I have a blood fairy pupil

Chapter 19 Homecoming
In view.

A sturdy black dog the size of a calf was lying on the ground in fear, with its huge head buried on the ground, not daring to raise its head to meet Xu Yin's gaze.

Xu Yin looked at the black dog. It was a monster raised by the disciples in the temple. It had not yet reached the ninth level of cultivation, but it could already compete with tigers and leopards, and was extremely ferocious.

With the sound of steady footsteps, Xu Yin raised the ghost fire lantern in his hand, and the fire shone on the person who came, he was a fat old man with a big belly.

"Hey, someone came from the temple. I thought it was someone who knocked on the door early in the morning. The younger brother took the mission from the temple and came to kill that strange brain-eating bird!"

The fat old Taoist walked over with a warm smile on his face, glanced at the Yingui boy rolling and struggling on the ground from the corner of his eye, and said with a smile: "This little devil is so brave, he dares to rush into his junior brother, he doesn't know whether to live or die."

After finishing speaking, the fat old man waved his hand at the lying black dog and yelled, "Heidou."

As the black dog heard its name, its ears twitched for an instant, and then it opened its stinking mouth, pounced on the Yin Gui boy, and bit off the Yin Gui boy's head with one bite.

The ghost ghost boy died in an instant before he could utter a scream, the ghost body dissipated, and the black dog sniffed, and all the ghost energy was sucked away.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yin applauded, "What a ferocious black dog!"

"Brother, what kind of breed is this black dog?"

The fat Taoist shook his head and waved his hands: "It's just the offspring of Bloodfang Dog and Fangou. It's not a good monster. If you're lucky, you can break through to rank nine, otherwise it's just a low-level monster."

"I think the younger brother looks familiar, but have we met?" the fat Taoist asked suspiciously.

Xu Yin smiled and said, "I went to Wudao Mountain from here last year."

"last year?"

The fat Taoist's eyes were puzzled, and then he reacted and said in surprise: "It's actually you!"

"Brother, did you remember this?" Xu Yin asked.

"Nature, nature."

The fat Taoist looked surprised, clicked his tongue in amazement, and said with emotion: "Junior brother is really extraordinary. He started as a handyman Taoist boy and was able to be promoted to an outer disciple within a year. Sure enough, gold shines everywhere."

"Senior brother is too famous, I have to ask senior brother to explain in detail about the brain-eating monster."

"It should be, junior brother came here all night, let's take a seat in the house."

The fat Taoist greeted Xu Yin and walked into the house, made a cup of tea for Xu Yin himself, sat down and said, "I don't know where this brain-eating monster came from. I have eaten several in Xujia Town a few days ago. Young boy, people in the town are hiding now and dare not go out, I went to take a look, the monster is only in the middle stage of the ninth rank, but after all, it is flying in the air, if there is something wrong, it will run away immediately, it is very cunning."

Xu Yin looked at the fat Taoist in doubt and said, "Senior brother is more cultivated than me, so he is helpless against this monster?"

"Hey!" The fat Taoist sighed, patted his leg and said, "I have a problem with it when I was young. This leg can walk normally, but I can't run fast. It also hurt my dantian back then. At that time, I was in the Qi-inducing state. In the later stage, it is still the same after decades, and you can't even fight fiercely, otherwise the dantian will be unbearable."

"It is so!"

Xu Yin frowned slightly.

The fat Taoist said: "But junior brother, don't worry, although I can't take the lead in the battle, it's not a big problem to support from the side, and I can still help a little."

"Then thank you, senior brother."

Xu Yin nodded and smiled, and continued to ask: "Did the monsters continue to appear in Xujia Town these days?"

"I don't know about that. I haven't been to Xujia Town in the past few days. If junior brother wants to go, let's go there at dawn." The fat Taoist said.

This fat Taoist is also a thing of inaction, sitting here, apart from knowing that there is a strange brain-eating bird making trouble, he knows nothing.

Xu Yin pondered for a moment and said: "Now that I'm back, I'd better go home first. Senior brother will wait for dawn before coming to Xujia Town."

"Young brother is actually from Xujia Town? That's fine, then I'll set off after dawn." The fat Taoist was a little surprised.

Xu Yin nodded, didn't drink the tea on the table, got up to say goodbye and left.

The fat Taoist sent Xu Yin out of the temple all the way, and it was a pity when he returned home. He had kept the ghost boy by his side for several years, and he was very attentive in serving tea and water on weekdays.

"If you want to blame it, blame your bad luck..."

"It's inconvenient to have one less boy to serve you, and you need to practice another one to supplement it."

……

On the small road, Xu Yin carried the ghost fire lantern and walked forward quickly with the wind travel technique. Within two quarters of an hour, Xu Yin saw the familiar town ahead.

Xujia Town has a small population, only about [-] households. Xu Yin's family is at the east end of the town, and the town is completely dark. There is no light on in any house, and there is no one on the street. All the houses are tightly closed. Nothing happened.

Xu Yin came to the door of a compound built of clay and stone with a ghost lantern in his hand. His eyes were a little complicated. He stood quietly outside the door for nearly [-] breaths before Xu Yin raised his hand and knocked on the door.

There was a knock on the door, but the courtyard was still very quiet.

"Father! Mother! I'm back!"

Xu Yin yelled.

There was a commotion in the courtyard, and Xu Yin heard her brother's voice.

"Second child?"

"it's me."

"Ah! The second child is really back! Mom, it's really the second child!"

"Second Brother, it's Second Brother!" Another clear female voice sounded.

There was a sound of surprise in the courtyard, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps, and the door was quickly opened.

Xu Yin's brother, Xu Liang, was taller and a bit dark. When he opened the door and saw Xu Yin, his progress suddenly stopped and his eyes widened in disbelief.

Behind Xu Liang, the 13-year-old fifth brother Xu Shi and fourth sister Xu Tiantian hid from one side to the other. They were obviously very happy, but they didn't dare to approach Xu Yin who was wearing a Taoist robe and holding a ghost lantern.

With a smile on Xu Yin's face, he stepped forward to hug Xu Liang to break the deadlock, and said softly, "Brother, you're black again."

Xu Liang faltered and didn't know what to say, he patted Xu Yin's shoulder at a loss and said with red eyes: "Second brother, you...you are white too."

"Second brother!"

Xu Shi and Xu Tiantian rushed over, each holding Xu Yin's leg.

Xu Yin nodded with a smile, rubbed the heads of the two of them and looked at the home, saying: "Dad and mother haven't gotten up yet? Where's the third sister?"

Xu Liang wiped away his tears and said: "Second brother, dad... dad is gone, mother has broken her leg and is in bed, and third sister... is already married."

The smile on Xu Yin's face disappeared, there was a moment of silence, and he whispered: "What's going on?"

"Let's go into the house and say that there are big birds eating people in the town these days." Xu Liang dragged Xu Yin into the main house.

The ghost fire lantern illuminated the room, and when Xu Yin walked into the room, looking at his mother who seemed to have aged ten years in the past year, Xu Yin felt a pang in his heart.

Xu's mother, who was half lying on the bed, burst into tears, her lips trembled and wanted to call Xu Yin's name, but she couldn't.

"Mom! My son is back!"

Xu Yin put down the will-o'-the-wisp lantern and quickly lay down in front of the bed.

"Son... my son!"

Xu's mother burst into tears, hugged Xu Yin and cried, "Son! Mother thought she would never see you again in this life! Your father, your father couldn't close his eyes when he was leaving, and his mouth I'm always talking about you, I don't know how you've been in the Immortal Temple..."

After a long time, Xu's mother stopped crying, looked at Xu Yin's Taoist robe and the wonderful ghost fire lantern and nodded repeatedly: "My son is promising, and he has also become the immortal master of the immortal temple."

Xu Yin wiped the tears from the corners of her mother's eyes and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with your legs? Why didn't dad get it? There's also a peach blossom. Why did she get married?"

Xu Liang cried and said:
"Second brother, Dad slipped from the ground and fell into a ditch. He was lying at home for three days and had no money to treat his injuries. He was forced to delay."

"After my father is gone, the family is even more difficult. Xu Youde's family always bullies us, and even took over an acre of our land. My mother and I went to them to reason, and they beat us up, mother. That's when the leg broke."

"Later, Xu Youde even slandered us for smashing up their house. Everyone in the town knew what was going on. But after all, Xu Youde's grandfather is the mayor of the town and the leader of the clan. The clan elders turned against them and asked us to pay for it, saying that we had no money. Compensation is for the land and the house."

"In the end, Xu Youde said that he could give up the house and sell the peach blossoms to him as a concubine!"

Xu Yin's face was gloomy, and he said angrily, "You agreed!"

"No!" Xu Liang burst into tears, covered his mouth and said, "He, he threatened Taohua in the clan hall to either marry him or kill our whole family to marry him again. Taohua compromised..."
