Li Jingliu thought about it and asked, "How much?"

"Pay directly, it's fifty spirit stones a day, you have to bet with me, and if you win, I'll give it away for nothing." The short man had a slumped nose, a wide mouth, and half-sized eyes that glowed when he spoke of gambling. His magic weapon was also interesting, the largest point was not six but twelve, and twelve black dots flashed with the movements of the short man.

Li Jingliu only felt funny, and dared to shout at such a high price as fifty times a spirit stone, didn't this force the master to gamble with you?: "What are you betting on?

"That can't be, I've done this magic weapon, but I don't dare to gamble with the guests with this. As he spoke, he shook his hand, but took out a copper coin, showed Li Jingliu the front and back, and then said, "Let's bet on the front and back, fair, right?"

Li Jingliu smiled: "Come on, come on, you know the rules, it doesn't matter if you kill a thousand." "Li Jingliu doesn't look at this short man's cultivation very much, although his own cultivation is only the Great Perfection of the Qing Qi Period, but if Danqing unlocks the control of Li Jingliu's cultivation, his true cultivation should be around the early stage of the Dust Separation Period.

"That's nature, gambling, just pay attention to luck!" After that, he threw the dice into the sky, but he didn't take it, only waited for it to fall from the clouds, and then said, "Heads?"

Who knows if it's positive or negative? Li Jingliu scolded angrily in his heart, this has all fallen, there are too many uncertain factors, not to mention the positive and negative, if anyone doesn't pay attention to kicking over, there will be one more option to disappear.

Two local monks happened to fly over next to him, and when they saw the short man, they began to laugh: "Yo, Zhou Laoqian, which gambling house was beaten up and deceived by this?"

The other simply told Li Jingliu the answer directly: "There is no positive and negative, the copper coin will naturally disappear if it falls~hahaha~"

Before the short man Zhou Laoqian could get angry, the two monks flew away again.

Li Jingliu said: "I can't guess. But if you admit defeat now, I'll give you fifteen spirit stones a day. "That's the normal guide price.

Zhou Laoqian looked down, trying to find the trace of the copper coin, but there were people and cars on the ground, and there was still a shadow. After a long time, he gave up: "Twenty spirit stones." I even know where the underground casino is~"

"I'll give you one hundred and fifty, which is a five-day ration. The trivial matters in the city and the like are also expected to be told in detail by Taoist friends. "The best way to convince him of a gambler is to give more money.

Coincidentally, Chang Dazhuang pulled Li Jingliu's sleeve and whispered like an afterthought: "It didn't disappear...... The coin had just been picked up. ”

Now that the price has been agreed, Li Jingliu is not afraid that he will regret it, and said loudly: "If someone picks it up, it's gone, right, Zhou Daoyou?"

Zhou Laoqian looked around, and it seemed that even the person who picked up the copper coin was gone, so he gave up, but the thirty spirit stones said politely: "That's natural, are you willing to gamble and lose, dare to ask how to ask Daoyou?"

"You're polite, my surname is Li, this is my nephew, surnamed Chang. ”

Zhou Laoqian looked at these two people, Chang Dazhuang's demonic aura also made him suspect that this was a demon cultivator, and Li Jingliu's cultivation did not exceed the Qing Qi period at most, since he was an uncle and nephew, Li Jingliu couldn't get out of the slightest demonic energy, presumably Li Jingliu was a demon cultivator who hid his cultivation. Although there are not as many demon cultivators as usual these years, there are not a few people who come out and move around. Coupled with Li Jingliu's generosity, Zhou Laoqian couldn't help but think a little.

"Li Daoyou can have a place to live, so let's find a place to live with me before doing things, right?"

The three of them found an inconspicuous inn in the south of the city, but the inside was very neat and comfortable, the shopkeeper was a middle-aged man, red-faced, medium stature, very warm hospitality, although the food was ordinary, but quite a mountain delicacy. The three of them had lunch here, rested for a while, and went to the residences in the north of the city with Zhou Laoqian in the afternoon.

According to the information of the rat merchants, the soul book of the Muzhi prayer should show the same or similar characteristics as the Wuzhi prayer, that is, judging by the vision in the city. But when Li Jingliu thought of the dense tasks in this city, he felt a sense of depression that he had been deceived.

Wuzhiqi is the former water god, Li Jingliu originally felt that it had something to do with the dragon, however, no matter how you look at the dragon, this kind of thing is at the level of immortal beasts, and as a dragon clan, that ferocious nature is very easy to raise the cultivation to several levels in terms of expressiveness. Even if Li Jingliu's character explodes and fights hard, it may not be enough for people to stuff their teeth. Let's think about it differently and think about the mountain god, since it is the mountain god, there should be a reason for the fox on the mountain to be violent, right?

Li Jingliu had the idea of deceiving himself and followed Zhou Laoqian to the mountains north of the city. Chang Dazhuang on the side listened with relish to Zhou Laoqian's beautiful figure and charming gait of those fox spirits, and even revealed the pink secret of the previous eight-tailed fairy fox and the president of the cultivator guild, it is said that the reason why the fox demon was removed on the task list was also because the fox demon somehow offended the president, and the chairman himself couldn't do anything to the fox demon, so he posted the notice.

Li Jingliu listened with taste, and at the same time angrily scolded Zhou Laoqian for teaching his nephew badly, Zhou Laoqian didn't care, just thought he was a hypocrisy, and he still spoke vividly, which caused Chang Dazhuang to drool for a long time. Li Jingliu would never admit that the reason why he was going to Beishan to have a look was because the legend of the fox demon was too tempting.

As for the expulsion~ I said that it was an eight-tailed fairy fox, and I don't know if it was a little bit worse than the nine-tailed sky fox, and I didn't know if it was half a line, but I couldn't really look for bad luck, right?

Coming to the north of the city, Li Jingliu finally understood what it meant to be a fox demon, and the fox demon in Yangjia Village was almost not worth mentioning compared with here. Foxes can be seen anywhere in a large number of houses in the mountains in the north of the city, the foxes squatting on the beams of the houses that are smoking and humming towards Li Jingliu, and at some point two or three foxes gathered at their feet, they are not afraid of people, but they are affectionately rubbing around the feet of Li Jingliu and the others, and they are screaming and begging for food. As soon as the three of them raised their eyes, they saw a group of foxes rushing out of the small courtyard from nowhere, and disappeared with a hiss. Roughly looking at it this way, there are more foxes than people in this place. And the people in the north of the city don't seem to be afraid, as if they are used to it, walking and shopping, and from time to time you can see children with baskets of yellow rice and the like to feed the foxes, and the foxes are not troublesome, as well-behaved as tamed dogs.

"Are you sure you really need to get rid of the fox demon here?" Li Jingliu said incredulously, this person and the fox get along harmoniously, it can be used as a model of peaceful coexistence between the demon and the demon!

Chang Dazhuang is going out for the first time, the fox is the first time to see this species, seeing that Li Jingliu has no time to pay attention to himself, his eyes can't help but follow the little boy who fed the fox before, and in the end, he just can't enjoy it, so he simply stepped forward and grabbed the boy's bamboo basket himself.

"Li Daoyou, you said you wanted to come and see. I'm just telling you that the vixens here are beautiful. Zhou Laoqian felt that he had been wronged.

Li Jingliu's old face turned red, and then he said: "Ah~ The foxes here are too young, and they haven't become sperm yet~ Please ask Daoyou to take us to meet some foxes who have become sperm." As he spoke, he suddenly saw a woman floating past him, she pursed her lips and chuckled, swaggering by, Li Jingliu could only think that nephrite jade is the muscles and bones, autumn water is the god, spring flowers are the color, and frost and snow are the air. This one...... He hurriedly opened his eyes and looked at this dwelling, there were few foxes, no wonder these foxes were like dogs, and they were not guarded at all when they were with their kind.

Zhou Laoqian saw his expression and said: "Now you know why you want to get rid of the fox demon, right? There were originally few foxes in the north of the city, but in the past ten years, there have been more and more foxes, and the residents here before seemed to have disappeared, and our city lord had also taken care of this matter before, and he stared at it for a month without catching half of the fox demon's tail, and the people who should disappear continued to disappear." Besides, the leader of the family is a fairy fox, so he can't catch the fox for no reason, right?"

"I'm rubbing, it's full of foxes, how can I check it? Has anyone found it out before?"

"What my city lord can't find, I don't see that there are no monks in the world who can find it anymore, but the previous monks are very enjoyable, those foxes are delicious and drinkable, and the beauties are picturesque and eye-catching, and they will naturally come down after two or three days, and they will naturally come down when they come back to report. I see, Taoist friends, you should enjoy a lap for free and go up and take a look, investigate or something, or forget it. ”

Before Li Jingliu could agree, he suddenly heard the scolding of a shrew, it was nothing more than some people who had lost their ancestors, and their father and mother had not taught them well, so the two of them hurriedly turned to look, but saw Chang Dazhuang hanging his head and listening to the reprimand of a woman who was only as high as his neck, he looked embarrassed, he didn't know what kind of expression to make, and he didn't know where to put his hand, and the bamboo basket that he had snatched before had fallen to the ground. Holding the woman's skirt and hiding behind the woman's back was the little boy who had fed the fox before.

At this sight, Li Jingliu's anger came up, how could Chang Dazhuang say that he was also his nephew, how could he be reprimanded by an outsider for no reason? He just wanted to go up to stop it, but Chang Dazhuang suddenly revealed his true appearance as if he had endured to the limit, and the huge snake head spit out a bright red letter thinking about the woman hissing twice, as if he wanted to pounce forward.

This woman was really a human being, and she couldn't help but be frightened, and suddenly saw that the young man she had been reprimanding had turned into a big snake, and his face was so hideous, but he simply fainted, but fortunately, the little boy had been hiding behind the woman, and the little heart did not leave a shadow of fear. It's just that when he saw his mother suddenly faint, the little boy finally couldn't hold back and cried out.

Li Jingliu looked at the woman, looked at Chang Dazhuang, suddenly stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and turned him into a human form: "The first lesson that your Uncle Li taught you, when you see a middle-aged female human with cubs, you can hide as much as possible, and if you can't dodge, don't be vain, otherwise the fierceness will be multiplied and multiplied, and you will do a good job today." ”

Chang Dazhuang thought about it and smiled innocently: "I understand, the female snake that lays eggs is also very fierce, the same, right?"

Li Jingliu slapped it over: "Still laughing, there is a small one here, what should I do?" Li Jingliu didn't coax the child, but Zhou Laoqian simply flashed away, and he was looking at them from afar.

Unexpectedly, Chang Dazhuang simply squatted down and patted the little boy's round head, but the moment the little boy raised his eyes, it turned into a snake face, which would be closer, and the blood-red letter almost licked the little boy's face, and then, the little boy really stopped crying, he opened his round eyes wide, and then fainted straight.

Zhou Laoqian watched from afar, and secretly said that these two are indeed demon cultivators, the nephew is not very sensible, and the uncle understands the appearance of human feelings and sophistication very well.

Li Jingliu really didn't expect Chang Dazhuang to understand it this way, he was angry and funny for a while, so he had to follow the way the boy he saw before to come out, and moved the big and small two back to the house, and when they entered the house, they found that the house was not as rich as they imagined, and there was surplus food to feed the fox. In the two rooms, there was no extra half of furniture, a low thatched bed was placed against the wall, the cotton cloth on top was washed and stripped off, and on the low table in the middle of the room, there were only two plates of vegetarian dishes, the pale color did not look like oil, but in the two old bowls there were only some unfinished grains. On the other hand, the yellow rice inside the bamboo basket is still bright in color, and the aroma of grains comes out of the bamboo basket.

"What the hell do you city lord care about this place? The people here have to feed the foxes if they don't eat it?" Li Jing asked Zhou Laoqian in a voice, since Mo Dongduan transmitted the sound to him for the first time, he had learned the skill of sound transmission. Is it true that everyone here is threatened by foxes? But the kid didn't behave like that? He even fed the fox with some love.

"I really don't know this, the notices at the gate of the city are all hung up by the city lord entrusted by the cultivator guild, and even the people here are not happy in every way, and it doesn't look like they have fallen into illusion. ”

No, Li Jingliu had to wait in the house for the two to wake up, but sent Chang Dazhuang out to sentry, to say that Chang Dazhuang is very curious about foxes, after all, it is the first time to see this kind of furry creature, there are still a lot of them, Zhou Laoqian received money from others and naturally couldn't help but work, so he told Li Jingliu about the fox in the north of the city during this time, this time the information is about the previous half-ridiculous tone, but the real situation.

"More than ten years ago, there were not so many foxes in the north of the city, and the leading fox at that time only had six tails, and I don't know what was going on, the fox's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds in the past ten years, and it has easily become an eight-tailed, you know, foxes with more than six tails, every additional tail is subject to catastrophe, not to mention the catastrophe, even the time can't be explained, how to say six tails to seven tails will have eight hundred years, let alone eight tails. ”

"That is, during that period of time, the people in the north of the city suddenly became fond of foxes, just like you can see, they would rather eat vegetarian food themselves, and they have to cook meat with foxes all the time. After that, there were more and more foxes here, and there were fewer and fewer people, and what was even more strange was that the people here themselves did not remember that those people were missing, that is, their parents and brothers were missing, and no one knew. ”

"You city lord really haven't found out anything, could it be the effect of some magic weapon?" Li Jingliu interrupted, it stands to reason that in such a big city, the city lord's cultivation is also at the level of a fake immortal, even if the fox is indeed very good at illusion, how can he not see it?

Zhou Laoqian seemed to be very unhappy with Li Jingliu's suspicions: "Our city lord's cultivation, if you can't find out, you really don't have it, and if you really don't have it, they took the initiative." ”

Li Jingliu was silent for a long time, and suddenly realized: "Yes, they took the initiative." ”

When the sun was about to set, the frightened mother and son woke up, and the previous snake-faced monster appeared as if it was just a hallucination, leaving nothing behind and disappearing. All they saw was a yellow-haired fox, crouched beside a hay bed, staring at them with its round grape eyes moist.

This fox is Li Jingliu, he has been studying the phantom body Ruyi for a while, but found that this Ruyi also has a memory function, which can briefly project the image on the person. According to his idea, the people here may not be able to show their true thoughts to humans, and they may show their true side to the foxes they "voluntarily" feed. This afternoon, Li Jingliu recorded the various sitting postures of a fox in this dwelling, and after sending Chang Dazhuang and Zhou Laoqian away, he was ready to talk here alone.

Sure enough, when the woman saw that there was only a fox, her guard immediately softened. She gently took the fox in her arms, and said in a tone that even showed merit: "Fox, fox, I have protected you today." ”

The boy hurriedly climbed down from the bed, tentatively stroked the fox's fur, and said, "Fox, my mother and I have protected you, when can you put my father back?"

Li Jingliu didn't notice this, he had seen some men in this area before, but he didn't pay attention to whether the men here were humans or foxes. At this time, he could only nod, make a docile appearance, and shouted twice at the two mothers and sons, and then turned around and went out.

He didn't notice the surprise expressions on the faces of the two mothers and sons behind him, you know, in addition to being docile and kind in front of outsiders, the fox here has always been hideous to the residents in the north of the city.

Li Jingliu jumped out in an instant, but saw that under the setting sun, all the foxes were squatting on the beams, some even maintained their human form, and there was no one on the street. The foxes hissed low at Sunset, then bowed to Sunset three times, purring in their throats as if something was about to roll out.

After a while, the foxes spit out some small transparent beads, and those beads were filled with clouds in the residual light of the setting sun, and seemed to gather the residual light of the sun, and gradually changed from transparent to dark red, and the foxes looked at the color, and seemed to feel satisfied, and swallowed those beads back, and at the moment when the sunset sank, countless foxes disappeared.
