Chapter 16: Fox hunting

At that time, Artest and Qiu Yongsi had already chased them out one by one. After seeing the other two women escaped Pingkangli, they split their heads and ran away. Each turned into a fox body in the East City, one invested in the Dark East City and the other jumped. On the roof, he fled south, like an arrow into the dark night, disappearing without a trace.
Artest and Qiu Yongsi came out of the alley, a quick stop, Li Jinglong, Hong Jun and Mo Rigen chased, waiting for the two of them to speak, Li Jinglong said: "You chase the one on the high place, we chase the one below, hurry!"
Artest and Qiu Yongsi went to the roof and chased away.
Li Jinglong, Hong Jun and Mo Rigen ran to the deepest part of the East Market, which was closed at night.
Leaning in the poem column, the carp demon ran in, and the people were still shaking, a guest shouted: "Go and call the dragon martial army patrolling the city ..."
The carp demon drilled in the crowd and shouted: "After the clouds!"
After saying that it took a poke from that kit and spread it again and again, the pollen spreading away from the soul, and the people around him instantly were a sneeze.
"Ha-sneeze!"
"Everything is empty!"
The carp demon jumped towards the case in the middle of the hall again, and sprinkled the pollen from the soul.
"Ha-sneeze!"
Immediately afterwards, the carp demon jumped up and down the third floor from the stairs, shook off the kit, and poured the last away soul pollen into the hall.
"Everything!"
"Ha-sneeze!"
"Everyone eats, drinks, and has fun, I will go--"
The carp demon drilled out of the window, Xun Hongjun and others joined together and ran away.
There was silence in the east city, and no fingers were reached.
Li Jinglong asked in a low voice: "Can you feel the enchantment now?"
Hong Jun replied in a low voice: "It's too far away, it's almost out of sight, just before there was a flash of light there." Immediately pointed at somewhere.
Mo Rigen's eyes were fixed on the darkness, and Li Jinglong asked, "Can you see?"
Mo Rigen frowned deeply: "I can't see it, it's too dark."
Mo Rigen's eyesight is excellent, the arrows on the back are hardened in steel, and the seven arrows with stud heads engraved with runes. When the sky is high in the desert grassland, one arrow can hit a thousand miles of flying birds. But in this dark market, his eyesight can't be displayed.
"It seems ... to be there." Hong Jun turned to the other side, his eyes full of doubts.
"Long history." Mo Rigen patted Li Jinglong's arm and said, "Your sword ... is it glowing?"
Li Jinglong withdrew the long sword and headed for the direction pointed by Hong Jun. The runes on the long sword shone with light and lit up. Both Hong Jun and Mo Rigen were full of surprise for a moment.
Holding a long sword, Li Jinglong turned to another angle, and the light on the sword became brighter, and then dimmed again.
"What do you mean?" Hong Jun asked curiously.
"This sword can either sense demon spirit, or it can sense your flying knife." Li Jinglong replied, he began to move the sword to the left and to the right. The luminous frequency of the sword body slowly followed his movements, and then followed Li Jinglong turned slowly in a fan shape, maintaining a steady light.
"This fox is circling." Li Jinglong said, "Escape from the east city with twists and turns, outstrip it!"
As the words fell, the three of them spread out and headed out in three directions. The fox is the most cunning. Besides being a demon, Li Jinglong is afraid that if he is scrupulous, he can't be escaped again, and he has to lose Hongjun a flying knife, and he immediately orders mercilessly if necessary.
Artest and Qiu Yongsi chased along the roof all the way. Artest ran out of breath and said, "Brother Qiu, please go first, let me relax for a while."
Qiu Yongsi looked confused: "I'll accompany you, well I don't catch demon."
Artest: "..."
Artest didn't know what to do, so he had to run away and said, "How come this long history came out once and for all? I didn't say good things before ..."
"Hey." Qiu Yongsi reached out and took Artest to jump over the roof. "I think this kid named Li is very smart. The thought is useless, and the plan will never catch up with the change. The corpse, the fox in the hall is unprepared, and it will show its tail. We have checked for so long, have we found nothing? "
"But come here." Artest gasped. "He just got upset, and his life wouldn't be any better."
"Mo shouldn't worry about eating salty carrots." Qiu Yongsi smiled, "Maybe people have long thought about it?"
"I don't think so," Artest said.
"Hey, there!"
"Hurry up and catch up."
Flying knife's light flashed, and the two immediately chased along the roof.
The fox with a flying knife on his shoulders staggered, fleeing slower and slower, its escape route along the east city, opened up most of the fan-shaped area, but Mo Zhigen and Hong Jun have been silently concealed, It blocked its way. Just wait for Li Jinglong to release the signal, and then act immediately.
The fox seemed to feel danger, sniffed into the air, and stopped.
In an instant Li Jinglong rushed, silently waving a sword in the darkness, and the fox pulled back suddenly, roared, and smoke came out of his mouth!
Immediately afterwards, another arrow broke into the sky and shot into the mist. The fox couldn't escape but saw a bright light, and only heard the woman's voice shouting: "Shameless mortal! It's too deceiving! I'm hindering you ?! "
"Killing to kill someone's life." Li Jinglong said coldly, "Is Changan your place of rampage ?!"
The fox rushed out of the fog, his figure had become a foot tall, popped claws, and flew towards Li Jinglong!
Li Jinglong immediately raised his sword to block, and the sound of "Zheng" was knocked to the ground instantly! He had never imagined that the fox demon could become so huge. It seems that the monster is bold and courageous, so he just wanted to bring them in. The real purpose is to kill them here!
Mo Zhigen's arrow came flying and nailed to the shoulder of the fox, but this fox demon was just the one who set fire to the dead body in the poem. !
Its eyes turned into a blood red, and flames spewed out of his mouth. When he was about to burn Li Jinglong into coke, Hong Jun rolled over and shook the five colors of light, covering both of them! The flame recoiled in an instant, and the fox demon burned his face with the fire he spit out, roaring with pain!
As soon as the flames went out, the fox demon knocked over the stalls in the silent and unremarkable market. Li Jinglong hugged Hongjun with his backhand and took him on the spot, avoiding the collapsed stalls.
"Long history!" Mo Rigen rushed short.
"I draw its attention, you take its heart." Li Jinglong threw a sentence, and walked out from the collapsed stall.
Hong Jun and Mo Rigen hid under a rubble and looked out. I saw Mo Zhigen's arrow and Hong Jun's flying knife on the shoulder of the fox demon. They stood up and seemed to have exhausted their physical strength.
Hong Junsheng was afraid that it would spit fire again, his right hand flicked the last flying knife, and his left hand was shrouded in five-colored light, ready to send a knife at any time. Mo Rigen slapped Hong Jun freely and walked away lightly.
The fox demon could not hold his breath and looked directly at Li Jinglong. At that moment, Hong Jun was extremely nervous.
Li Jinglong was not afraid. He stepped forward with his sword and said coldly: "Demon, the Tang Dynasty Exorcist has withered for fifty years. Today, as long as this sword is there, Chang'an is not your place to be arrogant!"
After finishing speaking, Li Jinglong pointed the sword in his hand towards the fox demon, and the fox demon had a flying knife on his body, and the bright light was on! The fox demon sneered: "Is it really my own? May I tell you, Chang'an is no longer your land of human race, waiting to see ..."
Mo Rigen stood at the end of Dongshi, standing on the top of a pile of wood, and pulled it away with a bow and arrow.
Hong Jun clenched his flying knife tightly, his palm full of sweat.
Li Jinglong was stunned, but at this moment, the fox demon raised his teeth, rushed towards Li Jinglong, and his claws reflected the night light. As long as he was caught, he would have to break his stomach.
Li Jinglong swayed his long sword and leapt backwards. It was at this time that the sound of the horseshoe was near. A team of Longwu Army soldiers arrived and shouted at the head of the head: "Who is arrogant at night!"
Mo Rigen immediately closed the arrow, Hong Jun turned his head immediately, Li Jinglong jumped back, but the fox demon saw the opportunity, and swung his tail towards the Longwu soldiers who came! Li Jinglong roared: "Run!"
Upon seeing this huge fox, the guards of the Longwu Army thought that they were in a dream, and they were greatly shocked in an instant. When they had not recovered, the fox demon had rushed to the team and suddenly turned back. Li Jinglong immediately caught up, jumped along the back of the fox demon, and stab the fox demon's neck with a sword!
The horses ran around and fleeed. The Dragon Guards fell to the ground. Li Jinglong shouted, "Run!"
The guards fled away with a roll, the fox demon was stabbed in the back of the neck, roared loudly, and turned around again, tipping Li Jinglong to the ground, Hong Jun could not aim several times, I am afraid it hurt Li Jinglong , The flying knife is difficult to shoot, and when the fox demon claws are caught, Hongjun only needs to wait a moment to get the knife, but he ca n’t ignore Li Jinglong ’s life. go with.
"Leave me alone!" Li Jinglong shouted.
His sword was stuck on the back of the fox demon, and he had no weapons in his hand. He grabbed a long martial arts rifle, and the mortal soldier was caught in half. When Li Jinglong was almost about to be ripped open, the peacock flew up, bursting out several divine lights, and "Zheng Zheng" blocked the claws of the fox demon several times.
Immediately afterwards, Hongjun shouted, "Look!" The flying knife spun out and Li Jinglong leaned back, but the demon had already prepared, knowing that Hongjun was waiting for a sneak attack, and one turned over, letting the flying knife plunge into his belly Ignoring and rushing towards Hongjun!
Li Jinglong immediately turned around and rushed to rescue, Hong Junfei dodged, and the magic weapon in his body had been scattered. After being caught by this, he will definitely be seriously injured!
Li Jinglong hugged Hongjun fiercely, pressed him down, and the two slid close to the ground, avoiding the body that the fox demon threw.
At the next moment, another giant beast appeared, howling at the wolf, both of them were surprised, and another pale grey wolf appeared at the market! The behemoth had a head and feet tall, but compared with the fox, it was much smaller. It fell from the side roof, biting the fox's side neck, and the fangs plunged deep into it!
"What is this?" Hong Jun was shocked.
"Take advantage of it!" Li Jinglong shouted.
Hong Jun instantly regained his mind, his fingers flicked with his hands, two flying knives burst out with the blood of the fox demon, spilled the blood of the sky, flew away, and returned to his fingers.
The fox demon flew over their heads, followed by Hong Jun holding a flying knife in each hand and spreading both hands together.
"in!"
The lights of the two flying knives flickered, with ice and flame traversing a short distance, brushing in front of Li Jinglong, bringing up a few strands of hair, "Woo" with a sound at the heart of the fox demon's chest! The ice burst, the flames burned, and the fox demon's heart burst into a scorched blood hole, and ice crystals hung around him!
It was still in midair, still struggling, the blood-red light dimmed in his eyes, the body shrank rapidly, and the sound of "Woo" became a little fox in the mouth of the giant wolf, with two flying knives and counting arrows The sword and the sword landed one after another.
The giant wolf "poo" spit out the little fox, quietly watching Hongjun and Li Jinglong.
Li Jinglong pulled Hong Jun up, and Hong Jun suddenly said, "Is it Morigen?"
The giant wolf made a "Leng" sound, the wolf mouth grinned slightly, and there seemed to be a smile in his eyes.
The guards of the Longwu Army were shocked and stood up. Li Jinglong and Zhao Hongjun signaled that the matter here would be discussed later.
"Li Xiaowei!" Everyone greeted each other, the expression was obviously different from that of Li Jinglong when he was in the Dragon Martial Army. There are still many of his former subordinates.
Li Jinglong asked one by one and confirmed that no one was injured. He looked back at Hongjun and asked, "What about the fish? Smell them away from the pollen."
The carp demon then dragged a kit and said, "It's gone."
Li Jinglong: "..."
"Wow! Goblin--!" Everyone was terrified again.
"Thirty-two hundred and two silvers! It's gone once ?!" Li Jinglong suddenly had no image.
The carp demon busyly argued: "You smoked three or two halves last time, and there are less than eight dollars left in the bag ..."
Li Jinglong remembered it and had to stop. Everyone saw Li Jinglong scolding a monster and was immediately shocked.
"Don't say anything except Hu Commander tonight." Li Jinglong had to tell him, "Tomorrow I will go to the Longwujun to personally report it. If there is a noise later, notify the brethren, don't care. "
Everyone nodded their heads. Li Jinglong didn't know if it could work. He had to admit that he was unlucky, and then he would try to remedy it.
"So ..."
After Long Wujun left, Li Jinglong looked at Hong Jun and the giant wolf and said, "I see, there is no injury."
Both were okay. Hong Jun just scratched his elbow when he fell to the ground. Hong Jun was the first such fierce battle since he hit the mountain. He had n’t recovered from the moment.
At this time a fireball rose in the distance, like a firework, everyone immediately turned their heads.
"Caught." Li Jinglong said, "Go."
"You ride on my back." Mo Rigen's phantom wolf saw that Hong Jun was a little tired, and he said, "I will take you there."
Hongjun rode on the back of the blue wolf and was ran to the north with it. Li Jinglong followed behind and walked quickly.
"Mo Rigen?" Hong Jun asked in a low voice.
"Huh?" The blue wolf stopped and turned back a little.
Hong Jun motioned it to continue and asked, "Are you a demon?"
"That's right," the gray wolf replied. "There haven't been any people in the clan who have had a change in the gray wolf for nearly a hundred years. I don't know what I count. Don't tell Artai.
The blue wolf didn't seem to want Li Jinglong to hear too much. When he arrived at a courtyard, he jumped, jumped onto the courtyard wall, and jumped onto the roof.
It was the time when the dark clouds of Chang'an gradually opened and the moonlight shone brightly. The blue wolf carried the young man and ran silently along the roof.
"You won't come to collect me?" The wolf said suddenly.
Hong Jun laughed, leaned closer to his ear, and said, "Half of me is also a demon clan."
"Huh?" The wolf seemed very surprised, shaking his ears, and said, "But I don't think you are like it."
"My father is only ..."
"Hush." ​​The wolf replied, "No need to say more. My father said that there is no difference between demon and man, only good and evil."
The blue wolf stopped and stood on the roof, looking around, finding the blood on the ground and finding the direction.
"Hong Jun." The wolf asked again, "Have you ever seen a glowing white deer?"
Hong Jun said, "He used to live on Taihang Mountain. There were many deer, but he had never seen the white deer described by the blue wolf. After answering, the gray wolf stopped talking.
"When I came to Chang'an, the main purpose was to find it." The blue wolf said, "If there is a white deer's whereabouts, remember to remind me ..."
After Mo Zhigen became a wolf, he wore a leather shoulder strap, bow and quiver. The wolf was not easy to ride on the back. Hongjun nearly slipped a few times, only to grip the strap tightly.
In the distance, the light flashed continuously, and was close to the imperial city. The blue wolf let Hongjun come down, slowly stood up, and changed back to Morigen. Hong Jun was still looking back at Li Jinglong. Li Jinglong did not know where to get the horse. He drove over and took a short cut to catch up with the two.
"Here's coming!" Qiu Yongsi and Artai are outside a wall.
Hong Jun asked: "What about my flying knife?"
Artest looked innocent, pointing inside.
Qiu Yongsi said: "We injured it with a fireball, but it jumped into the palace ..."
Artest: "I hurt it with a fireball, Brother Qiu, you didn't do anything at all!"
"... We dare not chase it in haste." Qiu Yongsi explained again, "I'm afraid I'm going to make trouble for Long History, so I'll ask you when you come."
Li Jinglong also arrived, turned over and dismounted, and learned that the fox had fled into the palace, and was immediately blinded.
"You ..." Li Jinglong was almost alive and dead, "Can all be escaped like this?"
"I haven't escaped yet." Artest said, "Just go in and get you back?"
The fox demon fled into the palace, how to find such a big Xingqing palace? Li Jinglong frowned deeply and looked at Artest and Qiu Yongsi. The two just showed a smile and seemed to be indifferent to each other. At that moment Li Jinglong understood their intentions and nodded meaningfully—
The soldiers are divided into two roads, one of them fled to Dongshi, is to lure them to the enemy. The other one flees to a place where there might be a rescuer, that is to say, this rescuer is in the palace? Artest and Qiu Yongsi apparently did not give up, but just trailed all the way to see where it was going.
In other words, there is a possibility that monsters will also be lurking in the palace.
But Hongjun's flying knife was still nailed to the fox demon, and if he promised him something, he would have to manage it.
Countless thoughts turned in Li Jinglong's mind, but his ear suddenly caught a very subtle sound.
At night, all the sounds were silent, the insects of the late autumn disappeared, and Chang'an did not start to wind. It was nearly a hundred steps away. The sound was especially clear, but the fox was hiding on the eaves of the rear hall of the Xingqing Palace, and the flying knife touched the tile The sound of the film.
Hong Jun was about to speak, but Li Jinglong made a "hush" gesture, listening quietly and hearing a series of fine sounds.
"It didn't go far, so it hid on the roof of the apse and was pulling your flying knife." Li Jinglong whispered, "I heard it."
"It's useless." Qiu Yongsi shook his head. "As soon as it got close to it, it ran away. The fox demon is too fine. If something happens in the palace, it can't be fixed."
Li Jinglong released the bow on his back, and everyone looked at him with surprise.
"My arrow is a mortal soldier, and it's impossible to kill the demon." Li Jinglong said to Morigen, "Use your arrow to use it."
Morrigan was unbelievable and said, "Can you shoot?"
Since Hong Jun played flying knives, he naturally knew how difficult it was. The voice of Li Jinglong said that the other four people could not hear anything at all, but even if there were one hundred steps away, Hong Jun would never be able to catch a knife by listening of.
"Try it." Li Jinglong gently pulled the long bow in the darkness.
He tilted his head and tried to distinguish the voices beyond a hundred steps. In a short time, his riding technique was one-of-a-kind, and he often boasted after General Li Guang, who had passed away for so many years. He didn't have a chance to go to the battlefield, and he usually regarded the performance-style shooting skills as a monkey play to be seen by Daguan Guizhou.
Over time, his skill has long been unmentioned, and Li Yuanyuan's inability to prove himself has become the laughing stock of Chang'an.
He was also very nervous at the moment, and the hand that opened the bow was still trembling slightly.
On the top of the rear hall of Xingqing Palace, the fox demon seemed to feel dangerous, looking at the endless darkness behind the high wall, lifting his paws and receding back slightly.
"Go back first." Hong Jun whispered in the dark, "I can find it, long history, I still have two, it doesn't bother me."
Li Jinglong took a deep breath, opened the long bow again, looked sideways at Hongjun, and looked at him. At this moment, the sound of tiles collided in his ears.
In an instant Li Jinglong decisively loosened his strings!
An arrow flew silently, breaking through the remaining willows in the palace, with a clear sound, withered leaves flying, rising like a meteor, flying over a hundred steps away, the fox outside a hundred steps was silent, quilted Shot in the abdomen and ejected blood.
After a long absence of sorrow, Li Jinglong sighed tiredly, and when he looked at Hongjun again, there was guilt in his eyes.
"I haven't practiced in a long time, my hands are born." Li Jinglong frowned deeply, his eyes full of anxiety, and only wanted to break his bow in half.
Everyone is about to comfort Chang Shi when you have done well tonight--
The fox rolled down along the roof of the temple.
There was a sound of water in the apse pond.
"Mid?" Mo Zhigen shocked.
"Mid." Hong Jun said, "I went in to find."
Hong Jun immediately threw out the hook and turned into the courtyard wall. Everyone stared at Li Jinglong, speechless for a moment.
"Come out as soon as you find it!" Li Jinglong asked.
After a while, Hongjun turned over and threw out the third fox, only to see it passed by the arrow through his right chest, and he was dying. Li Jinglong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "You promised you will get the flying knife back."
Li Jinglong had never laughed in front of everyone. Such a smile made the atmosphere a little embarrassing. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Artai and Qiu Yongsi were not able to accept what happened that night.
"You smile pretty, long history." Hong Jun smiled, "Don't always keep your face down."
Li Jinglong coughed unnaturally and said coldly: "Let's go, go back and discuss again."
Everyone followed Li Jinglong back to Exorcism Division.
