Hua Guzi's family is all deer deer. His father, Hua Laohan, went to the capital to visit friends. He drank too much and showed his true colors. He happened to be shot in the leg by a group of dandies who went hunting in Xishan.
Seeing that his life was in danger, Zhang Xiu used his superb archery skills to scare away the group of dandies and rescued him.
After Hua Laohan recovered, he originally wanted to repay Zhang Xiu, but he learned that he had already become the number one scholar and was promoted to an official. He would definitely be rich and powerful in the future and would not need his help at all.
Originally, he thought he had no hope of repaying his kindness, so he returned home. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiu actually came to Huashan Mountain and accidentally entered the mountain protection formation set up by Emperor Xiyue.
Hua Laohan sensed that Zhang Xiu had arrived, and was afraid that he would be harmed by the goblin in the mountains, so he hurriedly found Zhang Xiu and took him to his home to spend the night.
But I don't want Zhang Xiu to eat deer meat as soon as he opens his mouth. This...
But the life-saving grace must be repaid!
Old Man Hua looked at his daughter, whom he regarded as the apple of his eye, with a troubled expression, and then at his wife who was shivering in the room. He felt that he might have to sacrifice his life to feed Zhang Xiu today...
At this time, Zhang Xiu showed a kind smile and said: "Old man, I'm kidding you. Give us whatever you have at home. Don't be polite, just treat it as if it's your own home!"
Old Man Hua wiped the cold sweat on his head, nodded to Zhang Xiu with a forced smile, and said, "Sir, please come in, Mrs. Hua, don't just stand there stupidly, go and warm the wine and cook!"
After Hua Guzi came to her senses and made sure her father was not kidnapped, she breathed a sigh of relief and went into the kitchen to cook.
Arriving at the house, Old Man Hua came to his senses and realized that Zhang Xiu had discovered the identity of his family. He knelt down and thanked Zhang Xiu, and explained the cause and effect to Zhang Xiu.
"Mr. Zhang, my life-saving grace will never be forgotten. Now that you are passing by my humble home, please stay at my house for a few days so that I can fulfill my duty as a landlord."
Zhang Xiu nodded slightly and then asked: "Old man, do you know who set up the formation in the mountain and what is going on in this village?"
Old Man Hua sighed slightly and said: "This formation was set up by the Great Emperor of Xiyue. Not long ago, wars broke out in the world, and evil spirits everywhere came to the world to do evil. Among them, another great demon was born and established thousands of cities in the north. In the country of monsters, monsters are gathered from everywhere.”
"In order to restrain the monsters in Huashan Mountain, the Emperor of Xiyue set up a formation here to confine us to Huashan Mountain to prevent anyone from having evil intentions and seeking refuge in the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom. The village where my family lives is one of the places where the Huashan Mountain monsters gather. Village.”
"But don't worry, sir. This formation is only effective against spirits and monsters, and cannot trap mortals. Even if you enter the formation by mistake, you should be able to get out."
Zhang Xiu nodded, then trembled and looked at Yan Feng and others with shocked expressions: "Is one of you a monster??"
Yan Feng rolled his eyes at him and complained: "The magic of ecstasy can also absorb essence. The one who looks most like a monster is obviously you, right?"
Zhang Xiu fell into deep thought after hearing this, frowned and said, "That's strange. If there are no monsters among us, why would we accidentally enter this formation?"
Ao Xue rolled her eyes, as if she thought of something, and tentatively said to Zhang Xiu: "Is there a possibility that Emperor Xiyue wants to kill you to do justice to heaven?"
"Aoxue, come here, I'll show you something good."
Zhang Xiu showed a kind smile, looked at Ao Xue who was approaching, and with a flick of his finger, a head popped on her forehead.
The next moment, a swelling popped up on Aoxue's forehead, and she screamed and got into Mrs. Chen's arms.
Mrs. Chen held her daughter in her left hand and Ao Xue in her right hand. She looked helplessly at Zhang Xiu with an expression that didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Soon, the food was served on the Tukang, and Ao Xue turned her grief and anger into appetite, and ate all the food on the table, and then she relieved her hatred.
When night fell, Zhang Xiu and others had dinner, came to the guest room, and huddled together on an earthen bed to fall asleep.
In the pitch-black thatched house, a tiny white snake slipped in through the crack in the door and transformed into a beautiful woman.
This snake spirit is also a monster from Huashan Mountain.
However, unlike the kind-hearted and simple Hua Guzi, she often goes down the mountain to seduce men with her beauty, absorbs the essence of mortals to practice, and is notorious among the monsters in Huashan Mountain.
This evening, she smelled the breath of living people. When she took a closer look, she found that several mortals had come to Hua Guzi's house, and she was immediately overjoyed.
After Emperor Xiyue sealed the mountain, she had not eaten blood food for a long time. After they fell asleep, she couldn't wait to sneak in.
In the darkness, she looked at Zhang Xiu and others lying on the earthen bed.
Lying on the far left is the bearded Yan Feng, separated by a curtain. On the right side of the curtain lie Yan Feng's wife, woman, Ao Xue, Xia'er, and Zhang Xiu.
The snake demon was stunned for a moment: "..."
Eh? There seems to be something wrong, right?
The snake demon was stunned for a moment, then shook his head to dispel the doubts in his heart, and looked at Zhang Xiu's face with a pair of greedy eyes.
He is full of energy and is a handsome scholar. Today he is very lucky!
The snake demon stretched out the bright red snake letter, licked his lips, opened his mouth and blew out a puff of white smoke. Chen and others' heads tilted slightly and fell into coma.
Immediately afterwards, she quietly moved to Zhang Xiu's side, opened her mouth and sucked in Zhang Xiu's essence.
The next moment, Zhang Xiu turned over and waved his right hand unconsciously, and something happened to be stuffed into the mouth of the snake demon.
The snake demon was startled for a moment, then his expression changed dramatically, and he spat out the sock in his mouth, resisting the urge to retching.
Looking at the socks on the ground, the snake demon's face showed a bit of sadness and anger, and his beautiful face turned ferocious.
She has seen a lot of mortals, but who in the world would sleep with their socks on!
And the socks were coated with arsenic!
Arsenic?
The snake demon was stunned.
Yes, why is there arsenic on the socks? ?
Before he could react, Zhang Xiu slowly opened his eyes, and a pair of strange red pupils instantly caught the snake demon's eyes.
"You're here to deliver late-night snacks...takeaway girl!"
This was the first thing the snake demon heard Zhang Xiu say, and it was also the last thing she heard before she died.
The next morning, Hua Guzi's family woke up and fell into deep thought while looking at the snake soup on the table. The three of them gathered around and discussed in a low voice.
The flower lady asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Mom, where did this snake soup come from?"
Mrs. Hua said with a complicated expression: "I don't know, I just went out to dig wild vegetables this morning, and I heard that the snake demon at the east end of the village has disappeared."
Old Man Hua looked at the snake soup on the table, coughed dryly, and said, "Don't think blindly, you two. This must be a coincidence. I heard that the pheasant essence at the west end of the village has also disappeared. It can't be eaten by Young Master Zhang."
At this time, Zhang Xiu came in from the outside while chewing on a chicken leg. He smiled kindly and said, "You guys got up quite early. Huashan is such a good place. Even the pheasants are more fragrant than the ones we have there!"
Old Man Hua: "@#¥%¥#@......"
Mr. Zhang, I really can’t make it up anymore! !
