Zhu Xuan nodded, "I heard from the old veterinarian that it was almost the third day after his son's death that their house started to be haunted and strange things happened. First, after eating that night, the old man heard vague rumors in the yard. There was a strange sound. According to the old man’s own description, the sound he heard seemed to be a voice, but when he listened carefully, it didn’t sound like it. The sound flickered, as if many people were whispering together. The old man was curious, He walked out of the house, but he didn't expect that as soon as he walked out, he was knocked to the ground by a gust of cold wind, and the sound disappeared. Later, the old man discovered that after that time, there was an extra lump on his abdomen the size of a bowl. Frostbite, the old man even took off his clothes to show me, it is indeed chilblain.”
"There is such a thing..." I murmured.
Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "However, this is only the first one. The old man told me that after he encountered this strange thing that night, the old couple became terrified and invited monks and Taoist priests, but no one said There is no reason. After that, the old couple wanted to bury their son as soon as possible, so they didn't wait for the first seven, and quickly found someone to send the son's body to the crematorium, thinking that they could escape from the evil spirits. I was entangled. I didn't expect that the strange thing would happen again just after my son was buried."
"What's the weird thing?"
Zhuxuan raised his legs, leaned closer to me, and pretended to be mysterious and said: "Old man, he encountered the same strange thing as his own son."
I opened my mouth wide, "Could it be...?"
Zhu Xuan nodded, "After the son was buried, the old couple didn't encounter any strange things for several days. The old man thought he could relax, so he planned to take a comfortable bath that night. Guess what happened? That's right. , after the old man entered the bathroom naked, he found that the shower could not be turned on. Just when he was wondering and wanted to go out to have a look, he found that the bathroom door was locked and could not be opened. At this time The old man had already realized that something was wrong and called for help loudly. It was because he called for help in time that his wife in the room heard him and rushed over to save his life. When his wife smashed open the bathroom door with a fire extinguisher bottle, I found that the old man was already lying on the ground, his whole body was cold, his lips were purple and he was trembling."
I frowned, "It's scary..."
"And what happened afterwards?" Wen Jiubai who had been silent all this time asked suddenly, "What is this old veterinarian who is haunted by evil spirits going to do?"
"Well." Zhu Xuan suddenly narrowed his eyes and laughed, "The old man told me that they were really forced to do nothing, and they could only continue to look for Taoist monks or something. When I heard him say that , of course I'm going to help people. I'll just say—"
"You know a very reliable demon extermination master with deep knowledge, so you came to me to tell us this story." Wen Jiubai interrupted Zhuxuan, and said helplessly, "Where are you? Bringing the entrustment here, it is clear that the entrustment has been entrusted to the next one for me."
Zhu Xuan said with a smile: "Why, aren't you interested?"
This is the first time I've seen someone playing routines against Wen Jiubai, and I couldn't help but look at Zhuxuan with admiration. When I first met him, I only thought of him as an ordinary boy, but now, it seems that he is clearly a piece of old ginger.
Wen Jiubai shook his head, and looked at Zhu Xuan with a half-smile, "Bai Ze, you... Forget it, I'll take it later. As you expected, I'm really interested. It's just that you don't know when you take it. It's too appropriate, you also know about Taoist Ling Xiao, I won't let it go if I don't investigate it clearly. Bai has already gone to help me get contacts and information, and I don't dare to leave my boss these days Home, if you miss any important information, the loss outweighs the gain."
What? Could it be that Wen Jiubai was already prepared, and even started to investigate the matter of the Taoist priest? I looked at Wen Jiubai in surprise, and the latter gave me a sly smile in return.
The old fox! Since he has already started making preparations, why does he still pretend to be indifferent and cause me to tell him so many heartfelt words! Isn't this deceiving people's feelings!
"That's it." Zhu Xuan thought for a while, and said, "It's fine if you go to investigate Ling Xiao's affairs. How about this, Gu Yu and I will go first and go to the old veterinarian to inquire about the situation and sound the news. It’s not too late to come and see after you’ve finished your work, or have an idea.”
Wen Jiubai narrowed his eyes, "Really? Should I believe you?"
"No. But you trust Gu Yu." Zhu Xuan said with a smile.
Wen Jiubai narrowed his eyes, just like that, he was in a stalemate with Zhu Xuan. The two of them had a smile and a cold face, and when the smell of gunpowder was about to hurt me, a passer-by, Wen Jiubai finally gave up looking at each other and nodded.
"Okay. This is the only way."
Zhu Xuan also seemed to be relieved, and stood up from the chair, "Then it's settled. Without further ado, Gu Yu and I will visit the veterinarian tomorrow morning."
"good."
Seeing that the two finally reached an agreement, I couldn't help breaking into a cold sweat. Watching these two people talk is more nervous than listening to the conversations of national leaders.
So I also stood up, scratching my head embarrassedly, "Then, I should go back to school too... I ran out halfway, if I don't go back and say something, my friends will be worried."
Wen Jiubai nodded. But when I was about to turn around and leave, Wen Jiubai suddenly stopped me again.
"Gu Yu, wait a minute."
I turned around suspiciously, and saw Wen Jiubai took out something from his pocket and handed it to me. I took it and saw that it was a spell painted in vermilion.
"What's this?" I asked looking up.
"It's a talisman written in my blood. Carry it well to keep you safe." Wen Jiubai said softly, "Bring it with you, don't lose it."
Hearing Wen Jiubai speak to me in such a tone, I immediately became embarrassed and put the talisman in my pocket indiscriminately, "Okay, okay, I get it! Why are you so busy."
"Do you really know?"
"I see!" I lowered my head and hurriedly wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, Wen Jiubai grabbed my wrist and pulled me into his arms.
"Let go! What are you doing!" Zhu Xuan is still here! I struggled immediately.
But not only did Wen Jiubai not let go of me, but he locked me even tighter, "Answer me honestly, do you remember?"
Who is this! I stared at him, gritted my teeth and said, "Master Wen, can I remember this, please?"
Wen Jiubai ignored the sarcasm in my words, but nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, this is more or less the same."
"It's almost like you are a big-headed ghost, let me go!"
Wen Jiubai didn't know if it was intentional, and added, "By the way, if that guy named Bai Ze takes advantage of you, tell me right away. I'll let his blood splatter on the spot right away."
"Don't worry!" I finally broke free from Wen Jiubai's shackles with all my strength, and adjusted my collar angrily, "The only one who will take advantage of me is you, a perverted fox!"
Laughter came from behind, Zhuxuan was not only not angry, but also laughed happily.
Soon, Zhuxuan and I left Wen Jiubai's old house. Wen Jiubai didn't even give it away, so he sat on a chair and drank tea leisurely.
"Old fox." I cursed secretly when I walked out of the old house.
"I told you before." Zhuxuan heard my muttering, and said with a smile, "You want to fight the nine-tailed demon fox, you have to be young for thousands of years."
Speaking of this, when I visited the old house from Zhuxuan, I haven't talked to him alone, and now I'm full of questions.
"Zhuxuan, did you know Wen Jiubai before?" I asked.
"Yes, we are old friends." Zhu Xuan said with a smile.
I was even more curious, "How did you know each other?"
"That's a long story. If it is shortened to four words, it will be 'Happy Enemy'." Zhu Xuan said with a smile.
"What's going on?" I hurried two steps, walking side by side with Zhuxuan.
"You also know that I am Bai Ze, a spirit beast in charge of the creatures in the world. As for the nine-tailed fox..." Zhuxuan glanced at me, and said, "I used to be a big monster that harmed the world. So there is a big gap between us. There have been hundreds of battles, big and small. As for me, I have won and lost, but I have never been able to really control the nine-tailed demon fox. On the other hand, he is the same, always trying to kill me, but he has never succeeded."
"That's right." I nodded knowingly, and quickly struck while the iron was hot, "So, you and Wen Jiubai should be very close?"
Zhuxuan glanced at me, pinched my nose, "What? It seems that you want to take the opportunity from me."
I had no choice but to pretend to be stupid and laughed twice, not denying it.
"Well, if you say you are familiar, you are familiar, and you are not familiar." Zhu Xuan thought carefully for a while and said, "After all, as far as I know, after that incident, he can be said to have changed his temperament. I'm starting to help people exorcise demons, and I don't know what this guy thinks."
"That matter?" I keenly caught the key words, "What matter?"
"That's what you know." Zhu Xuan looked at me and said, "Your Mr. Wen was once a troublemaker, making the local people miserable. People live in fear all day long. Don't Talking about those human beings, even I, Bai Ze, can't do anything about him. But later, a very powerful Taoist priest appeared in the crowd, claiming to be Taoist Ling Xiao. Without saying a word, he cast a spell and actually sealed someone There's nothing you can do about it."
"So, the Taoist priest who has been playing tricks behind the scenes is a human?" I asked.
"Of course it's a human being." Zhu Xuan seemed to find my question a bit funny, "If you're not a human being, how could you be a Taoist priest?"
"But you said that even you couldn't control Wen Jiubai at that time, why can this human Taoist..." I hesitated.
"I don't know about that either." Zhu Xuan shook his head, "After all, I wasn't there at the time, and I didn't know how the generation of monster Nine-Tailed Fox was sealed. These were just hearsay. After a long time, the Nine-Tailed Fox There was no news of the Nine-Tailed Fox, and none of the monsters in the mountains knew about it. Later, some people said that he died, and no one cared about the Nine-Tailed Fox anymore. He was just forgotten by the group of monsters. "
