Demon King’s Repayment

Hu Qing patted Yuan Xiang'er on the shoulder: "Axiang, what's wrong with you?"

Yuan Xiang'er saw Hu Qing and came out of the trance.

"A Qing, I had a dream of an old man. He told me that he was He Bo in Lianghe Town."

Yuan Xiang'er recounted the situation in the dream roughly.

"You are entrusted with a dream. Strange, Lianghe Town is not far away, why didn't he come in person." Hu Qing sat down beside her, stretched out his hand to twist the Nanhong pendant on Yuan Xianger's neck, "Axiang, you use I should have experienced with my magical tools. Compared with demons, human spirit is very fragile and easy to be affected or controlled by demons. Your Pisces formation can only protect the body, so you must be more careful with mental spells."

Yuan Xianger remembered her experience of being drawn into the illusion by Bai Zhu and Qian Feng, "Yes, in the control of mental power, many demons are indeed powerful and powerful. Qian Feng can even use mental power to build a complete and real world, let me Almost obsessed with it and can't get out of it."

"You don't need to be presumptuous," Hu Qing smiled and put a basin of washed clothes to dry on the clothesline. "You can beat a monster like Wei Feng with the magical ability as a talent. Very powerful."

The clothes hung on the clothes line swayed with the wind, casting a mottled shadow on the stone table.

Yuan Xianger touched the stone table on which she had been lying since she was a child. The touch of the stone was cold and icy, and there was a sense of communication and connection with her. Yuan Xianger used his spiritual power, and the stone patterns on the table began to flow and faintly appeared in it. Small world.

I was able to defeat the wind, thanks to the help of the master.If the master was at home and he heard He Bo begging to come, I would not sit back and watch.

Yuan Xianger stretched out her hand to help Hu Qing put on clothes together, "I'll go to Lianghe Town to take a look. Maybe there is something really embarrassing."

Lianghe Town and Queqiu Town are close to each other, and the distance is not too far. If you take an ox cart, you can go back and forth in a day.Yuan Xianger had already been there the last time for the horns.

When she went out, she met Erhua from a neighbor's house.

Erhua's father made a living by killing pigs, and he opened a pork shop in the market, and his family was considered rich.Hearing that Yuan Xiang'er was going to Lianghe Town, Erhua turned around and brought a pair of pig offal with two slices of three layers of meat, and asked Yuan Xiang'er to take her to the eldest sister who married in Lianghe Town.

"Sister Dahua married a good family, so you want to take this?" Yuan Xianger teased her.

Dahua, Erhua’s family, although their parents desperately gave birth to several younger brothers, they did not treat the two girls harshly.For the sake of her daughter's happiness, she chose a family to study for Dahua, put a dowry on her, and got married high. I heard that her husband is still a talent.

This is a rare good marriage for traders who kill pigs and sell meat. When discussing marriage, I don't know how many neighbors are envied.

"You can bring me to the eldest sister." Erhua stuffed Yuan Xianger with the packed pork. "You haven't married yet, and the elders in your family are spoiled by them. How do you know how hard it is to be a wife."

Yuan Xianger held Nanhe, who had turned into a little wolf, in her arms, boarded the ox cart carrying passengers, and walked slowly towards Lianghe Town.

Looking at the sparkling river along the way, Yuan Xianger couldn't help but talk to the uncle driving the car to inquire about the situation in Lianghe Town.

"We two river towns, Yuanshui and Youshui meet at the door of the house. In the past, there was a flood of water every three to five. I remember that when I was little, the town often gave the river god a bride for safety. The seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl put on her wedding gown and pushed it to the middle of the river on a wooden board."

At the age of 40 or 50, the uncle who drove the car ran a lot on the road, was knowledgeable, and liked to chatter, and could say a few words about everything.The people who talked about this past episode all listened.

"Then the bride can go back to her natal house?" asked a seven or eight-year-old girl in the car ignorantly.

Her mother held her mouth and shook her head slightly, "Don't talk about the gods."

"Hurt, I dedicated it to the god of the river, how can I still be in the world." The uncle drove a sputum on the ground, "At that time, the bride’s family members are all three out of three in the crowd watching the bustling river It is a poor family who has taken the money, but still reluctant to bear it, unavoidably crying and crying. Sometimes the bride refuses and struggles so hard that she has to be tied up. It is really pitiful."

"I haven't heard of it in these years." A passenger in the car asked.

"About thirty years ago, suddenly dozens of people in the town dreamed of an old man with a white beard, a man with a face and tail, and said that they were river gods, so that everyone was not allowed to sacrifice with living people. The residents of the town abolished the old customs and built a river god temple, erected two golden statues of the river god in the temple. Sure enough, the weather has been smooth and rainy over the years, and the floods have been much less."

"I know, I know. I have seen Grandma's River Temple, with a golden gourd on the roof." The little girl in the bullock cart couldn't help but excited.

Yuan Xiang'er continued to inquire, "What major events have happened in Lianghe Town recently? Are there monsters and strongmen?"

"Haha, you are afraid of going out alone with your little girl, what good is holding a dog like this? Don't worry, the public security in Lianghe Town is notoriously good. Uncle will drive you to the most lively Let you go down on the purple stone street."

The uncle who drove the car really drove them to the bustling neighborhood.

At the corner of the street is the iconic River Temple in Lianghe Town.

Probably the weather has been going well for many years, and there are not many worshippers in the temple. Amidst the faint cigarettes, Yuan Xianger stepped into the Heshen Temple.

There are two deities enshrined in the temple, one of whom is kind-looking, with a white beard and fluttering white beard, is the Youshui River God that Yuan Xianger saw in his dream.The other has a human face and body, armor and sharp, majestic and burly, is the legendary Yuanshui water god.

Yuan Xianger burned three sticks of incense and inserted them into the incense burner in front of the shrine. The cigarettes did not condense, but scattered with the wind.The faces of the gods in the shrine were dull and could not feel any spiritual power to communicate.

What was the dilemma, the River God couldn't solve it, he couldn't even speak his words clearly, he could only hurriedly ask for a dream, and he didn't even show a real body.

Yuan Xiang'er walked around the temple for half a circle, and had no gain, so she had to withdraw from the temple.

This street is called Zishi Street. The ground paved with purple river stones has been there for hundreds of years, and it is thickly paved with the imprint of time.A group of children on the street were playing children's games, and their immature laughter echoed in the long alley.On the roadside, there are vendors selling candied haws, sugar paintings, noodles, and other snacks that children love.

Among human children, one or two little fairies in human form may even be seen from time to time, mixing and playing among human children.

Yuan Xiang'er likes such a lively market, holding Nan He while walking and watching. For the sake of unobtrusiveness and convenience, Nan He all the way is transformed into the size of a puppy, allowing Yuan Xiang'er to walk with him.

"Last time I came with the horns, we didn't have time to stroll around, this time we played a lot and bought more delicious foods to take home." Yuan Xianger walked towards the place where the big flower wife was inquired.

A middle-aged man with a big belly came to him, and a concubine next to him helped him to walk with his arm.The man was proud and walked with a smile on his belly.He didn't know that there was a bloody monster lying on his shoulder.At the moment when he passed by, the monster turned his head and stretched his neck to look at Yuan Xianger.

"You can see me? I feel like you just saw me."

Yuan Xiang'er walked forward blankly.

The monster craned its neck and looked at her for a long time, then retracted and followed the man away.

Yuan Xianger stopped and took a breath.She doesn't like these monsters that are bred by resentment in the world, they are difficult, unable to communicate, and they are terrifying in appearance.

"Are there too many monsters in Lianghe Town? It's better for Queqiu, except for two or three harmless little fairies, there are basically no such messy monsters."

Queqiu is peaceful and peaceful, like a paradise.It's because there was a master who was sitting in town, and things that harm the world dare not enter at will.

At this moment, Yuan Xianger's right hand is a lively street, and his left hand is just a dark alley entrance. The alley is dirty and narrow, with high walls on both sides, only a little bit of sunlight can penetrate, which is a dead end with no way out.

Yuan Xiang'er stroked the hair on Nan He's back and suddenly realized that the little wolf in his hand was not right, and the muscles under that hair were obviously tight.Even if he messed up his hair, they were still as tight as a piece of iron.

"What's the matter, Xiao Nan?" Yuan Xianger lifted Nan He up.

The silver-white little wolf hooked his feet, tensed and said nothing.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Xianger shook him.After Nan He grew up, he was strong and agile, very beautiful.But in fact, Yuan Xiang'er still likes him the most fluffy look in her heart, and she often finds excuses to make him look like this, so she can hold her in her arms and rub it.

"I'm not here for the first time." Nan He finally said.

"I know, I was with the horns last time."

"Not last time."

Yuan Xiang'er's smile faded, and Nan He had only been here once before meeting her.

She held Nan He in her arms and gently rubbed his ears.

"I sneaked out of Sirius Mountain, came to this town, and saw a group of human children playing at this location. That was the first time I saw humans."

The innocent Xiao Nanhe became a little human boy.

A human boy spotted him peeping on the sidelines, "Hey, where did it come from? Can you play with shuttlecocks? Do you want to play together?"

The thing called a shuttlecock is a toy made of a pile of bird feathers tied to a copper coin, which can be kicked up and down on the feet.Nan He learned quickly, and he quickly became a leader in shuttlecock kicking. The colorful feather shuttlecocks jumped around his ankles, shoulders, and knees, as if being pulled.A group of children were onlookers and applauded, and they counted in unison.

He was really happy at that moment.He is the youngest wolf among his brothers and sisters, and his brothers and sisters do not even bother to take him in fights.

The excitement in the world and the new friends made him feel extremely happy.

After the game, the children took out a few pocket money and surrounded the vendors selling snacks.The crystal clear candy made Nan He swallowed, but he didn't know where he could get the coins to exchange for these delicacies.

"Here, I'll give you one." The boy who first greeted him was holding a pair of bamboo sticks in his hands. He stirred up a bunch of golden viscous maltose on the sticks, divided them into two balls, and handed one to Nanhe.

"Take it, sweet."

"Ah, is it for me? Thank you."

"Thank you, we are friends now, come here tomorrow to play."

Come here to play tomorrow.Nan He smiled and walked back, holding a ball of amber maltose in his hand, thinking happily.

...

"Is it in this alley?" Yuan Xianger asked him.

Nan He was silent and did not speak. He turned into a tall and handsome man standing at the entrance of the alley.

A long time passed, and I was an adult, but the alley was almost as dirty and gloomy as it was a hundred years ago, and even the cracks in the floor tiles did not seem to have changed.

He could almost see the little one himself being pressed into the circle, breaking his limbs, and the golden candy falling into the mud, and being trampled under his feet at will. He even had no time to taste that friend said Sweetness.

A hand stained with blood in his nails reached out and lifted him up, fiddled with it twice, and smiled.

"Sirius, see what I caught? A young Sirius like this."

"Whether it's skinning and refining medicine, or contracting as an apostle, they are all sent out, earning a lot of money, hahaha."

At that time, how much hatred and resentment he had in his heart, and even wanted to kill all the humans in this world.

A soft hand touched his cheek, Nan He struggled for a while, and when he woke up, he realized that Yuan Xianger was comforting him.

"It's nothing, it happened a hundred years ago. I have forgotten it." He held the cold brick wall and breathed quietly, showing Yuan Xiang'er a little smile.

"That was the first time you saw humans. Those people are really hateful. If I am you, I might hate humans to death."

"Fortunately, I met you the second time."

"Ah, I didn't seem to treat you very well at the time."

Yuan Xianger no longer remembered how she got along with Nan He in the first place. At the beginning, what impressed me most was a pinch of hardy little tail and the sulky buttocks facing her.

"You are very good to me, put me in a basket, once again brought me into the lively human market, give me sweet-scented osmanthus candy, and draw me a magic circle that is comfortable when lying in it."

If I hadn't met you, I might still hate human beings, or perhaps I have been immersed in the killing every day, sinking into a blind and bloodthirsty avenger.

The man took his wrist and kissed his lips.Nan He stepped back half a step, his back was already against the cold wall.

"Axiang...well."

He wanted to talk. Although the entrance of the hutong was dim, there were many people on the street, close at hand, noisy.

Yuan Xiang'er's wrist shook, and the light from the sky-shielding ring lit up a transparent aperture, and contained the figures, bodies, and the gradually overflowing fragrance in a completely transparent little world.

There is a street where people come and go. Although those people can't see, their presence still tightens Nan He's nerves. The more he tightens his mind, the stronger the stimulation he feels.

"Axiang, don't be here..."

He said not to be here, but his scalp was numb by the sweet fragrance that overflowed from his body. He quickly forgot everything and fell into the ultimate happiness.

This deep alley was an indelible painful memory in his life, but since today, happy memories have covered the deep nicks and replaced the eternal pain.

When Yuan Xiang'er and Nan He found Da Hua's house, it was already dusk.

Dahua was surprised and delighted to greet her outside the courtyard.

"Axiang, why are you here? Look at you, you didn't come back when I was married, now I am willing to come to see me." Dahua complained again and was happy, and welcomed her home.

This is a large courtyard with blue bricks and white walls. It has grown up. The white walls are mottled and the vermilion paint is peeling off.The orange-red setting sun poured over half of the yard. There were many people in the yard, all of them stood up and the guests who entered the house nodded.

Yuan Xianger paused at the threshold and almost wanted to go back.Behind the smiling figures, stood a figure with a huge head, a narrow body and a straight robe.

The monster's huge face has thin eyebrows and small eyes, and it also wears a low-grade official hat, and is bowing its heads with everyone.

(Should I eat him?) Nan He's voice sounded in her mind.

(No, no, he is not malicious, usually the spirit body that the ancestors stay at home to guard the offspring. I was just taken aback by him, this head is too big.)
