"Fox demon! Don't hurt people!" The young monk shouted, and immediately raised his tin stick and used a light blade at her. The fox teardrops on Luo Feiya's head restrained her, and there was no way to use her strength. Seeing that the light blade was about to pierce her body, she suddenly fell to the ground when her arm was pulled. The light blade hit behind her, shattering a piece of dust.
Sweat was already oozing out of Nan Mu's hands, and he held her tightly. If it weren't for worry and ran out to look for her, she would have been injured in the situation just now! But no matter how Lophia can take care of this, she suddenly stood up: "I have never hurt anyone, but you humans have hurt us again and again!"
"If you don't come to the human world, you won't have entanglements with people." He had released her once before. If she had wanted to kill her, she would have died.
The human world is also the human world! You know, thousands of years ago, humans were not necessarily standing on this land! It is they who invade and occupy the territory one by one, take away the place of residence that originally belonged to them, and drive out all the monsters and all the animals one by one! Now it is said that they came to the human world, but it is their fault! It's ridiculous, human beings are really ridiculous!
Luo Feiya clenched her fists angrily. Nan Muje knew that the situation was not good. If only Shuo Zelian was the only one to say, there was another demon hunter, and there should be other humans around them watching them, and she must leave here early. . He took Rofeya's hand and reminded: "Let's go first, the demon hunter is here, we can't act rashly."
"Do you think I will hurt him?" Luo Feiya shook off Nan Mujie's hand, "Do you think I tried so hard to find him, really for revenge?"
No matter how painful it was, even if it was almost killed because of this stud, she never thought of hurting him in revenge. She tried her best to find him, just to tell him that what he had done almost cost an innocent life! and also…
She stretched out her hand to take off the ear stud directly, and stood in front of him in three steps and two steps. The young monk wanted to stop, but Luo Feiya took the first step to pierce the stud into Shuo Zelian’s earlobe. .
A trace of blood slid down and splashed on the collar of the shirt that was erected. Shuo Zelian didn't move. He stood in a daze, looking at Lofia, who almost hated him. Her blood-red eyes are like a wolf in the wasteland, slender and sharp, and cold fingers firmly grasped his collar: "Return this ear stud to you! Give it back together with the pain you hurt me sixteen years ago. You! I won't appear in this city again, and you demon hunters don't have to worry!"
Luo Feiya turned around and was about to leave, and three rays of light suddenly shot down from the distant wall, directly blocking their way.
The other demon hunters who were hiding in the dark and keeping watch on them had stood on the fence, the sky was constantly shining with thunder and lightning, and the big raindrops crashed down and splashed the mud.
Lophia was standing in the rain, with three light barriers blocking her inside. In the dark, a middle-aged man fell from the sky holding a gun. He jumped behind the young monk and stretched out his hand to tear off his robes. A blood-red phoenix was reflected on his back. The wings stretched out clearly, as if burning. The fire is hot and bright red.
"It's Suzaku," the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly, letting go of his hand and uttered a little displeasedly, "The abbot should not send a child to carry weapons."
It is not that he does not trust the abilities of this child. All those who can become a demon hunter have great determination. However, transporting weapons requires a very high price. Just like the summoning phrase "Your body and my body, Your death and my death", they attach to humans and live on human flesh and blood until the end of the battle. If they fail in battle, then the weapon transporter will also perish with them. And the soul of the weapon will return to the temple view, re-repair, forget everything before, and be reborn in Nirvana.
Therefore, he feels distressed, letting such a young child carry such a dangerous weapon, if this battle is defeated, his life will also be lost.
The young monk heard what he meant, and raised his head. The rain slid down the tip of his nose to the corner of his mouth. The corner of his mouth opened slightly, and he let out a sigh of relief: "I was born to live for the hunting of monsters, even if I lose my life. , Also do not hesitate."
Just like his dead parents, on this damp land, they exhausted all their strength to fight the monsters, and finally defeated, fell, and blood was dripping all over the ground. Maybe they were just like him at that moment, falling to the ground, reaching out to grab the sky, but only rain fell on their palms.
is it? The middle-aged man's hand dropped suddenly, and the gun in his hand was aimed at Lophia: "Kill her."
Kill her, kill her... Shuo Zelian widened his eyes suddenly, and he looked at him in disbelief: "Kill her? Why kill her, she never hurt us humans!"
"She will hurt humans sooner or later! She is the Kyuubi who absconded from the "Shan Hai Jing" 16 years ago. Once she indulges her, the world will be overwhelmed." The middle-aged man was ready to pull the trigger, and he told the young monk, " Drive Suzaku immediately, before she turns into a real body!"
If you want to drive Suzaku, you need Suzaku's eyes. The young monk raised his head and looked at Shuo Zelian’s earlobe. There was an ear stud that had just been pierced by the fox demon. The ear stud was still stained with red blood: "Master Shuo, give me your gem. We need the power of the gem. Drive Suzaku."
It was raining all the time. At this moment, Shuo Zelian couldn’t hear a word. He only saw Luo Feiya’s red eyes because of her anger. The dog monster standing next to her kept pulling her, hoping she would hurry. Leaving, and the young man in the robes stretched out his hand to him, as if he was asking for something, but he couldn't hear what he was saying... It seemed that the surrounding voices suddenly disappeared, and even his vision was a little blurred.

On the grass blades by the feet, a few round rain and dew slid down and splashed to the ground. The ripples in the puddle spread one after another, reflecting several thin figures. Shuo Zelian was in it. His silver-black hair was tightly attached to his face, and the studs on his ears became extraordinarily red. In this rainy day when the sun was blocked by dark clouds.
It's like sixteen years ago, a pair of warm hands led him through the endless street, and crystal clear water drops on the transparent umbrella.
"Lian, happy birthday." The voice was soft, like a piece of soft yarn, wrapped around his ears, he raised his head, holding his woman holding an umbrella, with a warm smile on her face, "After buying the cake, I want to Stay home and wait for me to come back."
"When will mother come back?" He pulled her tightly. The woman reached out and brushed his hair: "I will be back soon..."
Soon... But, until the sky fell, until there were sharp shouts and crying outside, he did not wait for her. It was also a rainy day. The big raindrops hit the glass window. When my father received a call, he suddenly froze. He had never scolded anyone before, and for the first time he kept cursing in front of the phone: "You guys. Said that she would be guaranteed her safety! You said that she would not have trouble! Now what are you telling me? Tell me that she had an accident? Tell her that she was in the hospital? I warn you, if my wife has any shortcomings, I will Let all you demon hunters be buried with you!"
After the phone was hung up, his father opened the door and left, leaving him alone, watching the rain outside the window keep falling on the glass. The candles on the cake were about to burn out, the trees in the back garden were constantly swaying, countless leaves were spinning in the air, and even some plastic bags covered with soil were blown away.
He opened the door and walked out. The sky was dark and gloomy, and there was a strong smell of blood in the distance. He desperately rushed into the rain and ran forward. I don't know how long he ran, or how many times he fell. Suddenly, he stopped and looked at a transparent umbrella in the sky, constantly rolling and swaying. The surrounding colors seemed to change to black and white in an instant, only the bright red blood on the umbrella was very vivid.
At this moment, the scarlet was replaced by the hatred in her eyes, and the fox demon stood a few meters away from her. She looked at them angrily, her eyes as red as the original blood.
"Master Shuo, give me your ear studs!" Seeing Shuo Zelian motionless, the young man in the robes was slightly anxious. He also did not expect that the little fox demon would be a nine-tailed fox at the time, and he did not expect that the Vermillion Bird's eye was actually worn on the fox demon from the beginning. Fortunately, the fox demon returned afterwards, but Shuo Zelian was like that. Lost, no matter how many times he called him, there was no response.
Nan Mujie knew that the situation was not good, and if you stayed here again, even if You Xuan rushed over, he might not have saved them. And the Vermilion that they kept saying in their mouths, could it be the four great ancient beasts Vermilion? It is said that the star bird, the bird is the Suzaku, the southern lodge... That is the god of the south, the Holy Spirit with powerful power. These demon hunters want to use Suzaku as a weapon to attack them, and they can't escape!
"Enchantment!" The palm of his hand suddenly opened, and a pale yellow enchantment stretched out in front of the demon hunter. Nan Mujie tightened Luo Feiya's hand, no matter what the situation was, she walked out of the woods at the fastest speed. The demon hunters following behind were worried that they would run away, and temporarily ignored the Suzaku's Eye, and hurriedly pursued Luo Feiya. Only Shuo Zelian remained in place, drenched in the rain.
Nan Mujie did not dare to let go, nor did he dare to stay for a moment. The surrounding wind whirled, countless fallen leaves shuttled around in my ears. The demon hunter behind him followed very closely, as long as he stopped for a while, he would be caught.
"Fiya, let's go to the patriarch of the rat clan!" It's all because he didn't notify You Xuan in advance this time, and now only Lianyue's grandfather can save them. It’s just that he doesn’t know whether the Rat tribe people are willing to save them. Originally, the Rat tribe and the Fox tribe didn’t have much contact. The two tribes were still enemies thousands of years ago (because the Fox tribe was eating rats at that time). Difficult, there are so many demon hunters behind them, are they afraid to save them
Thinking of this, the pace slowed down unexpectedly. The demon hunter behind him was about to catch up. Nan Mujie gritted his teeth and suddenly led Luo Feiya into a lake behind the library. The surrounding water rushed up, overwhelmingly trying to submerge them, and there seemed to be some sound in my ears, screaming constantly, screaming heartbreakingly... "Give it back to me, give it back to me, Nine Tails! Give me back! 'S child... Give it back to me!"
Fingers covered Luo Feiya’s eyes, and a burst of light flashed from between her fingers. Luo Feiya pushed her palm away and looked at it. Amidst the color of water, Nan Mujie’s golden hair gradually turned brownish red. The same face as hers, the same eyes as hers, the same ears as hers... He has completely become another her.
Holding her hand tightly, Nan Mujie's transparent lips trembled: "Follow me."
Follow me... Before Luo Feiya had time to react, suddenly her whole body was lifted out of the water. There were countless bullets coming towards them. Nan Mujie hugged her and turned around. Those bullets passed between his hair and only a little bit hit him!
"Go!" After avoiding the bullet, he took her and jumped quickly to the opposite bush. A group of demon hunters followed quickly to follow, and the middle-aged man holding a gun paused slightly. Two nine tails? It seems that in order to protect her, the kennel has changed himself into her appearance.
The school wall is coming soon, Nan Mujie pushed Luo Feiya from behind and pushed her to the top of the wall: "Leave here! Hurry up!"
Luo Feiya couldn't stand her feet, fell from the fence and fell onto the road outside. Before she got up, there was a bright light from the wall behind her, only the sound of countless bullets hitting the wall, and the rustle of leaves moving with the wind.
"Hurry up..." Nan Mujie's words flashed across her mind at this moment. She stood up and ran across the street without thinking at all. The light behind her continued to flicker, and the air was already filled with light. The smell of blood... Wait, the smell of blood? She was taken aback for a moment, stretched out her hand and touched her back, where she had been pushed by Nan Mujie. She stretched her palm to the front, and she saw a blood red!
three
he is hurt? It was the bullet that hit him just now, so was he injured? But he took her to escape without saying a word, and even pushed her against the wall so hard... After she shed so much blood, the injury would definitely not be lighter. Nan Mu Ji... Nan Mu Ji! She turned back abruptly and ran in the direction of the school.
The dark clouds in the sky became denser, the city lights flickered on and off on both sides, and the floor tiles of the sidewalk under my feet were raised one by one, and a little accidentally stepped on the empty space, splashing a piece of silt.
Seeing that the school wall was approaching, I suddenly heard a loud noise, the whole wall collapsed suddenly, and a burst of smoke came in. She stretched out her hand to cover her face, and when the smoke cleared, the one who pretended to be her and risked her life to stay behind The boy had fallen to his feet, his back was blood-red, and there was even a short arrow stuck in his shoulder.
He never complained, never said a word of pain, and always followed behind her willingly... No matter how willful she was, how unreasonable or scolding, he never left once... Sometimes he felt wronged, but he still followed closely behind him. ; Sometimes I travel thousands of miles to rescue soldiers, but I still have to be called a traitor... I am afraid of thunder, but I want to run out to save her. No matter what time... he will be by his side and will never leave...
-Feiya, I think that person seemed to recognize us just now, will he know that we are actually monsters
-Feiya, you are already injured, we can deal with them next time, let's go now.
—Fiya has worked so hard, it will definitely be possible.
-Feiya, go! Get out of here, hurry up!
Always yelling "Fiya, Fiya", always follow behind him foolishly, always jump out to protect her at the most dangerous moment... Has he not considered his own safety? Even after he was so badly injured, did he still want to help himself escape
"Nine-tailed!" The demon hunter noticed Lophia standing outside the wall, they immediately became vigilant, and the weapons in their hands pointed at her. Luo Feiya stood fearlessly in the rain, even if these weapons could immediately pierce her body, she was fearless... step by step forward, step by step towards Nan Muji! The fox's teardrops in the hair seemed to become hot. They struggled as if they were about to burst, trembling desperately, making a sharp sound.
The slender fingers grabbed the red rope, and when the demon hunter’s bullet came, the red rope in his hand was suddenly torn off, and the two fox teardrops fell to the ground with a "click" and broke into pieces. .
Nine red foxtails bloomed behind him like a lotus flower, and a lightning bolt struck the sky in an instant. The memory that was temporarily sealed was like an overwhelming ocean wave, suddenly swept into his mind.
—You deceived me, right
-Yes.
—You are a demon hunter, so... You want to kill me, don't you
—No, I...
—I trust you so much...
I am so so... trust you!
"The seal of the fox's teardrop has been unlocked, and now we must summon weapons! Otherwise, we..." The middle-aged man holding the gun tightly frowned. Otherwise, all our demon hunters will die here, just like the Qiqiang who was angry 16 years ago. The power of the nine-tailed fox is even higher than that of Qiongqi. Qiongqi is one of the four evils. The nine-tailed fox follows the white rabbit, toad, and the three-legged golden crow alongside the throne of the West Queen. She is not a fox demon, but a fox. Sin! The power of the fairy surpasses the monster beast.
With a move of the buddha beads in the hands of the young monk, it flew directly into the eyes of the Suzaku on his back. As long as another Suzaku's eye appeared, the weapon could be driven, but the young master of the Shuo family...
He turned back anxiously and ran back, only to find that Shuo Zelian was no longer where he was. If he didn't get the earrings now... I would have known that even if I grabbed the earrings, I had to get the earrings! Now, where will Shuo Zelian go? Wait, it won't be... the library!
The stairs on the sixth floor of the library are right in front of you, and the librarian is still patrolling on the third floor. Since Shuo Zelian knew that the sixth floor is the "Shan Hai Jing", and he saw a huge monster running out of it. , He never sneaked up again, and the librarian was relieved that he no longer saw the sixth floor so strictly, but he did not expect that he would come here again at this moment a few days later.
"Shan Hai Jing", this book depicting a large number of ancient beasts and all-encompassing, is there any power in it that would cause these existences that were originally ink and wash without vitality to run out one by one, hurting the real world
Shuo Zelian opened the door. There was no change on the sixth floor. The surrounding bookshelves were all empty. There was a book on the platform in the middle, lying flat. The light from the skylight shrouded the whole book, as if Was smeared with a strange color. He walked step by step and stepped on the stone steps. The book was right in front of his eyes. He could clearly see the words on it and the patterns of the paintings. It is this thing that my mother has guarded for her entire life... It is also this thing that takes her mother away from her forever.
If it can be destroyed...
"Destroy it, the things your mother's family has guarded for a lifetime will be destroyed." Suddenly a voice came from behind. He turned his head abruptly and saw the blond man standing by the door, wearing a suit, blue. The pupils of the eyes gleamed slightly, "Your mother gave so much, are you willing to destroy it?"
Shuo Zelian clenched his fists suddenly: "You deceived me! It was not Lophia who killed my mother, it was another demon Qiongqi!"
"So what! Qiongqi and the nine-tailed fox are the same! The Luo Feiya that you keep shouting is the nine-tailed fox. She will harm humans as well as upset the world!" Zheng Linchen increased his voice. Reached out to him, "Give me Suzaku's Eye!"
Shuo Zelian remained motionless, Zheng Linchen frowned: "If the strange animals in these books are not sealed in, the consequences will be unimaginable! Let me tell you one more thing, they actually existed in this world thousands of years ago, but Later, humans continued to occupy their lands and hunted them, eventually making these alien beasts extinct. Now there is only this book left. If you destroy this book at this moment, they will no longer appear in it. In this world."

"I can't appear in this world anymore..." These words echoed in his ears over and over, Shuo Zelian stared at the yellowed sheet of paper, and a strange beast was lying curled up on it next to him. It is the details outlined with a brush, including where you live, how it was born, and what it does. Obviously, they are just dead objects drawn with pen and ink. Why can they get out of the book
"What the hell is it?" With a trembling of his lips, Shuo Zelian raised his head to look at Zheng Linchen. Zheng Linchen shrugged his shoulders: "Which one are you asking? Are you asking the monsters from the book, or this book?"
"You know what I'm asking! It's just a dead thing, it's just a book, why can they come out of the book? Didn't these monsters die millions of years ago? Since they are dead, even if they are compiled It's impossible to survive when it's finished! What is this "Shan Hai Jing"! What are the monsters that ran out of the book!" Shuo Zelian increased his voice.
Zheng Linchen's laughing face finally sank, and his gaze slowly moved to the "Shan Hai Jing" placed on the platform: "It's just an ancient book, and these pictures of strange animals are just a part of it."
"It's just an ancient book, but there is a monster running out of it! You guard it, but don't know why it has such power? If so, it is better to destroy it immediately! As long as it is destroyed, it will not appear. With so much trouble, no monsters will run out of it!" When he thought of his mother's death because of this book, and the look in Lophia's hatred of him, Shuo Zelian clenched his fist.
Destroy... Oh, why Zheng Linchen didn't want to destroy this book. But after keeping things for so many years, how can it be said that destruction will be destroyed? It's like a flower that you have cultivated so hard, when it is in full bloom, you can't reach out to destroy it anyway... What's more, once it is destroyed, it is equivalent to the destruction of the whole world...
Seeing Zheng Linchen not speaking, Shuo Zelian stretched out his hand to take out the "Shan Hai Jing", and he was about to hit the cover. Zheng Linchen rushed up in three steps and two steps and grabbed his wrist: "Are you crazy? Don't remember. The monster that was summoned when you touched it last time? Almost destroyed the entire library! Once the contents of these books have absorbed the popularity, they will be transformed into shape!"
"That's why I asked you why this book has such an ability, why the monsters in this book will come out of it as soon as they touch it! If you refuse to say, I have to personally check to see what it is. What is he capable of!" Shuo Zelian's stubbornness finally made Zheng Linchen intolerable. He grabbed Shuo Zelian and forcibly pulled him outside. The librarian happened to run up from below, and when he saw Shuo Zelian, his head immediately widened: "Oh, my ancestor, didn't you say you are not coming? Why did you sneak in again?"
"Uncle Zong, you should be optimistic about him, don't let him enter the sixth floor." Zheng Linchen let go, and the person named Uncle Zong immediately dragged Shuo Zelian down, and he was still struggling along the way. Life and death refused to leave: "I don't know for one day, I won't give you the Suzaku's Eye for one day!"
Shuo Zelian slammed his hand away from Uncle Zong. Zheng Linchen lowered his face. He wanted the Eye of the Vermillion Bird to make a deal with the demon hunters. The demon hunters' weapons could kill the nine-tailed fox or just seriously wound her. If Suzaku's Eye is in his hand, at least he can guarantee that Rophia will return to the book instead of dying outside. He raised his head and glanced at Shuo Zelian, who was standing in front of him, and moved his eyes to his ear. There was a very beautiful light red earring, but it seemed to have just been pierced into the earlobe, and faint blood can be seen below.
This is the Suzaku's eye he wants!
"Do you really want to know about the "Shan Hai Jing"?" Zheng Linchen lowered his eyes. He knew that if he didn't tell him, with Shuo Zelian's character, he would definitely not hand over this ear stud.
Standing on the opposite side, Shuo Zelian clenched his fists: "I just want to know the truth!"
"Sixteen years ago, the first mountain range in the West, Huashan Mountain, was centered on Shanqian, two hundred and sixty miles west of the mountain. There was a huge landslide there, and then the whole mountain. It disappeared and was razed to the ground. It was at that time that we were hunting for the strange animal Qiongqi that escaped from the "Shan Hai Jing". Because we could not bring it back into the book, we painted that page with its characteristic features. The pages of the book were burned to the point that the entire Yunshan Mountain was destroyed. The place where Qiongqi is located is the Yunshan Mountain, where it grows and lives, and although it is a fierce beast, it is also the owner of the land. We humans possess it. Many forests and mountains, those places used to be the residences of alien animals. Once the "Shan Hai Jing" is destroyed, these once-occupied lands will disappear with the disappearance of the alien animals, and the earth will become riddled by then. With a hundred holes, the world will be in chaos." Zheng Linchen let out a sigh of relief and turned to look at the book still placed on the platform. "Humans need these lands, and they would rather bear the charge of killing innocent people and seize them. . And we can only guard these strange beasts for the sake of human desire and ambition."
Fives
Once they are completely destroyed, then the human world... will also be destroyed.
—As humans began to cut down trees, encroach on forests, and fill ponds, rivers and lakes, etc., the monsters that once prospered for a while lost their homes and eventually all became extinct. Here, this "Shan Hai Jing" is a picture book left by people at that time, with many famous monsters painted on it.
-The strange beasts in these books existed in this world thousands of years ago, but later humans continued to occupy their land and hunted them, eventually making these strange beasts extinct.
-I have never hurt anyone, but you humans have hurt us again and again!
These words popped into his mind one by one, and Shuo Zelian suddenly understood...understanding why Luo Feiya had such eyes. Perhaps a long time ago, she had already begun to hate human beings, and this incident that happened when she was a child was just an introduction that aroused all the hatred and anger in her heart.
Yes, she has never harmed human beings, but they... They always hurt her again and again! Hurt these innocent monsters!
The earrings on the earlobes seemed to become more reddish. Standing on the library stairs, Shuo Zelian's voice seemed a little dumb, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't make a sound. Zheng Linchen stretched out his hand towards him: "Now as agreed, give me what the demon hunter needs."
"You... want to kill Luo Feiya, don't you?" Shuo Zelian finally raised his head after hearing the words "Monster Hunter".
Zheng Linchen said: "I just brought her back to the Book of Mountains and Seas. After all, I don't want to see a piece of land disappear silently. Besides, it is the responsibility of our book-keeping people to protect the Book of Mountains and Seas. My responsibility is not. Kill her, but guard her."
After a long silence, Shuo Zelian finally removed the red earrings from the earlobes. Before handing them to him, his hands were still hanging in the air: "Can the demon who returned to the book come out again?"
"Naturally, there are monsters that ran out twice in a row from "Shan Hai Jing", but that monster did not seem to be very capable, and was later captured and returned... Why, I can't bear the nine-tailed fox?" Zheng Linchen said slightly. Ascending, Shuo Zelian threw the ear studs into his palm: "Nonsense!"
He twisted his head and went downstairs. Zheng Linchen was still standing there, and the uncle Zong next to him shook his head: "You don't have to arouse him, he was going to give you these ear studs."
"I didn't arouse him," Zheng Linchen said calmly, "I just want to remind him that monsters are always monsters, and the relationship between humans and monsters, whether it is friendship or family affection, should not exist. Because Demons are beasts. They do not have morals and ethics like human beings. Once they become mad, they will hurt everyone."
As soon as the earrings were collected, he disappeared on the library stairs in an instant.
The young monk who was chasing over came across Shuo Zelian at the entrance of the library, and hurriedly stopped him: "Master Shuo, your earrings..."
"Here with me." A soft call came over from the sky, Zheng Linchen hung in the air and jumped down from a place more than ten meters high. He spread his hand and laid it flat in front of the young monk, "I can give it to you, but I have one request-I can't kill her, I want to bring her back to the book."
The young monk frowned slightly: "Sixteen years ago, it was because you wanted to catch that strange beast alive, that caused so many people to die."
"No way, my duty is to guard this book. If you don't want to deal with Nine Tails, you don't have to agree to my request." Zheng Linchen replied very easily, with a curved line rising from the corner of his mouth.
With a "pop", the young monk stretched out his hand and took the earrings and turned his head indifferently: "As you wish. But there is only one chance. If you hurt her seriously, you will not be able to bring it back to the book. The second time I Killed her."
Zheng Linchen smiled: "That's natural."
If he was seriously injured for the first time and there was no way to subdue Kyuubi, then no matter how hard he tried, there would be no way to subdue her. Because the conquering power of the book-keeping clan can only be used once for the same strange beast, unless those strange beasts voluntarily return to the book, there is no way to control them.
