into the teenager's mind.
Now, in the mind of the awakening words, he no longer regards the strange beast in front of him as an alien. Seeing the sad and frightened look in her eyes, the young man felt pity in his heart.
At that moment, Xingyan took a few steps forward, leaned over and squatted in front of this strange beast, and said to her with a smile:
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. ā
"Bear with me, don't move, and wait for me to remove this talisman from your head. ā
After that, Xingyan recited a specially recited incantation in his mouth, and stretched out his hand to remove the spirit rune that bound this strange beast firmly!
