casket of old days

Chapter 45

Lao Hei glanced at the other party impatiently, and tried to bypass him with a step, but the man suddenly swung his hand, and quicklime sprinkled all over the sky, directly covering Lao Hei's face.

Although his sight was instantly deprived, his years of fighting experience still commanded Lao Hei to roar and bite forward, but he felt that a large pot of water was splashed on his face, and with the reaction of lime and water, he Covering his eyes with his paws, he kept screaming.

Chu Qiguang took a few steps back quickly, and shouted at Qiao Zhi on the wall: "Why are you standing there? Throw a stone at him."

'Hands are really black. Qiao Zhi murmured a few words inwardly, and his claws nimbly pinched the stone like human hands, and with the sound of breaking through the air, it directly hit the old Hei who fell to the ground and screamed.

Old Hei's aura on the ground became weaker and weaker, and the ups and downs of his chest gradually slowed down, only his nose was still twitching slightly.

"Cat smell?" He shouted full of resentment: "Is there a cat demon? Are you teaming up with humans to deal with monsters? You monster!"

Chu Qiguang didn't bother to answer the other party at all, but Qiao Zhi still couldn't help but said: "You are eating people, and if you don't kill you, other dog monsters will follow your example, and finally attract the Taoist temple, everyone will be unlucky."

"People can eat dogs, why can't dogs eat people?" He said weakly, "And why do you think I can eat people? People betrayed me first..."

"...they were the ones who betrayed first..."

The life of the black dog demon gradually dissipated, and the whole dog was gradually in a dying state, but he seemed to be stimulated by Qiao Zhi's words, and he still said unwillingly: "I was originally a hound of the Orion family on the mountain, and my parents were dog demons." , I have trained myself under the guidance of my parents since I was a child."

"I am getting stronger and smarter, and I help hunters kill more and more prey..."

But as the prefect of Beiyue Prefecture organized deforestation and land reclamation in the local area, the forests became less and less, and it became more and more difficult for them to hunt. In the end, they had to participate in land reclamation and started farming together.

Although the hunter is not good at farming, but the government promised not to pay taxes for the first three years of land reclamation, and the dog demon also helped to cultivate the land together, so the life was finally manageable.

But who would have thought that after changing a magistrate, the new magistrate joined forces with the local eunuchs to directly seize all the cultivated fields that had been opened up.

There is no hunting to hunt, no land to plant, and the life of hunters is getting worse and worse.

One day, Lao Hei found that his father was missing. He searched everywhere, but couldn't find his father's trace. He only remembered that the life of the hunter's family was much better during that time.

But as the family became poor again, Lao Hei found out that his master wanted to sell him to a butcher.

"...I bit them to death, because they betrayed me first." Hei murmured, "People who are not of my race... their hearts must be different... their hearts must be different..."

In the final murmur, the black dog died completely. Chu Qiguang went up to check it, and frowned and thought.

Qiao Zhi followed up with a complicated face, and when he saw Chu Qiguang who was frowning, he sighed, "You're also thinking about what he said just now, aren't you?"

"Ah?" Chu Qiguang was taken aback for a moment, in fact, he was just wondering if the meat of this dog monster could be eaten.

Qiao Zhi sighed: "I thought you would kill him directly, but unexpectedly let him finish his last words." He thought in his heart that Chu Qiguang still had intentions.

Chu Qiguang nodded. In fact, he just thought that instead of trying to kill the dog, it would be better to let the other party spend their last energy on the last words. Isn't there a saying that the villain dies because of talking too much?

However, he looked at Qiao Zhi with a sad face, patted his head wisely, and sighed: "It's not easy for this dog."

Qiao Zhi murmured: "As long as human beings continue to develop and expand, they will have irreconcilable conflicts with all kinds of monsters and monsters in the mountains, forests, grasslands, and seas."

"When I was in Wangjiazhuang, I always told my subordinates to hide away from humans and stay away from the village.

But just like the time Taoist Qingling came to kill me on the back mountain, even if I have been leading the demon clan to retreat.But the territory of human beings is always expanding every year, and one day we will be unable to retreat, what should we do. "

Chu Qiguang patted Qiao Zhi on the head, and said slowly: "The primitive life in the mountains and forests has no future. If you don't change, you will only be eliminated by the world."

Qiao Zhi asked, "Then how should it be changed?"

Chu Qiguang returned: "Integrate into it and become an indispensable part of the whole society. For example, starting from farming for my family."

After finishing speaking, Chu Qiguang had already picked up Lao Hei's body.

"Is there such a profound meaning in farming for Chu Qiguang's family?"

Qiao Zhi stood there in a daze for a moment, recalling what Chu Qiguang said just now, and suddenly said happily: "Let us monsters become an indispensable part? Chu Qiguang seems to have changed a bit, is it influenced by me?"

"Lao Tzu may have changed the history of the world unintentionally."

Qiao Zhi jumped up and walked up, circling back and forth around Chu Qiguang, rubbing against his calf non-stop.

Chu Qiguang pushed the opponent away with one foot: "Don't rub it, it's all cat hair, my clothes cost a tael of silver."

Even though he was pushed away, Qiao Zhi was still smiling in his heart: "It's not just about changing the world... Maybe I saved the whole world, everyone should thank me."

Finally, Chu Qiguang couldn't help but asked: "The blood of this dog demon... If it is used for Chen Gang, it should be able to give him another chance to perform the foundation building of the sky demon, right?"

……

Chu Qiguang hugged Lao Hei's body, and brought Qiao Zhi to the ruined temple again.

The dog demons who had fled before had already sensed that something was wrong, and it seemed that no Taoist priests chased them down, so after walking around, they all ran back one after another.

When they saw Chu Qiguang walking into the abandoned temple with Lao Hei's body in his arms, they all pretended to be ordinary wild dogs, and looked at Chu Qiguang full of hostility and guard.

Chu Qiguang looked at them and said: "Your king was killed by a Taoist priest from Qingyang Temple. He found me with his last breath, but unfortunately I couldn't save him."

The dogs became commotion in an instant, and a dog demon shouted: "Who killed the king?"

Chu Qiguang said solemnly: "It's Taoist Qingling of Qingyang Temple." He looked up to the sky, sighed sadly: "Brother Hei has had a hard life in this life."

"He was originally the loyal hound of the Orion family. Unexpectedly, the world was unfair. The government opened up mountains and deforestation to let the Orion open up wasteland. Afterwards, he robbed them of their land. The Orion family couldn't survive, so they wanted to sell Lao Hei to the butcher. "

"Brother Hei had no choice but to resist desperately, and finally fled to the county town, and survived."

Accompanied by Chu Qiguang's narration, the dog monsters around all unconsciously pricked up their ears. Although most of them had heard the rumor, this was the first time they had heard the story of Lao Hei in detail.

And a white dog and a black-backed dog showed surprise on their faces. The white dog's name was Baipi, and the black-backed dog's name was Heibei.

They were surprised because they had heard Lao Hei tell this story, but they couldn't imagine that a person could also know this story, or this guy was not human...
