Chapter 33 1.2.
Gu Zixi drank too much last night, his body can't handle alcohol, he can't remember what happened last night, he vaguely remembers the shadow of a fox under the moonlight.But these are too absurd, and the dream is too real.When he woke up, nothing seemed to happen, but this pair of unique jade objects actually appeared in his hands.
Fox demon?
This is something to be thought about carefully. Although the jade bracelet and the jade ring finger have returned to his hands, someone must have been there last night.Gu Zixi felt an inexplicable chill in his heart when he thought of himself drunk and defenseless.Reminiscent of what happened that day at the Stone Gambling Conference, I feel even more strange.
Is it really a fox demon?
"It's my fault too, Lord Xi, I won't go to the space at night again." Lingshu felt a little guilty, "I don't know what happened."
"Scary." Gu Zixi narrowed his eyes, looked at the little fox and said, "Big Mao."
Bai Xiaoyao paused for a while for the hand that licked the paw, and then started licking again.It looks like a cute young fox. When Bai Xiaoyao was a fox cub, the seven aunts and eight aunts all praised him for being cute.
Gu Zixi picked up Bai Xiaoyao, looked at it carefully, frowned and said, "You are a fox demon, right?"
Bai Xiaoyao: "..."
Gu Zixi lifted the little fox into the air, frowning and watching the little fox's short legs thumping and sternly.Bai Xiaoyao had already performed the magic trick of being cute, looking at Gu Zixi pitifully with big watery eyes, and a pair of beautiful ears drooped down.
It looks really wronged like this.
At this time, Boss Tang's voice came from the door, and Gu Zixi was forced to pause.
"Nephew!!"
Boss Tang was extraordinarily generous to his friends, and took care of his basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation very well. He was a foreigner, but he helped Gu Zixi a lot like a local.This early in the morning, Boss Tang sent his servants to bring Gu Zixi good snacks and tea.
"Here we come!" Gu Zixi picked up the little fox and went to open the door.
As soon as you enter the main hall, you will see two steamers on the table. When you open the steamer, the steaming crab roe buns exude a tempting aroma. When you poke them with chopsticks, rich golden crab roe flows out of the buns.There is also a bowl of hot preserved egg and lean pork porridge on the table.
"Nephew, I will eat the crab roe buns here every year when I come to Yiyang, and this steamed cake is filled with glutinous rice and purple sweet potatoes. It is fragrant and glutinous, and the taste is very good! This porridge with preserved egg and lean meat is specially made by my chef. He is a master at making this porridge, and I have never had better porridge than this!"
"Thank you uncle,"
Gu Zixi came over and greeted Boss Tang with a smile, and sat down to eat with Boss Tang.
"I returned to my hometown last night, did you sleep well?"
"It's not bad to return to lost ground. The Huadiao wine my uncle sent me was so strong that I went to bed early after drinking it." Gu Zixi sighed, "It's really mellow and good wine, my uncle will enjoy it."
"As long as you like it!" Boss Tang saw the little fox in Gu Zixi's arms and said, "Hey, this little fox has come back by itself."
Gu Zixi nodded and smiled, and said, "That's right. I thought I lost it."
"You fox is really smart." Boss Tang touched the fox's ears, and the little fox hid in Gu Zixi's arms in disgust, "You are also pretty. Where did you get it?"
"I picked it up on the mountain." Gu Zixi smiled, "I saw it was small and sick, so I brought it back."
"Which mountain, could it be Fushan on the outskirts of the city?" Boss Tang asked in surprise, "My nephew, do you know that some terrible things happened in Yiyang last night? Last night, several people died on this Fushan, and all their blood was pumped out." It's done, the death looks terrible."
"All the blood has been drained?" Gu Zixi recalled that he was drunk and unconscious last night, and then had a chill for a while, and he became more suspicious: How did so many people die on the mountain in such a good night?Who could kill so many people in one night?
In the end, Gu Zixi became more and more sure of his guess. The theory of the fox demon was not nonsense.
"Well, the government is arresting people now, and I don't know what's going on." Boss Tang said with a sigh, "My nephew should also be careful."
"Oh, I see."
"Nephew, I heard it was done by a monster." Boss Tang's tone changed, and he said to Gu Zixi, "I heard that the Taoist priest who came to the stone gambling meeting yesterday went to catch this monster last night. I don't know what happened."
"Most likely bandits."
Gu Zixi thought with a smile that Nangong Jin went to catch monsters for free.
After breakfast, Gu Zixi and Boss Tang went to the venue of the Stone Gambling Conference.After yesterday's battle, Gu Zixi's reputation has grown all of a sudden.In the past, people said that Yan Hanyu was the nemesis of the Yan family, and the whole family would die if the nemesis died. Now people say that Yan Hanyu was reborn as a phoenix and a late bloomer.Gu Zixi not only helped Boss Tang, but also helped the dignitaries who gave him generous rewards to look at all kinds of jade or identify wool.With the help of the Spiritual Pivot, Gu Zixi can see for sure.
"Is that amazing?" County magistrate Zhang also likes to gamble on stones. He walked up to Gu Zixi in court clothes, and looked at Gu Zixi from bottom to top, from top to bottom, "Then please choose a piece for me, my lord." Good stuff."
Gu Zixi bowed and showed a confident smile.After three times, five times and two divisions, it didn't take long to decide on a thin-skinned gray card.Sure enough, good news came after the stone cutting.
"My lord, the gray card that you just opened for Master Zhang not only has green color, but also has good transparency and sufficient water!"
"It's really a god."
"The Yan family is really undefeated in the gambling world! This ability is really a blessing from God!"
Master Zhang pushed aside the whispering crowd with an excited expression on his face, changed his previous view of the Yan family, walked up to Gu Zixi and said, "Master, you really live up to your reputation!"
Gu Zixi smiled and nodded.Now, his reputation is even louder!
In the evening, it got dark, and the stone gambling meeting officially came to an end.After Boss Tang said goodbye to Gu Zixi, he left Suiyang with a load of good wool.Gu Zixi stretched her waist, hugged the little fox and walked along the mountain road towards Yan's home.
There is only a rugged mountain road from the venue of the Stone Gambling Conference to Yan's house. In autumn, the temperature difference between day and night is huge, and it suddenly becomes cold at night. Gu Zixi wrapped her cloak tightly, looked at the darkening sky, and couldn't help but think of Boss Tang's day and night. He couldn't help looking around at the few murder cases he mentioned.
But he finally had time to interrogate the fox in his arms, and threatened and lured: "Da Mao, don't lie to me."
The little fox whined and looked at Gu Zixi. Gu Zixi put it down and said, "If you don't become a fox demon, I'm going to leave. Go back to the mountains by yourself."
The little fox was so wronged that he was about to cry, Gu Zixi's heart softened, and he wanted to hug it, when Lingshu suddenly spoke.
"Master Xi, did you hear any cry?"
Gu Zixi stopped when he heard the words, and after listening for a while, there was no other sound except the sound of the wind blowing the leaves.
As a spirit body, Lingshu's hearing is naturally much better than that of humans. At this time, it said angrily: "It really does. It's an ugly cry, like some kind of raptor."
Gu Zixi shook his head: "I didn't hear anything. Can you pass the voice to me?"
The little fox in his arms moved its ears, and its two front paws hung on Gu Zixi's body.Gu Zixi continued to walk a few steps towards the dark path. I don't know if it was because the sky was getting darker or something, but he felt more and more cold and eerie behind his back.
"Ho ho - ho ho -" After Lingshu passed the voice to Gu Zixi, Gu Zixi could also hear such a low hum. Gu Zixi looked around and frowned, and tightened his arms holding the fox. He lowered his head and took a few steps forward slowly, then turned his head suddenly——
In an instant, the hissing sound became deafening, and a huge beast rushed towards him from the air.The Spiritual Pivot instantly adjusted Gu Zixi's body strength to the maximum. Gu Zixi retreated a few steps to escape the catastrophe. A paper talisman stood in front of him, and the semicircular barrier blocked the ferocious beast. It was outside Gu Zixi's range.
"Ho ho ho—" the beast let out a low growl, and Gu Zixi took a closer look in a panic, and found that it seemed to be a fox.Immediately afterwards, a white hat appeared, and it was Nangong Jin with a frosty face and a jade face.
"sky……"
Gu Zixi was a little dazed. At this moment, the barrier was broken by the monster. Gu Zixi couldn't resist the huge momentum of the monster with the force of a mortal. Just as he was about to use space to escape, a man in red suddenly appeared in front of him.The man in red touched the monster's forehead with a folding fan, and the halo slowly spread from his fan. He turned his head to look at Gu Zixi, and his pair of careless red phoenix eyes met Gu Zixi's widened peach eyes.Immediately afterwards, his white jade-like fingers gently pushed the folding fan away, and the monster let out a heart-piercing roar instantly.
Gu Zixi stared blankly at the exquisite and unparalleled appearance of the man in red, and the eight tails dancing in the wind behind him.
Could it be that the eight-tailed fox demon was picked up by himself... Da Mao? ! !
Lingshu: "Fucking fox spirit with eight tails, that's a fighter among fox monsters. Run!"
Gu Zixi didn't show any fear on his face at this time, but his feet were rooted in place as if they were filled with lead.The man in red smiled when he saw this, and his exquisitely handsome face was even more handsome.A fiery red robe set off Bai Xiaoyao's snow-white skin, his beautiful eyes seemed to be a smile but not a smile, his facial features were as deep and handsome as a knife, and he was slender. .
The monster screamed and broke free from the shackles of the precious fan, and at this critical moment, the smiling man in red put away his smile, and the eight tails quickly became longer and thicker, and the billowing yellow sand was brought up by the tail. The wind was overwhelming, Gu Zixi covered her nose and mouth with her sleeve, and looked at the still struggling monster tied up by the eight tails from afar.
"Jiaju, Shanju!"
Nangong Jin was suspended in the air on the paper figurine, and the two shikigami lions whizzed and bit the writhing and struggling monster in an instant.The roar of the monster became quieter, and Gu Zixi breathed a sigh of relief and just as he walked forward, he saw the monster opened its mouth wide and swallowed the two lion shikigami!
