Sanctification begins from the fruit of the years

Chapter 23 Watching the Demon Transformation Human Form, Dao Fruit Produces Precious Jade

In the early morning after the spring rain, the sun shines from among the thin clouds, covering the world with a layer of warm gold.

The lady in the courtyard was wearing coarse cloth, her back was facing Anle and Huang Xian at the entrance of the courtyard, and she was trimming the potted plants. After a day of spring rain, the flowers and plants became more and more beautiful, covering the golden veil of the morning light together with the woman, looking It's kind of peaceful.

An Le's gaze was involuntarily attracted to this woman.

It's not because of the woman's beauty, nor is it because of the woman's proud figure that can't be concealed by coarse clothes.

It's because this woman has wisps of age, rising and lingering endlessly!
Counting carefully, there are more than twenty wisps!

what does this mean?
The girl chasing the wind in Lin's mansion, and the fairy Yunrou on the flower boat, both have only a dozen wisps of age, but the woman in Taimiao Lane in front of her has more than twenty wisps!
In addition, An Le also felt the difference, the difference of time.

The air of time on the woman's body is not only gray, but there seems to be a layer of deep black on the surface of the air current, which is extremely coquettish.

It's like... a monster!
An Le's eyes narrowed slightly.

Demon?
In this world, besides the practitioners, there are also some creatures who are the spirits of heaven and earth and give birth to the roots of wisdom, which are called demons.

The legend of demons has existed since ancient times. There are evil demons who slaughter creatures, and there are good demons who repay favors like snails...

Nearer, let's say that under the West Lake, there is a rumor that there is a thousand-year-old snake demon in the town.

An Le never thought that the woman in front of her, living in an alley so close to the Great Zhao Taimiao, might be a monster.

Huang Xian never noticed the strangeness of the woman, the difference in cultivation level, he only felt that the woman was an ordinary person.

An Le remained calm and followed Huang Xian into the courtyard.

This yard is not a secondary courtyard, but an ordinary primary courtyard, but it is enough for Anle, mainly because the courtyard is large enough to be able to perform five birds.

Seeing someone coming, the woman stopped what she was doing without haste, and turned around gracefully.

The woman's appearance is not considered beautiful, but coupled with her proud figure, she has a charming charm.

"Sister-in-law, this is Mr. An, who needs to buy a yard to live in, so I introduced him here."

Huang Xian saw the woman and said with a smile.

The woman took a look at An Le, she was taken aback by such a handsome man, and then bowed to say An Le.

Anle bowed in return.

"Mr. An, this... this yard is for sale for 600 taels, may you accept it?"

The woman smiled gently.

An Le observed the cleaned yard with potted flowers and plants that made people feel happy, smiled lightly, and nodded without haggling: "Yes."

Then An Le took out the money bag and took out two Yuan Ling Tong Bao from it.

"The two Yuanling Tongbao are exactly 600 taels, madam keep it."

An Le handed Tongbao to the woman.

The gentle woman took Tongbao, then took the deed and Anle, leaned forward and said, "Mr. An, this courtyard belongs to you. The flowers and plants in the courtyard are carefully cultivated for my wife, and they are also for the creatures of heaven and earth, or have life. I hope you can take care of yourself." Look after."

An Le replied with a smile: "Ma'am, don't worry, when I'm practicing martial arts, I will definitely remove the potted flowers and plants to prevent injury."

The woman smiled at An Le when she heard the words.

Seeing that the deal was concluded, Huang Xian was in a very happy mood. The 600 two rooms were sold at a price premium to be honest.

Huang Xian only hoped that the orphan and widow could earn more money and live a good life after leaving Lin'an.

"Sister-in-law, after leaving Lin'an, pay attention to safety, this world is not peaceful."

Huang Xian looked at the woman and exhorted.

The woman nodded: "After I send my daughter back to her mother's house, I will go to Lin'an again..."

Huang Xian was taken aback.

"Husband's death, Huang Botou should know the tricks...someone wants him to die, and the woman returns to the capital, so she must seek justice." The woman lowered her head, her long hair drooping, and whispered.

Huang Xian was at a loss for words for a moment, only feeling that a huge boulder blocked his throat.

An Le listened to the conversation between the two, and also noticed that there was something else going on in it, but it was inconvenient for him to ask, so his mind was moved, and he absorbed two wisps of time spirit from the woman one after another.

There are only two wisps of time energy on Huang Tutou's body, and now that he has absorbed it, he can no longer breathe it in.

An Le couldn't help but be overjoyed when the two wisps of time qi entered the account, because...he actually discovered that there was a ray of golden time qi that could gather Dao fruit!
Inside the house, a little girl with shofar braids ran out, she seemed a little shy, and timidly hid behind the woman. The woman took the bag she had prepared and nodded towards An Le.

"Mr. An, thank you for your generosity."

The woman didn't realize that she was being plucked, and said softly.

She also knew that this small courtyard could not be sold for 600 taels at all, because An Le saw that their mother and daughter were pitiful, so Fang generously donated the money, and she really needed silver taels, and she would keep this kindness in mind.

"Madam, there is no need to thank you. This is a deal. I wish you what you like. I wish Madam the best of luck."

An Le smiled.

The woman took a deep look at An Le, Mr. An's eyes... did he see something?

But the woman didn't go into the details, and took the little girl with her luggage on her back. She took a last look around the small courtyard that might have a good memory, turned around and left, hiding between the crowds of people on Qingbo Street and the mist of the morning light.

"Oh." Huang Xian sighed.

"Huang Baotou, there's something else going on in this matter?" An Le asked, "If it's inconvenient, then don't tell me."

Huang Xian shook his head: "It's not inconvenient, but it's just the filth and darkness hidden under the prosperity of Lin'an Mansion. Some people use their power to oppress and bully others."

"There are many nobles in Lin'an Mansion. The nobles have many privileges in their actions. Some nobles rely on their privileges, so they have no taboos and do anything wrong. Talking too much is annoying."

"Although Hei Ya is in charge of practitioners, some nobles can't and dare not."

Huang Xian was not very interested, so he said a few words before bidding farewell to An Le: "Mr. An, congratulations on moving to a new house. Huang must go to investigate the case now. With Mr. An's painting in hand, this suspect will definitely not escape."

"After Mr. Huang got off work, he took a pot of old rice wine and drank with Mr. An."

An Le bowed in return, Huang Xian carried a knife on his waist, looked towards the direction in which the woman, mother and daughter were leaving, and sighed again, as if he had aged a little, with a slightly bent back, and stepped away.

An Le closed the gate of the courtyard and put the rucksack inside the house. The inside and outside of the courtyard were cleaned very clean. Although the lady was a demon, she really lived like an ordinary woman.

Huang Xian didn't explain the woman's matter thoroughly, and An Le didn't think too much about it.

With a movement of mind, the wisp of golden years drawn from the woman, vaguely shrouded in a coquettish meaning, began to turn into a golden pillar of incense and burn slowly.

……

The moonlight is like water, pouring on the world.

In the deep mountains, old trees are entwined.

On an old pine tree with intertwined roots growing on a rock, there is a squirrel sitting cross-legged on a branch.

The moonlight is shining, and the squirrel is bathing, its fluffy tail swaying slightly.

Vaguely, there seemed to be the essence of the moonlight permeating the air, which was absorbed by the squirrel bit by bit, and then a demonic aura glowed.

Absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, feeling the baptism of heaven and earth, this is the metamorphosis of a monster.

Vibrant demonic aura grew, like a black mist enveloping the squirrel, and gradually the demonic aura inflated, like a huge pine cone.

After a long time, the evil spirit began to dissipate slowly. In the black evil spirit, a long leg as white as jade slowly protruded out. Under the cold moonlight, it was white and dazzling.

……

The picture gradually dissipated, and An Le's mind returned. The golden years absorbed from the woman were actually watching the process of this monster transforming into form.

It really caught An Le a little off guard.

The woman was actually a female squirrel demon. After she transformed into a human form, she married into a woman for some reason. There may be many stories about it.

However, these stories are unknown.

In front of the light curtain, azure blue fonts emerged.

[Obtain the Dao Fruit of Time: Demon Quenching Jade]

[Note: Demon Quenching Baoyu (Dao Fruit): Baoyu absorbs demon energy, which can attract demon energy from the jade to help temper the body, making it as strong as a demon body; wearing the precious jade can weaken the influence of demon energy]

An Le took a deep breath, but suddenly saw a demonic wind in the courtyard, the demonic aura was like dark clouds, blowing flowers and plants swaying, and dust flying.

When the evil wind and evil spirit dissipated, there was a round cake-shaped nine-pattern white jade with tassels, which fell lightly on the palm of his hand.

……

at the same time.

In the imperial temple with octagonal double eaves and steeple-roofed pavilions a few miles away from the small courtyard.

An old man with long eyebrows in plain clothes is painting with ink on the table.

Suddenly, the old man froze while writing, turned his head to look at the other courtyard in Taimiao Lane, and smiled in surprise.

"A squirrel demon just left, and such a strong demonic aura emerges..."

"Beside the Royal Taimiao, the monster dares to make a nest, it is too disrespectful to the old man."

The old man hangs his pen, hands behind his back, and pushes open the temple door.

Walking unhurriedly, he headed towards the small courtyard in the alley.
