Chapter 722

"My lord, spare me!" Zhuang Zhuang suddenly grew bigger, picked up the national teacher and walked out.The national teacher was so frightened that his black face turned pale, and he tried his best to beg Zhuang Zhuang for mercy.The Qian family was dumbfounded. Are all national teachers so cowardly?Her house is dedicated to adults, and it is very beautiful. The little milk dog, no, it is a big dog now, and it looks very docile.Then, they came to a conclusion that Master Guoshi is afraid of dogs.

This word was spread to ten, ten to a hundred, and before midnight, the rumors that the national teacher was afraid of were known all over the world.Afterwards, all the dogs doubled in value and became sought-after goods. Even stray dogs were invited back to their homes and became treasures of town houses.

Fang Xiao sat in the vast National Teacher's Mansion, Zhuang Zhuang stared at the blood stains on the ground that hadn't been cleaned up in a hurry, with unkind eyes.The national teacher was shaking like a sieve, but at this moment, his stomach growled uncontrollably.The national teacher's eyes suddenly became extremely fierce, and his figure soared several times, turning into a black bear, and slapped Fang Xiao with his palm.It didn't dare to hit Zhuangzhuang, it only dared to attack Fang Xiao, and Fang Xiao was obviously blind with gauze covering his eyes.So, he chose Fang Xiao, a soft persimmon, to pinch.

Fang Xiao didn't move, Zhuang Zhuang kicked his hind legs and swooped, directly throwing the black bear to the ground, Zhuang Zhuang bit the black bear's neck all at once.The black bear twisted its body and greeted Zhuang Zhuang with all four paws.Zhuang Zhuang bit his neck, and kept stepping on the black bear's belly with all four feet. The black bear's paws suddenly drooped weakly, and blood came out from the corner of its mouth.Fang Xiao reached out and pressed the black bear's forehead, pulling out a transparent black bear soul body.The black bear soul body turned around and ran away in fright, Fang Xiao quickly drew a rune and printed it on the black bear soul body.The black bear seemed to be covered in a transparent cover, and it couldn't get out no matter what.Only then did it realize how powerful Fang Xiao was, he was able to hold its soul and prevent it from warning other monsters.

"You, you are not an ordinary offering, but why is your breath so weak?" the black bear soul asked.

"Why do you want to eat people?" Fang Xiao asked without answering.

"I'm hungry!" The black bear replied as a matter of course.

"Oh!" Fang Xiao nodded.Oh what the hell?The black bear soul body widened its eyes, and saw a ball of purple fire burning in Fang Xiao's palm, which turned out to be the red lotus karmic fire, a karmic fire dedicated to burning souls.The black bear trembled all over: "Don't kill me, I say, I say everything."

Fang Xiao bowed his head, she didn't ask anything, but the black bear said everything.But what question did she want to ask?Just when Fang Xiao was still thinking about where to ask, he only heard the black bear shout loudly: "This year it is the turn of the bear country, the wolf country, and the ape country to become hunting grounds, and we don't want to let other monsters come here to hunt. I still don't have enough to eat...uh," Seeing Fang Xiao's terrifying expression, the black bear's soul and body were about to shake.

"Go on!" Fang Xiao said coldly.

"Well, in order to save some delicious meat for the Xiong Kingdom, we decided to use the emperor to collect the most potential girls in the country into the capital. After the hunting is over, we will put them back. Xiong Guo can recover quickly." Hei Xiong whispered more and more, because Fang Xiao's face became more and more ugly.

"What is hunting?" Fang Xiao asked.

"In our demon world, demons should be the main ones, and humans are just, no, no, no, humans are also pretty good." Seeing Fang Xiao suddenly took off the blindfold and opened those sword pupils, the soul of the black bear was so frightened that it cried. Only then did I know why Fang Xiao had to cover his eyes with a cloth. Can these be considered human eyes?Even monsters don't have such scary eyes.

"You humans are multiplying too fast here. In order to control your number, we have no choice but to discuss with the big monster races. Every 50 years, we choose the border of the Three Kingdoms as a hunting ground and clean up the humans inside. Controlling the number of human beings will not affect the survival of the monster race." Hei Xiong closed his eyes, but still told the biggest secret.

"Why can't the humans here be able to practice normally. Where did the Hualing River come from?" Fang Xiao narrowed his eyes and asked.

"The river, that river is there. It is only effective for humans, not for monsters. That's why our monster race has developed in this demon world. If humans want to practice, they must eat a kind of spiritual grass to stimulate Only by cultivating the animal nature of human beings can we cultivate. This is also the means by which we control those offerings."

"What spirit grass?" Fang Xiao asked.

"Uh, it's the spiritual grass watered by the blood of monsters. Monsters can't eat this kind of spiritual grass, but it can make humans grow spiritual roots. Although most of them are five spiritual roots, it's better than no spiritual roots." powerful."

Fang Xiao's heart moved, and he turned his hand and took out a grass with mud: "Is it such a spiritual grass?"

"Yes, it's just that the spiritual grass must be watered by the blood of monsters above the third rank, so that such spiritual grass can grow."

"What rank are you?"

"I only have level six."

"Can sixth-order monsters be able to speak?"

"I only spoke after eating the Spirit Zengcao by mistake."

"Are there any books that record the development of the demon world?" Fang Xiao had to learn more about the demon world.

"Some, some, in the palace. It was recorded by you humans yourself."

"Zhuang Zhuang, go and get those books that record the history of the demon world, I want to read it." Zhuang Zhuang nodded, took his little brother, and rushed to the palace.

After a while, Zhuang Zhuang returned to the National Teacher's Mansion with a huge burden on his back.The younger brothers behind it also carried a big burden, threw the burden into the National Teacher's Mansion, and ran out.Fang Xiao stared at the books piled up in the backyard of the National Teacher's Mansion, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said, "So many books, Zhuang Zhuang, have you emptied the Imperial Study Room?"

Zhuang Zhuang shook his tail and said via voice transmission: "How do you know?"

Fang Xiao's face darkened, that is to say, Zhuang Zhuang brought all the books here, so when will she find the books she needs.So, she said to the black bear soul body: "Black bear, find the book for me, and I won't burn you with karma."

The black bear had a bitter face and shrank its neck: "I can't read!"

Fang Xiao stared: "You are illiterate and still say there are records in the palace?"

"The emperor of Xiong Kingdom said it himself, he dare not lie to me." The black bear soul said quickly.

"Forget it, you'd better go die." Fang Xiao burned it with a karmic fire.

"Liar, didn't you say you don't need to burn me with karma? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" the black bear's soul was burned cleanly.

"Oh, that's because you don't study much, and you haven't heard the words of a saint. Only girls and villains are hard to raise. Unfortunately, I have both." Fang Xiao clapped his hands, and wiped away the non-existent ashes.

Looking at the books piled up randomly, Fang Xiao had a new idea in his heart, he must teach Zhuang Zhuang how to read, so that next time, no, no, there will be no next time.

Fang Xiao looked down at the books at his feet, and suddenly felt a toothache, because she didn't know the words on these books.During the three years at the Qian family, she hadn't read a single book.Even if you read it, it is Qian Mingzhu's picture book.There are no words on it at all.Well now, she realized that she was also illiterate.Originally, she thought that this world also used the common characters of the cultivation world, but she didn't expect that they were symbols that she had never seen before.Those ghost-painted talismans are comparable to the various runes drawn by Taoist priests on the earth.Wait, runes.Fang Xiao picked up a book and flipped through it.The more you look at it, the more the corners of your mouth twitch.If it was said that these things were not made by monks, she would not believe it.One more stroke, one less stroke, and a turn-around behavioral artistic word, what else could it be if it wasn't evolved from traditional Chinese characters.This is an uneducated guy. When he was studying at the beginning, he must have been careless. Look at this series of typos, plus the unique technique of Taoist priests when drawing symbols.What's even more outrageous is that these characters must not have the same meaning as the characters she learned on Earth, because she can basically recognize them separately, but when they are combined, they are comparable to heavenly scriptures.Fang Xiao really wanted to dig out the people who wrote these books and beat them up.

Looking at the corners of Fang Xiao's twitching eyes, Zhuang Zhuang took two steps back, then two more steps, turned around and ran into the depths of the forest, disappearing without a trace.Fang Xiao put away the heavenly books with a wave, turned around and went back to the inn.

Before dawn, Steward Qian Er just opened his eyes when he saw a small figure sitting in his room. He sat up from the bed in fright.With a wave of Fang Xiao's hand, she lit the candles in the room, and she threw a few books to Butler Qian Er: "Do you know the characters in this book?"

Steward Qian Er tremblingly picked up those books, flipped through them, nodded and said, "I know, I know, I know everything."

"Oh, then read it to me." Fang Xiao said naturally.

Butler Qian Er's eyes widened immediately. This little ancestor came here early in the morning and scared himself to death, just to let him read to her?It was just so, so, so depressing.

"Well, Mrs. Fairy, I still have to lead the lady into the palace to go through the formalities today. Can I read this book to you after I come back?"

"Ah, there's still this matter, I have to go back to wash up." Fang Xiao patted his forehead lightly, and with a gesture of his hand, he took the book back, turned around and went back to his room.Steward Qian Er was a little confused by Fang Xiao's actions. He also patted himself on the forehead, got up quickly, put on new clothes, and summoned the servants to get up and do things quickly.

Fang Xiao sat at the dining table, sipping rice porridge.Qian Mingzhu and Tong Tong were also sitting around her, sipping breakfast.Steward Qian Er hurried in, seeing that the three masters hadn't finished eating, he urged: "Someone is coming from the palace, hurry up."

Fang Xiao put down the small bowl in his hand, wiped the corner of his mouth, and said, "I'm done eating, how about you?"

Tongtong also put down the bowl in his hand, wiped the corners of his mouth gracefully, nodded and said, "I'm done eating too." Seeing this, Qian Mingzhu quickly stuffed a bun into her mouth, then grabbed two more buns with her left hand, Holding a plate of side dishes in his right hand, he nodded at Fang Xiao, stood up first, and walked out.

"Little ancestor, sit down and eat before leaving." Butler Qian Er was about to cry.Since my young lady came out, no one restrained her, and she didn't stop even for a meal.

Qian Mingzhu stretched her neck and swallowed the steamed stuffed bun in her mouth, and then said: "Didn't you say that someone is coming from the palace? Don't make people wait too long. I can eat it on the way." After finishing speaking, she got into the car behind sat in.

Butler Qian Er patted his thigh, sighed and invited Tongtong into the carriage in front, Fang Xiao smelled the smell of steamed stuffed buns in the carriage, opened the curtain of the carriage, and sat down by the window.

"Fairy, if...you succeed in staying this time, you can accept me as your apprentice after we go back." Qian Mingzhu knew how to measure, and didn't directly mention Tongtong's name, for fear that the wall might have ears.

"Let's talk about it when we go back." Fang Xiao closed his eyes, neither agreeing nor refusing.

"It's the same sentence every time." Qian Mingzhu stuffed the last bun into her mouth dissatisfied, her cheeks bulging like a little squirrel.

"Whose beauty is this?" A teasing voice came from outside.Qian Mingzhu looked over, and saw a young man riding on a horse, unexpectedly let the horse slow down, and followed beside the carriage, staring at Qian Mingzhu's face with wicked eyes.

After Qian Mingzhu finished eating the steamed stuffed bun, she picked up the side dish and quickly put it in her mouth.After swallowing everything, seeing the man still following the carriage, he rolled his eyes: "Where did you come from, you can see clearly, this is the selection team for entering the palace, follow if you want to die!"

"Hehe, I'm so scared!" Unexpectedly, the young man smiled instead of anger, and waved his hands. The carriage stopped just like that. Sitting next to Qian Mingzhu, opposite Fang Xiao.

Qian Mingzhu jumped up, sat next to Fang Xiao immediately, and shouted to the outside: "Second Uncle, Second Uncle, why did this man get into our carriage? He's not talking about the rules." Qian who was walking in front The second steward, hearing Qian Mingzhu's cry, realized that Fang Xiao's carriage was surrounded by a group of people and stopped on the side of the road.

Steward Qian Er's head suddenly became dizzy, he hurriedly stopped Tongtong's carriage, trotted over by himself, and cupped his hands at the people surrounding Fang Xiao's carriage: "Several brothers, we are going to send people into the palace for a draft This is the summoning letter, please do your best, let us go there." Steward Qian Er took out the money bag from his bosom, poured out the broken silver, stuffed it into the hands of the soldiers surrounding the carriage, and sent the summoning letter Take it out and ask them to have a look.

The soldiers said with a half-smile: "We know that you are going to the draft. Didn't we stop the carriage of the show girl in front of you? You just go."

Steward Qian Er's face became even more bitter: "But, what you are blocking is the carriage frame enshrined by my family."

The faces of the soldiers changed at the same time, and they turned their heads to look at the carriage. Inside, except for the little girl yelling at the beginning, there was no other movement for a long time, which is not normal.They drew out their knives, and the leader of the soldiers knocked on the car door with the knife, only to see the young man just pushed open the car door, his eyes were full of fear, but he said softly: "Get out of here."

Looking at the eyes that begged for help, the soldiers knew that something was wrong.Fang Xiao put down his teacup and said, "I still have to catch up with the time."

The fear in the young man's eyes was even worse, but he nodded: "Didn't you hear that, the fairy is going to escort the girl from the Qian family into the palace, so hurry up and get out of the way."

The soldiers heard this, no matter how they heard it, they didn't feel right.The leading soldier stepped forward and stretched out his hand, wanting to help his master get out of the carriage. Unexpectedly, the young man suddenly retreated into the carriage and shouted loudly, "Get out of the way."

The soldiers glanced at each other, made way, and followed the convoy silently, as if they were protecting the convoy, and followed the convoy slowly forward.

With two streets left before the gate of the palace, the convoy stopped.Fang Xiao glanced forward, and there was already a long queue in front of him.Fang Xiao looked at the young man sitting opposite, and asked, "What kind of demon are you?"

"I, I'm not a demon." The young man answered with a trembling voice.

"Your nasty smell almost blocked my nose, and you still say you are not a demon?" Fang Xiao patted the small table in front of him, and the tea set on the small table jumped up, gently fall.The young man's pupils shrank, and he looked at Fang Xiao, even more frightened.

"I'm not a bear clan, I, I'm a fox clan." The young man replied in a low voice.

"Such an ugly fox is rare." Fang Xiao raised his eyebrows and said.

"How ugly am I?" The young man raised his head all of a sudden, but under Fang Xiao's pressure, he quickly fell to the ground again.In the car, a silver light flashed, and a small puppy squatted on Fang Xiao's shoulder.The young man's eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes wandered back and forth between Fang Xiao and the little milk dog. He suddenly pointed to the little milk dog and said, "So you are its mother. You are dogs, no wonder your nose is so good."

The corners of Fang Xiao's brows twitched, and he couldn't hold back any longer. He slapped him and said, "You are the dog family, and your whole family is the dog family."

The young man was so beaten up by Fang Xiao that he couldn't lift his head, but he still replied aggrievedly: "I've already said it, it's from the fox clan."

"How dare you talk back!" Fang Xiao slapped a few more times, then withdrew his hand, shaking the fox fur on his hand, the smell is really strong.

Who knows, Fang Xiao withdrew his hand, and the little milk dog on her shoulders became aggressive again, and Zhuang Zhuang leaped up to the head of the young man opposite him, with four paws facing the young man's head for a while, and the young man was immediately scratched With disheveled hair and bleeding from his head, Zhuang Zhuang let out a dissatisfied groan.The young man was surprised, "Listen to your barking, isn't it a dog or a wolf? Ahhh, don't scratch! I was wrong, I was wrong, you are not a dog, you are a wolf!" The young man was rubbed again by Zhuang Zhuang, and with a click, a layer of skin was rubbed off from under the young man's face.

The young man's long and curved eyes were revealed in front of the two people and the dog.Zhuang Zhuang scratched a few blood marks on that tender, snow-white cheek, which did not affect the beauty of the fox man in front of him at all.

Fang Xiao reached out to pick up the mask that fell on the ground, and squeezed it with his hands. It was soft and elastic, obviously made of human skin.Fang Xiao's face was as cold as ice, and he looked at the young man coldly.The young man reached out and swept Zhuang Zhuang off his head indifferently, and said, "Don't pretend, everyone is here to participate in the hunting. It's just that I came to the capital first to occupy a favorable position. Don't you also have the same idea? Otherwise, how could you be mixed in the draft team. However, I can warn you, this show girl is the seedling left by Xiong Guozhu, you can't play the show girl's idea, it will break the rules of our hunting game Besieged by all the monster clans. Well, I won’t play with you anymore, I’m going to find my own hunting ground. Goodbye!”

"Do I agree with you leaving?" Fang Xiao said quietly.

"What else do you want? I can tell you that our races are different, and I will not agree to you. Besides, I don't like wolves." The young man glanced at the human skin mask Fang Xiao was holding tightly in his hand, and laughed Say: "If you like that mask, I will give it to you. You are welcome!"

Fang Xiao flipped her hands and slapped the fox man to the ground. She tore off the gauze covering her eyes and opened her eyes. A pair of sword-like pupils pierced straight into the fox man's crotch. in the eyes.The fox man covered his eyes, unable to make a sound from the pain.He was trembling all over, hugging his head, curled up in the carriage.Fang Xiao covered his eyes with gauze again.Sitting back to the original position, he said, "Zhuang Zhuang, control it, wait a minute, I have something to ask him."

Zhuang Zhuang let out a bark, and then the fox man let go of his hand holding his head.A pair of eyes also turned red, he looked at Fang Xiao, then at the little milk dog squatting on Fang Xiao's shoulders, he knelt down with a hard plop, and shouted: "Master!"

A series of changes came too fast, Qian Mingzhu was dumbfounded, and when the fox man was prostrate on the ground, obeying Fang Xiao, she closed her wide-open mouth, and her brain started to work quickly. Pulling Fang Xiao's sleeve, he said, "What hunting? What are you talking about? Does it have anything to do with the draft?"

Seeing Fang Xiao nodding slightly, the fox man straightened up and said, "Hunting is a grand gathering of the monster race every 50 years. We will select an area under the jurisdiction of the race and send out the descendants of the monster race to hunt and kill the selected area." All human beings in the area. However, the royal family that governs the area can have a quota of 500 people. These 500 people will stay in the palace during the hunting period until the hunting game is over. This process generally does not take too long , it will end in at most three months. At that time, the human beings who are lucky enough to survive will be able to reproduce again. And the people who survived the royal family will be the largest group, so their dominance will not change. There won't be enough hunting humans left in the area until the next hunt."

"When will the hunting start?" Qian Mingzhu jumped up anxiously, her brother was still at home.

"There is still one month. We will leave a time for the royal family. After one month, the hunting activities will begin." The fox man said.

"Fairy, let's go back. Brother and the others are still waiting at home. I want to go back and save him." Qian Mingzhu looked at Fang Xiao.

"No hurry." Fang Xiao then asked: "How many monsters are participating in the hunting, and where did they enter the territory of Xiong Country?"

"But all the monster clans that have not cultivated the demon core will participate. And each clan will send one or two big demons who have cultivated the demon core to protect their juniors and ensure that when they are hunting, they will not They were massacred by other demon clans."

"How many monster races have participated in hunting in previous years?"

"There is really no way to count it. I only know that there are at least [-] guardians sent every year."

"Are you a Taoist too?" Fang Xiao asked suddenly.

"Yes, I just cultivated the demon pill this year."

"Aren't you monster races fighting for prey?"

"Of course it will. After all, there are many descendants of the monster race, but the number of prey in the hunting ground is limited. That's why we sent out these guardians to protect our family in time when the juniors meet other masters of the monster race. Junior."

"Where is your fox clan's hunting ground this year?"

"It's in the capital city. I was lucky this year and got a good lottery."

"You fox clan, how many guardians have you sent?"

"Besides me, there is Hu Jiu. He guards the emperor in the palace and prevents him from getting more people into the palace to hide."

"You can go to hell." Fang Xiao twisted his neck with a snap.In the fox man's eyes, his eyes lost their luster. A row of small golden needles flew out of the man's head, bringing out a red bead.Fang Xiao had already injected the golden needle he had refined into the man's upper dantian. While taking away his demon pill, he also disturbed its soul, and didn't even give it a chance to reincarnate.

"Fairy, you must save my brother. Tongtong will be safe in the palace, let's go back." Qian Mingzhu didn't ask herself to hide in the palace, but wanted to pull Fang Xiao back to save her brother.

Fang Xiao patted Qian Mingzhu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you can't hide such a thing from the dignitaries in the capital. Since I'm here, let's kill the foxes in the capital first."

"But where are they, we don't have time to find them out one by one." Qian Mingzhu said anxiously.

"Don't worry, as long as we get rid of the big monsters leading them, the remaining little monsters, as long as they are mortals with better skills, can handle them. At that time, we will be in a hurry to rush back."

"Ah, we forgot to ask it the name of the big monster in the palace, is it a man or a woman, and which palace does it live in? Fairy, you are too quick to start." Qian Mingzhu suddenly remembered that they even the fox clan I didn't ask what it looked like, where to go to find the fox demon.

"There is Zhuang Zhuang, no problem." Fang Xiao didn't want to explain, Zhuang Zhuang can smell the blood of the monster clan, no matter where it hides or what it looks like, as long as it is from the fox clan, it can't escape.

The carriage stopped and went during Fang Xiao's interrogation. At this time, the curtain was opened, and Qian Er Butler said from outside the carriage, "General Liu Xiao, please get out of the carriage and talk."

"Stop screaming, their Little General Liu has already been eaten." Fang Xiao waved his hand, sweeping away the mask and the dead fox.The crowd outside panicked.The soldiers were startled when they saw the dead fox's body and the human skin mask. They all pulled out their knives from their waists and pointed them at Steward Qian Er and the carriage.

"If I were you, I would hurry back to Liu's residence and report this matter to Liu's residence." Fang Xiao said quietly.Following her words, the knives drawn by the soldiers shattered into powder little by little.The leading soldier turned his horse's head, led his team, and ran away.

Steward Qian Er wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, opened the curtain, and asked Qian Mingzhu and Fang Xiao to get out of the carriage.

In front, Tongtong had already reached the gate of the palace under the support of Qian's servants.The other steward handed over the calling letter and identity disk to the soldiers guarding the door.The commotion in the back caused the guards to turn their heads to look this way. They only saw a group of guards from General Liu's house, and they ran away on horseback. They didn't pay much attention.After verifying his identity, only Tongtong was allowed to enter the palace.The others, whether they were maids or mother-in-law, were stopped outside the palace.

After a while, a group of servants from the Qian family ran over, and the steward said, "Second butler, the palace only allows young ladies to enter the palace, not even a personal palace daughter. This is too strange."

"Our house is the same. Only the young lady is allowed to enter alone." Another man in charge came over, cupped his hands and said, "Hello, I am Jinyin, the chief steward of Yingjiabao. Our family's situation is the same as yours. Excuse me, do you know what's going on?"

Butler Qian Er, his head was on the edge at this moment. Anyway, the one who went in was not his real lady. How to deal with it later was still up to Tong Tong herself.However, Steward Qian Er was also very puzzled about the fact that only one person was allowed to enter the palace. He cupped his hands and said, "Qian Er of the Qian family in Ancheng. I just came here last night. I don't know the specifics yet."

At this time, the stewards of two other families came over, and when everyone met, the situation turned out to be the same.They only allowed their own young lady to enter the palace alone, everyone was a little confused, so they split up and went around to inquire about the situation.

Regarding this matter, Fang Xiao and Qian Mingzhu are clear, but now they are not allowed to bring people into the palace, so how they can find the fox demon hiding in the palace becomes a problem.

"What should we do?" Qian Mingzhu asked.

"What should we do?" Butler Qian Er also asked.They are asking the same question, but not the same thing.Qian Mingzhu was asking them how to enter the palace to catch the demon, and Qian Er's steward was asking whether they should fight until they return home or wait.

Fang Xiao said: "Go back to the inn first."
