Early in the morning, before Chaoyang spit, Yunniang came to the yard with a basket of chicken food, and saw a boy with fox ears and tail humming a little tune, sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard with a broom.
"Sanlang is really a good boy, so diligent." Yunniang praised him.
The moment Hu Sanlang saw Yunniang, he subconsciously put away his ears and tail. He has lived in the world for a long time, and he knows that humans are afraid of rejecting their characteristics, which belong to demons.
"When you're at home, Saburo can just stay in the most comfortable way." Yunniang bent down and looked at him, "There are freshly made scallion pancakes in the kitchen. Is Saburo hungry? Do you want to eat some first? "
"I'm not hungry, I'll wait for my mistress to eat with everyone." Saburo said obediently, his fluffy ears popping out to please Yunniang.
Little animals are rarely so well-behaved and sensible, they are often simple and noisy. This child's restraint and obedience were obviously cultivated in the human world, Yun Niang felt a little distressed for him, and reached out to touch his small ears,
"Scallion pancake, I want it, I want it." A little lynx jumped down from the plane tree and circled around Yunniang, "Master, can I use them to roll small dried fish?"
"I know you like to eat, so I prepared the freshly fried dried fish."
Wu Yuan cheered and ran to the kitchen, "Sanlang, Jin Yu, hurry up, come with me."
A string of small footprints appeared out of thin air on the ground beside him.
"Sanlang, let's go too, go eat with Wu Yuan and the others." Yunniang said to the fox boy who was obviously moved but hesitant.
A puff of smoke rose, the broom and leaves fell to the ground, and a little fox chased the lynx on all fours and swiftly.
The gate of the courtyard squeaked, and the young man with long silver hair pushed open the courtyard door with tall firewood on his back in the dawn of the rising sun. He unloaded the firewood from his back, and the large bundle of firewood that was taller than his height was loosely held in his hands, as if it was lighter than a feather.
He saw Yunniang in the yard, bowing in a proper manner and holding the junior salute.
Handsome and polite juniors are always liked. Yun Niang looked at Nan He, who had returned with a full body of dew, and found that his clothes were covered with dust, and there was a scarlet scar that stretched from his shoulders to his neck.
Yun Niang knew that ever since she came back, this little wolf would go to Tianlang Mountain every night and come back with all the scars. In the first few days he was so badly wounded that it was worrying for him. What is distressing is that he always sneaks into the house quietly in the early morning, first hides in the firewood house in the yard, cleans up the wound, changes clothes, and only enters the house with reluctance to clean up.
Fortunately, his condition has gradually improved a lot recently, and he can even spare some energy to catch some firewood or prey on the way home.
"Xiao Nan, is there something you are worried about? Why do you make yourself so scarred every day?" Yunniang asked him.
Nan He put the firewood outside the firewood room, turned around and said in a warm voice, "Miss, I want to become stronger as soon as possible."
"Get stronger?"
"Yes, we're going to the depths of the spiritual world, which is not quite the same as the human world." Nan He was a little embarrassed, "I need to become stronger, okay... Protect Ah Xiang."
This child is different from Wu Yuan and the others. His character is a little shy, and he has a closeness to himself.
What makes Yun Niang feel kind is that although he is a demon, he never excludes himself. No matter what he talks to, he always tells it frankly. It's not just him, the recent Xiang'er, and under the guidance of Xiang'er, Wu Yuan and the frequent visitors, they all began to slowly and more calmly get along with Yun Niang as a demon.
Yun Niang gradually realized that the creatures who once seemed mysterious and distant were not as terrifying as they had imagined. They lived under the same starry sky as herself.
There was a light knock on the door of the courtyard. Looking out from the half-opened door, you could see a young woman dressed in Tsing Yi and holding a pipa outside the door. Behind her, the corner of a man in white robes was faintly exposed. .
"I'll come, I'll come," Yuan Xiang'er ran past Yun Niang's side and ran all the way out the door.
"Master, these are two of my friends who are visiting my house." The girl with flying hair on the temples turned to her while running.
There was soon a conversation at the door.
"Du Shuo, Ah Qing, why are you here? Come in."
"excuse me."
The beautiful and gentle lady and the elegant and handsome man with long hair beside her crossed their hands in salute from a distance.
Yun Niang's vision was a little blurry, and she vaguely returned to the past. Her husband passed by her all the way, opened the gate of the yard, and welcomed the guests into the house.
A young warlock sometimes appeared outside the door, sometimes an old man with gray hair, and some strange creatures loomed behind them, greeting her politely.
At that time, the yard was very lively, and the small animals with special aura were digging in and out. On the dense sycamore tree often rested a big bird with long feathers. The big bird on the branch looked lazily from the branches. Under the wooden floor of the corridor, there are also strange noises from time to time, and occasionally a low voice or two can be heard.
After knowing that Yu Yao had to leave her, Yun Niang once thought that her life would be very lonely and lonely, but because of the existence of this little girl, Xiang'er, the family gradually seemed to be as lively as before.
She still remembered that it was also in such an early spring, Yu Yao stood under the plane tree, turned his head to look at himself, he was twisting the scattered chips in his hands, his face was full of joy, and his eyes were full of dots. Fragmented light, "Ayun, I took a hexagram, and the hexagram said that I seem to have a little apprentice."
He was so happy, "It's strange, even I can't see the trend of this hexagram. This child is very special. With her variable existence, it may bring endless possibilities."
At that time, Yunniang could not understand her husband's excitement, but now she is grateful to her husband for keeping this child in her life. No matter what else, this kind and sensible child who had been kind and sensible since her childhood supported the family stronger and more optimistic than herself after her master left, and cuddled with herself through the initial difficult time.
Yuan Xianger invited Du Shuo and Hu Qing to sit on the table and chair under the plane tree,
She was surprised to find that the chain on Du Shuo's body was gone.
Du Shuo placed a thinned iron chain on the stone table and handed it over to Yuan Xianger.
"I plan to go to the spiritual world with you. It's not convenient to take this with you. In the future... when you send me back, you will return it to Miao Dao, saying that I broke it myself."
The thin chains were piled on the table, and the shocking dark red was solidified. You don't need to think about it to know what Du Shuo went through in order to take it off.
Yuan Xianger's pupils shrank a bit.
"The further you go to the depths of the spiritual world, the more the world of demons and beasts is, which is very different from the human world, and sometimes there are ancient monsters." Du Shuo glanced at Nan He and nodded slightly, "Although Nan He is by your side, I still want to go with you."
He was worried that Yuan Xianger and Nan He would go deep into the spiritual world, explore the dragon cave, and want to follow, so he did not hesitate to pull out the magic lock that restricted his movement.
Nan He said, "You broke this, and when you come back to Miao Dao, I'm afraid he won't let you go easily."
"What can I do if I don't let it go? He only has those methods around him. I've seen them all." Du Shuo said lightly.
Hu Qing's fingers trembled indiscernibly while holding the pipa. She quickly lowered her head and concealed the worry in her eyes.
"I want to go with you too," she said quickly, raising her head, "I have always liked food on earth, I have learned a lot, and I have deliberately studied and prepared these days. I heard that Qinglong likes to eat well. Food, I might be able to help a little too."
Yuan Xianger looked at the bloody iron chain on the table and did not speak.
After a long time, she nodded lightly, "Okay then, I will prepare guest rooms for you, you will stay at my house, and we will leave in a few days."
In front of her, the man with long hair and white robe transformed into a beautiful crane, spread his broad and powerful wings, and floated up to the top of the plane tree.
"This tree has a very comfortable smell. I can rest here without too much trouble."
His voice came from the dense branches and leaves of the sycamore.
Yuan Xianger held her head up under the tree, and through the layers of leaves, she saw the little black and white feathers passing through the gap.
She has understood the kindness of her friend, and at this moment, too many thanks and words are pale, and she only needs to accept it cherishly.
She wrapped the sycamore tree carefully around the sycamore tree and cast the golden arrowhead summoning spell that can heal wounds, and pressed down the spiritual jade with abundant spiritual energy. I hope the pain this friend suffered for her will heal as soon as possible.
After night fell, Yuan Xianger was in the house and heard the beautiful sound of the pipa under the plane tree.
"Aqing is still reluctant to go back to the house to rest." Yuan Xianger lay on the window and called towards the roof, "Are you there, Xiaonan?"
Nan He's silver hair fell from the eaves immediately, revealing his face. He hung upside down and easily jumped down, with his toes on the window sill and one hand on the window lattice, looking down at Yuan Xiang'er.
"It's really nice, I like the sound of Ah Qing's piano now, and I don't want to hear the sad tunes from before." Yuan Xiang'er leaned against the window and looked at the stars in the night sky.
"I like it too." Nan He came down from the windowsill and came to Yuan Xiang'er, "Ah Xiang, are you in a bad mood?"
Yuan Xianger held her chin in one hand and listened to the leisurely sound of the piano in the night, "Before, I heard the story of Du Shuo, and I couldn't bear it, so I helped him, but it was just to take advantage of the situation to solve his temporary danger. What to pay, but he…”
She didn't go on, but Nan He understood.
Although Du Shuo said it easily, but Yi Guoshi's paranoid and vicious personality would not let him go easily. Unless they can cancel their master-servant contract, once Du Shuo returns to Xianle Palace, one can imagine how cruel the days of waiting for him will be.
Because Yuan Xianger planned to enter the Dragon Cave to explore, Hu Qing was busy collecting recipes, Nan He improved his strength day and night, and Du Shuo was not afraid to offend the national teacher, and broke the shackles restricting his actions with his own hands.
These demons, regardless of their likes and dislikes, are always pure and strong.
Yuan Xianger remembered a lot of things, and she released Wu Yuan from the animal trap, Wu Yuan remembered it in her heart for many years, and became her first apostle. She brought back the injured Nan He from the forest, and Nan He gave her his whole being. She extended a helping hand to Du Shuo, who spared no expense, just to protect himself in the spiritual world...
"I won't let him go back again." Yuan Xiang'er said softly.
The ambiguous idea that once followed the trend has become the goal she must achieve after today.
"I don't plan to return him to Miao Dao." Yuan Xiang'er looked at Nan He firmly, "Nan He, do you think I can do it?"
"I think the same as you." Nan He reached out and took her palm, "Let's try it together."
Yuan Xianger likes Nan He like this very much. He didn't say that I did this for you, but asked me to do it for you. Instead, he said that we should go together.
I think so too, let's go together, let's face this together.
This is simply the best love speech in the world, and it means your partner approves of you. He does not regard you as the weak, but treats each other equally, supports each other, and walks hand in hand.
It's amazing to say that Nanhe and she belong to different races, but many times, they don't even need the apostle contract. help each other.
There is something that we all want to do in common.
"Why is it hurt again, the neck is bruised." Yuan Xiang'er stood on tiptoe and looked at Nan He's neck where his collar was exposed.
Nan He stretched out his hand and tugged at the collar, "A little injury..."
However, his sweetheart had already approached, and his neck, which was a little sore, was gently swept by the feathery breath, and immediately became numb.
"I know you want to talk about a little injury, just lick it." The soft voice wrapped around Nan He's ear, "But you can't lick this position, so let me help you?"
The person's tone of voice was sultry, but Nan He could no longer tell what she said. His collar was pulled, and the dear person in front of him kissed his lips. With that deadly tip of the tongue, from the deepest part of my heart, I drew a rich sweet fragrance.
…
Before leaving for the spirit world, an unwelcome guest came to the house.
With a splendid robe and an arrogant expression, it was the young disciple of Miao Dao, Yun Xuan.
When Yuan Xianger was talking to him in the courtyard, Saburo didn't pay attention, and happened to run through the courtyard. Seeing the mage who had chased and killed him, he was so frightened that his limbs slipped and he wanted to find a place to hide.
"Sure enough, this little fox was hidden by you." Yun Xuan's face sank in displeasure.
"Fellow Daoist, Saburo is already my apostle. Did you come to my house on purpose to fight with me?" Yuan Xianger was not afraid of him,
Behind Yunxuan was a young woman wearing a black-brown Hu uniform, who was Yunxuan's apostle.
As the master's mood changed, half of the apostle's face above the eyebrows was instantly covered with white and black feathers, his eyes turned into sharp eagle eyes, and he stared at Saburo fiercely.
Foxes are naturally afraid of eagles, and Saburo couldn't help shaking his hind legs.
A palm stretched out from behind and touched the top of the little fox's head,
"What are you afraid of?" Nan He appeared beside him, touched his head, and glanced at the female eagle.
The apostle remembered the situation when Nan He was strangled and slapped on the ground in one move, and instantly degenerated into a fierce form, hid behind Yun Xuan, and quietly tugged Yun Xuan's sleeve.
Yunxuan remembered the serious business explained by the master, so he had to restrain his temper, and consciously said in a low voice, "It's just a little fox, I'm not here for such a trivial matter."
"Master sent me to ask, now that the spring is warm and the weather is warm, it is a good time to travel. Fellow Daoist agreed to the matter of Master, why hasn't there been any news for so long?"
"This real person, have you ever been to the Dragon Cave?" Yuan Xiang'er sat down at the table unhurriedly.
"That blue dragon's lair is deep in the spiritual world, where... it is not convenient for us to enter." Yun Xuan's face turned slightly red, not only had he never been to the dragon's lair, but he had never even stepped into the edge of the spiritual world. half a step.
Dongxuan Sect was separated from the human world in the spiritual world, and after the human and demon races gradually separated, they killed a small number of demons stranded in the human world. When they acted, they always cut grass and roots, regardless of age, and showed no mercy, so their reputation among demons was very bad. Well, many escaped by chance, and the demons who entered the spiritual world hated them even more.
Therefore, they did not dare to easily enter the territory of demons. The land with abundant spiritual power is completely the territory of demons. There are many powerful and powerful demons living there, and there are even ancient beasts wandering among them. Dao Xianjun rarely gets involved easily.
"You know it's dangerous there. Of course I don't want to lose my life in vain, so I have to do some preparatory work."
Yuan Xianger had been slack at work before, but now she has really made up her mind to get the Spirit Orb. But she had to complain first, she showed Yun Xuan the information she had organized, and counting her fingers, "I want to inquire about the preferences of the dragon clan, the location of the dragon's cave, and prepare enough talismans, magic weapons, etc. , is it that easy? You go back and tell the national teacher, please wait patiently, I will definitely make a trip for him, as for whether it will be successful, then I can't guarantee it."
There was a clever temptation in her words, but Yun Xuan didn't hear it, and replied eagerly: "You must do your best, Master said, as long as fellow Daoists can retrieve the water spirit beads for him, he will be generous. To give a generous gift, our Dongxuan Sect is the authentic sect of the world, and there are countless rare treasures in the sect, don’t you have something you want?”
In this way, Miao Dao's desire to get the Shui Lingzhu may be heavier than he thinks, but he just doesn't know what he is going to do with this bead, and whether he is willing to exchange it with Du Shuo.
"But I don't seem to want anything in particular," Yuan Xiang'er said with a naive and innocent appearance, "and I thought that the national teacher did not have any spiritual treasures around his old man, so why would he really be attached to such a water-repelling bead? , maybe it's just a trial for our juniors to play with?"
"No, you must not think like this. Master, he has spent all his energy for this water spirit pearl over the years, and he attaches great importance to this." Yun Xuan said this, and he couldn't help showing some envious look, " Speaking of which, this matter is a god-given opportunity for you. Master has the ability to penetrate the sky and the earth. I don’t know how many people in this world want to be favored by him. , the secret medicine of longevity, or a peerless magic weapon, I think there is nothing wrong with the master. If you get one or two, it can be said to be of great benefit in terms of cultivation."
"That's fine, I'll do my best." Yuan Xianger seemed to be persuaded.
Miao Dao has the secret medicine of longevity, the peerless magic tool, and the treasures of heaven and earth. All of them can agree to exchange this bead, so an apostle should also be willing.
Yunxuan saw that Yuan Xianger paid attention to his words, and he didn't break the master's entrustment. He was relieved and carefully took out a letter from his bosom, "This is the handwriting of the master, which records some of his understanding of the spiritual world, you Take a look and it might help."
Yuan Xianger took it and compared it with her own notes. The strange thing is that Miao Dao's handwriting looks very familiar to her.
In the master's study, there are many hand-written classics and secrets of various sects. Among them, the secret methods of Dongxuan are the most. Yuan Xianger has been familiar with them since childhood.
It seems that the national teacher and the master really used to be friends, at least they had a very close relationship for a while. Yuan Xianger thought in her heart, he hated demons so much, but he became friends with Master, and he was also a very contradictory person.
On the edge of the spiritual world of Tianlang Mountain, there is a house made of precious stones.
In the courtyard at the moment, the Hydra was holding its neck with four lost heads, and said indignantly,
His remaining five heads said one by one, "It's too much for that little wolf. It's too deceiving." "Look, I didn't bother him, but he came to the door again and again, asking for it. It's not that I have a lot of heads, I'm probably dead in his hands a long time ago." "It will take a long time to grow four heads." "I said a long time ago, you should start as soon as possible, you are not in a hurry, now he It's getting worse and worse." "What should we do now? It's really unfortunate, maybe we have to go back to the era of being ruled by Sirius."
"Hahaha," the misogynist sat cross-legged on the stone table, pointing at him and laughing, "You are so funny, he should chop off eight of your heads and leave only one to look at, so you can It might look better."
"I can't do anything about my old friend, it's definitely not an opponent. I was able to seriously injure him at the beginning, but now I can only be chased by him. I'm convinced of him, and I don't intend to have the fur of Sirius anymore." Sitting at the table with his huge head, drinking hot tea, he took the almond cake that Lou Chun brought him with both hands, "Thank you, this is delicious."
For many demons, strength is the easiest thing for them to recognize, and respecting and admiring the strong is a common knowledge of most demons. Once they recognize the gap in strength, they will immediately change their previous attitude.
"Is this the only way to do it?" Hydra wilted with the teacup in his hands, "Well then, oh my poor heads, just sacrificed in vain."
"It doesn't matter, he has not yet the ability to kill you, at most you can chop a few heads to practice your skills. You should be careful to avoid it. When he passes the corpse separation period, he will no longer need the demon pill to temper his body. It won't be so cruel." Misogynistic Bai Nennen's little feet dangled on the edge of the table and swayed, "Besides, I heard that they are going to the depths of the spiritual world to find that blue dragon."
"Really?" Hydra and the old man became happy, and they celebrated each other, "I hope that Sirius will be swallowed by that greedy dragon soon."
A crane chirping came from the air, and a minnow crane hovered in the air, stopped on a pine tree in the yard, and turned into a young man in a white robe, with long black hair running along the With his shoulders scattered, he stood on the top of the tree and gave a cold look at several people in the courtyard.
"Okay... such a powerful aura." Hydra shivered, "Who is this?"
The old man: "I don't know, I haven't seen it before, it's not a monster in our piece."
At this moment, a majestic giant Sirius descended from the sky, carrying a human girl on his back.
"Mrs. Lou Tai, Ah Yan, I stopped by here to see you." The girl waved hello happily.
The icy eyes of the Sirius who were riding under her turned around and glanced at Hydra and the old man. Their conversation just now was obviously heard.
The entire body of the Hydra shrank in a circle, and the severed necks were inexplicably painful.
