Subversion of the plot [Comprehensive]

After the four parted, Tao Shuobai and Ye Qi headed north all the way.

Considering that there are mortals here, the two of them can't always use spells to hurry, so they bought two horses when they passed a busy town.There are no expensive horses in this place, they are just ordinary breeds, but they are young and strong. One horse costs 40 taels of silver, and the total of two horses is 75 taels.This amount of money is naturally not a problem for Tao Shuobai, but just as he was about to pay, Ye Qi stopped him with one hand, pulled a black jade from his waist, and handed it to the horse dealer.

Ye Qi has been here for a year, he has traveled to many places, they are all in a mess, and he was robbed by many people, so he got some money instead.He never valued those belongings, and he didn't need them, but right now he couldn't let Tao Shuobai buy horses for him.Because there is no silver on her body, there is only such a black jade pendant that is pressed on the clothes. It is said that black jade is rare and precious in the world, and it should be valuable.

The horse dealer has sharp eyes, even if he has never seen any black jade, the warm luster unique to good jade cannot be deceived.Just as the horse dealer was about to pick it up, the jade pendant was taken away by someone else.

"You don't need to exchange this, your jade pendant is enough to buy all the horses. Just treat it as a loan to you and return it to me later." Tao Shuobai knew that he was uncomfortable, so he proposed to return the jade pendant to him.

"I'm keeping you here temporarily." Ye Qi stuffed the jade pendant into his hand again.

"...Okay." Tao Shuobai didn't refuse anymore.

When the two left the horse market, Ye Qi didn't ask him where he was going, but just followed Tao Shuobai.

Tao Shuobai felt a strong evil spirit, and the spirit of resentment against ghosts suppressed under this evil spirit. This spirit of hatred for ghosts was not noticed before, and it was obviously just formed, and it was incompatible with the evil spirit. the trend of.This surprised him. He originally thought that the task should be completed after the tree demon and the old Montenegro demon were solved. It turned out not to be the case, no wonder he didn't get the completion prompt.

As soon as they arrived in Jinling, the bronze mirror issued a notification sound, revealing a brand new plot—Xia Nv!

The chivalrous girl named Xu Mu'e has been good at martial arts since she was a child, and she hopes to help justice and slay demons in the future.His father, Xu Dahu, was a police officer in the Yamen government. Back then, he practiced martial arts with Taoist Baimei and was given the Demon Slayer Sword.Flower picking thieves popped up in Jinling city and killed dozens of women in one month. These women were all young and beautiful, and they looked horrifying after death.In fact, the flower picker was a male fox demon. Xu Mue followed her childhood sweetheart Fang Wugui to catch the flower picker without telling her father, and rescued Lin Yuefu, the prefect's daughter, but she herself was injured by the male fox demon.Xu Mu'e went to Baicaotang to see a doctor, and met Gu Xiangru, who was knowledgeable, talented and humorous, and the two became friends.Gu Xiangru went to see a doctor for the prefect's daughter, but fell in love with Lin Yuefu, who was sick and dignified and reserved.

At present, the plot has just progressed to the point where Xu Dahu killed the male fox demon.

Although Xu Dahu has the Demon Slaying Sword, he has no destiny with the sword, and he has never been able to unite with the sword.The reason why he was able to kill the male fox demon that night was because of Gongsun Erniang's reminder, coupled with his eagerness to save the girl, he achieved the unity of human and sword for a short time, but it also hurt his vitality.

Xu Mu'e was worried, so she went to ask Gu Xiangru how to heal her father. Gu Xiangru said that she could take the white ganoderma lucidum from Xiling Mountain and make soup, and she would be alive and well in ten and a half months.Xu Mu'e didn't know how to pick Ganoderma lucidum, so she invited Gu Xiangru to go into the mountain together.

Tao Shuobai went to the city and rented a small house.

"What do you feel?" Tao Shuobai asked Ye Qi.

Ye Qi has felt something since he entered Jinling: "The atmosphere here is very dark, with evil spirits, ghost spirits, and human flesh. If things go on like this for a long time, it will breed demonic energy and drive out monsters."

It is indeed possible.

The resentment that Tao Shuobai felt before was very strong. If he was an old ghost, he should have noticed it long ago. From the perspective of the plot, it should be the remnants of the women who were killed by the male fox demon.These grievances have not yet been truly integrated. Once a suitable host is found, no matter whether it is a human or a demon, it will be robbed.They are a combination of grievances and ignorance, so they only remember hatred, but they can't distinguish enemies. In their eyes, everything is an enemy, and everything is the energy that supplies them to strengthen themselves.

It is also a bit troublesome to eliminate this resentment. If they have no entity, it is just a mass of strong resentment. Although their strength is limited, they can collapse quickly under the attack, run fast, and soon absorb new resentment to achieve themselves.

Within two days, something happened suddenly in the city. All the doctors in the city were invited to the prefect's mansion. The condition of prefect Lin's daughter, Lin Yuefu, had already improved. helpless.

Gu Xiangru already fell in love with Lin Yuefu, and earlier, they had entrusted Xu Mu'e to pass on the letter to Hongyan, and their relationship gradually deepened. When they suddenly got this news, they were anxious and worried.He was young, and the prefect didn't trust him at all, and he didn't even have the chance to diagnose Lin Yuefu's pulse.What's more, the eunuch suddenly discovered that Lin Yuefu's unreceived letter was written by Gu Xiangru, so he was furious and beat Gu Xiangru out.

Everyone was helpless about Lin Yuefu's illness. Although Gu Xiangru couldn't see his beloved, he asked about the illness in detail from Doctor Hong and thought about the prescription by himself.

The prefect Lin Qitong saw Yuefu was unconscious and haggard, and thought of Yuefu's mother in pain, not only gritted his teeth, "Who would have thought that you would have a mother who cursed her own daughter."

It turned out that before Lin Qitong became an official, he had an accident in the mountains and was rescued by Gongsun Erniang.Gongsun Erniang is a spirit fox living deep in the mountains. She originally wanted to cultivate to become a fairy, but she fell in love when she met Lin Qitong.The two were sincere in love back then, they became husband and wife, and soon gave birth to a daughter, who was Lin Yuefu.On that day, Lin Qitong was the champion of high school and embarked on an official career.It's a pity that after Lin Qitong became an official, he soon became infected with greed, accepting bribes and disregarding human life, which became more and more serious. Waiting for evil is the worst blessing.Gongsun Erniang tried to persuade her many times, but Lin Qitong not only refused to listen, but even became very impatient.

One night, the white fox under the ghost mother suddenly came, and during the fight, Lin Qitong discovered that the second mother was a fox demon.

This Lin Qitong was not afraid that she was a monster, but wanted her to use magic to help him rise to the top and become a prince.This made the Erniang very disappointed. Knowing that the relationship between the two of them is over, after some reprimands, in order to persuade the man she once loved deeply, she left a curse: If Lin Qitong continues to do evil in the future, he will take revenge on his daughter Lin Yuefu. The more crimes he committed, the more serious Lin Yuefu's illness became, until she died of a serious illness.Once Lin Yuefu dies, Lin Qitong will also die soon, because the lives of their father and daughter are linked together.

Lin Qitong has always loved Lin Yuefu very much, maybe Gongsun Erniang did curse like this for persuasion, but how can she really not regret cursing her own daughter?

Gongsun Erniang was once captured by the ghost mother. The ghost mother is a black fox demon who has only practiced for thousands of years. She is very ambitious and wants to dominate the demon world.The white fox and the male fox demon are the minions of the ghost mother. The ghost mother arrested the second mother and wanted her to lure the man so that the ghost mother could absorb the essence and practice the mysterious qigong.How could Erniang be willing, she was knocked off the cliff by the ghost mother while escaping, but fortunately the Taoist Baimei saved her.

Taoist Baimei is Xu Dahu's master, Xu Dahu only became a teacher after Gongsun Erniang went down the mountain, and the two did not know each other.

After leaving Lin Qitong and leaving behind a curse, Gongsun Erniang was at a loss, and went to ask Taoist Baimei for advice.Taoist Baimei asked her to hide in Xu's house to protect the Demon Slayer Sword.All monsters in the world are afraid of this sword, and likewise, all monsters want to destroy this sword.Although monsters themselves cannot get close to the Demon Slaying Sword, it is extremely easy to confuse humans to do so.

Right now, Lin Yuefu is dying of serious illness, and the doctor is helpless. Lin Qitong suddenly thinks of her second mother who left cruelly back then.Of course he didn't expect to find Erniang to save Yuefu, but after Erniang left, the white fox came to him.

He took out a blue orb and went out of the city to find the white fox in the black woods.

The white fox said in the past that if there is a need in the future, he will take the beads and go to the black forest outside the city to find her.No matter what the white fox's intentions are, Lin Qitong is desperate now, as long as he can save Yuefu, it doesn't matter whether he is a human or a demon.

Arriving at the Black Forest, Lin Qitong held a blue orb in his hand, and the orb emitted a faint light.

The white fox appeared.

Baihu is a young man dressed in white. He has a handsome appearance, charming eyes, black hair draped over his shoulders, and a white velvet fox tail wrapped around his waist.

If Tao Shuobai saw this scene, he would definitely be shocked.

The white fox in the original play is a woman who secretly fell in love with the dead male fox demon, so she held hatred for the Xu family, and later possessed Lin Yuefu and became obsessed with Gu Xiangru.But here, the white fox was a man from the very beginning, and he still had a crush on the male fox demon, and was deeply concerned about the male fox demon's death, vowing to take revenge.

"It's you, you, you rescued Yuefu." Lin Qitong was a little surprised when he saw Baihu's youthful face for more than ten years, but soon realized that demons are different from humans, and he had more and more trust and confidence in the other party's abilities. crave.

"It's you, Lord Prefect." Baihu smiled slightly, without asking any further questions, and without going around in circles, he said directly: "Don't worry, after tonight, your daughter will be healthy and free from illness."

Lin Qitong was overjoyed when he heard the words, thanked him again and again, and then left.

At this time, Lin Qitong had forgotten, can the demon's words be trusted?Or the fox demon who has only seen the second side.Maybe he was anxious and confused, or maybe he didn't think about it subconsciously.

That night, the watchman began to knock the watch, and every family turned off the lights and blowing wax to go to bed peacefully.

The white fox sneaked into the prefect's mansion and came outside Lin Yuefu's room.Lin Yuefu was ill, and the maid Yanyan stayed by the bed all the time, never leaving at night.The white fox blew a light breath, stunned Yan Yan, and then entered the room, and immediately tried to possess Lin Yuefu.

White foxes love handsome men, so being born as a male fox is inconvenient, but this Lin Yuefu is a rare beauty, if she borrows a female body, there will be countless handsome men who will succeed her.

But at this moment, a ray of golden light shot from the window and hit the white fox, causing the white fox to scream.

"Who is it!" The white fox grabbed the injured arm, but saw that the clothes had turned into flying ashes, and there was a scorched black pit on the flesh, and the injury was still painful.The white fox immediately escaped from the room, standing on the roof and watching the surroundings.

In the blink of an eye, a man in white appeared on the originally empty roof.Different from Baihu, this man has a clear face, clear eyes and righteous spirit, he is the type of man that makes Baihu most excited.

"What a handsome man, why did you strike so hard? You and I must have some deep hatred!" The white fox was full of resentment and fear, joy and fear, looking at Tao Shuobai with sorrow and pity, anger and resentment.

Before Tao Shuobai could make a move, Ye Qi, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't hear Baihu's charming words, so he drew his sword and slashed out.

"Ah!" The white fox was caught off guard and was struck straight, his left arm was broken up to the shoulder, and the white clothes were stained red with blood.The white fox was furious, its eyeballs glowed blue, and its sharp fox teeth were exposed, and it rushed towards Ye Qi with a loud cry.

How could Ye Qi be afraid, he slashed forward with his sword again.

According to the speed of the white fox's cultivation, he couldn't dodge it at all.It was a wave of hatred that hit my heart, and I was desperate, but now I realized the horror of the sword, and I had to run away instinctively.It was too late, the thought of running away just came up, the sword light was in sight, a sharp fox cry resounded through the night sky, the sword energy exploded from the white fox's heart, and the wreckage scattered, except for the arm that had been severed earlier, the other parts unexpectedly is crushed.

Once the white fox died, the left arm changed back to its original shape, which was the left front paw of a fox.

The movement here alarmed the people in the prefect's mansion, and Tao Shuobai and Ye Qi left quickly.

Lin Qitong found out that the strange movement came from his daughter's yard, and he was terrified. When he found the rags of white clothes on the ground, he always felt vaguely familiar. It wasn't until the servants found a fox's leg that he remembered it with a horrified expression.

"It's the white fox, it's him, it's him! But, how could this happen?" Lin Qitong hurried into the room to see his daughter, but found that both the maid and the young lady were asleep. The maid woke up with scolding, but the daughter was No matter how you shout, you don't respond.

Looking at her daughter's complexion, she was still sickly, not getting better at all.The white fox clearly agreed to it simply, as if it was a trivial matter with a wave of his hand, but who knew that it couldn't be done, even the white fox himself was killed by someone!

"Who the hell!" Lin Qitong was furious, he didn't care about Baihu's death, but once Baihu died, what would Yuefu do?

Little did they know how many lives were indirectly saved by the death of the white fox.

In the original play, the white fox possesses Lin Yuefu, bewitching Gu Xiangru while luring Lin Qitong to help him kidnap a strong man to suck blood and practice kung fu.At that time, Lin Yuefu seemed to be alive, but who was really alive?It's a pity that the words and deeds have changed greatly, the makeup has changed greatly, even from dignified and reserved to charming and charming, Gu Xiangru didn't notice it, and went to propose marriage to Lin Qitong full of joy because of the other party's embrace.

Lin Qitong was anxious for days, Gu Xiangru researched a new prescription, disregarding Lin Qitong's cold eyes and ridicule to him, he came to ask to see him again.

"Is your medicine really effective?" Lin Qitong saw Gu Xiangru because he had no other choice, but he still didn't take Gu Xiangru as a petty doctor, especially when he thought that the other party was planning on his daughter. disgust.

"I can't guarantee that it will be absolutely effective. It's just that the lady's illness can't be cured. This prescription is prescribed by me after a long time of research. It should be able to cure the lady's illness." Gu Xiangru said very sincerely.

"Should?" Lin Qitong sneered, but finally let him try.

Gu Xiangru was ecstatic, and finally he was able to diagnose Lin Yuefu's pulse in person. Seeing that the pulse condition did not change much, he took the medicine he had prepared earlier to the kitchen and suffered it himself.After brewing the medicine, she personally fed it to Lin Yuefu spoon by spoon, for three consecutive days.

On this day, Lin Yuefu woke up suddenly.

Yan Yan was overwhelmed with surprise, and hurriedly went to inform Lin Qitong: "Master, Miss is awake!"

Lin Qitong rushed over immediately, and sure enough, she saw Lin Yuefu leaning on the high pillow at the head of the bed. Although her complexion was not good-looking, she was indeed awake, and she even had the energy to listen to Gu Xiangru's story.

This was the case when Gu Xiangru and Lin Yuefu met for the first time. Lin Yuefu suffered from asthma since she was a child, and she was diagnosed by Doctor Hong that time, but she refused to take medicine. medicine.A young man and a woman were interested in each other during this short conversation, going back and forth for several days.

At that time, Lin Qitong was still very grateful to Gu Xiangru, but now that the old feelings reappeared, he turned cold: "Doctor Gu, thank you for treating my daughter, I have prepared the consultation fee, Doctor Gu, please come back!"

"Lord Lin, my servant..." Gu Xiangru wanted to say something else.

"Seeing off the guests!" Lin Qitong didn't want to talk to him, and directly asked the nursing home to send him out forcibly.

Seeing this, Lin Yuefu became anxious, and her voice was weak and feeble: "Father, don't..."

"Yuefu, you just woke up and your body is still weak. Don't talk, be good. Come on, lie down. Don't worry, Doctor Gu has cured you, and Dad won't do anything to him." Lin Qitong didn't want her to worry about this. , Naturally say some perfunctory words to appease.

Lin Yuefu didn't know her father was a human being, but there was no need to argue about this kind of thing at this moment, so she obeyed and didn't say any more.

Gu Xiangru was originally happy for Lin Yuefu's waking up, but he was driven out by the prefect in a blink of an eye, and he couldn't help but lose his mind.

"Doctor Gu, what's the matter with you?" Xu Mu'e was walking on the street with a lot of thoughts when she met Gu Xiangru head-on.

"Mu'e, Yuefu has woken up. The prescription I developed earlier is indeed effective, and Yuefu's condition has improved." Mentioning this matter, Gu Xiangru was still very happy.

"Really? This is a good thing. Congratulations, Doctor Gu." Xu Mu'e was already in love with Gu Xiangru at this time, but she knew that Gu Xiangru liked Lin Yuefu, so she didn't dare to show it. She just kept building bridges for the two of them.

"Why are you here?" Gu Xiangru asked.

"Oh, I feel a little bored, come out for a walk." Xu Mu'e felt uneasy.A few days ago Xu Dahu and Fang Wuzheng went to Beijing together, although they didn't know what was going on, but by looking at Xu's mother's expression, they knew it was something serious.Xu Mu'e always felt that something was going to happen, and wished she could follow.

Sure enough, within two days, Mr. Ouyang from the yamen suddenly visited Xu's house late at night.

Mr. Ouyang said: "Mrs. Xu, Prefect Lin said that he received a secret letter from the imperial court, that Xu Butou and Fang Wushi were accused of embezzling military pay, and they had to be escorted to Beijing immediately. Originally, Prefect Lin wanted this matter to be kept secret, but I just feel grateful to Xu Butou Because of his human character, he took the risk to inform you, we can’t wait any longer.”

Xu's mother was startled and horrified, but she calmed down quickly, thanked Mr. Ouyang, and sent him away.

Xu Mu'e anxiously said: "Mother, that prefect Lin is obviously not at ease, no one else has seen any secret imperial letters, and he is the only one talking about it, so it is probably nonsense. What can Father and Wu Shi do?"

Lin Qitong really wanted to kill someone to silence him.

Previously, Xu Dahu and Fang Wuxu's father jointly reported to the prime minister that Lord Hou and Lin Qitong had embezzled the military pay, but this matter was not brought to the court immediately, as if the prime minister had some concerns.At the same time, the Hou Ye knew about this matter, how could he let it go unnoticed?Knowing that it was Xu Dahu who did it, Lin Qitong made out the secret letter from the imperial court and beat him up, just to get the two of them away from Jinling, as long as they went to the mountains and forests and killed people to silence them, there would be no proof of this matter.

Xu Mu'e felt uneasy and chased after him all the way, but Xu Dahu had been killed, and only Fang Wuzhen survived by chance.

"I'm going to kill Lin Qitong and avenge my father!" Xu Mu'e was impulsive, and wanted to seek revenge in grief.

"Mu'e, calm down, now is not the time for revenge. According to Lin Qitong's behavior, he will definitely kill the grass and root out the roots. The most important thing now is to get your mother out." Fang Wuzheng persuaded her quickly.

Xu Mu'e had to admit that what he said was reasonable.

The two could only temporarily bury Xu Dahu here, and rushed back to the city to pick up Xu's mother. Sure enough, there were soldiers chasing him.The three fled while fighting, and when they reached the river, Fang Wuyu asked their mother and daughter to get on the boat first, and he stopped behind.

Xu Mu'e helped Xu's mother to run to the ferry, there was a boat parked at the ferry, but she didn't help Xu's mother to get on the boat, but was about ten steps away from the boat, staring at the two people beside the water warily.

These two people are Tao Shuobai and Ye Qi.

It was a coincidence that they met today, the two of them killed the white fox, but they couldn't eliminate the resentment of ghosts in one fell swoop, so they simply took advantage of the good weather and went fishing outside the city.This is naturally Tao Shuobai's suggestion, the two of them have already caught several big fish in the fish basket, Tao Shuobai is thinking about how to lure Ye Qi into the kitchen.

"Who are you?" Xu Mu'e asked.

"I'm coming soon, I'm not on the boat yet." Tao Shuobai took the fishing rod, Ye Qi carried the fishing basket, the two of them left the water's edge without talking to Xu Mu'e.

Seeing that the two seemed harmless, Xu Mu'e relaxed slightly, and quickly helped Xu's mother onto the boat.

Tao Shuobai seemed to pass by the few people fighting on the way, but his fingers moved where no one was paying attention.Those chasing people either froze for a moment, or slowed down their sword-raising hands, or were a step late in dodging... Fang Wugui, who was originally at a disadvantage and almost determined to kill each other, suddenly turned around , successfully wounded and stopped several people, and then rushed to the bow under Xu Mu'e's urging call.

Fang Wuyu propped up the boat, and the boat left the shore, and those people could no longer catch up.

Fang Wuzhen breathed a sigh of relief, at this moment he remembered the strange thing just now.He has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has been a fast catcher for many years, so how can he not see the strangeness of those people just now.After thinking about it, only the two men who passed by were the most suspicious, but no matter what their identities and goals were, they all saved his life in the end.

He talked about it with Xu Mu'e.

Xu Mu'e also thought of those two people, it was really weird.

Xu's mother sighed: "Since we have been kind to us, we will keep it in our hearts, and we will definitely repay it when we have the opportunity in the future."

Ye Qi noticed Tao Shuobai's movements, he was puzzled: "Why did you save him?"

Tao Shuo smiled and said: "I don't know, I just met him and found it pleasing to the eye, so I saved it."
