Spring River Flower Moon Night: Set of 2 Volumes

Chapter 18: No Demon City (2)
"The poor Taoist is the Taoist of Qingyun Temple, whose Taoist name is Ziyang. I learned that the two of you came here last night, and I was far away from welcoming you. Please move to the humble house to talk about it." He cupped his hands and greeted them with a very humble gesture.

Wang Zijin couldn't help but turn pale with shock, he thought that the Taoist priest must be an old man, but he was so young.

Fei Xiao glanced at him, and burst out laughing, "It's really funny to refuse to accept old age at such an old age."

Ziyang was very angry when he heard this, even his upright and handsome facial features twitched and twisted, he said anxiously: "You, you fox, don't talk nonsense!"

"Hey, who said I'm a fox? Turn me into a fox if you have the ability." Fei Xiao stroked her black hair and teased triumphantly.

"Looking at how long you've been practicing, I won't break your cultivation, leave Dufeng City quickly, and don't cause trouble."

"What a big tone, what if I insist on causing trouble?"

Ziyang didn't want to quarrel with him, so he walked away, "Don't blame me for being rude!"

Several little Taoist priests hurriedly followed Ziyang's footsteps, and the group disappeared in the busy city in a blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Wang Zijin secretly heaved a sigh of relief, finally, Fei Xiao did not cause any trouble.

"Strange!" Fei Xiao waved her folding fan, her sword eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she looked very puzzled.

"What's so strange?" Wang Zijin saw that Ziyang was majestic, not like ordinary people, but indeed had the demeanor of a fairy.

"The strange thing is that this Ziyang doesn't seem to have the ability to fill a city with a barrier..."

"Hey, who created the enchantment then?"

Fei Xiao tilted her head in thought, but murmured: "Could it be the technique of the barrel well? Probably not, no one would be so stupid."

"Eh? Tonk Well? What does that mean?" It was the first time Wang Zijin heard such a term.

"Maybe I was worrying too much. Look at the crowds over there. Let's go watch the excitement."

The prince went in and saw that there were indeed many people gathered under a building in front of him. He always liked to join in the fun, so he hurriedly dragged Fei Xiao over.

I saw that the downstairs of the three-storey building was crowded with crowds, making it hard to get close to. The decoration on the terrace was gorgeous, and there were red silk and satin hanging on the eaves, as if some wealthy family was having a wedding.

"Oh my, I thought there was something nice about it. It turned out that it was just a rich man showing off his luxury. It's a good building, and it just looks like a new house." Wang Zijin was very disappointed, and he pulled Fei Hong to leave.

A person next to him continued: "Isn't it a new house? The daughter of Zhang Qianfu, the richest man in the area, is about to throw a hydrangea ball to recruit relatives."

After hearing the word "recruiting relatives", Wang Zijin retracted the foot he was about to take, "Let's take a look."

After a while, a girl with the appearance of a maid came out from the balcony, took out a piece of red paper, and read aloud: "The people who catch the hydrangea below are listening: those who are over 35 years old, please stand outside the line."

When she said this, Wang Zijin realized that there was really more than one green silk thread on the ground, which was extremely extravagant.

Some of the spectators shook their heads and left, and then the maid said: "Those who are already engaged, please go offline."

This time, several people shook their heads and walked out.

"Right now, those who have thousands of hectares of land or have official positions are invited to stand in the first line." Two fat young men with big ears hurriedly stood in the first row. They were very similar in figure, except that one was black and the other was white. When they met each other, they all stared at each other, looking very hostile.

Then the maid said again: "Scholars and students, please stand in the second line."

Wang Zijin was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly pulled Feixiao to stand over, but the space inside the line was very narrow, sometimes you pushed me, I pushed you, crowded and crowded.

Wang Zijin's heart couldn't help but feel cold, it turns out that there are so many people like him, he hurriedly said to Feihong: "Feixiao, you don't want to get married, you should go out."

I thought to myself: Squeeze out one by one!
Fei Xiao didn't even look at him, "If I leave, who will help you pick up the hydrangea?"

Wang Zijin was immediately overjoyed, yes, there are only a hundred people, even if there are tens of thousands of people, this hydrangea is still in his pocket, he feels relieved now, looking at the people around him who are getting red-faced and red-faced, he doesn't think it's funny .

Then, according to the order of the maidservant, a group of civilians and hooligans stood in the third line. Those people were even more lively, and they were about to start fighting before they stood still.

Then I heard the little servant girl say crisply: "The auspicious time has come, I invite my wife."

I saw two maidservants upstairs helping a girl wearing a red hijab to come out. When the people below saw it, they booed together, and the voice was deafening.

"This girl looks very overbearing, not easy to take care of." Wang Zijin whispered to Fei Xiao.

"That's not necessarily the case. Most beautiful women are arrogant and indulgent. If they are meek and pleasant, most of them are mediocre in appearance."

After Wang Zijin heard this, he regained his spirit immediately.

I saw that the girl is not tall, but her figure is like a weak willow Fufeng, slim and moving.The girl in gorgeous clothes was standing on the balcony, holding a hydrangea ball in her slender hand and looking around.

But seeing her look around twice, she stopped facing their direction, the prince saw her, her heart skipped a beat, as if after seeing Xipa, two fiery eyes were looking at her.

Feixiao was also very happy, it seemed that Zijin's marriage was hopeful this time, she never thought that this idiot would find happiness so quickly.

The two were happy, the beautiful hydrangea had come out of the girl's hands, flying in the sky, the people below were pushing and shoving, everyone was scrambling to grab it.

Fei Xiao saw her and hurriedly said, "Zi Jin catches the ball."

She led the hydrangea out of thin air to fly towards Wang Zijin's arms, who knew that the hydrangea was about to fall into Wang Zijin's hands, but as if alive, it made a turn and bumped into Fei Xiao's arms.

Seeing this accident, the two looked at each other, and couldn't help being stupid!

五

Feixiao held the hydrangea ball in her hand, as if she couldn't believe her eyes, but the hydrangea ball inlaid with gold letters and tassels was so gorgeous and real that people couldn't help but believe it.

Wang Zijin was also extremely surprised, it was really strange to see the hydrangea turning out of thin air just now.Now that the matter has come to an end, the two of them followed the maid who led the way and left the tower in a daze, and came to a mansion not far away.

The eaves in the hall are all painted with complicated patterns, red, green, blue, although they are luxurious, they are unavoidably vulgar.

Then a few maidservants waited for the two of them to take their seats, and made tea again, very thoughtful.

"Fei Xiao, don't you have a crush on this girl?" Wang Zijin joked.

"No, I already lured the hydrangea into your arms, but it suddenly turned around." Fei Xiao wondered, "Could it be that some powerful person framed me?"

The prince laughed and said: "Fei Xiao, a gentleman is not lying, how can anyone frame you?"

While the two were talking, a middle-aged man in his forties came out from the inner room. He was very fat, his eyebrows were gray, his face was flushed, he was wearing a royal blue brocade robe embroidered with gold silk swastika pattern, he was rich and honorable. The vulgar dress is in perfect harmony with this hall.

When he saw Fei Hong, he was excited and rushed over to hold his hand, "My son-in-law, you are indeed a good-looking talent, no wonder the little girl has taken a fancy to you."

Fei Xiaojun's face twisted, he hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Old man misunderstood."

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Don't blame my son-in-law, I'm so abrupt, I really can't help it." Then he cleared his throat and said: "My surname is Zhang, my name is Qianfu, and I make a living in business. This time, you are recruiting a relative for my little girl. If you receive the hydrangea, you will be my son-in-law."

He looked at Fei Hong again, and his eyes were full of joy.

Feixiao hastily bowed, "Xiaosheng's surname is Hu and his name is Feixiao. This time I'm being polite, but I don't have any plans to start a family in recent years. I'm really ashamed of the master's kindness."

Hearing this, Zhang Qianfu's face immediately sank, "Do you think the little girl is ugly?"

He turned back to the servant girl and said, "Call the girl out quickly."

"No, Xiaosheng accidentally caught the bouquet."

"If you're not careful, why are you queuing up? Isn't this a joke?"

One sentence made Feixiao speechless, so it can't be said that she is helping the prince to cheat, right?

Just as he was talking, he heard a crisp voice from the back of the hall: "Father, this young master is not willing, so don't force him."

Wang Zijin and Feixiao looked over there together, and saw a young girl wearing a willow-colored skirt and a lake-green gauze dress coming gracefully. This is the girl from the Zhang family.

She was born with delicate features, a pair of big eyes that were lively and pleasing, inlaid on her small face like grapes, she looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old.

"This, this girl is too eager to invite relatives at such an age, isn't it?" Wang Zijin wondered, and at the same time he was secretly glad that he didn't receive the hydrangea, otherwise what would he do if he really married a girl?
"Where you are young, my daughter is already seventeen years old, and it's time to marry someone else." Zhang Qianfu was very dissatisfied, and gave the prince a cold snort.

Wang Zijin looked around in embarrassment, are they really blind?How could this girl look seventeen?

The girl was generous, and made a blessing to the two of them, "My little girl's surname is Zhang and her name is Baoyun. I have met the two young masters."

Wang Zijin chuckled inwardly when he heard this: This old man is crazy about money, and his daughter has such a vulgar name.

Baoyun looked at Feixiao and said: "The little girl was shocked when she saw the young master, and now the young master does not agree to this marriage, so I can't force it..." The tone was very lonely, it seems that this little girl is very fond of this beautiful fox. The demon fell in love at first sight.

I heard her continue to say: "Can I make a painting for the young master? It can also be regarded as compensation for the little girl?"

Fei Xiao knew that she was indeed wrong this time, so she hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, as long as the girl doesn't mind."

Baoyun looked at Feixiao's face, lost his mind, and after hearing what he said, he hurriedly looked away, and ordered the servant girl to prepare brushes and inks to paint for Feixiao.

While serving, those maidservants said: "Our lady is good at painting, many people pay for her to paint, but they can't invite her."

Bao Yun buried her head in the painting in embarrassment after being told, while she was painting, she peeked at Fei Xiao, her immature cheeks were blushing all over.

In less than an hour, the portrait was finished. The painting was lifelike and very vivid. The face of the person inside was like a jade plate, with peach blossoms in his eyes and sword eyebrows. He held a fan suavely and stood under the tree, As handsome and elegant as a fairy.

One can tell at a glance that the painter has put all his emotions into it.

When Fei Xiao saw her, she couldn't help feeling pity in her heart. Seeing that it was getting late, he hurriedly pulled the prince in to say goodbye and left, feeling Bao Yun's affectionate eyes, like silk, sticking behind him reluctantly.

On the way, Fei Xiao was inevitably teased and laughed by the prince, and the two went back to the inn and had an early rest.That night, Wang Zijin was sleeping soundly, but was woken up by Fei Hong who was next to him, but seeing the dim moonlight, his white jade face was covered with cold sweat, which seemed to be in great pain.

"What's wrong with you?" Wang Zijin has never seen him like this before, and hurriedly supported his shoulder.

"Zi Jin, Zi Jin, I've been cursed." Beads of sweat slipped from his forehead, he bit his red lip, and answered with difficulty.

"How did you suffer? How do you untie it?" Wang Zijin hurriedly wiped his sweat.

"I don't know...someone is going to take my soul away, that person is very powerful!" Fei Xiao said with difficulty, "In this barrier, my strength can only be reduced to seven or eight percent..."

"It doesn't matter, Feixiao, you are so capable, you will definitely get better." Wang Zijin saw that his face was getting paler and paler, and he felt panicked.

"Zi Jin, I may not accompany you anymore, I will put all my last spiritual power on this jade flute, you have to do it yourself..." Fei Xiao put the jade flute in Wang Zijin's hand, he His hands were cold and cold, without warmth.

"Fei Xiao, don't leave me, what can I do to save you?" Wang Zijin was so anxious that he was about to cry. If he had known this, even if he got lost in the wilderness, he would not come to this ghostly place.

"Find the person who cast the spell, and break the spell..." Fei Hong's beautiful face had already grown hair, and a pair of ears flicked on her head. The prince knew that he was going to turn into a fox.

"Don't worry, I will definitely find that person..." Before she could finish speaking, Fei Xiao's figure in front of her suddenly shrank and turned into a white fox, lying in her arms.

The white fox stretched out its pink tongue and licked his chin, "Zi Jin, you have to distinguish between the real and the fake, sometimes the more fake is the more real, the more real is the more fake... eyes, don't believe it completely..." After saying that, she fell into his arms, unable to speak human words.

Wang Zijin hugged the fox, and sat on the bed crying bitterly. First, Shen Xing, and now even Feixiao has left, leaving only himself, what should we do?
But the white fox in his arms was very impatient, and wanted to break free from his embrace. As soon as Wang Zijin let go, it nestled in the corner of the bed in no time, no different from ordinary small animals, how could there be any shadow of scarlet wisdom?

Wang Zijin looked at its snow-white fur, which reflected the brocade quilt, it was really beautiful, and the handsome face of the crimson silk seemed to be right in front of his eyes.

But the sly, clever and handsome Feihong are no longer there. Wang Zijin wept bitterly, clutching the jade flute with both hands, determined to find out the person who cast the spell, and turn Feihong back into Humanoid.

Outside the window, the night is fading. The huge city of Dufeng is sleeping in the silent night. Where is there a clue?
六

Wang Zijin stayed up all night and saw the sky gradually brighten outside the window. For an ordinary person like him, it is not easy to find the person who cast the curse.
Recalling the two people's experience yesterday, the most likely one is the Taoist priest named Ziyang, but didn't he say that as long as Fei Xiao doesn't cause trouble, he won't be in trouble?
Wait, causing trouble?The lady who threw the hydrangea yesterday was the daughter of the richest man in the city. Could it be that the old man felt embarrassed and ran to sue Ziyang?

Thinking of this, he hurried to Qingyun Temple to look for the Ziyang theory.

Before he left, he still didn't forget about Feixiao who was nestled on the bed. He dragged his tail and pulled it out to hold him in his arms. Although it was really just a fox now, he still couldn't let it go.

The fox struggled in Prince Jin's embrace, so he had to buy a bamboo basket and carry it on his back, thinking to himself: Feixiao, Feixiao, I carried you on my back thousands of years ago, how can I think it will be the same after thousands of years.This cycle of life is really interesting.

Wang Zijin asked and walked all the way, and within an hour, he arrived at Qingyun Temple. The Taoist temple was not as big as imagined, but it was full of incense.

Like everyone else, he hurriedly bought joss sticks and went to pay homage. There were a few young Taoist priests leading the way for the pilgrims, but he didn't see Ziyang's shadow.

Wang Zijin hastily asked one of them, "When can I see your real Ziyang?"

The little Taoist was amused when he heard that, "Realists rarely meet with customers, especially these days, when they are busy with trifles."

"Trivia? What trivial matter?" Wang Zijin was secretly startled.

"What else can there be trivial matters, there are countless monsters and monsters around here, so I am busy catching monsters and ghosts." After finishing speaking, he ignored him.

Hunting ghosts?Catch the ghost!Could it be that the one you took was the scarlet silk?He stood in the courtyard blankly for a while, not knowing what to do.

Wang Zijin wandered alone in the Taoist temple for a day, but he didn't see Ziyang come back. Seeing the twilight, he had to go down the mountain to buy a chicken to feed the fox, and planned to think of a solution at night.

He waited in a small tea shop next to the Taoist temple until the sun went down, and then went to Qingyun Temple with a bamboo basket on his back.At this time, night fell, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the gate of the Taoist temple was closed tightly.

I saw that the wall was as high as a person, but he only thought about the darkness, but he didn't have the ability to enter the door. He hurriedly searched around for a few bricks to step on, and finally grabbed the tiles on the wall, and kicked a few times. Climb up.

Only then did he realize that the bamboo basket was in the way, and he murmured in his heart: Feixiao is really, she only knows how to eat every day, but now she eats so much and is so cumbersome.He had no choice but to shake his head, except for the basket, hiding in the grass.

This time without any burden, he finally climbed to the top of the wall with hands and feet. Wang Zijin felt happy for a while, but when he looked at his feet, he felt cold again.

The wall is as high as a person, how to get down?Just thinking about it, I heard the people inside shouting: "The real person is back, hurry up and go out to greet him."

I saw the people in the room intertwined, there was a rush, and then a few little Taoist priests ran out of the inner room. In the panic, Wang Zijin stepped on the air and fell down the wall with a plop.

Those little Taoist priests hurriedly stopped and looked over here.

Wang Zijin had no choice but to hold back the pain, "Meow... Meow..." He opened his mouth and meowed a few times, the Taoist priests felt relieved after hearing this, and walked away in peace, laughing as they walked: "This cat is too heavy." I guess it's because I ate too many offerings..."

Wang Zijin was so humiliated that he hurriedly got up and patted the dust off his body, and went to look for Ziyang.
