Those years when I hunted demons in Dali Temple

Chapter 882 Auspicious Beasts and Fierce Beasts

Daoyi: "Red Fox, the agreement between you and me is that no matter what the outcome of the Great Zhou soldiers and the Five Characters soldiers led by you is, we will not take action. I don't think I have violated any agreement. As for the ferocious beast you mentioned..."

She smiled and continued, "Xiao Tiangan is just a friend of mine. He came to visit me and help me a little. What's wrong with that?"

Red Fox: “.” Is this just a small favor?
Because of the arrival of this ferocious beast, the situation in Dongdu City is likely to develop in an uncontrollable direction.

Red Fox: "What's going on with this nine-tailed fox?"

Daoyi spread his hands, with a cunning look on his face, "They didn't make a contract with me. If they like to enjoy the wind and frost under the city wall, it's not something I can stop them from doing."

Chihu told himself not to be angry. Even if he couldn't take Dongdu, delaying their time would be of the same benefit as long as his second brother and the others completed the mission. However, he still looked unwillingly at the King of Qin who was standing on the city wall with a noble aura.

It seems that this prince, with his purple aura and great fortune, is destined to die in Dongdu.

"Hmph, let's see who will win!" The red fox snorted unwillingly.

Daoyi saw that although he spoke harshly, there was no urgency in his eyes. He pondered over the words of the King of Qin and guessed the real purpose of the Red Fox. At the same time, he perfunctorily replied to the Red Fox, "Your Excellency is right. Everything depends on their own means."

The red fox flicked his long sleeves, and when he passed by Yang Tiangan and Jiu Niang, his face was darker than the night.

Damn the Taotie clan. He let go of the remnants of the Taotie clan just for fun. He didn't expect that this little cub would awaken his bloodline. Although his cultivation is not as good as his, he has a tendency to suppress him.

This is not a good sign.

When he saw Jiu Niang on the side, he became even more angry and threw a green ball of light directly at it.

Yang Tiangan twisted his huge body to block the attack mixed with spiritual power for Jiu Niang.

The red fox's attack was relatively gentle, but when he saw that the two subordinates were not hurt at all, he became even more upset. When he returned to the camp, he didn't even play his favorite tormenting game. Instead, his hands turned into sharp claws and he tore the two guarding subordinates to pieces with his bare hands. Only then did he feel somewhat calmer.

His figure was no longer visible, and everyone guarding the city wall breathed a sigh of relief.

King Qin walked over with a tired look on his face. "The temperament of the fierce beast that Red Fox mentioned is different from what is recorded in ancient books. I just don't know if it is the Taotie, one of the four legendary fierce beasts."

Although he was asking about Dao Yi, the King of Qin's words were very certain.

Some of the things recorded in ancient books, for some unspeakable reasons, are mixed with true and false, making it difficult for later generations to distinguish the true from the false. But some essential things do not need to be false, such as the appearance of mythical beasts, fierce beasts, auspicious beasts, etc., which are real and have been passed down.

Daoyi didn't know what book the King of Qin learned this from, but based on her understanding during her time researching minerals in Chang'an, even if aristocratic families had many treasures and rare books, they could not display all of them, and the imperial palace was the most open "collector", so it was normal for the King of Qin to know some secrets that others didn't know.

It is recorded in the Book of Hundred Demons that on the Gouwu Mountain there is a beast that looks like a sheep, has a body of an ox, a human face, eyes under its armpits, tiger teeth and human claws, and sounds like a baby. It is called the 狍鸮 and it eats people. The 狍鸮 is also known as the 襕饕.

Taotie has a remarkable characteristic, which is its ability to eat. There are many legends about it, the most ridiculous of which is that due to its gluttony, it once ate its own body, leaving only a head and a mouth that can eat.

There are other records that say Taotie has a body like an ox, a human face, eyes under its armpits, and is a man-eater.

Daoyi is not sure why there are different records, what the predecessors encountered when they recorded it. But it has eyes under the armpits, a human face, and also likes to eat people, which is definitely the same feature of Taotie.

Yang Tiangan completely revealed his true form tonight, which was exactly the same as what was recorded in the Book of Hundred Demons. Since Yang Tiangan appeared in his original form, this was inevitable.

She confirmed the King of Qin's words from the positive side, "Little Tiangan is indeed a glutton, but it is different from what is recorded in ancient books. Its bloodline is not pure, because there is human blood in its body, so it is not like the ancient books, who are greedy."

Daoyi kept silent about the matter of Yang Tiangan and Zhou Jiyue.

The Sheep Heavenly Stem is a vicious beast which is feared by people. If there is another biological father who is in collusion with the 'Five Character Tribe', I am afraid the court will become more suspicious. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is better to keep it if possible.

King Qin glanced sideways. He didn't expect that a pair of ferocious beasts would be so concerned.

What I just said was to tell him that Yang Tiangan would not eat people indiscriminately as described in ancient books.

But why has Wang Xuanzhi not won the heart of a beautiful woman, and has not achieved a happy ending with Daoyi after several years in Beijing? His children can run and jump. Could it be that the rumors in Beijing are that Wang Xuanzhi can stay with a missing fiancée not because he kept his promise, but because...
The King of Qin fell into deep doubt. The cold ice and snow slapped his face, awakening him from this strange idea.

He coughed lightly, "Thank you, Madam Second, what you said is very true. I see that it is very close to you, and it is guarding the gate of my East Capital, so I will not doubt it anymore. Thank you for your hard work tonight."

After saying that, he went to find the nearest house and fell asleep.

His last thought before falling asleep was that he must have not slept recently, so his mind was full of messy thoughts. A good night's sleep would make everything better.

As soon as the King of Qin left, Chen Yizhi, who had been visiting the wounded and counting the baggage, came up. Regarding the matter of Yang Tiangan, the other party had briefly mentioned it in his previous correspondence with Wang Xuanzhi, but he did not expect that it was of such a great significance.

He then turned his gaze to the other Jiu Niang, who almost blended into the snow.

To be honest, Jiu Niang's initial acquaintance with them was not a pleasant one. After all, her silly brother was almost used as a scapegoat.

Chen Yizhi sympathized with Jiu Niang's situation, but he always kept the incident in mind and always kept his distance from Jiu Niang.

So, when he asked Jiu Niang whether she was a vicious beast, Daoyi was quite surprised.

She shook her head at Chen Yizhi, "No, you are wrong, Jiu Niang is a lucky animal."

Chen Yizhi really wanted to scratch his ears, as he suspected that he had heard it wrongly.

Judging from the way Jiu Niang killed people and framed others, she doesn't look like a lucky animal at all.

Perhaps his suspicious look was too obvious, so Daoyi explained to him, "In short, the nine-tailed fox is regarded as a lucky animal, symbolizing good luck and prosperity of offspring, and their tribe also has its own mystery and seductive skills."

“But it.”

"Well, our powerful General Chen, you have time to think about these things. You might as well take a rest. Xiao Tiangan and Jiu Niang are here. They will not act rashly tonight. But what other tricks will the Five Characters have next? A weak general cannot deal with them."
