Chapter 16: The Monster Who Devoured the Magic Weapon
Xingchen and Qin Haoran walked about a mile away, and saw that the woods in front of them were gradually separated, and the sky was also opened, and in the open space of the woods, there was a two-story small wooden building, on which a triangular pennant was obliquely raised, and the pennant had four big characters on it, "Fanchen Inn".
The inn looked like it had been some years old, the pennant had faded, and the railings of the wooden building had begun to turn black, and some corners had wet green moss.
There is no boss in the inn, but there is a beautiful proprietress who is very young and beautiful, and the skirt she wears is very bright, so that it is easy to notice her before you look at it, and it is easy to remember her after you see it.
Of course, the hostess is not busy alone in the inn, although her hands and feet are very nimble, but when there are many guests, she is still too busy.
The proprietress invited the little girl to help her take care of some chores, and the girl Xiaohonger was born smart and smart, but she couldn't talk and did everything.
Qin Haoran remembered that he stayed here for one night last night, probably in his sleep, someone adjusted his wordless secret book.
"Master, there is so much demonic spirit here!" "The magic weapon of Xingchen, the life and death party, suddenly spoke.
Xingchen couldn't help frowning, and said to Qin Haoran vigilantly: "Brother Haoran, be careful, there are monsters here!"
The owner of the inn had already greeted him with a smile, and when he heard Xingchen say that there were monsters, he smiled and said: "This blue sky and white day, where are the monsters from, come in and sit down, do you want some wine, or drink tea." ”
Qin Haoran didn't believe that there were monsters here, otherwise, how could he spend the night here peacefully last night?
"I'm very hungry now, can I have some food!" Qin Haoran put his sword on the table, and his legs were horizontally on the stool, with a bit of Jianghu atmosphere.
The proprietress quickly took out some of the food she had prepared before, and said as she put the food on the table: "Young man, have you heard of Demon Cloud City? The monsters there are so strong that people who are too shallow don't dare to go at all. ”
Qin Haoran said with a smile: "I know that there are monsters in Demon Cloud City, why do I still want to go, that is because I don't know that there are tigers in the mountain, and I prefer to go to the tiger mountain?"
"You don't know, in that Demon Cloud City, there is a powerful magic weapon, called the Trapped Demon Tower, if you can get it, you can subdue the demons and eliminate the demons, and there is no disadvantage!" the proprietress said mysteriously.
The proprietress personally poured wine for the two of them and said, "Of course, this magic weapon is not something that ordinary people can get, because there are too many monsters in Demon Cloud City!"
Qin Haoran waved his hand and said, "The boss lady is still a little realistic!"
The proprietress smiled again and said: "Speaking closer, behind this inn, there is a mountain, called Fenglai Mountain, this mountain is under a lake and marsh, and there is a monster in this lake and marsh recently, if this monster is drilled into the water, it will be like the moonlight, if it is out of the water, the sky will be prosperous*." This is not the main thing, mainly its inner pill, which is said to be able to improve the cultivator's Dao behavior for ten years. The two of you have to go and get it. ”
Qin Haoran listened attentively, but said with a smile: "If there is really such a good thing, those who are in a hurry to cultivate are still rushing to it, and they are still waiting for us to get it." What's more, this thing is not something that can be caught by hand, if you don't do it well, you have to put your life on the line. ”
Xingchen also agreed with Qin Haoran's statement, thinking that there was no need to take such a risk.
"Boss, how about I still stay with you tonight, or in the room from last night?" Qin Haoran put down the wine glass in his hand and said to the proprietress.
"Okay, Xiaohong, go upstairs and clean up the room where this guest stayed yesterday. The proprietress said to Little Red.
Qin Haoran continued to drink and eat, and he asked as he drank, "Boss, how many years have you been in this mortal inn?"
The proprietress said, "It's been about ten years." ”
Qin Haoran looked at the cup he had drunk and smiled: "In this remote place, you are a woman and a Taoist family, you have lived here for so many years, and you are not afraid of mountain bandits, robbers, mountain ghosts, fox demons?"
The proprietress also sat down and said, "What's so scared of this, it's a big deal to have a few more dogs, do you see the dog downstairs? ”
Speaking of which, a dog barked outside, and Xingchen looked outside, and she really had a vicious dog here.
At night, Xingchen and Qin Haoran came to the upstairs room, Xingchen sat down and said, "You still live in this room where you lived yesterday, do you want to return the secret to the person who transferred your wordless secret last night?"
Qin Haoran just smiled, how could this kind of thing happen.
"Do you think this boss lady is suspicious, or is that little girl who doesn't speak suspicious?" Qin Haoran said to Xingchen.
"She's not a monster, if it's a monster, my magic weapon will kill them. "Wake up the dust.
"Brother Xingchen, do you have a magic weapon?" Qin Haoran seemed surprised.
"Don't make a noise, be careful that the wall has ears. Xingchen pointed outside. There seemed to be a man standing outside.
Qin Haoran opened the door, but it was Xiaohong who brought in hot water for washing his feet. She was about to knock on the door, but when she heard someone talking inside, she was afraid of disturbing the guest.
"Little girl, have you heard that there are monsters around here?" Qin Haoran asked.
Xiaohong hung her head, blushing and not speaking.
Xingchen reminded: "Brother Haoran, this little girl is a mute and can't speak. ”
Qin Haoran didn't ask anymore, but Xiaohong suddenly spoke: "The boss lady won't let me say, there are monsters here." ”
Qin Haoran and Xingchen glanced at each other, it turned out that there were really monsters here.
Xiaohong glanced outside, made sure that there was no one, and continued: "Actually, don't be afraid, two guests, our monsters here don't eat people. It's just a dog. ”
"This has to start from ten years ago, ten years ago, I and the proprietress just came here, the boss was still alive at that time, I was only four or five years old at that time, so I don't remember very clearly, not long after the inn opened, there was a group of robbers, our boss was hacked to death by those robbers, the proprietress was almost captured, at this moment, the sky was stormy, black clouds filled the sky, a monster with a full face and beard suddenly appeared, and the robbers were scared away. The proprietress and I thought that this monster would harm us, so we were so frightened that we kowtowed on the ground, but we didn't expect that the monster turned around, a wisp of black smoke, and turned into its original form, which turned out to be the big black dog in the proprietress house. The big black dog suddenly spoke, saying that it had been cultivating, and as long as it was there, it would definitely protect the peace of this inn. It had to take some pills to speed up its cultivation progress. One day, a Taoist priest stayed here and dropped the magic weapon here, and was actually eaten by the big black dog. After the big black dog ate the magic weapon, his cultivation improved a lot. So later, as long as it could find magic weapons and secret tips, he ate them all. After Xiaohong finished speaking, she said to Qin Haoran and Xingchen, "Okay, let's not talk about it, you two guests should rest early." ”
Xingchen thought, a monster that can eat magic weapons, it's the first time I've heard of it, it's incredible.
After Xiaohong went downstairs, Qin Haoran suddenly screamed, startling Xingchen.
Qin Haoran said with a painful expression: "My wordless secret recipe won't be eaten by that monster? Then I'm a cultivation genius, what will I use to cultivate in the future, how can I avenge my master? I didn't expect my wordless secret recipe to be buried in the mouth of a dog all the time, no, I'm going to find that monster and get the wordless secret recipe back." ”
Before Xingchen could stop it, Qin Haoran had already gone downstairs with his sword. Xingchen was worried that something would happen to him, so he immediately followed.
At night, there is a lantern downstairs, but it is not very clearly illuminated, but you can dimly see the bearded youkai standing there, and the weapon in his hand is an iron chain, which is also a chain that ties a dog.
The dog demon has never wanted to kill people, and it has never killed people, because when it is a human being, it sometimes eats magic weapons and secrets, just for cultivation, at this moment, Qin Haoran's sword is obviously facing it.
I only heard the dog demon laugh and said: "The brother in the back, you have a magic weapon in your pocket, why don't you hand it over to me first, my stomach is empty now." ”
"Don't, master, don't give me this to this monster, it's too evil, even the magic weapon is eaten. The magic weapon of Xingchen said, even the magic weapon is afraid of this monster.
Although Qin Haoran held the sword in his hand, he didn't make a move easily, this dog demon had eaten so many magic weapons and secrets, and the demon method should not be underestimated, so he still decided to wait for the opportunity.
Xingchen took out the Wind Bamboo and said, "Youkai, do you know what this thing is?"
Although this dog demon has eaten a lot of magic weapons, it has been chained to this wooden building for many years, and it has no knowledge, and the wind bamboo is a low-level magic weapon, where has it seen it, and after staring for a moment, he asked, "What kind of bullshit is this?"
Xingchen laughed and said: "This magic weapon is called a dog stick, specializing in fighting pigs, dogs, and demon animals." ”
The dog demon took two steps back, obviously frightened: "So, your magic weapon is my nemesis?"
Xingchen took a step forward and said: "If you are not afraid, you can come and try!"
The dog demon has cultivated for so many years, and has never been afraid of anyone, but now it is hesitant, it is really a little afraid of the dog beating stick in Xingchen's hand. But its courage is very great, I saw him say: "Brother, you are also a person with Taoism, why don't you put down the magic weapon, how about we compete with each other?"
That Qin Haoran couldn't hold it back, poured his true qi into the sword, and attacked the dog demon, but the dog demon was very flexible, the iron chain in his hand shook, and several blue lights lingered back and forth on Qin Haoran's body, and in a blink of an eye, Qin Haoran was already bound by the iron chain.
Seeing the situation, in order to rescue Qin Haoran, he also raised the spirit snake sword in his hand and attacked. The dog demon bared his teeth coldly, his hand shook, and another iron chain bound Xingchen.
Qin Haoran has always regarded himself as high, but now he is bound by a dog chain, and he feels very ashamed, but he is powerless to break free.
At this moment, the innkeeper hurriedly came over, only to see her knock twice on the head of the dog demon and say, "You black dog, you are not obedient at all, you are harming people here again, go back quickly." ”
I saw a flash of light on the dog demon's body, turned into its original form, and shook its head and tail at its master.
