Demoness, Where Are You Fleeing To?

In the early morning, Li Xuan asked his eldest follower Li Dalu to carry a basket of cooked bone soup and follow him to the Capital God Temple near Jiming Temple in the north of the city.

There are many City God's temples in Jinling, and Nanjing is the capital of the country, so the imperial court consecrated a Capital City God's Temple in the city, which was the first of the Southern City God's and Jinling's other City God's temples. It had theoretical control over the City God's temples south of the Yangtze River.

Since the Chinese Ghost Festival is approaching on July 15th, the incense in the Capital City God's Temple is very strong. When Li Xuan arrived, the place was already crowded with people.

The Hungry Ghost Festival is the festival of the Qingxu Emperor, the ‘Diguan’ among the three great emperors. The land gods are all under the jurisdiction of the ‘Diguan’, so it is customary for people to worship the city gods and the land in various places before the Hungry Ghost Festival.

Li Xuan spent all his strength and finally squeezed into the main hall to worship the City God. Then he came to a remote alley next to the City God's Hall, in front of a shrine that was only half a person tall.

The statue enshrined inside is a mastiff, and its name is "General Tingtian".

The incense here is still very strong. After worshiping the City God, the believers of the City God will, as usual, burn some incense for the mythical beast that is said to be the most useful and beloved in front of the City God's throne.

Li Xuan first offered this person three pillars of incense that were as tall as one person, and then muttered something: "Brother Mastiff, Li Xuan took the liberty to come to visit today, please take the time to see me. I heard that Brother Mastiff, you like to eat bone soup, Li Xuan I specially invited the chef of Sanweiju to make some for you——"

In fact, he had wanted to visit this Tiantian Mastiff even after the meeting at Zhuque Hall. It's just that I have been busy these days and have no time.

However, Li Xuan repeated it three times in a row, but he didn't see any reaction from the statue, and there was no movement around. Instead, it attracted sideways glances from the surrounding pilgrims.

Let the mythical beast in front of the City God's Seat 'take a look', what is the background of this young man? His face is very big.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Li Xuan couldn't help but shook his head slightly in disappointment: "Let's go back."

"What about these dragon bone soups?" Li Dalu mentioned a large basket in his hand: "How about putting it here?"

This thing is really tiring for him, it weighs more than a hundred kilograms, and it is more than ten miles from Uncle Chengyi's Mansion in the south of the city to here.

"Why are you putting it here? Of course you are taking it back to eat!" Li Xuan glared at his long follower: "It cost two hundred taels of silver. The most authentic dragon bone soup in Sanweiju. Even if General Tingtian doesn't like it, he can't do it. wasted."

Ordinary dragon bone soup is certainly not worth the price of two hundred taels, even if it is made by a world-renowned chef. But the dragon bone in this soup comes from a horned crocodile. It is a crocodile with horns, and its body is similar to the Nile crocodile. Because it is a dragon descendant, it is a demon at birth, so it is a real "dragon bone soup".

There are still quite a lot of horned crocodiles in this world. In ancient times, there was no idea of ​​animal protection. On the contrary, because of these monsters, many people were killed along the river, and there were shouts of beating and killing everywhere.

Therefore, there are monks who specialize in hunting horned crocodiles and sell them to restaurants in major cities. One tail can be sold for two to three thousand taels.

Li Xuan couldn't help feeling that the dragons in this world were quite undignified. They were either ridden or eaten.

"Take it back? But Master God will be angry." Li Dalu pouted, feeling that his young master was very uncouth, but then he sighed softly and walked out again with the basket in hand.

But just as the two of them walked out of the City God's Temple, they saw a mastiff flying in the air: "Li Xuan, you are so unreasonable. You have sent this bone soup to me, and you still want to take it back. It's so insincere." , Too unrestrained, too unworthy of a son of a man.”

Li Xuan suddenly felt happy, thinking that the information provided by Le Qianqian was indeed correct. This mastiff under the City God really couldn't resist the delicacy of dragon bone soup.

He signaled Li Dalu to put down the basket, and Tingtian Mastiff unceremoniously lifted the lid off and took a sip first.

"Sure enough, it is made by the chef of Sanweiju. It is really delicious——"

Tingtian Mastiff's face showed a look of enjoyment: "Is there any wine? Did you bring wine? This dragon bone soup does not contain wine, and it still lacks some flavor."

Li Xuan smiled and took out two porcelain bottles from his sleeves: "They are both 'Huanglong Zui' from Sanweiju. It is said that the output is limited. I spent more than a hundred taels and could only buy two bottles."

"That's enough."

Tingtian Mastiff was overjoyed. He opened his mouth and sucked a ball of wine from the porcelain bottle into his mouth. His expression became even more intoxicated: "Master Mastiff, I never tire of fine food and fine food. This combination is just right. If you bring a big vat of ordinary rice wine, Come on, I'm not used to it."

It ate and drank like crazy, and quickly ate most of the bones in the dragon bone soup. Then this person looked at Li Xuan with a stern expression and said with some embarrassment: "I know why you are here, but I really can't help you with what you want to ask."

Li Xuan frowned and said in disbelief: "How could it be possible? With all your abilities, Brother Mastiff, you don't know the origin and whereabouts of the female ghost behind me?"

"I know it, but I don't dare to say it."

Tingtian Mastiff's face turned bitter, and he twitched his tail: "If I tell you, there will be endless troubles. Not only may my life not be saved, but my master will also be implicated."

"Endless disaster? Is it that serious?"

Li Xuan inexplicably remembered a famous scene in Journey to the West, where the fighting Buddha fought with the six-eared macaque, and together they got in front of Ksitigarbha Buddha and asked Ksitigarbha Buddha's mount to listen carefully to distinguish the true from the false.

What I heard in the end was, "Although he has a name, he cannot be revealed to his face, nor can he be helped to capture him." He also said, "If you say it to your face, you might be afraid of evil spirits and disturbing the palace. UU read a book www.uukaｎshu." ｎnet makes the underworld uneasy’, and in the end they can only let these two go to find Tathagata Buddha together——

Could it be that this disaster is so big that even the City God cannot contain it?

"You really can't say anything? Then you can recommend someone to me who can say it, right?"

"None of this. Do you think the origin of the person behind you is simple? How can he be like an emperor without experiencing extraordinary things?" Tingtian Mastiff shook his head decisively and said: "Actually, there are some people in Jinling City who are like this. People with magical powers. But are you sure you want to go find them? That’s like a sheep entering a tiger’s mouth, and a meat bun will hit me, and there will be no return.”

Li Xuan could only retreat and do the next best thing: "Then Brother Mastiff can teach me a few ways to save my life?"

"No." Perhaps because he was worried that Li Xuan would fall out, Tingtian Mastiff held the last bone in his mouth and said in a vague voice: "I'm just a dog, don't think of me as a god."

Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh: "That's all, I originally wanted to give you a golden body, Brother Mastiff, but now it seems that I can save this money."

"You guys only have this little bit of talent."

Tingtian Mastiff glanced at Li Xuan with disdain: "Don't even think about using this trick. With my ability to listen carefully, I don't know how many people want to build a golden body for me? But I don't lack incense or a golden body. Disdain to pay attention!"

Li Xuan thought that he was right. The ability of this Tingtian Mastiff was like a 24-hour surveillance camera covering the entire city. Anyone who meets this person will probably have to pay tribute.

He could only bow his hands to Tingtian Mastiff with great regret: "Li is concerned about his own life and is in a hurry. Please don't blame me if your words offend me."

But just when he was about to leave, he heard the Tianmastiff suddenly shout "Wait a minute"!

When Li Xuan turned around, he found that the Tingtian Mastiff was looking at a certain part of his body with burning eyes.
