Mu Ke was buried in the fire, and the ferocious and strange roar soon disappeared.
This is not an ordinary fire, but a fire in Zhao Siqi's heart. It's just that because his magic power is low and the fire in his heart is weak, and it is winter, the big sparks are hidden and there is no way to draw on it, so he needs to use blood as a primer to release the fire of righteous indignation in his heart.
By daybreak, there was no heat in the fire pit, and only the disgusting smell of burning was floating in the air, making me dizzy.
Zhao Siqi jumped into the pit, took out a short knife and sawed off Muke's head.
The steel fork had been burned beyond use and had to be left in the pit.
Zhao Siqi carried Muke's terrifying big head, which was burned beyond recognition, down the mountain with a smell of burnt smoke, and arrived at the village at the foot of the mountain. Then he knocked on the back door of a house and said, "Open the door, Sister Hua."
The back door opened, revealing a tear-stained face.
Sister Hua looked at Zhao Siqi, who was standing in front of him, covered in charcoal ash, holding a huge, non-human-shaped head in his hand, with an expression of shock and fear, and said, "Why are you here?"
Zhao Siqi knew that he looked scary, so he did not go in. Instead, he stood at the door and saluted, saying: "It is not the mountain god who is enshrining my daughter on the mountain, but this monster."
He threw the Muke head in his hand on the ground and said: "This monster is called Muke. It is humanoid but not human. I know that you are the woman chosen to sacrifice to the mountain god, so you and your old mother shed tears every day."
"Thanks to your kindness, I took Muke's head as a reward. No need to be sad anymore, take good care of your daughter-in-law and live a good life."
Tears suddenly welled up in Sister Hua's eyes. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhao Siqi, saying, "Thank you, immortal, for the rescue!"
Zhao Siqi did not go to help her, but smiled and said: "I am not an immortal, I am just a homeless person."
His voice became farther and farther away, and was gradually inaudible.
Sister Hua looked up and saw that the young man wearing her father's old cotton coat had disappeared, leaving only a hideous and terrifying wooden guest's head lying in the ashes.
Sister Hua mustered up the courage to carry Muke's head into the room and sobbed: "Mom, we are saved."
Zhao Siqi was wearing a shabby cotton coat and was already walking to the next place.
He had no way to stop. He had already stayed here long enough to deal with Muke.
If possible, Zhao Siqi would prefer to stay in Zhaojiazhuang and Fox Slope.
But the wet nurse is dead, and there is no one or thing in Zhaojiazhuang that he cares about. The snake demon Xiao Qi is also a difficult threat to deal with. He has no way to drag down Fox Fairy and Kang Wen on Fox Slope.
Thinking about the past, Zhao Siqi's stomach growled. In order to fight with Mu Ke, he had exhausted too much energy and had not had a meal yet.
Smoke rises in the distance, and the aroma of Laba porridge seems to be floating in the air.
Only then did Zhao Siqi remember in a daze that it was already the twelfth lunar month, and it would be the New Year after Laba. But now, no one can spend the New Year with him.
He cheered up and thought: "Let's try to find a way to see if I can get a bowl of porridge. I remember that during the Laba Festival, there will be temples or good people giving porridge. Maybe I can get a bowl of porridge to satisfy my hunger."
Zhao Siqi was still recalling the taste of Laba porridge in his mind, and smoke was already rising from the Huziyuan.
The foxes are still in class, and Gong Mengbi is making porridge by himself.
Take the best rice and boil it till it becomes sticky. Inside it are put oval hazelnut kernels, semi-circular chestnuts, milky white groundnuts, sweet and crunchy almonds, plus colorful candied fruits. It will definitely taste sticky and appetizing, and you can eat it all at once. After eating several bowls, my stomach became round.
Gong Mengbi didn't skimp on the good ingredients, and the pot of eight-treasure sweet porridge was deliciously fragrant.
Several fox prisoners were adding firewood, fanning the fire, and carrying washed rice grains. As they walked, they couldn't move their eyes away from the big pots, and almost stumbled and broke the bowls they were holding.
The Laba porridge that comes out first is naturally offered to the gods. Taishan Empress and Jade Fairy Goddess are invited to enjoy it first, and then wait for the fox to finish class.
As soon as the hour came, the foxes rushed out of the school in a hurry. Four legs were not enough, and they wished they could grow two more legs, and headed straight for the altar.
The gluttonous fox who came first ran to the big pot and saw Gong Mengbi cooking. He turned into a human again in a burst of smoke and pretended to be: "Master."
The fox prisoner on the side handed him a bowl and spoon, and Gong Mengbi filled a bowl of porridge for him and said: "Study hard. It doesn't matter if you are greedy, but you must have a correct mind."
The gluttonous fox agreed and went to the side to drink porridge.
After a while, a queue formed in front of several pots. Gong Mengbi ordered the five ghosts and gods to prepare the porridge, and also said some auspicious words to bless all the foxes.
When the two gentlemen came again, Gong Mengbi served the prepared Laba porridge and said, "To please them."
Ning Caichen and Ma Junji felt happy after eating, and they couldn't help but think about home in this cold winter.
Fortunately, Fox Slope is not far from the county seat of Wuning County, so they can go back soon, but those who are running for their lives and livelihoods can't even hope for a bowl of Laba porridge.
The New Year is getting closer, and Ning Caichen and Ma Junji also go home for vacation to celebrate the New Year.
A group of foxes left the Fox Slope, but there were also a lot of foxes left, and it was just as lively and lively as last year.
Fatty Kang closed the restaurant and took Xiao Yi'er and Xiang Jun out of the north center of Jinhua City and headed up the mountain.
Xiao Yier asked: "This is not the way back to Wu Ning. Master, where are you taking us?"
Fatty Kang said: "Your uncle asked me to pick someone up."
Xiao Yi'er asked curiously: "Who is it?"
Fatty Kang didn't say anything, and he didn't know who he was. He just mentioned that when the Five Ghosts and Gods escorted Guanghan Feixianjiu here last time, he asked him to come to Lanyin Temple in the north of the city to take two people back when he went home at the end of the year.
In Lanyin Temple, Xiaoqian held an umbrella and looked down the mountain with a somewhat sad expression.
Zhu Zhengxin breathed heavily, suppressing the desire in his heart, and said: "Don't look at it. You are a ghost and I am a monster. Even after we go down the mountain, no one wants to pay attention to us."
"At this time in previous years, I should be reunited with my family."
"My mother died early, and my father did not remarry. I have a very virtuous wife, not very beautiful, but very gentle. I shouldn't be here, I want to go down the mountain... I want... ah !”
Before he finished speaking, the grass ring around his neck was already glowing red. Zhu Zhengxin was already familiar with the power of the Heart Refining Ring. Once burned by the fire in his heart, he immediately kept his mind calm and stopped thinking about things that could no longer be changed.
Xiaoqian looked at his tense pig head and sighed, sighing both his fate and her own fate.
But the next moment, she became nervous, looked outside the temple, and said, "Someone is coming."
Zhu Zhengxin had learned how to restrain his thoughts, opened his eyes and said, "Hide first."
The two people moved to the monk's house.
Xiao Qian wondered: "Before the Fox Fairy left, he had used orchids to create an illusion so that mortals could not break in. How could anyone come in?"
Zhu Zhengxin said: "Then he is not a mortal."
Three figures arrived at the monk's residence. One was tall and burly, one was tall and graceful, and the other was short and round.
The tall and graceful shadow pointed at the monk's house. Xiaoqian and Zhu Zhengxin couldn't help but be caught. They flew out from the monk's house and landed in front of them.
The beautiful girl looked at Zhu Zhengxin and Xiaoqian, raised her eyebrows and said, "Fat Kang, this is your family."
Fatty Kang looked at Zhu Zhengxin in surprise and circled him twice: "Weird, really weird. It looks like my own family, but not like my own family."
Fatty Kang was tall and tall, while Zhu Zhengxin had a protruding nose and big ears. For a moment, it was hard to tell who looked more like a pig.
Zhu Zhengxin said angrily, "Who are you and why did you break into Lanyin Temple?"
Fatty Kang touched his head and said with a smile: "Don't blame me. Do you know my brother Gong? He asked me to pick up two people to go home for the New Year. It must be you."
Zhu Zhengxin and Xiaoqian looked at each other, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
Xiao Yi'er laughed and said: "Don't be in a daze, let's go quickly, we have to go back to make New Year's Eve dinner."
