fox kidnapper

Xue Zun is a scholar, a poor scholar, very poor.He reads books, but he didn't put his brain to death. Even if he reviews the old learning every day, he still has his own opinions.

For example, there are too many ghosts and ghosts in the unofficial history and anecdotes, too numerous to enumerate.He would tap on the book with his fingers, with a questioning tone, as if he had become an official with awe-inspiring authority.He pointed to the face of the ancient blue book and asked. "The mountain goblin in your stomach, is there one thing that is real? You must not mislead your children and deceive future generations."

The blue book was originally silent, like a white-bearded Confucian who has lost all his teeth.The wind blew his face away, and he stubbornly turned his head away from Xue Zun's hand.As if provocative.

Snow bottles or reading books make people dizzy, incoherent, and crazy. "Why don't you talk? You have a fake thing in your stomach. Where are there monsters in this world?" He murmured. "Is there really a fox that can be shaped like a human and confuse the world? You can't be the 'Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio' with a different cover, right?"

Blue Book ignored.

Snow bottle. "Huh? Right?"

"..."

This is the last sentence that Xue Zun finished leisurely at the inn.The fair-faced and handsome boy from the Bifengxue Inn came to knock on the door, Xue Zun knocked on Blue Book's face, and the boy knocked on his door.Already reincarnated.Through the carved and simple Nagato, the boy's voice pierced through the hollowed-out patterns into Xue Zun's ears. "Guest officer, your guest room has expired, should you continue or not?" His voice was crisp and immature like a teenager.

To continue, not to continue, that is the question.Xue Zun put the book on the table, Bai Yu's hand reached into his cuff, and messed around randomly, knowing that he was already short of money and penniless.He raised his brows and said outwardly. "An inn that eats people! It costs 150 copper coins a night, you cannibals!" There was a wooden door outside the house, and it was surprisingly quiet.Xue Zun thought to himself, he still met Ruan Persimmon, if the servant was aggressive and tried to chase people away, he would not be able to resist, and he would lose his academic spirit.So compromise. "Then, can I leave a corner of the firewood room for me?"

The boy laughed.Quack had the illusion of a ghost grinding its teeth. "Heh, the guest officer is just joking. Our shelter from wind and snow is always overcrowded. The firewood in the firewood room is as high as a mountain. If it doesn't arrive in a day, it will be burned at the bottom of the pot. The small one is also thinking about the guest officer. If you are stupid The second brother went to gather firewood, picked up the guest officer and threw them into the fire, how could it be possible? Here, the guest officer will not be unjust if he is not dead?" Although the young man did not see his face, he knew it just by listening to him Kindness, even if he doesn't move his hands and feet to kick him out of the house, but his words are vicious and yin and yang, which is unbearable.

Pian Xuezun was stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment. "Then...horses...stables are also fine."

"There are other honorable horses in the stables, so how can we accommodate you, guest officer?"

"..." Xue Zun couldn't care less to talk to himself with the blue book. He was driven out by the young servant, who drove him away very gently, and helped him drag the suitcase outside the door very gently. A smiling face. "Welcome to Bifengxue Inn, the guest officer is welcome to come again next time. I won't see you off!" Xue Zun turned his head and saw the boy's face clearly, his brows were slightly yellow, and his eyes were twisted fiercely, so clever.Xue Zun also resigned himself to his fate. He carried his suitcase on his back and panted heavily. Two months after the imperial examination, he had only lived in Fengxue for three nights, but he was penniless and had nowhere to go.Not only was he sad and thoughtful, but the corners of his mouth were bitter. "Xiao Lang-jun! Xiao Lang-jun—here—"

A sudden human voice sounded suddenly, making Xuezun jump in shock.Following the sound, he saw a squint-eyed old man sitting under a shady business stall not far away, shaking a tattered cattail fan, looking at him with a smile.In front of the booth, there is a pile of juicy and tender watermelons that are dripping green and shining golden under the scorching sun.

"Dare to ask..." Xue Zun tentatively said.

"Mr. Xiao Lang, come here, how can you stand under the sun all the time?" the old man said.He fanned the mosquitoes and flies that were parked on the watermelon in front of him, looking very enthusiastic.

Although Xue Zun was surprised, no matter what the man wanted to do, he was indeed getting more and more dizzy after being exposed to the sun.Carrying the suitcase, he walked towards the melon shed stall, and quickly stood in a shady place.Immediately he felt relaxed, and he bowed to the old man. "Dare to ask the old man why he called me here?"

"Does the gentleman have nowhere to go?" Gua Weng said with a smile.

"Well..." he said. "Exactly. It's a big day and I don't know where to go until the palace exam in two months."

"Are you going to take the exam?"

"Exactly."

Gua Weng laughed. "Students are suffering. You want to find a place to shelter from the rain. There is a place for this old man. I don't know if Mr. Xiaolang is willing to go."

"Where?" He asked humbly.

"There is a wild mountain in the south of the city, and there is a Ningxin Temple on the mountainside of the wild mountain. There are many meditation rooms in the temple. You can leave the young master to hide and read quietly." Gua Weng shook the broken cattail fan, and the yellow and old leaves on the cattail fan hung down in strands, following the fan Shaking and shaking, like a late dancer with broken bones who still loves to dance in the air.Gua Wengsao saw that Xue Zun had a hint of hesitation, and said again. "Mr. Xiao Lang is wondering why I told you about that place?"

Xue Zun looked at him without saying a word.It's not that he thinks bad about people, but that he is out of town, so he has to be more careful.

Gua Weng Road. "I have a young son who was extremely intelligent when he was young. Others said that he was not as temperamental as me and his mother... It was because he was too intelligent. When he was 15 years old, he saw through the world and said to me. 'Father, the suffering in the world is unbearable. It's over. If I devote my whole heart to Buddha, maybe I can be happier.' Unexpectedly, after he said these words, he went to the wild mountain alone and became a monk in Ningxin Temple. His mother and I have persuaded him to come back many times, but where is he? It is our second pillar, he is already a monk with the name of compassion. He also said but please don’t come up the mountain again, he doesn’t want to see you again.” Speaking of this, he burst into tears and threw the broken cattail fan straight to his face cover.

Xue Zun couldn't help but be moved. "You want me to go to Ningxin Temple to see him?"

Gua Weng nodded slightly. "It's enough to just look at how he's doing."

Poor parents in the world.Xue Zun sighed secretly.But what the two pillars did was really strange, they suddenly escaped into Buddhism, they didn't even recognize their parents, which somewhat violated filial piety, but seeing the old man love him so much, Xue Zun didn't dare to say these words.Only agreed. "Okay. I'll go and see him, and I'll let you know when I get down the mountain at the end. Thank you, old man, for pointing out where to stay. This junior will never forget it."

Gua Weng looked at him and smiled, he stopped shaking his cattail fan and didn't cover his face.Looking at Xue Zun's leaving back, his eyes became darker.It's not the old man's sense of aging, it's a little more gloomy and treacherous.

Xue Zun is a wonderful person.It's not because of how handsome he is, but because of the intangible but visible clean aura that others don't have, combined with years of immersion in the bookish atmosphere, the bright temperament that has penetrated into the bone marrow often makes people awe-inspiring and affectionate.He is a man with a poetic and bookish spirit.No lies.He was wearing a coarse white shirt. During the journey, the sleeves of his clothes fluttered like white lotuses blooming at the beginning of summer.Xue Zun's face is not the kind of peerless handsomeness, but a faint and unknowingly captivating elegance.The eyes are as clear as still water in a deep pool, and when the wind blows, they can be wrinkled and calmed down again.However, these delicate eyes are always dull and naive.

After all, he is just a scholar, with no strength to restrain a chicken.All the suitcases were pressed against his back, like a piece of dark iron hooping him, he was gasping for breath, and he couldn't help sweating profusely.With a flick of his sleeve, he wiped the fine sweat from his brow. Now he just left the lively market and walked at the foot of the deep mountain.Looking up, the high and lingering mountaintop has been covered with a layer of cold fog, the sky above the cold fog is darkening, and there are faint rumbles of thunder.Xue Zun panicked, it's getting late, he can't delay any longer, if he meets a man-eating monster in the wild mountains, how can he escape with his bones.Besides, if it rains suddenly, where can he hide?As soon as I was anxious, my steps became chaotic, and I only heard the sound of thunder exploding above my head. Li Lei and the Lightning Tiger were as majestic as before their eyes. "Boom", "Boom" and "Boom" are endless.How could Xue Zun be so close to him, he had been so frightened before, his feet slipped immediately, and he fell from the hillside, his bones and suitcases entangled, making it hard to separate.The pain made him cry out in a hurry, and he took a mouthful of mud when he opened his mouth.When he fell solidly, he flattened on the muddy ground.The terrified thunder disappeared, and the cloud-covered zenith slowly turned clear under the scene of the snow bottle with the sky as its cover and the ground as its bed.The thunder disappeared, the lightning disappeared, and the dark clouds gradually turned from black to white.

Xue Zun was throbbing all over, and he would not be able to get up for a while.He just stared at the sky like that, staring at the dark cloud-covered sky slowly shed golden rays of evening light, hitting his face like pieces of gold.He belatedly spit out the dirt in his mouth and struggled to get up.Fortunately, he bundled the suitcase tightly and did not fall apart, but it was also mixed with plaster and was appallingly dirty.Xue Zun didn't have time to think about these things. He picked up the suitcase to put it on his back, but suddenly felt a cold toe, and lowered his head, he couldn't help but smile wryly.The most normal pair of shoes fell apart, and the toes wrapped in white cloth socks flexed and stretched several times under Xue Zun's gaze.

"Misfortunes never come singly." He laughed at himself.

As he limped and walked slowly, he was amazed along the way. In the woods, he saw several charred craters caused by the explosions. Even the surrounding trees were not spared.He looked scared in his heart, it was inevitable that he was not knocked down by a thunder, how could he dare to think about that feeling, he didn't even dare to think about it.However, he counted the number of scorched pits all the way in a vicious way, and he never got tired of it, like a child who just learned to count. "One, two, three, four, five... six... six..."

When he counted to six, he visibly paused.He found something other than scorched pits.A weird black thing.He cautiously stepped forward, squinting his eyes for a closer look.After looking at it for a long time, I couldn't see what it was.So he broke off a branch, and frowning, he used the branch to pull it out.Poke it and he recognizes it.

That is a fox.To be precise, it was the tail of a fox.A docked tail, black.Blacker than the burnt pit.

This is definitely not the black that was blown out by thunder.Xue Zun is so sure.This is the severed tail of an ink fox.Said in the blue book. "The fox is also a demon. It is beautiful in appearance, and you are easily confused by it. It is said that there are foxes in Qingqiu, with nine tails, good at changing, cunning, and unmatched by humans. There are many fox monsters, including silver, red, and ink. , and gray are equally divided, but each fox is completely different. Don't be careless to get the right way, and you will never recover from death—" Xue Zun couldn't help sighing when he thought about this.Which poor fox is being chased and bombarded by Tianlei, and I don't know whether it is dead or alive.Even though he thinks so, he still can't reconcile with Blue Book. He thinks that Blue Book is the kind of stinky Taoist priest who blows his beard and stares everywhere, bluffs and tricks people into getting money. Convergence.Thinking about it this way, Mohu who was chased and bombarded by Tianlei was just too unlucky, just happened to be blasted by thunder.

By some strange coincidence, Xue Zun picked up the severed tail with hands like white jade that had been covered with plaster.He threw the branch far away, as if it hit a piece of grass, and the grass was hunting.He held the broken tail in his hand and kept rubbing it, turning it over and over for a closer look.After watching for a long while, he said. "The fur is shiny and jet-black, and there is no stray hair that disturbs people's hearts. It is really a very beautiful fox tail! I don't know how beautiful the owner of this tail is!"

He sighed while stroking the fox tail, for a moment he didn't know that the black blood overflowing from the section of the severed tail had quietly drawn to his white wrist like porcelain, the moment the wind blew, the blood seemed to be sucked into his flesh Disappear.Xue Zun didn't know it at all, he hid the fox tail in his sleeve and was about to turn around when a thought flashed through his mind. "This fox has lost his tail. I don't know if he is still around here. What should he do if he lost his tail?" Thinking of this, he wanted to go around the scorched pit, but as soon as he lifted his foot, he heard a sound from afar. Everywhere I thought of the neighing sound of a snake, and the snake letter came from the dark green grass.There was a gloomy feeling on Xue Zun's back, and he was so frightened that he dragged his broken shoes with exposed toes and limped away.The snake is a ruthless guy, you must not be bitten by it.

In the green shade not far away, a pair of inky dark eyes narrowed silently in the darkening shadow of the trees.A black fox was covered with scars, and the corners of its mouth were stained with black blood, which had not yet dried off.

Xuezun is tired.I know that I will definitely not be able to make it to Ningxin Temple tonight.Fortunately, he traveled long distances to come to the imperial city to take the exam, eat and sleep in the open, weather the wind and rain, and sleep on the ground is a cliché, and it is not worth mentioning.But after all, it is a deep mountain and old forest, it is normal for Xue Zun to be afraid.He lit a fire familiarly, leaned against the dirty suitcase and fell asleep.

While he was in a deep sleep, a pair of black boots with dense embroidered patterns came quietly rolling over the grass and rocks.The flames flickered, and the pair of black boots reflected were extremely luxurious and compelling, and the black robe floated, giving off a fierce and oppressive aura.

I do not know how long it has been.He was awakened by a small rustling sound.One hand, a slender and beautiful hand with distinct joints and firm feeling, was lying in front of her eyes.He was holding a thick, half-burnt tree branch in his hand, and the disordered branches of the tree branch pressed against his throat like a knife.It was rare for Xue Zun to wake up immediately, his eyes followed the lean but powerful arms upwards, the black robe with intricate patterns embroidered, and a black jade around his neck, shining brightly beside the fire.A few strands of black hair hang down from the overly fair neck, wrapping around the neck and meeting the collar, giving off a lingering smell.A sharp and well-defined chin, thin lips, a tall and exquisite nose bridge, and a red flame in the hell-like eyes.The sharp sword eyebrows frowned slightly at this moment.A beauty, a strange and sudden beauty.For a moment, Xue Zun only thought of these.

He stared at the black-robed man for a long while without speaking.The man held a half-burned tree branch that was emitting green smoke, and held it across his neck like a sword, and suddenly smiled silently.

Seeing him, Xue Zun smiled.At least he thought he wouldn't be such a bad person, he said. "First... the first time we met, it was snowing the bottle. The snow of the snowflakes, the bottle of the wine bottle. I don't know—what is your name?" Even though he tried his best, the man's hands didn't shake, and he stood there like a statue, coldly confronting him.

He secretly sighed that it was not good, he met bandits who robbed him in the deep mountains and old forests.But where does he have money enough for him to rob, he has no money and nothing long.Besides, how can there be such a luxuriously dressed, gorgeous and eye-catching bandit?

Xue Zun swallowed under the eyes of the black-robed man.Again. "I...I have no money..."

The man suddenly sneered, retracted the branch, and threw it into the fire suddenly. The branch fell into the sea of ​​fire, and the green leaves curled into ashes in an instant, the trunk was black and red, and there was a fatal "crackling" sound as if it was burning. Yuzun's body.

"My name is Fan Mo." The man in black robe said.The sound is surprisingly pleasant, like jade congcong ringed with jingle bells. "Turn it over, the ink of the ink."

"……Um."

"It's late at night and the dew is heavy, but I saw your fire was burning, so I came to keep warm." He looked sideways at the snow bottle. "Brother, don't blame me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a trace of red blood leaked from the corner of his pale mouth.The blood slid to the beautiful chin, gathered into a tear, smashed into the corner of the clothes, and disappeared without a trace.he laughed. "scared you."
