At the junction of Qingqiu and the outside world, it is a relatively barren land. There are very few people who stay here on weekdays, so there are not many people doing business. There is only one inn within a radius of fifty miles.

But because of the bad weather this time, it started to rain heavily during the day, and it didn’t stop at night, and the water on the ground had almost reached the calf, so it was rare that many passers-by were blocked. In this inn.

A group of fox people who returned from Nanze Mountain also came here.

With Mingqi's personality, she naturally refused to rush on the road in the rain. After entering the inn, Changning put a gold ingot on the counter and said, "Boss, we have taken care of all the rooms here, you go Arrange it."

The group of them came from the pouring rain, but their bodies were not wet at all, and all of them had outstanding looks, and they were not ordinary people at first glance.

The boss lives near Qingqiu, and he has some experience. He didn't dare to offend them. He carefully apologized and said with a smile: "Guest officer, I'm sorry, the weather is bad today, there are too many guests, and now there are only two vacant rooms left. In the lobby There are still some positions, otherwise, everyone can make do with it?"

Changning hesitated for a while, Mingqi had already said: "Whatever, don't go to the lobby, two empty rooms are enough, go clean it up, remember to ask for hot water, new bedding, burn some nice-smelling incense in the room, take a bath Add petals to the water. By the way...and some more cushions, I bought it."

The boss quickly agreed, ordered the staff to prepare, and then watched helplessly as more than 20 people entered a room, standing almost without a place to stay.

The little guy was holding the bath water, squeezed in reluctantly, put it at the door, and then closed the door and came out. While going downstairs, he couldn't help but looked back twice, muttering in his heart.

——How can you sleep here?Is it hanging to sleep?

As soon as they left, Ming Qi immediately slapped her hands and said, "Okay, all the girls will become foxes."

Except for her, all the girls present immediately turned into foxes of different colors, and the room suddenly became much more spacious.

Ming Qi said: "You men, spread the cushions on the floor for us, set up the bathtub, and go to another room to rest, leave a human figure to talk, and the rest will become foxes, so we can have a good sleep Got it. There’s no need to go to the lobby and squeeze with those people.”

Chang Ning said with a smile: "Auntie, when did you become so disciplined, we vixens sleep differently than men and women."

Ming Qi said: "What do you know? Rabbits don't eat grass by the side of their nests, and lovers are not found in their own clan. Otherwise, if they get tired of playing and separate, it will not affect the unity? Go over there!"

Changning was also joking and left with the others.

After everyone took a hot bath comfortably, Ming Qi lay on the bed, waved lazily, and directed the other foxes: "Come on, you guys, sit down and line up... don't do this, the fur is too mixed, It looks like a mess, sorted by color, from light to dark."

After a bunch of little foxes were seated, she nodded in satisfaction and said, "I've been away all these years, and you've all been spoiled by that careless bastard in Changning. My patriarch will teach you how to apply ointment now." The correct method is to wipe in order, along the hair, little by little, be patient... Hey, go and call the man over, and learn."

So a few rows of fluffy foxes followed her to learn how to apply ointment at night, and the room was full of fragrant smells. The candlelight shone on the foxes, and the luster was very dazzling.

Ming Qi taught for a while, and found that one of the little foxes was biting its head, its two front paws were holding the jade bottle containing the ointment, it had just been rubbed on a little, and it was about to fall asleep.

She dug out a large lump of balm, flicked it with her fingers, and it all smacked on the little fox's forehead with a "pop": "Wake up!"

The little fox was so frightened that he immediately opened his eyes and turned his head to look around blankly.

The first thing she saw was a group of shiny companions, and she couldn't help but blurted out: "Wow, you guys seem to have just cooked that kind of golden roasted chicken."

Changning covered his mouth with one paw, lowered his head vigorously, and laughed loudly.

Ming Qi shook her head and said, "I just know how to eat. Why don't you feel sleepy when you eat? It's really hard to teach a child. Look at you, you're almost fat like a ball!"

The fox lay down, turned over and showed Ming Qi its belly: "Unfortunately, patriarch, my stomach is flat, I'm really hungry."

Chang Ning said: "Anyone who lies down like that will be deflated."

The little fox bared its teeth at him angrily.

Ming Qi said: "Okay, let's go, oh. You foxes, after all, you don't have my blood in you, and you don't understand my pursuit at all."

The foxes smeared themselves with fragrance and were tortured. When they heard Ming Qi's favor, they all cheered and immediately dispersed.

Ming Qi looked at them and shook her head, and whispered: "It will be great when my son comes back. He must know me best, so I will teach him all my unique skills."

The little fox who dozed off and wanted to eat chicken was called Tao Yueyue. She also sneaked out the door when the male foxes were returning to the room. When she turned around, she had turned into a round-faced and pretty girl. Run towards the back kitchen of the inn.

Looking at those people just now, she really wants to eat roast chicken. The restaurant no longer provides food, but there may be ingredients in the back kitchen, so she can cook it by herself.

The rain outside was still falling, the lobby in front was brightly lit, and passers-by who had no room to live gathered there, some were napping, some were chatting softly, waiting for the rain to stop.

Tao Yueyue avoided them, and slipped straight to the back kitchen. After searching for a while, she found that there were still a few cooked roast chickens marinating with sauce.

Her eyes lit up, she put a small ingot of silver beside the stove, gently tore off a big chicken leg, and took a hard bite.

Really delicious!

While enjoying it intoxicatedly, Tao Yueyue suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the side. She thought it was a mouse, stomped her foot, bit the chicken leg and looked over there.

Nothing at all.

Tao Yueyue was relieved, and was about to continue to bury her head in hard work, but at this moment, a chill suddenly rose from the back of her heart.

It's a very subtle sixth sense.

Tao Yueyue stood up abruptly and turned her head to look!

I saw a pale and pale face emerging from the wall just behind her.

There was only this one face, flat and flat, like a clumsy picture scroll pasted on the wall.

Staring at her, smiling slightly.

At that moment, Tao Yueyue was terrified, wishing to peel off the layer of skin on her back that was leaning against it.

She screamed and threw the drumstick in her hand towards that face.

At the same time as throwing out the chicken legs, Tao Yueyue also leaped backwards, slapped her palms together, and watched the enemy vigilantly.

Seeing that the chicken leg was about to hit the thing, it didn't dodge, but opened its mouth and swallowed the chicken leg in one gulp, chewing the bones and meat, as if it was enjoying it.

A flat, painting-like human face, firmly stuck to the wall, only the mouth is moving, this picture is weird and somewhat disgusting, it seems that even the chicken legs have become unsavory.

How cheap, I only took one bite——Tao Yueyue thought to herself.

She couldn't help but also licked her lips, the fear in her heart was slightly relieved, and she slapped the other party.

But the moment she issued the palm wind, the face in front of her suddenly disappeared.

Tao Yueyue was startled for a moment, and then felt the wind behind her, she quickly dodged sideways to the right, only to hear the wall crack with a bang, and an afterimage rushed out towards Tao Yueyue with the sound of the wind.

This time she couldn't hide from anything, Tao Yueyue closed her eyes subconsciously, and used her last instinct to silently recite a formula to transform back into the original fox.

But at this moment, the window next to it was also pushed open with a "bang".

A person jumped in from the window, with his toes on the window sill, turned over in the air, and when he landed, his left hand had already picked up Tao Yueyue, and at the same time he drew his sword with his right hand, and raised it sideways. With a soft "swipe", Tao Yueyue was already Something is chipped off.

Tao Yueyue was held by the man at the back of her neck, her limbs and tail were dangling in mid-air, and she was stunned for a moment before she was terrified.

She turned her head and looked up at her savior, and then saw a cold and charming face, with a kind of pale beauty.

At that moment, it was like seeing flowers under the sea, and the moonlight in Shatin.

Tao Yueyue thought to herself, "Oh my god, he's so handsome."

The man who was carrying him pushed back a few steps, Jian Feng pointed at the hole in the wall vigilantly, and at the same time turned around and asked, "Do you see what it is?"

Following his voice, another person jumped in from the window, threw something in his hand on the ground, and said, "There is only this piece of skin, and the rest turns into rainwater and flows away."

The person who followed in was also an extremely handsome man with a free and easy temperament, refined and gentle, it was Jing Feitong.

And the person who saved Tao Yueyue was naturally Shu Lingjia.

The two of them followed the trail of the strange beast all the way, passed by this inn, and happened to hear Tao Yueyue's screams from outside the window, so Shu Lingjia came in to save people, while Jing Feitong blocked them from the outside.

Tao Yueyue looked at this, and then at that, feeling very satisfied, even the fear after encountering the monster just now faded a lot.

The patriarch also asked her to apply ointment, blaming her for being able to eat it. If he hadn't run out early to steal chicken legs from the back kitchen, would he have seen such a handsome man?

Still two!

Tao Yueyue didn't say until she felt the back of her neck go numb, "Well...thanks to the hero for saving me, if it's all right, can you put me down first?"

It was only then that Shu Lingjia remembered that he was carrying a fox in his hand, which seemed to be a female fox. He quickly put Tao Yueyue on a relatively clean window sill, and stretched out another finger to touch her on the back of her neck. The hair that was messed up by himself was smoothed out, and he said, "I forgot for a moment, sorry."

While talking, several other fox people and shop assistants who heard Tao Yueyue's screams also came down from upstairs and ran into the back kitchen. Everyone was shocked when they saw the mess in front of them.

"Yueyue, are you okay!"

Changning ran down when he heard Tao Yueyue calling. When he came in, he saw her standing at the door, so he dragged her to his side.

Tao Yueyue hurriedly said: "Elder, I'm fine, I was rescued. Thank you soon."

She was not at home when Shu Lingjia came to Qingqiu before, but she didn't know that Shu Lingjia had known Changning long ago and had even pretended to be their young master.

Shu Lingjia coughed, and Changning saw him, and said in surprise, "Lingjia? Didn't you go to the secret cave to accept the inheritance? Why so fast?"

While talking, he greeted Jing Feitong again.

Shu Lingjia said: "Received the news that some sects leaving from Nanze Mountain were attacked halfway. We found traces of monsters on the road and searched all the way. I didn't expect to meet you. The Fox Clan Are you all resting here?"

Chang Ning said: "Yes, the patriarch is on top."

Shu Lingjia and Jing Feitong looked at each other.

From the beginning, they were dubious when they heard the news that the various sects were attacked by the demons. Now that they found that even the foxes were not immune to being harassed by monsters, they felt that this was wrong.

At the beginning, it was Yue Tao himself who said that his father, the Demon Emperor, claimed to owe favors to the Fox Clan and asked him to take care of the Fox Clan. If so, how could the Demon Clan take the initiative to attack the Fox Clan?

Either someone is pretending, or there is civil strife in the demon clan, and the demon emperor has lost his prestige.

If the former is better, if the latter... the demon clan is huge, if there is internal chaos, the entire cultivation world will be in turmoil, which is not a good thing.

It's just that the Demon Emperor Jiaxuan doesn't look like a simple person, will he allow this to happen?

Both of them suppressed their doubts for the time being, and Jing Feitong said: "The danger is not over yet. Elder Changning, are there still many ordinary people in this inn? I don't think this monster may be the only one." .”

As soon as Chang Ning came in, he saw a piece of wet transparent leather on the ground, and there was also a lot of water with a fishy smell. He already knew that this matter must not be simple, but he hadn't had time to ask.

At this time, he heard the words and said: "Yueyue, what happened when you screamed just now? Tell us."

Tao Yueyue then told about the face, and everyone who heard it was chilled.

Chang Ning frowned and said, "I told you to come to the back kitchen in the middle of the night to steal the chicken, so that the monster wouldn't treat you like a chicken."

Tao Yueyue said: "I thought it only had that one face, so I relaxed my vigilance at that time."

Chang Ning then asked: "Master Jing, have you seen what the monster's body looks like?"

Jing Feitong nodded, and asked Shu Lingjia first, "Did you give it a sword inside?"

Shu Lingjia said: "Yes, I didn't see what it was when I cut it, but a shadow swayed past, and the blade seemed to be stuck in something like a gut."

Jing Feitong said: "When I was outside, what I saw was a huge beast emerging from the water. It looked like a turtle, but it was about the size of a cow. Its neck could be retracted. Its attack method should be That's what Miss Tao saw."

"I stabbed it with a sword, and then I saw a lot of water coming out of the wound, and the monster collapsed completely and melted into the rainwater. I hurried to fish it, and picked up the skin with the sword. .”

If it wasn't for Jing Feitong's quick hands to make this thing completely melt into the water, it would be impossible to get it anywhere.

Changning said: "That is to say, the whole body of this thing is actually a piece of skin wrapped with a stream of water? It's really weird, I've never heard of it before."

Shu Lingjia glanced at Jing Feitong, raised his eyebrows suspiciously, Jing Feitong shook his head, and said, "It's also the first time I've seen you."

"This thing is called the Water Bone Demon. It is an ancient monster of the Demon Race. It was originally born in the Shenshui Abyss of the Demon Race. You are young, and you probably haven't heard of it."

At this time, a voice came from the door.

Changning turned around and said, "Auntie."

It turned out that it was Ming Qi who heard the commotion here, and followed her downstairs, and she was the one who said the words just now.

She looked a little serious this time, and she no longer had the usual smile on her face. She nodded and thanked Shu Lingjia and Jing Feitong: "I just thank you two for your timely action and saved this silly girl Yueyue. The Water Bone Demon is so powerful, she won't be able to save her life this time."

Jing Feitong said: "It's our duty to watch and help each other, so you don't have to be polite. It's just that this water bone monster...is it really a monster unique to the demon clan?"

A complex look flashed across Ming Qi's face, and she said: "Yes. And it grows in the abyss of the demons. If someone hadn't released it on purpose, it would never have appeared here. As long as there is water, this kind of thing can last forever. Regeneration, extremely powerful attack, difficult to deal with."

Shu Lingjia grasped the point: "In other words, there may be other water bone monsters coming to attack at any time."

Ming Qi said: "It's really unlucky, it should be like this."

Chang Ning said: "But how could the demons treat us... Well, is this thing coming for us? Or is there someone else in this inn who is their target?"

Ming Qi said: "Except for us, everyone else is ordinary people, so there is no need to go to such lengths to attack. I have ordered Xiaoxue and the others to go to the lobby to remind people to pay attention, but it is useless to just pay attention. Everything was captured and destroyed."

She waved her hand: "Let's all gather in the lobby first, don't disperse."

It's raining heavily and it's pitch black outside, and this thing can melt into the water at any time, so it's not easy to catch it?

When everyone came to the lobby, they found that although the other guests had been reminded, they hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter.

Several young people sat around the table and said with great interest: "... I heard that the girl met a ghost because she was eating chicken legs. It is very likely that she is the ghost of the dead chicken. Just like that, she came across the ghost through the wall." It popped up..."

Tao Yueyue: "..."

Her scandal will not be passed on to future generations.

Someone else asked with a smile: "Boss, is this a trick you made up, saying that there are water ghosts outside, so that people dare not check out and leave? Don't worry, no one wants to leave before the rain stops." .”

The owner of the inn just went to the back kitchen to look at it. He knew it was dangerous, but his face was still pale, and he sent a boy to plug the hole in the wall.

Hearing that those people were still teasing, he could only smile wryly, and said: "Guest officer, I'm full of guests, so why do I ask for help? Isn't it just looking for trouble when I'm full?"

At this moment, someone suddenly screamed, staring straight at the wall in front of him, and said, "Face! Face!"

Sitting across from him was the young man who had just said "roasted chicken is haunted by evil spirits". He was very excited when he was talking, and he asked "what face?" while turning his head.

At this time, a big hole was instantly opened in the wall, and a phantom mixed with gusts of wind and rain came towards him.

The young man still had a smile on his face, and he didn't even have time to react. He stared at this scene with wide eyes.
