One evening a few days later, it was raining heavily outside the temple, and many beggars in the temple cuddled together in twos and threes to keep warm and talked in low voices.By the broken window, Shen Yuxian hugged the flower pot and the fox, quietly watching the continuous rain outside the window.

In his arms, Nine Thousand Years looked directly at the small sprout in the soil which was significantly higher than the previous few days and pondered: This little sprout is really capable of absorbing mana. It hadn't changed for 15 years before, but now it's the same size as the day before. As he grew taller, his astonishing aura gradually emerged. Presumably there was no mana that could be absorbed at the beginning, so it was silent for 15 years.

After looking at Xiaoya for a while, he looked up at Shen Yuxian above.Recently, there has finally been some movement in the little flower pot, he smiled every day, and his behavior of taking the little buds to bask in the sun and the moon has become more and more frequent.

In fact, placing the flowerpot under the sun and the moon, and letting the things inside absorb the essence of the sun and the moon is indeed useful, but the effect is too narrow, and it may take hundreds of years for it to break out of the ground and grow into a towering I don't know how long it will take for the big tree to mature and transform into form, but it's different when he is nine thousand years old. His mana is so powerful that he can be regarded as a continuous source of mana.

From how it can absorb mana to restore itself, it is not difficult to see how strong his original strength is.Nine thousand years old is not clear about the strength of the demon world, but judging from the headache of the immortal emperor and the attention of the emperor of the demon world, I'm afraid it won't be too weak.

And their king, Shi Yu who has a mysterious origin, will definitely become stronger.Nine thousand years old is very puzzled, since he is so strong, he should not be harmed to such an extent by someone.But the facts have indeed developed to this point, so is it because the people in the demon world who want to rebel are meticulous and have a perfect plan, or is it someone else who is causing trouble.

He was concentrating on deep thought, distracted for a long time, and suddenly a large drop of ice water was splashed on his face!

The icy water hit him strangely, and it hit him right on the ground, which made him very clever.

However, after regaining consciousness, there are all kinds of strange things: he is sitting in Shen Yuxian's arms, Shen Yuxian is leaning against the window, and there is a circle of extra tiles on the top of the ruined temple to prevent the walls of the ruined temple from being wet by rain.So in this case, it's incredible that he can still be hit by the rain.

Looking around, he suddenly found a few crystal drops of water on the small shoots in the soil, he couldn't help squinting and said: "What's the matter, I'll give you mana and you still hit me with rain, do you know?" Know what "grateful" means?

Just as he was about to think of a way to punish it, the young seedling, with its bright green leaves on top, condensed a drop of water out of thin air and threw it at him again!

This time Jiuqian saw it for real, the water droplets flew towards him, he deftly avoided it with a slight side of his head, and immediately glared at the seedling!

what happened?Are you still addicted? !

The seedlings couldn't talk to him, they just swayed slightly in the soil, as if they wanted to express something.

When Jiuqian saw it twisting so happily, he was furious. He stretched out his tail out of the window to get wet on purpose, and flicked it at the seedlings in front of Shen Yuxian!

His anger spread to the innocent Shen Yuxian. Shen Yuxian hurriedly picked him up and handed him to a distance with his face curled: "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly angry?"

The little fox was flopping in his hands, its slightly wet tail was still shaking the water vigorously.She turned her face and let him shake it, and when the tail was half dry, Shen Yuxian hugged him back again, with a helpless look on her face.

He opened his mouth, and just about to speak, a person suddenly walked in through the door of the ruined temple.

This person's clothes were ragged, his body was drenched, and the strong smell of blood on his body could still be smelled in the wind.

His hair was disheveled, and his head was bowed so deeply that no one could see his appearance clearly.He seemed to have been seriously injured, and he seemed to be staggering. Once he entered the ruined temple, he barely staggered and walked a few steps. After a while, he fell to the ground with a "bang" before approaching the crowd.

When he came in, everyone in the temple covered their mouths and noses to cover up the bloody smell coming from him, other than that, they were only on guard and vigilance.Now that he fell down with a "bang", everyone was stunned for a while, and then several beggars with healthy hands and feet stepped forward to confirm whether he was really unconscious.

Shen Yuxian put away the smile just now, quietly hugged the flowerpot and the little fox, and moved to an inconspicuous corner to watch quietly.

The beggar who came forward to investigate carefully turned the stranger over, seeing that his face was so unbelievably pale, they were all shocked, and immediately stepped forward to check his breath.

The people around him never thought that his face would be so pale, and they all shivered inexplicably.

Jiu Qiansui was hugged tightly by Shen Yuxian, because he was far away from this person, he saw that once this person was turned over, only a pale face was the most eye-catching, and it was very conspicuous in the dark purple clothes.

Looking around, except for that snow-white face that couldn't be seen clearly, all he could smell was a strong smell of blood.

Wei Wei raised his head and took a deep breath of the smell of blood, he felt faintly bad in his heart.

The smell of blood was obviously very fresh, but it carried a faint rancid smell.It's as if the blood on this person's body was stained by him himself when he went to a cemetery full of dead people, rolled and crawled.

And this smell, he remembered where he seemed to smell it.

A few beggars over there found out that this man was still angry, so they didn't dare to touch him anywhere, for fear of tearing the wound on his body, they hurriedly said: "Yuxian! Yuxian, come and have a look, this person is seriously injured If you don't come here again, I'm afraid he will die!"

Shen Yuxian responded in a low voice, Jiu Qiansui thought that he would go over immediately after he answered, but he never thought that he seemed a little hesitant.He put the small flowerpot and Nine Thousand Years in the corner and covered them with something to hide them. After hesitating for a while, he walked back and lifted the cover to hold them in his arms again. Come back and hide them.

Going back and forth like this, Jiuqian could deeply sense his vigilance.

That's right, now that the contents of the flower pot have broken out of the ground, he has been with this flower pot day and night for 15 years, he must know what's in it, and it's so strange that he should be more vigilant.

He couldn't come here for a long time, he was waiting anxiously, and urged repeatedly: "Yu Xian, Yu Xian, what are you doing? Come here quickly, his blood can't stop at all, we don't understand medical principles and dare not mess with him!"

Shen Yuxian frowned and struggled for a moment, then gritted her teeth and hugged the flowerpot to go with Jiuqian.

Nine thousand years old has a better sense of smell than humans, before approaching that person, he turned his face away and covered his nose with his paw: it stinks!Is there something rotted about this person, otherwise why would it be so pungent?

Unlike him, when Shen Yuxian and the others approached this person, they only frowned slightly, as if they had not been affected by multiple factors.

Seeing them all like this, Jiu Qiansui struggled to jump down from Shen Yuxian's arms, covered his mouth and nose with his big tail and barely moved over: Could it be that you really can't smell such a stinky smell at all?

Taking a look at everyone's appearance, it seems... really can't smell it.

Seeing this, the bad feeling in his heart became more and more intense, and he couldn't help but hold his tail while leaning closer to see the appearance of that person.

This person looks quite handsome, but his nose and chin are slightly pointed, which makes him look cunning and cunning.

Shen Yuxian didn't expect this person to be hurt so badly. After a moment of silence, he quickly put down the flower pot in his hand and went to feel his pulse.

The beggars around surrounded him in twos and threes, saw him frowning, and said anxiously: "How? How is this person? Can there be help?"

Shen Yuxian remained silent, withdrew his hand that was beating his pulse, and untied his belt with a frown.Jiu Qiantui didn't understand medical principles either, so he could only squat down and watch quietly, while recalling where he had smelled this smell before.

Shen Yuxian was very fast, and several beggars also stretched out their hands to help him take off this man's clothes. When the clothes were removed, everyone looked down and took a deep breath!

I saw a few pus-bleeding wounds festering on the man's chest, the wounds were very large, I don't know if it was a burn or what, it was extremely horrifying.

In addition, this person's skin is so pale that he doesn't look like a living person, and there are blue blood vessels everywhere, and he can't help being a little horrified just by casually looking at it.

Everyone has never seen such a disease. For a while, there was only the sound of rain in the ruined temple.

Shen Yuxian remained silent, her beautiful brows furrowed even deeper, and she slowly touched this person's intact skin with her palm.

At this time, someone in the ruined temple said: "Yu Xian, do you know what kind of disease this is?"

Shen Yuxian pondered for a while: "His skin is festered, his complexion is not like a living person, his body temperature is much hotter than ordinary people, and his pulse is also strange... Forgive my ignorance, I really can't tell."

Everyone took a deep breath and said: "Then what should we do? Is there any way to save this person?"

Shen Yuxian said: "I will prescribe a few medicines. Among you, go to the pharmacy in the city to grab the medicine quickly, and some of the rest of you will move him to the haystack with great strength, and the other will boil the hot water and use a clean cloth first. Wipe off the dried blood and pus on his face. To stop his bleeding temporarily, so that the wound will not continue to infect and pus, the medicinal materials are not enough. There will not be any medicine shops in the city, so I will go up the mountain to pick them. "

Everyone believed in him and began to act according to what he said.

Shen Yuxian casually put on a piece of cloth, picked up the flowerpot in one hand and squatted down to Jiuqian said: "Sorry, it's raining heavily now, I really can't take you out together, you stay here well, I'll be right back."

Jiu Qiantui didn't say anything, and sent him outside the ruined temple, watching him leave all the way.When he was completely out of sight, the little fox looked back, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he jumped into the rain curtain.

Now a seedling is growing in the small flower pot, if it is really Shi Yu or is related to Shi Yu, then no matter whether it is the premeditated rebellion in the demon world, or something with ulterior motives, they must have noticed it and will come to remove this seedling to prevent Shi Yu from recovering mana. They settle accounts.

The person who fell in suddenly just now was so strange, at this moment Jiu Qiansui wanted to follow Shen Yuxian every step of the way.

Unexpectedly, it was only a few steps behind him, Jiu Qiansui chased after him all the way, but he never saw Shen Yuxian's shadow.

Shen Yuxian is a mortal, and now it is raining heavily and the mountain road is difficult to walk, how can he be faster than him?

When this happens, the simplest answer is that something happened to him!

A similar situation happened when protecting Yu Wei last time because of Lingniang's mischief, and the bigger reason is that Jiuqian always thought that Lingniang didn't know his true identity, so he was successfully plotted against.

But this time things are different.

This time he never took his guard lightly. It should be said that he immediately went on guard as soon as the man entered the ruined temple. Except for letting Shen Yuxian take a few steps first, he never stayed away from him at other times. He also watched them all the way, and if he saw him or not, it was the moment he just turned his head.

Jiuqian is a very principled god, he will never allow himself to make the same mistake twice in a row on the same issue.

Therefore, Shen Yuxian's absence this time can be said to have touched his negative scales.

Immediately, he stopped using the fox form to pursue, and a white man with a white light passed by a snow-clothed, thin-waisted and good-looking young man with fox ears appeared.

After Lingniang's incident last time, he learned to be smart, and remembered to carry a few more sets of clothes with him in case of emergencies.

The young master had extremely handsome eyebrows, he closed his eyes and made a swift decision on the spot, then opened his eyes and looked at the ground!

On the slippery muddy ground, a row of silvery footprints suddenly appeared, Jiu Qiansui let out a cold snort, and followed the footprints quickly.

When chasing to a muddy slope, the row of footprints was obviously not moving forward. The owner of the footprints seemed to stop here for a while, then suddenly stepped back three steps, and the footprints could not be found after three steps.

Nine thousand years old pondered: "This footstep disappeared here, so it can be seen that Shen Yuxian encountered an accident here."

Immediately, he stomped his feet: "Land! Land!"

After speaking, a little old man with a crutch in his hand and a slightly hunched back emerged from the ground.As soon as the little old man came out, he looked frightened, saluted and smiled apologetically: "Here, isn't this Lord Chitose? What kind of wind brought you here, Xiaoxian is the land here, I don't know your name is Xiaoxian What are your orders?"

Jiuqian said: "Just now, have you ever seen a boy holding a flowerpot?"

The land bent down again and again: "I saw it, I saw it! He was just taken away the moment before you came here."

"Take away?" Nine thousand years old said: "Took away by something?"

Tu Di said, "Has Chitose ever heard of Corpse Eaters?"

Nine thousand years old slapped his head!He said that he had smelled the smell on that person just now!

In the demon world, there is a monster named Corpse Eater. This monster looks very human-like. If it has stronger mana, it will be no different from ordinary people. Even immortals may not be able to recognize some powerful monsters.It's just that corpse eaters are not real people after all, no matter how similar they are, they can only pretend to be bedridden patients or patients suffering from intractable diseases when mixed in the crowd.

Why?Simple!Because cadavers eat human and animal dead bodies all the year round, there is a rotten smell from their flesh to bones.And this rotten smell will gradually become heavier as their cultivation base increases, so the stronger it is, the heavier the rotten smell will be on their bodies.

Speaking of which, Jiuqiantui had smelled this smell before, and it was thanks to a fairy.Mo about hundreds of years ago, one day, Nine Thousand Years Old went to the Immortal Emperor to beg for fruit wine as usual, and the Immortal Emperor ordered someone to set up a small table in a cool summer place to enjoy fruit wine dessert with him.Unexpectedly, they just took a bite of the dessert when a rotten stench penetrated into their nostrils, causing Immortal Emperor and Jiu Qiansui to cover their mouths and noses with their sleeves.

At that time, Jiu Qiantui was so stinky that his tail shook wildly, and he rolled his eyes and said, "It stinks! Did someone here kill someone and bury them casually? Now that the weather has turned hot, the corpse stinks?"

The Immortal Emperor immediately said: "Fox, don't talk nonsense."

Jiuqian looked at him, his tail was still wagging: "Then tell me why it stinks so much?"

The Immortal Emperor said: "It's just a corpse eater."

After finishing speaking, an immortal in black armor came up with a woman in pink, his face was livid, he covered his mouth and nose with a black cloth and knelt in front of the Immortal Emperor, saying: "Your Majesty, I have arrested the corpse eater who caused trouble. coming."

Jiu Qiantui looked at the woman he was holding in his hand, the woman was quite small, except for her complexion which was too pale, she was pretty in every way.Being held in the hands of Immortal Xuanjia, she struggled gently, her delicate and lively brows slightly frowned, her snow-white teeth bit her vermilion lips, and the tears in her dark eyes that could not be shed were very provocative.

Jiu Qiansui has smelled this smell for a long time, and he got used to it slightly. Seeing how pitiful she was, he couldn't help but said to the Immortal Emperor: "She is a corpse eater? If you eat corpses, you should eat dead corpses, right? But such a beautiful girl, Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

Immortal Xuanjia didn't speak, the Immortal Emperor moved his hand covering his mouth and nose, and said gently: "This taste is really good." At the end, he couldn't help but smile: "Could it be that Qiantose only saw her appearance, but didn't smell the smell?" ?”

Jiu Qiantui said: "Of course I smell it, but it's really hard to believe that this smell came from such a beautiful girl."

Hearing what he said, the woman seemed to have a chance to escape, as if she had grabbed a savior, and said to him tenderly: "Hey, my family is really not a ghoul. Honorable Master!"

Immortal Xuanjia let out a cold snort, and was about to speak, but Jiu Qiansui couldn't hear her clearly because the woman squeezed her voice on purpose, so she leaned over to cover her nose and said, "What? What did you just say?"

When he got so close, both the Immortal Emperor and the Immortal Xuanjia were taken aback. The Immortal Emperor ignored his identity, reached out and grabbed his collar and pulled it back, while the Immortal Xuanjia tacitly pulled the woman away. lift.Unexpectedly, it was too late, the woman had already opened her mouth to Jiu Qiansui's face: "Hey, my family is really not..."

Jiu Qiantui kept covering his nose, but whoever wanted to get close to this woman, she opened her mouth to him, and suddenly a stench came from it, making Jiu Qiantui feel nauseated again and again.

The Immortal Emperor didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he dragged him back, and waved at Immortal Xuanjia, who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh: "Go down, and deal with it as you like."

Immortal Xuanjia saluted and left, and when he walked a long way, Jiuqian still couldn't escape from the stench.The Immortal Emperor ordered someone to withdraw the drink just now, serve it again, brought a glass of fruit wine to feed Jiu Qiansui personally, and put the incense brought by Xian'e beside him, then said: "Qian Sui has learned a lesson now. Bar?"

Jiu Qiantui took a deep breath of the incense, and only then did he feel that he was alive a little bit.He unfolded the small fan with a "swish" and shook it vigorously: "I have learned a lesson, I have learned a lesson. But what is this corpse-eating man, and why is it so smelly?"

The Immortal Emperor poured wine for him: "Corpse eaters are a kind of monsters in the demon world. They look extremely human-like. The stronger their cultivation, the more they are no different from ordinary people. Some even immortals can't recognize them."

Jiu Qiantui unceremoniously enjoyed the fruit wine he poured, with a piece of snack in his mouth, slurring his words: "Really? They are really that powerful? Then if they meet, there is no way to identify them?"

The Immortal Emperor said: "Yes. The higher the cultivation level of the corpse eater, the stronger the smell of the rotting corpse."

Jiu Qiantui nodded: "That's it, then their cultivation base is high, isn't it very dangerous?"

The Immortal Emperor laughed loudly: "Thousands of years must know that in this world, there must be gains and losses, and the same losses must have gains. The corpse-eating people's cultivation is stronger, and the breath on their bodies will become stronger. Isn't it a way to save your life?"

Nine thousand years old said: "How to say?"

The Immortal Emperor said: "Just now Qiantui has seen their stench, that one is still not considered the best among corpse-eating people, but even if it is not, as a god, Qiantui was so smoked that he lost his mind for a moment. .. imagine what would happen if they were in danger and turned around to let out a puff of stench?"

That would surely turn their enemies on their backs.

After thinking about the scene, Jiu Qiantui really didn't want to try it himself: "That's really terrible." After speaking, he thought for a while, and then said: "The food of corpse eaters should be dead bodies, right?"

The Immortal Emperor nodded: "Not bad."

Immediately, he asked again: "Why does Chitose ask such a question?"

Nine thousand years old said: "They eat dead bodies, so it should have no effect on living creatures, but why do you send people to eradicate them?"

The Immortal Emperor said: "In the beginning they did eat dead corpses, but with the improvement of their cultivation and the increase in the number of corpse eaters, does Chitose think they will honestly eat dead corpses?"

Nine thousand years old did not speak.

The Immortal Emperor closed his eyes and said: "I let someone catch this one. Thousands of years know how bad she is. Her cultivation gradually deepened, and then she went to the human world to devour a rich lady. She deliberately left her skin and wore it on On myself, to hide the smell on my body, and turned into this young lady."

Nine thousand years old said: "This thing can eat living people?"

The Immortal Emperor said: "Of course it will. Even if it is not possible, at worst, if you catch a living person and kill him, it will be a corpse. The lady's two maids helped her undress and go to sleep that night, but they were killed and skinned alive by her. Eat them alive. The wealthy family had parents in their 70s, five children, and seven or eight young ladies under the children. Besides the master, more than 50 domestic slaves were all killed by her hands. She skinned it."

"The corpse eater has a lot of food. After eating the whole family, she put on five or six layers of skin and began to deceive the neighbors and passers-by. As a result, countless people died of her. So Chitose knows why I ordered people to arrest her." Is she?"

Nine thousand years old was already a little sad, nodded silently: "Well, I see."

Recalling where exactly he smelled this smell, the alarm bells rang in his heart, the blood all over his body was a little coagulated, he grabbed the ground and said: "Then, where did the corpse man take that son?" went?"

The land is a little embarrassed: "Xiaoxian doesn't know where they took him, but Qiantui can go to the corpse-eating man's lair to take a look."

Nine thousand years old said: "Where is their lair?"

The land said: "Monster Bone Mountain."

Nine thousand years old nodded, thanked him and started to leave: "Huh? Wait."

The earth raised his heart again: "What else can Qiantose order?"

Nine thousand years old said: "I reckon that a corpse eater broke into that ruined temple over there. I'm going to their lair now and I can't protect those people, so I have to trouble you to take care of them for me temporarily."

The land said: "Where is Qiantose talking, Xiaoxian will go over and watch, and will never let those things hurt a single hair of the person inside!"

Nine thousand years old thanked him again: "Hey, by the way, you might contact General Qing?"

The land shyly said: "Master Jiangqing is the great immortal in the fairy world, how can the little fairy contact him?"

Nine thousand years old was a little disappointed, but now was not the time to look for General Qing, so he hurriedly gathered his mind and rushed to the demon world.

At first glance, the demon world is very similar to the human world, and Nine Thousand Years rushed to the Bone Mountain without stopping.The name of the Mountain of Corpse Bones sounds a little scary, but after seeing this, one knows that this place is not a mountain of corpses as imagined.

Not only is it not a mountain of corpses, but the same as the human world, the city wall is used to surround the border, and when you enter it, there are lights and festoons everywhere, which is extremely hot.

It's just... Jiu Qiansui raised his head and looked at the city gate. On Huihong's city gate, the three characters "Mountain of Corpse Bones" were engraved in a formal manner, but the character "Mountain" was unknown and why it was used. Draw two strokes in a straight line, and re-write the word "city" below it.

Nine thousand years tilted his head to look at it for a while, and there was only one thought in his mind: Is this the "Mountain of Corpse Bones" or the "City of Corpse Bones"?If it is "City of Bones", then why not erase the wrong name and write it again, even if you just erase the wrong word and change it, it is much better than writing the word "city" with two strokes like this ah!

How unscrupulous the monsters here are, they don't even take care of their own city walls?

Entering with a dark face... Let's just call him "City of Bones".The city of bones looks huge from the outside, and it is also huge from the inside.

Jiu Qiansui passed by some strange stalls with squinting eyes, only to hear the stall owner shout: "Hey! Take a look, take a look, this is a stone that was smuggled from the fairy world, everyone, take a look at the texture. , this luster! Why don't you want a piece?"

A food vendor over there yelled, "Cockroach steamed buns with cabbage! No money for cockroaches! Hey, this little guy with fox tail and ears, would you like to try one? The steamed buns sold by my house are delicious!"

Nine thousand years old twitched his tail and said repeatedly: "Don't eat, don't eat!"

Walking into a large cave, there are colorful stones hanging in the cave to illuminate as lighting objects.It was full of banshees, and the banshees carried small baskets one by one, picking and choosing at some small stalls: "Hey, this thing is broken, you smell it so big, no matter how cheap it is, who would buy it?" ?”

"Why does this dress look good on me?"

"I want this piece of fabric! Anyone who dares to snatch it from me, be careful whose head I will bite off!"

"Why does this fabric belong to you? I obviously came first!"

"Is there a first-come-first-served basis when buying things? Of course, whoever gives the most money will get the things~"

……

Jiuqian was stunned for a while, and thought: Except for the difference in goods, food, sellers and buyers, there is not much difference between the human world and the demon world!

In addition, he also discovered that women and banshees also have a lot in common, for example, they both love beauty...

Silently moved to an inconspicuous stall, the stall owner greeted him enthusiastically: "Little brother, are you here to buy jewelry for your sweetheart? Look, we have a lot of jewelry styles here. If you like which one Just say, I'll give you a discount!"

As expected, Jiu Qiantui glanced around his booth and had a flash of inspiration when he saw a small snake made of black jade: "How much is this?"

The stall owner said: "You are too discerning! This is a unique treasure here, I will give you a price reduction, just this amount!"

Jiuqian looked at his gesture, scratched his head, and rummaged in his arms for a while: "How about I exchange this thing with you?"

The stall owner took it over and looked at it, then waved his hand and said, "No."

Jiuqian said: "Then, that's fine, I'm going to another house."

The stall owner stopped him: "Brother, you can change it if you want, but you have to add another one."

Nine thousand years old didn't know the market price, he just wanted to exchange for that little black jade snake.After the transaction was successful, one god and one demon held the things in their hands with strange smiles, and Jiu Qiansui took the little black jade snake back into his arms.

Smile kindly to the stall owner.

The stall owner also put away his things, put his hand to his lips and coughed lightly: "Hey, brother, what do you want?"

Nine thousand years approached him calmly, hooked his fingers at him to signal him to come closer.

The stall owner really came over, Jiu Qiantui whispered into his ear: "I'll tell you a secret."

Stall owner: "Yeah, yum!"

Nine Thousand Years: "Hmm... have you heard of Qishan Nine Thousand Years?"

The stall owner nodded: "Master Fox God is naturally thunderous!"

Jiu Qiantui was very satisfied: "I am the Fox God of Qishan Mountain." Finally, he unfolded the white jade folding fan from his sleeve, pressed it against the stall owner's throat, and said viciously: "Say! Where did you hide Shen Yuxian? If you don’t tell the truth, don’t blame Ben Chitose for killing you with a fan!!!”
