Chapter 38 A group of demons dancing 30

Chapter 38 A group of demons dance 30

After Chen Xiao asked, Xu Xiangyun laughed at that time, but she laughed even worse than crying.

"Master Chen, you are a practitioner, so you naturally go wherever you want, and go wherever you want, but I can't. I was born in this Qingshan City since I was a child. The farthest place I have been to is the river outside the city. Now there are wars outside every year, and even the scientific and technological examination system has stopped. It is even more impossible for me to go out of the city. If nothing unexpected happens, I will get married here, have children, and then slowly grow old until I die..."

Xu Xiangyun looked at Chen Xiao calmly, "Master Chen, I know that most women in the world live such a life, but I don't want to be trapped in this city all my life! Even if there are monsters outside and wars continue, I want to go out! I want to travel around the world like you and be home for the whole world."

After hearing this, Chen Xiao was silent for a while and asked her: "Does Mr. Xu think so?"

Xu Xiangyun smiled and shook her head and said, "Qingshan City is the hard work of my parents. My brother has also been determined to inherit his parents' legacy since childhood, and is determined to make the people of Qingshan City live a better life. He has never thought of leaving here."

Chen Xiao nodded lightly, "Ms. Xu's thoughts are indeed a bit shocking. Since ancient times, my daughter has been in a deep boudoir when she was a child, and she stayed in a close house. When she grew up, she married as a wife and kept her children. She would not travel easily. However, if Miss Xu is really willing to give up her family and relatives, she might as well discuss with her parents. After getting permission from her parents, she will enter a certain sect to study. This is not bad."

"Go to those sects with many rules to study?" Xu Xiangyun looked disdainful and snorted softly, "It's just that she escaped from one cage to another. I won't go."

Chen Xiao thought for a while, "So... what you mean is that you have to leave here and don't want to be subject to any restrictions, but if you don't learn a lot of skills first, how can you protect yourself when you encounter danger?"

Xu Xiangyun looked at him in surprise, "After marrying you, will you ignore me?"

Chen Xiao: “…………”

Seeing his face changed, Xu Xiangyun hurriedly said, "I can't do anything to come up with this bad plan. If I can hire you to protect me, of course it's better, but I don't know what you need. You don't want money or food. What can I use to hire you to take me away?"

Chen Xiao closed his eyes and sighed silently, "Miss Xu, the fox demon may come tonight. You go back, other matters... I will talk about it after the matter is settled."

Xu Xiangyun knew that he was still unwilling and looked disappointed.

She bit her lip unwillingly, and there was no other way, so she finally turned around and left...

The sky became darker and darker, and every household in the mountain city lighted up the lights. At first glance, there were stars in the world.

In the room, Chen Xiao pulled out his sword and wiped it carefully. Then he took the sword and went to the next door. He said to Shi Xianyu: "Xiaoyu, be ready to go to Miss Xu's room in the future. Linyuan and I will stay outside to protect your safety."

Shi Xianyu nodded, and after making sure everything was ready, he lifted up his skirt and went to find Xu Xiangyun.

…………

Xu Xiangyun's room was divided into two by a six-sided silk screen.

Shi Xianyu sat in front of the screen, and Xu Xiangyun sat behind the screen - letting Xu Xiangyun stay in the house in order to avoid being noticed by the fox demon and changing people. Chen Xiao also made people incense in the room to disturb the smell in the house.

Just sitting and waiting like this is a bit anxious because I don’t know when the fox demon will come, or even if it will come tonight.

Shi Xianyu sat for a while, but couldn't sit still, so he got up and walked slowly in the room.

The boudoir is not big, and the space is even more cramped after the screen is placed. There is a Duobao Pavilion mahogany stand next to the wall, with some jade or coral craft ornaments on it. Shi Xianyu stopped to admire it for a moment, and his eyes fell on the table covered with painting paper. She glanced and asked, "Can I see the paintings on the table?"

Xu Xiangyun behind the screen replied: "Master, please do whatever you want."

Shi Xianyu flipped over curiously.

Xu Xiangyun has painted many paintings. There are thick stacks of paper on the table, and there are many scrolls inserted in the large porcelain vase at the foot of the table, including flowers, birds, plants, winding rivers, towering mountains and rivers, morning dew and sunset, and almost the entire painting of the scenery around her.

"Miss Xu, you painted so well." Shi Xianyu sincerely praised.

Xu Xiangyun's voice sounded unenergetic and lazy, "I have nothing to do every day, except for needlework, and I can only draw. If you are like me, you can't go anywhere, maybe you can draw better than me."

"I can't do it." Shi Xianyu smiled and shook his head, "I learned to draw for a while, but I couldn't see it at all."

She once stayed in the hospital for a long time, compared with online tutorials to draw cartoon villains, and now she can only draw steamed buns or something.

Shi Xianyu opened another piece of painting paper and was immediately attracted by the painting below.

The painting is a turbulent river. A huge monster crawled out of the river, with tiger-headed eagle claws, wearing armor, lying on the shore in a roaring momentum. There are some villains fleeing in panic on the river bank. Several of them died under the monster claws. After a few strokes, they drew bloody and tragic.

"What kind of monster is this?" Shi Xianyu said in surprise, "It looks so scary."

"You see, is the tiger dragon beast I drew?" Xu Xiangyun said, "I heard from my brother that there is a Maoer Mountain six hundred miles east of Qingshan City. There is an unknown river at the foot of the mountain. There is a water monster called the tiger dragon beast living in the river. It is cruel by nature and likes to eat human flesh, forcing the surrounding villages to migrate and move away. So I drew this monster according to his description."

She paused, and then said quietly: "It's a pity that I'm afraid I won't see the true appearance of the tiger dragon beast in my life."

"What's the difficulty?" Shi Xianyu said, "Isn't it enough to wait until we get rid of the fox demon and ask your brother to take you there to see it, but you still have to stay away from the water to avoid danger."

When Xu Xiangyun heard this, she smiled mocked herself, "You probably don't know. Not to mention leaving Qingshan City, I can't even leave the gate of Xu's mansion."

As he said that, he couldn't help but sigh and said softly: "It would be great if I were you, go wherever you want..."

Shi Xianyu listened silently. In ancient times, women had to be more restrained, and there were so many monsters in this world. The Xu family did not allow Xu Xiangyun to go out, so it should be to protect her, right?

Then she thought, it should be rare for women who had the idea of ​​Xu Xiangyun in ancient times, right?

How could a lady in the boudoir who doesn’t have to worry about food and clothing have the idea of ​​going out for a walk?

…………

Compared to the calmness of the two in the house, the people outside the house were more anxious. Xu Qingfeng was particularly evident. He wandered outside his sister's boudoir, looking at the sky from time to time worriedly, and his hands were tensely tangled together.

He not only hopes that the fox demon will come soon so that Shen Xiao can catch all the monsters in one go, but also worry that the fox demon will really come and hurt his sister.

"Mr. Xu, please go back to the house with Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu." Chen Xiao said, "We will stay here. As long as we deceive the fox demon, let the daughter be fine."

Jun Magistrate Xu bowed to Chen Xiao, "Thank you all the Taoist priests, then let's go back to the house first and wait for the Taoist priest's good news."

He patted Xu Qingfeng on the shoulder and advised: "Let's go, it's useless for us to stay here, but it will cause trouble for the Taoist priest."

Xu Qingfeng was entangled for a moment and bowed to Chen Xiao: "Master Chen, my sister... will be handed over to you."

Chen Xiao's tone was faint: "I will do my best."
