Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Millennial Demon Fox (I)
After three days of inseparable relationship, the three became more and more familiar, as if they regarded each other as confidants and friends. Shangguan Bingyu has a delicate appearance, not as if he has endured hardship, but after a three-day trek, he can eat more than the two.
At this time, she stood in front of the two of them, although she was covered in dust, but still so beautiful and moving, she looked at the low thatched hut from afar, her expression was solemn, and she said: "This place is black and airy, dark clouds cover the top, the wind is gusting, and the air is lifeless, obviously there is a demon at work." The local villagers were entangled by the thousand-year-old fox demon, and they were afraid that they would be miserable. ”
She looked back at the two of them and said, "What do the two junior brothers think?"
Immortals and demons, Ling Xuan has not been in contact for a long time, he doesn't understand very well, he doesn't know how to answer when he hears the words, he looks into the distance, his handsome face is slightly pale. After a long journey, he was already exhausted, and from time to time he pursed his lips and coughed lightly, which disturbed the two of them very much. His sword eyebrows were slightly raised, his big pure eyes were full of worry, the wind gusted, and his long black hair was raised, as if he was dancing lightly in the wind, and his emaciated body stood in the wind, which made people worry.
Jingchen clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, what Senior Sister Shangguan said is very true. The thousand-year-old fox demon has a vicious heart and evil methods, and the local elite young villagers have all been arrested by her to absorb the essence of the essence, practice the evil skill of harvesting yang and replenishing yin, and lose their lives in vain. Of the hundreds of people in Xiaohe Village, there are only orphans, widows, old and weak women and children, no one to cultivate the land, no one to master the family, and it is indeed miserable. ”
Shangguan Bingyu said: "Fang is down today, the immortal path is thriving, the evil demons and demons all avoid its edge, and there are very few people left who cultivate demons and demons." As far as I know, among the remnants of the Demon Sect, Feng Jiuniang, the leader of the Ji Illusion Sect, is cultivating the evil technique of collecting yang and replenishing yin, could it be that this thousand-year-old fox demon has anything to do with that Ji Illusion Sect?"
Suddenly hearing 'Feng Jiu Niang', Ling Xuan's heart twitched a few times, Feng Jiu Niang, Feng Jiu Niang...... This is a name that is deeply imprinted in his heart and cannot be erased, it is she, united with the rest of the Demon Sect, and destroyed the Two Extremes Sect. At that time, although Ling Xuan was young, he had a few names firmly in mind: Tu Killing Heaven, Feng Jiu Niang, Ghost Lotus, Red Ghost King, Yin Sha, and Leng Feiyan.
Now that he suddenly heard the three familiar words of 'Feng Jiuniang', the past climbed into his heart one after another, the white shadow, the heart-warming voice and smile, as if they had all returned to his eyes, Ling Xuan's heart ached like a knife.
Jingchen didn't notice Ling Xuan's changes, and after a little thought, he felt that Shangguan Bingyu's words were quite reasonable, and asked, "The Ji Illusion Sect is thousands of miles away from here, why did it appear here to kill the villagers?"
Shangguan Bingyu faced the two of them, but he found that Ling Xuan's face was abnormal, and the cough, although he had deliberately lowered it, he was still so disturbing. She looked at him and said, "Senior Brother Ling, you, are you okay?"
Ling Xuan shook his head at her and said, "Thank you Senior Sister Shangguan for your concern, I'm not in the way." ”
Red Feather squatted on his shoulder, and a pair of bird's eyes looked at Shangguan Bingyu vigilantly. Its feathers are flaming red, without any blemishes, and its bird's eyes are agile and psychic. When I first saw it, Shangguan Bingyu showed that she liked it very much, and wanted to get close to it several times, but Hongyu was always a little hostile to her for some reason, not only did she not let her get closer, but even when Shangguan Bingyu showed that she wanted to come over and touch it, it glared angrily.
Shangguan Bingyu is beautiful and moving, generous and decent, I don't know why Red Feather made such a strange move. Ling Xuan thought to himself: Maybe she was wearing the same red clothes as it.
Shangguan Bingyu nodded and said, "In that case, let's go into the village early, I think, it will rain soon." ”
Seeing that the wind was getting louder and louder, and the dark clouds were getting denser, the two nodded in agreement.
When the three of them came to Xiaohe Village, there was not a single villager in the village who stayed outside, and the doors of their homes were closed, and they were indescribably deserted.
The three of them stood in the village, looking around for a while, seeing that the heavy rain was coming, Shangguan Bingyu proposed: "Two junior brothers, seeing that the heavy rain is coming, why don't we find a family to rest for one night, and then go to the fairy fox cave to collect the thousand-year-old fox demon after the weather improves tomorrow, okay?"
The two nodded in agreement and said, "Just follow the words of Senior Sister Shangguan." ”
At that moment, the three of them stepped forward and knocked on the door of a family, but no one answered for a long time. Just when the three of them thought that this was a lonely house, and wanted to turn around and leave to look for its house again, the thin wooden door creaked softly, and opened from the inside out, and the three turned their heads to look, and saw a handsome woman standing at the door, with a panicked look on her face.
The woman was about thirty years old, dressed plainly, and had a beautiful appearance, seeing that it was a weak young man, a little monk, and a woman who looked like a fairy standing in front of her house, with a kind smile on her face, she couldn't help but feel relieved, and asked, "I don't know what happened to the three of you?"
Jingchen took a step forward, folded his hands, and explained his intention after reciting the Buddha's name. After hearing this, the woman's face turned happy, and she hurriedly invited the three of them into the house, and said, "It turns out that the master is a senior monk sent by the Wuliang Temple to collect demons for us, and the three of you please come in quickly." ”
Immediately, the three of them entered the house. The house is not big, there are two small courtyards in the front and back, the front yard is the living room and the master bedroom, and the back yard is the utility room and two living rooms.
The woman's life was very simple, there was no extra furniture in the house, and the living room, which was about ten feet long and wide, had only a square wooden table, which was old and discolored, and it was obviously a few years old.
The woman beckoned the three of them to sit down at the table, and after serving tea warmly, she said, "If you are poor at home and neglect, I hope the three immortals will forgive me!"
Ling Xuan hurriedly saluted: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!"
Shangguan Bingyu pursed his lips and took a sip of hot water and asked, "I don't know what my sister-in-law is called, are you the only one in the family?"
The woman's face turned sour, and she said, "If the three of you don't mind, just call the concubine and call the Chen sister-in-law." ”
At that moment, Sister-in-law Chen slowly told the matter. It turned out that Chen's sister-in-law was originally a family of three, and although their lives were poor, the family lived in harmony, and the husband and wife respected each other like guests and enjoyed each other. A month ago, her husband Chen Erwa suddenly disappeared, more than a month did not return home, no news, I don't know whether it is life or death, the villagers all said that he was captured and eaten by monsters, Chen's sister-in-law did not want to believe it, worried every day, and looked forward to her husband returning home safely as soon as possible.
The Chen family, except for the two small mouths, has an eighty-year-old father, and the family relies on Chen Erwa to hunt in the mountains for a living, and he suddenly disappeared, pushing the family's life to a dead end. Ten days ago, Chen Erwa's eighty-year-old father, because he was worried about his son's safety, could not afford to be ill, and passed away.
As Sister-in-law Chen spoke, she began to sob, her voice sad and mournful.
After listening, Ling Xuan's heart was unbearable, and he felt a sense of pity for Sister-in-law Chen, and at the same time, her words also evoked his memories of the past, he was also suffering the pain of losing his relatives like this, and he could deeply understand Sister-in-law Chen's mood at this time.
Jingchen clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, this demon has done a lot of evil, and the little monk will not be able to spare her!"
Sister-in-law Chen suddenly knelt down and sobbed: "I still hope that the master will make the decision for the concubine and the villagers of Xiaohe Village!"
Jingchen suddenly panicked, hurriedly reached out to help her up, and said: "Good, good, it is the duty of the little monk to kill demons and eliminate demons." Please rest assured that the three of us will definitely ambush the demon and give justice to the villagers. ”
Suddenly, a thunderclap broke the quiet sky, and suddenly it rained heavily, and the howling wind made the lonely hut crumble.
The four of them chatted for a while, and it was already evening, and the rain was still falling. After a simple dinner, Sister-in-law Chen arranged a proper place for the three of them, Ling Xuan and Jingchen lived in the living room on the left side of the backyard, and Shangguan Bingyu lived in the next room.
After several days of hurrying, Ling Xuan was already deeply tired, as soon as the night fell, he fell asleep, Jingchen meditated on the table and chanted Buddha, and gradually entered a better state.
When everyone was worried that the storm would tear the sky apart and fall asleep, a red shadow gently jumped on the low roof, and the raindrops the size of peas were all bounced off when they were three inches away from her, and they couldn't even hit her body, I don't know what magical power she had. She looked left and right, and the whole world was shrouded in darkness, and the sound of rain and whirring wind seemed to have no end.
The red shadow leaped slightly, piercing the night sky, heading towards the endless darkness of the south, and in an instant it was hidden by the darkness and the raindrops.
