Qizhou

The Xiaoshitan exploded with ripples, and gradually returned to calm as a string of bubbles disappeared.

Zhusheng, who had solved his confidant's serious trouble, couldn't breathe with laughter, laughed with the young people, picked up stones and threw them into the pool.There was a wave of fluctuation in the pool, and then slowly calmed down.

"Zhusheng, it's almost a quarter of an hour, should you die?" The skinny young man tied up his hair, but the pearl hairpin didn't go back.Zhu Sheng snatched the pearl hairpin, pressed it firmly on his head, and said with a smile, "Zhu Yuan, you look pretty good at pretending to be a woman! Play more, let us see more!"

"Yes, yes!" He coaxed together, and the young people around laughed together, and a group of people started joking, chasing each other by the pool, having a great time.

Zhu Yuan looked thin, but he ran unambiguously, wearing a skirt and still running fast, a group of people chased after him with a smile, from far and near, but even if they couldn't catch him, he was happy and didn't forget Take the time to come back and laugh a few words: "Hahaha! Chase me, if you catch me, you will have a wife! You..."

Several boys rushed forward, grabbed the tulle sleeves, and laughed loudly: "Grab it! You still run away!"

Zhu Yuan who was caught did not respond, the smile on his face gradually froze, his eyes widened, and the shadow of fear was reflected in his brown pupils.When they saw it, they quickly let go of their hands, fearing that they might hurt him and cause him to fall ill.

"Back, back..." Zhu Yuan swallowed several times, then suddenly raised his hand tremblingly, pointing to the pool where everyone's backs were facing.

"What's behind? Scaring people..." Several people looked puzzled and turned their heads together.

The originally clear and calm small rock pool actually burst out strings of bubbles from the deep bottom, and as the bubbles floated up, the water surface slowly rose in a semicircular arc, as if something huge was slowly supporting it. Open the water surface, break through the water bit by bit.

Zhuyuan screamed in fright, and ran away.The whole group was startled by his sound, and quickly hid behind Zhusheng, one of them shouted: "Brother Zhusheng! That fox... must be that fox! He's not dead..."

These strange phenomena one after another made Zhusheng terrified, but even though his legs were weak, Zhusheng straightened his back and cursed: "Nonsense! It's written in Fuxue's diary! Hydrophobia... ...It's been submerged in the water for a quarter of an hour! How can he..."

"Then if he dies, he will become a ghost! If he becomes a ghost, he will come to us!" The young man was really scared, so he simply let go, turned his head and fled, "Haunted...haunted!"

The lingering sound of that scream hadn't subsided yet, suddenly there was an earth-shattering sound from the thick water surface of Xiaoshitan, the dull movement spread from the water to the beach, Zhusheng felt the ground under his feet trembled endlessly.In the next second, something seemed to explode on the water, and the splashing water droplets were like arrows, hitting people with pain all over their bodies.

The young people in Zhuxi Village were so frightened that they covered their heads and faces, crying and backing away.

In the sharp rain and fog, a white light pierced through the sky.

A roar broke the tranquility of Zhuxi Mountain in the past. The moment the white light disappeared, a drenched figure burst out from the middle of the pool, like a lightning bolt.In just a moment, the shadow stepped on the shore.His white hair was loose like snow, his eyes were wide open, with anger flowing in his dark green eyes, the moment he stepped on the beach, a smile appeared on his pale face, that smile was like a crack, There was a tear in his usually soft face, revealing the hidden sharp fangs.

They seem to have just remembered that this is a demon, a fox who has become a spirit, a monster that can trample them to the ground and grind them into dust at any time.

Hundreds of years of perseverance and care have made Ci Nian forget who he is, and let the people of Zhuxi Village forget who they are.

The scream pierced through the wind, passed through the layers of green bamboos, and echoed throughout the entire mountain.

"Farewell?" When He Qizhou returned to the bamboo house, he only saw the half-woven net.He put down the materials and looked around inside and outside the house, but he didn't see the fox.During this period of time, the two formed a tacit understanding, as long as they went out, if they didn't come back soon, they would definitely leave a note to inform the other party of their whereabouts.

But there is no note...

He Qizhou turned around, opened the door and walked into the yard, but he heard a roar that seemed far away and was blowing into his ears by the wind.The bamboo house is already at the end of the village, and there is a mountain forest when you turn outside. He Qizhou calculated the time carefully, and felt uneasy. He hurriedly raised his sword, and just took two steps outside, when he saw Zhu Yuan wearing a skirt, looking crazy ran into the village.

Before he could catch his breath, he shouted hoarsely: "Run, run...run! The fox...the fox is eating people!"

With his voice, the villagers who were busy with their own work on the side of the road froze in place. He Qizhou was shocked, and rushed out of the yard in three steps at a time, grabbed Zhu Yuan's arm, and said in a low voice: "You What did you say? Where is he? Say it again, and make it clear!"

When Zhuyuan saw He Qizhou, he was so frightened that he lost his soul. He hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, wishing he could kneel down and kowtow: "I didn't do it! It wasn't me! Brother Zhusheng stole your talisman! He said that the fox stole Fuxue's dowry and asked us to help! I just...just..."

"I didn't ask you this!" He Qizhou frowned and shouted, "Where is he!?"

The villagers on the side were too frightened to breathe out, and Zhuyuan was trembling all over, like sifting chaff.Daoist He, who has always been good-tempered and always smiles when he meets everyone, was so angry because of this matter. He trembled for a while, and hurriedly explained with sobs: "In, in Xiaoshitan! I run fast... I ...He chased Brother Zhusheng to the back mountain! Daoist... Daoist, help! Daoist! Save Zhusheng! It's our fault, it's our fault! But...but we are just ordinary people, We really don't know..."

"What don't you know? I think you know very well." He Qizhou looked at him coldly, and without giving him a chance to defend himself, he pulled his sleeves and ran after him up the mountain.

It was evening and the mountains were filled with mist.He Qizhou tightly held the giant clam in his hand, following the fluctuating temperature, he searched for it in the back mountain.No one enters the back mountain all the year round, and the bamboo forest is more lush than the front mountain. While searching, He Qizhou devoted his mind to thinking about what he would do now if he was resigning...

Will you go back to the bamboo house to find yourself?

Even if he wanted to, He Qizhou wouldn't think so.Roaring in the wind, it was the sound only made by evil spirits when they were extremely angry. In this Zhuxi Mountain, the only ones who could create such a momentum, except for the year of resignation, was the Zelao that was blocked in the back mountain.But now that Ci Nian is emotionally unstable and his spiritual power is surging, it is very likely that he will not be able to control the barrier.

If the enchantment collapses, Zelao will come out of the mountain...

Without even the slightest hesitation, He Qizhou ran towards the barrier behind the mountain with big strides.

The crimson clouds engulfed the sunlight, leaving only the last golden edge. He Qizhou ran to the side of the barrier, but before he could stand still, he was knocked over by a white light.

He didn't have time to check it out, so he stretched out his hand and grabbed the white shadow tightly.He Qizhou saw the green light in those furious eyes, is this the original appearance of Ci Nian?Not able to think about it, He Qizhou held the person in his arms tightly, but the person went crazy, exhausted all his strength and wanted to break free, the huge impact caused by this reluctance made them roll over and over again for several laps.

With a pain in his back, He Qizhou knocked something down, and the momentum hit his back instantly, causing him to hiss suddenly in pain.But it's even worse than that.When the person in his arms was stopped, he became even more furious. He raised his head suddenly, raised his hand and gave He Qizhou a hard push. This push made him crash into the bamboo forest behind him, even the sturdy bamboo Was hit and shook several times.

He Qizhou was in pain and had to let go of his hand, but Ci Nian took advantage of this moment to turn his head and rush into the barrier.

The Taoist had no choice but to get up to stop him, hugging the young man from behind, and dragging him back.Ci Nian's clothes were drenched and chilled by the cool wind.

He fell overboard.For some reason, He Qizhou's mind suddenly flashed the image of Ci Nian falling into the bottom of the pool but struggling, and his heart throbbed again.He gritted his teeth and shouted in the boy's ear: "Stop it, farewell, stop!"

Ci Nian seemed to have heard his voice, and his movements froze, but after a moment of froze, he struggled harder.The more He Qizhou pulled him back, the more he wanted to rush into the barrier, as if that was where he was supposed to go, his only paradise, and no one could stop him.

He Qizhou had no choice but to hold him by the waist, and whispered in his ear: "Farewell! You are not a monster! You are going to be a fairy! You can't go in! You can't go inside! The barrier is broken, he It will be released, you understand!"

The person in his arms was unmoved, and even turned around without warning, glaring at the person who hindered him, baring his teeth and about to bite.He Qizhou let go of his hand again, but Ci Nian saw the opportunity, turned around and rushed, stretching his arms, trying to tear off the knot on the edge of the barrier.

When He Qizhou saw this, he immediately rushed up and pressed him hard into his arms, he grabbed his hands when he was hit, and pinched his legs when he was kicked, wishing to entangle their limbs tightly together.The two fought inextricably, but He Qizhou's sword never came out of its sheath.

The familiar Ci Nian in the past became extremely furious, no matter how He Qizhou tried to stop him, he rushed forward desperately.Pull his hand, and he will struggle hard, if he clasps his waist, he wishes he could lose his bones and slip away from his arms.In the end, he became anxious, turned around, and slapped He Qizhou hard, almost knocking him into the pit beside him.

But even so, He Qizhou refused to let Ci Nian take a step closer to the barrier.Regardless of the slowly swollen cheeks, he leapt forward, hugged the struggling young man tightly, and held him in his arms again.This time, he didn't say another word, and didn't talk to him about life or death. Instead, he gently raised his hand, and slowly stroked Ci Nian's ears that were drooping and trembling due to extreme nervousness. The tone calmed down: "Please, farewell, and it's for me... Don't break the barrier, even if the people of Zhuxi Village are worth a thousand cuts, even if they die, you can't go in. If you go in , I will never find you again..."

Miraculously, the frenzied Ci Nian fell silent because of this sentence, but after a while, he bared his fangs again, struggled twice, pulled his hand out, and aimed at the head of the person in front of him. Chop down.He Qizhou hurriedly fought back, tightly clutching his trembling wrist, but touched the faded bead on the wrist.Tridacna is as white as snow, but at this moment it is as cold as snow, colder than the skin soaked by cold wind and pond water last year.

He fell into the water, was trapped by a spell, and maybe suffered other hardships.

And the way he broke free and rushed to the mountains and forests had exhausted all his strength.But even so, he still didn't relax his vigilance towards the person in front of him, as if those scenes of facing each other day and night no longer existed.

At this moment, Ci Nian turned back into the little fox who could only lick his own wounds. After suffering all the humiliation and pain, he desperately sought a shelter, but this time, he did not choose himself.

He Qizhou choked up, he was full of words, he didn't know where to start, the boy in his arms gradually lost his strength, his white hair turned into blue silk, and gradually returned to his previous appearance.But he was trembling, he was in his arms, but he was trembling as if he had gone through the whole winter alone.He Qizhou finally let go of the restraining hand, he held Ci Nian tightly in his arms, wishing he could use all his body heat to warm the embarrassing person in front of him.

He pressed the exhausted fox against the rock, but something hot suddenly dripped across his embraced arms.The thing was small, maybe only the size of a bean, but it seemed to burn through the back of his hand suddenly, leaving a cold track on the skin.

"I didn't lie to you, I won't lie to you." He Qizhou sighed with difficulty, and hugged the person in his arms tighter, "No matter how they scold you or look down on you, I will never lie to you. To you It's true, it's true that I want you to become a fairy, you are extraordinary, you shouldn't be reduced to this, I..." Before he finished speaking, he snorted again in pain.The fox in his arms opened its mouth and bit his shoulder fiercely.

The fangs pierced the clothes, but stopped a second before hurting the flesh, and Ci Nian cried without a sound.He Qizhou gently took his hand, checked the fingertips that were stabbed red by the spell, and gritted his teeth: "I confiscated the good things and let them be stolen. I made you wronged. Bite, you bite me Bar……"

Ci Nian finally let go tremblingly, hugged the broad back of the person in front of him tightly, and squeezed out a low sob from between his teeth.
