Museum of Demons

That leaf was produced by the demon country Qingqiu, with delicate and beautiful lines. In the human world, this kind of creation from Qingqiu can be used to find creatures that also came from Qingqiu.

When Wei Yuan and Tiannv found each other, the vixen also looked at them in surprise.

Then looked nervously at the green leaves in their hands:

Where's Lao Zhai? Why is the leaf in your hands?

It was the first time Wei Yuan saw this kind of ghost.

This is a rumored rare male vixen, and it looks very old.

Among the monsters, there are not many who can transform into human form when their skills are not high. Aunt Huang's more than one hundred years of skills can only be dreamed and asked for help in dreams. Among the species that can transform into human form, the most famous one is the fox. Demon and raccoon.

This fox spirit turned into an old man of short stature, with silver-white hair, wrinkles on his face, and a light-colored British suit. He looked gentle and elegant, but he was a little anxious at the moment, making his silver hair shake.

Practicing as a spirit monster can greatly prolong the lifespan of a creature, but it is not without limit.

The lifespan of the fox itself is only ten years.

Even if the life expectancy is extended ten times, it is only a hundred years old.

And the nine-tailed fox, who has practiced for thousands of years, is a big monster that will be recorded in the Shan Hai Jing.

………………

Wei Yuan told the old man how he got the book and leaves.

A look of regret appeared on the vixen's face, he sighed, sat on a chair by the park, remained silent for a long time, and said:

Really? Lao Zhai has passed away...

It's hard to find the medicine, but it doesn't seem to make any sense.

The heavenly girl looked at the medicine in the hands of the old vixen and said, This is the life-prolonging panacea, do you want to give it to him?

When you collected the medicine, you should have been injured.

The vixen naturally said, Because we are friends.

The girl's eyes were a little surprised, she thought about it, and said: The leader of Qingqiu is a nine-tailed fox. Although he is considered auspicious, he will eat wicked people. You are her subordinates, and you will also be like wild foxes from the outside world. Same, find someone to be your friend?

I've never eaten anyone.

The old vixen grunted, and then, for some reason, he shook his body uneasy.

Well, it was the one who wanted to eat him.

Just once.

I just thought about it for a while, all kinds of evil talk about deeds regardless of the heart, so it's not evil.

Wei Yuan became interested, put Qingqiu Ye beside him, and said:

You want to eat him, how did you become friends?

Also, will ghosts hide in the world like you?

The fox spirit said: Things become fine after a long time. If there is no spiritual power, there will be no spiritual power. Spirits and monsters do not only see power. It turns out that we have always lived in deep mountains and old forests, but now there are fewer and fewer deep mountains and old forests. The steel bars you built There are more and more forests, and naturally there are demons who are homeless and will sneak in.

As for me and Lao Zhai.

Seeing that Wei Yuan and the girl next to him seemed to be a little interested, he shook his head:

If you want to hear it, I can talk about it.

…………………

Nine-tailed fox, the leader of the Qingqiu clan, is a famous big monster in China!

Before being discredited, it is auspicious in the eyes of mortals.

But the nine-tailed fox cannibalize people.

Whether it was because she was a beast rather than a demon, she was seen and recorded by someone at the beginning, or it was said that a wicked person was punished and swallowed, these are not fabricated lies, but recorded in the mountains and seas. stories in the scriptures.

Hu Ming is the most common Qingqiu fox.

He also wanted to get closer to the nine-tailed fox, so he decided to do something that could prove the fox.

Instead of practicing spells of charm, try to find ways to do ancient hunting and cannibalism.

This is not because standing among a bunch of little female foxes learning charm and transmutation will make him feel embarrassed and shameless, nor is it because he is stupid and can never learn to be charming, it is just to follow the ancient style.

He quickly locked on to a target.

It was a little boy from a very poor family. The adults died in a short war, leaving him alone.

But he has a hobby that poor people of that era should not have, reading.

When hunting for the first time, it did not act rashly because of the presence of adults.

The second time I hunted, I had already touched the back of the little boy, but I vaguely heard him muttering something, suddenly raised my voice, and asked where the evildoer was going, which scared Hu Ming so much that his hairs exploded and his eyes Stare round.

Is this little guy the kind with mana in his mother's womb?

But later I learned that the boy was just reading a book, a story called a storybook.

The fox’s change startled the boy too. One person and one fox stared at each other for a while, the boy laughed, broke off a piece of hard bun, and stretched out his hand to pass half of it, but the fox didn’t even look at it. He flicked his tail and ran away.

boring.

dull.

This is the original idea.

The fox decided to give this kid a backhand. A fox would have to eat such a big man for a long time, but the story was so good, he decided to listen to the story slowly and read the books before starting. It read those books, Qingqiuhu's lifespan is not short, and these books can only be read for a year at most.

But after reading one book, there are more books.

Sometimes the boy would find a way to copy these stories and texts if he wanted to recall them.

During this time, the fox appeared frequently, and he was no stranger to it.

It’s just that in the village, boys are not peaceful, especially in families without parents, and because they don’t fit in well, little boys are often bullied by older boys. Every time this happens, the fox will yawn and feel Boring, and then while those boys ran away, secretly used illusion to tease them.

For example, let them step on the ground and sit in the cesspool.

For example, let them fall on the ground.

At this time, he will feel that he is the hero in the script.

Some other spirits asked it, how could a fox demon from Qingqiu be friends with a human boy? Hu Ming would raise his head slightly and tell them proudly that that guy was not his friend, but just rations, and he would reproduce the ancient tradition of cannibalism by the nine-tailed fox.

Those wild little goblins would look at him with reverence and admiration.

Such days have passed for a long time, and the turning point of the story is that when Hu Ming came down to the village one day, he saw a Taoist priest took out a yellow talisman and handed it to the young man, telling him, You have a demonic aura on you. , I was entangled by a vixen, the evildoer has the spirit of harming and eating people, you stick this yellow talisman on its body, and I can subdue him.

Hu Ming dismissed it, he didn't think that guy would doubt him.

And the young man was silent for a long time before taking the talisman.

So the fox thought about it for several days without looking for him.

But in the end, I went anyway. After listening to the last story, I decided that if the boy took out the talisman, I would eat him. Sure enough, after reading the story, the boy looked at the fox with the lamp on and said, Are you a vixen?

Hu Ming raised his chin and said coldly, Yes.

you are mine……

The word prey has not been finished yet.

The boy smiled, took out a book, and said, That's great.

He said: If you can talk, then we can read books together. I have a lot of things I want to discuss with others.

Hu Ming was a little dazed, and then the young man was full of excitement, chattered for a long time, then suddenly remembered and slapped his forehead, and said: By the way, a Taoist priest came to the village, and he may have found you. You have to ask for help these days. Avoid him.

I tricked him into taking away his talisman, and he can't deal with you.

The boy was triumphant.

The fox stared at him with wide eyes, but couldn't help laughing.

After reading so many books, don't you know that Taoist priests can draw symbols?

……………………

The old vixen stretched out his hand and took a fallen leaf.

He stopped talking, paused, and said: We have been inseparable for more than ten years, studying and arguing together, and then he came to the city, found a wife, got married and had children, and I returned to Qingqiu. We will meet once every three years.

The last time I saw him, I saw that his lifespan was approaching, so instead of going back to Qingqiu, I went to find this medicine, hoping to prolong his lifespan, but it was too late, even though I I know this day will come, but I always don’t want to think about it.”

It turns out that he will finally finish reading this book one day.

The goddess looked at Hu Ming, who looked like an old gentleman, and said: The lifespan of a Qingqiu fox is not more than a hundred years old.

You just lied.

The vixen smiled slyly: Yes, it's not just a hundred years old, it can be two hundred years old, three hundred years old, but so what?

My family doesn't understand that human life is too short for us. He can only live to be more than sixty years old, and I can live to be several sixty years old, but he is still my most important friend. The length of life is not the key to friendship.

We are like the dust of the world, walking between heaven and earth, no one knows who will leave first, what we long for is only the exchange of souls. So even if I have one who is sixty years old, two, or even Ten are sixty years old, but he only has one sixty year old.

But the sixty years of his existence are still the brightest and most important, enough to illuminate the long lifespan of the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

After all, he accompanied me through his life.

The vixen who looked old stood up and bowed gracefully to Wei Yuan and Tiannv.

Looking at the elixir that can prolong life on the seat, he crushed it with a gentleman's stick.

The moment the elixir came into contact with the air, it bloomed, like countless white flowers in full bloom, and then floated into the air, slowly turning into light feathers and disappearing, the beauty of a flash in the pan is still extremely precious in this world of spiritual recovery The treasures disappeared.

I found it for my friend, and it has no value when the friend is gone.

Thank you both for telling me he's gone.

The old vixen put on his hat and said, He is not in this city, and there is no need for me to come again.

I will go to Qingqiu, and the leaves of Qingqiu will be reserved for the two of you. You can rely on them to find the direction of Qingqiu.

If you come, I will entertain you.

………………

Wei Yuan and Tiannv walked back to the museum.

Tiannv suddenly said: The mobile phone is really not a very good thing.

Wei Yuan was a little surprised, and said, Why?

The girl frowned and thought: Hu Ming's friend gave the book and Hu Ming's keepsake to his grandson before he died, but he easily gave up such an opportunity because he could use his mobile phone to read the book. It was he who asked Hu Ming for the life-prolonging elixir, and Hu Ming would not refuse.

And a ghost like a bookworm can only survive in books that have been read seriously.

Now that the text is recorded in the mobile phone, there will be fewer and fewer bookworms and Maiwang...

Wei Yuan thought for a while, and said: That's not necessarily true. There are still many people who like to read, and in this era, the number of people who can read is far more than in ancient times. Besides, the real purpose of mobile phones is to make people want to see but can't. The people you meet connect with each other and get closer.”

The girl shook her head: The distance hasn't gotten closer.

She paused slightly, looked at Wei Yuan with her bright eyes, and emphasized:

In our era, even if we were separated by a long distance, when we wanted to see friends, we would meet them. So having friends come from afar was a great joy. I was really happy, and when I was happy, there would be friends thinking of me. , will come to find myself, and arrive safely, happy to be able to see you again.”

Just like Hu Ming, he goes back and forth between Qingqiu and the world every three years. He spends most of his time on the road. I miss you, and I will go across the mountains and seas to meet you. This is more important than a text message on a mobile phone. valuable.

Looking at the girl's bright eyes, Wei Yuan thought about the question from thousands of years ago, and said with a smile:

There is always shortening the distance, just like writing letters can be easier, and communication can be easier.

It's a little closer, and you won't rush to the distance of people who must see you, such as 996.

The girl frowned, she was very curious about this era, and said:

Wine and stay?

Wei Yuan smiled and said, It's a specialty of this era that isn't good.

Of course, if you want to see someone, you still have to meet them in person.

……………………

Hu Ming took a taxi to the airport in Quanshi, intending to leave Quanshi by plane and go to the mountains and forests.

Then return to Qingqiu.

Check flights with your mobile phone.

A new flight message flashed past, but Hu Ming didn't pay attention.

A plane from the original Indian New World landed at Quanshi Airport.
