Chapter 137 The Night Demon of the Ancient Courtyard Appears
As the sun sets in the west, the quaint little courtyard is completely plunged into darkness. There are insects singing softly on a plane tree outside the window, and the silver frost illuminates the small courtyard like a lamp.
In the room, Mo Lin was already sleeping soundly with his pillow in his arms. He was happiest when he was well fed and drunk.
Bai Jun did not fall asleep, he stood quietly in front of the window, slowly opened the window partition, and looked into the yard.
The pale whiteness of the moonlight and the darkness of the night merged into such a quiet little courtyard. The ancient well stood quietly in the open courtyard. There were sparse grass shadows under the plane trees. A cauliflower snake came out from the root of the wall and spit out a snake message to start the night.
Hunting.
Bai Jun noticed this little snake and saw how it was trying to catch food and fill its stomach. He vaguely remembered that he had done the same thing hundreds of years ago.
"Hoo~"
There was a gentle night breeze, and faint cloud shadows floated from the sky, covering up the moonlight.
"Woo~woof!"
"Woo~woof!"
"Meow~"
"Gah~gahgah~"
"Gu Gu Gu~"
The cats, dogs, chickens and ducks in the inn screamed in surprise. Some domestic animals are also kept in the inn. After all, it is essentially a hotel for accommodation.
The horses that were sleeping standing up in the stable were also moving uneasily, and the people who were not sleeping in the entire inn were trembling with fear, and at the same time they were also waiting for some movement from the small courtyard.
Bai Jun stood in front of the window and took off his hair crown. Three thousand black hairs were hanging down. The night wind blew his long hair. A strand of hair blew in front of him and fascinated him for a moment. He stretched out his hand to close it.
Behind his ears, he raised his head and looked outside the courtyard, and said softly: "Since you are here, why don't you show up?"
"Hoo~"
The night wind blew, and a demonic wind blew the golden bells in the house. The sycamore leaves rustled down, and a demonic aura flew into the courtyard. It was a black fox, with a big fluffy tail swaying behind it.
The fox suddenly grinned in the night, let out a human laugh, and looked at each other somewhere outside the courtyard.
"Plop~" came a sound, and someone outside the yard fell from the wall in shock.
A puff of smoke suddenly rolled out from the fox's body. In the dim night light, the fox could be vaguely seen standing up. In the white smoke, he twisted his waist and body like a soft woman, and gradually transformed into a human form.
The white smoke dissipated, and a handsome man stood in the courtyard, bowing his hands and bowing: "Hu Twelve Lang, pay your respects to Mr. Fu!"
Bai Jun asked: "Have you brought the things?"
"Yes, Mr. Fu. God has ordered that the little demon must be handed over to you personally. The little demon did not dare to be reckless. He came all the way at a lightning speed and did not dare to stop at all." Hu Twelve Lang smiled with his narrow fox eyes.
.
"Oh? Really?" Bai Jun raised his eyebrows, "But why do I smell the Chuguan smell of rouge?"
"Ah, this, Mr. Fu, is specially used by the little demon to cover up his demonic aura." Hu Twelve Lang chuckled.
"Then you are really interesting and unique. Hide your fox tail next time." Bai Jun warned him noncommittally, "Give it to me."
"yes!"
Hu Twelve Lang took out a picture scroll from his arms, held it in both hands and brought it to the window.
Bai Jun took the scroll, nodded and said: "Yes, the ethereal stone has been integrated into it, it can be regarded as a rare treasure.
Your art of Ruyi, both small and large, has also improved quite a bit."
Hu Twelve Lang said with a smile: "Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Fu. I have been studying hard during your absence and have made a lot of progress."
When Bai Jun heard this, he looked at him carefully. His energy was unusually strong and he sighed: "In the future, try to seduce less people, regardless of gender.
If you meet an expert and reveal your true colors that day, I might as well use your fox fur to make a cloak."
Hu Twelve Lang suppressed the smile on his face and said seriously: "Yes, Twelve Lang knows."
"It should be noted that if you practice one way, if you take advantage of others and advance rashly, you will only harm yourself. In the future, the thunder and punishment from the nine heavens will not condone you." Bai Jun warned: "I made you a member of the Five Immortals Family just because I think you can
Earn some merit for yourself, and you will have an extra chance of survival when you overcome the tribulation."
"Yes, Twelve Lang will never be like this again." He felt a thump in his heart and hurriedly lowered his head to admit his mistake.
"Is everything normal in Huishan Mansion?"
"Jun Fu, as Master Huang is here, everything is as usual." He hesitated for a moment and then said: "It's just that recently, there have been frequent fish monsters in Qianyu Lake in the south following the underground river into our territory of Huishan Mansion, and sneaking into the Huishan Mansion."
It is difficult to detect among the fish. Even the spirit ants flying in the sky and hiding from the earth cannot detect what it is like under the water, and most of our people don't know how to swim.
Only Fang Xiu can't see so many hidden river passages."
Bai Jun frowned slightly, Qianyuhu was thinking of attacking first?
The various forces among the demon clan are not as peaceful as the human race thinks. In addition to feeding each other to survive, the demon clan will also compete for the treasures of the spiritual mountain, heaven, material and earth, and even have grudges in the past.
Unless it is like a demon realm with a demon king sitting in charge, large-scale massacres can be avoided. But the battles between demon clans, just like the wars caused by humans over land, population, and resources, will never disappear.
The area of the Feishan Mountain Demon Mansion is indeed much larger than that of ordinary demon mansions. After all, it was the territory of three demon mansions before. Among them, there are many spiritual lands and elixirs, and the fish demons in Qianyu Lake covet them very much.
normal.
"Just keep an eye on this matter. Let's discuss it again after I return to the mountain in a few months." Bai Jun's heart was calm, and he thought that the other party would not make any big moves in a few months.
Moreover, with the incarnation of Shinto, the guardian of the house, which is comparable to the highest quality of the gods, and the yellow millet, there is no chance of defeat.
The Banquet of the Hundred Gods seems to be just a banquet, but behind it there are countless relationships, even related to the future destiny of several nearby countries.
"Yes. But Mr. Fu, I noticed that there are a lot of toads recently. Do you think it has something to do with Qianyu Lake?" Hu Twelve Lang mentioned casually.
But Bai Jun's heart sank. Is the Millennium Beast Tide coming soon? No wonder Qianyu Lake has other plans.
"It's okay. I think the snakes ate less toads this spring, so there may be more. You can go back first."
"Yes, Mr. Fu, the little demon resigns!"
"Well, go ahead."
"Hoo~"
The demonic wind rose again, the clouds moved in the sky and the moon appeared. Under the full moon at night, the shadow of a black fox flew across the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Bai Jun retracted his gaze, turned around, looked at Mo Lin whose breathing was much softer, smiled and said nothing.
He unfolded the scroll and spread it on the table near the window. This painting was exactly the picture of White Snake looking at the moon, but from now on it can only be called the picture of looking at the moon.
The incarnation of Shinto used divine power to refine the ethereal spiritual stone into the painting, and fused several kinds of spiritual trees to transform this extraordinary painting into an immortal one and become a spiritual treasure.
In addition, the painting demon Bai Su was imprisoned in the painting and turned into a weapon spirit, but her consciousness was still retained, which was a bit of tolerance for the weapon spirit.
It is much better to become a conscious weapon spirit than to disappear completely and disappear between heaven and earth, but it is restricted by freedom.
Due to the addition of heavenly materials and earthly treasures such as the ethereal stone, the moon-watching map has become a space magic weapon, which can trap enemies, attack in groups, and form illusions, and has many wonderful uses.
Bai Jun opened the scroll, and the dim yellow oil lamp illuminated the beauty of this ancient painting. The scroll itself is nearly ten feet wide, but since it has become a magic weapon, it can naturally change the size at will.
In the painting, the bright moon hangs high, and the white snake looks at the moon on the mountain. This must be the time when I first became a demon hundreds of years ago. It was accidentally painted by the painter named Wu Xuanzi. This painting condenses the artist's lifelong skills.
, that’s why we have this magic weapon today.
Bai Jun blew out the oil lamp, didn't close the window, went back to the house, spread out his hair, and lay down to sleep.
"Hoo~"
It was past three o'clock at night, and the government servants who had stayed up all night waiting to see what happened could hardly open their eyes, and many of them had already fallen asleep.
The moonlight enters the house, and the courtyard is as clear as water.
The moonlight shines on the moon-gazing painting under the window, and the moon in the sky echoes with the moon in the painting.
After being awakened, Mo Lin pretended to have slept for a long time but still did not fall asleep. He was wondering in his heart, who is the origin of the young master? Is he a god, a human, or a demon?
He was shocked in his heart, but when he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he didn't even feel scared.
Mo Lin knew that the young master was most likely a demon, so the fox demon outside the window could not be a god. He was afraid of demons. According to legend, demons eat people and rip out their hearts. They are cruel, evil and terrifying.
However, when he thought of the young master, he was only shocked but not afraid.
After pondering for most of the night, Mo Lin finally figured out that no matter whether the young master is a god or a demon, he is still the young master's book boy. The young master has saved his life, so what is there to be afraid of even if it costs his own life?
After thinking about it clearly, Mo Lin felt comfortable and smooth, and he was about to fall asleep as soon as he turned over.
But at this moment, he felt a sudden cold wind blowing, which made him shiver.
Mo Lin looked back at Bai Jin, who was sleeping soundly, and got out of bed quietly, preparing to close the window.
But as soon as he stood up, he looked through the window and saw the scene in the yard outside.
I saw, in the center of the empty courtyard where the moonlight was like daylight, a human hand suddenly stretched out from the edge of the ancient well, clawing at the mouth of the well and struggling to crawl out.
Another extremely pale hand stretched out, and the two hands raised the edge of the well a little bit, and the arms began to lift out. A person's head stuck out of the well and twisted stiffly, and his face could not be seen clearly, because the head was covered with hair.
Her long black hair completely covered her, even though she had no eyes, but when she turned her head towards Mo Lin, it was like a pair of terrifying eyes behind the black hair were staring at him.
Mo Lin felt that his heart was about to stop beating. He was frightened and his whole body was stiff with fear. He even wanted to shout but was too frightened to make a sound.
This is a normal physiological phenomenon of human beings. When a person is extremely frightened, his body cannot move at all, so it is not that they are stupid and do not run, but their physiological instinct prevents them from running or shouting.
After the head stuck out, it was followed by strange white clothes. It trembled like an insect's limbs and climbed out of the well. A humanoid object with black hair covering its face and dressed in white walked toward Mo Lin like a zombie under the moonlight night.
.
At this moment, it was as if Mo Lin was the only one awake in the world. He would rather be frightened and faint at this time, but his consciousness was extremely clear, and his body fell backwards stiffly and fell to the ground.
He put his hands on the ground behind his back and looked up to see those pale hands reaching out to the window. A head full of black hair poked through the window and faced him condescendingly.
Mo Lin was finally able to calm down his throat at this moment. He wanted to open his mouth and shout, but he could only make a hoarse sound of "ho ho~".
The fine hair had already touched his body, and the pair of pale ghost claws had already grabbed Mo Lin. At this critical moment, Mo Lin's consciousness stagnated in extreme fear, as if the world had stopped, and he suddenly recalled the memory of Bai Molin. A simple saying that Zhen taught him.
Every word and sentence in the Haoran Sutra slowly flowed into his heart.
"The heaven and earth are righteous, and they are mixed and endowed with fluid shapes. Below are the rivers and mountains, and above are the sun and stars. To people, it is said to be vast, and it is so abundant that it blocks the sky..."
The words "Haoran" made Mo Lin suddenly muster up his courage, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "Haoran will last forever, and the demons will retreat!"
As soon as these words came out, it was as if a white light suddenly appeared, and the aura of the blue clouds above Mo Lin's head instantly rolled and turned into a document. Every word was true, exuding a bright and righteous energy, which actually made the ghost Ying screamed and disappeared immediately.
Mo Lin was breathing heavily, his heart was beating violently, and he was sweating profusely. He looked at everything quiet and peaceful around him, as if it was just a dream.
However, he lowered his head and opened his clothes, and a dark purple palm print appeared on his chest.
As Mo Lin spent the rest of his life after the disaster, he also recalled Bai Jun's words in his mind, "Reading hundreds of volumes can nourish a great power. Once righteousness emerges, the demons will retreat."
“It turns out that reading books with integrity can really drive away ghosts!”
After he said this, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
When Mo Lin fell down, Bai Yan on the bed also opened his eyes, turned over and got up, looked at the unconscious young man, sighed softly, carried him to the bed, put him down, and covered him with a thin quilt.
Then he picked up the scroll on the table and walked out of the house to the courtyard. He looked at the quiet ancient well and said calmly: "Monster, don't you know how to repent?
If you can come out and plead guilty right now, I can spare your life! If not,..."
"Hoho~"
Before he finished speaking, a pale ghost claw suddenly appeared from the well again, and there was a strange and weird sound.
The temperature in the yard cooled down, and a head full of black hair poked out of the well again.
"Are you coming again? Come back!"
Seeing that the other party was stubborn and unresponsive, Bai Jun swept away with a flick of his sleeves. A ray of Taiyin's dying light instantly knocked back the ghost's head that had just emerged from the mouth of the well.
A shrill scream came from the bottom of the well, which made people's hair stand on end.
Bai Jun waited for a while, and when he saw that there was no movement in the well, he sneered: "Are you pretending to be dead again? You are a smart loach."
"Buzz..."
The water suddenly gushes out from the bottom of the well, reaching a height of three feet at the top of the well. A small old man is lifted up by a wave of water. He salutes Bai Jun with gratitude and says, "The little old man is the god of this well. Thank you, the Great Immortal, for saving me. After forcing the evil spirit away, the little old man was able to get out of trouble."
A cold light flashed in Bai Jun's eyes, and the cold light from his fingertips shot towards the shadow somewhere behind him, and immediately he heard another scream.
When the little old man saw this scene, he immediately swooped down and turned into a huge monster that looked like a snake or a loach and spat out a stream of gray-yellow smoke from its mouth.
Bai Jun's body flashed, and he appeared in the sky as if teleporting. His back was to the bright moon, and his long hair was swaying in the wind behind him. A long Xiao like a giant pillar slammed down from the monster's back, causing the monster to scream in pain.
He was knocked to the ground with a sound.
The entire inn trembled, the monsters on the ground were wailing, dust was flying, the sky was white with the moon behind it, and their long hair was fluttering.
When Bai Jun saw this, he smiled lightly and said, "It turns out I was mistaken. It was an eel."
