Strange Tales [Fierce Beast]
Chapter 19, Ominous Beast
Without Zhou Ling's call, "Qi Tan Zhi" automatically came out of the mustard space and floated in mid-air. The book emitted a light blue light, and as the color of the light deepened, a figure appeared in the void and gradually solidified.
He is extremely slender, wearing a snow-white gown with straight breasts, the clothes drape very well, and a wide belt with a moon-white auspicious cloud pattern around his waist, and only a piece of excellent black jade is hung on it. Rough but quaint and gloomy.The black hair was tied casually with a silver ribbon, without a crown or hairpin.
High nose, thin lips, sword-like eyebrows flying slantingly into the strands of black hair at the corners of the temples, eyes like stars, not much different from Zhou Ling's current appearance.
"A Ling." Lezheng Zixuan raised the corners of his lips.
Zhou Ling was obsessed with Lezheng Zixuan's beauty, and shuddered at the sudden call, "Don't call me that."
"What?" At Lezheng Zixuan's time, names beginning with the word 'A' were usually given by people who were close to him. Although he had been here for a long time, he was familiar with most of the things.Zhou Ling's refusal was also confusing.
Zhou Ling didn't give a reason. Can he say it's because Lezheng Zixuan called too Su, which made him unbearable?Obviously, his former classmates didn't feel the slightest when they called him that.
"... Whatever you want." Zhou Ling broke the jar and said.
"A Ling." Lezheng Zixuan couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.
Zhou Ling discovered this and knew that Lezheng Zixuan was calling his name in this affectionate voice on purpose to amuse himself.All of a sudden, all the excitement and joy were gone.
This is a black belly!
Zhou Ling rolled his eyes, "I'll go buy you some clothes. Your outfit is too conspicuous. As for your hair, you can keep it if you want."
"No need." Lezheng Zixuan refused, and then his top changed into the same white shirt as Zhou Ling's, and his bottom | was wearing a pair of light blue jeans, sneakers on his feet, and his hair tied behind him with a ribbon.
From this point of view, except for his outstanding appearance and temperament, he is no different from ordinary people.
"You still have this skill." Zhou Ling was amazed.
Lezheng Zixuan chuckled, "After all, this is not my body. The current appearance is just something I fabricated out of thin air based on myself."
Lezheng Zixuan said it easily, Zhou Ling's heart sank and he hurried forward to grab his arm.From the point of view of feeling, the warm and elastic skin is no different from that of ordinary people, but it is just lifeless.Zhou Ling can feel the vitality in all living things—whether it is human beings, animals, plants, insects..., this body...no!
"What about your body?" Zhou Ling asked anxiously.
All his abilities were taught by Lezheng Zixuan.At first he thought Lezheng Zixuan was a stern middle-aged man, but later he thought he was cold and arrogant.After getting in touch with him slowly, I realized that although this person sometimes has a bit of a vicious tongue, he is more patient with him.
Zhou Ling, an ordinary person, was able to subdue the beast so boldly from the very beginning. I have to say that the existence of Lezheng Zixuan gave him the confidence—before he even realized it, it had already had an effect on him. rely.
Now, hearing Lezheng Zixuan say that this body does not exist is false, how could he not be in a hurry.
"Not here, although I can feel the general direction of the body, but it is too far away from us, it is useless to think about it now."
Too far away... Zhou Ling chewed these four words, probably not just "too far away".
"Where is it?" He still wanted to know where Lezheng Zixuan's body was, so that he could at least have a goal to work towards.
Lezheng Zixuan stared at the sky outside through the window, and softly uttered the word "immortal world."
Hearing this answer, Zhou Ling felt bitter. Now he doesn't even know where the fairyland is, let alone help Lezheng Zixuan get his body back.Zhou Ling's heart was full of frustration, but he had already been very determined through cultivation, and this negative thought only appeared for a moment, "One day, I will set foot on the fairyland with you."
Lezheng Zixuan stared slightly at his resolute expression, then smiled and said, "Okay."
In any case, it was a good thing that Lezheng Zixuan could appear.So the two came to the mall to buy clothes and toiletries under the sun at noon in the beginning of autumn.
According to Zhou Ling, although Lezheng Zixuan can transform anything by himself, living the life of an ordinary person is also a good experience.
Since Lezheng Zixuan appeared, Zhou Ling felt that his life had become more fulfilling, not that he had any thoughts about Lezheng Zixuan.Ever since he possessed "Strange Tales" by mistake and cultivated himself without realizing it, he always had an inescapable sense of alienation from the people around him, and the appearance of Lezheng Zixuan made him get rid of this feeling. The feeling of being alone.
……
He Yafang is 27 years old this year. Because of her good job and good family conditions, she bought a house early.
At the beginning, she had a good impression of this newly opened community, and she was also very satisfied with the decoration of the house.But after moving in, everything changed.
Every night, she could always hear the sound of laughter, but her friend said that she didn't hear the laughter when she stayed in her house overnight, and asked her if she was hallucinating due to too much work pressure.
At first she thought so too, so she adjusted her pace of life to relax.But the mysterious laughter still appeared every night. She went to the hospital for an examination, and the doctor said she had signs of neurasthenia.
She couldn't sleep well every night, and it was strange that her nerves didn't weaken. In just one week, she was already haggard and disfigured.
"Avon, you won't encounter any 'dirty things', right?" A colleague tentatively suggested, "Otherwise, you can find a 'master' to have a look, maybe it will work."
That's right, why didn't I think of it!
He Yafang suddenly realized, "Thank you, Zhao Yu."
After work, she found a 'master' to exorcise ghosts and pray for her.
The 'Master' did it in Zhao Yafang's living room, and he couldn't hear what he was saying, "Where to escape!" The master shouted angrily, and stuck the wooden sword in his hand with a yellow talisman and stabbed forward.
The yellow talisman spontaneously ignited without fire, and the ashes slowly fell.
"Okay, I've chased away the harmful ghost for you, so you can have a good night's sleep in the future." The 'Master' looked profound.
"Thank you, master, thank you, master." He Yafang looked grateful, and took out [-] yuan from her wallet and handed it to the 'master'. "Master, you have worked hard."
"En." The 'Master' agreed with satisfaction, put away the money, and told him, "Don't open the windows tonight, lest the mana will fail."
"Yes, Master, please go slowly." After sending the 'Master' downstairs, He Yafang walked into the room, and the smell of burning paper hit her face. She closed the door tightly with her backhand, secretly thinking that she could finally sleep well tonight. .
Late night
"Cough cough, cough cough..." He Yafang, who was sleeping, coughed non-stop, choked by the smell of smoke, and then the indistinct laughter sounded again until He Yafang woke up from her sleep.
He Yafang hugged the quilt and curled up in the corner of the bed until dawn...
"How is it, is it useful?" Seeing He Yafang, Zhao Yu hurried forward to ask.
"Ahem, it's useless, ahem." With two big dark circles on her face, the haggard He Yafang couldn't lift her spirits.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" He Yafang collapsed suddenly without warning, Zhao Yu hurriedly caught her, and others stepped forward to help send her to the hospital.
He Yafang opened her eyes again and found herself in the hospital. "Ahem, what's wrong with me?" He Yafang rubbed her head and asked Zhao Yu who was guarding the bed.
"The doctor just checked that you had some throat infection and you didn't have a good rest recently, so you suddenly passed out. Don't worry, the company has already asked for leave. Tell me, what happened yesterday, and how do I feel about you? Even worse."
So He Yafang told her the truth about having invited a 'master' last night.
"Hmph!" Zhao Yu said angrily after hearing He Yafang's words, "That master must be a fake, and you are also stupid. If she won't let you open the window, you won't open it. Don't you feel uncomfortable? Don't tell me you cheated of your money." And let you suffer! According to me, you should call the police and arrest people..."
Seeing Zhao Yu, who was defending herself, He Yafang's mood also improved a bit, she showed her only smile in the past few days, "Okay, am I okay?"
"You, you." Zhao Yu poked He Yafang's forehead helplessly, "You wait, I'll buy you some porridge, and sleep well after drinking the porridge."
Zhao Yu, who came back from buying porridge, saw He Yafang who was frowning and curled up under the quilt, "Afang, what's wrong with you?"
"Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu" He Yafang gripped Zhao Yu's hand tightly and collapsed, "Here it comes again, laughter, laughter..."
"Doctor, doctor!"...
He Yafang, who had been injected with sedatives, reappeared and fell into a deep sleep. Zhao Yu looked at the person on the hospital bed worriedly. Although He Yafang had told her not to inform her parents of her situation, now that there are relatives by her side, it will be even more difficult. All right.
The two are not only colleagues, but also friends since they were young. Therefore, Zhao Yu knows He Yafang's family situation very well, and she also has her parents' phone number in her mobile phone.
Just as she was about to dial the number, there was a knock on the door of the ward.
Zhao Yu first put aside the matter of calling, stood up and opened the door.
"You are..." There were two men she didn't know standing outside the door.
"Hi, my name is Zhou Ling, and this is Lezheng Zixuan." Zhou Ling pointed to himself, and then to the very ordinary-looking person beside him.
"Hi, what's the matter?" Zhao Yu didn't invite them in because he didn't know them.
"We heard about Ms. He Yafang and came to help." Lezheng Zixuan saw the patient information posted on the hospital bed clearly, so he knew He Yafang's name.
Although his current appearance was very ordinary, the aura around him could not be changed. In addition, he knew He Yafang's name, so Zhao Yu did not stop the two of them and invited them into the ward.
"Has she been in the situation for more than a week?" Lezheng Zixuan asked.
"Yes." After hearing this, Zhao Yu was even more convinced of the two of them. These two must be "true" 'masters'. "It's been ten days."
"Fortunately, there's still time." He explained to Zhao Yu's puzzled gaze, "If you haven't received treatment within half a month, you can prepare her funeral."
Then he looked at Zhou Ling again, Zhou Ling nodded, walked to He Yafang's hospital bed, and hung his palm on He Yafang's forehead.
He Yafang, who was sleeping, frowned tightly. Beads of sweat appeared instantly, and a ball of red light suddenly appeared slowly from her forehead. The moment the red light appeared, she was about to run away, but she was caught by Zhou Ling who had been prepared for a long time. In the palm of your hand.
"What is this?" The red light dissipated, and Zhao Yu discovered that what Zhou Ling held in his palm was a black bird about five centimeters in size, with three heads and six tails.
The little bird's black feathers had a purple-blue metallic luster, its wings were much longer than its tail, and its beak, legs, and feet were pure black. If it weren't for the fact that it had three heads and six tails, Zhao Yu would have recognized it as an ordinary bird.
"Hey." Zhou Ling said.
"Hey?" Zhao Yu said that she had never heard of it.
"Qi Tan Zhi" introduces: Yiwang Mountain, there is a bird, its shape is like a crow, with three heads and six tails, and it is good at laughing.
It means: Yiwang Mountain, there is a kind of bird in the mountain, its shape is like a common crow, but it has three heads, six tails and likes to laugh. , It can also ward off evil spirits.
In fact, not only can 鵸鵌 prevent people from having nightmares, but they can also enter the human body to make people have continuous nightmares until they become weak and die.鵸鵌feeds on human essence, energy and spirit.
"En..." Zhou Ling agreed casually, without explaining to her what a scorpion is. "The reason why the scorpion wanted to kill He Yafang was probably because she accidentally offended it—this is a very vindictive bird. "
No one knew that He Yafang was just unlucky. Her newly renovated house was regarded as her own place. When her "territory" was invaded, she would naturally not let it go. That's why this happened.
After solving this matter, Zhou Ling and the two left here.
After the two left, He Yafang on the bed also woke up.
"Avon, you're awake, how are you feeling?"
"I feel better, no headache and no confusion, what happened after I fell asleep?"
"I was just about to tell you that two people came here just now..." Halfway through speaking, Zhao Yu frowned.
"what happened?"
Zhao Yu felt that he had forgotten something, and thought for a while but found nothing.Seeing the puzzled eyes of my friend, I smiled, "It's okay, the doctor said that you are too tired recently, just pay attention to rest. It seems that the medical treatment in the hospital I went to last time was not good, and now I have changed to another hospital. Look at you Isn't it much better?"
……
He is extremely slender, wearing a snow-white gown with straight breasts, the clothes drape very well, and a wide belt with a moon-white auspicious cloud pattern around his waist, and only a piece of excellent black jade is hung on it. Rough but quaint and gloomy.The black hair was tied casually with a silver ribbon, without a crown or hairpin.
High nose, thin lips, sword-like eyebrows flying slantingly into the strands of black hair at the corners of the temples, eyes like stars, not much different from Zhou Ling's current appearance.
"A Ling." Lezheng Zixuan raised the corners of his lips.
Zhou Ling was obsessed with Lezheng Zixuan's beauty, and shuddered at the sudden call, "Don't call me that."
"What?" At Lezheng Zixuan's time, names beginning with the word 'A' were usually given by people who were close to him. Although he had been here for a long time, he was familiar with most of the things.Zhou Ling's refusal was also confusing.

"You, you." Zhao Yu poked He Yafang's forehead helplessly, "You wait, I'll buy you some porridge, and sleep well after drinking the porridge."
Zhao Yu, who came back from buying porridge, saw He Yafang who was frowning and curled up under the quilt, "Afang, what's wrong with you?"
"Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu" He Yafang gripped Zhao Yu's hand tightly and collapsed, "Here it comes again, laughter, laughter..."
"Doctor, doctor!"...
He Yafang, who had been injected with sedatives, reappeared and fell into a deep sleep. Zhao Yu looked at the person on the hospital bed worriedly. Although He Yafang had told her not to inform her parents of her situation, now that there are relatives by her side, it will be even more difficult. All right.
The two are not only colleagues, but also friends since they were young. Therefore, Zhao Yu knows He Yafang's family situation very well, and she also has her parents' phone number in her mobile phone.
Just as she was about to dial the number, there was a knock on the door of the ward.
Zhao Yu first put aside the matter of calling, stood up and opened the door.
"You are..." There were two men she didn't know standing outside the door.
"Hi, my name is Zhou Ling, and this is Lezheng Zixuan." Zhou Ling pointed to himself, and then to the very ordinary-looking person beside him.
"Hi, what's the matter?" Zhao Yu didn't invite them in because he didn't know them.
"We heard about Ms. He Yafang and came to help." Lezheng Zixuan saw the patient information posted on the hospital bed clearly, so he knew He Yafang's name.
Although his current appearance was very ordinary, the aura around him could not be changed. In addition, he knew He Yafang's name, so Zhao Yu did not stop the two of them and invited them into the ward.
"Has she been in the situation for more than a week?" Lezheng Zixuan asked.
"Yes." After hearing this, Zhao Yu was even more convinced of the two of them. These two must be "true" 'masters'. "It's been ten days."
"Fortunately, there's still time." He explained to Zhao Yu's puzzled gaze, "If you haven't received treatment within half a month, you can prepare her funeral."
Then he looked at Zhou Ling again, Zhou Ling nodded, walked to He Yafang's hospital bed, and hung his palm on He Yafang's forehead.
He Yafang, who was sleeping, frowned tightly. Beads of sweat appeared instantly, and a ball of red light suddenly appeared slowly from her forehead. The moment the red light appeared, she was about to run away, but she was caught by Zhou Ling who had been prepared for a long time. In the palm of your hand.
"What is this?" The red light dissipated, and Zhao Yu discovered that what Zhou Ling held in his palm was a black bird about five centimeters in size, with three heads and six tails.
The little bird's black feathers had a purple-blue metallic luster, its wings were much longer than its tail, and its beak, legs, and feet were pure black. If it weren't for the fact that it had three heads and six tails, Zhao Yu would have recognized it as an ordinary bird.
"Hey." Zhou Ling said.
"Hey?" Zhao Yu said that she had never heard of it.
"Qi Tan Zhi" introduces: Yiwang Mountain, there is a bird, its shape is like a crow, with three heads and six tails, and it is good at laughing.
It means: Yiwang Mountain, there is a kind of bird in the mountain, its shape is like a common crow, but it has three heads, six tails and likes to laugh. , It can also ward off evil spirits.
In fact, not only can 鵸鵌 prevent people from having nightmares, but they can also enter the human body to make people have continuous nightmares until they become weak and die.鵸鵌feeds on human essence, energy and spirit.
"En..." Zhou Ling agreed casually, without explaining to her what a scorpion is. "The reason why the scorpion wanted to kill He Yafang was probably because she accidentally offended it—this is a very vindictive bird. "
No one knew that He Yafang was just unlucky. Her newly renovated house was regarded as her own place. When her "territory" was invaded, she would naturally not let it go. That's why this happened.

After the two left, He Yafang on the bed also woke up.
"Avon, you're awake, how are you feeling?"
"I feel better, no headache and no confusion, what happened after I fell asleep?"
"I was just about to tell you that two people came here just now..." Halfway through speaking, Zhao Yu frowned.
"what happened?"
Zhao Yu felt that he had forgotten something, and thought for a while but found nothing.Seeing the puzzled eyes of my friend, I smiled, "It's okay, the doctor said that you are too tired recently, just pay attention to rest. It seems that the medical treatment in the hospital I went to last time was not good, and now I have changed to another hospital. Look at you Isn't it much better?"
