Demon in the world

The weather finally cleared up, and the sun shone brightly through the corridor into the room, making the lazy person start to feel drowsy.

Dongfangqi yawned, and continued to complain to Ah Jiu with his feet crossed and his sleeves rolled up, "That scoundrel Yazi, after taking me to the woods, he said you wait here for a while, and then ran back by himself, you said he was hateful?" hateful?"

Ah Jiu weakly argued: "Brother, he probably didn't do it on purpose, maybe he forgot later, don't be angry."

The man who saw it leaned against the door, his expression calm as if he had never heard of it, and Dongfang Qi couldn't help but said: "Jiujiu, you don't know, this is not the first time he has done this kind of thing. He planned to do this when you were young. They want to throw me away, but it’s not as good as the sky, and every time I can turn danger into good fortune.”

Ah Jiu couldn't help sneaking a glance at Wen Renchu, she couldn't imagine why he would throw away his own brother.

Dongfangqi asked: "I'm hungry, does the mountain ghost have anything to eat here?"

There was a layer of cold sweat on Xuanqing's back, and she repeatedly said: "Yes, yes, wait a moment!" After saying that, he rushed out as if fleeing.

After waiting for a long time, Xuanqing came back with a plate of dried snakes. Ah Jiu's eyebrows drooped immediately. It was really afraid of this kind of thing. Although it tasted good at first, after eating it for more than half a month, now it saw teeth All feel pain.

Dongfangqi picked up one and looked at it, and said with a disappointed face, "What is this?"

The mountain ghost hurriedly said: "This is the dried snake meat pickled by the little demon himself, which is easy to carry and store."

"I don't want to eat such an ugly thing." He has always adhered to the principle of preferring the lack of food to the east. If the food is not good-looking or does not suit his appetite, he would rather starve to death than take a bite.He stood up, shaking the red robe on his body, "I think it's better to go hunting."

Ah Jiu followed immediately, "Fourth brother, take me with you, I'm afraid you will get lost again."

Dongfang Qi nodded, "Okay."

After the two walked out respectfully as brothers and sisters, the atmosphere in the room returned to solemnity. Xuan Qing lowered her head and dared not look at Ren Chu's face, "Second Palace, Your Highness...I, I didn't mean it."

Wen Renchu ​​snorted coldly, Xuan Qing's calf began to tremble, what happened to His Royal Highness Long Er?The attitude towards brothers is really different.Ah, could it be... the Fourth Highness was not born to the Dragon King himself? !

Every monster hunts in a different way. Ah Jiu has seen Wenren Chu hunt before, and the animals seemed to be frozen when they saw him, and their footsteps were slow.

Wen Renchu ​​walked over, raised his hand, lowered it, and the sharp nails scratched the prey's throat, simply and neatly, without any unnecessary movements.

Ah Jiu's hunts are mostly running and chasing with a playful attitude, and only step forward to bite the fur on the back of the neck when the small animal is submerged, and his movements are gentle like treating a little daughter-in-law.

But Dongfang’s hunting is the most fresh and interesting. He asked Ah Jiu to stand still, and walked out a pentagram pattern on the snow, then pinched a few small snowballs, and chanted a few spells, and the snowballs turned into lively little ones. Animals, fled in four directions.

After a while, the snow ball brought back a large group of prey, brought them into the center of the pattern, and the pentagram turned into a light green light prison.

In the end, the light cage was struggling in the herd, and then turned into several smaller cages, which were neatly placed on the ground, just like selling poultry in a vegetable market.

Ah Jiu couldn't take his eyes off it, and rushed over to salivate at the cage, "They all look delicious."

Dongfang Qidao: "Bring it back, you can do it for me."

Ah Jiu nodded desperately, "Okay." After a winter's rest, the animal fat has become fat and thick, and he can already smell the tempting meat through the cage!

Back at Shangui Mansion, Ah Jiu showed off his skills and made sauced venison, stewed pork, roasted hare with mushrooms, and white-cut pheasant using the leftover materials from the previous sacrifice stove.

In this cold winter, the stewed meat is gurgling and emitting an aroma, which is unbearable to smell from a distance, let alone Ah Jiu who is guarding the stove?

He secretly picked up a bone, blew it a few times, and put it into his mouth. His fresh tongue was about to dance along with it. The rich and warm soup gradually seeped into his stomach from the crack of the bone. It was really an indescribable enjoyment.When the meat was completely stewed, he separated the leftovers with big clam shells and took them out. Fudou didn't eat meat, so he took care of the pot in the kitchen.

Xuan Qing held the clamshells, quietly brought the meat into her room, and respectfully placed it in front of the portrait of Grandpa Stove King, "Grandpa Stove, please enjoy, your lord has a lot, don't worry about it with the little demon, the old man is not in good health now." Well, if you continue to be so unlucky, life would be worse than death!"

After he finished offering the incense, he found that although the venison in the bowl was still there, it had completely lost its heat and aroma.

Xuan Qing was overjoyed immediately, quickly took out the clam shells and poured them out, then filled a bowl and brought them into the room.

Half an hour later, the Grandpa Stove King in the painting stroked his belly and said silently to the boy beside him: "This man is still conscientious and knows how to be filial. Let's cut his dark days in half."

He replied awkwardly, "There are still 3000 years left after half-folding, and his Yangshou should not be able to live that long."

Grandpa Stove King pondered for a moment, then said generously, "Then let's eliminate them all."

This afternoon, Qingji sent a letter from Bai Ze. He already knew about the curse event in Wuji Mountain and asked the mountain ghost to seal Xiushan from now until March next year.

Xuan Qing didn't understand Ze's instructions, so she asked Wen Renchu ​​for advice.

Wenren Chu said: "Master Bai is right. Even if the curse has been lifted temporarily, the Wuji Mountain has already been seriously injured. It is hard to guarantee that no one will take the opportunity to sneak attack. Now seal the mountain and let all the monsters have a good rest, so that we can deal with it in the future." Unexpected crisis. My mission has been completed, and it's time to take Ah Jiu away."

Xuan Qing was a little bit reluctant, there were people who knew him well, and she could make up her mind about what happened, now that she saw him, she already wanted to leave, and now she had to obey his orders to rest.

Dongfangqi dozed off with his hands on his chin, and when he saw Wen Renchu's eyes looking over, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Ajiu and I are leaving Mount Wuji, what do you want to do next?"

"Of course I will follow you."

Ah Jiu lay on Wen Renchu's boots and rejoiced, "Okay, okay!"

Wen Renchu ​​shook his feet, and said with a serious face: "I'm going to Kongshan Town to find Old Man Yan Yuan, and ask him to remove the red thread that binds the ninth brother. This trip should be meaningless. If you don't go to Lao Qi and Lao Ba, They should be in Fengqi Mountain now. Didn’t you always want a phoenix? You should be able to catch the mountain ghost there if you unseal it.”

Dongfangqi regained his energy immediately, his long silver eyelashes fluttered slightly, and hesitantly said, "I'm not lying to me this time, am I?"

"It's fine if you don't believe me. I wanted Chongming Bird to send you there."

"Okay!"

Ah Jiu drilled out, "Fourth brother, do you really want to leave?"

Dongfang Qi said: "I've wanted a phoenix for a long time. With it as a mount, it will be very convenient to see you and you won't get lost again. Yazi, summon your Chongming bird, and I'll go now."

Wen Renchu ​​smiled slightly, "Okay."

Xuan Qing's heart trembled, Fourth Highness, you are too naive, didn't you realize that your brother's smile is very sinister?

After bidding farewell to Dongfang Qi and Xuan Qing, Ah Jiu followed Wen Renchu ​​and left Wuji Mountain.

"Brother, what does Xuan Qing mean when we leave the mountain?"

"Use the mountain soul to seal the entire surface of Wuji Mountain. The monsters inside can't get out, and the humans outside can't enter. The monsters will stop all hunting behaviors and enter a dormant state, so we have to leave."

"If the old man of marriage can't get rid of this red thread, will I definitely marry Yuanchu in the future?" Ah Jiu squatted on his shoulder, looking at the fur on his paw that had turned crimson.

Wen Renchu ​​didn't want to answer his hypothetical question, "Since Yan Yuansi came from Yuelao, then he must have a way to get rid of it."

"Where is Kongshan Town? Why have I never heard of it?"

"Just like the Fool's Inn, it does not belong to the Three Realms, but is located at the junction of the two worlds of demons and immortals. Ordinary humans cannot reach there. It looks like an ordinary town on the outside, but in fact there are many monsters growing there. Luli stuff."

"Sounds like fun."

"It's an interesting place indeed."

In this case, why did you lie to the fourth brother?Ah Jiu couldn't figure it out.But forget it, Dongfang Qi seemed very happy to go to Fengqi Mountain.

When he was about to walk out of Wuji Mountain, there was a sporadic snowfall in the drowsy sky, Ah Jiu said: "Brother, I'm a little hungry, let's find a place to eat."

Wen Renchu ​​found a cave, and after checking it, he asked Ah Jiu and Fu Dou to wait while he went to find some prey nearby.Ah Jiu changed back into a human form, collected dry firewood and piled it at the entrance of the cave.

After a while Wen Renchu ​​came back, holding the cleaned prey in his hand.Ah Jiu put the meat on the branches, spread coarse salt on it, and roast it slowly over low heat.

Although he was wearing the leather jacket given by Pi Xuanqing, he was still not as warm as when he was in animal form, Wen Renchu ​​took off his Begonia cloak and handed it to him.

Ah Jiubi was rounder when he entered the mountain, and he sniffed cutely with his nose up, "Wait a little longer, you can eat it right away."

Wen Renchu ​​fumbled in the Qiankun bag, and took out a blue gourd from it. This was the winter wine given to him by the mountain ghost. It is said that one sip can make people drunk for three days.Although the rumors are slightly exaggerated, the aroma is rare and strong.

Ah Jiu has a good nose and smelled it as soon as he unplugged it, "It smells so good, brother, let me drink some too."

"Children can't drink alcohol." Wen Renchu ​​closed the cork after taking two sips. Seeing his wistful expression, he kissed him on the lips and said, "But I can let you have a taste."

Ah Jiu stuck out her tongue and licked her lips. The blush slowly spread from her face to the base of her ears. She whispered, "The taste is too weak, let me taste it again."

Wen Renchu's eyes lit up, and a smile slowly flowed in his eyes, he lifted his chin and said, "Then let you try again."

This time their lips did not simply touch each other, Wen Renchu ​​tentatively stuck the tip of his tongue in, and swipe it between his teeth.

Ah Jiu felt that he was floating again, he had completely forgotten the taste of winter wine, and was just enjoying this unprecedented pleasure foolishly.It seems that something is wrong, but now I can't care about it.

He lowered his eyes shyly, and awkwardly learned to respond under Wen Renchu's inducement, and sent his tongue out.Wen Renchu ​​seemed to appreciate his behavior, put his big hand behind his head to encourage him to withdraw, and bonded the two of them closer.

Ah Jiu struggled to separate from him, "Brother..."

Wen Renchu's eyes were like a bottomless vortex, and his voice was a little hoarse, "What's the matter?"

Ah Jiu hurriedly said: "The meat, the meat is burnt."

Wen Renchu ​​pinched his face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised but he didn't say anything.

After removing the burnt part, Ah Jiu divided the meat in half, and he chose the smaller part.

I don't know why, although I was not hungry just now, but now I feel very full.

"Brother," Ah Jiu hesitated and whispered, "Isn't it wrong for us to do this?"

Wen Renchu ​​looked at him with raised eyebrows, "What's wrong?"

Ah Jiu licked the oil on his fingers, with a worried expression on his face, "It's always a man and a woman doing this kind of thing on TV, we two are brothers, is it against human relations?"

"Did you forget that we are not human?"

"That's right," Ah Jiu frowned again, "But it still feels weird." After being puzzled by Wen Renchu, his appetite quickly recovered, and he was still not full after eating.

Turning around and seeing Wenren Chu Zheng staring at him, Ah Jiu became nervous again, "What's wrong?"

Wen Renchu ​​tore half of the meat from his hand to him, and asked softly, "Ah Jiu, who do you like most in this world?"

Ah Jiu gnawed at the meat, and replied without hesitation: "Of course it's brother."

"If I treat you..." Wen Renchu ​​still hesitated after meeting his bright eyes, "Forget it, it's okay, you can eat."

Ah Jiu tilted his head in doubt, "Brother, what do you want to say?"

Wen Renchu ​​leaned back, leaned against the stone wall and said depressedly: "You won't understand even if I tell you, so forget it."

It seems that everyone around him has hit him like this before, senior brother, Lu Xiaoman, Fu Xin, and Ouyang Fei... Now even my brother said that, Ah Jiu gritted his bones, "How do you know I don't understand if you don't say it? "

Wenren Chu just wanted to speak, but he heard a voice like a silver bell outside saying: "Excuse me, can you let me take shelter from the wind here?"

The one who came was a beautiful woman about 30 years old, with long golden hair and eyes like blue lake water.Only the key parts of his body were wrapped in white gauze, and he stood in the snow with bare feet and long legs, as if he couldn't feel the chill of the icy world at all.

She was holding a transparent crystal ball in her hand, with a warm and kind smile on her face. If it wasn't for the weird time and place where she appeared, no one would refuse her request.

A sense of fear surged up for no reason, and Ah Jiu instinctively approached Wenren Chu.The ambiguous atmosphere in the cave was broken, Wenren Chu said coldly: "Sorry, it's not convenient here, you should find another place."

The woman bent her eyes and seemed to be smiling with satisfaction, but her voice was still begging in a weird way: "I have been walking for a day, and my feet are covered with blisters. I really can't move. Please take me to Xueting for a while. Well, God bless the well-wishers."

"Your so-called God can't control this place, so go back to where you should go."

"What a ruthless man," the woman pretended to cover her face and wept softly. After crying a few times, she moved her hands away and smiled again. "He didn't even give the lady a chance to take shelter from the snow. It seems that other things are even more difficult to discuss. .Rebecca Voss, my name. I’m from the Five Flavors Alliance. The purpose of this trip is to bring back the alliance’s prey, which is the handsome guy next to you. I don’t know if you will do me a favor this time?”

Wen Renchu ​​showed no surprise at all, "What kind of organization is the Five Flavors Alliance? There are so many good chefs in the world, so why must the people around me be the only ones?"

The woman smiled, "Then can you invite me in for a while to rest?"

"Please help yourself."

Rebecca walked in with a smile, sat down on the stone clearing opposite Ah Jiu, put down the crystal ball and said, "The food looks delicious, do you mind if I eat a little?"

Ah Jiu looked at Wen Renchu, and silently handed out the meat in his hand.

Rebecca took the meat and ate it gracefully, her eyes kept looking between the two of them, "It seems that you have a very good relationship."

Wenren said clearly: "As you can see, he is my younger brother. Didn't your alliance do any homework when selecting targets?"

"Oh, you must have misunderstood, I mean you two look like lovers."

Ah Jiu grabbed Wen Renchu's sleeve and froze, but Wen Renchu ​​didn't make any excuses, "You haven't answered my previous question."

Rebecca shook the crystal ball with her hand, took out a clean white tissue, wiped the corner of her mouth with it, and said, "The Five Flavors Alliance is nothing more than an ambitious culinary organization, except that the manipulator is a monster. Anything special. As for why you must choose the boy next to you, I think there should be two reasons: one is that someone called him by name, and the other is that we adults are very interested in you Chinese monsters. I have already answered the question, I don't know what kind of reply you will give?"

Wen Renchu ​​sneered and said, "For such a provocative reason, I don't think there is anything to reply except to fight back."

"It seems that there is only one way." Rebecca raised her red lips and smiled, and said to the crystal ball beside her, "Come out, Nora!"
