As soon as Zhang Luoye and Jia Yan arrived at the gate, they saw a maid running out in a hurry, with fear and anxiety on her face.
Jia Yan¡¯s heart moved and she asked hurriedly:
¡°Mother, what¡¯s wrong with her?¡±
The maid glanced at Zhang Luoye doubtfully and said to Jia Yan:
"Just now, when Xiaomei was serving dinner to Madam, she didn't expect that Madam would suddenly pounce on her and bite her. We were all frightened. We finally separated them and hurried out to ask the doctor to treat Madam."
Jia Yan knew it well, but pretended to say:
"There is no need to call the doctor. You go down and get Xiaomei to be bandaged. If this matter is leaked to outsiders, I will only ask you. Do you understand?"
Jia Yan sighed slightly, and without hesitation took Zhang Luoye straight to the backyard. No other maids dared to approach that courtyard, which was where Jia Mu lived.
Arriving at the door of the courtyard, Jia Yan asked Zhang Luoye to wait while he carefully walked to the door of the wing. After knocking on the door, he asked softly:
"Mother, Jia'er is back, and I would like to express my greetings to you."
Jia Yan was met with silence. Jia Yan didn't care and knocked on the door again to ask.
After a while, a woman's delicate laughter suddenly came from the room. It was Jia Mu's laughter. It was very crazy, with a painful hum!
Jia Yan's face changed slightly, and he pushed the door hard, only to find that the door was locked. As a last resort, he had to push the door harder.
After a while, Jia Yan finally pushed the door open and went in. Zhang Luoye looked over and heard Jia Mu's angry scolding coming from the room, followed by a sound of slapping.
Zhang Luoye was afraid that something might happen to Jia Yan, so he hurriedly walked to the door and tried to peek inside.
In the room, a woman with disheveled hair, bare feet and wearing white clothes, looked like a ghost.
She frantically slapped Jia Yan with a bronze mirror. Jia Yan bit her lips tightly and suffered in silence, but her eyes carefully looked around, trying to find the hiding place of the vixen.
Seeing Jia Yan being slapped like this, Jia Yan couldn¡¯t help but get angry. She grabbed a wooden stool and chased Jia Yan while beating her and cursing angrily. She was so crazy!
Jia Yan was really a filial son. Even if his mother beat him with a wooden stool until his skin fell off and his blood flowed, he did not dare to fight back.
Zhang Luoye sighed softly and secretly said that Jia Yan is a filial son, but as a disciple of the inheritance, he needs to observe more.
With this thought in his mind, he shook his sleeves and saw a flash of rays of light, instantly entering Jia Mu's body. The latter's crazy expression stopped instantly, and she fell softly to the ground.
¡°Mother, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡±
Jia Yan didn¡¯t see Zhang Luoye¡¯s actions, thinking something had happened to Jia Mu, and shook her shoulders anxiously.
"There is no need to disturb her. Your Majesty is fine. I just cast a spell to make her fall asleep."
Zhang Luoye stepped forward and explained.
Hearing this, Jia Yan hurriedly knelt down to Zhang Luoye:
"The Immortal Master has great powers, please show mercy and save my mother."
Zhang Luoye waved his hand and said calmly:
"Don't worry. Since I promised you, I won't break my promise. You can help me lie down on the bed first, and let me feel her pulse before I speak."
"OK."
Jia Yan nodded, followed what Zhang Luoye said, helped Jia Mu to lie down on the bed, and then watched Zhang Luoye checking Jia Mu's pulse.
After a while, Zhang Luoye retracted his arm with a thoughtful look on his face.
Although Jia Yan was anxious, it was not easy to interrupt Zhang Luoye's contemplation, so he stood aside and remained silent.
After a while, Zhang Luoye took out a Bagua mirror from his arms with a slight twinkle in his eyes, and then whispered some spell in his mouth.
Then he saw that the Bagua Mirror suddenly trembled slightly, and suddenly it was like a searchlight, a white beam of light shining directly at the mother.
She was sleeping, and screamed strangely, and then a large amount of green smoke came out from her body. When the smoke dissipated, she spit out a mouthful of green blood, and then fell asleep on the bed again.
Jia Yan stared blankly, as if he didn't believe his eyes. Although he kept saying that his mother was bewitched by the vixen, it was just a guess. After all, he was a mortal, and he was in awe of monsters and monsters.
? ?Immortal Master, what happened to my mother? Is the fox spirit dead? "
Jia Yan came back to her senses and asked tentatively.
Zhang Luoye shook his head and said:
"No, I just expelled the evil spirit attached to your body, but the evil spirit has been attached for a while. If you want to wake up, I am afraid you will have to rest for a few days."
When Jia Yan heard this, he knelt down and bowed down without saying a word:
"I ask the immortal master to kill that fox spirit and save my mother's life. It is a great kindness. I am willing to be a cow or a horse to repay you."
"Get up and talk."
Zhang Luoye raised his right hand slightly, and a soft force came out of the void to help Jia Yan up:
"I see that the windows in this house are blocked up. Is it you who did it?"
Jia Yan nodded and said:
"Yes, after my mother's accident, in order to ensure her safety, I imitated the work of a mason, transported some bricks, and blocked several windows in the room, but I just didn't expect that after doing so, the fox still let .Sneak into the room."
Zhang Luoye said calmly:
"Demons and ghosts can escape through walls, and physical blockade alone will not work. It would be a warning. I just gave your mother a hint while exorcising the evil spirit from her body."
"A hint? But I don't know what the hint is?"
It was related to her mother¡¯s life, Jia Yan had to ask clearly.
Zhang Luoye analyzed:
"It's not that complicated, it's just to keep her looking crazy. Firstly, it makes the vixen 'relax', thinking that the evil spirit she exerted is still there, which makes it easier for us to act in secret; secondly, it's also to make it more It¡¯s good to protect your daughter¡¯s life, otherwise the fox spirit may kill people and silence her when she sees the defeat.¡±
"The Immortal Master is very considerate."
Jia Yan nodded heartily.
Zhang Luoye touched his chin and murmured:
"That's it for now. The fox spirit may appear again tonight. With my cultivation, it will definitely feel it, so I can't be here."
Jia Yan¡¯s face changed after hearing this:
"Master Immortal, what should we do?"
"Don't worry, just come over here."
Zhang Luoye¡¯s eyes flashed and he waved in Jia Yan¡¯s direction.
¡¡¡¡¡¡.
"That night, all the maids and servants in the Jia family were very confused by the young master's behavior.
Jia Yan was seen squatting on the floor of the kitchen without saying a word, holding a whetstone and rubbing a kitchen knife he picked up from the kitchen until it made a squeaking sound until the knife was sharpened. , he stopped what he was doing.
Gradually, late at night fell, and everyone under the maid was almost asleep, but Jia Yan was not tired, holding the sharpened kitchen knife in her arms, squatting in the grass of the courtyard opposite her mother's room.
Beside him, an oil lamp was held by a gourd, causing the light to scatter dimly in a short distance around him.
Jia Yan¡¯s eyes were bright and he waited patiently. He didn¡¯t pick up the ladle in a hurry until the sound of voices sounded in his mother¡¯s room.
Suddenly, a bright light shot out from the oil lamp, making the ground in front of the room illuminated.
Seeing this, Jia Yan pretended to shout loudly, and the room suddenly became quiet, as if the voice just heard was just an illusion.
Jia Yan smiled coldly and pretended to walk into the distance, giving people the illusion that he was searching for a distant place. When he could get out of the hospital, he hurriedly tiptoed back to the door of the room.
After taking out the sharpened kitchen knife from his arms, he held a simple array board in the palm of his other hand. It was the array board given to him by Zhang Luoye that could make invisible monsters and ghosts appear.
After about a moment, the door opened a gap, and then a small figure shot out!
Jia Yan¡¯s face turned cold, and he raised his knife towards that figure!
The sound of ¡®dang¡¯ was the sound of the kitchen knife touching the ground.
However, it was still a step too late. No, to be precise, the figure was too fast. Jia Yan's sword only cut off one of its tails, which was more than two inches long, but the figure escaped in a hurry. Enter the courtyard gate.
Jia Yan picked up the tail and took a look and found that it was a fox's tail. Surprisingly, there was not a drop of blood dripping from the wound of this tail that had just been chopped off. It was really weird.
¡¡¡¡¡¡.
"It's all my fault. I finally had such an opportunity, but let it escape. Master Immortal, how is my mother?"
Jia Yan¡¯s face was downcast,After taking a look at Jia Mu on the bed, she asked Zhang Luoye.
At this time, Zhang Luoye took back his hand that was touching Jia Mu's veins, and after thinking for a while, he said:
"Don't bother, that fox spirit didn't see through my hint and didn't cause any harm to your Majesty. However, I underestimated it. You obviously let you attack like this sneakily and arranged a formation to limit its speed in advance, but you still let it go. Ran away."
As he said this, he reached out and grabbed the fox tail, especially looking at the wound on the tail.
"It's really strange. Even a well-trained monster can't shed a drop of blood when its arms and legs are severed. What's more, what it severed was the most important tail in the fox's body. It seems that this guy must be What¡¯s the evil way to practice?¡±
Jia Yan asked:
"Master Immortal, what should we do next?"
"That's right."
Zhang Luoye couldn¡¯t help but touched his chin:
"The fox spirit is injured now, so it's the best time to kill it. With this tail, we can cast spells to track its whereabouts. Well, that's it. Little brother, go and prepare. I'm afraid we'll need it soon. Take a walk.¡±
Jia Yan nodded and hurriedly got up to prepare, while Zhang Luoye, wearing a Taiyi Taoist robe and an Eryijiaotai crown, started practicing in front of the altar.
Jia Yan followed Zhang Luoye's instructions and brought the water and chicken blood. Zhang Luoye took it and placed it gently on the table. Then he waved the peach wood sword on the spot and muttered something.
About a moment later, he suddenly grabbed a handful of rice from the bowl and threw it towards the flame of the incense candle.
There was a "whoosh" sound, and the flame of the incense candle exploded. Zhang Luoye couldn't help but his eyes flashed, and with a slight drink, he turned somersault backwards. The peach wood sword in his hand danced faster and faster, and his feet He even started to use the seven-star footwork.
Jia Yan's eyes widened as he watched. Zhang Luoye's behavior made him feel very unbelievable. If he hadn't known what the other party was doing, he would have thought that the other party was having a convulsion!
Is this the Taoist law? Can chanting a spell and dancing a sword like this be enough to communicate with ghosts and gods and reach the underworld?
At this moment, Zhang Luoye gave a loud drink and grabbed a bottle of chicken blood. After taking a sip, he squeezed his right hand into a flower shape and flexibly traced runes on the surface of the porcelain bowl with his fingertips.
After the runes were completely formed, Zhang Luoye reached out with his right hand toward the fox tail on the table. The tail suddenly floated into the air. Zhang Luoye moved toward the tail without hesitation, spit it out and held it in his mouth for a long time. of chicken blood!
Suddenly, a surprising scene appeared.
The fox¡¯s tail rose into the sky with a soft groan, trying to escape from here!
How could Zhang Luoye let it escape?
He shouted loudly, pushed down lightly with his left foot, and rose up from the ground. With a slight shake of the mahogany sword in his hand, he chopped off the fox's tail.
There was no sound. The fox's tail was like a well-behaved child, clinging to the peach wood sword. Following Zhang Luoye's falling figure, it landed on the plate of clear water. The chicken blood above it instantly dyed the entire plate of water red.
Jia Yan watched in amazement as the tail kept spinning on the water. At this time, Zhang Luoye quickly picked up a piece of white paper and held a brush in his right hand.
After getting the ink on, he muttered something in his mouth, as if calculating the distance, and then swung his pen down to draw vertical and horizontal lines on the white paper, which was extremely cautious.
After a while, Zhang Luoye stopped. He exhaled and said with a smile:
"It's done, look."
Jia Yan came around and looked at the things on the paper with confusion. After Zhang Luoye's analysis, he found out that Zhang Luoye used the tail and the vixen's aura to track its whereabouts from a long distance. Drawn on this white paper is the route to where it fled.
"Let's go."
Zhang Luoye waved his hand and said he should go ahead. Seeing this, Jia Yan hurriedly followed.
It is now the middle of the Yin hour, it is still dark, the road is pitch black, there is not a single person inhabited, and there is a gust of cold wind blowing from time to time, which is extremely cold.
The two of them moved forward in a hurry. Zhang Luoye paused from time to time, staring at the white paper, making gestures and secretly calculating the distance.
After a while, the two of them walked through several streets and came across a ruined temple. The temple door collapsed on one side. From outside the door, we could see the weeds growing wildly inside and the broken walls. It was very scary. desolate.
Needless to say, Zhang Luoye said that Jia Yan had already walked around the temple tactfully, trying to find the best entrance to enter.
The reason why you don¡¯t enter through the temple gate is that the temple gate is so obvious and you can¡¯t enter from there.??, it will definitely alert the snake.
After some research, Jia Yan discovered that there was a collapsed gap in the north wall. Weeds were growing there. Entering from here would definitely serve as a good concealment.
After seeing this, Zhang Luoye nodded, and got in through the gap with Jia Yan. Looking at the temple at such a close distance, he found that the degree of ruin was even worse.
After passing through the front yard and reaching the back yard, a voice suddenly came from the front!
Zhang Luoye hurriedly made a stop movement and squatted down. Jia Yan did not react slowly and did the same.
Through the gaps in the grass, you can see three figures in the desolate backyard. Two people are sitting on a relatively complete stone table and chair in the courtyard, and one person stands respectfully aside.
The two people sitting there, one is very tall, with three eyes on his face, especially the vertical eye on his forehead, which seems to emit a chilly light even in such a dark night.
The other person is very short. Judging from his appearance, he is exactly the human form of the fox spirit that escaped from Jia's mansion.
As for the man standing, he had a long beard and was wearing dark brown clothes. It seemed that he should be a slave. He was holding a pot of wine and pouring wine for the two people who drank the empty glasses from time to time.
Zhang Luoye was quite puzzled. The three-eyed man was obviously not a monster, but he exuded a suffocating aura of death. Even from such a distance, he could smell the corpse stench coming from him!
I wonder what the relationship between these three people is?
Because he was worried that the three-eyed man's vertical eyes might have some weird powers, Zhang Luoye hurriedly told Jia Yan not to look into his eyes.
Not to mention Zhang Luoye, one person and one demon in the courtyard began to talk at this time.
The three-eyed man said:
"Second brother, second brother, what do you think of me as a brother? I was so tired that I even had my tail cut off because I was coveting the physical yin of a mere mortal woman. You must know that the tail is the source of strength for your fox clan. , although it will grow back after a while, the decline in strength is an indisputable fact."
The fox spirit heard this and gritted his teeth and said:
"The most disgusting thing is that bastard, how dare you plot against me! Once I'm healed, I have to tear him apart!"
The three-eyed man said coldly:
"That's enough! If you weren't arrogant and reckless, how could you fall for the trap of a child? Why do you think I spared your life and still called you brothers? It was your strength that you liked. If you continue to do this If everything doesn¡¯t work, don¡¯t blame me for killing my relatives out of righteousness!¡±
The fox spirit trembled when he heard it, as if he remembered the past, and his face turned extremely pale.
"Go and kill that woman and her family without leaving any further trouble. Do you understand?"
The three-eyed man changed his tone and said coldly.
"this¡¡¡"
The fox spirit was a little hesitant.
The three-eyed man¡¯s face suddenly turned cold, and he shouted:
"What? Don't you even listen to what I say? Do you really dislike your longevity?"
When Jia Yan heard this, she clenched her fists bitterly, her face full of anger. The other party's words were so irritating!
"Okay, but please allow me one more day, brother, and then I will kill them all."
The fox spirit hesitated again and again, but finally gave in.
The three-eyed man waved his hand indifferently:
"It's up to you. 'That day' is coming now. Even your insignificant power can be of great help. Don't forget this."
"Yes Yes Yes."
The fox spirit nodded quickly:
"'That day'? It seems that the head immortal master is finally going to implement that plan."
The three-eyed man said calmly:
"Yes, for the arrival of 'that day', both Master and us have been preparing for a long time. Counting from the day of being cursed, it has been decades, which is really a long time. That damn guy, If you turn us into a person who looks nothing like a human being or a ghost like a ghost, I really want to fry his skin and tear his bones apart!"
Fox.Jing hurriedly complimented and said:
"Then I wish that the plan will go smoothly, and that the eldest brother and the people in the sect will all turn into human beings."
"Humph, do you need to say anything? It's natural that the plan goes well."
Although he said this, it was obvious that the three-eyed man's expression softened.
After thinking about it for a while, the fox spirit showed a worried expression:
"But, brother. That Zhong Kui is known as the head of the four great judges, and was awarded the title of 'Demon-Slaying Judge'. A 'Demon-Slaying Sword' is compared to the one forged by the world's number one blacksmith."The four divine swords and the seven demon soldiers that I made are not inferior by a few points, I am worried"
Zhang Luoye's heart moved when he heard this, and he was quite confused. How did this involve Zhong Kui?
"snort!"
The three-eyed man waved his hand again, interrupting the vixen:
"What's there to worry about? Although Zhong Kui is invincible, just because he is Zhong Kui, he will definitely be used by us."
"Brother is absolutely right. By the way, brother, I have made an appointment with my cousin to get together tomorrow. Can he help with the master's plan?"
The fox spirit remembered something and said eagerly.
The three-eyed man pondered for a moment and asked:
"How is your cousin better than you?"
"Slightly above my younger brother."
The fox spirit replied respectfully.
"Okay, this matter is up to you. Before 'that day' comes, I will not come here again, so please don't cause any trouble for me."
"Yes, big brother. Then I will give it to you."
Hearing this, the fox spirit was happy and stood up to see the three-eyed man away. Zhang Luoye and the two men who were lurking in the grass immediately squatted down, for fear of being discovered by the two of them.
After the three-eyed man left, the vixen returned and said to the servant:
¡°When my cousin comes over tomorrow, you can bring a bottle of good liquor.¡±
After saying this, the fox spirit turned and left, leaving only the servant in the courtyard.
Seeing this, the servant took off his clothes and lay down on a big stone. After a while, he fell into a deep sleep.
Under Zhang Luoye¡¯s instruction, Jia Yan approached the servant fox and found that the man was just like a human being, except that he had an extra fox tail.
To avoid disturbing the situation, the two secretly left.
Along the way, Zhang Luoye frowned. He felt that the matter might be more serious than he thought, but the information revealed by the two just now was too little to be used to judge the truth.
Zhang Luoye did not follow Jia Yan back to Jia's house. Instead, after explaining to him, he left alone.
Although Jia Yan was a little worried, it was hard for him to say anything since Zhang Luoye explained it like this.
The next day, the sun was shining brightly.
Early in the morning, Jia¡¯s father appeared at the house, but it turned out that he had just returned from doing business.
The servants of the Jia family hurriedly informed Jia's father about what happened to Jia's mother. The latter looked anxious and immediately went to visit his wife in his room.
But she didn¡¯t want Jia¡¯s mother to see Father Jia, just like seeing a stranger, and cursed at Father Jia. If she hadn¡¯t had the strength, she would have immediately pounced on Father Jia and bit him.
Of course, this is just a superficial hint. Zhang Luoye considered Jia Mu's safety and did not completely solve the vixen. This implies that he will not solve it easily.
