Demon King’s Repayment

Yunniang carried a large bucket of washed clothes and walked into the yard.

"Madam, let me come." Nan He saw it and stretched out his hand to take it.

Nan He is tall and long with long legs and agile movements. He quickly pulled the ropes for drying clothes among the trees in the yard, and neatly hung up wet clothes in the sun.

Yunniang stopped her hand and stood aside looking at him with a smile.

Axiang’s gentleman, although he rarely speaks in daily life and is a monster, he is actually very considerate and careful.

After getting along for a long time, it can be seen that he is earnestly trying to adapt to the human way of life, and sincerely wants to live with Xianger for a lifetime.

Yun Niang thought very comfortably.

And it's very easy to be shy, but looking at him like this for a while, the figure with his back to him is a bit unnatural.

Yuan Xiang'er and Hu Qing ran out of the kitchen and walked towards the stone table with a pot of fried meatballs just out of the pot.

"Madam, I will go inside for a while." Yuan Xianger greeted Niang Yun.

"Madam, the lunch in the kitchen is ready." Hu Qing also followed.

The two talked and disappeared when they stepped onto the table.

Wu Yuan led Saburo and Jin Yu to unfold the layers of clothing, and rushed over in a swarm, bluffing.

"Croquettes, croquettes, I can smell the croquettes."

"Hurry up and go to the table."

"Coco, coco."

When the three little guys saw Yun Niang, they stopped in a hurry, and greeted them properly.

"Madam."

"Madam."

"Cuckoo."

I don't know why, everyone is accustomed to calling Master Yun Niang along with Yuan Xianger.In the yard one after another called Master Huan, Yun Niang smiled and agreed.

Now Jin Yu could gradually see clearly in Yun Niang's eyes.

Niang Yun especially spoiled the three little ones, "Go ahead, be careful that the croquettes are eaten."

The little guys cheered, jumped onto the stone tabletop, and quickly disappeared.

Yunniang took the empty wooden barrel from Nanhe and walked into the house. She raised her hand to cover her eyebrows on the eaves, and looked at the dim clouds on the horizon.

"It's finally cleared up for a day, but don't rain anymore, this year's rain is too much."

In the small world of Stone Table, Wu Yuan crouched in a row and watched Dan Luo practice walking while eating hot balls.

Danluo supported the wall of the wooden house by the lake, walking a little bit reluctantly.After walking a few steps, she turned pale and had to stop to catch her breath.

"Don't force it, let's take a break?" Saburo said worriedly.

"That's right, you are obviously a fish. It's okay if you can't walk. Although we keep calling you up to play, we don't rush in for a while." Wu Yuan was a little embarrassed. These days he always likes to lie on the side of the boat and hold it. The caterpillar teased Dan Luo, who had been sinking in the water, and wanted this black fish with half of its tail to come up and play with him.

"Come and sit for a while?" Yuan Xiang'er held out his head from the waterside.

There was already a big pot of hot meatballs in the water hall with drinks, friends were all sitting together for a drink, and Nan He had already come in from outside.

Dan Luo walked a little slowly. He held on to the railing, using his newborn legs, slowly, with some difficulty, approaching the lively circle.

Several arms reached out to him and borrowed him.

"Come on, have a drink?" Yuan Xianger poured wine and toasted as a gift.

This time, Dan Luo was silent for a moment and took the glass of wine from her hand.

...

There was a faint sound of thunder in the sky, Yuan Xianger in the room raised her head from the piles of ancient books and looked out the window.

"It's going to rain again? Where's the clothes that my sister just dried in the morning. The recent rain has been too much."

She murmured, and continued to bury her head in the mountain-like books looking for records about Nanming.

Ever since I saw Master's place in the small star chart, and was informed by Senior Subai that Master Yu Yao was trapped in Nanming, Yuan Xianger began to immerse himself in finding a way to go to Nanming.

But no matter which book you read from the records, all pointed out that Nanming was at the end of the earth.The crimson cliffs there are bottomless, the sea waters are mysterious and unpredictable, and countless powerful sea monsters walk through it. It is a terrifying zone without human footprints.

Of course, the most difficult thing to do is that its location is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains. Even with the speed of crossing the Shuo and Nanhe Rivers, it will take decades to travel.

Yuan Xianger lay down on the messy table in frustration, almost scratching her head bald.

"Is there no way?"

"Cuckoo...cuckoo." Jin Yu appeared out of the window with his sleeves in his sleeves, stretching his neck to call her.

"Ah, Jin Yu, did you say someone is looking for me?" Yuan Xianger put down the book and walked out holding Jin Yu's hand.

The big flower appeared outside the courtyard with a gift.

"Dahua? Are you coming back to your natal house?" Yuan Xianger happily let her friend into the living room.

Da Hua wore a new tuft of small sleeves and a double-breasted jacket, wearing a refreshing high bun, with the golden hairpin that Yuan Xianger put on her makeup when she was married.

People are getting tanned, but their mental head is much better than when Yuan Xiang'er saw it half a year ago. There is a bright look between her brows, her behavior is neat and generous, and she has the hearty appearance before she got married.

She put a stack of food boxes in her hand on Yuan Xianger's table.

"What does it smell like?" Yuan Xianger asked.

"They are all braised pork with sauce, pork knuckles, cold and crispy sausage, and barbecued pork in honey. I made them by myself. I remember you liked it a lot."

"It's great, I'm greedy recently, I'm just thinking about it." Yuan Xianger thanked him, and took it over, "You have to get these things free recently?"

"Axiang, I didn't wear this hairpin when you came to see me last time. In fact, the life at home was difficult at that time and I was pawned." Dahua touched the golden hairpin on her hair temple and brought it Dian said embarrassedly, "Although you never asked at that time, I was very nervous at that time, so I was asked by you."

She held Yuan Xiang'er's hand: "I am the daughter of a butcher, and I don’t know anything else. Since I was a child, I have only learned to cook the remaining ingredients at the meat stall at home. After you left last year, I thought and thought about it, and gritted my teeth. I opened a brine stall. Fortunately, the business was blessed by the gods. Today, I am finally relieved and can redeem the hairpins you gave me. I brought it here for you today."

"Really? Your mother-in-law did not object?" Yuan Xianger was happy for Dahua.But she also knew that although Dahua's mother-in-law coveted their dowry, she still despised her father as a butcher.The scholars of this era look down on the merchants who do business for a living.She couldn't think that Dahua's domineering mother-in-law could agree with her to set up a stall.

"My mother-in-law is naturally unwilling." Dahua spread her hands, "but the family obviously can't open the pot. My husband still has to study and go to school. I can't rely on me to sell my dowry and my sister-in-law to embroider and weave for money day and night. My mother-in-law opposed it, but I made up my mind. As long as my husband supports me, she will throw the pot and the pot and scold the world, and I will just ignore it."

"Yes, yes. This is my big flower." Yuan Xianger patted her shoulder.

"Furthermore, in Qiuwei last year, his husband fell off the list." Dahua approached Yuan Xiang'er, and didn't mind talking about her loss to her girlfriends. "After falling off the list, the expressions of those extremely enthusiastic relatives turned cold. , It has become unsatisfactory for us. The mother-in-law herself feels boring, and she can't stand up."

"Your husband is still young. What are you afraid of? Don't put pressure on him and take the test slowly." Yuan Xianger comforted. She remembered Zhang Xun, the young husband who saw Dahua last time. Grabbing countless gloomy monsters, large and small, obviously overwhelmed by the pressure from all sides.

She took out the talisman paper and calmly drew a talisman.The fingertips moved flexibly, folded it into a triangle symbol and handed it to the big flower.

"This is a talisman to get rid of evil and calm your mind. Let your husband wear it on your body."

Dahua was overjoyed and got up and blessed.

"Recently there has been too much rain, the spring floods are fierce, and the water level has risen. Even the river temple in our Lianghe Township was flooded by floods. Although my home is located in a high place, my parents are still not at ease, so I sent them specially. Brother went and took me and my husband's family."

"Has the River God Temple been flooded?" Yuan Xianger felt a little sorrowful in her heart. She didn't expect that without Danluo's wanton action, Lianghe Town still launched a flood.

"Yes, the old people all say that Yuanshui has not risen sharply for decades. It should have been such a time, even the Lord River God can't help it." Dahua sighed, and was a little happy. "But I am very happy to be able to live back to my natal family for a period of time. You don't know, my father is not like the snobbish relative of the Zhang family. He only knows that Lang Jun is a scholar and a stubborn baby. It's not just for the husband alone to fix it. A quiet and quiet study room. He was still screaming with a virtuous son-in-law all day long, so that he could concentrate on reading without thinking about anything."

She thought of her father's attitude towards her husband, and couldn't help but laugh, "She also made my brother's mud monkey whose ass can't sit on the bench, so he should get close to him and learn a few big characters. My brother was so scared that my brother complained all day long. Even the husband himself said that living in my house is a lot easier for the whole person."

"That's great, as it should be." Yuan Xianger was really happy for her friend.

There was a rush of rain outside the window, Dahua stood up and said goodbye, unavoidably worrying: "I don't know what the town will be like if it rains anymore?"

When Yuan Xianger drove her to the door, her husband Zhang Xun was coming out of the yard diagonally opposite the door and came to pick her up with an umbrella.

"With such a distance, why bother to pick me up specially?" Dahua complained, but there was a sweet smile on her face.

The couple said goodbye to Yuan Xianger hand in hand.

Yuan Xiang'er looked at the twin figures in the rain curtain.

On that young Langjun's back, the large and small monsters that once clung to his shoulders when the human spirit was weak have disappeared.Perhaps failing to do so might not be a bad thing for him, but instead let him completely let go of the excessive burden in his heart.

The once overwhelmed young Langjun straightened his back with the bamboo umbrella.Protecting his wife walking in the rain.

This heavy rain continued for a whole number of days, and floods inevitably started in cities and towns along the river.

Queqiu was located at the foot of Tianlang Mountain, and the terrain was relatively high. In addition, Yuan Xianger led the apostles to fully protect before the flood came, and crossed the peak without any danger.

However, Lianghe Town, Chenzhou Yuanshui and Dingzhou on the bank of Dongting Lake have all encountered extraordinary floods that have not been encountered in many years.

Yuan Xiang'er stood on the peak of the mountains near Lianghe Town, watching the turbid river rushing eastward.

In Lianghe Town not far away, the familiar river temple has been completely submerged by the flood, and only the golden gourd on the top of the temple still reveals a trace of the existence of the temple in the monstrous Hongbo.

The people in the town abandoned their homes and tried to flee first.Countless humans have been displaced by natural disasters. The once bustling town is now muddy and howling.

The South River stands in the air, attracting the power of the stars to change the landform, to channel the flood as much as possible, and to buy time for the people in the town to escape.

Standing on the top of the mountain across Shuo, the force of space strengthens the river embankment and blocks the flood.

Hu Qing and others also used magic skills, trying their best to help the residents of the town escape without being noticeable.

Even so, casualties are inevitable.

Yuan Xianger stood on the top of the mountain and watched the dead child's life in the torrent drifting past her eyes together with broken furniture and debris.

And at the foot of the mountain behind her, countless other draggers of the same kind walked hard on the muddy mountain road in heavy rain.

Human beings once felt that they were very powerful, but only when they faced the power of nature did they find that their power always seemed so weak and weak.As long as you are willing, any kind of power in this world can shatter those sunny days at any time.

There is still the situation where she took the apostle to support her, and Yuan Xiang'er could not even imagine the disaster situation in other places.

She can only try not to watch an overly tragic scene, base herself in the wind and rain, calmly drive her spiritual power, and do her part for those who are struggling in the disaster.

"Unexpectedly, fellow Daoist is here." A familiar voice sounded nearby.

Yuan Xiang'er opened his eyes and saw that Qingyuan was leading the disciples of Qingyi.

The warlocks with bamboo hats and hydration suits were all soaked, and their shoes and socks were covered with mud. Obviously, they were like Yuan Xiang'er and had been exhausted for a long time.

Yuan Xiang'er inspected the head as a courtesy, "Senior has worked hard."

"Practitioners live in the world with spiritual energy as their own body. Those who are able to work harder and those who are strong bear heavy weight. They live in the mountains and forests in their free time and contribute to the common people in trouble. This is my teaching." Although Qingyuan is muddy, he sits in his On the apostle’s back, he still looked like a breeze. "It’s admirable that the little fellow is young and alone, but he can protect the people of a town."

"The predecessor is absurdly praised, how can his modest strength be compared with the predecessor."

Although the two are both spiritual practitioners, they have been walking between the rivers and lakes, and when there is no conflict, they are also very good at lifting each other's sedan chair.

Words were being spoken here, and a monster with a human fishtail appeared in the river.

Dan Luo, who was wet all over, returned to Yuan Xiang'er.

"I have widened the water channel and cleared the mud." He grabbed his drenched hair behind his head, and didn't even look at Qingyuan in front of him. He only talked to Yuan Xianger. "This time the flood is raging. , And it can only do this at the moment."

Yuan Xianger thanked him very seriously, "Thank you for your hard work, Dan Luo."

Qingyuan stared at the demon who he hadn't gotten for a long time, and at the conspicuous contract mark on his forehead, completely losing his calm and indifferent appearance.

"You, you, you have another apostle? No, I said, how did you accept him as an apostle?"
