Chapter One The Fox Lady

　　A vast wasteland, uninhabited. 　　At a glance, on this yellowish land, apart from weeds and shrubs, there are grayish-white stones everywhere, of different sizes and shapes. 　　The blazing sun hangs in the sky, scorching the earth, and the sky is filled with yellow dust, fluttering. 　　Between the yellow sky and the earth, a thin and delicate figure gradually became clear, running hard towards the front. 　　This is a girl of about six or seven years old, goose yellow robe embroidered with light pink plum blossoms, a head of black hair into a double bun, a pair of dynamic eyes black, small nose under the mouth red, lining the entire face detailed and beautiful. 　　The girl's right hand tightly clutched a palm-sized rattle. 　　This rattle should be some years, both sides of the drum surface is somewhat yellow, painted with a few green snake pattern, connected to the two ears of the two projectiles up and down, from time to time fell on the drum surface, issued a few soft sounds. 　　The girl is not very old, the figure is quite agile, a few up and down, appeared in a man-high weeds in front of the open space. 　　Perhaps running in a hurry, her snow-white forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, and a line of sweat flowed down from her left cheek, straight into her white neck. 　　She stretched out her left hand and wiped it off, her taut round face flushed as if it was a ripe apple, but her footsteps didn't stop for a minute. 　　"Demon, where to run!" 　　Right at this moment, a man's stern cry suddenly came from the distance behind. 　　The girl's body trembled at the words, so scared that her face "swish" turned white, grasping the rattle's right hand lifted up, and turned vigorously, her lips opened and closed a few times. 　　Drum surface immediately flooded a layer of light green light, with the projectile fell on the drum surface issued a soft sound, a green light from the drum surface, fell in front of a tuft of weeds above. 　　The surface of the weeds was instantly flooded with a layer of green light, but the green light just flickered away, as if nothing had happened. 　　The girl's right hand rotated a few times in succession, and a green light flew out from both sides of the drum one by one along with the two pellets of the rattle drum, landing on top of the surrounding weeds, and a burst of green light rose and fell one after another. 　　After doing all this, the girl's face paled a few points, but it did not care about rest, busy head into the weeds ahead. 　　In the girl's figure did not enter the weeds not long, the rear more than ten feet away from a burst of dust, a figure sped to, appeared in front of the weeds. 　　The owner of the figure is a gnarled bearded man in his forties, tall in stature, carrying a brightly shining sword in one hand, looking quite a bit fierce and vicious. 　　Its eyes fell in front of the grass in front of the small footprints left behind, body shape a movement, is about to carry the knife rushed into. 　　As a result, at this time, the grass in front of a burst of green light shaking under, a shot out of five or six green snake out, have snake mouth wide open towards the gnarled bearded man biting hard. 　　Gnarled bearded man was first a stunned, and then the left hand quickly touched out a talisman towards the body a shot, a layer of white light cover emerged, while the right arm and then a shake, the hands of the knife buzzing sound, rushing forward a split. 　　Throttle! 　　A few feet long cold light from the knife rolled shot out, green light flashes, immediately there are three green snake was cut from a knife two cuts were split fly, then "bang bang" two sound, the remaining two green snake was also the white light cover on the man popped open, and in the big man knife light a roll, the same was chopped into two sections. 　　These green snakes were crushed by the gnarled bearded man in a single glance, and this showed its original form, which was actually a few clusters of green weeds. 　　The gnarled bearded man grunted, was about to continue to rush into the grass, suddenly face a move, will be a collection of plain sword stood in place. 　　Behind him came the sound of rustling, two figures came together. 　　One of the long and thin young Taoist, a gray robe looks a little tattered, hand a white horse tail duster, the other is a short and compact horse-faced man, face has a few bruises, hair looks messy. 　　"There's nothing wrong with the two fellow Daoists, right?" The gnarled bearded man looked back at the two of them and asked. 　　"This demon is worthy of being the daughter of a demon fox, it is really cunning, just now, fellow Daoist Qi and I chased after it in a hurry and accidentally got caught in the path, it's nothing serious. On the contrary, how did Daoist Yan stop here, where is that demon now?" The horse-faced man waved his hand and asked with some doubt. 　　The gnarled-bearded man did not speak, pointing towards the flush-high weeds in front of him, the slim footprints in front of the grass still clearly visible. 　　"Then what are we waiting for? Let's capture it in one go." Seeing this, the horse-faced man was about to rush into the grass. 　　"This demon has fled like this for a day and a night, I'm afraid that it's almost at the end of its rope, but it's good at using wood attribute illusions, so it's like a fish out of water in this grass, so I'm afraid that it's not a good idea to chase it in rashly." Daoist Qi's eyes narrowed slightly and said. 　　"Should we just let it escape like this? This demon is so cunning at such a young age, allowing it to reach adulthood would not be a scourge to the people." The horse-faced man hesitated slightly, but stopped his stance and said unwillingly. 　　"I and other righteous people, get rid of the demon to subdue the devil is obliged to, this demon fox has been found by the three of us, since we will not indulge the tiger to return to the mountain." The gnarled bearded man said with righteousness. 　　"Fellow Daoist Yan's words, it seems that he already has a countermeasure?" Daoist Qi asked with a twinkle in his eye. 　　"This area of grass is not small, if the three of us were to chase into it blindly like this, although we would eventually be able to capture this demon in hand, I'm afraid that we would still have to spend a lot of effort. I heard that you, Daoist Feng, purchased a fire cloud talisman not long ago, and you, Daoist Qi, can be said to have perfected the art of attracting wind, and when the two match, this grass will disappear, and this demon will have nothing to hide." The gnarled bearded man slowly said. 　　"The fire cloud talisman ...... is not impossible. But after catching this demon fox, the fur belongs to me, and I don't want anything else, how about it?" The horse-faced man pondered for a moment before saying. 　　"No, this demon fox must be captured alive." The gnarled bearded man shook his head and refused dryly. 　　"What do you mean, fellow Daoist Yan? This Fire Cloud Talisman of mine is a Primary Middle Grade, and it cost me a lot of my fortune." The horse-faced man's face sank, his voice suddenly chilling. 　　"Fellow Daoist Feng a little calm, if I'm not guessing wrong words, fellow Daoist Yan should be the Blood Sword Society outside the hall disciples, not long ago in the meeting but the task, if you can capture this demon fox, not only can become a disciple of the inner hall, but also can be awarded a rebuke blood Dan and a thousand spirit stone rewards, right." Daoist Qi looked at the gnarled bearded man with great meaning and said. 　　"I didn't expect Daoist Qi to be well-informed, he knows quite a lot about the affairs of our Blood Sword Society. If the two of you can help me capture this demon fox alive, all the spirit stone rewards will be equally divided between the two of you, how about it?" The gnarled bearded man rushed the two of them up and said without changing his color. 　　"Fellow Daoist Yan said so, the poor Taoist naturally has no opinion." The Daoist Qi slung the duster in his hand towards his arm casually. 　　"Since that's the case, let's do it without delay." The horse-faced man said, pulling out a talisman from his pocket, and after giving it a somewhat meaty look, he threw it toward the front and recited the words. 　　The surface of the talisman immediately flooded with a layer of red light, and then burst open, turning into a crimson flame, like a fire cloud, towards the lower weeds pressed down. 　　Whew! 　　Under the touch of the cloud of fire, the weeds below immediately burned furiously. 　　Seeing this, the monk with the surname Qi, after uttering an Infinite Heavenly Father in his mouth, he suddenly threw the duster in his hand violently outwards. 　　In an instant, "woo-woo" sound, a number of white wind emerged out of thin air, and fan-shaped toward the front of the spread. 　　The wind helps the fire, the fire borrows the wind, such as the waves of the general along the weeds quickly spread out, black smoke rolling in mid-air, grass ash flying horizontally. 　　The three gnarled bearded men stared at the sea of fire in front of them without blinking an eye. 　　"Over there!" Suddenly, Daoist Qi let out a chortle, his body had already shot out like an arrow, swept towards a certain place in front of him, and with a shake of the duster in his hand, the surface of the dust whisk glowed with a hidden green light. 　　Gnarled bearded man and horse-faced man heard, all is the spirit of a revitalization, immediately after the Qi surname Taoist monk rushed out. 　　Only to see twenty or thirty feet ahead, is being eroded by the sea of fire in the grass suddenly fled out a small figure, it is the girl who previously disappeared into the grass. 　　Just at this moment she, goose yellow robe has been torn in many places, white face is smoked black. 　　She previously stashed into this area of quite a wide range of weeds, in order not to make a sound, carefully in which to change the direction of progress, heard no sound behind them, thought I could breathe a sigh of relief, did not think that the other side actually burned to force themselves to show up. 　　The girl's face is taut, between the color is full of panic, without saying a word towards the front of the wildly run away, some panicked look, small mouth can not stop coughing. 　　As a result, it has not yet escaped far, only feel the cool wind behind, dense green silk emerged, toward the back of a volume and to. 　　Almost at the same time, the girl's head came "snorting" sound, a zhang Xu size of the dark net, towards the bottom of a cover and down. 　　The girl's eyes show the color of despair, but immediately after, its eyes fell in front of more than ten feet away from a small tree some withered, eyes slightly bright, bit his tongue. 　　"Caught it!" 　　The horse-faced man was the slowest, but after seeing the girl in front of him who had her path blocked by the gnarled bearded man and the Taoist priest surnamed Qi, he instantly showed a look of great joy. 　　Only to see a large area of green silk across a few feet to the front of a backwards roll, the girl tied up solidly, while above the black net also followed the cover down. 　　But at this moment, the girl can not move the figure of the green light flashes of collapsed away, turned into a withered small tree. 　　"Wood Transportation!" The gnarled bearded man and the Taoist priest surnamed Qi dropped down and looked at the changes in front of them, their faces sank. 　　"Over there!" The horse-faced man was busy pointing towards a short distance ahead. 　　Only to see that a withered small tree that was originally there transformed into a girl holding a rattle under a blur, and after glancing back, she turned around and grabbed the road towards the front. 　　"Chase!" 　　Perhaps because of the reason of urging the wood遁, the girl's face at the moment not even the slightest color of blood, footsteps have become floating, running stumbling, speed is greatly reduced, and the distance between the three people behind them quickly shortened. 　　"Ouch!" 　　The girl suddenly let out a cry of alarm, an inadvertent foot by a stone tripped, the whole person forward flung out, crashed in front of a slanting piece of foot high gray boulder, and fell heavily to the ground. 　　"Keep fleeing!" 　　Seeing this, the gnarled bearded man and the other three people slowed down their pace and slowly closed in on them in a horns position, and the horse-faced man even licked his tongue and said conspiratorially. 　　Three people joined forces, chased the girl almost a day and a night, along the way also ate a lot of each other's dark losses, at this moment in the heart of the natural some grievances, especially horse-faced man, but also for this ride into a fire cloud symbol. 　　The girl's body is small and delicate, at this moment in the three step by step approaching, the whole person is close to the boulder behind curled up into a ball, but a pair of eyes, at this moment is full of resentment. 　　Seeing the girl's face expression, the three people naturally do not put in the heart, but instead the horse-faced man took a step forward, raised a hand, said grimly: 　　"Although I can't kill you, but today I also want to teach you this demon a good lesson!" 　　Right at this moment, an unexpected scene happened. 　　Only to hear a "ka" sound! 　　The girl close to the surface of the ten feet high boulder, but a crisp crack countless cracks, a lot of small stones rustling rolled down, sprinkled in the girl's body hair, so that its body a jolt. 　　"Huh" 　　Horse-faced man saw this, mouth gently eeked, raised his right hand also hangs in mid-air did not fall, gnarled bearded man two people's attention is also temporarily removed from the girl, looked to the boulder behind it. 　　"Ka la" 　　Under the gnarled bearded man's trio's witness, the cracks on the boulder's surface spread rapidly like a spider web, and quite a few pieces of stone peeled off from the boulder and crashed to the ground. 　　"Ah." 　　The girl obviously didn't expect the boulder behind her to appear such abnormalities, and was so scared that she closed her eyes for a moment, clasping her head with both hands, not daring to move a muscle. 　　"Boom" sound, the boulder finally in a loud noise in inch broken open, large pieces of stone splash flying away, fell on the ground, set off a piece of yellow soil flying. 　　The gnarled bearded man three are startled, face with a warning color slightly back a few steps, but eyes still staring at the direction of the boulder. 　　"What ...... is this?" The horse-faced man's face moved, and he called out in some consternation. 　　Through the dust that was gradually settling, it could be realized that the original boulder was gone, and in its place, was the figure of an unusually tall man. 　　This person is dressed in green, hair and face covered with a layer of gray lime, seems to be in the boulder before the appearance, vaguely discernible face ordinary, skin slightly black, eyes looking straight ahead, looks a little wooden sluggish, but the whole person than the gnarled bearded man is also higher than a head to. 　　This sudden scene, let the girl and the gnarled bearded man three people are all dumbfounded up.
