My Taoist companion is a little fox

The snowy night was long, and tears flowed from the corners of the eyes of the little Taoist Zhou Ke.

In the guest room across the room, Zheng Wang's dream is also going on.

The fifth son, Zheng Liu, was placed in the cold palace since he was born. He never saw his mother, concubine and father, and grew up quietly in the cold palace with his wet nurse.

One year in the cold winter, the charcoal fire was cut off in the cold palace, and the nurse wrapped all the thicker clothes on him, and went out in the heavy snow to beg for the charcoal fire quilt.At that time, he was so cold that even the palms of his little hands were purple.The wind and snow were howling outside the window, and seven-year-old Zheng Liu suddenly became dizzy from the cold and felt extremely hot all over.He stripped off his clothes, stumbled out of the house, and rushed into the courtyard trying to get into the snow buried up to his calves.

Suddenly thunder fell from the night sky, zila zila struck beside him, frightened Xiao Zhengliu.

"Great, hiss."

A lazy subwoofer came from the wind and snow, Xiao Zhengliu looked for the source of the sound in doubt, and then felt something really cold wrapped around his ankle, got into the clothes and coiled around his calf superior.

"Child, what's the matter with you? You're not much warmer than me."

The icy thing started from his feet, circled quickly, and finally protruded a flat head from Zheng Liu's lapel. The black beans' eyes were narrowed into slits - the red snake yawned vividly , Hissing Snake Xinzi spit out: "Thank you, little guy, you have done a lot of good deeds and blocked the thunder for me."

Zheng Liu, who was still dazed from the cold before, was frightened out of his wits and screamed, "Snake!"

Tears burst out like marbles, the red snake twisted its body and slid onto his shoulder, the snake letter caught the child's teardrops.It seemed to suck a few times, and then the snake tail got into his clothes and stuck to his skin, and began to create a burning temperature in the cold night.

Zheng Liu suddenly felt a warm current covering his whole body, as if the wind and snow in the world could no longer bully him.

"Go back to the house, silly kid." Red Snake yawned lazily again, "I'm not a bad snake, you accidentally saved me, and I'll repay you. Do you know who I am? This uncle is a good monster with 400 years of cultivation, pay attention to the fact that the harmony here can be separated..."

The red snake was croaking, Zheng Liu ran back to the house with all his strength, and the snake's head was shaken so much that it moved, so it said with the most beautiful subwoofer: "Oh, don't run so fast, my head is going to hurt!" Fly out!"

When Zheng Liu hid back in the house, the red snake was already lying on his shoulder with its head drooping, looking like it was going to die.He wanted to pull off the red snake and throw it away, but the small snake tail was tightly wrapped around his little hand.

"Child, don't let go of me, or you will freeze to death. There is no one else in your big house, only me, a kind and good monster like me."

Zheng Liu, who was in tears, was trembling: "When my mother comes back, I will, I will..."

Red Snake's laughter echoed in the cold palace: "Okay, when your lord comes back, you can deal with me together."

They dozed off together, so sleepy they cuddled together.

The wind and snow passed overnight, and the nurse never came back.

Zheng Liu stepped on the bench and looked out the window, and gradually stopped crying.

This cold palace is the end of the world.

"Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai, what's your name kid?" Chi Snake probably also saw his predicament, and raised his spirits to make a noise.

Only he and this snake that could not be shaken off were left in the cold palace, he was not afraid this time, and replied dumbly: "Zheng Liu."

"Stay?" Red Snake said badly, "Pomegranate, sulfur, leprosy, which one are you?"

The child slumped onto the bench, hugged his knees and shed tears: "No one stays."

The red snake got stuck, slid from his right shoulder to his left shoulder, and finally swam into his clothes, and pressed his head against Zheng Liu's chin: "Oh, don't cry... nonsense, who said no one will stay? Here it is!"

Zheng Liu wiped his eyes: "But you are not human..."

Before the tears were wiped away, and his vision was still blurred, he felt himself being hugged by someone, and was dumbfounded for a while.

"Here, look, my uncle can take human form."

The subwoofer was smiling, and Zheng Liu rubbed his eyes indiscriminately trying to see what was in front of him, but it became blurred more and more.

He blew on Zheng Liu, and the child's tears stopped.

"I'll stay with you. Zheng Guo's winter is really cold, but I don't need to hibernate in the future, and I will accompany you in winter."

Zheng Liu sobbed and opened his red and swollen eyes. He was hugged by the snake monster on his shoulders, and when he lowered his head, he saw the smiling handsome man.

"I have been practicing in the deep mountains and old forests for 400 years, and it is time for me to enter the mundane world and experience it. Let's start with you three inches." The evil spirit came, "Also, I don't have a name yet. The names of the monsters can only be determined by mortals, and they can only be determined by calling them. If you call me, I will answer you, and I will be found."

Zheng Liu looked at the red scales at the end of his eyebrows that had not been completely hidden, and was dumbfounded, unable to react.

"Just like you, forget it, I'll think of one myself. Well, Zheng Liu, Zheng Liu..." The snake demon rolled his eyes and looked brightly, "It's enough to stay for a long time! Come, come, call Ben uncle!"

He was stunned for a long time before he called out bluntly: "Long...stay."

The snake demon responded happily: "Hey!!"

After many years, Zheng Liu slowly came to his senses.

You take my name as your own.

I call you, from now on this snake demon belongs to me.

Zheng Wang couldn't help raising the corners of his lips in his sleep.

He and the snake demon stayed in the cold palace for nine years. At that time, the old King Zheng died, and the first four Zheng Gongzi fought hard to seize the throne, causing the whole country to be in turmoil.

The fifth son, who was raised like a weed in the cold palace, gradually came into the sight of all parties.He began to be wooed, taken out of the cold palace, stepped into the resplendent center of royal power, and became the chosen son whom everyone scrambled to worship.

The young Zheng Liu first entered the ranks of nobles, and the breath of conspiracy rushed over his face, like walking a tightrope.The first thing he did after he stabilized his heel was to look for the nurse who abandoned him back then, but unfortunately he couldn't find it anywhere.Half a month later, the palace people rebuilt the Lenggong and dug up a corpse in the snow eight hundred steps away from the Lenggong.

He rushed to the scene.

Mother's humble bones were buried under the snow, and he stood on the snow wrapped in expensive fox fur and looked down.

After returning, Red Snake comforted him: "Don't be sad, Muma must have reincarnated in a paradise where there is no such thing as spring all the year round."

He hummed, and after a long silence, he raised his head and said to him, "Chang Liu, I want to be king."

The snake demon opened his mouth wide, and the first reaction was to frown, and the chain reaction was to knock his head and then push his forehead to his forehead: "Are you having a fever?!"

The young man looked straight into the snake demon's eyes, and paused every word: "I'm not confused, I want to be king. Changliu, you are a good monster, help me."

"Isn't it what you're trying to do?" The snake demon was anxious, "Look at the state of Zheng now, there are natural disasters, man-made disasters, political and legal chaos, and people everywhere, look at yourself, you have a hammer and a confidant bargaining chip? "

"I don't have it right now, but I know there is a way." The young man propped himself up and leaned on the bed, pointing to himself expressionlessly: "I've already found out why the brothers have drawn me in. The most yin blood, my blood can open the altar under the throne, and summon the ghost army from all over the world to use for me."

"what?!"

"So they are all trying to win me over and want me to become a pawn." The boy's browbones were hidden inch by inch into the shadows, "Since I have such great use, why do I need to attach to them? Ascend to the supreme throne and become the king no one dares to trample on me and those around me."

The snake demon stared at him blankly for a while: "Do you want to avenge Mommy?"

"I don't want to see the end like Muma's again." Zheng Liu stared straight at him, "Chang Liu, can you help me?"

The snake demon hesitated for a while, and finally just raised his head to rub his hair, and sighed exaggeratedly: "Little spicy chicken."

They started a game, but the snake demon disagreed with him calling the ghost army.He can't abuse the power of demons to interfere in mortal affairs, but to help him gather wealth together, win over loyal subjects, and reap the benefits of the first four sons in the battle for the throne.

But no matter how reserved you are, there will be a day when you will meet your opponents in battle.

When the army approached the city, he calmly gave the order to defend the city, then returned to the throne, and ordered the altar to be reopened.He stood in the center of the altar, not afraid of the blood-stained and incomplete curse marks, and the short dagger was about to cut his wrist when he drew it out of its sheath.

The snake demon flew up to hold his hand, and his cynical expression changed.

"I'll take you away. I can take your people away too. Zheng Liu, don't open this altar, don't fight for that useless chair." He begged him in a low voice, "Mother won't come back, but You still have your own way, this bloody and cold road is not suitable for you...you still have me, don’t you? I’ll take you away, let’s find a good place where spring flowers bloom.”

Zheng Liu couldn't break free from his hand, and after a moment of stalemate, he asked, "Chang Liu, has your lightning calamity passed?"

The snake demon's expression changed drastically: "You..."

"Ten years, it should have passed." Zheng Liu gritted his teeth, "You don't need me to block the thunder anymore, and I have grown up, so I don't need you anymore."

"You don't have to talk about it! Come with me!"

Zheng Liu refused to give in: "I will never leave. Even if I can't summon a ghost army, dying here is a thousand times better than living in a corner! In my previous life, I was like a dog in a cold palace trying to survive, and I couldn't keep myself I can't protect anyone, I've had enough of that darkness!"

The veins on the snake demon's forehead popped out, scales appeared around the corners of its eyes, and its eyes were fierce.

Zheng Liu saw his plan and didn't give him the slightest leeway: "Okay, you can take me away by force. But as long as I live, I will use all means to kill myself. You can either go by yourself or stay, I half Not even a step away."

The snake demon's strength was weak, and he took advantage of this to slowly open his hand: "Changliu, I am an ordinary person in the world, I have my way, you are a great monster in the world, you have your way. We just happened to be in It’s been a while in the years when you need me, and now the old road is over, and it’s time to go our separate ways.”

The snake demon stared at him for a long time, then suddenly pulled him into his arms and hugged him forcefully, and said in a hoarse voice: "I tell you, if I leave, I will never come back to you again!"

"You go." Zheng Liu held back his trembling, "There is a sea and sky outside, you should have left long ago."

He heard the basilisk's unsteady panting, like a sob.The snake demon let go of him, reached into the skirt of his clothes, and then gave him a red scale trembling.

"Okay, I won't play with you anymore, you can play by yourself." The snake demon turned around and left without looking back.He also left a slight leeway, making this parting look a bit decent: "If you are still alive next spring, I will come back and settle accounts with you."

Zheng Liu clenched the scales tightly, watching the snake demon walk away without saying a word.

He is not a pure person, he is full of scheming, but at this moment, he let go of the most deep-rooted reluctance, admitting that this different road will never return.

Later, he filled an altar with blood, waited for four days, and summoned the ghost army at the last moment before the city was broken.

At that moment, it was icy cold, and the temperature of the snake demon when he was by his side disappeared completely.

Such as the ghost army of the tide counterattacked the cold armor in the world, turned defeat into victory without any suspense, and he ascended the throne as he wished.

The general of all ghosts was attached to the crudely made puppet, and took the lead to kneel at his feet.Behind him, ten thousand ghosts, invisible to all eyes, knelt down and filled Zheng Du.

The boy's long-cherished wish was fulfilled, and no one in the world can bully him anymore.

From then on, he dealt with Zheng Guo's administration with great anxiety, while looking forward to the early spring of next year.Even if he knew that it was basically impossible for the demon to come back, even if he did, it would only be to watch him sink into this unbearable mud.

And 11 years later, the snake demon really never came back.

King Zheng trembled in his sleep.

He felt cold again.
