Fox spirit's self-cultivation

A young woman hurriedly passed by on the street. When she passed the overpass, the woman glanced out of the corner of her eye, and suddenly saw something flashing in the sun in the distance.

The woman has a meal.

A head wearing sunglasses poked out from under the overpass, and the reflection was obviously the decoration on the frame of the picture. The young man wearing sunglasses saw the woman stopping, and hurriedly held up the bright red banner behind him.

There is a big line in the letter: ten yuan for fortune telling, no money is not allowed.

There is also a dense row of small characters below, but it is not very clear.

The young woman was in a daze for a moment, walked over in a strange way, stood in front of the man and said, "Young man, do you know fortune-telling?"

Zheng Xuanli, who had finally waited for another business, took out a bench and put it down, rubbed his hands together and said, "That's right, I can tell fortunes, birth, old age, sickness and death, marriage disasters, bloody disasters, it's pretty accurate. Ma'am, sit down, what do you want to do?" ?”

"I guess..." The woman was at a loss when she heard the words. As soon as she sat on the bench, the stool fell apart with a creak, and the woman almost fell down.

Because of this accident, the woman finally woke up from her confusion. She looked at the broken chair, and looked suspiciously at the person wearing sunglasses.

Faintly felt that the person wearing sunglasses had a kind face, but after searching in his mind, no one could match him.

Zheng Xuanli picked up the wreckage of the chair and threw it aside, clapped his hands and laughed dryly: "I'm sorry, this chair is old and not used, you continue to talk."

The young woman regained her senses, thought for a while and said casually: "I don't know either, why don't you tell me what I need?"

Zheng Xuanli glanced at the woman and raised his eyebrows.

"The Palace of Wealth is bright on the left side of the center of your forehead, but it is surrounded by black air. It seems that you have got a windfall. This money troubles you day and night. You worry that this money will bring you disaster sooner or later, so you want to start from solve the problem at its root.”

The woman raised her head abruptly, and the originally dark eyes revealed light: "Yes, that's right, then what do you think I should do? Is it really my problem that things have developed like that?"

Zheng Xuanli took out a small crumpled note from his pocket, and handed it to the woman: "No. But, there are many things involved in this issue, so why don't you go make this call and ask No. 1 to take action, he will solve the problem for you."

"No. 1? What No. 1?" The woman was stunned. This name made her feel a little confused.

"You are here to tell your fortune. No. 1 naturally refers to the demon hunter with the highest price, and you can afford the asking price." Zheng Xuanli said with a smile.

Those who came to tell fortunes knew more or less the truth about the raging monsters in this city, and naturally they also knew more or less what the profession of a demon hunter was.

Sure enough, after hearing Zheng Xuanli's words, the woman said thoughtfully, "Demon hunter, so this is all true."

At this moment, there was a loud noise from the other side of the road, and someone shouted faintly: "It's him, he changed his position again! Catch that liar wearing sunglasses!"

Zheng Xuanli moved his ears, and he quickly rolled up the self-made banner, and said anxiously to the young woman: "The fortune-telling is over, I will not charge you until the problem is solved, and when you solve it, come and give me the fortune-telling money, ten yuan, remember, a full ten yuan [-] piece, the price of the cheapest tomato rice bowl!"

After finishing speaking, he ran in another direction, his agility comparable to that of an Olympic gold medalist.

A few big and three rough men quickly chased after him.

The young woman looked at the group of people who disappeared in the blink of an eye, looked down at the note in her hand, and was about to raise her hand to tear it up and throw it away, but when she thought of what Zheng Xuanli said, she hesitated.

"A windfall... a demon hunter..."

The woman murmured, and after a while she gritted her teeth and dialed the number: "Hi, is the Witcher Association? I'm looking for NO.1..."

After a while, the woman hung up the phone in a daze.

"Exactly one hundred thousand...how could it be such a coincidence?"

She took one last look at the direction where Zheng Xuanli disappeared, and hurriedly left the spot.

--------

In the long-abandoned villa, there was a long-lost sound of footsteps.

The door opened with a creak, and it was a young woman who opened the door. The woman turned sideways with a flashlight on, revealing two young men in casual clothes following behind.

This woman is the one who passed by the bridge during the day to tell her fortune.

The woman glanced at the room with some horror, took a step back to let the young man behind her go first, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, masters, since Madam passed away and Mr. Xu fell ill again, no one has lived in this house. , Water and electricity have been cut off for a year, and the wires have been bitten by rats a lot. Wait a few days to find a repairman before the power can be turned on... It's a pity that Wei Lin disappeared. These days, there is no electrician who is willing to repair the circuit. .”

Kong Lingxiao stepped into the villa first, and after a glance, he frowned, looked up at the end of the corridor solemnly.

Kong Qing, who followed closely behind, looked around for a while, finally sighed, and resigned to his fate, took a compass to explore for a while, and said quietly: "There is a devilish energy everywhere, most of which are concentrated in the kitchen..."

Ms. Chen shivered when she heard the words, and subconsciously looked at Kong Lingxiao: "The kitchen? Two masters, why is the magic energy concentrated in the kitchen, but there is something wrong with the house's feng shui?"

Kong Lingxiao remained silent, and Kong Qing behind him smiled and said, "It's not all about geomantic omen. Since Miss Chen can find us in the Demon Hunter Association, you should know that monsters cause more harm than geomantic omen. Ms. Chen, put a lock on it." Do you have the key to your house?"

He pointed to the dark place at the end of the corridor.

Ms. Chen was surprised and said: "Yes. Mr. Xu's collection room is so far away, you can see the locks even if you are in the dark. Master, you have such a good eye, I will take you to have a look."

Kong Lingxiao, who had been silent all this time, turned to look at Ms. Chen.

Kong Lingxiao had been hiding in the dark since he entered the door, and Ms. Chen didn't see his appearance clearly. When the other party's face was illuminated by the light from the flashlight, Ms. Chen was taken aback.

The master witcher who paid a lot of money in front of him was really too young. He seemed to have just grown up, with a particularly outstanding appearance, with long and narrow phoenix eyes, cold white skin, white shirt and black trousers, tall and straight.Soft black hair covered his forehead, not at all like a master who can catch ghosts, but like a high school student who is good at reading.

However, this person is the No. 1 with the highest price among the demon hunters.

"Miss Chen, just give us the key. It's dangerous for you to follow behind."

The young man in front of him said expressionlessly.

"Well, okay, okay..." Miss Chen blushed, and quickly took out the key and handed it to him.

Kong Lingxiao put away the keys and walked to the end of the corridor, followed by Kong Qing. He glanced back at the direction of the kitchen and said in confusion, "This is really strange. All the powerful demonic energy is concentrated in the kitchen, and the evil spirit is hidden in the storage room. Demonic energy Separated from the evil, you won't really encounter any troublesome monsters this time, right?"

No. 1 Mr. said nothing, took out the key and opened the door, and threw a talisman.

The talismans burned in the wind, and the room was illuminated. Before they could see everything in the room clearly, the expressions of Kong Lingxiao and Kong Qing changed.

"Crack-knock-"

There was a harsh chewing sound.

The soaring devilish energy mixed with the evil spirit lingered in the room, in the middle of the evil spirit and the devilish energy, a figure in red was chewing with his head down, his long hair piled in a mess at his feet.When the talisman was lit up for a breath, the man turned his head slowly, revealing the corner of his mouth stained with blood.

Kong Qing glanced at the living creature's shadow with teeth and claws stretched out at the opponent's feet, and his heart shuddered—a mixture of devilish and evil spirits, humanoid and solid, obviously, this is a powerful monster!

Kong Lingxiao's expression was also extremely cold.

The pouring black hair covered the face of the monster. Under the messy hair, the lips stained with blood were exposed. The snow-white neck trembled slightly because of the rapid swallowing. The strands of black hair sank into the bright red clothes, half The delicate collarbone that was concealed revealed a lustrous luster, and the scene in front of her revealed a strange beauty.

Sensing the gaze of the demon hunter, the eating monster turned to look at the two of them.

The corner of the blood-stained mouth was raised, and the monster held up the bright red thing in his hand, with unspeakable joy and strangeness in his voice: "It's delicious... you guys, do you want to eat it?"

It was hoarse and rough, and it could be heard that it was an adult man's voice.

Hearing his words, Kong Qing was undoubtedly relieved. He knew that the monster's IQ was not high after listening to the stumbling words. It seemed that the monster was not as strong as he thought.

A drop of blood dripped from between the monster's fingers, and before it fell to the ground, the monster quickly caught the blood, stuffed the blood-stained finger into its mouth and licked it clean, the scarlet lips made those hands white as jade , making the scene in front of me even more weird.

Kong Lingxiao was not confused by everything in front of him at all, his eyes were sharp, and with a wave of his hand, dozens of talismans flew towards the monster in the middle of the room. At the same time, he said to Kong Qing in a deep voice: "He is very strong, be careful."

The tyrannical spiritual power swept across, and the whole room was shocked. The demon locked by the talisman opened his eyes in shock. He hurriedly stuffed the food in his mouth and covered his mouth with dozens of talismans. Under the siege of the enemy, he jumped up and down and fled in embarrassment.

Swallowing the last bit of food, the monster raised his hand to meet the shadowy talisman, and muttered displeasedly: "Why hit me! I've already invited you to eat!"

"boom--"

Meeting the demonic energy, dozens of talisman seals all burned up, turning into dozens of small fireballs.

The ashes fell to the ground, and the long-haired monster was unscathed, but Kong Lingxiao who played the talisman and Kong Qing behind him turned pale.

The monsters in front of them are very strong, some stronger than their cognition.No monster has ever been able to retreat completely under the action of dozens of demon-repelling talismans, but the monster in front of him not only damaged the talisman, but also appeared to be able to handle it with ease.

When did this monster come out?

The two looked at the monster warily, only to see that the monster that had easily destroyed dozens of talisman seals suddenly covered its chest, and said straightly, "Not good!"

Kong Qing stared at the opponent's chest, wondering if the talisman worked?

But the monster hurriedly said: "Hey! It's already twelve o'clock, it's time to go to bed, I'm leaving!"

After speaking, the figure of the long-haired monster turned into a black mist and floated towards a white cloth at the back of the room.

In the blink of an eye, the demonic and evil energy in the room, which was so thick that it almost turned into substance, dissipated without a trace, as if everything just now was an illusion.

Kong Lingxiao stepped forward and lifted the white cloth where the monster disappeared.

The talisman was lit up, illuminating the portrait hanging on the wall behind the white cloth, and I saw a person in the portrait with downcast eyes and a smile, with a serene expression.Moyun's long hair hangs over his shoulders, a red dress makes his complexion fair and transparent, his eyebrows are delicate but hard to hide his heroism, he is an unparalleled handsome young man.

However, the slightly raised corners of the young man's mouth were stained with scarlet, which gave him a kind of evil spirit for no reason.

Kong Qing fearfully said: "The demonic energy has disappeared, only evil energy remains. It's so strange, it seems that this painting is really tricky, why don't you invite Master and the others to take a look?"

The monster just now seemed to be transformed by the person in the painting. Thinking of the strength of the monster, Kong Qing hesitated for a moment, thinking that taking down the painting so recklessly would scare the monster in the animation, so why don't they go back to the division and think of other ways.

However, Kong Lingxiao stepped forward directly, stretched out his index finger to wipe the blood on the corner of the mouth of the person in the painting, put his finger on the tip of his nose and sniffed, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he stretched out his tongue to lick the blood on his fingertip.

Kong Qing was shocked: "Ling Xiao, what are you doing? It's the blood of the victim who was murdered by a monster! It's dirty!"

Kong Lingxiao shook his head expressionlessly: "It's not blood, it's ketchup."

Kong Qing was stunned: "Gah? Tomato, sauce?"

Kong Lingxiao nodded: "The evil spirit is not in the painting. The monster in the painting is sealed and will not pose a threat for the time being. Take him down and take him back for inspection."

After we separated for a while, Miss Chen waited for two demon hunters to arrive.

Ms. Chen glanced at the painting frame Kong Qing was holding, and said cautiously: "Masters, is this painting a monster?"

Kong Qing wiped his face, and his expression was indescribable: "I don't know. But this painting is very strange. It's too late today. We will visit Mr. Xu tomorrow. We need Mr. Xu to tell us the origin of this painting."

Ms. Chen's face turned pale when she heard the words, and she forced herself to say: "Isn't it necessary?"

"Why?" Kong Qing's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he stared at Ms. Chen, "I was very curious before, why is such a big house only guarded by a young lady, Ms. Chen, so that she is not afraid of encountering any terrible monsters? Could it be? Say, are you related to the monster and Miss Chen?"

Ms. Chen hurriedly waved her hand: "No, the monster has nothing to do with me! I just bought a painting at Zheng's house. Mr. Xu liked this painting very much, so I sold this painting to Mr. Xu. I really didn't mean it. Yes! I'm just... just..."

Ms. Chen blushed, a little embarrassed to speak.

Kong Qing's expression became more and more serious: "Just? Do you know how powerful a monster is sealed in this painting? You clearly want to use the painting to harm people, right?"

"I didn't intend to harm anyone. Really, I just doubled down on the painting I bought cheaply and sold it to Mr. Xu. I didn't know there was something wrong with this painting!"

Ms. Chen was terrified, her eyes were red, and her expression showed a bit of anger, "There must be something wrong with the Zheng family! They want to harm people! Otherwise, such a delicate portrait is still a portrait of Mr. Zheng. It may only cost ten yuan! Mr. Xu said that with the lifelike painting skills of this painting, it can be auctioned at least one million yuan in an art exhibition!"

"So you sold the ten yuan painting you bought to Mr. Xu for one million yuan?"

Kong Qing said with burning eyes.

Ms. Chen cried: "I sold it for [-]. I was wrong, and I knew it was wrong. I vaguely guessed that there was something wrong with this painting. Yes. I thought it was weird when they forced it on me, but Mr. Xu liked it, so I sold the painting to Mr. Xu.”

"It's only [-], and you just bought a monster that can transform into a human being. You're so lucky." Kong Qing said, [-]. Isn't this money just a commission from Ms. Chen?

Ms. Chen cried even more sadly: "My wife had an accident on the day I bought the painting and hung it up. After that, Mr. Xu also became ill. The people in the painting are always smiling, and the smile will be a little bit subtle every few days. The change was terrifying. I felt ashamed and terrified, so I took the initiative to clean the collection room and found a white cloth to cover up the paintings. Unexpectedly, something happened..."

A few days ago, Wei Lin, the favorite student of the great painter Xu Xiangrong, disappeared. Wei Lin was an orphan before studying with Xu Xiangrong. It was Xu Xiangrong who taught his disciples every day who found him missing.

After Xu Xiangrong called the police, the police adjusted the monitoring and found that Wei Lin returned home not long after leaving Xu's house.But in the middle of the night, Wei Lin went out with a dazed expression, covered in a layer of black mist as he walked, and soon Wei Lin disappeared into the camera.

The police dug three feet into the ground but couldn't find Wei Lin's figure.The black fog in the video was abnormal, as if it was created by a monster. The police had no choice but to contact the Demon Hunter Organization. After divination with a compass, the Demon Hunter found Wei Lin in the long-abandoned Xu Xiangrong's villa.

But when the demon hunter arrived, Wei Lin was already mad, and kept talking about ghosts.

Xu Xiangrong is not in good health, and he has always loved Wei Lin. He has always taught Wei Lin as his successor. The fact that his beloved disciple went crazy will definitely hit Xu Xiangrong, so others dare not disturb Xu Xiangrong.Ms. Chen had long felt that the painting in the villa was weird, and that's why she paid for a demon exorcist to exorcise the demon late at night.

Xu Xiangrong is a national treasure-level painter, so haunting the villa is naturally a big deal, so the one who came to slay the demons was Kong Lingxiao, the No. 1 demon slayer.

In fact, No.1 is still a fledgling novice. The reason why he became No.1 is because he is not only a rare monster, but also has outstanding talent.

Kong Lingxiao is a peacock spirit, one of the few peacock spirits that hatched directly after the founding of the People's Republic of China and took human form.

Kong Qing, who was traveling with him, was also a peacock spirit and Kong Lingxiao's second brother, but his talent was inferior to his brother's. This time, he came to accompany Kong Lingxiao as a guardian.

This was the first time for Kong Lingxiao to slay demons. The Demon Hunter Organization originally thought it was an ordinary haunted house incident, and the right was to train Kong Lingxiao. Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that they encountered a powerful monster on their first mission.I just don't know if this monster is a painted skin ghost or a form of resentment, so it has both evil and devilish aura.

Now there's one more big problem.

Kong Lingxiao looked at Ms. Chen: "You said this painting is a portrait?"

Ms. Chen looked down at Kong Qing's painting at her feet, and swallowed: "Yes, this is a portrait of the young master of the Zheng family. After his adoptive parents had an accident a year and a half ago, the Zheng family property was adopted by him. My parents' brother took over. It is said that the eldest son of the Zheng family has a problem with his brain, and he usually talks about it. He was kicked out when his adoptive parents had an accident. Many things in his house were also auctioned. I passed by and saw this painting The painting is so good, I couldn’t help but look at it twice, and the Zheng family sold the painting to me.”

Kong Lingxiao looked at the young man's smiling eyebrows and eyes in a daze: "It's really a lifelike picture of a beauty. Kong Qing, it seems that we have to go to Zheng's house and visit this young master who has a problem with his mind."
