Demon in the world

One day, when Ah Jiu was catching fish by the water, he met a small fat cow with a horse head, not to mention the red light all over his body, and a faint fragrance, which attracted Ah Jiu to follow it involuntarily. It was the thought of jumping up and taking a bite.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly loyal little fat cow is not easy to provoke. When he found out that he was plotting something wrong, he turned around and ran over to provoke him, knocking Ah Jiu to the ground.

The two little beasts hugged each other and gnawed back and forth. Even though Ah Jiu had Huo Dou on the sidelines to help, he couldn't get any advantage.

Although the little fat cow was clumsy, it was very fierce and powerful, and bit Ah Jiu on the head several times.

When Meng Ji realized something was wrong and jumped out to try to persuade the fight, Ah Jiu had already been gnawed bald, and he was crying in his heart.

This little fat cow is not an ordinary bison, but a kind of monster named Sassafras, which ranks fifty on the list of hundred monsters, second only to Meng Ji.Ah Jiu's current ability to fight ordinary prey is fine, but it is still too difficult to challenge such a powerful monster.

In the evening, Ah Jiu picked up a maple leaf and hung it on the corner, hoping to cover the wound. How could it hide this little trick from Wen Renchu?After uncovering the maple leaf, Wen Renchu's face became more ugly than ever, and he said sadly, "Who did it?"

Ah Jiu bowed his head, "I mistook Yu Yu for a mountain ox, and lost the fight. Meng Ji passed by to save me."

Wen Renchu ​​fetched the ointment and spread it on the wound with his fingers.Ah Jiu gritted her teeth and endured the pain, seeing his gloomy face, she dared not speak out even more.

"I don't need to go out tomorrow, just stay here and rest." Not to mention the loss of a large tuft of hair, the wound is quite deep, and it is not easy for the wound to heal when it is windy outside.

Ah Jiu said: "Didn't brother still have to work, will it be inconvenient for me to be here?"

Wenren Chu said: "Tomorrow the Xinshan ghost will come to take over, and I will be fine after that."

Ah Jiu cheered excitedly, "Great!" When she was with Wen Renchu, she never worried about being bullied!

The next day, the Xinshan ghost came to report and introduced himself as Qi Tongguai, the son of Zhuanxu, a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, named Xuanqing.

About 80 or [-] years old, with white hair and chicken skin, there is a small finger-thick snake wrapped around his neck. When he walks, the snake's head wobbles and spitting out red letters, which is creepy to watch.Contrary to his terrifying appearance, he has a very kind voice and is very funny and humorous.

The first time I met Ah Jiu, he also took out a gift, claiming that the dried snake pickled by himself was as hard as a stone, and he could taste different tastes after repeated chewing.

Ah Jiu didn't dare to try it at first, but after being encouraged to eat it, he was very satisfied. He bit Fu Dou and opened the Qiankun bag, and put all the rest into it to make dry food.

Ever since Wen Renchu ​​got angry, no one dared to come to him for mediation. Apart from some records and household registration information, there was nothing to hand over.

Just about to take Ah Jiu away, Xuan Qing suddenly heard: "Second Highness, the little demon heard...you have been inquiring about the whereabouts of the Fool's Inn, is it true?"

Wenren Chuman said casually, "Well, what's the matter with you?"

Xuan Qing was overjoyed immediately, knelt on the ground with a plop and hugged his feet, crying and crying: "The little demon has something important to ask, I hope the Second Highness can give me some advice!"

Seeing that he was an elegant Confucian scholar before, Ah Jiu was quite surprised by his sudden gesture.

Wen Renchu ​​said impatiently, "Speak up if you have something to say."

Xuan Qingmo stood up and said with a smile: "Second Highness, you should know the two major preferences of the little demon in life..."

Hearing people sneered coldly, what do you like?But gluttony and lust are two vices.

This Xuanqing, also known as Xuan Papi, is a well-known figure even though his fighting power is low on the list of Hundred Monsters.

In order to satisfy his appetite, he will do everything possible, as long as no one of his prey can escape by luck, he must try to get a piece of meat to taste.

And most of these prey are above his ranking. Needless to say, the well-known food monsters such as Tiangu and Bi Fang, even Long Jiuzi has been plotted by him. Ouyang Fei still wants to kill him when he mentions it. Then fast.

Not only that, Bai Ze, the leader of the demon world, was not spared either. Some people saw that Xuan Qing bought his nails at a high price to satisfy his greed.

Not to mention the lewdness, no matter whether it is humanoid or animal, good-looking or not, they are all within the range of his covetousness. The only good thing is that he has no choice but to be female, and most of the monsters are male, so everyone can get along smoothly. Escaped.

Regarding Xuan Qing, the most famous legend is that he sneaked into the heaven to steal the bellyband of the Queen Mother of the West. Unfortunately, the relationship between the two worlds was tense at that time, so he just eliminated his sense of taste and sent people back.If it is in normal times, it must be the death penalty of five thunders.

No matter which one of these two serious bad habits is involved, it is enough to kill a person, but he can live peacefully to this day, which shows how old and slippery he is.I don't know why Bai Ze got so excited that he sent such a person to guard Wuji Mountain.

While Xuan Qing observed his expression, she quietly took out some children's toys to coax Ah Jiu.

Although he was not ashamed of his behavior, but seeing that Ah Jiu liked Wenrenchu ​​very much, he didn't want to pour cold water on him, so he asked: "The Fool's Inn is in my hands, what do you want?"

Xuan Qing hurriedly said: "I'm getting old now, and I don't think much about women anymore, so... I want to get back the sense of taste that was taken away by the Queen Mother of the West."

Wen Renchu ​​thought for a moment, thinking that he might have to stay here for a while, and it would be hard to refuse him directly, so he said slowly: "What benefits can I get?"

Xuan Qing smiled apologetically, "Your Highness can't get what you want, so why would you care about Xiao Yao's family background? But if you fancy something, just take it."

Wen Renchu ​​tapped his fingers on the table twice, "Well, I'll give you back your sense of taste, and you can erase the memory of all the monsters on Mount Wuji for the past two months."

Only in this way, it will be more convenient to take Ah Jiu for a walk in the future, otherwise, if you reveal your identity, I am afraid that Ah Jiu will not be able to hunt one.

This is not difficult to say, but only the mountain ghosts that bred the aura of heaven and earth can do it.

Xuan Qing didn't even need to think about it, she just patted her chest and said, "It's a trivial matter, just leave it to Xiao Yao."

Ah Jiu took the two to the Fool's Inn, Monye was very happy to see a guest coming.

Others are making money in doing business, but this inn is doing nothing to serve people, and Ah Jiu doesn't know where he likes it.

After entering the kitchen, it quietly transformed into a human form, and wrote in a wordless book to restore the sense of taste, and the bright recipe slowly appeared: Take a fresh carp, peel the red lemon, take the five flavors of bitter melon, ginger, and sea cucumber, and serve with flower dew The soup.

The process is very simple, but Ah Jiu is a little flustered. Cooking is a skill like Du Shiwei said, and it can be mastered without practice in three days.

Because of his previous experience, after the soup was ready, he didn't dare to try it indiscriminately. After smelling it, he felt satisfied, so he asked Menye to come over to serve the soup.

For a person who has lost their sense of taste, eating is the same, so Xuanqing picked up the big bowl and poured the soup into his stomach.

Ah Jiu asked concerned: "How is it? Is Grandpa Shangui feeling better now?"

Xuan Qing closed her eyes and blew on her beard, and said intoxicated, "Hush, don't bother me... I have a special feeling right now, a feeling that I haven't seen for so long that I want to cry... It's so hot!"

After leaving the Fool's Inn, Xuan Qing couldn't wait to put a piece of dried snake into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then frowned, "The taste is not right, it seems to be over-marinated, but I was so complacent before, thinking that I can make it without taste." Tasty stuff, now it looks like a total jerk idea."

Wen Renchu ​​grabbed his collar, "Stop talking nonsense, what you promised me just now, it's time to honor it."

Xuan Qing nodded repeatedly, took out the Wuji Mountain household registration book from the table, took out a pekoe pen from her bosom, scribbled each name on it three times, and finally put the things away and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, everything has been dealt with gone."

Wenren said clearly: "My relationship with Ah Jiu and the matter of the inn, if you dare to reveal a word, I will bury you in Wuji Mountain."

"Don't dare to dare," Xuan Qing looked at the sky outside with great interest, and said to everyone who heard it: "There should be heavy snow in the past two days, Your Highness should stay in the mansion temporarily."

Wen Renchu ​​didn't mind, but thinking that Ah Jiu was still injured, he agreed to stay.

Sure enough, before the evening, a blizzard fell, and it didn't reach the knees in an hour.

Ah Jiu came back from having fun in the garden, and saw Xuan Qing leaning against the charcoal stove, roasting dried snakes while reading a book.

"Grandpa, what book are you reading?" Ah Jiu raised her face, looking confused at the white cover above her head, on which a group of naked girls were lying on the bed, all the key parts were covered with mosaic.

Xuan Qing read it with relish, "A book not suitable for children."

Ah Jiu said: "What's so good about books? Grandpa, tell me a story." Xuan Qing spoke interestingly, and his eyebrows would dance when he talked about interesting points. Ah Jiu liked to hear him tell some messy things.

Xuan Qing sighed, "You are still young and don't understand these things. In the eyes of my old man, there is nothing more beautiful than a woman."

Ah Jiu squatted down by the stove, "Then why don't you marry a wife?"

Xuan Qing closed the book and said leisurely: "Who made there are so many women in the world? I haven't decided which one to marry since I was young."

Ah Jiu asked, "Why did it take so long to think about it?"

Xuan Qing sighed, picked up a small snake, and said: "Because they each have their own advantages. If you marry this one, you think the other one will taste better. After eating the other one, you think the previous one is more suitable. You If you don’t understand the beauty of a woman, then you will never understand it, once you understand it... you will be as hard to extricate yourself as I am all my life.”

Ah Jiu grabbed one silently, and said to herself: "In my heart, only my brother is the best, and no woman can compare."

"That's because you haven't seen a good woman." Xuan Qing pointed to the woman on the cover and asked him, "How about this one? And this..."

Ah Jiu shook his head, "My brother is the best, grandpa, are you right?"

Xuan Qing said: "No matter how good your brother is, I don't like it. I only treat women... Hey, you child, how can you compare humans with monsters? What's more, His Highness is such an outstanding monster!"

Ah Jiu didn't understand why he suddenly changed his tone, but when he heard the sound of feet stepping on the snow at the door, he immediately greeted him, "Brother, you're back!"

Wen Renchu ​​threw the prey on the ground, and said to Xuan Qing, "Go cook them."

Xuan Qing carried the things into the kitchen with a happy smile, and Ah Jiu waved her paws to wipe off the residual snow on Wen Renchu's boots.

Wen Renchu ​​checked the wound on his head, took out the medicine and applied it again.

Ah Jiu was puzzled, "Why do you have to wipe it so many times?"

Wenren said clearly: "The injury is in such a conspicuous place, what if the appearance is disfigured?"

"Seventh brother said that scars are the badge of a man."

"Stop listening to his nonsense."

While the two brothers were chatting, they suddenly heard a loud noise from the kitchen and hurried over.

I saw Xuan Qing holding a knife, and there was a half-broken goat on the table, her voice trembled slightly with regret, "It's a pity that such good meat is too good to eat."

Wen Renchu ​​followed his gaze, and saw that there was no blood on the knife edge, but a strange paleness, and there was a black and distorted miasma at the joint of the internal organs.

"What is this?"

Xuan Qing put down the kitchen knife, "It's a curse, if you eat this polluted meat, you will become a puppet of the caster."

Wen Renchu ​​looked at the pheasant at the side, and ordered: "Cut these up and have a look."

Xuan Qing did as he did, and all of them without exception were cursed, so he said solemnly: "It seems that the little monsters on the mountain can't escape... This is really troublesome."

Could it be that this was hinted at when Yuan Chu left?Wen Renchu ​​frowned slightly. For him, it is not difficult to find food that has not been cursed. It is just that those little monsters with low skills, even Ah Jiu, cannot go hunting for the time being.

Looking down at Ah Jiu, he saw that it was squatting on the ground polishing its claws.

"what happened?"

"itch."

Wen Renchu ​​lifted it up, and saw a circle of pale pink beard growing on the top of the paw it was sharpening.

Ah Jiu was also very surprised when she saw it, "Ah, why did it turn red?"

"This," Xuan Qing said hesitantly, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be Yuelao's Yan Yuansi."

"But before the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the red rope was obviously untied and taken away!"

"At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty? You young people may not know that there are two types of Yuelao Yanyuansi, one is hidden silk and the other is bright silk. In the case of hidden silk, only those who take the initiative to pull the red thread can see it. After a while, After the fate of the two is determined, the hidden line will gradually become clear."

In other words, the red rope tied around his neck at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty was fake, was it used to cover up the real one on his wrist?

Ah Jiu didn't dare to look at Wen Renchu, "What will happen if you don't care about it?"

As hard as the iceberg is beside her, Xuan Qing just smiled and said nothing.

After a long silence, Wen Renchu ​​frowned and said to Xuan Qing: "We'll talk about this later, the curse is the most important thing right now. You go and tell the demons to rest for ten days, and then ask them to find out how many animals have been cursed."
