The spoon immediately slanted at him, and Xin Niang lifted her leg and kicked, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhse big! Disappear!" , "Xin Niang is mighty and domineering."

"But boss... We really didn't see any beasts on it."

Shaozi frowned suspiciously: "I'll ask the scholar."

After all, she jumped directly onto the window sill on the second floor, laying on the edge of the window and preparing to climb in. Anyway, she couldn't be a weak scholar, maybe she was a loose fairy who liked to play tricks on others, she wasn't afraid to scare him.

Jumping inside, seeing the mist steaming again, she waved her hand to brush a path, and muttered: "I can't take a bath again."

There was a sound of water behind the screen, and he hesitated for a moment: "Spoon?"

The scholar was about to get up and get dressed so that she wouldn't come over again, who would have thought that a head would poke out as soon as he got up halfway, and he had no choice but to go back into the tub again. It's not that there is a single tendon missing, it's clearly that two tendons are missing...

Shaozi didn't know at all, but was she dazzled just now, why did she seem to see that the scholar was not as thin as he looked at all, and even had chest muscles, so she really wanted to pinch them.

When the scholar saw her rolling her eyes, she didn't know what she was thinking. Against the background of clouds and mist, it was simply... bright and incomparable: "Spoon, spoon?"

The spoon came back to his senses: "Huh?"

The scholar smiled wryly: "No one told you that men and women can't kiss each other? It seems... inappropriate for you to come in while men are taking a bath."

The spoon is serious: "I won't do anything to you, don't worry."

The scholar's eyebrows twitched, he was clearly afraid that he couldn't help but attack her, okay!

Thinking about the business, Shaozi brushed off the mess in his head: "Shopkeeper, what is that talisman, and why is it only me who can see it?"

"Oh... In ancient times, there were many monsters causing chaos and harming the common people, and then someone subdued them, sealed them in a spell, and drew them when needed, and the person who painted them naturally became its master, even here Around you, if you don’t want it to hurt anyone, it will also sense it. And this one is called Pixiu, which can gather the demonic energy. If it is within the range of Pixiu’s protection, no matter how hard it is, the demonic power will not be weakened.”

The spoon swallowed: "That is to say, if you meet a very powerful opponent, no matter how you fight against the opponent, you will remain the same and won't waste half of your demon power?"

The scholar smiled lightly: "A child can be taught." After finishing speaking, he saw the spoon whimpering on the edge of the barrel, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?"

Shaozi was heartbroken: "I should beat up those two groups of people who came to eat free food today!"

The scholar laughed uncontrollably: "There will always be a chance." Just after finishing speaking, she saw her staring up again, the light in her watery eyes flickered, forcing him to lean back, his face was already stiff, "Do, what to do. "

"Stupid scholar, how do you know about the scrolls from the ancient times..." The spoon turned pale and retracted, "Could it be that you are a god?"

The scholar smiled and said, "Do I look like me?"

The spoon got up and looked at him carefully, then shook his head decisively: "It's not like."

"..."

Shaozi snorted softly: "No matter who you are, as long as you treat the inn well, you are a good person."

Seeing her striding away, the voice disappeared when it reached the window sill, the scholar covered his face with a warm handkerchief, and muttered: "Actually, the inn is the biggest obstacle..."

Shaozi ran to the roof again to watch the ancient mythical beast. It turned out that it was Pixiu, with a tiger-like head and a long body, painted with cinnabar, with a ruddy body and burning eyes, which really intimidated everyone. She sat aside and poked its paws, which were still soft. She couldn't help being elated, hugged its hooves that were as soft as water but not sinking, and really wanted to keep them by her side all the time.

The moonlight is desolate, and the earth reflected is silvery white. Shaozi yawned, saw two people standing on the roof of the Splendid Inn across the street, rubbed his eyes, and recognized the two people who came to the inn today to ask directions, one fat and one thin. Ears pricked up, the conversation was clear.

"The dragon energy obviously disappeared in this area, so it must have returned to the sky."

"The Dragon Clan is also following them now, how could they go back, they have to give us an explanation."

"That's strange."

The spoon narrowed its eyes, shark? It sounds like the dragon clan is also looking for the dragon god and the little white snake? So the one tall and one short person today belonged to the Dragon Clan? What's worse, she actually deceived two people and offended both black and white. Thinking of this, I trembled anxiously, why don't I hand over the Dragon God and the little white snake!

Suddenly those two eyes looked at him, Shaozi blinked, and a drop of cold sweat quietly fell down his back. She just came up to admire the moon...

She shrank her legs and wanted to leave, but she saw that they were already about to leave and come this way. Shao Shao turned slightly to crawl away, when a figure beside him quietly sat down, raised his arms and hugged her, burying her head in his arms. Whispered in the ear: "Don't move."

The slightly hot breath rushed over, scratching the base of the ear. The spoon didn't dare to move again. Although the identity of the scholar is a mystery, it is reassuring and inexplicably reassuring that he can do things.

After a while there was no movement, the spoon whispered: "Are they gone?"

"They are basking in the moonlight on the opposite side."

"..."

"Shh, the mermaids are crazy about the moon, will they leave soon? You are in the Paixiu formation, they only treat you as a mortal. Ordinary people can't see them, don't stare at them."

"Well..." The spoon left his arms, and the slight warmth dissipated, "Then what are we doing now?"

The scholar smiled: "Appreciate the moon."

… Well, it’s okay to be arty and pretend to be a scholar once in a while. Shao Shao sat with his knees hugged, turning his head to look at the scholar from time to time. The scholar under the bright moon is like a fairy, very handsome and bright, and his heart beats fast: "Shopkeeper, how long will you stay in the inn?"

"Wait until those who want to wait go."

"Oh... so who are you waiting for?"

The scholar hooked his lips: "A girl."

"Tsk." Shaozi shook his head. Just now he felt that he was not a human being, but he was actually a romantic scholar at heart. "May I ask you a question? You are obviously in this way. Why did you water us at noon? It's okay to be burned."

The scholar looked sideways slightly, looked at her for a while, then turned his head and covered his nose, this kind of helplessness that he couldn't even look straight at her for a long time, how could he talk to her heart-to-heart. Sure enough, the influence of that year was too great... Withdrawing my thoughts, I said: "All things have spirits, some of them attained the Tao early, and they are naturally different from other plants and trees. Their own spiritual power is born from yin, and decays due to yang. If you avoid strengths, it will only become more extreme."

The spoon pondered for a long time before tentatively saying, "That is to say, are you helping us balance the yin and yang in our bodies?"

"Ok."

Shaozi finally understood that their monsters like the cold moonlight, and they are vulnerable to staying in the sun for too long, so they always absorb the essence at night and rarely travel during the day. It's no wonder that every time the well water is poured, I feel scalding all over my body, but it doesn't hurt the demon's body.

"And what about the tea you gave me? There must be something in it."

"Take morning dew, mix it with thousand-year-old ginseng whiskers, and boil it for half an hour."

The spoon was stunned for a moment, no wonder he went out every morning, it turned out to be to collect dew. Wait, going to all that trouble to get her a cup of tea? Suddenly felt guilty, and asked with a guilty conscience: "Why are you so kind to me?"

The scholar let out a sigh of relief, was he finally going to pierce the paper on the window, his face was even softer, and his smile was shallow: "What do you think?"
