downstream

Chi Xingqian was taking a nap, with a piece of yellow and green thatch dangling from his mouth, his legs dangled leisurely for a while.

The sun shone all over, and it was as dim as orange peel.

He turned over and buried his face in the pillow, and slept twenty hours a day, which was hardly enough.

Suddenly, the simple door made of a few logs was knocked, carefully and persistently knocked.

"Chi Daoist..." A skinny old man outside the door finally whispered.

Chi Xingqian was helpless, and patted his forehead hard with his slender hand to wake himself up.

Due to his prolonged sleepiness, his skin looked abnormally white.

The wooden door creaked and opened with difficulty, and Chi Xingqian looked at the old man helplessly.

"Uncle Zhang, I have told you several times that I am not a Taoist leader."

Chi Xingqian straightened his robes, and the coarse clothes covered his tall figure, his cold demeanor was covered by grunts of complaints, like a handsome young man whose dreams had been disturbed.

Old Uncle Zhang wiped the sweat from the corner of his forehead, he seemed to be finally relieved when he came out, in his eyes, all capable people who know a little bit of Taoism are Taoist priests.

Old Uncle Zhang said: "Master Chi... No, Mr. Chi, please go to the village head Ma's house to have a look, Ma Nong's daughter has been bewitched..."

Chi Xingqian raised his eyebrows, "Successful?" He yawned and walked out, and said casually, "I'll go and have a look, don't follow me."

"Okay." Uncle Zhang nodded repeatedly.

Jiujia Village is not a big place, and there are many strange things. Chi Xingqian remembers that this month has been the fourth time someone has been "bewitched by evil spirits". Evil spirits and ghosts can't get in the way.

Ma's house was lifeless, and before approaching, there was a strange smell.

Chi Xingqian slapped open the crumbling door panel, and accurately caught a hammer that was suddenly nailed from the front.

"Go away..." The voice was broken and trembling.

Chi Xingqian helped Manon, who was curled up in a corner, and motioned him to walk towards the door.

Manon looked like he was about to cry. "Xiaozi...help her..."

Chi Xingqian raised the hammer towards him, and teased: "This girl has really strong hands."

After Ma Nong took a few steps, Chi Xingqian immediately flew forward and grabbed a section of the white arm, and threw the pale-faced woman to the ground hard.

As soon as the woman's back hit the ground, she jumped up from the ground and turned around deftly, staring at the person in front of her with red eyes.

"Not yet?" Chi Xingqian smiled.

A cloud of white mist slowly condensed between the generous palms, about half a punch, and suddenly hit the woman named Xiaozi.

I saw the mist blooming in the air, getting thicker and thicker, and finally it was so chaotic that it was completely impossible to see. It condensed into a white solid, trembled twice on the ground, and exploded suddenly.

The dead body of a white dog demon lay lying on the ground.

The one lying next to him was Xiaozi.

Chi Xingqian took out a walnut, and the corpse of the dog demon instantly turned into black mist and got into the walnut. He casually stuffed it into his arms, without even looking at Xiaozi, and walked out.

Chi Xingqian said: "I'm fine, but be careful recently, don't go to the back mountain to pick herbs."

Ma Nong just heard the movement inside, wanted to see but didn't dare to approach, when he saw someone coming out, he hurriedly said yes, and just walked two steps with a limp, he suddenly turned back in doubt: "How does the young master know that the little girl is going?" Did you go to the back mountain to collect medicine?"

The back mountain is a cemetery, and girls are timid, and generally dare not go alone.

Chi Xingqian waved his hand and left without answering. He couldn't tell the uncle that he liked sleeping there.

The cemetery is shaded and not exposed to the sun all year round. Many strange plants grow endlessly, and some of them are medicinal herbs that can cure diseases and save people. Too small.

But the possession of the dog demon has absolutely nothing to do with the cemetery.

His bony fingers stroked the hem of his clothes, and went home to catch up on sleep.

The days are long, and after all the calculations, another day has passed.

into the night.

Before the third watch, the fresh smell of blood permeated the air, Chi Xing frowned, and immediately chased after the place with a strong smell of blood.

Sure enough, Manon's heart was pierced, black blood overflowed his mouth and nose, and his death was horrific.

Xiaozi's limbs were stiff and leaning against the tank that stored open-air water in the yard, his head drooping silently.

Chi Xingqian's cold eyes did not have any warmth, and with a wave of his long sleeves, he had entered the room.

The white dog demon quickly jumped to the stove, its whole body was crystal clear, different from ordinary monsters, what lingered above its head was aura.

The walnut in his arms was beating restlessly, and Chi Xingqian took it out and played with it on his fingertips.

The dog demon glanced at Walnut, and immediately charged into an attacking stance.

"Why are you in such a hurry to die?" Chi Xingqian smiled, threw the walnut in the direction of the dog demon, and held it firmly in the palm of his hand. When the dog demon bared his teeth angrily, he heard a "click" .

Walnuts are broken.

Chi Xing clapped his hands, as if shaking off dust, and said loudly: "I wanted to make a mobile coffin for it, but it seems that it has no luck."

The dog demon roared and rushed forward, before it touched the clothes, it was slammed to the ground by an invisible force, the sound was dull.

"Don't look at me like that." Chi Xingqian went up and kicked the dog demon, wiped off the mud on the soles of his shoes, and said slowly, "You have a good eye, that girl's heart is so fresh and warm."

"It's actually you... who hollowed out her heart" said the dog demon.

Chi Xingqian said: "Otherwise? Anyway, hasn't she been dead for three years?"

He had met Xiaozi, but it was three years ago, the day Xiaozi died.

The dog demon said: "We are both demons, the weak prey on the strong, I have nothing to say."

Chi Xingqian was obviously very dissatisfied with being simply and rudely called a demon, he frowned and said, "Don't mess around with relatives, you and your companions are demons, I really am not."

He kicked a wooden stool with great interest and sat in front of the dog demon, and said with a smile, "Xiaozi was taken away by you when she was collecting medicine three years ago, right? I guess she will not regret it, after all, you serve her Father three years."

Although in the past three years, it has been burrowing into Xiaozi's heart every day, using this body as nourishment to feed another of its kind.

Until today when Chi Xingqian forcibly dug out his heart.

When it restored its demon power in its heart, it didn't realize who did it. When it fled, it only saw Manon guarding outside in a panic, with hatred buried in its heart.

When it pierced Manon's heart, it was angry and unwilling.

The dog demon's head hangs weakly, his eyes are closed tightly, and the feeling of the demon power being pulled away from his body is not very comfortable.

Chi Xingqian continued: "Spiritual light lingers on the top, this is kindness, what a pity."

After finishing speaking, he curled his lips, feeling that watching a monster die was really meaningless, so he went back to catch up on sleep.

Playing a game in the middle of the night, I have been really busy recently.

Chi Xingqian knew that Xiao Zi would die that day three years ago, and he also knew that Ma Nong's life would not be long.

He has seen through other people's fate too many times, and he finds it boring and doesn't like to talk to him.

From the beginning to the end, what he cared about was only one person's fate.
