Chapter 10 Catching Demons (1)
When he arrived at the inn, Chu Yinghong immediately began to carefully explain the division of labor between each person.
Of course, the catching monsters was handed over to three adults, and the children were only responsible for the tinders and other miscellaneous tasks. Yu Sifeng came to Lutai Mountain and gave him the task of seeing the map to guide the way. Zhong Minyan and several hunters were responsible for the tinders and throwing salt bags, and he also did the important task of throwing vinegar on Tengu.
"What about me?" Xuan Ji listened for a long time and didn't say anything about her, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Chu Lei glanced at her indifferently, "You just need to hide behind and watch. Don't run around."
It means she doesn't have to do anything? Xuan Ji's eyes shine. It's rare that her father is reasonable once, so she doesn't want anything to do!
Seeing the little girl's secretly happy, Chu Yinghong couldn't help but smile and shook her head, saying, "Of course Xuan Ji has something to do. You are responsible for applying honey to roast these two rabbits."
She threw Xuan Ji two rabbits that had not yet been peeled. They looked like they had just hunted, and blood beads were still condensed on their ears. Xuan Ji was startled and finally held the rabbit with a bitter face and asked, "Do I peel even the skin?"
"Yes. Come on, I'll give it to you." Chu Yinghongshu gave her two small ceramic bottles, and a red rope was tied to it.
Xuan Ji recognized it and couldn't help but say, "Ah, isn't this soft and crispy?"
Soft Scent is one of the homemade elixirs in Shaoyang Pie. It is quite strong in nature. Just put a small spoon in food or tea, which can make a person with the power of cultivation for more than ten years without the power of a chicken and can only recover after three days. It has no taste and color. Strangely, once added to the food and tea, it will emit a sweet fragrance and tempting appetite, so it is named Soft Scent.
Chu Yinghong smiled and said, "You, don't forget to add some ingredients when roasting rabbits. A bottle of soft crispy is enough to deal with a roasted rabbit."
Xuan Ji's mind showed a light and said, "Ah, it turns out that we are not eating roasted rabbits! Aunt Hong, the rabbit was prepared for those two demons, right?"
Chu Yinghong nodded, "Let's use these two rabbits to lead them out, so that we can take the initiative." Seeing Xuan Ji's head was not understanding, she kept numbing her head, and said softly: "Why call me Aunt Hong? Your sister Linglong even calls me Uncle Master."
Xuan Ji said calmly: "Because Uncle Master is not as good as Aunt Hong."
She was afraid that she could not understand the little girl's thoughts. Chu Yinghong laughed and carefully explained the task of catching monsters. Everyone went back to the room to sort out their things and set off when the hour of Hai arrived.
****
Lutai Mountain at night is harder than the daytime. Someone said that it is harder to climb over the entire Lutai Mountain than climbing the sky. From the foot of the mountain to the side of the mountain, there are rugged rocks and steep cliffs. If you are not careful, you will fall down. There are plants and trees on the mountainside, but there are not many other thorns, but there are so many thorns. The sky is dark and I can't see clearly. Often, I step on it and I feel bloody before I realize it is a large area of thorns.
Less than half an hour later, the porter carrying salt and vinegar behind him injured two people, but had no choice but to give up two bags of salt and a bucket of vinegar.
By the way, Zhong Minyan saw Xuan Ji's breathlessness when she saw that she was about to turn it down, and couldn't help but say, "Hey, are you really not able to have any internal skills? You are so tired!"
Xuan Ji shook her head, not knowing whether it was to admit it or not. She seemed so tired that she couldn't even speak.
"Wait! Don't go there!" Zhong Minyan saw her falling down toward a large area of thorns, and hurriedly reached out to hold her, "Let you not learn anything! Your physical strength is worse than that of ordinary people!"
She looked up in a daze. At that time, the moonlight was hazy, and her face looked blurry, as if it was covered with a thick layer of gauze. She only had two eyes, as bright as autumn water, and was incredibly bright. The fog inside was as bright as bright but not bright, and it was not like Chu Xuanji who usually used to be.
Zhong Minyan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reached out to touch her forehead gently, changing color and said, "You have a fever!"
Xuan Ji also touched her forehead and said softly: "I...I just feel very tired...I can't breathe...Is it a fever?"
Zhong Minyan remembered her wet all over. Everyone is a cultivator, and her body is much stronger than ordinary people, so no one cares about this. But Xuan Ji is different. She is just a half-baked immortal cultivator, afraid she can't even recite the complete mental method. She was wet and dragged it for a long time before changing it. No wonder she caught a cold and had a fever.
"You can't do this!" he said anxiously, "Go back! Catching monsters is not a joke. You are so weak, what if you are injured?"
Xuan Ji didn't say anything.
Someone in front of him was attracted by his yelling. Seeing that Xuan Ji's face was strange, Chu Yinghong immediately raised her hand and touched her forehead - "The girl is sick! The head of the sect, why not send her back?" She said worriedly.
Chu Lei looked up at Gao Shan who was not seen, and asked, "How long will it take to go?"
The leading Wang Liehu said: "It's almost done. If you climb over this slope, there is a large pond in front of you."
He sighed and looked back at Xuan Ji, with his eyes full of blame and love. The consequences of this young daughter being lazy and not practicing martial arts have finally come out. She dragged everyone back at such a critical moment. It is difficult to send someone to send her back at this time. If she encounters a demon on the way, there is only a way out.
He whispered, "Xuan Ji, hold on. It's coming soon."
She nodded and insisted on walking forward for two steps. Suddenly, Zhong Minyan behind her said anxiously: "Don't go there!"
When she was stunned, she felt a sharp pain under her feet - she was stepping on the thorns!
Suddenly, someone suddenly pulled her shoulders, and she was pulled back several steps by a strong force. The wound under her feet stepped on the ground, making her cry out loud.
"Take off your shoes." Chu Lei said with his youngest daughter in his arms and frowned.
Xuan Ji had a bitter face. She was possessed by a bad star today. Why did she come to her for all bad things? She grinned and threw off her shoes, and raised her feet as she spoke. Everyone saw that her snow-white soles were covered in blood and flesh. I don’t know how many holes she had been pierced. It hurts her even if I think about it.
"Master, let me see." Chu Yinghong walked over and looked at her wound carefully in the fire. Then she pulled out a slender tweezer from the cowhide bag behind her waist, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I'll help you pick out the thorns first."
Xuan Ji could only nod. She felt embarrassed herself. Dad was right. She knew nothing. She knew nothing. What she was best at was just dragging her back.
When she turned around, Zhong Minyan and Yu Sifeng were standing behind and looking at her, she whispered: "Sorry... I always cause trouble for you."
Zhong Minyan snorted. Due to Chu Lei, he could only murmur in a low voice: "You know you are in trouble..."
Chu Yinghong picked out the thorn for her, applied some medicine, and wrapped her feet tightly with her handkerchief, and said, "Xuan Ji is afraid she can't walk anymore, so she has to find someone to carry her on her."
Chu Lei said: "I'll do it."
She shook her head: "No. The three of us can't carry her. The demon will come out at any time. We should not be distracted."
As she said that, she turned around and waved to Zhong Minyan: "Minyan, come and carry your junior sister on your back. When you arrive by the pond later, you must be optimistic about the surroundings. I am afraid that the smell of blood will cause them to attack suddenly."
Zhong Minyan was unwilling to do it, but he couldn't refute his uncle's words, so he could only come over and gently carry Xuan Ji, whispering: "What a burden. If I had known you, you would stay in the inn and not come out, how great!"
Xuan Ji was both fever and injured, and now she was weak and leaned softly on his back. Hearing his complaint, she couldn't help but whisper: "It's my fault... Next time, I will stay in the inn obediently and won't come out."
Zhong Minyan has always been a soft-hearted person who is not hard-working. After hearing what she said, she couldn't get out the resentment in her stomach, so she had to whisper: "Where will be next time! I won't take you out in the future."
Xuan Ji was silent.
She leaned quietly on Zhong Minyan's back, and as he moved slightly, she suddenly remembered many things in her heart.
She never likes practicing, too lazy to practice martial arts, too lazy to meditate on vests, and thinks that it is very stupid. She always thought that she could stay in Shaoyang Peak forever, without leaving her home, and not be able to see the storm outside. But she never thought that one day, she would leave the protection of Shaoyang Peak and the care of her parents, just like this time, for this reason.
She just discovered that after leaving everything she relies on for survival, she could not know anything and understand nothing, which was really a trouble and burden. Everyone would say big talk. She could have been arrogant before and said that she could protect herself by herself. Now? Can she really protect herself?
Alas... she sighed in her heart.
What exactly should we do to be lazy and protect ourselves?
This is a serious question. She thought about it for a long time but couldn't find the answer.
Looking up at the bright moon in the sky, Xuan Ji felt confused for the first time. Everyone has something they pursue. Dad wants to practice and become an immortal, Linglong wants to dominate Shaoyang, Zhong Minyan wants to get his father's recognition... What about her? What is she?
She doesn't know.
