Qianxiang Baimei

Chapter 3 Fox Demon and Immortal

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Bangchui suddenly woke up, and she fell asleep from crying.

The pain in the eyes was severe, and the throat was dry and astringent. Little Bang Chui rubbed his eyes and looked around. It was almost dark, and the setting sun shone warmly in the courtyard. The forest was quiet except for the sound of the wind.Normally at this time, if Master doesn't gamble or drink too much, he should be back.

She jumped up, ran out the door, and called out, "Master!"

No one answered her, the small courtyard seemed surprisingly empty at this moment, without the pungent smell of smoke and alcohol, and there was no moody white-haired old man anymore.

The sky gradually darkened, and there was silence everywhere, and Little Bangchui felt a strange loneliness, they surrounded her like a tide-was she alone from now on?If she waits, will Master come back?

After all, she was still a child, her eyes were stinging again, and she still wanted to cry.

The little mallet pinched himself hard and wiped away the useless tears.She didn't want to cry, never cry again, just like Master said, she was alone, she had to treat herself like a man, men don't cry easily.

After she calmed down, she read Master's letter back and forth, and the more she read it, the more she felt something was wrong. His tone in the letter was very vague, and he only said that he had something to leave, but if it was an ordinary matter, Master would never leave money for her to buy clothes , and even left such a farewell letter.

Therefore, he must have encountered a great calamity, even his life was at stake, and he knew that the possibility of surviving was unlikely, so he acted in every possible way.

No, she can't just stay here in a daze, she has to find Master!But... she doesn't know anything, and she hasn't learned alchemy, so even if she finds her master, what can she do?
Little Bangchui suddenly hated herself, why isn't she as talented as that senior brother who can learn it at once?Thinking of Eldest Brother, a light flashed in her heart - Eldest Brother!No Yueting!Since he is so capable, she should go find him!Find the big brother, and go to save the master together!
But where is Moonless Court?She has been with the master for these years, and she has seen quite a lot, but she has never heard of the word Wuyueting. Is it some kind of hidden sect?

It's useless to think about it here, and the little stick randomly added water to heat the braised radish, and ate a full meal.After the meal, she fetched water and took a serious shower, took off the skirt that Master bought, carefully folded it up and put it in the blue cloth bag, and put it back on the patched clothes that had been washed so that the color could not be seen. The hair is all tied up and tied up, and he becomes a tomboy again.

Although she doesn't know where Wuyueting is, she will slowly ask for directions, find the way slowly, first find the senior brother, and then discuss the matter of the master with him.

The mountains and forests at night were quiet and eerie. From time to time, there were some strange sounds from a distance. The thick branches and leaves covered the moonlight, and the surroundings were dark.

She did not know how many times she walked down the mountain with her master. If she walked fast, she would be able to reach the town at dawn. Before going down the mountain with her master, she would always find a place to light a fire and rest overnight when it was dark. Master never allowed to drive at night. Now that he is not here, she is small and bold, and walks the mountain road alone at night very happily.

After half an hour, it suddenly became clear before the eyes. Here is a cliff with no grass growing, hundreds of feet deep, which is shaped like a tiger's mouth, so the master called it the tiger's mouth cliff.The edge of the cliff is full of jagged and strange rocks. The little mallet searched for a while among the strange rocks, and soon found a hemp rope as thick as an arm.

Because the terrain of this mountain is extremely dangerous, there is no ordinary way up the mountain. The master and apprentice used to go up and down the mountain from Hukou Cliff. The hemp rope was just replaced with a new one a few days ago, and many small copper bells were tied from top to bottom. , The small mallet lifted the hemp rope vigorously, and shook it violently, and the sound of jingling came from the depths of the cliff.

Great, the rope should be fine.

She wiped her sweat with a small stick. She was really tired after walking in the middle of the night. She looked up at the sky, and there was a crescent moon in the sky.She ate some dry food, found a big rock against the wind and sat down. She just wanted to rest for a while, but she would get sleepy when she was full, and she had never stayed up all night. The cool night wind blew by, and her eyelids couldn't help it. Keep drooping downward.

I don't know how long it has passed, and in a deep sleep, I suddenly feel a puff of hot air spraying on my face, which is scalding, and seems to have the smell of blood.

Little Bang Chui was awakened suddenly, and opened her eyes, only to see two green beast eyes the size of copper bells in front of her, she couldn't help gasping, and her whole body froze.

beast?No... huge... not a beast.

It is several feet tall, covered with snow-white long hair, with four claws standing on the ground, the claw hooks are like sharp blades with the thickness of human legs, and the nine long tails behind it are changing and swinging, which is extremely spectacular.It was looking down at her, its eyes dark green, its ears pricked up—a fox?A giant fox demon?

Its pale green eyes stared at her quietly, and for a moment, the little mallet stared blankly at its huge head approaching him—wanted to eat her? !She tried to shrink back stiffly, but her back was already tightly pressed against the stone, and there was no way to retreat.It lowered its head and sniffed at her, its eyes full of spirituality fixed on her again.

The little mallet felt that it seemed to groan slightly, and only then did she realize that its snow-white fur was covered with blood, and there seemed to be a huge wound on its front leg, and large balls of blood were rolling down.Was he hunted down?

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, when suddenly there was a sharp wind whistling from the other side of the cliff, like thousands of bamboo whistles blowing at the same time, a look of anxiety appeared in the eyes of the fox demon, it groaned again, and looked at it pleadingly. mallet.

"I..." She only uttered one word, and the sharp bamboo whistle-like sound was close in the blink of an eye, everything was in the blink of an eye, and several black shadows rushed to the top of the cliff like lightning, followed closely by the sword With a flash of light, someone yelled, "Stop!"

The sharp sword light stopped two inches in front of the little mallet's forehead, and the ear-piercing sound like a bamboo whistle came from the bright sword body, she stopped breathing, her nose was itchy, and a few strands of hair were cut off by the sword wind , fell silently.

"A human?!" Someone yelled.

"It's a little boy! An ordinary person?!"

"Ridiculous! How can there be mortals in Qingqiu at such a late night!"

A hand was stretched out towards her, and it was lifted effortlessly. In the bleak moonlight, the little stick saw clearly that the person holding her was a middle-aged woman. She was wearing a black and white robe and had a very beautiful face, but her eyes were very sharp. , looking at himself in surprise.

Behind the middle-aged woman stood two long swords hanging in the air. The blades of the swords radiated brilliance like cold stars. They were the murder weapons that almost cut off her head just now.

"...Whose family are you a child? Why are you on the mountain so late at night?" The middle-aged woman asked in a slow voice.

The little mallet didn't speak, she quietly looked at the people standing in front of her, one woman and three men, all of them were dressed in robes and sleeves, surrounded by sharp weapons, and the old man with a gray beard was even stepping on a big gourd. Standing a few feet off the ground is very stable.

Who are they?Can fly?Immortal?She and her master live on the mountain, and they have never seen outsiders. The only way to go up and down the mountain is through the Hukou Cliff. The Hukou Cliff is a natural danger. No one can go up and down from there except the two of them, but they can fly. Fly up?
She looked at the blood on the ground again, it should be left by the fox demon just now, but where did it go?Disappeared in the blink of an eye?

"Is this child out of fright? Why didn't he speak?" The middle-aged woman shook her hand in front of her, "Did you see a monster? Can you tell us where he went?"

Little Stick hesitated, should I say something?She thought of the pleading in the eyes of that fox demon, does the demon have a heart?It is begging her?Look at these people in front of them, are they chasing and killing that fox demon?

"Let me ask."

A young man in white walked forward slowly, bent over and stared into her eyes, she felt his eyes were as cold as ice, and couldn't help but tremble.He whispered: "Little brother, did you see a huge white fox demon just now?"

His voice was colder than his eyes, like a secluded spring on the nineteenth floor underground. He couldn't help but tremble when he heard it for the first time, and a desire to obey him and tell everything couldn't help but arise in his heart.Little Stick woke up suddenly, looked at him vigilantly, took a step back quietly, and still refused to speak.

"Mr. Zhenyun, he is just a mortal boy, why do you need to use the 'Tianyin Yanling Dafa' to deal with him?" The middle-aged woman frowned, her expression quite dissatisfied.

Zhen Yunzi smiled faintly: "Mr. Long Jingyuan is serious. I just thought that we and others had been chasing that vicious fox demon for several months. Seeing that Qingqiu was about to surrender, a strange child suddenly appeared on the way, and now the fox demon has lost its whereabouts." , I have to be more cautious."

Long Jing Yuanjun was at a loss for words for a while, turned around and sighed: "Mr. Zhou, Master Dongyang, the fox demon is extremely cunning, and must have fled far away, what should I do?"

The two people behind him also sighed again and again, Zhenyunzi said calmly: "Ask this child first."

He squatted down, stared at the little mallet, and said softly, "Why are you here?"

Here it is again, the feeling of wanting to obey him is getting stronger and stronger, the little mallet clenches her lips tightly, she wants to escape...but they can fly, they must be very capable, even if the master is here Can't escape.

"Such a small child must have been scared out of his wits, Mr. Zhenyun, let him slow down."

Mr. Long Jingyuan remembered that his flying sword almost cut off the child's head just now, so it's no wonder that the child can't speak until now. She felt a little guilty, squatted in front of the little stick, softened her voice, and said softly: " Don't be afraid, little brother. Have you seen the monster?"

The little mallet stared at her, and suddenly burst into tears with a "wow", Long Jingyuan Jun was startled by her, unexpectedly she hugged his arm and began to cry loudly, saying "there is a monster", Long Jingyuan Jun Seeing that her sleeves were covered with snot and tears, and a lot of water was wet, she couldn't help frowning, but the other party was a child, and she was not in a good mood, so she could only bear it silently until she finished crying.

Unexpectedly, after only a few howls, Zhenyunzi with cold eyes came over and touched the head of the little mallet lightly. His palm was as cold as ice, and she felt as if a cold air came in from the top of her head. I heard his deep spring-like voice: "Don't cry anymore."

The cold air gradually descended, as if it was about to envelop her whole body, the little mallet couldn't help shivering, and the howling sound stopped immediately.

"Mr. Zhenyun." The old man who had been standing on the gourd suddenly spoke in a gentle voice, "He is just a mortal child, please don't get angry."

Before he finished speaking, he gently pulled the small mallet with one hand, and the biting chill disappeared immediately.
