Picking up a greedy snake [Liao Zhai]

Chapter 95 Huang Jiulang

Gu Yu reluctantly followed Gu Huai out the door.

The two of them came to the foot of a fairy mountain in the north of Taiyuan City and looked up.

The mountain was not very high, like a small hill protruding from the flat ground, but the location of the top of the mountain was hidden in a cloud of mist, and the whole mountain was covered with a faint halo.

Gu Huai was holding a slaughtered chicken in his hand, which was a tribute to the leader of the fox clan.

Gu Yu shuddered, and said tremblingly: "I said, second brother, you can't go anywhere if you want to climb a mountain. Why do you have to come here? It looks weird."

"Brother doesn't know something. I came here to ask the fox fairy Xin Shishiniang to answer the doubts in my heart."

Gu Yu nodded.

In their time, Xin Shishi Niang has become a fairy widely loved by the people.Whether the local people are seeking peace, wealth, or marriage, they will go to the temple of the Fourteen Niangs to worship and pray.

If there is any more urgent request, I will bring the tribute to this fairy mountain and visit it in person.

Of course, not everyone can step into this fairy mountain.The layer of halo wrapped around the mountain is actually a layer of enchantment, which will keep the dishonest people and those with bad conduct out of it.

Therefore, those who covet Fourteen Niang's beauty and want to go up the mountain to feast their eyes on an excuse, will not be able to step in because of the barrier.

Gu Huai took a deep breath and led Gu Yu through the barrier.

There were people walking in twos and threes on the mountain road, all carrying tributes such as chickens, ducks and rabbits. It seemed that they all came to meet Xin Shishiniang to pray for blessings and solve doubts.

A fairy boy with a double bun led the two of them to sit down in a gazebo and waited, saying that he would come to summon them later.

Gu Huai smiled and asked Gu Yu: "It's hard to come here, do you have any wishes that you want Fourteen Niang to fulfill for you?"

Gu Yu raised his head and thought for a while, then replied: "I want my body to recover quickly. It's not a problem to walk now, but my right hand still doesn't make much strength."

As Gu Yu said, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed it a few times in the air, but found that he couldn't even clench his fist, so he dropped his hand in frustration.

Gu Huai then asked, "What do you want to do after your brother recovers?"

Gu Yu smiled: "Marry a beautiful daughter-in-law... Hey, by the way, you are not young anymore, when will our father marry you?"

Gu Huai shook his head and said, "Brother, you don't have to worry so much about me."

Halfway through the conversation, the fairy boy who had just left floated leisurely and summoned the two of them to enter.

The two of them looked at each other, walked side by side into the main hall ahead, and passed by a crooked old man on crutches.

Gu Huai held the tribute with both hands, placed it lightly on the high platform in front of him, and then led Gu Yu to kneel down on the cushion.

In front of the main hall sat a woman in a white robe, with a pitiful expression and an unbelievably beautiful look.That woman was Xin Shishiniang who Gu Huai came to ask to see.

Xin Shishiniang said leisurely: "Why did you two come to meet Bengong, let's talk about it."

Gu Yu was stunned by the powerful aura, and knelt there dumbfounded, unable to say a word.

Gu Huai took a deep breath, and loudly shouted clearly: "Go back to your mother, Xiaosheng is here to complain!"

As soon as these words came out, the people in the hall were all startled, even the old man who just walked by hunched over couldn't help turning his head to look at him.There was a flash of surprise on Xin Shishiniang's expression, but she quickly regained her composure.

She asked, "Oh? Who are you suing?"

"Huang Jiulang of the fox clan abused fox tricks to confuse the common people, please be aware of it."

The hall fell into a suffocating silence.Xin Shishiniang recruited a few fairy boys, whispered for a while, and asked Gu Huai: "He... who is confusing?"

"Ms. Hui, it is my good friend, Wang Huacheng, the young master of Yanzhuang in Taiyuan. Now my good friend has acquired fox magic, and is fascinated by the fox demon Huang Jiulang, and Huang Jiulang is not sincerely willing to befriend him. , just to take advantage of his feelings. I was worried that if my friend made a wrong move, he would be doomed, so I came here to ask the empress how to resolve it."

Xin Shiniang said again: "Although Huang Jiulang said that he didn't do it very kindly, he didn't violate the clan rules. As the patriarch, I have no right to impose punishment on him."

Gu Huai asked again: "Then, is there any way to undo the fox trick?"

Xin Shishiniang sized up Gu Huai, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Yes, there is, but you are a mere mortal body, even if I tell you how to get rid of it, you probably still can't do anything about it."

When Gu Huai heard the other party say that the fox technique can be removed, his eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly knelt down on the ground and bowed his head: "I beg your mother to tell me!"

Xin Shishiniang sighed, and said: "Forget it, seeing your sincerity, I might as well tell you. After getting off this fairy mountain, go north for another twenty miles, and you will reach a fox mountain."

"Fox Mountain?"

"That's right, that's the place where our fox clan survives and multiplies. I was born there. On the top of the Fox Mountain, there is a huge pomegranate tree. The pomegranate fruit on it can dispel all fox spells. You go pick it." Come, let your friend eat it."

When Gu Huai heard this, he excitedly gave Xin Shishi Niang a few more heads, and said, "Thank you, Ma'am!"

"Don't thank me first. You know, the fox clan has a very strong sense of territory. And the clan rules stipulate that killing mortals who violate the territory is not against the clan rules. Every year, many people step into Fox Mountain, but they never A mortal came out alive. Knowing this, do you still want to go?"

Seeing that Gu Huai was a little surprised and hesitant, Xin Shishiniang said, "My palace has pointed out the way for you. If there is nothing else, please go back."

Gu Huai and Gu Yu stood up, bowed to Fourteen Niang, turned and left.

On the way back, Gu Yu kept asking Gu Huai: "Second brother, what are you talking about about Wang Huacheng having a fox trick? You don't really want to pick fruits for him, don't let it get you too busy thinking about it." , our father is only our two sons, if you are gone, he will be so sad!"

Gu Huai didn't answer Gu Yu, but just walked quickly, looking preoccupied.

Gu Yu chased after him with difficulty, and asked again: "Hey, don't you have a friend who is a fairy, named Lan... What's the matter with Lan? You ask him to help you."

Gu Huai stopped abruptly, with deep sorrow in his eyes, he said, "He... he's been busy recently, so he probably won't have time to help me."

Seeing that Gu Huai looked like he was about to cry, Gu Yu panicked and said, "Hey, what's your expression? What's the matter, you two have a conflict? Aren't you two on good terms? That bastard bullied you ?”

Gu Huai sniffed, shook his head, calmed down, and said, "I don't know, I'll ask him when I get back... Let's see if he is willing to do me this favor."
