Chapter 643: Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio - Fairy 15
Before Ruyi took the initiative to look for the heart-digging monster, the other party had already set his eyes on her. As early as when Ruyi entered Guobei City, the little monsters among the people had already smelled the charming fairy spirit on Ruyi. Just one sniff made them feel refreshed. The little monsters could not imagine how much their cultivation would increase if they took a bite of it.
Late at night in the inn, Ruyi closed his eyes and meditated. Little monsters arrived one after another, trying to enter the room by prying the door or climbing through the window. These little monsters had no cultivation and even their transformation was not perfect. Ruyi didn't need to do anything at all. As soon as they entered the room, they were burned seriously by the light of merit emanating from Ruyi's body.
Some of the little monsters reacted quickly and ran away as soon as they realized something was wrong, thus saving their lives. However, those who reacted slowly lost their lives under the burning of the light of merit and turned back into their original forms.
After practicing for a night, Ruyi opened her eyes and the first thing she did when she got up was to absorb the light balls left by the little monsters who came to her house to die. As for those who escaped, Ruyi was not worried. She had a hunch that those escaped little monsters would bring her more benefits in the end.
There is a bamboo forest in the suburbs behind Guobei County, in which lives a young woman of extraordinary beauty, named Mei Niang. On the surface, Mei Niang is the mistress of the son of the wealthy Lin family in Guobei County, but in fact, Mei Niang is the murderer of the heart-digging case in Guobei County during this period - the fox demon Hu Mei Niang.
Early that morning, the little monster, who was also from the Hu family, fled to Mei Niang's residence with injuries all over his body. As soon as he saw Mei Niang, he panicked and asked for help.
"Aunt, aunt, save me. I am Si Niang, aunt!"
"Liu Niang, how did you get such serious injuries? Who hurt you?" Hu Meiniang looked at her niece Hu Liu Niang, whose whole body was burned in a horrible state. She was so angry that she couldn't maintain her beautiful face and revealed a foxy look.
Guobei County is the human county closest to Qingshan. Many monsters in Qingshan who cultivate by eating humans choose Guobei County as their first choice when they come down the mountain, and this is especially true for the Hu family, one of the three major families in Qingshan.
All the Taoist temples and Buddhist temples in Guobei County that had some real power were destroyed by the three major families of Qingshan and could not survive. To some extent, it can be said that Guobei County is a human circle where the monsters of Qingshan are kept.
"Everyone in Guobei County knows my Hu family, but there are people who dare to bully my Hu family monsters without knowing how to live or die!"
Under such circumstances, someone actually dared to hurt the Hu family's fox in Guobei County like this. Hu Meiniang's anger at being offended became more and more serious. "Tell me, Si Niang, who is the person who hurt you? I want to dig out his heart and taste it, and then tear his body into pieces and throw them to the younger generation to enjoy!"
"Aunt, it's not..." Hu Liuniang shook her head weakly, "It's not a human, it's..." Hu Liuniang's injuries were too severe, and she was about to die while speaking. Hu Meiniang hurriedly sent evil spirit into Hu Liuniang's body.
With the evil spirit injected by Hu Meiniang, Hu Liuniang's health really got a little better. After she forced herself to explain the situation, she completely died.
After learning about Ruyi's situation from Hu Liuniang, Hu Meiniang immediately guessed Ruyi's identity.
When Hu Meiniang heard that Hu Liuniang was not injured by Ruyi, but was accidentally injured because she was close to Ruyi's room, an expression of horror suddenly appeared on her face.
"Is that woman the innate spirit that the ancestor mentioned? How could she hurt Si Niang so badly just by the aura on her body?"
Hu Meiniang wanted to eat Ruyi, but she knew that she, a 200-year-old fox spirit, might not be able to deal with Ruyi. But if she contacted the ancestor, Hu Meiniang felt unwilling to do so. She had not forgotten the news that the ancestor had sent back before, saying that eating this fairy spirit would increase one's cultivation by a thousand years. Of course, Hu Meiniang was reluctant to give up such a good treasure.
"Chengdong Inn, huh..."
"Let's find some more little monsters to explore the way and see where the limit of the breath of the one who hurt Si Niang is."
Hu Meiniang finally chose the strategy of tricking the little monster into consuming Ruyi first and then reaping the benefits when it was almost consumed. However, what she didn't know was that the previous tree monster who had the same idea as her had completely disappeared from the world.
Ruyi didn't encounter any danger the whole day. Even when he wandered around the street, at most he only attracted a few fearless and lustful people. He didn't pick up any valuable merit balls. Ruyi was so angry that he beat up those fearless and lustful people before returning to the inn.
At night, before Ruyi could enter into meditation, the monsters came one after another as if they had made an appointment. Ruyi accepted all of them and opened the door to welcome them all.
Before long, he gained a lot of merit and was so happy that he completely forgot the depressed mood he had during the day.
"I didn't expect that there are so many little monsters in Guobei City. The fairy spirit is indeed a monster attractant." After absorbing the merit light ball of the tree demon grandma, Ruyi is no longer afraid of these little monsters who have been practicing for decades. No matter how many come, they are just delivering food to Ruyi. Ruyi only hates that they don't come in enough numbers.
Hu Meiniang hid downstairs in the inn and watched with her own eyes the little monsters that she had summoned and tricked into entering disappear one after another. The expression on her face became more and more solemn. She didn't expect that this big treasure would be so difficult to chew.
"It seems that now we can only ask the ancestor for help." Although she was unwilling, Hu Meiniang was not a stubborn monster. After confirming that Ruyi was difficult to deal with, Hu Meiniang left a little monster to keep an eye on Ruyi, and she rushed back to Qingshan at night to ask the ancestor for help.
Unexpectedly, when Hu Meiniang returned, she happened to meet Mr. Bai and Mrs. Huang, the two ancestors, who were discussing Ruyi's whereabouts at the residence of Hu family's ancestor Hu Si Niang. Although Hu Meiniang changed her words temporarily, her wandering eyes and lame excuses still made Mr. Bai and Mrs. Huang realize that something was wrong.
The two demons pretended to leave on the pretext of not wanting to disturb them, but then turned around and hid outside Hu Siniang's cave, concealing their breath and eavesdropping on the conversation between Hu Meiniang and Hu Siniang.
"Ancestor, the fairy has been found!"
"What?" Hu Siniang thought Hu Meiniang had something important to say, but she didn't expect it to be about the fairy. Hu Siniang, who had been able to remain calm, suddenly lost her composure. "Where is it? Where is the fairy?"
"In Guobei County." Hu Meiniang told Hu Siniang clearly about her encounter with Hu Liuniang, and how she tricked the monster and tested him. Hu Meiniang was not stupid. She knew very well that this matter was of great importance and Ruyi was not easy to deal with. She must not let the ancestor return empty-handed because she had concealed some news.
After hearing Ruyi's news, the other two eavesdropping ancestors were so excited that they let out a little breath, which was immediately discovered by Hu Si Niang: "Who?"
Since they were discovered, it was impossible for Mrs. Huang and Mr. Bai to continue hiding, so they had to show up. The news had already been leaked, and it was useless to say anything more. Even though Hu Siniang was angry, she could only endure and agree to cooperate with the two demons.
The three demons agreed that after catching Ruyi, each of them would get 30% and the remaining 10% would be left for Hu Meiniang.
"After all, this is the news brought by Mei Niang. We can't leave her nothing, right?"
Mr. Bai and Mrs. Huang looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
