"Sinking Jia Cheng." Shen Luo said hastily.
"Brother Shen is also a suffering person. We can help as much as we can." Wang Qiu explained to several people.
After those people listened, they looked away, and one of them moved his buttocks and moved a little further in, making room for Shen Luo.
After Shen Luo sat down, he noticed that there was still an iron pot on the bonfire in front of him, which was stewed with unknown pieces of meat, and some blackened broth in the pot was "gurgling and gurgling". There was a thick mist of water.
"Brother Shen, don't be disgusted. These are the fox meat that was brought in a few days ago. For the sake of preservation, it was smoked and roasted. In the past few days, it was used to cook soup and eat it." Seeing this, Wang Qiu explained.
"It doesn't matter. It's not easy to have a stutter at this time of year, how can you be picky?" Shen Luo shook his head and said.
After that, he looked around again, and saw a simple wooden frame on the other side of the room against the wall, on which were hung several gray-white fox furs with some dark brown spots on them. blood.
The eyes of the fox fur have been gouged out, leaving only a pair of circular hollows, revealing the mottled wall color behind.
"It's hard to find other animals near Caishi Town, but there are many foxes. The people who lived here used to believe in those animals as the guardian gods, and even erected statues of them as offerings. Now all the people here are dead. Foxes It’s better to run all over the mountains and save the house.” The middle-aged man fished out a piece of black meat from the pot and said.
Shen Luo watched the dark red shreds of meat he bit off from the meat, and smelled the strange smell around him, and couldn't help but feel a little nauseous.
"Brother Shen, don't stand still, you're already starving, eat something, it doesn't matter." Seeing this, Wang Qiu persuaded.
"Then I won't be polite." As Shen Luo said, he was about to take the meat out of the pot when he suddenly heard a strange noise behind him.
He stopped his movements, turned his back and looked back, and saw a huge lacquered wooden box against the wall behind him, with a brass lock locked on it. If you don't look carefully, it's hard to notice the carving There is a tiny rune.
Shen Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked up at the runes carefully, but saw the box jump suddenly, and there was a strange noise from inside.
"This is..." Shen Luo said in surprise.
"Oh, I just caught a little fox yesterday, I'm not willing to kill it for now, so I locked it up first." Wang Qiu replied casually.
"Little bastard, I've been locked up all night, and I'm still uneasy." The middle-aged man snorted coldly, stepped forward, and kicked the box.
The box shook violently, and the movement inside really quieted down.
"Oh, it's hard for people in this world, and it's hard for these animals too, it's not easy..." Shen Luo sighed.
"Tch, I didn't realize that you are still a bodhisattva, so don't eat the meat in this pot, you will starve to death, you short-lived ghost." Hearing this, the middle-aged man sneered and cursed.
"Don't be rude, cough cough..." Wang Qiu reprimanded in a low voice, and coughed uncontrollably.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm talking too much." Shen Luo waved his hands quickly and said.
"It's getting dark just by looking at it. Brother Shen, don't rush on your way after eating. You can just stay here at night and don't go out again." Wang Qiu said.
"It's enough to be able to get a little food. How dare you continue to bother me. After I eat, I will leave by myself." Shen Luo thought for a while and said deliberately.
"Brother Shen, I didn't mean to...cough cough...to scare you. This Caishi town is not safe at night, and there are monsters and ghosts outside. If we accidentally encounter them, tomorrow we will have to go to the road to pick up your corpse. Already." Wang Qiu said hastily.
"What? There are monsters?" Shen Luo pretended to be surprised.
"The three-entry courtyard here used to be the ancestral house of a wealthy family in this town. There is a gossip mirror hanging at the door, which seems to be of some use. I have never seen those ghosts and ghosts coming into this courtyard. You can stay at ease for one night. , even if it’s not too late to leave tomorrow morning.” Wang Qiu continued.
"If that's the case, I won't be stubborn anymore, I'm going to disturb you a little bit." Shen Luo's face remained unchanged when he heard the words, and he responded, but thought secretly in his heart:
"It's really a lot of nonsense. Although there is a gossip mirror hanging outside the gate, there is no mana fluctuation on it at all. It is because the magic circle was set up in the courtyard just now, and that is the reason why the ghosts dare not approach?"
Chapter 0730 Fox Hunting
"Brother Shen, don't be too polite, eat something, and go to bed early, in the second half of the night, ghosts are crying and wolves are howling outside, so you may not be able to sleep." Seeing Shen Luo responding, Wang Qiu warned again.
"it is good."
Shen Luo responded readily, and his stomach let out a cooing "goo".
After that, he smiled and took a pair of black chopsticks from others, picked up a piece of meat from the pot, and put it to his mouth. Just as he was about to bite, there was a cry of a wild animal outside.
Immediately afterwards, there was a chaotic sound outside the courtyard, Wang Qiu's expression changed slightly, and he turned his head to look out the door.
"call……"
A gust of wind suddenly swept in, and the door of the room was blown open with a "crash", causing the bonfire in the house to splash sparks.
"Why, what's the matter?" Shen Luo covered the piece of black meat, carefully put it in his sleeve, then pretended to chew it a few times, and said in a panic, pursing his mouth.
The sky outside the courtyard has completely darkened, and the empty courtyard is pitch black, and nothing can be seen.
Wang Qiu retracted his gaze, saw Shen Luo's throat moving up and down, as if he was swallowing food, with a smile on his face, and said:
"It's okay, it's windy at night, it's always like this."
As if choking, Shen Luo thumped his chest twice, and smiled awkwardly at him.
"Brother Shen, eat slowly." Wang Qiu said.
"Enough is enough, how can you be so greedy." Shen Luo waved his hands hurriedly and said.
Seeing this, Wang Qiu didn't insist anymore.
The middle-aged man stepped forward cursingly, and closed the door again.
The moment the door was closed, Shen Luo suddenly caught a glimpse of a green light on the roof of the front yard, which seemed to be the light from the eyes of some kind of beast.
But he didn't say anything, but wrapped his clothes tightly around his body, leaned back, closed his eyes and took a nap.
At night, there was a sound of tiles shaking, and Shen Luo was about to open his eyes subconsciously, but he held back himself, pretending not to know, until the sound became more and more dense, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and pretended to be ignorant. Tsukuru woke up with a start.
When he opened his eyes to look, he found that the few people who were sitting around the fire were all standing behind the door with their backs to him, Wang Qiu and the middle-aged man stood aside.
"Brother Shen, are you awake?" Wang Qiu asked with a smile.
"What's wrong?" Shen Luo asked suspiciously.
"It's nothing, it's just that some animals have become more courageous and dared to enter this yard tonight." Wang Qiu said.
Hearing the words, the middle-aged man glanced back, and said impatiently: "What's the matter, is there something wrong with your Gu worm? Why hasn't he changed yet?"
"We underestimated this brother Shen, he didn't eat Gu meat at all, did he?" Wang Qiu turned his gaze to Shen Luo and asked.
After hearing this, Shen Luo stopped pretending, stood up, flicked his sleeves, and threw the black piece of meat on the ground.
"It's not that I don't want to eat it, it's that the meat prepared by you all is so poorly presented, it's disgusting to look at, how can I eat it?" Shen Luo spread his hands and said helplessly.
"In troubled times, if you are really a refugee, how can you care about the taste of this meat, just to eat and save your life. Brother Shen can talk like this, presumably he must be a monk who has already passed the Bigu, but he doesn't know the level?" Wang Qiu asked with a dry laugh.
"Fellow Daoist Wangqiu, see for yourself, what realm you say, that is what realm. But before that, I still want to ask, what are you planning to get out of these living corpses and set up a magic circle in the yard? "Shen Luo laughed.
Hearing that Shen Luo saw the magic circle they had set up, Wang Qiu was slightly surprised. Just as he was about to speak, a gust of wind suddenly blew outside the house, and the closed door was blown open again.
In the ruins outside the courtyard, there seemed to be a figure walking towards this side through the ruins of the atrium.
Shen Luo looked intently, and found a white-haired old man dressed in a brocade robe and holding a yew walking stick. Although his beard and hair were all white, his face did not look old at all, and his skin was also rosy. mean.
"Hey, it really is my own daughter, the old man came here in person." The middle-aged man grinned and said.
Wang Qiu glanced outside the courtyard, frowned slightly, and a look of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
At this time, behind the white-haired old man, pairs of green eyes lit up one after another, there were more than a hundred pairs.
"Brother Shen, at this time, I won't hide it from you. We are only here to hunt the fox demon and seize the demon pill to refine the elixir. You and I are both human races. In this situation, we should abandon the previous suspicions and work together. After the event, it is indispensable. How about your benefits?" Wang Qiu said suddenly with his eyes fixed.
"The situation is not right, so I choose to win over. Fellow Daoist Wangqiu is really good at judging the situation." Shen Luo said noncommittally.
After that, he took a few steps back and sat down on the lacquered wooden box by the wall.
Seeing this, Wang Qiu narrowed his eyes, and the murderous intent flashed away in his eyes, and then he smiled again, and said sincerely: "Then take a step back, as long as Brother Shen doesn't interfere, I will thank you with a generous gift afterward."
It can be seen that he is very concerned about the "things" in the box.
Shen Luo raised his hand and made a "please go" gesture, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
"Here we come." At this moment, the middle-aged man who had been keeping a close eye on the movement outside suddenly called out.
Shen Luo also looked towards the courtyard, and saw the white-haired old man stepping into the courtyard, the eyes of a stone lion buried under the broken wall first lit up with golden lights, and a tethered horse standing by the wall A rune immediately appeared on the pile.
Then, a stone plaque with the words "Stay in the same place" and a piece of dark dead wood buried in the soil also lit up a pattern, and the golden light gushing from the stone lion's eyes hit the stone plaque, the dead wood And on the horse-hitting post, golden rays of light refracted each other, weaving a large golden net in the courtyard.
The white-haired old man was standing in the center of the golden net, imprisoned by an invisible force, and his figure became blurred and distorted, making it hard to see clearly.
Shen Luo looked at the refracted and distorted light, thinking in his heart whether he could break through it, so as to estimate the level of the magic circle and the strength of the two people in front of him.
When he first arrived outside Jilei Mountain, he found the magic circle here in mid-air, so he came here directly to check it out. Just to conceal his identity, he blocked all the power of his breath and spiritual consciousness, so that the Wang Qiu couldn't see how deep he was.
And judging from the aura emanating from those two people at the moment, it should be only in the middle stage of Mahayana, so Shen Luo was not in a hurry to make a move, but chose to sit on the sidelines, intending to see how the situation changed before making any plans.
Chapter 0731 Short skirt girl
"Bold and lunatic, you have slaughtered the descendants of our fox tribe in our Jilei Mountain for several days, and you dare to arrest the young girl of this king. If you release it safely at this moment, you can still wait for your life. If not, this king will definitely make you worse off." Die." The old man trapped in the formation looked normal and shouted.
"Senior Fox King, we have already caught him, but it is impossible to let him go like this. If you want to get your daughter back, you have to break through the golden formation first." Wang Qiu shouted with a smile.
"Fox King? Could it be the Long Live Fox King of Jilei Mountain?" Shen Luo asked suspiciously when he heard the words.
"court death."
Hearing an angry shout from the white-haired old man in a brocade robe, he raised his yew crutch in his hand, and pointed towards the void suddenly, thousands of crystal lights were refracted from the purple prism inlaid on the top of the crutch, towards all directions. Save and shoot away.
Shen Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, only to feel that the purple crystal light was too sharp and dazzling, almost stabbing his own eyes.
Wang Qiu and the middle-aged man were also shocked, they all turned sideways, not daring to look directly.
Sharp sounds kept coming from the courtyard, and streams of crystal light cut the surrounding void into fragments like sharp swords, and the golden array in the void could not stop the sharp light at all, and were cut off one by one.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The horse tethering posts and stone lions standing in the courtyard exploded one after another, turning into countless flying stones.
The brocade robed old man who was standing in the courtyard just now, obviously didn't see any movement, suddenly turned into a series of afterimages, flashed from the courtyard into the room, and almost bumped into Wang Qiu.
The latter was startled, stepped back suddenly, and pulled his hands in the void, and the four living corpses immediately blocked in front of him like puppets on strings.
And the middle-aged man was also frightened, and fell to the ground.
They never imagined that the golden formation that should be able to easily trap the true immortal monks could not resist the long live fox king even for a moment, and the task entrusted by the cloud treading beast could not be completed at all.
The brocade-robed old man's aura eased a little, his eyes swept over several people, and his eyes fell on Shen Luo's body, asking:
"Are you a partner too?"
"Senior misunderstood, this junior just passed by and happened to see something lively. The person you are looking for is here, and this junior helped take care of it for a while." Shen Luo patted the wooden box under him and said.
With that said, he jumped off the wooden box.
"There is a forbidden talisman given by my king on this box, there is no way to lift the forbidden, you don't want to release that little fox." Seeing Shen Luo's behavior like this, Wang Qiu felt great hatred in his heart, and said.
"Your forbidden talisman has some skills, but this box doesn't look like a natural treasure, and it's not difficult to break it with strength." Shen Luo said.
"If you want to use brute force to break the ban, you can try it, but it's hard to say whether the little fox will survive when the ban talisman explodes." Wang Qiu said with a sneer.
Long Live Fox King frowned when he heard this, obviously being caught by this move.
He raised his hand and rubbed it, and a cluster of faint purple flames lit up on his fingertips, flickering slightly, but without any heat.
"Ziyou Bone Fire doesn't burn the body, it doesn't burn the soul, it only refines the bones, I don't know if you've heard of it?" The Long Live Fox King sneered, looking at Wang Qiu.
The latter couldn't help shivering when he heard this.
The drooping eyelashes also trembled slightly. The Ziyou Bone Fire, Samadhi True Fire, and Red Lotus Karmic Fire are equivalent to heaven, earth, and different fires. The bones of a person are reduced to powder, but the body remains uninjured. It becomes like a pile of mud, life is worse than death.
"I'll give you three breaths of time to open the restriction immediately, otherwise I'll let you taste the power of this Ziyou bone fire." Long Live Fox King said coldly.
Seeing this, Shen Luo felt a little strange in his heart, and couldn't help but look up and down at the brocade robed old man in front of him.
After Wang Qiu heard this, he was obviously a little scared, and a look of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
However, when he saw Long Live Fox King wave his palm and was about to hit Ziyou Bonefire, his expression changed suddenly, and he hurriedly said: "Fox King, don't worry, I'll lift the ban right now... it's just this talisman It is unusual, it will take some time to untie it, I hope you can wait patiently for a while."
Long Live Fox King was about to speak, when Shen Luo said: "Don't believe him, he is just delaying time."
"You..." Wang Qiu was furious when he was exposed.
It's just that before he finished his sentence, a cloud of icy purple fire had already flown in front of him.
Wang Qiu fell silent for a moment, walked quickly to the wooden box, made a seal with his hands, shot out a beam of mana from his fingertips, and hit the forbidden talisman on the wooden box.
I saw a pale golden light on the talisman attached to the mouth of the box, and a long chain of runes began to emerge from the wooden box, like a chain, wrapping the whole box more than ten times.
Wangqiu frowned tightly, and softly drank "untie", the long chain of runes wrapped around the wooden box began to shrink rapidly, and disappeared from the box one by one.
Seeing that the last third of the runes were left, there was a sudden roar in the yard.
A tall figure with wings on its back and the head of a dog descended from the sky, and landed heavily on the ruins of the front yard. The air waves aroused around it swept over the courtyard and rushed into the house.
The Long Live Fox King figure standing in the room was violently rushed by the air wave and dissipated like smoke.
