Half a month ago——
In early winter, there is light snow, cold wind, and no trace of people or birds.
A hole opened in the thin ice on the lake, and only a faint light appeared. The fish that were still steaming at the bottom of the lake swung their bodies and fell into the bamboo basket next to their feet in the order of the faint light.
"Fresh fish soup, fresh fish soup, fresh fish soup..." Master Yun Chu muttered something in his mouth, rubbed his reddish hands with hot breath, and left with brisk steps while holding the bamboo basket.
Suddenly, a ray of red light flew towards him, his movements were one step ahead of his consciousness, and he managed to avoid it.
When Master Yun Chu saw the figure coming towards her, his eyes were filled with surprise. He hugged the bamboo basket and ran towards the forest as hard as he could...
"There is no demonic aura, but there is demonic power. This is the first time I have seen him."
"Ah! Monster! Where is it? Young Master, please don't scare me! It's so scary!" Master Yun Chu cried with big tears rolling down his shoulders, looking frightened and uneasy.
"Young hero, this little girl is just a small family. I don't know where I bumped into you. You, sir, have a lot of money, so you won't care about this little girl like me, right?"
Master Yun Chu advised earnestly: "Young hero, I see that you have a kind face, a kind brow and a kind purpose. You will definitely have good karma in the future, but you still need to put down your butcher knife and accumulate good deeds before you can become a Buddha immediately."
She squatted on the ground and cried until she was in tears. She quickly glanced at the man, then quietly stretched out her numb feet and stamped him.
The man opposite him remained indifferent and turned a deaf ear, flicking the jumping sparks in his hand.
I stared at him and raised my eyebrows, as if he was watching someone making a show.
Isn’t it said that since ancient times, heroes have struggled with beauty? She had such a soft and weak posture.
She must be too beautiful for him.
Master Yun Chu looked mournful and stared at the red circle at his feet, unable to do anything.
She had quietly tried several times just now, but the formation made it impossible for her to cast any spells. The harder she tried, the smaller the aperture shrank.
"I advise you to be honest. I have laid a 'painted ground as a prison' to prevent you from getting out. Be careful not to turn into ashes, but you can't blame me." The man turned the grilled fish over on the rack, and the fat fell along the body of the fish onto the fire, and sparks appeared. , the thick smoke choked her even more, "This fish smells pretty good."
I really had to cry even if I didn’t want to.
Master Yun Chu was feeling lonely in her heart. Why did she want fresh fish soup in winter? The thick smoke from burning wet firewood made her eyes sore that she couldn't open her eyes, but she couldn't escape.
"Little demon, I'm just flirting now. If you can get out of my 'painted earth as a prison', I will let you go." The man calmly glanced at her leisurely.
If he could run, he would have run away already. Who would have the leisure to put aside this nonsense?
"The little girl is really not a monster..."
As long as he refuses to admit it, the Death Master will definitely not be able to tell the truth.
"Of course, don't try to deceive me. There was a demon that pretended to surrender. I nailed it to a tree and skinned it alive. It screamed, tut... the nail was only as long as a stick." The man kept using his hands. She gestured, looked behind her for a while, and said slowly: "That tree is almost as big as the one behind you. If you want to give it a try, it doesn't hurt."
Master Yun Chu suddenly turned around and stared at the big tree. The scene of her being nailed to it and being skinned was all in his mind. He felt the hair on his head was rising, and there was a stern look on his face. In his heart, he could only say: "I'm not going to die soon."
"Haha." A narrow smile appeared on Master Yun Chu's face, "My legs are numb, please slow down."
"I forgot, the demon's bones are still in my gourd. I can show you." The man ignored Master Yun Chu's expressions of shock and horror, and reached out to untie the gourd tied around his waist.
"No, no, don't bother..." Master Yun Chu quickly waved his hand to refuse and covered his eyes with his hands, leaving only a slit open. She was really afraid that he would pull out something terrible. Even though she was curious inside, she had to pretend.
"Hey, what a coincidence, I forgot to bring my gourd today." The man groped for a while, then looked annoyed and rolled his eyes: "It doesn't matter, I'll let you take a look at yours before you die."
The man slowly adjusted his clothes, and his body was so red that Master Yun Chu looked at him as if he was a demon sucking her blood.
"For the sake of grilling your fish, well... let's keep your little demon strip intact."
"Haha. I can't thank you enough." The smile on Master Yun Chu's face froze and he couldn't hold it anymore. The smile was uglier than crying. She was heartbroken that since she couldn't escape this disaster, she might as well scold her and never lose her momentum.
"You have the ability to let me out, but I don't believe that I can't hold you down? You know that this formation will make the demon unable to use its demon power, but you still play like this..."
"Tsk, I admit it." The man raised his eyebrows, slowly picked away the residue from the fish, took out a piece of oil paper from his waist and carefully wrapped the roasted fish.
"I..." Master Yun Chu choked up: "I'm just talking nonsense, your formation is also bound to people."
A gentleman can bend and stretch, but when it's time to be timid, he has to be timid.
"You don't admit that you are a monster, but you also learned the magic." The man paused and stared at her with a joking look: "Could it be that you secretly learned the forbidden magic? This is a big taboo, and everyone will be punished for it. Of."
"Confusing right and wrong, it's unreasonable." Master Yun Chu spoke excitedly, as if he didn't want to accept this dirty water: "When have I ever used magic?"
"Although I specialize in killing monsters, I can't do anything with humans..." The man stared at her, as if his patience with prey was exhausted. The murderous intent in his eyes fluctuated, and the next moment he was about to draw a sword and slit her throat. The man emphasized his tone: "Especially if you are full of lies."
Faced with the man's murderous intent, Master Yun Chu remained silent, shrinking his neck and not daring to breathe, for fear of being skinned next moment.
"Hahaha..." Looking at Master Yun Chu's reddish eyes, the man's murderous intent quickly disappeared, and he laughed softly, his laughter wanton and public: "You little monster really doesn't take teasing."
"You, you, you..." Master Yun Chu's face suddenly lost all color. He stood up and tried to fight the man, but was pushed down by an invisible force. She looked in the direction of the man as if there were thin knives in her eyes, but she lowered her head and did not dare to be too conspicuous.
The man couldn't help but laugh when he saw her angry and timid look. The boy's hearty laughter seeped into the mud as the snow continued to fall.
"That's all, for the sake of the fish-burning, I won't argue with you little devil today. I'll keep you alive for a few more days." Suddenly, the man picked up a pile of snow and put out the sparks on the firewood. He wiped off the residual snow from his hands, stood up and asked, "Qingsang County..."
"No more than two or three miles."
"So familiar? You seem to be of some use." The man's voice was clear and clear, with no emotion audible. It was all indifferent and distant, as if everything just now was silently stored.
Hearing this, Master Yun Chu denied it repeatedly: "It's a joke, it's a joke."
She quietly looked at the man, her expression neither happy nor sad. She cleared her throat and tentatively said, "So young hero, this formation? Can we withdraw it?"
The hint was very obvious, but the man seemed not to hear it. Master Yun Chu's little bit of flattery was about to be exhausted. Now she was the meat on the chopping board. She endured it and a gentleman took revenge. It was never too late in ten years.
"Young hero?" She really wanted to punch the Death Master in the face.
When Master Yun Chu tried again, he saw a burst of red light coming, and the world was spinning...
