Chapter 19: The Halfling

The moon is bright, and the earth is dust-free.

"Hmm!" he snorted, and under the moonlit night, Tang Xiaojiu suddenly opened his eyes and found that he was lying on the ground, still in the open space by the pool. He remembered what happened before he fell unconscious, and hurriedly stood up and touched his body up and down, there was nothing unusual, only some swelling pain in his brain.

He was full of doubts in his heart, first raised his left hand to take a closer look, then raised his right hand to look at it, and lifted his clothes and touched his stomach. Until he saw a black spot on the tiger's mouth on his left hand, which he had brought out of his mother's womb, and saw a scar on the little finger of his right hand, which was cut when he was mischievous when he was a child. There are also three cinnabar moles in the shape of finished characters on the belly, which is a unique sign! After confirming that his body is still his own, he is relieved, it seems that the monster did not take away his body!

Tang Xiaojiu let out a long breath, a big stone fell to the ground in his heart, and he was glad that the little master was still alive, I don't know which passing fairy blessed him, he finally didn't die in this barren mountain in a daze. He had never believed in ghosts and gods, and at this time he finally had to pray silently in his heart and be grateful to God.

No! He remembered very clearly, at the moment when his heart was like ashes, a little golden light penetrated into his head from his forehead! But looking at the current situation, although the monster kept claiming to control him, how could it be his body or his own now? As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but wonder a little that he was not dead. In this way, dare to love that monster and talk nonsense with himself for a long time, are they all bragging to coax themselves to play?

Tang Xiaojiu's heart was lifted again, he stood up and jumped in place for a while, shaking his hands, kicking his feet, picking up stones and throwing them around, his mouth let out a burst of shouting and screaming, squeezing his eyebrows, and making any movements when he thought of what to do...... After tossing for a long time, the result still proved that he Tang Xiaojiu was still Tang Xiaojiu!

"Hahahaha, this is really good, it couldn't be better!" Tang Xiaojiu laughed wildly, and suddenly lay on the ground, breathing heavily.

However, did he have a strange dream just now? Or was the monster purely blinded to himself? Could it be that the monster made a mistake when it entered his brain, and instead of killing Tang Xiaojiu, he killed him? Is it possible that he was smoked to death by the obscene thoughts in his own head? Thinking of this, Tang Xiaojiu looked around, and saw that where the monster was standing, something was lying there, and it was a slender shape in the moonlight, not like a person at all, and there was a stick-like thing stuck next to it.

Tang Xiaojiu's heart was strange, and a bone got up from the ground and looked over, good guy! The one lying on the ground turned out to be a big snake with a flat shoulder length and a thick bowl mouth, and there was actually a strange protrusion like a flower crown on the snake's head, could it be that this snake was a snake king? Tang Xiaojiu was startled at first, and jumped away one step, for fear that this snake would pounce on him. But the serpent lay on the ground, motionless, and looked as if it was dead. And there was a knife next to the corpse of this strange snake, and this knife was so dark that it was quietly inserted in the soil, inconspicuous.

Tang Xiaojiu mustered up the courage to step forward, first pulled out the black knife, poked it on the strange snake's body, the strange snake didn't move, and then used the knife to cut a few cuts on the strange snake's body, but the strange snake still didn't move. Zuihou became bold, dragged the snake's tail and shook it, shook it up and slammed it on the ground, but the strange snake still didn't react. Sure enough, the snake was so dead that it couldn't die anymore, it was dead!

Tang Xiaojiu threw away the black knife and the strange snake, looked around for a while, and ran along this clearing, but he didn't see the snake demon at all, only the strange black knife and the corpse of the strange snake. When he ran back to the dead snake, he suddenly slapped his head and scolded himself for being stupid, isn't this the corpse of the snake demon in front of him? The snake demon is really dead, and it still shows its original form after death, the ascetic once said, this should be his corpse.

It turned out that the original body of this snake demon was such a strange snake, and there was a meat crown on its head, Tang Xiaojiu had never seen such a strange snake. He looked at the dead snake and remembered that it had been talking to him before, and he was amazed, he never expected that a snake could really change into a human being.

Wait! The snake demon is dead here, but the voice that spoke to him said that he was not this snake demon, but only temporarily resided in the snake demon's body, borrowing his body. If what he said is true, then although the snake demon is dead, it doesn't mean that the monster who talked to him is also dead.

Could it be that the unknown monster had already given up the snake demon's body before the snake demon died, and went out of the snake demon's body? By the way, it should be that golden light. The golden light that came out of the snake demon's body was the youkai who was talking to him! The snake demon died because the golden light left, and the golden light burrowed into his head.

Thinking of this, Tang Xiaojiu glanced around, in the mountains in the middle of the night, the chill in the windlight under the moonlight made him shiver. All around was dark and dark, and the grass was full of insects screaming, but in this uninhabited mountain wilderness, Tang Xiaojiu was even more hairy, and for a while he remembered all kinds of ghost stories he had heard, even including the ones he made up to scare Lu Zheng, at this time, it actually reminded him, and his heart was pounding in panic.

But no matter what, he still survived, which is already a blessing in misfortune! And if he is alive, it proves that the monster that burrowed into his head must be dead.

Tang Xiaojiu went to pick up the black knife, held it in his hand, and sat on the ground with his ass. As soon as this life crisis was lifted, he was really relieved, and scolded in his mouth: "His grandmother's, I don't know if the grandfather's ancestral grave was splashed with dog blood, or if Lu Zheng's mother's ancestral grave was pierced by rats, and he actually bumped into such a big luck! Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng, I didn't expect your kid to die so quickly, and you didn't even say hello to Brother Jiu, how dare you die like this! Brother Jiu didn't let you die, how dare you die...... It's all to blame on the damn monk, why didn't you come earlier, woo woo woo ......"

Scolding and scolding, he remembered Lu Zheng and cried sadly. I cried for a while, and thought that this was all caused by the damn snake demon, and I felt a little real fire in my heart, and I wanted to stand up and use the black knife to chop the strange snake to pieces, but my legs were as soft as cotton, and I couldn't get up.

However, there is no hurry to cut the corpse of the snake demon to take revenge, anyway, the dead corpse of the snake demon will not run away, so it is better to rest and recuperate first. So, Tang Xiaojiu simply went back, fell to the ground, and began to curse the snake demon and the unknown monster in his mouth.

Scolding and scolding, and thinking that he was finally alive, and he could still escape under the mouth of the monster, he was proud again, and a joy welled up in his heart. He took a few satisfied breaths, his chest rose and fell violently, and then he giggled, and gradually laughed louder and louder, zuihou actually jumped up directly, hahadaxiao. For a while, I felt that the world was so big that there was nowhere to go, and there was nothing to do in the world.

Suddenly, a rather impatient voice said, "You are not afraid to summon the wolf!"

Hearing this voice, it was clearly the monster that kept saying that he wanted to control himself, Tang Xiaojiu's smile suddenly froze on his face! Frightened, he bounced up from the corpse of the strange snake, and almost broke his foot when he landed. But the snake was still lying on the ground, showing no signs of movement. He looked left and right, and after a long look, the strange snake was still motionless, and had not been resurrected.

So he tiptoed towards the corpse of the strange snake, and his steps were very light, as if he was afraid that the sound of his footsteps would wake the strange snake and suddenly come back to life.

The voice said, "What are you doing, are you a thief in the barren mountains and mountains?"

Tang Xiaojiu was suddenly petrified! This voice really existed, not his own hallucination, but what was even more terrifying was that the voice did not come from the corpse of the strange snake, but from his own body. Or rather, it wasn't the sound he heard with his ears, but it came from his heart. Tang Xiaojiu's movements immediately froze, his throat gurgled, and he swallowed a large mouthful of saliva. He reacted instantly, this monster has succeeded!

He's in his own body!

The monster was in his body, but he didn't disappear? Tang Xiaojiu calmed down all of a sudden, he was not erased by the other party, so he said to his stomach: "Hey, I said, are you in the body of the master?"

Sure enough, the voice replied lazily: "To be exact, it is in your Mud Pill Palace! This time the transfer of the body consumed all my mana, and I was resting well, and I was woken up by your crazy howl!"

Tang Xiaojiu was frightened, and touched his body up and down again, there was one more person in his body, which was really indescribably terrifying and weird. And Tang Xiaojiu didn't know that Lu Zheng was also experiencing similar things, the ascetic used his psychic powers against Lu Zheng, and the voice of the ascetic also appeared in Lu Zheng's heart, but compared with Tang Xiaojiu, it was not so terrifying.

After touching his body for a long time and not touching anything, Tang Xiaojiu calmed down and frowned: "Hey, let me ask you, didn't you say that you wanted to erase my consciousness, then why am I still good now? What is the Mud Pill Palace? Who are you?"

The longer he talked to the voice, the more strange it always felt. This person always speaks in a secretive way, and always makes himself unable to know his intentions, and even the tone and habits of his speech can't make people speculate what kind of temper and temperament the other party is, and he doesn't even know whether he is old or young, only a ridiculous sentence "hundreds of years", which means that he seems to have lived for a long time, but Tang Xiaojiu can't believe it, and the other party doesn't have the feeling of an old man talking at all.

The voice was a little impatient and said, "You ask me so many questions at once, which one should I answer first?"

Tang Xiaojiu thought for a while, and then said to his stomach: "Answer Zuihou's question, who are you?"

The voice suddenly laughed and said, "Hey, Lao Tzu is in your mud pill palace, why do you always talk to your stomach! You want to know who I am, what, then I don't have to answer other questions?"

Tang Xiaojiu rolled his eyes and said, "How do I know where the Mud Pill Palace is, I only know that children live in their stomachs." However, since I am still alive, it doesn't matter if I don't know that Weishenme is still alive. As for what the Mud Pill Palace is, believe me if I don't ask, and you will tell me slowly. You need me to do things for you, I'm afraid the first thing is to teach me all sorts of things. Although the master is not too smart, he is not too stupid, and he is a little self-aware, with my ability, even if you look at it, you can't do anything, and you will naturally teach me how to do it when the time comes. So, you'd better answer me zuihou a question!"

The voice said approvingly: "Tang Xiaojiu, I admire you a little at this moment." At a young age, he not only sees things thoroughly, but more importantly, he has self-knowledge, knowing where he is and what he should do. That's not cleverness, it's great wisdom!"

Tang Xiaojiu didn't expect him to praise himself so directly, he didn't know the other party's intentions for a while, and sneered: "Why, praising the master so loudly at this time, is it because after entering the master's body, he found that he couldn't kill the master, and he had to listen to the master from now on, so he had a good relationship with me!"

The voice hahadaxiao, "Really?" Before the words fell, Tang Xiaojiu suddenly felt that his left hand suddenly moved, and then suddenly choked his neck, and the force he used was extremely large, which was not at all what he could usually use, let alone pinch his neck.
