The bright moonlight shines on the thick snow, making Langhuan City particularly bright.
Xuan Daotong was looking around the city and had already turned around several times.
In the morning, he heard from Beard that a man suddenly died suddenly in the city last night. He said that he died on the road in the middle of the night after drinking at Xunxian Tower.
In such a snowy weather, it is not unusual for someone to get drunk and freeze to death at night, but this person died strangely. When he was found, it seemed that all the blood and essence had been sucked out of his body, and he was a mummified corpse.
The yamen suppressed this matter and did not announce it to the outside world. The bearded man accepted both black and white, and the gossip was well-informed, so he told Xuan Daotong so that Xuan Daotong could find out. If there was a trick, he could make a lot of money with Xuan Daotong in the future.
Xuan Daotong concluded that this matter must be the work of a demon, and a sudden bolt from the blue occurred during the day. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
If he can catch this monster, he will not only get the bounty from the Yamen, but also earn money from the beard. The Taoist temple in his dream can also be built, accept worship from all directions, and become famous from now on... Mysterious Tao Yue The more beautiful I thought, my tears almost flowed, so I patted my chest and agreed.
So he asked Xuan Mo to draw a lot of chicken blood charms to sell to merchants, and he put on the Five Directions Thunder God Talisman that he had prepared long ago and painted with Xuan Mo's blood. He carefully selected a few items from his pile of broken magic weapons and hung them around his waist. He also took the time to sharpen his rusty ancestral demon-catching sword.
Everything was ready, Xuan Daotong went to catch the monster excitedly.
Carrying the big sword on his back, he patrolled the city for several times, but found nothing unusual. Finally, he squatted in a dark corner near Xunxian Tower, waiting for the opportunity.
By the time it got late at night, all the shops in Langhuan City were closed. Only Xunxian Tower was brightly lit and drums were playing.
Xuandaotong huddled in the corner and waited anxiously. He was made uncomfortable by the aroma of wine in the building, and he cursed the monster's eighteen generations of ancestors a hundred times in his heart.
"Master, let's go slowly!" A drunk man staggered out of Xunxian Tower.
"Xian'er, why are you just drinking? Uncle, I have a lot of money..."
The drunk man murmured drunken words with his eyes dimmed. He staggered for a few steps and suddenly looked at the alley in the distance with a silly smile and said, "Xian'er, is that you? Xian'er, I'm here."
Xuandaotong looked towards the alley, and there seemed to be a slim woman in white waving to the drunk man. The white light flashed and disappeared.
The drunk man's eyes widened, and he chased after him stupidly.
Xuan Daotong suddenly became more energetic. He picked up the big sword and chased after him. When he ran to the end of the alley, he found that there was nothing.
After turning down a few more alleys, suddenly, a white light flashed in an abandoned dilapidated house in front of me.
Xuandaotong was hiding in the dark, quietly peeking through the hole in the wall. He saw the stupid drunkard and a woman in white. The woman in white had her back to Xuandaotong, pestering the drunken man. witchcraft!
Xuan Daotong saw it clearly. He gently pulled out the sword, took out a five-direction thunder talisman from his arms, licked it with his tongue and stuck it on the sword. He found the right opportunity and threw it at the woman in white with all his strength.
There was a sound of gold and stone, fire light burst out, and the enchantress in white disappeared. The drunk man was left lying on the ground drooling and twitching, "huffing and puffing" and only breathing out but not in.
Xuan Daotong cursed secretly, "Damn it, let the monster run away!"
Climbing up the broken wall and jumping into the broken house, he ignored the drunkard and just went to pick up his sword, only to find a very small but very transparent piece of red jade and some tiny red jade slag scattered beside the sword.
Xuan Daotong's eyes shone as if he had found a treasure. He picked up the red jade and put it in his arms. He jumped over the wall and ran back to the merchant's compound.
Xuan Daotong opened the firewood shed door with a happy face, only to see Xuan Mo looking at him with horror on his face, actually holding an injured rabbit in his arms!
"Disciple, where did you get the rabbit? Are you going to stew rabbit for tomorrow?" Xuan Daotong asked casually, putting the various magical weapons on his body into the box.
Xuan Mo was wiping Chunsheng's wounds when he was unexpectedly hit by his master. He was so frightened that he hugged Chunsheng tightly, "Master, this is not food, it is...Xiaoxia...please ask me to take care of it."
Xuan Daotong didn't take it seriously. He picked up the teapot and took a long drink. "That little cook's? His food is not stewed."
"It's not for stew!" Xuan Mo said anxiously.
"It's not stewed? It's roasted? That's right! It's roasted well. You haven't eaten rabbit meat before, right? Roast it until it's sizzling with oil. Sprinkle it with salt and powder from the Western Regions... even the gods would drool..." Xuan Daotong was intoxicated with the fantasy of roast rabbit.
"Master! This rabbit is not for food! You can't eat it!" Xuan Mo hugged Chun Sheng so tightly that his face turned red with anxiety.
"What are you doing if you don't want to eat? Raise and lay eggs? Oh, skinning! How about I make rabbit skin gloves for you?" Xuan Daotong said and went to pull Chun Sheng's rabbit ears.
Xuan Mo hugged Chunsheng and hurriedly hid aside, "Master! This rabbit can't move! It's Xiaoxia's precious pet!"
Xuan Daotong felt very disappointed, "Xiao Xia, Xiao Xia, you hang out with that wild boy all day long, do you still have your master in your eyes? His rabbit is with you, but where are the others?"
"He has something to do at home and will be back for two days."
"Who will cook when he leaves?"
"Me! Xiaoxia asked me to work for him these two days, and the wages will be mine."
In desperation, Xuan Mo's deceitful words became more and more easy to come by.
As soon as he mentioned being rich, Xuan Daotong immediately smiled.
"Ah, good disciple. Cooking is easy anyway, as long as you are familiar with it. You can do it for him first. The money will come tomorrow as a disciple, and our good days are coming!"
Xuan Daotong teased the "little white rabbit" in Xuan Mo's arms as he spoke, and said, "Oh, the little rabbit is so cute. It looks delicious, but it's a little small."
Xuan Mo hugged Chun Sheng tightly and hid behind him, saying in horror: "You can't eat it!"
"Look, I scared you. What's wrong with your wrist?" Xuan Daotong found an injury on Xuan Mo's arm, which was simply bandaged.
"I didn't know how to hold a rabbit just now, so the rabbit bit it. It's okay, just a small bite." Xuan Mo explained hurriedly.
"Stupid, be careful. What kind of treasure is a broken rabbit if it is not roasted and eaten? If you let it bite you, it will bleed in vain. You might as well draw some more charms for the teacher. It will come in handy today. Wait for that When the wild boy comes back, he has to pay for it!"
Xuan Daotong muttered, but he didn't know that Xuan Mo's wound was made of new blood residue with his own blood and hair, which sealed Chun Sheng's wound and protected Chun Sheng's heart.
"My good disciple, I will be rich soon. I will grab some good golden elixirs for you tomorrow. I know that you are a filial child. In the future, we will build a big temple and let you be the abbot and inherit the mantle of the master... "
As he spoke, Xuan Daotong took off his clothes and threw them aside, took off his shoes and threw them away casually. He straightened the bedding on the straw bed carelessly, fell on it and fell asleep.
Xuan Mo hugged the "little white rabbit" and curled up on the other side of the firewood pile with a quilt, hiding from the master. He was careful not to close his eyes all night, for fear that the master would take away his little Xia and eat him.
Early the next morning, Xuan Daotong took a few bites of Xuan Mo's meal, and then happily went to discuss business with Beard.
He came out after a while, clasped his hands behind his back, and walked out the door with a cheerful face. Before going out, he said to Xuan Mo, "I'll collect money from the merchants and buy fodder later."
Sure enough, Bearded Man came to Xuan Mo and gave him a lot of fodder money and asked him to go to the market to buy a large amount of hay for the horses, as if he was preparing for a long trip.
There was a lot of fodder and the need was urgent. Xuan Mo couldn't work with Chun Sheng, so he put Chun Sheng in her own room. Thousands of warnings and instructions, one must avoid his master.
It was almost noon when he finished his work. Xuan Mo cooked some noodles for the merchant and rushed back to Chunsheng's room, but was shocked to find that the "little white rabbit" was missing!
The water and food on the table have not been touched!
I searched under the bed and under the table, but there was no trace! I ran to the kitchen and turned it over again, but there was nothing! Not even in the yard!
Xuan Mo had an ominous premonition and broke into cold sweat...
Pushing open the door of the woodshed, the aroma of barbecue hits you.
Xuandaotong was leaning on the firewood pile, picking his teeth with a small stick of firewood very contentedly...
Seeing his disciple coming, he stood up and pulled Xuan Mo into the woodshed, and happily stuffed an oil paper bag that smelled of barbecue into Xuan Mo's hand.
"My dear disciple, you have worked hard today! Look what this is!"
"What?" Xuan Mo asked, staring blankly at the oil paper bag in his hand.
"Roast rabbit! Master has eaten it and left a rabbit leg for you. Today we and I will have a good tooth-bashing ceremony. Let's eat it in the house. After eating, collect the bones on the ground and don't let those profiteers see..."
