In winter in Liaodong, days without snow are colder than days with snow.
Yin Xiu stood in the courtyard, looking at Ma Xiaoyu in front of her.
"What's the matter, Brother Xiu?"
As Ma Xiaoyu spoke, she came closer again, and the fragrance on her body became stronger and stronger.
"If you can't do it, how about I help you?"
Ren Qi's voice came from inside the room.
"Nothing!" Yin Xiu cursed.
In response to Yin Xiu's curse, there was a slight sound of Ren Qi turning over on the kang.
Only then did "Ma Xiaoyu" react and asked in surprise: "Do you know who I am?"
"Wrong," Yin Xiu shook his head, "You are not a human being."
"Oh?"
Ma Xiaoyu burst into weird laughter, "Then tell me, am I a human or an immortal?"
"I told you, you are a monster."
Yin Xiu took out a yellow talisman from his pocket, "You know what? If you look like someone else, like Liu Banxian or Ren Qi, or even Hai Dongqing, I will still have time to play with you.
But you want to be like her. Why, do you think I can't hit women? ”
"No, it's because I smelled something different between you two from a distance, so I changed into her appearance. I just didn't expect that you are not a womanizer."
As Ma Xiaoyu spoke, milky white light spots began to escape from her body.
"It's not that I don't get close to women, it's this guy who doesn't get close to women!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Xiu flicked his wrist, and the talisman paper with the energy of dragon and tiger flew out, and the arrow shot at the opponent.
As soon as the talisman came out, white light surged from Ma Xiaoyu's body quickly, turning into a shadow and running quickly.
How could Yin Xiu let her go like this? She quickly followed her footsteps and at the same time turned around and shouted, "Ren Qi!"
The next second, Ren Qi's figure jumped out of the window, holding a sword.
The two of them didn't even need to make eye contact. They chased the white shadow left and right, running and jumping through the dilapidated village.
After climbing over the fences, Yin Xiu and Ren Qi's figures shattered the moonlight and startled a few drowsy yellow dogs.
The eighth level of the entrance, coupled with the blessing of Taibao Shenxing, made Yin Xiu follow the white shadow at an extremely fast speed.
Even so, the complex terrain of the village still provided some convenience for the soul that could pass through the wall. After going around a few corners, the white shadow suddenly disappeared. Ren Qi was standing on the roof, rushing toward him. greet.
"Brother Yin, that shadow..."
"Ada!"
Before Ren Qi finished speaking, he was kicked in the face by Yin Xiu and fell from the roof. Then his body began to disintegrate and returned to a white light.
"Damn it, you didn't even keep your brothers!"
The shadow cursed angrily and ran away faster.
However, Yin Xiu had already prepared the charm in her hand and her sleeves were bulging.
Bang!
The talisman papers connected head to tail form a long dragon, flying in front of the target, and forming a circular barrier in front of the opponent.
"The sky and the earth are infinite, the universe borrows the law!"
A Bagua appeared on the circular barrier and emitted a golden light, which caused the white figure to stagnate. At the same time, it let out a scream and hurriedly burrowed into the ground.
Yin Xiu immediately stepped forward. At the last moment when the figure escaped into the ground, he stretched out his hand to fish it out. He managed to catch it with his peripheral vision, but finally let the figure escape.
"Only a little."
Yin Xiu stretched out his palm and found that he was holding several silver-white animal hairs in his hand.
"How's it going?"
With the sound of breaking wind, Ren Qi quickly shot forward and landed in front of Yin Xiu.
"That's it." Yin Xiu spread her palms and showed him the animal hair in her hands.
"That's all?"
"Otherwise, what else do you want?" Yin Xiu rolled her eyes at him, "If you had done it earlier, we would have been having midnight snacks right now."
Ren Qi said dissatisfied: "Didn't you tell me to leave it alone?"
"Then you won't be more enthusiastic? You have some vision and you can do things by yourself. Why do you really stop when others tell you not to move?"
Ren Qi took a deep breath and gave Yin Xiu a thumbs up, "Yin Xiu, you shouldn't be a Taoist priest. You should be an official. Even those military ministers and bachelors are not as flexible, agile and skillful as you." Thoughts.”
"Thank you, thank you."
While the two were talking, Ma Xiaoyu and Hai Dongqing also rushed over.
One held a ruler in his hand, the other held a hunting bow, and then Liu Banxian came over with a group of villagers.
"How's it going? Do you see what it is?" Liu Banxian asked.
Yin Xiu didn't answer, just opened his palm and showed a few animal hairs to everyone.
Hai Dongqing picked up a piece of hair, looked at it under the light, and smelled it under his nose, "This is fox hair."
"Hey! It's really Marshal Gale!"
Wei Tianyou knelt on the ground, leading the surrounding villagers to kneel down as well, and kowtowed to the surroundings.
"Marshal Gale, calm down! Calm down!"
"What are you yelling about?"
Hai Dongqing frowned and said to Yin Xiu: "This is the hair of a little fox."
"Little fox?"
"Yes, the old fox's hair will be rough and darkened, but this rubbed hair is obviously that of a cub." Hai Dongqing affirmed.
"Do you have regular contact?"
"I don't come into contact with them often, but I hit them often, but I have never seen white or silver foxes."
Obviously Hai Dongqing doesn't care about the yellow fairy and fox fairy, he only regards them as prey that can be sold at a high price.
Yin Xiu touched his chin, "According to these villagers, Marshal Dafeng must be over two hundred years old, right?"
"I don't understand this?"
Hai Dongqing glanced at him and said, "Logically speaking, don't you cultivators of immortality pay attention to the beauty of a child with long hair and eternal youth?"
"Don't get me wrong, we are Taoists, not immortals."
Yin Xiu said, remembering his previous experiences with foxes or weasels. In his impression, even if they can appear as very young humans after transformation, their fur will still show their original age.
"Maybe it has nothing to do with Marshal Dafeng." Yin Xiu thought.
At this moment, Liu Banxian took out a booklet from his pocket and flipped through it in his hand.
"Give me the fur."
"Okay."
Liu Banxian took the animal hair from Yin Xiu, sandwiched it in a book, and then asked the clan leader Wei Tianyou: "Are there any black dogs in the village?"
"Black dog?"
Wei Tianyou scratched his head, frowned, and asked after a long while: "Is it okay to have a foreign dog?"
"Okay, it doesn't matter what kind of dog it is, the most important thing is a black dog, the kind that doesn't have a single white hair, I will use it to invite the Roaring Dog to come down to earth!"
"Howling Sky Dog?"
"Liu Banxian, are you saying that you want to ask the Roaring Sky Dog to catch the fox?" Ma Xiaoyu asked.
"That's right, Miss Ma, you are well-informed." Liu Banxian showed one page of the booklet to everyone, "Well, it's not just people who can ask gods to get on their bodies, dogs can also ask dog gods to get on their bodies. Roaring Sky Dogs He is the leader among dogs, the dog king, no, the dog god!
Any dog that can reach the level of a roaring dog can be regarded as reaching the pinnacle of dog life. What more can I ask for? ”
"No," Ma Xiaoyu shook her head, "It's a dog, so why ask for it."
……
The next day, when Wei Dahong found the dog, Liu Banxian, who was originally full of confidence and just waiting to show off his skills in front of everyone, was stunned.
"This is a black dog?"
"The black dog, as you ordered, doesn't have a single hair on it."
Wei Dahong hugged the dog in his hand and vowed, "I will follow your instructions, master, after careful inspection. Don't dare to fool me."
"But this dog is too young, isn't it?"
"It doesn't matter if it's smaller. Many hounds are not big, but they are very helpful."
Yin Xiu walked forward as he spoke, but when he saw the dog in Wei Dahong's arms, he couldn't help but froze, with black lines on his face.
"Is this the foreign dog you call?"
"Yes, the purebred foreign dog was brought from outside by the big yellow dog in our village. Do you think it is suitable?"
"Yes, is it suitable?" Even Yin Xiu had no idea at this time.
Because what Wei Dahong was holding in his arms was not just a so-called puppy, but a Chihuahua, so small that he wouldn't even know it was trampled to death by accident.
"It should work too."
Ma Xiaoyu took the dog from Wei Dahong's arms and rubbed it lovingly.
"Many times when people ask gods to get on their bodies, they only look at their gods and not their appearance. Even people who are as fat as pigs can ask Sun Dasheng to get on their bodies. Although this dog is a bit smaller, it is still a black dog after all.
No matter when we need black dog blood, we can still use it. ”
"Then it's settled, there's nothing else that can replace it now."
Liu Banxian took out a silver needle from his pocket, took out a red thread and threaded it through the silver needle, then lit a candle on the ground, picked up the silver needle and roasted it on the fire.
After his fingers felt the heat coming from above, he pointed the silver needle at the puppy, drew several circles in the air, and muttered something.
"The spirits of the sky and the spirits of the earth, please pay homage to the immortals, Buddhas and bodhisattvas. Disciple Liu Banxian, who lives in Weijiagou, today uses three pillars of fragrance to transform into hundreds of thousands of billions of fragrant clouds and colorful auspicious clouds to pay homage to the Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens. The empress, the Supreme Immortal Master, Beidou Xingjun and other heavenly Taoist masters, immortals and Buddhas are sacred, and they are here to sit on the auspicious clouds.
Respectfully invite the Roaring Sky Dog Grand Marshal! ”
Following Liu Banxian's loud shout, the lazy dog, which had been staying in Ma Xiaoyu's arms, suddenly had its eyes wide open. Then it jumped out of Ma Xiaoyu's arms and fell to the ground, barking.
The voice was not as sharp and weak as those of the original puppies, but had a strong and thick texture.
In particular, this dog's eyes are piercing and calm, revealing a unique majesty.
"Master, this dog seems to be different." Wei Dahong said in surprise.
"What kind of dog is not a dog? This is the marshal!"
Liu Banxian corrected him, then dug out the animal hair he took from Yin Xiu last night from the book, and carefully held it in front of the black dog.
"The disciple is searching for traces of this monster. Please use the marshal's magical power to help the disciple."
The dog twitched its nose a few times, then immediately straightened up, barked a few times, turned around and ran out the door.
"Follow it!"
As soon as Liu Banxian finished speaking, several people in the room followed him.
Wei Dahong was stunned on the spot, looking at each other with the other villagers.
"What are you still doing in a daze? Let's catch up!"
After Wei Tianyou urged, Wei Dahong and others reacted and followed him out carrying a hoe and a pitchfork.
After chasing on the dirt road for a while, they could no longer see the group of people, only Liu Banxian and Ren Qi were left behind.
"Master, are you at the back of the palace, raiding the formation?" Wei Dahong said respectfully.
"What plundering array!?"
Liu Banxian glared at him angrily, "I'm too old to run away!"
"But..."
Wei Dahong glanced at Ren Qi again. The latter looked calm, just holding his hands behind his back as if walking, not even taking a breath.
"But..." he muttered again.
Ren Qi turned around, his eyes like sharp swords, forcing Wei Dahong back.
"I'm just a bodyguard, not a slave. Don't expect me to carry him on his back."
"Look."
Liu Banxian spread his hands and said, "There is nothing we can do. Let's walk over slowly."
"That's all." Wei Dahong also sighed.
While they were chatting, Yin Xiu and the other three had followed the Roaring Dog into the forest.
This is still just the outskirts. Although it is overgrown with grass, villagers who often go into the mountains to cut trees and pick wild vegetables have carved out a few simple roads here.
On this kind of trail, a few people could keep up with the speed of Roaring Sky Dog, but when they got into the dense forest, as Roaring Sky Dog went through bushes one after another, passing between the roots of trees exposed on the ground, Ma Xiaoyu was the first to fail to keep up.
The dense branches and leaves hindered her pace, either catching her clothes or tearing her sleeves.
"So I said, if you change into lighter clothes, maybe you won't get into this trouble."
Yin Xiu carried Ma Xiaoyu on his back and said while chasing.
"Lightweight? If I wear light clothes, will you still have such a chance?" Ma Xiaoyu said angrily.
"That's true," Yin Xiu nodded. "In this case, my complaints have turned into a kind of meaningless moaning that I don't know how to be blessed despite being blessed."
"It is!"
Ma Xiaoyu tightened her legs again, urging Yin Xiu to speed up and catch up.
Hai Dongqing was already running ahead of them. He couldn't see it when he was on the flat ground, but as soon as he got into the forest, Hai Dongqing was like a cheetah returning to the forest, with a strong and agile figure. Swift.
As he sprinted past, not even the birds on the branches nearby were disturbed.
After following the Roaring Sky Dog for a while, the three of them emerged from the dense branches and leaves, and their eyes suddenly became clear.
I saw a dilapidated temple standing in an open space.
In fact, Yin Xiu was not sure whether it was a temple, because layers of branches, weeds and vines had covered it, making it look like a small slope.
The only thing that makes people recognize it as a temple is the dilapidated plaque - Marshal Dafeng Temple.
It doesn't look like a winter scene at all. Instead, it looks more like summer, full of green.
The sun casts round or flat spots through the gaps between the leaves, and even the grass exudes a reassuring scent of grass - even though it should feel weird at the moment.
When Roaring Sky Dog arrived here, he stopped moving forward and just stood in front.
"Sure enough, it has something to do with Marshal Gale."
Ma Xiaoyu jumped off Yin Xiu's back and took a look at the temple, but found nothing unusual.
Just when the three of them were about to enter the temple to investigate, the barking dog suddenly started barking.
With his keen intuition, Hai Dongqing immediately put the arrow on the string and looked around vigilantly.
Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu also immediately held a spell,
I saw countless foxes emerging from the surrounding woods.
Big and small, black and yellow, among these colorful foxes, a touch of white stands out.
Sure enough, it was a little fox. It swung its tail and walked out from the crowd of foxes, staring directly at Yin Xiu with its green eyes.
"Brother Xiu, we meet again." (End of Chapter)
