Becoming a Demon [Comprehensive]

A scholar suddenly appeared in the field, which was naturally surprising. Fortunately, this scholar looked thin and frail, a serious white-faced scholar, so Huo Yan relaxed his vigilance.

"My name is Huo Yan, of course I can." Huo Yan stretched out his hand and pulled him out of the tall basil.

Ning Caichen was very happy. As soon as he walked to the side of the fire and put down the bookcase, he said without acknowledgment: "Thank you, Xiaosheng wasted some time this time, and I would have missed the village where I stayed. If it weren't for the two of you, I don't know what to do tonight."

The young man was originally accompanying Shen Luo, looking eagerly at the grilled fish beside the fire, but he just gave Ning Caichen a look when he came.Hearing what he said at this time, I hurriedly looked over, and asked eagerly, "Your name is Ning Caichen, right, you must be familiar with this place, do you know where there is a Ling doctor who can treat foxes around here? My fox is sick. "

"Fox?" Ning Caichen glanced at the little figure on the clothes beside him, and said regretfully, "There is no Ling doctor nearby, but Jinhua is a hundred miles away, and there must be someone who can save it."

The young man's eyes showed disappointment, "Well, my name is Huo Jin, thank you for the news." This is the pseudonym Huo Yan got angry at him, and he will be called by this name from now on.

"Hello, little brother Huo Jin."

At this time, Huo Yan asked Ning Caichen if he had eaten, Ning Caichen shook his head in embarrassment, and then said that he had dry food with him.

After hearing this, Huo Yan didn't say anything, he turned around and cut a stick and stuck three fish in it one after another. He cleaned it up quickly and stood by the fire again.

The previous three fish were almost roasted, and one of them was prepared for Shen Luo without seasoning. Huo Yan saw that the little fox hadn't woken up, so he sprinkled this fish with seasoning and handed it to Ning Caichen.

At this time, the young Huo Jin had already eaten grilled fish. While eating, he pulled a small piece and put it next to Shen Luo's nose, hoping to lure her to wake up.

Huo Yan took out two more paper bags from the package, one was braised pork and the other was fried peanuts.Putting them on the cloth towel that had been laid out, he took out another dozen sesame seed cakes, "I bought these in the previous county town, and I'm afraid they will go bad after a long time, so let's share them."

Ning Caichen blinked, and thought of the unfinished pancakes in his bookcase. He was a little surprised. The two of them had prepared so well. It didn't look like they were sleeping outside, but rather like an outing.

Huo Yan set up a pot to boil water, and then came over to eat with the two of them. While eating, he asked Ning Caichen for information.

Through chatting, I learned that he is from Zhejiang. This time he went to Jinhua to take the exam held by the Xueshi. Because he was delayed by some things on the way, he missed the place to stay.

"You are quite courageous, dare to live outside alone." Huo Yan said while gnawing on the fish.

Ning Caichen said with a smile: "I have to walk this road once a year, and I am already very familiar with it, but I didn't expect that the people in the village where I stayed last time had moved away, so I missed the opportunity to stay overnight."

The two chatted for a while and exchanged information. Ning Caichen also learned that the two brothers from the Huo family were from Shaanxi.

"We are also destined. If it is the fastest to go to the capital to take a big boat, why not go to Jinhua together and take a boat from there?" Ning Caichen invited.

Huo Jin didn't care about anything, Huo Yan heard Ning Caichen say this, thought for a while and agreed, they all traveled by land before, no one would have thought of changing the water route this time.

Moreover, his whereabouts have been exposed, and the road ahead must be more difficult. If he is alone, he will naturally be fearless, but it will be difficult to avoid it with the young master.

Thinking of this, Huo Yan made an appointment with Ning Caichen to go to Jinhua together tomorrow.

Shen Luo still didn't catch the spiritual energy this time. She couldn't cultivate by relying on herself. Now she can only rely on external objects, such as swallowing some treasures of heaven and earth, and get part of the spiritual power to break through from the inside.

I don't know if it was because of a sleep or something, but the previous symptoms have eased, at least Shen Luo felt that her spirit has recovered a little bit, at this time she smelled the smell of grilled fish, sniffed her nose and opened her eyes.

As soon as he opened it, he saw a piece of fish in front of his nose. Before Shen Luo could turn his head away from his mouth, he took a step and bit the fish in his mouth.

After eating, Shen Luo sat up, wagging his tail and looked at the three people sitting by the fire, wait for three people, where did the extra people come from?

Shen Luo paced up to the young man, hooked him with his tail, and the young man lowered his head and exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, Xiaobai woke up, Ah Hei, Brother Ning, look at my Xiaobai woke up."

Before Huo Yan could speak, Ning Caichen exclaimed, "Brother Huo Jin, who is Ah Hei?"

Huo Yan covered his face, Huo Jin said embarrassedly: "Ah Hei is the nickname I gave my brother."

Ning Caichen smiled and said, "This name is interesting."

Huo Yan felt that he probably had no face to meet people, so he just pretended to pack his things.

Huo Jin walked up to Ning Caichen, held up Shen Luo and said happily: "Brother Ning, look at my Xiaobai, isn't she very beautiful?" He was like a child showing off his toys to someone he just met .

Ning Caichen couldn't help but nodded when he met the fox's eyes, "It's very beautiful, but should you let it go? It looks very uncomfortable."

"Ah..." Huo Jin quickly let go, "Oh, it's all my fault, Xiaobai hasn't recovered yet, I shouldn't be so rude."

Huo Yan handed over another fish with only a little salt in it and said to Huo Jin, "Hey, let it cool down and feed it to Xiaobai."

Then he continued to chat with Ning Caichen.

When Shen Luo learned that the new scholar was named Ning Caichen, she was almost stuck by a fishbone. Even Ning Caichen came out, so is Nie Xiaoqian still far away?

But being swept over by the eyes of the three at the same time, Shen Luo honestly ate the fish and stopped thinking about it.

The three of them and one fox slept together that night, and set out on the road together the next day.

Huo Yan and Huo Jin rode on one horse, and Ning Caichen gave up the other horse. The three of them headed for Jinhua together, but they arrived in Jinhua City at noon.

After arriving in Jinhua, the two separated. Ning Caichen went to the school to report, and Huo Yan took Huo Jin to the pharmacy to see if there was a doctor who could treat the fox.

This was all Huo Jin's nonsense. Huo Yan followed him, and the two went to several houses. If they didn't see how well they were dressed, they thought they were here to find fault. Finally, they pointed to a simple medicine shop and said, "There is a medicine shop there." The old man also treats animals."

Only then did the two find the right place, the medicine old man was also surprised that he kicked the two out as soon as he got started, and said that he would not treat people with illnesses.

After the two pleaded, they realized that they had put people to death before, and no one would let him see a doctor afterwards. He could only turn to see a doctor for cattle and sheep.

Just now a scribe came over with a donkey and said that he also wanted to see a doctor. The old man saw countless animals, and he knew that it was not a human connection, not a donkey connection.

That's why he reacted so strongly when the two of Huo Yan came over.

As soon as he heard that he had a personal connection on the donkey, Huo Jin suddenly became curious, and Shen Luo also started to think about what was going on.

Coincidentally, the scribe led the donkey and passed by the door of the medicine shop again, and the old man hid behind the two of them in fright, "That's the man, that donkey is very wicked."

Shen Luo didn't have spiritual power at this time, so she couldn't tell if there was anything wrong with the donkey, but she had read a lot in the past few lives, and she knew a few things that could be corrected.

"Since there is such a miracle, then bring that donkey here." Huo Yan said bluntly.

After finishing speaking, he went to call the man over and asked him if he could sell the donkey.

The scholar was very happy, and came in to discuss the price with Huo Yan. Shen Luo looked at the pharmacy and saw a basin of water in front of the door, so she jumped out of Huo Jin's arms and moved forward with her head against the basin. The water in the basin shook, but the basin did not move.

When Huo Jin saw it, she squatted down and asked, "Xiaobai, what are you doing?" He picked her up as he spoke.

Shen Luo jumped down from his arms again, pushed the basin, then ran to the side of the horse, then came back again, pushed the basin again and ran to the side of the horse.

After repeating this, Huo Jin finally understood, "So you want to feed the horse, but are you worried that the horse will be thirsty?"

Shen Luo ignored him. Of course, her goal was not the horse, but the donkey next to the horse.

Huo Jin smiled and picked up Shen Luo and put it on his shoulders, and walked to the horse. At this moment, he happened to see the donkey next to him, and thinking of doing something good, he led the donkey over and went to the next door together. that shop.

This shop is provided for travelers to rest their feet, and naturally it also helps people take care of the animals on the road.

Huo Jin handed over the horse and donkey to Xiaoer, "Take care of them for me, and give them enough feed and water." Then he threw a piece of loose silver over there.

Xiao Er happily took it, and led the horse and donkey aside.

As soon as the donkey saw the water, it squeezed the horse away and went to drink enough. Almost in the blink of an eye, the donkey rolled on the ground in pain and turned into a young man in a blink of an eye.

Almost everyone in the hotel silenced, and Xiao Er quickly supported the young man.

The others were a little scared, but the store owner was very surprised when he came out, "Why is there another one?"

Seeing that the young man was speechless, the store owner was not surprised, and explained to everyone: "A few days ago, someone brought a sheep over, and the sheep rolled over after drinking water, and turned into a child. I only found out after reporting the case. Someone used witchcraft to lure people to eat delicious food, and then turned into a beast. The sorcerer has never been found."

Everyone was in an uproar, and then looked at Huo Jin. Everyone remembered that this little brother brought the donkey over.

Huo Jin was also in a daze. Seeing everyone looking at him, he hurriedly said: "The owner of the donkey is in Yaosou's pharmacy. I saw that the donkey was very thirsty, so I did a good deed and brought it here." I didn't expect that it would shock him. Eyeballs, the donkey turned into a human after drinking the water.

A group of people started to look for the donkey owner together.As soon as he entered Yaosou's pharmacy, he realized that the man had been arrested by the government. It turned out that Yaosou had secretly sent someone to find the police who were patrolling the city.

Huo Yan and the others didn't get involved in this matter, but asked Yaosou to help them look at the fox's physical problems first, and learned that the cub was weaned when he was too young, and he couldn't eat too greasy and strong food.If you have eaten inappropriately before, it will cause physical discomfort.

That is to say, if you want to feed it, you have to follow the fox's diet, and it is best not to feed it cooked food.

Ever since Huo Jin got the little fox, he was like a baby. He would feed her whatever he ate. He never thought that the recipes between the two would be inconsistent, and it was like a bolt from the blue.

If it wasn't for what Yaosou said this time, it might not be certain when he would feed Xiaobai to death.

What was even more thunderbolt was Shen Luo. As soon as she learned that she had to eat mice, frogs, live fish, live shrimp, etc., she wanted to kill her head-on.

After bidding farewell to Yaosou, Huo Yan took Huo Jin and Shen Luo, who were in a daze, to the pier outside the city. Jinhua's water transportation is very developed, and merchant ships extend in all directions.

So the two went to ask if there was any merchant ship heading to the capital.

"Yes, but they left yesterday, and the next shift will be in three days."

When Huo Yan heard this, he began to inquire again if there was anyone on the freight ship who was willing to take people with him.

"I advise you not to stop. To tell you the truth, I don't know how many black people I meet every year. Be careful that you will be caught in the pond." A little old man on the pier said, "I have worked on this pier for more than 40 years. , I don’t know how many things I have heard, if there are regular merchant ships, they will still be merchant ships, and no one of those cargo ships will play a guest role as a water bandit at any time, this world is in chaos.”

Huo Yan solemnly thanked him.

Huo Jin followed Huo Yan back to the city. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the city, he saw a notice posted on the notice, saying that there were two vicious murderers in a certain county in Zhejiang. The skin was all peeled off.

Then attach a portrait, if someone sees the two of them and reports it to the government office, there will be a big reward.

Huo Jin rubbed his chin, then looked at the bearded man with a scar on his face in the portrait, and said to Huo Yan: "Ah Hei, is that me in this portrait? It doesn't look like me at all. ah?"

Huo Yan looked around, seeing that no one noticed his young master's words, he quickly dragged him out, "My young master, are you planning to tell others that you are a wanted criminal?"

He didn't expect that the county magistrate would do so terribly, falsely claiming that they were murderers and wanting to arrest them.

This is all about staying alive.

That's right, the other party has already planned to be their enemy. If they escape, it will be unlucky for the county magistrate. No wonder the other party plans to kill them.

It is impossible to stay in this city, and fortunately they are outside the city, otherwise the city gate would not be easy to get out.

Huo Yan turned around and went to look for the little old man on the pier before, "My brother and I don't have much money left. After buying the boat ticket, there is not much left. May I ask the old man, is there any temple or Taoist temple nearby where we can stay?" The temple can allow people to live for free for a few days and provide food.

The old man thought about it. I don’t know much about it, but there is a temple in the north. I saw a scholar asked me the way two days ago. If you are not afraid, you can live there and have someone to accompany you.

Huo Yan asked about the situation. It turned out that there was a deserted tomb over there, which caused the burning of incense and the monks in the temple to be gone.

When Huo Yan thought about this place, no one would go to search it, and it would be safe in a short time, and the ship would be ready for departure in three days.

So I bought some things in a few shops next to the pier, and then took Huo Jin to the northern suburbs.

As soon as he walked halfway, he saw a scholar walking by the side of the road with a bookcase on his back. Huo Yan saw the familiar figure, and hurriedly called out, "Ning Sheng is in front."

Ning Caichen turned his head and saw that it was the Huo brothers and he was also very happy, "Aren't you going to the capital by boat? Why are you here?"

Huo Yan said happily: "Didn't you get on the boat? The next boat to the capital will be in a few days. Where is Ning Sheng going?"

Ning Caichen said with embarrassment on his face at this time: "Because the city will hold exams, housing prices have risen so much that it is not affordable for young students. I heard that there is a temple in the north where I can spend the night, so I thought about going there to save money. spend."

Huo Yan clasped his hands together and said, "That's great. It's the same with my younger brother. I spent too much before. Seeing that I don't have enough money, I plan to spend the night in that temple."

The two looked at each other and smiled, then Huo Yan said: "Since we are on the same road, Ning Sheng is welcome, and go with us."

Ning Caichen readily agreed.

The three of them went to the temple together, and the temple was easy to find, just at the foot of a mountain in the north, but there was a deserted cemetery around it, which made people feel flustered.

It's okay to enter the temple, most of the monk's houses in the temple are still intact, the doors on the east and west sides are open, only one on the south side, with a new lock on the door.

Huo Yan glanced at it, and it must be the room where the scholar the old man at the dock said lived.He took Huo Jin to look around, and found that the other rooms were empty, but there were no spider webs, presumably someone often borrowed them.

He chose one at random, "My brother and I will live in this one."

Ning Caichen chose the one next door, "Then I'll choose this place, just for company." Then he looked around the yard, and saw clumps of bamboos growing on the east side, and under the bamboos was a large pond full of lotus flowers. , although the place is a bit deserted, but the environment is quiet, it is a good place to study.

"It's really nice here, I plan to stay here for a long time." Ning Caichen continued.

Shen Luo jumped down from Huo Jin's arms. She walked around. Although she lost her mana, her eyesight was still there. She could naturally find that this road was a place where Yin gathers. Adding the name Ning Caichen, Shen Luo suspected that she was It's not that I came to the world of Liaozhai.

Not long after, a scholar came in from the outside. He directly unlocked the door to the south, and was about to push the door in.

Ning Caichen and Huo Yan went over together, and said that he planned to borrow.

The scholar replied: "I'm also borrowing here. There is no owner here. It's too desolate. If you two are willing to stay here, it's convenient for me to ask for advice."

Huo Yan bluntly said that he would only stay for a few days before he had to leave, but Ning Caichen was very happy. The three talked for a while and exchanged names.

The scholar said: "My surname is Yan, and my name is Chixia.

When Shen Luo heard Yan Chixia's name, her eyes changed immediately, and then she looked towards the big tree to the north of the temple, with a flash of fire in her eyes.

Ning Caichen heard that he didn't have an accent from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so he asked him where he was from.

Yan Chixia only said that she was from Shaanxi, and then went back to her room.

Ning Caichen and Huo Yan cleaned their rooms one after another, spread some straw on the ground as a bed, and set up wooden boards as a table, so that the room looked a little more decent.

That night, Huo Yan took food as usual and shared it with others. This time, there was an extra Yan Chixia, and then he washed up and fell asleep with Huo Jin.

As soon as they fell asleep, Shen Luo got up quietly, took a few stones from the yard and placed them in front of the two people's doors, and then returned to the house to continue sleeping.

At night, a dark shadow wandered around in front of the door, unable to enter, and finally entered Ning Caichen's room next door.

Shen Luo closed her eyes and listened to the movement next door, and only slowly fell asleep after the scolding subsided.

Early the next morning, another scholar came to live in with a servant. The scholar was very arrogant and didn't like to talk to others.

Everyone only knew his name was Lan Xi.

However, Lan Xi died that night, and the next morning it was discovered that his servant had died. After reporting to the officials, the officials carried him away, only to find that there was a small hole bleeding under his feet.

Huo Yan naturally sensed that there was something strange in this temple, one more thing is worse than one less thing, and he didn't care if he was not found, but he still kept Huo Jin by his side, not daring to let him leave at will.

Another night later, the servant also died. Now even the nervous Huo Jin realized that something was wrong. When he went to bed that night, he hugged Shen Luo tightly.It took Shen Luo a long time to get out of his arms, and then quickly ran outside to recover the formation.

It can be said that the reason why no one disturbs them in the room and cannot hear the strange things outside is due to this formation.

Shen Luo is very sure that Huo Yan and Huo Jin would not have appeared here in the first place. If she hadn't escaped and was bought by Huo Yan, she wouldn't have quarreled with Miss Wang, and she wouldn't have suspected them if Miss Wang was killed. This series of reactions made them participate in this incident. She is obliged to ensure that the two of them will not be killed by ghosts, and there is something she wants behind the temple.

Early the next morning, Ning Caichen bought a table of food and invited Yan Chixia and Huo Yan and Huo Jin to go there together.

Xi Zhong expressed his admiration for Yan Chixia, and then invited him to move in and live with him.

"I am withdrawn by nature, I like to be clean, and I don't like to live with others." Yan Chixia refused.

Seeing the fear and anxiety on Ning Caichen's face, Huo Yan knew that there must be something inside, so he helped to make peace.

In the end, Ning Caichen went directly to help Yan Chixia carry the luggage, Huo Yan was surprised, Yan Chixia could only move the bed here.
